School of Pharmacy receives $171,000 scholarship endowment
The Marshall University School of Pharmacy has received a $171,000 scholarship endowment courtesy of Advantage Toyota and dealership owners Shawn Ball and David Ball.
It is the largest privately funded scholarship to date for the school.
The brothers, who have generously made gifts to both higher education institutions and public schools in West Virginia, say their
efforts to make a difference in the lives of students is very important to their family.
A visit to John Marshall
(Left) President Gilbert and other Marshall staff and students work to clean the gravesite of John Marshall and his family in Richmond, Virginia, last week. (Right) The John Marshall Fife and Drum Corps was also there to participate in the cleanup and to perform at a reception for Marshall alumni and donors living in the Richmond area.
The Advantage Toyota Scholarship will be awarded to one student per year, for a total of four students when fully distributed.
The recipients will be incoming pharmacy students who attended Marshall University for their pre-pharmacy studies; who are residents of Cabell, Wayne, Putnam, Lincoln or Mason counties in West Virginia; and who have demonstrated financial need.
The award recipient(s) will be chosen annually by the school of pharmacy dean in cooperation with the office of student financial assistance.
“We are very grateful for this significant gift from Advantage Toyota,” said Gayle Brazeau, Ph.D., dean of the Marshall University School of Pharmacy. “The generosity of our community, as is evidenced by this endowment from Shawn and David Ball, is essential to the continued success of our school.”
Marshall’s school of pharmacy, which opened in 2012 and is currently located on the campus of the Huntington VA Medical Center, will move to a new facility on the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine campus in the fall of 2019. The new building, coupled with new housing for graduate medical and pharmacy students, was announced last month and is a growth initiative the Ball brothers say was a partial catalyst for their gift to the school of pharmacy.
“We believe this new investment in the school of pharmacy will have a huge economic impact on the city of Huntington and surrounding areas,” Shawn Ball said. “Marshall means a great deal to David and me and also to Advantage Toyota.”

Shawn Ball and his brother, David Ball, along with their company, Advantage Toyota, presented the school of pharmacy with a $171,000 scholarship endowment May 17 at the school.
On behalf of Advantage Toyota, David and I are truly blessed to be able to establish this endowment,” said Shawn Ball, who is also a member of the Marshall University Board of Governors. “We wanted to provide some financial support to a local student who needs a little help. I graduated from Marshall in 1995 and the amount of growth the university has experienced since then is amazing.”

University librarian to give presentation in Brazil
Thomas Walker, music and digital services librarian at Marshall, has been invited to give a lecture on copyright and intellectual property as it pertains to academic libraries and musicians as part of the UnB Guitar Festival June 4-8 at the Universidade de Brasilia in Brazil. The presentation will be titled “Copyright and Music Collections in the Modern Library.”
As part of his work at Marshall, Walker is an administrator for Marshall Digital Scholar, the institutional repository of Marshall University. Walker works exclusively with the authors and publishers to obtain republishing rights for the scholarly output of faculty, staff and students.
The festival will feature a series of concerts, master classes, workshops and lectures. Walker said his lecture will show students coming to America that there are ways to protect their interests.
“Copyright is an important topic in music,” Walker said. “So many performers have lost their creative work over the years by either signing away their rights or just not knowing. Giving this presentation will hopefully inform new musicians to follow the rules not just for them, but their colleagues as well.”
For more information, contact Walker by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at 304-696-2309.
Guitar Ensemble also to visit Brazil
The Marshall University Guitar Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Júlio Ribeiro Alves, will travel to Brazil to perform three concerts in the capital, Brasília, from June 4 to 15.
The first concert will be during the University of Brasília Guitar Festival, where the group will have the opportunity to collaborate with the University of Brasília Guitar Orchestra. This performance will be followed by others at the Redemptoris Mater Seminar and the Federal Institute of Brasília.
The ensemble is formed by guitarists Jonathan Thorne, Chase Mayo, Jason Dandelet, Jeremy Paitsel, Mason Anderson, James Stamm, Kyle Levisay, Thomas Walker and Kayla Wilson. They will share, with the Brazilian audiences, works by composers such as Giorgio Tortora (Italy), Olga Amelkino-Vera (Belarus), Fabrice Pierrat (French Guyana) and Jacob do Bandolim (Brazil), as well as arrangements of West Virginia folk music.
In addition to the concerts, the members of the MU Guitar Ensemble will have the opportunity to experience a cultural immersion in the Brazilian capital. They will learn about the history of Brasília during a city tour, visit the School of Choro Raphael Rabello, attend events by Brazilian artists, savor the Brazilian food and interact with members of the community in Brasília.
Marshall, Nu Jazz Agency to host International Jazz Festival June 19-23
Marshall University, in partnership with the Nu Jazz Agency, will host the inaugural Huntington International Jazz Festival (huntingtonjazzfest.org) June 19-23 in Huntington, in conjunction with the Marsalis International Jazz Piano Competition June 22-23 on the Huntington campus. The Jazz Piano Competition is among the largest competitions of its type in the world, and will be a triennial event in Huntington offering an awards package of more than $200,000 in cash and prizes.
The five-day jazz festival will include everything from jazz performances to a family-friendly street festival to a jazz-related exhibit at the Huntington Museum of Art. It will feature community activities for people of all ages, appealing not only to jazz aficionados but to lovers of music, art and literature. The activities will culminate with two back-to-back nights of historical performances from the Marsalis Family Quintet, Arturo O’Farrill and the O’Farrill Family Quartet, and Jon Batiste of the Stephen Colbert Show.
The Marsalis family has been “America’s First Family of Jazz,” including co-artistic directors and NEA Jazz Masters Ellis and Jason Marsalis, who will be joined by family members Branford Marsalis and Delfeayo Marsalis in a rarefamily performance. Also highlighted at the festival will be performances by the Jon Batiste Trio and “America’s First Family of Afro-Latin Jazz,” five-time Grammy and Latin Grammy award winner Arturo O’Farrill, with his sons Adam O’Farrill and Zack O’Farrill.
The festival opens on Tuesday, June 19, with an exhibit at the Huntington Museum of Art featuring the photographs of legendary jazz photographer Herman Leonard. Other events planned throughout the festival include a recreation of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Music Concert, a special one-hour discussion on understanding jazz music, a concert of children’s musical favorites set in the jazz style; and a special literary discussion on the photographs, life and writings of legendary Jazz bassist Milt “The Judge” Hinton. In addition, the Marshall University Jazz I Ensemble will
perform a concert featuring NEA Jazz Master Jason Marsalis. Also, there will be an exhibition of never-before-seen photographs from the Marsalis family archives and much more.
Weekend events will begin on Friday, June 22, with a performance from the Marshall University Jazz-MU- Tazz Summer Camp participants; the first two performance rounds of the Ellis Marsalis International Jazz Piano Competition finals; followed by the headline act, the Marsalis Family Quintet. Saturday, June 23, brings a street fair with arts, crafts and other activities for children, along with food and beverage stands and pop-up mini jazz concerts. Saturday’s events will also feature Arturo O’Farrill with his family quartet in a Latin Jazz concert, as well as the final two performance rounds of the Ellis Marsalis International Jazz Piano Competition. The final evening of the inaugural festival will conclude with the awards ceremony announcing the first, second, and third-place winners of the competition, along with other special awards and a final headline performance by the Jon Batiste Trio.
“I believe this to be a groundbreaking event for music as well as the state of West Virginia.” Ellis Marsalis said. “The city of Huntington’s residents deserve to have a rich cultural experience based in their own community, which they can share with the Tri-State area. Now, for the first time, they can celebrate America’s music and the cultural diversity it represents in the Mountain State.”
“Marshall University has been important to the state of West Virginia and seminal to the city of Huntington. Their dedication to the people in the community and to Jazz music makes them our ideal partner for the Ellis Marsalis International Jazz Piano Competition and Huntington International Jazz Festival,” said Jerald Miller, managing director of the Nu Jazz Agency. “The Tri-State area is such a tremendous resource to the state and to our entire country, that the idea of launching the first international jazz event of this kind is a dream come true for all of us. I believe that in the years to come, this event will help to build a stronger community and broader appreciation for jazz music, the performing arts, and a host of other art forms in this area.”
Marshall was selected as an ideal place for the jazz competition because of its commitment to jazz education. Under the direction of Dr. Martin Saunders, Marshall University’s jazz studies program offers 13 jazz courses and degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. They are housed in the Jomie Jazz Center, a 12,700-square-foot facility with classrooms, practice rooms, media facilities, a recording studio, a rehearsal hall and performance spaces dedicated to the study of jazz. Courses focus on performance, arranging, history, music technology and production. Marshall has hosted guest artists including 26-time Downbeat Critic’s and Reader’s Poll award-winner Steve Turre; Ashlin Parker; world-renowned jazz percussionist Jeff Hamilton; and Ellis Marsalis, giving students chances to engage and interact with masters of the music.
Marshall is hosting the jazz competition and festival in partnership with the Nu Jazz Agency, an international jazz music management, marketing, promotions, booking, distribution and arts consulting company.

Thomas Smith awarded Marshall’s top civil engineering scholarship
Marshall University civil engineering student Thomas Smith has received a $6,000 scholarship from the Contractors Association of West Virginia (CAWV).
The association’s scholarship foundation distributed $17,000 to West Virginia college students who were pursuing an education and careers in construction or engineering. Smith was this year’s top scholarship recipient.
He graduated from Marshall in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing, and shortly afterward started a landscaping business. This piqued his interested in the engineering field, and Smith came back to Marshall and enrolled in the College of Information Technology and Engineering. He is now pursuing a civil engineering degree while continuing to run his landscape business and working for CAWV member firm Martin Engineering PLLC in Hurricane, West Virginia.
Dr. Wael Zatar, dean of the College of Information Technology and Engineering, said he is proud of Smith.
“Thomas is a nontraditional student who is an excellent role model. He has displayed persistence by coming back to the college and studied hard, excelled in his classes and has been an outstanding student,” Zatar said. “His commitment to his studies has allowed him to be the recipient of this prestigious award by the committee. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.
“Marshall University has been the home for critical thinkers, which helps students reach and achieve different heights by the time they graduate from CITE. We have hands on experience and pay a lot of attention to our students. The faculty spend a great amount of one-on-one time with their students, which helps prepares them for future employment. By the time our students graduate, they are well prepared for the workforce. We are very proud of our students and graduates of the college.”
Marshall cardiologist receives Lifetime Achievement Award
The West Virginia chapter of the American College of Cardiology recently presented Mark A. Studeny, M.D., professor and chair of the department of cardiology at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
Studeny is a board-certified, fellowship-trained cardiologist with Marshall Health who has been at the forefront of innovative cardiovascular medicine in the region. In 2013, he was an integral part of the team that performed the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the tristate area. Through this
advancement, patients now have access to a less invasive procedure that does not require open-heart surgery. He also successfully completed a Watchman procedure in November 2016, which is an alternative to the lifelong use of blood thinners for some people with atrial fibrillation.
Studeny graduated from the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in 1986. He completed his residency at Texas Tech University, followed by a cardiology fellowship back at Marshall. He joined the school of medicine faculty at Marshall in 1993 and became chair of the department in 2002.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes a West Virginia-American College of Cardiology (ACC) member who has had a lifetime of dedication to excellence in cardiovascular medicine. The recipient is selected through a nomination process and voted on by the members of West Virginia-ACC. ———

Straley also has served area organizations such as Heritage Farm Museum and Village.
“I was honored to nominate Steven for this award,” said David Trowbridge, an associate professor of history at Marshall and creator of the Clio app, a website and mobile application that connects people to the history and culture that surround them. “I have seen him grow as a scholar over the past two years and can attest that every task Steven begins is completed with the kind of clarity, excellence, and attention to detail that represents the best of our discipline.
“He is committed to learning and sharing what he learns with others and this has been reflected in the individual entries and walking tours he has created in Clio. Steven is the kind of student we all wish to teach, and I look forward to working with him as he continues his education.”
Straley is an employee at Heritage Farm Museum and Village, where he serves as a docent.
“People love him,” said Audy Perry, executive director at Heritage Farm. “He’s a good fellow and a good ambassador for West Virginia (and a promoter of) why it’s important to study history.”

Foundation establishes Harry J. and Shirley Cline Scholarship
The Marshall University Foundation Inc. has established the Harry J. and Shirley Cline Scholarship, per the wishes of Mr. and Mrs. Cline’s estate.
Through this planned gift, the Harry J. and Shirley Cline Scholarship was established to assist students enrolling in Marshall University from the watershed of Gilbert Creek in Mingo County.
Harry J. Cline graduated from Marshall University in 1956 with a bachelor’s degree. He served as the superintendent of the Mingo County Schools and was the
former assistant superintendent and principal of Gilbert Grade School. Shirley Cline also graduated from Marshall in 1975 with a master’s degree in education.
Steve New, counsel for the estate, presented Marshall University representatives with a check May 10 at Mingo Central High School. Kyle Toler, a native of Gilbert, West Virginia, who plans to major in broadcast journalism, was named the inaugural recipient.
“I am beyond pleased that two lifelong educators have left a lasting legacy to promote education of youth from Gilbert Creek. Harry and Shirley taught many of us and generations of students in the Gilbert area. Their lives were dedicated to the education and advancement of young people,” New said. “Through these scholarships, their memories will live on and young men and women will have an opportunity to gain a first class education and, hopefully, pay their rewards forward just as Harry and Shirley Cline have done.”
“We are honored that Mr. and Mrs. Cline believed their degrees from Marshall made such a difference in their lives that they planned ahead to ensure students from Mingo County the same opportunities,” said Dr. Ron Area, chief executive officer of the Marshall University Foundation. “We are excited for Kyle to begin his Marshall journey this fall.”
For questions regarding the Harry J. and Shirley Cline Scholarship, please contact Andrea Gilman, senior counselor at Mingo Central High School.

Title: Re-imagining contested communities: Connecting Rotherham through research
Editors: Elizabeth Campbell, Kate Pahl, Elizabeth Pente and Zanib Rasool
Description: This is a book that challenges contemporary images of ‘place’. Too often we are told about ‘deprived neighbourhoods’ but rarely do the people who live in those communities get to shape the agenda and describe, from their perspective, what is important to them. In this unique book the process of re-imagining comes to the fore in a fresh and contemporary look at one UK town, Rotherham.
Using history, artistic practice, writing, poetry, autobiography and collaborative ethnography, this book literally and figuratively re-imagines a place. It is a manifesto for alternative visions of community, located in histories and cultural reference points that often remain unheard within the mainstream media. As such, the book presents a ‘how to’ for researchers interested in community collaborative research and accessing alternative ways of knowing and voices in marginalised communities.
Attended a Conference with 8 Doctoral Students:
Beth and 8 Ed.D. students (Leighann Davidson, Amy Gannon, Julie Midkiff, Mallory Mount, Amy Saunders, Lee Ann Vecellio, Kim White and Ann Hutchison Wilkinson) made four presentations at the 2018 Appalachian Studies Association Conference: “We Are … Working to Make a Difference: Crafting Community-University Collaborations to Address Significant Problems”; “From Hell to Hope: A Collaborative Writing Group for Women in Recovery”; “From Appalachia to Art Application: A Poster Presentation in Teaching Elementary Students the Connections between European/Mediterranean Art and the Appalachian Arts and Crafts Tradition”; and “Finding Success: A Mother and Son Talk About Triumphing Through Transition.”
