Nota Bene: Fridays with Faculty

March 11, 2016
 
 
 
At Virginia Wesleyan, our faculty is passionate about teaching. They are knowledgeable academic advisers, partners in undergraduate research, and dedicated mentors. But they are more than professors. They are inquisitive researchers, published authors, and highly sought after experts in their fields.

I am pleased to announce the launch of “Fridays with Faculty,” a new series developed by Hofheimer Library and the Center for Innovative Teaching and Engaged Learning in effort to showcase the scholarship of Virginia Wesleyan faculty.

The inaugural talk will take place this evening, March 11, from 6-7:30 p.m. in Hofheimer Library. Associate Professor of English Gavin Pate will read from his fictional work-in-progress, Notes From The Coming War. The event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be served.

The second talk in the series will take place April 8 at 6 p.m. in the library, as Assistant Professor of History Kathleen Casey discusses her recent book, The Prettiest Girl on Stage is a Man: Race and Gender Benders in American Vaudeville.

Please join me as we celebrate the work of our remarkable faculty with this unique new series.
