Our humanities liaison, Scott Pennington, has accepted a fantastic position at the University of Maryland. While we are excited for Scott, we are sad to lose such a dedicated colleague. Scott’s last day is July 8. If you’d like to send him your thoughts or best wishes, e-mail Scott at spenning@richmond.edu by the 8th.
Until we fill Scott’s position, the Center’s assistant director, Mike Dixon, will be filling in as the humanities liaison. He has over 20 years in instructional design/technology as an academic consultant in higher education. He’s also taught at the university level since 1995, and has two degrees in music theory/composition as well as a second masters in instructional design & technology. He also has extensive experience and certification in distance education administration, online course design and online teaching. Mike has a passion for working/collaborating with faculty and hopes to meet with most of the faculty under the UR humanities umbrella! Reach out to Mike at mdixon4@richmond.edu or 289-8066. His office is on the 3rd floor of Boatwright library, room 322, just down the hall from the TLC.
Details on the search process, including candidate visits/presentations, will be communicated via Spiderbytes, direct e-mail to department chairs and program coordinators, and here on our website.
