The Fount THE CITADEL SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES NEWSLETTER SUMMER 2012- Vol. 8 Iss. 3

The Citadel named top public college in the South by U.S. News

The Citadel ranks No. 1 among the top public universities

in the South that offer a full range of undergraduate and

master's degree programs, according to the 2012 Best

Colleges rankings from U.S. News & World Report.

Dear Friends,

With the Labor Day holiday behind us, we mark the semi-official end of summer. Since commence-

ment exercises last May, a record number of our cadets participated in SHSS summer study abroad

programs which took them to China, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Ghana, and Spain. Fac-

ulty traveled to a variety of distant venues to conduct research for forthcoming books and articles and

to make plans for the development of new courses and the hosting of major speakers this fall. Crimi-

nal Justice--on July 1—became The Citadel’s first new academic department in more than half a cen-

tury. This fall we launch new graduate certificate programs in Intelligence Analysis and in Spanish.

We also welcome a record number of freshmen majors in Humanities & Social Sciences and talented

new faculty members in three of our departments. Below, please find an overview of these and other

exciting activities in which our students and faculty have been engaged since last I wrote. I think you

will be as proud of them as I am. As always, thank you for the support that makes their achievements

possible--and please don’t hesitate to write, call, or visit if you have questions about or a special in-

terest in particular parts of our work.

As I write (on September 5), no collegiate football team in the nation has a better record than our

Dogs. May it ever be so!

Best regards,

Bo

highlighted a classroom project which required students en-

rolled in the course CRMJ393: Homicide to illustrate theories

and real-life scenarios of why people kill; a lesson earlier

taught to the students in a lecture based format. The assign-

ment demonstrated that by adding a creative component to a

traditional classroom lecture professors

can enhance student enjoyment, under-

standing and comprehension of any

subject. (Picture Attached) The data presented was developed into a manuscript

that is currently being reviewed for an academic publication.

The Lowcountry Writing Project (LWP), our lo-

cal affiliate of the National Writing Project, com-

pleted another year of professional development

activities for area teachers.

The core activity for the year, the Invitational

Summer Institute, took place in June in Capers

Hall. Teachers from elementary, middle, and high

schools came together for three intensive weeks of

study, writing, and sharing of practice; teachers

who completed the Institute became “teacher con-

sultants” who provide in-service programs for col-

leagues at their own schools and across the Low-

country.

Earlier in the year, Citadel Professors Lauren

Rule Maxwell and Kathy Strong Hansen, both

LWP teacher consultants, offered courses in

“Freelance Writing” and “Writing Children’s

Books,” respectively. Such courses help teachers

become more effective and more confident as writ-

ers themselves, so they can teach and use writing

more effectively in their own classrooms.

Poet and author DuBose Heyward is best known as the writer of the book that in-

spired Gershwin's great American opera, Porgy and Bess. But, some literary his-

torians believe he deserves more credit, both for his contributions to that opera

and for his role in the Southern literary renaissance of the early 1900s. The 2012

SACS program will celebrate the life and work of this native Charlestonian with

performances from Porgy and Bess and dramatic readings from Heyward's

Charleston poems and from the book, Porgy. A power-packed panel discussion

will include College of Charleston archivist, Harlan Greene; best-selling novelist,

Dorothea Benton Frank; and Heyward biographer, James Hutchisson. Each year,

the Southern Artists Celebratory Series (SACS) highlights one Southern artist. All

profits from SACS events are donated to the Charleston Clemente Course, a free

college-level course in the humanities, offered to expand the intellectual horizons

of homeless and disadvantaged Charlestonians as one means of helping them to

climb out of poverty. Circular Congregational Church, 150 Meeting St. May 27
