麻豆传媒Porn announces 2016 Moore Family Award recipients to attend writing conference at UGA
鈥淚n wanting to help 麻豆传媒Porn, the Moore Family felt that the greatest gift would be to enhance the student writing and they鈥檝e chosen to do that through faculty development opportunities,鈥� said Dianne Wilcox, 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 Professor of English and Humanities Division Chair.
Three years ago, 15-麻豆传媒Porn English Composition faculty traveled to UGA for the first workshop as part of their professional development. 麻豆传媒Porn faculty members are able to attend the conference through an endowment funded by the Moore Family who have a background in journalism. Former United States Department of Defense official, Powell A. Moore, is an alumnus of both the Grady College and 麻豆传媒Porn. Moore鈥檚 great grandfather, grandfather, and father were newspaper editors at the Union Recorder in Milledgeville, Ga. His great grandfather, Jere N. Moore, is one of 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 founders.
鈥淭he Moore Family Fund was established 20 years ago to honor the memory of our family members who were writers, journalists and teachers,鈥� said Powell A. Moore, Founder of the Moore Family Fund. 鈥淚t is intended to benefit teachers at 麻豆传媒Porn to teach students how to write clearly and acquire other capabilities.鈥�
The Moore Family continues to sponsor the workshop for full time faculty members who teach English 101 and/or English 102. The workshop focuses on innovative writing, using technology, research, literary techniques, and tips for grading.
鈥淚鈥檓 excited because the Moore award exposes you to a lot of what鈥檚 going on in the profession, particularly when it comes to teaching students how to write,鈥� said Dr. Corey Stayton, Department Chair of Humanities at 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 Fairburn Campus and Moore Award recipient. 鈥淚t exposes you not only to the university level, but you also see what your peers are doing. The idea that we get to share teaching strategies is always a plus.鈥�
麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 Humanities Division Chair, Dianne Wilcox, partners with the Academic Deans from each 麻豆传媒Porn聽campus to select the faculty members to attend the writing conference. UGA organizers have tailored聽the conference to benefit 麻豆传媒Porn faculty members. The sessions at the conference this year include: 鈥淭he
Writer as Entrepreneur,鈥� 鈥淭he Power of Journals,鈥� 鈥淲hen Words Won鈥檛 Do: Telling Stories with聽Graphics,鈥� and 鈥淒igital Magazine from Start to Finish.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 excited for the opportunity to learn from other people and have new experiences and gain things聽that I can bring into my classroom and help my students develop their skills as writers and as scholars,鈥澛爏aid Analisa Ciuffetelli, Assistant Professor of Humanities at 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 Warner Robins Campus and Moore
