Save the date for the AAEP Marantz Award celebration on March 31 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in the Barnett Collaboratory in Room 141, Sullivant Hall.
In 1999 The Marantz Distinguished Alumni Lecture Fund was established with gifts from Harold and Kenneth Marantz to honor a distinguished alumni of the program. Each year, graduate students in the department select the winner. This year's recipient is Dr. Shari L. Savage, PhD 2011. Dr. Savage will deliver a presentation titled Mentoring: In Defense of Self-efficacy [pdf] as related to her scholarship in art education. Dr. Savage, who received her PhD from the department in 2009, is renowned for her scholarship on narrative inquiry, self-reflective auto-ethnography that critically investigates issues of gender in popular culture media, and mentorship in higher education.
The department will also name its first annual AAEP Outstanding GTA awardee during this ceremony. This competitive award was established to recognize the impact, pedagogy, and commitment to growth of an excellent graduate teaching associate.
