Course release!

30 January 2014: This morning I received an email that I have been awarded a course release for the fall semester. This will allow me to focus a bit more on my scholarship and get some serious work done on my book project. It isn't easy to balance the demands of teaching, research, and scholarship at Shepherd (and teaching is most important here--which is great, because that's what I love the most!), so this course release, combined with a (fingers crossed) productive summer will really get me on the right track.
