The University of Montevallo was well-represented in late July at the Alabama Possible Higher Education Alliance Summer Workshop. Attendees included Tom Sanders, college of business; Courtney Bentley, teacher leadership; Hollie Cost, service learning and special education; Jessica Merchant, counseling and career center; and UM students Patrick Johnson, Natasha Langner and Jennifer Gabel. Karen Pendleton, director of UM partner agency Shelby Emergency Assistance, also attended with the group. The workshop was titled “Developing a Long-Term Vision to Unlock Alabama’s Potential.”
Jim Herlihy, Athletics, was recently selected to serve on the board of directors of the Division II Athletics Directors Association (D2ADA).
Scott Meyer, art, has been selected for inclusion in a book, Wood-Fired Ceramics — 100 Contemporary Artists, by Amedeo Salamoni. The book, to be published later this year by Schiffer Publishing LTD, presents a worldwide survey of artists, their works, kilns and philosophies. All of Meyer’s included works were fired in Fat Bastard, the UM anagama kiln.
