Vol. 21 No. 4 - September 12, 2016

Grace Hortense Greenley, lifelong educator, understood the value of education and its importance to society. The former teacher and administrator made a major legacy gift to help area students continue their education at Truman.

Fueled with an estate distribution of approximately $1.2 million, the Grace Hortense Greenley Scholarship will provide substantial resources to students interested in pursuing a degree in business and accountancy, with preference given to students from Knox and Shelby counties in Missouri.

“This impactful gift will provide remarkable opportunities for Truman students for generations to come. It is a very fitting and lasting tribute to the educational career of Miss Greenley,” University President Susan L. Thomas said.

The gift is invested in Truman’s endowment pool, and when sufficient earnings have accrued, awards will commence. When fully endowed, the value of annual awards is estimated to total $50,000.

Born on the family farm near Novelty, Mo., Greenley graduated from Novelty High School in 1936. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business education from the University in 1940, and later returned to earn her master’s degree. She taught for 36 years in Missouri secondary schools in Laclede, Edina, Brentwood, LaPlata, Novelty, LaBelle and St. Louis. For 10 years she served as basketball coach and had outstanding teams at several high schools.

In 1963, she was selected principal of the newly formed Knox County R-I High School in Edina, a position she held until her retirement in 1976. During her educational career, she had memberships in national, state, district and local professional organizations.

As a memorial to her parents, Greenley donated a family farm near Novelty to create a research center. She was recognized by the Missouri Preservation Organization and the Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation.

Greenley passed away Dec. 21, 2014 at the age of 96.

The School of Business will host Allen North of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis as the Bentele/Mallinckrodt Executive-in-Residence. His presentation, "Understanding the Importance of Community Banking," will take place at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 26 in Violette Hall 1000.

North is an assistant vice president in banking supervision, credit, community development and learning innovation. He has served in a number of capacities within this division during his 22 years at the Fed, and he possesses a broad range of community bank supervision experience. His current responsibilities include oversight for safety and soundness supervision for banks and bank holding companies in the states of Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois and Mississippi, as well as coordinating the district’s IT and trust supervision activities.

Previously North had a number of other responsibilities for other functions within the division, including consumer affairs and community reinvestment act supervision, community development, supervisory risk and policy analysis, and rapid communications.

North has led or participated in numerous interagency, system and local initiatives, and is currently serving as the district’s representative on the Fed’s community banking organization management group. In addition to his regulatory experience, he has industry experience working in consulting, lending and special assets.

The Kohlenberg Lyceum Series begins Sept. 24 with a performance by the Kansas City Chorale, a several-time Grammy award-winning vocal ensemble that brings audiences a rich and diverse repertoire.

The choir has garnered international recognition for artistic merit. The New York Times referred to the Chorale as having “refined sound and elegant phrasing,” as well as a “vivid intensity” and a performance possessing “buoyant pulse and energetic finesse.” Conductor Charles Bruffy leads the group, a nationally recognized director with five Grammy awards under his belt.

The performance will mark a homecoming for Truman alumnus Frank Fleschner ('05), who sings with the 30-person choir.

The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 in Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall. Truman faculty, staff and students as well as community members may purchase up to two tickets for $5 per ticket (includes tax). Tickets are available now at the University cashier window, online at lyceum.truman.edu or at Edna Campbells in downtown Kirksville.

This performance has been made possible thanks to donations from alumni, friends and corporations/foundations to the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series Fund. For more information, visit lyceum.truman.edu, email pr@truman.edu or call 660.785.4016.

Author and journalist Maggie Messitt will be Truman’s 2016 Clayton B. Ofstad Endowed Writer-in-Residence.

In a special event, Messitt will read from her book, “The Rainy Season: Three Lives in the New South Africa,” as well as excerpts from her work-in-progress, a hybrid of investigation and memoir centered around the disappearance of a family member. Funded by the Clayton B. Ofstad Endowment, the reading takes place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 21 in the Ophelia Parrish Performance Hall.

An independent narrative and immersion journalist, as well as a dual-citizen, Messitt has spent the last decade reporting from inside underserved communities in midwestern America and southern Africa. She lived in northeastern South Africa for eight years where she was the founding director of a writing school for rural African women, editor of two publications and an international reporter.

Since returning to the U.S., Messitt’s reports and essays have been published in Creative Nonfiction, Mother Jones and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance magazine, among others. Longlisted for the 2016 Sunday Times Alan Paton Award, “The Rainy Season: Three Lives in the New South Africa” is her first book.

Messitt has a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and a human rights interdisciplinary program from Boston College; a Master of Fine Arts degree from Goucher College; and is one dissertation defense away from a Ph.D. in creative nonfiction at Ohio University. A 2015 Kenyon Review Peter Taylor Fellow and a 2015 writer-in-residence at Bowers Writers House, Messitt is teaching a creative nonfiction course at Truman this fall and working to finish her second book. When she’s not on the road or kayaking a river somewhere, she lives in Pittsburgh, Pa.

More information about Messitt, the Ofstad Reading Series and other School of Arts and Letters’ events can be found on the School of Arts and Letters’ Facebook page.

Representatives from U.S. Bank present a check for $2,000 to Charles Hunsaker, interim co-director of University advancement, to be directed to the Truman State University Excellence Fund. With this gift, U.S. Bank has generously contributed more than $50,000 in support of Truman. In addition to their many gifts to the Excellence Fund, the bank has also provided support for a variety of areas on campus, including the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series, Northeast Missouri Alumni Chapter and Bulldog Athletics. Along with direct support, U.S. Bank has a matching gift program that lets alumni, parents and friends help Truman secure even higher levels of funding. This donation counts toward Truman’s “Pursue the Future” campaign, which is currently at about 75 percent of its $40 million goal.

An information meeting for the Spring 2017 Missouri Government Internship Program will take place at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 14 in Violette Hall 1412.

The Missouri Government Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to gain meaningful experience in the fast-paced world of state politics. Selected interns will work as full-time staff assistants with a legislator or state public official. By interning at the Missouri Capitol, students will expand their knowledge of state government, build a diversified professional network and establish a basis for future professional positions.

Last year, senior Kaitlyn Burke interned at the Missouri State Capitol during Spring 2016 for Sen. Jill Schupp. From that experience, Burke was hired for a full-time position with the Koster for Governor campaign.

“Networking was a huge part of the internship for me. My experience at the Capitol allowed me to meet hundreds of people that I otherwise wouldn’t have gotten to meet,” Burke said. “That networking turned into a campaign internship over the summer that ultimately became a full-time position.”

By participating in the Missouri Government Internship Program, Burke noted the invaluable opportunities she had that will continue throughout her career.

All majors are encouraged to apply. Emily Harrison, a junior agriculture business major, was an intern during Spring 2016 for Sen. Brian Munzlinger. As a student outside of the political science major, Harrison spoke highly of how the professional experiences and knowledge of being at the Capitol applied to her classes and academic future.

“I would recommend this internship for anyone and everyone that might have an interest in state government or has a desire to work hard and make serious connections,” she said. “This experience has not only changed my interests within the agriculture sector, but also my career path as a whole.”

The varying daily tasks throughout each office could include attending public hearings, completing legislative research, writing and editing published materials, constituent relations or assisting with basic office work.

Many former interns have subsequently taken positions as legislative directors, chiefs of staff, judicial clerks, policy analysts, lobbyists and public officials as a direct result of what they learned and the connections they made as interns.

The Truman State University Foundation provides selected interns with a stipend. Interested students should click here for more information and to view the internship application. Additional information will be presented at the meeting, Sept. 14. Questions can be directed to Candy Young or Heidi Templeton.

The Theatre Department will perform its first production of the 2016-17 school year, “The Wake of Jamey Foster.”

Playwright Beth Henley’s “The Wake of Jamey Foster” focuses on the family hostility, unrequited love and class tensions caused by the untimely death and subsequent wake of Jamey Foster. Truman’s production is directed by professor Ronald M. Rybkowski. It features returning performances by Julie Amuedo, Nicholas Huber and Catherine McMahan, as well as first time main stage performances by Shanon Barton, Grant Jennings, Francis Kemper and Becca Leslie.

The performance is suitable for adults and children older than 13. Tickets are available for $5 each at the box office in Ophelia Parrish beginning Sept. 14, or they can be purchased at the door. Performances begin at 8 p.m. Sept. 21-24 in Ophelia Parrish Severns Theatre.

For more information about “The Wake of Jamey Foster,” future theatre performances and additional events from the School of Arts and Letters, visit the school’s Facebook page or the Theatre Department's Facebook page.

A lecture-recital recreating a concert performed on Truman’s campus in 1926 will be presented by Thomas Trimborn, professor emeritus of music, assisted by Jesse Krebs, associate professor of music, and Michael Bunchman, collaborative pianist and coordinator. The program will include period film clips, photographs, recordings and live musical performances. Close ties between Kirksville, Truman’s Department of Music, Kirksville High School and the dazzling professional music-making of that period will be explored in the presentation. This event is free and open to the public.

The first event of the Global Issues Colloquium colloquium, “Transnational Latin American Revolutionary Solidarity with the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party in the 1950s and Beyond,” will take place at 7 p.m. Sept. 15 in Magruder Hall 2001. This presentation will use the stories of Carlos Padilla and Rosa Meneses, two members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party (PRNP), to examine three issues related to Puerto Rico and Latin America in the 1950s. The issues this presentation addresses largely occurred prior to the 1959 Cuban revolution, but they provide insight into the revolutionary currents that existed throughout Latin America in the pivotal decade leading up to it.

The colloquium was first developed more than a dozen years ago as an informal attempt to broaden conversations about current issues affecting the world. More recently, it has found a niche within the structure of the International Studies Program. Charged with “sustaining and enhancing an atmosphere in which global thinking becomes habitual,” the colloquiums aim to help the broader community understand the “strengths, beauties and core humanity of other cultures.” For further information on these event, visit the Global Colloquium’s webpage at globalissues.truman.edu.

The Rangel Graduate Fellowship Program is a U.S. Department of State program that supports individuals interested in careers in the Foreign Service. It provides benefits of up to $95,000 over two years toward a master’s degree, arranges internships on Capitol Hill and at U.S. embassies and provides mentorship and professional development support. Fellows can use the fellowship to attend two-year master’s programs in U.S. institutions to study an area of relevance to the Foreign Service, including international relations, public policy, public administration, economics or business administration. Upon successful completion of the two-year fellowship and Foreign Service entry requirements, Fellows join the Foreign Service of the U.S. Department of State, embarking on a uniquely rewarding career of international service. Applicants must be college seniors or graduates planning to start two-year graduate programs in fall 2017, must have GPAs of at least 3.2, and must be U.S. citizens. The program welcomes any undergraduate major and encourages applications from members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service and those with financial need. Information and application materials can be found at rangelprogram.org. The deadline for the 2017 Rangel International Affairs Graduate Fellowship is Sept. 19.

The application for the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship is open and due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Nov. 1. The Soros Fellowship honors and supports the graduate educations of 30 new Americans each year. Fellows are selected on the basis of merit – the specific criteria emphasize creativity, originality, initiative and sustained accomplishment – in annual national competitions. Candidates apply directly. The program does not depend on recommendations from universities or regional screening, and neither financial need nor distributive considerations are taken into account in the selection process. Current or future graduate students who are 30 or younger, and who are immigrants (naturalized citizens, green card holders, DACA) or children of immigrants, are encouraged to apply at pdsoros.org.
