Vol. 21 No. 5 - September 19, 2016

For the 20th year in a row, U.S. News & World Report has named Truman the No. 1 public university in the Midwest region.

This recognition comes from the newly released 2017 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings. Truman also tied for the No. 8 spot overall in the Midwest region among both private and public institutions that provide a full range of undergraduate and master’s programs. Truman far outpaced the other Missouri public schools on the list, the closest of which was more than 50 spots lower.

“We are thrilled Truman’s dedication to an exceptional educational experience has resulted in this distinction for two decades,” University President Dr. Susan L. Thomas said. “We have proven time and again that student success is our highest priority and it is fantastic to be recognized for our culture of excellence. We are honored every time we achieve this recognition and it is something we never take for granted.”

High praise for Truman came in several supplemental categories. It was the only public school in the Midwest to earn a spot in the “A Strong Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching” section, coming in tied for No. 2. Truman was the only Missouri school to be recognized in this area.

The University’s dedication to student research led to Truman’s inclusion in the “Programs to Look For” section in the category of “Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects.” Schools on the unranked list were cited as institutions where “students do intensive and self-directed research or creative work that results in an original or scholarly paper or project that can be formally presented on or off campus.”

Another appearance for Truman came on the “A-Plus Schools for B Students” list. Schools in this unranked category were acknowledged as institutions where such students “have a decent shot at being accepted and thriving” because “spirit and hard work could make all the difference to the admissions office.”

Truman also earned a spot on the “Best Colleges for Veterans” list, coming in as the No. 1 public school in the Midwest, No. 8 overall for the region. To qualify for this list, schools must participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and have 20 or more students who used GI Bill benefits to finance their educations.

U.S. News & World Report bases its regional rankings on peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, graduation rate performance, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving. Complete listings are available at usnews.com/colleges.

The Theatre Department comedy “The Wake of Jamey Foster” opens Sept. 21 and runs through Sept. 24 in the James G. Severns Theatre in Ophelia Parrish. 

Tickets are $5 and available in advance at the box office in the atrium of Ophelia Parrish. Tickets are also available for purchase the nights of the performances. The production will begin at 8 p.m. and is suitable for adults and children over the age of 13.

“The Wake of Jamey Foster,” written by Beth Henley, takes place in a small town in Mississippi. Jamey Foster, a failed poet and would-be historian, was kicked in the head by a cow and died while consorting with his mistress in a pasture. Mourners have gathered for his wake, including: Jamey’s estranged wife; her sister and brother and the brother’s girlfriend; Jamey’s upwardly mobile brother and his oppressively doting wife; and an eccentric family friend who raises pigs. All gathered for the wake seem to agree on one point—none of them really liked the deceased very much. But on most other matters they are far apart, and as old enmities flare up, the play explodes with bizarre humor and zany revelations. In the end, a tenuous truce is reached as those assembled prepare to depart for the final rites—but it is abundantly clear that the lives on which Jamey had a baleful effect in his lifetime may well be changed for the better by his untimely demise.

Directed by award-winning professor Ron Rybkowski, “The Wake of Jamey Foster” features some returning faces to the Severns’ stage, while also providing a debut to some promising actors. Julie Amuedo and Catherine McMahan return as Collard Darnell and Katty Foster after performances in “Hamlet.” Graduate student Shanon Barton makes her debut as Marshael Foster on the main stage after success in several one-act productions and a stint at directing last spring in “The Bird on Nellie’s Hat.”  Nicholas Huber debuts on the Severns’ stage as Leon Darnell after playing Vladimir in “Waiting for Godot.” Similarly, Grant Jennings and Francis Kemper, as Wayne Foster and Brocker Slade, are appearing on the main stage following success in one acts and lab show productions. Freshman Becca Leslie makes her introduction to Truman theatre as Pixrose Wilson.

More information about “The Wake of Jamey Foster,” as well as future Theatre Department productions and other events happening in the School of Arts and Letters, can be found on the School of Arts and Letter’s Facebook page and the Theatre Department’s Facebook page.

The annual tradition of Family Day at Truman welcomes parents and family members to campus for a weekend of special events ranging from Bulldog sporting events to a barbecue on the Mall. Plan to spend some quality time with your student, create some lasting memories and have lots of fun.

Tamara Handy, a Truman alumna from Sri Lanka, joins the Fall MAE Leadership Series presentations with a discussion focusing on her background in special education.

Handy’s presentation, “Teacher Leaders as Cultural Workers: Transforming Inequitable Education Systems,” shares her trajectory of becoming a special education teacher and the complex nature of transforming school systems. Handy views teaching as cultural work, targeting inequitable learning practices in diverse educational settings. Her research focuses on students who are marginalized in public education due to minority ethnic status, socioeconomic status, gender and dis/ability.

The presentation takes place at 6 p.m. Sept. 28 in the Student Union Building Alumni Room. Refreshments will be provided. The Fall MAE Leadership Series is sponsored by the Department of Education.

Several Truman Greek organizations received awards from their national and regional conventions in 2016 for their positive impact on campus and within their nationals.

At their national convention this past summer, Sigma Kappa received the Frances Warren “Speed” Baker Award, given to the chapter that is most outstanding in their resorting to the Sigma Kappa Triangle. They received the Two Star Standards of Excellence-Second Level of Excellence—Sigma Kappa’s most prestigious award. This is presented to chapters who meet all of the Sigma Kappa minimum standards such as high performance in areas of membership, financial management, philanthropy, scholarship and campus involvement.
 
Sigma Phi Epsilon received the 2016 Excelsior Cup in Risk Management at their national Carlson Leadership Conference, which is awarded to a chapter that displays outstanding ability in “establishing a safe and healthy environment for brothers and friends of the fraternity.”

The choir has garnered international recognition for artistic merit.

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.
