WHY MARQUETTE?

I appreciate the openness to new ideas that Marquette students display. When challenged to think out of the box, most students respond to the call. I really believe that students at Marquette value learning and that they are vitally interested in the important social dialogues occurring in contemporary society. I see my role as one of facilitating those interests further and guiding students to probe their world in a more critical and analytic fashion.

2007 Way Klingler Faculty Fellowship in the Humanities
Award Recipient

The humanities award will support investigation of the twelve most recent president's civil rights philosophies, rhetorical methods, achievements and legacy in civil rights.

"I am both thrilled and honored to be the recipient of this prestigious award. The generosity of this award enables me to conduct an ambitious study to develop an argument that breaks new ground in rhetorical and presidential studies."
