A wide sampling of the publications of UC faculty in 2008 was
celebrated at the 23rd annual Authors, Editors & Composers
reception and program. Presented by the Libraries and their Friends group, the event was held April 23, in the Russell C. Myers Alumni Center.
Authors, Editors & Composers recognized 280 faculty who submitted 439 publications from 2008. Participating faculty represented 15 of UC’s colleges as well as the Division of Professional Practice, the Institute for Policy Research, Governmental Relations and University Communications, and the Libraries. Published works ranged from books and academic journals to music, photography, videos and poetry, and spanned five different languages – English, French, Spanish, German, and Romanian.
“Authors, Editors & Composers is our tribute to the research, scholarship, and creative pursuits of UC’s faculty,” said Victoria A. Montavon, Dean and University Librarian. The event also featured remarks from Anthony J. Perzigian, Senior Vice President for
Academic Affairs and Provost.
The published works covered a multitude of subjects – nutrition therapies for treating hypertension, teaching and writing in the digital age, political campaign communication, the demise of newspapers, social movements, the Vietnam War, music on Broadway, crime analysis, and school uniforms.
Displays at the reception also featured faculty photography, artwork, and productions on DVD.
