Connection Magazine Winter 2011 - 2012

FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT Dear fellow alumni and friends of Georgia College, s president of the Georgia College Alumni Association, I want to share the university’s successes during this academic year and discuss several important issues. First, below are Georgia College’s recent recognition:

A

• The best public university in Georgia in its class, and among the 12 best public universities in the South by U.S. News & World Report. Saluted in 2010 for “A Strong Commitment to Teaching” • One of America’s 100 “Best Educational Values” among public universities, according to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance in 2010 and 2011 • Among the “Best in the Southeast” for five consecutive years by the Princeton Review • Among America’s “100 Best College Buys” for the past seven years, according to a national higher education research institute • The President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for a second consecutive year, this year “with distinction” These achievements are wonderful, and add to the many awards and recognitions of Georgia College’s students, individual colleges, departments, faculty and staff.

This year your Alumni Association continues to expand its outreach to involve more alumni in more activities. Recently, we held alumni events in Atlanta, Augusta and Charlotte, and a young alumni event in Washington, D.C. The association is planning events across the country. Come out, get involved, connect with old friends and help support the university and today’s faculty and students.

I have the honor of representing alumni on the university’s Foundation Board of Trustees. This group is charged with finding ways to support Georgia College and its faculty and students both in the present and for its future success. To do this, the foundation has launched a $10.35 million

campaign to raise money for scholarships, endowed professorships and program support. I am proud to share we have already reached 90 percent of our goal, and we are working diligently to reach 100 percent.

Also, I have been asked to serve on the Presidential Search and Screening Committee for the Board of Regents as we seek a new president for Georgia College. This group and the consulting firm we have partnered with are committed to finding an outstanding president. I want to make sure alumni have a voice and the new president understands the importance of working with alumni to enhance the reputation of Georgia College. We look forward to finding that one person who will successfully lead the university with a vision and bring Georgia College even greater recognition.

Let me refer once more to the list of accolades mentioned and to the foundation campaign. Did you know one of the factors in the US News & World Report ranking is the percentage of alumni who make a donation to the university? The amount does not matter. It is the participation that counts. If you make even a small gift to support Georgia College, our faculty and students, the gift brings the campaign closer to achieving this goal, and helps raise the score and profile of Georgia College. I encourage you to make your gift today. You can give online at gcsu.edu/donate.

Finally, please save the date for February’s Homecoming celebration. Homecoming is a great opportunity to see all the changes and improvements on campus; renew old acquaintances; and make more great Georgia College memories. Check out the preview on page 37 with the initial lineup of dates and events, and make your plans now to come home.

Sandra Deal

Georgia’s First Lady joins Georgia College Foundation board The Georgia College Foundation Board of Trustees has elected officers for the 2011-12 academic year and voted in new members, including Georgia’s First Lady Sandra Deal, an alumna of the university.

The First Lady of Georgia followed her parents into a teaching career after earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education at Georgia College. Her platform as First Lady is “With a Servant’s Heart,” encouraging all Georgians to find ways to serve others.

Pete Robinson, chairman of Troutman Sanders Strategies, was elected chair of the Foundation board, and Genie Snyder Chamberlin, principal of Snyder Remarks, was elected vice chair. Richards Sims, owner of Pearl Lane Partners, LLC, becomes treasurer.

New board members include:

Traci Green Courville

Bill Jones

Maria Sheffield

• Traci Green Courville, a 1988 alumna of Georgia College and a partner in the Columbus law firm of Oates and Courville.

• William Bailey Jones Jr., who earned his MBA from Georgia College in 1986. Jones is city president of Magnolia State Bank in Milledgeville.

• Maria Sheffield, who earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from Georgia College in 1995 and a master’s in public administration in 1997. She is an attorney, focusing on insurance regulation and corporate matters.

The Georgia College Foundation was established in 1960 to receive, manage and administer private gifts in support of the university’s mission and priorities. The Foundation is a non-stock, nonprofit corporation governed by the board of trustees.

The Foundation provides an opportunity for alumni and friends to support scholarships, academic programs, student activities, campus buildings and campus enhancements.

Georgia College listed among 100 Best Buys Georgia College has been recognized as one of America’s “100 Best College Buys” for the seventh consecutive year.

Georgia College is one of only two universities in Georgia receiving the recognition for 2011-2012 by Institutional Research & Evaluation Inc., a nonprofit research and consulting company. Each year it identifies the 100 American colleges and universities “providing students the very highest quality education at the lowest price.”

The ranking is the fourth national honor Georgia College has received during fall 2011: • U.S. News and World Report recognized the university as one of the best public universities in the South — and the best in Georgia in its class.

• The Princeton Review named Georgia College “A Best in the Southeast” university in its annual survey of regional college and universities released in August.

• The Colleges of Distinction website again named Georgia College as the only public university in the state among its 200 national Colleges of Distinction.

Georgia College to dedicate new Peabody Garden The Formal Garden behind Parks Hall will be dedicated as the Peabody Garden on Friday, Feb. 11 as part of Alumni Weekend and Homecoming activities.

The name change and garden renovation replaces the former Peabody Garden lost with the sale of the Cathy Alumni Center on Hancock Street, a commitment made by former President Dorothy Leland at the time of the sale.

The Peabody Garden offers alumni a place to call their own, said Peabody alumna Cecile Parker, ’56.

“We miss our garden at the Cathy House and are delighted to know we have a place to keep the spirit of Peabody School alive,” said Parker, a member of the last Peabody graduating class. “We all had, and continue to have, a close fellowship and enjoy sharing our memories.”

The refurbishing of the garden, which also has been referred to as the President’s Garden, includes the commission of Georgia College’s first permanent public artwork, a sitespecific stainless steel sculpture titled Kernel by Marc Moulton to honor the former Peabody School and its alumnae.

Originating in fall 1934 under President Guy Wells (1934-1953), the garden was among his early efforts to improve the campus appearance by planting trees, flowers and evergreens.

Peabody School, established in 1891 on the university campus as a public school for Baldwin County students and a practice school for Georgia College education students, endured for more than a century.

Family establishes Herman Hall Scholarship Dr. Marcela Chiorescu provides guidance to Taylor Orgeron in the new math emporium.

Math emporium provides hands-on learning Georgia College professors have made math count for more than just a course requirement. Instructors introduced a pedagogy to help students understand and apply college algebra using the latest technology.

The Department of Mathematics collaborated with Information Technology and the Library and Instructional Technology Center to create a math emporium — Georgia College’s largest computer lab dedicated to math and personalized instruction.

Using the online math series MyMathLab, students navigate through course chapters that include videos, animations and tutorial exercises correlating with their textbooks.

The emporium includes an open area with computer stations and hanging display screens for group demonstrations.

Personal instruction seminar rooms also are available for studying or tutoring.

Georgia College math professors developed the emporium model to give students a hands-on approach and a better experience with mathematics as they begin their college career.

The family of Herman Hall, including three daughters who earned degrees at Georgia College, has established a scholarship in his name to benefit future Georgia College students with financial needs.

The $50,000 gift to the Georgia College Foundation for the Herman Hall Endowed Scholarship fund recognizes the Hall family’s lifelong Kim Martin commitment to the belief that higher education opens the door to opportunity.

Hall, who died in 2007, had worked at Central State Hospital. His widow, Jean Hall, and daughters Kim Martin, ’82; Karen Elizabeth Tyson, ’89; and Kristin Villarreal, ’90, decided to create the endowed scholarship in his honor. Martin is a member of the Georgia College Foundation Board of Trustees.

“We want to make sure a college degree is possible for students regardless of their family’s financial situation,” said Martin, president and general manager of WE tv in New York.

Each year earnings from the endowed fund will provide scholarships for eligible students.

The donation adds to the Foundation’s “Pillars for the Future: Campaign to Sustain Excellence” currently under way with a goal of $10.35 million. The campaign has raised more than 90 percent of that goal.

Mass Communications professor earns national teaching award

Ginger Carter Miller

Dr. Ginger Carter Miller’s commitment to connecting Georgia College public relations students to the community has been recognized by the national Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC).

Miller earned the annual teaching award in the organization’s public relations division, one of three awards given in that division.

“Any award in teaching means a lot,” said Miller, Georgia College professor of mass communication, “because we’re always looking for new ways of becoming cutting-edge educators for our students.”

Miller has built a tradition of involving public relations students in service-learning projects for the community.

Judith Keim, executive director of Oconee Prevention Resource Council, president of Life Enrichment Center, nominated Miller for the award.

“Dr. Miller’s priorities have enabled her students to work as interns and practicum students at dozens of local businesses and agencies,” Keim said.

Miller earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Georgia State University. She earned a master’s degree in speech communication with a concentration in public relations from Auburn University and a doctorate of philosophy with an emphasis in journalism history from University of Southern Mississippi.

Celebrating wellness and recreation Georgia College opened its new $28 million student Wellness and Recreation Center Oct. 24 on the university’s West Campus. The studentfunded center features an aquatic center with two pools, rock climbing, jogging track, fitness area, recreational sports courts and classroom and office areas.

“This amazing facility provides a state-of-the-art fitness and recreation center for our students, which not only demonstrates the university’s commitment to healthy lifestyles but also to ‘green’ construction as a LEED certified building,” said Interim President Stas Preczewski.

Registered students will enter the building by biometric finger scan, eliminating the need for ID cards. The aquatic center features an NCAA competitive-size pool that could allow Georgia College to compete against other universities. Basketball and volleyball courts offer space for additional intramural teams and competitions. More than 50 percent of Georgia College students participate in intramural sports.

Designed by Menefee Architects and Cannon Design, the center is LEED certified, using “green” principles — the first building at Georgia College to attain this ranking. Garbutt/Christman LLC began construction on the wellness center during August 2010. Garbutt/Christman has completed renovation and restoration projects on the Georgia College campus, including The Campus Theatre, Health Sciences Building, Parks Memorial Building, Bell Hall and the Old Governor’s Mansion.

Stargazing galaxies away Dr. Agnès Kim’s astronomical research has led to a rather cosmic discovery. It’s name: Kepler DBV. And Kim is the only expert on the globe to gather and analyze the conditions inside this star.

Like most white dwarfs, Kepler DBV is a faint, blue star the size of Earth in volume and so dense it is like compressing a trans-Atlantic cruise liner into the volume of a sugar cube.

But what makes this particular white dwarf unique is that it is hot. Its surface temperature is 29,000 kelvins — five times the temperature of the sun.

White dwarf research helps satisfy the natural curiosity humans have about the universe and whether other planets like Earth exist, said Kim, assistant professor in Georgia College’s Department of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy.

“Asteroseismology and white dwarf asteroseismology are paving the way for us to answer these questions,” Kim said.

“Because the research also involves a lot of computer setups, students gain valuable information technology skills that are needed in today’s industry.”

Kim’s findings will publish in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a short-notice, peer-reviewed research journal. Kim also anticipates the discovery will help rejuvenate the field of white dwarf asteroseismology.

Chemistry students earn national research award Four Georgia College undergraduate students excelled among graduate and post-doctoral students during the 242nd National Meeting of American Chemical Society 2011 in Denver, Colo.

Chemistry majors Amber Pentecost, Chelsey Williams, Allison Barfield and Ashley Collins earned a Certificate of Merit from the Division of Environmental Chemistry for two research projects addressing water quality — the second time a Certificate of Merit has been awarded to Georgia College undergraduates since 2006.

The award is given for outstanding content material and outstanding manner of presentation. The students gave two research presentations: “H2Oconee and Beyond: What’s In Your Water Supply?” and “Nutrient Levels and GC/MS Analysis of Water from Kenya, Africa.”

Dr. Catrena H. Lisse, associate professor of chemistry at Georgia College, started the water quality research group 10 years ago with five undergraduate chemistry majors.

The American Chemical Society is the world’s largest scientific society. More than 8,000 scientists attended the Denver meeting, and more than 5,000 presentations were given.

Dr. Agnès Kim views a university planetarium scene.

Mass Communication students place in international competition Two Georgia College Mass Communication teams placed in the top 10 percent of competitors in the 2011 Google Online Marketing Challenge. A third Georgia College team placed in the top 50 percentile.

More than 4,000 graduate and undergraduate teams from across the globe competed in the online completion. Georgia College teams competed in the challenge as part of the advertising campaigns class in the Department of Mass Communication.

Each team selected a local business and received $200 of free online advertising with Google AdWords to work with their local business to develop and manage an online marketing campaign.

UP FRONT Entrepreneurs operate profitable herb business Georgia College Entrepreneurship Learning Community teaches students the ropes of growing a product and owning, financing and branding a small business.

Led by faculty adviser Dr. Renée J. Fontenot, students sell fresh, dried and ground herbs at Milledgeville City Market.

Georgia College Entrepreneurship Learning Community members Cody Ivey and Tyler Opraseuth sell herbs during Milledgeville Farmers' Market.

“We’re literally a hands-on organization,” said Fontenot, associate professor of marketing in Georgia College’s J. Whitney Bunting College of Business. “From the time the herbs are planted to our presentation at the market, our club stays involved with the creation of our products.”

Fontenot and her students grow eight herbs in her backyard: Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Catnip, Mint, Oregano, Basil and Chives. Under the brand “SupHerb,” students sell the herbs for $3 per bag at the farmers’ market.

Established in 2006 the learning community teaches business concepts and benefits and risks of new enterprises. Students use their profits to invest into other entrepreneurs globally.

GC Entrepreneurship LC lends its profits to entrepreneurs on Kiva.org. The non-profit organization connects struggling business owners across the globe with lenders to help alleviate poverty. Kiva permits lenders to invest as little as $25 to help create a business opportunity.

Earning a business minor The J. Whitney Bunting College of Business at Georgia College has created a new program for students to earn a business administration minor along with their baccalaureate in the arts and sciences.

The business minor allows students to build the skills to take their passions to an organizational environment — a corporation, public service or a startup business of their own.

Administered through the Economics and Finance Department, the college restructured its existing general business minor into a business administration minor, changing several of the required classes: • Accounting principles I — to understand financial reports • Personal Finance — to manage money for oneself or for any budget • Legal Environment of Business — to understand the social contract that businesses operate within • Principles of Management — to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to lead a group of people • Principles of Marketing — to develop knowledge and skills necessary to meet people’s needs through a commercial enterprise

“A BIG PART OF THIS COURSE IS THE HISTORY OF THE BOOK,” said Riley, a Georgia College professor of English in the Department of English and Rhetoric. “I’ve shown students my printing press machines in the past. Now they see how they work.”

Riley’s appreciation for books goes deeper than the text. He prints, binds and restores books the old-fashioned way — by hand.

He painstakingly lines the metal type into rows to form words. Those words become pages bound together into a custom-made book.

Today Riley translates his appreciation for books to the next generation by teaching them the art of bookmaking.

During a recent classroom lecture in his at-home print shop, Riley detailed the intricate stages involved in bookmaking.

“I’ve gained an appreciation for how the bookmaking process works,” said Michelle Stinson, ’11, who completed her bachelor’s degree in English.

“However, I also gained a much greater appreciation for modern technology because Dr. Riley has shown me that designing a book requires a lot of patience and dedication.”

A chapter in The Book Collector's Guide to L. Frank Baum features Riley’s work.

During his “methods of research” course, Riley shows graduate students how his 40-year-old Kelsey press operates.

we can be. When a character does something incredible in a book, it’s like permission for us to make our dreams reality.”

During the summer Riley published his second book, A Bookbinder’s Analysis of the First Edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, to encourage book binders to pay more attention to accurate restoration techniques.

The book became a companion volume to author Peter E. Hanff ’s publication, Cyclone on the Prairies: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Arts and Crafts in Publishing in Chicago, 1900.

“Almost any first edition copy of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, will need some work,” said Riley. “So much bad work has been done on this edition I’ve started analyzing it from a book binder perspective. I want to address the problems with it and highlight things you need to look at to restore the book in a more authentic manner.”

The Road Recently, the professor reprinted a Baum poem, Blow, Winds, Blow! and book, The Runaway Shadows.

Throughout the years Riley has rebound more than 50 leather books and hundreds of hardback books. During his graduate school years, he created his own private press, The Pamami Press, where he printed stories and poems.

“It’s a tedious process just to set a page of type, lining up every tiny letter to print just one page,” said Riley. “When you talk about restoring a book, you’re looking at even more hours of labor.

No one is going to spend that amount of time on a book unless the text really means something to them.”

After a 25-year hiatus Riley restored his personal printing press and his love for book printing and binding that he now shares with his students.

Cranking up his floor-standing 1890s press, Riley resurrected his passion and has taught his research students the age-old process to preserve the sanctity of the medium for future book lovers.

The Wizard One text dear to Riley’s heart is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,

by L. Frank Baum. Riley has spent the majority of his life reading and analyzing the first edition collection of the Oz books and reprinting other short stories by Baum.

“It’s my favorite childhood story,” said Riley who earned a bachelor’s degree in history at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta.

“When I was a teen, I found out Baum too owned and operated a printing press in his teen years. And if I get interested in something, I’m going to investigate it, which is how I got into printing and eventually book binding to keep my books in shape.”

During 1997 Riley wrote his own Baum book, Oz and Beyond: The Fantasy World of L. Frank Baum, that analyzed Baum’s imaginative process to create fantasy worlds.

“Children’s literature is powerful,” said Riley. “Like the Oz books did for me, children’s literature gives us a great sense of what

Riley took professional leave from teaching during spring semester 2011 to prepare his home-based print shop for students’ lessons during fall semester.

He cleaned the print shop and organized hundreds of movable type in his type cases. He ran tests on the large cast iron, 121-year-old Challenge-Gordon press and the smaller 40-year-old Kelsey press.

“To get back into the swing of things I reprinted a cover for a Baum book I printed years ago called The Runaway Shadows, a short story never published by itself or in an edition in Baum’s lifetime,” he said.

Riley also reprinted a Baum poem, Blow, Winds, Blow! which has not been reprinted since 1890. He printed the poem as a keepsake for participants attending The Winkie Convention 2011 in Pacific Grove, Calif.

“The convention celebrates all things Baum, so it was nice to attend and share another one of his works that has not been reprinted until now,” said Riley.

Despite the emergence of new technology, Riley foresees a rich future for classic books like the Baum collection.

“Books are still important, especially if you have a personal attachment to a piece of literature,” the children literature scholar said. “However, it’s also really great to have technology like the iPad, Kindle and Internet at your fingertips.”

Riley’s graduate and doctorate degrees in 19th-century literature, music and culture from The Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts at Emory University tied directly into his love of books.

“I studied 19th-century European and American romanticism. During that time some of the great children’s books were published — Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Little Women and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. These books still shape the imagination and perceptions of our children today,” he said. “My printing press and book binding skills are extensions of these books’ influences.” ■

COVER STORY

ALGAE, PERCEIVED BY MANY AS A SLIMY NUISANCE, PLAY INCREASING roles in our lives. When Georgia College scientist Dr. Kalina Manoylov talks about algae, the tiny organisms become a big deal. She collects them locally, nationally and internationally. She analyzes, categorizes and stores them at the Georgia College Natural History Museum for future student research.

“Algae are definitely hot right now,” said Manoylov, assistant professor of biology in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences. “Well-known international corporations such as Exxon Mobil are interested in algae-based biofuels while suppliers like Martek Biosciences grow algae for nutritional supplements.”

In particular, Manoylov studies how algae impact aquatic communities and shares her knowledge with students to teach its global significance. People seldom realize the everyday uses for some algae species: ingredient in toothpaste and fertilizers; contributor to vegetable fats and oils; alternative to dye and coloring; and stabilizer in milk products.

Algae All Stars Biology professor’s lessons shape future environmentalists

By Candace Morrow

ABOUT THE PROFESSOR

Dr. Kalina Manoylov earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in ecology and environmental sciences at University of Sofia in Bulgaria. She earned a doctorate in zoology and ecology, evolutionary biology and behavior from Michigan State University. She is a Phi Kappa Phi member and Georgia College “Excellence in Research/ Publication” award winner.

“Algae are so diverse,” Manoylov said. “We’re still discovering some that might have risen millions of years ago. We also analyze their amazingly different shapes and forms and extract ideas for architectural designs.”

Undergraduate Impact On a mission to preserve local aquatic environments, Manoylov and her ecology and phycology students collect and examine algae at sites such as author Flannery O’Connor’s farm home, Andalusia; Lake Sinclair; Oconee River Greenway; and the Savannah River Estuary.

Undergraduate students also receive opportunities to engage in field research with Manoylov. Senior Michele Weilbacher conducts research alongside the algae expert during sampling projects at local waterways.

“Not only am I learning how to sample algae in natural habitats, but I’m learning from my professor and graduate students all the time,” said Weilbacher.

The biology student already has authored and co-authored research papers about diatom morphometrics and survival in freshwater environments. Recently, Weilbacher traveled with Manoylov and graduate students, Rob Moseley, ’10, and Joseph Dominy, ’10, to Glacier National Park in Montana to observe algae from high altitude habitats.

She also presented her research at the North American Diatom Symposium in the Rocky Mountains.

“Glacier National Park was a fascinating experience with algae,” she said. “I got to see algae in a unique environment — on wet walls and in glacier pools and snow. We even saw billion-years-old stromatolites. The trip was a rare opportunity to compare algae presence in those environments to Georgia habitats.”

Graduate Impact Various state and national agencies from Georgia, Tennessee, Indiana and Florida also send algae to Manoylov’s lab. She classifies and examines whether the organisms pose a threat to these states’ water systems.

Joseph Dominy, '10, and Michele Weilbacher examine algae samples.

“What my students and I find now helps predict the future,” said Manoylov. “We never get bored because one sample can have up to 150 different species to explore.”

Dominy, a first-year graduate student, has spent much of his time learning about algae in Manoylov’s research lab and exploring the organisms in the field.

As an undergraduate student he developed an original idea to survey primary algae producers from ponds recovering from kaolin mining. His work with algae evolved into a successful capstone project and a manuscript currently in review for publication. His recent graduate research focuses on algal biodiversity and the ecological role of coastal mud communities from the Savannah River.

“I’m seeing tremendous diversity in my littoral samples from the Georgia coast,” said Dominy, who is earning his master’s degree in biology. “A lot of areas today are disrupted by human impact, so by studying algae in aquatic communities, I can actually assess the overall ecological conditions of the area.”

This summer Dominy’s entire community assessment with algae from Southeastern rivers and lakes received international recognition at the 1st International Conference, “The Molecular Life of Diatoms,” held at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. The conference’s competitive peer committee selected his paper for participation in the annual symposium.

“Algae are really important for ecosystem development, so it was an honor to know my research has significant value,” said Dominy.

Like Weilbacher, Dominy and Moseley presented their findings at the diatom symposium, and each student won travel awards for those findings. After working with Manoylov since his undergraduate studies, Dominy hopes to advance his algal research by either enrolling into a doctoral program or working with a government agency.

determine water quality and toxicity.

“Our communities need to know whether our water systems are good for either drinking or swimming,” she said.

“Our testing is important because algae can become invasive and toxic in response to high nutrient inputs from human activities.”

Recently, Manoylov was invited to the National Institutes of Health’s algae and cancer workshop at Michigan State University. During the workshop with oncology specialists, she discussed her findings that show algae can help reduce drug resistance in cancer cells.

“The research concerning cancer should become attractive to the predominantly pre-med biology majors in our department and will help students start thinking about algae from a human health perspective,” Manoylov said.

Algae are a tool valued for local, regional and global changes in the environment, she said.

“It is also valuable for our students to receive national and international research experiences presenting their findings,” said Manoylov. “These experiences will help strengthen their knowledge about these incredible organisms.” ■

Three Georgia College alumni take the biology and algae lessons they learned studying with Dr. Kalina Manoylov to protect and preserve the waterways and environments across the country.

Jeffrey Brittain, ’11

Marká Smith, ’08, ’10

Rob Moseley, ’10

Alumnus Jeffrey Brittain appreciates the beauty of nature — rich greenery and freshwater tributaries.

He moved from Griffin, Ga., to Milledgeville for this very reason.

“While researching undergraduate schools to attend, Georgia College’s campus stood out,” said Brittain. “The setting is beautiful and a perfect place to explore the outdoors.”

The environmental science alumnus got his introduction to the field of aquatic ecology during undergraduate research with algae expert Dr. Kalina Manoylov.

“Dr. Manoylov gave me a deep appreciation for environmental science,” Brittain said. “She taught me to pay attention to details that others may not see or know to look for while conducting research.”

Whether studying algae, crayfish or water quality in aquatic settings, Manoylov encourages students to look at every possible angle during analysis, said Brittain. After graduation, Brittain received an opportunity to put Manoylov’s advice into practice by working with the Missouri Department of Conservation to investigate water quality.

During a statewide study, Brittain and his team conducted extensive research to determine where crayfish are thriving throughout the Ozarks’ various creeks. The findings from the study would help educate the public about water issues since the organisms are biological indicators.

“The research required a lot of repetition for gathering data,” he said. “I was prepared for the job. My capstone project taught me persistence, dedication and the appropriate methodology to get the right results.”

Currently, Brittain prepares for graduate school, intending to pursue either a Master of Arts in Teaching to teach high school science or a Master of Environmental Assessment to become an environmental analyst.

“Any way I can aid in the sustainability or restoration of our waterways — whether in the classroom or in the field — I’m for it,” Brittain said. “I hope to continue spreading awareness about the importance and fun opportunities environmental science can bring.”

Phycologist Marká Smith’s research helps protect Tennessee’s waterways, ensuring the welfare of thousands of species of wildlife and fish.

The Georgia College graduate collects and analyzes algae growing in streams, ponds and rivers to determine the water quality.

“I’m ecstatic to work in my chosen field. I love everything about it,” said Smith. “It’s something different every day.”

Smith serves as state phycologist/aquatic biologist, biologist 2 for the Tennessee Department of Health in Nashville, Tenn. He gathers samples in the field, analyzes them in his lab and makes reference collections. He looks for contaminants and measures the levels and types of algae.

One day he examines snapping turtle shells for mercury and heavy metal deposits, and the next day he counts parasites, algae and bugs.

The Norcross, Ga., native began honing his field techniques, lab procedures and scientific writing skills as an undergraduate biology major at Georgia College. As a graduate student Smith perfected those skills and gained invaluable field experience under the guidance of Dr. Kalina Manoylov.

“Dr. Manoylov taught me the importance of algae in the world today and all its applications,” said Smith. “She instilled in me a work ethic that will pave my career: ’Work hard, don’t give up.

If you don’t make your deadlines, you don’t get paid.’”

Smith’s father, Ed Smith of Warner Robins, Ga., who earned a business degree at Georgia College during 1977, guided his son to the university. Smith’s curiosity pointed him toward biology. And Manoylov’s love of algae determined his specialty.

“Dr. Manoylov has such a passion for what she does,” Smith said, “I could not help but to be excited about aquatic ecology and algae too.”

With a master’s degree in biology and field experience in algae in hand, Smith began his job search.

“In a bad economy I had four job offers,” Smith said. “I’m doing what I went to school for and practicing in the field that I studied, which is important to me.”

Georgia College graduate assistant Rob Moseley loves water — rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands and ponds — and what grows in it. As a youngster growing up in Snellville, Ga., the Yellow River served as his backyard playground.

“I was always in the water,” said Moseley. “I kayaked the river and played in the swamp.”

Moseley is building his education and career around his love of water. The abundance of waterways surrounding Georgia College influenced his choice for his undergraduate and graduate degrees.

“We’ve got rivers and lakes and streams right here for research and recreation,” Moseley said.

“The area is a water-filled, fairly natural paradise.”

He plans to pursue a doctorate in biology and teach the next generation to protect waterways.

“I want to teach biology and environmental science on the collegiate level,” he said. “It’s great I can build my life around something that makes me so happy.”

Moseley’s head start along his career path in aquatic ecology began in Dr. Kalina Manoylov’s undergraduate phycology class. Teacher and student worked side-by-side on a water quality project at Flannery O’Connor’s family farm, Andalusia.

“She really loves what she does, and that’s contagious. That’s what I want,” Moseley said.

“She has influenced me in making my educational and career decisions.”

Today, Moseley dons rubber waders and analyzes samples in Andalusia’s pond, wetlands and stream, continuing his undergraduate work.

Moseley’s yearlong fieldwork will determine whether Andalusia’s water is “pristine.”

That determination will allow environmentalist to compare that water to others in Middle Georgia to gauge the quality.

As a graduate assistant, Moseley juggles classwork, research, field experience and teaching undergraduate environmental classes — positioning him for his chosen career.

“I like helping people, and I want to help protect our waterways,” said Moseley.

“What better way to blend my love for water with a career that allows me to keep my hands in it.” ■

PROGRAMS OF DISTINCTION

Education Cohort Model Future teachers at Georgia College learn the importance of learning

By Candace Morrow

Dr. Kevin Crabb and Julia Allen, ’11, teach Georgia College Early College students to design and paint topographical maps.

Georgia College Connection • Winter 2011-2012

ALUMNAE JULIA ALLEN AND ANNE Humphrys are mastering art and the art of teaching. The graduates and future art educators work together in Georgia College classrooms and in public schools to develop engaging art projects and lessons for youth.

“The Master of Arts in Teaching program has introduced me to an array of cultures and art ideas to explore with students,” said Allen, ’11. “Instead of observing, I’m teaching and learning with my professors and colleagues who provide constant support.”

Both students are developing their art and teaching skills under the John H. Lounsbury College of Education cohort model. The model prepares undergraduate and graduate students for career opportunities as motivated and certified educators.

“We shepherd students through the program,” said Dr. Karynne Kleine, professor of middle grades education and cohort mentor leader for undergraduate students. “We give each student individual attention, provide group support and form a tightknit learning community. Our program focuses on learning about one’s self, group, community and world in order to become better teachers and advocates for young people.”

The education cohort model is one of six Georgia College Programs of Distinction — providing a distinctive niche in an academic area of state, national and international significance. Since 1889, Georgia College has prepared students for careers in teaching.

Approximately 10 years ago, the education cohort model expanded on the College of Education’s mission of preparing teachers who can learn together to deconstruct and reconstruct classroom practices. The cohort model creates intimate groups of students who can work on assignments, share experiences and brainstorm ideas together.

“The model allows for a smooth transition into the program and going from each course because you’re learning with the same classmates,” said Humphrys, ’10. “We all come into the program together, cheer each other on and grow while working toward a common goal.”

During 2008 the College of Education was honored with the national Wisniewski Award, given to institutions as an exemplary model of theory and practice in teacher education. The education cohort model was a significant contributor to this award.

“Because of this model our graduates are highly effective classroom teachers, ’teachers of the year’ in school systems across the state,” said Dr. Kevin Crabb, program coordinator, faculty adviser and assistant professor of secondary education.

Undergraduate Cohorts Approximately 20 juniors and seniors take in-depth teacher preparation courses and gain more than 1,200 hours of field experience.

Students also receive opportunities to hold leadership roles in student chapters of professional education organizations such as the National Middle School Association, National Education Association and Georgia Association of Educators.

“This model allows students to participate in research and even present their work at state and national conferences,” said Kleine, “building their confidence and connecting them with education professionals.”

Students also participate in servicelearning projects to broaden their classroom knowledge. From coordinating safety fairs at middle schools to giving computer lessons at nursing homes, students develop creative ways to help educate and inspire the community.

“Our students are in high demand because of their knowledge and skill set,” Kleine said. “Our program is unique because students are solving real-world problems in education. Students see their roles as more than a nine-to-five job.”

The undergraduate program includes four early childhood cohorts (two junior and two senior groups); four special education cohorts (two junior and two senior groups); and three middle grades cohorts (one junior and two senior groups).

Graduate Cohorts The College of Education also offers cohorts in MAT for both secondary education and middle grades education science and mathematics.

“The discoveries MAT students make about themselves as learners and the learning process is amazing,” said Crabb.

“This process opens up opportunities for them to reach and motivate all types of learners in the classroom.”

The program challenges students with intense coursework and extensive field experience at local private and public schools.

“Our students are able to balance the realities of actual classrooms with their MAT coursework, which leads to a better understanding of how theory translates into practice,” Crabb said.

The MAT program includes five cohorts — three one-year cohorts on the university’s main campus in Milledgeville and a one-year and two-year cohort in Macon at the university’s Macon Center for Graduate and Professional Learning.

This year the MAT secondary education program has strengthened by aligning its courses, assessments, shared resources and expertise at both its Milledgeville and Macon locations.

Dr. Betta Borrelli serves as a mentor leader and assistant professor of the twoyear education cohort at the Macon Center, which provides students with flexibility to attend school part time and full time.

“We help them gain valuable experience in local middle and high schools, and develop professional relationships with area teachers to understand the dynamics of private and public school systems,” said Borrelli.

The program is also looking into offering online courses to accommodate students working full time.

“We will continue to provide students with a program that prepares them for firstyear teaching with confidence and skills to succeed,” Crabb said, “We will also continue to look critically at course outcomes to ensure students are being challenged, leaving the program with knowledge, skill and dispositions principals are looking for in educators.” ■

HISTORY&HERITAGE

Atkinson Hall

By Judy Bailey

ATKINSON HALL SERVED AS A TEMPORARY HOME FOR thousands of Georgia Normal & Industrial College and Georgia State College for Women students. In its day was the most popular dormitory on campus.

Constructed in 1896 Atkinson Hall is the oldest, most stately building on campus. The four-story structure is named for William Y. Atkinson and his wife, Susan Cobb Milton Atkinson.

While serving in the state legislature, William Y. Atkinson of Coweta County introduced the bill that created Georgia Normal & Industrial College in 1889. His wife was sensitized to the plight of undereducated women in Georgia by her journalist friend, Julia Flisch.

Built on “Penitentiary Square,” the site of the former Georgia State Penitentiary (1818-1879).

Georgia General Assembly designated $50,000 for the construction of Atkinson Hall, designed to accommodate 135 women with teachers’ apartments and space for a dining hall.

The new residence hall provided enough housing so students were no longer forced to live in area homes. With its completion all college buildings were lighted with electricity — lamps and candles were forbidden.

President J. Luther Beeson authorized an “extensive remodel” of Atkinson Hall between 1927 and 1933 during the construction of Parks Memorial Hospital, Bell Hall and the Ina Dillard Russell Library.

Following an outbreak of illness among students in 1944 from contaminated food prepared in the dining hall, the university system funded new kitchen facilities in Atkinson.

During the 1950s under President Henry King Sanford, Atkinson Hall was abandoned as a residence hall because of its deterioration. Facing the front lawn Atkinson became the campus eyesore.

Atkinson was listed on the National Register of Historic Places but became an embarrassment to the college. The building stood vacant for 25 years; its basement used for storage.

More than one president suggested to the Board of Regents and the chancellor that Atkinson should be razed. But alumni and local residents objected to tearing Atkinson down. Alumni, faculty and students launched a “Save Atkinson” campaign in 1977.

A year later the Board of Regents authorized $3.5 million to remodel Atkinson into classroom and office space for the college’s new School of Business. The architectural design preserved the exterior appearance and maintained the classic look of the college’s front facade.

The expenditure was the largest capital outlay in the college’s history — a sense that the renovation of the oldest college building symbolized a new beginning.

Construction workers gutted every inch of the interior, carefully crafted elaborate moldings and replaced rotten wooden columns with 32 new fiberglass ones.

The new, air-conditioned Atkinson Hall was dedicated in October 1982. Today, Atkinson Hall is home to the J. Whitney Bunting College of Business. ■

The Georgia College women’s basketball program and head coach Maurice Smith plan to defend their title during 2011-2012 as Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Tournament champions.

“We come into this season as a young team,” said Smith. “Our freshmen competed against the best of the best in high school, which we hope will suit them well for the collegiate level.”

The Bobcats return two players from the 2010-11 championship squad and add a whopping 11 newcomers. Myeshia Simms is a senior transfer from Division I Florida A&M University. She averaged 3.9 points per game and led the team with 109 assists in 2010-11.

This year the only two returning Bobcats are the only two sophomores on the team. Krysta Lewis of Woodstock, Ga., played a big part in the PBC tournament run. She scored 29 points on 12-of-22 shooting while grabbing 19 rebounds in the three-game stretch.

Abby Slocumb of Suwanee, Ga., averaged 4.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. She also recorded 19 blocks and 22 assists. Slocumb started and played in 28 games as a freshman. A defensive specialist, Slocumb held PBC “Player of the Year” Shannon McKever of then No. 2 Lander University to just 13 points on only eight shots in the PBC’s semifinal round. The Bobcats introduce nine freshmen to the squad this season highlighted by Terryuana Godwin, Shanteona Keys and Jasmine Williams. The coaching staff has high expectations for all nine freshmen and believes each will make a tremendous contribution to the team.

Men’s Basketball Georgia College men’s basketball returns for its 19th season under the leadership of head coach Terry Sellers. The four-time Peach Belt Conference (PBC) “Coach of the Year” has plenty of talent to make another run during 2011-12.

The team’s leading scorer from a year ago, Jared Holmes, is back for his senior campaign. The Indianapolis native will have to add his team-high 13.5 points per game to make up for the loss of All-PBC big man Reece Wiedeman to graduation.

Joining Holmes are two more impact seniors in forwards Ryan Aquino of Roswell, Ga., and Mike Augustine of Waterloo, Ill. Aquino is coming off a career year in both points averaged (10.5) and rebounds (8.0). Augustine chipped in nicely off the pine, putting in nearly six points per match. Perhaps the largest impact on this year’s squad will come from four key junior college transfers. Quin Bivins of Macon, Ga., Scott Ferguson of Roswell, Ga., and Lance Uwaifo of Snellville, Ga., make their way to Milledgeville via Atlanta Metropolitan College.

Joining the trio is Waycross College transfer Tarrence Chatman of Macon, Ga. Bivins will look to add to an already impressive one-two punch of Holmes and Aquino. Named “Georgia Junior College Player of the Year” a season ago, Bivins also garnered Second Team All-American honors in a stellar season. The Bobcats went 16-10 last year and 10-7 in the PBC, narrowly missing the conference tournament semifinals. The Bobcats tipped off the season at Mercer University in Macon for the “Coaches vs. Cancer Classic” Thursday, Nov. 3. ■

Where are they now?

By Al Weston

John John Steensland

John John Steensland, ’00, spent all four years of his student-athlete career as point guard for Georgia College men’s basketball team. The Dothan, Ala., native tallied 309 career assists — good for second in the NCAA era of GC basketball.

During his undergraduate studies, the Bobcats also won three Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Regular-Season Championships and two PBC Tournament titles.

During the 1999-2000 season, Steensland held the starting point guard position for arguably the best team in Georgia College’s history. Bobcat basketball won the NCAA South Region Championship and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the only time.

Since graduating, Steensland has transitioned from the basketball court to the court of law. He earned his juris doctor degree from University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and now works as a private practitioner in New Orleans. The star athlete and lawyer recently talked about his Georgia College experience and how it prepared him for his current incourt position: Connection: What are you doing nowadays? Are you still active in basketball?

John John Steensland: I recently moved to New Orleans with my wife, Kelsey, and 1year-old daughter, Avery. My wife is a doctor and completing her residency training, and I’m busy as a licensed attorney, focusing primarily on criminal defense. As far as basketball goes, I still play occasionally. I just started participating in a local basketball league.

Connection: How did playing basketball for Georgia College prepare you after your undergraduate studies?

JJS: Georgia College helped me become a well-rounded individual. I developed and maintained close friendships with people on and off the court. Along with my teammates, I also learned how to set goals and put in the work necessary to achieve them each season. Coach Terry Sellers was

SPORTS

Bobcat Alumni:

well known for working us pretty hard, which helped me get to where I am today.

Connection: What do you miss the most about being on the Georgia College team and campus?

JJS: I miss the relationships you develop with your teammates. You spend so much time together and experience so many significant successes and failures that it is inevitable you will become close and develop a special bond. However, I was fortunate enough to play with guys who were not only good players but also good individuals. I keep in touch with them regularly.

I always enjoyed the fact that the small size of Georgia College’s student body allowed me to know a large group of students as opposed to a large university where you may not see anyone you know as you head to class.

Connection: What was the most valuable lesson you took away from your Georgia College experience as a student-athlete?

JJS: Even though I was part of some successful teams, I learned how not to become complacent and to work hard to get better. Coach Sellers’ competitive nature did not allow him to become satisfied with just doing enough to get by, and that translated into how he challenged us on a daily basis.

Connection: What was your most memorable basketball moment at Georgia College?

JJS: I was fortunate enough to become part of teams with many successful moments.

However, the most memorable was our victory playing Columbus State in the 2000 NCAA Regional Final. Columbus played as good as anybody in the country at that time in the season and jumped out to a lead of almost 20 points during the first half. Our team stuck together and rallied in the second half to win the game and reach the Elite Eight. I did not have time to think about it after it happened, but looking back, I am still amazed we were able to make a comeback. ■

Nitin Shah

Inspiring business students to achieve the impossible

By Candace Morrow

Nitin Shah

“One of the biggest challenges in business is to find allies — people who support, believe in and fund your ideas.”

42

Georgia College Connection • Winter 2011-2012

ALUMNUS NITIN SHAH IS IN THE BUSINESS OF making dreams reality for himself, his employees and customers.

The successful hotelier and banker knows what it takes to build a business — knowledge he honed while attending Georgia College.

“Georgia College was one of the best experiences for my career,” said Shah, ’91, who graduated from the university’s Master of Business Administration program. “As part of the program, we learned how to analyze real-world companies for their strengths and weaknesses. Then, we recommended ideas for growth and profitability, and that’s a process I still follow in my businesses today.”

Shah is president of Imperial Investments Group Inc., an Atlanta-based hospitality company that includes 15 hotels and various commercial real estate projects. Shah founded the company in 1984, and now its assets approach $100 million.

He is also chairman and CEO of Embassy National Bank, another Atlanta-based business. The community bank is a leading lender to small businesses in the Southeastern United States and has grown to $70 million in assets since startup in 2007.

Recently, Shah assumed a new leadership position at Georgia College, serving as a member of the J. Whitney Bunting College of Business advisory board.

“After earning my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Bombay in India, I came to the United States in 1978 with $7 in my pocket,” Shah said. “My success is a testament that you can achieve the impossible. I look forward to sharing my life lessons with Georgia College business students.”

Shah encountered tough times in the nuclear engineering field during the years after the 1979 reactor accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, so he focused on an entirely different industry — hospitality. He bought his first hotel, a Days Inn, in Milledgeville in 1984 and operated it until 1997.

“I had taken some business courses at Drexel University while living in the Northeast,” said Shah.

“But as I started my hotel career in Georgia, I committed to earning my MBA degree at Georgia College.”

Site visits and case histories at local companies were an especially helpful part of the MBA program’s curriculum, said Shah.

“I learned how to analyze current conditions, plan for the future and sustain a business,” he said.

This visionary thinking enabled Shah to grow his company and stand among the founders of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA), which was established in 1989. Today, AAHOA is one of the most respected and influential groups in the hotel industry with more than 10,000 members.

Together, members own more than 20,000 hotels that

have a market value of almost $130 billion.

“One of the biggest challenges in business is to find allies — people who support, believe in and fund your ideas,” said Shah. “Certainly there are opportunities for government to help businesses, but there also needs to be private loan sources, especially in today’s economic climate. That’s why Embassy National Bank is all about helping small businesses.”

Looking ahead, one of Shah’s priorities is helping Georgia College business students fully understand the opportunities available to them after completing their degrees.

“My new advisory board responsibilities are a special honor and a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with the dean, faculty and students,” said Shah. “I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for putting ideas into action, making things happen.” ■

DONOR PROFILE

Chandler Family Memorial Scholarship to inspire students

By Harry Battson

Barbara Anne Chandler, Elizabeth Chandler Minter, Dovie Chandler Wingard and Chandler Minter Tagliabue pose in front of the Old Governor's Mansion at Georgia College during a 1994 campus tour.

A STAR IN ATLANTA COMMERCIALS, A World War II U.S. Navy WAVE and the wife of a former National Football League commissioner are among the Georgia College multigenerational graduates who have established the Chandler Family Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Mrs. Chandler Minter Tagliabue, ’64, has pledged an additional $100,000 donation to the endowed scholarship fund already established by her family members long associated with Georgia College.

“I hope our family scholarship provides inspiration for future students,” said Tagliabue, “not only to make the most of their years on campus but also to leave college with a commitment to lifelong learning and productive activity, just as all of us have done.”

The family scholarship was established in

44

Georgia College Connection • Winter 2011-2012

1983 when the three Chandler sisters — Barbara, ’34, Elizabeth, ’38, and Dovie, ’41 — created a scholarship in honor of their mother, Bessie Moran Chandler, on her 90th birthday and their late father, Charles Nathaniel Chandler, who operated Chandler’s Variety Store in Milledgeville. The Chandler Memorial Scholarship recognized the support of their parents while the siblings attended Georgia College in the 1930s and ’40s.

In 1999, the unexpected death of one of the sisters, Elizabeth Minter, prompted her three children to establish a scholarship in her memory, the Elizabeth Chandler Minter Memorial Scholarship. Recently, the family combined the funds from the two scholarships into the Chandler Family Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship helps students in the four alumnae’s areas of interest.

The fund supports: • A Georgia Military College student who transfers to Georgia College. This scholarship is in honor of Barbara, who joined the U.S. Navy Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) — World War II-era division of the Navy comprised entirely of women — during the outset of the war. She remained in the reserves and reached the rank of lieutenant commander.

• Study abroad for a deserving student who otherwise would not be able to gain an initial international experience.

This scholarship is in honor of Elizabeth, who maintained a lifelong interest in international affairs and enjoyed getting to know international students at Georgia College.

• A scholarship in the performing arts, especially dramatic arts. This scholarship is in honor of Dovie, who currently stars in print and TV commercials.

• A scholarship in the sciences, preferably biology or life science. This scholarship is in honor of Tagliabue, who initially pursued science studies during her time at Georgia State College for Women, now Georgia College. ■

Family Ties {

ALTHOUGH SISTERS, THE THREE CHANDLER DAUGHTERS — and second-generation Georgia College graduate Chandler Minter Tagliabue — each had different experiences and interests while attending what was then an all-women’s college.

Chandler Minter Tagliabue, ’64

Tagliabue enjoyed connecting with the university’s most famous alumna, Flannery O’Connor, during the early 1960s.

“As president of the literary club, I corresponded with Flannery O’Connor to set a date for the annual spring picnic she hosted for the club on Andalusia’s front lawn,” Tagliabue said. “I still have the brief note she wrote on her personalized stationery confirming the date.”

She also introduced O’Connor when the author spoke at an assembly in Russell Auditorium.

“Those were memorable experiences, made even more so today by her esteemed place among 20th-century American authors,” said Tagliabue, who served as president of her sophomore class in 1961.

That same year, Tagliabue’s class won the Golden Slipper competition. Tagliabue also participated in theatre productions such as “The Curious Savage” and “The Choir.”

While juggling her undergraduate studies, Tagliabue originally focused on biology but graduated with an English degree.

“Georgia College had several outstanding teachers on the science faculty,” Tagliabue said, including Dr. Clyde Keeler, who had been involved with early genetics experiments at Harvard, and Dr. Sarah Anne Staples, “who was just a wonderful teacher.”

As an English major, Tagliabue appreciated Dr. Rosalie Watson.

“Some students were terrified of her, but I thought she was brilliant. She had a sharp, often irreverent, sense of humor. She gave you a whiff of the world outside Milledgeville.”

That whiff drew Tagliabue to New York. While attending classes at Columbia University and landing a job in advertising, she met Paul Tagliabue, who was finishing law school. The two married in 1965 and moved to Washington, D.C., where he practiced law and eventually became commissioner of the National Football League (1989 to 2006).

The Tagliabues have a son, Andrew, who is the executive director of New York City P-FLAG, and a daughter, Emily, who teaches high school English.

Dovie Chandler Wingard, ’41

Tagliabue’s Aunt Dovie Wingard attended many Super Bowls with the Tagliabues, becoming a bit of a celebrity herself.

“She had her picture taken with a lot of the stars who attended,” Tagliabue said. “She was the only one with whom Paul McCartney would allow his picture to be taken. She has albums of her photos with famous people.”

Wingard began appearing in commercials while in her 80s. After appearing in a couple of print ads, she got an agent and began earning money for appearances in commercials for companies like State Farm and NASCAR. This year her Atlanta Falcons commercial, which also features two former presidents, actor Denzel Washington, former Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox, former NFL star Deion Sanders and other celebrities, is making “all my friends go crazy. It’s fun to be a celebrity,” she said.

Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were filmed for the ad on a different day.

“Aunt Dovie thought that was unfortunate since they had missed their opportunity to meet her,” Tagliabue said. “She is very much a

character and always has been considered the actress in the family.”

Wingard earned her bachelor of science in education. After graduating, she joined the Red Cross and was stationed in New Orleans for several years where she met her future husband, Ernie. They later returned to Atlanta. As a student, Wingard said she couldn’t match her sisters, but she made friends among the dormitory students and was elected vice president of her senior class.

All four Georgia College alumnae also graduated from the Peabody School, established in 1891 on the university campus as a public school for Baldwin County students and a practice school for Georgia College education students.

“I tell my friends, and they never believe me, that I had the opportunity to go from the first grade to college on the same block,” Wingard said.

Barbara Anne Chandler, ’34

The eldest sister, Barbara was considered a brilliant student. When Barbara graduated in 1934, legendary Georgia College faculty member Dr. Helen Greene convinced parents Bessie and Charles Chandler to enroll her in the graduate history program at the University of Chicago. The Chandler’s agreed after Greene promised to chaperone Barbara since Greene was finishing a degree there herself. Greene taught all three Chandler sisters and Tagliabue.

“Dr. Greene told me she considered my aunt Barbara and my mother among the top students she ever taught,” Tagliabue said.

During World War II, Barbara joined the U.S. Navy WAVES, expecting to “see the world,” according to Tagliabue, but, ironically, the Navy initially sent Barbara to Milledgeville for training at Georgia College.

Later she was stationed oversees. Once the war ended, Barbara continued to serve in the Navy Reserve. She earned a doctorate in counseling from New York University and returned to Georgia College again as dean of students from 1956 to 1963 before joining the U.S. Department of Education to focus on adult education.

She retired in 1978. Always looking for the next project, she conceived and championed the idea for The Old Capitol Museum shortly before her death in 2003.

Elizabeth Chandler Minter, ’38

Also a history major at Georgia College, middle sister Elizabeth also was considered a promising student. After her marriage in 1941, she worked in Atlanta for the League of Women Voters and was an early feminist. She maintained a lifelong interest in current affairs and strongly supported institutions that promoted the cause of world peace and understanding.

Through her affiliation with First Presbyterian Church, she met and hosted many foreign visitors and briefly hosted a Chinese student, Carolyn Chow, who attended Georgia College. Elizabeth enjoyed connecting with international students.

Raising her family in Milledgeville, she and her husband took over her father’s businesses, Chandler’s Variety Store and the Union Department Store.

Her death in 1999 prompted daughter Chan and sons Charles and James Minter to establish a scholarship in her name, which is now part of the Chandler Family Memorial Scholarship. ■ Georgia College Connection • Winter 2011-2012
