Dr. Sarah Cecire, professor of education, will discuss “Adventures in Antarctica” at Friday Colloquium on Dec. 2, 2016. The presentation is free and open to the public beginning at 4 p.m. in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall.
Cecire spent the fall 2015 semester on sabbatical researching, planning and studying Antarctica including a two-week trip to the continent. The pre-planning, along with the trip, resulted in the creation of 18 teaching units available to elementary teachers with Antarctica as the backdrop.
During a Nov. 1 Forum at Bluffton University, Dr. David Weaver-Zercher, professor of American religious history at Messiah College, took students to the early 16th century in the midst of the Protestant Reformation. At that time, Anabaptists were cruelly punished for their beliefs.
“Catholics and Protestants didn’t agree on much, but they did agree on killing Anabaptists so they couldn’t spread their ideas,” said Weaver-Zercher, author of “Martyrs Mirror: A Social History.”
Bluffton University’s Grace Albrecht Gallery will host “Conceptual Mixed Media” by Colleen Kelsey and Jeremy Long.
Kelsey is an art adjunct professor at several local universities and director of Kelsey Projects designing engaging art pop-ups and community art projects. Kelsey has exhibited her work most recently at the Phyllis Weston Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Blue House Gallery, Dayton, Ohio.
