B.A., M.A., North Carolina State University I think a sense of humor and a passion for teaching are essential in every class. I want my students to learn to think critically, to develop their writing skills, and to develop an appreciation for literature, but I want them to enjoy learning and coming to my class. I want my students to feel free to express themselves and at the same time learn to respect those who have a different opinion. I enjoy maintaining the free book table in Trustees. It’s interesting to read the responses to the question of the week. My two favorite quotations are "What remains is the last of human freedoms, the ability to choose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances" (Viktor Frankl) and "Illegitimi non carborundum" (unknown).

She obtained her masters’ from Indiana University-Bloomington in Human-Computer Interaction and design. Much of her interest in research stemmed from the competitiveness in her master’s program, which required students to be fluid in problem discovery, critical thinking, and innovative solutions. As a result, she is interested in creating technologies in interdisciplinary fields. Technology utilization has become an integral part of any discipline’s daily routine and those in the computer science field must work with practitioners to design and implement technologies which can lead to greater solutions. JerNettie believes that everyone who works in the technology field needs to have flexibility. Working with computers means essentially working with different backgrounds, personalities, and cultures to create the optimal product. Though skills are major assets, skill without knowledge of the targeted group or area will not produce an effective solution. Through research, social interactions, and iterative designing, a product can become an essential part of a user’s daily life in the long term. Usability is a must. Some of JerNettie’s favorite hobbies are reading books, playing logic games, writing, and watching movies.

B.S., M.A., University of Northern Iowa; Ph.D. North Carolina State University After I finished my doctoral work I spent three years in a post-doctoral research program. I missed working with people, and decided to try teaching. I found this so rewarding, and so time consuming that I focused my creative interests on trying to make my classes both meaningful and challenging and on my many and varied hobbies, one of which is reading. I never imagined that these passions would converge and lead to my part in Methodist’s first Quality Enhancement Plan, developing a culture of reading, or in my giving a presentation with several of my colleagues on this project at one of the annual meetings of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. I was also one of the charter members of the North Carolina Health Occupations Advisors organization, and was delighted to be selected as one of the first honorary inductees to the physician assistant organization Pi Alpha National Honor Society.

She prides herself in the five words which support her Philosophy of Education, “Look, Listen, Learn, Laugh and Love.” During her lifetime as an educator she has continually expressed to her students the need to provide all students with the fundamental skills needed to be productive citizens. She is constantly being asked by her many students to write a book of all the interesting true stories she has gathered over the years. Perhaps she will get it done very soon. B.A., Duke University; J.D., Stanford University Baylor Hicks is a writing consultant in addition to being the managing editor of the Monarch Review, Methodist’s journal of undergraduate research and art. Prior to arriving at MU, she practiced law for many years, in both North Carolina and the San Francisco Bay area.

B.S., Methodist University Jessica earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Professional Golf Management from Methodist University. She is a Class A member of the PGA of America. B.A., Valparaiso University; Ph.D., Fordham University My introduction to philosophy explores fundamental ideas about justice and personal love—two topics we spend a great deal of time sorting through regardless of job or technical degree. In courses on religion, my approach is existential, treating questions of faith just as those who hold their beliefs actually do. In either case, what matters is that these things matter, since what we care about, and how we understand those concerns, determines how we live outside the classroom. No surprise, then, that my own scholarship devotes special attention to the Danish writer Søren Kierkegaard, who once said: “If we should believe nothing that we cannot see with our physical eyes, then we first and foremost ought to give up believing in love.” More surprising may be how students end up learning something about their own selves—for example, whether one truly, actually thinks playing a video game is more enjoyable than changing a diaper. At first blush, the answer seems obvious until you try to fit that answer into a coherent view of what is worthwhile in human life. In addition to books and fountain pens, my other tools include a hammer, saw, drill, block plane, and sewing machine. These are handy for constructing a cool desk and chair, for example, to go with the books and pens. Publications include The Divine Madness of Romantic Ideals, A Reader’s Guide for Kierkegaard’s Stages on Life’s Way, and the forthcoming Exceptionally Common Courage, Fear and Trembling and the Puzzle of Kierkegaard’s Authorship. B.A., Elon College; M.S., University of Tennessee; PGA member A native of Poquoson, Va., Jerry Hogge earned his B.A. from Elon University his M.S. from the University of Tennessee. After graduation, Jerry became a faculty member at Kennesaw College in Kennesaw, Ga. Introduced to golf at 26 by the late Bill Strausbaugh, Jerry became hooked on the game and decided to make it into his career. Earning his PGA Class A Membership in 1977, Jerry first took a position as Assistant Golf Professional at Argyle Country Club in Silver Springs, Md., then Lakewood Country Club in Rockville, Md. a few years later. He became Vice President and Director of Golf at Canaan Valley Resorts in Davis, W. Va., where he directed retail golf and ski operations and managed three full-time food and beverage operations. In 1987, Jerry became the Director of the PGA Golf Management Program at Methodist College. Under his direction, the Program has graduated over 1,000 graduates and has a 100% job placement since 1989. The Program was accredited by the PGA of America in 1999. Program graduates are the most outstanding and highly sought prospects in the golf industry job market. Jerry has been recognized by the PGA of America and the Carolinas PGA Section: Education is a lifelong progress that allows one to apply principles learned in the classroom to everyday practical application. I attempt to make the classroom an exciting place by applying academic principles through real life stories and situations. The more I facilitate discussion, the more everyone learns and participates. My goal for students is for them to be able to use their education and have a position in the golf industry upon graduation. B.S. B.S., University of South Carolina; M.S., Ph.D., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Development of an Ionically-Assembled On-Column Enzyme Reactor for Capillary Electrophoresis American Chemical Society Dr. Hooper Marosek has several research interests. She is involved in forensic research with our Applied Forensic Science department. She utilizes chemical instrumentation to analyze gunshot residue (GSR) on T-shirt samples, the age of dried bloodstains, and hemoglobin and certain proteins in human bones. Some of Dr. Hooper’s work has been published in the Journal of Forensic Research. Dr. Hooper Marosek is also involved in research that is applicable to the fields of athletic training and exercise science. She has analyzed the content of several sports drinks and various products utilized by athletes to alleviate muscle cramps during practice, sport, or competition.

B.A., Coastal Carolina University; M.G.D., North Carolina State University Tori Hord, a multiple year ADDY award winner, completed her undergraduate degree in graphic design at Coastal Carolina University and her Masters in Graphic Design at North Carolina State University. During her time at NC State much of her research centered around digital correspondence and how the development of new technologies such as Virtual Reality could not only facilitate, but also enrich emotional expression and connectivity in an age of digitally mediated communication. She remains very much interested in how new information environments can enhance communication, the role designers might have in shaping such experiences and what that might mean in terms of design education. Other areas of research that she is passionate about are the evolution of typography, and the impacts of visual metaphor and semiotics within visual storytelling. Tori considers inspiration to be an integral pillar of both design practice and education. Inspiration sparks creativity, evokes motivation, and facilitates progress. Design is about finding creative solutions to problems, but she has learned that simply imparting tools and skills is not enough. Ultimately, it is moments of inspiration that turn skills and tools into creative and successful design. Therefore, constructing an environment that creatively empowers and inspires is the most valuable thing that she can give her students and it is her hope that providing this will encourage them to create thoughtful, successful, and inspiring design solutions. In addition to her love of design and scholarship, she enjoys hiking with her husband and their dogs, spending time with her family, and tackling a good DIY project. B.S., Campbell University; M.S., Ph.D., Nova Southeastern University From 1983 to 2004, I served in the United States Army as a Special Forces Green Beret, with deployments in several countries to include Africa and Afghanistan. I have authored several peer-reviewed papers that are published in IEEE journals and conferences. My philosophy is: No task is too hard if you adopt an “I can do this” mentality. A few of the classes I teach in the Computer Science department are Programming (gaming and App Development, Java, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Assembly Language), Architecture, App Development, Computer Literacy, Azure, AWS, Networking, Computer Security, Senior Project, Database, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, AWS, and other various courses. I know from experience, that setting your standards high can be challenging but very rewarding as well. I expect every student to push themselves beyond their comfort zone and seek perfection in every assignment! Visual Basic Programming, Assembly Language, Software Engineering, Computer Networks, Unix Programming, Computer Architecture, Computer Security Computer Security, Software Engineering, Programming, GUI Development, Operating Systems, Database Management, Client-Server computing, Computer Graphics Playing chess, camping, exercising, reading IT Literature B.A., Columbia State University B.A., University of Dayton; M.F.A., North Carolina State University I began teaching at Methodist University in 2017, which makes me the newest member of the English faculty. I teach writing, and like most teachers, I’ve got a pretty deep belief that what I teach matters. I would argue that there is considerable power in the way that we language (yes, “language” as a verb; when you’re an English instructor, few people have the courage to scold you when you break the official rules). In an increasingly online world, written words (typed ones, anyway) carry the weight of much of our interaction with one another. We have a responsibility to learn to be very careful with them. My approach to teaching writing prioritizes clarity, structure, precision, and synthesizing information. I am interested in understanding how writing transfers across contexts and modes, in using popular cultural texts to increase student access and authority, and in developing an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) approach to remedial writing courses at Methodist. I have this idea that composing and responding to arguments with great care is an important part of the work of citizens in a democracy. Prior to Methodist, I taught and directed the writing center at Saint Augustine’s University. My most recent scholarly work has appeared in Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy and Praxis: A Writing Center Journal, and my most recent creative work has appeared in The Florida Review and American Fiction. I’m an Ohio native, with no impending plans to return. I enjoy spending time with my family (including a toddler, preschooler, spouse, dog, and cat) and reading books.

B.A., University of Texas; M.A., Ph.D., Claremont Graduate University I am interested in the prospects and challenges of looking for truth in multiple religions. In 2014, I wrote Interreligious Hermeneutics and the Pursuit of Truth (Lexington Books), which explores the mind’s need to interpret everything it encounters, and how interpretation helps us understand and compare unfamiliar religions. I am also interested in process philosophy, which involves the claim that events and processes are more fundamentally real than substances. Currently, I am working on a book about the Buddhist concept of emptiness and its promise for cultivating ecological societies. My goal in the classroom is to guide students past the instrumental goods of career and salaries to the final goods that give meaning and value to a life. As important as it is to get a stable job that pays well, it is the pursuit of truth, beauty, and justice that make working 9-to-5 worthwhile. I teach courses in east and south Asian religions; monotheisms and violence; angels, demons, and jinn; mystical literature; and the feminine divine. I am honored to have been awarded Methodist University Exemplary Teacher Award in 2013 and to have been recognized as one of the Fayetteville Observer’s “Forty under 40” in 2015. I am also an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to horology, cooking, gardening, wildlife observation, cephalopods, fiction reading, and parenting.

B.A., University of North Carolina at Wilmington; M.S.A., Central Michigan University In her 18 seasons as head coach, the Kinston, N.C. native DeeDee Jarman has amassed a 269-187 (.560) record, making her the winningest head coach in the history of women’s basketball at Methodist. She ranks first all-time in victories at Methodist, and her winning percentage of .560 ranks second among any Monarch head coach. Jarman, who garnered the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1999-00, has led her squads to at least a share of three consecutive DIAC regular-season championships, two DIAC Tournament championships and advanced to the NCAA Division III National Tournament twice. Additionally, Jarman directed the Monarchs to a 24-home game winning streak, a streak that spanned three seasons and broke the school record for most consecutive home wins. Methodist’s best season during Jarman’s tenure was an impressive 21-5 in the 1999-2000 season. Under her watch, 41 players have received their degrees from Methodist, 23 players have garnered All-Conference honors and two have won DIAC Tournament Most Valuable Player awards. Prior to the 1997-98 campaign, Jarman spent two years as the assistant coach to 11-year Methodist mentor, Rita Wiggs. Prior to coming to Methodist, Jarman served as the head women’s basketball coach at New Bern High School from 1993-95. During that time, her squads registered a 32-16 record (.667). Jarman earned a Bachelor of Arts in health and physical education from UNC-Wilmington in 1989, as well as an associate’s degree from Mount Olive College, where she played basketball and softball for two years. In the spring of 2003, she earned her Master of Science in Administration from Central Michigan University. Jarman and her husband, Errol, welcomed a daughter, Dawson Michele, to the family on June 2, 2004. B.F.A., Western Carolina University; M.F.A, East Tennessee State University Beginning with winning a Halloween Carnival poster contest in third grade, Kerry Jenkins was tempted by the notion of a career in graphic design. He then pursued caricature drawing in high school, with his algebra teacher as an (unbeknownst) model. Kerry followed up his high school slog by earning two degrees in his subject of interest. He then officially began work as a graphic designer. Soon, he started his own studio in Johnson City, Tennessee—Great Scott Design—using his middle name in the title. (“Great Kerry Design” just didn’t have the same ring.) More than 12 years of award-winning graphic design studio success followed. Jenkins earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., and his Master of Fine Arts in graphic design from East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tenn. He is the recipient of two print media “Best of Show” awards, two “Judges’ Choice” awards, and 68 ADDY® awards collectively across twelve annual Tri-City Metro Advertising Federation American Advertising Awards®.

He is a midwife (not mid-husband) and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who retired from the Army in 2015 as a Lieutenant Colonel after a 27 years in the Army Nurse Corps. During his long career in the Army he served in a plethora of roles in Tennessee, North Carolina, Rhode Island, New York, Maryland, and Landstuhl, Germany. His last assignment was as the Chief of Midwifery Services at Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Professor Johnston is an expert in human lactation and has traveled across America presenting in professional and lay conferences on the role of the father in breastfeeding, the molecular biology of human lactation, the impact of health care providers on the breastfeeding relationship and newborn transition to extra-uterine life. His research interests include the biochemical processes behind human milk synthesis and the impact of support personnel (both formal and informal) on the breastfeeding family. His publication topics include safe bed sharing for the new family, nursing care in grief, death and dying for the maternal-child arena, the role of the father in breastfeeding. In his private life he is married to a lovely woman (herself a nurse) and together they have eight children.

Alex also took a year away from golf to participate in The World Race, an 11-month missionary project traveling to 11 countries in 11 months aiding local churches, schools, or civic groups and spreading the gospel. During this time, Alex served as the team leader and financial manager of a seven-person team, arranging all of their travel and administering the necessary funds while moving from country to country. Prior to his year of Christian service, he also worked at the Chevy Chase Club in Chevy Chase, Md. as an assistant professional. Alex completed his internships at Shinnecock Hills GC, Bethpage, and Hidden Creek Golf Clubs in New Jersey. B.S., Framingham State College; M.A., Emerson College Paul J. Joseph has been teaching at Methodist University since 1996 in the field of mass communication. He acquired his B.S. at Framingham State College in Framingham, Mass., and his M.A. at Emerson College in Boston. His work experience includes five years of video production in the Boston area where he created video projects, worked as an editor, and did video engineering. His teaching experience began at EIIC Emerson College in Maastricht, The Netherlands. Following this, Joseph spent one year at Midland Lutheran College in Nebraska before moving to North Carolina as his permanent home. Joseph introduced computer-based video editing at Methodist in 1998 and built the University’s video facilities. An independent film maker, Joseph has produced a number of award-winning projects, including a documentary about epilepsy and two video dramas, one of which was featured in the Ava Gardner Independent Film Festival in 2010. Also during his career at Methodist University, Joseph wrote 10 novels, all of which are currently available in e-book, print, and audible format on Amazon.com. Joseph was chair of the Communication Department for almost 10 years, and he created the foundation for much of what the department is today. He created the new radio station, designed and built all editing facilities, and crafted the current studio for live production and general use. He participates regularly with live multi-camera projects on location and supervises student service projects. Joseph’s current research interests include 3-D graphics for virtual reality and 3-D printing; HD video production in single camera and multi-camera format; and storytelling through writing, video, and animation. B.S., M.S., Appalachian State University; Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh B.S., M.S., Hanyang University; Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University My name is Eun Hoo “Uno” Kim. I was born in Seoul, South Korea and moved to Michigan in 2002. I graduated from Hanyang University (BS/MS), and Case Western Reserve University (PhD). Then, I did my postdoctoral research at Purdue University. Go Boilermakers! At Purdue, I did research with a 2010 Nobel Chemistry laureate, Dr. Negishi. I had the privilege of writing a book chapter and a huge review paper with him. My main research interests are syntheses of difluorinated natural product analogues using selective carbon-carbon bond cleavage via trifluoroacetate-release. Gingerols and Epihirsutanonol were the targets over last a few years. Three of my undergraduate students worked on the project and all of them are now in graduate school (Duke/Purdue/Waterloo). I teach Organic Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry. I also have taught General Chemistry and Biochemistry, too. My favorite class is Medicinal Chemistry. It’s a real charm. Students are surprised to learn about medicines with unexpected views by synthetic pharmaceutical/medicinal chemists. I have been working at MU since 2013. I chose here because I liked the weather MOST! Believe me. I lived in Midwest (MI/OH/IN) for 11 years before N.C. Now, I live in Fayetteville near with my son, my daughter, my wife and many fruit trees in the backyard. For other activities, I'm a serious member of Cumberland County Science Olympiad Team. You can find me in all competitions (Elementary/Middle/High). My other hobbies are table tennis and puzzle games like Rubik’s Cube (sub-15). I am an Iron(Fe) man. Fe means “iron” in the periodic table. It is closely related to my PhD thesis subject. A New Synthetic Pathway to Diquinane and Triquinane Systems Negishi Lab and Colby Lab (Purdue University) B.A., Methodist University Rebecca King is the Assistant Director of the Writing Center at Methodist University, where she graduated, magna cum laude, in 2012 with a B.A. in Writing. She teaches the Dirty Dozen workshops. She moved to the Carolinas from Maine in 2007, where she owned and operated a restaurant for many years, sold real estate, and started a furniture repurposing business. King continues to own her small business, Sage and Twine, and can often be found painting and working on furniture in her barn. However, she is also a writer and is currently working on her first novel. B.A. B.A., University of Alabama; M.A., University of Iowa; M.Acc., Ph.D., University of Tennessee, Knoxville; CPA. I honestly believe that every student can learn and use accounting. I love to teach. Different styles of teaching are integrated into my courses to meet the needs of my students. If a student puts forth a reasonable effort, I want that effort to pay off in spades. Learning accounting is an individual accomplishment but requires a team effort. Her primary research interest is strategic behavior by individuals in response to social change. Die-hard sports fan, avid cook, swimmer, camper, and international traveler. Leads annual study abroad trip to Guatemala over Spring Break. B.A., Hunter College of the City University of New York; M.A., Columbia University; Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I'm originally from New York, which is also where I got my B.A. and my Masters degrees before moving to North Carolina to finish my Ph.D at UNC Chapel Hill. I was trained as a medieval historian, but I also teach classes in ancient history, the history of the Renaissance and Reformation and the history of early science. My own particular areas of interest are medieval cultural and intellectual history. I’m especially interested in how people in earlier times thought about and wrote history Currently I’m researching and writing about accounts of interreligious relations and violence in the period of the Crusades. In addition to being a historian, I’m also a musician. I play the piano and I sometimes sing, these days with the North Carolina Master Chorale in Raleigh.

Kerry felt his career choice was a wise one—a continuing visual oeuvre with very little math involved. But he thought, “What if I could teach others contemplating the same career choice?” So he helped to establish the B.F.A. in Graphic Design program at Methodist in 2007. Since then, Kerry has taught graphic design, typography, imaging, photography, and graphic design history courses and is a tenured Associate Professor.
