Dr. Bruce L. Edwards

May 11, 2009 by

In 1977, Bruce L. Edwards received his BA in English from the English Department here at Missouri S&T. (We were the University of Missouri – Rolla at the time.) He went on to an MA from Kansas State University and then a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981. From there, Dr. Edwards went to Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he has been ever since.

Currently, Dr. Edwards is Professor of English and Africana Studies at BGSU, where he also is Associate Vice-Provost for Academic Technology.

His scholarly interests include C. S. Lewis and Kenneth Pike, both of which, I like to think, were encouraged here. Dr. Edwards’ Web site provides much information and many links for you to browse.

Dr. Ed Malone has successfully navigated Missouri S&T’s tenure and promotion process and been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. Dr. Malone has worked hard for this recognition, as a scholar, a teacher, and as Director of Technical Communication. If you see Ed, shake his hand and congratulate him.

Department Picnic

May 1, 2009 by

I’ve just returned from the Department of English and Technical Communication’s annual picnic. At the end of every spring semester, we gather to socialize, announce scholarship awards, give Academic Scholar’s List certificates — and eat.

Despite the afternoon’s being chilly, windy, and rainy, over 50 people, students, faculty, spouses, children, parents, came to Lion’s Club Park here in Rolla. It’s especially nice to see young children at department picnics and also nice to meet the parents of some of our students.

Perhaps you will be able to join us next May.
