Meet the Author ProjectEach spring, the SFCC English faculty invites a professional writer to campus to address all students in the English Composition sequence. Through engaging presentations, these authors reinforce thorough investigation and accurate presentation of information as they tell their stories about the research process. All students, faculty, and community members are welcome to these lectures. In addition, ten student essays are selected from the fall and spring terms to be critiqued by the author and returned to the students at a luncheon in the author's honor. Past authors have included renowned Missouri author William E. Foley, who in April of 2004, discussed his experience researching Wilderness Journey, his recently published book about the life of American explorer William Clark. Professor Emeritus of History at Central Missouri State University, Foley is also the General Editor of the Missouri Biography Series and author or editor of numerous books including Genesis of Missouri: From Wilderness Outpost to Statehood, A Dictionary of Missouri Biography, and A History of Missouri, Volume I: 1673-1820, all available from the University of Missouri Press. Dr. Clenora Hudson-Weems, the first to establish the position of the August 28, 1955, brutal lynching of Emmett Louis "Bobo" Till, as the catalyst of the Modern Civil Rights Movement, met with students in April and May of 2003, to discuss the research of her critically acclaimed book, Emmett Till: The Sacrificial Lamb of the Civil Rights Movement. And, in May of 2002, pulitzer-prize winning author Dr. Robert Unger discussed his work The Union Station Massacre: The Original Sin of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. |
