Dr. Terri Tharp!!

Congratulations to Terri Tharp on successfully defending her dissertation this week. Now we all get to call her Dr. Terri! Hee Hee.... I'm next!

Congratulations!

Whoopie!!! Our department won the Homecoming contest for best decorations. Congratulations to Linda and all the students workers for doing such a great job!

MTSU Homecoming!!!!

It's Homecoming at MTSU! As part of a campus competition, our department decorated the hallways with a rock-n-roll theme. Notice the records on the floor and huge guitar on the ceiling. Since we will be playing the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, we planned to "knock the toppers off their hill!" The students did a great job decorating and getting into the spirit of it all!!

What a Treat!

So, I found out yesterday that I was nominated for a neat little award. I received a nice certificate stating that I was a 2009 OWLs Professor Award Nominee. How fun!!!! The OWLs are a group on campus for "Older Wiser Learners". Thank you OWLs for the recognition!
