Kendrick

In 2001, Susan Kendrick, professor of English and director of the new office of interdisciplinary studies, began teaching at Emporia State and has since been bringing authors like Shakespeare to the modern reader.

“We were discussing English history plays and she compared (a character) to Sigourney Weaver’s character in ‘Alien’… she is good at linking popular culture to Shakespeare and helping us to understand what she’s talking about,” said Josh Johnson, junior secondary English education major.

Kendrick said some of her favorite subjects to teach include Shakespeare and Tudor/Stuart drama because it introduces students to different playwrights.

“I also like teaching the British Women Writers Before 1830 class because it has some authors that students have heard of but also some that they might have missed. I get to teach novels with titles like “The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless,” how fun is that?” Kendrick said.

Other faculty and students had positive comments about Kendrick, and Rachelle Smith, professor of English, nominated her for the Schillinger Award in 2008 which Kendrick received. The Schillinger Award is given to an individual who has made “extraordinary contributions” to the women of ESU over a sustained period, according to the ESU website.

“Dr. Kendrick is smart, incredibly well read, funny and one of the wittiest people I’ve ever met,” said Ellen Hansen, chair of the department of social sciences.

Hansen said that Kendrick is great to work with and always makes meetings more entertaining, but she is also great at brainstorming. Kendrick’s classes are described as challenging and rigorous but also interesting and great fun.

“When I broke my ankle last summer, she helped me many times…I value her as a friend and a colleague,” Hansen said.

Outside of literature Kendrick also enjoys the works of Joss Whedon, like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Firefly” and “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.”

“Joss Whedon is an amazing, creative talent – he’s witty, intelligent and assumes that his audiences have brains,” Kendrick said.

Kendrick has seen the entirety of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” twice and still follows the story through the graphic novel counterparts. She enjoyed “Firefly” for its brief run and would have liked to have seen the show last.

“I thought ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’ was hilarious in a really sick kind of way, but I teach revenge tragedies on a regular basis, so that makes sense, I suppose,” Kendrick said.

Childress

After having been a high school band director for eight years, the age of computers opened a new door for Marcus Childress, chair of the Instructional Design and Technology Department, and he has embraced it.

“I really like surfing the web, especially YouTube. The Auto-Tune the News guys are just brilliant,” Childress said.

Childress enjoys all technology, and he really likes his HDTV and playing with new technologies – he loves his new iPad.

“I charted out band choreography on an Apple 2 computer. It probably took longer that way,” Childress said.

Believing there to be a strong relationship between music and Instructional Design and Technology, Childress said that this belief might just be because they are all “geeks.”

“I would say that IDT is about using technology and systematic design of instruction to improve teaching and learning in all forms, not just in K-12, but in the private sector as well,” Childress said.

IDT is making a big mark in their field and has even won PacifiCorp.

Childress said that the graduate program is not just for those interested in teaching in schools but that companies like Sprint hire people with an IDT background to train their employees.

“Foundations of IDT looks at theories that influence the field, the history of the field, and what people can do in our field: K-12, higher education, business, health care, even the military,” Childress said.

But Childress’ world does not only revolve around his work. His wife is from Taiwan, and he loves to travel. He has been to Japan, China, Taiwan and the Czech Republic.

“I went to Beijing for six days, DaLian for three days, and then to Taiwan for three weeks – we were visiting with the in-laws,” Childress said.

While in Beijing, Childress traveled outside the city and climbed the Great Wall of China.

“There’s an old Chinese saying that is ‘you’re not a man until you’ve climbed the Great Wall.’ Although that’s a bit sexist,” Childress said.

Childress is working on creating a dual program with IDT and a Chinese university. Though he loves to travel, Childress’ main focus is the IDT department and his colleagues.

“The faculty in the department are really amazing. They are dedicated and nurturing. They make my job easy,” Childress said.

The variety of knowledge the IDT faculty has stems from their diverse backgrounds, and the students themselves have something to offer because they come from all over the world.

“I enjoy the students that are motivated and willing to go the extra mile. Graduate students tend to be more motivated,” Childress said.

Childress said he loves the IDT department, the outstanding faculty and the tremendous students.

“He’s a good guy to work with. He has a willingness to help anybody out… he has the team player mentality and treats us all the same,” said Janet Schneider, administrative assistant for the IDT department.

When new Interim Director of Multicultural Affairs Ariel Robello joined the Multicultural Affairs team, she was awestruck by the staff and students participating in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day preparations.

“Multiculturalism is a way of looking at the world as your world, instead of those people over there’s world. Take each stranger in as a potential life lesson,” Robello said.

Robello has lived in Saudi Arabia, Mexico and major U.S. cities like Washington D.C. While in Saudi Arabia, Robello taught at one of the first women’s schools and she studied abroad in Mexico. Her travels have “made her a person.”

Robello said became the individual that she is because she became a “member of every community.” An important lesson that Robello intends to pull from her travels is that she had to adapt to every situation, but still represent herself.

“I hope (that students) see me as someone who will serve everyone. Students don’t need directed, they need an advocate,” Robello said.

Robello said she draws inspiration from Cesar Chavez.

“(He represents) humility, service, and the willingness to embrace other groups to benefit the whole. ESU’s campus is its own resource. There are students from all walks of life,” Robello said.

Robello aims to evolve Multicultural Affairs events into true multicultural events.

“(I want to) incorporate international students and find common interests, not unique differences,” Robello said.

As well as finding common interests, Robello hopes that cross development will grow between the Recognized Student Organizations. This will be a challenge.

“I have no idea how you could combine it with another organization,” said Kelly Roberts, junior speech and theater major and a new member of P.R.I.D.E.

Robello has a master’s degree in creative writing is currently working on her second book. She draws inspiration from her work with Multicultural Affairs and from Emporia itself.

Amy Webb, professor of English, was a mentor for Robello for her Post-MFA Certificate in Creative Writing Pedagogy at Antioch University in Los Angeles.

“(She) is very approachable and compassionate. If you come to her with an idea, she has the drive to help you to make that idea a reality,” Webb said.

Robello said she would love for everyone to stop by her office in the Center for Student Involvement with any ideas or concerns or just to say “hi.”

“Take a risk, smile, invite the world in,” Robello said.

Cannon

Ken Cannon, Emporia State alumni, recently participated in the Kansas state governor’s race, running on the Independent ticket.

“We wanted to listen and hear what Kansans wanted to say,” Cannon said.

Republican candidate Sam Brownback won this year’s race. Although Cannon did not win, he still believed that his “campaign platform was the best platform of the four candidates.”

Dan Faubion, owner of Faubion Tank Company, has known Cannon for two years and decided to run the governor’s race with him. Faubion said it was a really good experience.

Ray Makalous, owner of Ray E. Makalous and a Financial Services Consultant, has known Cannon since last year. Makalous said it was a really hard time for Cannon and he worked very hard.

“His father died in September and it was hard for him to keep running the race, shaking people’s hands when he just lost his father,” Makalous said.

With a strong belief in establishing a “grass-roots” following, Cannon and his wife, Connie Cannon, travelled throughout Kansas in their recreational vehicle on the campaign trail for nearly 40,000 miles. Cannon and his wife lived in Salina for nine years and now live in Andover. Cannon bicycled from the Colorado state line to the Missouri River, with the Bike across Kansas group in June.

“I can always lay claim to the fact that I was the first gubernatorial candidate to ride a bicycle across the state of Kansas,” Cannon said.

Cannon said the reason why he chose to run for the governor’s seat was that the partisan politics that were taking place in Kansas created more issues and that thinking was not taking the state and the citizens forward.

“I felt and still believe that a third party candidate could put together the best team because that third party candidate could assemble the best people from all parties,” Cannon said.

He used the motto “HERE BY CHOICE” in the campaign.

“He (Cannon) is a highly intelligent individual with so much energy, and he worked extremely hard on it,” Faubion said.

After Cannon spoke at a political forum in Sedan, KS, Cannon was asked to run on the ticket for the Reform Party.

“By making that move to the Reform Party, it meant that my name would definitely be on the ballot for the November election. It also meant that I would no longer have to get 5,000 signatures in order to have my name appear on the ballot,” Cannon said.

As a huge believer in creating a team atmosphere, which is “where everyone knows what their role is and they fulfill that role to the best of their ability.” Cannon said his educational career, training in leadership and “Dream Weavers” all helped prepare him for his run for the governor’s seat.

“I believe that I will continue in politics. I believe that I can make a difference,” Cannon said.

Before participating in the race, Cannon worked in education for 36 years, which covered 15 years in the classroom, 18 years as a principal and three years as a college professor and dean of education.

Cannon studied English and social sciences in ESU.

“I had outstanding teachers who played a major role in my life and were very influential, and I felt like I could make the same kind of difference in the lives of young people,” Cannon said.

With the true enjoyment of the relationships that he developed with students and co-workers throughout the education career, Cannon said it is quite satisfying to have students maintain contact with him regarding what happens in their lives.

Still caring about students in ESU, Cannon advised students to enjoy college life and said that it’s important to get involved.

“Prepare yourselves academically and prepare yourself to live life. Always do your best and be willing to outwork everyone around you,” Cannon said.

Kennett

Having taught at Emporia State for 36 years, Danny Kennett, associate professor of accounting and information systems, is known on campus as a pipe smoker with a big moustache.

“I am addicted to smoking a pipe, and it has been over 30 years since I started to smoke a pipe,” Kennettsaid.

However, Kennett himself said that it is a bad habit, but it looks funny when someone smokes a pipe. Kennett owns four pipes, and mostly smokes Captain Black tobacco with his pipe.

“I just enjoy a pipe and don’t like cigarettes because they smell awful,” Kennett said.

Kimberly Massoth, administrator specialist of accounting information systems,said a lot of students will go out to visit with him when he goes outside to smoke his pipe.

“It is interesting and I have never seen anybody smoke a pipe but him,” said Cassondra Boston, graduate student in accounting and graduate assistant of accounting and information systems department.

Kennett has had a moustache since 1971 and Boston said it is another thing that makes him unique. Kennett said keeping a moustache is just a habit.

“My wife has never seen me without a moustache,” Kennett said.

Kennett is from Pittsburg. He received his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in accounting from Pittsburg State University and his doctorate from Mississippi State University.

After being a graduate assistant at Mississippi State University for two years, Kennett taught at Peru State College in Nebraska and Mississippi University for Women and Southern Illinois University. After that, Kennett came to ESU in 1988.

Emporia is close to his home and also his wife’s in Parsons, which is one of the reasons he chose to stay here for so long. According to Kennett, Emporia is a small town, but he enjoys his life here.

“I like small towns, I hate big towns. I just don’t like to be around all those people, all those cars, all those buildings,” Kennett said.

Loving the university, the town and the students, Kennett said he feels it is enjoyable and rich rewarding to be around students who want to learn.Kennett even takes his own tests that he creates.

“He will sit down at the table in the hallway of the department and take his own test, just to make sure his students can understand the questions,” Massoth said. “He is always jokes around about if he would pass or not.”

Currently, Kennett teaches Intermediate Accounting II, Cost Accounting and Accounting Information for Management.

“I read textbooks a lot, and after I retire, I will read anything I like, I do enjoy reading,” Kennett said.

DJ by night, basketball player by day

Jarvis Nichols, senior communications major, is a two-year student basketball player and has worked as a DJ at Natasha’s from 10:30 p.m. to midnight, every Thursday to Saturday, for three months. Nichols said that he gets to party and entertain others who party at the bar.

“When I am doing that, I get to see everything. I see who is drunk, who is not, who is talking to whom, who is dancing with whom, who is looking at me… I just get chances to see everything,” Nichols said.

Nichols owns a professional turn table and music mixer and he practices for 30 to 40 minutes every day either at home or at Natasha’s.

Nichols has been turning for eight months. He used to work at a little nightclub back at home in Chicago and was always watching the DJ there.

“I felt like a have an ear for music, so I want to start the same thing,” Nichols said.

The other reason that Nichols said he became a DJ is because he had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery twice and had to stop playing basketball for about eight months.

“Before I was playing basketball all the time, then I had to find some other way to have fun and fill that void for basketball,” Nichols said.

With previous experience working on the KISS 103.1 “After Hour Show,” Nichols said he is thinking about working at the radio station after graduation and getting a job that fits his background in communications, although he said has been playing basketball since he was two years old.

“To be honest, I don’t want to play no basketball no more, even though I got crazy game,” Nichols said.

As a student, Nichols needs to study and do homework every day and as a basketball player, he also needs to practice and work out every day from 3-5 p.m.

According to Nichols, he balanced the daily schedule of getting up and going to class in the morning, then going to basketball practice in the afternoon, studying and doing homework from 6 to 9 p.m. and getting ready for work at the club by 10:30 p.m.

James Roberts, owner of Natasha’s, said Jarvis does a great job at his work.

“He pulls a very great crowd. He is big balling and most of the people follow him place to place,” Roberts said.

Kris Cannon, bartender at Natasha’s and Nichols’ roommate, said he keeps the music mainstream.

“In my opinion, he is the only real DJ in town. That is why Natasha’s is so packed all the time,” Cannon said. “Jarvis mixes the real music in town, because anybody can hit the playlist on the computer.”

Roberts said Nichols can play about any kind of music and he does a nice job of making people comfortable at the bar.

“The DJ’s job is to make people to feel like the bar is their home to relax, and this is where they belong and this is where they to be, and Jarvis is doing great on it,” Roberts said.

Vandiver

Ariel Vandiver, sophomore earth science major,owns 22 hula hoops.

“I am the ‘hooping girl.’ Nobody knows my name, because I am just nobody,”Vandiver said.

However, Vandiver only started hooping in mid-June, when she started practicing every single day. She started out hooping on campus down by Wooster Lake, the Union Square and the open lawn between Roosevelt Hall and Union.

Not being very social and into partying, Vandiver said she felt awkward and scared of going up to people and talking to them at a rave in Kansas City at the beginning of the summer. There she met a girl named Gemma, who had an LED hoop (a hula hoop with LED lights on it, making it bright at night) and was doing the hoop dancing.

Vandiver said she was always really good at hula hooping, and she felt she should learn to do it like Gemma. So she did, instead of standing in the corner, watching people all night.

“In this way, at least I could be out there and people could come to talk to me,” Vandiver said.

Peter Herguth, junior biology major, has known Vandiver for three years. Herguth said Vandiver is very passionate and caring.

“The things she gets into, she dedicates herself to and often gets obsessive,” Herguth said.

Vandiver found that hula hooping is about hooping just on the waist, while it has more of a flow with a little dance move, which she said is “really cool with music.”

“Hooping is second to studying for me and it is something different and something I am good at,” Vandiver said.

Zhengqi Zhang, junior accounting major, said she is one of Vandiver’s best friends and that her friend is so excited about hooping.

“Every time I talk about her, I will always tell people how good she hoops,” Zhang said.

Not only a hula hooper, Vandiver also makes her own hoops and sometimes she gives them out to friends as gifts. Usually the regular hoop cost varies from $30 to $100, while the LED hoops sell for $200 or more.

“Usually, bigger and heavier ones are easy to learn with,” Vandiver said.

During summer, she went to a group called “KC Drum Circle” with more than 60 people with hoops learning from each other and having fun.

“Everybody is accepting and welcomed,” Vandiver said.

Right now,Vandiver can work with two hoops at the same time, but her goal is to use three hoops together by Christmas.

“My final goal will be having four LED hoops hooping together,” Vandiver said.

Vandiver wants to start a hooping group on campus to gather people hooping together.

“To people, she is special for her hooping, but to me she is special for everything,” Zhang said.

After teaching for about 32 years, Carol Krueger has been appointed the new director of choral activities at Emporia State.

“I feel like the students really want to reach for the stars, to be the best that they can be,” Krueger said.

Krueger said she enjoys students here and thinks they are willing to work, have great sprit and wonderful attitudes.

“I love working with students who want to be the best (at) their crafts,” Krueger said.

MolliChitwood, senior music education major, said Krueger is open to helping students.

“She is great addition to the music faculty,” Chitwood said.

A.J. Pence, junior music education major, said Krueger is a caring, mother-like professor.

“Sometimes, we call her ‘Mama K’ and she will push you to better you,” Pence said.

Krueger teaches three choirs, A Cappella Choir, Chamber Singers and Community Chorus. She teaches courses on choral conducting and choral methods, and supervises student teachers. She is also working on musicianship skills and vocal techniques. Krueger brings in new ideas in teaching with two new music methodologies,Solfege and Takadimi system.

“(Krueger) has great experience in teaching and brings us new concepts, expending our knowledge of singing,” Chitwood said.

Josh East, senior music education major, said Krueger’s teaching is different than that of Terry Barham, past choral instructor, and she uses Solfege instead of piano for learning music pieces.

“She only nurtures students, but not enables students,” East said. “Krueger is willing to let students to figure stuff on their own to reach their potentials.”

According to Pence, Krueger’s goal of teaching at the end of this year is to get students more independent as singers and musicians.

Krueger is planning and preparing for several events, like theFall Concert on Oct. 7 at the First United Methodist Church, Magical Dinner on Nov. 19 and 20 in Memorial Union Ballroom and theChristmas concert on Dec. 5inAlbert Taylor Hall.

Besides teaching and workshops around universities, Krueger writes. She just finished the 600-page “Progressive Sight Sing,” which came out in June through Oxford University Press.

“Dr. Krueger is famous around states, for her books and workshops, and ESU is extremely lucky to have her,” Pence Said.

Krueger grew up in Green Bay, Wis. She received a bachelor’s degree in music education from University of Wisconsin and her master’s and doctoral degrees in music arts from the University of Miami.

Krueger moved to Emporia last month, and she enjoys riding her bicycle around town to learn about the city.

“The variety of housing is wonderful and I love to see the old homes from the 1800s,” Krueger said.

Edds

A new species of fish– Balitora Eddsi – was discovered and recently named after David Edds, professor of Biological Science Department. Balitora Eddsi was found in a floating river in Nepal in 1996 along with other seven new species.

“I got a huge collection of about 160 kinds of fish in 1996, and there are at least eight new species,” Edds said.

Balitora Eddsi is the eighth new species discovered by Edds, and there is a new one still in progress.

There are two of these eight new species named after Edds as a way to honor him and recognize the work he has done on Nepal fish study.

“It is cladding reorganization that other authors use my name, just like telling me that I deserve recognition,” Edds said.

Edds is originally from Independence. After studying in Zoology and Aquatic Biology, he became a member of Peace Crops, an American volunteer organization for volunteering time to do different services in foreign countries. Edds went to Nepal and has studied Nepalese fish for about 25 years.

“I am interested in diversity of lives, typically in aquatic animals. The coolest animals that live in the water are the fish, and they have the amazing adaptation to live in the water,” Edds said.

Brent Thomas, Chair of Biological Science, said Edds’ research interest covers a variety of living things.

“His research interest is very broad, on variety of different organism and topics,” Thomas said.

Edds has taught at Emporia State since 1989.He said he enjoys working in the department with qualified professors and colleagues, and doing both research and teaching here.

“ESU is a nice balance between not too big a school, nor too small a school,” Edds said.

Last April, Edds received the Robert L. Packard Outstanding Educator Award by Southwestern Association of Naturalists, to whom he has made contributions to education in the area of biology.

“He has a tremendous influence over a huge number of students,” Thomas said.

Edds said if no students have done well, no one will recognize his teaching.

“It is a huge unexpected honor of the efforts that I have made for the over 20 years in ESU, and the efforts my students have made,”Edds said.

Dandan Liu, graduate student and research assistant of biology major, said Edds is really nice and dedicated to teaching.

“He is always early at the office and wait for students come to ask questions,” Liu said.

According to Thomas, Edds brought in international graduate students, and he spent time trying to get them set up everything they need and even drove them around to look for place to stay.

“That is far above what is required for him to do,” Thomas said.

Edds said his goal is not only teaching, but also learning along with students. Edds works with students and guides graduate students in their research.

Noblitt

Bill Noblitt, new director of Marketing and Media Relations, started working at Emporia State last Monday.

“People here are friendly. I think that is ‘Kansas friendliness,’”Noblitt said.

Noblitt graduated with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and master’s degree in Education from the University of Alabama.

Withjournalism experience in teaching at the university level and working in the media for more than 30 years, Noblitt is professional member of CASA (Council for Advancement and Support of Education), UCDA (University and College Designers association) and former Editor for“Designer Magazine,” a quarterly for UCDA.

“Bill is an excellent designer and writer,” said Gayle Walden, a retired university editor in the Office of University Relations at Auburn University Montgomery. “He is also a precise and strategic thinker with an instinct for what is effective.”

Noblitt has taught in Alabama, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Wisconsin and Ohio and was Chair of the Editors Seminar at the University of Notre Dame in 1991, and also the Chair of the CASE Summer Institute in Communications in 1989 and 1990.

Waldensaid she has known Noblitt for about eight years and felt that ESU is very fortunate to have him. Walden said Noblitt explores the distinctive character of an institution and communicates it in ways that attract students, create pride in faculty and staff, and draw support from the community.

“My first impression of Bill was that he is a very congenial, generous person. His manner is engaging, and he has a great sense of humor,” Walden said.

Chris Wooton, Noblitt’s former student and student assistant at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, said inspiration for the themes of Noblitt’s publications and articles are from his personal life experiences.

“He doesn’t just want to observe life, he wants to live it and learn from it,” said Wooton.

Noblitt said he chose to come to ESU to become a faculty member because the university is serious about marketing and it believes that marketing is important to leadership.

“My goal is to work with the Emporia State family,” Noblitt said. “To create effective marketing plans which are communicating effectively.”

Wooton said that Noblitt is a “hoarder of inspiration.” According to Wooton, if you go to Noblitt’s office right now and look in his computer bag, you will find his laptop, a couple of magazines and his personal journal.

“He always searches for that perfect image, that perfect piece of text, that missing element that makes the big picture beautiful,” Wooton said.

Emporia State graduate student Michelle Hernandez, Greek Life Coordinator at the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) for ESU, demonstrates her passion for student involvement as the interim coordinator for Greek Life.

“Through my involvement here, I have decided that I have a love for student affairs and that it is something that I would like to make my career in.” Hernandez said. “I love Greek life.”

Hernandez was always involved on campus as an Emporia State University undergraduate student. When Hernandez enrolled to obtain her master’s degree she also received a Graduate Assistant position for Greek Life in the CSI office.

“I have known Michelle for about three years when I was the director of the Union and she was an undergraduate student in Greek Life,” said Lynn Hobson, associate vice president of Student Life at ESU. “She is very outgoing, friendly and welcoming towards other people.”

Hobson said Hernandez cares about students and really wants them to have the best experience possible.

“Michelle is a really caring person and always willing to help out whenever,” said Hayley Finch, senior communication major.

Hernandez is originally from Kingman. She graduated from ESU in May 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Hernandez is now in a master’s program for her MBA.

“Michelle is really dependable.” Hobson said. “If she said she is going to do something, she gets it done, and she gets it done on time.”

When Hernandez acted as a graduate assistant, she just jumped in and wanted to learn everything she could about the process, Hobson said.

There are six fraternities and five sororities in the ESU Greek community. Hernandez thinks that ESU has a really great community because they are so small. Hernandez was in one of the sororities when she was an undergraduate at ESU.

“They collaborate on a lot of things, and are really unified.” Hernandez said. “Since I am disaffiliated, and we want to be impartial, I can’t tell people which chapter I was in.”

According to Hernandez, joining Greek Life can help to focus on important principles like leadership, scholarship, and stewardship.

“You will find there are a lot of people who are leaders in organizations that are also Greeks.” Hernandez said. “Greek Life opens a lot of doors for students to meet a lot of people, and they can learn how to be a leader. The Greeks also all do study hours, and they all have minimum GPA requirements.”

As Interim Greek Life Coordinator, Hernandez works on advising Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council, the order of Omega (which is the Honor society for Greeks), Greeks Advocating Mature Management Alcohol (GAMMA) and United Greeks Association (UGA). Hernandez works with presidents of different chapters and helps by advising them about any issue that they may be having with Greek Life as a whole, or with a certain chapter.

“She may advise them how to take the next steps to make sure things go smoothly.” Hobson said. “Michelle is doing a really good job because she is still a graduate student. She is advising, and going to school.”
