Psychology Professor Cheryl Fortner-Wood received the university’s highest teaching recognition, the James Pinckney Kinard and Lee Wicker Kinard Award for Excellence in Teaching, at the Dec. 16 Commencement ceremony. President Dan Mahony presented Fortner-Wood with the Kinard Award for her teaching achievements and for her work directing the McNair Scholars program.


Te Kinard Award, which honors former President James P. Kinard and his wife, Lee Wicker Kinard, is given annually to a faculty member who has demonstrated a dedication to teaching and is highly regarded on campus by faculty and students.


Te Winthrop Women’s Coalition, launched in 2017 by First Lady Laura Mahony, hosted a March 1 event entitled “Women in the Arts: A Panel Discussion.” Panelists included, from left, internationally recognized painter and sculptor Audrey Flack, who created the Civitas statues in Rock Hill; Greenville-based architect Cary Perkins; “Shameless” actress Shanola Hampton ’98; and Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design President Deborah Obalil. During their two-day stay, the four women participated in master classes, had lunch with students and spoke to an at-capacity crowd of students, faculty, staff, community members and coalition members about their careers, the roles of women in the arts and much more. “We were so proud to have such a diverse panel of women on campus to share their perspectives and insights related to their careers in the arts,” Mahony said.


“Tis plan establishes a vision for our department,” said Halpin. “It describes and defines a destination for where we want to go and how we are going to get there, what success looks like, and makes sure we understand that if we accomplish the metrics outlined in our plan that we will have executed a successful path towards an intentional destination.”


Te six goals include target and stretch benchmark metrics in areas such as graduation, post-graduation job or school placement rates for student-athletes, championships, winning percentage, game attendance, community outreach, revenue and staff diversity.

Te award was presented in February at the organization’s annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
