Dr Vanderheide’s research journey attests to his commitment to lifelong learning. He shares with Emilee how he began his studies with an undergraduate degree in psychology, but becoming enraptured with reading towards the end of that degree set him along an alternative research journey: from 19th-century American literature to 20th-centiry American literary/cultural production in general and the profound impacts that mass and digital technologies have had and continue to have on artistic production.

In our inaugural episode of Office Hours: Student Spotlight Madison asks Brianne Machan about several different projects that she’s been involved in. The number and variety of these extracurricular, experiential learning opportunities speak not only to Brianne’s passion for history, archives, and research, but also the many possibilities available to students at Huron University who are willing to “make opportunities” come their way, as Brianne put it. She notes how conversations have a way of building into opportunities and as an example points out how her letterpress position started with volunteering to be a residence ambassador.

What’s the value of independent, undergraduate research to contemporary liberal arts education? How does one balance research, teaching, and administrative duties?
Tune in and listen to the conversation between Madison and Dr Dan Smith to get his thoughts on these topics and, in the process, learn more about Huron’s new Vice President, Academic!
