UNCG recognized for community engagement
Associate Professor of Communication Studies Spoma Jovanovic, winner of the Robert L. Sigmon Service Learning Award
Jovanovic, an associate professor of communication studies, received the Robert L. Sigmon Service-Learning Award, and Brady received the inaugural Leo M. Lambert Engaged Leader Award at the network’s 10th annual Civic Engagement Institute.
“Spoma’s award is well-deserved recognition of her talent for creating partnerships between our campus and our community,” Brady said. “Her work in the service-learning field was instrumental in the university’s decision to reward engaged scholarship in the promotion and tenure process.
“The Lambert Engaged Leader Award is a tribute to the dedication of faculty, students and staff to engagement in Greensboro and around the world. ‘Service’ has been UNCG’s motto since the institution was founded in 1891, and it remains as true today as it was then.” Full Story »

Faculty, students give silent film ‘Voices of Light’
For decades people believed the classic silent film “The Passion of Joan of Arc” in its orginial original form had been destroyed by fire. But in the 1980s, film lovers rejoiced when a print in excellent condition was discovered.
UNCG faculty and students, in collaboration with noted Triad arts groups including Bel Canto Company, will give voice to the silent film Feb. 28 with the performance “Voices of Light.” The free concert, conducted by Dr. Welborn Young, director of choral activities and associate professor of music, starts at 7:30 p.m. in Aycock Auditorium.
Read the full story on the movie screening/performance in Campus Weekly.

UNCG senior urges dancers to ‘Nourish’ themselves

UNCG senior Allyson West hopes to change that. A trained dancer and Greensboro native, West is studying to become a registered dietitian and has created the online newsletter “Nourish” full of nutritional wisdom on how dancers can fuel themselves for the rigors of performance. Full Story »
