Areas of interest for this year&#8217;s Ole Miss class include music, engineering, anthropology and African American studies.<\/p>\n<p>Travel of the UM faculty is made possible partly through a $10,000 award from the SEC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being a member of the SEC means more than being in an athletic conference,&#8221; UM&nbsp;Provost Noel Wilkin&nbsp;said. &#8220;This faculty travel program brings together faculty from across the SEC to explore collaborative projects that might otherwise be difficult to initiate or fund.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We value our SEC partners and our collaborations with other SEC universities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Participants from UM for the 2018-19 academic year are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Graham Bodie, professor of integrated marketing communication, visiting Auburn University<\/li>\n<li>Elizabeth Ervin, associate professor of civil engineering, visiting the University of Arkansas<\/li>\n<li>Micah Everett, associate professor of music, visiting the University of South Carolina<\/li>\n<li>Selim Giray, assistant professor of music and orchestra director, visiting the University of Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Samuel Lisi, assistant professor of mathematics, visiting the University of Arkansas<\/li>\n<li>Maureen Meyers, assistant professor of anthropology, visiting the University of Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Adrienne Park, instructor in music, visiting the University of Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Charles Ross, director of African American studies and professor of history, visiting the University of Alabama<\/li>\n<li>Michael Rowlett, associate professor of music, visiting the University of Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Hakan Yasarer, assistant professor of civil engineering, visiting Auburn University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SEC Faculty Travel Program is one of several academic endeavors designed to support the teaching, research, service and economic development focus of the SEC&#8217;s 14 member universities. Past program participants have been invited to present their research at conferences, been awarded competitive grants and secured publications in leading journals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The SEC Faculty Travel Program provides faculty at all SEC universities the opportunity to broaden their network of scholars and professionals,&#8221; UM Associate Provost Donna Strum said. &#8220;This opportunity often leads to collaboration on intercollegiate teaching and research projects, which advance our mission. We appreciate the SECs support and look forward to the 2018-19 program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several additional Ole Miss faculty members also completed trips to SEC institutions earlier this year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shennette Monique Garrett-Scott, assistant professor of history and African American studies, visited the University of Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Robert Cummings, executive director of academic innovation and associate professor of writing and rhetoric, visited the University of Georgia<\/li>\n<li>Dinorah Sapp, lecturer in intensive English, visited the University of Kentucky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 Ten University of Mississippi&nbsp;faculty members are taking part in the&nbsp;SEC Faculty Travel Program&nbsp;this academic year, joining more than 100 fellow faculty members from other Southeastern Conference institutions.
