Abstract
Joseph Meeks‚ dean of the Kennesaw State University School of the Arts‚ recently announced
the recipients of the arts school's 2002 Distinguished Faculty Awards.
The Distinguished Teaching Award was presented to Assistant Professor of Art Joe Remillard
of Atlanta‚ who teaches a wide range of classes from required general education courses
to advanced drawing and painting. He has led student trips to Paris‚ Rome and Washington
and has taught in Kennesaw State's study−abroad program in Oaxaca‚ Mexico. Remillard
combines his productive painting career with teaching to bring rigorous standards‚
global perspectives‚ historical insight and sympathetic encouragement to his students.
The Distinguished Scholarship and Creative Activity Award was presented to Professor
of Music David Watkins of Acworth‚ who is listed among the greatest pianists in the
world on Steinway's Roster of International Artists. His recent artistic projects
include two solo CDs‚ lecture recitals‚ concerto performances‚ master classes and
radio broadcasts. Despite his heavy performance schedule‚ Watkins dedicates himself
to his students‚ several of whom have won international competitions.
The Distinguished Service Award was presented to Assistant Professor of Art Jeanne
Sperry of Woodstock‚ who frequently lends her graphic design talents to the School
of the Arts and Kennesaw State University publications. Her dedication to her students‚
her profession and her community have found expression in the Graphic Design Center
for Non−Profit. Through the center‚ she and her students are able to stay current
in the ever−evolving field by providing useful design services to worthy community
organizations.
These three professors will be among those considered for university−wide honors later
this spring.
