A publication of the
Education Department
at Wittenberg University
A Letter From the Editor
Dear Wittenberg Education Alumni and Friends,
I am pleased to finally present you with the first official installment
of the Education Department’s newsletter The Blair Bulletin, the Home-
coming edition. Many hours have gone into creating this document and it
has been quite the learning experience for me (thank you for your pa-
tience!). I want to personally thank once again the alumni who helped
make this newsletter possible by responding to my email, the outstanding
professors of the Education Department for their aid and input, and, last
but not least, Kaitlin Toth ‘13 for turning my massive word document into
an actual newsletter.
I already have several things in mind for the next one (Winter
2011), but I still need your help! Please send me your stories— where you
are, what you’ve been doing, anything you’d like to share with the depart-
ment or other alumni—I’m all ears! Just take ten minutes of your time
and write me a quick email. Please don’t hesitate to send messages and
questions to my work email address:
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories of those who have already
contacted me and they’ve often made my day. Hearing what you all have
done since leaving this beautiful campus both inspires me and renews my
faith that Wittenberg grads truly are making a difference. Thanks to all
for what you do and I look forward to hearing from many more of you!
Sincerely,
Julia Smith ‘12
Alumni Liaison for the Education Department
Wittenberg University
If you weren’t able to make it back
for last year’s Homecoming, check
out our feature article about the re-
dedication of Blair Hall (right). We
hope to see you this year, so you can
see for yourself all the fine work that
has gone into making this department
an example in the field and the source
of future leaders in education.
Happy Homecoming!
Alumni and Students Gather for Rededication of
Historic Blair Hall
On a beautiful, unseasonably warm autumn after-
noon, a couple hundred of proud Witt alumni and
dedicated undergraduates turned out to see the re-
dedication of Wittenberg’s historic Blair Hall. The
Fall 2010 semester marked the reopening of the
now traditional home of the Education Department
after a year’s worth of construction and interior de-
sign. The program kicked off with the opening re-
marks of President Mark Erickson.
He thanked everyone for coming and then summed
up the sentiment of the day with his proclamation
that “we are celebrating more than the wonderful
renovation of this building; we are celebrating this
wonderful program.”
In a time when schools are putting more money into
the sciences and athletics, Erickson said nothing
makes him happier than being able to reward the
excellent faculty and students with the building they
deserve. He even let slip that he considers few pro-
grams to matter more on this campus than the Edu-
cation Program, but also gracefully qualifying that
he’s not looking to get himself into any trouble—
although few in the audience seemed to disagree.
Dr. Stephen Broidy, the new Department head start-
ing the Spring 2011 semester, highlighted the many
new features of Blair and announced that the build-
ing is now “fit for a new century” and emphasized
the commitment the department has to improving
the lives of students and families around the Spring-
field community. One such project is the Spring-
field Promise Neighborhood, so it only seemed y
fitting that the next generation of children to benefit
from Blair Hall’s work also got to honor the occa-
sion through a performance by the Lincoln Elemen-
tary School Choir (see pg. 5). They gave a moving
rendition of “I Am a Child of the World,” followed
by a blessing by the university’s pastor, Rev. Rachel
Tune. The message of both these events was one of
hope, that through the good works of individuals a
life can be changed for the better.
The ceremony concluded with a ribbon cut-
ting by Dr. Erickson and others who were on
the reconstruction committee. After a few
false starts, they mastered wielding the super
-sized golden scissors to triumph over the
stubborn Velcro bow. With some laughter
and much applause, the celebration was
moved inside for refreshments and tours of
the completely remodeled interior. Special
presentations by students and educators from
Wittenberg also occurred throughout the
building. Many alumni were impressed with
the quality and extensiveness of the changes,
but also found some surprises. Bob Weidner
’62 commented that “I turned to go up the
stairs and found that they weren’t there any-
more!” But that was just one of the numer-
ous features that were made in order to better
serve future educators. If you’ve been una-
ble to make it back to campus to see the
changes for yourself, read on to find out
more on Blair’s major facelift.
· $5.2 million restoration that took a full year to complete
· 4 plaques capturing the 83-year-old history of the
building
· 1st LEED certification in Clark County, signifying
Witt’s dedication to “being green”
· 18 faculty offices, 6 classrooms, 2 seminar rooms, 1
media room, 1 Barbara Steele Kane production room
and a whole lot of happy professors and students
So What’s New In Blair?
The highlight of the Rededication ser-
vice for most was a living example of
what the home of the Education Depart-
ment has always strived for—an equal
opportunity for children of all back-
grounds to get the caring and compre-
hensive education they deserve. After
some opening remarks, the Lincoln Ele-
mentary Choir performed a rendition of
“I am A Child of the World.” Those who
continue reading this newsletter (see
next pg.) know that Lincoln Elementary
is the pilot school of the Springfield
Promise Neighborhood. The diversity of
their backgrounds was evident, but so
was their unity. The children sang along
to the appropriately chosen song and
signed the words, too, which hit a soft
spot with some.
Bob Weidner ‘62 remarked during the
reception how we spend a lot of time ed-
ucating about hate with the deaf, and this
gesture speaks volumes as to how socie-
ty has evolved. Tears came to his eyes as
he commented on the diversity of the
children, too: “My Granddaddy
would’ve loved to see those black and
white kids singing together.”

Adie Liefeld, Class of 2012, is a senior early
childhood and special education dual licensure major.
She is a member of the Kappa Delta Pi Education
Honorary and is very involved on campus as a mem-
ber of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Adie currently
works under Dr. Bob Welker and has been hired as
the Promise Neighborhood Research Associate.
BB: So can you tell me a bit about what the Springfield
Promise Neighborhood (SPN) is?
Adie: Basically, SPN is a community-based approach to
solve generational poverty, because it’s so difficult to
break out of that cycle. We want to equip children with
the means to finally do that. This approach is based off
the Harlem’s Children Zone.
BB: And what’s that?
Adie: In Harlem, a man by the name of Geoffrey Cana-
da for the past 20 years now has tried to solve this same
problem by creating programs that work with kids from
literally conception. He provides classes for new par-
ents, numerous Preschool or Afterschool Programs, on
up to preparing high school students for college.
Obama’s campaign promise was to provide grants to 20
cities to spread this program’s ideals. So, last year Dr.
Welker and Dr. Novak, through the Institute for Educa-
tion Innovation, started planning in January 2010. They
gathered a team of over two community members and
community stake holders, like Mayor Warren
Copeland, Robert Suver of Clark County Job and Fami-
ly Services, Molly Shannon, Development Director
from the City of Springfield, and Dr. David Estrop, Su-
perintendent of Springfield City Schools. The goal was
to create one of these “Promise Neighborhoods, as the
grants call it, and apply to receive one. Unfortunately,
we didn’t get it. We’re still a bit salty about that
(laughing). But we’ve received funding through vari-
ous community sources and are proceeding despite the
lack of external funding.
BB: Now I’ve heard this referred to as the Lincoln pro-
gram, as well.
Adie: Yes, that’s because the attendance zone surround-
ing Lincoln Elementary is the neighborhood which
we’re initially focusing on.
BB: Why was that one picked first?
Adie: During one of the coordinating committees meetings
early on they looked at all the Springfield Schools. Lin-
coln had the highest rate of students on free and reduced
lunch and comprised a compact neighborhood in which a
lot of housing development was already taking place.
BB: And you all recently had a kickoff event, yes?
Adie: Yes! The goal of the event was to get the families
and those living in the community to get excited about this
program, rather than just those of us on the outside, be-
cause they’re the ones who will get this program off the
ground. It was called the Springfield Promise Neighbor-
hood Kick-Off Celebration and it took place one Saturday
from 1-5pm at the Lincoln Elementary School.
BB: What were some of the things you did?
Adie: The activities we planned were meant to be family
friendly, like pumpkin painting, inflatables, and even a
double-dutch game ran by a local grandmother. This
woman was fantastic and even brought her grand kids to
help us set up at 9am. We also had food, a talent show
(where 5-yr.-old twins break danced to Flo-Rida’s “Low”),
and a local barber gave free haircuts. It was a lot of fun.
And we had a bunch of volunteers from Wittenberg come
too, so it was really nice to see the rest of campus get in-
volved with this program, not just the Education depart-
ment.
BB: So what was your favorite part about the day?
Adie: The really neat thing about this was to get to see the
families and those who really need this living the
“promise.” We can sit behind a desk and do all this organ-
izing and nothing come of it. But to see those people mak-
ing a difference themselves was definitely the best part of
this experience for me.

CLAC: A New Spin on Education
Only a year ago, Wittenberg became an official charter member of the CLAC Consortium.
This acronym stands for Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum and is an innova-
tive program that gives students the option to add a foreign language component to their
classes in nearly any area of study. Several departments have embraced this new oppor-
tunity, including the Education Department. The Education faculty members fully support
this integration of foreign cultures and languages into their classroom. Dr. Linder was for-
tunate enough to have two of her EDUC 150 students register for the CLAC option, Elyse
Cooke ’13 and Becca Perlman ’13. Both girls have a love of Spanish and brought their
knowledge into the regular curriculum by creating alphabet books in Spanish for children.
They both agreed that this project helped them discover some of the best methods to teach
Spanish grammar to both native English and Spanish speakers. They also were impressed
to discover how different the rhyme variations were for each language and the role that
phonetics played. Elyse finished by saying that, “It was interesting to think about how to
teach a different language; you need to approach the way you look at the language struc-
tures as a child would. And I believe CLACing has pushed me to do this. These experi-
ences will definitely help me in the future when I’m in a classroom with Spanish speakers.”
Elyse will continue to work on honing her Spanish and teaching skills by studying abroad
in Spain this fall.
Last August, Wittenberg received the exciting news
that it would be one of two private liberal arts
schools to be awarded a grant for $1.17 million from
the highly competitive Robert Noyce Teacher Schol-
arship Program, funded by the National Science
Foundation. This money will
be used during the next five
years to provide scholarships
to 16 Wittenberg junior and
The lead principal investiga-
tor, Dr. Post, along with Dr.
Kathleen Reinsel of the Biolo-
gy Department, look forward
to the opportunities this grant
can make possible for the students. She notes, “The
Noyce Scholarship Grant will provide tremendous
support for students already interested in STEM
teaching, and we also hope it will entice STEM ma-
jors to consider teaching as a profession.” One of the
reasons this scholarship program has started was due
to the nation-wide lack of K-12 teachers of science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),
especially in high-need districts. Post feels that re-
ceiving such an impressive grant is a testament to the
work Wittenberg has already put into the existing
STEM and Urban programs, along with the team-
work across disciplines to develop this project. This
commitment to the community is something Post
hopes will be passed on to those aided by this grant,
“I see this grant as helping to provide a kind of
‘circle of giving back’ where teachers inspire stu-
Applications for the scholarships are being accepted
now for the 2011-2012 academic year.

Lessons Learned: Three Retiring Professors
Share their Favorite Memories of Witt
After nearly 50 years of combined teaching experience at Witt and over 100
years of being educators in the field, the Education Department is saying good-
bye to three of its outstanding faculty members. And while they’ve left an in-
delible mark on the lives of countless students on their journey to become teach-
ers through the years, I asked them to share a story of how Wittenberg has im-
pacted their lives, too.
I think one of favorite memories was a birthday present from all of the students
in my methods class for language arts. They got together and bought me a beautiful
journal in which they had all written a message or meaningful quote. Since I really (I
do mean REALLY) stress the importance of reading and writing as two sides of the
same coin, and admonish them to never forget that children need to write and use their
own voice, it was a wonderful example of how my message (perhaps they might have
even been sermons) hit home. It was also a great reminder for me to practice what I
preach--I'm sure they intended it that way. It's just one example of how our relation-
ships with students are as important as the messages we send.
Dr. Kathryn Calabrese: 20 yrs.-Wittenberg, 17 yrs.-City Schools
By far my most pleasant memory of Wittenberg has been of my daughter Susan, who
spent four years here as a student and then later came to work in admissions and interna-
tional recruitment. Part of the memory flows from the personal delight of seeing her reg-
ularly and seeing how much she was adopted and accepted into the Wittenberg communi-
ty. But in a larger sense, I simply loved the teaching and learning that she enjoyed here
and the many, warm and lasting friendships and bonds she was able to form. The physi-
cal memory I have is of her bounding into my office with all the excitement and ideas that
she had gleaned from her classes. But the emotional memory is of gratitude as she was
nurtured by faculty and staff who truly loved and cared for her and who helped her en-
large the sense of the possible. That gift I owe to this place, and as I see now how her
career is proceeding, I understand, not simply as faculty member but also as the father of
an alumni, how powerful a school Wittenberg is and how it can transform lives.
Dr. Robert (Bob) Welker: 23 yrs.-Wittenberg, 3 yrs.-Denison, 5 yrs.-Public Schools
My favorite Witt memory is the entire group of middle childhood major graduates of 2010. They were
first year students at Witt my first year on faculty, and we were together from EDUC 112 right through
student teaching. Because the group and I spent so much time together over those 4 years we became
very close and genuinely concerned about each other. When one of the students didn't show up for
class one day, another phoned him right during class, and everyone yelled "Get in here!" He showed
up! I often think of them fondly and still keep in touch with many.
The “Wittenberg Curse”
While Dr. Mallonee has enjoyed her time at Wittenberg, in some ways, it seemed more like survival
than teaching. (But those in the field know that sometimes there’s not much of a difference.) Once a
year, she was struck by what she has deemed the mysterious and mischievous “Wittenberg Curse.”
Year 1: Back went out first day of class and spent rest of week on strong pain pills, “I hope my students
understood what I was saying!”
Year 2: Bat in bedroom. Forced by Board of Health to begin shots for rabies (luckily, they turned out
to be unnecessary).
Year 3: Wind storm= 14 days without electricity, “I spent a lot of time in Blair Hall doing hair and
make-up so I could be ready for classes.”
Year 4: Taken down by overzealous middle school students while observing. Resulted in 6 stitches and
a knee brace.
Year 5: Fainted during the MLK convocation. Hospital was unable to figure out why, but Dr. Mallonee
knows the truth. The Wittenberg Curse had to strike one last time!

Even after stumbling upon her passion for cooking,
Katie never forgot her love for teaching. She has combined
her desire to cook and to teach children by trying to “build
confidence in middle school students be teaching them the
life skill of cooking.” After graduating from culinary
school, she founded her company, Cooking with Katie, Inc.,
and self-published her book, “You’re the Cook! A Guide to
Mixing it up in the Kitchen,” in 2006. She now hopes to
share her passion with 9-14 year olds by offering hands-on
cooking classes in libraries, while also making various tele-
vision appearances and conducting author signings at
bookstores and book fairs.
Katie got married in September of 2009 and gave
birth to her first child in February 2011. She and her family
now reside in Topsfield, MA.
“Cooking Up A New Calling:” Katie Peterson ‘93
Katie Peterson, a 1993 graduate, discovered her life’s calling
while teaching 6th grade Language Arts at The Wellington School in
Columbus, Ohio.
Katie graduated Wittenberg as an Education major and then
interned at The New Canaan Country School in Connecticut for a
year. She later decided to move back to Ohio to teach at Wellington,
where she one day realized that her true calling was cooking! Katie
began taking cooking classes on the side and later decided to leave
teaching in order to work at a gourmet food market. To pursue her
love of cooking, Katie moved to Massachusetts to attend the Cam-
bridge School of Culinary Arts.

In life, education played a central role
in Diane Thall Arthur’s life and she found a
way to continue sharing her love of teaching
with others long after she’s gone. Through the
years, she went from student, to teacher, to
principal and saw first-hand how important a
love of teaching can make in a child’s life and
thanks to her generous donation, students in
need will be given the opportunity to pass on
this valuable lesson themselves.
Diane Thall graduated from Witten-
berg in 1959 with a degree in Early Childhood
Education. She taught in several elementary
schools throughout Ohio after completing her
undergraduate degree, working in Springfield,
Toledo and Vandalia. During this time, she
was also briefly married to Jim Arthur, a 1958
graduate. By the mid-seventies, Diane earned
her Master’s degree in Curriculum and Devel-
opment from Wright State University. She was
employed at WSU for a few years supervising
student teachers and teaching classroom meth-
ods for the university. From there, Diane con-
tinued to instruct by becoming a principal for
elementary schools, working for some time in
the Bedford School District near Cleveland and
two schools of the Tri Village North district in
Upon retiring, Diane moved to
Bradenton, Florida and enjoyed being in-
volved in the arts community of Sarasota
and she appeared in several musicals. She
continued her teaching ways by becoming
the social director at various retirement
communities and organized events for the
residents. Playing bridge with her many
friends in the area was another favorite
pastime of Diane’s.
Unfortunately, Diane’s memory be-
gan to fail from Alzheimer’s in 1997, but
she continued to entertain and enjoy the
beaches and theatres around the Sarasota
area. By this point, she had already made
plans so that a portion of her estate would
be returned to Wittenberg upon her passing
for the purpose of creating a scholarship
fund. The Diane T. Arthur Trust will be
donating approximately $300,000 to finan-
cially aid qualified students in need. In the
words of her successor trustee, Jim, “Quite
a nice gift for future education scholar-
ships ...don't you think!” Quite a nice gift,
indeed.

Congratulations to all of our Alumni on
their achievements!
It may seem a stretch to tie my professional experiences back to my education at Wittenberg. But,
I am convinced that both the specific instruction from the Education Department, and the general
education from an excellent liberal arts university had a direct correlation to my success. My Wit-
tenberg education gave me the confidence to try new challenges. It gave me the foundation to de-
velop new skills and to adapt to a changing environment. What may not be obvious from this syn-
opsis is that teaching has been a unifying theme running through all my “jobs. Wittenberg may
have prepared me to be an elementary school teacher, but I’ve used that education to become a
teacher of many subjects for many audiences. I love it! I’m very grateful to the Wittenberg Educa-
tion Department for bringing the teacher out in me.
-Nancy Glidden ‘73
Witt was such a wonderful part of my life and I truly appreciate the education and relationships
that I built while there. I love to stop by campus every time I drive through and marvel at it's
beauty while sipping a coffee.
-Heather Milner Meyer ‘06
Years ago when I took my first education grad course and the book was to be the same as a book I
used at Witt, I knew right then, that my undergraduate degree was a good one!! ---- Nancy Kim-
bell Blass ‘75
I believe the student centered process of teaching that I experienced provided me with a wonderful
model to aspire to.
-Robert (Bob) Shoop ‘68
Recently a college representative asked me for advice on how to improve their education depart-
ment. I told him that where I learned the most at Witt was from all the time we spent actually in
classrooms teaching, not just student teaching, but freshmen year on. I was exposed to many dif-
ferent teaching styles, schools, and kids, and I got to practice all that time as well. I hope that
Witt's education department continues to endorse field experiences as well as the required stu-
dent teaching.
-Katy Avery Liotta ‘82
I hope you are all taking advantage of the great faculty and staff and
Wittenberg, and realize that they really are first rate. There are a lot
of teachers out there that simply do not belong in the field for various
reasons; Wittenberg is sure to produce none such individuals.
-D. Ben Williams ‘10
After 10 years of teaching, my husband David '67 (deceased 2009) and I had 2 daughters. After
the second one, we purchased a printing and graphic arts company which I owned and operated
for 22 years. Ironically, all the typesetters I hired seemed to be "challenged" in grammar. I
"proofed" every piece of printed material before it went to the customer and found myself correct-
ing and teaching the employees, so my teaching skills carried on for another 22 years! I never let
on to my employees that I was a teacher, but somehow every typesetter I had over those 22 years
always asked me at one time or another if I was ever a teacher! "Once a teacher . . . always a
teacher!"
