2009 National Convention Program
Making Scholarship Effective for Good 2009 Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Indiana Children’s Author and Poet David L. Harrison David Harrison’s first book for children, The Boy With a Drum, was released in 1969 and eventually sold more than 2 million copies. In 1972, Harrison won national recognition when he received the Christopher Award for The Book of Giant Stories. Since then he has published 76 original titles that have sold more than 15 million copies and earned numerous honors. He has been anthologized in more than 100 books and appeared in dozens of magazines and professional journals. His work has been translated into twelve languages and presented on television, radio, cassette, and CD-ROM. His poetry inspired Sandy Asher’s school play, Somebody Catch My Homework, which has been produced in the United States and abroad. Jesse and Grace, a fourth-grade best friends’ play in poetry, has been praised for its “honesty of characters and use of art and music.” Harrison’s “Sky High on Reading” program was the International Reading Association’s nationwide winner in 2001. The Missouri Librarian Association presented him with its 2007 Literacy Award for the body of his work. Among Harrison’s professional books are Easy Poetry Lessons That Dazzle and Delight, with Bernice Cullinan (Scholastic); Using the Power of Poetry to Teach Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and More, with Kathy Holderith (Scholastic); “Yes, Poetry Can,” the poetry chapter for Children’s Literature in the Reading Program (3rd Edition, edited by Deborah Wooten and Bernice Cullinan; coming in 2009, IRA); Partner Poems for Building Fluency: 40 Engaging Poems for Two Voices With Motivating Activities That Help Students Improve Their Fluency and Comprehension, with Tim Rasinski and Gay Fawcett, (coming in 2009, Scholastic); and Phonemic Awareness through Poetry Play, with Mary Jo Fresch, (in progress, IRA). In the last fifteen years he has been a keynote speaker, banquet speaker, featured speaker, featured author, or presenter at 80 state, regional, and national conferences in twenty-seven states. Harrison holds science degrees from Drury and Emory universities and honorary doctorate of letters degrees from Missouri State University and Drury University. He is poet laureate of Drury and lives in Springfield, Missouri, with his wife Sandy, a retired guidance counselor. 2 Alpha Chi’s 2009 Distinguished Alumnus Dr. Robert W. Sledge Southwestern University alumnus Dr. Robert W. Sledge, one of the most important figures in the history of Alpha Chi, is being honored as the Distinguished Alumnus of 2009. A retired distinguished professor of history at McMurry University and now historian-in-residence at the McWhiney Research Foundation in Abilene, Texas, Sledge served almost three decades of elective leadership with Alpha Chi, including twelve years as national president. Sledge became a member of Alpha Chi in 1951 at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, home of the Texas Alpha chapter and site of the 1922 founding of the honor society that would become Alpha Chi. He graduated from Southwestern with majors in mathematics, physics, and history, then earned the B.D. degree from Southern Methodist University and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in history from the University of Texas. With his historian’s skills and his connection to Alpha Chi’s birthplace, Sledge was the natural choice to be commissioned to write the book-length history, Scholarship and Character: Seventy-five Years of Alpha Chi, published in 1997 to mark the anniversary of the society’s founding in 1922. Two years later, in 1999, he completed his third term as president of the National Council and a total of twenty-four years on that governing body, including terms as secretary and vice president as well as president. The Council immediately asked him to serve an appointment as archivist, a role he filled from 1999 to 2008. Sledge began his career at McMurry in 1964 and became assistant sponsor of the Texas Upsilon chapter in 1967 and then head sponsor in 1968, a responsibility he held until 1991. During the 1990s he continued to work as an assistant sponsor. He also served Region I in the 1970s as vice president and president. Among Rob Sledge’s many accomplishments as Alpha Chi’s president was the creation of awards to recognize the service of chapter sponsors and others who have contributed significantly to the society’s ideals. Little could he have expected that one day one of these awards, the Distinguished Alumni Award, would come his way. Dr. Sledge’s book of Alpha Chi history will be on sale at AX Central during registration and the student presentation sessions. The cost is $10 (cash or check only). 3 Thursday, April 2, 2009 Program of Events Literacy 500: Making Scholarship Effective for Good 2:00-7:00 Convention RegistrationCAX Central ________________________________ Regency Foyer Lara Q.
