Beaufort/Bluffton,
SC – For more than a
decade, numerous University of South Carolina Beaufort faculty members have
been honored with the Carolina Trustee Professorship award. This year’s
recipient is Babet Villena-Alvarez, Ph.D.
With
a background in French and Spanish literature, Alvarez researches Language
for Special/Specific Purposes (LSP). She is the Chair of the Humanities and
Fine Arts department and serves on 8 councils/committees on campus, in the
community, and in her profession. According to Alvarez, “Of the many
committees I have chaired in the past, the most challenging and equally
gratifying was when I was invited to lead the internal giving campaign for the USCB
Family Fund last year. Our committee was able to encourage 62% more faculty
and staff to participate as compared to the previous year.”
Faculty
at all 7 baccalaureate and regional campuses of the USC system are eligible for
the Carolina Trustee Professorship Award. In addition to Alvarez, the
following USCB faculty have been recognized as Carolina Trustee
Professors: Gordon Haist (2011), Carl Eby (2009), Lynn Mulkey (2004), and
Ronald Harshbarger (2001).
Alvarez
has been at USCB since 1994 and has no plans of
going elsewhere. “I am blessed to have a wonderful job in superb USCB
campuses nestled among the South Carolina Sea Islands.”
