Alumni Spotlight: Penelope Shumate ’93
|
|
|
Standing on stage at New York’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, alumna Penelope Shumate ‘93 had a moment of realization.
As a professional vocalist performing at the legendary Carnegie Hall 11 times and other impressive venues, it was during this concert she became cognizant that she had accomplished a large goal set during her student years at Radford University.
Originally pursuing a degree in radio and television broadcasting, everything changed during a class with now emeritus professor Clarity James. They watched a video of the opera “Carmen.”
“I could not believe that people could make such beautiful and large sounds without amplification,” Shumate said. “That was it for me!” Thus, Shumate graduated in 1993 with two Bachelor of Science degrees; one was in radio and television broadcasting, and the other in vocal performance.

Radford University announces second Southwest Virginia Juried Student Photography Competition and juror
|
|
|
When undergraduate students from 12 college photography programs participated in the first Southwest Virginia Juried Student Photography Competition, Radford University organizers knew turning this into a regular event was worth pursuing.
“Photography students at any level can really benefit from seeing the work of their peers, especially from outside their own schools and classes,” said Assistant Professor of Art Andrew Ross, who conceived and organizes the competition. “My hope is that this photography competition can provide a venue for the region’s photo students to all come together to look at and talk about their photographs.”
After the positive reception the first competition received, Ross has made a few changes. This year the competition invites high school students from the New River Valley to participate, in addition to undergraduate students from the many universities, colleges and community colleges in Southwest Virginia. And with this, there will be three categories for students to enter: High School Photography, College Analog Prints (for darkroom or alternative process works), and College Digital Prints (for any photographic prints made on a digital photo printer).
