RU Professor Earns Education Pillar Award |
|
A Reinhardt University music professor was celebrated this week as an extraordinary pillar of the community. The Good Shepherd Clinic awarded Dr. Martha Shaw the Clayton County Education Pillar Award for 2023.
The award exemplifies her efforts and positive influence she has on her students, helping those who are under-served, and recognizes her work has brought positive changes to Clayton County, Georgia. She accepted the honor at the Pillars Fundraiser, which helps fund healthcare provided to the medically uninsured at the Good Shepherd Clinic.
Dr. Shaw has been teaching for 42 years, with the last 11 years as Choir Director at Reinhardt. Twenty-nine years ago, she was inspired and encouraged to join the Spivey Hall education committee and start a children’s choir at Clayton State University. Her work with them thrived with kids flocking from 19 counties to perform with her. She now leads three choirs at Spivey Hall, including one that is one of the best in the country.

Spring is an ideal time to get a copy of the latest James Dickey Review. Named for Georgia poet and novelist James Dickey, the book is a compilation of the original creative work of writers from around the world, as well as works that study Dickey’s poetry and fiction.
This edition is the largest of its size in its 39-year history, featuring the works of about three dozen contributors. Content includes an interview with the Rolling Stones Pianist Chuck Leavell, a poem by one of Dickey’s students in the 1970’s, and a variety of fiction, non-fiction, essays and book reviews.
“The amount of quality material submitted over the transom has been beyond an editor’s dream,” writes editor William Walsh. “This is evidence of the value of our work as editors and the reputation of the journal.” MFA students at Reinhardt University collaborated with Walsh in key production roles, including managing editor.
