The Chimes News
2018 was a great year for The Chimes (Shorter’s student-led lit-
erary and arts magazine since 1879.) For the first time in three
years, we were able to provide print copies as well as an online
issue of the magazine. This feat alone earned the team a first
place with the American Scholastic Press Association, an
award previously earned in 2007. This was the final issue
for three-year editor-in-chief Hannah Cauthen Hannah,
who graduated with an English degree in May 2018.
The Chimes, Issue # 104, “Like A Child,“ release date: April 0, 2019
6:00—7:30 PM; The Price Learning Center
With guest writer/speaker, Laura Leigh Morris The 2014-19 Chimes team
Laura Leigh Morris is the author of Jaws of Life: Stories, published in 2018
by West Virginia University Press. She lives in Greenville, South Carolina,
where she teaches creative writing and literature at Furman University.
Before that, she spent three years as the National Endowment for the
Arts/Bureau of Prisons Artist-in-Residence at Bryan Federal Prison Camp
in Bryan, Texas. She’s previously published short fiction in Appalachian
Heritage, Louisville Review, Notre Dame Review, and other journals. Originally from
north central West Virginia, all of her fiction is set there, the place she is most at
home. From the landscape, to the rich variety of people, to the long history of re-
source extraction, the region serves as a rich backdrop to both her life and her sto-
ries. She is currently at work on her first novel.

Welcome to Daniela Beard
Daniela M Ribeiro Beard’s drive is to understand and optimize systems. Having a
multicultural background, she thrives on using language as a pathway to facilitate
learning and efficiency.
Daniela was born in Switzerland to Portuguese parents and was exposed to many
languages from a young age. She first studied at the University of Wyoming where
she obtained a bachelor’s in Spanish and a Master’s in Spanish Language and Litera-
ture. She also attended seminary during this time with a focus on Church Ministry Daniela Beard
and Biblical Studies. In order to combine her passion for language and science, Dan-
iela subsequently went to Purdue University where she studied Applied Linguistics
with specializations in Spanish, Psycholinguistics, Second/Third Language Acquisi-
tion, Acquisition of Phonetics/Phonology, and Pedagogy.
Daniela has taught at the university level for 10 years and draws from that pedagog-
ical knowledge in the engagement of language with other areas. The classroom is
easily one of her favorite places.
Going forward, her research interests involve the exploration of the intersection be-
tween language and the business and corporate world, as well as continued re-
search in phonology/phonetics, language acquisition, and pedagogy.
In 2018, Daniela got married to her best friend and adventure partner, Cameron.
They enjoy the outdoors, board games, and cooking together. After the wedding,
they moved to Georgia, where Daniela is currently an Assistant Professor – Spanish
at Shorter University. She is excited to be part of the English, Modern Languages,
and Liberal Arts team and hopes to help the Spanish program develop and grow.

The High Museum, Atlanta, April 6, 2019
European Masterworks: The Phillips Collection opens at
the High Museum of Art on April 6, 2019.
Established in Washington, DC, at the end of World War I by
the young collector Duncan Phillips (1886-1966), The Phil-
lips Collection has always been dedicated to the idea of
modernism as a dialogue between the past and the present. A pioneer in many ways, Phillips
had a keen enthusiasm for the art of his time. Relying on his eye for great talent and poten-
tial, he assembled a world-class collection that he believed could be understood as “an
American Prado.”

Dr. Angie O’Neal, Associate Professor of English and Chair
of the English, Modern Languages, and Liberal Arts Depart-
ment, presided over the honors induction ceremony on
Thursday, November 17.
Honorees and their families came in great numbers to partic-
ipate in the excitement and to congratulate their friends,
Dr. O’Neal sons, and daughters.
Students were inducted in Sigma Tau Delta (English), Theta Alpha Kap-
pa (Christian Studies), Lambda Pi Eta (Communication Studies), Kappa
Delta Pi (Education), Pi Kappa Lambda (Music), and Pi Gamma Mu
(Social Science).
Dr. Kathi Vosevich, Professor of English and Associate Provost, was
the keynote speaker. She inspired honorees, their friends, families, as
well as colleagues with the need to do good: “If you dare to think,
think right. Based on your right thinking, dare to do, and do. Act. With
every thought you think that enables a choice you make, you exert Dr. Vosevich
power in some way. Exert that power for good in your actions-do good.” 5Publishing and Internship Opportunities
