School of Education Literacy event scheduled for April 2
The School of Education’s Literacy Program will welcome local author Norma Gentner and Dr. Fran Murphy, Founding Dean of the School of Education, at an event for alumni and guests on April 2, 2008 from 6 - 8 p.m. at the Amherst Campus Multipurpose Room.
Gentner has 33 years of experience as an elementary, special education and enrichment teacher, and was honored as a finalist representing New York State in the National Science Foundation’s Presidential Award for Science and Mathematics Teaching in 1995 and 1997. She regularly speaks to state and regional reading and literacy conferences, and visits local schools to give grade-level workshops to elementary students.
Prior to coming to Medaille, Dr. Murphy was an associate professor at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY, where he was the chair of the Education Administration Program and a co-author of the Doctoral Program in Executive Leadership. He taught special education and English in elementary, middle and high schools before becoming a principal and a superintendent of schools for 23 years.
