RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION FOR

PROFESSOR CAROL-LEE SAFFIOTI-HUGHES

 

WHEREAS Professor Carol Lee Saffioti-Hughes has served the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and the Department of English as a teacher and scholar since she was hired in 1975 as a one-year lecturer, and was so impressive her position was converted to Assistant Professor for the very next year, and

WHEREAS she has been through all those years a poet and a mentor to local poets, and

WHEREAS she has empathized with Native American culture, which she studied on her own, offering the first English course totally devoted to Native Americans, and teaching it every year, and

WHEREAS she has championed a neglected population and brought them into the university community by way of the Sacred Circle club, Pow-Wows, readings, and speakers, and

WHEREAS she was instrumental in establishing, contributing, teaching in, and heading Women’s Studies in what was at the time a hostile climate, and

WHEREAS she has left her mark on the campus and its community by her early and continued interest in and support of instructional technology, science and aeronautics, dance, and childhood issues, and

WHEREAS she has truly and unstintingly devoted herself to advising and overseeing internships for her students each semester, and

WHEREAS her generosity extends to her colleagues in ways too numerous to count, and

WHEREAS her courage in the worst of circumstances continues to inspire her colleagues and students, therefore

BE IT RESOLVED that the Faculty Senate of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside expresses its appreciation for her contribution to this institution and the community and its hope for happy and productive years in retirement.
