In the last group of graduate students I got to work with when I was directing the secondary social studies program at Wake Forest University was an outstanding young man: Bradley Phillis. After teaching here in town for six years, he headed to the University of Tennessee where, this spring, he earned his PhD in history. Imagine the tremendous joy and celebration when the news came out recently that he had joined the faculty at Gardner-Webb University, teaching both history and also coordinating secondary social studies education! He paid a visit to the Roediger House yesterday and we put in a full and long day talking about teaching and brainstorming ideas for one of the classes on his load this fall. When dinnertime rolled around, I served up arroz con pollo with white cheese sauce, as well as more of the homemade salsa. Given that Boiling Springs is a lot closer than Knoxville, it's nice to know more visits like this are virtually guaranteed in the coming year(s).
