Lindley Workman Alyea, Assistant Director of the Student Learning Assistance Center (SLAC) at Texas State University, is the first recipient of the Gladys R. Shaw Professional Development Award. Ms. Alyea will apply the monetary award to her expenses for the 2010 6th International Conference on Supplemental Instruction in New Orleans, Louisiana. This conference is held every two years.
Ms. Alyea first met Mrs. Gladys Shaw, the award’s namesake, at the CASP 2008 Conference in Corpus Christi, Texas. They worked together as the featured speakers for the 11th Tutor Training Leadership Institute. It was here that Ms. Alyea discovered that she and Mrs. Shaw shared a “passion for instilling a variety of life skills” and leadership abilities in the learning center staff at the SLAC. Her primary responsibility at Texas State University is the supervision of over forty SI Leaders, working with eight disciplines.
“It would be an honor to attend [the SI conference] in Gladys R. Shaw’s name,” adds Ms. Alyea.
