Photography: Improving Your Images

NEW! Whether using a digital or film camera, this course will supply you with the skills to take better photographs and get more pleasure out of doing so. Photography is a means of self expression, the recording of special one-of-a-kind moments, an art form with which to decorate your walls, a release from every day stress and a means of income for some.

Digital cameras have made it easier and more fun. They offer immediate feedback and gratification. But, you cannot rely on the LCD screen to give you an accurate account of the shot you just took. You need to be confident about, and understand how to get, the image you desire. To get a really special photo, one still needs to know the basics of operating the camera. The basics of composition, technique and how to use light will make or break the image; they apply to both digital and film cameras. These, along with learning how to manipulate f/stops and shutter speeds, will also save you hours behind a computer sorting, tweaking, totally recomposing or trashing. It is easier than you think! Learn how to take the image in the camera, not to make the image in the computer.

Wouldn’t you rather be spending that time taking pictures?

Dates: Tuesdays, February 5 – March 11 Time: 7-9 p.m.

Registration Deadline: January 29 CRN: 70471 Fee: $239 Instructor: Bill and Linda Lane, Nature’s Image Photography Workshops

NEW! Are you working like a dog? Does your boss keep gnawing at you? Are your co-workers cheese-chasing mice–or worse–rats? If so, it’s time to take control and gain the upper paw! Join author and instructor Karen Wormald for a lighthearted, yet thought-provoking look at how using feline strategy can save your sanity and self-respect in the dog-eat-dog world of modern work. Learn the five components of the ‘work like a cat’ philosophy and reinvent how you approach management, co-workers and your own career.

Voice-overs are hot today! You don’t have to be an actor to get voice-over work. With notable talents such as James Earl Jones, Linda Hunt and Donald Sutherland lending their voices to commercials, films and videos, one would think it would be next to impossible to break into this field - not so! You’ll learn about an exciting new way to get around the competition and actually turn voiceovers into a thriving full or part-time business! Our instructor will discuss the voice-over business as a whole, the numerous opportunities, the incredible income potential, and the all-important demo and how to have it produced.

You’ll step up to the microphone and do some practice recording, and best of all, you’ll hear the results!

The Art and Science of Effective Business Writing

Effective writing is both an art and a science, and it’s much more than just the words you choose. Without a proper understanding of purpose, audience and chosen medium, your words will fall hopelessly short of their target.

If you are responsible for the words that shape your organization, or if you simply want to learn how to write more effectively, come join us. In print and online, from ads to Web copy, discover the role of strategy in effective writing and learn techniques to cut through the noise and make the written word work for your organization.

Bend the Rules… and Write Better

Many of us dread writing because we still have nasty flashbacks of all those ‘rules’ we learned in English class. Out in the real world, being a slave to grammar can make our writing stiff and stilted.

Writing for the Web

In today’s world, an ineffective Web site is a liability to your business or organization. Users have limited time and patience and want full control of the interaction. If you don’t hook them, your competition will–and they’re only one click away! To use the Web effectively for your business, you need specific knowledge of web-writing principles and the skills to apply that knowledge consistently.

Dates: Thursdays, March 6 and 13 Time: 6:30-9 p.m.

Registration Deadline: February 28 CRN: 70658 Fee: $99 CEUs: 0.5 Instructor: Phillip Gravely, Editorial Manager, Marketing Communications, University of Richmond

Inspiration, Imagination and the Writing Process

Creative writing, like any craft, is best learned by doing. In this hands-on course, we will discuss what sparks the imagination of great writers and how their literary works take shape. We will then create our own short fiction, nonfiction, poetry and memoir. Beginning writers and writers seeking to refine their creative styles are welcome!

Get it Ready! Get it Out There!

A Workshop and Seminar in Revising, Editing and Publishing

NEW! Got a stack of writing that no one has ever read? Or are the rejection slips piling up?

Participants in this course will have the opportunity for peer critique of their finished works which they will revise and edit for publication. Participants will learn what to include-and more importantly-what not to include in a cover letter, how to professionally format submissions, how to determine if a publishing opportunity is legitimate and more.

COMMUNICATIONS AND WRITING

Creative Writing: Screenplays

Have you always dreamed of seeing your story ideas on the big screen? This class will provide an introduction to screenplays and will focus on their writing and structure. Participants will learn format, plot and character development. By the end of the course, everyone will have been given an opportunity to develop part of a screenplay for continued work and the “know-how” to market it.

Truth, Memory and Creative Non-fiction

NEW! “The boundaries of creative nonfiction,” according to author Mary Clearman Blew, “will always be as fluid as water.” In this “fluid” writing process, we will reflect on the richness of our personal stories and then employ narrative techniques to create honest memoirs and personal essays. Students will acquire skills to identify and evaluate the stages of the writing process, understand creative nonfiction forms and elements, and learn to critically evaluate their writing and the writing of others. Writers of all levels are welcome.

Dates: Thursdays, April 10 – May 8 No Class: May 1 Time: 6-8 p.m.

Registration Deadline: April 3 CRN: 70663 Fee: $109 CEUs: 0.8 Instructor: Sara Kay Rupnik, M.F.A. in Writing; Published short story author

Creative Writing: Poetry

Focus on the process of writing poetry by understanding how ideas are generated and translated into poetic form.

Chefs Glen and Martin Named MVPs Chef Glen Pruden, the University of Richmond’s executive chef and instructor in the Culinary Arts Program, has been named the Office of Community and Professional Education’s Most Valuable Professor.

Chef Glen also received the Virginia Chefs Association’s highest honor earlier this year: Chef of the Year for 2006.

Pruden was selected for his dedication and commitment to continuing education in culinary arts at University of Richmond and in the community, as well as his devotion to the highest standards for culinary excellence in every aspect of the food service industry.

Chef Glen started working for the university in 1978 and became executive chef four years ago.

One of the highlights of his university service was working on the recent expansion and renovation of the Heilman Dining Center. Chef Glen also serves as chair of the annual Chocolate Festival, which raises scholarship money for students attending culinary institutes.

In past food competitions, Chef Glen has won two bronze, one silver and one gold medal from the American Culinary Federation.

Writing Non-Fiction

In today’s marketplace, opportunities for publishing nonfiction writing vastly outnumber those for fiction or poetry. Survey exemplary pieces of nonfiction writing from a variety of genres, including reporting, casual and personal essays, “how-to” articles, reviews, essays of opinion, travel and science writing, and technical writing. The instructor offers guidance in creating manuscripts and submitting them for publication, and in the practical aspects of working with editors and publishers.

Students will create one or two short pieces of their own, share their writing with other class members, and give and receive feedback on their work. The goal will be for each student to have at least one piece of writing ready to submit for publication by the end of class.

This workshop-style class emphasizes writing and revising one’s own fiction while critically responding to others’ work. The exercises provided and the stories we read will illustrate basic narrative devices that will help students approach their own work. Students will also examine fiction markets and begin to identify viable venues for publishing their short fiction.

Students will need to purchase a copy of “Best American Essays 2005” prior to the first class.

FINANCIAL TOPICS

Build Wealth Faster by Investing in Your Debt Are you on track to achieve the kind of lifestyle and retirement you truly desire?

Are you getting ahead as fast as you want? If you answered no, you are not alone. According to the Social Security Board, only 3% of Americans are financially independent at age 65. That means conventional financial strategies are failing the other 97% of the population!

Why not consider an alternative approach? This seminar teaches practical, powerful and proven strategies that will allow you to take complete control of your finances, once and for all; eliminate all your consumer debt - credit cards, car loans, etc - in just 1 - 4 years; then eliminate your 30 year mortgage in another 3 - 5 years; save more than $100,000 in scheduled interest payments; and accumulate savings at the same time! How much would your quality of life improve if you had no mortgage payments, no credit card payments, and no debt whatsoever? Attend this seminar and you will wonder no more! This seminar is strictly educational. No investments, business opportunities or get-rich-quick schemes will be promoted or sold. Tuition includes a workbook. The optional textbook, Invest in Your Debt, will be available to purchase from the instructor for $47. Register for both this class and Take Control of Your Money and save!

Total tuition for both courses is $129.

Date: Saturday, April 5 Time: 9 a.m. – noon Registration Deadline: March 31 CRN: 70576 Fee: $69 Instructor: Greg Frank, Personal Financial Fitness Trainer, Debt Elimination & Credit Care Specialist

Take Control of Your Money

Learn how to get ahead, and stay ahead, once and for all! Do you earn a good income but still find yourself struggling to get ahead? Do you sometimes have “more month than money”? It’s not your fault. The problem is that in school you learned about the War of 1812, not “Money Management 101”! How can you expect to be successful without the proper knowledge and tools? This workshop will empower you to take complete control of your money and consistently make choices that support your financial goals by working with the “Conscious Spending Process”. By attending this workshop you will discover the reasons most people fail financially; develop the foundational skills of financially successful people; learn to be “financially congruent” by understanding and applying the Law of Attraction and Process of Manifestation; gain insight into your hidden “Spending Personality”; and learn a simple, effective method of money management that combines 21st century technology with old fashioned common sense. You will leave with a “Financial Tool Box” that, when applied, will dramatically and permanently change your relationship with money and allow you to move forward with confidence toward your financial goals and the life of your dreams. Tuition includes handout materials. Optional textbook will be available to purchase from the instructor for $49.

Register for both this class and Build Wealth Faster by Investing in Your Debt and save! Total tuition for both courses is $129.

Big Game Hunting in the Development Office–How to Use Planned Giving to Capture What Your Organization Needs

Too often development officers try to incorporate planned giving into their efforts by viewing it as a separate tool to assist with fundraising. According to many seasoned practitioners, however, this is not the best approach. Joe Bull, 2005 Chair of the Board of Directors of the National Council on Planned Giving, suggests that, “Planned giving is an active process.” Come hear about how Collegiate School implements this process and thereby consistently enjoys $1-3 million every year in deferred giving activity.

How does pursuing planned gifts differ from raising outright/capital gifts? How does a small shop raise these gifts without a dedicated planned giving officer?

What can a CEO do to help? What must a governing board do to promote success? Our study will also provide a working knowledge of each of the eight most common gifts in this area, including their main tax features.

Dates: Tuesdays, April 1–8 Time: 9 a.m.–noon CRN: 70669 Fee: $150 CEUs: 0.6 Instructor: Stephen A. Hart, Esq., Director of Planned Giving, Collegiate School

The Annual Fund – Creating a Comprehensive Program

A well-run annual giving program not only provides critical funds to operate not-for-profit organizations but also serves as the platform for major gifts, capital campaigns, planned giving, and endowments. Yet many organizations operate the annual fund primarily through mailings and special events that only scratch at the surface of fundraising potential.

The best annual funds know their donors and they know fundraising takes a village. They have a good development team of board members, chief executive, and development staff who know their roles and pull their weight in fundraising.

They are strategic in the development of an annual fund campaign plan.

They view the various methods—direct mail, events, grant process, personalized contacts—not as separate activities but as parts of a total program to acquire, keep, and upgrade donors over their lifetime. They analyze fundraising methods and set realistic goals. They have a personalized component—some one-onone aspect.

This course will focus on: • Identifying your annual fund strategies and identifying the techniques for success • Defining and communicating the annual fund case – the fundraiser’s best friend • Building your annual fund constituency • Maximizing relationships – the role of the board, volunteer and staff in the annual fund.

Dates: Wednesdays, April 23–May 7 Time: 8:30 a.m.–noon CRN: 70652 Fee: $240 CEUs: 1.05 Instructor: Lisa Freeman Nancy Trego, CFRE, EL Freeman - CFRE, YMCA of Greater Richmond YMCA

NEW! Tragedy has always fascinated people, and the theatre has always been a place where people enjoy hearing and watching a tragedy unfold. While projecting themselves into the story being told, they suspend their breathing, ask “And then what happened?” and reflect on the stories of life that unfold on the stage. This experience begins in the remote 5th century B.C. in Greece. The first great playwrights are three ancient Greek poets to whom the more commonly well-known Shakespeare is in great debt: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Dialectic relationships between destiny and human freedom, violation and defense of human rights, pursuit of truth, questioning about what truth and justice are, inevitability of suffering, fragility of the human condition, gender roles and more - these are among the basic issues the ancient Greek tragedies propose to any audience. This course will survey some of the most famous ancient Greek tragedies with the purpose both to analyze them in their cultural context, and to identify in them the roots of basic life questions. The influence on modern theatre and the possible comparison with Shakespeare’s productions will be an additional object of analysis. We will also look at the tragic story of Oedipus, the complex study of the human psyche and explore its conflicting philosophical and metaphysical dimensions. Some videos of ancient Greek performances will also be shown in class.

Our guide for the seminar is Dr. Ken Ostrand. An award-winning historian and frequent visitor to Egypt where he leads educational tours, he’ll guide us into and around the temples, from giant ones like Karnak, to ones smaller than a church.

We’ll examine some of their sacred structures, including obelisks, massive pylon towers and enormous statues, and examine their influence on later religions.

HISTORY

Jackson Ward: A History of African American Growth and Prosperity in 20th Century Richmond

NEW! During its “heyday”, Richmond’s Jackson Ward district was often called the “black belt” of Richmond, or “Little Africa.” Jackson Ward is the birthplace of tapdance legend Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, the neighborhood that housed Richmond’s first public high school for African Americans, and the district where Maggie L. Walker lived and worked as the first woman to charter a bank in the United States. With its origin as a political entity in the late 1800’s, Jackson Ward became the center of African American religious life and education and, indeed, the economic, social and political hub of central Virginia’s African American population in the early 20th century. This course will take a look at this exciting and prosperous era of Richmond’s African American history through photographs, newspaper articles, various readings and presentations, and a walking tour.

LBGB Home Gardener’s Series.

Nature’s practical gift of silver plants brings a magical dimension to our gardens. Silver at its purest isn’t a color at all, but the very essence of light. It is elusive, changing with light and season. Silver can be a retiring background or the star of the show, garish or subtle, soothing or distinctly exciting. In this program, Bussolini will discuss and show slides of the many inventive ways gardeners across the United States have used these stalwart plants in containers, borders or the larger landscape. Special attention is given to the use of color and texture to create exciting combinations and a brief discussion of historical uses. After the lecture, tour the Garden with a map of the most interesting winter landscapes, and a plant list to make notes for your own garden. This class meets at Lewis

Hayward looks closely at how gardeners can use small buildings and structures such as gazeboes and arbors, pergolas and bridges, fences and decks to help find just the right place for new gardens.

Learn how these structures ease the design process by helping you see how to develop new gardens in relation to existing gardens and in relation to existing or new structures.

Furthermore, when you see how built structures in your garden provide anchors, centers and starting places for good garden design, you gain confidence as you design your own gardens.

Valuable Professors.

Sheila was selected for her continued dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to continuing education in the Landscape Design Certificate Program.

While attending the University of Maryland and studying horticulture, Sheila worked for The National Arboretum in Washington D.C. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology and her Master of Science in Biology with a focus of botany from University of Richmond.

Sheila began teaching Introduction to Plants, a botany class in the Landscape Design Certificate Program, more than 12 years ago, first with George Washington University and then with University of Richmond in 2003. She learned early on when teaching Introduction to Plants that she could better share this fascinating science with hands-on laboratory experiences.

In 2004 Sheila began teaching some of the Woody Landscape Plant classes. She approached these classes with the same enthusiasm as her botany classes and facilitated the creation of a website for woody plant identification for her students.

Sheila continues to introduce more handson experience in her labs and Woody Landscape Plant classes. She has recently added two workshops: one on propagation for early fall plants and another on reviewing the standards that identify quality plant material and availability. Sheila’s classes utilize Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden as an outdoor classroom in order to study a mature and vast plant collection.

The University of Richmond is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the associate, baccalaureate, master and juris doctor degrees. The several colleges and schools of the University award no degrees individually. The University of Richmond confers all degrees for work done in any one of the schools.

University of Richmond Alumni

University of Richmond alumni with a baccalaureate or advanced degree are entitled to a 25% discount on ONE class per semester. Alumni discount does not apply to travel programs, conferences, special programs, membership fees, certificate programs or application fees.

This discount may only be used by alumni (not their spouses or children).

Some courses in this catalog qualify for CEUs (Continuing Education Units).

CEUs are a way of measuring and officially recognizing the time and effort you have put into your education for your job or profession. The Office of the University Registrar will maintain a record of your CEUs and provide you with a transcript upon request. So, what do you do with a CEU? As you update your credentials, are in line for a transfer, promotion or evaluation of your current position, or want to make a vocational change or explore a new career, the CEUs demonstrate the time, energy and interest you have shown in broadening your horizons.

Registration Deadlines

It is extremely important that you register at least one week prior to the start of the course. Registration deadlines have been put in place to allow for an accurate enrollment count needed for planning classroom needs, course materials, and food or travel logistics related to the class. If you submit your registration after the deadline, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a space in the course.
