THINK AGAIN Message from the Staff

New. Fresh. Exciting.

That’s what we have in store for you this fall.

And it all starts with a revamped THINK AGAIN.

As more users register online and our course offerings continue to grow, we’ve shifted away from the old-fashioned catalog with class listings. Instead, you’ll find an updated newsletter format, which helps us do several things. First, this new format lets us better share stories and more detailed information about our exciting programs and classes.

Second, it also supports sharing news about our students and instructors as well as learning outcomes.

Additionally, it reduces our use of paper and helps support the University’s sustainability pledge.

You’ll still find some course listings. In each issue, we’ll highlight a sample of NEW classes (pages 6 and 7) as well as our TOP PICKS for the semester (back cover). You’ll also find course listings throughout the catalog by topic as well as easy-to-follow links to our web pages and online catalog.

We hope you enjoy this new format! See page 5 for ways to share your feedback.

Instructor Spotlight Retired Reverend David P. Bridges, a new writing instructor, will see his fourth book published this fall, a novel titled The Broken Circle (Wipf and Stock, 2013). Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, the novel follows Dr./Maj. James Breathed as he chooses the cause of the Confederacy over medicine. The novel is filled with historically accurate battle scenes, and the characters are all real historical people. Bridges brings to the classroom not only his expertise in research and writing, but also his experience as a published novelist. Fall classes: “How to Write Family History and Biography” and “Writing Historical Fiction.”

Karen Wormald, owner of Kew Publications, is a professional writer and published author named one of the School’s most valuable instructors in 2012. As an instructor, she enjoys “hearing the light bulbs go ‘Click!’ when students realize they aren’t the hopelessly bad writers the managers who sent them to class think they are.” Teaching at Richmond has led to speaking engagements with professional groups and with state agencies.

Wormald will teach two writing classes this fall: “Business Writers’ Bootcamp” and “Power Proofreading.”

David H. Morgan has worked in publishing for over forty years as a literary agent, freelance editor, fiction editor and publishers’ sales rep. He teaches classes in fiction and nonfiction writing for publication. Morgan has helped writers become published authors—many of whom had been rejected by agents and publishing houses. As the owner of an eponymous editorial/ghostwriting business, Morgan brings years of writing experience and publishing expertise to his students. Selected fall classes: “Art and Craft of Creative Nonfiction” and “Writing a Nonfiction Book Proposal that Sells.”

Kathy Jenkins is one of the architects of our new Professional Organizing Certificate. She’s a Contributing Professional Organizer for Better Homes and Gardens’ latest book, Organize Your Home: Clutter Cures for Every Room. Catch up with Jenkins signing copies September 14 at Barnes & Noble Short Pump.

Massage Therapy Studies Program wins AMTA Scholarship for Schools In 2013 the American Massage Therapy Association introduced the AMTA Scholarship for Schools. The scholarship supports schools by providing scholarships to their massage therapy students.

AMTA awarded twenty $1,000 scholarships to selected schools. The University of Richmond was chosen as a scholarship winner based on the academic rigor of its clinical massage therapy studies program.

Chain maille jewelry and decorative pieces are made by weaving together metallic rings into decorative patterns and weaves. Our chain maille classes offer jewelry making techniques for beginners as well as more advanced artisans. From charm bracelets to necklaces and earrings, our classes give you the materials and skills to create beautiful pieces, for yourself or as gifts for others.

All of our classes result in creating a takehome piece. Students receive one-on-one attention from instructor Celeste Miller, who also provides group instruction along with individualized commentary on the pieces created. Miller focuses her courses on teaching the skills and sharing the resources needed to make your own pieces in the future.

After nearly 25 years in “Corporate America,” Miller retired to pursue her creative side. Her chemical engineering background and love for “process” attracted her to stained glass, glass mosaics and fused glass. Miller’s desire to do more than just fused glass led to a certification in Precious Metal Clay (PMC) over five years ago.

Learning chain maille became a “must” when Miller’s PMC students expressed a desire to make charm bracelets for their fine silver pieces.

A: According to Think Again instructor Alyson
