A new state historical marker about the

years ago was unveiled Sept. 20. State and college officials
dedicated the marker at a ceremony at U.Va.-Wise. The marker

local citizens and University of Virginia officials including
President Colgate W. Darden Jr.; Samuel R. Crockett,
extension services director in Southwest Virginia; and George
Zehmer, director of the extension division.
Located on the former Wise County Poor Farm, the college began
as a two-year coeducational branch of U.Va. In 1970, Clinch Valley
College awarded its first bachelor’s degrees. In 1999,
it became The University of Virginia’s College
at Wise. It is a nationally recognized public,

preparing lectures or analyzing lab results. To help faculty,
especially junior faculty, meet the challenges of academic writing,
the Teaching Resource Center and the provost’s office are
starting a new program called “Professors as Writers.” Its
interactive format of workshops, presentations and colloquia
will focus on various aspects of academic writing and publishing.
The first session, “The Challenges of Writing for Faculty
in the Humanities and Social Sciences,” will take place
Oct. 6 from 1:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. in the Newcomb Hall South
Meeting Room. It will offer an opportunity for faculty members
to voice their concerns and hear from panelists who have written
and published in their disciplines successfully. The next session
is planned to focus on faculty in the sciences and engineering.

For information, call Deryn Goodwin at 924-7458. Young researchers awarded
Two interdisciplinary
researchers at the University — Richard Kent, assistant
professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Shayn
Peirce, assistant professor in biomedical engineering — were
named to Technology Review’s 2004 list of the world’s
100 Top Young
Innovators on Sept. 20.
Selected by the editors of Technology Review, a magazine
published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and a panel of judges,
the TR100 list recognizes scientists under the age of 35 whose
work may have a profound impact on technology. They will be
honored in Boston on Sept. 29-30.
Kent, who holds a joint
appointment in engineering and medicine, conducts research
with the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering
and teaches
in the
department of emergency medicine. His research in the Center
for Applied Biomechanics, which conducts a broad array of
research related to automobile safety, focuses on
developing “smart” seat belts and airbags.
Peirce has designed complex, quantitative, predictive
computer models that have the potential to speed
up the development
of new medical treatments relating to tissue growth and repair,
such as birth defects, chronic heart disease and diabetes.
