EVENTS
Throughout the year, The School of Humanities and Social Sciences hosts campus events that engage and enrich the Stevenson Community.
Quad Stories allows students, faculty, and staff to share meaningful narratives about career and other experiences through deliberately crafted storytelling.
Each spring, the School hosts Bee Green Day( pictured above) in partnership with SU’ s Environmental Club. Focusing on environmental issues, Bee Green Day features presentations from local environmental centers, speakers from local foundations, and a writing contest. In addition, the students from the School of the Sciences demonstrate the creation of reef balls, concrete structures that support the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.
The Annual Brooke Peirce Visiting Scholar Lecture Series honors Brooke Peirce, a former English professor at Stevenson, who died in April 2003, leaving a gift for Stevenson’ s English department. The lecture series invites scholars, writers, and poets to speak on campus and conduct workshops with Stevenson students.
Held each semester and organized by Dr. Ingrid Tulloch( Psychology) and Dr. Alex Boulton( History), HaSS Converations on Diversity and Inclusion provide students, faculty, and staff with a space in which to share ideas, raise questions, and learn from one another’ s perspectives. The priority is to create a space for active give-and-take rather than passive absorption of information. Featured topics have included how to promote diversity and inclusion in the classroom.
Under the direction of Glenn Johnston, Ph. D., university archivist and historian, and chair of humanities and public history, Stevenson University houses a rare first edition King James Bible— one of about 175 copies in the world. The University Archives also features the entire collection from the Maryland Bible Society and other artifacts depicting historical events as well as the history of Stevenson. Students have access to the archives, gaining up-close, handson experiences right on Stevenson’ s campus. The archives is pictured above and on the public history page of this brochure.
THEATRE
Stevenson’ s Theatre department is housed in The School of Humanities and Social Sciences where students have the opportunity to explore the art of acting. Each year, students from all majors can perform in four theatrical productions in Stevenson’ s two performance venues, the Inscape Theatre and the Studio Theatre.
