Monday, July 28, 2008
Dr. Gregory Morris has been named a fellow of the Adena Seguine Holsinger Faculty Music Chair at Evangel University, effective 2008-2010.
The endowed chair was established in 2004 by Dr. and Mrs. J. Calvin Holsinger; their daughter, Cori Hartje; and friends of the Holsingers, in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary.
According to the Holsingers’ guidelines, the purpose of the endowment is to recognize academic excellence and foster community involvement among the music faculty, and to provide enrichment to the University and the programs within the Department of Music.
“Dr. Morris is very deserving of this honor,” said Dr. Michael Kolstad, department chairman. “He is a world-class teacher and performer, and he holds membership in the Music Teachers National Association and has worked with the local chapter of the Federated Music Clubs.”
Dr. Morris, associate professor of music in piano, has been on faculty at Evangel University since 1999. He is a 1984 graduate of Evangel, and he earned his master’s degree from Texas Christian University and his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from the University of North Texas.
Evangel University is the national Assemblies of God college of arts, sciences and professions. It is a private, coeducational university that offers more than 100 undergraduate academic programs and eight master’s programs. Evangel draws nearly 2,000 students from all 50 states and abroad.
