Dr. Bondurant was announced as the winner of the Excellence in Teaching award at commencement exercises last May.

The Williamson Prize is given annually by Lyon to the faculty member deemed to be most outstanding in four categories: professional competence, scholarly ability, exemplary humane and Christian values, and contributions to the community.

Bondurant is the 23rd Lyon professor to receive the prize, which was established in 1979 by the Lyon Board of Trustees in memory of Lamar Williamson (1887-1974) of Monticello, Arkansas. A distinguished lawyer, businessman and civic and Presbyterian Church leader, Williamson attended Lyon College from 1901-1903 and remained a friend of the college the rest of his life.

Bondurant joined the Lyon faculty in 1996 as an assistant professor of psychology. She was granted tenure and promoted to associate professor in February. Before coming to Lyon, she was an acting assistant professor at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg, Virginia, and an adjunct instructor for the Department of Behavioral Sciences at High Point University in North Carolina. She also served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

She received her Ph.D. and master’s degree from UNC-Greensboro, majoring in social/personality psychology. She also holds a master’s degree from Appalachian State University at Boone, North Carolina, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Her research interests include gender issues and interpersonal aggression, including sexual victimization/sexual aggression, domestic violence and sexual harassment.

She has published nine articles in scholarly publications and is a frequent presenter at professional conferences. She has been a consulting editor of Psychology of Women Quarterly since 2001 and has served as an ad hoc reviewer for that publication and others. She is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Southeastern Psychological Association and the American Association of University Women.

Students from area schools will compete in 11 categories. The Old Independence Regional Museum will present a special award for a project, and a teacher of the year will be selected.

Judging will take place in the morning and an awards ceremony will be held at 1:30 p.m. in Nucor Auditorium in the Lyon Building.

Winners of the district competition go to the state contest, and state winners compete in the national contest in College Park, Maryland.

The game, in which the Scots take on Trevecca Nazarene, starts at 4 p.m. Surviving team members and families will be introduced at halftime. There will be a reception for the former players and their families after the game.

The 1938 team was known as the Arkansas College Panthers. The name of the basketball team was changed to the Scots in 1944 and Arkansas College became Lyon College in 1994.

The Panthers defeated Arkansas State Teachers College (now the University of Central Arkansas) 57-51 to win the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) state tournament in February 1938.

Lyon student gives PR a hand Jason Marzewski, Lyon associate director of public relations, and Lyon student Holly Collins are pose in the Lyon bookstore in search of appropriate attire for an up-coming advertisement in the Arkansas Scottish Festival Program. “I really enjoy working with fun, outgoing, and enthusiastic students like Holly,” Marzewski said. “I try to use actual Lyon student models as much as possible in my design projects, and when I find especially charismatic individuals, it really makes my work pop.”

The conference is organized by the Journal of International Business Studies and co-sponsored by seventeen U.S. CIBERS (Centers for International Business Education and Research).

The theme of the conference is “Democratic Capital and Globalization.”

Monday the Scots enjoyed two victories from Urbana in Panama City, Florida, 5-3 and 7-2 to improve their record to 11-8.

Tuesday, in Rome, Georgia, the Pipers lost 6-0 to Berry and the Scots fell 8-0.

Basketball

The Pipers fell 93-48 to Freed-Hardeman Thursday in TranSouth Conference action.

The Pipers shot 61 percent for the game in downing Martin Methodist 96-85 Saturday at Becknell in the regular season finale for both teams. The win gave the Pipers an 18-14 overall record and an 11-5 mark in TranSouth Conference play. The victory capped off a successful season for first-year coach David McClure.

A strong start on the defensive end and a clutch three from Marlon Banks provided the Scots with a 67-58 win over Martin Methodist Saturday at Becknell.
