Columbia College Chicago
The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Library at Columbia College Chicago, have awarded Scarlet Sheppard of Parkersburg first place in its 2011-2012 Undergraduate Honors Research Program.
Sheppard's paper, "The Actor's Emotional Mind," was selected unanimously by a 5-person faculty board from the 17 submissions. Among other things, the panel said: "In skillfully analyzing Konstantin Stanislavski's 'Method through the lens of Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Management,' your writing made clear the connections between the science of psychology and the creative process of acting."
In addition to a cash award, her paper will be published on the Columbia College Chicago website. Sheppard, who will be a junior in the Honors Program at Columbia College this fall, is a 2009 graduate of Parkersburg High School and is the daughter of Roger and Susan Sheppard of Parkersburg.
