Kathleen Cheek-Milby Endowed Faculty Fellowship

 

The Kathleen Cheek-Milby Endowed Faculty Fellowship is named for Dr. Kathleen Cheek-Milby, a Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Citizenship and Education at Lynn University. From 1999 to 2007, she served as Vice President for Academic Affairs at Lynn.

Announced in Fall 2008, the Board of Trustees initially established this endowment for institution-wide faculty development on a bi-annual basis to promote faculty scholarly development in teaching and research. It was Dr. Cheek-Milby’s expressed desire that these funds be directed to support the faculty in honor of their dedication to the mission of Lynn and to excellence in international education.

  • 2020: Trauma and Resilience: An International Perspective by Jon Sperry

    2020: Trauma and Resilience: An International Perspective

    Jon Sperry

    Dr. Jon Sperry presents his research findings from his Kathleen Cheek-Milby Endowed Faculty Fellowship. In 2020, Lynn University Clinical Mental Health Counseling Professor Dr. Jonathan Sperry completed an evaluation of how psychological trauma therapy is applied around the world.

    Dr. Sperry's research concluded that mental health professionals in the trauma-care field outside of the United States were "largely underprepared, and not feeling competent." As a result of his sabbatical experience, he is even more committed to advocating for the development of mental health professionals worldwide.

  • 2017: Religious Tolerance and Diversity by Mark Luttio

    2017: Religious Tolerance and Diversity

    Mark Luttio

    In 2016, religious studies Professor Dr. Mark Luttio began a five-month journey to the world’s religious epicenters with nothing more than a single change of clothes and his laptop tucked into an ordinary backpack.

    Luttio traveled 100,000 miles, visiting 55 cities in 17 countries. He spent a month in Asia, two months in the Middle East, a month in Europe and a month in India. Made possible by the Kathleen Cheek-Milby Endowed Faculty Fellowship, his journey focused on promoting global understanding. Such a broad, encompassing topic becomes manageable the moment it becomes personal, he said.

    Luttio began his journey in Japan in December 2016 with J-Term students. In Kyoto, they were served by a 16th generation tea master. The tea ceremony is a Zen ritual focused on being present in the moment.
