Applicants from the humanities and social sciences who
are involved primarily in the instruction of undergraduate
students were encouraged to apply in the hope that they
will design materials and teaching modules to be incorporated
into their courses. The Institute members will develop
a web resource.
Millis will design presentations for her art history
lectures and the HCC Global Studies Program. She also
plans to develop an art installation based on the experience.
Millis credits Dr. Elaine Adams for sharing the application
Millis has been with Houston Community College since
1982--as a student, music instructor, first box office
and publicity manager for the Heinen Theatre, art history
instructor, and visual artist--both as an adjunct and
full-time instructor.
A 1985 graduate of the Commercial Art/Media Technology
program of
HCC, the three-time recipient of the Bedichek Educational
Grant started the Southwest College digital art course
at Southwest College.
She wrote the text for the CD-ROM Art in Houston supported
by an early HCC Instructional Technology (IT) grant
and designed the Fine Arts Department web pages during
an HCC IT Summer Fellowship program.
As a visual artist, Millis has exhibited her work in
Chicago, at the Rockport Art Center, the Houston Center
for Contemporary Craft, and at numerous faculty exhibitions
within the HCC system. Her most recent major exhibit,
"Inconclusive: A Journey with Lymphoma" was
curated by Darryl Lauster at the HCC Northline Gallery
last spring.
