Dr. Bethany Hicok, Westminster College assistant professor of English, has been selected to receive the Henderson Lectureship Award.

The Henderson Lecture was founded by Dr. Joseph R. Henderson and his wife, Elizabeth, to encourage and recognize original and continuing research and scholarship among Westminster College faculty, and to afford the opportunity for faculty to share their learning with the academic community. Henderson is a professor emeritus of education at Westminster, and served as chair of the Department of Education and director of the Graduate Program. Each year Westminster faculty members may nominate themselves or others to receive the lectureship, which includes a stipend to support a specific research project. A special faculty committee chooses from the nominees.

Hicok, who has been with Westminster College since 2001, earned her undergraduate degree from Russell Sage College, and her masters' and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. She will share her research on an American poet Marianne Moore during an Oct. 4 lecture at 7 p.m. in the McKelvey Campus Center's Witherspoon Maple room.
