SFA Regents approve grant awards, merit payment

    The Stephen F. Austin State University Board of Regents approved additional grant awards totaling more than $3.7 million allocable to fiscal years 2011 and 2012 at its quarterly meeting Tuesday.

    Grant awards result from extensive faculty research and service engagement across many academic disciplines and include direct federal, federal pass through, state and private awards. To date, the university has received more than $19 million in grant funding for fiscal year 2011 and more than $13 million for fiscal year 2012.

    The Board of Regents also established a fund for the College of Liberal and Applied Arts with an anonymous gift of $70,000. The fund will be used to support academic programs throughout the college, in accordance with the donor’s wishes. A second fund was established with a $15,150 bequest from the late Norman H. Kiess, who served as an associate professor of physics in the 1960s. That fund will be used for faculty support in the physics department.

    A one-time merit payment of $500 to qualifying full-time SFA employees was approved by the board upon a recommendation by SFA president Baker Pattillo. The president said the payments are intended to show appreciation for the faculty and staff and will be distributed in mid-December.

    The Board of Regents also approved the following items at the meeting Tuesday:

  • a small class list for summer and fall 2011;
  • a European Studies Consortium led by SFA;
  • transfer of the Division of Biotechnology into the Department of Biology;
  • an antenna lease contract with New Cingular Wireless PCS;
  • a parking garage equipment replacement at a cost not to exceed $200,000;
  • policy revisions;
  • audit plan, audit charter and report;
  • and revisions to board rules and regulations.

SFA music faculty to present ‘The Complete Songs of Henri Duparc’

    Vocal and piano faculty of the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Music will present “The Complete Songs of Henri Duparc” at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24, in Cole Concert Hall as part of the Cole Performing Arts Series.

    Performers include sopranos Debbie Berry and Charlotte Davis, mezzo-sopranos Deborah Dalton and Nita Hudson, tenors Ric Berry and Bruce Fowler, baritones David Howard and Scott LaGraff, and pianist Ron Petti.

    Petti will play the piano for each of Duparc’s 17 French art songs, and each vocalist will sing either one, two or three selections as either a soloist or as part of a duet.

    “While this collection constitutes nearly all of Duparc’s compositional output, the songs are miniature masterpieces,” said Petti. “Teeming with beautiful melody, lush harmonies within the piano accompaniment, and dramatic poetry, they can hold their own against songs of the greatest master composers, including Schubert, Brahms, Schumann, Debussy and Fauré.”

    Among the 17 songs, “Chanson triste,” “Phidylé,” “Extase” and “L’invitation au voyage” are probably the most recongnizable, Petti added.

    At the beginning of the concert, LaGraff will give a short, informative lecture on the composer and the songs.

    During the concert, English translations of the songs’ French text will be projected.

    The recital is a joint presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts and School of Music.

    Cole Concert Hall is located in the Wright Music Building, 2210 Alumni Drive, on the SFA campus.

    Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for students. For tickets or more information, please go to www.finearts.sfasu.edu or call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS.
