Laura Rotunno, associate professor of English at Penn State Altoona, kicked off the first STAR (Spotlight on Teaching and Research) Series Thursday, October 18, 2012. Her talk focused on Victorian correspondence and was titled "'Letters!' ... 'I believe [she] dreams in letters!': Enveloping My Teaching in My Research."

The STAR Series gives faculty the opportunity to share how their research influences their teaching and vice versa. The series is co-sponsored by the English and Honors programs. The next STAR presentation is "Every Map Has a Story" by Professor Timothy Dolney on Dec. 6. All talks are held at noon in the Fireside Lounge of the Slep Student Center and are free and open to the campus community.
