In 1985, I entered Francis Marion University (then Francis Marion College) where I majored in health physics, a multidisciplinary degree that is aimed at protection of workers and the public from harmful effects of radiation while allowing beneficial uses of the radiation.
Following graduation in 1989, I moved to College Station, TX to attend Texas A&M University. My second year at A&M, I was asked to take on teaching responsibilities, which led to my being reclassified as an instructor teaching senior-level undergraduate classes in radiological engineering and radiation detection and instrumentation.
My research at A&M was of a practical experimental nature. For my PhD research, I experimented with novel ways to develop a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) material that would have a flat energy response. Through design of a new type of optical filter on a standard TLD reader, I was able to achieve this purpose, thus achieving what had never been done before. Unfortunately, the sensitivity of this device could not rival the existing technology; so a commercial system based on this technology was never developed.
After graduating with my PhD, I entered the workforce; I've had some interesting jobs over the years, such as the following;
- Consultant: Halliburton NUS
- Lead Technical Specialist: Carolina Power & Light
- Consultant: Tetra Tech
- Consultant: Dade Moeller & Associates
At Carolina Power and Light Company, I was the technical lead responsible for the TLD program at CP&L's three nuclear plants. It was enjoyable and involved quite a bit of technical work and administrative work to maintain reliable records for annual dose reports as well as internal planning documents.
During my time as a consultant, I worked as project manager or deputy project manager on several high-profile projects for the Department of Energy. Most of them pertained to environmental impact statements at various locations. That required me to become fluent in several discipline areas so that I could oversee the preparation of technical sections of the document and review the work of the various subject matter experts.
In addition, I am a certified health physicist (CHP); this is a national professional certification for the multidisciplinary field of health physics. I served for 4 years on the Part II Exam Panel of the American Board of Health Physics, which involved both writing and grading part of the certification exam for other health physicists who were interested in becoming CHPs.

Having worked with clay for over thirty years, his art work has been exhibited in juried and invitational exhibitions across the nation. In writing about his work Gray states, “My work might best be seen as metaphorical portraits of myself and those important to me. Whether a vessel, sculpture, or wall piece, my work often explores the perception of identity and ones place in, or connection to, larger societal constructs. Of particular interest to me are those places or moments when we find ourselves isolated or removed from others. The barriers that separate us, one from another, can be literal or figurative, sheltering or isolating, imposed or self-created. By looking at these places, these moments, I hope to comment on both the universal and individual experiences that make up this thing we call self."

Bio
Tim Hanson joined the FMU faculty in 1996 after spending nearly 20 years as a newspaper writer, wire service reporter, magazine editor, news bureau chief and foreign correspondent.
After earning his bachelor's degree in journalism from Eastern Washington University, Hanson worked as a reporter for three newspapers in the Northwest - including a five-year stint with The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Washington - before moving to Asia in 1985.
Hanson lived and worked in Asia for nearly a decade. He served as News Bureau Chief for Pacific Stars & Stripes in the Philippines and later as that paper's Assistant Pacific Editor in Tokyo. He also was South Asia Correspondent for United Press International in New Delhi and, in Hong Kong, was Managing Editor of The Reader's Digest (Asian Edition).
During his time in Asia, Hanson covered a variety of stories, including the People Power Revolution in the Philippines, the fall of Prime Minister V.P. Singh's government in India, the long-running Tamil revolt in Sri Lanka, and the Pro-Democracy Movement in Nepal.
Returning to the United States in 1994, Hanson accepted a teaching fellowship at the University of Montana's School of Journalism in Missoula where he earned his master's degree in journalism.
Hanson has received several writing and reporting awards, including one for investigative reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists. That award stemmed from a series of articles Hanson wrote about a man who had been arrested for kidnapping and armed robbery. Hanson's reporting proved that police had arrested the wrong man.

Education
M.F.A., University of Memphis
Biography
Early on Professor Jeffcoat was interested in art and design. Eventually, his high school art teacher encouraged him to study Graphic Design and, even though he has worked in other disciplines, design is what makes him come alive.
He graduated from The University Of South Alabama with a BFA degree (1994) in Graphic Design. After graduation he worked as an Art Director for Denson/Reed Marketing, and eventually as an account executive for Lewis Communications both in Mobile, Alabama. Most recently Charles completed a Master Of Fine Arts degree from The University Of Memphis in 2005.
Professor Jeffcoat was appointed to the Graphic Design faculty at Francis Marion in fall 2006. Prior to this appointment, Charles was an Adjunct Professor of Graphic Design at The University of Memphis in Tennessee from 2003-2006 and at The University of South Alabama from 2001-2003. Throughout his adjunct career he maintained a professional freelance design business through his own company Charles Jeffcoat Studio.
His clients included the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, The National Civil Rights Museum, Art Museum of the University of Memphis, Movie Gallery, Sony Music, Universal Records, and Warner Music. He has also donated his time and design work to several charitable organizations including St Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the National Civil Rights Museum. His work has been recognized by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and the Advertising Federation of Mobile.
Besides his applied professional design practice, his current research is in the cross-mediation of hypertextual environments and the two-dimensional printed book. This exploration and research will cause us to ask specific questions concerning narrative, authorship, linearity, and believability and from it we can gain knowledge applicable to the future of both the two-dimensional printed book and the hypertextual environment.

I started photography as an undergraduate student at Barton College in 2000 and went on to East Carolina University to receive my Master of Fine Arts Degree in Photography in 2004. It was at ECCU that I discovered a passion for teaching photography.
In 2004, I began my teaching career at Lenoir Community College in Kinston, North Carolina. I taught as an Art Instructor at LCC until December of 2012. In January of 2012, I began teaching photography at Francis Marion University in Florence, South Carolina. I teach classes ranging from digital, analog, and alternative processes. Yes, I'm keeping the darkroom alive!
What I love about teaching is that you never stop learning....and photography is one of those things that you never stop learning. Making art through image based media is what I do.
Outside of higher education I offer photography services that include wedding photography and portraiture and serve the Carolinas and beyond.

Education
B.A., Wake Forest University
Biography
A native of Florence, South Carolina, Joe Sallenger spent much of his childhood on the farm that would later become Francis Marion University. After "going north" to school (Wake Forest University) and a spot of travel through Europe and the United States, Joe returned to the Pee Dee region with the realization that "folks are pretty much folks everywhere you go, some just talk funnier than others."
When the Hyman Fine Arts Center was constructed at Francis Marion (College), Fine Arts Chairman Jack Baker convinced Joe to take up residence in the "fish tank" off the breezeway, where he remains to this day. He tries to keep track of the Art, Music and Theatre faculty, manage various auditoriums, dabble in a bit of Art and Flute Collecting, and help out at the Anglican Church of Our Saviour. He is learning how to eat right with a whole food plant base diet. Joe also assists his wife Donna in her mission to care for Homeless Animals, dreams about the Bands he has played in, and keeps his British (Morris Minor) truck and log cabin from falling apart around him.
In an effort to preserve some of the history of the Mars Bluff region east of Florence, South Carolina, Joe has improved the internet presence of Amelia Wallace Vernon's project to document the lives of African Americans in rural South Carolina through the preservation of slave built Hewn Timber Cabins and related artifacts. He has also published a book based on his grandmother's remembrances throughout the 1900s, Mars Bluff As I Remember It by Amelia Mellichamp Wallace and Joseph Wilds Sallenger.

Dr. Sargent JesseDr. Jesse Sargent Associate Professor of Psychology jsargent@fmarion.edu Phone843-661-1634 DepartmentsPsychologyOfficeCEMC 109-EAdditional information
Bio
Jesse Sargent earned his B.A. from the University of Vermont in 1991 and his Ph.D. from George Washington University in 2009. After a three year post-doctoral fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis, he joined the faculty at Francis Marion in the fall of 2012.
Dr. Sargent is an experimental cognitive psychologist who studies memory and the brain. His focus is on spatial cognition. He is interested in how humans organize, store and manipulate mental representations of spatial locations on both larger, environmental scales (e.g. where is the library?) and smaller, figural scales (e.g., where was that file on my desktop?). Dr. Sargent’s lab collects behavioral and electrophysiological data from younger and older adults in order to understand how our brains segment and group visuospatial information, and how those processes affect memory capacity as we age.
Each semester, a small group of students (around 7, +/- 2) participate in Dr. Sargent’s lab. Research articles are discussed in weekly lab meetings and research assistants are trained to run participants in ongoing behavioral and electroencephalography (EEG) studies. Data are examined and interpreted with an eye towards designing subsequent experiments and shaping the future of the research program. Independent, student research projects are also possible for highly motivated students. Students interested in gaining research experience in cognitive neuroscience are encouraged to talk with Dr. Sargent.

Bachelor of Arts, Theatre May 1996- Mississippi University for Women, Columbus
Biography
Originally from Pensacola, FL., I have been designing in educational and professional theaters since 1992. I received my BA degree in Theatre from Mississippi University for Women and my MFA degree in Costume Design from The University of Tennessee. I have also trained at the Skoulli Art School with Frank Hänig.
As a Costume Designer and Theatre Artist, I strive to create designs that inform and enhance the production through the development of character as supported by the text. I am at my best working in a collaborative environment where I can develop my designs with the director and actors as the characters evolve through the rehearsal process. I also enjoy the challenge of creating designs in a fast-paced repertory setting.
As an Educator, I believe in fostering students’ passion and talents in a nurturing and challenging environment. Whenever possible I create opportunities for learner-centered practical application of theory. I feel that students learn best when permitted to take risks and learn from their mistakes as well as their successes. It is the educator’s responsibility to share their knowledge and to provide the student with clear guidelines and a method of evaluation and assessment. The why is as important as the how.
As a Costume Technologist I have experience in all levels and types of costume and costume craft construction from draping to tailoring to millinery. I am a draper with a particular interest in corsetry.

- Biology 205 Human Anatomy
- Biology 499 Senior Seminar
- Biology 309 Introduction to Neuroscience
Research Interests:
My primary research interest is in better understanding interpersonal interactions and the role of empathy in these interactions. To better understand these behaviors I use a rat model of pro-social behavior. Using a pro-social task we measure various behaviors related to empathy. The task uses a restrainer placed into a larger arena. The restrainer contains one rat (trapped rat) and the arena contains one rat (free rat). The free rat has the ability to open the restrainer door to release the trapped rat. Release of the trapped rat is measured as an empathy-like behavior. Using this task we can assess how various factors, such as maternal care, affect empathy-like behavior.
I also have concurrent human research being conducted. This research is also focused on interpersonal interactions and is conducted primarily on college students through the use of survey analysis.

Research Interests:
I am fascinated by what I see around me. I like to understand why one species looks like or does this, while another species looks or does something different. I am interested in how natural selection pressures (such as diseases) may influence the evolution of a trait, such as the immune system, within a host species. I am also interested in how sexual selection (i.e. mate choice) influences the evolution of traits. In some instances, natural and sexual selection affect the same trait. Take for instance the immune system. You would expect that host’s immune systems evolve to best protect the host. You might also hypothesize that females would choose males with a “good” immune system, so those genes are passed to her offspring. Testing these hypotheses in wild systems is of great interest to me, and can help explain how the evolution of disease, immunity, and mate choice are intertwined.
