MONROE ? South Piedmont Community College has been selected to participate in the Community College Humanities Association?s ?Advancing Humanities: A National Endowment for the Humanities Bridging Cultures Project.?
SPCC was one of 18 community colleges, and the only one from North Carolina, selected from among 70 applications from 30 states.
The purpose of the project is to advance cultural and civic understanding in introductory humanities courses. The 18 colleges will receive day-to-day guidance from humanities scholars and experienced community college humanities mentors as they strengthen their curriculums and engage in faculty development and scholarship in one of five disciplines: literature, history, philosophy, religion or civic engagement.
SPCC will participate in literature. Its three-person team will consist of Dean of Arts and Sciences Valerie Jones and English instructors Sherri Breitigan and Tammy Frailly.
The project will pay travel expenses for two of the team members to attend the National Bridging Cultures Conference on Sept. 27 to 29 in Washington, D.C., and for one to attend the same conference in December 2013 at a location yet to be determined. The project will provide stipends for Breitigan and Frailly to pursue project tasks and independent scholarship to strengthen preparation and enrich their teaching.
At the conference in September, SPCC?s team will work with mentors and scholars there to begin developing a plan to advance cultural understanding toward building a community and begin developing an action plan for implementation during the project?s 18-month period.
The impetus for SPCC to apply for the program was a course that will be new at SPCC next spring. English 262, World Literature II, will introduce selected works from the Pacific, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas from the 18th century to the present. Many of these are works SPCC instructors have not taught before and the college wanted to ensure faculty could help its students ? many of whom have had little exposure to diverse religions, socioeconomic classes and ethnicities ? gain an appreciation for the importance of intercultural understanding. This also will benefit many of these students who later transfer to four-year universities and move farther out of their comfort zones.

The concept is brilliant: Axe-swinging Abraham Lincoln, that solemn face on our penny, out there kicking vampire butt and taking names. Yet "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," based on Seth Grahame-Smith's book, doesn't live up to its wild and weird theme.
The film begins with a young Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) trying to protect a slave friend, Will, from a whipping. Turns out that the creep with the whip has a secret life, and soon Lincoln's mother dies -- not of the "milk fever" we learn about in history books, but of a vampire bite. When Abe gets older, he teams up with a man who teaches him how to hunt down vampires, and all through a job as a store clerk, legal studies and his courtship of Mary Todd, he spends his nights out defanging the creatures.
You know part of the story: Lincoln ascends to the presidency and the nation is torn apart in the Civil War. But in the movie's universe, the vampires need slavery to continue so they can have a steady food source, and thus throw in on the Confederacy's side. Lincoln and his posse -- including now-grown Will (Anthony Mackie) -- can't let that happen, for the nation's sake and that of the human race.
There are fun elements in the film, including one great line about the Underground Railroad and numerous appearances by familiar names out of our history books.
But nothing really comes together. Benjamin Walker plays young Lincoln with a nice amount of gravitas, but he never makes you really root for him, staying as remote as a five-dollar bill . The vampires are pretty much interchangeable, with veiny gray skin and "Matrix"-meets-"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" moves. The movie didn't need to be in 3-D, but the technology is inoffensive here, with a few bullets zinging their way at the audience and some beautiful early Washington scenery.
It's a shame this movie wasn't livelier. It truly has the greatest film title outside of "Snakes on a Plane" -- which, come to think of it, couldn't live up to its promise, either.
