ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA – Winthrop University faculty members voted to elect Adam Glover, an associate professor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, for a second term as chair of Faculty Conference.
Glover was elected this month to lead the faculty and to serve as the faculty liaison to the university’s Board of Trustees.
The chair must be a full-time tenured faculty member.
Glover joined the Winthrop faculty in 2013 and has distinguished himself as a prolific scholar and teacher. Selected as the university’s 2017 Outstanding Junior Professor, his interests are in theology, philosophy, literature, 19th- and 20th-century Latin American literature and Caribbean studies.
Successful in teaching students across the academic spectrum, Glover has taught introductory to advanced level Spanish courses, as well as general education courses. In addition, Glover has co-led two study abroad experiences, one in 2013 to Chile and in 2015 to Cuba. And he has covered new ground in his department in encouraging unique undergraduate research experiences.
Other contributions to Winthrop include working on an immersion partnership with Rock Hill High School to help students earn dual credit and collaborating with other departments to create the Spanish for Law and the Helping Professions minor.
Glover holds a Ph.D. and master’s degree in Hispanic studies, both from the University of Kentucky, and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and Spanish from Georgetown College.
