Just when I thought this year was already terrible enough with the passing of John Bear, we have lost yet another memorable and universally beloved individual within the education community. For any individual that has had the pleasure of having Dr. Z during their time at UMPI, many will recognize the passion and effort he put into his work, and for providing an exceptional educational experience for both on-campus and YourPace students. I've had the pleasure of meeting him in-person, and his energy and enthusiasm was truly something to behold when it came to discussing about his research interests and the history program at UMPI.

From President Rice:

"Dear Campus Community,

It is with profound sadness that I share news of the passing of Dr. John Zaborney, Professor of History, who passed away today, August 31, after a period of serious illness which he faced with the same determination and fortitude that defined his work as a scholar, colleague, and mentor.  Some of you may have known of his illness; all of us knew how engaged John was, until very recently, in designing, developing, and teaching courses and programs, including the Master of Arts in American Studies that has just completed its initial year.  The guidance and leadership that John provided students and colleagues alike for so long makes his loss especially difficult.  Our thoughts, especially, are with Dr. Kim Sebold, both his life partner and lifetime colleague; who has shown such grace, care, and perseverance these last few months, not just for John, but for his students, and all those with whom he worked.
John joined the UMPI faculty on September 1, 1997, as an Assistant Professor of History. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2004 and to Professor in 2013.  He coordinated the History and Political Science program for many years, up until his passing, and served as its institutional memory through significant disciplinary and institutional change.  He ensured that the humanities would reach ever larger populations of students, even in the most challenging of times, by leading the move to put History and Political Science online and then, in 2020, adding it to UMPI’s YourPace programming, resulting in over 230 total majors last year, making it the largest such program in the entirety of the UMS.

Above all, John was an outstanding and accomplished scholar. His book, Slaves for Hire: Renting Enslaved Laborers in Antebellum Virginia (Louisiana State University Press, 2012), was the first sustained study of its subject, and it was grounded in painstaking research of primary sources, the product of years spent with letters, account books, diaries, and court records. Prevailing scholarship had treated the hiring-out of enslaved people as a marginal practice, but John demonstrated how it worked not to weaken the institution of slavery but to further entrench it — knitting slaveholders and non-slaveholders alike into slavery's economy so thoroughly that Virginia's path toward secession becomes, in his telling, difficult to imagine otherwise. More recently, he had turned to the other laborers of that same world — the working-class men and "plain folk" of pre-Civil War Virginia who left few monuments and fewer papers — and he was at work on that research as a second book through this past year. The scholar and the teacher were never separate people for John: the same conviction animated both, that the past is not a refuge from the present but the only ground on which the present can be understood.

We are so grateful for what John gave to our community and the thousands of students he served during his time with us.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had experience completing the CBE BS in either Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education at ETAMU. If so I was wondering if you could tell me your experiences with how "acceleratable" it is. I already have a previous Bachelors degree and I don‘t have need for the licensure pathway so in your opinion could it be done in 1-2 terms? Also, does anyone know if the Texas Government course is waived with other GE requirements for a second bachelors?
Thanks for all the help!

I wanted to ask, anyone attend California Coast University for their doctorate? Just looking to see whats cheap even if it is Nationally Accredited

no, this is not spam, but you thought it was didn't you LOL 

saw this and thought it might be interesting for anyone in the NYC area who is interested in becoming a teacher 
although these are not teaching positions, they do involve monitoring students 
so they might be useful for someone wanting to gain experience 
also, to become a substitute teacher in NYC I believe you do not need a teacher certificate, but you do have to have a recommendation  
this would be a way for people to get to know you and get that recommendation

It's not usually discussed about too often, but it is listed on the CBE wiki. Has anyone tried the college before or graduated from their CBE program?

Now considering it, ETAMU has been discussed about quite a lot here on this forum. Once UoP received RA status, a spot here on the forum opened up for it. I feel like there is more discussion and promise for ETAMU compared to UoP's given stigma.

Please just imagine  a string of hearts and smiley faces.

Wishing everyone well.

I'm ahead of schedule with my Basic Program reading. Very eager for the fall term to begin in October.
