Randall Hill Gets Top Prof Vote Of SLU Seniors For The Second Time

CANTON - St. Lawrence University Associate Professor of Performance and Communication Arts Randall T. Hill is the recipient of this year's Owen D. Young Outstanding Faculty Award, as voted by members of the senior class. The award is the only one given to faculty that is chosen by students.

It is the second time that Hill has received the award; he also was chosen in 2007. The winner of the award gives a "last lecture" during the week prior to Commencement. Hill will give the talk, titled "A Couple of Wishes, a Little Advice, and a Prayer," on Monday, May 10, at 8 p.m. in Gunnison Memorial Chapel.

A member of the University faculty since 1991, Hill earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Ph.D. from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

In addition to teaching courses in the performance and communication arts department, Hill is the coordinator of St. Lawrence's Native American studies program. He is working on two books, one on an 1864 massacre by U.S. Cavalry troops of a Native American village, and the other a collection of personal narratives from his tribe, the Lumbee Band of the Cheraw Nation.
