National honorary taps 
Florida Southern College dean

LAKELAND, Fla. (Sept. 29, 2003) - Dr. Susan P. Conner, vice president and dean of Florida Southern College, has been tapped for membership in Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK), the national leadership honorary. The Florida Southern Circle of ODK awards this highly competitive honor to only one member of the faculty or administration in any given year. 

ODK, the nation's top collegiate honor society recognizing responsible leadership, taps members for leadership and service in extracurricular areas, including scholarship, athletics and military; campus or community service; social and religious activities; campus government; journalism, speech, and the mass media; and creative and performing arts. 

Since coming to Florida Southern in 2001, Conner has worked closely with faculty and administrators to bring coherence and clarity to college policies. A strong advocate for the liberal arts, she continues to teach history in addition to her duties in the administration of the college. She has sought to bring value to the education of students by encouraging good teaching on the part of the faculty and quality in course offerings. 

Conner received her bachelor's degree from Armstrong State College, Savannah, Ga., and earned her master's and doctorate from Florida State University. Before joining FSC, she served as associate dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences at Central Michigan University (CMU). A published author, Conner has contributed to several books and written papers and book reviews. She has just completed a book on "The Age of Napoleon" for Greenwood Press, due out in spring 2004. She received the CMU Excellence in Teaching award in 1991 and the Outstanding Civilian Service Award from the U.S. Army in 2002.
