Professorship of Art will provide outreach art education to children and adults throughout Kansas. The Catron Professorship was established by James and Norene Catron Ketcherside, McPherson, Kan., in honor of her parents. Norene Ketcherside, a retired elementary school teacher, said most elementary teachers are expected to teach art, but often lack the necessary training.
Teachers can learn to teach art.
The Ketchersides hope that the new professorship will meet the need for art education and raise the visibility of Washburn University throughout the state. This new program is a three-year dissemination partnership grant in collaboration with the University of Kansas College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The program offers free tutoring and mentoring to the under-represented student populations, with an emphasis on the development of math and writing skills. No. 1 in the upcoming MIAA Tournament.
