Acclaimed author to speak Thursday at Culver-Stockton College’s education mini conference
CANTON, Mo. — Culver-Stockton College (C-SC) will welcome acclaimed author J.E. Stamper as the keynote speaker at its upcoming education mini conference at 9 a.m. on Thursday, March 27 in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium.
Stamper, the author of “Ugly Me,” will address C-SC students and visiting students from area schools during the event.
The description of “Ugly Me” on Amazon says the book was inspired by real students and their real-world struggles.
“It’s a raw, powerful and unforgettable journey inside the mind of a child who feels lost, broken and unworthy of love. Through the (main character’s) eyes, readers experience the heartbreaking reality of trauma, bullying, and self-doubt — but also the small moments of hope that can change everything,” the Amazon description said.
“(Stamper’s) work resonates deeply with young readers, and his message of perseverance and self-worth aligns perfectly with the values we seek to instill in our students,” C-SC associate professor of education Cindy Whiston said in a press release
The education mini conference is a semi-annual event designed to provide future educators and students with opportunities for professional development, networking and engagement with impactful voices in education. This spring’s conference will include a series of interactive activities and break-out session discussions aimed at enhancing the learning experience for all attendees.
