Diane Elizabeth Boyd   PhD   2002
dboyd@pilot.lsus.edu

Fall 2004 marks the beginning of my third year as an Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University-Shreveport. Here I teach upper-division film and eighteenth-century literature courses and have twice been honored by my students as a "Teacher of the Year." In addition to my teaching I serve as the Director of the Teaching, Leadership, and Technology Center (a position I earned mostly on the auspices of my training while at Auburn--who knew lugging computers around Haley Center could prove to be such valuable job experience?) As the Director of the TLTC, I coordinate faculty development events, facilitate our Leadership Academy, and encourage faculty to incorporate instructional technology in their courses.

Amy Jo Formby  MA  2000
ajformby@datasync.com
After a (very) brief stint as a public school teacher, I opted to start a business -- I am the president of Mississippi Aerospace Corporation, located in Picayune, MS. I employ a talented pool of engineers on whose skills I rely heavily for design and drafting purposes, while I design and format the tech manuals, reports, etc., that are required to provide complete documentation packages to our customers. (I am picking up a few AutoCad skills, too.) I am also learning how to write proposals and grants in order to bid government contracts. MAC is currently working on an engineering project for a South American air force, and we are pursuing other projects as well.
