Development Grant Virginia Tech has named its $100 million arts center building in tribute to artist and
philanthropist Patricia Buckley Moss, whose recent donation in support of the center is one of the largest
gifts the university ever has received. The Moss Arts Center is the new name. In her advocacy work,
Moss, who self-identifies as dyslexic, has cited her personal story of struggling in school until an openminded teacher recognized her artistic potential. Moss wound up enrolling in a high school for the fine
arts and, later, in New York's Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. "The arts can

Tyler Love, Ph.D. candidate in Integrative STEM education, presented at the first annual joint conference
between the Technology and Engineering Educators Association of Maryland (TEEAM) and the
Maryland Association of Science Teachers (MAST) on October 18th in Baltimore, MD. He also
presented at the annual Technology and Engineering Education Association of Pennsylvania (TEEAP)
conference on November 7th in Harrisburg, PA. Love's presentation topics for both of these conferences
were Examining Case Law Regarding STEM Education Laboratory Accidents (specific to each state),
and Methods to Address Safety and Liability in these settings. He is also scheduled to present on this
topic from a national perspective at the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association
(ITEEA) in Orlando, FL this March.
Love's presentations on tort law, safety, and liability in STEM education laboratories are a result from his
work in Dr. Steve Janosik's Higher Education Law courses. From his coursework and collaboration with
Dr. Janosik, Love has published articles in The Journal of Technology Studies, The Technology and
Engineering Teacher, and The TEEAP Journal. He was asked to contribute to an article in Science
Scope. Most recently, Love shared his expertise in this area by serving as the lead author for the latest

Their study consisted of over 1,200 coded text segments which they overlaid with educational reform
movements within the past 100 years to show research trends within technology education and gaps
among conference research topics. On the last day of the conference Love and Michael Grubbs
(Integrative STEM education doctoral student) were inducted into membership of the MVC.
