which my colleagues hold me and my
work in the department, and I am deeply
touched by their perennial confidence and
affirmation,” says Zeller.
Originally from Boiling Springs, Pa.,
Singiser now currently resides in
Jonesboro, Ga., with his wife and pets. He
is an associate professor of Chemistry
with a PhD from the University of
Kentucky.
“The best aspect of working at Clayton
State is the ability to make a difference in
students’ lives. The students at Clayton
State benefit greatly from the personal
interacts that they get with the faculty and
I am happy to have the opportunity to pro-
vide that interaction,” says Singiser.
He enjoys watching students grow over
their tenure at Clayton State and has been
at the university since 2008.
“Although cliché, it is an honor to be
nominated. I was nominated by my
department chair, and it is nice to be rec-
ognized within my department. To even
be considered with for the award and to be
compared to past winners is truly an
honor,” says Singiser.
Pearce-Moses began his tenure at Clayton
State in 2010 when he was hired to be the
first Director of Master of Archival
Studies Program. He holds a master’s
degree in American Studies from the
University of Texas at Austin and in
Library and Information Science from the
University of Illinois.
“When I interviewed for the position, I
asked several people what they liked
about Clayton State. They all said, `the
people,’ and now I know why. The com-
munity of students, faculty, and staff are
committed to a supportive learning envi-
ronment and are a delight to work with.
I’m not at all surprised that the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution ranked the universi-
ty in the top ten places to work in Atlanta
the last two years,” says Pearce-Moses.
A resident of Clayton County for 23 years,
he notes starting a new program has been
extraordinarily demanding but that, “at
the same time, it’s extraordinarily reward-
ing when I see the students mastering the
content, integrating the ideas from differ-
ent courses, and mastering the knowledge
and skills necessary to be a professional
archivist.”
Harris-Worelds is from Wake Forest,
N.C., but currently resides in East Point,
Ga. She has recently been promoted to

Technical Community College, a B.S. in
Health Education from the University of
North Caroline, and M.S. in Dental
Hygiene Education from the University of

rently working on her Doctorate of
