panopticon - pan-OP-tih-kahn - "a building, such as a library, so arranged that all parts of the interior are visible from a single point."

Welcome to my small corner of the 'verse, filled with information of an educational, musical, and personal nature.

As an Assistant Professor in the School of Broadcast & Cinematic Arts at Central Michigan University, this site is also a portal to websites constructed as supplemental resources for various courses. The "Education" link at the top will lead you to that information. If you'd like to get in touch with me for whatever reason (as my students will attest), e-mail is absolutely the best way.

NBS-AERho members can find Dr. Smith's 2016 convention presentation here!
