Rebecca Lauck Cleary
Rebecca earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in Southern Studies, both from the University of Mississippi. She is the Communications Specialist at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture and each fall, she teaches a FASTrack section of EDHE 105: The Freshman Year Experience, designed to help first-year students adjust to the university.
At the Center, she writes news releases about the wide array of activities and events happening in and around Barnard Observatory, as well as news and feature articles for the Southern Register on topics ranging from profiles of interesting alumni to the research conducted by visiting scholars. She handles the Center’s social media, helps students with class registration, and assists with the Oxford Conference for the Book and the Eudora Welty Creative Writing contest.
She has long been a fan of the OCB and has attended the conference since the early 2000s.
She is fond of this quote: “We lose the habit of reading because we’re afraid of wasting our time. We think we need to be productive and ‘on the go’ at all times. But people are not machines, and you are nourished by naps and fiction and basking in the sunlight, no less than by food and drink.”
