During summer 2000, JEANNE GODDARD taught dance classes at CRS
Barn Studio, and performed with June Finch/Danceworks in Provincetown,
Massachusetts, and with Jill Becker on the Ithaca Commons and in the lobby
of the Clinton House. She was artistic director, choreographer, and performer
in "Dances with Friends," a collaborative concert at Wells College with
pianists Nancy and Kim Gilbertson, choreographer Jean McGregor of Ithaca
College, and visual artist Mary Reynolds of Ithaca. Professor Goddard choreographed
three productions for Tri-Cities Opera in Binghamton, New York, "Barber
of Seville," "Amahl and the Night Visitors," and "Merry Wives of Windsor."
She served as outside professional evaluator for Hobart & William Smith
Colleges’ faculty dance concert. During this academic year, Professor Goddard’s
proudest moment was sharing the stage of the Clemens Center in Elmira,
New York, with illustrious dancers and choreographers from New York City
and the Fingerlakes/Southern Tier Regions in Jamie Cunningham’s and Tina
Croll’s "From the Horse’s Mouth." Participation was by invitation only—she
sang a song about a mouse. Professor Goddard and partner Steven Stull have
been invited to Bishkek, Kyrgysztan, to give a series of performances and
master classes beginning May 23, 2001. Later they will tour the countryside
by auto and horseback, staying in yurts and drinking fermented wheat mash.

entitled, "From Bedel to Registrar: The Evolution of a Profession." The
presentation was made in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at the annual meeting
of the Middle States Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers
of Admissions (MSACROA) in November, 1999. Ms. Leybold-Taylor's talk traced
the history of the role of the registrar (formerly called "bedel") from
the Middle Ages through the present. In the summer of 2000, the text of
the presentation was published in the MSACROA newsletter. It also appeared,
by special invitation of its editor, in the spring 2001 issue of the newsletter
for the Wisconsin Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
