in January as its Directorof Choral Activities.

The Virginia native isfinishing his doctorate inconducting at IndianaUniversity in Bloomingtonand holds a master’sdegree in choral conduct-ing from TempleUniversity inPhiladelphia. He earnedbachelor’s degrees in bothbiology and music fromthe College of William andMary in Williamsburg, Va.

“I’m enjoying my timehere,” Doerries said. “Ihave eager students whoare interested in pushingboundaries. I enjoy stu-dents that not only thinkoutside the box, but createnew ones.”

After completing hisbachelor’s degree in biolo-gy, Doerries received aresearch grant to explorechemosynthetic deep-seaecosystems. He also saileda double-masted brigan-tine tall vessel fromMassachusetts toBermuda studying themigration paths of easternAtlantic eel populations.

“It was an incredibleexperience,” he said ofsailing. “You became veryself-sufficient. You couldn’tsee the land and had tonavigate using the stars.It was just you and theocean.”

Doerries later publishedarticles in the journalsMarine Ecology and Deep-Sea Research.

While he enjoyed theexperiences and research,Doerries ultimately decid-ed to pursue his passionfor music.

“I loved biology and myparents are both profes-sors in the sciences, but Ithink I felt creatively

music was more fulfillingthan research,” he said. “Ienjoyed research, but Ididn’t derive the samepleasure from it as I didmusic.”

Doerries decided toattend graduate school inmusic and moved to NewYork City where he stud-ied at Queens Collegebefore completing hisdegree at TempleUniversity in 2007. Whileat Temple, Doerries found-ed the LuminescenceProject, an ensemble dedi-cated to the performanceof multi-sensory music.The ensemble’s uniqueproductions fuse lights,dance and film. Theensemble has performedat the Philadelphia LiveArts and Fringe Festivaland the Bloomington ArtsFestival as well as theIndiana University ArtMuseum.

In the latest production,Doerries merges a rockconcert and classicalmusic. He rewrote JohannSebastian Bach’s St. JohnPassion for saxophone andguitar.

“I enjoy taking classicalevents and turning them

into staged non-traditionalmulti-disciplinary works,”he added.

Doerries has traveledextensively. He has per-formed with theUniversity of Sao PauloChorus and Orchestra inBrazil and as a soloistwith Venezuela’s SimonBolivar Orchestra. He alsostudied conducting andGerman in Freiburg,Germany.

“I try to go to as manyplaces as I can and livethere,” he said. “I try to bea part of the culture whileI’m traveling and meetingpeople.”

Doerries currently con-ducts the IndianaUniversity Children’sChoir - Chamber Chorusand recently served as anassistant conductor andchorus master to IndianaUniversity’s OperaTheatre and Ballet.

He has served as anassociate instructor atIndiana University andtaught undergraduate con-ducting at TempleUniversity.

Slichenmyer enjoying new position at OCC

Kathy Slichenmyerhas joined OlneyCentral College as

administrative assistantto the president.

Slichenmyer served 21years as an office assistantfor the Illinois EasternCommunity College’sUpward Bound program,which is located at OCC,before assuming the newpost in December.

Slichenmyer’s associa-tion with OCC dates backto 1987 when she decidedto return to school andcomplete her associate’sdegree in administrativesupport. She wasemployed with theUpward Bound programwhen she graduated inMay 1990.

“The best thing I didwas come back to school as

a non-traditional studentand further my educa-tion,” she said. “I hadworked as a waitress anda bartender and knewthat wasn’t what I wantedto do for the rest of mylife.”

Slichenmyer is enjoying

her new job and itsopportunities.

“I like the fact I get todo a variety of things,” shesaid. “I deal with person-nel records and schedulingfor the president. I reallyhadn’t thought aboutchanging jobs until I sawthis position was open. Idecided it would be morestable. With grant pro-grams like UpwardBound, you don’t knowif the funding will contin-ue and I thought this posi-tion would offer more jobsecurity.”

Slichenmyer also willserve as the OCCFoundation’s recordingsecretary. She is lookingforward to working withthe organization.

“I’m beginning to see allof the opportunities and

benefits the Foundationprovides to the college thatwouldn’t otherwise beavailable without theirfunding and gifts,” shesaid.

Slichenmyer enjoysworking in the atmospherethat exists at OCC.

She added, “The stu-dents, staff and faculty arelike one big family to me.You care about the peopleyou work with and for andsee every day.”

Slichenmyer currentlyresides in Olney, but grewup in Sumner, theyoungest of 10 children.She and her husband, Joe,were married for 28 yearsbefore he passed away inJanuary 2010. She has astepson, Jerry, a daughter-in-law, Sylvia, and twograndsons, Alex and Eric.

Need info to go? You can now text a librarian at OCCResponding to the popularity of

text messaging, students, faculty andstaff at Olney Central College cannow ask questions and get informa-tion from the Anderson Library bytext message.

On average, Americans text mes-sage almost twice as much as theytalk on mobile phones, according to arecent Nielsen Mobile Survey, mak-ing it a preferred means of communi-cation while on-the-go.

“Recognizing the increased useof text messaging by patrons of allages, we felt it important to offer away to communicate with thelibrary via text messaging,” saidCharlotte Bruce, Library Director.“The new service provides an easy-to-use interface for our librariansand maintains the privacy of ourpatrons’ information.”

To text a librarian:• Text 66746• Include keyword OCC in your

question• Ask your question • A librarian will text an answer

within minutes during regularlibrary hours

• Add 66746 to your speed dial!For patrons who are unable to ask

a librarian in person or online, orthose who simply prefer texting overtalking, the Text a Librarian serviceprovides a convenient option for get-ting info on their mobile phone fromthe helpful reference librarians atthe Anderson Library.

With Text a Librarian, patrons askquestions by sending text messageswith their mobile phones and librari-ans answer on a web-based interface,keeping a “live archive” of all thequestions and answers. The service

does not display phone numbers andgenerates an anonymous ID for eachpatron in order to reference conver-sation history.

Text a Librarian was developedby Mosio, an award-winning mobiletechnology company that enablescompanies and institutions toharness the power of mobilecommunications.

“Mobility is a way of life for moststudents and increasingly for societyin general, making the way in whichwe stay connected a central issue formany libraries,” said Noel Chandler,Mosio CEO. “Text a Librarian makesit possible for students and patronsto tap into the wealth of knowledgeof local librarians from their mobilephones, while keeping patron infor-mation private and secure.”
