Manley’s international outlook and expertise have led him to guest lecture three times in Regional
Studies classes and the like, and in nearly twenty Spanish classes, all just in the past four years.
Due to the confidence of his colleagues, Manley has filled key leadership roles throughout his tenure
at WSU. As a small sample, witness his repeated election to the department’s Steering Committee, the
university Academic Council, and the university Senate. Among other accomplishments, his creativity
and ingenuity were critical for the university’s very creation of both the faculty rank of lecturer and
the university Senate. Notably, Manley served a five-year term as department chair, having been
appointment to a three-year term - all he wanted - and having been asked for two one-year encores by
the dean.
Manley’s activities during his retirement so far have included a special visiting appointment this
past fall semester at Miami University where he taught and pursued some new research with his
collaborators there. Beyond that, Manley tells us that his plans are less clear, though they will surely
feature the international travel of which he is so fond, and may also include more teaching or research
or both. We certainly hope at least some of that will occur at WSU!
