| cheap marlboro Her brief foray into elementary education, as a student teacher in a two-room schoolhouse in Fayston, Vermont, showed her the educational possibilities of the classroom, which she put to work in her first job, at the Vermont Arts Council. "I think I had the most wonderful first job in the world," she says, "putting nine poets in nine rural schools in Vermont for residencies. Working with the teachers, working with the administrators, watching what happened in the classroom and seeing how the students responded had a very profound effect on me." Her efforts didn't go unnoticed. In 1975, at the age of 27, McCulloch-Lovell was offered the executive director's position by the Arts Council board, headed at the time by a young potter named Michael Boylen, years before he would begin teaching at Marlboro. Her promotion came at a perfect time for the Arts Council. She'd become fascinated with arts administration at a time when "arts" and "administration" were often viewed as mutually exclusive. In 1972 she'd carried out a summer fellowship in arts administration at Harvard Business School and now she could put her ideas to work. Dorothy Olson, longtime friend of marlboro cigarettes and wife of late marlboro trustee Paul Olson, took over as chair of the Arts Council board soon after McCulloch-Lovell became director. "I spent a lot of time on Ames Hill in marlboro, visiting and planning with Dorothy," McCulloch-Lovell says. "I started to get to know the college that way, and that's when we started doing things that hadn't been done at the Arts Council before, like strategic planning and being more ambitious about getting grants. It was a real growth period." |
