February 23, 2018 Se ee ae FEATURES The Western Carolinian Before they were educators: Pamela Duncan Haylie Long Staff Writer Professor Pamela Dun- can of Western Caro- lina Universitys English department has had an incredibly successful past prior to becoming a professor here at Western Carolina. Ms. Duncan has published three novels and has won the Sir Wal- ter Raleigh prize for one of them. T think my biggest successes were my nov- els. she said, on top of going back to school for my masters degree after taking years off from school. Professor Duncan was born in Asheville. She went to Shelby Crest High School and began her higher education at Uni- versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she- got her bachelors degree in English Journalism. Straight out of college she wasnt sure what she wanted to do, so she worked. T worked in a lot of places. I worked at Roses department store in the toy section for a while. It taught me that I really didnt want to spend my life doing that, Professor Duncan explained. I had a clerical job in the School of Public Health for a while. I also had a job as a data translator, where I saw a lot of interesting names of different people in the area. Those people inspired a lot of my char- acters in my novels. Professor Duncan later went to North Carolina State University to earn her masters degree in Creative Writing. T think going back to school was one of my successes as well. I dont believe in the finish in four mindset. I think people really need time to figure out what they want to do to be successful. Professor Duncan grew up in Buncombe county North Carolina, making the Appalachian Moun- tains her home. This is where she feels most at peace and is truly what she considers home. Ron Rash, another pro- fessor at Western Caro- lina went to high school with Professor Duncan. He called her one day telling her that there was a job opening for teaching here. She decided she was ready to take on the new task. T figured I would give ina a try, she said, explaining that she wanted to keep peoples minds fresh and creative. Duncan has a variety of hobbies she likes to par- ticipate in. T love thrift shopping. Its very meditative to see used things and wander around wondering where the items are from and what they have been through. Once, I gave my students an.assignment to go to a thrift shop and write about something they found interesting __ and write a fictional story about where they think it has been. Ms. Duncan explained. She puts her interests into her work to spark students thoughts. Outside of teaching, Professor Duncan likes to garden. I wouldn't call myself a gardener, but I love flowers. When its warmer outside I love going into my garden and - tending to my plants, she said. - Along with writing, - . Professor Duncan loves to read; her bookshelf was packed with books. On Professor Duncans bookshelf sits a picture of a lady floating in the sea, with the quote All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well. She explained that it was a sort of mantra for her, to calm her down .and remind her that there is nothing to worry about in times of stress, be- cause All shall be well. Another quote she likes to live by is This too shall pass, because all pain is temporary. The advice Professor Duncan would give to students would simply be, Go to class. Be engaged. . Communicate with your professors, theyre people too. She said that getting to know the ones teaching you is important because it can provide a stronger bond and deeper interest in the topic. Professor Duncan loves teaching at Western Caro- lina because it is such a small and personable school. T came here to try teaching because I needed a job, but I think the bond that this small school pro- vides with your students is the best thing about all of it, she explained. I love knowing my stu- dents names and being their friend. Professor Duncan can be reached at pydun- canl@email.wcu.edu.
