GLENVILLE — Glenville State College’s newest Faculty Award of Excellence recipient is Associate Professor of Music Lloyd Bone.

He received the award at the 143rd Commencement Ceremony on May 6.

“Receiving this award is truly an honor. The GSC faculty ranks are full of so many talented people who have been recognized nationally and internationally in their fields. There are so many deserving faculty and I am honored to represent all of them,” Bone said.

A nomination from a current student called Bone, “the most influential and passionate instructor I have ever had” and noted that he “loves and supports his students 100 percent, every day.”

Bone has been a faculty member at GSC since 2004. In addition to his teaching duties, he also directs the Pioneer ‘Wall of Sound’ Marching Band, the Brass Ensemble, and the Tuba and Euphonium Ensemble.

He has published the world’s first guide book for the euphonium, led several groups of GSC students around the world to meetings of the International Tuba and Euphonium Conference, and was nominated for a Music Educator Award by the Grammy Foundation, the college said.

He completed his Doctor of Musical Arts in Euphonium Performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 2015. Shortly after arriving at GSC, Bone began the GSC Honor Band and Honor Choir Festival which will enter its tenth year this coming spring. The event attracts students from all over West Virginia.
