MARIETTA -- Jaime Cleland, a 2000 graduate from Marietta College, will be the 2019-20 Schwartz Leader in Residence at the college.
She is an acquisitions editor at the Modern Language Association where she works with college professors to develop books on teaching.
Cleland will lead workshops and projects involving publishing and editing. The projects will cover various topics with students getting credit for their work as the goal.
The Leader in Residence program brings professionals to campus to teach students.
Cleland began her career in publishing with Scholastic Education and then Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, spending her days with everything from picture books to Young Adult novels. She earned her doctorate in English from the CUNY Graduate Center and taught courses in writing and literature for many years before returning to her roots in publishing that were developed in part at The Marcolian, Marietta College's student newspaper.
The Schwartz Leader-In-Residence Program was named in honor of Stephen W. Schwartz (1940-2006), the longtime dean of the McDonough Center.
