TIFTON — Dr. Jordan Cofer, assistant professor in the School of Liberal Arts at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, was recently honored as the Emerging Scholar for the 2009 fall semester from his alma mater, Virginia Tech.
“This is an award given to alumni in higher education,” Cofer said. “It is like a visiting scholar.”
As part of the honor, Cofer traveled back to the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., to do a keynote lecture on Nov. 5.
He talked to students about higher education as well as giving a presentation entitled “Flannery O’ Conner and the Gospel of Irony,” which was part of his dissertation.
Cofer received his B.A. in English in 2003 from Southwest Baptist University; his M.A. in English from Virginia Tech in 2006; and his Ph.D. in English in 2009 from Texas Tech University.
While at Texas Tech, he won the Outstanding Dissertation award.
Besides his teaching duties, Cofer is the ABAC faculty advisor to the Rural Studies Club.
He is married to Rebecca Cofer, a student development specialist at ABAC.
