Author J.E. Stamper Visits Culver-Stockton

Culver-Stockton College (C-SC) will welcome acclaimed author J.E. Stamper as the keynote speaker for its upcoming Education Mini Conference on March 27. Stamper, who speaks at 9 a.m. in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium, is the author of Ugly Me.
He will address both C-SC students and visiting students from area schools during the keynote speaker event.
According to Ugly Me’s description on Amazon, the book was inspired by real students and their real-world struggles.
“It’s a raw, powerful, and unforgettable journey inside the mind of a child who feels lost, broken, and unworthy of love. Through the [main character’s] eyes, readers experience the heartbreaking reality of trauma, bullying, and self-doubt—but also the small moments of hope that can change everything,” notes the Amazon blurb.
“We are thrilled to have J.E. Stamper join us for this spring’s Education Mini Conference,” said C-SC Associate Professor of Education Cindy Whiston. “His work resonates deeply with young readers, and his message of perseverance and self-worth aligns perfectly with the values we seek to instill in our students.”
The Education Mini Conference is a semi-annual event designed to provide future educators and students with opportunities for professional development, networking, and engagement with impactful voices in education. This spring’s conference will include a series of interactive activities and break-out session discussions aimed at enhancing the learning experience for all attendees.
