Friends of the Greenwood Library Presents Ron Smith
No full textVirginia Poet Laureate Ron Smith spoke and read at Longwood University April 14, 2015 in celebration of National Poetry Month.
Smith, a longtime professor and celebrated poet, is currently writer-in-residence at St. Christopher’s School in Richmond. He is the author of Running Again in Hollywood Cemetery, Moon Road and Its Ghostly Workshop. He will speak and read from his poetry on April 14 at 7 p.m. in the Greenwood Library atrium. The event is free and open to the public.
I’m excited to bring Ron Smith, poet laureate of the Commonwealth, to speak at Longwood during National Poetry Month, said Suzy Szasz Palmer, dean of Greenwood Library. Virginia is rich in its history but also in its depth of literary writers. Fiction and nonfiction typically garner more public attention, but it’s vitally important to celebrate the role of poetry in our culture. Virginia’s poet laureates serve for two-year terms, and Mr. Smith is the third poet laureate we’ve hosted since I came to Longwood in July 2011, thanks to the Friends of the Greenwood Library.
Many of Smith’s poems center on his time in college at the University of Richmond, where he played football on the Tangerine Bowl championship team. He also holds a master’s degree from VCU

Adaptación y validación del cuestionario de supervisión abusiva de Tepper (SAT) en empleados de la región de Arica y Parinacota
No full textThe purpose of this study was to adapt and obtain evidence of validity of the Tepper Abusive Supervision questionnaire (TAS) for use in adult workers in Arica, Chile. An instrumental cross-sectional design was used, with a sample of 287 participants from private companies in the city. Reliability estimates were performed by means of McDonald’s omega hierarchical coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha and validity evidence was obtained based on the internal structure of the test, by means of confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the debugged dichotomous version provides adequate comparative and absolute fit indicators (RMSEA = .04; CFI = .99; TLI = .98), with adequate levels of reliability ( α = .87; ω = .88). It is concluded that the TepperAbusive Supervision questionnaire (TAS) shows adequate psychometric properties for the measurement of abusive supervision in equivalent samples of working adults.El propósito de este estudio fue adaptar y obtener evidencia de validez del cuestionario de Supervisión Abusiva de Tepper (SAT) para su uso en adultos trabajadores de Arica, Chile. Se utilizó un diseño transversal de tipo instrumental, con una muestra conformada por 287 participantes provenientes de empresas privadas de la ciudad. Se realizaron estimaciones de fiabilidad mediante coeficiente omega jerárquico de McDonald’s y alfa de Cronbach y se obtuvo evidencias de validez basada en la estructura interna del test, mediante análisis factoriales confirmatorios. Los resultados mostraron que la versión dicotomiza depurada proporciona adecuados indicadores de ajuste comparativos y absolutos (RMSEA = .04; CFI = .99; TLI = .98), con adecuados niveles de fiabilidad (α = .87; ω = .88). Se concluye que la escala de Supervisión Abusiva de Tepper (SAT) presenta propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para la medición de supervisión abusiva en muestras equivalentes de adultos trabajadores
