   D. Keith Best, professor of theater arts, recently was elected chairman of the general faculty at Francis Marion University. He replaces professor of English Kenneth M. Autrey, who has served as faculty chairman since 2004. "I am honored to serve in this capacity, and I hope to live up to the standards of the previous chairs," Best said. Elections for vice chairman and secretary of the Faculty Senate will be held this month. Those two people also will serve in the same positions for the general faculty. The chairman, vice chairman and secretary will begin their one-year terms July 1.

A native of Valdosta, Ga., he earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts in theater at Valdosta State University in 1986 and a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Louisville in 1993.
