New E-Mail System
to Improve Access
The University is preparing to launch a new
e-mail system in January that is expected to significantly improve both local and remote access
while offering enhanced virus and spam control.
The new system is by Mirapoint Inc. and
was chosen after comparisons of a number of
state-of-the-art systems.
“It’s got to be about value,” said Chief
Information Office Mike Pearce. “The
Mirapoint e-mail system is simple and easyto-use, and it adds value through the calendar
feature, with enhanced user flexibility and
through improved Webmail access.”
Faculty, staff and administrators will be able
to access departmental and personal calendars
through the new e-mail system.
The calendar will allow users to:
• Set up meetings
• View colleagues’ unscheduled time
• Accept or decline meeting requests
• Book rooms
• E-mail meeting participants
• Share calendars with other users
E-mail users will retain their current e-mail
addresses and modes of access. The system is
scheduled to change over Jan. 20.
Online support for the migration to the new
system will be available by telephone and at
www.suffolk.edu/offices/mirapoint.htm.
Suffolk Voices to Inspire Stage Piece
Associate Professor Wesley Savick and the Theatre Department are calling on members of the Suffolk community to help create an original work for the stage in honor of
Suffolk’s Centennial.
The ensemble piece, Centennial: about a hundred years, is scheduled to open during
the first week of March. It will explore questions related to the passage of time and
invite people within the Suffolk community to come together and celebrate this special
moment in the school’s history.
Savick and others in the Theatre Department will look to current faculty, administrators and students, in addition to recent and past alumni, to supply much of the content
for Centennial: about a hundred years.
They will accomplish this by asking people at Suffolk questions such as:
• How does an institution remember itself?
• Why do we choose to share an institutional identity, and what does it mean when
we do?
• When we celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a Centennial, what exactly are we
celebrating?
Savick and the cast will then develop a theatrical response to these findings through
an exploratory rehearsal process, which will finally lead to a production.
“The goal of the project is to bring everyone together at Suffolk and use theater
performance as a venue to share ideas, feelings and responses to this Centennial year,”
said Savick. “We hope to convey the diverse and heartfelt responses to our questions in
our production.”
Centennial Commencement
This year’s Centennial Commencement will return
to a format not seen for many years at Suffolk.
All graduating students from the Law School,
the College and the Business School will gather
together for a single ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Sunday,
May 20, 2007, at the TD Banknorth Garden.
“As with our Centennial Convocation in
September, this year’s Commencement will go
down in Suffolk University’s history as an unforgettable event that taps into the great energy and
creativity that drives our University,” said President
David J. Sargent.

A Message
from the President
I wish you all a warm,
wonderful and safe holiday season. As we head
into the academic break
and the New Year, I’d like
to share my pride in all
of your spirited contributions to our Centennial
Celebration.
Not only are you taking
tremendous care to inject
the best of Suffolk University into each
and every aspect of the celebration—from
September’s Centennial Convocation to
the Campaign kickoff and the planning
for our Centennial Commencement—but
your joyous participation in our Centennial
events demonstrates that you truly believe in
our message and our mission.
To me, Suffolk University represents the
very best of American democracy, which
ideally offers an equal playing field—and
nothing evens the playing field like
education.
I am proud to say that this institution
was a pacesetter in elimination of discrimination based on race, religion, ethnicity,
gender and sexual orientation. And we are
working hard to continue our legacy of
offering affordable education so there is no
economic discrimination.
Our mission remains the same, but we
are educating students in a vastly different
age than when the University was founded,
particularly in terms of the revolution in
technology. The University is working
to ensure that we effectively harness this
technology to make sure that we reach all
our constituents.
Our successes are many, but as we continue enjoying our Centennial Celebration,
let us always remember where we came from
and why we came into existence. You are
important to Suffolk University as employees, but being part of the Suffolk family
is much more than a job. Your efforts on
behalf of our students and alumni and your
support of one another play no small role
in making a better Boston, a better America
and, indeed, a better world.
Thank you for your abiding loyalty to this
incredible institution, and I look forward to
renewing our collective efforts in the New Year.
David J. Sargent

NESADSU Artists at Adams Gallery
Boston is the theme of student
artists whose work was chosen
for “The New England School
of Art & Design at Suffolk
University Student Showcase,”
now at the Adams Gallery.
“In this Centennial year, it
seems entirely fitting that the
oldest school in the University
should host the newest,” said
NESADSU Chairman William
Davis. “We are delighted to have
this opportunity to showcase our
students’ work for everyone to
see.
Noting that the University
brings together specialists from a NESADSU student Laura Nathanson created this John F. Kennedy
wide variety of disciplines, Davis Presidential Library and Museum shopping bag campaign.
said: “This wonderful diversity
of scholarship encourages an
exchange of ideas that enriches all of us in the Suffolk community, and the ‘NESADSU
Student Showcase’ is an excellent example of such an exchange of ideas.”
The “NESADSU Student Showcase” provides a selection of work from current students
and 2006 alumni. Jim Manning, assistant director of exhibitions, curated the show.
“This exhibit is a microcosm of NESADSU, and we’re showing people in the Suffolk
community and visiting guests what we’re all about,” said Director of Administrative
Services Sara Chadwick. “We’re displaying a sample of student work that represents our
three major programs—Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Interior Design. We also have work
from students in our freshman Foundation program, and, in keeping with the gallery’s
mission, much of the work has a Boston theme.”
First Night 2007 celebrants attending the Centennial Ice Sculpture event are encouraged
to drop by the Adams Gallery to see the “NESADSU Student Showcase.”
The Adams Gallery is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, and the “NESADSU Student
Showcase” will be on exhibit through March 16, 2007.
