Celebration Kicks Off Modern Theatre Project
The University celebrated the official
start of its newest residence hall project in
November, setting the stage for restoration
of the Landmark Modern Theatre façade
and injection of additional life into the
Downtown Crossing neighborhood.
The project will bring a new 184-seat
theater and a gallery to Downtown Crossing,
while creating 197 additional student
beds on campus. The building will open
in fall 2010.
The celebration also highlighted the
University’s emphasis on sustainability in
designing new buildings and retrofitting
existing infrastructure.
Suffolk President David J. Sargent,
Vice President John Nucci and Boston
Mayor Thomas Menino described the
importance of the restoration of the
Modern, the third Washington Street
theater to be preserved. The Paramount
Theatre and the Opera House are the other
recently rescued “jewels” in the area.
“We always are pleased when we can
benefit our students, whether by expanding
our academic offerings or improving our
infrastructure,” said President Sargent.
“We are particularly proud when we can

also serve our city, and this building will
go a long way to advance revitalization
efforts in Downtown Crossing and the
Theater District.”
Meredith Jones, a student representative on the University’s Sustainability
Committee, also spoke, discussing the
success of “green campus” efforts.
For the second time in University history,
the building blocks of a demolished building
will rise again as part of new construction.

Law School Podcasts Climb the Charts on iTunes U
Suffolk University Law School professors are in high demand
on iTunes U, where their legal writing skills podcasts are climbing
the charts.
In fact, one of their recordings ranks among the top 10 most
downloaded law-related iTunes U podcasts worldwide.
Suffolk is the only law school in the country offering weekly
legal writing tips on iTunes U.
“The great thing about this is that students get the benefit of
being taught by 13 different professors, and we get to utilize the
talent of our entire department,” said Suffolk University Law School
Professor Kathleen Elliott Vinson, who directs the Legal Practice
Skills program. “This is a teaching tool using technology that is very
popular and familiar to students entering law school. They’re listening to these podcasts to enhance their learning experience.”
Each week, a different Legal Practice Skills professor records and
uploads a 5-to-10-minute legal writing tip podcast corresponding
to his or her academic syllabus. One week, the “Annotated Sample
Memo” ranked as iTunes U’s second-most-downloaded law-related
podcast, topping hundreds of others.

Dean Alfred C. Aman, an accomplished jazz drummer, has

Some Legal Practice Skills faculty also are providing personal
podcasts to students, offering oral critiques of papers instead of
traditional written feedback.
“I just wanted to comment on how powerful the audio
critique is versus comments on a page,” wrote first-year law student Cynthia Snow in an e-mail to Professor Samantha Moppet.
“It was really great to sit here in my kitchen and listen to you talk

Suffolk Scores with
Celtics Partnership
A new partnership formed with the
Boston Celtics paves the way for academic
and sports business opportunities and an ingame sponsorship.
Sawyer Business School students will
study and evaluate the NBA franchise’s business, marketing, and community programs
and needs in class. Then, working in collaboration with Celtics personnel, they will
develop marketing programs to be evaluated
and potentially implemented by the team.
The partnership also includes an in-game
sponsorship, through which the University
sponsors a popular T-shirt giveaway during
each home game.
Professor of Marketing Catherine
McCabe, who developed the academic
pro ram, said the partnership will bring
g
real-world learning in sports business and
marketing to Business School students.
At the same time, the Celtics may be the
beneficiaries of some fresh ideas.
“The opportunities for students within
the sports industry in Boston and New
England have been growing rapidly,”
said McCabe. “That includes not just
professional sports leagues and teams, but
also companies that are sponsoring and
developing partnerships with those teams.
Whether considering a career path in sports
business or some other area of marketing,
Suffolk students will be better prepared for
the competitive job market.”

The marble, sandstone and brownstone
façade of the Modern Theatre will be taken
apart stone by stone and restored.
In the 1920s, it was brick that was saved
and reused as the Beacon Hill campus was
being constructed. When a building at
51 Temple St. was demolished to make way
for a new structure, the University made
a deal to have the brick left on site. Work
crews cleaned nearly 150,000 bricks and
used them in constructing the new building.
While making the most of its resources
in those early years, the University proved
to be ahead of its time in sustainable use
of materials.
