President Shares Vision for University
Seeks participation from community during initial campuswide forum
President James McCarthy‟s
first campuswide forum a
week after officially joining
the University generated an
enthusiastic dialogue, and he
was greeted with warm
applause as he took the stage
at the C. Walsh Theatre.
McCarthy confirmed his
commitment to the
University‟s historical mission
of access and excellence,
described the professional
route that brought him to
Suffolk University and laid out
the challenges he aims to
address in the coming weeks,
months and years.
NEASC accreditation
On the immediate
horizon are the NEASC self
study and strategic planning.
The NEASC self-study
is under way, and the
president has received an
extension, postponing the
reaccreditation visit to
October 2013. During the
forum, he urged members of
the community to read the
self-study and specifically of
what issues will be raised
and recommendations
made,” said McCarthy.

Our Own Karate Kid
Brian McDermott is the mild-mannered assistant chief
information officer and director of Media Services by
day, but he trades in his business attire for a totally
different uniform once he steps out of the workplace
environment.
In the evenings, McDermott uses his mind and
body to kick it up a notch – literally – by indulging a
passion for karate.
“Martial arts is all about self-defense, providing
you with the knowledge and the necessary tools to
protect yourself,” said the University‟s Karate Kid.
“Learning the different techniques, combining speed
and power, is what it is all about.”
McDermott, an alumnus, has long been
interested in karate. He began taking lessons when he
was 12 and then again at 22, but he never fully
committed to the sport until six years ago when he
envisioned a game plan to ensure that he would succeed.
“I convinced my wife to join me in taking
lessons,” said McDermott. “I figured that if we went
through this together, there was no way I was going to
quit.”
After five years of training four to six days a
week year-round, McDermott and his wife, Crystal,
received their first-degree black belts in Kenpo Karate
last year.
“We tested at the same time, and it was the most
physically challenging and grueling day of our lives,” he said. “Overall, it was a very rewarding experience, because
we accomplished what we set out to do.”
The McDermotts routinely practice their skills at home.
“We always wonder what the neighbors think when we battle each other and the shades are down,” he
laughed. “Our instructor calls it „McDermott Couples Therapy‟ and says that no one goes after it like we do.”
Karate has helped McDermott to become a more confident and disciplined person, he said.
“Like anything else, the more time and effort you put into something, the better you get,” he said. “When
you work hard and see the results, you feel good about yourself.”
Working and furthering his education through the University‟s Executive MBA Program keeps McDermott
busy, but he and Crystal find time to perfect their craft by continuing their lessons in the 10 degrees of black belt as
well as by teaching karate to others.
“This is our passion and we will be involved in karate forever,” he said. “We love it.”

President Shares Vision for University
From Page 1
McCarthy said he will launch a strategic planning process
by March 1, to be concluded by the end of the semester
with the full engagement of the campus community.
The data collected during the NEASC process “lay
the foundation on which the strategic plan can be based,”
he said. “It is very important that all of us contribute our
perspectives on where the University should go.”
Town meetings, committee work and other vehicles
will afford many opportunities for community
participation, he said.
In discussing challenges and opportunities facing
the University, McCarthy touched on:
The balance of cost containment and adequate
resources
Creating a student center: “The discussion of
locations for a student center is focused on
something that can be done on relatively short
notice.”
Engaging alumni: “Far too few give back to the
University.”
Raising money for scholarships and eventually for
facilities
Enhancing use of technology for student learning
Administrative structure: “There will be faculty,
staff and student participation in the recruitment
of all senior administrators in the future.”
“It is important for all of us to realize that the
challenges facing Suffolk are the same challenges that
universities across the nation and the world also face,” said
McCarthy. “We need to make sure we engage with
colleagues at other institutions. We‟re all in this together.”
Opening up a dialogue
During a question-and-answer session with the
assembled faculty, administrators, student and staff,
Athletics Director Jim Nelson asked if McCarthy will be
guided by a report and recommendations on University
finances prepared by the Pappas Group.
“That is a very important question,” said McCarthy,
who noted that Acting Vice President & Treasurer
Danielle Manning will join him for a future forum focusing
on financial issues.
“We will certainly be informed by the report,” he
said. “You used an important word: „recommendations.‟
It‟s likely that we will accept some recommendations and
act on them, but not others.”
When asked about his vision for the University,
McCarthy said that the “fundamental mission and
structure of the University” are sound. “The fundamentals
4
are not going to change,” but he will work to “do
everything better” within that structure.
The president said he sees the value of centralized
purchasing and decentralized curriculum.
Reaction on Campus
From Page 1
I feel these forums are incredibly exciting because
people in the Suffolk community –
students, faculty and staff – can share ideas and
suggestions and learn what‟s going on. I was proud of
the students‟ questions and their level of interest. And
I though President McCarthy was great, and his sense
of humor very refreshing.”
– Anita Sen, office coordinator, Theatre
Department
“I‟m very heartened after listening to what President
McCarthy had to say. He was very frank and seemed
open and accessible.”
– Sara Chadwick, director of administrative
services, New England School of Art & Design

following the forum, and everyone was upbeat and
optimistic about President McCarthy‟s remarks. … He
seems like a genuine and cheerful type of guy and he‟s
what the school needs.” – Ronald Suleski, director,
Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies
“The communication by President McCarthy was
thorough and to the point. His sense of humor was
outstanding, and his humility really impressed me. I‟m
looking forward to working with him as we engage all
of our students from different and diverse aspects.”
– Amy Fisher, campus minister
President McCarthy's talk revealed preparedness and
an understanding of questions asked, as well as a
personalization of response and a sense of humor
… gaining the confidence of those to whom he
will provide leadership on our campus.”
