NESADSU Alumni Newsletter
& Then
Fa l l 2 0 0 7 I s s u e # 13
85-Year-Old Graduate has Great
Success with Women…
And great success with the general public as well.
NESA alum John Burbidge (1948 Fashion Design) is
currently exhibiting his collection of 59 costumed
mannequins, made to scale, which he calls Les
Petites Dames de Mode, at Ventfort Hall in Lenox,
MA. The exhibition, which was to end in September,
has been extended until December 31st (2007) due
to the unprecedented numbers of visitors it has
attracted, including the likes of cellist Yo-Yo Ma who
dropped by in August.
The “Little Ladies”, as John calls them, must be seen
to be believed and that’s why I’m urging everyone
to make the trip to Lenox, in the Berkshires of
western Massachusetts, before the end of the year.
This interest was fueled by a chance wartime trip to the
Louvre in Paris.There he found on exhibit nearly 300
27-inch mannequins dressed by the leading Parisian
couturiers of the day.
The “Ladies” are 29 inches tall and are dressed in
historically correct costumes, all designed and executed by John, of the Victorian and Edwardian eras
(1855 to 1914). Wedding gowns, tea dresses, ball
gowns, traveling suits, all are meticulously crafted
and completely original. Tiny hats, parasols, fans, jewelry and other accessories complete each ensemble.
John, who was associated for 40 years with Priscilla
of Boston, perhaps the premier bridal company in
the country (he designed Tricia
Nixon’s wedding gown), decided,
upon retirement, to resolve
his “mid-life creative crisis” by
indulging his long-time interest in
period costuming. This interest
was fueled by a chance wartime
trip to the Louvre in Paris. There
he found on exhibit nearly 300
27-inch mannequins dressed by
the leading Parisian couturiers of
the day and designed to demA costume for Ascot Races circa 1907
onstrate that, despite the war, French couture was
alive and well. From this experience came John’s
life-long fascination with period costume.
In addition to the exhibition at Ventfort Hall, you
can see (and you will be amazed by) John’s work in
his book, Les Petites Dames de Mode, which is available at Ventfort Hall, in the NESADSU library, and
through bookstores or on line. The book details the
evolution of the “Ladies”, the history behind each
one, and John’s biography as well. Liberally illustrated with amazing photographs of each creation,
and of John at work, the book is a feast of history,
craftsmanship and inspiration.
John Burbidge at work
Though it’s subject for another article, John’s wife
of 57 years, Cile, also a 1948 graduate of NESA,
has also been intimately involved with the bridal
industry for over 50 years, not dressing brides, but
feeding them. To call her a “cake designer” would be
a gross understatement, like calling Michaelangelo
a painter. While John creates in fabric and lace, Cile
works her magic in flour and sugar, creating cakes
that boggle the imagination. But I’ll leave that for
another time.
“Les Petites Dames de Mode” is available for viewing until December 31, 2007.Ventfort Hall Mansion
and Gilded Age Museum is located in Lenox, MA
at 104 Walker
Street. For
information, telephone (413) 6373206 or email

�When I first started this alumni magazine, I worried about whether I would
be able to fill an issue each semester. At
times I couldn’t imagine ever having
enough to write about, though should
have known better, after 29 years at the
school! So, here is the 13th issue, as large
as ever and still full of news I hope you
find interesting.
In this edition we offer you installment #2 of Kate McLean’s
series on the Paris design scene, called “Cultural Differences”,
along with a “Whatever Happened to…?” by its subject, former
faculty member Steve Lyons. Another welcome contributor is
Mish McIntyre, who, along with Jessie Schloss, has written about
a new collaborative effort among recent Fine Arts graduates.
(Part of the secret of filling this magazine is getting others to do
some of the writing…)
If you’re interested in finding out how our recent NASAD reaccreditation went, turn to page 5 for the verdict. And, as always,
check out the Class Notes, to find out what your friends are up
to. If you don’t see your name, it’s because I have no recent news
of you. C’mon, send it in!
Remember that this magazine exists for you, so please let me
know if there are things you’d like to see in it. If you feel like
contributing photographs or an article, let me know that too.
You can show off your work, talk about what you’re doing
design-wise, or write about something else that’s important to
you. If you just want to comment on something you’ve seen in a
previous issue, then Feedback is the section for you.
Lost Alumni
Does anyone know where I can find these NESA/D/SU alumni?
They’re no longer at the addresses I had for them and I haven’t been
able to trace them. If you know, please send me an email at
schadwic@suffolk.edu.
Many thanks, detectives!

Did You Know?
Whatever Happened To…?
Steve Lyons
“Upon leaving The New England School of Art & Design as an adjunct faculty
member in 1987, I went to work for the Boston office of Ligature, a Chicagobased educational development house. As a designer there, I worked with
editors and production staff conceptualizing and producing middle school and
high school textbooks for publishers including Houghton Mifflin and Holt,
Rinehart and Winston. I eventually became Managing Director of the Boston
office, overseeing a staff of 75 people. In 1991, I left Ligature with a colleague to
form DECODE, Inc., (www.decodeinc.com) a graphic design office dedicated to
providing creative services to the educational publishing market. DECODE has
produced textbooks for Houghton Mifflin, Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, Prentice Hall,
Silver Burdett and Ginn, and Holt, Rinehart and Winston, in a variety of content
areas including social studies, US and world history, science, math, literature, and
language arts.
“In 1994, my partner and I moved the company to Seattle, leasing space downtown on the 10th floor of a 14–story building overlooking Elliot Bay and ten
years later, along with other partners, I purchased a three–story, turn–of–the–
century brick building in historic Pioneer Square. DECODE has been operating
there with a staff of four ever since.
“In 2004, I co-founded Platform Gallery (www.platformgallery.com), a commercial contemporary art space dedicated to exhibiting sculpture, painting, works
on paper, installation, photography, and new media. The gallery works with artists
from Seattle, Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and
Illinois. The gallery is located in the gallery district of Pioneer Square and is open
Thursdays to Saturdays, 11am to 5:30pm. One of the missions of Platform is to
take work beyond Seattle and we are participating in upcoming art fairs including
The Affair at the Jupiter Hotel in Portland, Oregon (Sept. 14-16),Year07, a fair
taking place in County Hall in London (Oct. 11-14), and Aqua Art Miami, the
Aqua Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida.
“And with all of that going on, I still maintain a
studio practice working on my own art. I’ve most
recently been working on conceptual drawings
and mixed media on paper and panel. I fondly
remember my teaching days in Boston and refuse
to believe that that part of my life was over 20
years ago!” Steve Lyons §
During the 2006-2007 school year, NESADSU
enrolled 426 art and design majors. 221 were
BFA candidates (108 in Interior Design, 82 in
Graphic Design, and 31 in Fine Arts) and 116
were graduate students (106 in the Master of
Arts program in Interior Design and 10 in the
MA program in Graphic Design). There were
also 12 Certificate students, one Diploma
candidate (the Diploma programs were discontinued in 2004), and 76 continuing education
students.
That same year, we spent $2,145,450 on fulland part-time faculty salaries.
We currently have in school 256 computers,
105 Macs and 151 PC’s, 36 in offices and the
rest in classrooms and other student areas.
Software is updated with every new release,
hardware every three years.
The cost of one roll of paper used in Foundation drawing classes is $60. We use about 30
rolls per school year. That’s $1800.
The NESADSU Library currently holds approximately 10,000 books, 53 periodical
subscriptions and 30,000 slides.
The retail price of one license for the
Adobe Creative Suite Premium Design CS3
is $1,700.00. NESADSU holds 50 licenses. At
retail this would equal $85,000 (yikes!).
The average cost of one ink cartridge is
$28.00. During the 2006-2007 academic year,
NESADSU spent $27,800 on ink and toner
(yikes again!).
The price of one AutoCAD license is $240.
NESADSU holds 75 licenses, costing $18,000
per year.
During the 2006-2007 academic year, we spent
$15,000 on models for figure drawing classes.
Last year, 84 art and design students took
advantage of workshops sponsored by the Ballotti Learning Center at NESADSU.
For 2006-2007, NESADSU’s operating budget
was $5,157,3000.

NESADSU Successfully Completes
Reaccreditation Process
G r a p h i c D e s i g n St u d e n t
Scores for Lupus
It was formally announced at the annual meeting of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design in Kansas City in October, that The New
England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University has been granted renewal of membership, for a ten-year period of accreditation.This decision
follows the March/April site visit described in the last edition of this magazine.
The focus in the Advertising Design (ADG S208)
course at NESADSU is to develop fully integrated
campaigns—a body of work with a cohesive brand
and campaign message and a look that seamlessly
translates into various print and interactive media
outlets. For their last class project of the Fall 2006
semester, students were tasked with developing
an integrated campaign for the Lupus Foundation
Event logo design by Stormi Knight.
the presentations with other partners within the
organization, Stormi Knight’s campaign was selected
to support the Fall 2007 efforts for the Walk on the
Charles. Her interactive campaign reached out nationally to those affected by Lupus by creating custom artwork to be used throughout the campaign,
and included a poster, booklet, website and banner
work. Knight was then able to work with the class
of New England, a campaign that would increase
awareness about Lupus, an autoimmune disease
affecting more than a million people in the U.S. and
millions more worldwide. Working from a written
strategy provided by the Foundation and detailing specific messaging goals, the students designed
posters, web banners, environmental design pieces,
booklets, and other support pieces to raise awareness about the disease, and to
promote the Lupus Walk on the
Charles supporting efforts towards
finding a cure.

In hopes of giving at least some of
the students experience presenting
their work to clients, the instructor,
Suzanne McCarthy, contacted the
Lupus Foundation of New England
to request that the class’s best three
projects be considered for production. The class evaluated the work
produced and decided that the
campaigns designed by Nelia Brega,
Stormi Knight, and Megan Clarke
were the strongest for client review.
The students and instructor then
visited the Foundation in order to
present their choices.

The Visitors’ Report, presented to us in July, summarized the team’s
findings during their four-day visit, and, in all areas, it was stated that
NESADSU appeared “to meet all criteria for all applicable NASAD
standards”, as outlined in the NASAD handbook. The Visitor’s Report ended with a list of institutional strengths and challenges, the
former gratifyingly longer than the latter. We thought you might be
curious to know what they said. Among strengths, the team cited:
•
“The need to attend to the dichotomous views of faculty
and graduate students in regard to the mix of undergraduate
and graduate students in Graphic Design and Interior Design
classes. Grad students appear to view this as a negative aspect
to their programs; faculty members appear to feel that such
blending raises the quality bar for these classes.
•
The visiting team has concerns that the elastic completion time
for admitted MA students—from 30 to 99 credits—may be
unclear to graduate students and may compromise the stated
credit requirements for these graduate programs.
•
Need for further communication to address undergraduate
concerns about scheduling liberal arts requirements to mesh
with art and design classes in light of the University’s change to
4-credit courses.
•
Important to continue to improve art school’s ability to attract
art and design majors with demonstrated aptitude and accomplishment.”
As I said in the last article on the subject of reaccreditation, in the
Spring magazine, the reaccreditation process is long and exhausting and could not have been completed so successfully without the
cooperation of the entire NESADSU community, administrators,
faculty, students and alumni alike. The comments made by the Visiting Team, who have extensive experience reviewing the programs
of the country’s most prestigious art and design schools, should
make all of us—and you—very proud. S.C. §

Arduous does not even begin to encompass the tremendous shift in life from student to practicing studio
artist. From developing resumes and portfolios, securing studio work/ live space to facilitating income, it is
not surprising that many compromise the production
of artwork for rent and food. Most critical is the loss of
the peer art community that graduating students have
come to depend upon during their education.

Recently, some of the past three years’ Fine Arts alumni
have attempted to overcome the stress and pressure
of the first years out of school by developing a critique
group based in the Fort Point area of Boston. This
group aims to support each member to enable the
continued practice of studio art and provide a place of
critical review and experimentation.
The range of subject, material, content and execution
varies greatly and to that end the critique group has
engaged in a collaborative effort to create new works
that require the exchange of work and authorship from
one artist to the next in an attempt to explore the
overall visual language of the community as a whole.
The resulting work is an examination of process and
content at a micro and macro level, so much so that
the work has taken on the distinct appearance of biological and ecological systems, some real, others imagined. The mixture of several artists per piece changes
the visual language of the individual into an emergent
communal discourse.
Emergence is both an examination of the real world
struggle for these artists to establish their studio practice in the Boston community and an introspection of
the micro community of the critique group as it grows
and develops beyond the NESADSU community.
For five weeks over this past summer a
group of twenty-two high school students
and incoming college freshmen participated
in NESADSU’s Pre-College Program.
Guided by professors and adjunct instructors Randal Thurston, Paul Andrade, Matt
Templeton and Bebe Beard, this group of
talented young students explored the visual
vocabulary of art and design while learning
the basics of portfolio preparation.
Working in the School’s studios, students
expanded their knowledge of drawing,
painting and the principles of two- and
three-dimensional design. Our ’07 Pre-College Program participants were introduced
to the vibrant cultural scene here in Boston
through field trips to area museums and
artists’ studios. The program culminated in
a student-organized exhibition highlighting
work produced over the summer.
Summer Class of 2007
Responding to the remarkable success of
and enthusiasm generated by this summer’s
program, Continuing Education has begun
offering Pre-College workshops during
the school year. Adjunct Instructor Matt
Templeton is teaching a five-week Pre-College Portfolio Preparation Workshop this
fall designed to help prepare students to
present their work at Boston’s National
Portfolio Day.

of Art & Design’s Pre-College programs

An exhibition of the critique group’s work will be held
in the White Box Gallery (room 208) at NESADSU
from May 12th until June 27th, 2008. There will be an
opening reception, to which all are invited, on Friday,

Little Cultural Differences
Cultural differences are what make foreign
travel such a wonderful adventure, and they
are what make a country or a city unique
to work and live in. Here are some of the
cultural differences between Paris, France and
anywhere in the Anglo-Saxon world:
The working day. Parisians
Morning commute on the Paris métro.
really want to be Mediterranean. They love to
eat late and stay up late. The problem is waking
up; the morning métro is full of people still
soundly asleep despite being fully clothed for
work. The working day starts later here—usually between 9.00am and 10.00am—and
most people finish work between 6.00pm
and 7.00pm. The 35-hour working week only
applies to those employed by large companies
and government employees (who signed that
into law?). Most people work way in excess of
this figure. If you do the math it is clear something else must take up a part of the day…
The importance of
lunch. Lunch is a right.The French

will happily work through later in the evenings
if a deadline is looming, but will absolutely not
skip lunch. It lasts between one and two hours,
often it is an event used to discuss business;
it is however sacrosanct. Indeed should you
munch a sandwich at your desk other people
will disparagingly refer to you as having lunch
“a ‘l’anglais” (like the English). At least a third
of Parisians lunch in restaurants and bistros
every day and the remainder of us bring in
creative options from home and stop work
to eat together. Lunch is a social occasion for
everybody and it is the height of bad manners
to start without asking your co-workers if they
are going to join you.
How to approach a
deadline. In December 2006
Anne-Claire and I shared the design work for a
program for an annual film festival. The overall
design was approved; all we were waiting for
was the copious copy to arrive as well as all
those small little program details such as name
of event, venue, time, price, etc., etc. for over
1000 events. The printing deadline was fixed, as
it had to piggyback on to another job so as to
save costs. We waited and we waited. Four days
before the printing deadline the text started to
trickle through… then even I started spotting
the spelling errors (yep, in French) and we
realized that none of the text had been proof
read. So the text went back to be checked and
a committee from the festival camped downstairs from our office fixing spelling errors on
the printed pages, meaning we had to correct
them electronically. In the end, with no leadership and even less organization Anne-Claire
and I worked from 9.00am to 11.00pm (without lunch) for three days to accommodate the
festival committee. This last minute approach
happens all the time. To deliver another project
on time another member of our team got on
his motorbike and sped through the streets of
Paris; he got the official stamp of receipt just 2
minutes before the deadline.
Fear of commitment.
The French fear of commitment and their
desire to leave everything open should suit my
personality very well, but as in all such cases
the most extreme party retains the behavior and forces the other party into inverse
behavior. I have been pushed to the inverse
as I try to work with Jean-Louis. One recent
project was (spéculatif of course) to develop a
POS for a company selling “Coffrets Cadeaux”
(www.wonderbox.fr). I did my research—I
photographed existing POS, looked at various
designs and came up with five or six options. I wanted, I needed, his direction. With
every design I showed him his response was
“pourqoui pas?” (why not?). I have to say I
found this distinctly unhelpful. In the end I
pushed and pushed and pushed for him to give
me a decision—he appeared to be in pain, and
immediately after making a decision went out
for lunch to forget all about it.
Fashion. Using public transport and
doing a lot of walking is my opportunity to
observe the latest fashions and styles. On the
métro and the bus I get to see the small but
essential details, mainly because the French
concept of personal space is non-existent. Thus
I have learned how to tie a scarf depending on
the time of year, what earrings are currently
fashionable and how to wear the collar of
a simple shirt so as to look decidedly chic.
A point to note is that Parisian women are
thinner than most, which of course aids their
ability to look good in almost everything. Two
other essential building blocks to acquiring
Parisian style are the requirement to wear
heels on your shoes (the sneaker-clad commuter is a rare sight) and to walk proudly with
a large designer bag and a good designer coat.
Ordinary French women do actually shop in
Hermes, Lancel and Chanel if only once every
five years. For the first time in my life my first
waking thought is what to wear, even at the
weekend!
POS proposal for “Wonderbox”, 2007
How much vacation?
As I write this (early September 2007) I, and
the majority of Parisians, have just returned
from a month of vacation. Everything you may
have heard is true. The city sleeps as millions
head for their second homes in the countryside or the coast. Until recently very few
French people ventured abroad, and if they
did it was to French-speaking places such as
the Reunion Islands near to Madagascar or
Martinique in the Caribbean. But this summer
has been a washout for northern Europe since
June and I heard much French being spoken as
I lay on the beach in very sunny Spain. Now,
after a month off work, we are all back, excited
to be in the city that has regained the buzz
but actively looking forward to the next main
vacation, which is Toussaint (a.k.a. Halloween). In total the French come second to the
Germans with an annual vacation entitlement
of 7.5 weeks. Being freelance I can take what
vacation I like, but there again if I don’t work
then I don’t earn any money to go on vacation!

NESADSU’s J.W.S. Cox Scholarship Fund, for
which we are very grateful! She is currently
on the faculty at Endicott College in Beverly,
as an Assistant Professor of Interior Design
(“I’m enjoying it very much”), and still owns
her own ID firm, Merle Craig Interiors in
Durham, NH. “I see quite a bit of Marge Lee
(1984 Interior Design) [also an Assistant
Professor at Endicott] and I also see Kris
Orr (1984 Interior Design) and Anne Lenox
(1987 Interior Design) occasionally. We
share the same birthdate and usually have
breakfast together sometime around September 11th. We discovered this when we
were assigned to the same ‘contract furniture
research committee’ in our sophomore year
and have gotten together many times since.”

1987 – Deven Winters (Fine Arts)
emailed us In May to say he and his wife
were packing for a move back to Texas, this
time to Mesquite, where Deven will be taking a job at id Software, a pioneer in FPS PC
game titles. As a designer, he’ll be creating
levels, gameplay elements and some basic art
“for the artists to make beautiful. I want to
go there to be able to learn from the masters, develop my next gen art and become
even more well-rounded.” Deven also says
that he’ll be starting a children’s book this
fall with his wife as the writer. “The newest
member of our family is getting big…and is
almost as tall as his four-and-a-half-year-old
brother. My oldest son Joshua can read and
write a little bit. He also reconfigured my
X-Box to read Chinese and it took us two
hours to undo it. He’s is getting really good
at games and problem solving.” Deven is also
thinking of becoming a teacher of 3D graphics and perhaps starting his own company as
well. You can reach him at arxangel@gmail.

please be sure to fill out the Alumni Update
Form on the NESADSU alumni page on
our website.) Dave, who is the Director of
Design for Fidelity Investments in Smithfield,
RI, lives in Foster with his wife and three
children, Zoe (2), Max (6) and Clara (4). As
Dave says, “Things are going well. We all have
our health and a routine. It’s just non-stop,
taking care of a house, a dog and three small
children, then trying to fit in my own stuff….
I’ve redefined patience. It’s not like the old
days when the world revolved around ME.
It has many more benefits but there was a
learning curve for me and still is to some
extent, but I’m getting better at it. I’m trying
not to forget the old worn out saying ‘They
grown up fast’. I remain conscious of that and
very much enjoy the simplicity of it all and
fostering good memories. Which reminds me
of another saying, ‘If I had a nickel” for every
time someone with grown children says that
to me, I’d be a millionaire!’ You can get in

2001 – Helen (Carroll) Johnson (Fine

“I was married in 2005 so my last name is
now Johnson. Directly after graduating Suffolk I worked at Kids Are People School, a
multicultural and inclusive school in Boston,
first as a teacher’s aide and then as a teacher.
I received my Masters from Lesley University in Art Education in 2006…and began
working at the Children’s Learning Center
in Dorchester as a pre-school teacher. April
20th I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl
Alexandria! She was born seven weeks early
so she had a scary start but is doing great
now. Just recently my husband and I were
accepted into the Salvation Army’s School
for Officers’ Training. After two years of
schooling we will be ordained ministers, so
we are currently preparing to move to New
York….The newsletters have been going to
my parents’ house for three years, but that
was fine because we’ve moved three times
in the last year and a half!…It’s great to see
how the school is growing and what is happening!” You can reach Helen at helen_johnson@mrmumu.net.
2001 – Laura Glen (Interior Design)
has returned to her roots in Louisiana, in the
wake of hurricane Katrina. “I’m still working
on projects throughout New England (with
one studio in Wellesley, MA) but have my
main studio back home in New Orleans.
Katrina was devastating to my family and
friends and I just need to be here to help
rebuild….If you ever need an article on New
Orleans and the rebirth, I would be happy to
provide my insight, having evacuated, rebuilt

2002 – Jonathan Hoysradt (Graphic
Design) emailed Jen Fuchel the other day
with an update on what he’s been doing
since leaving his first job, at 360Kid, after
graduation. “My quest for full-time work led
me to several non-design-related positions
including the mailroom of a financial company, the processing center for a mortgage
company, and a bouncer at a biker bar (just
kidding about that last one!). Oddly enough, I
found my niche at a computer company that
originally hired me as a temp to manage the
sales database. They found out I had some
design skills and asked me to update their
website (which, I think, was originally composed by a blind man using PowerPoint), so it
was uphill from there. …Soon enough I was
the graphic designer for the company…I’ve
also become the “Web Manager”, “Marketing
Manager”, and “Email Manager”. They hired
another graphic designer to work under me
[though] I’m still responsible for designing
most of the printed material. And while the
other designer manages the website, I do
all the Flash animation.” As Jonathan says, it’s
been a good way to gain a lot of experience
in a lot of different areas, especially management and computers. You can reach Jonathan

Local veteran was a mapmaker for the U.S. Navy in World War II
By James A. Kimble, Staff writer
SALEM, N.H. — Her role in helping to capture Iwo Jima was something she never told her husband or three children.
Now 83, a humble and soft-spoken Mary Habib still is reluctant to
go on about it. Her husband, Al, 86, shakes his head that he’s only
now learning how important his wife’s role was in World War II.
“She didn’t like to brag to the family,” he said, sitting at the couple’s
kitchen table. “I didn’t know about this until three weeks ago. We’ve
been married since 1950.”
Mary Habib softly adds with a smirk, “There’s some things I don’t tell.”
Mary Habib worked on a map used by the U.S. military in the critical
battle for Iwo Jima.That invasion ended with one of the most famous
moments in World War II, when five Marines and a sailor raised an
American flag atop the island’s highest point, Mount Suribachi.
Photographer Joe Rosenthal immortalized the flag raising with his
famous, posed, photograph — which became a topic of the recent
Clint Eastwood movie “Flags of Our Fathers.” While seeing a commercial for the movie on television, Mary Habib mentioned in front
of her oldest son, Bill, 55, she had worked on the Navy’s map for
the invasion.

Mary (McCluskey) Habib, NESA class of 1943.
& Th e n

This summer I had a call from former NESAD faculty member, Ed Germano, who told me that he had seen, on Fox TV, a story about a woman
who had served her country in World War II, by drawing maps for the invasion of Iwo Jima. Ed had noticed, while the story was being told, that the
camera had panned over a NESA diploma and he let me know he was going
to investigate. After a little detective work, through the mediums of both
television and newspaper, we found the story of Mary (McCluskey) Habib, a
1943 graduate of NESA. We are reprinting her story with the kind permission of the Eagle-Tribune Publishing Company and Mary Habib.
It was an incredible revelation for Bill Habib of North Andover,
who began peppering his mother with questions. “Then she went
into the next room and came out with a book and scrapbook,” Bill
Habib said. “That was the first time I ever saw it. I knew generally
of her naval background, her deployment and that she served as
a naval officer, but I didn’t know the extent of it.” The surprises
then came like one gigantic wave after another. Despite her years
of silence, Mary Habib kept a detailed record of her two and a half
years working as a Navy petty officer in the Washington, D.C., area.
Upon being honorably discharged from the Navy on July 22, 1946,
she was given a replica of the map of Iwo Jima she helped create
with her name embossed on it.
A ringed binder holds dozens of black-and-white photographs and
cartoon sketches she made of her office mates. They detail sightseeing around the city, too, serving as a guide to her memories.
One sketch shows a face, with eyebrows raised, looking down from
the top of the Washington Monument.
“I don’t like heights,” Habib said.
As the scrapbook reveals, it’s a dislike she overcame at times. A
half-dozen photos she took from a New York City rooftop give a
bird’s-eye view of a phalanx of soldiers marching down the street
in what seems like an endless parade. “It’s funny when you wear a
uniform, you can get in anywhere,” she said. “The funny thing about
a uniform is that it gives you a lot of courage.”
The highly detailed process of mapmaking was serious business,
but Mary Habib said workers in the cartography office were still
able to have fun. A favorite practical joke sailors played on newbies
was placing a fake blob of ink on top of a new girl’s work table
when they went to the bathroom, she recalled. “There was a lot of
civilian workers there, too. We had a good time. Those sailors were
quite the teasers,” Habib said.
A native of Lowell, Habib (then Mary Margaret McCluskey) enlisted
in an all-female division of the U.S. Navy known as WAVES, Women
Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Services. She graduated from
the New England College [School] of Art trained in graphic and
commercial design. The Navy sent her to Hunter College in New
York before she was assigned to the Pentagon’s Hydro-Graphics
Office in Suitland, Md. Mary Habib said in the 1940s mapmaking
was highly detailed but not what she expected when she first got
her assignment. “I was surprised,” she said. “There actually wasn’t
too much drawing. It was fine work. We did the coastline about
three miles in. The Air Force took pictures of the island, which we
had on a big drafting table.”
Houses were noted with spots the size of a pinhead. Precise details
of cliffs, craggy rocks and sandy areas were crucial so ship commanders would know where and how close vessels could approach
the shoreline. Habib said she was assigned to the WAVES not long
after it was formed. She worked there for two-and-a-half years
between 1944 to just after the war in 1946. A memorable highlight
from her stint in Washington, D.C., was an afternoon when Eleanor
Roosevelt invited Habib and female co-workers in the cartography office to tea at the White House. They spent time in the Blue
Room, one of three state parlors at the home of the president, and
later had punch and cakes in the dining room. “She was a lovely
woman,” Habib said of Roosevelt.
Like many families during the war, everyone in Habib’s family
contributed. Habib’s brother, Richard Jr., and sister, Kathleen, both
enlisted. Her mother, a nurse, worked part time in a parachute factory when not working her shifts at a hospital.
Habib said she had no idea the map she was helping create would
lead to such a significant turning point in the war. It wasn’t until
much later, when Rosenthal’s photograph of the flag raising on the
island became famous that she realized the significance of her con-
tribution to the war effort. Still, she refrained from speaking about
it. It simply wasn’t her way. “After the raising of the flag, I said to
myself, ‘OK, I was part of that,’” Habib said. “But I didn’t realize how
important it was at the time.”
Moved by his mother’s service, Bill Habib recently wrote a detailed
summary of her military career, which was displayed for Memorial Day with photographs of World War II veterans at St. Monica’s
Church in Methuen. “She’s not inclined to boast of herself,” Bill
Habib said. “Her humility is one of her many fine virtues. She would
consider talking about it bragging. That’s not her style.”
After the war, she married in 1950 and became a stay-at-home
mother raising three children. Her daughter, Mary Lee Pare, 50,
lives in Salem, N.H. Her youngest son, Michael, 45, lives in Methuen.
She worked briefly at General Electric and the Internal Revenue
Service, and only kept drawing as a hobby. She remains an active
member of American Legion Post 417, one of the few all-female Legion chapters in the area. The family lived in Methuen for 40 years.
Al and Mary Habib moved to Salem, N.H., about 10 years ago.
Al Habib has long been a fan of Mary’s artwork. He proudly shows
off drawings and sketches Mary etches in a room at the end of a
hallway inside their Azarian Road home. Bill Habib is thankful that
he’s finally learned the details of his mother’s military service. He
now believes there was greater meaning behind the television commercial being played.
“I don’t believe in coincidence anymore,” Bill Habib said. “I’m so
pleased and to a greater extent proud of her, even at this late stage
in life. If it was up to her, I think it would have remained hidden.”

Q. Let’s start with a bit of history. Tell us more about yourself.
I was born in 1959 in a small town by the sea, a few miles from
Algiers. My childhood was essentially marked by the Mediterranean
Sea which was a few feet from my parents’ home. Summer was the
occasion to literally live in it and be absorbed by its vast scale and
its potential to trigger a
multitude of voyages. The

that some of the meaningful architects had on me. I was very
interested in the work of Corbusier, Louis Kahn and the “modern
movement” in general. Later I grew to appreciate some of the less
known architects and took their works as a source of inspiration
for my own work.
Q. How did you decide on the U.S. for graduate school and what
path brought you to Boston?
I wanted to learn more about architecture and design and pursuing
my studies is one way to do that. At that time, some of the most
influential ideas about architecture were being generated by prominent U.S. architects and thinkers and I wanted to experience that
first hand. I first came to Boston to study English, then to California
for architecture and urban design. I have always been interested
by the city in general and I felt the need to learn more about the
formulation of its shape. Urban planning became obvious for me as
I sought to understand the other forces that shape our cities. I had
some friends that invited me back to Boston; subsequently I was
offered a job. Fall in this area is my favorite season and I wanted to
stick around for a while. I stayed ever since!
Q. Talk a little about your professional experience. Where did you
work and what kind of work did you do?
After my graduation, I sought work in Boston. I worked for several
companies in the area and the work ranged from residential and
commercial to institutional and retail. I learned a great deal and I
believe that experience made me a better architect.
Q. Why do you teach (besides the paycheck!)?
I taught while working professionally. I enjoy very much the

dents are coming out with ingenious ways to resolve old problems
of design; perhaps the technology at their disposal allows them to
tackle issues from a different angle and make new uninvestigated
associations, new ways to manipulate space. Some of the projects
are just a leap forward in design thinking and I very much like being
a part of that. Teaching in reality goes both ways.
Q. How did you wind up at NESADSU? What do you like best
about the school and what keeps you here?
I first was invited to teach as an adjunct professor by Nancy [CoProgram Director Nancy Hackett]. She and I worked together on
several projects in the Boston area. Subsequently I have been hired
as a full time Assistant Professor.
One of the most impressive parts of the program in interior
design at NESADSU in my view is the fact that the ID department
is within a school of art and design. This association with art and
graphic design has a potential benefit for interior design students.
Interior architecture and architecture have always been inspired
by other disciplines and exposing students to a mutual influence is
enriching. The potential for innovation is greater.
Q. Why did you decide to become an architect?
I have always loved to draw and the landscape around me was
prone to that. Just think of the seascape. Obviously, this is just the
premise because as I was studying my passion for architecture
grew stronger. I found in architecture a total freedom of expression and a highly sophisticated creative process that embodies the
entire social, political, and economical issues that humans in general
face. I felt it was important. I also was interested by the theoretical
discourse that was developing in the profession and the influence
Another part that I appreciate greatly is the cooperative nature of the
faculty and the scholastic and pedagogical environment and the standard of care for the students’ progress. It really sets the school apart.

�from 41 temple//PREMIER ISSUE
welcome to our premier issue
I am delighted to present the inau-
gural issue of Suffolk Arts + Sciences, the
alumni magazine of the College of Arts
and Sciences at Suffolk University. These
pages give you a glimpse of our community today. Here you will meet Emilio
Aragon, CAS alumnus and an actor, musician, and entrepreneur much beloved
in Spain; James Carroll, National Book
Award winner, Boston Globe columnist,
and a faculty member in the College of Arts
and Sciences; and Leda Waterman, graduating senior with a moving Suffolk story
to tell. You will get a peek into the Suffolkbased literary magazine, Salamander; a
tour of the new Poetry Center; and a front
row seat in the C. Walsh Theatre. Whether
you graduated in 2006 or 1966, you will
recognize the cobblestoned streets of
Beacon Hill and the bustle of students in
the shadow of the State House. Above all,
you will see the school you loved.
As Suffolk University’s centennial year
comes to a close, the College of Arts and
Sciences has never been livelier. Unprecedented numbers of students are making
us their destination. Our physical presence has extended down Cambridge and
Tremont streets, flanking the Hill. A new
undergraduate curriculum stands poised
for release in September. Faculty of the
highest caliber teach our classes, and visiting scholars of international renown join
us in creative and intellectual pursuit. The
renovated C. Walsh Theatre and Mildred
F. Sawyer Library gleam. The College of
Arts and Sciences has come into its own.
Yet I am keenly aware, as an historian
and a member of the Suffolk community
since 1978, that our past helps to propel
us into our future. Born of a love for the
city of Boston and its people—all of its
people—Suffolk University still insists on
giving back to that community. That mission threads its way through our curriculum, most visibly in the Expanded Classroom requirement that takes students
away from their desks and into the world,
where they can apply their classroom
learning for the greater good. My Suffolk
pride swells to its fullest when I witness
the sophisticated ethic of concern that our
students carry away from their undergraduate education in the College of Arts and
Sciences. Turn to the “Standout Talent”
section of this issue. You will see what I
mean.
Next time you are in the neighborhood,
stop by campus. Grab tickets to one of our
theatre productions. Attend a lecture by
a distinguished scholar. Visit our galleries.
Stop by a favorite professor’s office. You
will share my delight: the College you knew
is brimming with energy. We are ready to
welcome you home for a visit.

Students from the College of Arts and
Sciences are more than exceptional scholars and
thinkers. They are artists, activists, and award
winners; they are leaders in communities, clubs and
athletics. Seeking the unique and unknown, they
tread the cobblestone pathways of Beacon Hill,
gaining more from Suffolk than just an education.
Here we introduce you to a few of these students—
six young men and women who followed their
passions on Suffolk’s urban campus, both inside
the classroom and on the streets of Boston.

SP07 NINA LEUZZI
Nina Leuzzi, 21
Hometown: Wallingford, CT
Major: Print Journalism
At seven years old, armed with a grade book and
lesson plans, Nina Leuzzi “played school” in her family’s
basement, using sidewalk chalk on a slate wall to teach
her younger sister. At Suffolk’s orientation a decade later,
she understood the meaning of those afternoons when
she saw the opportunity to join Jumpstart for Young
Children, Inc., a national nonprofit that pairs caring
adults with low-income preschool students.
Using her work-study award, Nina spent 20 hours
a week at S.M.I.L.E Preschool in Roxbury, continuing as a volunteer when her award ran out mid-year.
“Money was not the important thing. It became invaluable to me to serve the community and for the kids to
grow and succeed.” Jumpstart was a perfect fit for the
high-spirited leader, who stayed with the program for
four years.
In addition to her mentoring work, Nina has been
successful in a number of other areas, including studying in Prague, Czech Republic, working as a teach-

ing assistant for a variety of courses, and serving as
president of the photography club and peer tutor at the
Ballotti Learning Center. Her involvement gained her
Junior of the Year and Who’s Who on College Campuses nominations, and her dedicated service to the
children at S.M.I.L.E earned her an invitation to join
their Board of Directors in 2006.
“I’m definitely a different person now than when
I came here,” she says, smiling. “The tremendous
faculty and diverse programs I found at Suffolk were
extremely important to my growth. I’m stronger now,
more independent, and more courageous.”
After graduation, Nina will attend graduate school
at Wheelock College studying Early Childhood Education. “I want to work in children’s book publishing,” she
says passionately. “I’ve seen what works, and I want to
create educational books that children want to read.”
Then, echoing a statement she declared in fifth grade
that sums her up perfectly, “And I want to teach.”

others, you will always receive good back. Today, he credits his parents’ words and
their inherent values as his foundation for serving people and their communities.
As a sophomore, Chantha utilized Suffolk’s club community to get involved on
campus. His participation in the Caribbean Student Network and his work as Resident Assistant and Orientation Leader introduced him to a “whole new society where
[he] got to know the faculty and experience things that many students don’t see.”
Chantha continued to participate in and lead various volunteer projects, including Connections 2 College and the soup kitchen. He became the SOULS Service
Scholar, a position given to a dedicated member of Suffolk’s Organization for Uplifting Lives through Service. He coached high school track as a freshman and discovered the pride in being a support system for a child. “Working with students of
different backgrounds and personalities has strengthened my character; and at the
same time, my experiences have softened me and shown me what one person
can do.”
Chantha has also worked in Boston neighborhoods, particularly with the Horizon
Initiative for Homeless Children where he led support groups for Boston’s homeless
youth. The Horizon Initiative allowed him to see the full-circle effect of his dedication,
as the children in his support groups found homes and the families stabilized. “While
it was hard to say goodbye to my group of kids, it was humbling to watch them move
on to better lives.”
Now working at Massachusetts General Hospital escorting patients and visiting children in the Oncology Department, Chantha talks about the future: he would
like to revolutionize the hospice healthcare system. “I want to alter the attitudes that
surround healthcare, but I still want to continue working with students and children
because it’s always beautiful being able to give back.”

Kristina Sarkisyan left the widespread unemployment and political corrup-
tion of Armenia for the brighter future she felt waited for her in the United States.
A year later, she came to Suffolk with little knowledge of the English language, but
with the dream of gaining a degree from an American university.
Missing her friends and feeling overwhelmed by a new culture was difficult, but
her desire to learn and drive to succeed kept her strong. She concentrated on learning English with grammar guides, and her classes and professors helped her perfect
her speaking and writing. “I did everything by myself. Determined, I went forward
despite the setbacks in acclimating to a new life,” she said.
“When I started at Suffolk, people did not think I would graduate, but I finished
a straight A student. My parents and professors stood behind me, sure of my success.” It was her comfort with the faculty that continually kept her motivated, as
numerous professors met with her outside of class, teaching her practical as well
as academic knowledge.
Four years later, Kristina, always polished with her hair pulled back and dressed
for business, graduated Summa Cum Laude and second in her class, proof that
hard work is worth the setbacks. Yet, she doesn’t feel that education is about getting
awards; she believes that failures, obstacles, and challenges make a person resilient.
“I viewed my trouble adjusting and communicating as opportunities to grow stronger
and smarter. It is our past that becomes the best teacher.”
Now, she is taking that intensity and applying it to her master’s degree program
at Suffolk, continuing to follow her dream of making the world safer and more just. “I
want to improve the social and economic conditions for those who struggle by creating programs to enrich their lives,” she says, with unwavering conviction. “People are
capable of great things, and I hope to be the difference for at least one person.”

Hometown: Malden, Massachusetts
Major: English, Political Science

SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2007
SP07 VERONICA CARLINO
To compete in a 12-hour long forensics tournament your mind must be constantly ready. You present
your speech repeatedly, using voice exercises and
group warm-ups to release tension. Staying physically
and mentally on point for competition creates fatigue,
but through it, you remain enthusiastic even while
battling with the pressure to win.
This is a routine day for Veronica Carlino, an
award-winning debater. In person, Veronica is as
articulate as she is when competing, something she
developed from public speaking. “You must possess
a comfort level for speaking that reflects the intelligence and passion in your written speeches,” she
says. “Debate requires skills not offered in classes
and challenges you to try the unexpected, pushing
your limits.”
In March at the International Forensic Association Tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Veronica took third place in the category of Impromptu
Speech and fourth in the Informative category. This
came after placing first in these and other categories
in the regional competition. “It is intense and terrifying, but I love it. Forensics is about thinking on your
feet, and it teaches focus and drive.”
Success in debate is not all Veronica has
achieved at Suffolk. She studied abroad in Prague
and Rome, was elected to a collection of honor societies, and was captain of the soccer team. “Suffolk
brought me the chance to do everything I wanted,
opportunities not always available at a larger school,
including great internship experiences.” Internships
in the attorney general and governor’s offices helped
her discover her future.
Graduating in May, Veronica, an Italian citizen,
plans to pursue a Masters in International Affairs and
a J.D. in International Law. She hopes to influence
policy development overseas, and raise awareness
for human rights through the international courts and
other organizations. “I want to lead a life to empower
people held back by ignorance,” she says.

�John Halabi, 20
SP07 JOHN HALABI
Hometown: Norwood, MA
Major: Government
From the ages of two to ten, John Halabi lived in Lebanon. Remembering the
sunset from Black Peak, the country’s highest mountain, he was drawn to return
there when he studied abroad. He chose the American University of Beirut to
learn more about the Middle East and to satisfy curiosities about a cultural region
he left so long ago.
What John found was a population of open-minded people in “the most beautiful city in the world, where you can meet people from 10 different religions and
races and talk to them all.” Recalling the openness of the culture there, he smiles,
citing times when he was invited into neighbors’ homes so they could meet him.
Enjoying his first time away as an adult, John stayed past the semester’s end
into the summer, but war broke out during those heated months of ‘06. He was
shocked at the devastation, but humbled by the actions of the communities. “I
saw people of all classes take care of one another, whether it be with food or
with shelter.”
War taught John strength and gave him confidence. “You realize that life is
a gift that can be taken away at any second; and in seeing people of all faiths
pull together, I have come to love my fellow man.” The challenges people faced
opened his eyes to the harsh reality of war. These memories, and a deeper awareness of understanding and compassion, remain with him today.
As he enters his senior year at Suffolk, John looks forward to a future at
law school. He credits his growth abroad for opening his eyes to life’s realities.
“Studying abroad, especially in Beirut, made me appreciate all the privileges we
have in the U.S. and to recognize that we truly do live in the land of opportunity;
what a waste to let those opportunities slip by.”
Andrew Curley, 24
Hometown: Navajo Reservation, NM
Major: General Psychology Minor: Film Studies
SP07 ANDREW CURLEY
Andrew Curley learns best by getting involved. Tall and soft spoken, he
became active in raising awareness at his school in Santa Monica, California.
“I heard information about fair trade on the radio, and wondered how I could
leverage the cause.”
After working on campus petitions, Andrew interned with Global Exchange,
an international human rights organization, traveling to South America on vision
summits. In Nicaragua, visiting coffee farms and processing plants, he saw the
struggle of underpaid farmers. “The most inspiring part of the trip was interacting
with the hard working Nicaraguans who toil tirelessly,” Andrew says, “and seeing
the positive outlook they maintain despite their difficult circumstances.”
At Suffolk, Andrew petitioned for fair trade coffee in school cafeterias and
succeeded. He went on to InterFuture programs in Tanzania and Ghana, learning about the “lack of opportunity for youth there.” His trips to coffee farms
abroad have solidified his beliefs. “If organizations would sacrifice a small portion of their profit for Fair Trade certification and payment, they could make a
tremendous difference in the lives of those producers from whom they procure
their products.”
Andrew became vocal in the Boston Fair Trade Coalition, and used his growing knowledge to strengthen United Students for Fair Trade. In 2005, his personal
writings were published in Letters from Young Activists after Suffolk professor
Mark Rudd encouraged him to send a submission to the editors. “Looking at
local action on campus and seeing it as a reporter, I need to inspire change,” says
Andrew, who also contributes numerous editorials to The Suffolk Journal.
For the future, Andrew plans to attend graduate school to study social policy
and Indian issues in economic development. He hopes to use fair trade to educate student communities, and he still emphasizes the great importance of “making U.S. students aware of their connection to a greater world community and
their responsibilities to it.”

submitted to Salamander for publication in future issues of the
literary journal.
Text//JENNIFER BARBER IMAGES//KINDRA CLINEFF
Salamander
A Little Magazine With Big Plans
Literary magazines are like indie films: they
exist to present new talent and showcase new visions.
Over time, those talents and visions become known
to a wider circle, influencing the future direction of the
arts and the public’s appreciation for the arts.
I first became aware of literary journals—sometimes called little magazines to distinguish them from
the larger-format, glossy commercial magazines—
through publications such as Kayak, Georgia Review,
and Poetry, which captivated me in the 1970s both
as a reader and an aspiring writer. Each had a distinctive look and feel; each published very different
kinds of writing.
In the late 1980s, I began to notice that few literary magazines had been started by my generation.
I wanted to create a magazine that would highlight
outstanding, little-known writers, connecting them
with an audience of readers.
[22]
SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2007
Alumni Magazine
One fall, while working intensively on some
poems of my own in upstate New York, I saw a salamander by the side of the road, a brilliant orangepink against the dry gold grasses. In poems by Keats
and the French poet Robert Marteau, the salamander of myth, capable of withstanding fire, symbolizes
endurance, transformation, and the power of imagination. It was a fitting concept for the new journal,
and Salamander subsequently made its debut in
1992—80 pages, perfect-bound, with a cover illustration of a dress floating out of a suitcase. Today, 24
issues later, the magazine is thriving.
Many of the writers who appeared in Salamander
early in their careers have flourished. We have published fiction by writers who went on to receive the
Pen/Hemingway Award, the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. Our
poets and translators have also earned major honors
�“� stimulating, eclectic selection of fiction, poetry, and memoir…
A
work that will stay in your mind long after you finish the magazine.” —NewPages website
and awards, among them the National Book Award,
the Guggenheim Fellowship, the Times Literary Supplement Translation Prize, and the Walt Whitman Award.
Salamander and Suffolk: a Synergy
I joined the Suffolk English Department faculty in
2004, and Salamander relocated from my attic to its
new office in the Fenton Building. With support from
Suffolk, the magazine is moving forward on several
fronts. Valerie Duff-Strautmann and Catherine Parnell have joined the magazine as poetry and fiction
editors, respectively; Peter Brown is senior editor,
and I continue as editor-in-chief. We’ve increased
the amount of fiction we publish, and we’ve added
a portfolio of visual art in each
issue. Submissions to the magazine from all parts of the country—and from overseas—are up
dramatically.
The synergy between Salamander and Suffolk works in multiple ways. Salamander’s ongoing presence at Suffolk highlights
the College’s commitment to literature. Readings sponsored by
professors Anthony Merzlak and
Fred Marchant bring renowned
writers to the College’s new
Poetry Center, the perfect venue
for these events. Salamander’s
subscribers and others in the literary community have begun to
take note of Suffolk as an important place for literary events in
Boston. In addition, Suffolk students with an interest in creative writing and publishing have the opportunity to serve as Salamander
interns, gaining valuable experience in all aspects of
magazine production.
Salamander has big plans for the future. In order
to continue to attract the best emerging and established writers to our pages, we aim to increase the
honoraria we pay, through a fundraising campaign
focused on garnering significant individual donations.
We are also in the process of broadening our subscriber base through mailings and advertising, and
we’ve been taking an active role in literary publishing
conferences on both the national and regional level.
The launching of an annual Salamander Fiction and
Poetry Prize will allow us to identify new talent and
further raise our profile.
When I put Salamander’s first issue side by side
with our current issue, I find striking differences and
similarities. The current issue is nearly twice as long,
has a full-color cover and eight-page art portfolio inside, and includes considerably more fiction;
a 10-page book review section
rounds out the magazine, keeping our readers informed of new
titles. But there’s a fundamental
similarity: both offer evocative
new literary works, works that
have the power to challenge and
delight readers with the worlds
they create.
The poet Frank Stanford
once wrote in a letter to Michael
Cuddihy, editor of Ironwood,
“There is only one train running for poets…the little magazines are the box cars, hauling our goods.” I feel privileged
to edit Salamander at Suffolk: I
have the lucky task of loading up
the box cars with one-of-a-kind
goods on the way to readers.
Like those readers, I get to listen
early on to the new voices and visions that continue
to shape the way we understand our world.
Jennifer Barber is assistant professor of English at Suffolk. Her
poetry collection Rigging the Wind received the Kore Press First Book
Award in 2002 and was published in 2003. She is the recipient of a
2004 Pushcart Prize and a 2005 St. Botolph Foundation Grant-in-Aid.
Girlfriends Braiding
Each Other’s Hair
(for Chip)
But now they are safe: one seated
before the slender and dutiful other,
the ivory handled mirror that has stayed
in her family glass-up on the rug; the sunlight
finding its own temporal girlishness,
while one brushes her best friend’s
sacrum-length hair, lifts a swath at a time of it
into her palm and untangles it first
without pulling; then strokes it
from root to end with the boar bristles,
weaving it in, and does the same
with the next and the third
although they were fighting
and crying an hour ago over a boy,
over who had turned in the best
essay on freedom. They have reached this
feminine peace and their faces
are faces of women
they will be in good time, women
who have always done this in the end:
not only two but a circle of women,
seated, not facing each other.

Suffolk’s DISTANT
Dramatic tides and hands-on research characterize a living laboratory in Maine
The group of Suffolk biology students gathered on the shore of Cobscook Bay
on the Maine coast surely could think of other things to do—like sleeping in—on the
sparkling Saturday morning of Columbus Day weekend.

�Below: East Quoddy Head Light on Campobello Island marks the
eastern passage of the Passamoquoddy-Cobscook Bay Complex.
To reach the lighthouse, students cross the intertidal zone at low
tide, or pass by on whalewatching trips.
Below Right: Freshman Erica Feather hikes along a trail in West
Quoddy Head State Park in Lubec. Students visit the park frequently
to explore the rocky cliffs and high vantage points characteristic of
northern Maine’s coastline.
Nothing, however, would have produced the
slack-jawed awe they experienced as they watched
the 24-foot spring tide thundering out of the bay.
Churning up the 500-yard gap between Falls Island
and Mahar Point with white water, the torrent tossed
logs and other flotsam on its current like toothpicks.
As the tide approached the tipping point between
going out and coming in through Cobscook Reversing Falls, Suffolk University Associate Professor of
Biology Carl Merrill urged the group of students, scientists, researchers and visitors to observe quietly.
“Just listen and watch,” he said.
In a silence punctuated only by the muffled riffle of water as it slowed to a stop, the tide gently
reversed course and headed back into the Bay, picking up speed and volume as millions of gallons of
water flowed back toward Canada’s New Brunswick
shore on the Bay of Fundy.
This dramatic scene has been playing out on the
shores of Cobscook Bay four times daily (two high
tides, two low) for as long as the present day topography of Maine’s coast has existed. Professor Merrill has
watched it countless times since he began bringing
Suffolk students to Reversing Falls in 1982. That was
the year he became coordinator of the Friedman Field
Station, Suffolk’s crown jewel of a distant outpost, and
the home base for this crowd of appreciative spectators gathered on a spectacular autumn morning.
Located in the township of Edmunds – a speck
on the map if there ever was one – the Friedman Field
Station is a well-kept Suffolk secret. Although it is
well known in the scientific community, it hardly registers beyond those circles.
This lack of recognition preserves the station’s
solitude, says research assistant Mateja Nenadovic.
A native of Belgrade, Serbia, Nenadovic attended
Suffolk’s Madrid, Spain campus before coming to
Boston to study. He graduated with a biology degree
and is now enrolled in the Marine Biology master’s
program at the University of Maine/Orono.
“This is an amazing place,” he notes, an early
morning blaze in the fieldstone fireplace crackling
behind him in the station’s main building and cafeteria. “I’ve been coming here since my junior year in the
biology program at Suffolk in 2003 and every year I
can’t wait to come back. It’s so beautiful. From a scientific viewpoint there is no replacement for being in
the field and observing nature. I’ve benefited greatly
from this place.”
Nenadovic and others who are familiar with the
station say that Suffolk could take better advantage of it, using it as a tool to draw new students

and to promote the university on a wider scale. It is
a resource that many other higher education institutions would love to have, agree two visiting scientists
from North Carolina who are gathering field research
on the spawning habits of blue mussels.
The station sits on land donated by Professor
Robert Friedman, the former chair of the biology program at Suffolk. He also donated money toward the
construction of some of the buildings at the station.
A consortium of New England colleges put up more
money to construct additional buildings and the station was formally opened in 1973 by Dr. Arthur West,
a longtime biology department chair at Suffolk.
It has grown and evolved over the years, but the
overall sense of the place is of a rustic summer camp.
Set back off a quiet country road, the station consists of a cluster of faded green structures: the main
building, a number of simple research buildings, and a
gathering of basic cabins for visitors. A sand volleyball
court, a basketball hoop and a small solar dome constructed by the Suffolk Physics Department to produce hot water round out the station’s amenities.
“We’ve tried to keep it really unobtrusive and
to blend into the natural environment,” says Merrill,
who became the director of the station in 1998. “The
cabins, for example, were designed to replace tents

and to break down some of the isolation of the modern world.”
They succeed with virtually every group of students that makes the eight-hour trek from Boston,
points out the station’s educational program coordinator, Francine Rodman. A native of Cape Cod who
now lives in nearby Lubec, Rodman raises turkeys
and “wrinkles” (local vernacular for gathering snails
for the Asian and European markets) when she’s not
at the station during the summer. She says that a
common thread binds all of the groups together.
“The first night they arrive it’s so quiet you can
hear a pin drop. By the time the last night rolls around
people are laughing, playing Twister, acting goofy
together,” Rodman remarks.
The station’s remoteness, rudimentary facilities, and geographic beauty, as well as its focus on
the timeless and complex rhythms of the natural
marine world, influence students profoundly, Rodman observes.
“When it’s time to go you get some crying. It’s a
pretty unique place in that regard.”
This Columbus Day weekend gathering is the last
of the summer. On Monday, the station will be closed
for the year, as visiting groups of biology, ecology and
field botany students give way to the howling winds
and lockjaw cold of a Downeast Maine winter.
Now though, that frozen future seems far away. As
the sun warms and evaporates the morning dew, the
students walk down to the touch tank set up in a lab on
the shores of the inlet. Urchins, mussels, sea cucumbers, lobster and other indigenous creatures dwell in
the tank, which is supplied with pumped in sea water.
Patrick Spain, a 2002 Suffolk biology graduate

three tow-headed boys a moon snail enveloping a

animal observer could spot. Since graduating, Spain
has worked in the biotechnology field in Cambridge, a
common landing spot for biology graduates. It is clear,
however, that the lanky, infectiously enthusiastic Spain
would rather be outside the confines of a laboratory.
“My passion is to be outdoors observing nature. I love
field work and I got my real taste for it here. This place
opened my eyes to the beauty of the natural world,” he
notes. Showing the three visitors the faint marks of a
recent rattlesnake bite (it was defanged), Spain explains
that he is in conversation with Animal Planet and Discovery Channel about producing and hosting a TV show
about the natural world. The pilot, recently shot in Arizona, has been well received, he adds.

In his enthusiasm for the natural world, Patrick
Spain demonstrates the value of a place like the
Friedman Field Station. While the world buzzes and
hums with distortion—cell phones and satellite TV,
chat rooms and in-your-face advertising—the hushed
beauty of Cobscook Bay invites contemplation and
intellectual curiosity, the pillars of learning.
“I’ve never been anywhere so completely isolated
and so serene,” says Kevin Jordan, an environmental
science freshman at Suffolk, as he sits and looks out
at Reversing Falls. “I’m really glad I came.”

SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2007
This remarkable collection of skill isn’t a new phenomenon for Suffolk University. What is new, however, is the renovation of the C. Walsh Theatre and
the growth of the Theatre Department. Suffolk University has given both the C. Walsh and the Department unprecedented support in recent years, demonstrating a greater emphasis on the arts than ever
before and a new direction for the University.
Renovate and renew
In October of 2006, the University completed the
first of a three-phase renovation of the C. Walsh Theatre. Principal architect Alan Joslin of Epstein/Joslin
Architects specializes in performance venues and his
design for the C. Walsh represents his warm, modern
aesthetic yet still retains a sense of the original space
and reflects the University’s youthful energy.

framing the front of the stage, and elegant wood paneling enrobes the orchestra. “The colors and materials in the space are intrinsic to Beacon Hill,” explains
assistant professor Richard Chambers, an awardwinning set designer. “They have just been reinterpreted in a modern way. It’s new, but it fits.”
Built in 1920 as “the Auditorium,” the space was
a silent movie house during the day and a lecture hall
for the Law School at night. The University used the
revenue from the movie house to help finance the
operations of the school. In November, 1936, Gleason Archer started the first student theatre group, the
Suffolk Players.
The space underwent its first major renovation
in 1987 with the generous support of Thomas and
Laura Walsh, at which point the Auditorium was
rededicated as the C. Walsh Theatre and the Anne
Walsh Lobby, after Mr. Walsh’s parents. While many
aesthetic and technical improvements were made,
challenges remained.
�Above: “One! Singular sensation...” The full cast of Centennial: about
a hundred years performs the finale from the Japanese version of A
Chorus Line, in an exploration of the meaning of 100.
Plotkins is enthusiastic about the renovation plan.
“When I first arrived here 25 years ago, people told me
I’d never get any more than what I had,” she smiles.
“That proved to be a great motivator for me.”
Something out of nothing
By the new millennium, and with the Centennial
celebration approaching, Theatre Department chair
Dr. Marilyn Plotkins thought there couldn’t be a better time to tackle a major project. “My ambition was
to create a master plan, because my interest wasn’t
just to ‘spruce up’ the space but to also investigate
the needs of the various users of the C. Walsh and
create a cohesive multi-use facility.”
Joslin conducted interviews with all the primary
users of the space and developed a renovation plan.
Phase One addressed the aesthetic concerns of
the lower chamber and lobby, added a wheelchair
accessible bathroom, improved the lighting system
and installed a loading door to minimize unnecessary wear on the space and impact on the neighbors. Phases Two and Three, pending approval and
funding, will upgrade the sightlines and finishes in
the balcony, replace the rigging system, remove the
old proscenium arch and reconfigure the crowded
backstage area.
The recent renewal of the C. Walsh Theatre is, in many
ways, a physical reflection of the growth of the Theatre
Department. When Plotkins began her career as the
University’s first theatre professor under the umbrella
of the Communication and Journalism Department in
1982, her arrival signaled a new era for the arts at Suffolk University. “I was hired to create a real student
program,” she says, “to teach classes and integrate
student theatre into the academic curriculum in support of an interdisciplinary theatre major.”
Prior to her arrival, the principal occupants of the
C. Walsh Theatre were a student drama club and
a few professional theatre companies who rented
the space. While the college offered a few theatre
classes, no theatre major existed.
Cobbling together the courses she taught with
curricula from the English and Humanities Departments, Plotkins developed a major and gave students valuable performance experience that had
previously not existed. She directed one show a year
and created an opportunity for students to direct
one-act plays. She also founded the Boston Music
Theatre Project (BMTP), a professional program that
developed new musicals on campus. The momentum of the theatre program was building.
Plotkins built the ideology of the program around
a principle of openness, encouraging all students
www.suffolk.edu
in the University to participate in classes and productions. “I was a communication [and journalism]
major, but it was really easy to jump into theatre
here, even as a senior,” says Wayne Chin, class of
’99 and now the Theatre Department’s assistant to
the technical director.
When Suffolk introduced a residential option for
undergraduates, students could more easily participate in artistic activities that required long hours on
campus, and in turn the University began attracting
more students who desired an artistic component in
their education.
Around the same time, Suffolk acquired the New
England School of Art and Design (NESAD). As Dean
Greenberg notes, “They are now one of the most
prosperous parts of the university.” In light of the
successes of the dorms and NESAD, the University
decided to take another risk and in 1999 established
an independent Theatre Department.
With the construction of the new Law School
facility, Plotkins successfully lobbied to move the Theatre Department into the vacated space in the Archer
Building. Over a matter of months, the old Pallot Law
Library, with the help of a generous gift by Quinlan J.
Sullivan, Jr., was transformed into a multi-purpose
performance and classroom space now known as
the Studio Theatre.
The acquisition of the Studio Theatre was crucial
in supporting students to write, direct and develop
original work. “One of the most impressive signs of
robust health in a theatre department is when students, on their own, propose to direct plays that
they’ve written,” observes Savick. “Our students
SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2007
[33]
�have been encouraged to put themselves in a place
of self-reliance and make something out of nothing.”
The entrepreneurial spirit of the Department
can be seen in any number of its students—in Theo
Goodell, rehearsing his original play for the upcoming Spring Showcase in the Studio Theatre; in Erin
Schrutt, preparing for a national open call audition
with Savick in his office; in Brian Liberge, reviewing the principles of design with Chambers; and in
Rachel Kelsey, spending the summer working with
Cornerstone Theatre Company on an adaptation of
A Midsummer Night’s Dream with a working-class
community in California. The list goes on.
Looking forward
In addition to space, the University supported an
expansion of the faculty and staff. The results have
been astounding. Ten years ago, Plotkins taught six
classes and only eight students majored or minored
in theatre. Today, 17 faculty members (including
adjuncts) teach 35 classes and 87 students declare a
theatre major or minor. The Department now requires
more classroom, rehearsal and performance space
than the Studio can provide alone.

The theatre program is built around a principle of openness, encouraging all
students in the University to participate in classes and productions.
“I see the arts as one of the central areas of
growth in the college over the last several years and
it’s going to continue that way in the future,” says
Dean Greenberg. “A liberal arts education has to
educate a whole person to live a full life, and for me,
the center of the human experience is seeing and
participating in artistic enterprises.”
Even with the growing numbers of students
enrolling in the theatre program, Plotkins will be the
first to admit it’s not about quantity. “I’ve always told
people that I have the best students in the university, and I have always believed it.” Theatre majors,
like many Suffolk students, juggle a variety of commitments. The necessity of putting into practice the
lessons learned in the classroom requires even more
time of already busy students.
“I’ve always felt really at home here,” says senior
Jonathan Orsini, who made his professional theatre
debut in the fall as the melancholy hero of Company
One’s critically-acclaimed After Ashley. “Everyone is
so open and friendly, I know even after I graduate, I
can always come back here.”
Since the beginning, the Theatre Department
has been home to students with the ability and interest to create. As the Department continues to grow,
maintaining an open community remains paramount
to the mission, not unlike Gleason Archer’s original
mission for the school. “Right now we are in the best
place we have ever been,” says Plotkins. “We have
a dynamic community of theatre professionals here
who are smart and gifted and deeply invested in the
richness of our students’ experience.”
Plotkins doesn’t plan to slow the pace of
the Department anytime soon. Begin Again, the
new musical BMTP developed with Suffolk students last year, is currently in development with
the ASCAP/Disney Musical Theatre Workshop.
Savick, who recently received tenure, has created a professional showcase opportunity for students and recent alumni in the National Theatre
of Allston, and Chambers has forged a new outlet
for student designers.

stage will hold.

SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2007
“This didn’t happen,” says James Carroll, awardwinning author, Boston Globe columnist, and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Suffolk University’s
College of Arts and Sciences. “But it should have.”
The scene comes from the novel Mortal Friends,
the first of Carroll’s planned trilogy about the Irish
in Boston. It reveals an indisputable fact about its
author: He has an ardent and intimate knowledge
of Beacon Hill. A Chicago native and former Paulist
priest, Carroll moved to Boston in 1969 to serve as
Catholic chaplain at Boston University. He has lived
on Beacon Hill for most of the years since.
“Beacon Hill is among the most civilized two hundred acres in the United States,” he says, citing “the
architectural perfection of Beacon Hill, the way the
bricks relate to each other, the grace of the bow-
Alumni Magazine
fronted buildings, the beauty of the windows, the
perfect scale of the neighborhood.”
Carroll discerns the neighborhood’s social architecture with equal clarity, alert to the irony that he, the
grandson of Irish immigrants, now strides with a sense
of belonging through streets that would have tolerated
his forebears only as washerwomen and serving girls.
“The Irish came here as outsiders,” he says. “They
were desperate. They didn’t come here because they
wanted to. They came here because they were going
to die if they didn’t. And Boston was not particularly welcoming to them. But Irish people stayed and
eventually Boston opened itself to them.”
Carroll tells this story in Mortal Friends and The
City Below, novels peopled with Irish revolutionaries
and waterfront bootleggers, ward politicians, a Kennedy or two, and priests devout and corrupt. Defying
the Brahmin stranglehold, the Irish ascend into City
Hall and the State House. Gangsters from Southie and
Charlestown attempt to gouge the Italian competition
from the city’s underbelly. No one wins these wars.
The City Below tumbles through the racial poli-
�tics that cleaved this city in the 1970s. Carroll himself bore witness to the busing crisis. Just out of the
priesthood, making his way as a writer, he rode as
a volunteer monitor on school buses bringing black
children to school in predominantly white neighborhoods of the city.
“We rode those buses at 60 miles an hour, with
police escort, to avoid having stones thrown at the
windows. We were instructed to make all the kids lie
down on the floor. That’s how frightening it was.”
He responded to these events with anger and
shame. “And the shame I felt prompted me to say,
‘I’m going to write a novel that explains why these
folks are acting like this.’”
This is a measure of the man: The acts of violence by white Bostonians horrified him. He felt
shamed personally and acted upon that feeling artistically. The masterful writing that emerged heralded
what would become his hallmark as a writer: He
invites readers into his life as a way of exploring matters of social and political importance—war, religion,
prejudice, redemption.
Nowhere does Carroll extend this invitation more
generously than in An American Requiem: God, My
Father, and The War That Came Between Us, for
which he won the1996 National Book Award for nonfiction. Here he depicts a nation gashed on the home
front by a war that also alienated him, a peace activist priest, from his father, an Air Force general and
director of the Defense Intelligence Agency during
the bleakest years of the Vietnam War. “The broadly
political is always personal for me,” he writes. “War
had come down to the war between us.”
Carroll’s hallmark generosity has been at the
service of Suffolk University since he joined the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences as Distinguished Scholar in Residence a year ago. Pulled
often from his Fenton building office, he addresses
many classes on topics ranging from the Vietnam
War to Catholic views of stem cell research to Just
War theory. He has visited classes of aspiring undergraduate fiction and memoir writers, participated in
the campus-wide Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), and spoken at numerous conferences
www.suffolk.edu
held on campus. Whether invited to read from his
latest book, House of War: The Pentagon and the
Disastrous Rise of American Power, or to meet with
a small group of freshmen, Carroll typically responds,
“I would be honored.”
The College is honored to welcome James Carroll to its faculty. The fit could not be better. The mind
that conjured a Curley incursion into Louisburg Square
surely belongs at the University that planted itself on
Beacon Hill 100 years ago. Suffolk University scaled
the fence of ethnic exclusion, pried open the rarified
enclaves of higher education, and threw wide its gates
to all qualified applicants. One great renegade on the
Hill has gained the friendship of another.
Yet as Carroll gazes from his office window at
the brick-fronted row houses on Hancock Street, he
seems less the rabble rouser than the adoring son of
a great metropolis. “I just love this city,” he says. “I am
a citizen in love with Boston.”

Above: Award-winning poet Martha Collins reads
from her book, Blue Front, at Suffolk University’s
new Poetry Center.
A Poetry Center’s Time Has Come
A spacious, sunlit room on the third floor of the
new Sawyer Library is ready for the afternoon reading—
rows of chairs face the podium, window blinds filter
glare from the sun, and refreshments wait on a table
in the adjacent room. Gradually people arrive, looking
around the new Poetry Center before selecting a seat
to wait. Some haven’t yet seen the attractive space—
its tall windows overlooking the historic Granary
Burying Ground, large tables and comfortable chairs
inviting quiet contemplation or lively workshops, and
French doors leading to a smaller room with reading
chairs and a wall lined end-to-end with old, leatherbound books—the Zieman Poetry Collection.
The discovery of these volumes by English professor and poet Fred Marchant inspired him and Sawyer
Library Director Bob Dugan to create the Poetry Center
last year. The collection of classic poetry books, dating
from 1675 to 1930, was donated to Suffolk in 1956 by
Irving Zieman but sat unnoticed in library archives for
decades. Zieman did not go to college, but he wrote
and published four books of his own poetry, which,
says library director Bob Dugan, is what makes the
collection so valuable. “He used the collection to teach
himself about poetry, and that to me is all about Suffolk,” says Dugan. “Students here work hard.”
Marchant says the comprehensive collection
is a valuable research tool. “It’s great for teaching
purposes, because students can actually look at
it and use it,” he says, unlike rare book collections
which are often under lock and key. Dugan and
Marchant hope to add both rare and contemporary books of poetry, as well as literary journals,
to the collection.
As the start time for the scheduled reading
approaches, the larger of the two rooms fills. All 50
seats are taken and the space nears capacity with
standing-room only for the crowd. Marchant welcomes the visitors and with customary eloquence
and unmistakeable admiration, he introduces
award-winning poet Martha Collins, author of five
books of poetry. She begins with an excerpt from
her book-length poem, Blue Front, and the audi-

ence listens, somber and intent, to her words of a

Collins is one of numerous acclaimed authors
and poets to read at the Poetry Center this year,
including Harvard Professor Helen Vendler, awardwinning poets David Rivard and Grace Paley, and
National Book Award winning novelist Larry Heinemann. The Poetry Center also hosted receptions
for Distinguished Scholar in Residence James Carroll and Distinguished Visiting Scholar Maxine Hong
Kingston, as well as creative writing workshops and
panel discussions, and is becoming well known in
the Boston literary community due to efforts to sponsor and publicize readings by major writers.
“Boston should see this as a resource, as a contribution to the cultural life of the city,” says Marchant. He hopes the Poetry Center will eventually
become a magnet for grant support and individual
donations as well as be able to sponsor nationally
recognized contests and awards, bringing a higher
profile to Suffolk University.
�M.A. in Women’s Health
On the leading edge of women’s studies, Suffolk
University will launch a M.A. in Women’s Health in
fall 2007. The first graduate program of its kind in
the country, the innovative sociology program will
educate students on the sociological, legal, and
political aspects of women’s health and build knowledge about fundraising, media relations, and legislative advocacy.
“We want to help train a new generation of
advocates and educators to promote women’s
health,” says Amy Agigian, director of the program
and founder of the Center for Women’s Health and
Human Rights at Suffolk. “There are so many people in fields related to women’s health who want
more background on the issues.”
Students will take courses related to current issues
that affect women, including reproductive health, eat-
ing disorders and body image, and the health concerns of an aging population. The Center has a “broad
network in the women’s health community with a similar vision of empowering women,” says Agigian, and
will provide many internship opportunities.
The new graduate program will prepare students for careers in a variety of fields for which little
formal education currently exists, such as patient
advocacy, reproductive health education and policy, domestic violence prevention, and cross-cultural women’s health promotion. Although geared
toward non-clinicians, the program complements
clinical training. “It will enhance the ability to work
with women clients,” says Agigian. “This is a crucial
time to educate professionals who can speak to,
and challenge, the emerging dominant discourses
around women’s health.”
B.S. in Environmental Studies
Students interested in the environment
have a new major in the fall of 2007 with the introduction of a Bachelor of Science in Environmental
Studies. This interdisciplinary program, developed by chemistry and biochemistry professor
Martha Richmond, offers students the opportunity to examine not only science, but also policy,
the humanities and ethical and social justice
issues. “Students need the skills to understand
complex environmental issues beyond a narrow
focus,” says Richmond.
Students will be able to tailor the four-year
curriculum to their individual interests, completing both an internship and a senior-year capstone course, and taking courses in the natural
sciences, social sciences, and humanities that
focus on environmental issues. Several environmental ethics and law courses will further broaden
students’ understanding of the environment.
Suffolk offers many opportunities to connect classroom learning about the environment
with real-world application, including hands-on
research, practical experience, and field work.
The program offers trips to Costa Rica—well
known for its environmental preservation efforts,
and other parts of Latin America, and is investigating possibilities in Australia and New Zealand.
Suffolk also has an invaluable resource in its
Friedman Field Station in Maine, where programs
are offered throughout the summer. Boston itself
is home to many environmental organizations,
such as the regional Environmental Protection

Celebrating Suffolk
THROUGH SONG
Spanish celebrity Emilio Aragón talks about his newest
work as a composer
With the Centennial year approaching, President David J. Sargent felt that
the time was right for the creation of a new alma mater for Suffolk University. Dean
Kenneth S. Greenberg asked his former history student and internationally known
composer Emilio Aragon to write the music. Aragón agreed, on the condition
that English professor Fred Marchant write the lyrics. On September 21, 2006,
eight singers and three musicians performed the song under a packed tent at the
University’s Centennial celebration. The day before, just in from Madrid, the Spanish
singer, actor, producer, musician, director, writer, celebrity, and Suffolk alumnus met
with Dean Greenberg and Suffolk Arts+Sciences to talk about the alma mater, the
next day’s concert, and the role Suffolk University has played in his life.
Arts+Sciences [A+S] What was your inspiration for composing Suffolk’s new
alma mater?
Above: Emilio Aragón, recipient of an undergraduate
degree in History and an honorary PhD degree in Art.
Emilio Aragón [EA] The first time I came here, in 1998, after two years at the
Madrid campus, I met Ken [Greenberg]. Ken has been my big brother, my friend,
my father sometimes. Knowing his work in the field of the African American community and slavery was very influential for me as I sat down and wrote the alma
mater song…. I was born in Cuba and afrocuban music has been very influential
in my composing.
Ken Greenberg [KG] The wonderful thing about the song, which makes it fit
Suffolk University, is the way in which it is malleable and reflects the diversity of
the student body and the people who are here.
[EA] This is a song that can be sung in very different ways. You can do it very
classical, with lyrical voices, you can sing it with a guitar, or you can sing it like
we’re going to sing it tomorrow, gospel style. We’ve moved the words, the tempo,
to make it fit this gospel style. And we hope that tomorrow we can, as you say,
rock the house. It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it. The good thing about
the arrangements and the people singing it is that it’s done really with the heart.
If you feel part of this University, if you really feel a member of this big family, the
lyrics will touch you. For me, you have to understand that being Spanish, living in
Madrid, but being an ex-Suffolk student, it’s going to be a very special moment.
Below: Aragón conducts the chorus at the Centennial
Celebration.
[A+S] Can you tell us about your work as a composer and entertainer?
[EA] My story is quite funny and curious, because I am the fourth generation of a
family dedicated to comedy, but I study music in Spain. I started when my father
and my uncles were doing a TV show for kids. I started doing clowning. Then I
had my own TV comedy show, and since 1982-83, I’ve been doing television in
Spain, and theatre.
[KG] Emilio’s father is very famous in his own right. He wrote the Happy Birthday
Song which everybody in Spain sings, probably the most sung piece of music
[46]
SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2007

�in Spain. He also at one point toured with Buster
Keaton in the US. He and his brothers were almost
equivalent to the Marx brothers in Spain.
[EA] My father’s Spanish, my mother’s Cuban. My
father left Spain in 1945 with a theatre company. They
were going to tour for 3-4 months in America. It was
post-civil war in Spain, a very difficult moment. When
they finished touring, the company was coming back
to Spain, and my father said, What are we going to
do in Spain with Franco over there? So they had two
contracts on top of the table, one for Cuba and one
for Columbia, and my father and his two brothers
said let’s flip a coin. And that’s exactly what they did.
Heads Cuba, tails Columbia. It came out heads and
they went to Cuba, and there I was born. We left
Cuba in 1960 and came to America, where we lived
in Chicago for five years. Here they had the opportunity to work on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Merv Griffin
Show, tour with Buster Keaton, etcetera. Then after
a very successful career in South America, where, as
Ken says, in countries like Argentina or Venezuela,
or Puerto Rico or Mexico, the Birthday Song is my
father’s song, we arrived in Spain in ’73, three years
after Franco’s death, and then we stayed. My father
had a TV show in Spain, so I had the opportunity of
making a try. And here I am after many years.
But the turning point for me was Suffolk. In 199495 I had the opportunity of doing a TV series, Médico
de familia, Family Doctor, and one of the episodes
was the most watched episode in Spanish television—when my character got married to the female
character. It was a prime time TV series that ran for
five years and could have run another five or ten
years. But for me it was very tough because of everything, the work and popularity. So one day I was driving the car, literally, and I stopped, and I said, “This
is it, I have to change.” I went home—and I’m lucky
enough to have a wife who doesn’t say no easily—
and I asked her, “What if we just quit and go to the
States, to Boston, and take a sabbatical year?” And
that’s exactly what we did.
After my two years at Suffolk Madrid, where I
started studying just to practice my English and to
start reading, we came here to Boston. After that sabbatical year, I kept flying every month to Boston. I went
to the New England Conservatory, I studied composition with John Heiss, and orchestra conducting with
Richard Hoenich, and when I went back to Spain I had
two or three commissions on the table—I composed
a musical tale, “El soldadito de plomo,” The Little Tin
Soldier, and another one, “La flor más grande del
mundo,” both recorded by Deutsche Grammophon
for a CD that was the most sold classical music CD
in 2004. I composed the classical music score for a
Snow-White Ballet, featuring the lead dancer from the
London Royal Ballet, Tamara Rojo. And now the alma
mater from Boston. I can’t be happier.
Right now I’m commissioned by the Royal Opera
House in Madrid to inspire an audience that doesn’t
usually go to the Opera House. I’m starting to compose an operetta called “The Do It Yourself Opera.”
The main idea is to start with an empty stage; I walk
out and we start to build an opera in two hours, finishing with the orchestra and the designing, the actors,
singers, and everything.
[A+S] You’ve been so successful in Spain and the
entertainment industry. What made you decide to go
back to school at Suffolk University?
[EA] It was because of English—I remember my sisters and I spoke English in our house in Chicago,
and my father decided that in school we could speak
English, but not at home, because we were forgetting
Spanish. Ten years ago I remember having a conversation with my sisters and suddenly I noticed that my
English was becoming terrible. So I said it would be
a good idea to study English but do it in an unofficial
way, and at the same time, study history.

family and I think that being the fourth generation of a
family of artists and comedians, you look at life from
a different angle. When Ken called to tell me that the
University decided to give me this honorary degree,
everybody in my family felt like the degree was being
given to each one of them. It was beautiful. I came with
my parents and my sister. Two other ones couldn’t
come, but they were calling me every ten minutes. It
was a beautiful, impossible-to-forget moment being
on stage and receiving the degree from Ken.

[A+S] What was it like living in Boston for a year?
[EA] For the first time in years, we could have a coffee
it’s very difficult to juggle when your show is cancelled
after success and suddenly, in a year, people forget
you. You really are at the top of a mountain, then
suddenly nobody calls you…and it’s a curious phenomenon because producers of other TV shows, if
you’ve been in a very successful show, say we’re not
going to call because he’s still ‘doctor whatever,’ so
let’s wait a couple years. So suddenly there are great
actors who nobody calls and they have to switch to
theatre or something else.
sitting in a park or I could take my kids to different places
without having to feel the popularity or to sign autographs…. I love the city because Boston has a lot going
on culturally. When I think about Boston, I always think
about music, literature, friends, and passeos, walks.
[KG] I had no idea how famous Emilio was until one
time, when he was in Boston, we got into an elevator
in the Sawyer building and a person in the elevator
suddenly threw himself against the wall and threw his
hands up, saying “Whoa, what’s going on here?” It
was a Spanish person who had recognized him. But
when we walk through the streets in Madrid, he can’t
take five steps without being stopped.
[EA] Now it’s better. I’m doing television but it’s a
new television channel starting with low ratings and
life is better now without popularity.

ble projects you’ve been involved with over the years,
which ones hold the most meaning for you?
[EA] I have a foundation in Spain called Magistralia,
with two partners. We try to focus on scholarships for
kids, and music, to bring classical music to families.
And also I’m a patron of the Acción contra el Hambre
(Action Against Hunger) Foundation in Spain. Every
year we fly to Africa to shoot a documentary to let
people know what is being done there with their donations. These are basically the two things I do besides
my profession and my work, and I am devoted.
[A+S] What will you address your attention to next?
[EA] I love sailing…I only need a little piano in my
sailboat to just sail away. I would be very happy if I
could have enough time to compose. And I think that
teaching is somewhere in my future. I would love to
have the opportunity to teach here at Suffolk—music
or the history of music. I’m a history major. I think
that’s a perfect combination: Boston, teaching, living
here, and sailing here, would be perfect.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
ALUMNI EVENTS
Dear Fellow Graduate,
Coming from the all-consuming world of
financial services, I know how challenging it
can be to stay connected to the important
people and places of our pasts. As a double-degree graduate (B.A. ’93, J.D. ’96) my
Suffolk affiliation has always meant a great
deal to me. I knew I wanted to maintain a
strong connection. I just wasn’t always sure
of the easiest way to do it in such a large,
diverse institution with so much going on.
As Alumni Board President for 2006-2007, my priority has been to make
all the Alumni Association has to offer accessible to busy professionals like you
and me. For me, planning is key. So, my colleagues on the board and I developed a calendar of Alumni Association events designed to be relevant, thoughtprovoking, and just plain fun. Just one example that fits all three categories
was the 10th Annual Department of Communication and Journalism Alumni &
Awards Ceremony in March. The evening honored Alumnus of the Year Shawn
Middleton ’90, MA ’91, Director of Public Affairs at Vinfen Corporation, and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Natalie Jacobson, WCVB-TV’s Emmy-winning anchor and reporter.
For alumni who would like to become further involved, we’ve made volunteering
easier than ever. Whether you serve as an ambassador for our admissions program,
provide assistance with career programming, or invest your time as an alumni representative for the board, your participation will be greatly valued.
Our goal is to make every interaction with your university, your college and your
alumni association a worthwhile and “user friendly” one. To know if we are succeeding, I ask for your feedback. Thank you for your support.
CJN Alumni Reception and Awards Ceremony
March 25, 2007
A special Centennial CJN Alumni Awards Reception and Awards Ceremony took
place in March, including a cocktail reception, awards presentation, networking

reporter, and the Alumnus of the Year Award to Shawn Middleton, BA’90, MA’01,
director of public affairs, Vinfen Corporation.

Dear Alumni,
Alumni Night at the Celtics
January 22, 2007
More than 125 alumni and friends braved the winter chill to watch the Boston
Celtics take on the San Antonio Spurs from the Halo Club. CAS alums Maureen Tighe, MEd’79, friend of Suffolk Maureen Matthews, and Dorothy Keveny,
MEd’80, take in the views and buffet dinner in the private club.
Centennial: about a hundred years
March 3, 2007
It was a night to celebrate as 65 alumni and friends came together in the Studio Theatre for a delightful reception and some conversation and reminiscing.
Warm greetings from Marilyn Plotkins, chair of the Theatre Department, kicked
off the evening followed by a welcome from director, author and Suffolk professor, Wes Savick. Guests proceeded to the VIP seating section in the C. Walsh
Theatre to witness an original performance to celebrate Suffolk’s birthday.
Stirrings of Spring
April 12, 2007
Alumni and friends gathered at The Suffolk Club of Boston at the Downtown Harvard Club for cocktails, hor d’oeuvres and an intriguing conversation with James
Bamford, ’72, JD’75, best-selling author, journalist, and producer, who shared his
perspectives in a talk entitled, “Warrantless Eavesdropping-Is the President Above
the Law?” The event was co-sponsored by the Department of Government and the
Alumni Association.
The Boston Massacre book signing
May 16, 2007
College of Arts and Sciences alumni enjoyed a special networking reception, lecture and book signing with Suffolk professor of history and noted author Robert Allison, who discussed his newest book, The Boston Massacre. The event took place
at The Old State House, the original site of the Boston Massacre.
When I arrived at Suffolk University in October to lead alumni relations for the College of
Arts and Sciences, I could see I had arrived
at a school of substance, steeped in the
history of the city and shaped by its own
compelling story.
I began as the University’s Alumni Association introduced a brand new look, featuring a logo designed to be an instantly
recognizable symbol of the many exciting
activities offered by the alumni association. I came here as we launched the Suffolk University Club of Boston, extending full membership privileges to alumni at
the Downtown Harvard Club of Boston.
In my efforts to get to know Suffolk University and the College of Arts and
Sciences, I applied my own background with alumni volunteer boards and clubs,
including 11 years of alumni relations experience with Northeastern University. I’ve
also been fortunate to be able to draw upon the expertise of Dean Ken Greenberg,
who has been enormously supportive of our outreach to alumni. Networking Nights
sponsored by The Greater New York and Boston Chapters offered opportunities
for social and career connections in a casual setting, while a special Evening at the
Theatre provided alumni with the perfect venue to celebrate the original production
of Theatre professor Wesley Savick’s play, Centennial: About a Hundred Years. This
spring brought food for thought (bestselling author James Bamford BA ’72, JD ‘75
on politics; renowned history professor Robert J. Allison on history) and thoughts of
food (the Boston Chapter’s annual chocolate tasting).
In my brief time here, I’ve quickly discovered what you already know: that CAS has
a history and culture all its own. So I’m hoping to tap into your knowledge of Suffolk
University and the College of Arts and Sciences. As we plan future events, I encourage
your feedback and your participation. My goal is to make the alumni association a true
reflection of you, its constituents. I look forward to catching up with you soon.
Warm Regards,

On a Green Note: This issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences marks an important new
direction for the production of the magazine. We spent our first year developing an
award-winning publication; the second year was time to think about sustainability,
and focus as much on the materials and printing of the magazine as we did on the
pages inside. We selected a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified printer, Royle
Printing in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, committed to conservation-minded operating
practices that make it a good steward to the environment. FSC certification, “the
mark of responsible forestry,” extends to paper choices as well, and this issue is
printed on recycled FSC-certified Sappi Opus Dull, with 30% post consumer waste.
In addition, we continue to offer a paper-less digital edition of the magazine online.
We’re a few steps further along in our mission to be more environmentally responsible, and we’ll keep on walking.

�from 41 temple//THE DEAN’S LETTER
a letter from the dean
We published the first issue of
Suffolk Arts + Sciences last year with the
word “Encore!” splashed across the cover,
in reference to the lead story on Suffolk’s C.
Walsh Theatre. We did not quite expect the
applause that followed: words of appreciation
from across the Suffolk community—“Bravo!”
“Knockout!” “Congratulations on an outstanding publication!”—plus five national awards.
What means most to us, however, are the
kudos and suggestions from our alumni, who
responded with enthusiasm.
This fall we bring you the second issue
of Suffolk Arts + Sciences. The “Journey” of
the cover story refers literally to the Alternative
Winter Break trip to El Salvador undertaken by
a dozen Suffolk students and staff members,
under the leadership of history professor Chris
Rodriguez. In addition to completing the construction of an outdoor arena for community
gatherings in the small town of El Sitio, the
Suffolk delegation commemorated the work
of the late Massachusetts congressman and
Suffolk University alumnus Joe Moakley JD’56,
whose efforts helped to facilitate an end to the
civil war that wracked the Salvadoran nation
from 1980-1992.
As Maxine Hong Kingston, the renowned
author, repeat visitor to the College, and 2008
recipient of an honorary doctorate from Suffolk University, has remarked, “success means
effectiveness in the world, that I am able to
carry my ideas and values into the world—that
I am able to change it in positive ways.” This is
precisely what the volunteers on the trip to El
Salvador did: they harnessed their classroom
learning to their passion for social change and,
continuing the legacy of Joe Moakley, shared
the “success” of their Suffolk education.
This issue of Suffolk Arts + Sciences
pulses with the “journeys,” the success stories,
of our alumni, faculty, and students: Gregory
Hazelwood BA’98 teaches African American
history at Brockton High School, where his
mentorship truly matters; Coach Jim Nelson
models self-respect and decorum as surely
as he demonstrates a sweeping hook shot;
and recent theatre graduates Rachel Kelsey
and Purnima Baldwin make a bold and important statement about homelessness in Boston
with their play, Infinity. The “Standout Talent”
section this year features seven students who
have taken the injunction to “learn beyond the
classroom”—a value literally embedded in our
new curriculum through the Expanded Classroom requirement—seriously as they spread
across campus and into their communities,
applying what they have learned in our classrooms to the world as they find it.
As you will see in these pages, and as I
have witnessed throughout my 30-year career
at Suffolk University, some of the most precious rewards of a Suffolk Arts and Sciences
education take form in civic engagement, in
serving others and making a positive change
in the world. Let us bring you down a few of
the paths, passages, and byways explored by
members of our community over the years as
they have journeyed toward “effectiveness in
the world,” as they have taken their education
and built “success.”
And let us know how your Suffolk education has shaped your years since graduation.
How have you brought the ideas and values
that took form during your time on campus
out into the world?
I hope that your journey allows you to
stop by campus this year to experience the
College in full swing. Believe me, you will leave
invigorated.

A SPRING DAY WITH SENIORS
Early rising students spent their morning preparing spring baskets with flower seeds, plant pots
and fun trinkets for the elderly residents of the Action for Boston Community Development, Inc.
(ABCD), a neighborhood center that provides housing for low-income seniors. Another group
of students delivered the baskets and hand-made cards to ABCD at the “Villa Michelangelo”
in Boston’s North End, staying to chat and share stories with the residents.
FIGHTING HUNGER WITH “Best Buddies”
Suffolk students grabbed their Best Buddies and visited the Greater Boston
Food Bank (GBFB) in South Boston. The Best Buddies program provides
one-to-one friendship opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.
Students and their buddies spent their day in the GBFB warehouse taking in
shipments and preparing food to be sent throughout New England.

�Design for the Environment
New England School of Art & Design students in Professor Karen Clarke’s Sustainable Design for
Interiors course hosted “Design for the Environment,” a green/sustainable design trade show
in the atrium of 10 St. James Avenue. The trade show educated visitors about green design—
maximizing the efficiency of energy and water systems, using recycled materials in construction,
and minimizing the environmental impact of construction and operation. (see story pg. 10)
Spring cleaning ON the Esplanade
Down by the banks of the River Charles, Suffolk University
students got their hands dirty in an effort to clean up the

leaves, cleaning up trash, and beautifying one of Boston’s
most famous locations.

Designing for tomorrow, today
Future friendly furniture. Self-generating
hydropower faucets. Recycled rubber flooring. No paint
polymer siding. Cardboard fiber countertops.
These and other innovations were on display at a
green/sustainable design trade show hosted by Professor Karen Clarke’s Sustainable Design for Interiors class last spring. Students discussed product life
cycles, chemical composition, and the environmental
impacts of materials as they examined carpet recreated
from “mining office buildings instead of the earth,” and
fabrics made from crushed water bottles broken down
to polymers, melted, spun, dyed, and then woven into
new textiles.
The trade show, “Design for the Environment,” provided real-world examples of a growing market dedicated
to green building. “This is out there now,” says Clarke.
“Students want to be green designers, and it’s important
because that is what the industry is demanding.”
The July/August issue of New England Home notes,
“Interior designer Karen Clarke co-chairs one of the
best-kept secrets in the country: the interior design program at New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk
University.” But it’s no secret that Clarke has long been
Interior Design Professor Karen Clarke (in white)
an advocate for sustainability. “She has really taken
green issues on, not only on behalf of our students but
also the University. It was she who pushed for University-wide recycling, for example,” says Sara Chadwick,
director of administrative services at NESADSU.
Clarke guides students through the industry standard for sustainable building: the Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, set by the US Green Building Council. Her
goal is to prepare students to take the LEED exam
and become accredited professionals. “Architecture is
changing, and we have to be respectful of the environment and incorporate design that takes into account the
future now,” she says. “There are requests for sustainability and builders who want to go for LEED certification. Clients need people who specialize in this area.”
“In the next 10 years, every project, every product
will have some sort of green aspect to it,” says Clarke.
“As interior designers, we shape and design buildings
for the users. Good design is being responsible socially
and environmentally. And since 95% of our time is spent
in interior environments, it’s important that our environments are healthy.”

Ready, Set, Vote
Since becoming an assistant professor in
2006, Rachael Cobb has already put her stamp on
the Government Department of Suffolk University
by being a catalyst for two innovative programs, the
University Poll Workers Project and the Boston Area
Colleges Election Project.
The University Poll Workers Project, which Cobb
established, recruits and trains a diverse array of
students to be the next generation of poll workers.
It has already yielded positive results, with over 100
Suffolk students working the polls for the City of
Boston on Election Day during the past two years.
The program will continue to be a resource for students and the community in the fall 2008 Presidential election.
The Boston Area Colleges Election Project is a
collaborative effort between the Suffolk and Harvard University Government Departments and Harvard Law School. Through the project, students
[6]
help to gather data on voter satisfaction in the city
of Boston.
“I am passionate about our political processes,
and these two programs will enable our students to
be even more politically competent by taking action
in our democracy,” says Cobb.
Cobb was born and reared in Cambridge, where
she still lives with her husband and two young children. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bryn
Mawr College and received her PhD from MIT.
Now, as a professor on Beacon Hill, Cobb is
motivated by the eagerness of her students and
appreciates Suffolk’s dedication to small class
sizes. Her passion for public service is contagious.
“Rachael has a remarkable ability to work with
all kinds of people,” says professor and chair of
the Government Department John Berg. “She is
excellent at bringing people together and making
things happen.”

English Professor George Kalogeris ‘79
MICHAEL MADDEN
CLASSICS GALORE
For the first time in the University’s 101-year history,
the College is offering a concentration in ancient classical
literature. Students will be able to immerse themselves in
the epics of Homer, Virgil and Dante. They will be charmed
by Ovid and challenged by Aeschylus. They will sit on the
shoulders of Tacitus and Suetonius in observing Imperial
Rome at its apex.
For Professor George Kalogeris BS’78, the Classics
program’s guiding force, it is the first time in a 20-year
teaching and writing career that he can work full time with
two things he loves most: ancient writers and the students
who want to study them.
“When young people engage with these texts it helps
them to develop an inner life, whether they know it or not,”
says Kalogeris.
Raised in Winthrop with the smell of the oceans and
the sounds of rebetika—a style of Greek folk music popular
among 1930s day laborers—Kalogeris’ interest in words
and language came from his mother, who understood
and conversed in nearly every regional dialect of modern
Greek. As an undergraduate, Kalogeris took the Blue Line
for four years to Suffolk University where he studied literature and psychology. His undergraduate thesis was on
Jim Morrison’s allusions to Sophocles in The Doors’ tune,
“The End.”
After a brief stint as a psychologist, Kalogeris entered
the University Professors Program at Boston University
where he earned master’s and doctoral degrees in Comparative Literature. He recently released a collection of
his translation of Albert Camus’ diary notebooks, Carnets
(Pressed Wafer Publishing, 2006) and had his translation
of a C.P. Cavafy poem read before a commencement audience at Oxford University.
Kalogeris believes the most valuable lesson he has
learned as a Suffolk professor is the importance of students. “It’s about people seeing things for the first time,” he
says. He fosters this awareness in students, from giving out
his home phone number and taking calls night and day to
spending countless hours hosting informal poetry discussions. “I kind of hate English and classical literature,” said
a student at a discussion on Sappho, “but I like Kalogeris
and I could never miss this seminar.”
around a softball-sized orb balanced on a short metal tripod at the corner of his
desk. They’re working on an extra credit project, recording a podcast into the
space-aged looking microphone for class.
Dewar, a paleontologist and assistant professor in the Biology Department, is one of several professors in the College using podcasting in his
courses, uploading lectures and class recordings to iTunes University and
making course content as mobile as a browser or mp3 player.
“Part of what I wanted to do with this is meet students where they are,”
he says. “But I also wanted to show students that scholarship or research
in science isn’t something that requires a ton of buildup, it’s just what we
do when we’re scientists and any way we can communicate our ideas is
positive.”
The podcasts might be 10-15 minute lecture recaps or topics examined
by students in small groups. “The thing I like about being able to involve
students in the podcast is creating a sense of ownership,” he says. “Students have had tons of science by the time they get to college. But have
they ever really done science? I want to model what a professional scientist
does. Students can do this. It’s like an Amish barn raising, and when we’re
done we have something we built ourselves and it looks nice.”
Students post the recorded podcasts online for their classmates. Eventually, some podcasts may reach a wider audience. “I’m hopeful that some student projects can be made publicly available,” he says, anticipating results from
project-based laboratories, surveys, or data gathered from the basketball team,
for example, to see what their oxygen consumption is like on a treadmill. “That’s
the kind of thing we can post up on the public site and say, here’s what students
are doing at Suffolk.”
“A student told me she was driving in her car, and her boyfriend was
looking at her iPod and said, ‘What’s this anatomy thing you have? Oh
hey let’s listen to it.’ To know that I’m somewhere between Beyoncé and
50 Cent in my students’ playlists I think is very funny.”

STORY TIME WITH UNCLE JOE
Education and Human Services
Professor Joseph McCarthy
“The department chairman asked me what
I wanted as a retirement gift so I told him I wanted
an iPod,” says Education and Human Services (EHS)
Professor Joseph McCarthy in reference to his sell-out
Popular Songs seminar.
McCarthy, who retired in 2007, first came to Suffolk in
the early 70s and has taught in both the EHS and History
departments. Had he been an Oxford don in the 19th century, he would probably have been classified as a generalist. Then again, this would be an atypical Oxford don with
his blue jeans, sneakers and Claddaugh earring.
McCarthy’s teaching career at Suffolk has moved
from one area of interest to another. He created the
university’s master’s degree program in Higher Education Administration, advised graduate students, taught
freshmen, encouraged young history majors in their
baccalaureate pursuits, and taught courses about
World War II, medieval popular culture and the theory
and practice of history.
“I always marvel at Joe,” says Dean Kenneth
Greenberg. “He is such a great scholar who knows
so many of these different ways of learning and knowledge. It’s remarkable.”
McCarthy taught his students that the worker, the
scholar or the professional should have an unfettered
intellectual curiosity. From the first day of a new course,
he would say that his course would not be a pedantic
regurgitation of names, facts and half-baked analysis,
just “story time with your Uncle Joe.”
In the words of an old 70s soul song, there ain’t no
stopping McCarthy now, because he’s on the move. On
the South Shore of Massachusetts, he presides over a
bit of the old agrarian Massachusetts where he splits
logs and raises chickens that have claimed the blue ribbon at the annual Marshfield Fair for two years running,
all the time looking after his grandchildren.
McCarthy will continue to teach and informally advise
at Suffolk. He is a living connection to Suffolk’s days as
that small upstart Beacon Hill institution educating commuter students. No matter what course he teaches, the
fundamental lesson will always be the same: never lie
about facts and never be afraid of ideas.

IT’S A MUSICAL LIFE
In New York, where you can see
productions originating from Africa to
Iceland, you can also see musicals this
year that came from your own back yard,
Suffolk University.
Three musicals originally developed by
the Boston Music Theatre Project (BMTP),
a program of the Suffolk University Theatre Department, had professional New
York area debuts this season. The incredible circumstances are not the triumph of
coincidence, but the result of a carefully
crafted model and the tenacity of Theatre
Department Chair Marilyn Plotkins.
Plotkins founded BMTP in 1987 as
the first professional organization in the
Greater Boston area dedicated exclusively
to the development of new work in musical
theatre. “I have a life-long interest in musicals,” says Plotkins. “BMTP was a natural
outgrowth of my training, experience and
professional interests.”
For the next 10 years, Plotkins partnered with local and national organizations
and artists to develop new work, including
Elmer Gantry, produced by the Nashville
[8]
Opera and the Peak Performances series
at Montclair State University in January,
2008, and Look What a Wonder Jesus Has
Done, featured in the New York Music Theatre Festival this September.
In 1999, Plotkins integrated BMTP
into the academic framework of the newly
formed Theatre Department to engage
Suffolk students in the development process. Crossing Brooklyn, a new musical
by Laura Harrington and Jenny Giering,
premiered off-Broadway in the fall at the
Transport Group and was the first BMTP
piece developed with students—but it certainly won’t be the last.
The hands-on experience of BMTP is a
unique facet of the Suffolk Theatre Department and has inspired other in-house professional development opportunities, such
as Wesley Savick’s National Theatre of Allston and Richard Chambers’ professional
design apprenticeships. As the program
continues to grow, so will the opportunities. Plotkins is currently in negotiation with
two New York writers for the next BMTP
project, slated for spring, 2009.

Houghton Mifflin, 2008
BY Marilyn Jurich Mayapple Press, 2008
This collection of poems attempts to revisualize how we
sense ourselves and others and to redirect our awareness and understanding. Apart from this reorientation of
perception, the poems as poems are distinctly musical
compositions—we "see" through sound and structure;
each piece has a breath and “atmosphere” of its own—
from how an individual copes with the loss of vision to
what Philadelphia "looks like" to the homeless, to the
magical transformation of Grafton Street in Dublin when
a harpist shares his ecstatic tunes.

argue that the new Central America Common Market,
CARICOM, the Andean Community and MERCOSUR are
facing an internal crisis, which hampers not only their
integration processes, but also the dynamic relationship
with the European Union.
�Branded Conservatives:
How the Brand Brought the
Right from the Fringes to the
Center of American Politics
HISTORY
BY Mark Schneider Rowman and Littlefield, 2006
Salvodon Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2007
BY Ken Cosgrove Peter Lang, USA, 2007
After World War I, African Americans moved north to
form vibrant new communities, got good jobs in industry, built new churches, and established a burgeoning
commercial and professional class. Writers and musicians flocked to Harlem and produced a body of work
known as the Harlem Renaissance, about their experiences in the urban north. African Americans fought for
their civil rights – both physically in the streets during
the "Red Summer" of 1919, and in the halls of Congress
and the courts, with the NAACP leading the way.
European films have become a vital cultural space
where the relationship between borders and identity
is being renegotiated. This collection of nine essays
written by film scholars from various countries self-consciously addresses the questions of European identity
while overtly crossing geographic, cultural, linguistic,
and aesthetic borders.
The book argues that Conservatism has made good use
of branding in its move from the fringes to the center of
American political life. Conservatives have built a unique
brand around their candidates, their movement and
their issues that has facilitated their ability to win elections and implement public policies. Branding has been
one of the major tools through which Conservatives
have built an enduring movement over the last several
decades and a tool through which their movement has
become very resilient.

Abstraction and the Classical Ideal
by Charles Cramer University of Delaware Press, 2006
This study traces abstraction in art from empirical epistemology to the pursuit of idealism. Abstraction served
as the nucleus of debates ranging from the philosophy of mind to the visual appearance of ideal truth and
beauty; it was a major focus of philosophical, scientific,
and aesthetic discourse. Through a close examination
of these debates, this study significantly revises and
enlarges our understanding of abstraction and idealization in art.

Women and Politics in Iran
by Nina Bouraoui, and translated by Marjorie Attignol
By Hamideh Sedgi Cambridge University Press, 2007
Salvodon and Jehanne-Marie Gavarini
Hamideh Sedgi’s Women and Politics in Iran explores
the lives of Iranian women, both in the private and public
realm, and across the classes, examining identity, sexuality, culture, politics, and economics. Using the veil as
an example, specifically the veiling of Iranian women
in the 1900s, the unveiling between 1936-1979, and the
re-veiling after the revolution, she explains the historical
importance of gender in shaping Iranian politics.
University of Nebraska Press, 2007
Tomboy is the story of a girl who was born five years
after Algerian independence in 1967 and navigates the
cultural, emotional, and linguistic boundaries of identity
for a girl living in a world that doesn’t seem to recognize
her. With prose modeling the rhythm of the seasons and
the sea, Tomboy enters the innermost reality of a life
lived on the edge of several cultures.

THEATRE ARTS
Shrapnel
by Wesley Savick 2007
Adapted from the writings of James Hillman, Chris
Hedges and Lawrence LeShan, Shrapnel explores the
nature of war in this original work for the stage. How do
we make war “normal”? Is war an inevitable and fundamental part of the human condition? Can our impulse
for war ever be tamed? Shrapnel incorporates mythology, stage combat, live music and a sweeping array of
personal accounts to explore the contradictory nature
of war within all of us.

Man On Board For the Long Haul
As the tanker that would haul oil to Bahrain by way
of Aruba and Naples picked up its crew in the slicing
wind off Brooklyn Flats, Robert Brustein thought, “I’m
going to be the loneliest man in the world.” It was 1945,
and although the war had ended, his hitch in the service had a year and a half to go. He was 18 years old.
Following an accelerated course of study at the High
School of Music and Art in New York City with a final
year at Columbia Grammar School, Brustein graduated at 16 and entered Amherst College in 1943. The

New England campus, leaving only the underage and
the 4Fs, those deemed physically unable to serve. “We
ruled,” he says. “We were the football team, the baseball team, the drama club. One hundred-fifty kids.”
Enlisting for service in April 1945, he entered the
Merchant Marine, which capped four months of basic
training in San Mateo, California with six months at
sea, eight months at the Merchant Marine Academy at
King’s Point, Long Island, and the rank of Cadet-Mid-

the wake of the deadliest war in history. “I took to the
sea,” he says. “There was a lot of adventure.” Crossing
from the Panama Canal to Pozzuoli, passing through
Casablanca, Alexandria, and Milan, he saw more of
the world than he could have imagined growing up on
the relatively homogeneous Jewish Upper West Side
of Manhattan: narrowly navigable ports cluttered with
sunken ships; abject poverty along the vanquished
coasts of Italy; a humorous mutiny against the captain
who tried to prevent the women on the supply boats
from clambering up the sides of his vessel; a case of
“yellow jaundice.” The romance of the sea ebbing by
the time his tour of duty ended, Brustein returned to
Amherst College hungry to continue his education.
He has taken on the role of actor, director, producer, dean of
the Yale Drama School and founding director of the Yale and
American Repertory theatres. Now he has joined the faculty
of the College of Arts & Sciences at Suffolk.

200 productions, writing 15 books, and training such
luminaries as Meryl Streep, Henry Winkler, and Sigourney Weaver.
In December 1945, however, Robert Brustein was
one of thousands of men aboard the tankers and Victory ships that navigated the world’s mined waters in
When the Korean War erupted in 1951, he and
other merchant mariners found themselves subject
to the draft. The US government had reneged on
its pledge of veteran status to the Merchant Marine,
which suffered a higher percentage of casualties
than any other branch of the military in World War II.
This Brustein saw as a profound injustice. “I determined that I would not stay in the country, or would
cut off my finger, or go to Canada, or anything to
avoid being drafted into what I considered an unjust
war.” Instead, he obtained one student deferment after
another, including two Fulbrights in England, finally
earning a PhD that he had never intended to pursue.
After a career that took him to Columbia University,
as well as Cornell, Vassar, Yale, and Harvard, Brustein at last arrived at Suffolk University. “Suffolk tries to
maintain the purity of its original ideals,” he observes.
“There’s a gritty urban honesty about it that is impossible not to admire. The more I learn about Suffolk, the
more I want to moor here.”
He plans to drop his anchor in this port for years
to come.

never seen a city go so berserk. And all I did was

TRYING TO
STAY AFLOAT
World War II depleted the ranks of college
students on American college and university
campuses, as most young men—and some
women—entered the armed forces. Suffolk
University was no exception. In addition to its
Law School, Suffolk then consisted of three
undergraduate colleges: Liberal Arts, Journalism, and Business Administration, founded
in 1934, 1936, and 1937 respectively. In 1940,
before the United States entered the war, the
fledgling colleges had built their enrollment up
to 227 students. By 1943, according to Suffolk
history professor David L. Robbins, that number
had dwindled to only 35. With Law School enrollment down to only 63 that year, the university
struggled to stay afloat.
With the passage in 1944 of the G.I. Bill of
Rights, which awarded tuition benefits to WWII
veterans, college enrollment surged nationwide.
By the fall of 1946, Suffolk University’s undergraduate enrollment soared to 1682 students,
75% of whom were male war veterans. Alongside the sorrow of losing 26 alumni lives to the
war, the university gained during the postwar era
the foothold that has allowed it to flourish into
the present.

“Know that your health is the most important thing you have,” says health
care activist Billye Avery. “It is really one of the only things you own.” Avery,
founder and president of the Avery Institute for Social Change and founder of

“What’s the most important thing we want to teach students?” asks US
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. “Democracy.” The participation of citizens in the democratic process, what Breyer calls “active liberty,” is necessary to
having a workable government. “We judges cannot insist that Americans participate in that government, but we can make clear that our Constitution depends
on it.” Get involved in the community, participate on any level of civic engagement, including politics, school boards and other organizations, he says. “Unless
most of you do something like that—participation—the document I work with

Representing the Faye family of griots, or ‘praise singers,’ from Dakar, Senegal,
they tuned the line-up of hourglass shaped drums—one still dangling an airline

drums came to life, creating a rhythm for movement and a language for reaching
across villages. The drummers—Vieux Sing Faye, the patriarch and chief griot of
Dakar; Aziz and Mouhamadou Moustapha Faye, sons of Vieux; and Malik Ngom,
grandson of Vieux—presented the geuwel drumming tradition, taught traditional

or put a floor under it? “I don’t think it’s possible to come up with an algorithm
for this,” he says. “I know it when I see it—a law which is designed to suppress
liberty, and when the purpose of a law is to let a thousand flowers bloom.” Fried is

during two demanding days of individual and small
group interviews and info sessions designed to enable
the candidates, faculty, and current PhD students to
get to know one another, and their research interests,
work styles, and career objectives. After the weekendlong mix of grueling questions and more casual gettogethers, the psychology department will identify
those faculty-student matches with the greatest
synergy and potential for success.
Suffolk’s Psychology PhD program graduated its first
class in 2000, and attracted 314 applicants for just
13 program openings this year. According to Department Chair Krisanne Bursik, it is the scientist practitioner model of training that distinguishes the College of
Arts & Sciences’ highly competitive program from other
more applied programs in the area. “Our research component is front and center,” she says. “And our students
are trained to be active researchers, clinical practitioners,
and teachers. We’ve developed a program that provides
training and supervision in all three areas, and this absolutely sets us apart.”
Throughout the six-year program, students and
faculty work side by side in the research lab and classroom, and in clinical placements. “Though all of our

Beyond the dissertation
Gansler credits the outstanding Suffolk doctoral students he met while working as a neuropsychologist at
the Boston Veterans Administration Hospital with his
decision to join the faculty seven years ago. “Observing those students during their clinical placements,
I knew that this new program was producing some
exceptional psychologists,” Gansler says. “I was drawn
to teaching here—and to the opportunity to develop a
brain image analysis laboratory and examine individual
differences in aggression and impulsivity.”

findings in a peer-reviewed journal. Currently they are
at work on a second co-authored manuscript based

“When it was time for me to apply to graduate
school, Suffolk felt like an old comfortable shoe,”
says Benetti-McQuoid BS’01, PhD’06, one of the
four Psychology PhD students who also completed
their undergraduate work at Suffolk’s College of Arts

“I knew that my classes would be small and intimate; and I felt confident in my relationships with the
faculty. Importantly, I shared research interests with

a key booster of her work in clinical neuropsychology. “Dave was crucial to helping me decide what

THE
PUNCH
From the Civil War through the 1920s, Brockton, Massachusetts thrived
as one of the world’s premier shoe manufacturing centers. By the 1950s,
the hardscrabble city 30 miles south of Boston claimed bragging rights as
the birthplace of undefeated heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Marciano.
Twenty years later, when Marvelous Marvin Hagler entered the ring, the city
added a middleweight champion to its scorecard.
Today, though the fight motif is still in full swing around the “City of
Champions,” Brockton’s greatest boast is probably its high school—the largest in New England. A beige colossus flanking the road behind the Rocky
Marciano Stadium, Brockton High School houses 4,358 students and a faculty
of 331 women and men. Among these educators is history teacher Gregory
Hazelwood BA ‘98.
“I wish every kid in the school could have Mr. Hazelwood as a teacher
during their career here,” says Brockton High School principal Dr. Susan
Szachowicz. “He brings history to life. But the most important lessons he
teaches are about character, how to treat other people. Greg uses every
moment as a teachable moment.”

�Above: “Mr. Hazelwood” and students in his third period

“� ou can be an object in the world, and have things done
Y
to you; or you can be a subject. Which do you want to be?”
“Good afternoon!” Mr. Hazelwood greets the students heartily as they file into class. “Today we’re
going to name stereotypes and we’re going to talk
about how to counteract them.”
The spring-semester senior year African American
History class has been underway for only a week, and
it would be fair to say that all 30 students in the room
are paying attention. Hands shoot up. Responses
ring out. “The only way Black people can ‘succeed’
is through drugs, sports, or music.” “Black students
can’t get into good colleges.” “Rap and hip hop are
never about anything meaningful.”
“Good job! Excellent.” Hazelwood steps out from
behind his desk. “These are the myths. Now, how
can we start to shatter them?”
Over the next hour, the class ranges across
American culture and history, invoking as antidotes
[22]
SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2008/2009 Alumni Magazine
to negative stereotyping such prominent African
American figures as Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey,
and Coretta Scott King. Affable and warm, with an
impressive command of the students’ names so
soon into the term, Mr. Hazelwood offers a stream
of information and encouragement. “I want to hear
your thoughts,” he says. “I want you to really think
about the idea of resistance. African American history
has been filled with moments of resistance to things
that are not right.”
Only one point goes unspoken, although it is
surely not lost on the students: Mr. Hazelwood himself
belies negative stereotypes about African American
men. He stands, for want of a better phrase, as a
positive role model in this school in which 70 percent
of the students are people of color and 70 percent
of the faculty is not.
�“Students need to see themselves in their teachers,” Dr. Szachowicz says. “They need to see the
faces of the world.”
Like Szachowicz, educational activists and
researchers have decried the shortage of minority
teachers for decades. According to the National
Education Association (NEA), 40 percent of the
nation’s students belong to minority groups, compared to only 16 percent of teachers in grades K-12.
In the eyes of many experts, this disparity represents
a crisis. What is at stake? NEA research shows that
“when teachers of color are missing, minority students
land more frequently in special education classes,
have higher absentee rates, and tend to be less
involved in school activities.”
“Teachers of color have a unique vantage point
in terms of the critical intersections that affect how
students perceive themselves, the world, and their
lived reality,” says Professor Carmen Veloria of
Suffolk University’s Department of Education and
Human Services.
Early role models
Greg Hazelwood understands his complex mission
as a teacher of history and a member of a diverse
community. He credits his parents and the Suffolk
University professors who took the time to mentor
him, inside the classroom and out, with giving him
the sense of purpose that fires his teaching.
Growing up in Mattapan, the son of an African
American father and a Haitian mother, Hazelwood
appreciated the value of education from an early age.
His father, the oldest of 10 children, left school early
to help support his family in rural Virginia. Moving
north for economic opportunity, he met Greg’s
mother, whose family immigrated to New York and
Boston from Haiti. Working for the MBTA and Blue
Cross, respectively, Hazelwood’s father and mother
provided a Catholic school education for their two
children. “We want you to be in a better position than
we are in,” they said. “Education is vital.”
“My parents made sure to have encyclopedias in
the house. At the same time, they demonstrated an

�Hazelwood and the group warm up for Black History Month presentations with “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” also known as the “Negro
National Anthem” written by poet and songwriter James Weldon
Johnson in 1900. “It’s a very positive song. Some students know the
first stanza, some know all the lyrics.”

people, no matter who they are or where they come
from. My sister and I were brought up with the idea
of doing for others, helping. That’s how I see my role
as an educator.”
Inspiration in the college classroom
Like many Suffolk students over the years, Greg
Hazelwood was the first in his family to earn a college degree. “The world opened up once I hit Suffolk,”
he says. “I’ll never forget the first day of the first class
I took with Professor Bellinger. He told us, ‘You can
be an object in the world, and have things done to
you; or you can be a subject. Which do you want to
be?’ He challenged us from day one.”

window into Senegalese culture. All of this stays with
me, and I try to carry it over to my students.”
Empowering high school students
Now with a master’s degree in Education in hand,
and as a seven-year veteran of the classroom, as
well as co-adviser of the African American Club,
Hazelwood realizes the profound impact he can have
on the lives of his students. “You take it for granted,
until you realize that there are younger folks looking at you as an example. I ask myself, ‘What can I
do to help them?’ I can show them my passion for
history and education. I can help them make connections between history and the lives they’re living today,
bolize raw competition, then how do males learn to
offer love, brotherhood, and simple humanity?”
On the question of respect, Hazelwood is uncompromising. “A couple of years ago, on the first day
of my African American history class, I heard a male
student call out to a young lady, ‘Hey B, come here
for a second.’ I took the young man aside and told

“I can help them make connections between history and the lives they’re living today”
History professor Robert Bellinger, who also directs
the Black Studies program and the Collection of African
American Literature, served as the faculty adviser to the
Black Student Union during Greg Hazelwood’s time at
Suffolk. He has played a crucial role in the lives of many
students—and students of color in particular—since his
arrival on campus in 1987.
“It’s very important for students to have mentors,
especially if they’re from families where they’re the
first or one of the first to go to college,” says Bellinger.
“I try to enlarge the scope of their vision, in terms of
career possibilities, how they think about history, how
they think about race and identity. I also just try to be
available to listen to my students’ concerns. As they
begin to engage with new ideas, they often aren’t
able to discuss these ideas with people in their old
communities or in their families.”
Professor Bellinger took note of Greg Hazelwood’s
zeal for learning. “He was genuinely excited about
history and about how it informs the present day. I
would talk to him, encourage him, help him to navigate new or challenging settings,” Bellinger says. “I
was conscious that I was continuing a line that goes
back to the people who shaped me. When I think
of professors I had in college—Asa Davis, Sonia
Sanchez, and others—I know that I was given a gift.
I feel responsible to carry that forward.”
For Hazelwood, Bellinger did that and more. “I
learned valuable content from him, things I hadn’t
known about African and African American history,
about the diaspora, and about the complexity of people and time periods. Professor Bellinger was also
an amazing mentor for me. He presented a powerful
image, as a Black male who carried himself in a certain
way, with pride and a sense of dignity. He pushed the
barriers away and made himself available as a person. ‘Go on to graduate school,’ he’d tell me. Or, ‘Hey,
teach them critical thinking. I try to demonstrate for
them that words are powerful; words matter. Images
matter. I bombard them with positive images. I am
a bombarder!” He laughs and gestures toward the
many posters on the walls of his classroom. “Just
look around. Here’s an image of the great educator
Septima Clarke. And here’s a quote from Bill Withers,
one of my favorite musicians.”
The Withers quote, taken from the artist’s
Greatest Hits album liner notes, sums up the gentle
ethos of this prized teacher in a city best known for
its pugilists: “Each generation needs an art form to
license male vulnerability. If maleness comes to sym-
a tone for the students, and sometimes—not right
away—they come back and thank me for it.”
Through hundreds of “teachable moments,” Greg
Hazelwood brings his passion for learning and justice
to the students of Brockton High School. In the city that
celebrates the swift uppercut and the one-two punch, he
champions respectful dialogue and informed dissent.
“I will always be an educator,’ he says. “I received
so much from my family and my teachers. I’m in awe of
what they taught me. Now it’s time to give back.”

PERFECT FORM
�But he hasn’t always been Coach. In his corner
office on the second floor of the Ridgeway Building,
Nelson, 66, leans back in his chair with his arms
folded across his chest, recalling a time when he
went by another name: Dmitri Nestios. Nestios was
Nelson’s alias, adopted six years after taking the
assistant athletic director and assistant basketball
coach jobs at Suffolk.
Nelson had been a standout guard at Boston
College, and—after graduating and taking his first
job at Suffolk
—had been playing semi-professional
basketball around Boston. When a friend brought
a recruiter from a Greek league team to check out
Nelson’s talents, Jim wowed the scout with his
famous dribbling routine: Lying on his back, he
dribbled with two hands, then with just one finger
on each hand, then just the pinky, and then while
doing situps. The team offered him a contract and
renamed him Dmitri Nestios, which translated to
“Jim from the Islands.” Because, as Nelson was told,
you had to be Greek to play.
[28]
SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2008/2009 Alumni Magazine
When Jim, his wife Joan, and their three children (the couple eventually had five) arrived in
Greece, they were greeted with a king’s reception.
Stepping off the plane at 10pm, Nelson was met
by his teammates, and a speeding motorcade led
them from the airport and through the streets of
Piraeus, horns honking, fans cheering.
“So here’s this American, coming to be a savior,”
recalls Nelson, with a thick Boston accent. “The
first thing my coach said was, ‘Lie down and start
dribbling.’”
The decision to leave his perfect job at Suffolk
and make a bid for professional play was the culmination of a boyhood dream born in 60-cent seats
in “The Heavens” of the Boston Garden, front row
of the second balcony, center court. There, Nelson
spent nights watching Red Auerbach, Bill Russell,
and Bob Cousy—his future coach at Boston College—make the Celtics a dynasty. The same dream
kept him in virtual residency at the Cambridge
YMCA throughout his adolescence, working as a

rival Holy Cross College.

floor teaching—unfettered...it is a sanctuary time.”
ball boy for those same Celtics, and picking up a
game whenever he could.
Eventually, the dream shifted, the goals
changed. Contract disputes forced Nelson home
from Greece after just six months and he resumed
his role at Suffolk, helping other athletes pursue
their dreams, practicing with the Suffolk team on
that same court at the Cambridge YMCA. For three
decades at Suffolk, coaching was his passion. Taking over the head men’s basketball coaching position from Charlie Law in 1976, Nelson switched
from “making suggestions to making decisions.”
“Those special two hours,” Nelson recalls of
game days, “when you are on the floor teaching—
and it is truly a teaching experience—you are unfettered by telephone calls, emails, pink message slips.
…It is a sanctuary time.”
As a coach, he offered his athletes a sage
approach. “He’s not the ‘in your face’ kind of
coach,” says Leo Fama, who played basketball
under Nelson from 1982 to 1986. “He’s more of an
even-handed, teaching kind of guy.” Fama remembers in particular a game against Plymouth State,
who posed an even matchup with the Suffolk Rams.
Fama scored 45 points, and at the end of the victory, Nelson was pleased. “And then he looks at me
and says, ‘But you know what? You should have
had 52—you missed seven free throws,’” Fama
says with a chuckle. But it was important: Coach
wasn’t just focused on the victory, Fama says, but
on how they could improve that win. He was stern
in a fatherly way—a familial metaphor several former student athletes use when they speak of him.
For former hockey player Jim Gilpatrick, this
takes on an almost literal meaning.
“He really is a second father to me,” says Gilpatrick. Their bond was sealed on a January night in
1996 when Gilpatrick lost the use of his legs and his
right arm after colliding with a goalpost in a hockey
game. Nelson visited him in the hospital, called him
on the phone, and helped him get back to his studies.
Gilpatrick and Nelson grew close. “I never expected

“I’ve been here for about 11 years and I don’t

to the institution and the program one of the highest

Inside his office, his loyalty to the post-Dmitri goal
of improving the lot of Suffolk—the athletes, the students, the institution—is represented by a massive
framed newspaper blow-up from 1990. The headline: “Suffolk Says Farewell to YMCA as Basketball
Team Finds Home.” After three decades of all away
games, the team had a proper home—a home built
thanks to a group effort spearheaded by Nelson.
“If you ask him to walk down the street, I guarantee that within five steps, he’s going to meet someone he knows,” says Kenneth Greenberg, dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences. “And then if you
listen closely you’ll discover that he knows that person’s brother, their sister, and their children and family. His knowledge of people—because he connects
with everyone—is pretty amazing.” It was this ability to connect with people that helped Nelson nurture and expand an athletic program that has often
had to share fields with other local teams. His drive
and commitment are the perfect match for Suffolk’s
athletes—a mass of non-scholarship student athletes often competing out of love of the games, and
riding the T to games in lieu of the plush Division 1
team tour busses.
Nelson knows all their stories. His ability to cite
details is uncanny: team records, the scores of various games he coached, the spelling of the names
of childhood friends, the alma mater and athletic
background of an intern. And it’s not because he
is a statistics guy, a number cruncher, or readying
an autobiography. Coach Nelson just cares enough
to remember.

It’s hard to wrap your brain around El Salvador. Even
Lonely Planet, which has built an empire writing guides to
less traveled roads, seems unsure what direction to take
with this country. “Falcons and hawks fill the skies above
fabulous food festivals and bomb craters,” the online
guide states with awkward cheer. “Friendly locals like to
chat, diverting your gaze from the gangs and refugees
to beautiful broad valleys.”
Suffolk junior Jeff Pomponi wasn’t quite sure why he
decided to go to El Salvador for S.O.U.L.S. Alternative
Winter Break. “I just wanted to go somewhere different
because I knew over the winter break there wouldn’t be
anything to do, and I wanted a change,” he says. “Once I
got to El Salvador, I realized I’m supposed to do this .... I
had a reason to be there that I didn’t know going in.”

SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2008/2009 Alumni Magazine
Over the first two weeks of 2008, Pomponi is one of a
dozen Suffolk students and five faculty and staff members living and working in El Sitio, a poor rural town in
El Salvador's mountainous north, trading time at home
between semesters for a service learning project far
away. Their primary assignment is to complete construction of the Concha Acoustica (acoustic shell), an outdoor
stage and arena for community gatherings, before El
Sitio's annual Festival for Peace and Social Justice.
The students have another, larger purpose beyond
digging ditches. They are following in the footsteps of
the late Massachusetts Congressman Joe Moakley, JD
'56, a Suffolk alumnus who stands at the crossroads of
Boston and Salvadoran history.
During the 1980s, as El Salvador was engulfed in a
bloody civil war that would claim more than 70,000 lives,
Moakley was integral to the enactment of the temporary
right of asylum for Salvadoran refugees fleeing the carnage. At the decade's end, he headed a US commission
that investigated the murder of six Jesuit priests in San
Salvador in 1989. His conclusion that the military high
command ordered the killings led to the elimination of
American funding to El Salvador and initiated the process
that led to peace.

“Once I got to El Salvador, I realized I’m supposed to do this...
I had a reason to be there that I didn’t know going in.”
Moakley donated his papers to Suffolk at his death
in 2001, and this year’s delegation to El Salvador is part
of a continuing effort to keep his legacy alive throughout the University. The trip, sponsored by Suffolk’s
Organization for Uplifting Lives through Service
(S.O.U.L.S.), builds on the success of a 2007 trip led
by the Moakley Institute. Each year, a representative of
Suffolk’s Moakley Archive and Institute accompanies
a faculty member and students to forge relationships
with Salvadoran leaders and to collect oral histories
about the Congressman’s life and work.
“I think it is important for the school because
one of the big pieces of who we are at Suffolk is
giving back to communities—and that doesn't
always mean your own backyard,” says trip participant Jacinda Felix, the director of Suffolk's Office of
Diversity Services. “And because of our connection
with Congressman Moakley, it's important for us to
keep this relationship with El Salvador. He really cared
about Salvadorans. He fought really hard for them.”
Grappling with a violent past and cautious present
When their plane lands at El Salvador International
Airport, the students think they are well prepared for
the problems that plague the country, past and present, but the reality is still a surprise. Old European
cities have walls around them for protection. San
Salvador, the capital, resembles one of those cities
turned inside out. The streets around the guest house
are lined with high walls, razor wire, steel grates and
grills; this city is fortified from within to protect the
inhabitants from each other. Even the ice cream
parlor has a uniformed guard with a pump-action
shotgun standing next to a merry-go-round.
But everyone is too busy with an intense series
of meetings for the next three days to feel unsafe.
The delegation meets with a Jesuit priest, the president of a business association advocating for the
Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA),
economists at a liberal think tank with an opposing
viewpoint, former guerrillas who sing the students folk
songs, and a panel of experts at the US Embassy.
They sit in the chapel where Archbishop Oscar
Romero was assassinated while saying Mass in 1981.
They touch their fingers to the monument inscribed
Vietnam-Memorial-style with the names of the war's
nearly 75,000 victims. Marta, their guide, finds the
name of her father; she has never been to the wall,
and turns away, weeping. It is a whirlwind of learning
that lasts every day from breakfast to bedtime.
Few comforts, but plenty of chickens
Three days after arriving, they depart for El Sitio, a
town 30 miles north of San Salvador.
Half of the rural population in El Salvador, a country
the size of Massachusetts, lives below the poverty line;
the World Bank draws this line at living on roughly $2
per day. El Sitio fits this demographic. Nearly everyone is a campesino who returned here after the war.
The host families are essentially subsistence farmers,
growing enough each year to ensure their daily tortillas. The group splits up in pairs to stay with some of
the 50 or so families in El Sitio. Each house is simply constructed: two or three cinder block rooms and
a corrugated metal roof that overhangs a patio with
a concrete cistern for washing. Most houses have
a small pack of dogs and large flocks of chickens,
ducks, turkeys, and roosters.
“We talked to the students about being comfortable in a different situation. This is not the US. You're
going to a third-world country,” says Felix. “How comfortable are you rolling up your sleeves and sleeping
with chickens? Because on some level that’s exactly
what we did.”
It is hard travel. Showers are rare, so bathing is
done from plastic buckets at a cement tub built alongside every house. Communal meals center around
beans and tortillas, and even though the delegation eats
with more variety than their hosts, fatigue and intestinal
troubles have most students pining for comfort food.
Toilets do not flush; they sit over a composting pit and
students toss in a scoop of quick lime after each use.
“I was kind of surprised, being somebody who is
not afraid of the outdoors, that it actually was difficult
to step away from a functioning toilet and [to eat] tortillas and beans every day,” says Jillian Rizzo, a Suffolk
junior. “Whether or not you think you can handle it, it
was hard to adapt to it.”

One hammer, many hands
Coming together at the Concha
Each day, in the bright sun and 90-degree heat, the
students walk the half mile to the Concha Acoustica
and throw their bodies into the service project. They
face two compelling deadlines: not only are they in El
Salvador for just two weeks, but on the last day, thousands of people will arrive at the Concha to celebrate
the Festival for Peace and Social Justice.
The students split into teams to finish the arena's
enclosing wall and to create concrete posts to hold
new gates at the front and back entrances. It is backbreaking work. There are few tools and no power
equipment; rakes are made from sticks, brooms
assembled from straw and tree branches.
Luis Castillo, a junior history major, is astonished
by Salvadoran resourcefulness. “On the whole site
there was only one hammer—and it was a raggedy
hammer at that—but they put it to use,” he says. “We
dug a huge hole using limited tools. All we had was
a bar and a shovel and a pickax. We were over there
sweating and just working real hard to get the hole
big enough to fit the frame for the column.”
On the morning of the festival, the gates are installed as
the last brush fires fill the arena with smoke. One section
of wall is not yet complete, but the student crews have
accomplished a lot. “I'm really proud of the students. I
don't think some of them have ever done hard manual
labor that many days in a row,” says faculty mentor and
professor Chris Rodriguez of the history department.
“They worked hard. Even when their bodies gave out
and they had health issues, their spirits kept going.”
As evening approaches, spirits are rising.
Hundreds of Salvadorans from around the country
arrive. Vendors set up tables to sell fresh fruit, french
fries and fried plantains. There is a brisk business
in t-shirts depicting Che Guevera and revolutionary slogans. At the stage, the crowd presses in to
hear local folk music, Salvadoran hip hop acts and
even two Suffolk students—Luis Castillo and Jeffrey
Pomponi—who are invited to perform. Castillo, who
is of Dominican descent and speaks fluent Spanish,
takes the stage and tells the crowd that because of
this trip he is now Salvo-dominicano. They love him.
“I really loved that, because I’m American and they
see me as an American, but they also see me as a fellow
Hispanic because I speak Spanish and English,” Castillo
says. “And I think they really understood my poem ... I'm
glad that they felt what I had to get across.”
Pomponi, a Suffolk junior and a musician, backs
Castillo by playing bluesy riffs on a guitar. “The lead
singer of one of the acts was actually the patriarch
of my [host] household. He just handed me a guitar. I
didn’t even bother to see if it was tuned or not. I just
plugged it in and walked on stage,” Pomponi says.
“For the next hour I was on a high. My heart was racing and I just enjoyed myself.”
Soon after, fireworks fill the air—a donation from
the Suffolk students, who took up a collection to buy
them. It is the first time the festival has had fireworks,
and the community leaders are pleased with the gesture. They walk through the explosion's settling smoke
and the students say good-bye to as many of their
hosts as they can, because in the morning they return
to San Salvador at sunrise.
The trip ends, but it is not over
Back in Boston, the students and staff from the delegation are still working for their new friends in El
Salvador. They organize a supply drive to gather
medical and school materials to ship to El Sitio in
May. They send money to Marta, their guide, to pay
for English lessons. And they have ambitions to create an endowed scholarship in honor of Moakley that
will enable Marta and other young Salvadorans to
attend Suffolk from El Sitio and other communities
close to the Congressman's heart.
“You build a connection with people down there.
Marta. The families,” says Francisco Peguero, a junior
at Suffolk. “I don't want to be one of those guys who
forms that connection but who forgets about it for
the rest of his life.”

�One by one, a small crowd assembled in front
of the Parkman Pavilion on the Boston Common.
People sat on the grass, taking in the April afternoon sun while a guitarist draped in an American
flag strummed and strolled among them. Six girls in
gray t-shirts and jeans, and another with a bullhorn,
walked slowly to the ‘stage’ in front of the pavilion and
stood in formation facing the audience. “America…
land of infinite possibility,” they chorused. “This land
is your land, this land is my land. This land was made
for you AND me. There are people who are lonely,
have done this to themselves?” asks Kelsey. “There
are reasons that go far beyond the stereotype and
into the reality of the world we are living in. If people
can begin to recognize these untold stories, we will
feel we have succeeded.”
Kelsey, writer of the play, first began interviewing
homeless people during fall 2007 as part of Professor Debra Harkins’ Community Psychology class.
Kelsey chose Neighborhood Action as the site for
her required community service, a program at the
Church of St. John the Evangelist on Bowdoin Street
because there are so many people who will just say
he should get a job: ‘I can find a job, he can get a

Kelsey. “He was so supportive. I’ve bounced ideas

The actors, students from the Suffolk University

bagpipe nearby and planes overhead. And Infinity,
the play, has begun.

The vision and mission of the outdoor performance is
drawn from a semester of community service work, a
daily awareness of the homeless population in Boston, and a personal connection two ambitious students, Rachel Kelsey ’08 and Purnima Baldwin ’08,
have to those in homeless circumstances, and they
have something to say about it. Theatre major seniors
and friends, they developed the idea for Infinity to coproduce a play about homeless and non-homeless
people finding a common ground.

and seeing their world did so much for me in my
understanding of what exactly it is to be homeless. I
was raised by social workers and priests and people
who do outreach. This was my first experience going
into it myself,” she says. “When I was on the streets
afterwards—the way I looked at people was different.
I found myself wanting to talk to people more, smile
at people more after seeing them in the soup kitchen
and then seeing them on the streets.”
For Baldwin, the play’s director, Infinity was the
chance to bring a vision to life. “Since I was a freshman, I wanted my last production here to be about
homeless people,” she says. “My mom is an advocate for Loaves and Fishes, a soup kitchen in Ithaca
where I’m from, and I worked there a lot when I was
a kid. On a more personal note, my brother is actually
homeless, so it has always been in my mind. I have
a very close connection and I want to do something

off of him. He is very well respected within the homeless community.”
Kelsey and Baldwin visited Neighborhood Action
numerous times to meet with Tibbetts. “They really
wanted to get some stories and understand how
people became homeless, and how the struggle to
get out of their current situation was going for them,”
says Tibbetts. “We did face-to-face interviews, and
they came over on a couple of evenings when we
had dinners and they sat in the back room here with
people and simply asked them questions. I tried to
find for them as diverse a group of folks as I could, so
they could get a good picture of what it really means
to be homeless or living in poverty. They took all that
information and ran with it.”
“One person, Henry, gave me inspiration for the title
of the show,” says Kelsey. “He was talking about his
addiction and the lifestyle, and he described it as the infinity symbol: you would go out, and you’d just get pulled
back in. It felt like it was never ending. You think you’re
catching a break, and then it sucks you back in again.
And when he said that, it opened a lot of doors for me as
far as the creative process goes and I used references to
the word in the show. It’s a big theme. Thanks Henry!”

Kelsey and Baldwin were in new writing and
directing territory with Infinity. “The script itself is very
experimental,” says Kelsey. “There is somewhat of a
story line, but it’s fragmented. It examines how we
see each other, how we don’t see each other, and
what we don’t realize about each other when we’re
walking down the streets every day—that there is no
difference between us, we’re all looking to just keep
surviving and living our lives and finding happiness
in some way.”

“I’d been there all afternoon and then I remember

The actors walked back and forth, delivering separate and nearly simultaneous lines as they switched
roles. “There are people who are lonely.” “Do you

beyond the stereotypes that many of us have of people who are homeless,” says Kaufman. “People come

for Purnima and Rachel, who really have a sense of
theatrical art, they come to it from a sense of commitment for social change and as a means of exploring the world. Fortunately, they’re good enough so
what they do is actually entertaining, too. It’s not just
discreet or moralizing.”
“There are a lot of reasons why people end up
homeless or in situations like that,” says Kelsey.
The script examines how we see each other, how we don’t see each other, and what
we don’t realize about each other when we’re walking down the streets every day.
a downward cycle of losing everything. The play
then illustrates the difference between the homeless
characters spiraling down and getting more desperate, and the other characters remaining at poverty
level, and the widening gap between them.
One scene in particular illustrates this separation with a familiar exchange observed in the city
on a daily basis. Some of the characters are scurrying to get to work, weaving around the homeless characters who stand motionless, asking for
money, “Do you have a quarter?” “I need the quarter.” “Well I need it more.” “Well you’re not listening
to me.” “You’re a jerk because you’re not giving
me the quarter.” “You’re a jerk because you won’t
get a job.”
“It was very courageous to try to explore such
a painful topic about people who’ve been marginalized and vilified, who we all want to shut out of our
lives,” says Jim Kaufman, general manager of the
Theatre Department and weekly logistics adviser to
the students during the making of the play. “It’s not
very pleasant to think about that, to hold a mirror

there something we can do about it? In the best of

the money is gone, nowhere to go.” Actresses on the

all men are created equal…” “We all have a path for
life. There are different paths to take. My path could
be your path but my path is my own path.” “I am
alive. I am breathing. I am walking the path that is my
life.” And in unison, the nine voices echo, “I will get
there. I will get there.”
Their voices join softly in “America the Beautiful.”
“Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of
grain…” “In reality I know very little,” they continue,
bullhorns raised to the sky. “I know what is around
me. There are problems that surpass the basic needs
for shelter. We’re looking for a solution that may never
come. Which voices are we listening to? How will we
see ourselves? How will see each other? How will we
embrace all of life, how will we decide what to love
about ourselves, and one another, and our world?”
The actors moved into a line formation, put the
bullhorns down, and took a deep bow. And Infinity,
the play, was complete.
“Many of the stereotypes, which have truth behind
them, have to do with drug abuse, drug addiction,
alcohol, and mental illness. A lot of schizophrenic
people end up on the street, a lot of war vets, and I
met all of those people.
“But then you’ll meet someone who got in a
car accident and didn’t have insurance, and it’s
just really bad circumstances that led them to this
place. That’s what really changed for me: seeing
beyond the stereotypes. It really could be anybody, any one of us. They’re very kind and intelligent people who have a lot to offer, a lot of people
realize that but there are so many who don’t. And
that’s unfortunate, and that’s one of the goals of
the show—to get people’s perception to change a
little bit. Like mine did.”
“Take a look at the other side for a while,” says
Baldwin, receiving flowers with Kelsey after the show.
“Take a look at that other person. Consider who they
are, instead of stereotyping them into who you think
they are.”

THE Modern Theatre
Awakens FROM SLUMBER TEXT/Amy Nora Long
Suffolk University’s search for increased
classroom and dormitory space has led to the Modern
Theatre, the last of three theatres on lower Washington
Street in need of a savior. The nearby
Paramount Theatre is currently being
renovated by Emerson College and
the adjacent Opera House reopened
in 2004 to house Broadway touring
productions.
Suffolk’s proposed plan for the
space will retain the historic marble
and sandstone façade, creating a
ground floor performance space with
a dormitory above that will connect
to the new dorm at 10 West Street.
“This is a momentous opportunity to raise Suffolk’s profile in
the Boston theatre community by
creating a state-of-the-art facility
while contributing to the revitalization of lower Washington Street,” says Professor
Marilyn Plotkins, chair of the Theatre Department.
The Modern Theatre, built as a furniture store in
1876, became Boston’s first movie house in 1913
and 15 years later the first theatre in the city wired for
Ford Hall Forum Comes Home
TEXT/Alex Minier
Ford Hall Forum, celebrating a century of public
dialogue and free speech, has established a new partnership with the Suffolk University College of Arts &
Sciences. The lecture series’ administrative offices in
the John E. Fenton Building are just one block from
where the original Ford Hall (right) once stood.
The Forum is now the nation’s oldest free public
lecture series. It began in 1908 as a series of Sunday
evening public meetings hosted by George W. Coleman, a prominent Boston businessman, to provide
the “full, free, and open discussion of all vital questions affecting human welfare.”
Since Coleman’s time, the Forum has gone on to
host discussions with the most intriguing figures in our
nation’s modern history, including Maya Angelou, Louis
Brandeis, W.E.B. DuBois, Al Gore, Garrison Keillor, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Henry Kissinger, Ayn Rand, Eleanor Roosevelt, Cokie Roberts, and Malcolm X. While
the original Ford Hall no longer exists, the Forum’s public conversations have continued throughout Greater
Boston with the support of foundations, corporations,
academic institutions, and individuals.
[44]
Suffolk University, which also just celebrated its
centennial, is providing the Forum with the opportunity to “come home” not only to Beacon Hill but also
into an academic environment that shares a similar
spirit and history of accessible education and civic
dialogue. “Both organizations were born in the Progressive Era, and both have a commitment to free
speech and interactive learning,” says Dean Kenneth Greenberg. “We are eager for our community
to engage in the excitement of live, public discourse
that is the heart of the Ford Hall Forum events.”
Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, is scheduled
to kick off the Forum’s fall 2008 season in September. Future speakers include Gary Hershberg, CEO
of Stonyfield Farm and author of Stirring It Up: How
to Make Money and Save the World, and Gwen Ifill,
host of PBS’ Washington Week in Review. See the
Ford Hall Forum ad on page 13 for the complete season line-up.

sound. After a brief stint screening adult films in the
70s, an attempt to restore the space into a performing arts center eventually failed in the early 80s. The
Modern has remained vacant and
in increasing need of repair for the
last 20 years.
“The project fulfills an academic
need of the University,” says John
Nucci, vice president for external
affairs, “and also restores an important part of Boston’s history.”
The Modern Theatre project, part
of the University’s Institutional Master Plan, has been very well received
by the community, particularly Mayor
Thomas M. Menino, whose administration has pushed for the preservation of Boston’s historic theatres. And
with the addition of the Modern, the
University will be halfway to its goal of
housing 50% of its undergraduate students.
“The Modern Theatre and West Street Dorm complex promises to be one of the most attractive and
exciting areas of the University and the neighborhood,” says Nucci.

The spring semester marked the opening
of Suffolk University’s new TV studio, known as
“Studio 73” for its location at 73 Tremont Street
in the Rosalie Stahl building. Built in the space
formerly occupied by a gift shop, the 660-squarefoot studio is equipped with three Panasonic HPX
500 high-definition cameras, a full lighting grid,
and a professional control room that provides
broadcast journalism students hands-on experience in a professional setting.
“We always had great production equipment
but no studio space,” says TV studio lab instructor Jason Carter.
This semester, Carter, along with journalism
professor Shoshana Madmoni-Gerber, has been
able to use Studio 73 to produce Temple Street,
a student-run news program that covers stories
throughout the community. Until the opening of
the studio, this advanced broadcast journalism
class had to convert a classroom into a temporary space to film. Students now can professionally produce all the news show aspects, from
researching to shooting and editing, before airing
on the Boston Neighborhood Network.
Aside from Temple Street, says Carter, “We
are looking to get a group of students to work on
a news show and be behind the scenes to make
those shows possible.” Focusing directly on the

University, these news shows will stream once a
week to Suffolk dormitories and potentially to the
University’s website as well. “We are hooked up
to a Verizon fiber hub so theoretically, we could
broadcast anywhere,” says Carter.
Accompanying the news show would be a
sports segment hosted by Adam Nelson, head
basketball coach and assistant director of athletics. Interested students will be able to attend free
training seminars next semester. Also in development is a filmed oral history of Suffolk University.
And in April, Suffolk University and New England
Cable News (NECN) formalized an agreement to
become partners in the studio, an event kicked
off with a live broadcast of Jim Braude, host of
NECN’s NewsNight program, and Mayor Thomas
Menino in the new studio.
By next semester, the department hopes to
develop a studio crew to provide equipment training, allowing classes, clubs, and students the
chance to use the space. This crew will also create new work-study positions and make the studio
more accessible. “The goal for Studio 73,” says
Carter, “is to be a space that is reserveable for
shoots, provides a knowledgeable crew, and performs a service to the Communication and Journalism department and the University as a whole.”

Questions about corporate governance and
accountability, rapid developments in biotechnology,
international warfare, and other controversial issues,
are sparking public debate as they challenge our current law and public policy. In a wide variety of fields—
in business, healthcare, biotechnology, and government—moral and ethical dilemmas are redefining
business as usual. Today’s public policy leaders require
a new and expanded approach to their work.
The Master of Science in Ethics and Public Policy,
a new interdisciplinary program offered by the Philosophy and Government departments of the College
of Arts & Sciences, provides this innovative approach.
This groundbreaking graduate program—
the only one
of its kind in
the region—
is designed to
equip students
with a comprehensive set of
practical tools to
critically examine the ethical underpinnings of public
policy. With this training, both recent graduates and
professionals more advanced in their careers will be
prepared to guide research, development, and governance strategies at the cutting edge, and respond to
the hot-button policy questions that follow.
“Combining the academically rich philosophical
tradition with a contemporary and practical handson approach, Suffolk’s MEPP program is unique in
bringing humanistic and social scientific perspectives
together to tackle complex questions of public policy,” says Graduate Program Director Nir Eisikovits
(above). The program requires the completion of 30
credits (ten courses), including four required courses,
five electives, and an internship or master’s thesis. With
potential program tracks including Business Ethics,
Environmental Ethics, Medical Ethics, and Political
Theory, students are encouraged to design their own
course of study to reflect their intellectual and professional interests.
The program may be completed on a full-time basis during three
semesters (fall, spring, summer), or on a part-time basis in two
years. For more information, contact Nir Eisikovits, PhD, LLB, graduate program director, by email to neisikov@suffolk.edu, or at

letter from the director of alumni relations
Dear Alumni,
It is with tremendous pride that I
joined the Alumni Office as the director of alumni
relations for the College of Arts and Sciences
this past year. The opportunity to “come home”
to represent Suffolk University as a CAS alumna
and partner with Dean Kenneth Greenberg, the
talented faculty in the College, and dedicated
career services and admissions directors as we
engage alumni and share the College’s substantial growth in recent years, has been both
personally and professionally rewarding.
This year the University’s Alumni Association launched a campaign to support alumni
in their personal and professional networking by promoting the Alumni On-Line Community and Career Advisory Network. What a
marvelous opportunity to reconnect with your
friends from the Rathskellars in the cafeteria,
the study groups in the lower levels of the
Sawyer Library, your dorm friends from Miller
Hall or 150 Tremont Street, or the friends you
met before classes at Capital Coffee or afterwards at the timeless Red Hat. This valuable
online resource is also a fun, effective way to
learn from the wisdom and experience of top
professionals in your industry.
One of the most exciting initiatives to
develop this year included the celebration of
the 25th Reunion during the Alumni Weekend program in June. As the Class of ’83

I have enjoyed collaborating with these
alumni around Reunion, and also meeting or
reconnecting with alumni through programs
such as the popular Third Thursday Networking Nights. I encourage you to attend these
events and invite you to tour the modern
campus. The beautiful, new high-definition
TV Studio at the Rosalie K. Stahl Center at

Our Alumni Board members are goaldriven and filled with enthusiasm. Our goal is
to provide greater opportunity for all alumni to
strengthen ties and remain involved with the
University. In furtherance of that goal, I would
like to take the opportunity to introduce The
Young Alumni Advisory Group (YAAG). YAAG is
a new addition to the Suffolk University Alumni
Association and is geared toward alumni who
have graduated within the last 10 years. This
group conducts events such as career workshops and professional networking sessions,
allowing recent graduates full immersion in the
world of young professionals.
Suffolk University Alumni Weekend,
hosted annually in June, is another great
opportunity to stay connected and return to
the charming urban campus that became
our home away from home. This past year,
record-breaking alumni attendance occurred
during a weekend of family programming
designed to reconnect those celebrating a
5th, 10th, 25th, or 50th Reunion. The multi-
[56]
SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2008/2009 Alumni Magazine
day celebration culminated with the spectacular Outstanding Alumni Awards Dinner honoring Doreen Vigue BSJ’88 with the
Achievement Award and Dennis Walczewski
BS’70 with the Service Award.
I am privileged to be president of our
beloved Alumni Board and continue the hard
work of my predecessors Barbara Boehler
BA’93, JD’04 and Anthony DiIeso BA’62.
Our Board is committed to making a powerful impact on the Suffolk campus and playing
a major role in the life of the University. We
collaborate with the Dean’s Office, Admissions, Career Services, and the Alumni Office
to communicate initiatives and engage the
Alumni Association. As an association, we
need your participation. If you are looking for
a way to volunteer your time, we are seeking your help!
My line of communication is open to you;
this Board is open to you. We are volunteering our time because we feel very passionate
about this University, and we want to be part
of shaping this fine institution. I would like to
encourage all of you to e-mail your thoughts
and suggestions to me.

ALUMNI WEEKEND
June 12-15, 2008
More than 300 graduates attended Alumni Week-
end 2008, a 75% increase in attendance over last
year. The graduates participated in a variety of events
designed to celebrate the spirit of Suffolk University
and its alumni.
Activities included a Young Alumni Networking
Night, a tour of the Mildred F. Sawyer Library, the
Half-Century Club Luncheon, a night at Symphony
Hall for the Boston Pops, walking tours of the campus and the Freedom Trail, a trip to the waterfront to
visit the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), a visit to
Fenway—“America’s most beloved ballpark,” and a
rolling Duck Tour of Boston.
Nearly 50 members of the Class of ’83 shared
an evening at the Prudential Skywalk for their 25th
Reunion reception, the first time this milestone reunion
has been added to Alumni Weekend. The Outstanding Alumni Awards Presentation, also held at the Skywalk the same evening, had close to 100 alumni on
hand to honor their former classmates.

The Outstanding Alumni Awards
The Outstanding Alumni Awards ceremony, held during Alumni Weekend at the Prudential
Skywalk, honored four members of the alumni community for their exceptional contributions
to Suffolk and society. Two recipients were College of Arts & Sciences alumni—the CAS Alumni
Achievement Award was presented to Doreen I. Vigue BSJ’87 and the Alumni Service Award
was presented to Dennis Walczewski BS’70.
Alumni Service Award
Alumni Achievement Award
Dennis H. Walczewski BS’70
Doreen I. Vigue BSJ’87
Dennis Walczewski recalls
DorEEn (Iudica) Vigue now
taking the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority, precursor to today’s
MBTA) from his house in Chelsea to
City Square in Charlestown where he
made a bus connection that would
bring him to his classes on Beacon
Hill. In those days, virtually all Suffolk
University students had to commute
and nearly as many worked full or
part-time jobs to help them pay their
way through college.
Reared in a Polish immigrant family
and the first person in his family to graduate from college, Walczewski attended
classes and worked at the Chelsea
YMCA after school. His family instilled in
him a strong work ethic and an emphasis on education, both of which were
supported by Suffolk’s mission.
While a student, Walczewski
became the business manager of
the Suffolk Journal. He remembers
covering everything from Vietnam
War protests and peace sit-ins on
the Boston Common to the first Earth Day in Washington, D.C. Perhaps the first
forensic chemist to graduate from Suffolk, Walczewski got his degree, joined the
army and then worked for the US Department of Justice in New York City, where
he became the first DEA special agent to have a mixed background in enforcement and forensic chemistry. “I was a Special Agent and my assignment was
breaking up clandestine laboratories.”
Recently Walczewski has helped Professor Doris Lewis and the rest of the chemistry/biochemistry faculty by serving as an adviser for Suffolk’s innovative chemistry
and business program. He takes time to mentor students and is quick to emphasize
that “a science major needs to have a business background. So, go for an MBA or
get your master’s because the rest of the world runs on business.” He credits Suffolk
with supporting his can-do attitude and goal driven approach. Now, as a CEO of a
mid-sized biotech company, Woburn-based MBL International, he is able to reflect
on winning the Alumni Service Award from the university that he is so proud to have
attended. “You must give back to the things that helped make you successful.”
wonders how she managed to take
a full schedule of classes while
working three jobs during each of
her four years at Suffolk. Whether it
was working on campus for Suffolk
icon Lou Connelly, at a hair salon
in Faneuil Hall, or as a work-study
student for the Boston Globe, she
now recognizes that the long hours
and hard work actually helped prepare her for the rigors of professional life.
The daughter of second generation Italian immigrants and youngest of four children, she was the
first person in her family to graduate
from college. Coming from a bluecollar family in East Boston, Vigue
credits her parents and siblings with
supporting her throughout school. “I
have a clear memory of my mother
making me a pot of coffee at 3 in the
morning because I was up studying
for a final.”
She remembers back to her senior year of 1987, a time when Suffolk was
strictly a commuter school with no dormitories. Her daily routine was demanding. She would arrive at campus early in the morning, attend classes during
the day, work all afternoon to pay for school, then study at home throughout
the evening.
After graduation she felt a strong attachment to Suffolk and returned frequently as a guest lecturer, then as a teaching assistant. At one point she taught
three journalism courses in the College. As she progressed in her career, Suffolk proved to be a constant presence.
Now, as a vice president and director of communications for New England
Cable News, (NECN), Vigue attributes much of her professional success to her
ongoing connection with Suffolk University. “I got the best journalism degree
here at Suffolk. Doors were opened for me. I was able to launch my career and
achieve my major goal of working for the Boston Globe. Suffolk has always
been there to support me.”

A post-Alumni Weekend letter
It was a recognizable place after so many years being away from the Suffolk community.
Walking down Charles Street was surreal; after 27 years of not participating in any type of school
activity, I still felt a closeness to my five-year home, but saw a very different neighborhood—full of
trendy shops and restaurants where urban blight used to be, surrounded by the campus that helped
shape me into the person I happily am today.
And then I saw the Red Hat. I had a flashback that became a most pleasurable return to a
positive life-shaping place.
It was a welcoming and friendly feeling when I met the alumni office staff at the door of the Red
Hat and was invited in. All my old/new friends were waiting for me. The atmosphere was warm,
cozy, comfortable and cheery. I used to have my newspaper meetings here when I was a writer
for the Suffolk Journal, critiquing the newspaper and laughing and enjoying the company of other
Journal staff while we talked about what we had accomplished in the issue. Now, the same kind
of easy conversation flowed in an eatery that never really changed. The food and drink added to
the gaiety. My main course was taking in the Suffolk experience, talking to people I did not know
but got to be closer to as we shared thoughts and feelings that ran the gamut from our daily life at
Suffolk to what we were doing now.
I wanted the night to last because I was getting so much out of the simple pleasures of sitting around a table with good food and good people. I know the next time an invitation comes to
attend an event that brings me back to Suffolk, I won’t hesitate. Happy faces, boisterous banter,
warm smiles and hand-shakes were my rewards as I left after an enjoyable two hours of reminiscing.When Suffolk calls me again, this alumnus is going back to school for a visit. Won’t you join
me? You won’t regret it. Memories have a funny way of reappearing as reality when you visit Suffolk. You’ll be glad you did!
Sincerely,
Jon Gottlieb BSJ’81

I am interested in creating biological and
geological imagery, such as aerial views of different
climates and microscopic views of organisms. I
create opportunities for my materials—coffee,
cream, sugar, water, and paper—to interact. I
have control over the consistency of the coffee,
the temperature of the room, and the way in which
I apply the mediums to the paper, but there is
always an element of unpredictability. The point
at which my control over the materials ends and
nature does the rest is what intrigues me.
