Student performers sing Meet Me Tonight at the Modern, Marie during the community open house. (Photos by John Gillooly) The historic Washington Street theater once described by Marilyn Plotkins, chair of the Theatre Department, as “a magnificent ruin,” is back in business. The University unveiled the new Modern Theatre in early November with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community open house bringing a brand new performance space to Boston’s Theater District. The Paramount Theatre and the Opera House are the other rescued “jewels” in the area. “This part of Boston has now become a destination. This is part of a larger revitalization that has been dead for so many years,” said Plotkins. At the open house, members of the University community and passersby toured the theater and lobby gallery and enjoyed featured performances by students, including a rendition of the old song, Meet Me Tonight at the Modern, Marie. In an interview with the Boston Globe, Plotkins stressed the advantages of the 185-seat jewel box theater. “The idea is that you could do intimate performances that really focus on words and language. We provide the intimate experience that can only be had in a small theater. Rather than saying, ‘Why aren’t we 600 seats,’ let’s celebrate the fact that we are one of three theaters on lower Washington Street built to do different things well.” “The programming will be modeled after what one might find at the 92nd Street Y in New York City,” she added. The Modern Theatre at Suffolk University has planned an inaugural season of programming that—like the theater itself— is intimate in scale, thoughtful in content, and contemporary and innovative in approach. It will focus on three themes: performance, cinema and conversation Continued on page 3 T he 2010 Deans’ Reception Professor of History John Cavanagh and wife Beth Graham take a moment before entering the Museum of Fine Arts to celebrate his 40 years of dedicated service to the University at the Deans’ Reception, an annual event honoring faculty, administrators and staff.

Rather than assuming debt is just a part of life, this could be the year for change. Take advantage of one of the exciting new and cost free benefits for faculty, staff and members of their households. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP2), offered through The Wellness Corporation, provides a wide variety of short-term counseling and referral services, including budget planning and debt management. Here are some other tips to help get started: ■■ Track spending. You might be surprised about where your money is going. ■■ Don’t use credit cards if you don’t have money to spend. You will end up paying more in finance charges and late fees. ■■ If you don’t have enough money to purchase gifts, why not be creative and tap into your own talents? People love baked goods or handmade gifts. Maybe someone in your life would appreciate some help around the house or just a nice visit from you. ■■ Start saving now for the future. See if you can set aside even a little bit each month. No matter what you do, try your best not to get overwhelmed. Making small changes along the way can have a big impact. Enjoy the season!  EAP2: New Assistance Program for Employees The University has introduced a new service for employees, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP2), a confidential and voluntary counseling and referral service, provided free of charge to faculty, staff and members of their households. The plan is offered to help employees manage the problems, challenges and issues in their work and personal lives. The acronym EAP is used in most literature explaining employee assistance. At Suffolk the program will be called EAP2 to distinguish it from the University’s Emergency Action Plan which is referred to as EAP . The services are available through The Wellness Corporation, with licensed counselors providing assessment, short-term counseling and, when appropriate, referrals for marital/family relations, emotional difficulties and problems caused by alcohol and/or other drug abuse. The short-term counseling meetings are limited to three sessions per issue or per family unit, but continuity of care between the EAP2 and Suffolk’s health plans is maintained to assure that continuing counseling may be covered under the health plan for eligible services. The EAP2 replaces the excellent counseling service provided to employees by the University Counseling Center for a number of years. The Counseling Center must focus attention on student service. However, the staff remains available to employees who wish to consult, discuss referrals or other matters. EAP2 also offers financial planning services, budget or debt assistance, legal consultation and referral services, new parent transition coaching, and health coaching through “Healthy Start. In addition, the EAP2 will replace ” the child care and eldercare assistance previously offered by WarmLines. In September all eligible employees received a letter explaining EAP2. Additional information is available on The Wellness Corporation Web site: www.WellnessWorkLife.com or on the link from the Human Resources site. To access services call 1-800-828-6025. Licensed, trained counselors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide assistance. Human Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicked off with more than 300 members of the University community donning pink T-shirts and forming a human ribbon to show their support for the fight against breast cancer. “This is the ninth consecutive year participating in Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Suffolk and it has gotten bigger and bigger every year,” said Norine Bacigalupo, a professor in the Communication and Journalism Department and a breast cancer survivor. “It has pulled the whole school together with everyone in the community becoming involved.” (Photo by John Gillooly) D e c e m b e r 2 010 7 �Performing Arts Director Takes Center Stage Kristin Baker, director of the Performing Arts Office, has been named president of the board of directors for Stage Source, The Greater Boston Theatre Alliance. Baker is the first woman to be elected to this position, and will serve a two-year term. She will step down as co-chair of the organization’s education committee (which she has served for the past four years), but will continue to have a hand in its operations. In her dual role at Stage Source and Suffolk, Baker hopes to connect University students with the Boston area’s burgeoning theater scene through Stage Source membership discounts, internship opportunities and free tickets to shows. She also hopes to bring a series of panel discussions relating to careers in theater to Suffolk students. “It’s a bit intimidating, but I’ve inherited a very successful operation and a track record of 10 years of budget balance and surplus,” said Baker. “I’m hoping over the next two years that we can continue that growth.” Stage Source provides leadership and services to advance the art of theater in the Greater Boston region by uniting a broad network of theater artists, theater companies and related organizations.  Honored With Heritage Medallions The University recognized the commitment of four people who made outstanding contributions to the life of the University through its 2010 Heritage Medallion Ceremony on Sept.21.

The University unveiled the sleek new athletics logo this month. “It’s a wonderful modern version of what’s been a great tradition for the University,” said Nancy Stoll, vice president for Student Affairs. “It will give a real boost to the athletics program in terms of visibility.” The old Ram logo has served the University well since it was created after the student body decided in 1950 that athletes would compete as Rams rather than Royals. The Ram image hasn’t had a major makeover in decades, and the old icon’s level of detail makes for difficult reproduction on clothing and in other materials. Stoll and others felt it was time to consider a cleaner, more contemporary look. Student Affairs turned to the Office of University Communications, and Art Director Donald Suthard began the process of creating an updated spirit logo. Suthard had a sense of what a new icon should convey. “First, I knew I wanted something that respected the animal,” Suthard said. “Something that was majestic, that was not cartoony.” He also wanted a modern image with simple lines, making for easier and higher-quality reproduction. After trolling through online portfolios Suthard came across the work of Chris Mitchell, an internationally known illustrator based in England. “He had exactly what I was looking for,’” said Suthard. “He was very experienced doing animals, and his animals were beautiful.” Mitchell has designed logos and other artwork for familiar global brands, including Schweppes tonic water; and sports teams such as England’s Tottenham Hotspur soccer club. His drawings have an imaginative, identifiable and expressive style, and the artist has a way of taking the essence of what he’s representing and whittling it down to simple, striking shapes. Collaborating through e-mail, Suthard sent the illustrator a video of rams butting heads to emphasize that the new logo should be aggressive and show action. Continued on page 4 A Milestone for the Residential Campus The University’s fourth residence hall opened as students returned to campus, providing 200 beds in a LEED Silver building that combines cutting edge construction and historic reconstruction in one facility. The residence hall is the fourth to come online since the University began the transition from a commuter to a residential campus when it opened the 150 Tremont St. residence hall to students in 1996. The Modern Theatre residence hall also houses a theater and gallery. “We have realized an important goal, as the University is now housing 25 percent of its full-time undergraduate students,” said John Nucci, vice president for External Affairs. “This is good for the city, which wants to preserve neighborhood housing for city residents and revitalize the downtown area, and it’s good for the students, because they have a safe and convenient place to live, study and congregate.” The residence hall is built on the site of the historic Modern Theatre, Boston’s first movie house, and the theater’s historic facade has been restored and rebuilt. A celebratory opening will take place in early November. Rod Waters, director of Residence Life & Summer Programs, checks out a student room in the new Modern Theatre residence hall as move-in day approaches.

Students Theresa Tsui and Henry Lo attended English classes, led by Elaine Pascale and Ruth Collins of Second Language Services. The National Science Foundation has awarded Math & Computer Science Professor Dan Stefanescu a three-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) grant. The $320,000 grant establishes the University as a national REU site for undergraduate students from across the country to study advanced topics and conduct high-quality research in computer science. “This is quite a prestigious grant, and I’m very excited to receive it,” said Stefanescu. “It shows all the good work we perform here in our department, in addition to enhancing Suffolk’s national reputation.” Stefanescu and Math & Computer Science Department colleagues Dmitry Zinoviev and Honggang Zhang and Sukanya Ray of the Psychology Department will lead students in conducting research projects that investigate various aspects of massive online social networks. This is the second major grant awarded to the Math & Computer Science Department. Last year, Assistant Professor Honggang Zhang received a five-year, $400,000 NSF grant, “CAREER: Unstructured Dynamic Overlay Networks and Strategic Users,” to perform computer networks-related research.  S e p t e m b e r 2 010 3 �Change of Season… • • • • • • • • Now is a great time to get energized and prepare for the New England weather we all know is right around the corner. Here are some helpful tips for a safe and healthy season: Be careful walking and driving. As the days get shorter and we get back into our school and home routines, it’s important to stay aware of what’s going on around us. Have chimneys professionally inspected and cleaned before use. Imperfections in the base could lead to carbon monoxide being released into the home. Soot buildup or birds’ nests could lead to fires. Have furnaces cleaned to ensure that they work efficiently. Check and replace the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace smoke detectors that are more than 10 years old. Replace carbon monoxide detectors that are more than 5 years old. Check windows for leaks and install any existing storm windows. Prune trees now if the branches are too close to electrical wires or the house. Winterize cars: Replace wiper blades; put an ice scraper/brush in the trunk. Have cars serviced on schedule. Keep up with or get started on exercise. Happy Fall!  Strength in Numbers The University Police Department participated in the 24th annual American Parkinson Disease Association Walk-A-Thon to support colleague Greg Grande, center, who has Parkinson’s disease. (Cory Brett Photography) Community Engagement Celebrated The Office of External Affairs this fall will publish the first of what will be annual reports on the University’s community engagement efforts. Suffolk University Community Engagement 2009-2010: Culture, Citizenship, Service provides highlights of the University’s service-learning efforts, volunteer outreach and cultural offerings. It features the good works of faculty, students, administrators and staff in a colorful booklet. “This publication shows the University’s commitment to being a good neighbor and putting its expertise to work for the greater good,” said John Nucci, vice president of External Affairs. “It will be a valuable communications tool as the University works with the community and city officials on issues of mutual interest.  New SU Ram Continued from page 1 “Donald Suthard, in briefing me, knew what he wanted and stuck by his vision,” Mitchell said. “It was clear that the new identity, whilst being a flagship for the Athletics Department, had to be proudly endorsed by the students and unite them in their sporting endeavors. A modern, powerful, dynamic, illustrative ram icon was required while projecting an air of style and prestige.” Mitchell provided rough sketches of a new ram image, which were shown, along 4 SUN with the old icon, to student athletes and others. The overwhelming consensus was in favor of the version with the ram in an oval. Suthard points to the work Mitchell did with positive and negative space. “With the hooves and tail, there are expressive lines, just some beautiful work he does there,” he said. “It’s bold, dynamic, clean and immediately recognizable.” The Suffolk University Bookstore expects to begin stocking clothing and caps with the new Ram logo in early October. Meanwhile, plans are under way to design a custom-made Ram mascot that will reflect the Athletic Department’s updated look. Suthard stresses that the old Ram logo will not be put entirely out to pasture. Many alumni remain attached to it. And there are precedents for old and new logos that co-exist: Patriots fans can still buy merchandise with the classic Pat Patriot logo in addition to garb with the team’s current logo.  � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Alan plans to apply to the school’s Masters in Accounting program, with the goal of becoming a CPA. There was more “brotherly love” at commencement, as Christopher and David DiGuardia received master’s degrees in Communication and Journalism and Mental Health Counseling, respectively. Christopher, who also earned his undergraduate degree in Communication and Journalism from Suffolk, and David are the sons of Bob DiGuardia, a longtime Suffolk employee who has two Suffolk degrees, and his wife, Mary, who has three. “Suffolk University has been part of my family since I came here in 1973,” said Bob, director of applications in the Information Technology Services Department. “My boys have literally grown up here, walking the halls of Suffolk since childhood. We are all grateful to Suffolk for the many opportunities it has afforded us.” Continued on page 4 Camille A. Nelson to Become Law School Dean Camille Nelson Distinguished legal scholar Camille A. Nelson has been named dean of the Law School, effective Sept. 1. “Camille Nelson joins us in sharing a longstanding conviction that the potential for excellence is unlocked when doors are opened to people of ability from all backgrounds and circumstances, and I am confident that she will continue the Law School’s mission of opportunity,” said President David J. Sargent. “She is committed to public service and the pursuit of social justice, and we expect that the Law School will flourish through her energy, collaborative leadership style and vision.” Nelson most recently was a professor of law at Hofstra University School of Law. She earned her law degree at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law and a master of laws from Columbia Law School. “Suffolk University Law School is an incredible place, and I am honored to be joining its ranks,” said Nelson. “It is a community of engaged scholars, dedicated teachers, involved alumni, hard-working professionals and exceptional students.”  �Potpourri Barbara Abrams, Humanities and Modern Languages, presented a paper based on her new book, Le Bizarre and Le Décousu: French Eighteenth Century Origins of the Concept of Marginality, at the American Society of Eighteenth Century Studies conference in Albuquerque, N.M.  Erika Gebo, Sociology, was awarded two grants from the Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Security to help Massachusetts communities address youth and gang violence.

In India, rangolis are commonly created outside homes to consecrate ground and to ensure prosperity and success. The Suffolk rangoli was meant to bless the 20 Somerset St. site of the planned New England School of Art & Design and “to ensure the future building’s successful completion and longevity,” said Bokhari.  Gowri Savoor and Afshan Bokhari in front of the rongoli (Photo by John Gillooly).

The 30-day challenge is a program created and co-sponsored by the offices of Health & Wellness Services and Human Resources. The SO FIT challenge focuses not on physical health alone; it is based on “finding balance” in health and wellness. The challenge uses the traditional model of wellness, which incorporates social, intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional and environmental wellness as a framework. SO FIT participants formed teams of faculty/staff, students or a combination; filled out weekly wellness score sheets; and submitted them to the SO FIT team captains for scorekeeping. Points were accrued for a range of health and wellness activities, such as exercising, recycling, healthy eating, limiting caffeine, and more. At the end of the 30 days, a luncheon was held for participants, with awards and prizes for the top scores in each team category. A large part of the SO FIT challenge was participation in designated wellness events. Many events were hosted or sponsored by departments on campus, demonstrating that if we think about wellness in a holistic framework, we have many campus SO FIT Cookbook and Recipe Challenge Human Resources and the Office of Health and Wellness Services are putting together a SO FIT Healthful Recipes Cookbook for the University community. Members of the community are invited to share their favorite recipes for healthy appetizers, entrées, side dishes, desserts, smoothies or drinks. Entries should include the nutritional information as well as the source of the recipe, i.e., Cooking Light magazine. Go to http:// recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp to calculate the nutritional information. One recipe in each category will be highlighted in the cookbook as a “SO FIT Winning Recipe, ” and the entrant will receive a prize. The University’s wellness ambassadors will choose two recipes in each category to be prepared by a test team and then select the winners from that group. Submissions must be sent to lanthony@suffolk.edu by Monday, Aug. 2. The 2010 wellness ambassadors are Tim Albers, Judy Benson, Terry Bishop, Lou Brum, Wendy Cimino, Jessica DaSilva, Victoria DeBassio, Marty Elmore, Jackie Gould, Maria Guerriero, Nichole Kaye, Janine LaFauci, Sharon Lenzie, Theresa Malionek, Keren McDowell, Judy Reynolds, Vivian Rosado, Betty Sanes, Dhan Shrestha, Jonathan Talley, Janet Wolk and Joe Wolk. resources to help us find our balance.

The University is once again at the data-collection stage of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation process, providing an opportunity to examine how well Suffolk is fulfilling its mis­ sion, according to Vice President of Academic Affairs Janice Griffith, who is heading up the NEASC self-study for 2012. The American Library Association’s recognition of Dugan’s book as the winner of the 2010 Greenwood Publishing Group Award for the Best Book in Library Litera­ ure can serve t as inspiration to committees formed to implement the self-study.

Dugan began developing a new means He was able to develop basic tables so that of organizing information about the library’s the library could determine, for example, holdings, one that has become a model for how many books it owned and how many other university libraries. circulated. Dugan, working with Assistant Director “When we began our building program, Becky Fulweiler, developed a statisticalwe could tell definitively how many books we had and how much shelving we would need, so we didn’t underbuild or overbuild,” said Dugan. “We also know the days and hours we’re busiest, and that means we can staff accordingly.” Some fun facts that SMIS has revealed about the Sawyer Library: • The library’s busiest day is the first Tuesday after Labor Day • More than half of library usage occurs from outside the building • For every $1 the University spends on the library, it returns more than $8 in services Now, as the University readies for the next accreditation cycle, Duggan said the NEASC form “will take us about three minutes to complete,” because all the necessary data is in hand. “We can show how far we’ve pro­ gressed since the last self-study, and we can show support from the University,” he said. When the NEASC site team arrives on campus, “we don’t have to say, ‘This library is a good library.’ We can show them what we do.” “The NEASC self-study encour­ ages us to explore what the University is doing well and how we can improve,” said Griffith. “The dynamics of higher education have shifted rapidly in the past two years. The recession and changed leadership in Washington have resulted in some new paradigms. A thorough self-study will be extremely beneficial in helping us plan for Suffolk University’s future.”  Living on the Dock of the Bay David DeAngelis never has to worry about mowing the lawn around his house, because he doesn’t have one.

The plan resulted from discussion among several departments about how to integrate sustainability into planning and operations, according to Erica Mattison, campus sustainability coordinator and Sustainability Committee chair. “We have been able to take many ideas from committee mem­ bers and others and turn them into actionable items,” she said. “As we strive to become a more sustainable institution, there is a value in having a written plan to help prioritize and guide our efforts.” The plan, which is available through the Sustainability Web page — www.suffolk.edu/sustainability — describes recent achievements, sets goals and outlines strategies. It addresses issues that include green building practices, energy and water conserva­ The SUN i s publ ished by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu 2 SUN Executive Editor Greg Gatlin Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark tion, waste reduction and recycling, environmentally preferred purchasing, sustainable dining, and education and outreach.

For those living within biking distance of work, commuting on two wheels can be a great option. Bicycle commuting incorporates regular exercise into the day without the necessity of even having to think about finding the time. In addition to decreasing the cost of the daily commute, cutting down on driving trips by even a little bit can do a lot to decrease air pollution. Learn more about the University’s efforts to support biking to work at www.suffolk.edu/offices/19868.html. Cycling can have tremendous health benefits that include decreasing cholesterol, blood pressure and the risk of heart attack. Many people find that cycling also can help lower stress levels and increase overall feelings of wellbeing. Before hopping on the saddle, would-be cyclists should check out a local bike shop for tips about what kind of bike is appropriate. A well-fitted helmet is an essential piece of gear, and no one should ever ride without one. A check-in with a health care provider is also a good idea for those who have any concerns about adding cycling to their repertoire of physical activities.  Dave DeAngelis at home on the Nan-Sea in Charlestown. (Photos by John Gillooly) Dock of the Bay Continued from page 1 Eight years ago, DeAngelis moved to the Constitution Marina from New Haven, where he was working at Quinnipiac University. “Most people would simply pack up the moving truck and drive to their next location,” he said. “I, on the other hand, untied my dock lines and sailed north for three days.” His C&C cruiser racer is equipped with all the comforts of home, including two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, bathroom, two flat-screen televisions, electric and propane heat, and hot running water. “I live on the boat twelve months a year, and I love it,” said DeAngelis. “It’s a normal house, except that it’s in the water. And I have as perfect a waterfront view as you’re ever going to get.” During the winter his boat is covered in shrink wrap to protect it from the elements. However the boat truly comes to life in summer, with sails, flags and the freedom to cruise the open sea. “I boat every weekend in the summer,” said DeAngelis. “The people at the marina, who are all ages and from all walks of life, are great, and we all get along. We socialize together in our own little world or floating village.” Living so close to the USS Constitution does have its challenging moments. “The cannon goes off at 8 a.m. and sunset every day,” said DeAngelis. “Let’s just say that you better be ready for it.”  4 SUN � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Both were born in China but moved to the West to pursue higher education. Though of different generations, they shared a fascination with art, literature and education. Zheng, an English Department faculty member, first learned of Chiang Yee when a friend sent him Yee’s English-language book on calligraphy, initially published in 1938. Zheng, then studying in Shanghai, worked with friends to translate the volume into Chinese. Zheng moved to the United States in 1986. One day a book on a friend’s coffee table caught his eye. It was called The Silent Traveller in Boston, and on the cover was a watercolor of Park Street Church, a landmark Zheng had not yet seen. “I saw the name Chiang Yee and was amazed,” said Zheng. “I didn’t know that the author of Chinese Calligraphy was also a travel writer.” The artist-author piqued Zheng’s interest, and he began to read more about him. Zheng’s research is focused on Chinese-American literature, and Yee, who covered art, travel, memoir and children’s stories in more than 25 published books, made a fascinating subject. In February Zheng published Chiang Yee: The Silent Traveller from the East, a cultural study of a man who spent more than half his life in the West writing and illustrating a series of travel books from the point of view of an outsider looking in. “This is a book I really put my heart into,” said Zheng. “To a large extent I was writing about someone like myself.” Yee was a close friend of historian and Boston Athenaeum Director Walter Muir Whitehill, and the illustrations for The Silent Traveller in Boston are now in the Athenaeum’s collection. The Athenaeum has allowed the University to reproduce them for an exhibit at the Adams Gallery. Louisburg Square, illustration from The Silent Traveller in Boston, by Chiang Yee. (Courtesy of Boston Athenaeum) The exhibit Chiang Yee: The Silent Traveller from the East, celebrating both the author of the Silent Traveller books and Zheng’s comprehensive study of his life and times, will run from March 26 through May 30. Zheng will speak on “Chiang Yee, the Boston Athenaeum, and Cultural Understanding” at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 15, at the Boston Athenaeum.  Center Spearheads Efforts to Teach Advocacy Skills at U.N. Laura Roskos and Amy Agigian of the Center for Women’s Health and Human Rights will offer experience in the art of advocacy at the United Nations through sessions to be held in conjunction with the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference and the meetings of the Commission on the Status of Women. The 20 participants chosen for each session will gain temporary delegate status, attend official and non-government organization (NGO) sessions, and contribute to the documentation of both official and NGO meetings at the United Nations in New York. In addition to learning about negotiation, advocacy points and networking, practicum participants complete several assignments, the most important of which is to create an advocacy project when they return to their home campuses. “We teach the women how important citizen engagement is,” said Roskos. “They figure out the ropes, learn how to network with NGOs, meet government officials and participate in turning specific proposals into documents that can be adopted by U.N. bodies. This success empowers them to engage in successful civic campaigns in their home environments.”  �Faculty Publications Edward G.

If you are someone who thinks you don’t have enough time to eat breakfast, think again. We often spend our mornings running around getting our families ready for the day, yet we forget ourselves in the mix. Most of us know the benefits of feeding our children breakfast: They will concentrate better in school, have fuel for the day to be more physically active and have fewer sick days from school. Why don’t we apply the same rules to ourselves? Skipping breakfast decreases your metabolism and makes it harder for you to concentrate. This ultimately leads you to snack impulsively later in the day. Why not try some of these healthy and quick breakfast ideas to start your day off on the right foot? • Smoothies are great options. Blend low-fat yogurt with fruit (frozen or fresh is fine), put it in a travel mug and go. • Whole grain cold or hot cereals can satisfy you for hours. • Whole grain bagels with a little peanut butter can keep you full until lunchtime. • Try baking a batch of bran muffins or even hard boil some eggs the day before. You can easily grab one in the morning. Even if you are short on time, quick and flexible options can give you plenty of healthy ways to put breakfast back on to your “To Do” list. Of course, always speak with your medical provider about any health concerns you may have.  Haiti Relief Effort The campus community was quick to respond to the devastation wrought by the earthquake in Haiti, with faculty and students from all three schools coordinating efforts through SU ONE: Helping Haiti Together. SU ONE activities had raised $1,600 by late February, according to Dave DeAngelis, director of Student Leadership and Involvement.

It is open morning through night to University employees for a one-time membership fee of $20. “I try to get in there five days a week, and I love it,” said DeCapua, an avid runner who averages 50 miles per week and has participated in five marathons. “I feel much better after working out, both mentally and physically. You feel more energized and refreshed, and that helps you work better. ” Dennis, too, talked about the energizing aspect of the fitness center. “Working out here helps me to set the tone for the day,” she said. “It’s very convenient and a wonderful benefit of being in this building.” Said Velez: “I’m fully awake after working out; it motivates me. Exercise always helps to relieve stress in a person’s life. You need that outlet, especially in the cold weather when it’s not that easy to run outside.”  � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Over the years, new content was added to Campus Cruiser in bits and pieces. “We updated the look and organized content in what we hope is a logical way,” said Michael Schneider of the Office of University Communications, which worked closely with Information Technology Services on the yearlong project. Faculty members will notice that the SAIL terminology is gone, but content formerly organized under SAIL may be found under the Faculty tab. The MySuffolk portal provides a starting point for browsing the University’s internal communication structure. In time, forms and information pertinent only to members of the University community will no longer be on the University Web site, but will be accessible through MySuffolk. For example, Public Affairs now has publicity forms for students and faculty online, easily accessible to the public. In time, these forms will be accessible only to the internal community through MySuffolk. Some students were asked to test the MySuffolk portal before it launched, and adjustments were made. However, Schneider said further tweaks and adjustments to the portal will be made as feedback comes in via the short survey that appears on user dashboards after log-in.  Creating the Dream: Carmen Veloria President David J.

(Photo by John Gillooly) Makeovers on the Menu at Campus Cafes Campus dining facilities were upgraded over the winter break through a contribution of more than $1 million by Sodexo. Renovations have been completed to the dining facilities at the 150 Tremont St. Residence Hall, the Donahue Building and the Sawyer Building, and a kiosk was added to the first floor of Miller Hall, offering an early-morning grab-and-go coffee option and a late-night venue for snacking and studying. “Our team did an extraordinary amount of work in just a short time to renovate three campus cafes, and these improvements will help Sodexo to prepare and sell a broader spectrum of food to students, faculty and staff,” said Gordon King, senior director of the Facilities Planning & Management Office, which worked with general contractor Turner Construction and architects Bergmeyer Associates on the renovation projects.  The renovation at 150 Tremont Street was the most dramatic, as the serving area was completely redone, with new flooring, Corian countertops and various food stations, including one for international fare. The Donahue Café has a new salad bar area, soup and sushi stations, and a renovated check-out space. The Sawyer Café was re-visioned to be more of an espresso café. “The entire renovation project went very smoothly,” said Sodexo’s director of Dining Services Jason Laprade. “These renovations bring a whole new level of dining to Suffolk students due to the added options and ease of service.”  �2 SUN Faculty Publications Melanie Berkmen, Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Happy for some, but… If you’re not a winter enthusiast, by this time, you must be counting the days until the frost thaws and spring begins to bud. Now that winter is in full force, how do we make it through the next few months without letting the short days and frigid temperatures get us down? More than 500,000 people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression triggered by the change in seasons. Individuals with SAD may experience a change in appetite, fatigue, irritability or avoidance of social interactions. Many of us experience milder versions of this, but if you feel like you just can’t pull yourself together, you may want to talk with your health care provider. Here are some suggestions that may help lift your mood and carry you through the rest of the winter: • Exercise – This is important year-round, but often people cut back on physical activity when it’s cold out. Why not try and embrace the season by taking up a winter sport? Rent some skates at the Frog Pond here in Boston, or try cross-country skiing. After all, exercise is not only great for maintaining weight and staying healthy, it’s also a great stress reliever and energy builder. • Eat good-mood food – Sugary foods can lead to severe highs and lows in your blood-sugar levels, which can leave you feeling cranky and tired. Instead, opt for high-quality carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits, lentils), soluble fibers (brown rice, sweet potatoes, beans), and smart proteins (poultry, fish, low-fat yogurt) to combat mood swings. • Hydrate – When the temperature drops, we don’t always feel the need to drink as much water as we do in the warmer months. However, we still need to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep our energy levels high and our bodies healthy. • Get some sun – Even 10 minutes of sun exposure a day can make a difference in the way you feel. If it’s unbearably cold out, try keeping your window shades up to let the light in…every little bit helps. You can always find comfort in knowing that springtime is just around the corner. Happy winter!  Holiday Cheer Carolina Garcia, program director of Service Learning, and husband Santiago Comella sit with sons Santiago and David Comella as they visit with Santa Claus at the annual holiday party.

O’Neill, Jr. “The ability to embrace change is essential to success in any profession. Organizations and people today must be aware of external influences affecting their business and react to these changes or be left behind. “They must also be open to new ways of thinking and new approaches to product development and services. Through our curriculum and various events, such as the New Product Innovation Competition, we are teaching our students to be innovative and to embrace change so that they will have successful professional careers.” Innovation is one component of LINKS (Leadership, Innovation, Networking, Knowledge and Service), a balanced and challenging educational model created by O’Neill. The LINKS components are incorporated into faculty teaching. “We’re trying to instill innovation across many of the core courses throughout our curriculum,” said Professor Laurie Levesque, assistant dean and academic director of undergraduate programs. “We want to give students the tools, knowledge and practice to think creatively and critically. We also want to make sure our graduating seniors are capable of being successful leaders and problem solvers once they enter the workplace.” Levesque, Executive in Residence Sushil Bhatia and Professors Robert DeFillippi, Ken Hung and George Moker comprise the Dean William O’Neill enjoys a Candy.com lollipop, presented by successful alumni entrepreneurs. (Photo by John Gillooly) school’s innovation and integration team. They meet every month to discuss new ways to promote innovation to the business leaders of tomorrow—inspiring them through a particular course, listening to a featured speaker or participating in a competitive event. “We look for different opportunities among multiple disciplines at Suffolk,” said Moker, director of Entrepreneurship Programs. “Innovation is critical for all of our students, particularly our graduating seniors, because it creates new opportunities that lead to economic recovery and expansion. If you unleash creativity, the sky is the limit, and that’s the foundation of our program.” Last month, two of Moker’s star pupils, Greg Balestrieri, 23, and Joe Melville, 31, visited campus to tell the fascinating story of how they launched a $3 million business in July 2009—only months after graduating from Suffolk University. The young entrepreneurs shared the secrets behind the recent launch of their successful online store, Candy.com.

For Craig Christensen, the camaraderie of rowing crew on the Charles River is incentive enough, but the opportunity to take part in the world’s largest two-day rowing event, the Head of the Charles Regatta, makes his training regimen particularly satisfying. Like Christensen, Jessica Krywosa says she enjoys the rhythm of teamwork inherent in crew, where four or eight rowers, guided by a coxswain, synchronize to row as one. “I also enjoy the quiet mornings on the river before the world wakes up, said Krywosa, of University Communications. “Watching the sunrise with great friends while getting in a pretty hard workout has been very satisfying.” Christensen, an associate professor in the College’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, began rowing in high school and continued while a student at MIT. After a long layoff, a friend who is an Olympian encouraged him to get back in the swing of rowing. He has been rowing at Community Rowing, Inc., or CRI, in Brighton for two seasons. He competed in eight-man, four-man and pairs competitions in August at the U.S. Masters Nationals in New Jersey, taking Craig Christensen, third from the bow, rows with his CRI teammates in the Head of the Charles Regatta. home a bronze medal. His crew of eight also took first place in the New Hampshire Master’s Championship in October. He rowed in the Senior Masters Eight category at the Head of the Charles in October, placing 11th for the second year running “Our objective was to be in the top 10 this year,” said Christensen. “But we did take 28 seconds off our time” in a field that included many more international teams. “We were very pleased that we made a dramatic improvement.” Krywosa rowed for Northeastern while in college and is delighted she’s had the chance to train and race again as a member of Gentle Giant Rowing Club on the Mystic River in Malden. Like Christensen, this was her second season as a club rower and her second straight Head of the Charles. The Head of the Charles draws more than 7,500 rowers from around the world. Hundreds of thousands of spectators line the Charles River along a course that begins downriver from the BU Bridge and ends three miles upstream. This regatta comes near the end of a rowing calendar that begins in spring with training for sprint races, during which boats race side-by-side over relatively short distances to the finish line. The head races of the fall are essentially time trials over longer courses of about 5,000 meters. But the training season doesn’t end when the local rivers freeze over. Rowers work on ergometers—rowing machines—and do strength training all winter long. For Krywosa, the fall season was particularly rigorous, because, in addition to training four mornings a week and racing once every weekend, she was running monthly road races in preparation for her first half marathon. Add to that her pursuit of the martial art Krav Maga, and she was working out six days a week, sometimes twice a day.  Holiday Enjoyment…or not? Now that we are in the midst of the holiday season, you may be TO YOUR H E A L T H filled with excitement about seeing family, celebrating with friends and reliving old traditions. On the other hand, you may be feeling stress about hosting family gatherings, anxiety about spending too much money and exhaustion from trying to take everything on yourself. If you are like a lot of us, you are feeling all of the above! You can find relief from holiday stress if you commit to making this year different. Here are some ways to do that: • Identify what stresses you out most so you can be empowered to make a change. It could be something simple like getting your holiday cards out early or choosing not to send them at all. • Learn how to say “no” to anything that is more of a hassle for you than a pleasure. This will allow you to enjoy the things you choose to do because you won’t be stretched so thin. • Try to hang on to the healthy habits you’ve worked so hard to develop throughout the rest of the year. Overindulgence can lead you to feel emotionally and physically unhappy. Maintain your physical activity and try your best to get lots of sleep. 6 SUN SUN • Reach out to others if you need it. If you’re feeling lonely over the absence of a loved one, see if you can become involved in a community-based event or even volunteer your time to help others in need. Finding a connection with others can help if you’re having difficulty coping with the season. • Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, exercise or listening to your favorite music. This can help reduce tension throughout your body and decrease anxiety and frustration. Maybe you’ll even get a boost of confidence and energy to attack some of the issues that are causing the stress. • If you feel as though your feelings of stress, anger or loneliness are persistent or worsening, seeking help from your medical or mental health care provider could be the answer. Here’s an idea: Why not promise to continue to use these strategies throughout the year? The ultimate gift you can give yourself is the ability to take control of aspects of your life that may feel out of your control. Most importantly try to focus on the parts of the season that make you happy and allow you to feel a sense of peace. See you next year!  �NESAD to Add Illustration Major The New England School of Art & Design will add a BFA in Illustration to its program offerings, with students studying everything from the graphic novel to illustration in 3-D. The National Association of Schools of Art and Design has given plan approval to the program, which sets the stage for NESAD to begin enrolling students. Plan approval—based on the proposed curriculum, financial support, faculty and facilities—is the first step in the accreditation process, which can be concluded only after sufficient students have completed the program. “One of the neat things about the program is that it’s going to cover so many areas of illustration,” said Sara Chadwick, NESAD director of administrative services. Areas of study that students will be exposed to, in addition to traditional illustration, include illustration for the Web, children’s book illustration, animation, mural design, the graphic novel, illustration in 3-D and a professional practice course that will help them determine how to put their knowledge to work, according to Chadwick. NESAD hopes to begin enrolling students in the new program in 2011.  Exhibit Celebrates Historic Preservation In honor of Historic New England’s centennial, the Adams Gallery presents The Preservation Movement Then and Now from Dec. 14, 2009, through March 15, 2010. The exhibition, organized by Historic New England, traces the history of the preservation movement in New England. The catalyst: an unsuccessful effort in 1863 to save the Hancock House, which was built in 1737 on Beacon Hill. It later was home to patriot John Hancock, he of the famous signature. Historic New England was founded to protect early buildings such as the Hancock House from being lost to development or neglect. In addition to panels describing the relationship of the Hancock House to the preservation movement, the exhibit employs photographs, artifacts, and online access to Historic New England collections to illustrate the organization’s continuing efforts to make the region’s heritage available and enjoyable to all. Resa Blatman Paintings Recent paintings by Resa Blatman will be at the Suffolk Art Gallery Dec. 4, 2009, through Jan. 17, 2010.

The exhibit was curated by James Hull.  EMBA Program among World’s Best Business School Continued from page 1 The Sawyer Business School’s Executive MBA program has been listed in the Financial Times 2009 EMBA rankings as one of the top 95 EMBA programs worldwide. It is the only ranked EMBA program in the region. “Making the Financial Times list is a well-deserved recognition for the students, faculty, administrators and alumni of the oldest Executive MBA program in New England,” said Professor Michael Barretti, director of the Institute of Executive Education, academic director of the Executive MBA program and an EMBA alumnus. “Everybody has worked very hard to get the program to this level of distinction.” The Financial Times, an international business newspaper based in London, uses extensive alumni surveys in preparing its rankings. This year’s list was based on interviews with the Class of 2006, evaluating how completion of the Executive MBA program impacted graduates’ career progress, salary growth, and realization of personal and professional goals.  as well as alumni, was founded by Bhatia, a globally known innovator, entrepreneur, inventor and author, who holds several patents. These activities and events help make “innovation” a major buzzword at the Business School. “The most impressive thing is that by bringing together faculty from various departments, we are continually improving the business school,” said Levesque. “Innovation has become really pervasive in the entire curriculum. Now our goal is to elevate its status to a higher level.”  December 20 09 7 �University on Stage Tru Grace: Holiday Memoirs, Wesley Savick’s adaptation of a pair of short stories for the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, brings together several members of the University’s extended family.

Recent changes to the University’s Internet home page demonstrate the new communication focus, with links to Facebook, YouTube and other social media displayed prominently. “The University has to have a social media presence,” said Professor Gloria Boone of Communication and Journalism, who teaches New Media and New Markets. “Any number of studies show that one of the most important contact points is through Web sites and social media.” A recent search shows more than 100 Suffolk University-related pages on Facebook alone, from special-interest student groups such as the Suffolk Step Team, to the Best Buddies community service group. The University also has a presence on Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn and other sites, although some pages have become inactive over time.

Bill; it means a lot to me,” said O’Neill. “Suffolk has a history of supporting veterans, and that goes right to the core of what we’re all about.” Suffolk has recently joined the Yellow Ribbon G.I. Education Enhancement Program and will offer veterans enrolling in the University up to $20,000 in grant money annually while they pursue a degree. “Once we learned about this, we felt it was the perfect fit for veterans interested in attending Suffolk,” said O’Neill. “It was a classic win-win situation.” Through the expanded G.

The article presents a number of possible explanations for the observed optical transient, with the authors saying that it is a possible orphan gamma ray burst, or GRB. Gamma ray bursts are brief astrophysical events, but the afterglow may last for extended periods of time. Some GRBs coincide with the collapse of a star.

Along came MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and, for the older, professional crowd, LinkedIn. MySpace is now in decline, while Facebook doubled its users from this past January to September, when it had 300 million active members. The fastestgrowing Facebook demographic is users age 35 and older, according to Boone’s research, and more women than men are getting on board. Meanwhile, the value of Twitter is yet to be determined, but a Harvard Business School study published in June showed that most users sent an average of one tweet in a lifetime.

Its purpose is to offer information to anyone interested in learning more about the University. “The University page is the gateway to all the other official pages,” said Jessica Krywosa of University Communications, who administers the Facebook page and oversees social media activities for the University. Krywosa welcomes University participation in the social media sites. Posts about campus happenings are appreciated, and Krywosa invites members of the University community to submit photos and videos. She also is pro-active, with work-study students out and about on campus tweeting and collecting information and images for the Facebook site. Boone said that incorporating video and podcasts broadens the University’s potential audience. “Even people outside the University who aren’t looking for news and events might look at videos or podcasts,” she said.

How­ ver, Cindy e and Frank Irizarry, assistant professors in the Com­ un­cation m i and Journalism Department, find their special bond to be more of a dream come true. The Irizarrys not only teach in the same department, they teach the same courses: Introduction to Public Relations, Advanced Public Relations and Communication Theory. Some semesters they also teach a Public Relations graduate course. So inquiring minds want to know: Does Frank carry his wife’s book bag to and from class each day? “No, it doesn’t work out that way,” laughed Cindy. “We’re here on alternating days; I teach on Monday and Wednesday, and he teaches on Tuesday and Thursday. We may teach the same courses, but our schedules are different.” “We build off each other,” said Cindy. “It’s nice to sit with someone and hear or talk about what the core ideas should be when putting a course together.” “I look at what we have as a positive thing,” said Frank. “It’s great to bounce ideas off someone right at home. “It is a benefit for us to come from different schools with different course work, professors, and pedagogical approaches and be able to discuss things related to our research and our teaching that most faculty never have the opportunity to do with their spouses.” While they may not agree all the time, the Irizarrys have similar teaching styles. Their interactive classrooms employ the latest technology, and they maintain a good rapport with their students. “As opposed to talking at them, we talk with them,” noted Cindy. The Irizarrys first met in August 1995 while teaching in the Communications Department at Syracuse University. They were engaged five months later and married in June 1996. This is their second year at Suffolk. “The transition to Suffolk has been smooth,” said Frank. “The people here have been absolutely wonderful, supportive and the embodiment of professional.” “We are very fortunate to have brought both Cindy and Frank to campus to share their expertise in public relations with our students,” said Communication & Journalism Department Chair Bob Rosenthal. “They have a strong academic background, coupled with significant professional Cindy and Frank Irizarry. (Photo by John Gillooly) experience in the field. Their combination of theory and practice in the classroom provides our students with an outstanding educational experience, preparing them for careers in public relations and also for advanced graduate study.” The Irizarrys, who live in Wilmington, are the parents of two sons – John, 12, and Frankie, 8. On the weekends, Frank coaches his boys in youth football and lacrosse, while Cindy cheers from the stands. “Frank does things he enjoys, and I do things I enjoy,” said Cindy Irizarry. “But we try and do things together as much as possible.”  Lois E.

Some experts say plaque buildup may contribute to swelling of the arteries. Others suggest bacteria in our mouths may affect our heart by entering the bloodstream. Whatever the cause may be, good oral health is not only good for your smile, but it may prevent coronary heart disease. Oral Health Tips Be consistent with your oral health routine. Make sure to floss and brush at least twice a day and, ideally, after every meal. Brushing is important, but without flossing, bacteria can build up in between your teeth and on your gum line. n Fluoride is not just important for kids; it also helps prevent decay in adult teeth. Fluoride can be found in some mouthwashes and toothpastes. n Limit sugary snacks and eat a balanced diet. Excessive sugar can break down your tooth enamel which can lead to cavities. If you can’t brush, floss or chew sugarless gum. n If you smoke, quit. n Most important, make sure to visit your dentist regularly. While you’re fine-tuning your oral hygiene skills, make sure to pass these tips on to the children in your life. You can play an important role in helping your kids’ smiles stay healthy too! This becomes especially important during the Halloween season, when all of us are indulging in sweet, chewy, gooey treats. Why don’t you try mixing it up a little this year? For instance, if you’re a candy corn lover, try mixing a small amount of the candy into your favorite trail mix. Your teeth and body will thank you for the added nutrition. n n Healthy Monday Giveaway! Human Resources will be giving out free toothbrushes around campus on Oct. 19 to help keep your smile bright.

The media employed span the spectrum from actual trash to 24K gold. The visual and cultural associations are many. Renovated, reclaimed or recycled materials are incorporated into compositions that reveal the aesthetic strategies as well as the artistic problem solving that these artists leave visible. The decision to use elements from our contemporary environment instead of fine art materials lends a directness and an innovative quality to all of the works.  The Construction exhibit is curated by James Hull of the New England School of Art & Design.

Program Continued from page 1 wars at a rate equal to the tuition at public institutions within the state where the student is enrolled. In Massachusetts, that amount is less than $6,000. Private institutions typically cost more than state colleges and universities, and Suffolk University has made a commitment to fund costs in excess of the minimum for all accepted veterans studying in its Sawyer Business School, College of Arts and Sciences, and Law School. Marketing professor Michael Barretti, Director of Executive Education and LifeLong Learning, leads the Yellow Ribbon marketing communications group. Barretti, who served as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps for 20 years and is a decorated Vietnam veteran, received his Executive MBA from Suffolk through an earlier version of the G.I. Bill. “The G.I. Bill and Suffolk changed my life,” said Barretti. “Today’s veterans will Michael Barretti with student Christopher Sweatman, a former Logistics Officer in the U.S. Navy who was the first veteran to enter the EMBA Program under the new Post-9/11 G.I. Bill. (Photo by John Gillooly) see that Suffolk has stepped up to the plate with this expanded G.I. Bill and that having this opportunity to receive a high-quality education will have real meaning for them.” “We did this as a community-wide team effort,” said O’Neill. “It was extraordinary how everyone from various departments in the University came together to make this all happen.” “I have never been more proud of this University as we continue to create a veteranfriendly environment,” said Barretti.  $1 Million Grant Extends History Collaboration $410K Award Supports Research & Teaching The U.S. Department of Education has awarded $1 million for the extension and enhancement of the Teaching American History grant-funded program conducted by the University’s History Department and the Tri-City Technology Education Collaborative. “In the past three years we as history faculty have learned a great deal about our partners in elementary, middle and high schools and have been energized by their ideas and commitment to getting kids excited about history,” said History Department Chair Bob Allison. The original program’s goals were to deepen K-12 teachers’ knowledge of American history and to foster innovative teaching, particularly for students who are multilingual and unfamiliar with American civic culture. Professor Patricia Reeve and TRITEC Executive Director Cindy Fiducia partnered to conceive Phase Two -- Becoming America: The Defining Role of Immigration -- and to write the grant. Allison lent his expertise to program refinement, and the project will tap the expertise of many members of the History Department, including Kerri Greenidge, an adjunct who will coordinate program delivery.  Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Honggang Zhang has been awarded a five-year, $410,000 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation. Zhang will conduct research into unstructured dynamic overlay networks, a type of computer network formed from interactions among constantly changing strategic users. Applications include file sharing, user-assisted media streaming, video-on-demand, and voice-over-IP, e.g., Skype. The research project will endeavor to develop effective mechanisms to ensure the stability and efficiency of unstructured networks and to provide seamless interoperation with Internet architecture and service providers. Grant funds also will support Computer Science graduate students assisting with the research.

(Photos by John Gillooly) New VP for Advancement Leads By Example Christopher Mosher has been in the philanthropic business long enough to know what it takes to be successful. “In any workplace, I feel it’s very important to have balance,” said the newly appointed vice president for Advancement. “You have to work hard and have fun. And, like anything else, you have to be passionate about what you do. You need people who want to be here and who are high performers.” Mosher, a 1976 graduate of the Law School, has worked for two decades leading philanthropic and advancement programs at Boston-area institutions. He has served as director of development at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he helped plan and execute that institution’s largest and most ambitious capital campaign. He also has directed fundraising efforts at Northeastern University, from which he graduated in 1970, and has held a number of leadership positions in both institutional advancement and public affairs. Most recently, Mosher was vice president of development at Mount Ida College in Newton. “Chris is an outstanding fundraiser and communicator who combines extensive experience at major Boston-area non-profit and educational institutions with a deep connection to Suffolk University,” said President David J. Sargent. “As a graduate of the Law School, he brings a strong commitment to Suffolk’s mission of access and opportunity and to fostering the growth of the University.” Mosher comes to Suffolk during a period of sustained growth at the University. Suffolk’s fourth residence hall is under construction, and plans for a new academic building are on the drawing board. “The opportunity to play a leadership role in Suffolk University’s Advancement program is the opportunity of a lifetime for me,” said Continued on page 3 �Library Gives Kindle a Test Drive Summer reading presented an opportunity to try some new technology this year for patrons of the Mildred Sawyer Library, which offered a chance to check out the Amazon Kindle e-reader. The library has acquired six second-generation Kindles, all tied to one account, according to Circulation Manager Drew Meger. The Kindles have proven popular since the library publicized their availability on its Web site, with people of all ages and from across the University expressing interest in trying the technology. “Kindle made for great crowded-train reading,” said Amber Kopp, who completed an MS in Political Science over the summer.  “With page-turning keys on both sides of the device, it was easy to use one-handed.  Also, with the option to change the text size, I was able to leave my reading glasses at home,” she said. “Best of all, it was a conversation starter: People on the train with me, at the airport, even at Starbucks, approached me to ask me how I liked my Kindle.” The Kindles are available for a 28-day loan. Borrowers may download a book of their choice, and several additional books are available on each device. “I’ve seen people check it out for the weekend,” said Meger. “They only want one book, but then they keep it longer to read other available books.” There has been an interest on the part of academic libraries to test the utility of electronic readers, according to Meger. They may prove useful in supplementing reserve collections and supporting courses. “The cost of textbooks is so high,” he said. “If there is a market for electronic textbooks, maybe more would be made available.” Financial accounting textbooks, for example, can easily cost more than $100. If the library purchases one volume, the demand from students outstrips the supply. However, it may one day be possible to purchase an electronic version of a textbook to be shared among a group of Kindles, making more copies available to students. The library will be testing the newer Kindle DX soon, but as of early August, there was a six-week waiting list for the K2. Kindles are available by appointment. Contact Meger at ameger@suffolk.edu, for information.  The Modern Theatre & the Boston-Hollywood Connection The Modern Theatre has played a key role, not only in Boston’s historic Washington Street theater district, but also as an institution that helped establish a little-known link between Massachusetts and Hollywood. The Adams Gallery presents an exhibit of old and new photographs, artifacts, video and movie posters that tell the story of The Modern Theatre & the Boston-Hollywood Connection. The exhibit, to run through Nov. 30, follows the rise of the Modern Theatre— from the ashes of the Great Boston Fire through its heyday as the first Boston movie theater to show “talkies.” The Modern Theatre describes personalities and business innovations that reverberated all the way to Hollywood. Present-day photos document the University’s restoration of the theater’s historic facade. And video clips from films shot in Boston show that the Hollywood connection endures today. Cara Phillips: Singular Beauty The Suffolk University Gallery features the works of artist Cara Phillips in the exhibit Singular Beauty, curated by James Hull. The exhibit will run through Oct. 10 at the gallery at the New England School of Art & Design, 75 Arlington St.  T h e S UN is publ ish ed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu Executive Editor Greg Gatlin 2 SUN Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark (From the collection of John Toto) Surveyors at Modern Theatre site (Photo by Renee DeKona) �Founder’s Voice Heard Once More Gleason Archer’s voice rings out once again in the Law School—through digitized recordings in the University Archives. Derrick Hart has been working on the Archer collection since he joined the Archives and was intrigued by a recording of a radio address about the Mayflower descendants featuring the University’s founder. The problem: It was preserved on a metal record, an obsolete technology. Hart rose to the challenge and discovered a firm that could retrieve the audio and digitize it. In turn, Steve Smolian, who unlocked the recording, was delighted to engage in the project. As a radio history buff, he knew of Gleason Archer and was familiar with his two books about radio. “It was wonderful that we were able to find a vendor, because the assets were so fragile,” said Hart. “Now we have two recordings of his voice available.” Archivists also have digitized a 1961 oral history in which Archer, then 81, discusses the founding of the University and his involvement in radio. Archer was in high demand as a radio personality, and his many onair appearances include a series on “The Laws that Safeguard Society.” He had a keen interest in history, and, as a Mayflower descendant, Archer focused some of his research on these pioneers and their legacy. The preserved recording was broadcast on Thanksgiving Day 1935 and features Archer and several other leaders of Mayflower Chapters across the country. This is the only recording of an Archer radio appearance held by the Archives. The radio and oral history recordings are available only at the Archives. Archivists are investigating the possibility of obtaining the rights to make them available online.  Gleason Archer delivers one of his many radio talks. (Suffolk University Archives photo) New VP for Advancement Continued from page 1 Mosher. “The legal education I received here has made all the difference in my professional life.” Looking back, Mosher is proud to have earned his law degree by attending evening classes after working a full-time job during the day. “I’m a good example of the person who is embraced by this institution,” he said. “I believe in the mission of Suffolk University. I believe in the idea of providing access Christopher Mosher to high-quality education to those who otherwise might not have the ability to afford it.” Mosher is presently working on moving forward “The Power to Change” campaign while interacting with President Sargent and Provost Barry Brown to enhance participation and the philanthropic agenda. “As Suffolk continues to grow and mature, philanthropic support becomes more important than ever,” he said. Mosher stresses the importance of teamwork and old-school values, such as respect, trust, loyalty and diligence. “I lead by example,” he explained. “My management style is participatory decision making. I’m not a micro-manager.” Mosher lives in Natick and is the father of two children— Matthew and Margo. During his free time, he enjoys being with family and friends, playing golf, riding his motorcycle and flying airplanes. He has been a private pilot since 1982. Facing what he describes as “an economy that is impacting everybody and everywhere,” Mosher remains confident that he and his staff will overcome any challenges and succeed in what they do best. He turns to his favorite Winston Churchill quote for inspiration. “We make a living by what we earn. We make a life by what we give.”  September 20 09 3 �Potpourri Patrol Officers Darren Bedgood and Angely DeLiza graduated from the 16-week Massachusetts Special State Police Academy.

The event will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 16, in the Law School function room.  New Tool for Coordinating Events Staff from across campus have been testing a calendar for sharing information while planning campus events. The centralized event-planning calendar is meant to help disparate offices coordinate similar programming and prevent conflicts. Those participating in the pilot enter events into a Campus Cruiser calendar during the planning stage. The calendar is accessible to staff throughout the University who are engaged in coordinating events. Planners may review the calendar to seek compatible programming and to ensure that events drawing similar audiences are not scheduled for the same time. In a survey of administrators, faculty and staff conducted last fall, 54 percent of respondents said they felt it was important to have access to an all-campus calendar to be used for event planning. Many reported conflicts among campus events, with 27 percent saying that they often saw one scheduled event conflicting with another and 65 percent saying they sometimes experienced such conflicts. “The small planning group came together in response to recommendations that a centralized calendar was needed to help coordinate events,” said Mariellen Norris of Public Affairs, who chaired the effort. “The planning group worked closely with IT to create the calendar, which proved successful during its test phase. Now we are inviting people across campus to start using the calendar to enter events for the upcoming academic year.” For more information on how to get involved with the Centralized Calendar Planning Committee, contact the Office of Public Affairs.  September 20 09 5 �Mailroom’s Eight of a Kind Editor’s Note: The Office of Public Affairs offered a SUN profile piece and photo to the Spring Fling raffle.

He has been working Boston History Reaches Worldwide Audience Professor Robert Allison, whose area of interest is American history, has offered his knowledge and insight to a new audience— the people of North Korea. On July 4, Allison’s commentary was heard in North Korea through Voice of America radio, which broadcasts news, information, and educational and cultural programming to a worldwide audience of about 134 million people. Voice of America reporter Hyun Suk Kim, on assignment in Boston to explore the city’s historical significance, interviewed Allison at the Old State House, gathering information to put together a virtual tour via radio. “We talked about the importance of Boston in the Revolution, the Boston Tea Party and the importance of independence,” said Allison, chair of the University’s History Department. Kim wanted to know why the Revolution began in Boston. “I told her because of the unique system in Boston where people have control of their own government and a voice in what their government does” said Allison. “I also told her that people are the 6 SUN ultimate source of authority and that government serves the people, not the other way around.” Away from the classroom, Allison has been involved with the recent opening of the new Commonwealth Museum in Dorchester, working with curators and educational staff to formulate ideas for an exhibit telling the story of Massachusetts from the Colonial Period to the present and writing text for the galleries on the Revolution and on the Massachusetts Constitution. Said Allison: “One of our priorities was to display the great documents of our history—the Massachusetts Bay Charter of 1629, which created the Massachusetts Bay Company; the Charter of 1691; the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780, drafted by John Adams, the oldest functioning written constitution still in use in the world; one of the original copies of the Bill of Rights; a 1777 printing of the Declaration of Independence; and Paul Revere’s engraving of the Boston Massacre. “More importantly, we wanted to tell the stories behind these great documents—what made the people of Massachusetts demand the power to govern themselves.”  �To Your Health: Campus Campaign Focuses on Wellness Following on the heels of last year’s successful Wellness Challenge, Human Resources and the Office of Health and Wellness Services have joined forces to offer information and incentives for employees to seek a healthy life balance. The effort is based on the traditional model of wellness, which incorporates social, intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional and environmental wellness. The health and wellness awareness campaign will kick off Monday, Sept. 14, with a brown-bag lunch and presentation by a Warmlines nutritionist. Each week of the fall semester will begin with “Healthy Monday” activities. HR will help employees start the week on a healthy path by offering nutritious snacks and other incentives. Sodexo also will join in the effort by highlighting healthy food choices in its cafés. Healthy Monday is a national public health campaign that encourages people and organizations to use Monday as a day to encourage behaviors that will increase health awareness and actions that will end preventable disease.

(Photo by John Gillooly) From Volleyball Player to Head Coach In just a short time, Heather Cox has moved up the ladder in the University’s women’s volleyball program. A former standout player and then assistant coach the past two seasons, Cox is taking the next step in her career path as the newly named head coach of the Rams’ volleyball squad. “This is like a dream come true,” said Cox. “I’ve worked really hard to get here, and I’m very excited to have this opportunity to prove myself as a Heather Cox coach and a leader.” Cox earned her Suffolk degree in 2007 and works at a Boston law firm as a paralegal. A four-year starter for the Rams, she was named a team captain her senior year and voted to the GNAC (Great Northeast Athletic Conference) All-Star squad in 2007. In 2006, as a junior, she set the In Memoriam Attorney James Linnehan, life trustee of Suffolk University and an alumnus of the Law School 8 SUN conference record for assists.

The Suffolk volleyball team finished last season with a record of 6–23 (3–9 in GNAC play). “We have about six returning players and a number of new recruits coming in,” said Cox. “I’m looking to build a team based on conditioning, hard work, dedication and unity. Everyone has to work together for us to be successful.” Suffolk Athletic Director Jim Nelson is confident that Cox can steer the Rams’ volleyball team in the right direction. “Heather has been truly dedicated to this,” said Nelson. “She brings an energy, commitment and dedication that will serve this program well as it competes in the GNAC and post-season championship play.” In another coaching change at Suffolk, Steve Counihan will return as head coach of the women’s and men’s tennis teams. Counihan previously served as head tennis coach from 2004–2008.

When they were little they would ask me how many years would they be in school. I always said: ‘A minimum of 16 years.’ They knew that high school was not the end of their educational journey.

The University has engaged Huron Consulting Group, Inc., a national consulting firm, to assist with reviewing its current records management procedures and developing a compliance plan, according to Suzanne Gallagher of the Provost’s Office. “It’s a large undertaking to examine records across campus,” said Gallagher. “As part of the process we decided to look at all records so that we could develop standard practices that will make it easier to meet the data security regulations and to manage records in the future.” The first step in the review process entailed completing questionnaires about what types of records are maintained, how they are Continued on page 2 �Moakley Foundation Award for Service William M.

The rankings included nearly 200 law schools across the nation. The Law School was cited for the following: • 13th best alternate dispute resolution program • 13th best part-time/evening program • 17th best legal writing program • 20th best clinical program. “I know I speak for the entire Suffolk Law community when I extend our congratulations to everyone who participates in our alternate dispute resolution, clinical, and legal writing programs,” said Dean Alfred Aman. “Each program does superb work, and this kind of national recognition is well deserved. It’s very gratifying to see the hard work of our students and faculty honored in this manner.”  T h e S UN is publish ed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu Executive Editor Greg Gatlin 2 SUN Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark Illustration Major to Be Added in 2011 The New England School of Art & Design has won approval to add an Illustration major to its menu of programs. The major has been approved by the College’s Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, Educational Policy Committee and Faculty Assembly and by the Board of Trustees. It will undergo review by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, or NASAD this fall, according to Sara Chadwick, director of Administrative Services for the New England School of Art & Design.

Business and academic units across campus were asked to submit the questionnaires by June 8. “Everyone has a different records-keeping system, and we aren’t judging these procedures,” said Gallagher. “The questionnaire is only meant to gather information.” Questionnaire answers and follow-up interviews will be used to develop policies about data security and retention. Huron will develop a records retention schedule for the University. Not only is it important to maintain certain records for mandated time periods, it also is necessary to destroy certain records after a set period of time, according to Gallagher. Once the standards are in place, training will be offered as needed. “We don’t want to change offices’ procedures, except when necessary,” said Gallagher. �Faculty and Student Art Shows on Campus Springboard, a juried exhibition from the New England School of Art & Design, features the work of three spring 2009 graduates: The exhibit is at the Adams Gallery through August 2, 2009.

Through NECN’s “Sidebar” segment, the Suffolk Law professors examine significant local, national and international stories. “Sidebar” debuted March 23 with the segment “Is the AIG bonus tax constitutional?” In discussing AIG and the congressional move to tax bonuses paid to executives of the insurance firm that had been saved by a generous federal bailout, Law Professor Carter Bishop told NECN’s Chet Curtis that “it is possible, but marginal whether those (tax levies) are constitutional.” Bishop also pointed out that AIG had no option when it came to paying the much-maligned bonuses. Failure to pay would have been construed as a breach of contract under Connecticut law, and AIG would likely have lost any suit resulting from a refusal to pay the bonuses, according to Bishop. In other “Sidebar” segments, Professor Chris Dearborn analyzed the Massachusetts marijuana law, and Professor Anthony Polito discussed charges filed against funds that fed into Bernard Madoff ’s Ponzi operation. “We are very excited about the opportunity to showcase our faculty and share our collective legal expertise,” said Associate Dean and Professor of Law Linda Simard. “We hope that ‘Sidebar’ will help bring attention and increased awareness to some of the important legal issues of our day.” “Sidebar” airs at 4:15 p.m. Mondays during NECN’s “News Day Live” broadcast.

Long is the co-founder of New Exhibition Room, which engages local artists as it builds new work and re-imagines traditional theatricality. New Exhibition Room will explore the role of censorship in a free society when it premieres its first full-length production, Shh! The ensemble is building the piece using Supreme Court cases, banned books, current events, mythology, Sesame Street and other sources of inspiration. “Shh! will serve up a physical and emotional exploration of all the things we can’t say or do,” said Long, who is co-artistic director of New Exhibition Room. “I don’t think ‘smart’ and ‘fun’ are mutually exclusive,” she added. “Censorship is timeless, whether you are talking about the Alien and Sedition Acts or the less formal manifestos of political correctness. I’m interested in exploring these issues through performance.” The creative process for Shh! is embedded in rehearsals, which began in late May. Nora Long An early entry on the group’s Facebook page answers the question: What’s it about? “The truth is, we don’t know yet. The play doesn’t exist—we are making it up in rehearsal.” However, the New Exhibition Room, or NXR, Facebook page offers a sampling of books, music, film and television that will influence the work. Long notes that the production may not be suitable for all ages and/or temperaments as it will likely contain nudity, violence, and adult language and content. New Exhibition Room will present Shh!

(Photo by John Gillooly)  Sotomayor Visit Intrigues Analysts Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor told Suffolk University Law School students that the law “is uncertain and responds to changing circumstances” in a 1996 lecture that was adapted for an article in the Suffolk University Law Review. The article, “Returning Majesty to the Law and Politics: A Modern Approach,” coauthored with Nicole A. Gordon, gives a glimpse of federal appeals judge Sotomayor’s judicial temperament. The article has been cited by the Wall Street Journal and Washington Times and in other media analysis of the Sotomayor nomination.  “What is correct is often difficult to discern when the law is attempting to balance competing interests and principles, such as the need to protect society from drugs as opposed to the need to enforce our constitutional right to be free from illegal searches and seizures,” the article says.  8 Umansky Working on Accreditation in New Academic Affairs Role Lauri Umansky has been appointed interim associate vice president for SUN Academic Affairs and is working closely with Vice President for Academic Affairs Janice C.

The film had its world premier in March at the South by Southwest Film Festival, or SXSW, in Austin, Texas. Peary, a professor of Communication and Journalism and author of seven books on cinema and innumerable articles, spent seven years working on the film. It was featured in SXSW’s prestigious Spotlight section alongside Spike Lee’s Passing Strange and Greg Mottola’s Superbad. “To finally see the finished product feels like a dream,” said Peary. “The biggest reward was seeing people laughing and applauding.” Peary directed and wrote For the Love of Movies, which was produced by his wife Amy Geller and narrated by actress Patricia Clarkson. Peary and Geller interviewed many of America’s best-known film critics, who speak intimately and humorously on film about how and why they became reviewers. They weigh in about the rich, 100-year history of American criticism and passionately discuss the sublime and unusual movies that thrilled them and helped form their aesthetic. “There is a severe crisis in film criticism right now,” said Peary, who, in addition to teaching, is a longtime film critic for the Boston Phoenix. “Reviewers everywhere are losing their jobs. Maybe this documentary can begin to turn things around.

(Photo by John Gillooly) ” Every Bookplate Tells a Story When her bookshelves began threatening to overwhelm her living space, Nina Allen turned from repairing and amassing distressed books to collecting bookplates. Bookplates are miniature works of art. Historically, they have been used for identifying ownership of a book. But contemporary bookmarks are more often traded among aficionados. Allen teaches American Literature in the English Department, and her personal bookplates demonstrate the importance of literature and storytelling in her life. As a collector, she has amassed about 1,000 bookplates. Some are assembled in a book; others are framed and hung as artwork in her home. “When you think of it, you can have these lovely works of art, and the investment is minimal,” said Allen, who has found some of her bookplates in her own book collection. Continued on page 3 �Colleagues gather with Mary Flaherty in the coffee shop in the Stahl Center as her stint on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” is aired. Flaherty kept mum about the outcome of the contest until it was revealed in the broadcast. (Photo by John Gillooly) Professor Enjoys “Millionaire” Bid Mary Flaherty felt more like a student than a professor, answering questions instead of asking them, when she recently appeared as a contestant on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” “It was a great and fun experience, but quite nerve-wracking sitting in that hot seat,” said Flaherty, director of the paralegal studies program in the College of Arts and Sciences. “The intensity became stronger with each question.” In the end, Flaherty was delighted to walk away with $16,000. The question that stumped her was: How many faces does an icosahedron have? “I called my brother (as one of four lifelines), and he was trying to Google it, but he couldn’t type fast enough,” said Flaherty. The correct answer: 20. Flaherty has always been a trivia buff. A graduate of the University of Chicago and Chicago Kent Law School, she remembers playing trivial pursuit with her fellow law students in the cafeteria. In 1998, she was a contestant on “Jeopardy,” finishing second to a five-time champion. “I have so much useless information in my brain, it’s not funny,” said Flaherty. In order to prepare for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” Flaherty took the National Geographic test every day and learned everything she could about “American Idol” contestants. “It was just a blast to be part of all this,” she said. It was an exciting time for me and my family. And Meredith Vieira (host of the show) was as warm a person off camera as she was on it. She even commented on my glasses,” which are fire-engine red. With her winnings, Flaherty plans to take her daughter, Winnie, 17, on a trip to Finland and buy her daughter, Gwendy, 10, a cat. She also would like to do something special for her fiancé, Edward Walsh, who encouraged Flaherty to go on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” in the first place. “He’s the main reason why I went on the show,” said Flaherty. “He was supportive of my doing this right from the beginning.” Flaherty had the opportunity to watch herself when the show aired, joined by colleagues and students in the café at 73 Tremont Street. Asked if she would have left her job if she had won the million-dollar prize, she responded without hesitation. “No way,” she said. “I consider myself very lucky to be paid to do something I love.”  Conference on Law, Culture and the Humanities The Law School hosted the Twelfth Annual Conference for the Association of the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities early this month. James Carroll, Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the College of Arts and T h e S UN is publish ed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu Executive Editor Greg Gatlin 2 SUN Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark Sciences, was the keynote speaker, and Law Professors Eric Blumenson and Jeffrey Lipshaw presented papers. The Association for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities is an organization of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary, humanistically oriented legal scholarship, and the conference drew more than 200 scholars from around the world. In his keynote address, Carroll reflected on primitive societies’ penchant for solving the problem of violence with more violence. He argued that “structures of international law are the only alternative to the worldending violence of new weapons.” Blumenson and Lipshaw presented papers on the panel “Responsibility and Causation.” Lipshaw’s paper, “Law’s Illusion: Scientific Jurisprudence and the Struggle with Judgment,” dealt with how “thinking like a lawyer” fits into making difficult decisions, with an emphasis on the business context. Blumenson’s paper, “The Case for Marijuana Law Reform,” argued against the criminalization of marijuana. Jessica Silbey, associate professor of Law, coordinated the conference.  �Every Bookplate Tells a Story Continued from page 1 “Certain bookplates cost a fortune, but I’ve never seen one on e-Bay for more than three hundred dollars. Sometimes you get lucky and find a bookplate worth one hundred dollars or more, and you can get it for five dollars.” Allen usually trades with other collectors, and there are bookplate societies all over the world. They sponsor exhibits, publications, journals and conventions. Boston was the site of an international convention in 2000, but, alas, that was before Allen had begun collecting bookplates. While mass-produced bookplates offer a space for a bibliophile to sign his or her name, the more interesting collectibles have a name imprinted on them, and the design usually reveals something about the owner. One of Allen’s finds— discovered in a $2 book with the cover torn off— is a bookplate depicting a sailing ship and imprinted with the name Samuel Eliot Morison. This Harvard nautical historian retraced Christopher Columbus’s voyages and won a Pulitzer Prize for his biography of Columbus. “I like to research the people who once owned the bookplate,” said Allen, who is particularly interested in bookplates designed by and for women. Her collection includes the bookplate of research scientist Florence Reba Sabin, which depicts a microscope with quote from Leonardo DaVinci. “The owners use quotes from someone they identify with or who is associated with their interests,” she said. A German bookplate created for two women academics in the early part of the 20th century tells an interesting story of achievement at a time when there were not many opportunities for women in academia. “They were deported to a concentration camp and never came back,” said Allen. “You’re holding not only a piece of art, but a piece of history, and I feel a connection to the owners. Something may have happened, but you still hold something of them in your hand.”  Nina Allen displays Samuel Elliot Morrison’s bookplate, one of many preserved in the book she holds. A Literary Life Translated Into Imagery “Personal bookplates are a collaboration between the artist and the client, said ” Nina Allen, who has worked with artists Andy English and Marina Terauds to create her own distinctive designs. For the black-and-white bookplate she uses to identify her personal volumes, Allen asked English to incorporate the words “All goes onward and outward” from Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself. ” The image on the wood-engraved bookplate depicts Whitman’s departure at the end of the poem, and Allen sent English some lines from the poem’s last stanza: I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. “Since these lines do not easily translate into a visual im- One Nights. The image is a copper engraving created by Terauds in shades of green. The panel on the left depicts Scheherazade envisioning the story that she is going to tell the sultan. The middle panel age, I asked the designer to substitute Whitman’s slouch hat, is a scene from her story “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. The ” left behind as a remembrance of the departed poet, said Allen. ” panel on the right depicts Scheherazade and the sultan after Allen trades her bookplate based on One Thousand and she has told him the story.

Several thousand pieces of marble, sandstone and brownstone are being removed and sent off site to a masonry restoration expert. The University is photographing and documenting the process, and information will be updated regularly at www.suffolk.edu/moderntheatre. “There are a lot of fascinating things about this project,” said Judith Worker separates stonework from building facade. Selwyn of Preservation Technology Associates, who is monitoring the masonry restoration process for the University. “This is essentially two buildings, the post-Civil-War-era upper section, which is in good condition, and the later Modern Theatre marble front, which is an entirely different type and style of building.” Selwyn said that, while the building’s structure had deteriorated to the point where nothing was salvageable, the facade was largely intact. Most of the damage to the marble facade was the result of alterations over the years, as marquees and signs were added to it. “Those of us involved in this reconstruction feel that it’s a really dramatic and interesting thing to do—to take down, restore and reassemble a facade,” said Selwyn. “And there will be theater again on Washington Street. Without the efforts of Suffolk University and Emerson College, what would that part of Washington Street be like?”  Potpourri 2009 Athletics Hall of Fame Inductees Spring Fling Thursday, May 21 4:45 – 8 p.m. Details to Come New Faces Please welcome our newest employees: Peter Cole, Information Technology Services Jeanie Fallon, Law Library Elaine Garofoli, Sawyer Business School Technology Management Continued from page 4 for Latin America” at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association in New York.

Higginson has been knocking on doors, shaking hands and attending events throughout the district. “It has been a lot of late nights and long weekends, but it’s worth it,” said Higginson. “People have questions, opinions and ideas, and they haven’t been approached for a long time. I like to keep people informed and engaged in what needs to be done for progress to be made.” He is delighted about all the positive reinforcement he has received from his colleagues, many of whom attended his first official fund-raising event at the Tremont 647 restaurant in the South End. “He’s got a lot of great ideas and an ability to approach a situation with an eye for innovation,” said Liz Berman, assistant director of Human Resources. “I think he’ll carry that spirit through to his political career; not allowing the status quo to drive his platform, but rather listening to the needs of his constituents.”  Suffolk In the News The University often is featured in local and national media.

The proposed building’s design includes: • A glass façade on the south side of the building designed to enliven an improved Roemer Plaza • A “quiet” façade on the opposite north side, designed to be respectful of the neighboring Garden of Peace memorial to homicide victims • State-of-the-art classrooms for students in the College of Arts and Sciences that will feature full media technology and energy-efficient lighting and heating • Art studios for instruction in painting, drawing, sculpture and printing, along with electronic classrooms for computer instruction in graphic design and interior design • Faculty offices • A public art gallery displaying student and professional work • Critique spaces The new building is being designed by the architectural firm of Chan Krieger Sieniewicz.   Garden of Peace board members and the University’s External Affairs team celebrate a successful collaboration on the 20 Somerset project. Vice President John Nucci is joined by Garden of Peace Vice Chair Mary Lou Schaalman, Elizabeth Leary, Michael Feeley, Garden Chair Evelyn Tobin, board member Beatrice Nessen and Greg Gatlin.

Those are the words that Janice Griffith lives by, and she credits her mother for her abiding commitment to education. “My mom was a wonderful person who was active in church and the community,” said Griffith, the University’s new vice president for Academic Affairs. Her mother “valued an education. That’s where I get it from,” said Griffith, who was born in Oregon, the oldest of three children, and raised by her single mother, the late Edith Harris, in Union, N.H. “My motto is and always has been, ‘I live to learn.’” Griffith arrived at Suffolk University Nov. 1 after serving as dean and law professor at Georgia State University College of Law. “I was immediately attracted to Suffolk because of its focus on quality teaching and strong faculty/student interactions,” she said. She has immersed herself in her new surroundings—visiting the residence halls, working out in the weight room and walking through the library. She is trying to learn about Suffolk students not only by communicating with them, but also by putting herself in their shoes. Continued on page 3 �Research Boosts Broken Windows Theory The law enforcement field is taking note of the research efforts of Brenda J. Bond, assistant professor of Public Management, who is co-author of a journal article documenting significant crime drops in focused areas of Lowell where law enforcement problemsolving, public works and code enforcement had been brought to bear. The long-debated “broken windows” theory of social behavior argues that crime is linked to physical and social disorder in a Brenda Bond community. In Lowell, this disorder took the form of trash-strewn streets, broken street lights, abandoned buildings, public drinking and loitering. In the course of the randomized research study, officials cleaned up half of the neighborhoods plagued by these sorts of problems. Researchers then monitored the results and found that there were 20 percent fewer calls to police from the spruced-up areas compared to areas receiving traditional police response. “This study is critical in that it not only supports the theoretical aspects of Wilson & Kelling’s ‘Broken Windows’ theory, but it generates valuable knowledge that police practitioners can adopt as part of their policing strategies,” said Bond. “Moreover, the study shows that engagement of non-public-safety services is critical to crime reduction. By building on the work of my colleague, Dr. Braga, the results of this experiment will inform police strategy for years to come.” Bond served as co-author of the research article, in the journal Criminology (8/09), with Anthony Braga of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. The Boston Globe wrote about the study and its outcome in its Feb. 8 edition, with a follow-up editorial on Feb. 13, 2009  Before (top) and after photos show one of the Lowell neighborhoods that police officers focused on as part of their problemsolving efforts. Trash was cleaned up, and the neighborhood saw a reduction of crime with no significant increase in crime in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Thursday, May 7, 2009 The Royal Sonesta Hotel Cambridge The Beacon Hill Institute partici​­ pates in the annual Job Shadow Day sponsored by the Boston Private Industry Council and the Boston Public Schools to provide an opportunity for high school students who are considering career choices to learn about professional life. “Nineteen students have visited BHI as Job Shadows since our first year of participation in 1999,” said Frank Conte, director of communications and information systems for BHI. This year, Gledestony Sequeira and Daynabo Issak, juniors from Charlestown High School, shadowed Conte as he went about his work. “Job Shadow Day is a great opportunity to introduce high school students to both T h e S UN is publ ished by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu 2 SUN Executive Editor Greg Gatlin Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark Frank Conte with Charlestown High School students Daynabo Issak and Gledestony Sequeira.

Students who participate in Job Shadow show a real interest in success,” said Conte. “Curiosity about work life and its many responsibilities is a valuable trait, and Gledestony and Daynabo clearly understand its importance. The institute -- through its work in economics -- is always interested in the next generation and how it will shape tomorrow’s workforce. To that end I tried to underscore how their jobs will change over a lifetime in our dynamic economy.”  �New Academic VP Focuses on Quality Continued from page 1 “One of my goals is to improve the quality of the academic enterprise,” said Griffith, who works closely with the deans at all three schools. “To accomplish this, I have to ensure that our students have the best learning experience and support services possible. There is nothing more important than that.” Griffith’s additional goals include: • Continuing to focus on diversity • Energizing the commitment to inclusiveness at the University’s campuses worldwide • Creating the University as a hub for intellectual discourse • Encouraging faculty to engage and promote scholarship and discovery of new information • Preserving Suffolk’s reputation as an outstanding teaching University She welcomes the opportunity to assist the University in its continuing growth in a competitive environment and tough economic times. Griffith, who holds a B.A. from Colby College and a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School, said: “I like the challenge of helping to move educational institutions forward to the next level.” Griffith stressed Suffolk’s value as an educational resource and partner. “A University today cannot be insular,” she said. “What we need to do is host events that draw people from the community with whom we can connect. We have to bring people together to discuss ideas and share knowledge about a wide range of topics.” Griffith was at Georgia State University College of Law from 1996-2008. She also served as professor of law at Quinnipiac University and Bridgeport University schools of law. She spent a year as an American Council on Education fellow at Ohio State University. “I feel one of my strengths is that I have been at various institutions and seen how other schools operate,” she said. One project Griffith is tackling is the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation, which occurs every 10 years, with the next selfstudy scheduled for 2012. The furnishings in Griffith’s office on the 12th floor of 73 Tremont Street reveal something unique about her: She works standing up. Her computer, printer and fax machine are all lined up on a platform against the back wall, like a technological buffet. This setup allows Griffith to walk around as she works, with everything at her fingertips. “There is no special reason other than I like working standing up,” she said. She then added, “Besides, I sit enough during a typical day while attending meetings.” When she’s not busy at work, Griffith enjoys skiing, sailing, swimming and jogging. She also is a “political junkie,” a big fan of Italian and Chinese food, and a voracious reader, presently reading Albion’s Seed, a cultural history book by David Hackett Fischer. Her recent transition from South to North has gone smoothly. “Now I know why we attract so many students from all Janice Griffith stands while working at the computer. (Photo by John Gillooly) over the country and all around the world— our location,” said Griffith with a smile. “Boston is an exciting and historical place, and it has so much to offer. I even like the climate.”  College & Athenaeum Partner for Civic Discourse Series Civic Discourse, a new initiative sponsored by The Boston Athenaeum and the College of Arts and Sciences, was inaugurated in February with journalist and political analyst David Gergan lecturing on “The Press—Turning Foe into Friend.” The College and the Athenaeum will present an annual series of lectures, panel discussions and films devoted to a topic of national significance. Media and Democracy is the focus for 2009. “Our goal with the civic discourse initiative is to treat significant—and significantly complex—issues as thoroughly as possible and from a variety of perspectives, said Dean Kenneth S. Greenberg. “We believe the topic Media and Democracy will provide great resonance following the recent national elections. In addition to talks by leading national political and media figures, the series will feature many of Suffolk’s faculty members, particularly professors in the Communication and Journalism Department.” “Our goal is to reactivate the role of the Boston Athenaeum as an institution in which the most pressing issues of the day would find a full and intelligent hearing,” said Richard Wendorf, the Athenaeum’s Stanford Calderwood director and librarian. “We are very fortunate to have been able to forge a relationship with the College of Arts and Sciences at Suffolk University, a major institutional presence in our neighborhood.” Events are free and open to the public by advance reservation.

Bellinger said he always believed there would someday be an AfricanAmerican president, but he didn’t expect it this soon. “You see young children—AfricanAmerican children—who are aspiring to be president, and that’s exciting.” Assistant Professor of Government Brian Conley, in Washington with students for a Presidential Inauguration Seminar, recapped Obama’s speech in an interview with New England Cable News. Paraphrasing the president, he noted that “this tradeoff between liberty and security is essentially a false one. You don’t necessarily need to sacrifice liberty to achieve security. I thought these were interesting comments on what has been the prevailing paradigm for the past eight years.” Discussing inauguration addresses since the birth of the nation, History Chair Robert Allison told Fox 25: “Presidential inaugurations really are special events. Every four years we do this and it is, as President Kennedy said, ‘not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom.’ And it’s a humbling thing to realize that since 1789 every four years we have met to inaugurate a president, sometimes a new one, sometimes one who had been reelected. ... It is part of the continuity of American democracy. ... a reassuring thing.” “This is a very important day in the lives of many people,” said Habiba El-Derini, a management and marketing major from Egypt. “Outside of America, we’re all excited to see a president who can make a change for our side of the world instead of America alone.”  Creating the Dream: Lori Cawthorne Jacinda Felix and President David J.

(Photo by John Gillooly) Provost Rises to New Challenges Barry Brown is an educator above and beyond everything else. Yet he likes new challenges, which is one reason he accepted the position of University provost six months ago, eagerly seeking the opportunity to have a positive impact at his “home away from home.” “I have such a high regard for this University and the people who are part of our community,” said Brown, who has been associated with Suffolk for more than three decades. “My challenge is to make sure that we continue to have the physical and monetary resources available to provide a quality education to people of all ages and from all walks to life.” One of Brown’s priorities is to recognize the importance of Suffolk’s more than 60,000 alumni worldwide. “I’m working on helping them become more involved in the University and knowledgeable about the extraordinary progress that our schools have made in recent years,” he said. “I would like to create an effective and involved alumni organization and base for the entire University.” Brown supports the efforts to develop the downtown campus with a new student center, athletic facilities, science laboratories and student housing. “I very much would like to see these facilities become a reality over the next few years,” he said. “To meet this goal we will require increased alumni and private-sector support; it is essential for our growth.” Continued on page 2 �Provost Continued from page 1 Another challenge is maintaining a strong financial base for Suffolk students and faculties, increasing financial aid, and developing grant and support funding from private-sector and industry sources. Brown also cited the importance of the international programs’ growth. The provost joined the Law School in 1976 and has taught Real Property, Land Transfer and Finance, Professional Responsibility, and Biomedical Law and Public Policy. He still teaches a Real Property class each semester, instructing 110 students with the same passion he had when he first stepped in front of a classroom. “I love teaching,” said Brown, who holds Barry Brown an A.B. from Harvard College, an Ed.M. from the Harvard School of Education and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. “I could be having a bad day, but whenever I walk into a classroom and feel the energy of the students, that all changes. It’s such a wonderful experience to interact with students who are so engaged to learn and to use that education to benefit themselves.” Personable and articulate, friendly and genuine, Brown has always been innovative in connecting with students. He’ll do whatever it takes to make them reach their full potential. “Students need to relax and to love what they’re learning,” he said. “My reward is seeing their faces when they succeed. There’s nothing better than that.” The provost’s allegiance to Suffolk is clear. “The heritage, the culture, the relationship shared among our students, faculties and staff are special,” he said. “It was like that when I started working here more than thirty years ago, and it is the same today. There are no barriers among us.” Brown and his wife, Ellen Shapiro Brown, a Law School alumna, live in Newton. He rises at 5 a.m. daily and reads five newspapers with his morning cup of coffee. He enjoys skiing, sailing and cheering on the Boston sports teams, particularly the Red Sox. Immersing himself in a good history book or a biography is another of his fond pleasures. As he takes on the next challenge in his distinguished career, Brown goes about his business with a spirited attitude. “People are always asking me: What does a provost do? And I tell them that it might be a shorter list to describe what a provost doesn’t do in a growing and exciting University,” he said with a laugh. Pausing, he added, “I have a great job and there’s no other place I’d rather be.”  On Equal Terms Exhibit Celebrates Tradeswomen The exhibit On Equal Terms: Women in Construction 30 Years & Still Organizing, at the Adams Gallery through March 17, celebrates 30 years of women in construction. On Equal Terms grew out of an effort by artist, poet and educator Susan Eisenberg to learn from tradeswoman pioneers about the struggle to bring women into the construction trades. The personal testimonies of the many women she has interviewed inform her work. Federal policy changes in 1978 opened construction jobs and apprenticeship programs to women, with projections that women would make up 25 percent of the construction work force by now. Yet today women hold only about 2 percent of jobs in the building trades. Assistant Professor Patricia Reeve of the History Department, whose research interests include labor history and the histories of gender and women, made the connection with Eisenberg to bring the exhibit to the University. “This mixed-media exhibit brings to light the experiences of women in occupations with a long history of discrimination and T h e S UN is publ ished by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu 2 SUN Executive Editor Greg Gatlin Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark exclusion,” said Reeve. “Typically their voices are absent from statistical analyses of and policy debates about affirmative action in the workplace.” Programming related to the exhibit includes a poetry reading by Susan Eisenberg and a panel discussion on Boston tradeswomen’s history and their current campaign for enforcement of local and state compliance laws.

That’s what it came down to when Ed Leyden was given the choice to become the coach of the Revere High School girls varsity basketball team or the boys jayvee squad 25 years ago. “I flipped a coin to make my decision,” said Leyden. “Whatever came up, that’s where I was going.” From that humble beginning, Leyden made Ed Leyden quite a name for himself in the coaching profession, even before he joined the University as women’s basketball coach. At Revere High, where Leyden taught math for 37 years, his girls teams were 84–36, a .700 winning percentage. Revere won the Greater Boston League title his last three seasons, going 44–1 during that time. Leyden was twice selected the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year and was named Boston Globe Coach of the Year. Ten of his players went on to become captains of their college teams. Leyden joined the University’s women’s basketball program in 1994, facing a real challenge: The Lady Rams had had an overall record of 85 wins and 201 losses in the previous 14 seasons. Building on discipline, teamwork and fundamentals, Leyden has guided the team to an average of 15 wins each season. His 1999 team holds the school record for most wins in a season, with 19; his 2000 squad won the Great Northeast Athletic Conference title; and the Rams were ranked among the Top 20 in team defense by the NCAA in 2003 and 2005. “My job is to be fair and do what’s best for the University and the team,” said Leyden, who has been named GNAC Coach of the Year four times (1997, 1998, 2000 and 2008). “Division III women’s basketball is very competitive, and we play to win. Each student-athlete on the team has a role that she is expected to fulfill to the best of her abilities. We try to create an environment where the players work hard, play smart and have fun.” Leyden cites the role of his coaching staff—Caitlin O’Loughlin, Shannon Kirwan and Barry Kipnes—in the team’s success. “I’ve made it a point to surround myself with good people,” said Leyden. “I give a lot of credit to my assistant coaches for the energy and chemistry they provide in making our system work.” Leyden insists that his players reach their potential on the court, and he also demands that they excel in the classroom. The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association ranked Suffolk among the Top 25 Division III academic teams in 2001 and 2003. Almost every weekend from April through August is spent on the recruiting trail. Leyden looks at both PPG (points per game) and GPA in searching for that perfect player. “Ed Leyden has raised the level of accomplishment of Suffolk University women’s basketball in a manner that distinguishes him as one of the premier coaches in New England,” said Director of Athletics Jim Nelson. “Ed’s quiet on-court demeanor belies a fiery competitiveness within that provides motivation to his players and admiration from his coaching colleagues.” In addition to his coaching duties, Leyden is now an assistant to the director of Athletics. While it has been a long time since that coin flip and his coaching debut, he continues to be passionate about the game he loves.  Potpourri Counseling Center Reaccredited Wayne Bonikowski, English, presented two papers: “Ford Madox Ford’s Wartime Impressionism” at the International Conference on Narrative in Austin, Texas, and “The Power to Cut and Wound and Excite: Feeling and Communication after War in Virginia Woolf ’s Mrs. Dalloway” at the Modern Language Association Conference in San Francisco.

In a letter to Counseling Center Director Ken Garni, IACS President Theresa DiNuzzo wrote: “In addition to your high-caliber counseling services, the Board in its review was very complimentary of your University’s commitment to student mental health as reflected in the size of your staff, your Center’s budget and staff compensation, and the variety of outreach programs provided to your students. You have met the criteria for full reaccreditation by the Board of the International Association of Counseling Services. Congratulations to you and your staff for a Center which maintains a high standard of services to students at Suffolk University.  February 20 09 3 �Guide to Working with a Potentially Troubled Student When a student called a College fac­ lty member and left a u garbled message, stopped attending classes and could not be reached by telephone because his voice mail was full, it raised a red flag. A call was made to the Division of Student Affairs, and concerned members of the team called the police where he lived and asked them to check on him. They discovered that he was seriously ill, and the student ended up going to the hospital. The Division of Student Affairs has been reaching out to faculty, staff and students to raise awareness about supporting students who may be troubled or dealing with difficult issues, according to Dean of Students Ann Coyne. As part of this effort, brochures are available to the University community offering information on how to recognize potential problems and seek help when there is concern about a student. “If a student on campus is troubled or has issues he or she is dealing with, we want to offer support,” said Coyne, who said awareness of such need has grown in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy. “We also try to let faculty and staff know they’re not alone,” she said. “If they think there’s something going on with a student, there probably is. Faculty and staff aren’t expected to know how to deal with some of these issues, nor should they tackle these problems alone. We can give them tools to talk to the student about issues or refer them for help.” Concerned faculty, staff or students can call, e-mail or fill out an online form to begin the process of helping a student who may be in distress. “We get a good number of calls each semester, “ said Coyne, who follows up by discussing the situation with the person reporting it and devising an appropriate response strategy. However, she needs tangible evidence of a problem before she will contact a student. Sometimes a faculty member will report that a student is “off,” and she must draw the hard facts out of them. Signals that a student may be experiencing problems include: • poor class attendance • sporadic attendance at work-study jobs • difficulties with roommates • disturbing writings in homework assignments • changes in behavior and personal habits “We haven’t come across anyone we think is violent or threatening,” said Coyne. “Some students are just eccentric, but people are more aware of this after Virginia Tech. “There’s nothing wrong with being odd; we have to accept everyone’s idiosyncrasies. But at the same time, there’s nothing wrong with checking to make sure the behavior is merely eccentric.” If further action is indicated, Coyne meets with the student and, depending on the situation, may tell him or her how she learned about the problem. She will first discuss this with the person who made the report. “Usually students appreciate that we are concerned about them,” said Coyne, who after the discussion might refer the student to an appropriate resource, such as the Counseling Center, Ballotti Learning Center, Disability Services or Diversity Services. The brochure will be distributed again in the fall and is available online at www.Suffolk.edu/campuslife/22769.html.  Bar Pass Rate Exceeds 94% Law School graduates taking the Massachusetts bar exam in July 2008 were quite successful, with those taking the exam for the first time achieving a 94.3 percent pass rate. The average for all those taking the bar exam for the first time was 92.1 percent. “Bar exam passage rates fluctuate from year-to-year, but it is clear from this year’s rate that our bar preparation and academic programming, combined with hard work and participation from our students, can lead to a high probability of success on the bar exam,” said Dean Alfred C. Aman, Jr.  Happy New Year! Ashley Gordon of Public Affairs hands out glow-light necklaces at the annual First Night ice sculpture event.

The project will bring a new 184-seat theater and a gallery to Downtown Crossing, while creating 197 additional student beds on campus. The building will open in fall 2010. The celebration also highlighted the University’s emphasis on sustainability in designing new buildings and retrofitting existing infrastructure. Suffolk President David J. Sargent, Vice President John Nucci and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino described the importance of the restoration of the Modern, the third Washington Street theater to be preserved. The Paramount Theatre and the Opera House are the other recently rescued “jewels” in the area. “We always are pleased when we can benefit our students, whether by expanding our academic offerings or improving our infrastructure,” said President Sargent. “We are particularly proud when we can University and city officials join together to unfurl a banner marking the beginning of the Modern Theatre residence hall building project.

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

Sawyer Business School students will study and evaluate the NBA franchise’s business, marketing, and community programs and needs in class. Then, working in collaboration with Celtics personnel, they will develop marketing programs to be evaluated and potentially implemented by the team. The partnership also includes an in-game sponsorship, through which the University sponsors a popular T-shirt giveaway during each home game. Professor of Marketing Catherine McCabe, who developed the academic pro­ ram, said the partnership will bring g real-world learning in sports business and marketing to Business School students. At the same time, the Celtics may be the beneficiaries of some fresh ideas. “The opportunities for students within the sports industry in Boston and New England have been growing rapidly,” said McCabe. “That includes not just professional sports leagues and teams, but also companies that are sponsoring and developing partnerships with those teams. Whether considering a career path in sports business or some other area of marketing, Suffolk students will be better prepared for the competitive job market.”  Celebration Continued from page 1 The marble, sandstone and brownstone façade of the Modern Theatre will be taken apart stone by stone and restored. In the 1920s, it was brick that was saved and reused as the Beacon Hill campus was being constructed. When a building at 51 Temple St. was demolished to make way for a new structure, the University made a deal to have the brick left on site. Work crews cleaned nearly 150,000 bricks and used them in constructing the new building. While making the most of its resources in those early years, the University proved to be ahead of its time in sustainable use of materials.  4 SUN Ana Vaquerano, program coordinator of the Law School’s Chelsea legal clinic, University Archivist Julia Collins and Derek Lomba, whose photos are included in the Connections exhibit, reminisce about El Salvador.

This is Suffolk. That simple but catchy phrase is the message behind Suffolk’s new marketing campaign for Undergraduate Admission. “It is a very specific message to a very specific audience,” said Kathleen Peets, managing associate director of Creative Services. University Media Services departments worked closely with Undergraduate Admission to develop the campaign. Research, focus groups and strategizing set the stage for creation of the final informational and promotional elements—a virtual tour, an interactive campus map and a series of publications. “This was definitely a team effort,” said Peets. “Everyone had to know our product from beginning to end.” The overall concept was to promote Suffolk and its strong connection with Boston and its historic, cultural and social significance. Boston Common, Beacon Hill, Downtown Crossing and Faneuil Hall. TD Banknorth Garden, Fenway Park and the Theater District. “One of the key points we discovered is that people come to Suffolk because of Boston, so we built on that fact,” said University Media and Creative Services Director Midge Wilcke. “Suffolk is a great and exciting place to go to school because of where it is located—in the heart of Boston. Students who come here know that, in addition to receiving a quality education, they will be only a few steps from where everything happens.” In order to be as accurate as possible in their marketing efforts, Wilcke and her staff had to learn about what makes today’s undergraduate student tick. “We found out what Anne Condon gets a hug from the Suffolk Ram during the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk to the State House.

Since Facilities Management began using a new online work request system on April 1, it has received 650 event requests. That’s an average of nearly 100 events per month, or more than three per day. Facilities Management schedules staff seven days a week and from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays to handle the load. “Campus events put a huge workload on the facilities staff,” said James Wallace, director of Facilities Operations. “Many events need to be set up after normal business hours, including weekends. And for every event setup there is a breakdown afterwards, so the workload is really doubled.” The Law School hosted the majority of the 552 events completed as of Oct. 16, with 372 taking place there. There were 98 active requests in the system on that date, with 60 in the Law School, 24 in Donahue and seven in Sawyer. The few remaining were spread throughout other campus buildings. A link to the new work request form can be found on the Facilities Management home page, or go to www.myschoolbuilding.com.  T h e S UN is pub l ished by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu 2 SUN Executive Editor Greg Gatlin Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark teens read, what clothes they wear, what music they listen to and what trends they’re interested in,” said Wilcke. “We had to put ourselves in their shoes.” Said Peets: “This marketing campaign is to recruit students for our College of Arts and Sciences and Sawyer Business School, educating them and their parents about what this institution is all about. We really did our homework on who we are trying to reach, and we continue to do so.” Wilcke pointed out that the three publications promoting “This is Boston. This is Suffolk.”—An Introduction to Suffolk University, Information for International Students, and Viewbook 2008–09—are smaller and more compact than marketing materials produced in years past. “The purpose of these pieces is to whet people’s appetite and direct them to our Web site. These publications, the virtual tour and the interactive campus map are all part of an admission counselor’s tool kit.” Director of Undergraduate Admission John Hamel is delighted with the new marketing campaign. “We want the information we provide to prospective students and families to accurately represent the University so that students will elect to apply and attend our school and ultimately graduate from Suffolk,” said Hamel. “This marketing campaign is right on target, and it enables us to continually update information that is important in telling the Suffolk story.”  Annual Copyright License The University now holds an Annual Copyright License from the Copyright Clearance Center.

This is u Suffolk.”—includes a virtual tour and interactive campus map, giving people from all over the world a front-row seat at the University and its neighborhood: the city of Boston. University Media and Creative Services spent a year creating the communication vehicle, working in collaboration with CampusTours Inc., an interactive media and software company. The virtual tour is comprised of 11 videos, each about 90 seconds long. The videos feature nine Suffolk students and two professors in an interactive, flash-based, online “experience.” “Our goal was to create an online atmosphere that would give prospective students the same experience that they would have if they were on campus,” said University Media and Creative Services Director Midge Wilcke. “We wanted to provide them with the best chance possible to test drive Suffolk. A lot of schools have virtual campus tours, but what we wanted to do was take this to another level.” George Comeau, managing associate director of University Media and Creative Services, worked closely with CampusTours throughout the project, managing a creative and technical group of designers, video editors, flash engineers and content managers. “There was always real collaboration going on,” said Comeau. “We would have weekly conference calls involving people from all over the country.” Closer to home, Comeau credits Suffolk junior Rebecca Bishop for her role on the in-house team. “She did a great job for us,” said Comeau. “She was a production manager, but I gave her the title of ‘director of authenticity.’” Bishop managed workflow and guaranteed that the project would speak directly to the student audience. It took 2,031 elements—photographs, video, audio and Web links—to create the virtual tour. An interactive campus map, “Suffolk Univercity,” was created by illustrator John Roman, a 1974 graduate of the New England School of Art & Design, as part of the virtual tour. “In this illustrated city/campus map, I wanted to show Suffolk’s relationship to the sites and landmarks of Boston that are within the school’s proximity,” said Roman. “My intention on this project was to accentuate Suffolk University’s structures within the maze of Boston’s downtown architecture and accomplish this in a way that captures the urban spirit and fun, while maintaining a priority of focus on Suffolk’s position amidst the bustle of the city.” The Suffolk University Virtual Tour and Interactive Campus Map was named the Adobe Site of the Day on October 3. Suffolk was only the 30th higher education institution to receive this award. Said Wilcke: “It was a wonderful honor and a tribute to all the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in putting this all together.”  10 West Residence Hall Wins Gold Interior Design Accreditation The University’s 10 West Residence Hall has been awarded LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council, a distinction shared by just a handful of student residence halls in Massachusetts.

The exhibit, at the Adams Gallery through Jan. 12, 2009, features photographs from Suffolk University service-learning efforts in Boston-area communities and in El Salvador. The late Congressman John Joseph Moakley played an important role in moving El Salvador beyond repression and rebellion to peace. In doing so, he forged a lasting relationship with the people of El Salvador. Students and faculty visit El Salvador annually, retracing Moakley’s path from San Salvador to rural villages. Along the way they have met officials, former guerrillas and witnesses who assisted Moakley in the congressional investigation that helped pave the way to peace in El Salvador. The exhibit also presents an encore showing of El Congresista: Joe Moakley en El Salvador, a display of photos and documents from the John Joseph Moakley Archive that explore El Salvador, the civil war and the conflict’s impact on the Salvadoran people. The campus community is invited to an opening reception for the exhibit from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19. RSVP: 617-305-6295, lmuller@suffolk.edu.

Their highly crafted paintings and drawings are shown alongside the sketches, 8 SUN Dana Clancy, study for “ The Storm Outside the Window (2008)” . Internet and magazine sources; art history books; and color studies that informed their creative decision-making. In effect, the curator attempts to re-create the “studio wall” covered with unexpected images, postcards and inspirational objects that exist in each of the artist’s studios. The finished work is given a history through this “contextualizing” of the artwork, with early stages of thought and jumping-off points all in evidence.

T he University celebrated a milestone this summer when the city approved its Institutional Master Plan—a move that sets the stage for the next 10 years of campus growth and development. Much of the initial focus has been on two key projects that will move forward as a result of the master plan approval: Construction is slated to begin this fall on the Modern Theatre and residence hall in Downtown Crossing. And the proposed state-of-the-art academic building and art school at 20 Somerset St. has entered its design and permitting phase. But the approval also paves the way for a student center, an athletic center and more residential housing in the next phase of Suffolk’s growth. The master plan identifies those needs and establishes a blueprint for their development in a way that benefits the University and the city, while minimizing impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. “With all the needs the University has for facilities expansion, we now have a much clearer path to getting it done,” said John Nucci, vice president for external affairs. “This will be the first time that the need for and potential locations of more residence halls, a student center and an athletic center are identified in an approved master plan.” The Boston Redevelopment Authority board unanimously backed Suffolk’s 10-year master plan in a June 24 vote. The city’s Zoning Commission followed suit one month later, and the plan was then signed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino. Nucci praised the vision of University President David J. Sargent. “President Sargent is completely tuned in to student and faculty expectations for a 21st century university, and he has provided the leadership to keep Suffolk ahead of the curve as technology and infrastructure needs evolve,” said Nucci. “He is working to bring new academic, housing and student services facilities online in a way that benefits both the campus and the city.” Community process Perhaps most striking was the strong support the Institutional Master Plan and the two development projects received from Continued on page 2 io n �A Message from the President E ach academic year begins with a sense of excitement and purpose as colleagues reconnect, new community members are made welcome, and we begin anew the mission of educating our students.

Sargent sign historic agreement as John Nucci, Elizabeth Leary and Michael Feeley of Government and Community Affairs look on.

The University has agreed not to add any new classroom seats in any building on Beacon Hill. Also, no dormitory, student center or athletic center will be built on Beacon Hill • Caps the University’s undergraduate enrollment in Boston at the equivalent of 5,000 full-time students over the next 10 years This special edition of the SUN details the University’s Institutional Master Plan, which lays out how our campus will change over the next 10 years and describes two new building projects that will make our campus more functional and welcoming. Incoming students now demand housing, and by offering safe, on-campus housing to undergraduates at a time when the cost of living is rising, we ease their transition into the world of higher education. We also are realigning classrooms and enfolding the New England School of Art & Design more closely into our core campus. Our students continue to come to us from all walks of life, and they hail from across the nation and around the world. We offer them the opportunity to gain a superb education with the added advantage of easy access to the historic, business, government and cultural resources in downtown Boston. They in turn will benefit the city through their good works and by breathing additional life into downtown Boston all day and into the evening. The enormous effort that went into the Institutional Master Plan process involved several departments across campus, particularly John Nucci and his team in Government and Community Affairs, and I thank them. We also owe our gratitude to the community members and city officials who worked diligently to help us finetune the plan so that it will benefit the community as well as the University. David J. Sargent President Institutional Master Plan Continued from page 1 Suffolk’s neighbors. During both the BRA board and Zoning Commission hearings, public officials and neighbors lined up to speak in favor of the plan. Not one person spoke in opposition. That kind of support didn’t come easy. It was the result of 18 months of close collaboration with a city-appointed task force made up of representatives from neighborhoods surrounding Suffolk, including Beacon Hill, the West End, the North End, Downtown Crossing and the Ladder District. Over the course of about 20 task force meetings, the University heard and addressed concerns, answered questions, and made modifications to the development projects and the master plan based on input from task force members. “This could not have been done without Mayor Menino’s and the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s leadership and the painstakContinued on page 3 • Includes a goal of providing residential housing for 50 percent of students in the next 10 years and 70 percent within 20 years • Details future University needs, including a student center and an athletic facility • Was developed with a city-appointed task force made of up of representatives from neighborhoods surrounding the University 2 SUN T h e S U N is pub l is h e d by: Office of Public Affairs Executive Editor 73 Tremont Street Greg Gatlin Boston, MA 02108 Managing Editor 617-573-8447 Nancy Kelleher sun@suffolk.edu Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark �Key Master Plan Moments March 1, 2007 June 30, 2007 City-appointed community task force discusses Suffolk’s priorities, recent growth and transformation in the first of about 20 meetings.

Public meeting is held regarding the University’s forthcoming Institutional Master Plan and the Modern Theatre. Public hearing held regarding the Institutional Master Plan and the Modern Theatre proposal. The Boston Redevelopment Authority unanimously approves the University’s Institutional Master Plan. July 24, 2008 Mayor Thomas M. Menino signs the master plan. Continued from page 2 ing work of the community task force,’’ Nucci said. “Their contributions created a better master plan as well as an example of how the community process should work.” Road map to the future The Institutional Master Plan provides a road map for future growth by identifying general areas in downtown Boston—or “clusters”— where the University could potentially expand. The idea is that future development will be dispersed throughout the clusters, rather than concentrated in a single area. Gaining support from Suffolk’s neighbors, including those on Beacon Hill, was seen as critical to moving the master plan and its development projects forward. In late spring, the University reached a landmark agreement with the Beacon Hill Civic Association. That pact, hammered out through a series of intense negotiations, broadens a non-expansion zone on Beacon Hill. Suffolk agreed not to expand its footprint on the hill and will not build dorms, an athletic center or a student center there. Beyond the proposed academic building at 20 Somerset, the University agreed not to add any more classroom or lab seats on Beacon Hill. The College will shift 400 seats from the Temple Street area to 20 Somerset, once that building opens. The University set a goal of housing 70 percent of its students in the next 20 years and agreed to cap its Boston campus enrollment at the equivalent of 5,000 full-time undergraduate students over the 10-year life of the master plan. Suffolk also will make its paid Boston Police details and neighborhood response unit a permanent part of its operation. In turn, the Beacon Hill Civic Association agreed to support the 20 Somerset St. and Modern Theatre projects and agreed not to oppose the 10-year Institutional Master Plan. Public officials praised the agreement for protecting the interests of Suffolk’s neighbors while allowing for sensitive and well-planned expansion. “Universities and colleges are crucial to Boston’s economy and prominence, but institutional expansion needs to be done in a way that is in harmony with our great neighborhoods,” Menino said in early June, when the pact was announced. Meanwhile, the agreement already has eased friction between the University and Beacon Hill neighbors. And it has been lauded in newspaper editorials and elsewhere as a model for other expanding colleges and universities that face tensions with surrounding communities.  Special Edition 2008 3 �T h e S UN is publ is hed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu 4 SUN Executive Editor Greg Gatlin Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark �Modern Theatre: A New Building with a Familiar Face T he renovation of the Modern Theatre building will not only create a 197-bed residence hall, but it also will keep the spirit of the old Modern Theatre alive with a first-floor gallery and performance space that can be used for functions, according to Adrian LeBuffe of CBT, the architectural firm designing the new building. The façade of the historic building will be taken apart stone by stone and sent to a masonry restoration expert before the remainder of the structure is torn down. When the residence hall/theater opens in fall 2010, it will be a completely new building with a fully restored face. Architects worked with the University to design a building that will meet students’ needs, be environmentally sustainable and preserve the historic landmark. The Modern Theatre was included on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as part of the Washington Street Theatre District. In 1995 it was designated a Boston Landmark. Building history In 1876, four years after the Great Boston Fire destroyed the nearby business district, Architect Levi Newcomb designed the building in the High Victorian Gothic style. It housed showrooms and warehouse space for the Dobson Brothers, the largest carpet manufacturers in the United States. In 1913, when motion pictures began moving from makeshift nickelodeons to theaters, the Dobson Building was converted into the Modern, the first Boston theater designed specifically to show films. Admission was 15 cents, and musical accompaniment was provided on an Estey Organ designed specifically for use in the theater. The Modern had the first of these organs installed in the eastern United States. Clarence Blackall was the architect for the Modern Theatre conversion. His firm also designed 13 other theaters in Boston, including the surviving Colonial, Wilbur and Metropolitan, now known as the Wang Center for the Performing Arts. The firm designed many other noteworthy buildings in Boston, including the Tremont Temple. In 1928, the Modern Theatre premiered the first Boston showing of a “talkie”—The Jazz Singer. It also introduced the double feature in an effort to compete with newer Modern Theatre as it appeared in 1915. Modern Theatre will enliven Downtown Crossing. theaters showing movies and vaudeville together. The Modern was used as a theater of some kind continuously until the 1980s, when it fell out of use. The intervening years have taken their toll on the structure, and the interior is now considered beyond repair. But Suffolk has stepped in to save the historic façade. LeBuffe. “Deconstruction” of the rest of the building will follow, probably beginning in October and lasting as long as three months. “By the first of the year we expect to have an empty site,” said LeBuffe. Construction of the new, 12-story building is projected to take 20 months, with residence hall doors opening to students in fall 2010. The façade will be rebuilt in its original location, and, after restoration, can be expected to last another 100 years. In addition to suite-style housing, the building will feature a 184-seat theater that can be converted from a classic proscenium format to a flat-floor function room. It will be used for performance, lectures, films and receptions. The lobby space in front of the theater will double as a gallery. The building will be LEED certified. LEED is an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and buildings that earn this certification employ University steps in “The University began looking at the building as a result of suggestions from area residents made during the University Master Planning Process,” said Michael Feeley of Government & Community Affairs The building backs up to the new residence hall at 10 West St. and is around the block from the University’s first residence hall at 150 Tremont St. The Modern Theatre’s ornate façade is cracking and will require significant The building will feature a 184-seat theater that can be converted to a flat-floor function room. It will be used for performance, lectures, films and receptions. restoration work, according to LeBuffe. The first three floors are constructed of Vermont marble, and the four upper floors of sandstone and brownstone. “We’ll mark the back of each of the several thousand stones as we remove them,” said green design across all phases of design and construction. The building will be sustainable not only in the materials and systems used in construction, but also due to clean and efficient operation when the building comes into use.  Special Edition 2008 5 �A bird’s eye view of the new building that will house art studios and classroom space at 20 Somerset St. 20 Somerset to Present Lively and Quiet Sides D esigners of the proposed academic building and art school at 20 Somerset Street faced the challenge of bringing active, public uses to one side of the building while respecting the sanctity and the serenity of the neighboring Garden of Peace on the other side. The result is an emerging vision for a building that features two distinct approaches to two different facades, said Patrick Tedesco, principal with Chan Krieger Sieniewicz, the renowned architectural firm designing 20 Somerset. The building, now in its design and permitting phase, will become home to Suffolk’s New England School of Art & Design as well as 10 general-use classrooms for the College of Arts and Sciences. Design is in its early stages and must still go through a comprehensive public review process with neighbors and city and state officials. The south façade looking out onto Roemer Plaza and the Sawyer Building would feature an active lobby, art gallery and critique spaces for NESAD students to display their work. 6 SUN “The idea is, it’s a very vibrant façade that you can see into from Sawyer,” Tedesco said. “It also helps enliven what will be an improved Roemer Plaza.” The plaza itself will be renovated with benches and landscaping, offering students and the general public an attractive, sunny outdoor space. The University also will use Roemer Plaza to commemorate the venerable history of the Metropolitan District Commission, whose headquarters were located in the now-abandoned building for more than seven decades. That history includes the conservation of thousands of acres of park land in and around Boston, including Olmstead’s Emerald Necklace, the Charles River Esplanade, Castle Island and many other sites. On the opposite, north side of the building, architects envision a quiet façade overlooking the Garden of Peace, the memorial that commemorates victims of homicide. “It was an urban design goal to respectfully try not to activate that side of the building,” said Tedesco. The building will be no taller than the current abandoned MDC building, so as not to cast additional shadows on the Garden of Peace. �Plans for 20 Somerset include an improved Roemer Plaza, offering an attractive outdoor space for students and the general public. A statement from the Garden’s board, delivered June 24 to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, described the planning process with Suffolk as “one of transparency and collaboration.” The Garden had opposed a previous proposal for a high-rise dorm at 20 Somerset St. “This time around we absolutely felt informed and consulted, especially regarding the design, as the building serves as a backdrop for the Garden,” said Evelyn Tobin, who chairs the Garden’s board. “We felt our concerns were not only heard but responded to in terms of how the design has evolved.” Art studios will be located on the north side of the building to take advantage of indirect light, avoiding heavy shadows and glare. But not all New England School of Art & Design students need to work by natural light. Graphic designers, students working with computer-assisted-design software and others will have space in electronic studios at the core of the building, where natural light won’t interfere with their work. Classrooms on the ground floor and on two floors below grade level will serve a significant portion of the undergraduate population. They will have about 40 seats and will be used by the College of Arts and Sciences for general purposes. The initial design for the façade facing Somerset Street features a mixture of glass and masonry. Chan Krieger has designed an impressive feature for that façade: a larger, tiered classroom that will slope down the side of the building along the grade of Somerset Street. “We were very pleased conceptually with what they have come up with,” said New England School of Art & Design Chairman Bill Davis. “I know there’s a lot of work left, but at the schematic phase the architects have managed to incorporate the vast majority of what we were looking for.” Davis said students will get the large, unobstructed studio space needed for classical art, such as painting and drawing. In the art and design school’s current location at 75 Arlington Street, larger rooms have columns in the middle, making for less than ideal space. Plans for 20 Somerset call for an art and design library and gallery space that is larger than what the school has today, including a secondary gallery. “That space will become not just NESAD space, but clearly a central point for the University as a whole,” said Davis. “It’s very exciting in that it will give us a permanent home,” he added. “We haven’t had that in 15 years.”  Special Edition 2008 7 �Voices on Campus: What will be the impact of the Institutional Master Plan? “I’m excited about the opportunities these changes bring for the students, especially bringing the art students to the main campus, but also offering more housing. We have students coming from afar, and now more of them can have the advantage of living on campus. Centralized services also are helpful to students; one-stop shopping is important given all the demands on their time.” “It’s been exciting to be on the ground floor of the planning for the Modern Theatre project. Suffolk will restore this historic space, which will give the University and the Theatre Department more visibility in the city. I’m particularly enthusiastic about the professional performing arts organizations we may be able to partner with in this space.” —Dean of Students Ann Coyne —Nora Long, Theatre Department marketing & special projects supervisor “It will be great to have more students able to live on campus and experience our wonderful city. When students live in residence halls we are better able to ease their transition from high school by providing more structure; we can plant the seeds of success. And the Modern Theatre will give us another space on campus for our many students engaged in the performing arts and other campus programs.” —Dave DeAngelis, director of Student Activities “NESAD will have the best of both worlds at 20 Somerset Street, retaining our small, tight-knit community while becoming better integrated with the main campus. The design and construction of the art school’s new, state-of-the-art facility takes into consideration the environmental impact, and it will be a much more vibrant place for the arts than where we are now.” —Suzanne John, director of Academic & Instructional Services, NESAD T he approval of the Institutional Master Plan is a major achieve­ ment for the University. With a blueprint in place for sensible growth and development, Suffolk can look forward to a very bright future in Boston. Many pieces had to come together to reach this point. It could not have happened without the vision and leadership of President David J. Sargent. President Sargent has been tireless in his efforts to provide the best academic setting and facilities for our students. Also critical was the leadership of Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the Boston Redevelopment Authority in bringing together neighbors and helping to align their interests with the interests of the University. Thanks also go to the tremendous Suffolk team in External Affairs, including Mike Feeley, Elizabeth Leary and Kristyn O’Brien, as well as Gordon King in Facilities Planning and Greg Gatlin and his team in Public Affairs. And thank you to Alex Krieger and David Gamble of Chan Krieger Sieniewicz for the consultation expertise they brought to the community planning process. Finally, the Institutional Master Plan is a far better document because of the many hours of work, creative ideas, dedication and encouragement provided by the group of neighbors and stakeholders who make up the community task force. Suffolk University is grateful for your efforts.

The Super Bowl. Boston Marathon. Major concerts. Weddings and special events. Whatever the venue, Greenwald is certain to be conspicuous in his habitual cow costume. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and it’s a lot of fun,” said the senior assistant director of Undergraduate Admission. “I get quite a reaction wherever I go.” Greenwald has been a disc jockey for 17 years and is the proud owner of Cowman Productions. He began dressing up in a cow costume at public events about 15 years ago. “A bunch of us were going to an Aerosmith New Year’s Eve concert, and a buddy of mine dared me to wear the costume,” said Greenwald. “It was in the trunk of my car, because when I first worked as a DJ, I would wear various costumes when I played. Greenwald has worn his cow outfit to the 2002 and 2004 Super Bowls, cheering the New England Patriots to victory each time. He was in costume three of the 10 times he ran the Boston Marathon. This summer, Greenwald, in his cow attire, attended the Pearl Jam concert at the Comcast Center in Mansfield. The popular rock ’n’ roll group asked him up on stage to The University has made two key appointments to its leadership team. Longtime Law School Professor Barry Brown has been named provost, and Janice C. Griffith, former dean of Georgia State University College of Law, has been selected as vice president for Academic Affairs. “We are very excited that these two distinguished educators will be contributing their unique talents to the University’s academic environment during this time of programmatic growth both here at our Boston campus and abroad,” said President David J. Sargent. Brown joined Suffolk University Law School in 1976 and Barry Brown has taught Property, Land Transfer and Finance, Professional Responsibility, and Biomedical Law and Public Policy. “Professor Brown has been a superb teacher and has created exceptional programming as director of the Law School’s concentration in health and biomedical law,” said Sargent. Brown began his legal career with Goulston and Storrs, Boston, then served as first assistant bar counsel and counsel to the Clients’ Security Board as prosecutor for the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers in a number of important cases, including the reinstatement of Alger Hiss. He is widely published and wrote one of the first legal works on condominium law in the nation and one of the first Janice C. Griffith articles concerning property interests in genetic engineering, published by the Stanford Journal of Law and Public Policy. He also founded and is the faculty adviser to Suffolk’s Journal of Health and Biomedical Law. Brown holds an A.B from Harvard College, an Ed.M. from Harvard School of Education and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. “I am proud to have the opportunity to work more closely with President Sargent and my colleagues in the College of Arts and Sciences, Sawyer Business School and Law School. Together we will join the many currents of the University’s three academic units for the benefit of our students,” said Brown. “We have the hope of creating true educational and economic opportunities for our graduates and preparing them for an increasingly complex and internationalized world.” Griffith’s legal expertise is focused on state and local government law, regionalism and metropolitan growth issues. She became interested in higher education administration during a year as an American Council on Education fellow at Ohio State University. “Dean Griffith, in emphasizing contributions to public policy as she led Georgia State University College of Law, has shown an intrinsic understanding of the Suffolk University spirit of service,” said Sargent. As dean, she oversaw the development of partnerships with other institutions and the creation of two interdisciplinary centers, one for the Comparative Study of Metropolitan Growth and the other for Health Law community partnerships. She also established Continued on page 2 Lou Greenwald with Pearl Jam.

Griffith holds a B.A. from Colby College and a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School. “Suffolk’s mission of creating opportunities for students and access to excellence resonates with me,” said Griffith. “I firmly believe in the University’s focus on quality teaching and strong faculty/student interactions. Nothing is more important than teaching students the communication, analytical and interpersonal skills they will need to become effective leaders in our 21st century global society.”  Udderly Outrageous Continued from page 1 perform with them—the third time they’ve issued him that invitation. “At concerts, wearing the costume definitely helps me get better seats,” said Greenwald, whose New Hampshire home is filled with ceramic and cast-iron cow statuettes. “I also get to go backstage, meet and greet people, and get music memorabilia.” Suffolk Athletic Director Jim Nelson remembers when Greenwald, now an assistant cross-country coach for the Rams, competed during his undergraduate days—wearing the cow costume. “Lou is a unique individual who was legendary as a student athlete,” says Nelson. “He was like a cult figure. Opposing coaches would ask the Suffolk coach before every meet, ‘Is the cow coming?’” Asked how long he plans to slip out of his shirt and tie and into his cow costume, Greenwald responded quickly: “As long as I’m having fun.”  Relay Race Winners The Suffolk team of Dan Hassan, student athlete; Kyle Linn MacQueen, Marketing department; Will Feldman, Undergraduate Admissions and assistant cross-country coach; Nicholas Cifuentes, cross-country alumnus; Matt Stass, student athlete; and Isaac Stahl, alumni liaison to Athletics and tennis coach, took first place in the “24-Hour Around-theLake Relay” at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield.

September 20 08 3 �Exhibit Answers Historical Group’s Question When Justina Chu dropped into the Adams Gallery on the way to her office in the Law School, she never expected to find the final chapter to a story that had intrigued her as a board member of the Chinese Historical Society of New England. Exhibit designer Joe Viamonte was in the gallery, installing the newest exhibit, Stories in Stone: The Historic Burying Grounds of Boston. “I saw the title, and it caught This gravestone sums up the life my interest,” said Chu, assistant and death of “Chow Manderien, ” budget director in the Law probably not the young sailor’s real School Budget Office, who asked name, according to Justina Chu. Viamonte about the research that (Photo by Joseph Viamonte) had been done for the exhibit. “I asked if he had information about a headstone for a Chinese man who had come to Boston on a merchant ship in the 1700s,” she said. “He said: ‘Come over here.’ ” Viamonte then led Chu to a wall panel showing a photo of a headstone inscribed with the story of 19-year-old “Chow Manderien,” who had fallen to his death from a mast in 1798. The stone is in Central Burying Ground, at the edge of the Boston Common near Boylston Street. The moment of recognition was an exciting one for Chu. “I felt like a history detective arriving at a revelation after an elusive search.” The Chinese Historical Society had long had a photograph of the old gravestone, but only part of the inscription was legible in the photo. “We were hoping to find the stone and went several times looking for it in vain,” she said. “The story was incomplete until Kelly Thomas from the Parks Department showed Joe Viamonte the stone and they cleaned it. The entire inscription finally came to light. “We always knew the stone was in Central Burying Ground, but we never were able to find it,” said Chu. “In those days, if you weren’t wealthy, you didn’t get a tombstone at your burial site. The master must have had high regard for Chow.” Chu said that Chinese visitors and immigrants of the period came to New England as students, workers on merchant ships or as laborers. The immigrant story is but one of those told through the exhibit. Boston’s early graveyards hold preachers, patriots, pirates and slaves, and their lives provide inspiration for Stories in Stone: The Historic Burying Grounds of Boston. The exhibit draws on artwork, archival records and photography to paint a picture of life and culture in Boston dating from the colony’s first settlement to today. It is at the Adams Gallery through Oct. 20, 2008.  4 SUN Online Archives to Be Launched this Fall The University will launch its online archives this fall, offering access to both the Suffolk and Moakley collections through the Suffolk/Moakley Archives Research Tool, or SMART, catalog. The University Archives were established in the 1950s by Hiram Archer, brother of founder Gleason Archer. They contain University records dating to 1906 as well as donated collections of manuscripts, films and books. These collections include the papers bequeathed by Law School alumnus John Joseph “Joe” Moakley and the papers of Suffolk University’s founder, Gleason Archer. The archives holdings include thousands of files, photographs, objects and recordings, so an online catalog will make it easy for faculty, staff and students to search across all the archival holdings of Suffolk University. The SMART catalog will be available through the archives Web site at www.suffolk.edu/archive. “Materials in the University Archives run the gamut from trustee records to oral histories to photographs to transcripts of Gleason Archer’s radio programs,” said University Archivist Julia Collins. “If someone is researching a subject, they can get a grasp of what’s available in all collections by using the SMART catalog. It allows them to do initial research at their leisure while sitting at their desks.” Researchers will need to contact the archives to see original documents and to get copies of digital images. A simple search, such as “Archer and University charter,” will bring up citations to photographs, oral history interviews, correspondence and other documents. Other ways SMART can be used by faculty, staff and students include: • Researching the history of a department by browsing through listings of departmental files, photographs, press releases and other records. • Finding information about the history of Suffolk’s buildings by browsing through building records and plans, photographs, event information and dates • Learning about the founding of the University through the University charter, scrapbooks from the early years, news clippings and other primary sources • Introducing students to primary source research • Checking to see if the archives has copies of specific yearbooks and other University publications. The archives staff is available to help users with their searches. “We encourage the Suffolk community to use the archives, whether for classroom materials, background information for publications, personal research or other projects,” said Collins.  � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Law Alumni Relations Assistant Annamaria Mueller and her daughter, Melissa Cambria, walked across the Bank of America Pavilion stage on the same day, only minutes apart. “I received my degree first and then got to sit down and enjoy Melissa getting her degree,” said Mueller, who has been working at Suffolk for nearly 10 years. “We are both very happy to have graduated together.” This special occasion was no fluke. “My daughter and I made a pact a few years ago that we would graduate at the same time,” said Mueller, who received an associate’s degree. “We had a plan, and luckily it all worked out.” Mueller, 43, attended classes during the evening, summer and even at lunchtime to accomplish her goal. She and her daughter were in the same Biology I and Biology II classes. “Melissa is very smart, and she pushed me to try as hard as I could,” said Mueller. “She was my inspiration to finish what I set out to do.” She then added, with a chuckle, “We didn’t study together, but we both got A’s in those two classes.” Melissa Cambria, 22, who received her BSBA summa cum laude, was delighted to share the spotlight with her mom. “Graduating from Suffolk University was exciting to begin with, but graduating with my mom made it even more special,” said Cambria, who works as an annuity services representative for John Hancock. “It was memorable because I was so proud of Melissa Cambria, left, and mom Annamaria Mueller of Law School Alumni Programs hold up their diplomas. See additional Commencement photos pages 6–7 (Photos by John Gillooly) . her for finally accomplishing her goal, and I knew how proud she was of me as well.  I saw how hard she had worked for it and how dedicated she was. Her commitment and perseverance inspired me to do my best.” Mueller isn’t done developing academic bonds with loved ones. The youngest of her three daughters, Kimberly, 20, just completed her sophomore year at Suffolk. A sociology major, she is scheduled to graduate in 2010. Mueller, who is two years shy of receiving her undergraduate degree, is planning to graduate with Kimberly at that time. “I begin classes in September, and the pressure is on,” said Mueller, who has another daughter, Laura, 25. “I did this once, and now I have to do it again.”  New Look BRA Approves 10-Year Development Plan See story, page 8. The Boston Redevelopment Authority’s June approval of the University’s 10-year Institutional Master Plan paves the way for development of the 20 Somerset St. academic building and the Modern Theater residence hall project. BRA approval followed a historic agreement between the University and the Beacon Hill Civic Association, through which the University extended its Beacon Hill non-expansion zone and the Association dropped opposition to the Institutional Master plan, including the development of the former MDC site for art studios and classrooms. The Institutional Master Plan, or IMP, sets a planning framework for University expansion over the next 10 years, and BRA approval allows the University to begin work on several fronts. Construction on the Modern Theater project is expected to begin fall 2008, with the combined residence hall and theater projected to open in fall 2010. The University also will be working on design and permitting for the New England Continued on page 7 �HR Steps Up With 100 Percent Recycled Paper Setting Campus Infrastructure Priorities The paper chase is over for Ryan Higginson. A longtime advocate of improving the environment, Higginson has led the way to making Human Resources the first University department to use 100 percent recycled paper. “This is something that I believe in and really want to do,” said Higginson, the assistant director of HR. “I’ve always been a big supporter of sustainability and recycling efforts both at work and at home.” According to A&G Sales Inc., Suffolk’s office supplier, most of the University uses paper that has at least 30 percent post-consumer material content. HR, however, has separated itself from the rest of the pack. “HR is the first department to commit to 100 percent recycled paper,” said A&G sales representative Greg Morton. “What this basically means is that they are generating new paper from 100 percent old paper. “The whole world is going green, particularly in the office products industry. And that is a good thing.” Higginson is excited that his department has decided to use 100 percent recycled paper, even though it’s more expensive than other options. “My hope is that using paper that costs more will make people more mindful of both the budget and the environment,” he said. “A lot of what we do is done electronically,” according to Higginson. “We’re always trying to move as much correspondence off of paper as we possibly can.” “Suffolk’s Sustainability Committee commends the HR Department for serving as a leader and encourages the Suffolk community to save trees and money by engaging in paper conservation strategies,” said Special Projects Coordinator for Campus Sustainability Erica Mattison. “These strategies include double-sided photocopying, printing only when necessary, using scrap paper trays, and using paper with a high percentage of recycled content.”  Ryan Higginson. (Photo by John Gillooly) Facilities Management and Planning has tackled its summer program of improvements, while engaging in an evaluation of University infrastructure. In late May an electrical engineer, architect and mechanical engineer from a private firm, VFA, escorted by a Facilities Management staff person, began examining Universityowned buildings inside and out, according to Director of Operations Jim Wallace. “They start on the roof and go down, usually one floor at a time,” said Wallace. The team will compile a report covering everything from sidewalks and building Jim Wallace envelope to mechanical and electrical systems, with estimated costs for needed repairs. “It will provide a great planning tool to prioritize what needs to be done in the buildings,” said Wallace. “It looks at campus facilities holistically instead of taking a piecemeal approach.” Meanwhile, Facilities Management crews have been painting, replacing carpeting and sprucing up classrooms and residence halls throughout the campus since the end of the spring semester, based on the priorities of the deans. Major summer projects include: • Building additional classrooms in Sawyer • Air-conditioning system in Archer • Laboratory renovation in Archer • Wash all exterior windows, inside and out • Ridgeway lobby makeover • Mechanical system repairs • Ensure that critical rooms have lockable doors to enable Shelter in Place Wallace noted that the façade of 73 Tremont St. is under repair by that building’s management company.   T h e S UN is Publish ed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 sun@suffolk.edu 2 SUN Executive Editor Greg Gatlin Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark Moakley Foundation Honorees The John Joseph Moakley Charitable Foundation honored Suffolk University Trustees Jeanne Hession and James Linnehan with the 2008 Moakley Foundation Public Service Award in recognition of their lifelong commitment to public service.

Deleting a file does not destroy it, so ITS is using a more thorough method to guarantee that data stored on the computers cannot be recovered. While some schools or departments have been doing this on their own, this policy will ensure that everyone adheres to a high standard of security. The office that provides information technology support for a department’s machines is responsible for wiping the data from any computer it discards. Computers cannot be directly donated, disposed of, or otherwise discarded by the user. All decommissioned computers must be brought to the appropriate office before leaving the University. The offices are: • CAS (excluding NESAD): Academic Computing, cashelp@suffolk.edu, 617-557-2002 • NESAD: NESAD IT Support, nesadsupport@suffolk.edu, 617-994-4268 • Law School: Law Academic Technology, computinglaw@suffolk.edu, 617-573-8352 • Sawyer Business School, Cape Cod Community College, Merrimack College: Office of Technology Management, otm@suffolk.edu, 617-573-8524 • All other departments, Boston campus: ITS Help Desk, helpdesk@suffolk.edu, 617-557-2000 • Madrid Campus, Raul de la Fuente Marcos, director of Information Technology, marcosr@suffolk.es • Dakar Campus, Seward Kollie, systems administrator, skollie@suffolk.edu, 869-1000 ext. 307  College Magazine Gains National Recognition The premier issue of the Suffolk Arts+Sciences alumni magazine received two national awards in June at the 28th Annual EXCEL Awards in Washington D.C. The magazine received the Gold EXCEL Award for the Most Improved Newsletter-to-Magazine category and was one of four overall winners to receive the EXTRA! Award for cutting-edge publishing excellence. EXTRA! Award winners are chosen from among the EXCEL winners for pushing the envelope and taking bold chances to innovate in an ever-changing publishing environment. “It’s wonderful recognition for the magazine and for Suffolk University,” said Sherri Miles, editor-in-chief of the magazine and director of communications for the College. “We set out to create an alumni magazine that didn’t look like other alumni magazines, and we succeeded.”  Audrey Goldstein by an array of NESAD faculty prints installed in the Munce Conference Room. (Photo by John Gillooly) Faculty Prints Grace Munce Conference Room The Munce Conference Room is the newest campus venue for viewing artwork, and an exhibit of prints by faculty of the New England School of Art & Design is now on display. When the room in the Archer Building was refinished this year, Dean Kenneth Greenberg asked Fine Arts Program Director Audrey Goldstein and Associate Dean Lauri Umansky to coordinate artwork. Meanwhile, Associate Professor Randal Thurston had been talking with New England School of Art & Design colleagues about a new, nontoxic printmaking process. “We all wanted to try this technique,” said Goldstein, so a Fine Arts faculty workshop was organized. “All of these prints are from original drawings.” The sun print process uses light exposure to make prints from drawings, and the faculty produced an edition of prints for donation to the Sawyer Library. Some of these prints now hang in the Munce Conference Room. The process of creating that exhibit led to an additional exhibit, Prints & Related Drawings, Fine Arts Faculty Print Folio, at the main NESAD gallery through July 12.  Human Resources News New Faces Please welcome our newest employees: Daniel Caparrotta, NESAD Shirley Consuerga, Student Activities & Service Learning Alison Cunha, Dean’s Office, Sawyer Business School Peter Gemmellaro, Enrollment & Retention Management Stefanie Harvey, Advancement Todd Mook, Business Office Jeffrey Pisani, Facilities Management Anita Sen, Theatre Arts Oliver Stone, Center for International Education Levon Sukiasyan, Information Technology Services Christopher Ulrich, Information Technology Services Dan Wu, Center for International Education  April 2008 3 �Potpourri Tahir Al-Bakaa, History.

Kaplan, who was honored for her contributions to the field of neuropsychology, joined the University in 1996 and is the founder of the neuropsychology concentration of the doctoral program in clinical psychology. “Edith Kaplan has long served as a mentor, role model, supervisor, colleague and friend to many fellow neuropsychologists. It is only fitting that she receive such a distinguished award in recognition of her years of dedication and unwavering enthusiasm for the field of neuropsychology,” said Haley LaMonica, a Suffolk clinical psychology doctoral student who attended the event. Kaplan is included in a distinguished group of individuals who played a pivotal role in establishing neuropsychology as a distinct clinical and professional discipline. As founder of the Boston Process Approach to neuropsychological assessment, she initiated a movement in the United States that offered a radical alternative to strictly quantitative assessment batteries by highlighting the importance of cognitive strategies and error pattern analysis versus sole reliance on outcome scores. She has served as president of both the International Neuropsychological Society and Division 40 of the American Psychological Association. Kaplan is also an adjunct professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine. Kaplan is author or co-author of some of the most widely used neuropsychological Continued on page 3 Michelle Bolser, Rich Limone and Andrew Teixeira are the technical brains behind the College blogging program. (Photo by John Gillooly) College Pilot Blog Proves Popular When Michelle Bolser piloted a blogging program at the College of Arts and Sciences, she expected that perhaps 10 people would test the waters. But six weeks after the launch, the site already was hosting 60 blogs. And on March 27, the site had reached 100 bloggers. The blogs were launched in January in response to faculty requests, and faculty members have built blogs that include class materials, research and presentations. Students are blogging under the direction of faculty, and the dean’s office has a blog for posting information about events and another for the College’s alumni magazine. But the College blog’s popularity has spread even beyond the campus community. “Many of the student blogs are drawing comments from outside the University,” said Bolser, educational technology coordinator for the College. “People stumble across the blogs, like what they see, and subscribe.” The College blogs, located at http:// blogs.cas.suffolk.edu, are built on the WordPress open source platform, which is easy to use, according to College Director of Communications Sherri Miles. “Blogs have so much appeal because they provide a simple and instant way to publish information—you can change text and add photos any time, and the results are immediately viewable on the Internet.” The software uses rich text format, and there’s no need for coding, so bloggers can cut and paste text from a Word document, said Bolser. It also can incorporate plug-ins, such as video files. Lab Tech Manager Rich Limone and Andrew Teixeira, senior Unix systems administrator, both volunteered to set up and administer the WordPress server for Continued on page 3 �New Public Affairs Director, SUN Editor Greg Gatlin, the University’s new director of the Office of Public Affairs, also will serve as executive editor of the SUN. Gatlin joins the University after 10 years at the Boston Herald, where he had risen through the ranks from reporter to deputy business editor and, most recently, business editor. He also has worked as a reporter at The Patriot Ledger and the MetroWest Daily News and in production at ABC News in New York. (Photo by John Gillooly) Hear All about Us on iTunes U The University is using iTunes U to bring new educational resources to both the University community and an external audience. Professors and staff have developed podcasts of courses, lecture series, productions and marketing material as part of the University’s efforts to prepare a public site for iTunes U and to offer private online content to students. Many of these files can be downloaded for listening or viewing by accessing iTunes U through Blackboard or the Law School Web site. The Legal Practice Skills faculty at the Law School has launched a podcast series of weekly legal writing tips. Subscribers can automatically download these podcasts when new content becomes available and listen to them anywhere or anytime. They are available to the public at www.law.suffolk.edu/iTunes. In May the Law School will launch a guest speaker podcast series, featuring legal writing experts from around the country who will provide advice on applying the legal research and writing skills learned during their first year of law school to summer legal employment. The Legal Practice Skills department will host the series, but the intended audience includes first-year law students nationwide. It will be available, free of charge, on iTunes U. College podcasts are primarily private and course-specific at this time, with professors from Education and Human Services, Mathematics and Computer Science, Biology, Theatre, Humanities and Modern Languages, and the New England School of Art & Design offering video and audio content to students in their courses. All schools will be developing additional public and private podcasts over the spring and summer, with the goal of launching a comprehensive Suffolk University site on iTunes U next fall to showcase the school’s law, business and liberal arts areas of study. These public and private faces reflect the potential of iTunes U as both an educational and a marketing tool based on the site’s visibility and traffic.  New Issue of Salamander Literary Journal The latest issue of Salamander, a literary journal edited by English Professor Jennifer Barber and sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences, features: • Fiction by David Crouse, Rachel Klein, Dana Kinstler and Kathryn Gahl • Poetry by John F.

Roberts is the author of the award-winning book, Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age. His new book, Collapse of Fortress Bush: The Crisis of Authority in American Government, examines the Bush presidency in the larger context of recent U.S. history. “I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to serve as the first Rappaport Chair in Law and Public Policy,” said Roberts. “Suffolk Law School has three great advantages: talented people, a tradition of public service and a perfect location. It is the ideal place to have conversations about the intersection of law and public policy.”  �Pilot Blog Proves Popular G re e n C a m p u s Continued from page 1 City Honors University with Green Business Award the pilot project and have been adding more functionality over time. Except for an initial e-mail announcing the pilot, there was no advertising to prompt the huge response, said Bolser. Her own blogs include a wide range of technical information, including support for bloggers and those preparing iTunes University content. Bolser also has offered both classroom and one-on-one training. The College blogs are generally public, but different levels of privacy are available to users. The S.O.U.L.S. Community Service and Learning Center originally opted for a private blog, using it in much the same way as Blackboard, but finding that it is easier to use. A move is afoot to open the blogging project to the wider University, and a committee is being formed to look into both technical and policy issues. Meanwhile, various departments across campus are also blogging, including the Sawyer Library, Admissions and Career Services. Law professors are particularly active in the off-campus blogosphere, and the University Web site links to blogs from student ambassadors.  SMART Idea for Archives The University and Moakley archives will launch an online archive this fall, and researchers and the general public will be able to search across all of the University’s archival holdings using the Suffolk/Moakley Archives Research Tool, or SMART, online catalog. The archives staff thought long and hard to come up with a catchy name for the database, even reaching out to and offering a “special archives gift” for ideas. In the end, Nicole DeAngelo of the archives staff came up with the SMART acronym. “We had been brainstorming in the office that day about the name, and it popped into my head as I was riding home on the commuter rail,” said DeAngelo. No word yet on what the “special archives gift” will be, but perhaps it will be ready in time for DeAngelo’s April 27 wedding to Dan Feeney, after which she will adopt his last name.  Nicole DeAngelo The city of Boston has selected Suffolk University as a recipient of the second annual Thomas M. Menino Green Business Award, based on the University’s many academic and operational sustainability initiatives. One of our areas of success has been in reducing energy consumption. The University’s electricity consumption was reduced 9 percent in February as a result of installing highefficiency lighting, a benefit to both the environment and the budget. The lighting and water improvements are expected to be completed by June 2008, and Facilities is exploring additional efficiency opportunities. We’re also taking our energy efforts on the road. Suffolk is now a university partner of Zipcar, which means that qualified faculty, staff and students have access to a discounted membership. Members also receive discounts to area attractions. Each Zipcar takes 15 privately owned vehicles off the road. Information is available at www.zipcar.com/suffolk. The University is participating for the second year in Recycle Mania, a national waste-reduction and recycling competition for colleges and universities. Suffolk has achieved a weekly average of 35 percent recycling during this year’s competition, surpassing its goal of 33 percent. Just two years ago the campus recycled less than 5 percent of its waste stream. The Sustainability Committee would like to remind you to be mindful of the waste stream as you clean your office this spring. Before you throw away a binder, book or supplies, ask yourself if it can be reused within your department. If not, contact recycle@ suffolk.edu to make a donation. Suffolk has relationships with local organizations such as Extras for Creative Learning, which collects used supplies for Boston-area artists and schoolchildren. Did you know? A glass bottle takes thousands of years to break down if sent to a landfill, but it can be made into a new item within weeks if sent to a recycling plant. Gordon B.

He again took up the sax in his early adult years, playing alongside a good friend before any audience that would listen. “Subways, parks, workshops, outside, people’s homes—it didn’t matter,” said Bellinger with a slight chuckle. “We played anywhere we could, and we had a great time doing it.” This traveling duo continued to perform for people of all ages for about 10 years. Then, in 1986, on his first visit to Senegal, Bellinger purchased a drum. Less than a year later, he bought a second drum, different from the first. “Shortly thereafter, I came home one day and said to myself, ‘If I have these drums, I should learn how to play them,’” he said. Bellinger took drum lessons from Nurudafina Abena, a woman with more than 40 years of experience as a drummer, for about 10 years. “She was a great teacher who provided me with the foundation of how I play,” he said. Bellinger has been playing the drums for various groups, including two African dance companies, at local concerts and music festivals for a little more than 20 years. He has produced a CD with one of the bands. He also has played in a jazz band with a group formed by a childhood friend. And last October, he demonstrated his talents as a drummer in an opening act for award-winning jazz musician Dee Dee Bridgewater at the Tremont Temple. “I enjoy the transformative experience that music can be for the performer and the listener,” he said. Bellinger is presently working on forming a percussion ensemble, known as Tam Tam Gisé. “It’s in the infancy stage and will be comprised of local talent,” he said. “It will be a vehicle for expressing my own musical ideas and flexibility.” Bellinger was instrumental in bringing the Faye Family, a Senegalese drumming and dancing group, to the University for a month as part When he’s not teaching history, Bob of Suffolk’s Distinguished Bellinger enjoys following the beat Visiting Scholars program. of his own drummer.

Walsh Theatre; conducting workshops describing the relationship among language, music and movement; and participated in various Black Studies classes. “The Faye family is an exciting and electrifying group of musical performers,” said Bellinger. “Their visit here not only adds to the educational experience of students, faculty and staff, but it also helps strengthen the relationship between our Boston campus and our campus in Senegal.”  Faculty Publications Melanie Barker Berkmen, Chemistry and Biochemistry, had an article, “Still looking for the magic spot: the crystallographically defined binding site for ppGpp on RNA polymerase is unlikely to be responsible for rRNA transcription regulation,” published in the Journal of Molecular Biology, Vol. 277, issue 2, 2008.

(Photo by Dhan Shrestha) Study: Health Law Leaves Women Vulnerable Research by the Center for Women’s Health and Human Rights shows that many low- and moderate-income women have not reaped the full benefits of Massachusetts health care reform measures. Women in Massachusetts have greater medical expenses than men, while earning less than men. As a result, insurance programs that require substantial deductibles, co-pays and other forms of cost-sharing may put health care out of women’s reach, according to a policy brief written by Sociology Professor Susan Sered and students pursuing the Master of Arts in Women’s Health program. Massachusetts health care reform, designed to offer health insurance to uninsured, low-income people, was phased in beginning in summer 2006. “While the law makes great strides in offering health care coverage to low- and moderate-income people, it has not eliminated gender inequalities in the health care system.” said Sered.

(Courtesy, Ken Martin, Amstockphoto.com) Safety Team Promotes “Shelter in Place” The Incident Command System team has begun teaching the University community about Shelter in Place, a procedure used when the most appropriate response to a specified danger is to remain in a building rather than to evacuate. Threats to safety requiring Shelter in Place might include severe weather, a hostile intruder or the release of a hazardous material. The team conducted Shelter in Place drills on four floors at 73 Tremont St. in midMarch and plans more drills across campus. Building occupants were warned of the drill so they would be prepared to take the following steps: 1. Stay where you are or go into the nearest room with a door. 2. Close the doors 3. Close the windows 4. Close the blinds or curtains 5. When possible turn off air conditioning/heating unit 6. Wait for the “all-clear” message from authorities Risk Manager Karen Kruppa and Environmental Health and Safety Manager Kerry Laroche reported that participants responded appropriately during the drills. While there was a problem with the public address system on the 12th and 13th floors, the team was able to use a bullhorn to announce the drill’s start and finish. The team reminds members of the University community: To report any suspicious activity, always call the University Police at extension 8111, or, from an outside line, 617-573-8111.  � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ensuring physical, information and programmatic access for those with disabilities impacts retention efforts and benefits everyone.” For example, podcasts are a wonderful educational innovation, but it may be necessary to offer a transcript so that they are accessible to English Language learners, the deaf and hard of hearing. Curb cuts, elevators and automatic doors are great, not only for those using wheelchairs, but also for people carrying heavy items into a building or pushing strollers. “Many simple, cost-effective solutions already exist to broaden access under the umbrella of our institutional mission of access,” said Evans. In an effort to raise disability awareness for the entire University community, Evans has offered sessions on attention deficit disorder (ADD), understanding learning disabilities, and disability access to technology. The sessions drew many faculty and staff from across campus, as well as guests from local universities and law schools. Continued on page 6 TV Studio Lights Up Tremont St. The storefront windows at 73 Tremont St. have come alive with the opening of the Communication and Journalism Department’s new high-definition television studio. The studio, which will be the setting for television production and broadcast journalism classes, features streaming video at the base of the window panels and an outward-facing television screen. Passers-by see campus images and the University logo on the continuous screens running along the entire storefront, and they can watch the operation of the TV studio through the windows along Tremont Street. “The University is acutely aware of the importance of an active street life that promotes pedestrian traffic,” said Vice President for External Affairs John Nucci. The 660-square-foot studio is equipped with three high-definition digital cameras, a full lighting grid and a state-of-the-art control room. “Our new television studio will enable our students to receive state-of-the-art instruction in television studio production,” said Associate Professor Robert Rosenthal, chair of Communication and Journalism. “It also provides an exciting venue for our ‘Temple Street’ television program, and we plan to produce Suffolk University newscasts and a sports show.” “Temple Street,” which is broadcast on Boston Cable Access (BNN), produces features on Suffolk University and the Boston community, focusing on Beacon Hill and downtown. The studio also will be used to conduct broadcast television interviews with local business, political, sports and cultural leaders.  Vice President John Nucci, lab instructor Jason Carter, Dean Kenneth Greenberg and Communication and Journalism Chair Robert Rosenthal cut the ribbon for the new television production studio.

The competition started the last week of January and runs for 10 weeks. Suffolk is seeking to outdo last year’s performance and can fulfill its goals with your help! In 2007, the University ranked in the top 30 percent for paper recycled among colleges participating in RecycleMania, and this year we aim to land in the top 20 percent. The Sustainability task force also aims to improve its cardboard recycling ranking, from the top 95 percent in 2007 to the top 75 percent, and to double the percent of the waste stream we recycle during the competition, from 16 percent in 2007 to 33 percent in 2008. Over the past two years, Suffolk has improved its practices, increasing its recycling from just 4 percent of its total waste stream to 25 percent. With heightened awareness about recycling and extra attention to waste reduction, we will be able to continue improving so that we are throwing away less and less and recycling more of our waste. The main goal of RecycleMania is to increase awareness of campus recycling and waste minimization. All participating schools are required to report measurements on a weekly basis in pounds. RecycleMania provides many ways to gain recognition, including RecycleMania trophies, awards and participant certificates. RecycleMania is supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WasteWise program and the National Recycling Coalition and is coordinated as a project of the coalition’s College and University Recycling Council. Faculty, staff, students and visitors can help the University surpass its previous performance and reduce its environmental impact by taking advantage of the campus’ extensive and convenient recycling program and by reducing waste. Choosing reusable items over disposables is one way to reduce waste. Through a partnership with Sodexho, Suffolk’s new Mug Club provides customers with 15 cents off their beverage purchases when using a reusable travel mug. This is just one of many steps the University has taken, with the help of the Sustainability Task Force, to encourage environmentally friendly behavior. In addition, workshops continue to be available to any classes or departments interested in exploring ways to reduce environmental impact. There are many opportunities for the Suffolk community to get involved in helping make our institution greener. To get involved or share ideas, please email recycle@suffolk.edu. Erica Mattison Special Projects Coordinator for Campus Sustainability Focus the Nation The University was one of thousands of organizations around the country to help “Focus the Nation” on global warming.

These people were innocent, and they trusted the system. It was just so heartbreaking.” In the summer of 2000, authors Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen conducted interviews with 60 people, ranging widely in age, ethnicity and religious and educational backgrounds. The only thing they had in common was that they had been found guilty of a capital crime and had spent time—from two to 22 years—on death row awaiting execution. All were subsequently shown to be innocent and were freed. From these interviews, Blank and Jensen created The Exonerated. When Performing Arts Office Director Kristin Baker announced last year that she was going to produce The Exonerated as part of the Pioneer Performance Series, Karns immediately called and asked if she could be involved in the show. She was cast as Sunny Jacobs. Jacobs was imprisoned from 1976 until 1992. Her husband was executed for a crime he didn’t commit, and her parents were killed while she was in prison. Her children grew up without a family— and she was innocent. “I have such respect for Sunny Jacobs,” said Karns. “Her compassion, her faith and her unfailing spirit are so inspirational.” Last month, Karns and a cast from within the Suffolk community, performed The Exonerated before captivated audiences at the C. Walsh Theatre. English Department Office Manager Jeremy Solomons played Gary, another one of the exonerated people. John Hames, a staff member in the Center for International Education, and Suffolk Law Professor Andrew Perlman also showcased their skills in the play. “By our last night on stage, we all seemed comfortable talking about the injustices of the justice system, race and the death penalty, in front of a crowd,” said Solomons, who acted professionally in his native England and comes from a long line of entertainers. “We had moved from shock—the feeling most of us had at the read-through that these cases could even exist—to an understanding of how human beings survive and come through these most dreadful experiences.” The cast included students Sharif Butler, Gustave Cadet, Katuiska Cruz, Clarence Flanders, Samantha Hartlen, Tony Hui, Brittany Jasilli, Brian Lefort, Brian Martineau and Alexandra Taylor. Baker directed the production, and Performing Arts Office Assistant Director Kathy Maloney and Coordinator Ben Janey were part of the crew, along with students Jen Gibson, Mike Hayes, Heather Luciani and Lori Niquette. Suffolk Law Professor Michael Avery and Sociology Professor Steven Spitzer participated on the post-show discussion panel. “Suffolk was exactly the right place to host this production because it’s at the intersection of arts, politics, law and society,” said Baker. “We have been impressed by all the various people from different corners of the University who have been engaged in this process. We hope this production sparked discussion throughout the Suffolk community.”  Job Shadow Day at the Beacon Hill Institute The Beacon Hill Institute participates Tech Boston student Hieu Thong and Frank Conte. in the annual Job Shadow Day sponsored by the Boston Private Industry Council and the Boston Public Schools to provide an opportunity for high school students who are considering career choices to learn about professional life. “Seventeen students have visited BHI as Job Shadows since our first year of participation in 1999,” said Frank Conte, director of communications and information systems for BHI. This year, Hieu Thong, a junior from Tech Boston Academy, shadowed Conte for the day and also helped update the institute’s media databases. “Very few things are more satisfying than helping a student learn about the virtues of professional life,” said Conte. “Moreover, as a public policy organization located in the heart of the city and one often concerned with urban economic issues, the institute is pleased to host students from the Boston public schools. Job Shadow Day is also a chance to showcase the academic offerings here at Suffolk University.  M a r ch 2 0 0 8 3 �Potpourri Robert Allison, History, has edited excerpts from eight Massacre Orations, given in the 1770s by Joseph Warren, John Hancock and other patriots and in the 1850s by abolitionists William C.

It impacts every aspect of the institution, from facilities to admissions, Erin Evans residence life to counseling. It protects students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests. Therefore it is important that all key players work together to develop a process to remain in front of the issues, according to Evans. “I’ve been very pleased with the response from Law School faculty and administration around disability access issues. Once they recog­ ize an issue, they’re eager to put the n steps in place to facilitate an optimal learning experience.” Need for services escalating Asperger’s Syndrome, mental health issues, chronic medical conditions and technology access to curricular materials are hot topics, said Evans. Another trend is a huge increase in the number of students requesting their textbooks and course materials in a digital format. Online courses and multimedia, whether in the classroom or on the Web, also pose accessibility challenges. Educational research and Census Bureau statistics show that the number of people with disabilities continues to grow at a seismic pace. A school as large as Suffolk University should expect about 10 percent of its students to require services, said Evans. Evans came to the Law School with extensive experience in disability issues, serving in regional and national leadership roles for the Resource Partnership, NASPA (National Association of Student Personnel Administrators) Region I, and Association for Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD). She founded the Disability Leadership Consortium in 2003 and has offered 45 workshops for leaders in higher education. “It’s clear to me that the Law School and the Dean’s Office care about students, and it’s a good environment to work in,” she said. “I’m pleased to have the opportunity to make an impact on disability matters quickly, while also broadening my scope to work with faculty and staff on everyday student matters.”  6 SUN Walk to the Hill for Civil Legal Aid Members of the Law School community joined the Feb. 28 Walk to the Hill for Civil Legal Aid.

Sonko has served as a special consultant on higher education to the Senegalese president; director of Senegal’s Office of Government Studies; chief of staff for the prime minister; Minister of Labor, Employment and Public Affairs; and Minister of Internal Affairs. “Andre Sonko has been an indispensable resource and ally as the University established the first and only full-service American campus in West Africa,” said President David J. Sargent. “His unwavering commitment to education will be a great benefit to the students, faculty and staff in Dakar and an inspiration to everyone within the University community.” Sonko is president of the S.O.S.—Sahel Senegal and a member of Caritas Senegal and the orientation council of the Aspen Institute of France. He is a knight in the Order of Merit of Senegal, a knight of the Malta Order, an officer of the Legion of Honor, commander of Academic Palms of France and Senegal, and commander of the National Order of Korea. He holds a master of science degree with distinction in economics from the University of Dakar in Senegal and a master of business administration degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. Suffolk University awarded him an honorary doctor of humane letters degree in 2001.  Ford Hall Forum in Partnership with College Ford Hall Forum has established a partnership with the College of Arts & Sciences, and the lecture series’ administrative offices have taken up residence in the John E. Fenton Building. Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, is scheduled to kick off the Forum’s fall 2008 season in the C. Walsh Theater next September. Also appearing at future events on campus will be Gary Hershberg, CEO of Stoneyfield Farms and author of Stirring It Up: How to Make Money and Save the World, and Gwen Ifill, host of PBS’ Washington Week in Review. The original Ford Hall once stood just a block away from the Fenton Building, and the nation’s oldest free public lecture series began there in 1908 as a series of Sunday-evening public meetings hosted by prominent Boston businessman George W. Coleman. Coleman’s unique format, which provided equal time to speakers’ remarks and questions from the audience, gave any interested citizen the opportunity to debate issues with some of the most influential figures of the day. According to Coleman’s vision, the lecture series would enable the “full, free and open discussion of all vital questions affecting human welfare.” 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, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Henry Kissinger, Ayn Rand, Eleanor Roosevelt, Cokie Roberts and Malcolm X. The University 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 public education and civic dialogue. “Both organizations were born in the progressive era, and both have a commitment to free speech and interactive learning,” said 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.”  M a r ch 2 0 0 8 7 �New Records System Eliminates Paper Waste The reams of paper once required to track a student from the application stage through admission, financial aid, registration and beyond have been all but eliminated by ImageNow, a document-management system now in use at the University. The product stores documents as images so that they can be accessed by multiple users throughout the University, according to Senior Programmer/Analyst Darlene Poplawski. “We can literally call an applicant or student up in Colleague while ImageNow is open, click on an icon, and anything that’s been scanned for that person—including applications, transcripts, e-mails and recommendation letters—will be available for viewing,” said Poplawski.  Documents also can be viewed through ImageNow alone using an applicant/student ID or name. The documents may be viewed on campus or from a remote location through the Web. The College Financial Aid, College Registrar, Graduate Admission and Undergraduate Admission offices are using ImageNow to scan and link documents to applicants/students, and other offices across campus are able to access these materials. The Law School Admission Office, Registrar and Financial Aid Office will implement ImageNow this coming summer. Documents enter the system through scanners, from Word documents, PDFs, spreadsheets and e-mails using the ImageNow Printer or when sent to a particular fax number. “The admission offices used to have to pass along all of the admitted applicant folders to the Registrar’s office—literally walk boxes of file folders over,” said Poplawski.  “Paper copies of everything would have to be stored.  And paper copies of applicant files would be made for everyone reviewing them.” Now the images are accessed electronically. “We’ll be saving money on paper and file storage costs, people will be able to access files more quickly and conveniently, and the biggest advantage by far will be that we’ll be helping the environment by going pretty much paperless,” said Poplawski.  Reaccreditation of Interior Design Under Way The New England School of Art & Design is in the midst of reaccreditation for its BFA and MA programs in interior design. Both programs seek reaccreditation as Professional Level Programs. Nancy Hackett has completed a program analysis report, which will be reviewed by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, formerly FIDER. She and Karen Clarke, co-directors of the interior design program, are coordinating the site visit to take place March 28 through April 1.

(Photo by Andrea Dolan ) hall that houses students today, it worked with the city and area residents to ensure a good fit in the neighborhood. A key tool in this process was the Institutional Master Plan. The Boston Redevelopment Authority requires that all colleges and universities in Boston prepare an Institutional Master Plan and update it every five years. The University has been working for about a year to create a new master plan, under the leadership of John Nucci, vice president for Government and Community Affairs. This plan will address campus needs over the next 10 years. The plan will incorporate a growth strategy for the University, while outlining plans for the Modern Theater and 20 Somerset St. sites. “The Institutional Master Plan is an essential document in that it keeps all University stakeholders—from students and faculty to alumni, neighbors and city officials—informed about how we plan to meet the future needs of the University community” said Nucci. “The feedback from these constituencies has proved essential to developing projects, such as the 10 West St. residence hall, that benefit everyone involved.” Specifically, the Institutional Master Plan will address the following needs: • Residential • Athletic • Student services • Academic space “The Institutional Master Plan is a partnership effort with the BRA, the community task force and the University,” said Gordon King, senior director of Facilities Planning and Management for the University. “It gives a broad view of the physical growth needs of the University and a strategy for achieving that growth in downtown Boston, where we have our campus.” Continued on page 3 Dean Aman: I Want the World to Know Us New Law School Dean Alfred C. Aman, Jr., has adjusted easily to his new role as the ninth dean of Suffolk University Law School and has set goals in keeping with the Law School’s mission. “I’m getting to know the Law School and the Suffolk community, and I couldn’t be happier,” said Aman, former law school dean at Indiana University—Bloomington and an internationally known scholar and lecturer. “I strongly identify with Suffolk Law’s distinctive mission and have long admired its history of opening doors to the legal profession for generations of students, regardless of their economic and cultural backgrounds,” said Aman. “Clearly, there’s still a lot of learning that has to continue on my part, but everything I know about Suffolk Law’s historic goals and accomplishments makes me more enthusiastic and confident in its future.” Aman, who succeeded Robert H. Smith last summer, is experiencing the classroom for himself this semester, teaching a course on administrative law to 60 students from the day and evening divisions. Near the top of Aman’s list of immediate goals are increasing need-based scholarships for students and increasing the visibility of Suffolk Law across the country. “We have great programs at this school, and I want the world to know what they can find at our school here in Boston,” he said.” Aman has been busy meeting with faculty, staff, students and alumni, listening Continued on page 2 �G reen C a mpu s A Milestone for University Environment This is the first in a series of occasional columns about sustainability efforts on campus. The University marks an important milestone in its continuing efforts to improve sustainability with its first LEED-Silver building, the 10 West St. residence hall. Sustainable design is at the core of LEED—or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design—standards. Our goal is that the Modern Theater and 20 Somerset St. developments also will meet these high standards. The University also is in the midst of a massive retrofit of lighting and water fixtures. Water is very expensive, so sink, shower and toilet valves are being replaced with water-saving models. Lighting fixtures also have been upgraded, with incandescent fixtures converted to high-efficiency fluorescents and low-efficiency fluorescents upgraded. The new lighting maintains the same light output as the old. Sensors installed in classrooms and offices shut off lights automatically when they’re not in use. The upgrades have been completed in the Ridgeway and Sawyer buildings, and work continues elsewhere on campus. The goal is to decrease the University’s carbon footprint and save on energy and water costs. There has been a complete upgrade of the Law School’s mechanical control system, which handles heat, cooling and light. The computerized central system is now both reliable and energy efficient. These initiatives have been guided by the Sustainability Task Force, made up of students, staff and faculty, and are being implemented by the Facilities Planning and Management Department. Learning about responsible energy use is an important part of the total learning experience here at Suffolk. This is an issue that touches everyone growing up in the world today. The reaction to our sustainability efforts in the residence halls has been overwhelmingly positive. We are coming out of the dark age and into the green age, and we ask all members of the University community to contribute through mindful use—and reuse—of our resources. Gordon B King Senior Director, Facilities Planning and Management Dean Aman at the Helm Continued from page 2 and learning about their hopes, goals and priorities for the future. He credits his smooth transition to the help he has received from faculty members, associate deans and a talented and caring staff. “I’m thrilled and honored to be working with so many extraordinary and hardworking people,” he said. “We have a great team of professionals.” Education always has been central in Aman’s life. “My parents emphasized the importance of education at an early age,” he said. “And I always had wonderful teachers along the way, people who inspired and mentored me career-wise and intellectually.” He recalled receiving the book Do It Right on the first day of his freshman year at McQuaid High School in Rochester, N.Y.

Members of the University community, city officials and neighborhood residents gathered for the Jan. 9 opening celebration and tours of the building. The residence hall accommodates 274 undergraduates in suites and apartments. The University’s three residence halls now have the capacity to house more than 1,000 students, nearly 25 percent of Suffolk’s undergraduates. (Photo by John Gillooly) The ideas about campus priorities that should be addressed in the plan have risen from the roots of the University, and each of the deans has been involved in the process. “Suffolk must expand its footprint to meet these needs, which have long been recognized by the University,” said King. “The master plan will reflect our strategies for expanding in downtown Boston to accomplish our educational goals.” The first step in creating the new Institutional Master Plan was to file documents with the BRA on Jan. 11. This filing and related documents are posted on the Facilities Management and Planning Web page: www.suffolk. edu/offices/950.html. King expects the master plan to be finalized by summer 2008, after considerable public review this spring. Consulting with the University on the master plan is world-renowned architect and urban planner Alex Krieger, who has been meeting with a community task force for more than a year.  University Wins Several CASE Communication Awards New Master’s Program in Ethics & Public Policy The University was well represented in the recent CASE The College of Arts and Sciences is introducing a new District I Communication Awards.

What does that mean? Dee Fink of the University of Oklahoma tells us that significant learning environments are those classroom and external experiences that “result in something that is truly significant in the students’ lives.” When significant learning is occurring, students are actively engaged and taking responsibility for their own learning. You can see it in the energy level of the class. Significant learning is a further development of two critical concepts in teaching. The first concept is that of learning taxonomies. Many of us are familiar with Bloom’s taxonomy, which identifies stages of learning. Bloom identifies six stages, from the lowest level, concrete knowledge, to the highest level, evaluation of ideas. Significant learning adds to this basic definition of learning by adding the aspects of integration, caring, humanity and the desire to continually learn the role of education. The second expanded idea of significant learning is that of course design. Wiggins & McTighe are famous for their concept of Backwards Design, that is, knowing what you want to happen at the end of the learning experience and using that information as the basis for planning course work. Significant learning experiences use a more developed, integrated approach to create the type of learning climate that not only involves traditional goals and objectives, but also is greatly enhanced by active learning and the use of multiple forms of educative assessment in the context of the situational factors involved in the learning environment. Though this all sounds a bit daunting and may mean that we as teachers have to be open to changing some of our current practices, significant learning is possible for our students. As a result of the enthusiasm of one of our book groups, the Center for Teaching Excellence is pleased to announce that Dee Fink, author of Creating Significant Learning Experiences will be the keynote speaker at the Center’s annual Spring Teaching Luncheon on March 25. Dee will discuss how to make classroom learning significant. Seating is limited, so be on the lookout for your invitation. For those who are interested in reading more about this concept, Dee’s book is available as an e-book from the Sawyer library. Here’s to a semester of significant learning at Suffolk!

Interventions and Objects: New Work by Bebe Beard and Liz Nofziger is at the Gallery at the New England School of Art & Design, 75 Arlington St., through March 15. Video/installation artists Beard and Nofziger will be creating new, site-specific works in the gallery space for this show. The artists, working separately yet sharing the same space, transform the viewers’ perception of the gallery experience, adding a sense of play along with a rethinking of how space is used. Nofziger is known for creating intimate experiences by incorporating objects such as miniature figurines and tiny video monitors into hidden and obscured spaces, bringing attention to otherwise overlooked details in the architecture of a space and forcing the viewer to look in a new way. She further plays with this sense of space and scale by balancing her miniatures with larger video projections to create an immersive experience for the viewer. Beard presents a multi-channel, room-sized video projection and mobile sculptures enhanced by a soundtrack that reacts to viewers as they move through the gallery. The moving sculptures’ shadows add further depth and layering to the images on the walls. Adams Gallery A Memory of Humanity: From Solferino to Guantanamo— 145 Years of Red Cross Photography continues at the Adams Gallery through March 31.

The Anatomy and Physiology lab has shared space with Comparative Physiology, Scientific Writing and an evening lecture. This has meant that Anatomy and Physiology students have been able to work in the lab only during class time. The proposed addition of lab space will enable greater lab access for research and independent study, while increasing efficiencies for faculty preparing coursework. The new lab will increase the department’s lab capacity by 14 percent. This is the second major gift from the Lynch Foundation, founded in 1994 by Carolyn and Peter Lynch, who received an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science degree from the University in 1994. The Lynch Foundation established a scholarship in 1997 for a graduate of one of the eight inner-city high schools of the Archdiocese of Boston. In the past five years, the number of Biology majors at the University has grown 61 percent. Anatomy & Physiology is required for students pursuing graduate school for medical degrees, including veterinary science and dentistry. Among non-science majors, Biology courses are the most popular for satisfying the University’s core science requirement.  8 SUN Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Participating in the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Holiday Concert were: Ron Bell, director of Gov.

I hope you enjoyed the holidays with your families and friends and are now ready to begin afresh the important work of educating our students. Suffolk University again welcomed in the New Year with an ice sculpture display in front of the Law School. This year, First Night celebrants saw the energy of the University embodied by the Suffolk Ram. Our New Year’s Eve celebration allows us to bring together faculty, staff, alumni, students and neighbors—all the people who are key to the success of the University community. We were very pleased to see our students move into our newest residence hall, at 10 West St., earlier this month. The University now has the capability of housing more than 1,000 students in our three residence halls, and we are pleased to be able to offer them a full university experience, including the opportunity to live with fellow students in affordable and safe housing. The official opening of 10 West St. again brought together the wider community, and we were pleased to have Mayor Thomas Menino speak at the event. As recent events show, we have been hard at work planning for the expansion of the physical campus, but, as always, intellectual development and service are at the heart of the University’s mission. The College of Arts and Sciences is preparing to offer a new master’s program in ethics and public policy next fall, and it once again will host an exciting array of distinguished visiting scholars this semester, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer; Byllye Y. Avery, founder of the Black Women’s Health Imperative; and novelist Maxine Hong Kingston.

(Photo by John Gillooly) Capital Campaign on Way to $75M Goal “The Power to Change” campaign already has garnered $46.8 million, or 62 percent of its $75 million goal, after just over a year of the three-year effort. “The response from Suffolk alumni and friends has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Vice President for Advancement Kathryn Battillo. “This is the result of so many generous people who share our vision of ensuring that Suffolk remains a vital, vibrant school, accessible to all.” The Campaign for Suffolk University, launched in October 2006 during the University’s Centennial Celebration, is an unprecedented effort to harness Suffolk’s proud heritage to a boundless, enduring future. The ambitious campaign advances initiatives in four key areas: student life and learning, academic excellence, evolving campus and the annual fund. It champions every aspect of University life, preparing the University to meet the challenges of higher education in the 21st century. Campaign highlights have included launching the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Service; increasing need-based financial aid through the Centennial Scholarship program; creating the first two endowed chairs in the University’s history; and establishing the Center for East Asian Studies. “‘The Power to Change’ is a bold title for a bold vision,” Battillo said. “We take tremendous pride in this campaign’s progress and in the tireless commitment of our extended Suffolk family. I call their contributions transforming gifts, as they literally transform the University in profound ways.”  �President’s Message Counseling Center Cites “Samaritans” Continued from page 1 One individual and two teams were selected to receive this year’s Samaritan Awards.  Service, with Attorney General Martha Coakley as keynote speaker. The Rappaport Center weaves together the Law School’s government, public policy, and public interest resources and initiatives as it advances opportunities for law students and lawyers to engage in public service. The Sawyer Business School added 20 new faculty members this year and has two exciting conferences planned: the Knowledge Globalization Conference in April and the Multi-Organizational Partnerships, Alliances and Networks (MOPAN) International Conference in June. The initiatives, ideas and commitment of the Suffolk University family are what make our institution thrive. As we begin this new year, I want to thank you for your efforts and your loyalty. Together we will continue to groom tomorrow’s leaders and make a positive impact on our city, nation and world. David J. Sargent President These awards, part of the University Counseling Center’s Action for Depression Awareness, Prevention, and Treatment (ADAPT) program, are presented each year to individuals or groups that propose projects, events and activities addressing issues related to depression prevention or treatment. President David J. Sargent presented awards of up to $1,000 to the winners so they can translate their ideas into action during the spring 2008 semester. Sodexho Goes Green The University’s dining facilities will discontinue use of Styrofoam products in response to a request from the Sustainability Task Force. The task force asked Sodexho, which manages the University’s food services, to replace Styrofoam with more sustainable materials that are not as environmentally compromising. Sodexho will use products produced from leftover manufacturing materials, such as paper scraps, in University dining facilities. The change will mean a small increase in the price of certain items, because the nonStyrofoam packaging has a higher per-unit price. Customers may be able to recoup some of this small price increase when Sodexho introduces a discount program for those who use reusable mugs or water bottles to purchase beverages.  T h e S UN is Publish ed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher 2 SUN Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark Samaritan Awards recipients “Raising Awareness and Taking Action: The Impact of Racism on Mental Health” was developed by Students Taking Action Against Racism (STAAR), a group founded by fourth-year clinical psychology doctorate students Shana Dangelo, Meredith Klump and Lauren Mizock.

Employees and students who had signed up for the service received notice of the early closing by telephone, cell phone, text message and/or e-mail in the late morning. “We had a 95 percent success rate for delivery to staff and students who had signed up, which is really good for the first time,” said Risk Manager Karen (Schwartz) Kruppa. “We want to encourage employees who haven’t taken advantage of this service to sign up through Human Resources.” An “Employee Change of Address/Contact Info” form is posted on the Human Resources page of the University’s Web site.  �Potpourri Walter Caffey, Enrollment and Retention Management, was named associate vice president.

The Suffolk University Children’s Theater Troupe—or Ready, Set, Act!—gave its premier performance last month at the Suffolk Family Holiday Celebration. The student actors wowed the crowd with an interactive interpretation of Aladdin. “There were children of all ages in the audience, and the expressions on their faces were priceless,” said April Duquette, a junior majoring in theater education who is president of Ready, Set, Act! “Some of them were even holding hands with cast members and asking them questions on their way down to the gymnasium for the holiday party. A lot of parents came up to me afterwards to say how much their children really enjoyed our show.” For Duquette, 20, who has been singing, dancing and acting since she was 7 years old, spearheading this new venture is a dream come true. “Two of my favorite things in the world are children and theater,” she exclaimed. “There is nothing better than putting both of your passions together as one.” Ready, Set, Act! is in its first year, although at one time the Performing Arts Office produced a children’s show each year. The new troupe will perform throughout the year. “The Performing Arts Office is very excited about the return of children’s theater,” said Performing Arts Director Kristin Baker. “We think this student-run performing group will provide meaningful student leadership opportunities in the arts Aladdin cast members Nat Steinsaltz, Jane Holmes and be a great benefit to the community. and Heather Maloney play to an appreciative crowd Plus, their shows are a lot of fun!” at the holiday party.

The group is currently working on a student-written piece targeting high school audiences. “We have fifteen to twenty students involved in the theater troupe, and while it’s a challenging job, we all share the work and receive great support from the Performing Arts Office,” said Duquette. “We have many creative and energetic people in the group who enjoy what we’re doing.”  Paine Scholarship Exhibit The 2007 Stephen D.

Rosenberg is the former chairman and chief executive officer of Bank of America and a 1952 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Barbara and Richard M. Rosenberg Institute for East Asian Studies will serve as the University’s lead platform for analyzing important major trends in East Asian culture, history, economics, and geopolitical alliances and initiatives. The Institute will promote exchanges among leading scholars, practitioners, and research and policy analysts through a series of major seminars each year around pertinent topics in East Asian Studies. “The world economy is shifting to Asia, and we hope the institute offers a more globally balanced presentation of the world,” said Richard Rosenberg. “We are tremendously grateful for Barbara and Richard Rosenberg’s vision and for the outstanding opportunities they are creating by establishing this institute,” said Kathryn L. Battillo, vice president of Advancement. “Through the Rosenbergs’ generosity, students will be prepared to properly engage in a region of great strategic and economic importance.” The History Department is training programs to enhance American history teaching skills. The Voices Rising project, now in its second year, is focused on teachers in grades 3, 5, 8 and high school.

The University will receive $20,000 in rebates from NStar. And the increased efficiency from these two buildings—which comprise 17 percent of the campus’ gross square footage—will save about $64,000 per year, a 50 percent savings in energy costs.  In terms of environmental impact, the two projects are projected to cut CO2 emissions by 250 tons.

Tri-City Technology Education Collaborative Executive Director Cynthia Fiducia also has received funding for a new program, Laptops in the American History Classroom, which increases teachers’ capacity for multi-media instruction. “These projects have enabled Suffolk University to forge productive and potentially long-term partnerships with area school districts,” said Reeve. “As a result, Suffolk University students will have increased opportunities for service learning in the commonwealth’s elementary and secondary classrooms. Over the three-year span of the Voices Rising project, 72 teachers will each receive 81 hours of intensive professional development. The project will directly impact more than 2,000 students in their classrooms. Partnering with Suffolk in this project are the University of Massachusetts at Lowell through the Tsongas Industrial History Center, the Boston National His­ torical Park, the Lowell National Historical Park, the Saugus Iron Works Historical Site and the Boston African American National Historical Site.  Professor Robert Allison demonstrates a point about history. (Photo by Robert Simpson) 4 SUN Center for Teaching Excellence The Whole Is Greater than the Parts There are many myths in higher education. One of the most prevalent is the image of the professor as an independent teacher and scholar working long, lonely hours. The reality is that we all need to work with others to accomplish our goals for student learning. We know that professionals learn and grow when they come together in “communities of practice.” Communities of practice are composed of professionals who meet together to explore beliefs, assumptions and practice around teaching with the goal of understanding and improving learning and practice. By working together with like-minded professionals, we not only add to our knowledge base, but can actually reorganize and create new knowledge through interactions with others. This philosophy of “communities of practice” is the overarching philosophy of the Center for Teaching Excellence. The CTE began the fall with a series of programs designed to bring faculty together to talk about teaching, learn from each other and explore the literature on best practices. CTE offered Teaching Excellence Workshops, New Faculty Seminars and New Faculty Orientation. We’ve also had faculty reading groups, teaching circles, afternoon teas and consultations. We’ve introduced a Mid-Term Feedback program and will videotape classes for consultation with a colleague. In the spring semester we will sponsor our third annual University Wide Teaching Luncheon and will introduce Friday Afternoon at the Movies—a series of films about teaching, complete with popcorn and soda. We invite you to drop by the twelfth floor of 73 Tremont St. to join your colleagues in a community of practice. Donna Qualters Director, Center for Teaching Excellence Wireless Access Now Available on Campus The University has gone wireless, and it is now possible to connect to network resources and the Internet through more than 400 access points in 15 buildings around campus. Wireless connectivity also is available in Alumni Park on Temple Street, and students, faculty, staff and guests have been able to sit outside and access the University’s network resources while basking in the extended warm weather of this fall.

Suffolk’s newly appointed Operating Director of Healthcare Programs is spearheading a campaign that would prohibit vehicles from idling on any school property in Massachusetts. Sen. Benjamin B. Downing (D-Pittsfield) and Rep. Stephen R. Canessa (D-New Bedford), a Suffolk alumnus who had Gregg as a professor, recently filed a bill, “An Act to Improve School Campus Air Quality,” with 48 cosponsors. “Years ago, we banned the use of tobacco products and eliminated secondhand smoke from all school properties in Massachusetts,” said Gregg. “Now it’s time to ban unnecessary engine idling. This is the best way to ensure clean and healthy air for our schoolchildren, teachers, staff and school bus drivers.” Gregg’s mission began one day in 2001 in Lenox while he was waiting for his daughter and son outside of their school. His vehicle was shut off, but other parents sat in their cars with the engines running. Gregg soon noticed that people all over town were idling their cars for long periods. “What comes out of that tailpipe isn’t called pollution for nothing,” stated Gregg. “It is highly toxic for both human health and the environment, and many of the chemicals are identical to those in tobacco smoke. Motor vehicle exhaust can cause a variety of respiratory ailments, and exhaust from diesel vehicles has been linked to lung cancer.” Gregg, a healthcare professional and environmental activist for much of his life, Continued on page 3 Making Strides in Campus Development The Boston Redevelopment Authority, BRA, has approved tentative designation of the University as the redeveloper of the Modern Theater building at 523–525 Washington St., bringing the campus a step closer to meeting the housing needs of students. The University plans to develop the Modern Theater as a 150-to-200-bed student residence hall. The facade will be restored, and a first-floor gallery and performance center will bring back the tradition of offering cultural activities at the site. “Approval of the Modern Theater renovation moves us closer to our goal of housing 50 percent of our students,” said John Nucci, vice president of Government and Community Affairs, who has worked closely with the city of Boston and with neighborhood groups to bring the University’s plans to fruition. “In addition to the cultural contribution the renovated Modern Theater will bring to an important downtown historic area, the presence of our students will support the continued vigor of the Downtown Crossing area.” While the University initially had sought to convert the former MDC headquarters at 20 Somerset Street into a residence hall, concerns among Beacon Hill neighbors led planners back to the drawing board. In a matter of months, the focus turned to the Ladder District. Continued on page 3 The 2007 Deans’ Reception Law Professor Charles Kindregan, second from right, celebrating 40 years of distinguished service to the University, was joined by his daughter Patricia and son Chad and Law Professor Richard Vacco and his wife, Jean, at the Deans’ Reception at the Museum of Fine Arts, an annual event honoring faculty, administrators and staff.

The play is inspired by the books A Terrible Love of War, by James Hillman; War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning and What Every Person Should Know About War, by Chris Hedges; and The Psychology of War: Comprehending its Mystique and its Madness, by Lawrence LeShan. The production raises questions about how we make war “normal,” whether war is an inevitable and fundamental part of the human condition, and whether our impulse for war can ever be tamed.  This theatrical event incorporates mythology, stage combat, live music and a sweeping array of personal accounts to explore the contradictory nature of war within all of us. Shrapnel will be at the Studio Theatre Thursday, Nov. 15, through Sunday, Nov. 18, 2007. Musical Premieres in New York The Boston Music Theatre Project’s Crossing Brooklyn opened in New York to rave reviews. The musical, originally titled Begin Again, was developed in residence at the University by Theatre Department Chair Marilyn Plotkins. It is at the Transport Group Oct. 19–Nov. 18, 2007. Crossing Brooklyn is a post-September 11 love story set in New York City. It concerns a young couple, dedicated public school teachers full of hopes and dreams. After the events of September 11 tear their world apart they struggle to find their way back to each other. The lessons they learn through the children they meet change them forever. Crossing Brooklyn was first developed with composer Jenny Giering, librettist Laura Harrington and Plotkins in two fall residencies at Suffolk as part of the Boston Music Theatre Project. The workshop production premiered with a Suffolk student ensemble in the Studio Theatre in spring 2006. Additional Faculty projects Assistant Professor/Set Designer Richard Chambers is in pre-production for Stoneham Theatre’s production of Antoine Feval, which performs in January. • Assistant Professor Caitlin Langstaff performed in A Baker’s Dozen in October at the Friends Meeting House in Cambridge. • Theatre Department Technical Director Steve McIntosh was sound designer for Boston Playwrights’ Theatre production of The Devil’s Teacup. He also designed the sound for The Nora Theatre’s production of The Secret Love Life of Ophelia, directed by Associate Professor Wesley Savick. • Plotkins led a panel discussion at the National Alliance for Music Theatre’s annual conference in New York in October. Other panelists included directors of musical theatre programs from Baldwin Wallace University, Boston Conservatory, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Michigan and former Boston Music Theatre Project composer Mel Marvin. Marvin teaches at New York University’s Tisch graduate program in musical theater writing and recently composed the scores to the Broadway musicals Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Cymbeline.  • Gallery Roundup 2007 Coward Lecture Ozpirations Sawyer Business School Executive-in- The gallery at the New England School of Art & Design presents Ozspirations, art inspired by The Wizard of Oz.

(Photo by John Gillooly) Idle Pollution Continued from page 1 knew that something had to be done. After two years of his hard work, Lenox adopted a resolution declaring it an “idle-free” community. Gregg and colleagues from the Lenox Environmental Committee launched an education initiative, tacking up posters and handing out fliers throughout the town. A 35-year-old Massachusetts law prohibits idling a vehicle in excess of five minutes. It is estimated that more than one million people would be protected by the newly proposed legislation banning all unnecessary idling on school grounds. Violators would face a $100 fine for the first offense and a $500 fine for subsequent offenses. “The goal of our “idle-free” efforts is to raise awareness for people of all ages and from all walks of life about the need to keep our air clean and healthy. And it’s working.” said Gregg, chairman of the American Lung Association of Massachusetts’ “Idle-Free” Massachusetts Campaign. “Look, I’m passionate about clean air and the environment, and I feel it’s my obligation to help preserve them in every possible way. We all need to work together to make this world a healthier and Richard Gregg better place to live.”  Artist’s conception of the 10 West St. residence hall. The Modern Theater is to the left. Expanding Campus Continued from page 1 Neighborhood residents initially opposed an initiative to convert 10 West St. to a residence hall with first-floor retail space, but the University worked closely with them to allay any fears. In the end, interested residents reached unanimous agreement on the University’s plan. “We’ve had great cooperation from the city and the neighbors, and the approval process moved fairly quickly,” said Nucci. The University, a commuter school little more than a decade ago, now houses more than 750 students in its two existing residence halls. The apartment-style residence hall to open at 10 West St. in January will add 274 student beds. It directly abuts the Modern Theater building, which will be developed over several years. Meanwhile, plans are moving forward to bring the New England School of Art & Design to the 20 Somerset site, along with some science classrooms. “Developing this new facility gives us a great opportunity to design something from scratch to meet our needs,” said New England School of Art & Design Chairman William Davis. The school’s lease at 75 Arlington St. is up in 2010, and the move to Beacon Hill will offer the school proximity to the College along with improved visibility. The various University development efforts are part of a 10-year master planning process, said Nucci. A master plan spelling out the University’s expansion needs and goals will be submitted to the city in January 2008.  November 2007 3 �Forty-Year Honorees Paul Ezust, professor/chair, Math and Computer Science Frank A.

Formerly under the umbrella of the Facilities Planning and Management Department, the Office of Environmental Health & Safety is now part of the Budget and Risk Management Department. “I’m so pleased to have Kerry and Erik working on Environmental Health and Safety here at Suffolk because they are very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with,” said Director of Budget and Risk Management Maureen Stewart. “In the few months Kerry LaRoche and Erik Francis they’ve been on board, they’ve developed relationships (Photo by John Gillooly) with the lab staff, responded to environmental issues in various buildings, and developed bloodborne pathogen and floor warden training programs.” The Office of Environmental Health & Safety is an important and valuable resource that people can rely on when facing dangerous or potentially dangerous situations. Since arriving at Suffolk earlier this year, LaRoche and Francis have worked closely together in spreading the word about how helpful they can become in a time of need. Said LaRoche: “Our purpose is to provide all students, faculty and staff with general health and safety knowledge, emergency contact information, emergency procedures and guidelines, and hazard awareness. We’re responsible for promoting a total safety culture in order to prevent accidents, injuries and illnesses, and we’re committed to taking the necessary steps to comply with state, federal and local regulations.” As part of their outreach efforts, LaRoche and Francis have created a New Employee Orientation PowerPoint presentation, which is in the Human Resources New Employee Handbook. By the end of the year, safety training meetings will be offered to faculty, administrators and staff in the College of Arts & Sciences, where a safety officer has already been designated for each department. LaRoche and Francis frequently visit the Archer Building, where the biology, chemistry and physics labs are located, because of its chemical-populated environment. They also keep close tabs on the fourth floor of the Ridgeway Building, where chemicals are used in the photo lab, and on the acrylic paint supplies and electrical machines at the New England School of Art & Design. LaRoche and Francis also work closely on day-to-day operations with the Facilities Department. “We’re trying to change the culture by getting our name out there and letting people know that we’re here to help,” said Francis. “Our number one priority is the health and safety of all our employees, and we’re always reminding them to ‘think before you act’ when a potential emergency situation occurs.”  � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One option under consideration would move the New England School of Art & Design, now on Arlington Street, to 20 Somerset St. Meanwhile, the University is working with the Boston Redevelopment Authority on a proposal to convert the former Modern Theater to a residence hall. The renovation also would create a theater/performance center in the building. The City of Boston Zoning Commission unanimously approved the University’s proposal for its third residence hall, at 10 West St., during a public hearing early this month. Representatives from the mayor’s office went on record as supporting the project at the hearing. This fall, the College of Arts and Sciences rolled out what Dean Kenneth S. Greenberg called “the most signifi­ ant curricu­um change c l in the history of the College.” The radically revamped curriculum includes new and more demanding courses, more opportunity to connect theory with practice and a better way for students to adjust more quickly to college life. “These changes preserve the best of the College’s old curriculum while introducing new elements that will make our offerings competitive with the best liberal arts colleges in the country,” said Dean Greenberg, who led the four-year process that engaged both faculty and students. The most apparent change is the conversion of courses from three credits to four. According to Dean Greenberg, this will allow students more opportunity—and faculty more time—to dig deeper into subject matter. Continued on page 8 Continued on page 2 Reengineering the BSBA Degree The Sawyer Business School has unveiled a new curriculum for its Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree. The new curriculum provides business students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed as future global business leaders, and the significant changes will help “build one of the best BSBA programs in Boston,” said Dean William J. O’Neill The curriculum, developed by a team of Business School faculty, led by Assistant Continued on page 2 The PEZ Collector Michaela Masi purchased a few PEZ dispensers less than three years ago.

Page 6 (Photo by John Gillooly) �Changing Course College Unveils New Curriculum Continued from page 1 Incoming freshmen will now select a faculty adviser for their first year, based upon their choice of one of more than 50 new Freshman Seminars. These broadly focused courses present an opportunity for freshmen to engage in critical think­ng and include such choices i as “Poverty and Inequality,” “Philosophy of Art and Beauty,” “Science in the Ancient World,” and “The Problem of Freedom.” Freshman Seminar class sizes have been kept small so that advisers can get to know their students quickly and better guide them during their crucial first year in college. A new requirement called the Extended Classroom Experience will ensure that all students have an opportunity to connect theoretical with practical knowledge. Students may choose to study abroad, complete an internship in Congress or the State House, volunteer in museums and soup kitchens or engage in an extensive assortment of other activities linking their class work to the outside world.  This image is among the Thomas Gearty photos selected for the project benefiting the National Braille Press. A “Vision” for the Blind Thomas Gearty, senior development writer for the Office of Advancement, is collaborating on a unique project to benefit the National Braille Press. Gearty, who also is a fine art photo­ grapher, is working with 15 writers and poets, each of whom have selected one of his photographs as the point of departure for writing a brief vignette or poem. The National Braille Press will then print their words into the surface of the image in Braille. The resulting works offer two different experiences for both the sighted and the blind built around touching and seeing the overlapping “visions.” The project will be included in an event at the Museum of Fine Arts in early October and featured at the National Braille Press’s annual Hands On gala, hosted by Jay Leno, on Oct. 26 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston.  T h e S UN is publish ed by: Office of Public Affairs 73 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02108 617-573-8447 Managing Editor Nancy Kelleher 2 SUN Staff Writers Karen DeCilio Tony Ferullo Design Heather Clark Reengineering the BSBA Degree Continued from page 1 Professor of Marketing Catherine McCabe, Associate Professor of Management Laurie Levesque and Associate Dean Morris McInnes, focuses on leadership, innovation, networking, knowledge and service (or LINKS). Students are introduced to the foundations of business during their freshman and sophomore years. The curriculum and cohort experiences center around six themes: globalization, ethics and corporate social responsibility, diversity, leadership, teamwork and networking. Cohort experiences allow students to connect with their classmates around specific topics. For example, “SU 101 — The Freshman Experience” introduces students to the culture and diversity of Boston and the Suffolk Community. Later, students will learn about the city on the Boston Duck Tours while analyzing a case study of Boston Duck Tours in their Business Foundations class. And Boston Duck Tours CEO Cindy Brown will speak to students about the company’s challenges and opportunities. One of the highlights of the new curriculum is the online portfolio, or e-portfolio. Students build and maintain this Web-based repository of knowledge throughout their Suffolk careers. They can post writing samples, video clips, papers, case analyses and reflective pieces about learning experiences while traveling or completing internships. In the junior year, each student can create a personal Web page that will serve as a means to present themselves effectively to prospective employers. “Reengineering the BSBA curriculum was an enormous task that involved administrators, faculty, students, department chairs and advisory boards,” said O’Neill. “We appreciate their hard work and feel that these changes will significantly enhance our undergraduate student experience and prepare students for the real world of business upon graduation.”  Suffolk Arts+Sciences Premieres The College of Arts & Sciences alumni magazine, Suffolk Arts+Sciences, made its debut this summer. The magazine is a new annual publication produced by the College dean’s office in collaboration with faculty, staff and students. An online version of the magazine is available at http:// www.suffolk.edu/college/22239.html. �Gallery Roundup Adams Gallery The Adams Gallery will feature the following exhibits in 2007–2008.  • October 2007–January 2008, From Dairy to Doorstep: Milk Delivery in New England, 1860–1960.

Powell uses the power of projected light to turn a space, such as an ordinary wall, into a canvas, where he can project colors and shapes to create art and a deeper meaning. The light installation at the 75 Arlington St. gallery involves spectators in the artistic process through the use of four projectors attached to a motion sensor. A complete image will be projected only when all four sensors are activated. Over the course of his long career Powell has worked with a wide range of light-based media, including holography, fire and light projections, using them in settings ranging from the sides of buildings to underwater. Powell’s work includes the permanent lighting installation John Powell creates art of the Evelyn Moakley Bridge in the Fort Point Channel and with color and light in The the lighting for the Larz Anderson Bridge, the Weeks Memorial Ellipse Series exhibit at Footbridge and the Western Avenue Bridge on the Charles River. the New England School The exhibit is curated by interim NESADSU gallery director of Art & Design James Manning.  Dining in at 73 Tremont St. A new café is expected to open in the Stahl Center this month to serve the growing community at 73 Tremont St. The second-floor dining area is described as a “grab and go” operation by Tom Fuller of Sodexho, which operates the facility. The café serves bagels, muffins, salads, sandwiches, coffee and bottled beverages. A small dining area overlooks the Granary Burial Ground.  September 20 07 3 �University Cited for Research Productivity Suffolk University was cited for its scholarly productivity in the areas of Business, Education, and Social Sciences, by Academic Analytics. The University was listed by Academic Analytics as one of the “Top 20 Special­ ized Research Universities — Business, Education & Social Sciences.” Academic Analytics measures the scholarly productivity of faculty based on their publications, citations, and financial and honorary awards. Programs, not individual faculty, are rated and are aggregated to produce rankings of whole universities.  “One of the greatest challenges for academia has been finding a way to measure and evaluate that scholarly — as distinct from teaching — productivity,” said Lawrence Martin, chief scientific consultant to Academic Analytics. “The Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index allows university leadership for the first time to get a clear picture of the comparative scholarly strength and vitality of their doctoral programs relative to others on an annual basis.” In its second year of analysis, the FSP Index has expanded its data-gathering program to include information from nearly 200,000 faculty members based at 354 institutions and representing 118 academic disciplines in nearly 7,300 Ph.D. programs throughout the country. In all, the FSP Index research matched those faculty to more than 15,000 books authored by slightly more than 9,500 faculty, more than 1 million journal articles, almost 7 million citations, over 6,000 awards and honors and more than 83,000 federal research grants. Academic Analytics, founded in 2005, is the result of collaboration between faculty and researchers at the Stony Brook University and Educational Directories Unlimited.  University Makes Princeton Review “Best” Book The University has once again been named a Princeton Review “Best College,” because it offers students an outstanding under­ raduate g education. Suffolk University is featured in the 2008 edition of Princeton Review’s annual book, “Best 366 Colleges.” This is the fourth consecutive year that the University has made the list. The two-page profile of the University discusses academics, campus life, the student body and admissions. Here’s what students had to say about academics in the University profile: …“A small classroom university in the heart of a big city,” Boston’s Suffolk University “is small enough that you actually recognize students from their pictures in the admissions booklets [and] big enough to attract national speakers like George Bush Sr.” …Academic life on the home campus “includes “down-to-earth professors” who “are always available outside of class and are very helpful” and the Ballotti Learning Center, which “offers extra help to students who want or need it.” …Academics are “incredibly student oriented” here, “The student and [his or her] concerns come first.”  Faculty Publications Eric Blumenson, Law School.

September 20 07 5 �The PEZ Collector Michaela Masi knows something about character building. Evidence of that can be found in her personal collection of more than 500 PEZ dispensers, those popular candy-toy creations that have been part of American pop culture for about 50 years. You name the character, and Masi has it —everyone from Batman, Big Bird and Elvis to Donald Duck, Fred Flintstone and Snow White. Her PEZ figures, which in­­ clude a bride and groom from Slovenia, range in size from traditionally small to gi­ an­ ic, and some of them even talk and g t play music. In order to keep track of her prized collection, she has put together a detailed catalog that she updates regularly upon purchasing or receiving a new gem. “There are a few people who think I’m a little crazy, but that’s OK,” said Masi, director of Annual & Leadership Giving in the Advancement Office. “For me, it’s just a fun hobby. I love the challenge of finding new PEZ to add to my collection.” A little over two years ago, while shopping on Newbury Street, Masi casually spotted a wall of PEZ dispensers in a candy store. She was working in the Advancement Office at Simmons College at the time and decided to buy a few PEZ as a good-natured gesture for her staff. She also bought one for herself, Fozzie Bear of The Muppets. Suffolk in the News Shortly after noticing Fozzie Bear on her desk, Masi’s friend, Hillary, presented her with a number of other PEZ characters as a gift. “She got it all started,” said Masi, 31. “I had about a dozen of them at first, and then people at work began giving them to me, some­ imes bags of them after cleant ing out their homes. It kind of snowballed from there.” In addition to her many assorted characters, Masi owns other PEZ-related items, such as a mug, flashlight, key ring, snow globe, lunch box, T-shirt and a street sign: PEZ COLLECTOR PL. She is a self-proclaimed PEZ purist, loading the dispensers with the tiny candy provided in each package. “Some PEZ collectors feel strongly about preserving the original packaging— I disagree,” she said. “If I’m going to collect PEZ, I’m going to enjoy them and the candy, too!” Masi, who received her undergraduate degree in psychology from the College of the Holy Cross in 1998, was in her glory recently while visiting a PEZ Museum in Pennsylvania. “It was a neat place to visit,” she said. “I was excited to see that I had a lot of the PEZ’s that they had on display.” Masi, an avid tennis player and Red Sox fan, says she is always searching for a new PEZ character. “Right now I’m on the look­ ut for the Pink Panther,” she said with o a smile.  Suffolk University faculty, staff, stu­ ents and programs are featured regud larly in local and national media.

It’s really the first step in helping them succeed.”  Qualters said that adjuncts’ need for community is, in some ways, even more important. “Across the United States now, more and more of the teaching is being done by adjuncts, who often come in, teach and leave,” she said. “Some make their living by going from college to college, almost a gypsy existence. Again, by letting them know in a tangible way that the institution is interested in them, that their work is important, and that there are people available to help them navigate the envi­ onment provides the climate to keep the best teachers r and help the newer teachers become the best.” New Faculty Orientation began with a welcome and break­­ fast, before breaking out for panel discussions and “Great Teaching” workshops. Christina DiRico and Donna Qualters of the Center for Teaching Excellence. (Photo by John Gillooly) A “Speed Dating” component allowed faculty to quickly meet key people in support roles across campus, from librarians and academic support staff to designers and information tech­ nology professionals. The orientation ended with a wine and cheese reception. The new faculty members mingled with the adjunct faculty who were arriving for the evening sessions. The adjunct get-together featured workshops on “Classroom Assessment” and “Balancing Professional Responsi­ ilities with b Teaching,” presented by a seasoned adjunct professor, Judge Isaac Borenstein. About 60 adjunct faculty members from all three schools attended.  Professors Spearhead Green Education Initiatives Given the anticipated needs of a burgeoning world population and the reality of global warming, green education has captured the interest of students, and faculty members across the University are creating programs to fuel the interest in sustainability. “This is the century of the environment,” said Patricia Hogan, associate professor in the Physics Department and director of the Environmental Engineering program. “The time to debate is over; it’s time to act.” Sustainability initiatives have attracted a wide range of students, from art and design majors to those studying the sciences. Among the projects and programs that are preparing students for the environmental sustainability challenge: • An Environmental Engineering Program in the Physics Department that is incorporating principles of sustainable design into all levels of engineering coursework. Hogan is developing a green engineering course for seniors that will be piloted in 2008. • The incorporation of green chemistry into the Organic Chemistry Laboratory curriculum. • A Sustainable Design for Interiors course at the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University that teaches the principles, theory and practice of sustainable design in structures and spaces. A core science course on sustainable design offered by the Environmental Engineering Program for non-science majors, “The Built World: How Humans Engineer Environments.” • The appointment of Erica Mattison as a special projects co­ r­ in­ tor for Campus Sustainability to coordinate od a the campus recycling program and staff an energyefficiency initiative. • Outreach to elementary and middle school students involving hands-on projects, using funding obtained by the Environmental Engineering Program. These projects involve multi-disciplinary teams of Suffolk engineering, science, and design students. “Students trained in sustainability at Suffolk University will be vital to our future, no matter what career path they choose,” said Denyce Wicht, assistant professor of chemistry, whose research interests involve creating novel green chemistry experiments that can be used for green organic chemistry laboratory courses.  Wicht, Hogan and Karen Clarke, co-program director of the Interior Design Department, who teaches Sustainable Design for Interiors at the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University, have brought their commitment to sustainability to a wider audience through presentations and professional affiliations.  • September 20 07 7 �Deans’ Reception The Deans’ Reception, a traditional and festive event that brings people throughout the University community together, will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, 2007, at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The University’s Service Award Program will recognize numerous colleagues on their tenth, twentieth, thirtieth and fortieth anniver­ saries of dedication to Suffolk University.  National Reading Campaign The University’s service organization, S.O.U.L.S., in partnership with Jumpstart, participated in Read for the Record, a national campaign by Jumpstart designed to encourage hundreds of thousands of children and adults from across the United States to read the same book on the same day. The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf, was read on Sept. 20 in an effort to raise public awareness about significant disparities in early education as well as raise money to support Jumpstart’s national early education programs. Suffolk students, faculty, and staff participated in the reading event from 4 to 5 p.m. at the North End Branch Library, 25 Parmenter St., Boston. The University community also may contribute online at www.readfortherecord. com. Jumpstart was looking to break its previous record for the largest shared reading experience, which was set by 150,000 people on Aug. 24, 2006, during the inaugural Read for the Record campaign.   For more information, contact Kelly Melcher, site manager of Jumpstart, at the S.O.U.L.S. office Ext. 6387 or by e-mail kmelcher@ suffolk.edu  8 SUN New Student Academic Convocation: A Welcoming Tradition Management Professor Magid Mazen, Assistant Professor of Finance Khaled Amira, Professor Bea Snow of Biology and Campus Minister Amy Fisher process alongside the students at the New Student Academic Convocation held at Converse Hall, Tremont Temple on Sept. 4.
