Alumna Builds Camp of Memories: Melissa Mooney ’03 Students from Saint Anselm, past and present, make the trip to Mississippi to volunteer during Spring Break Alternative. For one fine arts graduate, Melissa Mooney, SBA Mississippi uncovered a passion for service that has brought her back to Camp Glenmary every summer since her sophomore year. As an SBA volunteer, the Webster, Mass., native combined efforts with fellow students to help clear brush, build tent platforms, and paint the pavilion at the summer camp in rural Mississippi. Due to their hard work, Camp Glenmary was able to provide underprivileged children with a fun-filled summer they otherwise would not have experienced. Now a quality assurance specialist at John Hancock Life Insurance in Boston, Mooney continues her own tradition of service. She has been involved in projects in the Boston area and faithfully exchanges her sick days to return to the camp every June. Now in her eighth year, Melissa considers herself more fortunate than the campers to be part of Camp Glenmary. “While I was a student, Camp was an extension of Saint A’s, a strong community that provided an opportunity to learn outside the classroom. As an alumna, Camp is now part of my life and I would not want it any other way.” 52

He’s Big on Tiny Cells: Sean Beausoleil ’01 Sean Beausoleil looks at proteins: thousands of them at a time. As a research scientist at Cell Signaling Technology, he tries to understand how these proteins work differently in normal and abnormal cells. Ultimately, this basic science research may have applications in treating disease. Growing up in Goffstown, where his mother worked in the Department of Nursing, Beausoleil used to ride his bicycle around the Saint Anselm campus. He liked science and liked working with hands, so he considered becoming a doctor. But in biochemistry classes, and in his professors’ labs, he realized the possibilities that existed in doing research “Professor Vallari exposed us to projects in his lab and took us to see large-scale research,” says Beausoleil. “I realized it was really problem solving and working with your hands, manipulating things you can’t see.” He was accepted to graduate school at Harvard University and completed three years of postdoctoral studies there. He now has his own “bench” at the 12-year-old Danvers biological research firm. Cancer is a big focus at Cell Signaling, but their research can be applied to many other conditions. Beausoleil’s interest in science is not confined to the lab. He likes to vacation in remote places where he can fly fish or go scuba diving or both. An avid fly fisherman, he travels to Honduras, Colorado, Ontario, Maine, and, of course, his beloved home state. Fortunately, living in Beverly, Mass., affords him plenty of opportunity to fish for stripers and bluefin tuna on miles of coastline.
