Australian politics are tough. A 1991 Dayton grad, born in Ohio, has risen to be premier of the country’s largest state. Her path to the top is inextricably tied to her Catholicism.

OPENING COMMENTS

Amazing grace When each of us came first to Dayton, we came holding hopes for our futures. But we did not know what those futures would hold.

When Kristina Kerscher came from Toledo to Dayton as a student 20-some years ago, she was not planning to live in Australia; but you can read in this issue about her now being premier of that country’s largest state. When I came to Dayton in 1967, I was not planning to edit and write about the University of Dayton for most of my life. My wife, Suzanne, and I intended to stay here for a year while she finished her education degree and I picked up teaching experience in UD’s English department. Then we were going to move on somewhere with me continuing work on a doctoral degree.

My wife got her UD degree. I got my experience; teaching in the late 1960s was certainly an experience. But by 1973, I was no longer teaching, no longer pursuing a Ph.D. And we were still in Dayton.

Decades have passed. I’ve written and edited much. Suzanne has acquired two more degrees and a career in health care. We have marveled at the births of our children, rejoiced at weddings and marveled again at the births of grandchildren.

Our joys and sorrows have been shared by colleagues at this wondrous place, this University of Dayton. These people have enhanced the exhilaration of success; and, when plans have collapsed, they have made life livable.

One vivid memory of the community of my colleagues is of some of them sitting around my dining room table as we planned an issue of this periodical. While we talked, my younger son came home from high school, greeted us all and went off to do the things that 15-yearolds do. Less than a month later, he died. I still have my notes and story plans from that meeting. And I have the memories of the community that supported and support our family.

This space has often spoken of death and community and love and the grace of God that holds it all together. Our first words here in 1991, reacting to the death of longtime president Father Raymond A. Roesch, S.M., were “amazing grace.”

And it is indeed amazing.

Today, the future, as ever, is uncertain. The world worries about money. In my professional world, lovers of Catholic universities worry about secularization of those institutions. Faculties worry about communities of scholars losing their souls to corporatization.

We all have our fears.

We might think of Mary’s fears when an angel told her she was going to become the mother of God. Or her fears at the foot of the cross when her dying son told her that the disciple who loved him was now her son and she, his mother. We might think of the fear of the disciples before Pentecost. And what of their fears at Pentecost itself? And in the millennia that have followed?

But, the wonder of it all is that grace will surely see us through.

PHYSICAL THERAPY Variation affects function. That’s the concept Phil Anloague, director of the doctor of physical therapy program, illustrates with these thoracic vertebrae from a whale, bison, deer and human that sit on a shelf in his office.

Anatomical variations in our bodies help explain some common problems such as back pain, he said. “It’s like the alignment in your car. If something is asymetrical, it wears out.”

With all of the attention on the NIT championship trophy, we just wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that the Blackburn McCafferty Trophy is here in Dayton, too. The Flyers most recently took possession of the trophy, which has been passed back and forth between UD and Xavier since 1981, after UD’s 90 65 win over the Musketeers in UD Arena Feb. 6. Don’t get us wrong — the NIT trophy is pretty cool too.

Mayans believed that if you whispered your worries to special dolls at night, these “worry dolls” would have taken your worries away by morning, says artist Leesa Haapapuro. At ArtSreet this spring, she brought this concept and the idea “that the process of making frees the mind — you write your worry on the paper that makes up the heart and head, then as you wrap/bind, your worries go away.”

Jane Austen fans converged on the University of Dayton in mid May for polite conversation about the author, her works and her times. The event, partially funded by a grant from the Jane Austen Society of North America, included an illustrated presentation on “Love in the Shrubbery: In the Garden with Jane Austen,” a high tea luncheon and an English country dance workshop.

Architect Bruce John Graham once said that he had never seen a building more than 10 stories tall before he traveled to the United States. In 1943, Graham was 15 and living in Puerto Rico when he won a scholarship to UD to study engineering. He stayed just more than a year before enlisting in the Navy and later going on to study architecture. Graham’s most visible legacy stands high above Chicago: the 100 story Hancock Center and the 110 story Sears Tower (now the Willis Tower), the world’s tallest building when it was completed in 1974. Graham died March 6. He was 84.

John Collins Englehardt has bred and owned Thoroughbreds for 18 years. In an exhibit at Roesch Library in June, he offered a look at the track through his lens.

Englehardt has served as track photographer at Beulah Park in Grove City, Ohio; as chief photographer and columnist for Ohio Thoroughbred Magazine; and as assistant photographer at Keeneland Race Course for Lang Photography in Lexington, Ky.

Cheaper than repellant spray and more effective than a cardboard cut out of a fake dog, Sadie the Australian cattle dog is streaking across campus to chase off the geese that cause damage to fields, walkways and other features.

She belongs to Andy Robillard, hardscape manager in facilities management, who brings her in an average of three days a week.

She’s at his side in the office and at meetings, to the complaints of no one. “She changes the mood of the office,” said Robillard. “She just opens people up.” And, he adds, she loves her work.

“It’s to the point that I have to drag her to the truck to get her home.”

When Le Moyne College in Syracuse, N.Y., wanted to do something special for its 40th annual Dolphy Day, it turned to UD visual arts associate professor Kyle Phelps and his brother, Kelly, to create a life size bronze statue of Eric Dolphy, the jazz saxophonist whose music has become the event’s soundtrack.

And just what is Dolphy Day? Hard to explain, but the date is kept secret until the day of the event, it’s announced by fireworks set off in the middle of the night, and it always happens the first warm day of spring. Sounds like a nice time to sit in the sun and listen to some jazz.

EXPERT INSTRUCTION

How to write a topical joke …

Writing topical material is a volume business. I write 50-60 jokes a day for Dave Letterman, and on a great day, he puts 10 on cue cards and ends up doing five that night. And every day is not a great day.

So, how do you write a topical joke? Woody Allen said this about writing monologues: “If you can do it, there’s nothing to it.”

Really, what does he know? A lot, apparently.

And if not, just stick the word “Octomom” or “Regis” at the end. Because, who are we kidding?

“Regis” is funny. Say it. No, better yet. Take two gulps of water, don’t swallow, now say it. Huh? Funny? Do I know what I’m talking about? Come on.

Give it to me.

—Bill Scheft

Okay, let’s begin. It’s very simple. Simple, not easy. You pretend your brain has doublestick tape around it. You pick a celebrity, someone universal with a lot of baggage, and free associate. Topics, words, phrases start to stick to the tape. Pick one you like and free associate off that. More words, more phrases stick to the tape.

Repeat and get more specific free associating. Keep doing that, boiling it down. Eventually, you can see the connection between each step. Add some attitude, some nonsense logic, and you’ve got a joke.

I’ll demonstrate the process with one of my all-time favorite jokes involving one of the most bountiful celebrity sources, Michael Jackson. I wrote it 15 years ago and he’s dead now, but why should that stop us? Michael Jackson ... plastic surgery ... lives with a chimp ... sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber ... ... Elizabeth Taylor ... loser brother Tito. OK, I pick plastic surgery. Lot of nose jobs ... chin ... mouth ... eyes ... skin bleaching ... looks like Diana Ross. OK, I pick lot of nose jobs. Too many ... had like nine ... should have stopped at, like, two ... hmm ... should have stopped at two.

Who else should have stopped at two?

Wait, here we go. Have you seen Michael Jackson lately? You know, I feel the same way about Michael Jackson’s nose jobs as I do about Godfather movies: They should have stopped at two.

That’s the drill. Gather people, places, things, arraignments, pharmaceuticals and try to logically free-associate off them. Eventually, it congeals into something resembling a joke.

Bill Scheft is the author of three books, including Everything Hurts, the story of a writer trying to rid himself of a psychosomatic limp. Scheft has been a monologue writer for David Letterman since 1991 and blogs at billscheft.com. In April, he was a keynote speaker at the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop.

Photo by Karen Walrond, who joined Scheft as a faculty member at the 2010 Bombeck Workshop. Walrond is the author of The Beauty of Different, scheduled for release in Fall 2010 by Bright Sky Press. She is the writer, photographer and creative mind behind the award-winning blog Chookooloonks.com.

The Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop, held every two years on campus, honors the legacy of Erma Bombeck ’49 by encouraging writers with the same message that professor Brother Tom Price, S.M., used to encourage Bombeck when she was a student at UD: “You can write.”

Media Hit (archival edition) A March 2, 1935, Associated Press story: “Two widely known Ohio collegiate fencers engaged in an impromptu match with sabers last night, and today one of them, Robert Zolg, of the University of Dayton, is near death. His opponent’s saber, hospital attendants reported, went entirely through his chest, puncturing one lung.

“Zolg, with Larry Libecap of the University of Cincinnati, had gone to the Building Industries gymnasium. Libecap said later several collegiate acquaintances suggested an informal ‘tournament.’ Both veterans of the art — they were co-captains of Dayton’s fencing team in 1933 — they chose sabers, he said.

“The points bent double to lessen the danger of injury, Libecap’s sword apparently glanced from Zolg’s arm, and in a lunge, pierced the right chest wall, emerging at the other side.”

Zolg, who graduated in 1933 with a fine arts degree, survived his wounds and lived into the 21st century, dying in 2002 at the age of 91.

The last game of their 25-14 senior season was a 79-68 win over North Carolina in the championship game of the 2010 National Invitation Tournament. Also winning 25 games (along with eight losses) was the women’s basketball team as it made the program’s first NCAA Division I Tournament appearance and won the program’s first NCAA Division I Tournament game.

By Father François Rossier, S.M. hree stories tell how the Catholic, Marianist institution that is the Uni-

versity of Dayton came to be what it is today. To know what we are, we must look at the Marianist story, the

Catholic story and the story of the University of Dayton itself.

The Marianist story begins with Blessed

William Joseph Chaminade, exiled to Spain,

praying at the Marian shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza. There he became convinced

that the Blessed Virgin Mary called him to found the Marianists. Chaminade made clear

that this call requires a specific response from those people named after Mary, the Marianists. “What is specific about us,” he wrote of the

Marianists, “is that we devote ourselves to Mary in order to make her known, loved and served.

For we are thoroughly convinced that we shall never bring people back to Jesus except through his most holy Mother.”

To bring people to Jesus through Mary —

that is the mission of the Marianists.

F

ounding: In 1943, the Marianists of the University of Dayton founded the Marian Library to commemorate the triple centennial to be celebrated in 1949-50: the arrival of the Marianists in the United States (1849); the death of Father William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Society of Mary (1850); and the founding of the University of Dayton (1850).

Extent of resources: The Marian Library has — for students and scholars who need an extensive collection of books, periodicals and other materials centered on studies related to Mary, the Mother of Jesus — more than 150,000 items, dating from the beginning of printing up to the present day. It is the largest and most comprehensive collection in the world devoted to this specialty.

Scope of the collection: The Marian Library collection comprises works in more than 50 languages. It includes a general reference collection with resources in patristics, biblical studies, christology, ecclesiology, spirituality, church history, hymnography, iconography, and general and specialized bibliography.

Scholarly journal: The Marian Library issues a multilingual journal, Marian Library Studies (New Series), devoted to the publication of original and scholarly research in all aspects of the field of Marian Studies: editions of early texts, historical research and its documentation, historical bibliography, as well as comparative studies in such areas as religion, archaeology, iconography, symbolism, theological anthropology and psychology.

Graduate studies: In 1975, an institute of graduate studies in theology was founded in affiliation with the Pontifical University Marianum.

Students can prepare for a licentiate and doctorate in theology, with a concentration in Marian studies, earn a certificate in Marian studies, or gain credit hours toward a master’s degree granted in conjunction with the department of religious studies at the University of Dayton.

IMRI is incorporated into the Faculty of Theology Marianum and is empowered to grant the Licentiate of Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) and Doctorate of Sacred Theology (S.T.D.) degrees.

The Mary Page: Starting at http://udayton. edu/mary, visitors have access to an immense amount of material on Mary — scholarly, devotional and artistic. Material is currently available in six languages: Chinese, English, French, Korean, German and Spanish.

OHIO ISN’T GENERALLY REGARDED AS A TOP PROSPECT FOR HARNESSING WIND ENERGY. The state lacks, shall we say, the windy open spaces of the Great Plains to make large wind

farms feasible.

Scientists at the University of Dayton, however, are helping to make the most of what we’ve got

— chiefly by building taller, more efficient wind turbines. These more efficient machines will take advantage of stronger breezes that blow above where conventional wind turbines operate. Erect-

increasingly common within the next decade.

The research is being funded through a $270,000

Central State University and Wright State Uni-

versity have launched the state’s first master’s degree program in clean and renewable energy, and UD has a new minor in sustainability, energy and the environment.

Although federal money, especially from the

U.S. Air Force, is paying for much of UD’s alternative energy research, Ohio’s Third Frontier science and technology program is also putting up

substantial funding. The state has a lot riding on alternative energy. According to the Ohio Of-

fice of Consumers Counsel, utilizing wind, solar

and other alternative energy nationwide could employ 23,000 Ohioans and add $3.6 billion to

the state’s economy by 2017. Efforts to find new

uses for Ohio’s copious quantities of coal also are

important since coal is not about to disappear as a fuel.

“There are ways to continue cleaning up

coal. This country has so much energy in coal to simply ignore it as an energy source,” Leland said.

As costs increase and as hundreds of thou-

sands of American troops remain bogged down in the Middle East, alternative energy solutions

are vital. Ohio is investing heavily in alternative

energy — especially solar, wind and bio-fuels.

Stunned by the loss of hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, the Ohio General Assembly

created the Third Frontier program in 2002 to spur new technology to boost the state’s economy and to re-employ skilled workers thrown out of work

when factories closed or moved out of the state.

In the last decade, according to state figures, the

Third Frontier program has plowed an estimated $1.6 billion into materials science, health and

medical research, agriculture, advanced propulsion and other areas. Of that amount, about $150

million has gone to energy research, including research at the University of Dayton.

Since private companies receiving Third

spending is leveraged. Since its inception, Third

UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON MAGAZINE

On par HAL OKITA ’54

For Hal Okita, the only motto as strong as “Learn.

Lead. Serve.” is a simple proclamation: “Life is to be enjoyed.”

36

During his career, he has managed to intertwine both maxims, beginning with physical education studies and college baseball at UD and leading to a career in professional golf.

“My career [plans] always involved being in sports,” Okita says.

“The more I learned, the more I got involved, the more I wanted to give back.”

Giving back took many forms, one of which was 27 years in the U.S. Army. While stationed at Fort Campbell, Okita oversaw several athletic facilities, including the golf course. While he didn’t play much, he appreciated the leadership experience and bonding among his fellow soldiers.

“Golf brings out the best, and sometimes the worst, of a person,” he says. “And golf has so many life lessons displayed in that simple game.”

So began his nearly three decades in golf, during which he has conducted 13 Hawaiian Open Pro-Am Satellite tournaments, taken 10 teams to the USGA Public Links National championships, conducted four NFL Pro Bowl golf tournaments and served as a rules official at several hundred events. Currently, Okita is the executive director of the Aloha Section PGA, one of 41 divisions of the world’s largest working sports organization.

His duties involve the review of section agreements, financial management, sponsorship sales, education initiatives and section golf tournament management.

“I get up, fight some traffic driving to work, do my management functions, attend meetings, visit PGA professionals at their facilities, confer with sponsors and other golf industry people, spend more time on the computer than I like, drive home through traffic and still count my blessings,” Okita says.

“When we have golf tournaments or other events, I get out of the office, meet and greet people, oversee the event, and enjoy the change of pace and surroundings. And I try my best to get to a golf course once a week to tee it up.”

Just another day in paradise.

During her career, Judith Wehn has had the opportunity to impact thousands through her work at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Joe is one of the ones she remembers best.

In 2003, Wehn was giving a tour to several developmentally disabled high school students. She turned to one boy, Joe, and pointed at a plane.

“Hey Joe, here’s your plane – it’s got your name on it. Take a look.”

“I have my own plane at the museum,” Joe said. “It has my name on it. It flies real fast.”

The teacher accompanying the group teared up, explaining, “You don’t know what just happened. Joe has never spoken in sentences before.”

These types of moments are what make Wehn truly appreciate her job. “You never really know how you have influenced, encouraged or become a role model for someone until one of those moments,” she said.

Wehn, chief of the education division at the museum and chief instructor of Project SOAR, has won numerous awards for outstanding aerospace leadership. Despite her accolades, she is the first to tell you that her love for the interpretation of museum artifacts is what keeps her involved.

After graduating with a degree in secondary education, Wehn helped develop an education program for the Montgomery County Historical Society at the Old Court House Museum in Dayton.

“That’s when I caught the museum bug,” Wehn said. “I became fascinated with the learning environment in a museum.”

From there, she taught at Black River High School in Sullivan, Ohio, and later worked at the Montgomery County Historical Society before taking her current position. She is now responsible for developing an education program for preschool students through adults and providing oversight for various curriculum developments.

“There is great power in the emotional connection between the museum artifacts and the individual,” Wehn said. “It has been an amazing 24 years.”

A life on the hardwood JOHNNY DAVIS ’77

Johnny Davis won an NBA championship as a rookie with the Portland Trailblazers in 1977 and then spent 10 years in the NBA as a player and now 20 more as an assistant and head coach.

The former UD basketball star guard was also in the front office of the Atlanta Hawks for three years and helped raise more than $500,000 for homeless shelters. But Davis has interests, and skills, beyond the basketball court. He is a fan of jazz music and has played the piano since he was about 10. Also an avid golfer, he has carded three hole-in-ones, the most recent in 2009.

“It is the same as basketball — you have to practice to be good at it,” says Davis, now an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies.

It is basketball, of course, that has allowed him to travel throughout North America. Davis was a public-school star in Detroit when he made a recruiting trip to UD and was awed by a game that drew a sellout crowd.

“I was very impressed with the arena,” said Davis, who played at UD from 1973-76. “At the time UD was on the cutting edge and had a tartan floor that made it easier on the knees.”

“We knew the day he came he was going to be a great player,” said Don Donoher, the former UD head coach. “He came into our program at a time when we had real good talent, but it was a team that went .500 for two years. When Johnny came in, it fit like a glove. We went from being mediocre to real good. We let Johnny run the show. He was a student of the game from the get-go.”

Donoher said Davis was good enough to turn pro after his sophomore year but stayed another season and was the 22nd overall pick in 1976. He also saw action for Indiana, Atlanta and Cleveland after playing on the gold medal Pan Am team in 1975.

“It was a very enjoyable time of my life,” he said of UD. “I have fond memories.”

HOWARD WATKINS ’86

“I may as well do what I love and see what happens.”

44

That philosophy worked well for a young Howard Watkins, who after his sophomore year at UD made a choice that would lead him to become one of five full-time assistant conductors who are pianists/coaches at The Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

What he loved was music, but what he came to UD to study was engineering with an eye toward medical school. UD’s small class size and the proximity of Kettering Labs to the Music/Theatre Building allowed him to study engineering and work in the UD Research Institute’s vibration dampening laboratory all the while taking “a million hours of lessons on the piano, my passion, which continued to grow.”

By the beginning of his junior year, his love of music had eclipsed his medical dreams. He changed his major to music but continued working at UDRI even after graduation.

“The University’s size and its essence — its spirituality and religiosity — make people here understand the importance of helping develop the individual both inside and out,” he said.

His bachelor’s in music and piano performance grew into graduate degrees at the University of Michigan where he explored his love for collaboration — with dancers, ensembles and singers.

As an assistant conductor at The Met, Watkins coaches singers on notes and linguistics; he can speak French, Italian and a little German and is learning Spanish. By the time the curtain rises, his work is often done, though he did take the stage to play keyboard and glockenspiel in a recent production of The Magic Flute.

Watkins looks for those places that draw together musicians and engineers, people with varied interests who can share and learn from one another.

It’s what he found in the honors program at UD, and it’s what he continues to find as a teacher, collaborator and conductor: opportunities to let passions grow.

Unexpected turns ART CONN ’94

The path to the future is sometimes a jagged line.

Art Conn didn’t set out to become a celebrity stylist dressing stars like rocker Lenny Kravitz, supermodel Tyra Banks and contestants on America’s most watched show, American Idol. It just kind of worked out that way.

After receiving his diploma, a degree in communication management, Conn knew one thing: He had a thirst for the California life and a minivan jam-packed with everything he owned.

The Midwestern native secured a job in an upscale California retail store just to pay the bills, but after several years, he ended up discovering a new talent.

“People in the fashion industry, stylists and celebrities, would ask for my advice while shopping,” Conn said. “They said, ‘you’re talented’ and told me I had a good eye for fashion. … It was so strange because I didn’t go to styling school or school for fashion design.”

About seven years later, a well-known stylist who dresses Madonna offered Conn a job as his assistant, and Conn began his work styling singers for music videos, celebrities for talk shows and extras in TV commercials.

It wasn’t long before he began working for himself, styling his own way. His first solo job was the Lenny Kravitz music video “California.” He dressed Kravitz, band members, extras and featured talent.

Since then, he’s become the fashion spokesperson for Marshalls and is working with singer and TV hostess Carnie Wilson on The Newlywed Show and David Michael Navarro of the rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers. For the past five years, Conn has spent four months each year styling American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and has helped contestants such as Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks and Adam Lambert find their personal styles as they grew to fame. He writes a weekly fashion commentary for Life and Style magazine and has appeared on E! Networks’ That Morning Show to discuss fashion trends.

So much for communication management.

“I guess the life lesson is that you should go after what you want, even if it goes against the odds.”

ERIN HIGGINBOTHAM NEALY ’00

Erin Nealy always felt that she had a gift for working with children. She assumed she would work in a public school or hospital — she was almost right.

In 2005, Nealy co-founded the Helping Hands Center, a facility located in Columbus, Ohio, that provides therapeutic and educational services to children with disabilities such as autism.

Prior to helping found Helping Hands, Nealy was the director and founder for Hugs and Harmony Music Therapy, LLC. “I noticed that there was a great need for additional and more collaborative programming for individuals with autism,” she said.

“The existing programming didn’t adequately meet the needs of the clients.”

Helping Hands began with eight staff members and three classrooms. Currently it boasts 80 staff members and serves 200 families. The center provides customized classrooms for students in preschool through sixth grade — either one-on-one or group classes that ease the transition into a typical classroom setting. Helping Hands also provides a variety of services including occupational, speech, physical, psychological and music therapy.

Nealy, who earned her degree in music therapy, understands music’s unique healing properties.

“Music can cross barriers other tools cannot. It’s a mode of selfexpression anyone can participate in,” she said, adding that music therapy can help boost confidence in students and help reinforce positive behavior.

Therapy aside, music is a part of Nealy’s identity.

“My parents are musicians,” she said. “They came from musical families. I was involved in choir and playing instruments. I decided I wanted to use music in my career, not just as a part of my career, but as something I do. I feel blessed to be able to do what I love.”

MATT MOSHER ’04

By the time Matt Mosher graduated with his degree in finance, his first entrepreneurial venture was already well under way.

He’d built a solid client base for his seasonal lawn and landscape maintenance service in Birmingham, Mich., and he’d begun to design and install home landscapes. After graduation, he looked at ways to expand them. By the end of 2005, his annual sales hit $1 million. He nearly tripled that in 2006.

“I aligned myself with top people who could help me leverage my business,” he said. “I partnered with the top landscape architect in metro Detroit and someone who had the proper machinery, and we took a different approach than usual. We became stakeholders in each other’s companies so we could market each other.”

Mosher and Associates soon caught the attention of the business press, and in 2006, Mosher was named to the “20 in their 20s” list of business up-and-comers in Crain’s Detroit Business.

He then moved into real estate, acquiring and improving properties and opening a maintenance company to service them. It’s thriving, despite the recession, he said.

Another business, Detroit Green Technologies, conducts commercial energy assessments to help businesses cut energy costs and make environmentally responsible design choices. His latest venture is the online employment service Hiredonthespot.com, which connects employers with qualified job seekers.

Mosher’s early success hasn’t come easily, he said. It required research, planning and strategic partnerships — plus strong sales skills, a field Mosher said can get a bad rap.

“I’m a salesperson that’s not a salesperson,” Mosher said, discouraging stereotypes. “Sales is not what people think it is.”

Professional sales involves education, integrity, project management, quality and good service, he said.

“That’s part of every project I’ve done,” he said, adding the importance of a top-notch staff.

“Running a business is all about having good people. I develop one business, personally put all my time and effort into it, then mentor a person to run it and move on to something else.”

KIM BALL WHITE

Cooking phenomenon Rachel Ray has made the difficult leap: transforming her passion into a dream job.

So has Kim White, her makeup artist.

White has turned her love of makeup into a career that feels more like one incredible vacation. She travels the world with Ray, experiencing all of the fabulous cities, restaurants and hotels the shows take them.

As a communication major, White initially planned to become a broadcaster. Her interest in makeup was the monkey wrench in her plan.

“You never heard, ‘Be a makeup artist,’” she said. “That wasn’t even on the list.” She managed to break into the business by doing makeup for her friends in modeling.

“Word-of-mouth spread. I just rolled down the hill with it,” said White, who moved to New York City, where she was hired as Ray’s makeup artist.

She chronicles daily life on her blog, “Do I Have Lipstick On My Teeth?” and her Twitter account, @kimwhitemakeup. These social media forums showcase White’s “Mugshot Mondays,” which she describes as “the day that beauty violators are brought to justice.” Each week she analyzes and adjusts a woman’s appearance and documents the process online.

She also recently lent her time and talent to Help-Portrait, where photographers across the world gave low-income families the opportunity to get their portrait taken. White offered her skills to many people who had never worn makeup before.

“It was a really good situation,” she said. “One of the most fulfilling days of my career. The worst part of my job is lugging around my makeup; all those little bottles create one heavy beast.”

But that’s not a complaint.

She’ll tell you her job and life are a blast. Her ambition is to create a product line of her own in New York, extending her basic mission for herself: “I like making people feel good.”

Growing up, Lauren Hausmann always wanted to be a teacher. By the time she was in sixth grade, she even knew what she wanted to teach: finance.

Because she also grew up with a classmate with special needs, she decided she could combine the two, which she now does by teaching a personal finance class to special needs students at Chaminade-Julienne Catholic High School in Dayton.

Before graduating from UD in 2008 with a degree in special education, Hausmann took Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University course at her parish.

“The class was a wake-up call,” she said. “It really changed how I viewed money.”

Hausmann also became involved in UD’s Lalanne program, a two-year service program that places teachers in inner-city Catholic schools. Through this program, Hausmann had her master’s degree in educational leadership paid for and she received a placement at Chaminade-Julienne. When she found out Dave Ramsey also had a high school curriculum in personal finance, she pitched the idea to the principal. To fund the new program, she applied for and received the Miami Valley Innovative Teaching Grant. With the help of these finances, she could start her own financial class.

Hausmann piloted her class, Foundations in Personal Finance, last year with special needs students a few times a week. The class was well-liked by the students, but meeting only a few times a week lowered its productivity. This year, Hausmann taught the class every day to five special needs students, and the effect, she said, was amazing.

The class incorporated learning about debt awareness, budgeting techniques, retirement preparation, saving and investing advice, and much more.

“It’s the most fun class I’ve ever taught,” Hausmann said. The lessons are preplanned; students watch 15 minutes of a DVD daily and then move on to hands-on activities. The course often uses computers to integrate technology.

The students share Hausmann’s enthusiasm for the course. She hopes it will be used more in the general curriculum in the future and not just piloted in special needs classrooms. Until then, she’ll continue to enjoy teaching it.

“My kids love the class — they’re learning a lot, and I’m learning a lot.”

hen the University of Dayton launched the President’s Travel Program last year, it purposely scheduled the inaugural trip to China — not only a country where President Daniel Curran has traveled for more than 30 years to conduct his academic research but a country where University ties run deep. When traveling with alumni last October, Curran hosted an alumni reception for UD alumni who reside in Shanghai. Nearly 100 alumni, current UD faculty and students who were studying at Shanghai Normal University that fall semester joined the travelers.

And, the University’s international alumni outreach program was launched.

For decades, UD has been a university of choice for students from the Middle East, Central America and, more recently, China and India, among other countries. The University is the highest-ranked university in international student satisfaction as measured by the International Student Barometer, the largest survey of international student satisfaction in the world.

This engagement with peoples from around the world has been deepened through campus ministry’s immersion programs in Asia, Africa and Central America and the ETHOS program, in which School of Engineering students use their academic expertise to enrich communities worldwide.

Upon returning from China, Deborah Read, vice president for University advancement, believed the time was right to launch a robust international alumni outreach program.

UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON MAGAZINE

SUMMER 2010

“With more than 1,300 who live outside the U.S., it makes perfect sense for us to seek the engagement of these alumni with our current UD students who study abroad each year — and we hope our international alumni will send their children and other family members to UD, as well,” Read said.

To that end, Read launched the international alumni initiative this spring and hired Jessica González, whose efforts will focus on building this program. A 1996 graduate of the University, González was raised in Puerto Rico.

González cites the chapter in Puerto Rico, which currently includes 222 graduates, as an excellent example of the international alumni outreach program. Though Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, the experience of Puerto Rican students attending the University — adjusting to significant language and cultural differences, for example — is similar to the experience of international students.

“The Puerto Rico alumni chapter has been in place for several years, literally mirroring what U.S. chapters are doing,” González said. “They have a calendar of year-round events and spiritual and social gatherings.”

“Strengthening the UD connection throughout the world is the goal,” Read said. “We’ve always been an international University. Now is the time to build on that foundation.”

For more information about the UD International Alumni Network, including ways to get involved, contact González at jessica.gonzalez@udayton.edu.

ALUMNI BOOKSHELF Sweet Dreams Lullaby

/ BETSY SNYDER ’98 /

A love of nature and a pet bunny helped to inspire this bedtime story. Sweet Dreams Lullaby is the first picture book Snyder has both written and illustrated. The book invites children to think happy thoughts before bedtime and reminds adults to view the world through the eyes of a child.

Greetings From Ekaterinburg / JEAN WILSON HALE ’93 / Ten months abroad, seven pieces of luggage and two cats equal adventure for Hale and her husband, who spent a year living in one of central Russia’s major cities. Hale seamlessly weaves letters and e-mails from home with heartwarming and humorous stories of adjusting to life in Russia.

Voyaging to the Mediterranean Under Power: Imprints of Ports, People, Sunsets, and Storms / MARY UMSTOT ’79 / Adventure, “a giant geography lesson” and an eyewitness account of the beauty and power of nature are all within the pages of Umstot’s book, the story of an 11-year voyage covering 48,000 nautical miles on a 52-foot powerboat called TEKA III.

Uncommon Bonds: My Years as a Marianist / DAVID C. PFRIEM ’66 / Pfriem describes his journey becoming a Marianist brother and his later decision to become a lay person again, which brought “joy, elation, bitter self-understanding and peace.”

Footprint Colony on the Moon / RO BILY ’52 / Part romance, part murder mystery, Footprint Colony on the Moon picks up where Neil Armstrong’s footprint on the moon left off, imagining a lunar colony where the protagonists Sandi and Vincent find “clinging dust rocks, a near horizon and breathless adventures on the Sea of Crisis.”

Sex Dungeon for Sale! / PATRICK WENSINK ’02 / Killer dishwashers, a French-obsessed kindergartner and a basement with a checkered past — these are the plot lines of Wensink’s absurdist short story collection, published as part of Eraserhead Press’ New Bizarro Author Series. “An auspicious debut,” says one reviewer.

With more than 200 parks within Denver’s city limits, it’s no wonder UD’s Denver alumni chapter spends a lot of time outdoors.

Chapter president Ben Wilmhoff ’99 said

the parks are a perfect place for the 819-member group to stay connected and get involved.

“As chapter president, I like to utilize as

many of these resources as possible,” Wilmhoff

said. “We are always looking for ways to plan events and activities which will allow us to take advantage of our unique resources.”

One of these events is the annual alumni

picnic in Washington Park that always features lots of food, games and sunshine. The chapter

also organizes service events that enable members to get involved in the community. For example, they recently partnered with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, an organization

dedicated to maintaining Colorado’s trails, and will be helping in a trail maintenance project in late June.

“We like to give back and help maintain

and even improve the quality of these parks,” Wilmhoff said. “It’s a great way to give back to the community with fellow Flyers who share an interest in the outdoors.”

Other activities include brewery tours and

sporting events, including a Colorado Rockies game this fall.

“A lot of events we do are outdoor-based,

but I want to bring people together from all

graduation years,” Wilmhoff said. “The Rockies game, the brewery tour and even the socials are a great way to bring people together, and we all have a blast.”

And with such exceptional outdoor re-

sources, why not take advantage of them?

“Our chapter is very high energy and ac-

Denver

tive,” Wilmhoff explained. “We always enjoy

getting together and talking about our days at UD.”

FIVE CAN’T-MISS DENVER SITES 1. LoDo DISTRICT The Lower Downtown Historic District is an old western warehouse spot transformed into a glamorous downtown area.

At the city’s birthplace, don’t forget to make a stop at the Coors Brewery.

2. THE DENVER MINT Don’t miss the opportunity to check out the single largest producer of coins in the world.

Guided tours allow visitors to see stamping presses which can turn out up to 530 coins per minute.

3. COORS FIELD Home of the Colorado Rockies, Coors Field provides even the most casual sports fan with the best seat in the house. Fans sitting in the first base and right field areas get treated to a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains.

4. ROCK Y MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK If the view from the baseball field is not enough, just make a short drive to get an up-close-and-personal view of the Rocky Mountains, perfect for those who love the outdoors.

5. WASHINGTON PARK For an outdoor experience a little closer to town, take in Washington Park, a 165-acre area complete with trails, tennis courts and playgrounds.

HIDDEN TREASURE

It might have been a campus tour

guide who let you in on the secret. Or maybe an upperclassman, showing off

a superior knowledge of the University.

Or maybe one spring day when the air was warm and sweet-scented, your first

real love took you to the circular terrace in front of the Immaculate Conception Chapel for a kiss and a whisper.

Students call it the “echo spot” be-

cause when you stand in the center, face outward toward the west and say

something, the sound of your own voice echoes in your ears.

While the circle is far from hidden,

the echo spot requires some initiated knowledge or a bit of experimentation.

Rex Berney, chair of the physics de-

partment, is delighted to explain the why and the how of the phenomenon.

Berney says the low curved stone

walls surrounding the terrace reflect

sound back to you in a special way. If you stand in the center spot and speak, your voice goes out, not in a straight line, but

roughly in a fan shape. The sound hits

the wall along the curve and is reflected

59

directly back to your ears, causing the echo and amplifying the sound.

“You can make a very small amount

of sound or noise; it goes out in different directions but then gets reflected by

the curved walls and comes back together and sounds louder,” he said.

It’s not uncommon. Berney says

that “whispering galleries” are often found in places with curved walls,

domed ceilings or other curved surfac-

es — Grand Central Station or the U.S. Capitol for example.

By the way, Berney says the site

acts not just as an echo spot but also as

a whispering gallery, amplifying the

voice of another person if the two are standing just to the left and right of the center brick.

And while Berney relishes explain-

ing the physics of the spot, he’s clearly delighted when an alumnus on a campus visit stops to show his young daugh-

ter where to stand and how to direct her voice, initiating her into one of the mysteries of the University of Dayton.

“Even though we can understand

the physics,” says Berney, “it doesn’t take away from the magic.”

One survived the Holocaust. The other led a

Two soft-spoken teachers recently took the

podium to impart life lessons on leadership

and faith to audiences that hung on their every word.

Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize,

and Brother Raymond L. Fitz, S.M., the longest-

Wiesel, 81, teaches at Boston University and

speaks on campuses around the country. One of a dwindling number of concentration camp sur-

vivors, he has no plans to slow down. “How can one stop? We live in such strange times. I feel

obligated. … There are so many injustices in the world. It would be immoral not to take a stand,” he told University of Dayton students as part of the 2009-10 Diversity Lecture Series.

Addressing a wide range of issues from geno-

cide to suicide bombers to a two-state solution in

the Middle East, Wiesel took moments through-

out his visit to offer pointed observations on the growing discord in the public square and the rise of extremism around the globe.

“There’s a resurgence among the extreme,

extreme right that I find offensive and could

lead to violence. Some people are even calling our president Hitler,” he said quietly, disbelief in

his voice. “I don’t like this atmosphere. We must learn something from the Holocaust. No more racism. No more hatred. No more injustice. …

COMMENTARY BY DANIEL J. CURRAN PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON

Lessons in leadership On a trip to Australia in the fall, I visited a rising

political star who inspired me by her willingness to serve.

It’s no surprise to those who know University of

Dayton graduate Kristina Kerscher Keneally ’91 ’95 that she’s making history — and a difference.

In a faraway continent more than 9,000 miles

from the campus that nurtured her leadership potential, Kristina shook up Australian politics when she

was elected premier — the equivalent of governor — of the nation’s biggest state, New South Wales. She’s the

(Page 58). “It’s about community and how you use your faith and education to serve a greater good.”

Kristina and J.P. fit the mold of University of Day-

ton servant-leaders who share a sensibility about the world. At UD, Kristina says she found soulmates with

“a strong sense of shared values, a shared world view and the same sense of being responsible for the world around you.”

The University of Dayton takes that obligation of

good stewardship seriously. Elsewhere in this issue (Page 24), we feature the University’s emerging expertise in alternative energy research. Our researchers

are harnessing wind power for electricity. We’re giv-

ing pond algae new respect by using it to make biofuels. Algae is also being used to capture carbon di-

oxide when converting coal into jet fuel. As part of a nearly $50 million research contract — the largest in University history — our fuels team is working on per-

fecting synthetic fuels, lessening their impact on the environment.

Tucked away on the top floor of Roesch Library, the

International Marian Research Institute has grown into a world-respected center for study and research

on Mary, the mother of Jesus. On Page 21, you’ll meet IMRI’s new director, Father François Rossier, a Swiss

Marianist priest who speaks five languages and has taught on every inhabited continent. He’s teaching

and assisting scholars from around the world conduct research and earn advanced pontifical degrees through first woman premier in the state’s 200-year history.

We feature her journey on Page 30.

Smart, engaging and deeply committed to social

justice issues, Kristina didn’t leave the University of Dayton armed with two diplomas and a step-by-step manual for her life. She walked away with confidence, faith — and the realization that “change sometimes comes in a rush.”

As I told 1,300 graduating seniors at spring com-

Marianum in Rome. People are always surprised to learn that the Marian Library, part of IMRI, houses

the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection

of printed materials about Mary. More than even the Vatican.

Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the

Marianists, knew how to read the signs of the times and act.
