n research, there is a moment when the data begins to reveal a pattern. What an exciting moment this is! If you have experienced this feeling while conducting research at Fielding, I invite you to remember the joy of seeing your research question begin to connect to real social phenomena. Patterns are what help us make sense of the world around us.

My mother sewed. She sewed our clothes; she sewed for other families. Occasionally, she bought a store bought pattern, usually Butterick or McCall.

Once, as I was struggling to get a pattern aligned with the fabric, she reminded me that the magic of sewing lies not in precision, but in thinking of oneself as the conduit between the whole cloth and the dress it could become. The pattern, she said, is the way to make sense of what is underneath, but it is not the only story. Patterns, she went on, are a guide but not a precise roadmap. I recently recalled this wisdom while reading about the sculptor Michelangelo. He was often heard to remark that one doesn’t create a sculpture from stone, but rather a sculpture reveals itself through careful observation and “listening” to the stone.

“Fielding is a sculpture in progress; a set of data in which patterns are revealed.”

Similarly, Fielding is a sculpture in progress; a dress being made; a set of data in which patterns are revealed. As we enter our 45th anniversary year, what is being revealed is the essential quality of our fabric, a beautiful, shimmering piece of cloth in whose creation we are all participating—not necessarily in a precise way, but certainly in a loving one.

The stories told here in this issue show how our work is evolving. Faculty are exploring new areas of scholarship that provide new patterns for practice; new projects are designed using our strengths in psychology, human development, leadership, and educational leadership for change.

The pattern that emerges time and again from Fielding is how our core work in scholarship leads to more opportunities for our students, graduates, and faculty. These opportunities strengthen the bonds of our community and release our collective talents to do the essential work necessary to create more humane, just, and sustainable societies.

Striving for Solutions The Institute for Social Innovation supports problem-solving research & training

E

stablished in 2002, Fielding’s Institute for Social Innovation was created to support research, professional development, and organizational consulting projects with more effective, sustainable, or just solutions than current approaches.

“Fielding needed a university-wide unit that could assist in seeking external funding, supporting alumni in their post-graduate scholarship, and experimenting with new ideas for continuing education and consulting,” said Charles McClintock, PhD, dean emeritus and director of the Institute.

With a mission to turn knowledge into action, the Institute taps Fielding faculty, students, and alumni across the globe to create opportunities for professionals to create sustainable change in their workplaces and communities. ISI also serves as an incubator for Fielding programs; the university’s successful Evidence Based Coaching program was born out of the Institute for Social Innovation (ISI) in 2005.

Because they demonstrated community impact and a strong relationship to student learning, ISI projects were instrumental in earning Fielding the Carnegie Foundation’s esteemed designation in 2005 as an institution of Community Engagement – and Fielding is the first standalone graduate university in the US to earn that distinction.

Over the years, ISI has sponsored over 60 projects in Santa Barbara as well as nationally and internationally, drawing upon the globally distributed nature of faculty, students, and alumni. Examples include comparative national research on food assistance programs to measure the performance of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County; professional development via Sustainability Leadership Workshops at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland; and organizational consulting to support the development of treatment for combat veterans suffering from PTSD who enter the criminal justice system. Their funding came from more than 30 foundations, corporations, and community agencies, as well as individual donor contributions.

ISI also operates a Fellows program offering alumni an academic partner to secure funding or other support for projects that dovetail with ISI’s mission.

Current Fellows are working in human development, leadership, media and education, mental and physical health, organizational development and change, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion (see sidebar).

In 2014, ISI handed off grant and contract work to Fielding’s Office of Strategic Initiatives and Research, which has expanded the university’s national profile through partnerships and extramural funding from the National Science Foundation and other government agencies. ISI will continue its efforts to support alumni in their post-graduate professional work and to incubate innovative ideas for new programs at Fielding. •

SOCIAL INNOVATION IN ACTION Examples of projects by ISI Fellows over the past few years:

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

REBECCA STAFFORD, PHD, ’17, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT The Whistleblowers Post-Trauma Recovery Assessment Project LEADERSHIP

A STUDENT AT THE START JERRY JONNSON, PHD, ATTENDED FIELDING IN ITS VERY FIRST YEAR

J

erry Jonnson, PhD, attended Fielding from 1974 to 1976, earning his PhD in Education. He was an adjunct professor in early childhood education at the University of Nevada-Reno and Nevada State Head Start Training Officer when he applied to Fielding. After graduating, he became an evaluation specialist for the National Head Start Office of Child Development, wrote the book Living in Balance: Reshaping the You Within and spoke to numerous organizations on the topic, and consulted throughout the U.S. for the Direct Selling Association.

CARRIE ARNOLD, PHD, ’17, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT The Silenced Female Leader

He is now one of only four certified Tai Chi Chih instructors in the United Kingdom, where he has lived and taught for a year and a half.

MEDIA & EDUCATION

Dr. Jonnson shared some memories of his time at the fledgling Fielding Institute.

CYNTHIA VINNEY, PHD, ’16, MEDIA PSYCHOLOGY The Role of Media in Narrative Identity MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH

ANITA CHAMBERS, PHD, ’09, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Creating Effective Healthcare Delivery Systems for Developing Countries

ing (If I am not mistaken, there were only five or six) were met by Frederick, Renata and Hallock. I remember their compassionate, intellectual, and challenging input. They were SO good!!

Renata was my direct supervisor/guide. To me she was compassionate, understanding, tough (she always strived for perfection—that’s what I loved about her) and she was brilliant in the area of statistics. I can still hear her today, the way she would approach input on my subject matter: always straightforward, with that German accent. I had immense respect for her and the passion she had for her discipline. I was so lucky to have her guidance.

Hallock was a hugger; he exuded love and compassion to us. He was a most compassionate man who never, ever raised his voice, regardless of the situation. He was always the calm in the midst of the storm.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO FIELDING 45 YEARS AGO? I was looking for a doctor-

ate program that I could participate in and maintain my working profession at the same time. I primarily studied human development/early childhood development.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE

EKIKA JACOBI, PHD, ’18, ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE Cognitive Linguistic Identity Dynamics in Successful and Struggling Organizations SUSTAINABILITY

KERUL KASSEL, PHD, ’11, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Environmental and Social Sustainability

WHAT WERE FIELDING’S ACADEMICS LIKE BACK THEN? Demanding, yet

accommodating – with the opportunity to study/grow with like-minded/experienced professionals who had a wide Jerry Jonnson and his wife, Daryll swath of background experience in their specialty. Some of my fondest memories are the times when we all would come together to discuss our individual passions.

WHAT DO YOU RECALL ABOUT THE FACULTY?

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

PAM KENNEBREW, EDD, ’15, LEADERSHIP FOR CHANGE Mitigating the Consequences of Incarceration for African American Women

11

Demanding! Compassionate! Understanding!

They were brilliant!

YOU STUDIED WITH FIELDING’S FOUNDERS, FREDERIC HUDSON, HALLOCK HOFFMAN AND RENATA TESCH. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THEM? The very first small group of students that came to Field-

And I think he did, too.

I had a passion for tennis, as did Frederic. He was a fierce competitor on the court, as was I. We both hated to lose. I have such fond memories of each of us (like combatants) trying to blow the other off the court. I can see him now as I write this, glaring back at me when I won a point. I loved it!

HOW DID THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE YOU GAINED AT FIELDING IMPACT YOUR LIFE? I firmly believe where I am today is, in large

part, due to the experience and guidance given to me by these three influential people. They gave me the roadmap to all the experiences I have encountered in my personal and professional life. They taught me discipline and a commitment to carry forward their wisdom to all those children, families, and audiences that I have spoken my truth to. •

Striving for Solutions The Institute for Social Innovation supports problem-solving research & training

E

stablished in 2002, Fielding’s Institute for Social Innovation was created to support research, professional development, and organizational consulting projects with more effective, sustainable, or just solutions than current approaches.

“Fielding needed a university-wide unit that could assist in seeking external funding, supporting alumni in their post-graduate scholarship, and experimenting with new ideas for continuing education and consulting,” said Charles McClintock, PhD, dean emeritus and director of the Institute.

With a mission to turn knowledge into action, the Institute taps Fielding faculty, students, and alumni across the globe to create opportunities for professionals to create sustainable change in their workplaces and communities. ISI also serves as an incubator for Fielding programs; the university’s successful Evidence Based Coaching program was born out of the Institute for Social Innovation (ISI) in 2005.

Because they demonstrated community impact and a strong relationship to student learning, ISI projects were instrumental in earning Fielding the Carnegie Foundation’s esteemed designation in 2005 as an institution of Community Engagement – and Fielding is the first standalone graduate university in the US to earn that distinction.

Over the years, ISI has sponsored over 60 projects in Santa Barbara as well as nationally and internationally, drawing upon the globally distributed nature of faculty, students, and alumni. Examples include comparative national research on food assistance programs to measure the performance of Foodbank of Santa Barbara County; professional development via Sustainability Leadership Workshops at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland; and organizational consulting to support the development of treatment for combat veterans suffering from PTSD who enter the criminal justice system. Their funding came from more than 30 foundations, corporations, and community agencies, as well as individual donor contributions.

ISI also operates a Fellows program offering alumni an academic partner to secure funding or other support for projects that dovetail with ISI’s mission.

Current Fellows are working in human development, leadership, media and education, mental and physical health, organizational development and change, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion (see sidebar).

In 2014, ISI handed off grant and contract work to Fielding’s Office of Strategic Initiatives and Research, which has expanded the university’s national profile through partnerships and extramural funding from the National Science Foundation and other government agencies. ISI will continue its efforts to support alumni in their post-graduate professional work and to incubate innovative ideas for new programs at Fielding. •

SOCIAL INNOVATION IN ACTION Examples of projects by ISI Fellows over the past few years:

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

REBECCA STAFFORD, PHD, ’17, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT The Whistleblowers Post-Trauma Recovery Assessment Project LEADERSHIP

A STUDENT AT THE START JERRY JONNSON, PHD, ATTENDED FIELDING IN ITS VERY FIRST YEAR

J

erry Jonnson, PhD, attended Fielding from 1974 to 1976, earning his PhD in Education. He was an adjunct professor in early childhood education at the University of Nevada-Reno and Nevada State Head Start Training Officer when he applied to Fielding. After graduating, he became an evaluation specialist for the National Head Start Office of Child Development, wrote the book Living in Balance: Reshaping the You Within and spoke to numerous organizations on the topic, and consulted throughout the U.S. for the Direct Selling Association.

CARRIE ARNOLD, PHD, ’17, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT The Silenced Female Leader

He is now one of only four certified Tai Chi Chih instructors in the United Kingdom, where he has lived and taught for a year and a half.

MEDIA & EDUCATION

Dr. Jonnson shared some memories of his time at the fledgling Fielding Institute.

CYNTHIA VINNEY, PHD, ’16, MEDIA PSYCHOLOGY The Role of Media in Narrative Identity MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH

ANITA CHAMBERS, PHD, ’09, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Creating Effective Healthcare Delivery Systems for Developing Countries

ing (If I am not mistaken, there were only five or six) were met by Frederick, Renata and Hallock. I remember their compassionate, intellectual, and challenging input. They were SO good!!

Renata was my direct supervisor/guide. To me she was compassionate, understanding, tough (she always strived for perfection—that’s what I loved about her) and she was brilliant in the area of statistics. I can still hear her today, the way she would approach input on my subject matter: always straightforward, with that German accent. I had immense respect for her and the passion she had for her discipline. I was so lucky to have her guidance.

Hallock was a hugger; he exuded love and compassion to us. He was a most compassionate man who never, ever raised his voice, regardless of the situation. He was always the calm in the midst of the storm.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO FIELDING 45 YEARS AGO? I was looking for a doctor-

ate program that I could participate in and maintain my working profession at the same time. I primarily studied human development/early childhood development.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE

EKIKA JACOBI, PHD, ’18, ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & CHANGE Cognitive Linguistic Identity Dynamics in Successful and Struggling Organizations SUSTAINABILITY

KERUL KASSEL, PHD, ’11, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Environmental and Social Sustainability

WHAT WERE FIELDING’S ACADEMICS LIKE BACK THEN? Demanding, yet

accommodating – with the opportunity to study/grow with like-minded/experienced professionals who had a wide Jerry Jonnson and his wife, Daryll swath of background experience in their specialty. Some of my fondest memories are the times when we all would come together to discuss our individual passions.

WHAT DO YOU RECALL ABOUT THE FACULTY?

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

PAM KENNEBREW, EDD, ’15, LEADERSHIP FOR CHANGE Mitigating the Consequences of Incarceration for African American Women

11

Demanding! Compassionate! Understanding!

They were brilliant!

YOU STUDIED WITH FIELDING’S FOUNDERS, FREDERIC HUDSON, HALLOCK HOFFMAN AND RENATA TESCH. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THEM? The very first small group of students that came to Field-

And I think he did, too.

I had a passion for tennis, as did Frederic. He was a fierce competitor on the court, as was I. We both hated to lose. I have such fond memories of each of us (like combatants) trying to blow the other off the court. I can see him now as I write this, glaring back at me when I won a point. I loved it!

HOW DID THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE YOU GAINED AT FIELDING IMPACT YOUR LIFE? I firmly believe where I am today is, in large

part, due to the experience and guidance given to me by these three influential people. They gave me the roadmap to all the experiences I have encountered in my personal and professional life. They taught me discipline and a commitment to carry forward their wisdom to all those children, families, and audiences that I have spoken my truth to. •

A Pressing Need

Living Well, Dying Well: A practical guide to choices, costs, and consequences by Judy Stevens-Long and Dohrea Bardell

O

The story of Fielding University Press begins in 2013, when School of Leadership Studies faculty member Jean-Pierre Isbouts, D.Litt., proposed the idea to President Katrina Rogers.

“We need to create a platform where our graduates can publish their work,” he recalls saying. “It’s part of our responsibility of helping our students become change agents.

They can’t do that if they’re not published.”

An academic press had always been a luxury only large, wealthy universities could afford. The cost of printing was prohibitive for small schools, as any publication required a print run of 3,000 to 5,000 copies – and the space the store them.

Jean-Pierre Isbouts with faculty member Valerie Bentz and her book

“But when Amazon introduced its direct-to-print technology, it transformed the whole book business,” said Dr. Isbouts, who has had a long career in media and publishing. With print-on-demand publishing, “small presses like ours don’t have to build and store an inventory. We can simply say, there’s a buyer who’d like to have a copy – and Amazon prints it.”

President Rogers liked the idea and asked Dr. Isbouts to work with then-Provost Gerald Porter, PhD, to launch Fielding University Press.

“As a graduate institution, especially a doctoralgranting institution, it is imperative that Fielding demonstrate to the world our intellectual and academic excellence,” Dr. Porter said. “A university press is one of the best ways for an institution to connect to the larger academic community of scholars and showcase its expertise in particular subject-matter areas.”

Dr. Isbouts agrees that the press’ primary mission is to evangelize Fielding’s research – an area in which other distributed universities don’t tend to perform well.

“None of the other distributed universities that I know of have a university press,” he says. “We’ve shown that it can be done, and on a cost-effective level.”

Indeed, after creating an editorial process, production process, and peer-review board for articles, the Fielding University Press published its first monograph in 2014, Social Change in the Workplace. A monograph is a collection of articles with a common theme written by different scholars on a related subject.

“It brings together multiple perspectives,” says Dr. Isbouts. “That’s why it’s such a powerful medium for us; we are multidisciplinary and interested in diversity of viewpoints.”

Our monographs are comprised of articles from student dissertations, which solves a problem that Dr. Isbouts recognized. “The demand for publishing space is much larger than what journals can actually accommodate,” he said. “I saw a real need among my students, who were running into road blocks trying to get their dissertations published – even dissertations of tremendous import.”

“Much credit goes to Professor Isbouts,” Dr. Porter said, “who as editor has contributed a guiding vision made real with capable management.”

“This is one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done,” says Dr. Isbouts. “Hopefully we can do this for many years to come.”

2017

Fielding University Press has now published more than 60 articles from student dissertations, and 17 books – in just four years. That’s an aggressive number for a small press like ours.

Dr. Isbouts offers a course on “Writing an Article for Publication” to help students and alumni turn their dissertations into monograph material. And he’s currently working on the Fielding 45th Anniversary monograph, to be edited by President Rogers and VPs Monique Snowden, PhD, and Orlando Taylor, PhD, which aims to capture the ways that Fielding has transformed the work of its students, faculty, alumni, and staff. It will be published in June – with more books to follow, to be sure.

UNDERSTANDING

OURSELVES THE ALONSO CENTER FOR PSYCHODYNAMIC STUDIES PROMOTES FREUD’S THEORY

I

In a quiet, comfortable room, the patient shares her feelings; the psychologist listens intently, notepad in hand.

It’s how we define “therapy” today.

And it dates back to the early 20th century, when Sigmund Freud proposed his Psychoanalytic Theory – the idea that our personalities are shaped by early attachment experiences, repressed and forbidden memories and feelings, and the impulses of a dynamic unconscious, and that talking through it with a person who knows how to listen could offer a release from a prison of the past.

“Freud systematized the idea that there’s an unconscious, meaning, in part, that what we consciously know about ourselves in the world is not the whole picture,” says Margaret Cramer, PhD, ABPP, a faculty member in Fielding’s Clinical Psychology program.

“The psychodynamic psychotherapist listens for the way the individual has inadvertently but reliably re-created the past in the present.

It’s the oldest and most longstanding form of talk therapy that we know of. All the other therapies come from this basic work.”

Anne Alonso with Fielding founding faculty Marie Fielder

Dr. Cramer is also director of Fielding’s Alonso Center for Psychodynamic Studies, a scholarly resource established in 2001, to support the study and application of psychodynamic ideas and treatments. Fielding has just launched an expanded Alonso Center membership, open to anyone at all – within or outside of Fielding – with an interest in understanding, and encouraging others to better understand, the value of contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy.

The Center is named for Anne Alonso, PhD, a psychologist who was not only an early Fielding graduate, but went on to serve as faculty from 1983 to 2001, as well as becoming a trustee and generous donor. Dr. Alonso along with her husband Ramon established the endowment that funded the Alonso Center when she retired from Fielding.

“She’s an exemplar of Fielding,” said Dr. Cramer of Dr. Alonso, who passed away in 2007. “She combined clinical skills, scholarly interests and entrepreneurial spirit. When she wanted to solve a problem, she did it by making something, like: ‘We need more public awareness of psychodynamic theory? OK, we’ll fund an endowment, and together create a center.’ She was a real can-do person.”

The goal of the center has always been to support the teaching of “the talking therapies,” to train students and mental health professionals in contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy, and to sponsor cross-discipline opportunities for scholars, practitioners, and educators to come together to discuss the integration of psychodynamic theory and practice in mental health, organizational development, education, and community building.

Over the years, the Alonso Center has offered an annual Frieda Fromm-Reichman Award of up to $1000 to a Clinical Psychology student who has demonstrated excellence in psychodynamic scholarship; 16 students have benefitted from it to date. Former Director and faculty emeritus Sam Osherson, PhD, and his brother established the Louis & Adele Osherson Fellowship in memory of their parents to invite mental health practitioners and other professionals outside of Fielding to take part in National Session. Osherson fellows travel to Winter Session in Santa Barbara and spend the week participating in seminars, mingling with students and faculty, and exploring psychodynamic ideas.

The Center has often brought films and speakers to Winter Session on psychodynamic themes. This year it will host speaker Donna Orange, PhD, PsyD, author of Climate Crisis, Psychoanalysis, and Radical Ethics on Friday, Jan. 18, in Santa Barbara.

Dr. Cramer is also excited about organizing conversation hours, poster sessions, and Zoom webinars for new members – and a reprint later this year of Dr. Alonso’s book, The Quiet Profession.

“The more we understand psychodynamic theory,” she said, “the more we understand ourselves.

“The goal of dynamic therapies is not so much to solve problems or learn skills, but to understand individuals and to help them understand themselves with depth and compassion,” she said. “Being deeply understood profoundly changes people’s lives, and that’s an idea that is too easily lost in this increasingly transactional world.” •

BROADENING PARTICIPATION

IN STEM

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANTS NEARLY $10 MILLION TO FIELDING PROJECTS

T

he National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded two grants this year for projects through Fielding’s Marie Fielder Center for Democracy, Leadership, & Education that aim to increase diversity in the nation’s higher-education STEM programs.

A grant of $9 million was awarded to the Center for the Advancement of STEM Leadership (CASL) to study how leadership at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) has been exceptionally successful in increasing and broadening participation of underrepresented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM) — and ultimately in producing work that enables others to follow in their footsteps.

The project, to be conducted over five years, involves four higher education institutions: The University of the Virgin Islands, an HBCU, will lead the research efforts, looking at the traits of successful STEM leaders in the context of HBCUs; North Carolina A&T State University, another HBCU, will team with Fielding, long known for its leadership development, to lead the education component, turning the research into professional development for future leaders; the Association of American Colleges & Universities will lead the outreach, dissemination, and knowledge transfer, turning what is learned in the research and education components into practice across HBCUs and throughout higher education.

“I am thrilled that we were able to fund the first Broadening Participation Research Center, which will put HBCUs at the forefront in education research on what contributes to the success of these institutions in producing African American STEM majors,” said Claudia Rankins, PhD, program director for the National Science Foundation HBCU – Undergraduate Program. “Their framework is what makes the work of this center unique, necessary, and ground-breaking.”

The NSF has granted an additional $767,000 to Fielding to offer intensive Leadership Academies and other professional development

opportunities over the next two years for STEM women faculty of color at all types of colleges and universities who aspire to leadership roles.

These activities will be offered in conjunction with the Society of STEM Women of Color, including events at the Society’s Annual Conclave.

Fielding will also provide authorship development institutes and wellbeing workshops for the Society’s members from throughout the country, including STEM faculty of color from many HBCUs, Tribal Colleges, and Hispanic-Serving Institutions.

The project is called Sankofa, an African word that means to “go back and get it.” Represented as a bird who flies forward but looks backward, Sankofa means building the future with an eye on the history, culture, and legacy of the past.

“Together, the two grants are among the latest initiatives launched at Fielding to fulfill its historic mission of advancing social justice through education, research, and practice,” said Orlando Taylor, PhD, Fielding’s vice president for strategic initiatives and research. “It is most fitting that each is housed in the university’s recently established Marie Fielder Center for Democracy, Leadership and Education, a cross-institutional entity designed to bring together scholars and practitioners across the disciplines to transform Fielding’s longstanding mission and core values into fundable, national efforts to create a more just and inclusive society.”• A Society of STEM Women of Color workshop

The Center has often brought films and speakers to Winter Session on psychodynamic themes. This year it will host speaker Donna Orange, PhD, PsyD, author of Climate Crisis, Psychoanalysis, and Radical Ethics on Friday, Jan. 18, in Santa Barbara.

Dr. Cramer is also excited about organizing conversation hours, poster sessions, and Zoom webinars for new members – and a reprint later this year of Dr. Alonso’s book, The Quiet Profession.

“The more we understand psychodynamic theory,” she said, “the more we understand ourselves.

“The goal of dynamic therapies is not so much to solve problems or learn skills, but to understand individuals and to help them understand themselves with depth and compassion,” she said. “Being deeply understood profoundly changes people’s lives, and that’s an idea that is too easily lost in this increasingly transactional world.” •

BROADENING PARTICIPATION

IN STEM

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANTS NEARLY $10 MILLION TO FIELDING PROJECTS

T

he National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded two grants this year for projects through Fielding’s Marie Fielder Center for Democracy, Leadership, & Education that aim to increase diversity in the nation’s higher-education STEM programs.

A grant of $9 million was awarded to the Center for the Advancement of STEM Leadership (CASL) to study how leadership at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) has been exceptionally successful in increasing and broadening participation of underrepresented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM) — and ultimately in producing work that enables others to follow in their footsteps.

The project, to be conducted over five years, involves four higher education institutions: The University of the Virgin Islands, an HBCU, will lead the research efforts, looking at the traits of successful STEM leaders in the context of HBCUs; North Carolina A&T State University, another HBCU, will team with Fielding, long known for its leadership development, to lead the education component, turning the research into professional development for future leaders; the Association of American Colleges & Universities will lead the outreach, dissemination, and knowledge transfer, turning what is learned in the research and education components into practice across HBCUs and throughout higher education.

“I am thrilled that we were able to fund the first Broadening Participation Research Center, which will put HBCUs at the forefront in education research on what contributes to the success of these institutions in producing African American STEM majors,” said Claudia Rankins, PhD, program director for the National Science Foundation HBCU – Undergraduate Program. “Their framework is what makes the work of this center unique, necessary, and ground-breaking.”

The NSF has granted an additional $767,000 to Fielding to offer intensive Leadership Academies and other professional development

opportunities over the next two years for STEM women faculty of color at all types of colleges and universities who aspire to leadership roles.

These activities will be offered in conjunction with the Society of STEM Women of Color, including events at the Society’s Annual Conclave.

Fielding will also provide authorship development institutes and wellbeing workshops for the Society’s members from throughout the country, including STEM faculty of color from many HBCUs, Tribal Colleges, and Hispanic-Serving Institutions.

The project is called Sankofa, an African word that means to “go back and get it.” Represented as a bird who flies forward but looks backward, Sankofa means building the future with an eye on the history, culture, and legacy of the past.

“Together, the two grants are among the latest initiatives launched at Fielding to fulfill its historic mission of advancing social justice through education, research, and practice,” said Orlando Taylor, PhD, Fielding’s vice president for strategic initiatives and research. “It is most fitting that each is housed in the university’s recently established Marie Fielder Center for Democracy, Leadership and Education, a cross-institutional entity designed to bring together scholars and practitioners across the disciplines to transform Fielding’s longstanding mission and core values into fundable, national efforts to create a more just and inclusive society.”• A Society of STEM Women of Color workshop

What was your first gift to a charity – and what inspired you?

While my family does not have much wealth, we have always had an abundance of love and care. I grew up with the belief that we are not here to just receive from the world, but also to give to it. The verse “to whom much is given, much is required” is the foundation of my stewardship. My philosophy is based on collective and balanced giving of the three Ts: time, talent, and treasure. In my youth, my giving was primarily that of time, in terms of volunteering in the local community. During my collegiate years and early career, in addition to time, I directed my talents in service to organizations like the Lions Clubs International and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. As I advanced in my career, expanded earnings created financial capacity for giving of my treasures. I then started supporting and serving on nonprofit boards and making charitable contributions to causes that inspire me.

Frederic Hudson was the founding president of Fielding and helped establish the values that distinguish the university today. Dr. Hudson’s widow Pamela McLean, PhD – also a Fielding alum – and the Hudson family helped fund the $100,000 endowed scholarship, which will be an annual award to a Fielding doctoral student preparing research in the area of coaching.

MONTHLY DONOR

I prefer to give through payroll deduction, because a larger annual amount is felt less over the course of a year. I usually plan on how much I can give at the end of each calendar year. Causes that have deep meaning for me guide my philanthropy. For example, the Ethnic Minority Dissertation Scholarship at Fielding was low on funds just before its scheduled award cycle, so, I pulled out my checkbook and made a contribution. I have supported student-led fundraising initiatives such as Magic Feet in the Clinical Psychology program.

I have also contributed to the Marie Fielder Center to honor the legacy of Dr. Fielder; Dr. Orlando Taylor’s leadership and personal gift to the Center inspired my gift. This year, I am supporting the Ernestine Magagna Baker Endowed Scholarship, established by Fielding Trustee and Faculty Emerita Nancy Baker, PhD, and her late brother C. Edwin Baker, JD, in honor of their mother. Personally, I wanted to honor Nancy and her philanthropic leadership at Fielding, which I know is inspired by her mother’s influence and further motivated by her brother’s legacy.

Our programs stress the importance of critical thinking, which is essential when learning in adulthood.

Why do you believe education matters?

Education is essential in diminishing social stratification. In the U.S. we are led to believe that no matter one’s beginnings, we can achieve our full potential. This simply does not hold true for many who lack equal access and opportunity to quality education in general, and particularly higher education. On the matter, funding scholarships for prospective and current Fielding students must remain an institutional priority. •

Kristina Wagner, a graduate student in the Leadership for Change Program, is grateful to the donors who helped establish this scholarship.

“Working in the field of career development, I am familiar with Dr. Hudson’s important contributions to the areas of Adult Learning, Coaching, and Transition Management,” she said. “It is an honor to receive this scholarship. Being a mid-life career changer, this award is especially meaningful.”

Kristina said that her academic experience with Fielding has helped define her scholarly interest in conducting research on the connections between coaching and andragogy. One of her goals is to increase people’s awareness of coaching as a progressive tool for learning.

“The Frederic M. Hudson Scholarship, along with the guidance, collaboration, and support from Fielding faculty, will help me achieve my vision of creating change in higher education and in broader learning communities,” she said, “by implementing coaching as a model for effective learning.” •

ielding, unlike many campus-based programs, is a university that transcends geography and borders.

The same is true of our university library.

Whether traveling in a van while completing your dissertation, working in the kitchen late at night after your kids are in bed, or enjoying Saturday-morning coffee with your pet while watching New Zotero Video Tutorial Series on the library blog, you know that Fielding’s library – a collection of 228,239 books, 51,467 journals, and so much more – is always open.

In September, Fielding received a gift of $1,000,000 from Dianne Kipnes, a 1998 PhD alum from the School of Psychology, to support our library operational needs, from online subscription services and additional volumes on psychodynamic psychotherapy to books for the new masters programs in Couples/Marriage & Family Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

In recognition of this generous gift, the library was renamed the Dr. Dianne Kipnes Library.

“This gift is a wonderful example of alumni who remain committed to the success of the scholarship of our stu-

dents,” said President Katrina Rogers, “which shows the value of a Fielding education in people’s lives long after they’ve graduated.”

Dr. Kipnes believes it’s crucial that researchers to have access to the knowledge upon which academic and psychological theories are based. “It is only then that we can build on those ideas, both rejecting and adopting new concepts, and proceed with our major goal: to help people advance towards a healthier life,” said Dr. Kipnes, who was the convocation speaker for Fielding’s summer 2016 graduation ceremony. “Libraries are an essential component of that objective.

I am therefore delighted to name this library and contribute towards the learning of future Fielding students.”

Dean of Student Development “Dr. Dang” Chonwerawong, PhD, said the gift will “allow us to expand our online databases and provide better access to information to support the research interests of our students and faculty.”

art Buechner is a strong believer in giving back as a way of paying forward.

Last year, when Fielding’s office of development ran a $10,000 fundraising marathon for the scholarship that honors Fielding Founding Dean Don Bushnell, we reached out for a testimonial from Bart, who was one of the scholarship’s early recipients.

“When I received the Bushnell award, it was an incentive to get to know more about his contributions to the Fielding culture,” Bart said. “I received two Fielding scholarships while I was working on my doctorate at Fielding, and these were both sustaining and motivating, far beyond the dollar value.”

After graduating from Fielding in 2014 with a doctoral degree in human and organizational development, Bart continues to be involved at Fielding in many ways.

He is also an active board member with the CMM Institute for Personal and Social Evolution, a group that includes many Fielding alumni and aims to sustain the teaching and usage of the Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) theory pioneered by the late W. Barnett Pearce, a Fielding faculty member. Bart also helps coordinate the monthly meetings for Fielding’s concentration in Somatics, Phenomenology, and Communicative Leadership (SPCL), attended by a growing cohort of Fielding students, faculty members, and alumni. Along with faculty member Valerie Bentz, PhD, Bart is also co-teaching an SPCL-based curriculum at the University of the Virgin Islands and the University at Buffalo, NY. A veteran of the Navy, where he had a 30-year career, Bart continues

to be involved in Fielding’s Veterans Connections group. “The group’s founding faculty sponsor is Miguel Guilarte , PhD, who was affected as a child in Cuba by war, but was not directly involved with the military. This reflects the group’s ethos, which has always been that all are welcome, and we don’t have a fixed structure or agenda.” The group has organized workshops that brought in national leaders of veterans’ groups, including the US Department of Veterans Affairs, the Wounded Warrior Project, the National Veterans’ Foundation, and the Adler University Military Psychology program, where Bart is an adjunct faculty member. Over the years, these workshops have showcased Fielding initiatives such as a veterans’ court project in Santa Barbara; a digital veterans’ memorial project created by Fielding’s Media Psychology program, and an evening lecture by Army veteran Paul Chappell, who now leads an international anti-war movement. The Fielding Veterans Connection group also served as the organizing nexus for the 2016 Fielding monograph, Military and Family Reintegration: Identity, Healing, and Reconciliation, co-edited by Miguel and Bart with substantive articles by six Fielding alumni.

Last year, Bart made generous gifts to support a Fielding scholarship in honor of Dr. W. Barnett Pearce, and the Dr. Valerie Bentz Endowment Fund. “The pioneering work of Barnett Pearce in social construction in communication through his CMM body of theory lives on through his strong influence and patient mentoring of so many students during his time at Fielding, and Dr. Valerie Bentz with Dr. David Rehorick have likewise sustained the teaching of phenomenology at Fielding and taken it into a transformational direction,” Bart says. “Both phenomenology and CMM are parts of the rich philosophical and interdisciplinary heritage of Fielding, and the scholarships in their honor will hopefully keep that going.” •

Learner-centered education. Fielding’s values are what drew Patricia Zell, a veteran of the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Indian Affairs, to become a Fielding trustee in 2016.

“Fielding’s vision and values are consistent with mine,” she says, “and this is just one of the many reasons that I want to support Fielding’s mission of assisting future generations of adult learners.

“This is a university in which I want to invest my energy and resources.”

Introduced to Fielding by another trustee, her colleague from the National Museum of the American Indian, Manley Begay, EdD, Patricia is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and is a partner in Zell & Cox Law, P.C., a Native Law Practice Group. She retired from Federal public service in 2005, following 25 years of service on the Senate’s Committee on Indian Affairs, where she was Democratic Staff Director and Chief Counsel for 19 years. Prior to her Senate service, she worked for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, the American Indian Policy Review Commission, and the American Psychological Association. Patricia also serves on the International Advisory Council of the Native Nations Institute at the University of Arizona.

During her service on the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, Patricia was involved in working with Native American

tribally controlled colleges to receive the same status as other land-grant institutions. As a result, more funding became available to these colleges and more students from across Indian country received access to quality education. “I have witnessed how education that meets the individual needs of students,” she says, “serves as a springboard for them, their families, and their communities.”

During her academic career, Patricia attended traditional brick and mortar schools, where the educational process is formal and structured. Unlike students at Fielding, she could not shape her educational experience. “I am impressed with Fielding’s educational principles and its outreach to Native American and other minority communities. People with busy lives and in mid-career are afforded opportunities to pursue higher education, and at Fielding they can shape their educational experience in their own ways, to meet their needs and aspirations.”

A year ago, Patricia joined the Fielding Founders Circle by making a planned gift to our university.

“A legacy gift is something I can commit to now,” she said. “My dream is to see Fielding thrive, and be acknowledged at the national and international levels for its quality of education and commitment to social justice.”

A year ago, Patricia joined the Fielding Founders Circle by making a planned gift to our university.

“A legacy gift is something I can commit to now,” she said. “My dream is to see Fielding thrive, and be acknowledged at the national and international levels for its quality of education and commitment to social justice.”

If you are interested in making a bequest or a planned gift to Fielding, email giving@fielding.edu
