Lasell Leaves â&#x20AC;˘ Fall 2011

A School for All Seasons Dear Lasell Alumni and Friends: As we write this letter, Lasell’s iconic trees are turning autumn hues, and we’re settling in for another season of teaching, scholarship and service. Looking back on our accomplishments over the last year, Lasell experienced a rebirth manifested in a series of memorable dedication ceremonies (see pages 6-7). In late April, with many Donahue family members in attendance, we dedicated the Nancy Lawson Donahue ’49 Center for Creative and Applied Arts, a stunning new academic building reborn from an existing house and an old barn. In early May, with a large contingent of the extended Arnow family gathered, we dedicated the Joan Weiler Arnow ’49 Campus Center in memory of another extraordinary benefactor to the College. Shortly thereafter, Joan’s husband Robert Arnow offered a $1 million Challenge Grant to the College to meet its Bridge to the Future initiative goal (see page 50) that will ultimately help support other building projects, raise money for the school’s endowment, and create a glorious new green space at the old Crow’s Nest site. And in June, we dedicated the Adelaide Shaffer Van Winkle ’36 Quad in recognition of that distinguished alumna’s significant increased gifts to the campaign. These three remarkable women represent the best of Lasell College in both spirit and action. As we enter the final year of the Bridge to the Future initiative, we need all alumni and friends of the College to step forward and help us reach our $10 million goal. The focus in this third year of the campaign has shifted from facilities to increasing our endowment to support student scholarships. The turmoil in the economy and the persistent high unemployment rate has placed great stress on the families of our students in their efforts to pay for Lasell’s distinctive, high quality education. The generosity of people such as Overseer Joan Howe Weber ’51 makes a tangible difference every year (see page 8). Also in these pages, you will read about individuals whose passion for education reinforces the College’s mission. People like Cinny Kennard ’74 (pages 4-5), a former student government president with a brilliant career in journalism; Vice President for Academic Affairs Jim Ostrow (pages 12-13), whose embrace of the Lasell ethos has impact across the faculty and student body; math professor-about-campus Neil Hatem, whose talent at engaging students is boundless (page 14); and the vibrant Mary Black, whose dedication to lifelong learning personifies Lasell Village (page 15). And, if you missed it, you’ll also get a sense of our very successful 2011 Reunion, with increased participation that signals growing interest among Lasell’s alums in staying connected with the school’s past, present and future (see pages 20-21). All of the College’s stakeholders—faculty, staff, parents, students, alumni, Trustees, Overseers, friends and donors—have contributed to the momentum that continues to make Lasell the amazing institution that it is today and, with your continued support, promises to be tomorrow. Thank you. We couldn’t do it without you. Sincerely,

Eric M. Turner Chairman, Board of Trustees

It would take more than a 140-character Tweet, however, to do justice to the Lasell alumna’s broadcast journalism success; she’s gone from typewriters to texting, from boots on the ground in wartime Yugoslavia to overall supervision of The Tavis Smiley Show when he was with National Public Radio (NPR), climbing virtually every step on the media ladder along the way. And the Connecticut native gives credit to her alma mater for kick-starting what could only be called her brilliant career. “Lasell was one of the best decisions I ever made,” she tells Leaves. “It positioned me for where I am today.” Currently a senior fellow at the University of Southern California’s

famed Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, Kennard spearheads its Women and Communication Leadership Initiative. In addition, she serves on the board of directors of Global Post, an online journalism website committed to providing international reporting rooted in “integrity, accuracy, independence and powerful storytelling.” Integrity and independence were touchstones for this president of Lasell’s student government in 1973-74 who credits Mary Dee Pifer, then dean of students, as “a hands-on mentor in every sense of the word who made an indelible mark at a critical point in my life.” “Lasell‘s liberal arts curriculum enabled me to ‘test-drive’ subjects,” Kennard says, “and think about where to go next.”

Next turned out to be a BS in communications from Northeastern in 1977 and a first job at a small AM radio station in Norwalk, CT, working two hours a day for $20 a week. “At that point, women weren’t on radio much,” the intrepid journalist says, “but that crash course prepared me to cover the US Congress, the Kremlin and 10 Downing Street.” London wasn’t the only media capital calling. Kennard was managing director/managing editor of NPR West from 2003 to 2009, where she had editorial and operational oversight of the facility, including two daily news programs, and built NPR West in Los Angeles from 20 to 90 full-time employees. Previously, she served as an executive project director and journalism professor at the Annenberg School; prior to that, she was a CBS News correspondent based at various times in LA, London and Moscow, and spent 10 years as a TV reporter in Texas. (As Leaves went to press, Kennard posted “Twenty Years Later: Covering the Anita Hill Story” for The Huffington Post online.) More recently, Kennard has launched several projects aimed at improving broadcast journalism political coverage, co-founding Where The Classroom Is The Real World

pring is often referred to as a season of rebirth and renewal. At Lasell, this annual rite manifested itself in a series of remarkable dedication ceremonies. In April, the Nancy Lawson Donahue ’49 Center for Creative and Applied Arts, a beautiful new academic building for the Fashion and Communication departments, was dedicated (top row). Two days later, the bustling Joan Weiler Arnow ’49 Campus Center, in memory of another generous member of that stellar class, was dedicated (middle row). And in June, a spirited crowd gathered to dedicate the Adelaide Shaffer Van Winkle ’36 Quad (defined by East, West, Van Winkle and McClelland Halls) in recognition of that alumna’s devotion to her alma mater (bottom row).

Jacqueline Saluti ’12

Senior Softballer Bats 1.000 with Scholarship Help

When Lasell first recruited Jacqueline Saluti ’12 to play softball at the College, all the Braintree, MA High sports star knew was that she wanted to enroll at a small school, close to her family, where she’d be able to “build relationships with professors and receive a true ’hands-on’ education.” Lasell seemed a solid bet to meet all three requirements. Not to mention, Saluti tells Leaves, “I fell in love with the place on sight.” How to finance her higher education was not so clear.

Beyond First Base: Saluti in action.

“

Enter Joan Howe Weber ’51. A generous and engaged alumna for decades, Weber is a current Overseer, former Trustee, Lasell Medallion honoree and co-chair of the Lasell 150 Campaign. In addition, she established the Weber Computer Lab in Winslow Hall and set up the Joan Howe Weber ’51 Advancement Fund in 2001 to support tuition fees for faculty members seeking doctoral degrees. Even with all this philanthropy, Weber tells Leaves, “I think building up the student scholarship area is crucial. I have four children

Receiving the Weber Scholarship was a big break…that inspired me to want to work even harder.

”

and 12 grandchildren,” the longtime Lasell champion adds. “When I entered Lasell, tuition was $1,300 a year. I know what college costs these days. There are a lot of students who just can’t afford it, and I thought helping them would be a good thing to do.” To that end, Weber established the Joan Howe Weber ’51 Endowed Scholarship in 1996 in honor of her 45th Lasell reunion. The scholarship is earmarked to provide support “for a worthy student with financial need.” A perfect fit for Jacqui Saluti who captains and plays a mean first base on the Lasell Softball team. “Without financial aid, I would not be able to attend college at all,” Saluti, a Human Services major and Coaching minor, says. “Receiving the Weber Scholarship was a big break… that inspired me to want to work even harder.” The oldest of five children of Al and Sandy Saluti, two of Jacqui’s siblings also have Lasell connections: sister Alison ’13 is a Psychology major and starting pitcher on the Softball team; and brother Stephen ’15 plans to major in Elementary Education. “I’m receiving an excellent education at a school where I am more than just a number,” Jacqui Saluti adds. “I am an individual hoping to make a difference in the world.” Thanks to the Weber Scholarship, she’ll do that with a Lasell degree in hand.

News For the Record

Four New Faculty on Board

By the Numbers Jacqueline Saluti ’12 is but one of many Lasell undergraduates deemed “a worthy student with financial need.” A look at some 2011-2012 Lasell College financial aid facts reveals that: • Lasell spends $19 million annually on financial aid. • 35% of Lasell students come from families with total family income of less than $60,000. • 33% of Lasell students are eligible for Pell grants from the federal government because their families are deemed unable to assist with tuition costs. A typical Pell grant ranges from $400-$5,500. • Students who are Massachusetts residents can also qualify for a Mass State Scholarship with a range of $300-$1,600. • The neediest Lasell students can potentially qualify for a maximum of $7,000 in grants from other sources; these students look to Lasell for help with the rest. • The average indebtedness in borrowing money for college through student loans is $30K (paying over 10 years). • Lasell spends $500,000 to employ some 400 students on campus through the federal work study program; the federal government provides only $130,000 of this total amount. • The Lasell Fund and restricted and endowed scholarships, such as Saluti’s Joan Howe Weber ’51 Endowed Scholarship, help to underwrite Lasell’s financial aid program.

Where The Classroom Is The Real World

2011-2012

Lasell College welcomes four new members to its faculty for this academic year. “Our new hires bring a diversity of professional and academic expertise to the faculty,” Vice President for Academic Affairs James Ostrow tells Leaves. “They all have a deep commitment to a rigorous, project-focused approach to teaching and learning. This is an impressive group of faculty colleagues and student mentors.” Here, an introduction to these newest members of the Lasell community. Jose Guzman, visiting assistant professor of Spanish, earned his PhD in Latin American Literature at the University of Salamanca in Spain, where he also received his MA in Spanish Languages and Culture. He holds a BA in Philosophy from Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Ecuador, served as visiting instructor of Spanish at Wheaton College for three years and, more recently, as lecturer in Hispanic Studies at Brandeis University. Guzman’s scholarship focuses on the work of the Ecuadorian poet Jorge Enrique Adoum. Loredana Padurean, assistant professor of Management, earned both her PhD in Management and her MA in Economics and Communication at the University of Lugano, Switzerland, where she helped launch a Master of International Tourism program. Padurean’s scholarship focuses on international tourism; she has a BA in International Relations from the University of Babes Bolyai, Romania. She has held management positions in the areas of international tourism and event management in both Romania and Switzerland. Padurean served this past year as adjunct faculty at Brandeis University.

Anne Trevenen, visiting assistant professor of Fashion, is completing her MBA in Management with a focus on Entrepreneurship at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. She earned her BFA in Fashion Design at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Trevenen served as lecturer in Fashion Design at Lasell this past term, and formerly was adjunct faculty and internship coordinator in the Fashion Design program at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She has extensive experience in the apparel product development field as a designer, consultant and manager. Robert Zuar joins the full-time faculty this Fall as visiting assistant professor of Accounting, following several semesters as a lecturer. Zuar earned his BS in Accounting at the University of Connecticut; he is a certified public accountant, chartered financial analyst, chartered life underwriter and chartered financial consultant. In addition to teaching several courses, Zuar will oversee VITA, the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance program that involves Lasell students helping local residents with tax filing.

media matters Lasell College received press in dozens of publications this May, including The Boston Globe and Boston Herald, after Senator Scott Brown delivered a politically charged Commencement address to the Class of 2011 in May. Christine Lam, recent Lasell grad and Fashion Design major, was featured in The Boston Globe’s May article “Looking Good,” a piece on recent fashion graduates in the Boston area. Lam was also mentioned in a June MetroWest Daily News article when she won the annual Form to Fashion contest at the Natick Collection.

New England Cable News interviewed Marc Fournier (below), Lasell’s assistant director of Plant Operations and Sustainability, this summer about the College’s donation to tornado victims in Western Massachusetts.

Lasell Communication Professor Dana Janbek was quoted in an article on Generation 9/11 in The Christian Science Monitor. In September, “Too young to understand, ’Generation 9/11’ embraces media for meaning” was published online.

Lasell Athletic Director Chris Troyanos was quoted in an article by Cardiovascular Business in April 2011 related to the Boston Marathon. The Boston Herald Inside Track and The Boston Banner mentioned the Lasell Fashion Department’s Glamourous Fascination 75th Anniversary event in October at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, which featured the inaugural presentation of the Yolanda (Cellucci) Lifetime Achievement Award to philanthropist Frederic A. Sharf (below).

In September, The Boston Globe’s Names section covered Joan Hornig’s Philanthropy is Beautiful® Jewelry Collection exhibit at the Wedeman Gallery. The gala opening of the exhibit featured the designer/artist, displays of her work and a group of models wearing designs from alum Greg Hugil ’10 (above).

In July, Improper Bostonian magazine named Lasell alum Nara Paz ’09 Best Local Designer in its Boston’s Best issue. Lasell College’s Student Financial Planning Director Michele Kosboth offered tips for reducing student debt in a recent article published in August by bankrate.com entitled “Seven Surprising Ways to Cut Student Debt.” President Michael Alexander was quoted in an online article by The Newton Patch on federal cuts to graduate student loan programs in August 2011.

Frontline Fashion—a fashion exhibit at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham— received attention in The Boston Globe in June. The exhibit, which highlighted the intersection of military style with fashion, was curated by Lasell Professor Jill Carey and Eliza Fitzgerald ’11. This summer, The Chronicle of Higher Education named Lasell one of the “Great Colleges to Work For” for the third year in a row.

In June, Emily Brennan ’11 was featured in an article by The Patriot Ledger. The article mentions her work displayed at Neiman Marcus at the Natick Collection. 10

Missing Mila

How Two Families Became One “It meant so much to all three of us (Tom, Nelson and I) to be invited back to campus, so I could discuss the book and Nelson could introduce his film project on his journey of self-discovery as a disappeared child of the Salvadoran civil war,” Ward tells Leaves.

It is an incredible story. Missing Mila, Finding Family: An International Adoption in the Shadow of the Salvadoran Civil War tells the poignant and compelling tale of a 1983 adoption and its aftermath. On its own merit, the memoir is an amazing read. What makes it even more extraordinary is that the storyteller is Lasell’s own Margaret E. Ward, PhD, emerita professor of German, now retired after a 39-year career at Wellesley College, and recipient of a doctor of humane letters from Lasell in 2007. To Lasell alumni and friends she is best known simply as the wife of President Emeritus Thomas E. J. de Witt. Those who knew the couple during their years at the College may already be familiar with the story of their elder son, Nelson. Now, as part of its Louann Atkins Temple Women & Culture Series, the University of Texas Press has published a fascinating account of the de Witt saga. Part One traces the family’s experiences, from the mystery surrounding Nelson’s origins and the unusual role of the American Embassy in his adoption, to Nelson’s astonishing 1997 rediscovery by, and reunion with, members of his birth family. In Part Two, Ward opens up the story along three trajectories: First, she pieces together the lives of Nelson’s birth

“At the time of Nelson’s unexpected rediscovery by his birth family, our Lasell friends were so supportive. For 19 years the Lasell community was, in fact, our extended family. “

parents, Salvadoran guerrillas. Out of this, an internal dialogue with the “missing” birth mother, Mila, develops. Then, in the final chapter, Ward shows how their story is but one thread within a complex tapestry of post-civil war El Salvador. After the book’s October release, Margaret Ward and Nelson de Witt appeared at several campuses in the Boston area, including an interested gathering of Lasell faculty, staff and friends at the College’s de Witt Hall.

The memoir draws upon personal interviews, journal entries, letters, poems and photos. Some of the incorporated material was written either by Nelson or Derek de Witt, the couple’s younger son, and by members of Nelson’s Central American family. Ward also relies on the work of historians, investigative journalists and sociologists, but writes from the perspective of an adoptive mother as she tells the moving story of how two families became one. Missing Mila, Finding Family is available for purchase at the Donahue Bookstore on campus and from www.utexas.edu.

Exploring

Education

J i m O s t ro w ’ s J o u r n e y t o L a s e l l

How do students learn best? Is education being offered in a way that is accessible to all learners? These are deep and difficult questions often asked by the likes of educational theorists Jonathan Kozol and Ivan Illich. But as a precocious and self-confident high-schooler, Lasell’s Jim Ostrow was asking them too…and setting the foundation for his future career.

“In high school, I became interested in what was then called ’open education.’ I was interested in criticisms of educational theory,” says Ostrow, adding, “I developed a reputation for being a real

Lasell Leaves • Fall 2011

pain to my teachers.” He regularly challenged them to offer alternatives to their traditional classroom instruction. It was no surprise that Ostrow opted to attend Johnston College in Redlands, California (now the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies), where he was free from the constraints of grades and a set curriculum. There, at the beginning of each semester, professors would negotiate with their students about what they would teach, Ostrow recalls.

www.lasell.edu

“Connected Learning drew me to the College,” says Ostrow, who helped architect and implement Lasell’s educational philosophy. “We created a portfolio of work and an educational plan,” says Ostrow, Lasell’s Vice President for Academic Affairs, who took advantage of the setting to incorporate philosophical thinking into his studies of educational criticism. A study year at Boston University then led him to his mentor—Philosophy Professor Victor Kestenbaum—who encouraged him to investigate the philosophical writings of John Dewey. The philosopher proved to become a cornerstone of Ostrow’s ideas about education and teaching—as many Lasell students and faculty can attest. Ostrow often references Dewey when discussing the College’s Connected Learning educational philosophy. After a degree from Johnston College (where he met wife Christine), and an MEd from Boston University, Ostrow completed a PhD in Sociology from BU—a choice he made to expand his thinking in philosophy, education and social theory. The author of two sociology titles and several published articles related to his research completed stints as faculty, department chair and director of the Service-Learning Center at Bentley University, and as Penn State-Fayette’s chief academic officer before he landed at Lasell in 2001. “Connected Learning drew me to the College,” says Ostrow, who helped architect and implement Lasell’s educational philosophy—including the annual symposia. At Lasell he also embraced administrative aspects of education. Here in Auburndale…Ostrow’s colleagues are accustomed to robust debate on almost any subject as well as having the freedom to express their opinions. “The ability to let another person’s opinion hold sway, and then support them so they can be successful, is pleasurable,” Ostrow tells Leaves.

Where The Classroom Is The Real World

Engaging the Young: Ostrow reads to pre-schoolers at the Holway Child Study Center at The Barn on Lasell’s campus.

It is also here in Auburndale where he has made his home with Christine (Chris) and their three children (one a college grad, one an undergrad and one a high schooler) and where he plans his downtime: playing tennis, listening to symphonic music on a “real” turntable and fishing, fishing, fishing—for bass that is, not ideas.

Second Life

Neil Hatem

Yes, he’s all of that and more. Associate Professor

of Mathematics Neil Hatem’s scholarly interests may formally be centered on math, but his talent at engaging students in leadership and philanthropic activities knows few bounds. As a staple in the College’s Honors Program, for example, he has chaperoned a student group to New Orleans to assist with Hurricane Katrina clean-up, helped organize an on-campus festival to raise money for cystic fibrosis research, and worked with Habitat for Humanity to construct affordable housing for year-round residents of Martha’s Vineyard. Faculty chair to the Faculty Governance system for the past three academic years, Hatem also was an assistant coach for Lasell’s Women’s Basketball team (2005-2008). Leaves caught up with the man-about-campus over the summer, as he and his family prepared for their annual Martha’s Vineyard pilgrimage “to unwind and recharge.”

Lasell Family: The Hatems in a rare quiet moment.

Although Neil Hatem grew up in Newton, he never quite imagined he’d wind up teaching college in his hometown. After graduating from Tulane with a BS in Business, followed by a “brief and boring” stint with an accounting firm in Connecticut, he partnered with a Newton friend to found T.L.C. Pet Services, one of the first dog daycare venues around. At that point, Hatem also began coaching football, basketball and baseball at his alma mater Newton North High School and tutoring students in math at night. He still tutors high-school, SAT and ACT math prep, but that’s only the beginning of how the high-energy arithmetician fills his time. In the mid-1990s, Neil and his wife Danielle Lechel Hatem were offered a gig as innkeepers at Lasell’s bed-andbreakfast on campus (now Plummer 14

Lasell Leaves • Fall 2011

House). For a few years, Hatem juggled that role with his booming pet service business. In 1996, he accepted an adjunct position teaching math at the College, “and the rest,” he tells Leaves, “is history.” Hatem finished his master’s degree at Framingham State College in 2000, and in Fall 2010, got his EdD at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. As everyone around campus knows, the Hatems are a visible and welcome presence. Danielle, who has an MS in Special Education, has substituted at The Barn and Rockwell pre-schools and recently began teaching at the Auburndale Community Nursery School. Their children, Katelyn, age nine, and Ryan, age seven, attend the nearby Williams School. Other passions? Hatem runs two-to-six miles daily, plays basketball on Sunday mornings, recently completed a sprint and a half-Ironman distance triathlon and ran 5K races all summer. He is currently training for the 2012 Boston Marathon.

How does he balance his extensive academic, philanthropic and family interests? “I basically look at a 24-hour day and realize I need seven hours’ sleep to function, which leaves 17 hours for everything else!,” he smiles. The popular professor and all-around go-to guy appreciates his students as much as they appreciate him. “I like to see the look on students’ faces when they realize they can do math,” he tells Leaves. “The type of students attracted to Lasell fit my teaching style like a Lego.” As for supporting the Lasell Fund, Hatem tells Leaves it’s his way of “giving back to Lasell for all it’s given me.”

“I feel the College has provided a place where I can be rewarded for being me on a daily basis. I’m forever indebted to Lasell for this, and giving back is a great way to express my gratitude.”

Village Voice

Mary Black

A Life Filled with Art

Mary Weiner Tulchin Black’s Honda Accord knows the way to the MFA. And once inside Boston’s venerable Museum of Fine Arts, the Lasell Village resident navigates the hallowed halls with ease and knowing. “I spend time there regularly,” she tells Leaves. “I recently drove some Villagers to see the Dale Chihuly show.” Now: A home at the Village.

Not every octogenarian’s destination of choice, perhaps, but for Black it’s a natural. During her childhood, her parents took her through the great museums of Europe, cultivating an appreciation for art that remains central to her world view, one greatly informed by her World War II experiences. A native of Vienna, Black grew up in London and, like many Jewish children during the War years, was sent away from Europe seeking safety. She wound up in Canada, “a teenaged ’enemy alien,’ born in Austria, with a British passport, unable to enter the United States.” Through family connections—and some intervention from then-First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt—Black found herself on a train to New York City and a vibrant life that has, at times, “bordered on the edge of perfection.” After graduating from Elmira College and marrying businessman Philip Tulchin, she raised a family in Great

Neck, Long Island, had a weekend home in Southampton, NY, and eventually, an apartment in Manhattan “across from the Met.” During that 30-year span, she ran a pediatric playroom at a local hospital and, eventually, worked in real estate. With her second husband, retired developer Fairman Black, she moved to Beaufort, on the South Carolina coast, where the couple lived until his death. At that point, Black’s son, a corporate lawyer in New York, and her daughter, a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Boston (she also has five grandchildren), encouraged her to move north to be closer to them. “I chose Lasell Village, as most of the people here did, because of the academic component,” she tells Leaves. Black has shared her artistic “The classes are extraordinary, knowledge in a variety of from classical literature to lifelong learning settings, among them Regis College, pottery, philosophy to the Tufts Lifelong Learning at history of Jewish humor.” Brookhaven and, of course, Lasell Village. Last Spring’s talk by History Professor Dennis Frey on Nazis, Nightclubs and Nihilism: Metropolitan Life and Weimar Culture in Interwar Berlin helped set the context for the College’s musical production of Cabaret, and Black was there to listen and learn. While The New Yorkers pile up on her night table, and H.W. Janson’s classic History of Art tome rests in a place of honor on her desk, Black looks forward to teaching, and attending, courses in art history at the Village. When Leaves visited with her, she was busy re-reading Gabriel García Márquez’s OneHundred Years of Solitude for an upcoming course. The art lover who “still gets goose pimples” when she espies a Picasso or Michelangelo is also a devoted Democrat with a lifelong interest in progressive politics—which makes her a perfect fit for Village life. “I have the greatest admiration for some of my remarkable neighbors,” Black says. “Lasell Village represents the best of senior living.”

Then: A childhood in Europe. 15

Margaret Carvalho ’12 has come a long way from the kid who idolized Brandi Chastain to a fully-engaged Lasell student/athlete today. Captain of the Lasell Women’s Soccer team, the Swansea, MA native is also an international service learner, peer health educator, president of the student-run Niños de Veracruz effort, vice-president of the Student Athlete Advisory Council, Vagina Monologues participant, Girl Scout camp counselor and on and on. “Mags is a great representative of Lasell,” says Director of Athletics Kristy Walter. “On the field of play, she is a team leader who is engaged, thoughtful

Off the field, #8 is a History major with a concentration in the Social History of the Middle East and a Human Rights minor. She credits the guidance of her advisor, History Department Chair Professor Dennis Frey, along with Humanities Professor Joseph Aieta’s “amassed historical intelligence,” with helping shape her academic focus. And she points to the professional path of Kaitlin DeLucia, Lasell health educator and clinical counselor, as another strong influence. “When I first visited Lasell,” Carvalho tells Leaves, “I felt like I was more than a number. The teachers and coaches I met with emphasized the friendly, personal atmosphere of the school. That, coupled with the location, convinced me that Lasell was the right choice.”

One of her most powerful experiences as a Lasell undergraduate, she says, was the 2010 Shoulder-to-Shoulder group excursion to Mexico. “The trip to Veracruz was a great cultural experience as well as a test for the Spanish language I had spent so many years studying,” Carvalho says. “I left with a completely different view of the people of this struggling country to our south.” Looking ahead, Carvalho hopes to attend graduate school and eventually teach Middle Eastern history at a small college. “Mags is always dependable, positive and does a great job,” Kristy Walter adds. Proof positive that this senior is way more than just a number.

Javon Williams ’12

A Winner On and Off the Court

Shooter Williams: Driving to the basket.

Sit down with Lasell senior Javon Williams for five minutes and you find that the bright, wide smile that greeted you is absolutely sincere. This young man is excited about his life, enjoys what he does and loves where he is.

He’s the captain of his beloved Laser Men’s Basketball team, a resident assistant full of resources, and a Communications major with big hopes and dreams for his future. “Ever since I got here I’ve felt this way about the school. Lasell pulls you into the community. They definitely pulled me in,” he said in a summer interview with Leaves. Williams has plenty to be happy about. He’s coming off a very successful 2010-11 season where several times

Where The Classroom Is The Real World

he was named Player of the Week for the GNAC conference and ECAC regional conference, scored his 1,000th point and broke Lasell’s single-game scoring record (until it was later broken by one of his teammates). And, the Boston (Mattapan) native is poised to break the College’s career scoring record this year.

“My parents instilled in me the idea of college, but the goal was not just to go, it was to graduate and be serious,” he says.

The former high school champion eats and breathes basketball during the season, but while he’s committed to playing well individually, his focus is on the team.

And, although his dream career is to “play basketball for the rest of my life,” he is also carefully considering other options after graduation, including broadcast or video production.

“I want to make people understand that the individual accolades don’t matter, if it’s not with my guys. I’m very passionate about my boys and seeing everyone do well,” he says. Aaron Galletta, the Men’s Basketball coach for Lasell, sees a generous young man who works extremely hard both on and off the court. “He’s carrying three jobs here and doing so much to get through (college) and he still excels in the classroom and on the court. It speaks volumes,” says Galletta. “He is a winner and he works very hard. He’s the guy I can go to.”

His outgoing attitude has led to membership in the Multicultural Student Union and a position as a resident assistant in Rockwell, where he tries to be a guide for his residents.

“The faculty here want to help you, they are involved in your life and they make us feel like we can do it,” he says.

“The faculty here want to help you. They make us feel like we can do it.” There should be no doubt that wherever Williams lands, it will be firmly on his feet, smiling that signature smile.

While Williams was recruited for his basketball skills, he is earnest about all aspects of life at Lasell. Going “halfway” is not a part of his vocabulary.

REUNION

2011

There was something for everyone at Reunion Weekend 2011, and it seemed like just about everyone who returned to campus agreed. Alumni participation was up by 24 percent over last year, with a diverse mix of ages in attendance. In addition to special celebrations for Lasell classes ending in 1’s and 6’s (you know who you are), the glorious June weekend featured an alumni fashion show (with a first-ever design competition won by Julie Kontos ‘07), a jazz breakfast, parade of classes, River Day races at the Stoller Boat House, special class reunion gatherings, a 50th-reunion reception for the Class of 1961 (whose Laura Jensen Hyer received the Lasell Medallion at reunion, along with Overseer Dr. Charlotte Lindgren Winslow), an ice cream social, a lobster bake with live music, campus and Lasell Village tours and much more. See you next year! For more information, go to www.lasell.edu/reunion.

Extra Credit

Q&A

Christina Gallardo ’11 MS

Exactly

Where She Wants to Be

Christina Gallardo ’11 credits her soft landing on a professional track after earning a graduate degree from Lasell to the inter-departmental synergy she experienced at the College. Three talented mentors— Adrienne Franciosi, director of Graduate Admission; Sarah Burrows, director of Internship Programs and assistant professor of Communication; and Sallyann Kakas, career counselor and coordinator of Employer Relations—were able to guide Gallardo to an internship that she successfully parlayed into a full-time position. Leaves caught up with Gallardo, now director of advertising and marketing for Boston’s G2O and Emerge Spas + Salons, during a busy morning at the upscale Newbury Street venues. Leaves: What brought you to Lasell’s Master of Science in Communication program? Gallardo: I enrolled in the program, concentrating in Integrated Marketing, because it combined public relations, marketing, advertising and organizational communication.

Kindra Clineff photo

Leaves: Thoughts about the experience?

Lasell Leaves • Fall 2011

Gallardo: The graduate program is so convenient for working professionals. The hybrid option sold me; I was able to have face-toface interaction with my professors and do course work online.

Leaves: How, in particular, did Lasell staff help to prepare you for post-MS life? Gallardo: Adrienne was supportive throughout, Sarah coached me during my final semester until I was able to find an internship and then a position in the field, and Sallyann was a great resource about interviewing strategies and salary negotiation. Those relationships were invaluable.

Leaves: Any advice for other recent grads entering the job market? Gallardo: Be patient. Don’t lose sight of where you want to be in your career. I was out of full-time work for a year before I enrolled at Lasell, but I stayed focused. And, with the support and combined wisdom of my Lasell mentors, I’m exactly where I want to be.

Jean Campbell ’44

Jean “Soupie” Campbell ’44, a charter member of The Heritage Society, died on April 12, 2011. An investment counselor, philanthropist and community volunteer, Campbell’s far-reaching career benefited the lives of many women. And she modestly attributed her professional accomplishment to her years at Lasell. “Some people go to college to get lost in the experience,” she told Leaves in 2000. “I went to be found. Lasell not only gave me my start but continues to provide graduates with a chance for success.”

Scouts of America professional and later became executive director of the New Bedford YWCA, where she championed job training for seniors.

A native Vermonter, Campbell was a Liberal Arts major at Lasell during World War II, lived in Bragdon and Briggs Halls and was remembered in her senior yearbook as “Most Versatile” and “Most Athletic.” She went on to graduate from Pembroke College with a degree in psychology, spent 22 years as a Girl

In presenting her with the Lasell Medallion at her 60th reunion in 2004, then-President Thomas de Witt called Campbell “a woman who looks outwardly at the whole world, one of those rare individuals whose life has touched so many through her quiet dedication to the principles in which she believes.”

Lasell Leaves • Fall 2011

Campbell was a loyal and generous Lasell alumna who established two charitable gift annuities to benefit her alma mater, served as coordinator of her 45th reunion, on the Alumni Board of Management and as a Corporator of the College on the Planned Giving Committee for the Lasell 150 Campaign.

Donor Report

Bridge to the Future Update

The following list includes those generous donors who have made gifts and pledges, in addition to their Lasell Fund donations, in support of the Bridge to the Future (BTTF) fundraising initiative, a three-year campaign launched in fiscal 2010 to provide for Lasell’s robust facility, endowment and operating needs. As of June 30, 2011, over $7.2 million has been raised for these purposes. Robert Arnow, former Overseer and Lasell Village Trustee, and husband of the late Joan Weiler Arnow ’49, has offered Lasell a $1 million Challenge Grant to ensure that the College meet its $10 million BTTF fundraising goal. To support the Arnow Challenge—which calls for the Lasell community to raise $2.8 million—all new and increased gifts to the BTTF effort made between May 16, 2011 and June 30, 2012, including Lasell Fund and documented planned gifts, will qualify.

Setting a Goal: Robert Arnow.

Gus Batista ’02

‘Everyone Should Get Involved!’ A business major as an undergraduate, now an operations manager for Audi of America franchises in Miami and the Caribbean, Gus Batista ’02 is a vibrant ambassador for Lasell. Leaves caught up with the busy young alum as his 10th reunion approaches (June 1-3, 2012). What attracted you to Lasell? Its small classroom environment and Connected Learning philosophy. Memorable professor? I learned a lot from Associate Professor of Accounting Richard Frederics who was (and still is) always willing to go the extra mile for students.

Hobbies? Traveling and experiencing different cultures. Your alma mater clearly means a lot to you. Say more. Lasell was a home away from home, a place that challenged me to be a better person, allowed me to grow and helped me become who I am today. Why do you think it’s important for young alums to support Lasell? It's important to give back, because you need to stand behind your educational institution. The Lasell name is part of my career profile; it goes with me everywhere I go and helps define my accomplishments. Giving back opens the door for future grants and growth. Every amount counts, no matter how big or small. Everyone should get involved!

www.lasellalumni.org/lasellfund The Lasell Fund is Lasell’s annual giving program that encourages alumni, parents and friends of the College to support today’s students with a gift to the school. Visit www.lasellalumni.org/lasellfund, or contact Haegan Forrest, director of Annual Giving and Constituent Relations, at hforrest@lasell.edu or 617.243.2165 to learn more about how you can make a difference.
