Seattle University is recognized for its impressive— and substantial—art collection. Works by Chuck Close, Jacob Lawrence, Dale Gottlieb, Dale Chihuly and many more are located in buildings and outdoor spaces throughout campus, enriching the educational experience. One of the newest additions to the collection is outside of the A&A Building, home to Alumni Relations and Admissions. The piece, titled Transformations, is the work of Native American glass artist Preston Singletary. The piece is composed of water jet-cut aluminum, powder-coated enamel, water jet-cut flat glass and steel. Singletary’s art “depicts cultural and historical images from his Tlingit ancestry in richly detailed, beautifully hued glass,” according to the biography on his website. Visit the A&A Building to see for yourself and check out more of the artist’s work at www.prestonsingletary.com/.

DID YOU KNOW?

SERVICE IN COMMUNITY Seattle University was recently ranked ninth in the nation for its contributions to the public good in Washington Monthly’s 2011 list of master’s universities. The publication evaluated more than 550 institutions in three categories: recruiting and graduating low-income students; producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs; and encouraging students to give something back to their country. “This recognition is particularly meaningful to us as Washington Monthly’s criteria for evaluating institutions are very much in congruence with the values of our university,” says Provost Isiaah Crawford. SU made a strong showing in a number of areas that Washington Monthly considers. The university is second in the nation for a measure that includes staff participation for service activities, incorporating service in academic course work and the availability of scholarships for community service.

Service in the community and for others runs deep at SU, with 3 out of 4 students giving back through community service. Read more about the rankings at www.seattleu.edu/magazine/.

As a sign of the College of Science and Engineering’s growing strength, three faculty members received more than $750,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation. Professor and Chair David Boness and Associate Professor Paul Fontana of the physics department received $581,800 for the new Boscovich Physics Scholars Program, while Associate Professor John Carter of the mathematics department has secured $168,822 for research on waves. The grant for Fontana and Boness is a five-year commitment that provides scholarships of up to $10,000 per year, renewable up to four years, for at least 16 SU students enrolled in physics or physics/engineering courses of study. SU’s program is one of just 80 funded out of the 363 proposals received for the NSF S-STEM (Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program. In mathematics, Carter is putting his NSF award to work to study the behavior of waves, particularly surface waves propagating on water and waves in shallow water. The research is expected to yield a variety of practical applications. As one example, Carter is seeking to develop a model for “predicting dangerous versus benign tsunamis” based on “the Richter-scale measure of the responsible earthquake and some readily available information about the geology of its location.”

Building an ARC to Success | By Katherine Hedland Hansen Law school celebrates commitment to access and 25th anniversary of the Academic Resource Center Graduates came from as far as Texas and Hawaii to pay tribute to Seattle University School of Law’s lifechanging Academic Resource Center for its 25th anniversary in early fall. The anniversary celebration recognized the law school’s uninterrupted commitment to access and diversity in the legal profession through the ARC Access Admissions Program and its early-entry predecessor, and honored the more than 700 alumni who have enhanced the profession with their service. This program, one of the few remaining true access programs in the country, is changing the face of the legal profession. “It seems like every time I meet someone who is really doing something in the community, judges and leaders in the legal profession, they are invariably graduates of the ARC

program,” says Dean Mark Niles. President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., spoke at a reception about how proud he is of the university’s commitment to provide access to legal education to people from underrepresented groups. An anonymous donor who also believes in that mission has created an endowment of more than $8 million for ARC scholarships. The Access Admission Program considers an applicant’s life experience and promise in addition to traditional admission criteria, and ARC provides the support necessary for their success. Given access to legal education, ARC alumni enrich the law school and the profession. Although they comprise only 10 percent of the total student population, ARC students are well represented as faculty scholars, Student Bar Association presidents and graduation speakers. Many go on

to be leaders in the legal profession, bar associations and their communities. And they continue to serve the law school long after graduation. ARC alumni thrive in all forms of practice. They are state and federal court clerks, partners and associates, prosecutors and defense attorneys, public interest lawyers, attorneys for nonprofit organizations, educators, corporate counsel and judges. During the event, alumni of the program thanked ARC co-founders and Professors Paula Lustbader and David Boerner for their support, skills and encouragement. King County District Court Judge Mark Chow is a 1979 graduate of the law school who was part of the early-entry program. He’s grateful for the opportunity he and many other students from underrepresented groups have had, thanks to the law school. “I was the only person of color to graduate with my class,” he says. “Look where we are now.”

Newcomers and veterans ready for men’s and women’s basketball action in the World University Games, the second largest international tournament to the Olympics. “I think it brought me a lot of confidence to know I can play with skilled international players. I’m excited to be here with my team, contributing what I learned,” she says. “We are going to have a really good year and everybody is committed and into it. We all believe we can do well this year.” Veterans like Kerfoot will serve an important role as team leaders and mentors to the incoming freshman joining the team. In addition to last season’s offensive leader Kerfoot, SU returns eight letter winners and welcomes its largest group of newcomers since Bonvicini took over

the program, with a mix of seven true freshmen and transfers. The Redhawks also will look to senior Talisa Rhea, who was an All-Pacific 12 performer at Oregon State before transferring to SU last year as a major contributor. After redshirting last season, she has had the opportunity to gel with the coaches and her teammates to better prepare and provide veteran experience to the lineup. As for the men’s team, since the arrival of Dollar as head coach in April 2009, the program has won 28 games, including road victories at Oregon State, Utah and Virginia, as well as wins over Oregon State, Weber State and Fresno State at KeyArena at Seattle Center. Height-wise, Coach Dollar has put together his biggest team for the 2001–12 season, with eight players on the roster that are at least 6’7” tall. Senior Aaron Broussard believes that the new players will

Juniors Gavin Gilmore and Chad Rasmussen and sophomore Sterling Carter, the other two letter winners from the 2010–11 campaign, are back as well. The team also will benefit from the availability of Clarence Trent and Jarell Flora, who did not play last season, but were able to practice with the team and become familiar with Coach Dollar’s system.

THE WELLNESS EXPERIENCE At the opening of Seattle University’s new William F. Eisiminger Fitness Center, President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., told a rapt audience just how important a fitness center is in creating a full and rich educational experience. “The fitness center was the piece missing from providing that great college experience,” Father Sundborg said. Just as the Chapel of St. Ignatius is the spiritual center of campus and the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons the intellectual heart, the fitness center fulfills the wellness part of the equation. Wellness is integral to SU’s commitment of “educating the whole person.” In addition to a first-class fitness facility, the university offers a host of programs and services, from counseling and assistance in mental health matters to healthy food choices and more, that promote wellness. Read on to learn more about how our students, faculty, staff and alumni stay fit and find balance.

The fitness center is equipped with a slew of weight lifting and body strengthening equipment.

the latest and greatest workout machines signal this is a 21st-century fitness facility. The shiny and new two-story center, officially named the William F. Eisiminger Fitness Center in honor of alumnus and generous supporter Bill Eisiminger, adjoins the existing Connolly Center (read about the man behind the name on page 19). The fitness center significantly enhances the overall educational experience. As the Chapel of St. Ignatius is the spiritual center and the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons the intellectual heart, the fitness center responds to students’ need for a top-notch workout and wellness space. The fitness center reflects the marked transformation

of the physical campus in the past 10-plus years. Beyond promoting health, fitness and overall wellness, the center is the largest investment in campus fitness in more than 40 years. Executive Vice President Timothy Leary underscores this point when he calls the new facility “a significant investment in student life.” “With a campus fitness center like this we provide an anchor point for our students,” says Derek Hottell, director of university recreation. “They become happier, healthier and lead more successful lives.” Early reviews on the center, which officially opened in late September, are full of raves. Visitors working out on the treadmills or elliptical machines on the second floor get a scenic view as the fitness center looks out onto Championship Field. There were 2,700 visitors in the first five days of opening. Freshmen roommates Cayla Olson of Spokane and Noah Campbell of Park City, Utah, are especially impressed with the new cardio equipment. “It’s so high-tech compared with anything I’ve experienced,” Olson says. “This is the nicest gym I’ve ever been to,” adds Campbell, who typically works out five days a week. The new center has nearly $300,000 in cardio machines and strength equipment. The 21,000-square-foot center has loads of distinctive features, from the rain garden outdoors to the soothing sage-colored mind-body studio with its hardwood floor

THE WELLNESS EXPERIENCE

And of course, who wouldn’t want to watch the Redhawk soccer teams defeat our opponents while going for a run on one of the new treadmills.” The way Hottell sees it, the fitness center is an important element in SU’s commitment to educating the whole person. “The Chapel of St. Ignatius is the embodiment of the education of the spirit. The Lemieux Library is the embodiment of the education of the mind,” he says. “Now we have the Eisiminger Fitness Center, which represents the education of the body.” The wellness movement that’s unfolding at the nation’s colleges and universities indicates the timing is right for a facility like this on SU’s campus, Hottell points out. Deb Hinchey, SU’s director of wellness and health promotion, agrees. A spring 2011 assessment by the American College Health Association indicates 58 percent of Seattle University students do moderate-intensity cardio and aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes one to four times a week, Hinchey says. More than 40 students and three professional staff members are on hand during regular hours to assist visitors, provide quick tutorials on the different equipment and continued on page 18

for salsa and spin classes. There’s also a dedicated space for martial arts. The cardio level includes enough electrical outlets to accommodate as many as 120 pieces of equipment. The weight lifting area has nearly doubled in size. One unique feature that isn’t found in many fitness centers is artwork, which is displayed throughout the building. For those who want some distraction while working up a sweat—and don’t want to be too far from technology—the fitness center has it covered. There are several large flat screen TVs high against the front wall on the second level, allowing visitors to get their cardio workout on a treadmill, recumbent bike or elliptical while catching up on the news, a sitcom or reality TV show. There are also viewing screens on several of the machines and plug-ins for handheld music players. “I love the fact that I no longer have to wait to use an elliptical or treadmill during what’s considered the building’s peak times, lunch and afternoons,” says Leilani Balais, assistant director of Alumni Relations. “There are a variety of machines that allow you to diversify your workouts, both on the cardio floor and the weight floor.

make sure you have the correct athletic shoes for the machines—that means no ballet flats or flip flops. For the weight lifters, they’ll also spot you. Alumnus Ernie Dunston, ’64, was one of the first to use the fitness center. Dunston, a former member of the SU Alumni Board of Governors and SU basketball player, had worked out at Connolly for longer than he could recall. “This is great,” Dunston says. “Bill Eisiminger must be very proud.” Another plum is that the fitness center achieved a gold ranking from the Leadership in Energy and

Alvin Sturdivant, assistant vice president for Student Development, emphasizes that navigating stress—both physical and emotional—is part of the student experience that can’t be overlooked. He sees the fitness center as a way to expand strategies for greater self-care. “The habits our students develop now are likely to be held for a lifetime, whether bad or good,” he says. “We’re not saying, ‘What you’re doing is unhealthy,’ we’re just giving them a different perspective on it.”

The first floor of the fitness center is home to an impressive collection of weights and weight machines.

THE WELLNESS EXPERIENCE

The Man Behind the Name Alumnus Bill Eisiminger embraces fitness center that bears his name Bill Eisiminger at his home in Seattle.

During a workout at the William F. Eisiminger Fitness Center, you have to feel gratitude toward the person whose name is on the building. When Bill Eisiminger, ’67, ’73 MEd, toured the gleaming new facility, he said, “This is the realization of a dream not just for me but for our students.” The dynamic donor and member of the Board of Regents is both bold and playful, a lot like the physical education coach he was in the late 1960s and early ’70s for elementary students at Holy Rosary School in West Seattle. Long before he entered SU in the early 1960s, Eisiminger watched the campus and surrounding neighborhood go through plenty of changes. He grew up just steps from campus in a Madison Street home that’s now the site of the International House of Pancakes. Today, he lives not far from the university in a lively high-rise retirement community. It’s here that Eisiminger reaches into one of his closets so he can share a point of tremendous pride—a copy of an author-autographed book, Jimi Hendrix, Voices From Home by Mary Willix. He flips through the hardback until he can find the pages that highlight one of his prized youthful memories. An accomplished bass and saxophone player and singer, Eisiminger got to know the legendary Hendrix in English class at Seattle’s Garfield High School. They frequently talked music and jammed together with other young musicians.

As an educator, he taught PE, science and reading at Holy Rosary for five years and became a vice principal there before he returned to SU to get his master’s in education in 1973. He then became principal at Holy Family Parish School in Kirkland. By 1980, he had it in mind to take a year off from his work at Holy Family. He started to buy real estate and he purchased so much residential and commercial property that he found he couldn’t straddle two careers. Soon Eisiminger became president and owner of Barcelona Enterprises Inc. Eisiminger says he has always had a passion for athletics and fitness and recognized the aging Connolly Center just wasn’t serving the fitness needs of today’s students.

“This is the realization of a dream not just for me but for our students.” Bill Eisiminger, ’67, ’73, commenting on the new fitness center “It definitely was time,” he says, describing his motivation for contributing to the fitness center. Then, nearly three years ago, his life took a big turn. His first notion something was wrong came when he regained consciousness after he ran into a half dozen parked vehicles near campus. Eisiminger had no clue what happened. The next morning he was at the Chapel of St. Ignatius for Mass and a Regents meeting and was having trouble organizing his thoughts and putting words together. Before long, he was in an ambulance on the way to Swedish Medical Center. Doctors told him he suffered a series of seven strokes. The way Eisiminger sees it, one life ended and another began that day. Today, he’s on the road to recovery. Five days a week he is in physical therapy, hopeful about regaining his strength and mobility. And he’s looking forward to using the fitness center soon.

Round 3

eating well SU’s food options are healthful and plentiful

he new fitness center is good for the body. But an important element of the living well and being well puzzle is what you eat. And at Seattle University, the options for healthy food—and more importantly, good eats that are good for the environment, too—are impressive. So much so that in Sierra Club’s recent “Cool Schools” survey, SU was one of only two schools out of 118 nationwide to score a nine out of 10 for its environmentally friendly offerings.

“We’re here to serve customers. We’re not here to preach and prevent them from eating what they want.” Buzz Hofford, resident district manager, Bon Appétit Management Company Buzz Hofford, resident district manager for Bon Appétit Management Company, SU’s food-service provider, says it’s a great example of how Bon Appétit and SU partner for positive change. Think back to almost any university’s cafeteria food options of a few decades ago: canned fruit with high fructose corn syrup, frozen vegetables, loads of starches and mystery meats disguised in sauces laced with monosodium glutamate and a heavy hand on the salt shaker. The demand for healthy foods and a greater interest in where it comes from has translated into food beyond the standard lunchroom fare, says Hofford. “The salad bar has always been a hallmark of our operation. Volumes have increased consistently year to year,” he says. “You find a lot of canned and frozen foods on most college salad bars. Ours are all fresh.” Then there’s the “frugal option,” a Bon Appétit meal that’s under $5, but still healthy. “It used to be a deep-fried food. Now it’s a fully balanced vegan meal: a plate piled high with steamed, fresh vegetables, an interesting grain like bulgur or

quinoa and protein-rich legumes such as scarlet runner, favas or black-eyed peas,” Hofford says. “It’s super healthy, inexpensive and truly delicious.” Just 10 years ago, vegetarians and vegans were a small minority on campus. That has changed, with vegetarian options often outselling their meaty counterparts. Consumer awareness and diverse dietary needs have impacted menus and labeling as well as purchasing decisions. Students today want to know more about what goes into what they eat. Ethically sourced coffee, milk free of artificial bovine growth hormones, cage-free eggs that are Certified Humane and “Farm to Fork” produce harvested within 150 miles of campus are just a few of Bon Appétit’s commitments to its customers. “We’re here to serve customers. We’re not here to preach and prevent them from eating what they want,” Hofford says. “But it’s also a time in their lives when they can start to learn about ethical food supply chains, where their food comes from.” Hofford spends a lot of time educating students on Bon Appétit’s mission. He meets regularly with representatives of student government and the Residence Hall Association, not just to pitch the Bon Appétit mission, but also to solicit feedback. “Students are our most important customers,” he says. “When they’re happy, I’m happy.”

YOGI FOR LIFE Yoga passageway to wellness for Microsoft worker

hen George Makarenko was just 9 years old, he got his first introduction to yoga and was well on his way to a life of wellness. Over summer break he discovered a small Hatha yoga book in his family’s library and spent the next three months practicing postures and breathing techniques. His high-level interest in yoga continued into the next school year when he was able to demonstrate his newfound abilities—including holding his breath under water and swimming across an Olympic-size pool. Though yoga was his newfound passion, it would be years later before he would fully understand the meaning behind the art. “Yoga has several aspects to it, all of which lead an individual inward and toward the center, making him/her stronger, more balanced and energized,” he says. Every couple of months, he leads a four-day yesplus workshop (at SU and other Seattle-area locations) based on the Art of Living philosophies of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The workshops aim to create more awareness about a healthy and stress-free way of life. “Art of Living helped me discover that yoga includes much more than holding my breath. …” he says. “Yoga, breathing techniques and meditation get you out of your head. We also blend volunteer service into the workshop so participants can sink even deeper into the experience.” In the fall, workshop participants took part in a service project with Somali refugees. Last summer, Makarenko joined 50,000 others to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Art of Living Foundation with a two-day festival of world culture and peace in Berlin, Germany. What keeps him on this healthful path? “Seeing my students shine with smiles and enthusiasm

at the end of each course is the ultimate satisfaction.” Makarenko, a 2011 graduate of SU’s Master of Software Engineering program, also derives satisfaction from his work at Microsoft. When Makarenko first came to the United States from Russia, he was a high school exchange student who landed in the town of Castle Rock in Cowlitz County, Wash.

“Yoga, breathing techniques and meditation get you out of your head.” George Makarenko, ’11 MSE Fifteen years later, the program manager at Microsoft smiles when he thinks about how far he has come and where he is today—developing Web services to enable interactive support communities to be creative. Some of Makarenko’s areas of expertise include Web services aimed at self-help community forum experiences for Windows, Office and Internet Explorer. He had found his way to SU’s College of Science and Engineering when he recognized his career might call for stronger skills in software development. SU proved the best option, he says. “With its evening classes, the MSE program is tailored to people who are working for companies like Microsoft and Boeing,” he says. “Over the three years I was in the MSE program, I grew technically on my job at Microsoft and that was important for me.” To find out more about George Makarenko’s upcoming yesplus yoga workshops and SU classes, visit http://secure.artofliving.org/.

Staying Well Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides valuable resources to students on issues of wellness and mental health

t’s as though she’s helping students learn to fly, says Kim Caluza, director of Seattle University’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), when she describes what it’s like to counsel students as they steer past rough spots in their lives. “We’re good at knowing what a student is experiencing. We can get them connected so they can grow their roots at SU,” she says. “It’s all about helping them find the resources so they can navigate and connect.” Wellness plays an integral role in many aspects of the overall college experience. Like a net below a trapeze artist, the numerous support services of CAPS provide students with added security when they falter. “We recommend students get in to see us before they have a crisis,” says Caluza, adding that a student typically can see a therapist within two weeks and CAPS offers urgent care appointments every weekday. In addition, quarterly campus screenings address issues around alcohol and drugs, anxiety, depression and eating. During summer orientation, Caluza makes a presentation to parents and students so they know more about the services of CAPS and about mental health in general. Student leaders, including resident assistants, receive basic training in mental health issues so they can develop good antennae, gauge how to respond to a situation or crisis and when to refer fellow students to CAPS. “I tell our staff that students often just need a place to land,” Caluza says. “When students come here, they get to be real and tell us what they’re anxious about. They can be comfortable and safe in this space. Here, it’s confidential and private.” Relationships, depression and anxiety are the leading issues that motivate students to seek counseling from one of the six licensed psychologists at CAPS. CAPS serves eight or nine percent of the student population from year to year. That amounts to more than 3,400 appointments annually. Students may participate in individual or couple therapy or group sessions. CAPS also offers referrals for community-based mental health resources. The fall crunch time for CAPS has passed now. Late October and early November—when students are adjusting to campus life as well as their first exams of the school year—can be a busy time for counselors. Another crunch comes in May, when finals and end-ofthe-year projects loom large.

Caluza emphasizes SU’s deep commitment to the fundamental Jesuit value cura personalis (a Latin term that translates into care of the whole person). That commitment has an impact on current students and leaves its imprint on alumni as well. “When they get ready to graduate, our students talk about their connectedness and the Seattle University values,” she says. “They’re very serious about what they will contribute to global and local communities and how they’ll make a difference.”

hat people do to wriggle out of their woes and banish the winter blahs and blues says plenty about their creative strengths. Just ask any number of Seattle University folks what they do when they’re fogged in by a funk. Inventive? Playful? You bet. Sometimes a little surprising, too. Who would think a pair of slippers, a car radio, a

load of clean clothes fresh from the dryer or a sketchpad might have the ability to lift one’s spirits? We asked several members of the campus community—from faculty and staff to students—what they do to bust the blues. Their responses were especially heartening with the dark and chilly days of winter upon us.

BEATING THE

WINTER BLUES JACKIE HELFGOTT, who chairs the Criminal Justice department, seeks balance—and exercise—to beat the blues. She runs. A lot. “… About 35–50 miles a week, marathons, usually two full marathons a year,” she says. “The other thing I like to do is draw. I’m part of the Urban Sketchers of Seattle. I try to go out sketching whenever I can. I love doing that.” AMY LANE, gift and data integrity coordinator for University Advancement, wears something blue to thwart the blues. “After a rough day, I’ll take a moment to myself, let out a deep sigh of relief and put on my comfy blue slippers,” Lane says. “…They just have a way of making me feel better.” Men’s basketball coach CAMERON DOLLAR counts his blessings when he’s feeling down. “I literally make a list of all the things I can be thankful for,” he says. “That always works for me.” And, he adds, “I’ll watch NFL football, because I love football.” ERIN LANE, ’12, president of the REDZONE, likes his lattes. “When I’m feeling the blues I like to whip myself up a latte on my espresso machine and get some tunes going on my surround sound and chill out, listen and sip away,” he says. Sitting quietly intensifies being in the dumps for SUE HOGAN, director of marketing and communications for the School of Theology and Ministry.

The thought of Gene Kelly dancing around d lamp posts in a downpour and singing that 1950s classic “Singin’ in the Rain” prompts her to sing out loud when nobody’s around. JANI MEDEIROS, administrative assistant at Albers who is pursuing a master’s in professional accounting, lifts her spirits in an unconventional way. All is right with her world when she follows a ritual of a little-known saint named Hunna, whose Saint Day happens to fall on her birthday. “She is the patron saint of laundry workers,” Medeiros says. “I like to fold laundry. It relaxes me,” she says. “If I’m really upset, I’ve even had the urge to wash clean clothes just so I could refold them. But I wouldn’t because it’s a waste of water, and besides, my husband would kill me.” Seattle University Librarian JOHN POPKO escapes by, well, escaping with music. “When I get the blues my first reaction is to pout and feel sorry for myself, until it eventually goes away. Then I like to listen to a little Patsy Cline or George Jones. There’s nothing like a heart-broken country song to help put one’s own problems in perspective.” KEVIN MAIFELD, professor and director of the MFA Arts Leadership program, sticks with what he knows. “I go see a play or a musical I know I’ll really like,” he says. “I try to get into the theater. It always works for me to take my mind off things. JAKE DIAZ, vice president for Student Development, has a bevy of tricks to ward off the blues, including reflecting on the many things he’s grateful for, listening to calming piano music, taking a walk and fishing.

Thanks to our generous alumni and friends, Seattle University is well positioned to meet the challenges of educating students as leaders for a just and humane world. This year with help from our Board of Trustees we set out to connect with alumni through our “600+ Challenge.” We are especially grateful to the more than 920 new alumni donors who participated and I am proud to share that alumni from every decade since the 1960s gave their first gifts to the university through this campaign. We also received an enthusiastic response to the launch of the Seattle University Youth Initiative. Alumni and friends are excited to join with us in this long-term commitment to partner with parents, the Seattle School District, the City of Seattle, foundations, faith communities and more than 30 community organizations to help children of Seattle succeed in school and in life. Altogether, donors contributed $19.8 million in support of Seattle University students during the 2010–11 fiscal year. In addition to funding undergraduate and graduate scholarships within all of the colleges and schools, we are pleased to report these milestones: The completion of the William F. Eisiminger Fitness Center created a new home for recreational sports and fitness for all students. The new Pigott Family Endowment for the Arts in the College of Arts & Sciences launched a residency program giving students opportunities to engage with outstanding visiting artists. Our Redhawk pride continues to grow as Athletics surpassed 1,000 donors for the first time.

JORDAN BELMONTE, ’10 /RECENT GRADUATES PRESIDENT’S CLUB Jordan Belmonte, a 2010 graduate of Seattle University’s Strategic Communications program in the College of Arts & Sciences, has a unique perspective on the importance of giving. During her four years at SU she worked as a Tell-aHawk phonathon caller, telling the story of the university while asking for contributions to support students and programs. “It was great to connect with all the alumni and work with people to fundraise for the school,” says Belmonte, who is a product marketing manager at Microsoft. As a donor herself, she supports the Public Relations Student Society of America club through contributions to the Student Activities Fund. The club was invaluable in providing support and tools, both personally and professionally, that she uses today in her work with Microsoft. “Giving is about supporting what you are passionate about,” she says. “You can contribute to the part of your SU experience that is most meaningful to you.” Ken and Pattie Hitch John and Christina Hogan Susan and Dr. James Hogan William and Sarah Hogan Paul Holland and Tana Lin Pam Hom John and Lisa Hooper Steve and Patricia Hopps Lorraine Hougham Joseph Howard, Jr. Estate of Robert W.

PRESIDENT’S CLUB, CONTINUED

DAVID MADSEN, ’69, GAYATRI EASSEY, ’03 / FACULTY & STAFF GIVING Two Seattle University alums, David Madsen, associate professor of history, and Gayatri Eassey, associate director for external relations with Career Services, co-chaired this year’s Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign. This year, 44 percent of SU’s faculty and staff gave to the campaign, up from 40 percent last year. The success of the campaign speaks to the strengths of the university, its Jesuit values and dedication to providing a first-rate and well-rounded education to students. “The primary reason I agreed to serve as co-chair of the campaign is because this institution continually invests and reinvests not only in our students but also in our faculty and staff,” Eassey says. “As an employee it’s just my small way of being able to give back for what I’ve been given, both as a member of the staff but also as an alum. The tradition of giving back began when I graduated and it’s been reinforced by my opportunity to be here as a staff member.” Adds Madsen, “I was also a student here and a recipient of scholarship assistance. A lot of my giving to the university is directed to programs that I believe in very strongly. “Probably the majority of my giving goes to the library because I believe the library is the heart and soul of a university.”

PAULINE GUPPY, ’49, ’69 AND JOE GUPPY, ’77, ‘98 Pauline Guppy, ’49, ’69 MIT, and her son Joe, ’77, ’98 MAP, say their motivation to give to Seattle University has much to do with supporting the Jesuits. “My Seattle University degrees have given me a faith-based and philosophically based foundation for more effective action on behalf of my values,” Joe says. He suggests other potential donors examine their own deeper values. They may find that giving to SU is the best way to propagate those values for future generations, including through gifts by will. Pauline isn’t likely to forget the tenacity of Father William LeRoux, S.J., when it came time to donate to the President’s Club. “He wouldn’t take no for an answer,” she says. As an SU student, Pauline met her husband the late William A. Guppy, ’50, when he was president and she vice president of the campus philosophy club in 1948. She then worked on staff at SU and taught high school for a short while. Later she became a nationally published author of children’s short stories. The late William Guppy, in 1970, became the first layman to serve as academic vice president, a position he held for a decade that spanned three SU presidents. In addition to Joe, three other Guppy children are alumni: Edward, ’76, Paul, ’82, and Mark, ’88. Joe and Pauline’s President’s Club donations are earmarked for the Jan Rowe Scholarship Fund, as is Pauline’s bequest through her will. Jan Rowe was a foundational influence on the Master’s in Psychology program and a friend and colleague of William Guppy. “We sometimes referred to Jan as our ‘den mother’ when I was a student,” says Joe, who today is a psychotherapist with a Seattle practice. “She was the compassionate heart of the program.”

Former SU baseball player Gary Pennington stands on Logan Field during a recent visit to SU.

The Vancouver, B.C., native and father of seven feels blessed to have had the opportunity to watch and know some of SU’s All-American athletes from Elgin Baylor to Johnny and Eddie O’Brien, Cal Bauer and others. At SU, one of his fondest memories is having the chance to share the court on rare occasion with Elgin Baylor. “Sports have been a big part of my life. But the most important thing for me is the fine people I have known and the relationships I have enjoyed,” he says. “I have tremendous regard for the people who I played with and who have coached me.” Pennington’s story is unique not only for his abilities to play well in several sports but also his longevity. “Sports were my way out of what were very trying circumstances growing up on the streets of downtown Vancouver,” says Pennington, who credits many mentors, One might say that when Gary Pennington slipped on a friends and his education for shaping the person he is today. pair of boxing gloves and climbed into the ring in a boxing Effortlessly, he seemed to excel in club in a rough and tumble area of Vancouver, British whatever sport he took up.

In the second grade he discovered he had some talent in the sport when he could effectively swing a bat and, more importantly, make contact with the ball. His penchant for playing baseball continued into high school and with winning results, as he was among the top hitters on his high school team. His prowess on the field caught the attention of major league scouts. While many seniors in high school are charting their next move, typically work or college, Pennington was considering turning pro, with offers from major league teams on the East Coast including the New York Yankees. After considering his options and talking to his basketball coach at the time, he decided to forgo entering the big leagues for university life and was admitted to the University of California at Berkeley on a baseball scholarship. Missing home and feeling out of his element, Pennington left the University of California to return to Canada. For a while he stayed up north, doing odd jobs and considering his next move. During this time he was in touch with Al

The teams at the time were full of excellent players, he recalls, and the education he received was top notch. “I treasure the days I was at SU, the many friends I made, the outstanding teachers and coaches and the education

I had,” he says. “As a former university dropout, it was amazing to me to be able to graduate cum laude my senior year.” Father William Logan was one of Pennington’s mentors at SU. The two played handball at the Washington Athletic Club. Pennington was an accomplished handball player but no match for Father Logan. “I was a young man in my early 20s, at the prime of my athletic prowess, yet I could never get the better of Father Logan, a much older man,” he says. “He was just too smart of a player.” Following graduation from SU, Pennington went on to earn a master’s in education degree. Midway through his studies, he went to spring training with the Tri-City Braves in California. A separated shoulder injury sidelined his chance to go pro in baseball. So he finished his degree and returned to Canada to teach at a junior high school. Later he would come back to the States to earn a doctorate at the University of Oregon. With degree in hand he again headed back to Canada, to begin a long career teaching at the University of British Columbia, where he taught education and the arts and is today associate professor emeritus.

Baseball was never far from his mind. After taking a 15-year break from actively playing, he reconnected with the game as a member of a senior league that was starting in Vancouver. He played for a couple years and had the opportunity to join an elite-level league in Australia when he was there to teach. He accepted and in Australia helped lead the country baseball league to the state championships. Now in his mid-70s, Pennington is still active in the game, playing in senior leagues in Canada, Australia and the U.S., and coaching and mentoring up

and coming players. Every fall he returns to Arizona to play in the Men’s Senior Baseball League (MSBL) World Series. When it comes to describing his never-ending passion for baseball, he quotes his childhood hero and Baseball Hall of Fame player Rogers Hornsby, “who once said, ‘People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.’” The time at SU left an indelible mark, says Pennington, who added that he felt welcomed from the first time he stepped on campus.

“I want to thank Seattle University for being such a big part of my formative years and giving me another chance to play sports and learn,” he says. “I think that much of what transpired there has given me the foundation to be a lifelong player and to live out the expression that, ‘We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.’”

Gary Pennington would like to reconnect with friends from his SU days. E-mail him at gazpen@gmail.com.

adhere to the requirements of the Washington State Liquor Control Board, the rum cakes cannot contain more than one percent of alcohol. Pat’s rum cake recipe harks back to a friend of her mother’s in Japan, although Pat has refined it over the years to make it her own. It’s rich, dense and buttery—not unlike a pound cake that has been laced with rum and topped with chopped pecans—a festive, wreath-shaped treat that’s a good fit for the Christmas holidays.

When not baking her rum cakes, Pat by day takes people’s finger prints, a business she started more than 20 years ago while also working at the Bellevue Police Department. This Jesuit-educated family continues to be influenced by Jesuit values, even when it comes to their tasty concoctions. There’s a community page on the company website that says, “Cake this good is worth sharing.”

Reviewed by Maura Beth Pagano, ’12 Especially sweet for the experienced hiker, Kevin Grange’s Beneath Blossom Rain is a treat for any adventurer. Grange allows his readers to come along as he and his brave companions take on a 24-day, 216-mile trek through the Himalayas and the fascinating country of Bhutan. This corner of the world, so full of myth and mystery, is brought brilliantly to life through Grange’s humorous and lively prose. Grange writes of his journey on the brutal trail known as the Snowman Trek. The storied trail, which traverses through 11 mountain passes, including seven that top out over 16,000 feet, is a considerable challenge for even the most robust outdoorsmen. Severe weather conditions, high elevations and limited access to medical treatment make the Snowman Trek one of the most difficult and dangerous trails in the world. As Grange tells of his unbelievable

expedition, one cannot sense even an ounce of fear in his words despite warnings of a grueling journey ahead. He writes, “Hiking along the trail, I had a wonderful sense of surrendering to adventure, of looking resolutely forward, of feeling ready for what may come.” Risks aside, the Snowman Trek offers hikers an up-close-and-personal experience with the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Warm and rich with culture, Grange’s accounts of his interactions with the Bhutanese people are the true gems of his book. The author explains to the reader that Bhutan is governed by a policy of “Gross National Happiness,” meaning the people of Bhutan are genuinely committed to promoting joy in themselves and others. Grange writes that Bhutan takes happiness so seriously, they have devoted an entire branch of their government to it. He writes, “The Center for Bhutan Studies

is like the Federal Reserve Bank of the U.S., only instead of prioritizing their country’s economic future, it studies the economy of bliss and makes every effort to ensure there is never a recession in Bhutan’s bank vault of joy.” Further illustrating his experience are several photographs throughout Blossom Rain. From a snapshot of grinning Bhutanese school boys to breathtaking images of clouds settling between soaring mountain peaks, these pictures provide even more insight into Grange’s unforgettable journey. Conquering the trek at age 33, Grange encountered more spellbinding adventure in those 24 days than most people will know in a lifetime. Not only does the author let readers catch a glimpse into his time on the toughest trek in the world, he inspires them to set out on their own fearless explorations.

Six years ago, Stephen Hueffed, ’88, ’95, and his family traded in city life for greener pastures—and a dairy farm in Pe Ell, Wash., in the southwest corner of the state.

The move marked more than a dramatic geographical shift. For Hueffed, it was an opportunity to start anew professionally. After years working in administrative roles for religious organizations and churches, he decided it was time to go into business for himself. While he found his work rewarding after the birth of their first child, Hueffed and his wife, Amy—a naturopathic physician in private practice at the time—decided to take stock of their lives. “You start to do a little soul searching,” he says. “Both of us looked at our hopes and dreams, considering that our lives were evolving.” They thought about what types of businesses would be both practical and profitable. In the end they went for one that was agricultural in nature, which led to their purchase of a historic 146acre farmstead. And a focus on cheese. “We settled on cheese,” Hueffed says. “The idea had taken root on our trips to the wine country in California.”
