To the Editor: Having read the recent issue of Reflections with pleasure and appreciation, I want to congratulate all involved for the excellent publication. I am sure that you are enhancing pride in their alma mater for all of the alumni. Several times, however, in reading publications from Siena a thought has crossed my mind. It pertains to the name of the chapel. We familiarly call it “Lumen” and I have no problem with that. Its actual name, on the other hand, is Lumen Ecclesiae Chapel, Latin for “Light of the Church Chapel.” One of the official titles of St. Dominic, founder of our Order, is “Light of the Church.” It was for him that the chapel was named and the mosaic flame in the front of the chapel was designed to carry that designation through. Although Latin titles are cumbersome and meaningless to many, I do think that the original name should be used in formal writing and that is the suggestion I would like to make. “Lumen Chapel” has a peculiarly secular connotation in my view, although in ordinary conversation I customarily use that name for convenience as so many do. This seems a good time to reclaim St. Dominic’s name for the chapel erected in memory of him. Nadine Foley, OP ‘45 Congregation Historian Adrian Dominican Sisters

President’s Message

Values are Certain Even in Uncertain Times ay you live in interesting times” is a Chinese saying, a curse actually, passed along to me without malice long before September 11th. A contemporary version might be, “May you live in uncertain times.” Uncertainty can characterize these days, if we let it and if we only hold a narrow, short-term view. We’re uncertain about the stock market and our 401Ks, but only because a strong run in the past few years erased the memories of risks always present in the market. We’re uncertain about traveling by air, but any review of transportation safety records will show we are at our greatest risk in our automobiles. We’re uncertain about opening our mail, but the statistical risks of contracting a biological disease are minuscule, compared with many other health risks ignored by many Americans (smoking, diet, alcohol and drug abuse to name a few). I do not minimize the impact the terrorists’ attack has had on the American psyche and our daily lives. However, it’s of greater comfort for me to realize and appreciate the certainties in my life and environment. I suspect you can and will identify with these perspectives.

Rick and Joan Artman

• This Thanksgiving held special meaning for Joan and me as our son, daughter and three grandchildren traveled 12 hours by car (see above) to share the blessings of family life and express gratitude for our fortunes of health, education and freedom. We hadn’t hugged our kids since before 9/11/01; the squeezes were long and tight. I’m certain our family values are strong and our love grows stronger daily. • The campus community comes together regularly in prayer and worship, at weekly mass and for group or private prayer vigils each Tuesday since September 11th. I believe the faith lives of our students, faculty and staff have grown. I’m certain God is present to help each of us deal with loss, suffering, and the anxieties that accompany a nation at war. • World events have brought new opportunities for classroom dialog, generated many papers and presentations about Islam and other religions, prompted debates about foreign policy and the justice of war, and made patriotism politically correct. I’m certain our students are more informed, our nation is stronger and our security fortified. I’m certain Siena Heights’ mission has more meaning today than when classes began in August. I’m certain our efforts in and outside the classroom make a difference. I’m certain our alumni stand with us. Perhaps you too feel more certain about family, faith and nation since you received your last copy of Reflections. Your continued moral and financial support for the University suggests you are more certain about the direction and future of Siena and we remain grateful for the many ways you contribute to the betterment of the University.

Richard B. Artman President

Siena Heights is...

One University, Three Colleges f you’ve bumped into the word “college” recently in connection with Siena Heights, take note: It’s not an error and not a throwback to pre-1998 nomenclature. It is a new administrative structure for Siena Heights University that went into effect several months ago. Like many other institutions, Siena Heights is now a single university made up of three distinct colleges. Unlike a lot of those other schools, Siena remains an integrated and interconnected whole. Here’s how the new structure works: • Undergraduate programs on the Adrian campus—those programs leading to associate and bachelor’s degrees—now fall under the jurisdiction of The College of Arts and Sciences, under the deanship of Sharon Weber, OP ‘69. Sister Sharon also continues as chief academic officer of the entire University. • Undergraduate programs offered at our degree completion centers and at other sites outside of Adrian are part of The College for Professional Studies, under the deanship of Deborah Carter. • Graduate programs, those in Adrian as well as at all other locations, fall under the jurisdiction of The Graduate College. Robert Gordon is dean of The Graduate College. A new permanent committee, The University Deans Council chaired by Sharon Weber, works to ensure integration, communication and coordination on issues affecting academic integrity and standards. After several decades of growth and change, the “small liberal arts college” structure no longer accommodated Siena’s operational needs as a complex multi-location institution, President Artman explained. “It was time to modify some structures to support future growth and to better serve our students,” he said.

Siena Heights on CNN? If you thought you saw Siena Heights and the Simpsons linked in a banner headline on CNN or Fox, but couldn’t quite believe it...believe it! The Simpsons, one of television’s most popular families from the hit show that bears their name, is the topic of a philosophy class this semester at Siena Heights. An announcement of the planned class late in the fall put Siena Heights in the news across the country and around the world. “Animated Philosophy and Religion” is a twocredit class team-taught by Kimberly Blessing, coordinator of the philosophy program, and Anthony Sciglitano of the religious studies faculty. The class features challenging readings and serious discussions of William Irwin’s “The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D’oh! Of Homer” and Mark Pinsky’s “The Gospel According to the Simpsons: The Spir-

itual Life of the Most Animated Family.” Prerequisites for the course included a working knowledge of philosophy and religion—and a sense of humor. The class is designed to show students that religious questions and philosophical issues are “a part of our lives and culture, even pop-

Port Huron Program he newest offering in Siena Heights University’s College for Professional Studies is a bachelor’s degree completion program in Port Huron at St.Clair County Community College (familiarly known as SC4). The SHU program at SC4 differs from other off-campus centers programs in several key ways. At SC4, Siena is offering the Bachelor of Applied Science degree to a cohort group of students who will progress through the program together, taking 10 classes, one at a time, in eight-week semesters. Siena does not maintain an office at SC4. In addition, classes in the SC4 program are offered in a new “blended online format.” Each class meets three times in a traditional classroom setting. All remaining coursework is done online using the eCollege web-based learning system. Plans are underway to start another cohort group at SC4 that could begin classes as early as fall 2002, depending on interest among new students. Anyone with questions about the program at SC4 can contact Steve Ott, who is serving as the program coordinator. He can be reached by voicemail on the Adrian campus (517-264-7195). ular culture,” said Blessing, who has been experimenting with the use of popular books in philosophy as a way to encourage students to think about and read more philosophy. She used Alain De Botton’s “The Consolations of Philosophy” in a one-credit course last semester on “Practical Wisdom.” “When the Simpsons book came along, I thought it would offer another opportunity to draw people into philosophy—and try to get students to take a second and third class, beyond the one philosophy class that is required at Siena Heights,” she said. After Associated Press picked up the story in December, Blessing and Sciglitano were overwhelmed with media attention. They were interviewed on national television (CNN), on National Public Radio, and by the BBC and an Australian news outlet. The story appeared in print across the country and on regional TV into January. Reporters are still calling. Stay tuned!

From the Heights

New Faces in Advancement

Enrollment Report: More Students! all semester saw enrollment rise in all branches of the University. The fall 2001 total University enrollment—full-time and part-time, graduate and undergraduate—was 2,024. The figure is 105 students higher than the fall 2000 enrollment of 1,919. In the College of Arts and Sciences (Adrian campus undergraduate), the incoming freshman class of 211 was the largest since 1988, and marked the first time in 13 years that Siena had back-to-back freshman classes of 200+ students. With an average ACT composite of 21 and a high school grade point average of 3.26, the freshman class is comparable in academic quality to last year’s freshmen. The full-time enrollment of 772 students is the second largest in Siena history, second only to 1988’s high of 815, and compares to 748 last year. Total undergraduate enrollment, including both full- and part-time students, reached 1,007 (up from 991 in fall 2000). In the College for Professional Studies (off-campus undergraduate), enrollment at all degreecompletion sites reached 677, while enrollment in the Theological Studies program with the Lansing Diocese reached 62, for a total of 739 (compared to 722 the previous fall).

Thomas G. Kavanagh, Jr. joined the Siena Heights community after Thanksgiving as vice president of advancement, directing the University’s efforts in fund raising, records and research, alumni relations and communications. Tom came to Siena from Hillsdale College where he was in charge of development, planned giving and donor relations for the sixstate southwest region. Previously, he was executive director of gift and estate planning at Hillsdale. Tom also is an attorney and former Catholic School teacher, athletic director and principal. A Michigan native, he is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, MA), with a master’s degree in education administration from University of Michigan and a law degree from Detroit College of Law. Krista Purvis Forys ‘98 is Siena’s new director of the annual fund, responsible for soliciting gift support from alumni and friends. As a communications student at Siena, she worked in the public relations office and as a phonathon assistant. Since graduating, she has worked at United Bank and Trust, American General Finance, and Pittsfield Charter Township.

In the Graduate College, full-time and part-time enrollment at all sites reached 278, an increase of 21 students over the previous year’s 259. Siena Heights now offers graduate programs in Adrian, Battle Creek, Benton Harbor and Metro Detroit and in a cohort program in Rochester. Graduate Study soon will be offered in Lansing, also.

Jere Righter ‘95, a theater major at Siena, joined the advancement staff in February as director of grants and foundations. Her previous experience includes assignments as director of development for the Croswell Opera House and Toledo’s Notre Dame Academy, and positions in corporate and retail sales.

Justice Urges Balance and Truth

New Faces at the Southfield Center

lice Robie Resnick ‘61, a Justice on the Ohio Supreme Court, was the featured speaker at this year’s fall academic convocation. In her address, titled “The Only Constant... Truth,” she reflected on the lessons learned during her years as a student at Siena Heights and in her career since then. She attributed her success, and the courage it took for her to go after her goals, to two things: faith in God and the confidence she gained at Siena. She also reminded students to seek balance in life. “You must equalize your life,” she said. “Work hard and have fun.”

Douglas Kiracofe began work this fall as director of Siena’s Metropolitan Detroit Program in Southfield. Doug is a graduate of Detroit College of Business with a master’s in marketing from Michigan State and a Ph.D. in business administration in process from Kennedy-Western University. He comes to the site director position with 11-plus years of experience teaching, advising and counseling students. Kathy Donnelly ‘89, an 11-year veteran at Siena Heights, was promoted to assistant director of the Metropolitan Detroit Program in Southfield, after Pat McDonald, OP ‘69 left that position to work fulltime for Siena’s Graduate College in Detroit.

he terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. shocked the Siena Heights community along with the entire nation. September 11 was a spectacular late-summer day in Adrian, but the mood was somber as students, faculty and staff gathered silently to watch non-stop news coverage on televisions in Sage Union and Ledwidge Hall. Moments of silent remembrance were observed at noon that day in Sage, Ledwidge and Benincasa Dining Hall, the first of many community gatherings in the days and weeks that followed. Throughout the semester, the campus community and the Adrian Dominican Sisters came together to pray, reflect, study and try to make sense of senseless events. To our knowledge, no Siena Heights alumni lost their lives on 9/11. For this we are grateful. Our hearts go out to those alumni, students, faculty and friends who grieve the loss of family members and others dear to them. On these pages of Reflections, we share the responses to the tragedy from many members of the SHU

t was the second day of New York fashion week. The city almost reverberated from all the shows and I was looking forward to seeing my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show that evening. I live 40 blocks north of the World Trade Center and had viewed it as the center point of my downtown skyscape.

while they were still under construction, We all memorized the numbers: how 50,000 would work there, how 50,000 would visit each day, and how the telephone cables were long enough to stretch around the world. Now I watched the titans which I had thought invincible crumble.

I watched tower one take a sucker punch from one plane and stood frozen in time as the next plane took a left hook into tower two. I stood in disbelief as the towers fell straight into the ground.

Smoke permeated the air, which had been crystal clear, and I knew this city that I call home was now a giant crematorium; a steady stream of ambulances and cars traveled north covered in ashes. In true capitalistic fashion, I ran to a cash machine in case I needed to leave the city; sirens echoed through my head as if they came from all directions...because they did.

emocracy is not easy. As we have just learned—through the most tragic of lessons—democracy is not something that can be taken for granted. With freedom comes responsibility. With education comes leadership. You are here to receive a liberal education, the only kind of education for free citizens living in a free society. As educated members of society, others are right to look to you for leadership and guidance. And we will. You’re at a fork in the road.

Through a conscious effort, you can decide how you will confront this new world.

I walked along streets crowded with blank faces, a sea of eyes that no longer wanted to see. In the confusion, an elderly woman fell in front of me and broke her arm; she was walking to the hospital to visit her husband and was hysterical in her pursuit. I tried to keep her calm as a policeman called an ambulance that would not be coming on this day; then two medical students stopped and helped her to the hospital. My living room became a crash pad for displaced friends, every sleeping bag in use for a week. For 17 days, I watched the smoke where the towers once stood and for 17 nights I closed my blinds to a downtown skyline brightly illuminated by strong searchlights. In an attempt to get some

n Sept. 29, the Red Cross flew me to New York City to assist in the disaster relief effort following the collapse of the Twin Towers. The nearly empty plane held mostly Red Cross people like myself. We were all quiet as we looked down on the Statue of Liberty. She looked so small. I could see the smoke rising behind her. My feelings mirrored what I thought she must be feeling: helplessness, defenselessness, the unfairness of it all. On the bus ride from LaGuardia Airport to Manhattan, we saw the Statue of Liberty again. Again we were quiet; again the smoke loomed behind her. But this time she looked tall, strong, invincible. My “function” -- mental health -- was, and still is, in short supply in the relief effort. We volunteers were placed in a variety of settings: at Service Centers to distribute muchneeded concrete assistance such as hotel vouchers and money for food, at Respite Centers to work along side those serving food and water to the workers on “the pile,” and at the Family Assistance Center, where those who actually lost loved ones are being seen away from the “controlled chaos” of some of the other operations.

I was part of an Outreach Team of mental health, nursing, and family service workers who “spread the word” about Red Cross. My team also opened up a small version of a Service Center, right inside the area called Ground Zero: about 16 square blocks surrounding the ruins of the towers. Much of my time was spent talking with people who had been displaced. Their homes, condominiums and apartments had shared the most amazing “back yard:” the World Trade Center. Imagine looking up each day from your window, and seeing two 110story buildings shining above you. Many people told me the WTC was “their friend,” one they had watched grow during the 70s and felt would always be there. They

couldn’t believe it was gone. The losses went far beyond landscape and architecture, of course. For many, their offices and livelihoods were lost in that terrible half-hour. I talked to people who lost friends (one man lost 50 friends) and coworkers and loved ones. All lost their sense of security. One woman told me, “I had no idea my life was just a bubble.” Gratia Karmes, a social worker with the Lenawee Community Mental Health Authority, spent two weeks volunteering in New York.

A homily delivered on 9/18 by Sharon Weber, OP ‘69, Dean of the College of Arts and Science

s I prayed today’s gospel (Matthew 5: 1-10), it seemed to me a litany for those who died in last week’s tragedy. I could picture our losses as a nation in the context of people of these virtues-blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are those who mourn, blessed are the meek, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, blessed are the merciful, blessed are the pure in heart, blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake. I was reminded again of the magnitude of the loss and of the magnitude of the questions with which we are left.

Then the gospel became a list of those of us gathered around this tragedy-those who mourn, those who hunger and thirst for justice, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, those responding in compassion and generosity, those of us seeking ways to respond, seeking answers, seeking understanding of how to apply to this situation words from our first reading (Romans 12: 9-21) that have never seemed so hard to understand: “Bless your persecutors, bless and do not curse them.” “Never repay injury with injury.” In confronting these questions, I remembered an event in which I participated in

Nicaragua. I was visiting our sisters there in the winter of 1988, a time when the U.S. was supporting the Contras, a group trying to overthrow the Sandanistas who then held power in the country. We went to a prayer vigil being held outside the U.S. embassy, witnessing to the desire of the people of Nicaragua that the U.S. stop its support of those trying to topple the government. I was very nervous. I was an American amid people who were protesting an American action. I would have understood had they expressed their anger at me. Instead, one person said to me, “We know that it is not

Campus Ministry Leads the Campus Community Siena’s Campus Ministry team had just published a full schedule of activities for September: Bible study and prayer services, community service and social justice activities, movie and pizza night, faith sharing lunches, “Late Night with Jesus,” Catholic studies, Sunday Mass, and more. Then came 9/11. Ironically, Campus Ministry had planned a minute of silence and prayer at noon that day to support International Day of Peace. Since then, the team has provided outreach and support in numerous ways throughout the semester. Each Tuesday afternoon since the attack has been specially designated for prayer and remembrance in Lumen Chapel. A special program on the one-month anniversary of the attack brought the community together for reflection and support. And, of course, all the activities already on the schedule have taken on new meaning and importance.

Everyone I spoke with had experienced abject terror. One example: When U.S. fighter jets were deployed to fight off further attacks on Manhattan, everyone on the ground—already blinded by smoke and ash, disoriented and terrified—assumed the planes were enemy bombers. The things I did, just talking with people, listening to them, really made a difference. I could see it happen. I saw people walk in beaten down and hopeless, and later leave our makeshift office with some bottled water, a teddy bear, a voucher for new clothing to replace what was ruined, and, if not a smile, an expression of purpose or hopefulness.

It amazes me that even in a situation of such staggering scope and horror, the basic skills of empathic listening work so well. It amazes me that the problem solving techniques we teach actually work when the problems are so overwhelming. It amazes me that people really do have such strength, so much to offer each other, such faith and generosity.

The things I did, just talking with people, listening to them, really made a difference.

the American people who do these things to us. It is the U.S. government.” At that moment, I was quite relieved. Today, as we all pray that our country makes the best response possible, I remember this conversation and ask myself, “How do we know that our response is made to the people who have done this thing to us?” As we speak of war, how do we relate our response to “just war” theory? Will we wage war with a just cause? Will it be formally declared by appropriate authority? Will it be conducted with a proper intention? Is it a last resort? Is there reasonable hope of success? Are the means proportionate to the ends? The answers to some of these questions jump off the page as positives. The complexities inherent in answering others of them call us to careful and prayerful consideration.

A Story: This happened on a crowded subway. I was always fearful on the subway, so, to relieve my own anxiety, I started conversations with whoever was near. (The myth of the cold, uncommunicative New Yorker is

We are all called to be peacemakers, but we will all have different ideas about how to make a real and lasting peace. May we all listen to one another with respect, remembering that in the Dominican context we search for truth in community. There are many perspectives that need to be addressed in all honesty as we strive to know how to respond. The response in Nicaragua that comforted me did not do so for long. It led to more questions; for when we speak of our government, do we not speak of a government of, for and by the people? Do I not have an obligation to at least let my representatives and president know about my concerns for a just response? As I grapple with my own responses to this tragedy and the gospel challenge to be a

just that, a myth.) But this time, the young woman beside me didn’t seem to want to talk, so I thought, “OK, you don’t have to get to know everyone in New York City; leave her alone.” And I did. We came to a stop. The doors opened and we could hear, over the noise of people entering and exiting, the sounds of “America the Beautiful” played on violin. The woman beside me started, a tiny flinch, but enough to make me ask, “Are you OK?” “I thought he was dead!” she said. “Every day, when I went through the courtyard of the World Trade Center, he would be there, this homeless guy, playing his violin. I thought he must have died in the collapse, but that was him! It was really him!” She cried, and I cried, and the people all around us cried, laughed and celebrated this tiny victory. One day, we were trooping into the Hot Zone, as it is also called, all of us wearing our gray and white Red Cross Vests, toting teddy bears, voucher forms, and bottled water. There must have been 70 of us in a long line. “Madeline goes to a disaster,” I called it. As we marched along, a woman going in the opposite direction grabbed my arm. “Look at yourselves,” she said. “Just stop and look! It’s a beautiful sight!” And she turned me around to look back at the whole group there in the bright sunshine, all grim determination mixed with gung-ho cheerfulness. On my right the smoking ruins tried to convince me that people are evil, the world is doomed, and there is no use trying. But I looked at the volunteers and I knew better.

peacemaker, I am grateful for the insight of our Dominican brother, Gregory Heille. He has helped me identify the enemy. He tells us that the real enemy is hatred. Today, we want to increase security so that terrorists will have a harder time existing among us. Let us, at the same time, keep a reflective eye on our own actions so that the enemy, hatred, does not insinuate itself into our motivations. We are all called to be peacemakers. Peacemaking is the work of the children of God—God who is love.

round Zero is about a million tons of rubble in the 16-acre quadrilateral between Liberty, Church, Vesey and West Streets. Signs call it, perhaps in defiance, a “construction site.” You can’t get closer to it than a few blocks, near enough to see about five or six waffled stories of debris and twisted girders, but not quite near enough to tell what 110 stories crumpled into a few really means. At about 10,000 tons removed a day, they hoped to get down to street level by New Years. It seemed impossible at Thanksgiving when I visited. New Yorkers know that the World Trade Center was really 117 stories, with seven of them under the ground, including its own mall, parking garages, and subway station. On the revised city subway map, the latter has been reduced, along with a few nearby stations, to an unexplained light gray, and it is where my cousin, John McCabe, was when the first plane hit.

introspective True Buddha Diamond Temple. Stands hawk flag pins, art photos of the Twin Towers, and “I Love NY More Than Ever” sweatshirts Tourists snap photos of the devastation, sometimes with their families posed in the foreground. Everywhere lurk odd reminders of how near September 11 really is. Posters welcoming you to the city highlight the WTC as a main attraction; the two L’s in the Downtown Alliance logo are still recognizably towers that simply aren’t there anymore. Although police and firemen are newly popular, a visitor may get a jolt from cars all over the place advertising the COP-SHOT program of rewards for capturing anyone who’s shot a policeman, complete with a dramatic bloodstain over the “SH.” With dismal irony, fire vehicles tell you to report a fire by calling “911.” Still, a crowd on the sidewalk will applaud strolling firemen like celebrities, and people buy FDNY T-shirts for their kids. More than 340 firefighters were killed that day, after all, more than in city history before that. It’s hard to imagine the nerve, or job, that rushes you into a building where, 80 stories above, jet fuel is burning at 2000 degrees, melting girders and incinerating bodies. I bought two FDNY shirts.

Tourists are drawn to Ground Zero, maybe to make sure it’s real, not a scene out of a disaster movie. To New Yorkers, it’s different. John’s sister won’t go there.

Around the perimeter of Ground Zero, life goes on. In fact, there’s a strange sense of one famous tourist attraction being replaced by another, sad one. Signs on stores and restaurants read, “We will rebuild. Support your local business.” Moran’s Restaurant is newly re-opened; its flyers—printed flyers dot windows everywhere—pay tribute to dead patrons. The Pussycat Lounge boasts that it’s back in business; so is the more

Having grown up in Brooklyn, I left the city a couple of years before the towers were built. Now almost every New Yorker, I’m told, knows someone of the thousands who

died. My own college, Fordham, lost 35 alumni, plus many more family members of alumni or faculty. John McCabe ran out to the street and saw the second plane hit; people on fire jumped out many floors above. When his stock firm reopened a couple of weeks later, he found out how many of the brokers he’d worked with for years had died. He doesn’t sleep well now. Tourists are drawn to Ground Zero, maybe to make sure it’s real, not a scene out of a disaster movie like “Godzilla” or “The Towering Inferno.” To New Yorkers, it’s different. John’s sister Mary won’t go there again. Reportedly New Yorkers have been drawn closer by the disaster, and there are some indications of that. Pedestrians seem friendly, intent on being cheerful in the face of misery. The Empire State Building sports red, white and blue lights; once again the proudest of skyscrapers, it’s reopened its observation deck. Fraunces Tavern, blocks from Ground Zero, one of the oldest city restaurants, where George Washington said goodbye to his officers, reminds patrons that in 1835, 20 square blocks of lower Manhattan burned down: “We will survive September 11, 2001.” Weeks ago, “construction” workers unearthed two beams fused together into a cross. It stands there, not showing up in the tourist shots. Too bad. Startled out of the darkness, it might remind a few of the small white cross in the Roman Colosseum, that ancient monument to circuses and martyrs. Before resurrection comes Calvary. Dan McVeigh visited the site of the World Trade Center at Thanksgiving.

Siena Heights University Students Reach Out Siena students responded to 9/11 in numerous ways. Here are just a few: • The women’s basketball team raised funds for relief efforts through a youth lock-in, while another group of students made and sold beaded American flag pins to raise money for the Red Cross.

• Student Senate and the International Student Organization hosted a panel discussion with faculty from SHU and Adrian College offering perspectives on the roots of anti-American terrorism.

• Other Siena students joined St. Joseph Academy students to write messages of support to the relief workers, which were tucked inside pairs of work gloves and sent to NY.

• The sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau sponsored a teddy bear and blanket drive, providing the goods to the American Red Cross for distribution to those in need.

• Siena Heights students and others working at Garfield’s Restaurant and Pub donated one day’s wages and tips to the New York Relief Fund.

Tim Husband (mathematics) received the 2001 Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics Distinguished Service Award this fall, in recognition of “a lifetime of dedicated service to the council and to the teachers and students we serve.” It is “a great honor to be recognized by an organization and people who have done so much for mathematics education,” Tim said. “Many of the outstanding mathematics reform educators are here in Michigan and our state is recognized as a leader in mathematics education nationally. It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience working with this extraordinary community of teachers.” Paul McMullan’s (art) ceramic work was featured last summer in “Emerging Talent IV” at the John Elder Gallery in New York City. He also was one of 50 Michigan artists chosen to participate in “Made in Michigan” at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts in Rochester. Paul served as a visiting artist at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit this past fall and was one of the featured presenters at October’s Michigan Mud 2001 ceramic conference in Grand Rapids. Nancy Schumann (English) was profiled this fall in The Chelsea Standard for her work as secretary of the Chelsea District Library Board. The article noted that Nancy’s interest in books extends beyond reading to writing and publishing: She wrote and published “Homesteading in the City,” a guide to urban living. She also has published short stories, poems and academic articles, and is at work on a novel. At Siena, she advises Spectra, the student newspaper, in addition to teaching journalism, literature, composition and creative writing.

Stella Cowan (business) is a new member of the full-time faculty in Southfield. She worked for 15 years in organization development and has 10 years teaching experience at Spring Arbor University, Baker College and Henry Ford Community College. She holds a master’s in education from Wayne State University and has completed coursework for a doctorate at Walden University. Magdalena Ezoe, OP ‘55 (music) received the Adrian Dominican Educational Leadership Award this fall from Barry University in Miami. Magdalena attended Barry as an undergraduate but completed her degree at Siena Heights. Sr. Ezoe received the award in Miami on Barry’s Education Day, a time when the Barry community reflects on personal responsibility for promoting the common good and recognizes individuals— such as Sister Magdalena—who have provided leadership in education. The award celebrates visionary leadership and comprehensive, continuing commitment to education. James Sam (social and behavioral science) is a new full-time faculty in Southfield. He holds master’s degrees in counseling, theology and social work, and a Ph.D. in human services. He has worked as a clinical therapist since 1984 and has taught part-time in Southfield since 1994. Cindy Beals (student activities) was honored this fall for her work mentoring students and new professionals and volunteering for the NationalAssociation of Campus Activities. She received the Janet Carl Smith Award, the highest honor given by the Illiana region of NACA.

Farewell to Peggy Myles After 10 years of service to Siena Heights, Dr. Peggy Treece Myles resigned this fall as Director of Graduate Professional Education Programs. Peggy played a major role in the development of the Graduate College and is significantly responsible for its expansion from two graduate programs in Adrian that enrolled 100 students in 1990, to today’s six master’s degree programs in four cities (Adrian, Detroit, Benton Harbor, and Battle Creek) enrolling almost 300 students. In 1994, Peggy received Siena’s Outstanding Teaching Award. In 1998, she was named Post-Secondary Counselor of the Year by the Michigan School Counseling Association. In 2000, she was named Professional Educator of the Year by the Lenawee County Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa. Bob Gordon, dean of the Graduate College, praised Peggy’s contributions to her students, the University and the local, state, and national education community. “Hundreds of Siena graduate students have expanded their professional competencies because of you. No one has given their time and talents as freely as you have,” Gordon said. “Thank you for everything you mean to Siena.”

If only it were that easy! Great teaching is magical in its impact, wondrous in its power; but it takes more than a magic wand. It takes dedication and hard work, commitment and creativity, an inquiring mind, and a caring heart. But the true wizardry is this: There is no great teacher without a learner. The magic of teaching manifests itself in the wonder and excitement of learning. In this issue of Reflections, we introduce some of the men and women who make magic by guiding and inspiring the students of Siena Heights University. Profiled here are those members of the current full-time faculty who have received the Sister Eileen K. Rice, OP Award for Outstanding Teaching (originally the Outstanding Teaching Award and renamed after Eileenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death). For a complete list of award winners, see page 16.

Left to right, top row: Mary Griffin, Frank Rotsaert, John Wittersheim, Mark Schersten, Chris Reising Middle Row: Sharon Weber, Susan Matych-Hager, Trudy McSorley, Saleem Peeradina, Dee Crane Bottom Row: Tim Husband, Lana Taylor, Anthony Scioly, Pat Schnapp, Mark DiPietro. Missing: Carl Kaster (on cover) and Bill Blackerby.

He works with students who may be struggling, helping them see that “with extra effort they can do the work. My greatest reward is grading a good set of final case studies or a good set of essay finals. That’s where you see just how far a student has progressed.”

Mary Griffin

Delinda “Dee” Crane

For Mary, part of the magic of teaching is being “an advocate for children and their families.” In that role, she works with children, with SHU students (both traditional and nontraditional age) with teaching professionals, social workers, psychologists, parents and principals.

(Teacher Education) Imagine doing one thing for 25 years and never wanting a change. “It may sound wacky, but those 25 years, I have never wished that I had done anything else,” Dee Crane says proudly. She aims to pass the same commitment on to her students. “Seeing students come into the teacher education program, then later supervising their student teaching and watching them put it all together with kids—it’s rewarding. You realize that in the time they’ve been here, they’ve become effective teachers and they’re going to go out and touch the lives of hundreds of children. I guess I like to believe that a little piece of me goes with them.” Dee started out as a first-grade teacher but decided she could be “more of an advocate for children” by shaping future teachers. She tries to inspire those future teachers “to be about the business of making magical moments—moments when everything comes together and everybody learns. There is an artistic component to teaching and when it’s done right, it’s really beautiful.”

Mark DiPietro ‘83 Bill Blackerby

(Management) Bill Blackerby started his career in the banking and auto industries, but now he can’t imagine himself outside academia. “When I was a graduate student I couldn’t decide between finance or management. Now, 25 years later, I still can’t decide so I teach both,” he says. In addition to coordinating the management program on the main campus, Bill has taught at most of Siena’s off-campus centers. He learned from his own college teachers that “you have to set high expectations.” Bill expects students to “bring something above and beyond” to their work if they want an A in his classes. But, he said, “students welcome the challenge.”

(Theatre/Speech Communication) Mark DiPietro spent eight years in Boston working as a professional actor before “coming home” to teach theatre and speech at Siena Heights. “Seeing students graduate and become successful members of society, following our mission,” is a great source of satisfaction, he says. “Siena’s always been a part of my life,” he adds. “I enjoy being here and working with students. I have high expectations but students know I am approachable. They can sense they are a welcomed, cherished part of my life.” And, he points out, “at any opening of a show or performance, I’ve never been disappointed in our students.” Mark’s job affords him a near perfect mix of work, family and acting and directing. He and his wife, Camila ‘87, have three young children, so Mark takes fewer outside acting roles these days in order to spend more time with the family.

(Education and Child Development) Mary Griffin has been teaching at Siena Heights for 27 years, but her near-contagious enthusiasm and passion for teaching rivals that of a newcomer. “I love it,” she says. “I just love it.”

“I have a wonderful job!” she says. “When I work with students, I try to strengthen their best side first. We’ll bring the other side along, and work on any weakness or deficiencies, but first you have to be comfortable with what you do well. We set students up to succeed.”

Tim Husband

(Mathematics) Although he remembers the days of slide rules, Tim Husband can’t imagine a math classroom without technology. A few years ago, Tim and his colleagues at Siena decided it was time to upgrade the teaching approach at Siena, “so, we started using graphing calculators in almost every course. This produces a more dynamic dimension to teaching mathematics. “We were way ahead and we still are” in technology use, he says. Now, computers and calculators are used in virtually every class. But technology has not replaced the importance of human interaction. “I get most excited when I see students working together, talking to each other,” Tim says. “Go in the math lab almost anytime now, even on Sunday evenings, and you’ll see groups of students helping each other, talking about mathematics, doing math. That’s really exciting. Once they start talking about the subject, you know they’re understanding it much better.”

Carl Kaster

(Biology) Teachers don’t always get their rewards in the classroom, says Carl Kaster. Sometimes the rewards come long after students have left school. “Those magic moments happen years later when you get a phone call and somebody says, ‘Thank you, I wouldn’t have made it through professional school or I

director. It doesn’t get any better than that!”

Sage Foundation Supports Artistic Excellence

Artwork by Jamie Good

A $100,000 gift from the Sage Foundation has established an “Artistic Excellence” fund for the visual and performing arts at Siena Heights. Art, music and theatre faculty can apply to the fund for support of creative projects designed to enhance their individual craft and artistry as well as their teaching. The program aims to support artistic activity that is imaginative and experimental, and goes beyond the traditional notion of faculty development. “This is an exciting concept,” said President Artman, “and can help arts faculty explore a new idea, practice a new technique, prepare a new composition, enhance a class, and grow as artists and teachers.” This campaign commitment from Melissa Sage Fadim and the Sage Foundation supports the academic programs component of The Campaign for Siena Heights University: Education With a Mission.

wouldn’t have gotten my Ph.D. if you hadn’t given me the right tools.’ And, I’ve had those calls.” As a youth, Carl planned to be a physician. By the time he was in high school, he had been at the bedside of three people who died, and worked as an externist with hospital patients. It wasn’t until he was a senior in college that he gave teaching a thought. “At the hospital, I noticed there was a lot of pain caused by physicians in the name of treatment or to diagnose. It bothered me,” he remembers. It was a medical school admissions dean who changed Carl’s career path. “We talked about my experiences and he said ‘you don’t want to be a doctor, you want to teach doctors.’”

Susan Matych-Hager

(Music) For Susan Matych-Hager, doing her job is like living a dream. “I think I would do this even if I wasn’t paid,” she says. “I wake up and say, ‘I am one of the really lucky people—I get to do what I love.’” And that love inspires her students. “The singers know whether you are excited about something. They’re looking for that excitement and want to be touched by it.” In music, Sue says, magic happens “when everything comes together and all of a sudden there’s this sound that’s greater than any one of us individually. It transcends us and that transcendence is magical.” Best of all is “when students accomplish some-

thing that they didn’t think they could do, or achieve something they’ve really strived for,” she says. “Those are special moments for me both as a musician and a teacher.”

Trudy McSorley

(Theater & Speech Communication) “Teaching is a performing art,” says Trudy McSorley, who directs Siena’s child drama program as well as teaches in the theatre department. “Once a teacher walks into a classroom with students, something is transferred. We process the work together.” For Trudy, teaching is a “collaboration of drama and teaching. That process is particularly exciting at Siena, because our students are able to take all of that experience—what we do in theater and in teacher education—and put the two together. We believe they will be profoundly different teachers,” because of Chris Reising, Art that experience.

Saleem Peeradina

(English) A class with Saleem Peeradina is about more than English and literature. It’s about exploring the world, the external as well as the internal world. Saleem uses his reading and writing assignments to expose students to different cultures and countries and controversial issues. By “turning minds upside down and inside out,” he challenges his students to examine prevailing conventional ideas. He also encourages students to travel and spend time outside the U.S. if possible. “How you define your boundaries affects what is available to you,” he says. “There’s nothing to stop you from thinking of the whole world as your neighborhood. “When I was 8 years old, I stood at the edge of the Arabian Sea and wondered, ‘What is beyond that horizon?’ I set a goal then. I took myself across the ocean, took myself around the world one and a half times. Teaching is modeling,” he adds, “so who I am, not only what I say and teach but also my history, my journey through life and books, all of that becomes a tool, an example.”

Christine Reising

(Art) “Who I am as an artist is part of how I teach,” says Chris Reising. “The kind of mark you make is different for each student. One of the things that’s particular to my teaching style is an experimental way of approaching art making.” “Art is all about magic,” she adds. “It’s a creative process and a vehicle by which change can happen.”

“Art is all about magic! It’s a creative process and a vehicle by which change can happen.”

During her years at Siena, Trudy has had the opportunity to teach many college students who started out in the child drama program. She also enjoys watching alumni she once taught now teaching their own classes. She is particularly proud of one former student who is also a colleague: Mark DiPietro. “It’s rewarding to have seen him grow into the kind of teacher he is, as well as an actor and

For nine years, Chris served as director of Klemm Gallery. She helped secure funds for gallery renovation and found support for multi-cultural diversity through visits by internationally known artists. “I’m really proud of that,” she says. Having given up the Gallery post four years ago, she now serves as coordinator of the art program. “I follow a long tradition of very honorable women and a man who have kept this program alive. I want to take this program forward.”

Br. Frank Rotsaert

(English) A teacher’s job is many things, says Brother Frank Rotsaert: being prepared, knowing the materials and your students, and most of all, letting go: “My job is to make them independent of me. If they have to come back to me all the time then I haven’t done a good job, because they’re not free, independent learners.”

15 you have your own points to make? Are you claiming your education?”

Mark Schersten

(Philosophy) For Mark Schersten, serving his sixth year as Humanities Division chair and deep into an assignment as co-chair of Siena’s North Central accreditation committee, teaching is the best part of his day. “Those 75 minutes in class are a wonderful break” from the administrative duties, he says. “They’re like little vacations.”

The Brothers of the Holy Cross helped shape the ideals Br. Frank holds up as a teacher: that knowledge is important, learning is important, students are important, and there are no shortcuts to learning. In addition, an essay by Audrey Rich has influenced his teaching a lot. In the essay, Rich Pat Schnapp, RSM, English discusses the difference between claiming and simply receiv- Mark loves it when alumni “remember someing an education. Rich encourages students thing we did on a particular day,” and he’s to go beyond just receiving an education, just as pleased when a current student suddenly beams with understanding, “when you and to challenge themselves. get somebody to see something.” “I assign that essay and I refer to it throughout the year,” Frank says. “I say, you Mark aspired to be a scientist until a college didn’t do your homework; this paper barely philosophy class made him rethink his career scratches the surface; what do you think plans.

“Magic is when you see in someone’s eyes that she or he has picked up a bit of the spark, when you can see students begin to respond with some of the same enthusiasm.”

Supporting Teaching and Learning:

Teaching with Technology Empowering faculty to teach more effectively with technology is one goal of a collaborative program between Siena Heights University and Adrian College. The SALT Program (Support for Advancement of Learning and Teaching) is funded by a three-year $257,000 grant from the Teagle Foundation. The grant aims to help faculty become more comfortable and skilled with technology-assisted instruction, to enhance teaching and learning through appropriate use of technology; and to share resources at AC and SHU. Peter Erdman of Siena’s Computer and Information Sciences faculty is directing the project. Advancing technology has been a priority at both Siena and Adrian for a decade, but use of technology has been sporadic among faculty at both schools. Instead of simply adding more technology-assisted instruction to more courses, the Teagle program encourages “careful selection of appropriate technological methodology and a thorough analysis of its effectiveness” in meeting the goals of each course, according to the grant application. Also, instead of relying on outside consultants or technology experts, the program aims to build on the strengths of current faculty. Core faculty on both campuses will become “technology consultants in residence,” providing one-to-one mentoring for colleagues looking for technology advice and support.

almost old-fashioned lecturer, helped Mark develop “a real good rooting in philosophy.” The other was “an incredible guy” still teaching in his 80s. Both were role models for Mark, who says the real magic of teaching is that it energizes the teacher: “I go in, I teach a class and I always get a really great feeling.”

Pat Schnapp, RSM

(English) Passion. Sister Pat Schnapp says that’s the best thing she takes into the classroom: “I confess to having a little ham in me. And I’m aware from my own experience as a student that it’s very, very helpful when the teacher conveys his or her passion” for the subject, “so I sometimes get a little zany, a little wild and theatrical.” Sharing that passion is one of her goals. Magic is “when you see in someone’s eyes that she or he has picked up a bit of the spark, when you can see students begin to respond with some of the same enthusiasm.” Helping students develop a love for literature is one of the rewards of teaching for Pat. Many students take English because it’s required; they start with an attitude of “well, I have to do this. But as they become engaged with literature in a new way,” she says, “some of that indifference goes away.” And when students ask her to recommend a good book, “Those are wonderful moments.”

Supporting Teaching and Learning:

Expanding Science Research Opportunities Siena Heights University is expanding learning opportunities for science students thanks to a four-year $100,000 grant from the McGregor Fund supporting the new Science Scholars Program. The goal of the program is to engage students in one-to-one mentoring relationships with faculty to conduct independent, original research. Chemistry and biology majors already are required to complete a senior project. For these projects, senior students and their faculty mentors conduct months of sample collection, lab experiments and field research followed by data analyses. The new Science Scholars Program will intensify the research experience and sharpen the quality of research projects. The program, designed by Siena faculty, will engage science majors during their freshman year and mentor them through four years, culminating with research projects that extend through the junior and senior years. “We are excited to be working more with students on in-depth research projects,” Carl Kaster, biology professor and coordinator of the Science Scholars Program, said. “We look forward to working with freshmen while also including juniors and seniors in the new program.”

Sharon Weber, OP ‘69

The satisfactions of teaching are considerable, he says. “It’s rewarding to watch students go through the process of discovery and understanding. There’s nothing more thrilling than when a student finally gets it. You see the perplexed looks, then one day you see the lights go on. It’s priceless.”

Sharon started out teaching elementary school. “I used to say it was a miracle when first-graders learned to read—that they could put sounds together and make words. There are similar moments in the life of a college student: when you go from doing assignments to really learning, from answering the teacher’s questions to asking your own.”

(Chemistry) Tony Scioly intended to work as a chemist in business until he became a teaching assistant in graduate school. “The first time I taught a course, it was like nothing I had ever experienced,” he recalls. “I enjoyed it a lot and I was able to establish rapport with the students. It occurred to me maybe this was something I should think about.”

Small classes and Siena’s overall size make it a special place to be a teacher and a student, Tony adds. He sees many students arrive as unsure freshmen; but by the time they graduate, they are confident and ready to land a job or enter graduate school. “I’m amazed” by our alumni,” he says. “They have great jobs, Ph.D.s—it’s rewarding to see.”

Lana Taylor

(Mathematics) Magic in the classroom? Sure, Lana Taylor says, thanks to graphing calculators, which have “changed the way we teach math.” The graphing calculator “enables students to visualize things that we couldn’t do before,” she says. “It allows them access to real-life problems with complicated numbers instead of the nice little integers” in traditional math books. “This ability to visualize what is happening through a graph and then make connections to the symbolic is magic.”

(Chemistry) Alumna Sharon Weber came back to Siena to teach chemistry. Now, as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, she teaches only occasionally. She misses it sometimes, especially the laboratories. “Chemistry labs are an important part of what I liked about teaching—it gave us a chance to really watch students explore and experiment.”

Professor Emerita Miriam Michael Stimson, OP ‘36 was one of Sharon’s mentors at Siena Heights. “I tell the students that if they listen carefully, the chairs in the lecture hall could answer their chemistry questions because Miriam was that good as a teacher and those chairs heard it all.”

John Wittersheim

(Art) John Wittersheim planned to follow others in his family and work at Ford Motor Co.; but when that didn’t pan out, he was ready to go in a different direction. That’s just one of the examples he uses in his teaching. The moral of the story: Prepare for the unexpected. John earned his MFA at Cranbrook. He worked at Ford until he discovered he was allergic to the materials of his job. So he came to Siena and was hired by Sr. Jeannine Klemm, “the matriarch of Studio Angelico.”

“It’s exciting to watch students come into class and find out that they can do it.”

There’s magic in empowering students, Lana says. “It’s exciting to watch Lana Taylor, Mathematics students, especially non-traditional students, come into class and find out that they can do it,” she says. “Over the years, I’ve seen lots of people come back to school in order to get a decent job, many of them single mothers or women with low incomes. They start out the class with no confidence. Their whole demeanor changes when they find out they can actually learn this stuff, and can do just as well as the young people coming out of high school.”

In his teaching, John tries “to encourage students to move in directions that are gratifying to them.” He lets students decide which way they’re going, and says, “I’m going to guide you and help you go down that path. If ultimately you decide ‘I should’ve gone the other way,’ that’s your decision.” We all make choices, he says. “All I can do is help students based on the decisions I’ve made and try to guide them through the process themselves.”

Giving Thanks

to Siena Heights University 2000-01

to all alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends who

supported the mission and values of Siena Heights University with a financial contribution between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001

Supporting Education in a Changed World Education With a Mission No doubt you’re familiar with that catch phrase.

Douglas Kapnick Chair, Board of Trustees

Siena Heights uses “Education With a Mission” in its admissions publications as well as its fundraising materials. In fact, so central is that notion to Siena’s identity that the University has incorporated the phrase into the title of the current $12.5 million fund raising program: The Campaign for Siena Heights University, Education With a Mission.

But Education with a Mission is more than a slogan; it’s what Siena Heights lives and breathes every day, in Adrian and across the state at a growing number of off-campus programs. And in the aftermath of this fall’s tragic events, education with a mission has never been more important. In the post-9/11 world, what could be more critical than providing a teaching and learning environment that respects the dignity of all? What more vital enterprise is there than assisting students and citizens to become more competent, purposeful and ethical? What cause is any more significant than empowering the Adrian Dominican heritage and Catholic values that make Siena Heights a place that embraces diversity and welcomes persons of all faiths? On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire Siena Heights community, I extend my thanks to all the alumni, parents, students, friends, neighbors, businesses and organizations who contributed to Education with a Mission during the past fiscal year. Your gifts make our mission possible. I offer a special note of gratitude to those of you who have chosen to support the University not only through the Annual Fund, but also with an additional commitment to The Campaign for Siena Heights University. Your investment in Siena’s future will pay off many times in the lives of our graduates. Sincerely,

Campaign Update Education With a Mission Last spring, Siena Heights unveiled a $12.5 million campaign to strengthen the University by supporting students, achieving academic distinction and ensuring a vibrant learning environment. At the kick-off in May, campaign commitments stood at $6.6 million; early in the New Year, the total surpassed $9 million. The campaign runs through December 2003. The Campaign for Siena Heights University offers everyone the opportunity to shape the future of Siena Heights—at a time when mission-driven education is more important than ever. Through the campaign, alumni and friends can: • Encourage the development of future teachers, physicians, researchers and mathematicians by contributing to the renovation of our math, science and computing facilities. • Promote awareness of ethical issues facing today’s citizens by helping to endow the new ethics lecture series. • Support physical fitness and a balanced lifestyle by investing in the expansion of the Fieldhouse to include a modern fitness center.

Those are just a few elements in this exciting campaign. The chart below lists the major priorities— and progress—of the campaign. For information about specific projects

and giving opportunities, contact the Siena Heights advancement office at (517) 264-7140 or (800) 693-0506.

Fall Sports Cross Country

The 2001 men’s team finished No. 1 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. The Saints were ranked fifth in the NAIA in late November. Matt Miller was the team’s most consistent front-runner; Ryan Bills ran very well as the No. 2 man. Matt and Ryan, the team captains, led the Saints to victory at the WHAC Championship. Five SHU runners placed in the top 10. Having won seven of 10 conference championships, the Saints are the most successful cross country team in the history of the WHAC. This year’s young but talented women’s team was led by the freshman duo of Jenn Pann and Anne Venier. The Lady Saints finished third in the WHAC Championship behind Spring Arbor and Aquinas.

defensive statistical category. In the individual categories, they have the league’s top two scorers (Dawn O’Neil of Eaton Rapids and Emily Skeels of Adrian) and top-rated goalkeeper (Kara McKeon of Adrian). The team gave up only five goals all year and scored a total of 82. Both totals are unofficially good enough to make the all-time NAIA lists. The team had 15 shutouts this season. The Lady Saints ended up co-champions for this season. The team lost its conference tournament when it was defeated 2-1 by Aquinas.

Volleyball

A talented group of women came into play this year. The Saints have the talent to beat some of the best teams in the region, as the Saints knocked off Madonna University, the reigning WHAC champion. Seniors Melissa Radoy of Adrian and Amy Smith of Marlette led the team with their hitting prowess while Amanda Gildea of Vicksburg was one of the Saints’ best defensive specialists.

Basketball

Golf

Coach Al Sandifer’s young team has a lot of future potential. Four of the top five players were freshmen; senior Steve Knierim, the team’s No. 1 golfer, tied the school record early in the year for the lowest round of nine holes.

Soccer

The men’s soccer team finished second in the WHAC for the fourth consecutive year. This year’s senior class boasts the second best fouryear record in school history. Coach Aldo Zid’s team finished the regular season with a 14-4 (6-1 in the WHAC) record. Leading the team was the senior trio of Steve Mazimpaka of Dowagiac, Andy Power of Plymouth, and Sam Skeels of Adrian. Steve controlled the defensive side of the ball; playing from the sweeper (center defense) position, he is third on the team in scoring. Andy, the heart and soul of the mid-field, scored 12 goals and added 10 assists. Sam, who owns every offensive record at Siena Heights, scored the 100th goal of his career this fall, remaining one of the biggest scoring threats in the country. He is unofficially third on the nation’s point list, and sixth all-time in goals. The team lost in WHAC semi-finals to Madonna. The women’s team had a record-breaking season in almost every way. They hold the school’s best record at 17-2. The Saints led the WHAC in every offensive and

Exciting victories just before Christmas sent the Saints home for the holidays smiling.

Men’s Basketball:

The men defeated University of Michigan-Dearborn 110-91 at Siena Heights, giving them a winning record of 11-2 going into conference play in the new year. A highlight of the early season was the Saints 95-92 victory over Urbana (Ohio) in the title game of the Can Am Classic in Windsor, Ontario; the win was No. 400 for head coach Fred Smith, now in his 17th season at Siena Heights. In February, the Saints picked up victories over rivals Tri-State (88-75), Madonna (99-74) and Indiana Tech (93-78). A 103-98 win over Cornerstone on Jan. 26 gave Siena (now 20-4, 7-1 WHAC) the chance to defend its WHAC title. WHAC Tournament was Feb. 20-25. The NAIA tournament is March 6-13.

Women’s basketball:

The women, playing in West Palm Beach, FL in the first round of the Palm Beach Atlantic University Cruizin’ Classic, upset the NAIA No. 1-ranked team in Division II, defeating Shawnee State (Ohio) 85-72 just before the holidays. The win put the Saints at 311 to start the new year. The Saints have been out-rebounding their opponents by just over five rebounds per game. WHAC tournament was scheduled for February 21-26.

Dan Malley ‘85

Cleveland’s Candy Man Enjoys Sweet Success The first half of this article is excerpted by permission from the August 2001 issue of Manufacturing Confectioner, The Business Magazine of the Global Sweet Goods Industry.

“I absolutely love my job!” Dan Malley says. And why not? He produces a quality product, enjoys meeting new challenges and works with “great people.” Dan is vice president of sales and marketing at Malley’s Chocolates in Cleveland, OH, with 12 stores in the Cleveland area.

late bar with the Indian image; it was a huge success.” Malley’s also sold more than a million Albert Belle Chocolate Bars, named for the Cleveland Indian player. Beyond sales ideas, Dan is always looking for improved production efficiency. “We have built some machines that friends in the business marvel about in terms of

Malley’s Chocolates has been around since Dan’s grandfather started the business in 1935. Dan has been in the business fulltime since 1985, but he began working at Malley’s long before that. “My folks brought me along to work as far back as I can remember. I remember bagging Easter grass for 2 cents a bag.” Much later, he moved onto “the bottom rung of the ladder” as kitchen janitor/new cook. He progressed to become head over the cooks, general manager of plant operations, and eventually vice president of sales and marketing, also overseeing production. Dan relishes the challenges of the industry. “We need to be different, stay one step ahead.” Malley’s product line changes with consumer demand, but some traditions stand: “Presently our most popular product is our Nutmallow-my grandfather’s special recipe of marshmallow and English walnuts covered with milk or dark chocolate.” Malley’s products are marketed through their own catalogs, fund raising and corporate campaigns. “We also do direct mailings to our house list of customers,” Dan adds. The company does not buy namescatalogs are only mailed to people who have requested information. “We try to have fun with our product and to move merchandise by connecting to local interests,” Dan says. “Several years ago, we teamed up with the Cleveland Indians baseball team and made a choco-

A little more than a year ago, Dan and his wife, Melissa, established The Malley Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of abused and neglected children. Through the Foundation, Dan, Melissa and a host of donors and volunteers are providing friendship, support and opportunity for 36 children under the age of 12. The kids, residents in a Children’s Aid Society facility, were removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect. “Every child there comes from a bad situation,” Dan said recently. “My wife and I just decided we wanted these kids to share some of the things we enjoyed growing up.” So now, once a month, Dan and Melissa “take these kids out and treat them like we were raised.

construction cost and running efficiency,” he says. “We have built chocolate bar machines, nonpareil machines. We also have a candy packing line that I believe is one of the best in the market.” With growing competition from discount stores like WalMart, “specialty chocolate shops must keep getting the message out that cheaper is not always better,” Dan says. “Malley’s makes a quality product where we never cut corners on raw materials to save a few pennies. We want people to be very proud to serve Malley’s chocolates in their homes or to present them as gifts.” Still, Dan is constantly looking for new ideas, because in this business, “you are only as good as your last holiday.”

Assisting Kids is Sweeter Still

Dan Malley has done well in the chocolate business, but he’s found his sweetest success as an advocate for kids.

Other Foundation-sponsored activities include buying baseball mitts and new school shoes for each child, providing tutoring and piano lessons, even paying tuition for one child to attend Catholic school. And if a child moves into a foster home, “we stay in touch.” “We can’t change the world,” Dan admits, “but we can show these kids that they can count on someone.” And maybe someday, he adds, they’ll lend a helping hand to another child.” Dan and Melissa—who have two children of their own, Maggie (2) and Max (9 months)—were thrilled when the Malley Foundation was one of 10 area organizations selected for recognition in a National Football League program honoring grassroots community improvement efforts. But, Dan is quick to add, it’s not the recognition that matters. It’s helping children who deserve more than life provided before the Malley Foundation came along.

Caryl Widdowson ‘69 Handling the wild ones in Gray, Maine This article originally appeared in Portland (Maine) Press Herald. It is excerpted here by permission.

The sick baby raccoon had been chased by some children and was hiding when it was found, shivering and dehydrated, by an animal-control officer who brought it to the Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick. From there, the raccoon made its way to the home of Caryl Widdowson, a wildlife rehabilitator. For the past month, Widdowson has nursed the animal back to health at her home in Gray, Maine. Widdowson is one of the nearly 100 “rehabbers” throughout the state who are licensed to care for wild animals. Their intervention could have prevented an incident in Old Orchard Beach in late June, when a Massachusetts man accidentally exposed a rabid baby raccoon to hundreds of people. Rehabilitators say the case shows how well-intentioned, untrained people like Don Belmore, who brought the raccoon to the campground, can put themselves and others at risk when caring for wildlife. Dozens of people who came into contact with Belmore’s raccoon are now receiving a series of preventative shots. The raccoon was euthanized in order to test the brain for rabies. “People shouldn’t bring hurt wildlife home,” Widdowson said. “They should get it to a rehabber.” Rehabilitators like Widdowson work a middle ground between game wardens and people like Belmore. Henry Hilton,

a staff wildlife biologist with the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, says only a game warden, veterinarian or rehabilitator can decide the best course of action for a sick, injured or abandoned animal. “Officially, we say if it’s wildlife, leave it alone. Wildlife lives a life very different from ours. It doesn’t have a protected life, and there’s a lot of mortality,” he said. Sometimes people will see a bird, shivering, vomiting or recovering from a dog or cat attack. It could be carrying a disease or parasite, or it could become aggressive. If a bird can’t move its wings, has droopy wings, bleeds or is shivering, it may be watched to see if its parents will tend to it. “If it’s healthy, it will get along fine,” Hilton said. If a baby animal’s mother has died, a rehabilitator can often help by bringing it to a point where it can survive on its own in the wild. “That’s a good example of when to call a rehabilitator. Let them go to the spot and take care of it,” Hilton said. It’s illegal to rehabilitate wildlife without a license, but sometimes people do. People could accidentally harm an animal by feeding it the wrong type of food. They also might expose the animal to too much human contact, making reintroduction into

the wild impossible. Instead of helping wildlife on their own, people should call the state police or a game warden or the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and ask for a rehabilitator. Widdowson is in the process of reintroducing two raccoons back into the wild, and trying to treat the sick 9-week-old raccoon. She is also caring for a bat brought to her with a joint problem; gray and red squirrels whose mothers disappeared or died; and a skunk. That’s in addition to her pet rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs and dogs. Widdowson keeps her raccoons in modified rabbit hutches in her back yard. The sick baby raccoon eats every two hours, but the healthy raccoons are on their own most of the day. They return to the hutches to eat or to play with a corn-cob toy nailed to a tree, but will eventually stop coming back. The baby raccoon still needs care. Its gums are white instead of pink, and it is smaller and weaker than its brother. Widdowson is administering a course of antibiotics, and is confident the raccoon will respond. Still, during the 12 years she has held a state license, she has seen many animals that didn’t make it. A recent disappointment for her was a turtle that swallowed a fishing hook. The fisherman yanked the hook out of the turtle, and someone brought the turtle to the veterinarian who asked Widdowson if she thought she could help. “It was too far gone,” she said. “ But sometimes you think they won’t make it, (and) with the proper care they surprise you.”

Eric Parker ‘92 All the world’s a stage to an aspiring actor

In the 10 years since Eric Parker earned his theatre degree from SHU, he’s been across the country and around the world pursuing his career as an actor. From California’s American Academy of Dramatic Arts to regional theatres in Michigan, Maryland and Florida, to the European tour of “HAIR,” to the CBS TV studios of “Guiding Light,” Eric has put his acting and singing talents on stage for increasingly enthusiastic audiences. In his biggest break to date, he appears in Chicago this winter playing the lead role of Che in the Drury Lane Oak Brook Theatre production of “Evita,” the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical about the life of Eva Peron. His performance in the same role at the Barn Theatre in Augusta, MI, earned rave reviews in 2000. Although based in New York, Eric performs wherever opportunity takes him. He has been a regular at the Barn Theatre for the past decade. And he is a periodic guest star at Adrian’s Croswell Opera House, where he has been featured as Eddie in “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?,” George Bailey in “A Wonderful Life,” and Jesus in “Jesus Christ Superstar,” among many shows. A native of Adrian and son of Bob and Audrey Parker (retired SHU registrar and faculty respectively), Eric moves easily from musical comedy and drama, to opera, to straight drama. Reflections caught up with Eric recently: REF: How has 9/11 affected the theatre world? EP: All my close NY friends have checked in safe and sound but everyone seems to know someone who’s missing. With the tourist traffic sharply down, things don’t look good for the NY entertainment business. I believe musical theatre in New York is turning over a new leaf, with the Disney cartoon influence and the revivals. Producers are betting on old warhorses like “42nd Street” and “Music Man” over more challenging fare, and I think 9/11 has hastened the shift. I guess I can’t blame them. When they’re carting away rubble just down the street, who wants to pay $100 to sit and be depressed for three hours? Grosses improved during the holiday season, but like everything else, the business in New York will never be the same. REF: Are there dream parts you’d like to play? EP: I’d like to play Judas in “Jesus Christ Superstar” for a change and do Claude in “HAIR” once more before I get too old. I always wanted

I played Cornelius in “Hello, Dolly!” back at Adrian High School and always wanted to do that one again. As for straight stuff, I’ve always wanted to play Hamlet. Of course, I’d have to win the lottery and put the darn thing on myself. And give away tickets. I can’t imagine anyone actually paying to spend four hours in utter agony. REF: How did Siena Heights prepare you for this career path? EP: I can gush about the faculty; they were all so different. Doug Miller taught me the importance of craft: that it isn’t just reading lines or slapping together some wood or speaking clearly that makes a production complete. Trudy McSorley instilled in me a basic love of the craft without that, there’s no reason to produce a script. Bob Hawley brought a warning about how difficult a career in theater could be, and in a way, that lesson might have been the best one of all. I know I never gave any of them the thanks they deserve, but their balance provided the department of my era a complete Siena experience. And with Mark DiPietro, I understand it’s even richer. I’m jealous! I’m also really pleased to see the improvements to PAC.

The Reviews:

“Eric Parker...(is) the key reason for the success of ‘Evita.’ Parker fills the role of Che, roughly based on legendary revolutionary Che Guevara. On stage almost the entire time, Parker shows off his incredible talents and vast range. His singing performance is unparalleled.” Battle Creek Enquirer, July 2000 “’Jesus Christ Superstar’ is headlined in spectacular fashion by Equity actors Eric Parker as Jesus and Scott Hopkins as Judas… Parker balances perfectly Jesus’ humanity and divinity and is mesmerizing to watch.” The Adrian Telegram, May 9, 2000
