Master Hosts Inn, Wilkes-Barre, i Ms. Young held the close at­ tention of her audience with a vivid presentation of the cur­ rent status of the human agen­ da. Her charge is that people who enjoy the benefits of a so­ phisticated society have a re­ sponsibility for the present state of a world in which life has be­ come so perishable. The prac­ tice of reacting to crisis docs not solve the problems of the human race. Societies with the capability of effecting change must focus on global rather than national concerns since, whatever affects the people of one nation, affects the people [n all nations—“Vibrations are Universal.” Ms. Young dccribes the “life­ boat philosophy" of the affluent nations of the world. Site said: '.'If we continue to consume, life support resources in our present manner when bil.iion people are already existing ,Bt starvation level, what will be the impact of the projected tpopulation by the year 2000? A '.growing number of repressed, deprived, underfed people will rink the boat in their struggle for survival. Mankind will per­ ish from lite planet Earth. Man­ kind has the capability to achieve a balance between popu­ lation growth and the resources) essential to the maintenance of) productive human life.” The speaker concluded her remarks with a quote from W.

During the spring I term the coffee hour was very pop' ulai* with the students who found that it not only gave them a chance I to meet their instructors socially, | but that the coffee (or tea if you prefer) and cakes gave them a lift in the afternoon.

SPONSORING COFFEE HOUR THURS. i Irene Janoski 1 A J v ■r Another important Coffee Hour is being planned by the Wilkes Women’s Group, to be held Tues­ day, November 15, in the cafeteria. The one held last Thursday, Nov­ ember 3, had a moderate turnout of students; a majority of those that did appear at this social gathwere the college athletes. These boys frankly admitted their love for a good cup (or cups) of coffee as well as their friendly chats with members of the faculty and their wives. A lack of Freshman students was attributed to the mid-semester exams. Since exams are over (for a while), the W. W. G. is expecting a large attendance, of students old and new. Mrs. Edward Williams, former instructress, stated that all the faculty wives are anxious to meet the students. Last year, the Coffee Hours were held only on Thursdays of every other week. This year, for the students’ convenience, these social functions will be held every other week on rotated days of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs­ day. The Coffee Hour was first start­ led at the suggestion of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Partridge who thought it would be an excellent idea to get students and faculty acquainted on an informal basis. Dr. Eugene Farley wisely suggested that the Wilkes Women’s Group, when it was organized, should undertake the Coffee Hour as its first project. Mrs. Alfred Bastress is general Chairman on the committee which includes the following members: Mrs. John •Chwalek, Mrs. Arthur Kruger, Mrs. John Riley, Mrs. Ed­ ward Heltzel, Mrs. James Laggan, Mrs. Edward Manley, Mrs. Donald Kersteen and Mrs. John Cooney. Hostesses for Tuesday’s social hour will be Mrs. Welton G. Far. rar, Mrs. Charles Henderson, Mrs. John Hall, Miss Lorna Holbrook, and Miss Mildred Hull. These women appointed to pour the coffee are: Mrs. Eugene Farley, Mrs. Ed­ ward Williams and Miss Catherine Bone.

V he said, “Lil the baskSbribe scandal broke last February.” Among the evils the Wilkes ath­ letic director attributed to pro­ fessionalism were double stand­ ards in college admissions— “one standard for athletes and another for students” — the encourage­ ment of cheating, and practices leading to the disintegration of players’ personalities. “Profession­ alism has led to the recruitment of I boys who cannot possibly profit1 from a college education,” he slat­ ted. Ralston, who also serves as foot­ ball and basketball coach at Wil­ kes, poked holes in the argument that winning athletic teams bring glorious prestige and gifts to col­ leges and universities that' have them. “Among the great univer­ sities, Harvard, Yale and Chicago have perhaps the largest endow­ ments and the most enviable re­ putations. Are their football teams among the top 10?” he asked. “As for good small colleges," he continued, “did you ever hear of William, Bowdoin, and Amherst having winning teams?” Quoting figures to show that 1 even big football schools lose money annually on their athletic programs, Ralston dismissed the argument winning teams are a con­ siderable source of income. “In 1949,” he said, “the University of Pennsylvania realized $432,000 on football, $11,000 on basketball— , and wound up the fiscal year with a loss of $44,000.” Ralston then turned to sugges­ tions for restoring amateur ath­ letics to “their rightful place in . the American educational scheme."

Roberts, In accepting the gift on behalf of the college, Dean Williams observed: “It Is very gratifying for an institution such as Wilkes, which regards itself a community college, to learn in so pleasant a way as this that important community groups are solidly behind It." The local club has long assisted worthy area students through its loan fund, a project sparked by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. During the last several years it has lent money interest-free to at least 10 young women attending educational Institutions, keeping the names of its debtors strictly confidential. Under Miss Wiegand's leadership, the club's education committee succeeded this year in developing the Wilkes scholarship fund along with the loan fund, from which deserving students may continue to borrow. The club is hopeful of making similar scholarship awards to Wilkes wo­ men In the future. j I �■ ft I ft. I i B 1, —53^ rI 1o I I lOj I J ' n' /J. Mrs. Eugene S.

Will you be one of the far-seeing citizens who make this possible? The orchestra can exist for the widest benefit of Wyoming Valley, only if the support of its Family Membership is as broad and generous as possible. The Wyoming Valley Symphony is entering its third season with Ferdinand Liva as conductor and personnel of local professional musicians and student performers. WILL YOU CONTINUE YOUR SUPPORT? There will be three concerts this year, as usual, provid­ ing a variety of music for different tastes, including a Pop Concert at the end of the season. WILL YOU BE A NEW SUBSCRIBER? If you have already indicated your interest, keep this brochure for information about the concerts. Stressing family participation in good music, each ticket admits two adults and one child. The benefit to the community is two-fold —the exper­ ience for talented young people of playing with a live orchestra, and the now recognized fact that a civic or­ chestra is not only a cultural asset but a requirement in the field of future industrial interest in any community.

The plan is already in operation. The fund, which now has a capi­ tal of almost 50 dollars, is designed to aid girls on the campus who find themselves in minor financial cri­ ses. The money can be obtained immediately, and may be repaid to the fund at the convenience of the student with absolutely no interest charge. The loan, which will be negotiated through Mrs. Doane’s office, may be obtained from Mrs. Doane, Miss Jesse, or Miss Clark and will be handled with the strictest confi­ dence. Money for the plan was raised through contributions of the Wilkes Faculty Women’s Club to meet what they thought was a real need on the campus. Eventually, this group hopes to increase the capital of the fund. �V ? jVv h lc e s Faculty i I Women To Meet! ■ Coffee Hour ofpiat^c\^t:'S ?heSrnny]IisC'a,'k’amenlebrof lhe ni.i Ee 1T1U!:IC departments. ,A soring hour will follow at the' ™d Mrs. Eugene| 1?1\ - -aouth River street.

LITTLE STUDIES ■rre contacted * When a prominent resident of WHkes-Bari a friend and associate in ‘the automobile busin dncss about a new cur, he was puzzled when he got what pr. iractically was a brushoff. Competition in the car business being what. it is these days, customers are given the red carpet treatment it by dealers and members of the sales force. But such was not it the case. witfi the prospect in this jnstiinee. The prospect liked the car and needed one and isaid so unmistakably. In fact, he actually sold himself, for• h he recelved no encouragement whatever from the. denier ___ ivf who finally broke down and agreed to let the motorb 1st have a car at a later date. "But do you think my enr will last'.’" Hie prospect pleaded. "It has gone 70,0(10 miles." Thn dealer assured him on this point and the num and his wife drove away but not without misgivings. On Saturday night, the mystery was solved and the reason for tile stalling became clear at the testimonial dinner friends of Eugene 1‘nrley gave for the president of Wllhrs College on the occasion of his •’■"dll anniversary nt the In Im of the institution, l or Dr, I nrley was the cusloincr and .Joseph Lester of Kingston wn* the reluctant dealer.

In order to "stiffen up" requirements in the Department of Romance Languages, it was proposed that all grades of A, B, and C be re­ served exclusively for those students repeating a course more than once. It was also recommended that courses in Greek, Esperanto, and Balanese be added to the curriculum. Recommenda­ tions approved except for Greek which was considered to be too reactionary for a liberal arts college. 5. All advanced courses in English, physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry be taught by practice teachers in order to upgrade the quality of collegiate instruction. Professor Hammer argued that since it is the superior students who gravitate to teaching they are well qualified to handle advanced level teaching.

Prof. Richards: It is irrational to regard mathematics as a science because only a negligible fraction of a negligible fraction is non-denumerably infinite. hence, the generalized continuum is a consequence of the hypo­ thesis of the scientific domain and does not belong to mathematics. Therefore, I should like to point° out that the rocoim.iendation of the Curriculum Committee having to do with the elimination of science stud ---ts from the science courses, does not apply to the Itathematics department. rres.

FARLEY Mrs. Farley's Death Saddens Community In the three decades that she was' a resident of Greater Wilkes-Barre, j Mrs. Eleanor Coates Farley, wife of Dr.’ Eugene Shedden Farley, president of Wilkes College, not only shared in his interests as an educator and civic leader, but carved a-career of her own as a musician and good neighbor. Wilkes-Barre was charmed by her graciousness and artistry ' from the onset. As modest as she was talented and dedicated, she labored largely be­ hind the scenes, lending a helping hand where possible to launch the local edu­ cational experiment. Students at the College made her acquaintance early when she served as piano accompanist on their programs. Later, the general. public made her acquaintance through her guest ap­ pearances with the Wilkes-Barre Phil­ harmonic, through her support of the Wilkes-Barre Community Concert As­ sociation and through her activities as president of Wyoming Valley Woman’s Club. While Wilkes was struggling for a. place in the community, Mrs. Farley played a leading role, although the spotlight was naturally on her husband and his associates. As the official hos­ tess, she had a multitude of duties, in the discharge of which she acquitted herself with no little distinction. In ad­ dition to the formal functions, the door of her home was always open to visitors who were charmed by her manner. It was no secret Dr. Farley leaned on her heavily during the formative years of the College and increasingly I with the passage of time and mounting responsibilities. She fitted into the I popular concept of what the wife and helpmate of head of such an institution should be. Her cultural contribution was, by no means, limited to music. A poet, she had a number of published works to her credit. Her writings, to a large extent, were circulated privately. She was also a painter. A native of Pitman, New Jersey, Mrs. Farley called Swarthmore and the Philadelphia area home in the early years of her marriage, while her hus­ band was a student and teacher at Germantown Academy and the Univer­ sity of Pennsylvania. For seven years before coming here, she resided in Northern New Jersey where Dr. Farley was director of research for the Newark schools. Thus, she had been closely linked with education for more than four decades, explaining her youthful outlook and cultural activities. �KI 1 Wilkes College Faculty Women To Entertain On Saturday X V°X ®ES& mot at the home of the club will be held Saturday, Octoberlseph Kanner, with Mrs. Bronisjle*. ---irs..tdwara }',a—■ t11' (president, Mrs. Stanley Holden,9. at 1 p. m„ at the Wilkes Com- Keslas serving as co-chairman.!C>iester Co-son ar.a .-rs. a:="_r, iyear^An^n^m^ts^'w^re^co^m-lin^^onT^o^^new Welton Farrar.

CAPIN As the Third President of WILKES COLLEGE ACT 1/0 ♦ I �. unity amidst diversit �•i • • I HLY arnids' THE INAUGURATION OF ROBERT S. CAPIN AS THIRD PRESIDENT OF WILKES COLLEGE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1976 WILKES COLLEGE GYMNASIUM, WILKES-BARRE, PA. �WILKES COLLEGE The inauguration this afternoon of Robert S. Capin as the third president of Wilkes College establishes reason to reflect upon the founding of the institution some 43 years ago. Wilkes College came into being in 1933 when Bucknell University, in re­ sponse to a request of community leaders, established its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. Three years later, Dr. Eugene S. Farley was named director of the Junior College and became the major influence in guiding the almost miraculous growth of an educational institution from a few buildings in 1936 to its present size. Slightly more than a decade after he took over the reins of Bucknell Uni­ versity Junior College, Dr. Farley moved into a new role as the first president of Wilkes College after the Junior College became an independent institution on June 26,1947. As a four-year, coeducational institution, the college has grown steadily and selectively as an institution of higher learning, recognized for its quality educa­ tion and excellence far beyond the boundaries of influence envisioned by its founders. Slightly more than 9,000 alumni represent the College in the 50 states and many foreign countries. Dr. Farley stepped down as president in 1970 and began a two-year term as chancellor. Stepping into the presidency was Dr. Francis J. Michelini, who moved up from the post of dean of academic affairs. Dr. Michelini served for five years, guiding the institution through the construction of the S7-mdlion Stark Learning Center and leading the institution back to normalcy after the 1J72 Agnes Flood caused some $14-million damage to the campus. Years have passed since Bucknell gave control of the-J^ior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. Me ' nsjbi|jty came a years demonstrate the wisdom ot their deci.i , . , tbat Dressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united tn the! ta th t at the Intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous v , creative mind is free ..... .......,cl,uesimth a d.-um Wilt < eget been guided hy the thai^rttfwtun^ in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only gn itvisl n but warm understanding of peoples In its small circle, Wilkes College brings together students of many fa tl backgrounds and countries. Il encourages them to maintain their com. u m-tr. and their loyalties. It provides them with the opportunity to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the college program, the fa< ult> recog­ nizes that academic training will be of poitam e unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill. ' Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Constant effort has been made to create a growing endowment to keep pace with the expansion of the campus. This is the background of Wilkes College on this day as a warm welcome is extended to Robert S. Capin as its third president.

Although the color is normally black, several institutions have autl < r zed doctoral gowns in their school colors. In the United State-- the hood is the most distinctive feature of academic attire. Used originally as a cowl, as a shoulder cape, and as a container in which to collect alms, it is now worn at the back, suspended near the shoulders. The length of the hood and the width of its velvet border indicate the level of the degree held. The bachelors wear a hood which is three feet long, with a twoinch velvet border. The hood for the master's degree is three and one-half feet long, w ith a three-inch border. The doctor's hood is four feet long and the bor­ der is five inches wide. The inner lining of the hood is in the official color or colors of the institution conferring the degree, while the color of the border indicates the field of learning in which the degree was earned. It may be noted that military uniforms and religious habits are appropriate apparel at academic convocations. �ARD°F COLORS INDICATING FIELDS OF learning AGRICULTURE ARTS, LETTERS, HUMANITIES •• ........... b'tb COMMERCE, ACCOUNTANCY, BUSINESS DENTISTRY .................................................. ....... ...

The name given to theproject by a group of early arrivals to the campus cleanup effort was the result of a public plea by Dr. Michelim for volunteers to assist in removing the sears left by the flood.

The library, perhaps the hardest hit, had over $500,000 in book losses. Many of the books were irreplace­ able, along with some of the records that represented many years of work by individuals in research. Stark Hall, the college science center, was also hard hit, with close {to $2,000,000 in spare electronic parts and other equipment lost.

And then in a few hours we were inundated with flood waters and left with inches of mud and material damage that had to be seen to be believed. But in the midst of this devastation neighbor helped neighbor and Civil Defense maintained order and provided leadership in the midst of muck, mud and devastation. In the midst of crisis we were united. Now that we are slowly recovering may we maintain and enlarge this unity. May we unite to restore the beauty of our Valley while we strive to rebuild our homes and our industries. If we possess the vision, the will and the desire, we can, in cooperation with our neighbors, our state and our federal governments, restore the best of the past. And while so doing we can create a more beautiful and wholesome environment. This is a dream but America was built by dreamers who were also doers and our Valley was being rebuilt by men and women of vision who also were doers. Can we not work to sustain this dream? There are many agencies at work to provide the instruments for new growth. Let us work with them to build a new and better economy and a more beautiful community. It can be done if we envision it and possess the will to do it. °ne in basement of the hfa.•aper and mud n irary. picturesque Commons now resembi �Bi ■■■•■ f' ■« Mud instead of freshly vacuumed carpets greeted workers at the ca j '.jug current sm=< level of the Eugene S. ■i4" .__vcnient jrley Library. �'Wilkes Faculty Woi Plan Coffee Saturdi Wilkes Faculty Women will;new officers . open their season of activities chairmen will be with a coffee Saturday at 10 a.m. plans for the y< in the lounge of Wilkes Col------J TIn - charg ----cussed. lege’s Center for the Performing are the officers Arts. | ulty ’Women a All Wilkes women who are ! executive com members of the teaching faculty i James_ Rodechkc or faculty wives are invited to of serving ' j arran come as' guests.

Now that it is all over, many of the people who were involved in the inauguration of Dr. Francis Michelini can breathe sighs of relief, and know that we all wish to express our deep appreciation for a job well done. Although we could never hope to include all those who deserve an expression of thanks, surely among those who deserve out appreciation are: — John Chwalek, the coordinator of the entire affair — Micki Stella and the host of secretaries on campus who helped so well — Dr. Charlotte Lord, whose programs were all delightful — the members of the overall inauguration committee, who eventually numbered nearly 30, and who planned since July for the awesome event — The co-chairmen, Thomas Kiley and Ralph Rozelle — the Honorable William Scranton who delivered a fine main address — the delegates and guests — Drew Gubanich and Aldo Farneti who supervised the student participation and rate A's for the efficiency displayed — all the other students including Bill Kaye, the Lettermen and Letterwomen Clubs, Circle K, Theta Delta Tho, the international students who performed, the class presidents, members of SG and I DC, all those who helped with displays of every sort, the ushers, parking attendants, hosts and hostesses, and so many more ... — Dean Jane Lampe who planned the beautiful receptions — Bill Denion and the cafeteria staff — Charles Abate, Nelson Carle and the entire maintenance crew — Bill Gasbarro, Raymond Nutaitis, Richard Chapline and the music department And also — Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the Board members, the faculty (some of whom served as "Ambassadors of Good Will"), Mrs. John Chwalek, the faculty wives, the public relations staff, and especially, — Dr. Michelini and his family — who are the sort of people who make us want to do so well!

Much has happened since our last issue and the pandemic continues to create uncertainty. Above all else, we hope that you and your families are remaining healthy and safe. On the following pages, you will see that Wilkes has slowly and safely reintroduced some normalcy to our campus. I was honored to be formally installed as Wilkes president on Oct. 1. An inauguration ceremony is much less about any one individual and much more about celebrating the greater Wilkes community. It is setting a vision for the future and reinforcing our commitment to those we ultimately serve—our students. It was a moment of pride for our University and a humbling one for me personally. Thank you to all who shared in this event and sent well wishes. We also held our first in-person Homecoming Weekend since 2019. Everyone on campus worked tirelessly to host safe, outdoor experiences. The photos on the following pages show that the weather was certainly in our favor. After a year in which many events were canceled or held online, we have an incredible lecture series this year. In April, Wilkes will welcome presidential historian and author Jon Meacham as part of the 40th anniversary of the Max Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities. Two days later, Wilkes hosts the one and only Margaret Atwood. The author of more than 50 novels, including The Handmaid’s Tale, will speak as part of the spring President Greg Cant Allan Hamilton Dickson Writers Series. Learn more at wilkes.edu/lectureseries. Finally, we want to thank you for your patience as you awaited the next issue of Wilkes magazine. For nearly two years, university personnel have been united in our mission to create a safe environment, focusing on the most pressing priorities. Though the pandemic continues to remind us of the importance of those we hold dear, it is lovely to resume many of our typical activities. It also gave us an opportunity to reflect. The format and frequency of Wilkes magazine will likely change moving forward. But our commitment to you, our valued alumni and friends, has never been stronger. Thank you for all the ways you supported us during these challenging times. Your kind and generous spirit continues to transform the lives of our students. We are forever grateful. And we are Forever Colonel.

Wilkes is the only university in northeastern Pennsylvania and one of just eight in the state to offer the serviceleadership program to students. The Bonner Leaders Program at Wilkes was made possible by alumnus and attorney William Bush ’68, who has served on the board of the Bonner Foundation since its inception. A longtime advocate for students who are the first in their families to attend college, Bush helped connect the Bonner Foundation to the University. 2 “It is a program that perfectly aligns with the Wilkes commitment to hands-on learning, individualized attention and community engagement.” –G � reg Cant, Wilkes University President Bonner leaders, from left (seated): Alexis Nardone, Rockaway, N.J.; Ava Musloski, Avoca, Pa.; Ada Soriano, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Amelia “Mia” O’Connor, Brooklyn, N.Y. Back row: Marytere Quintana-Avila, Scranton, Pa.; Emily Blaine, Shavertown, Pa.; Brenda Arias, Hanover Township, Pa.; Bhavika “Nikki” Dawar, Sparta, N.J. “Mr. Bush’s encouragement, support and guidance were instrumental in our decision to move forward with the Bonner Leaders Program,” said University President Greg Cant. “It is a program that perfectly aligns with the Wilkes commitment to hands-on learning, individualized attention and community engagement.” The Bonner Leaders Program is a progressive four-year experience that blends direct service in the community with enrichment and training activities designed to promote leadership, self-awareness, professionalism and public service. The four-year program culminates in a senior capstone project where students conceive, build and lead their own service project and inspire campus participation. Students are compensated through work-study funding, providing financial support for their education. Bonner Leaders is a national, service-based initiative from the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation. Founded in 1990, the Bonner Leaders Program has grown to a multifaceted civic engagement and leadership program hosted by a network of more than 70 colleges and universities. In Pennsylvania, Wilkes joins schools like Widener University and Ursinus College to offer the program to incoming students. �on campus David Ward Named Senior Vice President and Provost David M. Ward was selected as the new senior vice president and provost of Wilkes University, beginning his new position in June 2021. In this role, Ward serves as the chief academic officer of Wilkes, leading the University’s scholarship, programs and initiatives, and working with the deans and faculty of its six academic schools and colleges. Ward was selected for the position following a national search. Ward comes to Wilkes from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke where he served as provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs from 2017 through 2020, leading an academic unit that included 36 undergraduate and 17 graduate programs serving a total 7,698 students. During this time, the university experienced significant enrollment growth and created a shared vision around new program development and retention. “With six months under my belt, I am more excited than when I first accepted the job,” said Ward. “Everyone in the Wilkes community has made me feel welcome and perhaps more importantly, has shared their ideas and energy for moving the University forward. I see a very bright future for Wilkes University and am thrilled and honored to be a part of it.” Ward received his doctorate and master’s degree in public administration from the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from Colgate University.

Ned Fetcher, coordinator of the Institute for Environmental Science and Sustainability at Wilkes, is a co-principal investigator on a research team that will study the effect of a changing climate on tussock cottongrass, dwarf birch and tealeaf willow, all plants found in tundra ecosystems in Alaska. The grant funds research titled “Collaborative Research: Plant phenology, local adaptation, and growing season length in the changing Arctic tundra.” Fetcher, whose share of the three-year grant is $456,716, will conduct research with co-principal investigators Jianwu ( Jim) Tang and Gaius R. Shaver of the international, world-renowned Ecosystem Center of the Marine Biology Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., and principal investigator Michael Moody of the University of Texas at El Paso. Wilkes undergraduates will participate in the project as field assistants, spending up to 10 weeks during the summer at the Toolik Lake Field Station, 170 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The team’s research focuses on plant phenology (the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena), one of the traits most affected by climate change. In the Arctic, plant phenology can alter how ecosystems function at multiple levels. Previous research by Fetcher and associates identified a significant difference in growing season length between northern and southern populations of tussock cottongrass. This finding suggests that the phenology of this species is under genetic constraint (unable to adapt). “Changes in day length are responsible for many phenological events in the temperate zone. This research will help us to understand how phenology is controlled in a region where day length is 24 hours,” said Fetcher. A Wilkes research team in the Arctic in 2016. WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 AUTHOR COLUM MCCANN HIGHLIGHTS INAUGURAL LITFEST WRITERS FESTIVAL 4 National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann (Let the Great World Spin) was the featured speaker for the inaugural LitFest literary festival, a celebration of writers and writing that was held on campus from June 20-24. LitFest was sponsored by the Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing and was part of the program’s first in-person residency in two years. Held on the Fenner Quadrangle, McCann spoke to the creative writing students, read from his work and was joined by National Public Radio book critic Maureen Corrigan and memoirist Beverly Donofrio (Riding in Cars With Boys). The evening concluded with book signings by the featured authors and also the authors from the creative writing program. Wilkes offers a nationally recognized and widely reputed graduate creative writing program where students and faculty find the writing support, community and market opportunities to become lifelong, productive, professional writers in all fields. The program boasts an impressive list of faculty, advisors and friends.

The program will reduce the cost of education while recruiting highly skilled pharmacists to work at Geisinger, one of the largest healthcare systems in northeast and central Pennsylvania. The Geisinger Pharmacy Scholars Program provides qualified students with a guaranteed job offer within the Geisinger system upon graduating from Wilkes University’s Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. Geisinger also provides a $20,000 loan as students enter their fi fth year of the six-year program. Geisinger will forgive the loan for scholars who remain employed by Geisinger for two years immediately following graduation or the end of a post-graduate residency. In addition, scholars benefit from a Geisinger pharmacist mentor, as well as a Wilkes advisor, to help them navigate their studies in addition to their fi rst year of employment. “We are so pleased to partner with Geisinger on this unique program that continues to advance Wilkes pharmacists,” said Scott Stolte, dean of the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. “Wilkes University boasts job placement rates that ensure our students achieve both economic and professional success. The value of retaining the talents of our graduates through the Geisinger Pharmacy Scholars Program cannot be overstated, particularly in the midst of a global health crisis.” “More than 25 percent of the more than 400 pharmacists employed within Geisinger are graduates of the Wilkes Nesbitt School of Pharmacy,” said Michael Evans, RPh, chief pharmacy officer at Geisinger. “This is a natural partnership that will help aspiring pharmacists achieve their career goals and also help Geisinger recruit and retain much-needed pharmacists within our communities.” High school seniors admitted into the Wilkes pre-pharmacy guaranteed seat program with a minimum grade point average of 3.5 (or rank in the 90th percentile or higher) are qualified to apply. Students must be willing to be employed anywhere in the Geisinger system with locations throughout northeast and central Pennsylvania.

In the community, Acosta serves as the executive chair of the Wilkes-Barre branch of the NAACP and vice chair of Wilkes-Barre Chamber Diversity Council. When asked why having a multicultural event in Wilkes-Barre is important to her, Acosta said, “Instead of focusing on what divides us, let’s celebrate what we have in common. Taste each others’ food, listen to music and enjoy our cultural richness. Wilkes-Barre is endorsing these types of events and we need to celebrate our cultures.” �on campus $1 Million Gift Creates Scholarships Opportunities for Native American Students Native American students wishing to study at Wilkes now have access to more scholarship opportunities, thanks to a $1 million gift from Irene Tomalis Stone, class of 1957. The newly-established Louise Federovich Tomalis and William C. Tomalis Endowed Scholarship is available for undergraduate Native American students who may not be able to attend Wilkes without additional financial support. African American students can also benefit from the scholarship, named in memory of Stone’s parents, Louise and William. “My parents were first-born Americans who worked very hard all their lives to be sure I had access to a good education,” said Stone. “They always encouraged me and were thrilled when I was given a scholarship to Wilkes—the first such award in my family's history. This new gift honors their memory by providing opportunities to students that my parents were not able to access in their youth. I hope that many young people with financial need will take advantage of this scholarship to turn their lives around for themselves, their families and for many generations to come." Four Native or African American students are expected to benefit from scholarship dollars exceeding $10,000 each year. With successful academic progress, they will receive the scholarship during each year of their studies. “The Tomalis Scholarship, inspired by the vision of Irene Stone, is a historic opportunity for Wilkes University. Irene and I have shared dozens of wonderful conversations over many years about changing the potential life path for Native American students combined with promoting Wilkes University as a beacon of opportunity which has led us to this newest endowment,” said Margaret Steele, chief development officer. Endowed scholarships offer donors the opportunity to combine their personal values and experiences with deserving students.

Below are the highlights from the fall lectures and details about the spring lectures. Nobel Prize winner in Physics William Phillips held an interactive lecture titled, “Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe” on Oct. 21, as part of the Catherine H. Bone Lecture in Chemistry. An audience of over 300 fi lled room 101 in Stark Learning Center and watched in awe as Phillips used liquid nitrogen to demonstrate how the measurement of time is changed by cooling atoms to extreme low temperatures. Phillips also visited the Third Avenue Elementary School in Kingston, Pa., where he delighted more than 80 kindergarteners from the Wyoming Valley West School District. On Thursday, Oct. 22, Terry Jones, founder of Travelocity and founding chairman of kayak.com, discussed how organizations can embrace innovation as part of the Allan P. Kirby Lecture in Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. The nearly 400 attendees, both online and in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center, heard about the need for business to continually innovate. Jones provided leaders with simple but powerful ideas they can use to create more innovative organizations. Presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham will deliver the Wilkes University Max Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities, “Hope Through History,” on Sunday, April 24. Meacham won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 2009 for American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, and his No. 1 New York Times bestseller, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, was hailed as “masterful and intimate” by Fortune magazine. His other national bestsellers include Franklin and Winston and American Gospel.

Renewed for a fi fth season on Hulu, the critically acclaimed adaptation of her 1985 novel has earned 54 Emmy nominations and 15 awards. The dystopian work’s follow-up novel, The Testaments, sold out its initial half-million copy run, requiring two additional printings in just over a week and breaking fi rst-day sales records for Penguin Random House titles that year. 9 �UNWAVERING The pandemic may have changed the plan for Wilkes University’s seventh president. But it didn’t change the promise. WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 By Gabrielle D’Amico ’04, MFA ’17 10 �WITH OVER 30 YEARS IN HIGHER EDUCATION, GREG CANT LEARNED THAT THE COLLEGE SELECTION PROCESS IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL ONE. Cant is pictured with his parents upon earning his PhD from the University of Western Australia. Cant’s father, Alan, passed away in 1999. “His optimism, adventurous spirit, steadfast faith, enduring compassion and love of life shapes me to this day.” After working a variety of jobs that ranged from being assistant manager of a hardware store to working in road construction to being a chauffeur, Cant earned his high school diploma and, later, his bachelor’s degree from the University of Western Australia. But it was his experience as a graduate student in a 12-month intensive master’s program at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, that changed the trajectory of his career. “To that point, I never worked so hard in all my life. There were 30 people in my cohort. Just an amazing group of individuals. We started together and we graduated together,” he recalls. “I realized during that time that working in higher education isn’t just a job. It’s a life. It was a world that I could see myself in. And I wanted to be part of it.” So perhaps it’s not surprising that the one-time high school dropout soon found his calling in higher education. After a national search, Cant was named Wilkes University’s seventh president on Dec. 12, 2019. The announcement was held in a packed Sordoni Art Gallery amongst the images of Pete Souza, White House photographer during the presidencies of Barack Obama and Ronald Regan. “It was just a stunning day. There could have been a light coming down from the heavens. Everything was perfect. We had this plan about slowly getting to know the institution while I concluded my time at Montclair.” He thinks and smiles wryly. “Well. You know what they say about making plans.” “I realized during that time that working in higher education isn’t just a job. It’s a life. It was a world that I could see myself in. And I wanted to be part of it.” WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 He knows that students thrive in a variety of campus environments: large, small, urban or rural. After all, he has worked in a variety of institutions including three research-intensive universities, a regional state university and a private liberal arts college. But as a student, Cant struggled as a result of his environment. “I recognize that not all students can thrive in a large institution. Turns out, I was one of them,” he admits. A native of Australia, Cant went from primary schools so small that he shared classrooms with his sisters, Robyn and Merilyn, even though they were a year or two behind him. A tiny school in Perth had just four classes and about 100 total students. A dramatic shift occurred when Cant transitioned to Balcatta Senior High School which, at the time, was western Australia’s second-largest high school boasting over 1,400 students. It was partially the size of that institution, along with admitted immaturity and gusto, that led to a surprising decision: at 16-years old, Cant dropped out of high school. “I was chatting with Mum about this just a few days ago and she reminded me that what I actually said was, ‘education is a waste of time and I’m never going to do it again.’ Famous last words,” he says with a chuckle. Cant’s parents were educators so he remains impressed at their supportive reaction to his decision. But it was during his brief hiatus from education where he rediscovered his love for it. 11 �WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 CRISIS RESPONSE AND RECOVERY 12 Cant is quick to note that Wilkes has faced great moments of challenge throughout its history. Whether it was the collapse of the anthracite coal industry or the devastation of the 1972 Hurricane Agnes Flood, Wilkes has endured even during the most difficult of circumstances. In early 2020, the pandemic was spreading across the globe. By March, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ordered that all colleges and universities stop in-person instruction. Classes were quickly transitioned to remote modalities as most faculty and staff began working from home. “The priorities shifted almost overnight. Everything I assumed I would do in my fi rst weeks at Wilkes changed in the blink of the eye. The safety of our campus community is always paramount, but the pandemic created much more urgency for us all.” Cant remained in close contact with Paul S. Adams, interim president at the time, as he concluded the academic year at Montclair. On May 26, 2020, he arrived to a nearly empty campus and was immediately faced with what was arguably the biggest decision of his career. “Under normal circumstances, the priority of any new president is to get to know the campus and embark on long-term strategic planning,” Cant reflects. “From the moment I stepped on campus, and long before that, we were determining if we could safely reopen and if we could realistically remain open.” Cant called together the COVID-19 Task Force, comprised of faculty, administrators and colleagues, to tackle that very question. Once again, the size of the University played a critical role. “Unlike large universities who struggled to open, we found a way to do so safely while managing our 2,500 undergraduate students. We felt that if we could test, contact trace and isolate infected members of our campus community quickly, we could offer a version of the face-toface experience that is true to our history and carries forward our educational promise.” And it did. During a time when many colleges and universities taught exclusively online, Wilkes offered a residential experience that blended various learning formats. Select staff members were trained as contact tracers and residence halls were transformed into isolation and quarantine spaces. As testing became more readily available, an ambitious assurance testing program was introduced in the spring, furthering the University’s ability to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Overall, case counts remained manageable. But it was the quickto-adapt approach that he witnessed from essentially every area of the University that became the basis for his strategic vision. LOOKING FORWARD “Until the Delta variant, I think we had the false idea that the pandemic would soon be in the rear-view mirror. The reality is that we will be dealing with COVID-19 for years to come, and I’m becoming more certain that we need to learn to live with it as safely as we can while planning for the unknown.” Cant immediately committed to creating a plan that focuses the Above: In an ode to his Australian roots, Wilkes students gifted Cant with an authentic boomerang hand painted in blue and gold and inscribed with the inauguration date and theme.

Excellent faculty. Incredible research opportunities shared with students. A caring staff. A great reputation. A small environment with state-of-the-art facilities that enhance the learning experience,” he explains. But Cant admits there is no shortage of well-documented challenges facing colleges and universities. And in some cases, small, independent schools like Wilkes are considered at a greater risk than large, state-institution counterparts. In his view, the long-anticipated shortage of college-age students blended with a hypercompetitive environment only exacerbates the need for change. “Being blunt, higher education is not known for its speed or agility. In fact, a reasonable observer might conclude that higher education’s foundation has been stability, not agility. Agility creates risks, but I would argue that rigidity guarantees steady decline.” He continues. “We have an entrepreneurial fl air and we are not afraid to try new things. I simply want to embolden that. As I said in my inauguration address, the workforce of the future will have needs not yet known and will operate in a world not yet understood. We must be prepared to meet those needs. To carry forward our promise and to thrive.” Cant thinks for a moment and smiles. “And we do it as student’s lives are transformed. What’s better than that?” WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 University’s efforts on its most critical priorities in the midst of a global pandemic. The Bridge to the Future Strategic Plan is two years in duration and limited in scope. Above all else, it emphasizes institutional efficiency, agility and a culture of entrepreneurship. “Throughout this crisis, we demonstrated an amazing capacity to reimagine ourselves. We need to move beyond episodic pivots and be laser-focused on efficiency, while we promote agility and embrace the power of entrepreneurial thinking,” Cant says, a message he repeated during his inauguration address. As he points out, that creative mindset is already part of the Wilkes DNA. He cites a new program in civil engineering and a reimagined special education program as examples, 13 �Lighting the Way The theme of the inauguration of Wilkes University’s seventh president, Greg Cant, was “Carrying Forward Our Promise.” Even though the event took place almost two years after his presidential appointment was announced, the joyful weeklong celebration itself was a promise that Wilkes has a bright future ahead.

On a rainy Tuesday morning, cadets from Air Force ROTC Detachment 752 are working out in the McHale Athletic Center—more commonly known as the MAC. By 5 a.m., the sound of the 50-plus members going through what they call “PT” echoes in the cavernous space. It’s their haven when workouts can’t be outdoors. The athletic center boasts an indoor track and plenty of room for team practice and special events. 1 PHOTOS BY PATTY DEVIVA, BRAD BARRY AND KNOT JUST ANY DAY Just across the lobby, Terry Groner, manager of the campus Starbucks, and her team ready the coffee shop to open at 7 a.m. Keeping Colonels caffeinated is a busy job. Groner knows when the line for cold brew, lattes and Frappucinos will be longest: “Any time a class gets out.” It’s a quick stop for students and faculty before they exit the building. At peak times, the line snakes into the lobby. While in line, students add post-it messages to a board marking Starbucks’ 50th anniversary. 2 Although the Simms Center houses the Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, students from virtually every major use the building. For some, like Julia Dreyfus, a senior neuroscience major, it’s part of her daily routine. “I come here every day early in the morning, around 7:30,” Dreyfus explains from her seat by the window in Starbucks looking out on Main Street. “I like the music and I like being in here. It’s peaceful. I sit here studying until my first class—and spend a lot of money on coffee,” she says laughing as she gestures toward her Starbucks cup. 3 Study spaces throughout the building are popular with students, whether it’s in Starbucks, the lobby or spaces that are adjacent to walls that are painted to be used as erasable whiteboards. Students come and go throughout the day, parking themselves with their laptops between classes. Sophomore nursing major Gianna Picco is a fan of the whiteboards. “I rewrite my notes, draw pictures and diagrams—all kinds of things,” she says. Picco says she encounters fewer distractions studying in the Simms Center than in other campus spots. “And I live on Starbucks,” she adds. 4 H O M E SW E ET H O M E While students from across campus find their way to the Simms Center for a coffee or study break, others are there for classes. The building houses classrooms, co-curricular and extracurricular spaces for the Sidhu School and for the ROTC program. 5 The ROTC students attend classes there all day on Thursday, but every other day of the week, you can find them in a spot that’s become a home away from home. Lt. Col. Sarah Hedrick, commander of ROTC Detachment 752, says, “The heart of AFROTC’s operations, where cadets plan training sessions, develop lesson plans and relax together, is based out of the Maj. Candace Adams Ismirle Leadership Lounge. A 2003 Detachment 752 graduate, Maj. Ismirle embodied the character traits necessary in Air and Space Force Officers. It is a privilege to see her image and inspiration each day, as cadets strive for excellence of character in preparing to serve in the world’s greatest Air and Space Forces.” To ROTC students like Wilkes senior criminology major Nick Leverentz, the space is known simply as the lounge or “the Det”—short for detachment. “It’s really been the place of a lot of memories because we spend most of our time in there,” Leverentz explains. “It’s where we do all of our planning for classes and for all of our extracurricular clubs….I know the office has our cadre members in it, but the lounge is more of the actual heart and home of ROTC.” 6 Leverentz puts in late nights there working on projects. Other times, he’s been known to bring a cornhole game into the space. “We really appreciate being here and that we have all this space,” Leverentz says. Sidhu School Dean Abel Adekola also is enthusiastic about what the building has provided for his students and faculty in the seven years since the business programs moved there in 2014. “Being in one space gives faculty and staff the WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 B efore the sun even 23 �Simms Center Dedication Honors Alumni Ron and Rhea Simms The University community gathered on Aug. 11 to dedicate the Ron and Rhea Simms Center on Main.

Speaking at the dedication, Wilkes President Greg Cant said, “There is no better space on this campus to honor the Simms than this building. It is the intersection of campus WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 WATCH THE SIMMS DEDICATION CEREMONY VIDEO 24 opportunity to interact seamlessly in providing studentfocused education that enhances their personal and professional development through teaching, mentoring and advising,” Adekola states. “It also provides innovative educational culture that fosters joint creativity.” 7 That creativity is reflected everywhere—from the casual conversations between faculty and students in hallways to the student store where the products produced by first-year students in the Integrated Management Experience (IME) class are displayed and sold. There’s no mistaking that business is the focus from the moment visitors enter the lobby with its stock ticker or see the state-of-the-art Cardell Financial Center where students have access to the Bloomberg trading terminals, giving them real-time financial data and news. 8 Sidhu senior and accounting major Allen Kokilananda spends every day in the Simms Center for classes in his major or related to his senior capstone. As a member of the Sidhu Dean’s Advisory Council, he also regularly visits the dean’s suite on the second floor. “I really like being able to see what’s going on in the building throughout the day,” Kokilananda says. “I think it’s really neat seeing some faculty members running the track in the mornings, just getting ready for their day. Then I’m off to class. Later I’ll see students doing their sports in the gym.” As the lead admissions ambassador, Kokilananda sees other benefits. The building is a highlight when he gives campus tours. Prospective students also are introduced to Wilkes at open house events kicking off in the MAC.

The Student Athletic Advisory Council (SAAC) traditionally held an annual trick-or-treat event for children in the MAC. (This year it was held outdoors due to pandemic restrictions.) Guest speakers and other events in the athletic center are open to the community like this lecture with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 2018. 9 Some community uses are decidedly practical. On an October Tuesday, the Wilkes-Barre Health Department offered flu shots in the MAC. Earlier in the semester, it was the site for administering Covid-19 vaccinations. ROTC Cadet Leverentz notes, “I feel like this is probably the building that represents the university the most since it’s right on Main Street.” 10 10 11 Third-year pharmacy student Allie Gundlah still remembers being surprised by what she found in the Simms Center when she came to Wilkes. The Step-Up Rock Wall and Ropes Course was a fi rst for her. “I came from a really small high school where we didn’t have things like that,” Gundlah says. “And then to fi nd out that it was such an open, easily accessible thing….You don’t have to be in any kind of club or anything. You just go and try it.” Monday evenings are open climbing hours on the wall where students like Gundlah, who have trained in the Wilkes Adventure Education program, guide students in using the equipment. Other times, the ropes course might be used by athletic teams or classes for team-building activities. 11 The rock wall and ropes course aren’t the only things bringing people into the Simms Center after 5 p.m. On any given evening in the MAC, you might see the Ultimate Frisbee Club’s members tossing discs into the air or fi nd a team holding practice. The back door to the MAC, open to the Gateway on a warm night, beckons passersby to check out the action. Meanwhile, upstairs, MBA students, fueled by that cup of coffee they snagged before Starbucks closed, are in a night class. 12 Some time after 9, the last one will make their way across the bridge connecting the Simms Center to the parking garage and the building will be quiet. Until tomorrow. 12 WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 A F TE R H O U RS 25 �MEET THE “AVENGERS” Behind Wilkes University’s Powerful New WARLOC Supercomputer By Jonathan Davies ’05, MFA ’09 Wilkes University booted up one of the most powerful statistical computation that most research universities academic supercomputers in the region this fall.

With housed within a special, multi-disciplinary computer lab WARLOC, Wilkes hopes to bring a new, uniquely prepared inside the University’s Stark Learning Center. class of young research professionals to the workforce. WILKES | Winter 2021–2022 Several Wilkes programs have already begun utilizing working most closely with the WARLOC supercomputer aid in faculty and student research. As far as classroom (pictured, opposite page). They also happened to applications go, WARLOC allows Wilkes to offer students be the authors behind the generous and somewhat hands-on experience in data analysis, modeling and unprecedented NSF grant.

ALL PHOTOS COURTNEY SNYDER 26 We had the opportunity to chat with the brilliant team the cluster’s incredibly advanced computing power to �This is the only supercomputer of its kind in the region. How did it end up at Wilkes University? Del Lucent, associate professor of physics: We had been trying for a long time to get an NSF (National Science Foundation) grant to fund computational research here at the university. In general, it’s very, very challenging to do this because we’re competing in basically the same pool as universities all around the country, including some very prestigious schools. So, we had been trying for a while, but we eventually achieved a critical mass of a bunch of people working together, an environment in which to house it, and a very do-able way to impact students and we got our grant. So, that was for about a half a million dollars. And that was to have the machine built and also to hire Joe (Gubbiotti, system administrator). What is the WARLOC supercomputer? What does it do? Lucent: So, basically, WARLOC allows us to do all sorts of special stuff in a lot of different fields. We can teach things that we could never teach before. We can reach out to students in ways that were previously not possible—using things like virtual reality and such. More importantly, we can all perform very advanced computational research on really important global problems and integrate our students with that as well. Was it pure coincidence that From left: Joe Gubbiotti, system administrator; Henry Castejon, professor and chair, mechanical engineering; Del Lucent, associate professor of physics; Sofya Chepushtamova, associate professor of math and computer science; and Bobak Karimi, assistant professor of environmental engineering, earth science and geology. How will access to this supercomputer directly benefit students here at Wilkes? Lucent: This is something that’s special about Wilkes. We allow our students to undertake research tasks that they normally wouldn’t do anywhere else, even at larger schools. And WARLOC is a great example of that. Someone might ask, “Why don’t you just buy some time on a cloud and do all your calculations there?” Right? Because, no matter how impressive WARLOC is, Google has something better. And Microsoft has something better. But the thing is, in those cases, it’s almost like teaching your 16-year-old kid how to drive in a rented car. Nobody wants to do that. In this case, we’re using our own car. Rather than having to wait until later in their careers to learn how to use something like this, we allow students to have an actual hands-on approach with supercomputing as early in their undergraduate careers as they want. That’s something that basically does not exist anywhere else. I went to grad school in a big university, and even in my post Doc work, someone else handled the computer. You don’t ever learn how to really do that. You’re part of the University’s Data Science Collaboration Group. Is this like the Science Avengers? Explain? Lucent: I would love if people thought of us that way (laughs). this thing ended up with such a Lucent: In a way, yeah (laughs). We had some really clever, geeky people collaborating on that. Many of them are in this room (laughter around the room). So, we had a little contest and the winning entry actually came from Joe.

More than 600 Colonels returned home on Oct. 1-3, and many kicked off the weekend by attending the Inauguration of Greg Cant on Friday afternoon. Sixty alumni delegates represented their classmates at the ceremony at the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre.

In April, he was named the National Wrestling champion in his home country of Ecuador. In May, he competed in the Pan American Wrestling Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala. And in early October, he became the first Wilkes wrestler to compete in the Senior World Wrestling Championships in Oslo, Norway. He had finally achieved his boyhood dream of representing Ecuador as a wrestler on the world stage. “It felt great to represent my country where I was born and raised,” he said. But none of it would have happened if not for the generosity of Dick Smith and Lissa Bryan-Smith, who established an Guesseppe Rea at the 2021 World Wrestling Championships in Oslo, Norway, from Oct. 2-10, 2021. PHOTO COURTESY OF UNITED WORLD WRESTLING endowed scholarship for students like Rea and many others. Surprisingly, the Smiths have no connection to Wilkes other than the proximity of their home which is near residence halls and the athletic facilities on the Wilkes campus. “Because we lived in the neighborhood, we got to know people from Wilkes,” said Dick. The Smiths had admired the strong programs, caring faculty and coaches and dedicated students, and they wanted to help out in some way. “We found out that there were too many good minds being lost due to lack of �giving back money. So that’s how we got involved,” he said. The Smiths established both an endowed scholarship and an annual scholarship—with only one stipulation. “The student has to be in dire need,” Smith explained. “It has to be for someone who wouldn’t be at Wilkes without it.” Guesseppe Rea was one of those students. He moved to the U.S. from Ecuador with his family when he was 10. A few years later, Rea fell in love with wrestling at Stroudsburg High School, where he was a stand-out. He had big wrestling dreams beyond high school, but because of finances, college wasn’t an option. Then a high school teammate who attended Wilkes introduced him to head wrestling coach Jon Laudenslager, and as Rea remembers, “Wilkes became my only option.” Seeing Rea’s talent and determination to succeed, Laudenslager recommended him as a recipient for the Smith Endowment. The Smiths agreed—and over the next few years Rea thrived at Wilkes. “He had a strong will to succeed and strove to get better every day,” said Laudenslager. While at Wilkes, Rea was a four-year starter, earned All-American honors, was a four-time regional medalist, won the 2014 Wilkes Open Championship and still ranks as first in the record book for all-time victories. During that same time, a warm relationship grew between Rea and the Smiths. Dick Smith remembers the first time he and Lissa met Rea. “He came over to the house and we sat on the porch and G-Rea (what Lissa and Dick call Guesseppe) was so shy, he didn’t say a word. Now he talks a mile a minute!” The Smiths would often take Rea to dinner in town; and in turn, Rea invited the Smiths to family gatherings. “We met his family at his 100 wins party. His parents, aunts and grandmother came. G-Rea has a wonderful family. They are very connected,” said Lissa. Rea says of the Smiths: “I’m very fortunate and grateful to have met and built a relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They have become part of my family since I met them back in 2013. They are great people who love me and support my goals.” For the boy from Stroudsburg who once dreamed of a life as a wrestler, it’s amazing to see where those dreams, determination and hard work have taken him. After graduating from Wilkes, Rea joined the wrestling team at Muhlenberg College as an assistant coach, and now has the opportunity to coach and mentor others the way he was by Coach Laudenslager, to whom Dick Smith, Guesseppe Rea and Lissa Bryan-Smith in the Smiths’ home in Wilkes-Barre. he credits his successes. “Being at Wilkes taught me to be independent,” Rea said. “Coach Laudenslager and the wrestling program has a strong tradition of champions and has helped open doors to the wrestling community for me.” Rea has also stayed close friends with the Smiths. “I go visit them and stay at their home all the time,” he said. And the Smiths, who were never wrestling fans before, go to his matches and watch him online. Said Lissa, “We were up at 4:30 a.m. watching the World Championships in Norway and we were messaging Coach Laudenslager back and forth. It was wonderful because we were able to tell G-Rea that we saw him!” The Richard M.

George Pawlush ’69, MS ’76 Chronicles the Legendary Wilkes Coach Rollie Schmidt in Zeus and the Boys Members of the Wilkes University football team were practicing at Artillery Park on an October day in 1967 when the weather turned nasty. The players clambered down the steps after practice, grumbling about having to play in a chilling mix of rain and sleet. Suddenly a man walking among them, unnoticed until then, pointed at the sky and uttered a single word. “Stop.” The rain ceased and players realized that their coach, Rollie Schmidt, was the guy who seemed to cause the weather change. Several of them said that maybe it was really Zeus, Greek god of lightning and thunder, disguised in the personage of their coach. Schmidt, already on his way to becoming a Wilkes sports legend, acquired the nickname Zeus. Years later, the story is among many chronicled by Wilkes alumnus George Pawlush ’69 MS ’76 in his book Zeus and the Boys. A book about Schmidt was a natural choice. Although a low-key personality, his career coaching teams that came to be known as the “Golden Horde” stands as the most illustrious in Wilkes history. Schmidt, coaching football from 1962 to 1981, amassed a record of 92-73, including a stretch in which the “Golden Horde” won 32 games in a row over five seasons. A key to Schmidt’s success as a coach was his exhaustive preparation, studying fi lms of opponents in a way not common in 1965. “He was totally prepared for every opponent they played,” Pawlush says. Pawlush began working on the book by combing the University archives and conducting more than 100 interviews with Schmidt’s former players and colleagues. “I went through two or three tape recorders,” he says, noting he probably transcribed more than 100,000 words from interviews. Zeus and the Boys can be ordered from Amazon.

TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT ! uilding a promising future for Wilkes University requires incr d h energy, commitment and inclusiveness. Faculty, alumni, adm ' E J board members and students all have responsibilities in this > ? J"°rS’ I I----- lx essential quest. y and But a promising future begins with a strategic plan, and Wilkes Univer ' ’ to be a premier small university in the Mid-Atlantic region by 2010 is featured ' this edition of tire Universe. I encourage everyone to read about our plans and'"! us what they like and don't like about it. e Our plan also recognizes the need for us to help improve the physical environ mem in which our university exists. And I don’t just mean our campus I also mean the City of Wilkes-Barre. We are making great progress helping the city rejuvenate its downtown corri­ dor. Nearly S150 million worth of construction and renovation have begun in the downtown alone. Wilkes University is playing a greater and greater role in making this development possible. Like my colleagues across the country, I have discovered that helping our city grow is an important part of guiding the progress of our university. Wilkes’ future is inextricably linked to the health and vibrancy of WilkesBarre. No matter how good the education we offer is, an economically depressed city makes recruiting high quality students difficult (an essential element of our growth plan) and hurts retention. Recruiting the best faculty and staff from out­ side the region is also a challenge. The change in city leadership has been the single greatest factor in our ability to help influence city development. Mayor Tom Leighton has embraced the col­ leges. So much so that he has declared Wilkes-Barre a college town. Moving the city forward would be impossible without the help of great partners such as my colleagues from Kings College. When King’s and Wilkes speak as one voice, we represent the largest city employer. Some of the exciting developments on the horizon include completion of reno­ vations to the University Center on Main. The new facility will open this summer with indoor sports facilities and offices for staff and administrators. It will bring much needed pedestrian traffic to South Main Street. One of the most important projects for revitalizing and sustaining the city’s economic revitalization is the creation of a business improvement district, or B which supplements the cleaning, patrolling, customer service, and marketing vices the city is able to provide in the Downtown. Along with partners in the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Indi 0 sity presidents can help downtown development for the betterment University-sponsored and supported downtown development is , President Dr. 71m Gilmour VP for Development Martin Williams Features UNIVERSE EDITORIAL STAFF Cover Story: Executive Director, Marketing Communications Jack Chielli Associate Director, Marketing Communications Christine (Tondnck) Seitzinger '98 35 a vibrant, safe, culturally engaging small city.

SENIOR PROJECT COMPLETED BY K W three Wilkes University students will continue reaping 1 W benefits for the local econo­ my long after the young men graduate. Seniorsjon Polguy, James Gilboy, and Evan Walters, under the tutelage of engineers at Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc., redesigned a manu­ facturing tool that is making one of the many processes at the Wright Township plant more efficient. The new design will save Fairchild about 550,000 a year and between 520,000 and 540,000 in scrap savings. Project Einstein also is bringing some added business to Quality Metal, a Franklin Township machine shop. “This is having a ripple effect,” said Dave Wells, Ph.D., chairman of the division of engineering and physics at Wilkes. “The students have the opportunity to work with Fairchild on something that will help the company function better and save money and it’s being manufactured locally." Fairchild, formerly RCA, was estab­ lished al the Crestwood Industrial Park in 1960 and makes silicon wafers used in electronic applications—from auto­ motive to computing and industrial. The wafers are moved automatically from one machine or system to anoth­ er, Wells said. The component the Wilkes students worked on is a device that holds the wafer as it makes its way through the process. Wilkes has about 25 engineering students who are working on senior projects; four teams are working with various companies. This effort marks the first time that Fairchild and Wilkes collaborated on a project, according to Steven Willison, Fairchilds senior human resources associate. The company previously has worked with students from Penn Stale University and the Rochester Institute of Technolog)’. “It brings innovative ideas to the work force,” saidjill Vivciros, Fairchild's engineering and mainte­ nance manager. "It gives us the oppor­ tunity to work with students that may become employees.” Being part of Project Einstein has been especially beneficial for 22-year- old Polguy of Pocono Pines in Monroe Count)’. The mechanical engineering major was retained by Fairchild as a contract employee and is working there about 20 hours a week. “Working on the project was useful because we’ve taken what we learned here the last four years and applied it to practical applications,” he said. “And, I’m glad to be working with Fairchild. I’d like to work there after graduation.” Manufacturing the redesigned component could mean an estimated S2.000-S3.000 in sales for Quality Metal, owner and president Alan Reese said. “We made one prototype for them and we’re waiting for them to give it a try again,” Reese said. “We arc hopeful that maybe this will mean more sales.” Quality Metal, a 73,000-square-foot operation, has had a good business relationship with Fairchild since the machine shop opened in 1068. Reese estimates that sales to Fairchild total about 5100,000 annually. Any extra business is welcome.

Students served food, assisted members in basic hygiene, and provided companionship. According to volunteer Stephanie Victor, the students also built an addition to a single-room home that was shared by 11 people. Having no raw materials to work with, die volunteers had to use cardboard and other salvaged resources, such as wood and nails from dilapidated structures. The students worked at least four hours a day. The environmental conditions were exhausting, because die town is located in a desert, and die communication barrier made the work even more challenging. “We eventually started to pick up on some of the language and used a lol of gesturing,” said sludent Nichole Leader. The students received a warm welcome from the community members, according to volunteer Dimitri latrou, who said that the people hugged them and showed interest in them throughout their stay. A special highlight of the students’ experience was plating soccer with children at a local elementary' school. Most of dtese children are the first generation in their family to have the opportunity for education. “The town was established in 1971 by native peoples from the jungles and highlands of Peru who wanted to be closer to the capital in order to provide their children with these opportunities,” said Loyek. Though its people have not escaped poverty, Villa is a model of community-managed social development. The elderly poor of Peru have lately been relegated to living their advanced years in destitution, according to a website about Los Martincitos and the Adopt-A-Grandparent organization. “This is because the government gives the majority of funding to programs that benefit children and families," said volunteer Robert Bireley. This institution relies on the voluntary efforts of churches, other committed organizations, and compassionate individuals such as the volunteers from Wilkes, who all agree that they would never turn down a chance to go back. “We Americans had no way to ‘buy’ them (the villagers) out of their poverty, but a touch, a hug, some simple kindness, brought them wealth,” said Loyek. “And we, too, left so much richer."

HAROLD COX HE 2006-2007 WRESTLING 1 season will mark the 60th ■ Anniversary of wrestling as an ■ intercollegiate sport at Wilkes University Wilkes initially achieved national recognition under the leadership ofJohn Reese, who served as the coach for 42 years, only three of which were losing seasons. Wrestling was first considered an intercollegiate sport in January; 1939 when Bucknell Junior College con­ ducted an intramural wrestling tour­ nament at the YMCA. The announced objective was to lay the groundwork for wrestling to "become a major sport” at the college. By the following November, the program had become the principal intramural sport for the gym classes. A tournament was held in December to select an “all-star” team that was to schedule matches with local teams. A varsity team was organized for the winter of 1940-1941, but no details have been found. With varsity sports abandoned during World War 11, it was 1946 before a team was finally formed. The beginnings of the program gave little warning of what was to come, but this would change with the appointment ofJohn Reese as coach in 1953. Wilkes joined the Mid-Atlantic Conference in 1955 and produced its first winning team in five years. It would not have another losing season for 38 years. Over those years, Coach Reese would become one of only two collegiate wrestling coaches with more than 500 career wins. A lootc inside the oo,OOO square foot mam floor of UCOM shows three side-by-side basketball courts, six basketball backboards and a drop down batting cago.

UCOM: An Athlete's Haven The Eagles have the NovaCare Center, Olympians have their Colorado Springs facility and now the Colonels have The University Center on Main (UCOM), the latest addition to the Wilkes campus. The multi-use facility, will accommodate die practice needs of 350 athletes from all 14 varsity spons, recre­ ational activities for members of the Wilkes community and intramural sports. Addy Malatesta, director of athletics, believes that the development of UCOM opens an exciting new chapter for Wilkes athletics. “This outstanding multi-use facility wall be a showcase for our campus community for years to come." The interior of the 38.000-square-foot training ground is composed of three side-by-side tennis courts, with three basketball/vollcyball courts within the lines. Additional perim­ eter markings allow the space to accommodate field sports. During its affiliation with the MAC, Wilkes won 14 league championships in 20 years. From 1965 to 1975 Wilkes produced nine place winners in the NC?\a College Division I and Division III tournaments. In 1975, Wilkes moved to the E1WA, transferring to NCA/\ Division I and becoming the smallest college with a Curtain separators permit UCOM to play host to a number of activities simultaneously. The Center houses six basketball backboards, a drop down batting cage, and a 29-foot high rock climbing wall. A two-lane track runs the perimeter of the courts, and a ropes course is available for student leader­ ship training programs. Locker rooms are also accessible on­ site for all facility patrons. “The coaching staff recognizes and genuinely appreciates the support of the university and the tireless efforts of all the individuals at Wilkes who had a lead role in this project," said Malatesta. “UCOM will benefit the entire campus community Now we will be able to provide indoor practice space for more than three hundred student-athletes, expand the intramural program offerings, house club team practices, offer leadership training, and provide time for open recreation." Divison I sport. A series of four losing seasons in five years in the mid-1990s caused a re-evaluation of the program and a return to the MAC beginning with the 1999-2000 season. Today, the team is coached by John Laudcnslager, who had a notewor­ thy career as a Wilkes wrestler from 1994 to 1998. Now having finished his third year as coach, the team has demonstrated a steady improvement, progressing from an 11-11 season to 13-5 this year. It would appear that another chapter in the remarkable history of Wilkes wrestling is about to be written. !■ I 10 11 �story Wilkes University, 2016 In a letter to faculty and staff earlier this year. President Tim Gilmour envisioned Wilkes University in 2016, after the strategic plan has done its work: "Imagine a great Wilkes ten years from now. It is the premier small university in the Mid-Atlantic and known for its unique mentor­ ing culture that challenges students at all levels to extraordinary aca­ demic achievement and personal growth. Wilkes' faculty is renowned for its extraordinary commitment to student learning, and its staff is seen as one of the most competent in higher education. Faculty and staff are well compensated and are regularly provided opportunities to enhance their skills. "Sixty percent of the alumni participate in Wilkes' lifelong edu­ cational programs, mentor Wilkes students and alumni, and give gen­ erously to the Wilkes Annual Fund. ! Wilkes facilities and technology infrastructure are excellent and the campus and the city are quite sim­ V I W tILKES UNIVERSITY IS ON A QUEST FOR GREATNESS. W K W K a lime when Pennsylvania universities face major challenges, Wilkes has revised its strategic plan to pursue far-reaching goals. Our idea is not just io hold our own but to strengthen the institu­ tion, both in what it does and how its perceived,'’ said President Tim Gilmour. If we can do that, we will be a major factor in education, not only in Northeast Pennsylvania but also across the Mid-Atlantic.” Back in 2001, when the original Vision 2010 strategic plan was developed, the university identified four key factors that would challenge its operations and prov ide opportunity: a society that demands greater accountability, a declining pool of high school graduates, growth in the need for lifelong education, and technology that is driving innovation in all sectors, including education. Meanwhile, U.S. college costs have continued to escalate. “There is a real press on us to deal with that issue,” Gilmour said. “As costs increase, people wonder if 12 ply great places to work and live." were providing sufficient value for the dollar. One way to do that is to get better and better.” ] * The strategic plan is comprised of ten separate action plans designed to improve the university. This year, the focus is on “The Big Three”: • Building the capacity to deliver world-class mentoring • Developing lean, user-focused sup­ port services “ Defining and realizing an enrollment growth plan The Wilkes Brand: Mentoring The Mentoring Task Force is finish­ ing its first year of planning under the leadership of co-chairs Maravenc Loeschke, provost, and Paul Adams, vice president for student affairs. Their goal is to promote student success through a university-wide focus on world-class mentoring, thus helping Wilkes distinguish itself in the com­ petitive academic marketplace. “Mentoring is about creating a series of enriching relationships that are bodr spontaneous and intentional. They build upon one another to form a key developmental milepost." Adams said. “This will help our students fonn their identities, develop competencies, man­ age emotions, and realize their purpose."

According to a February 2006 report by the task force: “The goal of building capacity to deliv­ er world-class mentoring is to integrate mentoring into all aspects of our educa­ tional programs." Mentoring will be based on three major interlocking components: • the strength, reputation, and integrilv of the Wilkes academic program �covERStory Balancing Enrollment • the elements of the Signature In 2001, the university set a goal of Undergraduate Experience, from capstone courses to extracurricular increasing undergraduate full-timeequivalent (FTE) enrollment from engagement • extension and connection of existing 1.837 to 2.300 and graduate/nontradi- lional FTE enrollment from 669 to 1,800, commitments to mentoring in the explained Mike Frantz, vice president academic disciplines for enrollment and marketing He Six academic departments have co-chairs the Enrollment Task Force volunteered to take pan in pilot men­ toring programs to be implemented in 2006-2007: business, communications, education, environmental engineering inancial aid and registrar's office Less than five years into the plan, undergraduate enrollment has hit its mark, with 2,323 FTE students with Don Shandler, dean of graduate tial reports, they will be reorganized to cational choice for life,” reluming as studies and continued learning. carry' out the ideas that have the great­ needed to enhance their undergradu­ est potential, Frantz said. ate education.

JEAN SCHAPPERT. A WILKES JUNIOR FROM ASHLEY. IS ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS. SHE ACCOMPANIES A TSS ON HOME AND SCHOOL VISITS, WORKING WITH AUTIS­ TIC CHILDREN ON EVERYTHING FROM COMMUNICATING THROUGH PICTURES TO SIMPLY MAKING EYE CONTACT. 'EVEN THE SUGHTCST IMPROVEMENT IS A BIG STEP FOR THESE KIDS." SHE SAID. | .. The internship program is led by Dr. Carl Chametski, a Wilkes University professor of psychol­ ogy who has been consulting at the Children's Senice Center for about 10 years. He was instrumental in develop­ ing the centers autism program, which provides assessments and therapeutic interventions to youngsters diagnosed with pervasive developmental dis­ orders, more commonly known as autism. Chametski designs behavioral interventions and supervises the thera­ peutic support staff in implementing them. This work is particularly valu­ able due to the nationwide increase in autism diagnoses—from one out of every 400 children in 1998 to one of ever,-166 children in 2005, according to the U S. Centers for Disease Control. Although Wilkes students have helped at the Children's Service Center informally over the past decade, the internship program officially began about t wo years ago. Chametski usu­ ally places two interns each semester and often has a wailing list of junior and senior [/.ychology majors who are eager io participate in the college-cred­ it program. In addition to shadowing a TSS, interns write papers and have weekly meetings with the professor to discuss cases. “It’s a prime example of furthering Wilkes’ mission of mentor­ ing,” Chametski said. Interns work with children across the autism spectrum, from low- to high-functioning. "Our students are exposed to a wide array of symptoms of the manifestation of the disorder so that they can understand various treat­ ments,” Chametski said. Because Professor Chametski spe­ cializes in applied behavior analysis, much of the work he has the TSS and intern do involves analyzing a young­ sters behavior and then determining how to intervene to get (he desired results. For example. Chametski explained, a boy (autism is more preva­ lent among boys than among girls) might tell a classmate she’s fat, simply because that’s what the boy sees. Telling the boy that his name-calling hurts the girl’s feelings probably will not solicit a change in his behavior; autistic intli- viduals typically do not understand that others have feelings different from their oyyTi. Instead, the TSS attaches consequences to the behavior, saying that when he hurts the girl's feelings, he can't play with her. “He may never understand the girls feelings, but he will come to understand that his behav­ ior brings negative consequences,” Chametski said. “The child comes to knoyv how to behave appropriately in a social situation.” Sometimes solving a problem can be as simple as considering the situation from the autistic child's viewpoint. “Once 1 walked into a second-grade classroom, and the teacher was in a panic because a boy had come up to her and said: ‘1 like Linda with no pants on,' ” Chametski recalled. The teacher was worried about what might have happened between the two chil­ dren. Chametski talked to the boy and realized he was just commenting on how the girl looked in the dress she was wearing that day, instead ol the pants she usually wore. A potential crisis was averted- Chametski is one of the most out­ standing behavior specialists in north­ east Pennsy lvania, according to Joseph DeVizia, yvho headed the Children's Service Center for 26 years before recently becoming executive director of the Luzerne County Office of Human Services. "He was at the ground floor of this whole movement in autism." DeVizia said. The internship program helps university' students gain experi­ ence in real-life situations. DeVizia said, noting that "it's not terribly common for students to learn about autism right in the classroom with autistic chil­ dren." The interns' exceptional training has paid off: several have been hired by the center alter completing their bachelor's degrees. For Katyn Shoval 05, her internship in the summer of 2004 was a stepping stone to her current enrollment tn a master's degree program in counsel­ ing and human services al Lehigh University. “Without mv Wilkes internship, I don't think 1 would have gotten neatly' as much out ol my psv chology degree, she said During hei internship, Shoval shadowed a TSS who was working with three autistic children in their homes, as well as assisting at camp with a child who has Aspergers syndrome. a less severe form of autism. "Before the intern­ ship. I didn't really know a lot about autism." she said. “1 learned so much." Current intern Jean Schappert heard about the Children's Service Center program through Dr. Chametski. her advisor. "1 was Irving to explore different areas of psychology and thought it sounded extremely interesting." she said. With a minor in sociology and womens studies, Schappert originally thought she would one day work with women and children who arc in abu­ sive relationships. “Now. though. I’m really enjoying working with the chil­ dren in this program.' she savs. Changed by her experiences. Schappert is hoping tor a second autism internship this summer.

If anyone has, he earned that peaceful rest through his life, which met the obligations conferred to be open, hon­ est, ethical, moral, compassionate, and dedicated to the service of his fellow human beings. It seems only natural that he would become interested in the law, if only because this is a nation of law. During World War II, he served as an officer of the Adjutant General’s Division, largely in the Philippines. When he returned home, he formed what even­ tually became one of the most presti­ gious law firms of the region. He left the firm in the early 1960s to serve as the Secretary' of the Department of Public Welfare under two governors, stepping out in the late 19b0s to become chairman of the state’s Human Rights Commission until 1970 when he was appointed by' President Nixon to the U.S. Court of Appeals, M Dr. Jim DeCosmo passed away October 9, 2005. He began teaching at Wilkes University in 1962 and in 1996 served as department chair. He officially retired in 1997 but continued to teach courses until this year. DeCosmo began teaching math in Long Island, N.Y., in 1956. While there, he obtained his advanced degree at Adelphia University. DeCosmo was a talented vocal­ ist and was active in various music groups, most recently the Choral Society at College Misericordia. He was also a handball player at the WilkesBarre YMCA for 40 years. DeCosmo enjoyed many things, including Wilkes University basketball, mystery novels, Broadway shows, theater, opera, clas­ sical music, movies, astronomy, and the Philadelphia Phillies. Surviving are his wife of 19 years, Betsy Crum DeCosmo; daughters, Betty and Patricia; son, Tony; brother David DeCosmo; and grandchildren, David, Megan, Emily, J.R., and Katie. Dr. Ming Lew, chair of the math­ ematics and computer science depart­ ment, says, "He was a friend and mentor to many past and present department faculty members. 24 Umvcrsity Remembers Judge Max Rosenn tf x3eT yn3l*t*iorl |J rIcIV© A nAhl/ *'***”/ Third Circuit. He served there with distinction for the next 36 years, end­ ing only with his death. In our last conversation, he said he was “in agony—absolute agony.” It wasn’t the physical pain, but he was enduring the unusual experience in his lifetime of being confined to a hospital bed for the better part of a month—except for a few' interludes into the intensive care unit as doctors struggled to help his deteriorating body provide at least the oxygen nec­ essary' to survive. Max w’ould not give up. There was w'ork to be read, daily conferences to be held with his law clerks and all odters who called. And there were many. So, his agony was rooted in not being able to get up and going again. Despite his rigorous work in the courts, he found more time than most of us do for a wide variety of services to the community. These ranged from leading the Agnes Flood Recovery' Task Force, serving for 33 years as a Wilkes University Board of Trustees 3 3 ■ Judge Mox Rosenn 1910-2006 member, working to persuade munici­ pal consolidation in the Wyoming Valley, urging the charter study com­ mission for Luzerne County, and mak­ ing contributions to the arts.

But Max Rosenn lives on in all of the accounts of the history' of this com­ munity, of this state, and of the juris­ prudence of this nation. Above all, he continues to live in the minds and hearts of everyone who knew him. He was, not by intent, but simply by example of his personal conduct, a shining star and a challenge to the rest of us. Ill Ifyou have, fill in yourfellow alumni on your accomplishments.

The Wilkes University Board of Trustees dedicated alumni and regional leaders are working hard to improve the campus and downtown business district. If you haven’t visited recently, you should see what you are missing! In the meantime, take a minute to read the cover and feature stories in this issue to gain an understanding of the latest developments. The feature story on the new pergola demonstrates the impact an alumnus can have on the landscape of Wilkes University. Clayton Karambelas "49 and his wonderful wife, Theresa, should be commended for their unique contribution of a Greek pergola that will soon grace the Greenway next to the Alumni House. This wonderful tribute will be enjoyed for generations by students and alumni. For all of us here in Wilkes-Barre, the wait for a downtown bookstore has taken a decade. But the presence of a Barnes & Noble College Superstore near Public Square on South Main Street was worth the wait, it is everything we had hoped for. With 20,000 square feet of retail space, this academic superstore will serve students from King’s College, Luzerne County Community College and Wilkes University as well as theater-goers, shoppers and others looking to reignite downtown nightlife. Wilkes could not have done this alone. Without close collaboration with our friends at King’s, and without the assistance of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry and the city and county governments, this wonderful development would not have materialized. This is the first time that two colleges have collaborated with Barnes & Noble to joindy operate a bookstore anywhere in the U.S. It shows a commitment to think in new ways so we can best sen e our students and our community. 1 hope it is just the beginning of innovative ways to improve student services and to lower the costs of doing business. This issue of Universe also includes the Report of Gifts for 2005 -006.

Marianelli '73 Made a Great Investment Emilio Marianelli 73 was looking for ways to honor Dr. Umid Nejib, who passed away in 2002 after serving Wilkes for 37 years. Dr. Nejib was a professor of electrical engineering, dean of the school of science and engineering and was responsible for the development and accreditation of the Doctor of Pharmacy program. "Let's keep Dr. Nejib’s vision and memory fresh for future genera­ tions,” was what Emilio had in mind when he made a generous gift to increase the Nejib Scholarship Fund. The funds of an endowment will never be exhausted. Earnings from these invested funds will provide talented students with a chance to realize their educational dreams. Ninety-seven percent of our undergraduate students receive financial assistance from Wilkes, and this support often makes the difference whether a student can attend or not. Why not follow Marianelli’s lead to increase Wilkes’ endowments when you want to make a gift in memory or in honor of a special person in your life?

Wilkes Purchases High-Rise Apartment Complex Wilkes University officials recently announced they have reached an agreement of sale to purchase University Towers, a 130-unit apartment building located at 10 E. South Street in Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes will purchase the building for S8.2 million from JPJR Ten E. South Tower, LP, an affiliate of Trivest Realty Group, LLC of Washington Crossing, Pa. The acquisition will solidify th university’s presence as an anchor to the downtown business district. In line with its master and strategic plans, the university will eventually reduce its presence in the neighbor­ hoods south of the campus and support downtown economic devel­ opment while creating increas­ ingly advantageous living/learning environments at the university. “This is an extraordinary move for Wilkes, said Dr. Tim Gilmour, Wilkes president. “Wilkes will scree its students better, enhance residential living options and further the reputation that WilkesBarre is a college town.’’ About half of the University Towers’ 205 occupants are students, according to Scott Byers, vice president for finance and support operations. “There will be absolutely no changes in the mix of tenants in the near future,” he said. Wilkes has had students residing at University Towers for the past three years in what Dr. Paul Adams, vice president for students affairs, has described as “a remarkably successful living arrangement that has blended gener­ ations in the same living space. ■‘This was a particularly attractive option for the university since University Towers is the preferred living space for our oncampus students,” Adams said. University Towers currently has the capacity to house 405 students, doubling the number of occupants and further increasing the number of residents living in the WilkesBarre business district. The university does not anticipate reaching maximum occupancy for several years. Wilkes will be able to offer student programming to a much larger audience, including support for mentoring and studying activ­ ities that are intended to increase student success. The college will no longer need to rent residential space from private landlords and will sell several university-owned properties, now used to house students. Wilkes will spend $1.7 million in renovations to health and safely, HVAC and elevator systems, among other improvements to the building, Byers said. According to Marty Williams, vice president for development and alumni relations, pan of the trans­ action includes a $3 million bargain sale gift to the university, resulting in the difference between the fair market value and the sales price being handled as an increase in the university’s real estate assets. "This is a perfect example of how donors can convey real estate to a charity," Williams said. Sordoni Art Gallery to Feature Work of International Photojournalist Hands of a Displaced Sudan: Cry1 for Compassion, a visual narrative of war, genocide and humanitarian crisis, movingly captured by journalist Ryan Spencer Reed, will be on view at the Sordoni Art Gallery fromjan. 15 to mid-March 2007.

The theater anchors the S31 million entertainmcm/residential/rctail complex along South Main and East Northampton streets. 1.^’ Exclusive Website for Prospective Students Featured in USA Today Wilkes University’s latest marketing tool called HelloWilkes, a special website created for accepted students to become familiar with the university through c-convcrsations with faculty and current students, was featured this summer in U5A Today and Philadelphia BusinessJournal. Social networking Web sites— like MySpace or Facebook—are essential to the care and feeding of the college student. Hoping to capitalize on that, Wilkes University introduced HelloWilkes this year to its accepted freshman class. A cross between MySpace and a weblog, HelloWilkes is an exclusive community for incoming freshmen to get to know other freshmen, strike up conversa­ tions with upperclassmen and faculty, and get a glimpse of daily life on the Wilkes campus. The Web site was created to replace the traditional admissions office “closing piece” that is sent to high school students who have been accepted, but have not made the decision to enroll. The site has proven to be much more popular—not to mention cheaper and more effective. HelloWilkes averages 6,900 hits per day—more than 200,000 hits total so far—with the average visitor going back nearly 40 times and staying on the site for an average of six minutes per visit.

King's and Wilkes involved the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber, and, within weeks, the group put together a proposal to determine interest in the market. "We received positive feedback," Byers said. Barnes & Noble and Follett, both big players in the college bookstore market, were the two finalists for the project. -25i i XT BOOKSTORE strt c both Wilkes ; ■■ ersitv and King's College ?.■< been brewing for more than a decade. However, the tinting ■ .isn't right...until now. .7, October, Eames & Noble College Eceksdlers. Inc. opened its doors to its newest bookstore in downtown Wilkes-Barre. This S2.4 million project was made possible by a partnership of the two colleges and the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, along with help from die city of Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County. Located at 7 South Main Street in the Chamber's Innovation Center @ Wilkes-Barre, the “academic super­ store" operates as the joint campus bookstore for Wilkes and King’s, and serves the needs of the general public. The bookstore occupies two floors of the former Woolworth's five-and-dime store building, creating approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space. The first floor of the historic building looks like a traditional Barnes & Noble store with newspapers, magazines and a wide selection of books. It also includes an 84-seat, full-service Barnes & Noble Literary Cafe with Starbucks coffee, lounge chairs and tables, and a spirit shop offering Wilkes and King's merchandise and apparel. The lower level of the building is where college students can find textbooks, school, office and dormitory supplies, and anything else needed for college life. The bookstore project boasts a few firsts. “This is the first time that two colleges collaborated on a project like this, making it the first joint campus bookstore for Barnes & Noble,” said Fred Lohman, senior vice president of real estate for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business & industry and ’76 Wilkes alumnus. The bookstore also is Barnes & Noble's first downtown location in a Pennsylvania city other than Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Recipe for Success ’’The idea for a joint bookstore has been around a long time in one form or another,” said Larry Newman, vice president of economic and community development for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business & Industry. “It made sense to combine the two campus bookstores and move to common ground in the heart of downtown. The circumstances were never correct before. It was not the right location or the right time.” Dr. Tim Gilmour, president of Wilkes University, said it took the right mix of people to make the bookstore happen. “There are so many groups that needed to come together, and this time, we were able to do that,” Gilmour said. “Clearly, the president of King’s [Rev. Thomas O’Hara] deserves a tremendous amount of credit, along with the mayor of Wilkes-Barre, the Chamber and Barnes & Noble. We had a lot of people working together and collaborating effec­ tively. It was a recipe for success.” The idea to pursue a joint campus bookstore downtown was revived late summer 2005. “We [Wilkes] broached the idea with King’s College and the Chamber,” said Scott Byers, vice president for finance and general counsel for Wilkes University. “We each had a bookstore, and we didn’t think we could provide the level of support for students, faculty and staff with those arrangements that we could with a joint bookstore." Securing a Retail Giant The call from President Gilmour regarding the opportunity to bring a bookstore to Wilkes-Barre was received by Paula Eardley, vice president of campus relations at Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Eardley visited Wilkes-Barre and went back to Barnes & Noble with enthusiasm for the project. we all got excited about bringing a store to Wilkes-Barre. We saw the vision that Dr. Gilmour and Father O’Hara had. “Barnes & Noble is interested in putting stores in communities that want us,” he continued. “We liked how the two college presidents came together. We want to build relation­ ships and have partnerships. We sensed that with Dr. Gilmour and Father O’Hara, and wanted to be a part of it." College officials and Chamber members said Barnes & Noble College Booksellers was selected to operate the joint bookstore because it brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table. “Barnes & Noble is a world-class retailer and an excellent college book Murals depicting athletics, campus life and Wilkes history are on display throughout the bookstore. “Paula got us all excited about it," said Patrick Maloney, executive vice president of Barnes & Noble College Booksellers. “It was a joint proposal to provide a campus bookstore to serve both Wilkes University and King's College. 1 visited the site, and supplier," Gilmour said. 'The company is so well-known and well-respected, and it will draw a lot of students to downtown Wilkes-Barre. Having Barnes & Noble here is key to the city's recovery strategy." 13 �covERstory covERStory Maloney explained that the term "academic superstore" is used to describe a store that is a mixture of a traditional Barnes & Noble store and a college bookstore. “An academic superstore is typically located on the edge of campus,” he said. “It brings the university and community together in a different way, improving relationships between the two. It's a wonderful vehicle to create that bridge between 'town' and 'gown.'” 1 I "This is the largest single retail project in Wilkes-Barre in 30 years. It's a huge step for downtown Wilkes-Barre." Barnes & Noble currently operates more than 570 college bookstores. Of those, nearly 50 are academic superstores like the one in WilkesBarre. The Bames & Noble bookstore in Wilkes-Barre joins an impressive list of colleges and universities with academic super­ stores on the edge of campus or close to town, including Southern Methodist University, University of Pennsylvania, The Ohio Stale University, Yale University, Georgia Tech, DePaul University and Dartmouth College. “The academic superstore that Bames &r Noble brings to WilkesBarre is centered around the needs of the campus with a mix of retail to it," 14 Byers said. “The former bookstore campus was 3,000 square feet. The Barnes & Noble bookstore will be six times larger at about 20.000 square feet. The company brings an expertise that is second to none. It is a well-recognized brand known for its quality.” Community Reactions The downtown bookstore is a key piece in the overall strategy to revitalize downtown, and the community has been embracing it. ■‘The reaction has been unbelievably positive,” Lohman said. “This is the largest single retail project in Wilkes-Barre in 30 years. Barnes & Noble brings a nationally recognized retail store to town, adding to part of the fabric of downtown. It’s a huge step for downtown Wilkes-Barre.” “For a long time, people asked why downtown Wilkes-Barre is not more of a college town,” Newman said. “There are 6,500 college students here, but traditionally, there was a divide between ‘town’ and ‘gown.’ That divide is rapidly disappearing.” Gilmour said feedback from students, faculty and staff when the bookstore was officially announced in August 2006 was very positive. “Overall, there is genuine enthu­ siasm to having Barnes & Noble R” place where the community could go and congregate. It does much more than provide required educa­ tional materials.” In addition to offering books, magazines and school merchandise, U the Barnes & Noble location provides another positive place to downtown and being our c ” hang °Ut in Wi'kes-Barre. “I’ege 14.000- people bookstore,” he said. “Students ° 11 “Approximately ------■' live ’----- -<■ .....

There is a little bit of a rivalry between the two schools because we’re located so close, but the Competitors Collaborate When discussing this new bookstore, the word heard most often from Wilkes and King's admin­ istrators, Chamber officials and , bookstore is a good idea.’ The bookstore helps faculty and , members of the community as " ell as students, Maloney’ said.

The bookstore important to Wilkes and the city. “First, it's Barnes & Noble—we attracted a world-class retailer,” he said. “Second, we couldn't have done this on our own. Third, the bookstore serves to further revitalize the city, which is critical to the long­ term success of the city and the university. We can’t act as an island and not be active with our city.” Maloney said he is happy to be a part of the redevelopment of the city. “1 think the bookstore is a wonderful thing for Wilkes-Barre,” he said. “These two institutions of higher education located half a mile apart were able to come together and make this happen. The store will celebrate the rebirth of WilkesBarre and the two schools. I hope it's a place that the community takes pride in. “I'm very' happy to be a part of A New Wilkes-Barre this.

Despite being in-city rivals who compete for students and wins on the sports field, Wilkes and King’s were able to come together. “Collaboration was crucial,” Gilmour said. “We had a real desire to create this bookstore and felt it was a real value to our students. We [Wilkes] couldn’t do it alone, but we [Wilkes and King's] could do it together. Both of us can be so much stronger if we collaborate." Setting aside the rivalry was not difficult, Byers said. “The bookstore is part of the first wave of opportu­ nities to collaborate and benefit both universities,” he said. “Students at Wilkes and King’s interact a lot now, but this helps solidify those interactions.” Rov.Thomos J.

Prominently located outside of the Dorothy Dickson Dane Center for the Performing Arts and near the entrance to the student center, the marquee keeps students on campus and even drivers on River Street apprised of the latest happenings around campus and the community. "I thought the sign was a good idea because if I wanted to know what’s happening around Wilkes, other people probably do, too,” Claytoim said. “Theresa and I live only a mile or so away froiim campus, and since many events are for the community as well as the students, we wanted to stay informed. And, since it’s run by a computer, it can be conveniently updated whenever necessary.” An active member of the alumni association and the John Wilkes Society, this proud alumnus donates money to Wilkes each year. “As a Wilkes graduate and part of the local community, I am happy to give back,” he said. “After all, the university can’t exist without alumni donations.” “All Wilkes students and faculty are deeply indebted to Clayton and Theresa for their generosity and caring spirit,” Williams said. “Part of my role at Wilkes is Io foster IK The pergola, shown here in an artist's rendering, will be located near Delaware and Chesapeake halls. relationships with alumni, and Clayton and Theresa have been leaders and role models for alumni for a long time.

Graduating in 1949 with a bachelors degree in commerce and finance, Clayton was president of Student Council and of the Thespians. He also was an athlete. He was on the university’s first wrestling team, first tennis team and was the coach and co-captain of the first swimming team. “And he’s still a social butterfly,” Theresa added. Now married 39 years and retired, Clayton and Theresa met while working next door to each other. Although Theresa didn't attend Wilkes, through her husband she eventually formed an affinity for the university, its wrestling team and ultimately all things Wilkes. Community Involvement In addition to being involved at Wilkes University, Clayton and Theresa also are active within their community and the Greek Orthodox Church in Wilkes-Barre. Clayton has always lived within one mile from the university. For several years after college, he ran a restaurant and candy shop that his father and uncle started in 1923 called The Boston Restaurant and Candy Shop. After he sold the business in 1973, he started C.K. Coffee Sendee and continued to grow that company for more than 30 years. With these businesses and his involvement with charities. Clayton is a prominent member of the communitv "We re really excited for the new things happening at \\ ilkes and in Wilkes-Barre." Theresa said. “We hope our excitement is contagious and that others will take pride in, become a part of and come back to Wilkes to see what’s been happening.

And it has been such an honor and pleasure to serve. When I accepted the presidency, I knew Wilkes was unique. It was unique because of its commitment to students and its active involvement in the region’s development. My thought at the time — and even more so today — is that these are the ver}' qualities that the colleges of the future must possess. Building on these qualities over the past five years, we have become an even stronger institution. With the help of the entire university community, we have defined mentoring as the way we connect with and challenge our students, grown our enrollments by 30 percent, developed exciting new academic programs, begun to revitalize the campus, provided more competitive compensation and strengthened our finances — all things to be celebrated. But as our journey to greater strength has progressed, there has been a surpris­ ing but significant turn of events. Without explicitly planning it, we have shifted from being an institution that was working hard to be very good to one that has the potential to be truly great. But to be great is even harder work and it involves significant change. The university community is rising to the challenge, but we are talking about change and it is both threatening and difficult. As one trustee recently said to me, “I admire your ambitions for Wilkes, but I’m not sure every­ one has the faith in Wilkes you do.” I responded, “That’s my challenge — to help as many as 1 can see the enormous opportunities before Wilkes and to believe we can realize them.” I know building a great Wilkes University will not be easy. But I also know that the opportunities before us far outweigh any risks we might face. We will need the help of our alumni — your talent, time and treasure — more than ever. As heartening as the news about Wilkes is the progress in Wilkes-Barre. My fitness program centers on walking around tire campus and town. Lately, I’ve been feeling like a sidewalk superintendent to an awakening city. It is exhilarat­ ing. It’s not just the projects about to be completed or underway — the new 14 screen theatre, the renovation of the Sterling Hotel, the development of the river­ front, the installation of new streetlights, or the plans of local retailers to expand or upgrade their establishments. It’s the significant shift in tone and attitude among those with whom I work. There is a growing sense that our city will soon become a lovely, artsy college town on the Susquehanna. I have to tell you it’s fun to walk around campus and town and feel this sense of optimism and possibility. And its even more inspiring to have the role I have been dealt in all of this. Come to Homecoming this fall and see it all — you’ll be so proud of your alma mater, nestled in a great, reawakening city and in the process of defining a vital role for itself in the 21st century.

Wilkes Brings National Publishing Firm to Campus Etruscan Press, a nonprofit cooperative of poets and writers, will relocate its operation and publication headquarters to the Wilkes campus. Previously housed with the English department at Youngstown State University in Ohio, Etruscan Press has created a full-time managing editor position and will provide on-site experiential learning opportu­ nities for students in the creative writing program as well as Wilkes undergraduate students. “While we delight in being able to provide a congenial home for Etruscan Press, we will benefit greatly from the national exposure of having the press here on campus,” said Wilkes University President Tim Gilmour. “This partnership also sends a strong message about the cultural richness of the region. Having a university-based press with the prominence of Etruscan will put Northeastern Pennsylvania on the literary world’s map.” From its inception in 2001, Etruscan Press has promoted books that nurture the dialogue among genres, achieve a distinctive voice and reshape the literary' and cultural histories of which they are a part. Etruscan has published books by H.L. Hix, Milton Kessler and William Heyen, whose collection of poetry; Shoah Train, received a National Book Award nomination in 2004. During its brief history, Etruscan Press has garnered several prestigious grants, including The National Endowment for the Arts, The Ohio Arts Council, and the Nathalie and James Andrews Foundation. Etruscan Press founders Bob Mooney (left) and Phil Brady (at podium) discuss the partnership with Wilkes. Alumnus Flies American Flag Over Iraq For Wilkes FootballTeam This spring, Wilkes University welcomed home a hero. U.S. Air Force Captain Tom Yeager ’96 returned to campus for the first time in more than six years to make a special presentation to the Wilkes football team. An F-15 fighter pilot, Yeager flew an American flag over Iraq on a recent mission for Operation Iraqi Freedom. He presented the flag, along with a mission certificate, to head football coach Frank Sheptock and more than 80 members of the football team who turned out to meet and welcome the captain. The flag will fly at Ralston Field during the fall sports season. Yeager, who credits his experiences as a student athlete and coach Sheptock for providing him with the leadership skills necessary' to be a good soldier, spoke to the team about his career as a pilot, the war on terrorism and the importance of team building, leadership and mentorship. “Wilkes University was a building block to where I am today," Yeager said. “I feel my time on the football field with fellow teammates and the leadership of coach Sheptock mirrors everyday life as an Air Force fighter pilot." Yeager also showed the team a DVD with raw footage of the mission Continued on Page S Pictured from Icit are: Dr. Paul Adams, vice president of student affairs; Addy Malatesta, director of athletics; Capt.

These conversations have been a won derful exchange of ideas about Wilkes’ plans to become a truly gre institution. I have learned that the Wilkes community is excited about this worthy goal and ready to get to work on achieving it. My conversations have also underscored the importance of explaining our strategic planning process—where we’ve been and where we are going—and why While most people arc aware of the progress we’ve made since 2001 when we launched the university’s strategic plan, Vision 2010, they are not aware of the revisions the Board of Trustees made this past June. In 2001 our initiatives were about bringing the university back: regaining the competitive advantage through exceptional academic programs; developing an exceptional support environment; and building financial and institutional strength. Action plans were implemented to achieve each of these initiatives. The 2001 initiatives produced six new academic programs, increased stu­ dent enrollment by 31 percent, and led to a 10 percent increase in freshman to sophomore retention rates (74 percent to 81 percent). We completed a campus master plan, improved public safety and financial management practices, and established a much better connection to our community through the Joint Urban Studies Center. We also completed a S30 million capital campaign, upgraded the Development Office, and increased annual fundraising. The Periodic Review Report from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education confirmed our outstanding progress and noted Wilkes’ potential for even greater things. Change, however, is constant. And as an institution, we must respond to those changes strategically and with passion. The publics we serve are pressing us to keep tuition affordable and to increase the quality of our graduates. Our traditional mar­ ket, high school graduates, will decline in Pennsylvania—11 percent by 2015. There is, however, substantial growth projected with the need for life-long and post-baccalaureate education. And there is the need to leverage technology to enhance access to learning for present and prospective students and to improve business operations. These are the challenges and opportunities our Revised Vision 2010 Plan addresses. Like the original version, Vision 2010 has three strategic initiatives and a num­ ber of action plans—10 to be exact—but three have been selected for university­ wide emphasis during the 2005-2006 academic year. They are known as the Big 3. They were selected because they have the greatest potential to address the oppor tunities and challenges facing the university. The Big 3 action plans are: 1) Build the capacity to deliver world-class mentor ing, 2) Define and achieve enrollment growth, particularly in life-long and post baccalaurreate education; and 3) Develop lean, customer-focused support in al1 university operations. In the coming years, we will will need need everyone everyone’’ss passion passion and and talents talents to help accom­ plish the Big 3 action plans.

Pataki also sent a strong message to budding entrepreneurs and business leaders to help develop the technologies that will reduce the country's reliance on foreign oil and outlined a role for govern­ ment in that process. “Government’s role is to empower the individual, empower the dreamer, and empower the entrepreneur with the opportunities to make dial dream come true,” he said. Governor Pataki is the first Republican-Conservative chief executive in New York state history and is currently serving his third and final term in office. During his twelve years in office, he enacted stiffer penal­ ties and “no parole” for violent offenders. He also restored the death penalty and ended parole for first-time violent felons.

It has beautiful beaches, you can get sun, and see the exotic qualities of North Africa,” he said. Merryman would know. He spent many years living in Africa. “I spent eight years in Kenya and four years in Somalia and Tanzania, and 1 have traveled to fifteen countries,” said Merryman, who credits the Peace Corps with his first chance to travel abroad. Students will visit Pompeii and Capri and even study Roman ruins and andiropological artifacts within the Vatican. Tunisia, which is located in North Africa, also offers exotic and educational qualities. “North Africa is more Middle Eastern. They speak Arabic. It is very' safe and very hospitable. I hope to promote an understanding of Arabs and Muslims,” said Merryman.

Drobish is study coordinator for a UNC team researching DNA repair genes in women with and without breast cancer. “Anytime your body makes new cells, your DNA gets copied," explained Drobish. “Sometimes there are mistakes in those cells, and the DNA repair genes fix those mistakes.” According to Drobish, if research finds that women with breast cancer have more repair genes in their blood than women without breast cancer, that information might be used to cre­ ate a breast cancer screening test Armed with that knowledge, doctors would be able to closely monitor their patients, making early detection more likely. In 2005 alone, 211,240 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in American women, according to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. “Psychology is more research-based than most people realize,” said Debbie Tindell, associate professor of psychology; who worked with Drobish at Wilkes. “Her undergraduate work prepared her extremely well for the important work she is doing now. ’ Wilkes psy chology students are given many opportunities to become actively involved in faculty research, Tindell explained, and students make formal a presentation of their findings during their capstone experience Drobish hopes to continue in breast cancer research even after the study is completed, perhaps becoming certified as a clinical research associate. 16 faith.” Marban said. However, studies with mice have proven promising in restoring function after heart attacks. Research is moving to larger animals, with the prospect of human studies by the end of 2006. "What is exciting is the possibility of using cells that are a perfect genetic match,” said Marban, who has been conducting stem cell research for five years. Ethical issues are avoided since the cells can only grow into heart tis­ sue and no embryos are destroyed to get the cells. His previous research has included genetically engineered ver­ sions of stem cells. Although Marban studied math­ ematics at Wilkes, he always knew he wanted to go into medicine. He went on to Yale University, where he entered a joint M.DTPh.D. program to earn his M.D. as well as a doctorate in physiolo­ gy. “This is a very quantitative field, so More Power Christopher B.

His research focuses on power management—develop­ ing semiconductors that manage the power of cell phones, MP3 players, video games, and home electron­ ics devices. Kocon’s semiconductors manage battery power by figuring out which options on a cell phone or other device are not being used at the moment and switching them off. “We love cell phones with a lot of options, hut we hardly ever use some of them,” he explained. semiconductors to be able to manage thousands of amps of power and be thermally stable. In a hybrid car, for example, the electrical system needs enough power to actually move the vehicle, as well as manage everything from brakes to air conditioning. “With each generation of cars, there are more and more systems being added that are electrical,” he said. “There’s a continu­ ous need to improve the semiconduc­ tors and chips.” So far, Kocon holds 22 patents, with another five or so in the works. “Most of my patent work is in finding the newest ideas and new generation of chips,” he said. “If you stop innovating, your business will die. There needs to be a continuous flow of new ideas.” As a Wilkes undergraduate, Kocon was able to spark his future career in research through his year-long senior project. “The nice thing about Wilkes is it’s not a larger school, so they’re doing their project.” For the past 10 years, Kocon has been helping future researchers get started.

Bill ToothiH, Joe Wilde, Aaron HoIIenback, and Dr. Sid Halsor, Professor of GeoEnvironmental Science and Engineering, on the summit of Avalanche Peak in the Absaroka Mountain Range. The climb marks the end of a successful research trip. Uncovering the Caldera BY TOM VENESKY ■ OE WILDE HAD GONE NEARLY TWO ■ days without sleep, yet the ■ thought of what lay beneath his feet was more than enough to keep him lucid. The Wilkes University junior had been chosen to help research a geological phenomena called a “super volcano,” or caldera, which is the largest type of volcano in the world. And of all plac­ es, the caldera that kept Wilde awake was not in some tropical locale, but in the wilds of Wyoming. Wilde, who is a dual major in com­ puter science and math, accompanied Wilkes professors Sid Halsor and Bill Toothill for the unique opportunity to research the caldera in Yellowstone National Park last summer. Wilkes is one of a handful of universities from across the country' invited to partici­ pate in the research. 18 The Yellowstone caldera is actually a large crater, 31 miles across, formed from the accumulation of thousands of years of volcanic material. The caldera erupts roughly every 600,000 years, and the last eruption was 630,000 years ago, according to Halsor. The research teams monitored the ground for millimeters of movement. It’s a trip that Halsor and Toothill have been making annually since 1999. “As a geologist, you couldn’t ask for a better field site to work in than Yellowstone,’’ Halsor said. “The research is a blend of high-end tech­ nology and standard field geology. It’s very rewarding." And very beneficial to the lucky students who accompany Halsor and ToothiH. Before heading out to Yellowstone, Wilde spent hours conduct­ ing geologic research and using high-pre- cision GPS equipment. He assisted Halsor and Toothill with packing the eight cases of expensive GPS equipment to be shipped to Wyoming ahead of time. At the park, Wilde and students from other universities were respon­ sible for monitoring eight research sta­ tions spread out across 50 miles of the caldera. The data had to be collected in a two-day window, which made for a hectic time for Wilde. “We drove back and forth to the stations constantly for 48 hours; it was tough," Wilde said. “There was a sense of urgency because the data had to be collected in that two-day period." But amid the bustling pace, Wilde came away with a multitude of new­ found skills. “Working with the high-end GPS equipment really expanded my knowl­ edge on certain survey technologies,” he said. “I also learned a lot about data processing and gained a lot of handson experience in the field. “It made me realize how busy and exact this work has to be.” The GPS equipment used by Wilkes is different from com­ mercial GPS units in that it can pin­ point a location within centimeters. Commercial GPS units are accurate within several meters, Halsor said. “There are very few institutions with this sophisticated GPS technol­ ogy in their undergraduate programs,” Halsor said. While the experience gives the stu­ dents valuable skills and experience, it also provides Halsor and ToothiH with a unique research opportunity. “It allows us to keep up with the technol­ ogy and applications,” ToothiH said. “I have focused on GPS technology for 12 years, and Sid has expertise in geol­ ogy, so the caldera research puts us in a position to combine our talents and contribute our findings to the national archive for future work.” While a caldera eruption would be catastrophic, Halsor said it’s unlikely that an eruption of this scale will occur in our lifetime. But as the years of research progress, Halsor and ToothiH say they are get­ ting closer to understanding the back­ ground behavior of the caldera system. It takes years to uncover meaningful trends of activity in a large scale data set. We’ve got a good foundation of data now, and we expect to gain greater insight as we build upon and further analyze our data. As long as we can manage the complex logistics, we 11 be going back every year." Il I Wilkes student Joe Wilde (kneeling) works alongside Eastern Illinois University student Levi Allbaugh to set up the GPS units in the network. • NsnDatcn Zl 2005 Yellowstone Caldera Survey HULL - r s \ NEZP Old Faithful MEER SHOS .

TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT WILKES UNIVERSITY President Dr. Tm Gilmour AM PLEASED TO REPORT SOME WONDERFUL NEWS FOR WHICH EVERY MEMB Wilkes University family can be proud. A team of reviewers from th w™6 States Commission on Higher Education recently issued an exceptional! Q positive assessment of the progress Wilkes has made over the past fiv ? and for its potential for the future. e ears This assessment was expressed in the Periodic Review Report. These required of all Middle States institutions at the mid-point in their ten-year ac tation cycle to ensure that they are taking the steps necessary to meet the incr " ingly demanding Middle States criteria. To say we are well perceived by our reviewers is putting it mildly. They said “Wilkes University is a center for excellent education, with a faculty, administra­ tion and staff whose priority is the education of leaders for today and tomorrow ” The Middle States reviewers discovered an undeniable climate of academic excellence here. They noted that “.. .Wilkes University is becoming known as a place for exceptional education and exceptional opportunities for personal and professional growth.” The evaluation team was particularly impressed with the university’s planned focus on mentoring to produce exceptional results in all of its academic pro­ grams and commented that the past several years have seen a complete revamp­ ing of the university’s financial management operation, creation of a transparent budget process, and significantly improved food service, purchasing, and public safety functions. As someone who has dedicated his adult life to academics, I love to hear words like transparent when describing a budget process. That word speaks vol­ umes about integrity and honesty, and those will always be watchwords at this university. I must mention a line that virtually leaps from the page of our Middle States report. When commenting about our Campus Master Plan, the reviewers observed that “Wilkes has unleashed its imagination on the future.” I can’t help but reflect on what a wonderful commentary this is on all the work that we do here. At its heart, the function of any institution of higher education is to touch society’s tomorrows through the accomplishments of those we teach today. Make no mistake, Wilkes has challenges to face to reach its full potential. We will address those challenges head-on with the help of all of you and fulfill our great promise as a university. Those challenges include reaching the ambitious goals that the board of trustees sets with us. The Board has centered the universi­ ty’s strategic plan on three points of focus: excellence and growth in educational Contents VP for Development Manin Williams Features UNIVERSE EDITORIAL STAFF Cover Story: Executive Director, Marketing Communications Jack Chielli Legacy families make Wilkes a pan of their lives Associate Director, Marketing Communications Christine (Tondrick) Seitzmger '98 Sports Editor John Seitzinger Contributing Writers Tracey M.

The reasons are as diverse as the people themselves. \\ // B« But there must be something special when, year after year, alumni recommend Wilkes to their children and their children's children. A lot of families are making Wilkes University a multigenerational part of the family—a part that permanently connects them to the university's past...and to its future. "We're celebrating the many connections legacy families have to Wilkes University, and we are excited about telling the stories of how Wilkes continues to offer an experience that transcends the generations," said Sandra Carroll, executive director of alumni relations. Legacy families help expand the Wilkes family for the benefit of the entire university, according to Mike Frantz, vice president for enrollment and marketing. "Alumni who recommend Wilkes to prospec ­ tive students are giving a great gift to their alma mater. That recommendation is a powerful endorse­ ment of the university—especially if the student is a family member," said Frantz. The Zokas: Academic Achievers at Wilkes te9aS^c 6VTRAcevW°o0MS Three sisters, three Wilkes University students. For the Zoka family, 19901991 was the biggest Wilkes year of all: Kim was a senior, Krista a junior, and Kathy a freshman. Kim also worked in the admissions office, giving tours and educating potential students about the Wilkes University experi­ ence. Krista was on the basketball team, and Kathy was just starting the studies that would lead to her graduat­ ing first in her class. “We all felt very welcome at Wilkes,” Krista said. “To me, Wilkes is like a big family.” Although the three Zoka sisters grew up in nearby Kingston, it wasn’t a given that they would enroll at Wilkes. After all, their parents, Suzanne and Robert Zoka, might have pushed the schools they attended (Marywood University and the University of Scranton respectively). Instead, the eldest, Kimberly Ward ’91, decided on Wilkes because of its academic reputation and also because of a pro­ fessor who took the time to talk with her about her initial goal of attending medical school. Kim recalls that her sister, Krista Rubino ’92, chose Wilkes because of two people. “It was a com­ bination of me and the basketball coach," she said. By the time sister number three, Katherine Genovese ’94, was heading for college, she had already taken an early calculus class at Wilkes and visited her sisters enough to know she would follow in their footsteps. The scholarships all three received helped seal the deal. The girls did well. Kathy had a 4.0 grade point average and received the Maxwell award for graduating at the top of her class, Kim posted a 3.472, and Krista 3.2. Today, Kim uses her bachelors degree in biology and minor in chemistry at Pfizer Inc. in Groton, Conn., where she’s a scientist in the regulatory chem­ istry, manufactur­ ing, and controls department. Krista earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology/elementary education, followed by a master’s in educational development and strategies, and taught first grade for eight years before becoming a stay-at-home mom to her three young children. Kathy earned a bachelor's degree in math and a master's in education and now teaches math at GAR Memorial High School, just a few blocks from the Wilkes University campus. “I tell my students to go to Wilkes,” Kathy said. “1 tell them you don’t need to go to a really huge school to get a good education.” KATHERINE GENOVESE, 2ND FROM LEFT, IN 1994 ON THE OCCASION OF HER GRADUATION AT THE TOP OF HER CLASS WITH (L TO R) SUZANNE ZOKA, KRISTA RUBINO, ROBERT ZOKA, KIMBERLY WARD, AND THENPRESIDENT OF WILKES CHRISTOPHER BREISETH. 3 2 �I covERStory LEGACIES are alumni with multiple ties to Wilkes University...in the same generation, multigenerational, etc. & If you are or know of a legacy family, please let us know because Legacy Families tell die story of your alma mater.

AN ASSISTANT PRO­ FESSOR IN THE JAY S. SIDHU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP. TEACHES BUSINESS STATISTICS AT THE UNDERGRAD. UATE LEVEL AND BUSINESS RESEARCH DESIGN METHODS IN THE MBA PROGRAM. Taking Action for Diversity BY TRACEY M. DOOMS NE YEAR AGO, WILKES University’ adopted its Diversity Action Plan, designed to guide the university’ in its quest to become a more diverse community in which cultural differences are under­ stood and valued. Today, concrete results are already visible, even as ‘.'•■likes makes plans for the next two decades...and beyond. Among the diversity success stories being told at Wilkes: • New outreach programs target potential students of color and other underrepresented populations by vis­ iting high schools with higher enroll­ ments of minority students. • Departments report annually about progress on diversity and multiculturalism. • A dir ersity ambassador program brought together more than two 6 dozen students from underrepre­ sented groups at the beginning of the fall semester for a three-day retreat. Upperclassmen took new students “under their wings” to help them adjust to campus and begin long­ term mentoring. • A diversity series is bringing per­ formers from a variety of cultures to campus. • Efforts to seek and hire minority faculty and staff are included in each search process. Rising to the Challenge Although the entire university is work­ ing to turn the Diversity Action Plan into reality, it has been led by Provost Maravene Locschke. When she arrived at Wilkes three years ago, one of her primary goals was to increase diver­ sity—and appreciation for diversity—at the university. “We knew this would be challenging in this geographic area,” she said. The 2000 U.S. Census tallied the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton metropolitan area population at 96.8 percent white; at that same time, 96.4 percent of Wilkes University students were white. -Meanwhile, the makeup ofthe broader L'.S. economv in which students will work and live is changing dramatically U.S. Census projections indicate that people ofcolor will make up one-third of the LLS. population by 2015 and nearly half of the popuhtion by2050. Loeschke set up a diversity’ task force, which recommended creating an administrative position response for diversity. In March 2003, Alan Zellner '72 was appointed the uni'® sitys first director ofdiversity’- The mer head wrcsding coach had sen as coordinator of minority a®*ilS Zellner’s first major task was to write the Diversity Action Plan, with input and approval from the president and academic commu­ nity. Loeschke noted, “We’re very proud that the faculty unanimously approved the Diversity Action Plan." The final plan was approved in June 2004. The document lays out the overall goal of promoting and supporting a culture of increased diversity at the university and in the community, noting that “we are motivated by the belief that students who experience a more diverse learning environment are better prepared for personal and professional success in a global and diverse world.” The plan’s view of diversity and multiculturalism encompasses not just ethnicity but also religious belief, sexual orientation, age, gender, and ability. The Diversity Action Plan outlines fifive primary goals: •• Create a more supportive campus community that respects and celebrates cultural, ethnic, and racial experiences. • Recruit, retain, and graduate a racially and ethnically diverse stu­ dent body. • Recruit and retain a racially and ethnically diverse faculty and staff. • Ensure that the Wilkes under­ graduate experience is racially and ethnically diverse. • Assign accountability to achieve the long-term progress envisioned in this plan. Visible Results The Diversity Action Plan has been in place for a little more than a year, yet achievements are already being made. The primary reasons for such quick progress, according to Loeschke, are Zellners “energy” and the fact that faculty believe in the importance of a diverse culture. “This shows the commitment of management—from the president on down—to ensuring that everyone who comes to our campus feels welcome and safe,” Zellner said. Thanks to proactive measures, onefourth of new faculty hires for the 2005-06 academic year were from diverse populations, including Chinese, Japanese, Bahaman and Indian. The faculty' search manual outlines new procedures such as advertising posi­ tions in publications with large minor­ ity readership. “We’re not leaving it to chance that we will get a diverse appli­ cant pool,” says Josephine Panganiban, vice president of human and organiza­ tion development. Panganiban noted that, once faculty' from underrepresented populations are hired, further measures work to help them become accustomed to the Wilkes environment. New faculty members are assigned a mentor, for example, but now the department chair also follows up with activities such as having lunch with the new hire and his or her spouse. “The biggest challenge is that Wilkes-Barre itself is not a very diverse population in terms of race, although it is very diverse in terms of religion, ethnicity, and culture,” Zellner said. “Therefore, enticing people of color to come into the area is a major challenge for everyone." As people from diverse cultures move to the area—whether to live and work or to attend college—he noted, it's important both to help current residents be sensitive to change and to assist newcomers in becoming comfortable. The university is making great prog­ ress. The number of students from diverse populations increased from 4.7 percent in fall 2000 to 6.9 percent in fall 2005. The Diversity Action Plan is also moving into a new phase, as the university considers recommenda­ tions of the Multiculturalism Across the Curriculum Task Force for mak­ ing multiculturalism a part of stud­ ies across campus, said Gina Zanoli Morrison, committee chair and assis­ tant professor of education. “People are already doing wonderful things in their courses," she said. For example, the voices of women and minority authors are being examined in litera­ ture classes, and teacher candidates take a multicultural education course “so they are prepared for America's classroom,” Morrison said. From curriculum to hiring pro­ cedures, diversity is being built into everyday life at Wilkes University. “1 know from experience," Locschke said, “a diverse campus is a richer campus."

The group visited sites from the Amalfi Coast to Venice and along the tray established great new friendships, had many laughs, and created new memories. The travelers toured the canals of Venice, took gondola rides at sunset, visited landmarks including the Statue of David in Florence, the famous lean­ ing Tower of Pisa, and the Roman Coliseum, and explored the ruins of Pompey. The trip included guided tours, dinners, and transportation throughout the country: “This is the place where legends were made, every' story was a fairy’ tale, and I knew I would never want to leave," said Michele Diskin ’95, associ­ ate director of alumni relations. The tour ended in Rome where each traveler took an illuminations tour of the streets of Rome and made wishes in the fountain. Perhaps some of the wishes were for another European adventure?

None of these attributes, however, quite captures the gratitude dtat I hear from our most distinguished alumni. Years ago, someone at Wilkes truly believed in you. It may have been an athletic coach, the theatre professor or the faculty advisor to the debate team. This person made a difference in your choice of a career, your apti­ tude for rewarding work and became a role model for a life of purpose and dedica­ tion. We call this marvelous human interaction by a host of names, but for our purposes, let’s call it mentoring. Mentoring is as old as humankind. It is the unselfish passing forward of wisdom from one generation to another. The word is derived from the Greek — Mentor — a friend of Odysseus who was entrusted with the education of Odysseus’ son, Telemachus. Mentoring in our world is a voluntary, individual activity — freely entered into by the persons involved. Take away this freedom of choice and you can still have learning, as in “learning the ropes” on British warships. Put the State in charge of mentoring and you witness the weird world of Sparta. We know what is good about mentoring and that it has been a significant part of dre Wilkes experi­ ence. Will it become an even bigger part of our future? This University will be dedicating itself over the next year to investigating how to turn the mentoring experiences we currendy provide into a powerful, individual­ ized experience for every student. Indeed, we want Wilkes to be known for provid­ ing the best mentoring experience in the country for alumni, students, faculty, and our staff. It will be University wide and it will be what we are about as an institution and a culture. We believe that mentoring lies at the heart of a superior education. Over the next several issues of the Universe, we will be reporting on our efforts to build a great mentoring program, and we will be calling on many of you to help us in this major undertaking.

Well-rounded... well prepared BY DAWN LEAS Learning opportunities outside the classroom prepare today's students to become tomorrow's leaders. I EARNING AT WILKES IS MORE THAN GOING I to class, taking tests, completing projects and checking courses off a required list while inch­ ing toward a diploma semester after semester. The undergraduate experi­ ence at Wilkes is a four-year journey that is multi-purposed, multi-layered and interconnected. It is no longer ■"good enough” to direct all energies in one area. To do a job well today, people need to cultivate a stable of skills including core knowledge of field of study, interpersonal skills, team think­ ing, and leadership. And the University is making strides in creating an atmos­ phere in which students have many opportunities to hone skills, realize tal­ ents, and become well-rounded as they 6 get ready for the real world. At Wilkes, students are encouraged to look beyond the classroom and academ­ ics to outside activities that not only enhance the educational experience, but also nurture personal development. A FEW POSSIBILITIES... According to Philip J. Ruthkosky, direc­ tor of student development, a goal of his office is to “offer diverse and creative programs that allow all students with different backgrounds and interests to participate.” The Office of Student Development encompasses community service, internships, leadership pro­ grams, student activities, the multicul­ tural affairs office and campus interfaith. Offering a cross-section of programs including volunteer opportu­ nities, work experience through intern­ ships, outings to sporting and cultural events, skydiving, rock climbing, skiing, and ice skating, Wilkes allows students to leam through experience. He added, “We are capturing the value of experiential learning. (We) act as liaison between the classroom and the real world.” Community service opportunities at Wilkes are many and varied including Habitat for Humanity, Red Cross Blood Drives, and Alternative Spring Break programs. Ann Loyek, coordinator of community service, believes that serv­ ice is a learning experience that helps students grow while creating a sense of social responsibility and self-awareness. “Overall, we help link students with service opportunities in the communi­ ty,” Loyek explained. “(It) is a two-way street; we are the bridge between them.” Studying abroad for a semester, a summer or an academic year is also an option for students to learn more about their majors and how their fields of study relate globally while also having the experience of living in a new coun­ try and culture. Dr. Wagiha Taylor, professor of International Business and Economics, organizes a spring break trip abroad for the students in MBA 598 Global Business Experience and BA 398 International Business Experience. This year she accompanied 49 students and several chaperones to London, Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt and Amsterdam to study these large finan­ cial centers of the world. The group spent two days in each city with tour directors giving educational presenta­ tions at various sites. Dr. Taylor feels that whether the students are business majors or using the course as an elec­ tive, the trip leaches them that global thinking is the future. “I really enjoy the fact that there arc no limits to the lessons learned through travel,” Dr. Taylor said. “1 like the fact they will always remember the educational experience they get from these journeys.” The bottom line is that well-round­ edness is achieved by getting involved doing community service, playing a sport, working on a play, joining a club, taking an educational trip abroad, com­ pleting an internship, studying in a for­ eign country or writing for The Beacon or Manuscript. The possibilities are lit­ erally endless. A LARGER VIEW... The world is growing smaller ever}' day. Students are finding employment with international companies, working with people of diverse backgrounds, and traveling for business. As the world becomes more interrelated, learning needs to as well. Students are now seeing the importance of partici­ pating in group activities and hands-on experiences to gain knowledge for tomorrow. Dr. Maravene Loeschke, Wilkes University Provost, explained that often times outside activities can strengthen the skills students are learn­ ing in academic disciplines. She also pointed out that well-rounded students are better prepared for professional success. To achieve this, Wilkes faculty and staff act as guides in a very active and deliberate advising process to help students select extracurricular activities that best fit their needs. For example, a student who lacks team experiences may be directed to join a spons team or a play to leam skills that can be carried over into a first job. Personal independence. Community responsibility. Awareness of self and of the big picture. Solid academic founda­ tions complemented by innovative extra and co-curricular activities that aim to produce exceptional students who are well-prepared for life after col­ lege. The educational experience at Wilkes is continually strengthening and adapting to an environment that is becoming more and more globally con­ nected.

PHIUP J..RUTHKOSKY DIRECTOR OF STUDENT DE DEVELOPMENT 7 �spotlight TEACHER AND SCULPTOR DENIS YANASHOT M'01 AND '03 IN HIS HOME IN SCRANTON, Never stop learning TRACY KAUFFMAN M'03 WITH HOMER, AN EIGHT-MONTH-OLD PIT-BULL MIX AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF HARRISBURG'S EAST SHORE SHELTER. BY KALEN CHURCHER '97 For some teachers, summertime means furthering their own educations. For others, its a chance to finish those putoff-until-tomorrow tasks. Whatever the situation, vacations allowforthe 'me-time'that is often forgotten during the school year. B g HEN SCHOOL LETS OUT B g B g for the summer, jy ^g teachers are often W W quick to immerse themselves in their favorite pastimes. Dr. Michael Speziale, Wilkes’ director of graduate teacher education, who himself enjoys woodworking when time permits, says that behavior ulti­ mately enhances what teachers have to offer. “The richer their background, the more they can bring to the classroom. Its applying your mind in a different way.” Painting initially drew Denis Yanashot MOI and 03 to art. The Scranton, Pa., 8 resident wielded an airbrush and spray’ gun and attacked oversized can­ vases to create his pieces. Today, he’s all but retired those materials. “I don’t even want to paint any­ more. I just want to carve stone,” Yanashot explained. “I still keep a stu­ dio on my third floor, but there hasn’t been anything on the easel for some time.” An art instructor, at Riverside Junior/Senior High School in Taylor, Pa., Yanashot teaches three-dimen­ sional design, including ceramics and sculpture. For him, summer signifies eight-hour workdays in his outdoor studio, carving muhi-hundred-pound slabs of stone. The process begins in springtime when he heads to Vermont to choose the stone. Typically, he leaves with a few pieces and an occa­ sional antique or two (another pas­ sion of he and his wife, Mary Grace). Eventually, the Wilkes alumnus hopes to carve enough large pieces about 20 — to hold a gallery7 showing. And even though Yanashot would love to spend every day carving, he beams when he tells of a students work displayed at a prestigious art gallery. “It’s nice to see your students get awards. You think, maybe they did get something from (class).’’ One might say it just wasn’t in the cards — or in this case the tiles — for Jeff Baird to become a millionaire. Baird, who received an Instructional Technology Specialist certificate from Wilkes in 2003, spends most of his time as a learning support and lead technol­ ogy teacher at South Mountain Middle School in the Allentown (Pa.) School District. But not so long ago, the Trivial Pursuit aficionado, prompted by his wife and son, auditioned for — and secured — a seat on ABC’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. “From the day I got the phone call, ’til the day that I got on the show, I don’t think there was a second that it wasn’t in my head,” Baird recalls. “I studied my butt off.” Unfortunately, Scrabble wasn’t on his study list, and Baird vividly remembers the question that stopped his $1 mil­ lion quest. In the game of Scrabble, ivhal docs a red square signify? Out of lifelines, most of whom were Wilkes professors or students, he left the game with 58,000 and show host Meredith Vieira to provide the answer: triple word score. Millionaire or not, it was an exciting break. Baird, also an instructor in Wilkes’ Graduate Teacher Education Program, stayed in the same hotel as romance novel heartthrob Fabio, and managed a passing hello to Millionaire’s original host, Regis Philbin. “It was very exciting and intimidating... the whole process was like being king for a day.” There’s no doubt the dog days of sum­ mer are a favorite for Tracy Kauffman M 03. As a reading support teacher, head teacher, and instructional support teacher at South Lebanon (Pa.) Elementary’ School, Kauffman has min­ imal free time. And as summer rolls into place, her pace only quickens. For five years, Kauffman has volun- leered at the Humane Society of Harrisburg and is a founding member of “The Fur Ball,” held annually in November. Last years formal event, that included a live and silent auction, raised $37,000, bringing the Balls threeyear total to S83.000. “I love animals, and I grew up on a horse farm (in Bucks County, Pa.),” Kauffman explained. “We learned to respect and have compassion for ani­ mals from my parents.” That compassion has led her to res­ cue pit bulls and involve her entire school in collecting food and supplies for the local animal shelter. The project is something in which the children become very' involved. “The first year, (donations) lined up and down the hallways. That pumped up the kids and they wanted to do more.” With the 2004 Fur Ball barely behind her, the Wilkes alumna is already gear­ ing up for this years event. And with summer vacation only a few months away, a time when she does much of her volunteering, its likely she'll be stepping out of the classroom and into the kennel very7 soon.

Rarely is there enough time for anything more than books, prac­ tices and games. But for three Wilkes University student-athletes, there is more to col­ lege life than just the classroom, athlet­ ic fields and gymnasiums. Sophomore Alicia Cain of Hummelstown, Pa., not only plays field hockey, but also rides horses. Senior John Muscarella is a wrestler, but has his artwork displayed in a storefront in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Beth Hom, a freshman from Flemington, NJ, is on the tennis team, but when she is not returning serves or rushing the net, she is a semi-pro­ fessional BMX bike racer. They are all certainly unique inter­ ests, but interests they obviously enjoy. Cain grew up around horses and her mom, Theresa, liked to ride as well. However, there was one problem for Alicia — she was allergic to horses. Forced to wear a surgeons mask when she began riding at age 13, she eventu­ ally grew out of having to wear the mask and now travels throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania for compe­ titions. “1 was determined to do it when I was 13,” Cain said. “I had a pony when I was little. My moms background helped me out a lot. I was very lucky she was interested. Now, my mom has one of my older horses.” Cains current horse Trinity, made the trek from Hummelstown to Northeast Pa. with her when she enrolled at Wilkes. Cain wanted to make sure there was a place for Trinity to stay before she came to college. During the field hockey season, Cain rides about three times a week. After the season, the number jumps to about five or six times per week. “I have done a lot of fiat work,” Cain said. “Within die past few years I have gone to competitions in Maryland and Pennsylvania and next year I am going to go to New Jersey.” Cains accolades include die first level GMO (Group Member Organization) and the Luzerne Championship. Riders are considered Junior Young Riders until they turn 21. There are eight regions in the United States and she took first place for her division. Because riding horses is a passion, the pharmacy major recendy founded an Equestrian Club al Wilkes. “The club is for people who want to learn about horses. I hope by die time I graduate, it will be a club where we could compete competitively. 1 have talked to a lol of people on campus who GRAPPLER JOHN MUSCARELLA '05, TAKES TO PAINTING, PRINTMAKING, AND OFF THE MAT, Gf PHOTOGRAPHY. are interested in horses.” While Cain is out riding horses, John Muscarella is painting murals. The business major with a minor in art, has taken an art class every semester he has been at Wilkes and credits his an teacher, Sharon Bowar, with keeping him interested. “She was the driving force behind it,” Muscarella said. Muscarella painted a mural dial hangs in the Stark Learning Center and recently took part in a project to help beautify empty downtown storefronts in Wilkes-Barre. Muscarella took his first art class when he was a sophomore at Riverdell High School (N.J.) and continued once he got to Wilkes. While he has no idea how far his art will take him, he plans on continuing to pursue his interest. “I still plan on doing it,” Muscarella said. “1 don’t know where 1 will go with sculpture, ceramics, watercolor, photog­ raphy and printmaking. When Beth Hom is not attending classes or playing on the tennis team, she is out riding her bike. But she is not on your typical bike ride through the Wilkes-Barre area. She is a com­ petitive BMX racer with an eye on the Olympics in 2008 when it becomes a medal sport. She began riding quads in 2000 with her father. But with her mother think­ ing quads may be too dangerous, she settled for dirt bikes — a decision that has definitely turned out for die better. “1 grew up around racing and I have been racing for five years,” Hom said. “1 turned Elite when I was 16.” Horn currently has ten sponsors and mostly races in her home state of New Jersey. She practices during the week in the Wilkes-Barre area and has been to Harrisburg to race on occasion. She “I practice March through December and during die week I practice in Wilkes-Barre,” Horn said. “I mostly compete in New Jersey.” What has helped her career is train­ ing with Greg Morgan, also a New Jersey native who is No. 1 in the World. It is that experience which she hopes will help her get to the Olympics. “That's definitely a goal,” Hom said. “There are national competitions all over. I have never been to the grand nationals.” Despite already having ten spon­ sors, in order to get to the world com­ petition she needs to find a national sponsor. “I’m looking for some new sponsors, 1 need a national sponsor to get to worlds, that is what I am training for right now. This is something that is really fun and I enjoy doing it.” I FRESHFJIAN TENNIS PLAYER. SETH HORN. AN OLYMPIAN-IN-TRAINING...

Where is the line of demarcation between hobbies and ordinary normal pursuits?" — SAND COUNTY ALMANAC kkxs rt j i Dense St. 'Ji Pr-otogrsphy FOR THREE WILKES UNIVERSITY GRADUATES WHO ZEALOUSLY PURSUE INTERESTS THAT ARE ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY, THAT LINE FALLS AWAY AS EASILY AS SAND THROUGH WATER. WHETHER TRACKING BIG GAME IN ALASKA, ENTHRALLING AN AUDIENCE WITH A MAGIC TRICK OR BREATHING LIFE INTO A CIVIL WAR CHARACTER WHO'S BEEN DEAD FOR DECADES, THESE WILKES ALUMNI DEVOTE CONSIDERABLE TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY TO WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS TRUE PASSIONS. BY DAWN SHURMAIT1S Why such dedication? According to Wilkes University psychology professor Dr. Carl Chameiski having interests outside work and family can lead to personal satisfaction, a sense of meaning and a degree of happiness rarely found anywhere else. “Balance is an important piece of life, says Chameiski, co-author of “Feeling Good is Good for You.” The book details how pleasurable activities such as eating chocolate and even petting a dog can boost your immune system. “If you’re truly interested in some­ thing, a pleasurable activity can help keep you healthy,” says Chameiski. Maybe that explains why Americans spend more than S25 billion a year on crafts and hobbies. For Dr. Jay Ungar 70, it comes down to this: “My magic is my life.” For Mollie Back ’56, Civil War re-enactment served as an antidote to sorrow, an interest that broke through the fog of grief that enveloped her after her husband died. For Edward Mollahan 81, an investment banker who spends his work days practically attached to three phone lines, a computer and his cell phone, big oame hunting provides the perfect solution for stress. Ungar goes one step further, incorporating tricks into his med­ ical^ practice as^a magic formula for a long, healthy life. No matter what their interest, each steadfastly supports diversions that beckon long after die work day is dotme. “If 1 didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t do it,” says Back. “Its where your interests take you. They ^become your life’s work.” Uttered by magicians everywhere, the word “abracadabra” actually comes from the Hebrew expression “1 create as 1 speak.” For dedicated magicians like Ungar, magic is far more than mere “tricks.” The real magic is in tire con­ nection between tire magician and the audience. Ultimately, Ungar tries to make people feel belter, whether they're friends at a party or patients at the other end of his stethoscope. “There is a definite overlay between medicine and magic,” he says. “I’ve got my family, my medicine, my friends and my magic. It’s all rolled into one.” A big believer in helping others, Ungar also spreads wisdom learned from more titan 25 years as a doctor to stu­ dents and aspiring physicians. In a lec­ ture entitled “Making Magic Happen,” he offers the following set of rules: “Go to sleep with a clear conscience. Be proud of the reflection that greets you in the morning. Find your passion and live it. Sweat the details. You’ll stand out in a crowd. Always say hello.” “This prescription will make magic happen,” says Ungar, an internist as well as a geriatric specialist in Massachusetts, where he treats (and tricks) patients aged 16 to 106. “I really believe people are pretty much the same, regardless of age,” he says. “If you treat everybody with respect and dignity, and make them feel special, you’ll transcend age." At the end of each office visit, Ungar asks patients if they want to see some magic. "People who’ve been coming to me for years say 'Doc, I’m fine. Lets get to the fun stuff.’ It's the whipped cream and cher- ry on top of the visit.” Ungar’s fascination with magic — feared as the devil's handiwork in medieval Europe and outlawed in the British colonies — dates to first grade, when someone pulled a nickel out from behind his ear. “It was like 'shazam.’ I read all the magic books 1 could,” he says. He continued practicing and performing magic through medical school and residency, taking lessons along the way from some of the top magicians in the world, including Slydini, a true master of misdirection. The brand of magic Ungar has mas­ tered is called "close-up” magic, a very intimate magic relying more on sleightof-hand card and coin tricks instead of disappearing rabbits, sawing people in two and the like. For Ungar, the “shtick" is the trick. 13 �'What am I doing here? to 'How am I going to pursue my quarry?'" Instead of mere "now you see it, now you don’t, ’ Ungar incorporates stories about his own experiences, feelings and beliefs into his act to further enthrall his audience. He has so many stories hes written a 250-page book called. "Bringing Magic to Life." The book, which he hopes to publish this spring, is his take on magic, medicine and life. The "author’ is Ragnu (Ungar, spelled backwards; “I’m a kid at heart who likes to share the excitement and wonder of magic with others,” he says. Along the way. Ungar’s amassed a library of illusion that’s as extensive as his medical library He also religiously attends magic conventions, always on the lookout for that next, great trick. 14 Magic, he says, helps keep his energy level up, his mind sharp and his body healthy. It also makes him feel good, especially when he performs at charita­ ble functions. ‘‘When people take up magic as a vocation, they get stuck on it. People who are into magic, are really into magic. I think passion is really important in life." A BIG HOBBY When Ed Mollahan ’81 talks about hunting, he becomes almost Zen-like in his descriptions. From the start, he says, it was never about just bagging a deer. "A lot of people think hunting is just I have a gun. A deer runs in front of me. I shoot it.’ It’s really not about the shooting,” says Mollahan, a Sr. VR forJP Morgan Chase & Co., in New York City. “It’s about the tracking, the understanding of the animal’s habitat. When you’re out in the wilderness you have a lot of time to think, from 'What am I doing here?’ to Tiow am I going to pursue my quarry?’ It’s not just about killing somedting.’’ For Mollahan, there’s his career. There’s his wife and two children. And then there’s hunting. It’s an activity that fills his life — and his house. He now has so many animal heads and antler racks in his office he’s seriously consid­ ering adding on another room to his Andover, N.J. home. When he isn t actually hunting, or planning a hunt, Mollahan is reading about hunting, honing up on his woodsman and sur­ vival skills with magazines like Field and Stream, Outdoor Life and Peterson’s. Is he obsessed? Chametski says no. “Only in the extreme can activities become detrimental — if a hobby interferes with your life in some way and becomes counter-productive.’' In a typical year, Mollahan might spend upwards of 57,000 on his hobby. Aside from the cost, such trips also mean time away from work and family. So far, Mollaharis wife has proved sup­ portive. As balance, Mollahan spends most of his weekends with his kids, coaching ball and volunteering at his community recreation center. I uckily. his children — aged 13 and 7—are both into hunting and target shooting. Will they ever join him on the trail? "Ultimately” he says, “it's up to them.” Mollaharis interest in the outdoors began as a child, when his grandfather would take him and his three brothers fly fishing in what was then rural New Jersey. During visits to family near Wilkes-Barre, Mollahan would hunt small game like pheasant and rabbit with a 20-gaugc shotgun. He eventually graduated to deer hunting. In the late 1080s, he began pursuing bigger game like mountain goats, pronghorn sheep, elk, black bear and even grizzly bears. For him, hunting is a social activity, something he shares with boyhtxxl pals he expects to grow gray with. It also prorides die best possible relief to the demands of a strenuous job. “Its a counter balance to work." he says, "Investment banking can be crazy." So far. his most remote big game hunt has been to Alaska’s rugged Brooks Range. His first trip took place in too?, with two friends. The camp was so remote they had to charter a small plane and ride on horseback to get there. There was no noise. No lights No nothing. Except animals. "Alaska is crazy.

You belter be prepared,” Mollahan says. “It can drop 40 degrees in one day.” Natures hazards aside, just consider this: an Alaskan grizzly can weigh 1,300 pounds and stand more than 10 feet high. “If you get close to him, you belter have a high caliber rille,” Mollahan says. Seeing a bear close up, in the wild, like that can be completely unnerving. There's an element of risk you thrive on. You don’t want to err.” On another trip, the crew set their sites on rams. But not just any rams. Rams with horns that curled at least 38 inches. Trophy rams. Using S2.500 spot­ ting scopes, the hunters spent most of die first few days hiking up and down mountains in pursuit of the perfect horn. Eight days in and the closest they came was a ram whose horns measured a mere 37 inches. Not good enough. “It can be nerve wracking,” Mollahan says. “It was legal to shoot rams that were smaller. But that wasn’t what we wanted. ” They ended up going home empty handed. To Mollahan, the trip was still worth every' penny — every considerable penny. Big game hunting is not cheap. According to a recent U.S. Fish and Wildlife survey, nearly 40 percent of U.S. adults — or 77 million people — spend about $101 billion on wildliferelated pursuits annually. Big game hunters must calculate airfare, licens­ ing fees, equipment, outfits, guide fees and gear (Mollahan owns about 14 shotguns, rifles and muzzle loaders). A single excursion can run into the tens of diousands. And that's not counting taxidermy fees. Typically, hunters donate the bulk of their kills to home­ less shelters near where they hunt. They take home the skin and the head, in special packing. The biggest concern is breakage. Homs can be fragile. “Once, I literally carried a set of horns through Newark airport on my back. That got a lot of looks.” So far, Mollahan has hunted in all but one of Canadas provinces, Alaska, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, North and South Dakota, Montana, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wyoming, where he got caught in a blizzard for nearly three days, stuck in a snow drift with winds blowing 40 mph. The goal is to “shoot bigger” than the last hunt. So far, the biggest animal Mollahan’s bagged has been an 850pound elk from Canada. Yet, he insists it’s not about die size or even the kill. “ For a lot of guys, a successful hunt depends on whether they kill somediing. When you’re paying a lot of money you can understand that. But, for me, I’m not going to harvest an ani­ mal unless it’s a quality animal.” He takes one hunting trip a year. Coming up: South Dakota, for white tail and mule deer. Nirvana? Africa. But with a safari running at least $15,000 — and two college funds to consider — it may take a while. “1 enjoy the chal­ lenge in anything 1 do, whether it’s work or family. It’s all a different chal­ lenge. It makes life interesting. I love it.” A CIVIL ACTION Mollie Back '56 remembers the exact moment she decided to take back her life. Her husband, Pete ’61, had died ol kidney and heart failure. In mourning, she had an epiphany. “I was silling in the rocking chair watching TV, just lis­ tening to the clock lick and a light bulb went on over my head. I thought I’ve got 20 or 30 more years to go. I’m not going to just sit here in this rocker.’ 1 was in a blue funk for three years. It lakes a while to really sing again.” For Back, what brought her back to the land of the living was a deepening interest in Civil War re-enactment. Chametski says hobbies and inter­ ests are a great way to combat depres­ sion, which is often highlighted by periods of great inactivity. “A marked symptom of depression is an inability to get pleasure,” he says. “You’ve got to get yourself up and moving.” Back went so far as to move all the way to Gettysburg, die Civil Wars most hallowed ground. But before she did, she became a devotee of re-enactment, which is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the United States. One of the many web sites dedicated to the pastime says re-enactment “reinforces our sense of pride in our heritage.. .it's something in which the entire family can participate. It’s educational and, finally, its a great way to escape the worries of today and 'pretend' in the great outdoors.” Immersed (and encouraged by her three grown children). Back pored over Civil War books, diaries and battle accounts. She was hooked on history; taking as many adult history' classes at die community college as she could. Eventually, she became a civilian inter­ preter at the historical home of Mt. Ida, at die ruins of the Patapsco Female Institute in Ellicott City, MD and at die Schrivcr House in Gettysburg. She’s also an experienced storyteller of dra- 17 �INTERVieW co t story malic Victorian tales, or ghost stories, and is the founder of "The Historical Impostors." a group dedicated to first person impression.

Now I reminisce while reviewing my 45-year career in secondary' education, I feel content and satisfied in knowing that I gave it my Wilkes best!’ As many' of you know, in those early years mon­ etary rewards were relatively meager. Far more gratifying and rewarding to me as an educator charged with the job of building fives was (through these years! being recognized and rewarded as Teacher of the Year, Coach of the n ENTERED WILKES COLLEGE IN THE YEAR I it was chartered, 1947. The student I body was, to a large extent, made up □ of W.W.ll veterans and G.l. Bill students. Education and learning were serious business. Competition was keen. Mature student leaders were in abundance and very capable. Wilkes was, and still is, an integral part of my life. It played a major role in my personal and professional develop­ ment. At graduation, I felt equipped to begin my teaching and coaching career. Wilkes provided me with the resources to develop my mind, body and spirit. I was prepared to face and overcome whatever insecurities and uncertainties Year, Principal of the Year and more recendy, Outstanding Retiree Volunteer of the Year. All of these awards were deeply rooted to the mature work ethic and moral compass that I was exposed to throughout my Wilkes Experience!’ In reality; an awful lot of the meaning of Wilkes could be found and interpret­ ed in its Alma Mater. Let me share this one personal experience with you... In the summer of 1947, John Florkiewicz (’50) and I were helping Mr. Jervis and a few other maintenance crew workers put up the Wilkes College sign in the front of Chase Hall. After its completion, John and I were sent to the President’s house (Annette Evans Alumni House, today) to move Get married? Have a baby? Get a promotion Win an award? Earn a degree? Open a business? Retire? some furniture. As we entered. Mrs. Farley was at the piano playing the Alma Mater. She saw us and immedi­ ately asked, “John and Charles, I need your help. Would you please come over here and as I play, sing along. If you were there and witnessed it all, you would still be laughing. After our first “slosh thru,” Mrs. Farley looked at us in a very understanding way and said. “Boys, lets do it again.” So away we went. “Wilkes, Our Alma Mater, We pledge out hearts to thee. Honor, faith, and courage, Truth and loyalty...” Now its your turn, go ahead....finish it! For professional growth reasons I completed various graduate studies and programs at Temple, Penn State, Villanova and Walden Universities. Each institution afforded me a different and unique perspective of my chosen career. They were invaluable blocks in the building of my life’s work. Yet. the pass­ ing of time affords me invaluable insight. This insight leads me to the conclusion that the keystone in my building is and was Wilkes. I am eternally indebted to the Wilkes Family for a lifetime of health, happiness and prosperity: l> I If you have, fill in your fellow alumni on your accomplishments.

TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT I ■ CANDALS AT PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES LIKE ENRON AND MCI-WORLDCOM so enraged lawmakers several years ago that Congress passed the Sarbanes Oxley Act in 2002, which makes for-profit CEOs and CFOs liable for the accuracy of their financial reports. This has naturally led to a call for higher education to adopt the same financial reporting principles. This summer the Board of Trustees of Wilkes, along with the administration, engaged in die major task of planning Wilkes’ future through the year 2015. This task included adoption of a very ambitious master plan and discussions about projected budgets, tuition charges, debt level, governance structure and how all of these fit with our mission. Another part of that planning included ways in which Wilkes could improve its financial reporting. Towards that end, the board is con­ sidering creating a Governance Committee and elevating the Audit Committee to a full-standing committee. Both steps are in keeping with best practice in the forprofit sector and will probably be required in two or three years. More itnportandy, these changes are the right thing to do. Such an intensive study of our future and an even deeper commitment to ethical business practices will take Wilkes to the forefront of its peer institutions. I believe that being ethical and true to our mission is the heart and soul of responsible leadership. My inclination, in fact my strongly held belief, is that we must disclose as much as possible. In todays climate of public relations, this is known as “transparency.” Frankly, telling people where you are headed is part of this trust. We are committed to being an organization that is ethical and socially responsible. This openness and transparency were evident in the way Wilkes developed its master plan, which commits us during the next decade to a significant upgrade of our physical plant, including the construction of a new health and sciences building, connections to riverfront development and a greener, more pedestrian­ friendly campus. In this issue, you wall learn more about the Wilkes master plan. This commitment also calls on Wilkes to bolster continuing education and gradu­ ate programs. We will invest in significant enhancements to Wilkes tradition of caring deeply about its students, to build a one-of-a-kind mentoring culture for our students, alumni and staff, which we believe will make Wilkes the top choice for the next generation of students. Future Wilkes students will come, not because its the local, affordable university, but because the university is their first choice. We will continue investing in attracting and retaining the best faculty and staff by offering competitive compensation and health care and retirement benefits. So what’s the rub? Our budget projections to 2015, which are based on this ambitious agenda, will require Wilkes to run itself more efficiently and raise more private gifts. As an important stakeholder in Wilkes University, we hope you feel the challenge and excitement as much as we do. If you do, I ask that you choose to support Wilkes generously in this quest for greatness. I* I WILKES UNIVERSITY President Dr. Joseph E.

Sidhu School of Business and Leadership’s Sovereign Center recendy launched a series of two- and three-day conferences on campus to help busi­ nesses and individuals improve tiieir performance. The sessions focus on project leadership, leadership enhance­ ment, and finance and are designed for middle-level managers and project team members in businesses and other organizations whose members lead, participate in, or sponsor projects or project-like initiatives. Sidhu School professors Edward Fox, Ted Engel, and Dean Frcar led the conference along with noted project management con­ sultants, authors, and emotional intel­ ligence coaches. Wilkes Univesity created the Joint Urban Study Center (JUSC) in June 2004 in an effort to help regional govern­ ments, including the City of WilkesBarre, stimulate economic growth and create more vibrant communities. JUSC is a partnership of businesses and institutions of higher learning. The centers stakeholders include small- to mid-sized communities that need assis­ tance researching proven government reforms. The center also provides the local consultation and analysis needed to implement the recommendations. The JUSC beliex'es creating a com­ munity- wide housing strategy' for Wilkes-Barre that promotes ownership of xarious types of homes is integral to xxanning back population. A recent report from the center details recom­ mendations on creating housing through preservation of historic homes and creation of urban xnllages and sin­ gle-family and multi-family units. Understanding how the past has affected the region is important to understanding the future. That xvas the topic of another JUSC report—how the past 50 years has changed the region and xvhat xvould happen if the region met critical economic indica­ tors, like job growth. JUSC believes that significant change—on all levels and in all sec­ tors—is needed noxv, according to Teri Ooms, JUSC executive director. “Past practices will no longer suffice in today's world. The region must xvork together to embrace change, must act immediately to institute proven strate­ gics, and must be selfless and xvork together,” Ooms said.

Wilkes Sponsors Forums to Gauge Support for Arts Center With the adoption of Wilkes University’s master plan and the revital­ ization of Wilkes-Barre well underway there is reason to believe the future of both the universit}' and city is bright. Adding to that optimism is another promising project under consider­ ation—the establishment of a non­ profit arts and cultural center in downtown Wilkes-Barre. This project recently received the green light from a firm retained to gauge whether enough support existed to make the project successful. Wilkes and the Cultural Council of Luzerne County (CCLC) sponsored two days of community forums to dis­ cuss the establishment of a venue for smaller scale dance, theatre and musi­ cal performances that would accom­ modate anywhere from 50 people in a cafe-style setting to as many as 300 with theatre-style seating. The forum was led by Artspace, the nations leading non-profit real estate developer and consultant for the arts. The Minneapolis-based organization recently reported that regional sup­ port exists to back an art and cultural center downtown, said Shelly Pearce, chairperson of the CCLC and direc­ tor of the Conservatory at Wilkes University. “Wilkes and the Cultural Council envision the development of a vibrant and diverse arts center which would become a meeting place for commu­ nity members of all ages and back­ grounds to appreciate the arts and all artistic media,” said Pearce. The center would also include gal­ lery space for the exhibition of largescale visual arts, as well as an intimate space for student and amateur art­ work. Space for community meetings, arts instruction of all kinds, a cafe, a gift shop, and possibly for various nonprofit organizations to lease would also be included. While new construction is also a possibility, several locations, includ­ ing the Sterling Hotel Annex, the Wachovia building on West Market Street, the Irem Temple building on Nonh Main Street, and the Studio Cafe building on Public Square, are being considered as possible locations for the proposed arts center. Admission Numbers Tell Story of Growth Full-time undergraduate enrollment continues io be strong, with more than 2,700 freshmen applications (up over 40 percent in three years) and nearly 500 transfer applications received for the fall 2005 semester. For the fifth consecutive year, an expanding appli­ cant pool has led to a decline in the percentage of students admitted. Students from a larger region are attracted to Wilkes. This year, one out of four freshmen reside out-of-state, up 7 percent from 2004. While enroll­ ments from northeastern Pennsylvania remain strong, residents outside the region are growing dramatically—from 84 two years ago to 128 this year. As a result, the percentage and number of students residing in campus-operated housing is growing, too. Typically, 70 percent of freshmen reside on campus (with commuting students accounting for the remaining 30 per­ cent). This year 79 percent will live on campus, where housing has been increased to accommodate almost 1,000 students. The sciences continue to lead the enrollment growth, but interest in other majors also remains strong. Nursing applications have grown from 76 in 2002 to 210 this year, while enrollees have grown from 18 to 52 in the same period. Applications and enrollments in biology, biochemistry, and chemistry are soaring. Interest in the pharmacy guaranteed seat program has grown to such a level that a significant wait list exists for applicants. In other majors, applica­ tions over the last four years have also risen: 38 percent in engineering. 47 percent in business, 48 percent in communications, 79 percent in crimi­ nology, and 126 percent in English. It is expected that the recent addi­ tions of special education certification and new majors in entrepreneurship, integrative media, and pharmaceutical science will help ensure strong and steady enrollments into the future. Ill 9 �/ l<= international STUDENTS STEP INSIDE THE MAIN GATE AT AUSCHWITZ. WHILE VISITING BEKLJ.J, STUDENTS POSE ATA REFURBISHED COURTYARD THAT ONCE WAS USED AS HORSE STABLES. Students Visit Sites from Holocaust BY ELIZABETH ALLES '03 M'05 TUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN Wilkes University’s Alternative Spring Break JI program traveled over­ seas this year to Berlin, Germany, and Oswiedm, Poland, the site of the infamous Nazi con­ centration camp, Auschwitz. The trip, planned by the global senice organization, Amizade, was to include service work on the concentration camp and discussions with Holocaust survivors. Due to inclement weather and frozen ground conditions, the stu­ dents were unable to complete the ser­ vice work but instead were involved in an educational and explorative trip through Germany and Poland. ralfc- 10 In Berlin, students toured the site of the Berlin Wall and the Brandenburg Gate, the most well-known landmark in Berlin and the symbol of the reuni­ fication of the city. Students were able to gain a sense of what Germany was like before, during, and after World War II and the importance of a united city The group also toured the Allied Museum, where they learned about the role of the Allied Powers during the war and separation of Germany. Students viewed the Wannsee Mansion, where Hitlers men made the final decision to use the Holocaust. During their tour, they learned that Hitler was not present at the confer­ ence and that he did not sign off on HALINA BIRENBAUM, A SURVIVOR OF AUSCHWITZ AND NOW A CELEBRATED AUTHOR AND POET, SHARED HER STORY WITH THE STUDENTS. BIRENBAUM SIGNED HER BOOK, "HOPE DIES LAST." any of the documents issuing die use of the Holocaust. From Berlin, the students traveled by train to Oswiccim, Poland to visit Auschwitz and the Nazi death camp, Birkenau. Here they saw the train tracks that brought prisoners to the camps and the buildings and cham­ bers where they were kept. Dressed in warm clothes, the students were horrified to think of prisoners in these buildings for numerous weeks and months with nothing to keep them warm from the harsh winters of Poland. Speaking with Halina Birenbaum, an Auschwitz prisoner for two years, helped the students to understand the cruelties that occurred during this horrible time in history. Kevin Gaughenbaugh, coor­ dinator of campus interfaith, noted, “This trip was eye-opening because this event didn’t happen hundreds of years ago; it is part of our very' recent history. We can’t ever allow anything like this to happen again.” When the students weren’t louring museums or landmarks, they walked through the towns, spoke with die local inhabitants, and learned about the culture. They dined in German and Polish restaurants and shopped in the many stores throughout the area. The abundance of people speak­ ing English amazed the students as did their friendly attitude toward Americans. Even though the weather was cold and the sendee project was cancelled, students gained a better understanding of another part of the globe as well as a very important part of history.

ITS A FUTURE THAT INCLUDES STRENGTHENING ACADEMIC > t PROGRAMS. BUILDING AN EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY CAMPUS. ENHANCING CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES. AND RENEWING THE W W PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF WILKES-BARRE AND THE SURROUNDING REGION. THIS VISION FOR THE FUTURE IS OUTLINED IN AN AMBITIOUS MASTER PLAN DEVELOPED BY ADMINISTRATORS, FLANNERS, AND ARCHITECTS, WITH INPUT FROM FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS. AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. IT MAPS THE UNIVERSITY’S PHYSICAL GROWTH OVER THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS AND IS GUIDED BY A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT FOCUSES ON ACHIEVING WILKES UNIVERSITY'S ACADEMIC MISSION. ALTHOUGH THE MASTER PLAN EXTENDS TO THE YEAR 2025, IT i I LEAVES PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ADAPTING TO CHANGES ALONG THE WAY, ACCORDING TO SCOTT BYERS, VICE PRESIDENT FOR FINANCE AND SUPPORT OPERATIONS. "WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A CONCEPTUAL PLAN, A LIVING PLAN THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AS WE WORK WITH THE CAMPUS. COMMUNITY, AND FRIENDS," HE SAID. "IT’S NOT A PLAN OF ANSWERS. ITS A PLAN OF STARTING POINTS." Working Together Because Wilkes University is an urban university; a major component of the master plan involves helping to revital­ ize downtown Wilkes-Barre for the benefit of students and residents alike. “We don't operate in a vacuum/' noted Byers. The plan acknowledges interde­ pendency and advocates for partner­ ships with the city of Wilkes-Barre, Kings College, Luzerne County, and private developers. The master plan, he explained, strives to answer the ques­ tion. “What must Wilkes University do to be really great at supporting on-campus learners and to be a good neighbor, citizen, and partner with the community?" Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton said city officials have worked together with representatives of Wilkes University and King's College to build a strong relationship while planning for “a true downtown atmosphere that will enhance the lifestyle of the college student.” For example, the university's master plan puts some operations downtown, which will encourage students and faculty to shop in stores, eat in restaurants, and patronize other downtown resources. “The Wilkes plan ties in well with city and county projects,” said Leighton, who discussed plans to build a new theater complex and a new labor and industry' building, to develop the riverfront, and to increase police levels for added safety. A More Beautiful Campus Overall, the master plan prepares Wilkes University to serve up to 3,000 full-time undergraduate students—a 33 percent increase from the current renovated, relocated, or sold, and new buildings will accommodate growth. The main campus quad will be com­ pleted, with view corridors providing visual connection from the quad to Riverfront Park. Residential quads will form neighborhoods at each end of campus, building on the concept of a green campus in an urban setting. A more pedestrian-friendly environment will be created, with cars on the outside and people on the inside. “We will create a campus that builds on the old framework, but it will be a greener and more beautiful campus,” said President Tim Gilmour. Though most construction and ren­ ovation projects will take place from 2006 to 2018, the campus community' and the community at large will sec results from the master plan beginning this summer. Three projects will kick off the 20-year plan: • The 40-year-old Dorothy Dickson Dane Center for the Performing Ans will receive an interior facelift and infrastructure renovation, begin­ ning this summer and scheduled to be completed in August 2006. The Dane Center will be an anchor for an arts district and for the south end of campus, complementing the Riverfront Park development. • Completion is also expected in August 2006 for major interior and exterior renovations to Chesapeake and Delaware residence halls. Built in the 1880s as a block of four houses with a common facade, the halls are among the university's old­ est buildings. The project includes transforming asphalt parking areas into green space and gardens. • The university hopes to begin moving into the recently purchased University Center on Main in January (see sidebar, page 19). Next on the agenda is a new health and sciences building, with con­ struction expected to begin in 2005. Departments for the sciences, engineer­ ing, pharmacy; and nursing, among others, currently housed in Stark Learning Center and Pearsall Hall, will relocate to the new building. Modem, high-tech labs and classrooms are included in the plan, alleviating the need for a costly renovation to Stark " It's not a plan of answers. It's a plan of starting points.

MILLER strategies, master plan, and in creating a true Wilkes team," said Miller, a member of the board since 1999. "Now it's time to focus on executing." According to Miller, carrying through on the master plan is critical to "ensure a 'willed future' for Wilkes." The physical aspects of the plan are also vital for the future of the entire community, he added. Another important item on Miller's agenda is making mentoring a part of the structure of a Wilkes education (see related story on page 20). "We at Wilkes have always had a culture of mentoring," he said. "Now we need to take that to a new level to help our students achieve their future." Miller also said Wilkes must commit to developing the university mission, vision, and values statement. He said the leadership team will carefully refine it before rolling it out later this year.

The following steps are necessary' to accomplish those goals: • Design and implement a university­ wide mentoring system (see related story on page 20). • Develop lean, customer-focused support operations. • Implement the master plan. • Work with the city and county to create a supportive environment. • Develop and implement a strategy' to create a world-class alumni organization. • Initiate a five-year, S50-S60 million capital campaign, following on the success of the $31 million campaign completed in 2001. (A feasibility study for the campaign will probably begin in January, Gilmour said.) “The real key for us, looking forward, is to execute the strategic plan," Gilmour said, noting that a superb leadership team stands ready to do just that “If we are successful, we wall be a significandy changed institution—one diat has a chance to make a real difference in what higher education is all about" I* I From Call Center to University Center on Main government accountability and management, having chaired the 1st The Strategy At a recent news conference Mayor ing gives Wilkes the room we need to Annual World Competitive Cities Congress.

For example, in fall 2004 the university surpassed the 2,200-student on-campus enrollment goal that had been set for 2010.

I• I d AA RCHIE BUNKER ONCE LAMENTED K \\ that there had not been a -—\ “good waitress since the U \A depression.” And, as often as his bigoted tirades and malapropisms have been ridiculed, I cannot help but muse that, at least with respect to this observation, he was correct. Where has all the service gone? In restaurants, airports, retail establish­ ments, banks, and even places of wor­ ship, all one is met with these days is rudeness, lack of consideration, and a sense of being ignored. It is true that we live in a time of advanced education, nearly unlimited access to Internet information, and tremen­ dously exaggerated perceptions of self-worth. It is also true that many’ of the employees engaged to provide service and otherwise interact with the Public receive compensation dial could certainly stand enhancement. And, finally, businesses, finding themselves in an intensely competitive, global environment, have slashed budgets to bare bones, cutting back on customer interface. However, 1 remain unconvinced that customers and clients would not great­ ly appreciate a small dosage of quality’ service—and might even be willing to pay for this luxury’. I can only faintly remember the days when I might place a rotary-dialed telephone call to a busi­ ness and be greeted by a human, rather than electronic, voice, who might even exchange a few pleasantries with me. I would not be required to listen to a litany’ of menu choices, none of which proximately match the description of my inquiry. I would not be placed on hold for a seeming eternity, subject­ ing my sensitive ears to the re-cre­ ation of one of my favorite Creedence Clearwater Revival tunes. I would not be mandated to punch endless numer­ als, pound signs, and number signs, entering my seventeen-digit account number. (As an aside, why are account numbers so long, when ten digits would be adequate to cover every’ human currently inhabiting the plan­ et? ) I would not be required to recall to memory an assortment of Personal Identification Numbers, consisting of a prescribed quantity of numerals and a-? A -B^ marriear U Am n l-» |^_ ."M "cIVG a Dal)y. letters; and, should my’ memory’ lapse and I forget this particular PIN, I would not be obliged to provide my mothers maiden name, my’ pet’s name, or the name of my favorite television show. I can recall a time when, during my’ shopping ventures, I would be greeted by’ an attentive salesperson who would oft-times disappear into a back room, emerging with the article I sought, in the size and color of my preference. I would not be charged for approach­ ing the window of a human teller in a bank. I knew the names of the persons who represented my insurance com­ pany and travel agency. 1 never needed to fill my own gasoline tank, because a friendly mechanic would perform this service, ensuring that my oil and fluid levels were appropriate and that my windshield was clear, while locating the cause of that annoying knocking sound (the soft drink can under die seat). I could ask questions of a human, and not be admonished to visit the compa­ ny's website or send an e-mail. If Archie were around today, no one would be offended by his tirades and malapropisms. They wouldn't even be listening. Antliony E Liuzzo.J.D., Ph.D. is Professor of Business and Economics and Director of the MBA Program at Willies University.

Many alumni came out on this very hot day to help the students and their parents move in. We surveyed a few of the parents to ask what it was like when they moved in for their freshman years. Many of the parents remembered their black and white television sets and their 45s. Today, students bring huge stereo systems, computers, and musical instruments. Every year, stu­ dents bring more and more, so mark your calendars for Friday, August 20, 2004.

But its an experience I hold close to my heart, for the people I’ve worked with have become my family.” Earlier that day Goldsworthy sat with his Wilkes family at the annual Association board meeting and election to learn that Bill Tarbart 70 would be the new' Association President. “Over the past several months I’ve come to know Bill,” commented Goldsworthy, “and I’m thrilled that he will succeed me as President of the Association.

A major in Integrative Media will allow the many students who wash to pursue more than one area of study to create a program all their own by combining courses from several disciplines. at.-mepRaueuRSHip major The major in entrepreneurship has been a dream of the business division for almost ten years. The program has taken great strides since the idea began in rz/f. with movement from a concen­ tration to a minor, and finally in fall 2ftM, to a major. Dr. Jeffrey Alves, Director of the Allan R Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at Wilkes University and the Allan B Kirby. Jr.. Distinguished Professor for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, and other members of the business fac­ ulty created this curriculum. According to Alves, "Entrepreneurship is like the liberal arts of business. ’ It integrates everything, allowing students to use all skills at once, put them into practice, then learn how to improve. Their motto: Leant. Do. Reflect. While the new entrepreneurship major will prepare students to deal with all aspects of business develop­ ment. Alves does not expect all stu­ dents who graduate with the major to open their own businesses. He pointed out that "entrepreneurship is an inte­ grative discipline" and that students will be able to make contributions to businesses, non-profits and govern­ ment agencies already in place. This will be possible because of the broad perspective these students will have. Five new courses will be offered, in addition to four already in place to accommodate students with an entre­ preneurship minor. The new courses will be spread across the four-year pro­ gram, culminating in an entrepreneur­ ial internship. First, however, is ENT 203, Opportunity Identification— Creativity and Innovation, in which stu­ dents will act, write, paint and participate in other creative activities. According to Alves, "the idea is not to make them artists, but to get them to think a little bit differently.” The semes­ ters that follow include courses in lead­ ership, marketing, and finance. This progression is also unique to the area, with Babson College serving as the primary model. M.A. CREATIVE WRITING Ur.

(TIM) I bring you best wishes for the New Year. ■ FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS WE HAVE WORKED TO BUILD A STATISTICAL PROFILE THAT MEASURES the University’s performance in a number of key areas such as student recruitment and retention, stakeholder satisfaction, and financial strength. I am pleased to report that overall results meet or exceed nearly all performance targets established. Highlights include enrollment and retention at their highest levels in at least fifteen years, excellent progress on die financial strength targets, and solid customer satis­ faction among all University stakeholders. This excellent performance has had a positive effect on campus morale. Wilkes fami­ ly members with whom 1 talk tell me that there is a new sense of excitement and opti­ mism on campus. People believe that they can make a difference, that their ideas for new programs and initiatives will be seriously considered, and that Wilkes University is on a padr to greater excellence and prominence in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Last October we were especially proud to have Governor Edward G. Rendell join us to unveil plans for thejay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, scheduled to welcome its first students in 2004. The School was established drrough a gift from Jay Sidhu, a Wilkes trustee, a 1987 graduate of the MBA program, and the chairman and CEO of Sovereign Bank. Watch future issues of the Universe for news of the School’s unique curriculum that will focus on leadership, entrepreneurship, emo­ tional intelligence, and ethics, which we believe will make the Sidhu School a national model for best practices in business education for the twenty-first century. To keep you in touch with late-breaking news at Wilkes, the Marketing Communications Office has introduced FrontPage, a monthly newsletter that will provide a snapshot of all we have to be proud of —our campus, our academic and co-curricular programs, and most of all our students, faculty, alumni, and staff. We look forward to your responses to FmntPagc, which you can download by going to wmv.wilkes.alu/resources/fmnt_pagc.pdf. As we look forward to even greater progress and success for Wilkes in 2004, we wish you all a happy and productive year. Ill Sincerely, Joseph E. (Tim) Gilmour President 16 J Gilmour recently announced | an initiative through which ■ Wilkes and area colleges will collabo­ rate with community leaders and city officials to establish an Urban Studies Center housed at Wilkes University. The Centers mission is “to provide pragmatic help to communities in the region to revitalize themselves, and become sus­ tainable urban communities.” Not sur­ prisingly, Wilkes-Barre, a city that has suffered the blighting effects of residen­ tial and commercial flight in recent years, will become the inaugural case study of the Center. Within three years, the Center is expected to be in a position to market its expertise to other small- and medium-sized cities in the region. The catalyst for the development of the Center was a challenge grant of $300,000 given by alumnus and trustee William P Montague ’68 and his wife Susan. Bill and Susan are native WilkesBarreans. They lived in the city until 1977, and their two children were bom here. They return frequently to visit fam­ ily, including Bill’s eighty-nine-year-old mother, who resides in the Heights sec­ tion of the city. Wilkes accepted the Montagues’ challenge, and President Gilmour enlisted the support of the four other institutions of higher education in the area—King’s College, College Misericordia, Luzerne County Community College, and Penn State/Wilkes-Barre—which formed a Council of Presidents in 1985 to collabo­ rate on projects through which the tai- “Suite Wilkes University sits in the heart o/Wilkes-Barre, and because I believe that its ability to attract students and remain viable is at least partly related to its envi­ ronment, Mi Sue and I thought that this would lx: a gt vat way to give something bach to the University and our hometown at die same time.” * BILL MONTAGUE, '68 AND UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE ents and resources of their institutions could serve community needs. President Gilmour and Dawn AtwaterHaight, Vice-President of Advancement, obtained pledges of support in excess of one million dollars from local business­ es, foundations, community leaders, and civic organizations to finance the Centers first five years, after which it is expected to become self-sustaining. The key to the success of the Center will be the collaboration among leaders in education, business, and government to realize a vision of a renewed WilkesBarre. The Center, according to President Gilmour, can “elevate the city’s vision of what it can be” by providing research, analysis, and consultation to "create an exciting and livable environment, a place where people want to visit and live.” Participating institutions will draw on their particular strengths to offer faculty expertise and technical assis­ tance, and students will have opportu­ nities to work with the Center through course projects, internships, and serv­ ice learning programs. Gilmour feels that students will “gain a sense of empowerment and confidence when they feel that they can have an effect and make a contribution to the envi­ ronment in which they live and leant.” In time, this partnership may lead to the development of cross-institutional interdisciplinary academic programs in Urban Studies and related areas. The Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry and the Diamond City Partnership will be at the center of planning. Stephen Barrouk, president of the Chamber, says the Center “will give us a chance to attack some of the sys­ temic problems in local government that have supported the status quo... It could provide an opportunity for local leaders to exchange information, which just might perhaps lead to trust and more cooperation.” I! I 17 ��OPPOSITE PAGE: WILKES STUDENTS WALK PAST THE JOHN WILKES STATUE ON THEIR WAY TO AND FROM CLASS. ABOVE LEFT: THE NEW MONARCH COURT IS A FOCAL POINT OF THE KING'S CAMPUS. ABOVE RIGHT: KIRBY HALL IS ONE EXAMPLE OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE RESTORED IN A WILKES CLASSROOM BUILDING. One expects a college town to reflect the busy hum of campus life and to provide goods and services that attract members of the campus community to its commercial center. One might also expect a college town to offer housing, restaurants, and entertainment and leisure opportunities that make the city a lively place to live, work, shop, and visit. Over the last few decades, however, Wilkes-Barre has been steadily losing ground in its struggle to meet these expectations and to project an image of a city where people would want to live and work. Yet in contrast to the deteriorating appearance and depressed atmosphere of the down­ town, the two city campuses look bright, busy, welcoming, and prosper­ ous, more and more like thriving, selfsufficient enclaves from which few feel the inclination or the need to venture forth into the surrounding city. But this disconnect between campus and 20 community has not always been the case. In the past, these campuses have shared much more common ground and common interest with the city and with its residents and businesses than they do today. The recendy announced Urban Studies Center was established to “pro­ vide essential research, analysis and con­ sultation to small and mid-size cities aiming for full participation in the new economy of the 21st century.” By mak­ ing the revitalization of Wilkes-Barre its initial project, the Center will provide a focus and filter through which the many orating environment affects rhe quality of residential, commercial, and colle­ giate life in Wilkes-Barre. The desolate look of the downtown as businesses abandoned it and the sense of civic fail­ ure have led to an increase in crime and the fear it inevitably instills in residents and businesses. And this fear has infect­ ed neighborhoods surrounding central city, including those around Wilkes and Kings. A long-time South Franklin Street resident recalls, “I’ve seen the area change from a gentle neighbor­ hood where you raised your children and knew your neighbors and social­ ized with them, to a place where fear keeps residents off streets that have been taken over by out-of-town drug­ runners." The invasion of city neigh­ borhoods by crime associated with drug trafficking has created an atmosphere that has all but eliminated the fluid movement of students between city and campus that existed years ago. Instead of walking to central city, students constituencies eager to do their share to help in the renewal can participate in integrated planning. The involvement of the educational institutions as well as governmental, commercial, and busi­ ness interests can help to shape a future of Wilkes-Barre that takes into account the crucial role all five educational insti­ tutions have played and can continue to play in maintaining a thriving urban environment A CITY IN DISTRESS The urgency of this initiative can hardly be underestimated. The growing inef­ fectiveness of city government and law enforcement in recent years; the crum­ bling infrastructure of a city where street lights collapse and parking garages are deemed structurally unsafe; the visibly decaying Sterling Hotel, once a proud focal point of the cityscape; and repeated evidence of poor planning, such as the abortive downtown movie theater project, all indicate the extent to which the deteri- remain on well lit campuses where a visible security presence makes them feel safe, or they travel by car to outly­ ing malls, hubs, and theater complexes to shop, socialize, and find recreational opportunities. Indeed, there is little in the way of such attractions left for them in the downtown. The best hope of all who have rallied to support the Urban Studies Center is that it will be able to channel the desire for the city’s recovery, apparent on many fronts, into sustained collabora­ tive action. The participation of educa­ tional institutions in this partnership is a promising sign that the city and cam­ puses can revive a relationship that was mutually beneficial in the past President Gilmour believes that suc­ cessful educational institutions must have the “ability to engage their regions1 needs because both will be the better for it.” The alternative, he says, is educational institutions that become “bastions,” defining and pursuing their missions with only their own interests in mind, without any connection to the communities in which they exist. Clearly, such an alternative is at odds with the Wilkes tradition and its his­ torical engagement in die needs of the city and the region. A TRADITION OF COOPERATION In the days of Bucknell University Junior College and the early day’s of Wilkes College, the relationship between the campus and the city’ was a visible source of pride to both. As the institution grew through the 40s, 50s, and 60s, the largely residential area between South River and South Franklin Streets from West Market to South Streets was transformed as many of the stately old homes and mansions, no longer suitable as modem dwellings, became classroom build­ ings, residence halls, and faculty’ and administrative offices. Kirby Hall became the library, and a carriage "If the Center can get everybody in the room working toward the same goal, it will be great; a dream cometrue for the city... I'm convinced it's going to happen." * MELANIE MASLOW LUMIA, UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE AND MEMBER OF THE ADVISORY BOARD 21 �ccveRStory covERStory house behind Chase Hall became a stu­ dent theater. In fitet, the city benefited from the college's acquisition of these old homes. Ronald L Andrews, who compiled An Inventon o f Historic Landmarks in the Campus of Willies College in 1975. pointed out that “By­ converting many of the structures for use... the college is preserving a signif­ icant portion of Wilkes-Barrels cultural heritage.” A walk along South River Street from West Market to South Ross Street today offers not only a sampling of diverse architectural styles that have cialty shops, and movie theaters. The fluid boundaries reinforced die sense that city and campus had a stake in die health of a common civic, economic, and cultural life. The connection was manifest in many joint college and com­ munity projects. The early alliance between the Kiwanis Club and the Wilkes theater program offered local res­ idents the opportunity to experience live theater in an annual musical presented at die Irem Temple at the same time that it fostered student learning, appreciation of the arts, and community spirit. department created and ran the Institute for Regional Affairs as a resource to help local governments become more professional and to bring about greater cooperation among many governments in the area.” Another mutually beneficial enter­ prise took shape when the local busi­ ness community's attempt to attract new industry was hindered by the area's lack of educational and profes­ sional development opportunities for workers in a new technical economy. Given the challenge that “If you build a time when the local economy was desperately trying to recover from the collapse of the coal-mining industry. Similarly, Wilkes responded to the area's need for primary' medical care and their surrounding neighborhoods, was particularly hard hiL But the city and its colleges resolved to recover and rebuild. Although many residents left the city to resettle "It just seems natural to me for Wilkes to support the city with its expertise and for the university to draw on the city as a resource for its students in a sym­ biotic relationship that benefits both."

Unfortunately, the recoven- die city so hopefully anticipated thirty years ago met with setbacks and disappoint­ ments as residents, retailers, and pro­ fessional and commercial offices abandoned the city, leaving behind block after block of empty storefronts, offices, and residences that deteriorat­ ed over time to become classic emblems of urban decay.

In the early decades of Wilkes, the boundaries between the city and the col­ lege were constandy shifting as residents and students shared the streets and side­ walks, and as students, faculty, and staff walked the few blocks to South Main Street, West Market Street, and Public Square, where they could patronize a variety of restaurants, department stores, banking and commercial centers, spe22 WILKES-BARRE THROUGH THE AGES (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT): A DOWNTOWN READY FOR BUSINESS. ■ STREET DEVELOPMENT IS A SIGN OF A THRIVING RETAIL ANO COMMERCIAL CENTER. ■ WILKES UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES CLEAN UP AFTER THE AGNES FLOOD OF 1972. • A PIANO DAMAGED BY FLOOD WATERS. ■ WORKERS INSTALL THE FAMILIAR RED CANOPY IN THE DOWNTOWN. ■ A NEW BANK BUILDING GOES UP ON THE DEVELOPING PUBLIC SQUARE. ■ THE PROMISE OF A MODERN DOWNTOWN WILKES-BARRE. ■THE F.M.

Professor of political science and member of the Centers advisory' board, Dr. Thomas Baldino recalls the history' of collaboration between Wilkes and the community in civic affairs: “Wilkes University has a long and distinguished record of providing support to the city and the region. Dr. Hugo V Mailey of the political science it, they will come,” Wilkes promised to construct the College’s first modem classroom building and attract a facul­ ty that would provide state-of-the-art science and engineering education. The new programs Wilkes was able to develop in the facilities of Stark Learning Center resulted in the reloca­ tion of modern industry to the area at by initiating the Wilkes-Hahnemann partnership, through which hundreds of area students earned medical degrees and brought their skills back to serve the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. DISASTER AND RECOVERY When the flood waters of rhe Susquehanna inundated Wilkes-Barre in 1972, as a result of Hurricane Agnes, some 25,000 homes were nearly destroyed, and 2,278 businesses were damaged by the flood. The down­ town, along with the city campuses in the suburbs, others remained and renovated their homes. Eventually the downtown assumed a new look under bright, unifying canopies that provid­ ed protection from the weather and security on well-lighted streets. New businesses opened, and old favorites returned. The beautifully renovated E M. Kirby Center promised to serve as a cultural and entertainment magnet to attract residents from surrounding towns. The Fanners Market on Public Square became a place where shop­ pers and downtown workers could lunch on the area's many ethnic foods One wonders how much a central planning resource, such as the Urban Studies Center, might have consoli­ dated efforts in the rebudding of Wilkes-Barre during the 70s. Would long-range, coordinated planning then have taken into account the importance of the college communi­ ties in the area and considered how to attract large numbers of students, fac­ ulty, and other employees into the downtown? Would such planning have anticipated the city's need to attract a youthful, as well as to pro­ vide for an aging, population? 23 �covERStory LEFT: BREISETH HALL AND THE FENNER QUADRANGLE ON THE WILKES CAMPUS. ABOVE: A DOWNTOWN WORTH SAVING. CAMPUS REBUILDING As the city struggled with its recovery, Wilkes and King’s consolidated their campuses through long-range planning and building programs that have resulted in two thriving and attractive areas in the midst of a failing down­ town. The new look of both campuses was recendy described by a long-time city resident as “exquisite... like walk­ ing into another world.” At Wilkes, the Campus Plan developed and executed over the last fifteen years was capped this fall with the placement of the kiosk featuring a campus map at the rear of the new' Henry Student Center. With the renovation of Stark Learning Center, the construction of Breiseth Hall, the demolition of Church Hall, and the placement of the John Wilkes statue in front of the Farley Library, the central campus now encloses the lovely Fenner Quadrangle. This attractive and unifying greenway has become a set­ ting for which members of the campus community have abandoned the city's River Common, a city' park where years of neglect have left muddy and unwalkable paths along a green strip where weeds grow wherever they can gain a foothold and fallen tree limbs lie where they have fallen. With the closing of North Franklin Street to traffic between Union and Jackson Streets, King’s has consolidated its growth into a compact, modem urban campus where raised walkways and restful green spaces unify its central academic and residential structures. Perhaps a bit unsettling is the fact that the self-enclosed design of both central campuses recalls the walled European universities of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, where huge doors and solid gates were closed and locked nighdy to emphasize the retreat of the academic communities into safe havens, apart from the distractions and dangers of the surrounding areas. The different directions in which the city and the educational institutions have been moving in recent years—of decline on the one hand and progress and growth on the other—suggest the real possibility’ that the campuses could assume the self-sufficiency of “bastions” while the city crumbles around them. HOPEFUL SIGNS Recendy, several bright spots have appeared to indicate the resolve of vari­ ous constituencies to change the city’s direction. Many residents have refused to relinquish their city to the physical decay in which fear and crime thrive. South Franklin Street provides a shining example of the kind of collaboration that the Urban Studies Center could help to extend to the downtown and its neighborhoods. Long-time residents, despite threats posed by the invasion of drug-related crime and slum landlords, kept faith in their neighborhood by "There is much that is distinctive and worth saving in the old buildings of the city, so a central clearinghouse for planning will prevent the kind of demolition and reconstruction that will make Wilkes-Barre look like any other city." SUSAN W. SHOVAL, UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE AND MEMBER OF THE URBAN STUDIES CENTER ADVISORY BOARD 24 "The Urban Studies Center... could provide for the possibili­ ty of a deeper understanding of the issues facing a city that is in the process of revitalization... The educational institu­ tions can bring to such a center their own intellectual capital in the form of faculty and professional staff insights on any given issue. Our students can both learn from and con­ tribute to such a center by interacting with outside experts, city officials and others who have the common goal of seeing Wilkes-Barre revitalized." THOMAS J. O'HARA, CSC, PRESIDENT, KING'S COLLEGE resisting residential flight. New home­ owners and landlords renovated single homes and apartment buildings to highlight their historic and architectur­ al features. The University acquired the properties that became Fortinsky and Schiowitz Halls, buildings that might, if left in private hands, have con­ tributed to the decay of the neighbor­ hood. The Mans Center replaced the old gym, and Passan Hall was renovat­ ed to become a central administrative building. CityVest, through its South Franklin Street Restoration Project, has joined the effort to return the street to its former beauty and dignity, as a model of the kind of turnaround through which the University’ and pri­ vate and community interests have worked together with stunning results to rebuild a neighborhood. There are even a few signs that renewal is extending to South Main Street and Public Square. Although an empty call center stands as an emblem of tire city’s recent failures in attracting jobs that would bring people down­ town and stimulate entrepreneurship, long-time businesses have maintained their footholds in the downtown. Despite the many empty storefronts that surround them, Boscov’s, Bartikowskys, the Gallery of Sound, the Hollywood, and Marquis Art and Frame have remained anchors of retail trade on South Main StreeL A recent opening at the new Marquis An Gallery attracted more than a hundred people. Hottie’s, Lowe’s, and Katana restaraunts continue to draw people in search of consistently good food. Cafe Rouge, a new coffeehouse in Midtown Village that frequently features poetry readings, may lure students off cam­ pus, and a recently opened Subway on South Main Street reports that business is good. The Chamber of Business and Industry’s Innovation Center, a resource to provide help and encour­ agement to entrepreneurship that could fill empty retail spaces, is slated to open on South Main Street in 2004. The November election has raised hopes that the strained relationships among local government, business interests, residents, and the educational communities, can be rebuilt. In November, at a well-attended public meeting in the Kirby Center, people worked in groups to brainstorm and compile lists of what they liked and disliked about the downtown. At a fol­ low-up meeting in the Henry Student Center on the Wilkes campus, archi­ tects and engineers helped those in attendance to visualize some of the possibilities that grew from the brain­ storming session. In December, more elaborate conceptual maps of a new downtown were presented at another public meeting. There is a new excite­ ment about die city’s future, and many are eager to get involved in the work ahead. The Urban Studies Center will thus begin its work at a critical moment in the history of Wilkes-Barre.

Spotlight: ALUMNI RELATIONS STAFF I I-------<1 ECENTLY, WE POLLED YOU ABOUT YOUR ALUMNI EXPERIENCES TO DETERMINE l—ZZ how you view your relationship with your alma mater. A statistically si Pl ■ > J nificant percentage of you responded to our survey To those who replied LA I thank you. Fully 90% of you view your student experiences as “very positive" or “positive ” Yet, when asked to rate your experiences as alumni, 48% reported the experience as ■ neutral." Despite record giving last year of S3.75 million, only 16% of you participat­ ed with an Annual Fund gift. Clearly, we have some work to do to improve our rela­ tionship with you. The most common interaction with alumni is this publication — 77% reported that primary' contact is through the Universe. The second most frequent interaction is the Annual Fund Phonathon. With respect to the Universe, you told us that you would like more information about classmates and friends, alumni events near your homes, academic programs, and changes in facilities at Wilkes University. Of less interest are trustee updates, major gift announcements, and athletic successes. Based on this information, we plan to form an alumni editorial board to advise us as we publish an even better WiDres Universe. You also request more alumni chapter activities and educational programs, and a significant percentage of you call for upgrades to our e-mail correspondence with you. The lessons learned from our polling data, combined with giving trends, alumni participation in Homecoming, and my travel to alumni events will result in signifi­ cant changes. Our new vice president for development. Marty Williams, will lead new pro­ grams such as the Wilkes University Mentoring Program. A Planned Giving pro­ gram will launch next year and the Wilkes Club will be greatly strengthened with new membership benefits. In developing these programs, we are keenly aware that our challenge is to make your alumni years compelling, rich, and stimulating. Wilkes will be a resource and a gratifying passion for alumni for a lifetime. This is our charge, and I U we intend to succeed.

Freshmen and sophomores will be able to tum to mentors for guidance when facing career-path decisions. Mentors can guide juniors and seniors through networking strategies and pin­ pointing potential job opportunities as their college time wraps up and they prepare to venture into the work force. According to Colleen Gries Gallagher ’81, member of die Alumni Association Board of Directors, the pro­ gram will facilitate the exchange of information, the development of pro­ fessional contacts, and the sharing of personal experiences and interests of its participants. Future plans for the program include: networking events, luncheon forums and alumni panel discussions. The pilot program will launch in spring 2005 as part of the Personal and Professional Development Program in thejay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership. University-wide imple­ mentation is slated for fall 2005. The Alumni Survey Says... ■As part of an image and branding study conducted by Carnegie Communications, Wilkes University and its Alumni Association asked alums to share their opinions and suggestions in February 2004. From the more than 25,000 alumni on record, 5,000 were randomly invited to participate in the survey. The results from the 566 respon­ dents were included in Carnegie’s report to the University, presented in August. 2 Some highlights: • 77% of die participants responded that they read Universe on a regular basis. • 94% of die respondents chose “I am thankful for the experience I had at Wilkes” as the reason for support­ ing the University financially. • 70% indicated they “definitely or probably would” recommend Wilkes to prospective students. Some suggestions for die Alumni Association: • Offer more online continued learn­ ing and professional development programs. • Establish alumni chapters. • Hold more family oriented gatherings. • Formalize a mentoring program. BUJC Alumnae Reunite In August, the BUJC ladies met for their annual luncheon in the Henry Student Center Ballroom. This year's luncheon was held in honor of Dr. Norma Sangiuliano Tyburski, who passed away on September 22,2003. Approximately twenty-five women gathered to reminisce about, and honor, our beloved “Sang}'.” Dr. Paul Adams 77, vice president for student affairs, also updated the women on the new and exciting changes taking place at the university.

Homecoming '04 at a glance Photos Dy Michael P Touey �on campus THE STRATEGIC PLAN CALLS FOR A NEARLY 10% INCREASE IN THE RETENTION RATE. Frosh fuel growth spurt BY KALEN CHURCHER '97 PrcrKbv ’. cke-s & =~cr rboracepry Freshman enrollment highest in 16-years as Wilkes reaches its 2010 goal. VEN BEFORE THEY RECEIVED their schedules, this years freshmen had already made their mark ImIH on Wilkes University. At 568, freshman enrollment is the highest the university has seen in 16 years. “This year, for the first time in at least anyone's mind around here, we closed applications in early May," said Michael Frantz, vice president for enrollment services. Typically, 10 to 20 percent of fresh­ man enrollment is gathered between May 1 and the start of classes, Frantz explained. But this year, procrastina­ tors lost big when Wilkes officially capped enrollment. Even transfer stu­ dent applications were closed the first week in June. With applications up 12 percent since last year, and 58 percent since 2000, there was no shortage of quality candidates, and quality is the key word. Consider this: the average Wilkes applicant scored 1065 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. That's nearly 40 points higher than the national average. Engineering, health sciences, busi­ ness, and nursing programs have wit­ nessed some of the largest enrollment spikes, with increases of 44,33,30, and 22 percent, respectively. Dr. Mary'Ann Merrigan, director of the university's department of nursing, attributes the programs success to a number of factors. For example, a national nursing shortage virtually guarantees each graduate a job, making the field very attractive. However, the individualized attention the university affords its students makes Wilkes very appealing to high school juniors and seniors. Even widi rising numbers that have forced the department to convert office space to laboratories, personalized atten­ tion and encouragement remain staples for Merrigan and her faculty' From nurs­ ing camps drat offer hands-on experi­ ences for high school juniors, to accelerated programs dial allow nurses to achieve dteir baccalaureate or masters degrees, Merrigan stresses die impor­ tance of becoming invested in all stu­ dents— potential, current, and former. “1 think we’ve found that students don’t really know what nursing is about," Merrigan explained. “They’re at these camps and ... they see the var­ ied opportunities that nurses have. “I believe the faculty and I are very responsive to these students. 1 tty to send a personal note to all the [high school] students." Despite enrollment increases, Sara Grab, a junior pre-pharmacy major, believes university professors strive to meet everyone’s needs. “They may have more classes to instruct, but they still find the time to help students with any problems or concerns. Even in large classes, my instructors know my name, which is something that I find to be important in a class." Frantz stresses that once students choose to attend Wilkes, the universi­ ty’s recruitment process does not stop. Instead, it transforms itself into a retention program that can often be as intricate as the recruitment process. Frantz credits Freshman Foundation courses with helping stu­ dents adapt to college living and learning. An aggressive maintenance program continues to upgrade com­ puter laboratories and other universi­ ty equipment, and expand university housing. Sturdevant Hall was partially con­ verted into student housing a few years ago. This year, residential space was added on River and Ross streets, including two new floors in Slocum Hall. The university has also estab­ lished housing agreements with two apartment facilities that sometimes place students and Wilkes-Barre’s sen­ ior citizen population as immediate neighbors — a situation Frantz says has been enlightening for both age groups and has fostered a great sense of community. As the university moves forward in its strategic plan, upping retention rates remains a priority. In 1999, the freshman-sophomore retention rate was 73 percent. This year, administra­ tors have set a lofty goal of more than 80 percent, one Frantz is confident can be achieved. “If retention is going up, I think it’s fair to say the students are satisfied with the services." Fulfilling promises made during recruitment is critical to maintaining a satisfied student body. Among those promises is the assurance that qualified professionals will instruct courses. Both Merrigan and Frantz tout the expertise of Wilkes’ full-time faculty and praise adjunct professors who have been rolled into the university system to ensure that class sizes remain small despite the increased student population. “In 2001, we set a goal to have an undergraduate enrollment of 2,200 I full-time students] by the end of 2010," Frantz said, adding that the goal has already been achieved. “Right now, we’re thrilled to death. Now the discus­ sion is, do we want to level off or do we want to continue to grow." As those discussions persist, Wilkes continues to ensure that students will receive the individualized attention and support necessary to successfully complete their educations.

MATT JONES �SFOR'spage True students of their games JOSH TUREL IS TWO-TIME ALL-FREEDOM CONFERENCE HONOREE AND SERVES AS A TEAM CAPTAIN FOR THE BASEBALL TEAM. BY MIKE FERLAZZO Frutos Cy Wsre? Ruda I NCAA Division III philosophy modeled at Wilkes ■ HE NCAA DIVISION III I membership recently I approved seven reforms to I have their school athletic programs better reflect the Division III philosophy, which places the highest priority on the overall quality of the educational experience and successful completion of all students' academic programs. That's no problem at Wilkes, where the school's academic and athletic programs work in harmony to make it a model Division III institution. Consider its "report card” over the last four years: • Wilkes is the only institution in the nation that has produced two Josten’s Trophy winners — award­ ed to the Division HI Player of the Year in basketball who best exem­ plifies the motto “Sen-ice Above Self. —DaveJannuzzi in 2001, and Whitney Bull in 2003. • Brett Trichilo was the 2003 recipi­ ent of the Melberger Award as 8 MADHAN SRINIVASAN 'OS IS A THREE-TIME FIRST-TEAM ALL-FREEDOM CONFERENCE SELECTION. 1 JAM NUNEMACHER WAS A FIRST-TEAM ALL-FREEDOM CONFERENCE SELECTION AS A CATCHER FOR THE SOFTBALL TEAM IN 2004. Division III football’s National Player of the Year. • The Middle Atlantic Corporation (MAC) has recognized a male and a female student-athlete from Wilkes as the Scholar-Athlete of the Year at the annual Sportsmanship Awards Luncheon. • 37 student-athletes named Academic All-American by national coaching associations, and six College Sports Information Directors of America, (CoSIDA) Academic AllAmericans. • 181 Wilkes student-athletes named to their various MAC All­ Academic teams. Community sendee also continues to grow among coaches and student­ athletes. “Our approach is that while we want to be very competitive on our fields and courts, our student-athletes are also very balanced in their educational experiences. We believe that’s been a key to our success in our graduation rate and student satisfaction." says Addy Malatesta, director of athletics and a former head field hockey coach. “Our student-athletes graduate feeling that they were not only successful in the win-loss column, but that they also contributed to the school and the com­ munity. Those are important values to us — and we don’t feel it’s made us any less competitive. Our message is that our student-athletes learn that they can have it all, and do it all.” That message helped attract athletes like three-time first-team All-Freedom Conference men's tennis player Madhan Srinivasan, who found that its not just a recruiting line. “It's real tough as an athlete who’s a science major with labs and work. They [labs) occur in the afternoon. But most of the professors are understand­ ing and allow you to sometimes make things up on Saturdays,” says the sen­ ior biology major and Wyoming Seminar)’ graduate, who has also served as Student Government Association treasurer. “They [some professors] come in on their free time to help you to make it up. One of the biggest things of coming to a small school is the one-to-one aspect [with faculty and staff| that you can’t get at bigger schools.” Junior Jan Nunemacher earned firstteam all-conference honors last year in softball as a utility’ player who played several positions — not surprising given the number of things she juggles off the field. Also a MAC All-Academic selection as an elementary education major with a minor in English, the Wyoming Valley West graduate has served as vice president of the Student Athletic Advisor)’ Committee ISAAC) and worked both on-campus and offcampus jobs. “I actually like the fact that I can play a college sport—and still have a life. 1 still go to school, can play softball, and still go out with my friends. Some of my [high school! friends play on the Division II level, but I’m happy where I am. I have the opportunity to get in other things here," says Nunemacher, who had enrolled at a Division 11 school, but changed her mind after meeting Wilkes Head Coach Frank Matthews. She reports that Matthews encourages players to miss practice for class con­ flicts, since he knows his players are ultimately here for the education. And the faculty are ultimately here for student-athletes like senior Josh Turel — a pharmacy major from Pittston Area who was a second-team all-conference baseball catcher last spring. “1 think it’s nice that I’m in a smaller class in the pharmacy program — something like 65 students. Each pro­ fessor pretty much knows you by name, and keeps track of you, and tells coach how you’re doing. You're not just a number — and that’s not just a cliche," says Turel, who also served on the SAAC and is doing an internship at nearby Konicki Pharmacy. That hasn't changed much since Hall of Famcr Brooke Yeager was a standout wrestler before graduating in 1965. Yeager placed second in the 123-pound weight class at the small college nation­ als his senior year, earning a berth in the NCAA Division 1 Championships. He learned a valuable lesson off the mats from that experience when Dr. Charles Reif made him complete a paper before he left for the match. While Yeager wasn't happy about hav­ ing to complete the assignment at the time, he claims it ended up being "the best advice” he could have gotten, since he was too tired upon his return. Now on the biolog)' faculty at Luzerne County Community College, he has advice for todays Wilkes stu­ dent-athletes. "I think the liberal arts schools — like those in Division lit •— give you the chance to experience some differ­ ent views on the world. They need to take advantage of those opportunities." says Yeager, who was also an assistant coach on Wilkes' national champi­ onship wrestling team and is a colle­ giate wrestling official. “I didn't like all those [liberal arts] courses I had to take, but some of those courses were probably much more meaningful than others. I had a great experience at Wilkes." And al Wilkes, athletics is all about the educational experience.^I 9 �Bom between 1982 and 2002, they follow in the footsteps of the Baby Boomers, the post-World War II generation of 75 million, and the smaller Generation X of 1962-19S2. Generation BY SAM ALCORN -jPQQpOQPQw< The GJ. Generation. The Silent Generation. Baby Boomers. Generation X. Every generation is branded. Demographers have named the latest brood, too. They're called the Baby Boom Echo, Generation Y, Generation Next, and, the name that seems most prevalent, the Millennials. The first Millennial wave is now on Americas college campuses and the oldest of them are just starting to enter the work force. Understanding them is important because they could change the face of higher education and die workplace. Who are they? One snapshot: “As a group, die Millennials are unlike any odier youths in living mem­ ory,” say Neil Howe and William Strauss, audiors of Millennials Go to College. “They are more numerous, more affluent, better educated, and more ethnically diverse.'1 Howe and Strauss say they share some key traits: • Sheltered — the product of sweep­ ing youdi protection • Confident — trusting and opti- mistic • Team oriented — strong team instinct and tight peer bonds • Conventional — pride in behavior and comfortable xsdtli parents' values • Pressured — pushed to study hard and excel • Achieving — possibly the besteducated generation in American history’ They are used to hovering “helicop­ ter” parents keeping tabs. They, with their parents, “co-purchase" their college educations. They care what parents think, and their parents want to be engaged in their lives — academ­ ics included. Raised as “special'' by doling par­ ents, this generation has been pro­ grammed to think it is special. Remcmber “Baby on Board" signs? They grew up more protected than any other generation. Their time, work, and play was structured, planned, and supervised. Slackers they aren’t. They're busy. Present at the commercial dawn of the Internet, they are wired and inspired by instant information access and the global reach of instant anywhere/anytime/anyhow communica­ tion. They eat technolog}: To the Millennials, the Kenned)’ assassinations, Watergate, and Vietnam are textbook history.

Record numbers want college educa­ tions and. among those, more college­ bound students are female. According to the US Census Bureau, an estimated 15.9 million were enrolled in U.S. col­ leges this fall, up 1.2 million from five years ago. Next year, there Arill be an estimated 16.7 million college students; by 2013, the number attending public and private schools of higher education will swell to 18.1 million, says the US National Center for Education Statistics. Translation: more competition for precious seats. Already, applications for admission to many schools, including Wilkes, are at record levels. At Wilkes, they increased 12 percent this past year alone. That minors an all-time high of more than 1.4 million high school stu- the average SAT score for the 568 fresh­ men starting this year — the largest class since 1988 — was 1065, nearly 40 points above the national average. Another characteristic: Todays stu­ dents are continuing a decade-long trend of record volunteerism. Wilkes’ students volunteered 29,000 hours of community sendee last year. And, says the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI), drinking, smoking, and partying are declining. Millennials, say Howe and Strauss, like rules. While demographers try to charac­ terize each generation with broad strokes of a brush, the Baby Boom Echo group can be resistant to stereo­ typing"They don’t like labels,” says Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall, professor and chair of communication studies at Wilkes. "They don't like labels. They'll talk back if you put one on them. And I like that about them. They are much feistier than the students of 10 years ago." ■ OR. JANE ELMES-CRAHALL, PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES 12 J. talk back if you put one on them. And I like that about them. They are much feistier than the students of 10 years ago.” What may be controversial for their parents, they can take for granted. As an example, Crahall notes a class on controlling spin in public relations and news in which 11 students joined an ongoing focus group for the Democratic National Convention. “When asked, ‘Should same-sex mar­ riage be a topic or legitimate issue in the campaign,' they said, ‘Absolutely not’ They were not of all the same political view, but they said, ‘That’s their business and [they] would vote against anyone who made that a presidential campaign issue.' They were adamant about it. They don’t see things as con­ troversial as their parents do,” says Crahall. “They say, ‘We’re past that’” After a long period of political apa­ thy by American youth, the Millennials are becoming politically active. HERI found that more than a third of last year’s freshmen felt that keeping up-to date with political affairs was a very important life goal. That was up from an alltime low of 28 per­ cent in 2000, and a f reversal of a threer decade trend of plummet­ ing political interest among freshmen. While that is a far cry from the 60-plus percent registered by 196b freshmen, Dr. J. Michael Lennon, professor of English and chair of the division of humanities at Wilkes, says this generation can’t help but be more politically aware. “What’s happened overseas since September 11th has made everyone more politically active. You can’t teach a course without September 11th or the war in Iraq coming up,” he says. “They have relatives in the service or relatives who died in the Twin Towers. They’re much more aware of the world around them.” But Dr. Brian Redmond, professor of geoenvironmental sciences at Wilkes, wonders why he isn’t seeing fire-in-thebelly passion for things like the envi­ ronment. “In the ’60s, people were very, very passionate about the environment. Up into the 70s, they were very worked up about it. Today, there seems to be less passion in the field. SAT data showing high school stu­ dent degree preferences illustrate the point. “Environmental science has practically dropped off the map. Fewer and fewer people consider something like that,” says Redmond. But he remains optimistic. “There are pendu­ lum effects. Things become popular, they fade, they come back again.” Many accounts suggest that this is a generation focused on work-world realities. A tough economy that’s pro­ ducing fewer jobs has dashed the one­ time notion ofjob entitlement. Yet they remain optimistic. They believe they have a good chance of achieving the same standard of living as their parents — if they arm themselves with new and varied work skills. “They are well aware the economic context is such that they may actually not be looking at a job at graduation,” says Crahall. As a result... “they’re working harder in different ways.” More than ever, students are empha­ sizing the value of practical hands-on experience in dieir fields. One exam­ ple: Zebra Communications, a student­ run public relations agency at Wilkes, provides professional services to area government, non-profits, and small businesses. “There is a work ethic, says Crahall. “What we say. and what employers and internship direc­ tors say about our students, is dieir work ethic is superior. They come in with skills, which I would expect from any student, but what they bring that they didn't expect was the initiative, the drive, and the ability to say, ‘I’ve finished; what can I do now?’ Our students know in this economy they better show a port­ folio of work that will make them look like they've had one or two years of full-time experience, or they’re not get­ ting a job.” Lennon agrees, saying one unique characteristic of this generation is agili­ ty — in terms of career planning and preparing for jobs that, in some cases, don't yet exist. “They understand that the world of work has changed markedly” says Lennon. “They have brothers and sisters and parents who have lost jobs, gained jobs, created new jobs. They are — as Americans have always been — mobile and flexible. But this generation is more so. They are more willing to travel, more willing to try7 new7 things, more willing to leam new7 skills, more willing to be involved in new kinds of professional positions than just a few years ago.” Gone are the day’s when a student wanted to be an accountant. Today; Lennon say’s they want to be account­ ants with minors in international affairs or Spanish, because they might be tiring overseas. “I have noticed an uptick in the number of students taking minors,” 13 �I. i, Ij H "What's happened overseas since September 11th has made everyone more politically active. You can't teach a course without September 11th or the war in Iraq coming up. They [students] have relatives in the service or relatives who died in the Twin Towers. They're much more aware of the world around them." DR. J. MICHAEL LENNON, PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH AND CHAIR OF THE DIVISION OF HUMANITIES says Lennon. “They want more than one arrow in their academic quivers these days. They're much more interest­ ed in double majors, or minors, or even two minors that can be a marketable asset in a dynamic and changing work­ place." And what a workplace it is. It can change in a blink Major corporations disappear—gobbled up by’ competition or failing on their own. Dot coms, they know, went dot gone. But new business and economic opportunities emerge at the same speed. “Where was Google three years ago? It was just one in a pack and now they’re one of die largest corporations in the world,” say’s Lennon. ‘‘Todays students are seeing history’ speed up. Things don’t remain in place as long as they did 10 or 15 years ago, when diere was a lot more stability. There was a time when you went to work for a firm; you could expect to stay’ the rest of your life. They’ don't have that expectation anymore.” But Redmond cautions that today’s students can, at times, be too focused on going through the — \ paces of getting a degree and subse- quent employment. “I tried this once. In the middle of an astronomy lecture, I made the com­ ment that the moon is made out of green cheese. So help me, half the class wrote it down,” he says. “There is an attitude on the part of some that, Tm in this class, I need to pass this class and I really don’t care what you say. I will write down what you say and I will parrot back whatever you want so 1 can pass this course and get a good grade,’ I try to discourage that.” Still, no generation is as technologi­ cally adept as this one. Not long ago, Wilkes and others provided students with e-mail, word processing, and spreadsheet training. No more. Schools now assume that today’s students are technologically mature about their electronic connection to the world. But that prowess challenges the nation’s schools to stay ahead of the technology' curve and, at the same time, meet the expectations of today's students, says Dr. Paul Adams 77, vice president for student affairs at Wilkes. “Students come to campus and expect to plug in their laptops.” Increasingly, students deem state-ofthe-art technology' infrastructure, around-dte-clock library' services, bet­ ter living space, more help at learning and writing centers, and counseling to help them cope with their busy’ lives as basic sendees. Prospective students look at campus amenities — like free laundry’ available at Wilkes — as fac­ tors in their application decision processes. As a result, “We are clearly providing more sendees today’ than we did 20 years ago,” says Adams. “We are con­ stantly raising the bar to be more attractive, and trying to add value and distinguish ourselves from the compe­ tition, while creating the best possible education environment for our young people.” One example: Students wanted a place to call their own and the 48.000square-foot Henry’ Student Center, built in 1999, quickly’ became the hub of student activity. It will soon undergo expansion to accommodate the need for additional dining and recreation space. Have instructors changed the way they teach? Yes and no. “Teaching hasn’t really’ changed since Socrates sat on one end of the log and a student sat on the other end. That’s still the ideal way to do things,” says Lennon. “We have learned to use tech­ nology’ as a useful supplement to teach­ ing. We can’t do without e-mail or web sites to post material. We can't do with­ out the technology7. But even as we developed plans for an online master’s degree, we insisted that students come to campus for two two-week periods, two years in a row, so we can see them face-to-face, press the flesh, socialize, break bread together, and get to know them. There is no substitute for pres­ ence.” Elmcs-Crahall thinks todays stu­ dents learn differently’. “They are far more visual. They grasp by pictures and icons. That is one of the ways they leam — through visual. Hence, the popularity of lecture by’ PowerPoint.” She, too, is seeing a comfort in group process. “What they’re doing in the classroom, including my own, is learning that teams and ensembles teach each other far more than a lot of traditional sources. They’ are comfort­ able and thrive in group process. But they’ inform themselves in a solitary’ way and far more through the Internet — and that can be problematic.” That, she says, can affect interper­ sonal communication. “Their formal mode of delivery’ is in writing. Formal writing and public speaking both continue to erode because Internet-speak is not what you need to succeed professionally or, I would suggest, even personally,” say’s Crahall. “You don’t leam listening skills on the Internet. You don’t leam how to edit on die Internet. You probably’ don’t leam plagiarism ethics on the Internet because they tend to see it as a grand public domain they own.” But Crahall says there is an advantage to working well in group process because the workplace is increasingly’ becoming group environment television crews. account teams. “Being comfortable in a group process is an essential skill. We're beginning to figure out as a culture that there is a lol to be said for getting along with groups and respect­ ing the diversity that comes with it This generation is further ahead in that regard than many’ realize.” As the data illustrate, more students than ever are going to college. “Students know one tiling — and this generation believes it more than any other — if you don't have a college education you will be relegated to loweaming wages the rest of yrour life. You’re going to be at the bottom of the economic chain,” says Lennon. Driving the point home: Over the course of an adults working life, high school graduates can expect, on aver­ age, to eam Si.2 million; those with bachelor’s degrees, $2.1 million; and people with masters degrees, S2.5 mil­ lion, according to the Census Bureau. �“The’90s were a cocoon.

And he asked me to meet with him to discuss a larger role for him in supporting Wilkes I approached our meeting with some modest ideas about how we could work together to improve our existing business program. But Jay had bigger plans. That's what 1 soon discovered about Jay: he is the consummate visionary He has a broader view of his company, he has a broader view of his industry'; he has a broad­ er sense of his purpose in life. During our meeting jay alluded to the fact that other universities had been courting him for help in developing post-baccalaureate business education pro­ grams. I was delighted to leam that Jays response to them was “if I'm going to do anything significant in this direction, I will be doing it for Wilkes University.” Jay went on to tell me that he hoped to make a “transformational” gift to Wilkes, one that would help us propel the University to greater prominence and influence in the regional, national and international education communities. In April 2003, he made good on that promise, committing with Sovereign Bank a total of S3 million to establish a new school of business. In recognition of the gift, the University’s Board of Trustees voted to name the new entity’ the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership. But the truly remarkable thing about Jay’s commitment to Wilkes is that it has gone way’ bey’ond his generous financial support. He has been wholly involved in the development of the School, offering resources from Sovereign Bank as well as his own ideas to create a distinctive program. The result will be an extraordinary business leadership curriculum that will be the best of its land in the nation.

WITH FRIENDS SHE MET ABROAD. STUDENTS ADMIRETHE GOTHIC BEAUTY OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL, ENGLAND. j Expanding their horizons BY MONICA CARDENAS '04 Learning overseas has proven to be an extremely powerful experience for many students atWilkes over the years, students who have visited Spain, Australia, England and Italy have had rich experiences that have shaped their future. 6 R. PAOLA BIANCO-SOBEJANO. V Wilkes Study Abroad I J Advisor, notes that each year, approximately 15 stu­ dents spend either a semester, a sum­ mer or a month abroad. “The courses are not always related to the student's particular field, but the experience is valuable,” she says. “The culture, lifestyle and mentality leach us about ourselves, and how Americans are per­ ceived.” She stresses that students must be immersed in a culture for a period of time to gain the full value of a study abroad program. In one Wilkes study abroad pro­ gram, students can earn six credits in Spain, with four days in Paris, France. Including airfare and meals, the cost is only S3,195. As Bianco points out, some programs abroad are even less expensive than American courses. There are also other options. This year, as part of a combined undergrad- uate and graduate business course, 47 students loured Europe in a week’s time. ‘‘With the undergraduate course, the purpose is to create a learning experi­ ence to facilitate the student under­ standing of the international business environment. We examined dynamic environmental influences on interna­ tional consumers, markets, and economies," said Dr. Wagiha Taylor, Professor of International Business and Economics. The graduate experience is much more intense. “The purpose of the graduate course was to create a global learning experience using Western Europe as a medium to facilitate the student understanding the global busi­ ness environment,” adds Taylor. “Presentations, discussions, travel, observations, and projects provided the opportunity to demonstrate the stu­ dents knowledge.” The itinerary for this course was extensive. Students visited Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy with stays in cities such as Frankfurt, Rothenburg, Munich, Venice and Verona. Upon return to the United States, students prepared presentations based on their experiences. According to Taylor, “learning is most effective when students are actively involved and responsible for the experience." And that experience has proven invaluable. The only complaint BiancoSobejano can remember hearing is, “I wish I could have stayed longer.” Il I "The courses are not always related to the student's particular field, but the experience is valuable.The culture, lifestyle and mentality teach us about ourselves, and how Americans are perceived?' DR. PAOLA BIANCO-SOBEJANO 7 �oNcampus oNcampus Students give of themselves DURING AN ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK TRIPTO MIAMI, FLORIDA, WILKES STUDENTS PAIRED UP WITH LITTLE FRIENDS OFTHE ELDERLY, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS RELIEVE ISOLATION AND LONELINESS AMONG THE ELDERLY. EIGHT STUDENTS VOLUNTEERED AT A SENIOR CENTER, DELIVERED MEALS AND VISITED HOMEBOUND SENIORS. % % t OLUNTEER SERVICETOTHE t community has always been part of the Wilkes culture. ww This year, Wilkes students strengthened that commitment through senice in the classroom and programs such as REACH, and VITA. According to Gail Minichiello, Wilkes’ Coordinator of Community Senice, “students gain practical experience while helping and meeting people. Because many students are not from the area, service offers them a way to know the community and connect with them.” While most opportunities to volun­ teer occur outside the classroom, there are times when senice is integrated into a course, as in Dr. Michelle Anthony’s Composition 101 class. Anthony, an assistant professor of English, said, “students have to donate their time to at least three different charitable organizations a minimum of 8 six times, for a total of 18 hours during the semester. They may work any­ where that serves the homeless in some way—soup kitchens, shelters, even local animal shelters. “After each volunteer experience, stu­ dents must write a one-page response to their time with the population, record­ ing their thoughts and reactions to the part that stood out most for diem.” Why make sendee a component of the classroom? Anthony believes it helps increase reliability in students’ writing, and teaches everyone some­ thing. “My courses tend toward the civic-minded anyway, and it was get­ ting so that I was constantly gearing discussion toward the disenfranchised of America. So I thought—isn’t this hypocritical? We can talk in the class­ room about issues, but we can’t really know until we are in situations our­ selves.” The class of 21 students was slightly <" ’ ’ resistant at first, but they arc begin­ ning to appreciate the value of the experience,” says Anthony. “It's a joy to read students’ response papers as they open up to new experiences with unfamiliar populations.” Minichiello points out that there are two groups on campus dedicated to serving the community. The Student Community Service Council and Circle K, the college organization of Kiwanis, actively look for opportunities to help in the community, including spending lime with the elderly or helping under­ privileged children with homework at Head Start or McGlynn Learning Center. However, Minichiello adds that there are many other groups on campus that make volunteerism part of their mis­ sion and help with Red Cross blood drives, St. Vincent DePaul kitchen and food drives, among many others. Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) is heavily involved with die REACH program.The group meets with families monthly for dinner, followed by a counseling session in finance. Odier volunteers play with the children, help with homework, and engage in other learning activities. This year, the University hosted two alternative spring break trips. The first was to Miami, Florida, where volun­ teers worked in a senior center and vis­ ited homebound senior citizens. The second trip was to Brazil, where volun­ teers worked with children and helped with construction. Another way Wilkes serves the sur- rounding community while students gain practical experience is through VITA. This 20-year-old program, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, allows junior accounting majors to put their knowledge to the test while help­ ing those who cannot afford an accountant. Cynthia Chisarick, C.PA. an associ­ ate professor of accounting and busi­ ness administration, serves as faculty coordinator for the program, which is offered in conjunction with the IRS and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. Not all volunteerism on campus is directed through the University. Kristopher Fayock ’04 has been a Big Brother for almost three years. “I first got the idea to join Big Brothers/Big Sisters from the encour­ agement of my high school biology teacher. I wasn't able to join during high school, but once 1 got to Wilkes, I was able to." said Fayock. Because of his dedication to his “lit­ tle brother” and many other volunteer activities, Fayock earned the John J. Chwalek Scholarship, which is given to an “outstanding individual with a strong academic record who has been involved in student life, has provided leadership on campus and in the com­ munity, motivated others and exhibits the potential for success." But with busy academic and extra­ curricular schedules, how do students find time and motivation to help others? According to Fayock, “I volunteer because 1 enjoy helping others. I am fortunate with what my family has been able to provide for me, so I try to help others that may be less fortunate. 1 enjoy the feeling that 1 might be mak­ ing a difference in someone’s life." I■ I Urban Center names director T« GRANTON NATIVETERI OOMS has been named executive m director of the new Joint Urban Studies Center. The Center is a collaborative endeavor sup­ ported by the area’s five colleges and universities: College Misericordia, King’s College, Luzerne County Community College, Penn State Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes University. Ooms returns to Northeastern Pennsylvania from Riverside, California, where for six years she served as executive director of the Inland Empire Economic Partnership and the Inland Empire Tourism Council. She has also served as its pres­ ident and chief executive officer since 1997. Ooms managed the organiza­ tion’s eight operating divisions and multiple contracts and grants. As executive director, Ooms will work with government officials, com- munity members and economic devel­ opment partners to conduct research and develop inclusive plans that lead to smart economic growth. In addition, she wall design leadership development and community sendee opportunities for students from each of the partner institutions. The Center is funded by more than $1 million in contributions from the colleges, local businesses, foundations, community leaders and civic organiza­ tions, including a $300,000 challenge grant from Wilkes alumnus and University trustee William P. Montague ’68. Ooms, whose husband, Phil and sons Timothy and Douglas wall accom­ pany her back to the region, said, “1 am delighted to be coming home and to be able to make a contribution to the future of Northeastern Pennsylvania. This is truly such a special place, and I know that working together, we can create opportunities so that my sons will want to stay here when they're grown.” The Center opened March 20. Wilkes University will manage the Center and serve as a temporary location until per­ manent office space can be established in downtown Wilkes-Barre.

Sidhu School of Business and 1 i-adersh.jp. To top it off. she has a resume crammed with experi- With all those accomplishments, vou might think senior Emily Gabardi has earned the right to brag. But Emily prefers to credit those around her. "In my time atWilkes, I have learned to surround myself with great people, because the people you're sur­ rounded by have a great impact on you." said the business administra­ tion major. A May 2004 graduate, Gabardi says she will miss Wilkes in more ways than one. "My academic advisor, Dr. Alves, has been with me since freshman year, assuring me I can do anything I put my mind to. Dr. Alves and many others 10 have helped me become the person 1 am today." Gabardi has tried almost everything in her field. As an admissions telecoun­ selor for Wilkes, she honed her persua­ sive speaking abilities, and later put them to the test when she successfully solicited a grant in support of REACH, a local community service program that provides help for low-income families. She has immersed herself in business in every way possible, including working nearly 20 hours a week at the University's Small Business Development Center. And before all this, she marketed various newsletters to senior business executives as pan of the College Internship Program. Then there is her work for Golden Technologies in Old Forge, Pa. Gabardi designed and executed a quality assur­ ance survey for the company’s top 1,000 customers, compiling the data and ulti­ mately presenting the results to compa­ ny representatives. But Gabardi cites her internship at Anhur J. Gallagher & Company in Wayne. N.J. as the most influenual. She prepared proposals, gadrered data, accompanied producers on sales calls, interacted with clients, negotiated with underwriters and participated in depart­ mental meetings and brainstorming sessions. Gabardi says that all intern­ ships provide valuable experience, but this one allowed her to use her skills as part of a group of students from around the country. “My internship with Gallagher was an eye-opener for me," said Gabardi. I was among students from a select group of colleges and represented one of the few small, private universities. Yet I felt I knew the same if not more than the others.” It may be obvious that Gabardi is a champion of her alma mater, but the new Sidhu School of Business and Leadership certainly adds to her attrac­ tion. In fact, at the unveiling of the new School, Gabardi admitted a small desire to do it all over again. “My favorite part of die business division at Wilkes is the fact that I can interact with faculty and fellow class­ mates. What is wonderful about the new school is dial this interaction will be taken to an even greater level.” Nonetheless, Gabardi is ready to enter the business world. “In the end, Wilkes University has helped me believe in myself. The classes, the experiences, the opportunities, and the people have been second to none. I’ve certainly exceeded my goals. Wilkes has enabled me to become an independent person who is not afraid to think ‘outside the box.’ I will enter the ‘real-world’ with con­ fidence knowing I’ve received and experienced nothing but the best from Wilkes University.” I*I light ��covERStory Sidhu was soon privy to high level dealings of the banking industry, attend­ ing bound meetings and sitting in on mcigcr and acquisition talks. Withinfour years, he was named lice President of Corporate Strategy. He was just 25. Today, Sidhu is President, CEO and Chainnan of Reading-based Sovereign Bank and Sovereign Bankcorp. Under his leadership, the bank has experienced remarkable success, growing through sev­ eral smart acquisitions in the northeast­ ern U.S. into a S-iO billionfinancial institution positioned as the third largest bank headquartered in Pennsy lvania and the thiid largest in New England. Those who knew Sidhu while he was a student at Wilkes are not surprised by his extraordinary success. He was “studious, serious and thorough,” says President Emeritus Robert Capin, who taught Sidhu managerial accounting. “He w as eager to advance as quickly as possible, ” he says, adding that Sidhu neverforgot the people at Wilkes who helped him get where he is. “I saw him at an event recently,” recalled Capin, “and it was as if we had never lost touch through all theses ears. Relationships are obviously very important to him.” Sidhu demonstrates that commitment through his senice on the University’s board of trustees. He has been a trustee since 1996, and now serves as chainnan of the University 's audit committee. He also has been an extremely generous financial supporter. Last year, he pledged 51 -5 million to expand and reshape the University's business program, and added a matching $1.5 million from Sovereign Bank to create an executive education program. Taken together, the gift is the largest from an alumnus in the universi­ ty's 70-year history. In recognition of his generosity and his 14 covERStory accomplishments in business and leader­ ship, the Wilkes board of tnistees has named the new program theJay Sidhu School of Business and Leadership. The schools emphasis on leadership directly emanates from Sidhu's vision of what leaders can be. He champions a value-based approach known as “authen­ tic leadership,” which is founded on prin­ ciples of emotional intelligence: truthfulness, an absence of defensiveness and sincere empathy. Those qualities, combined with an intense personal drive that is channeled into professional accomplishment, are more important to leadership than IQ, Sidhu believes. In February, Willies University Director of Marketing Communications, Vaughn Shinkus visited with Sidhu in his Wy omissing home to leant more about the leadership vision that will characterize Sidhu School graduates. Sidhus wife, Sherry, offered an additional perspective on thefamily life of a hard-charging leaderJay and Sherry have two children: Sammy, an MBA student in the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and Luvleen, who will begin classes at either Yale or Harvard this Fall. The Sidhus’ humility is evident as they talk about their accomplishments and the factors that motivate them to give bach to society. “Its awkward to see how much attention people are paying to our contri­ bution, ” said Jay. “We see it as our duty. ” The interview began with further dis­ cussion of the gift. WILKES UNIVERSE: Why choose to make such a substantial gift to Wilkes University? jay sidhu: Its obvious that Wilkes and I have a special connection. Wilkes did so much for me and gave me the opportunity to be where I am today. Also, I think you want to make an investment where you can have the greatest impact. There is compatibility in our approach on what it takes to suc­ ceed. Our vision is that its not just devel­ opment of intellectual curiosity that matters, its development of the whole individual, through emotional intelli­ gence, intellectual skills, and passion. wu: Do you agree that leadership is somethingyou are bom with, or can it be cultivated? JS: The kinds of experiences you have in life from your childhood have a significant impact on your overall emo­ tional security. That’s why some people say that leadership is inborn. But it’s experience in life that helps you under­ stand yourself and helps you see your strengths, your weaknesses, helps you develop confidence, helps you develop your ability to have relationships with other people, helps you understand how you are perceived and how the moods of other people can have an impact. All these qualities put together is what gives you the edge. WU: Is that the essence ofAuthentic Leadership? js: That is correct. Its something one is usually not bom with-—it needs to be taught. What we are trying to do (in establishing the Sidhu School) is to cre­ ate an atmosphere where students will develop self-awareness, self-confi­ dence, relationship-building skills. The bottom line is, we ought to help them become more well-rounded individuals so that they can tackle any kind of problem in any kind of situation. wu: How will Wilkes know if we are being successful? Js: 1 think that in five to ten years when our graduates are out of school and they come back and say Wilkes made a difference in my life,’ we’ll know we’re successful. We re not just talking about giving them the skills to help them get their first job. wu: That's a long-term measure for someone who’s as driven for results as you are. JS: Well, success in business culture is not just quarter-to-quarter earnings. Its trying to build a company where mutual trust and respect truly prevail; a culture where key members see it as one of the best places to work. These are all long-term goals. But, of course, you can only have long-term success if you also perform well in the short term. wu: Given that you're so driven, how do you keep your life in balance? JS: My philosophy’ is that you are never truly in balance—you're always adjusting to improve the quality of your life. Balance is more of a state of mind. It is very hard to try to balance your business life and your home life, for example. But the truth is, I just can't see how people can succeed without having a great partner. That’s why 1 give credit to Sherry’ in helping to truly balance our priorities, helping raise healthy children, helping to keep me, sort of, in check. wu: Sheny, is that how y ou see your role in this partnership? sherry sidhu: It does balance it out because he is driven to do his best at his work and 1 am driven to do my best at home. Because he’s so energetic, there's no such dung as sitting back and relaxing. So rite children can relax with me and they can be on the go with him. (laughs) wu: Do you see these same qualities in Sammy and Luvleen? ss: Yes, they are both also great achievers. wu: That must bringyou tremendous satisfaction. js: Yes, no question. Sammy is—for­ tunately—much more mature than I was at his age. They are both self-aware and goal-driven, and it is wonderful when others say’ how well they handle themselves. True success for both of us is really to see how developed emotion­ ally and spiritually they are. Thats the ultimate success for any parent. wu: You yourself achieved tremendous success at a very young age. What allowed you to make such rapid progress? js: A couple of things. One is that you never look at a challenge as how difficult it is. If there is a w'ay it can be done, find a way to do it. Another is that you should always try7 to go beyond what is expected of you. Also, you should always try to do the best with the job that is in front of you. rather than thinking about what you would be doing if you had your boss's job. I see so many young people make fatal mistakes because they are worrving about those one or two opportuni­ ties ahead of them. They put all their energy into why they cant get it done because of 'so and so.' You will con­ stantly have challenges in life, but you have to look at life as an opportunitv to excel and meet those challenges and consider them learning experiences. That is what builds self-satisfaction and self-confidence. .And self confidence is so critical—self confidence balanced with humility. wu: What would v cur advice be to someone who is about to graduate front a bachelor s degree program and strike out on their own' 1S �covERStory js: First of all, it’s a great pan of your life that you should enjoy. Don’t forget to do that. But a couple of otlier things, too. One is have a vision, have a dream of what you want to be, what you would like to achieve in life. Second, try always to look at any­ thing and everything you are doing and the challenges that you have as an opportunity. Finally, I would say try your best to have mentors. Success in business especially comes from your pushing yourself while somebody is pulling you. All successful leaders are looking for others who can succeed with them. wu: How much of the way you live and the way you nin the business reflects your spirituality? JS: There is no question about it. We were both brought up in disciplined environments, and we were botli brought up whereby we were driven to excel in anything and everything we strived to do. At the same time we were encouraged to be learners and to be respectful of other people. At Sovereign, our belief is that it is absolutely essential and critical to have mutual trust and respect, it is absolute­ ly essential and critical to follow up on what you say, it is absolutely essential and critical to have open and honest communication, it is absolutely critical to be aware of our strengths as well as our weaknesses and to be able to talk as freely about our weaknesses as we can about our strengths. Because that is the only way you have continuous improvement. Everyone has weakness­ es. But we are striving to have a culture where we talk about our screw-ups with equal enthusiasm as we talk about our achievements. wu.- How have corporate governance 16 covERStory 1M scandals impacted the way you do business? js-. The problems that have emerged in the corporate world are out of arro­ gance, out of lack of self-awareness. Where communication systems are not open and honest. Where authentic leadership doesn’t exist. Where truth­ fulness is not encouraged at all. That creates an environment where you are significantly exposed to risk. Nobody is intentionally dishonest, they just justify their activities as being above anybody’s ability’ to catch them. That’s what I mean when I say they are not as self-aware.To me integrity and honesty are the result of your being self-aware about your principles and beliefs. It’s not something that you can just leant from a textbook. wu: Much has been made about the possibility of acquisition of Sovereign; What are the things that you would need to evaluate if that became a possibility? js: I think you need to look at what is in the best interest of all stakeholders in the shon-term and long-term. In a free enterprise system you have to earn the right to remain an independent company. Companies that are built to last are those that have a culture that goes beyond the individuals in the company. They have a culture of con­ tinuous improvement. So, if truly we believe that it is better for us to be aligned with someone else because it adds to our strengths and overcomes our weaknesses, it makes sense. But at the same time, our principle is to look at both the long term and short term. I hope we can create a company in Sovereign that can be built to last. Where leadership truly becomes a sus­ tainable competitive advantage, and can be one of the best companies to work for. We know we are no way there—we see ourselves as a good company but not a great company yet. wu: What can students at Wilkes leant from the Sidhu story? ss: I can only say from my experience of bringing up my children. Not every­ one comes from a background of con­ venience and comfort. Sometimes motivation comes from the lack of something. You need motivation to change things, to do things. A lot of that is evident in Jay’s background, because he did not come from a background of extreme luxury. That gave him the will—the determination—to change tilings. You really do need to work very hard in life to achieve anything. JS: The traits of an emotionally and spiritually healthy individual are the same traits of an emotionally and spiri­ tually healthy organization. And spiri­ tuality is not only a way of getting success but also developing humility, a concern for others, a love, universal principles that makes you authentic. And that’s why we consider it to be an important pan of personal and profes­ sional goals. Ill The Sidhu School difference: Personal development BY MONICA CARDENAS ’04 \\ //\\ B henthe new jays. \\// Bus*ness and ■F W& Leadership was announced in April 2003, it promised to bring great advancements to the business curriculum. Since tlien, Wilkes’ business faculty have been reshaping the curriculum to enhance the Wilkes Business student’s experi­ ence and create graduates who are ready for anything. According to Business professor Dr. Anne Heineman Batory; “the biggest, most important change is the emphasis on leadership and on helping our stu­ dents to identify their strengths and nurture them through their four years.” This will be accomplished through the new Personal and Professional Development series (PPD). “It is the glue that holds the whole program together. It helps students understand their skills and strengths,” said Dr. Jeffery7 Alves, The Allan R Kirby; Jr. Professor of Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. The seven one-credit courses will be spread over students’ four years along with die general education courses. The difference lies in the fact that in previ­ ous years the general courses were completed in the first two years and die major courses in the last two. With this change, the new curriculum aims to make students more comfortable with continuous exposure to the different aspects of their education, including the liberal arts, sciences and business. Batory admits that the series is “a lot of w'ork on the pan of the student, but it is combined with the rest of the University curriculum—including developing writ­ ing, speaking, analytical skills.” The PPD series and general courses have been “bookended” with the fresh­ men experience and senior internship and capstone, said Alves. The freshmen year begins with an integrated manage­ ment experience in which students develop, finance and run a business over the course of a year with help from courses on entrepreneurship and accounting. The senior year internship has been combined with die capstone, while in the past the two have remained separate. According to Alves, “the first two years are awareness building, and by the end of the sophomore year, a learn­ ing plan is developed. The second two years build on the last two and look beyond college seriously. Students meet business leaders, managers and entrepreneurs and learn what’s really out there. They map out the next five to ten years of their lives.” Alves adds that adaptability to differ­ ent environments and an appreciation for diversity is also imperative. “Graduates will stand out if they’re comfortable in a multicultural environment.” An objective of the new cur­ riculum is to “increase international exposure, preferably with a semester abroad, or internship at a multi-nation­ al company,” said Alves. Perhaps one of the most important changes will be the emphasis on emo­ tional intelligence, a ver}' important attribute in a business professional. Simply stated, emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage emotion. Alves explains that an emo­ tionally intelligent person is aware of his own emotions and how they affect others, and also how others’ emotions affect him. “To me, emotional intelligence is being wadi the person you’re interact­ ing with. You need to understand the person so you can both benefit. You interpret emotion and then help them. You also need to identify your own feelings,” said Batory. The ultimate goal, of course, is to create graduates who are desirable to businesses today. According to Bator); “from my experience, professional businesses want a self-initiator, some­ one who is creative and innovative, learns and challenges.” With an emphasis on emotional intelligence, diversity and creativity the Sidhu School aims to do just that. l» I Freshman Experience PPD & General Education Senior Capstone/lnternship B W B Sidhu School of 17 �spoRTspage BY KYLA CAMPBELL 03 ‘l\\ //I I ANY DREAM OFWORKING ■ W 11 t ■ in the sports industry. ■ Il is not too often that ■ wF ■ the dream becomes a reality; but for five Wilkes graduates, it has. Eddie While ’80, Will Taylor 00. Matt Reitnour 01, David DiManino ’01, M’03, and Michael DaRe ’03 have all found success after studying Communications and graduating from Wilkes University. Though they have similar academic backgrounds, these five men are involved in very different aspects of the spons industry. White is the Vice-President of Team Properties and Sports Marketing for Reebok. He was the Director of Public Relations for Logo Athletic, a sports apparel company in Indianapolis, from 1989-2001. In 2001, Reebok purchased Logo Athletics, and White has remained with the company. He focuses on marketing and works with every NFL and NBA team. White found immediate success following his graduation from Wilkes in 1980. He was the Assistant Sports Information Director at Notre Dame from 1982-1986. White left the Fighting Irish to accept the position of Director of Public Relations for the Miami Dolphins from 1986-1989 before heading to Logo Athletics. “Wilkes gave me so many opportu­ nities, and Hl never forget dial,” said White, who received the Farley award in 2001. “I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work on numerous levels of sports, and I’m able to do this as a result of Wilkes leaching me how to do a lol of things at the same time.'1 After walking around the Wilkes campus for four years with a camera seemingly attached to his shoulder, Taylor, a 2000 graduate, went on to work for NBA Entertainment as an edi­ tor and cameraman. As a high defini­ tion cameraman, Taylor has found himself filming both NBA and WNBA games, interviewing players and coach­ es, and covering press conferences in the New York/New Jersey area. Occasionally, he docs field shots for Inside Stuff, NBAAVNBA Action, and NBA TV. Taylors footage has aired nationally on NBC, ESPN, and NBA TV. He edits similar material for national broadcasts, including bumpers and teasers for various programs. In addition, Taylor works for Ferro Productions, the main production company for the New York Giants. “Working for the Giants is great because you’re a part of the team,” he said. “The best part about it for me is that I grew up a huge Giants fan, so this is like living a dream.” The Giants produce two television shows that air on New York’s MSG and FOX stations ever}' Sunday, and Taylor works on the studio crew as a camera operator. According to Taylor, the best experi­ ence of his early career was when he covered Michael Jordan returning to the NBA in a 2001 game against the New York Knicks. Graduating from Wilkes just one year after Taylor, Reitnour made his new home in Buffalo, NY working for Division 1 Canisius College. Serving as the Athletic Communications Assistant for the Canisius Griffins sports teams, he is the media contact for Griffins vol­ leyball, women’s basketball, softball, and men’s and womens cross-country teams. When Canisius hosted the first and second round of the NCAA men’s bas­ ketball tournament in March, Reitnour helped with media relations for the event. Last year, he was on the statisti­ cal crew for the NCAA Frozen Four, the D-I mens ice hockey champi­ onships. In 2003, he worked with S}Tacuse basketball at the NCAA East Regional Championships, which they won to advance to the final four. Reitnour earned his position after working in the Athletic Communications office at Canisius as a graduate assis­ tant for two years while earning his MS in Sports Administration. While Reitnour has found his niche at the collegiate level, his Wilkes class­ mate, DiManino, has found his with a professional sports team. DiMartino not only earned his undergraduate degree at Wilkes, but he also received his MBA while working as a graduate assistant in the University’s Sports Information Office. His work with the Colonels made for a smooth transition into working with the New York Jets. DiMartino served on the game day staff for the Jets during the 2003-2004 season, and he has been invited to return this fall to be a part of the statis­ tics and media relations crew. His game management experience provided him with the opportunity to meet every member of the Jets team and their coaching staff. DaRe, like White, has found his call­ ing in spons marketing. The 2003 Wilkes graduate has already found suc­ cess at a marketing firm, Alan Taylor Communications, located in down­ town Manhattan. Working as an Assistant Account Executive, DaRe is heavily involved in media relations and is currently work­ ing with seven different clients. Two of his clients are Diageo North America, the largest producer of alcohol in the world, and the U.S. Track and Field Team. DaRe has had the opportunity to meet several famous people and ath­ letes, including Marcus Allen, Franco Harris, Troy Aikman, and Terrell Davis, all of whom he worked with at the Superbow’l on February 1st. Although these graduates are work­ ing in very different areas of the sports industry, they each credit the education and experience they received at Wilkes for preparing them for a successful future. “With Wilkes being a smaller school, I was able to get quality, hands-on experience from day one. I was able to take part in more events as an undergraduate than most people get as a post-graduate intern,” said Reitnour. “The environment at Wilkes was a perfect setting for me to move toward my goal of working in the media relations field at the Division I or professional level.” li I 18 19 �sporlight sporlight The Max Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities: Monuments of Unaging Intellect Rosenn Lectures have included: tnthony Lewis ' ■ ■ ■ Edwin Newman.

Journalist and Foreign Affairs This is the second in a series offeatures that highlights gifts that have made lasting contributions to our academic and community life. I HE UNITED STATES H Courdiouse on die comer of ■ West South and South Main LI Streets in Wilkes-Barre is a mas­ sively impressive tribute to the Honorable Max Rosenn, SeniorJudge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in whose honor it is named. The grand facade that domi­ nates the busy streets below and the ele­ gantly austere interior, in which Judge Rosenns chambers and extensive library’ bespeak his devotion to the law, are fit­ ting reminders of the many contribu­ tions the Judge has made to his profession and to the community in which he and his late wife, Tillie, have lived virtually all of their lives. The Judges delight in a very' different kind of tribute, however, was obvious as he recently’ recalled with pleasure the establishment and history of the Max Rosenn Lectures in Law and Humanities, the series that has brought the University and the community a host of distinguished speakers on topics of both contemporary impor­ tance and enduring value. The lecture series was established in 1980 through an endowment by the Judges former law clerks, family members, partners in his former law firm of Rosenn, Jenkins, and Greenwald, and friends to mark the tenth anniver­ sary of his sendee on the appellate court. Former President Robert S. Capin recalls the carefully kept secret planning that led to the surprise announcement of the gift to be administered by Wilkes: “1 don’t remember ever before seeing Max Rosenn wanting for words, but he was speechless when Joe Savitz (a partner in his law firm and Wilkes trustee), Harold Rosenn (the Judge’s brother), and about 25 to 30 of his former law clerks and their spouses gathered at the President’s house to present this token of their esteem and affection.” Judge Rosenn confirmed his utter sur­ prise and adds “nothing could have pleased me more” than this gift, which “has given me a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction and has become a great treasure for the University and the com­ munity” Since the initial gift, the endow- 23rd Annual Rosenn Lecture Held on April 25 Expert; Robin Wright. Journalist and Foreign Affairs Expert ment has I1 grown over the years through the continuing generosity of more than 70 for­ mer clerks, family, and friends who regard die lectures as a fitting way to honor the Judge and convey their love and respect for him. Judge Rosenn believes the series has attracted “some of die finest lecturers and outstanding perj sonalities in the country” A largely because of the network of friends, colleagues, and family that he and people at Wilkes have connected with to make the lecture an annual event that fills the Dane Center for Performing Arts. Supreme Coun Justice John Paul Stevens and ChiefJudge Emeritus A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr., of the U5 Coun of Appeals for the Third Circuit came as personal fnends and col­ leagues ofJudge Rosenn. Henry’ Steele Commager, distinguished historian and pro­ fessor of history’ al Amherst College, was a former teacher io Keith Rosenn, the Judges son. His other son. Dr. Daniel W. Rosenn. provided the connection that attracted Dr. T. Berry' Brazleton, one of the nations foremost pediatricians. Judge Rosenn notes that former President Christopher N. Breiscth, who called the Rosenn lecture “the highlight of our academic year at Wilkes University.” made connections with Senator Paul Simon of Illinois and presidential biographer Dons Kearns Goodwin, w'ho lectured at Wilkes days before she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Dr. J Michael Lennon, former Vice-President for Academic Affairs, was responsible for attracting Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Norman Mailer. In recent years. President Joseph (Tim) Gilmour has helped to bring scholars and journalists spe­ cializing in current foreign affairs to appreciative audiences. Representative Paul J. Kanjorski aptly stated at the rededication of the Max Rosenn Courthouse that “It is eminently appropriate that this community asset is named after Judge Rosenn, a man who has enriched our community with his time, energy, intellect, and love.” The courthouse indeed stands as a monument to Judge Rosenns many’ accomplishments and contributions. Yet as the poet William Buller Yeats WTote in “Sailing io Byzantium,” the pursuit of wisdom leads us to seek “monuments of unaging intellect” that endure when even die most solid of physical monuments crumble. Such unaging monuments remind us of values that transcend our limited lime and place in the world.. And certainly the Rosenn Lecture, by bringing us speakers whose wisdom on subjects ranging from history; politics, law. literature, economics, international relations, and civil rights to nurturing our chil­ dren, continues to build a lasting monument tojudge Max Rosenns devotion to the values represented by law and the humanities. J Yale Law School professor Amy Chua presented this year's Rosenn Lecture on Sunday, April 25. She discussed her best­ selling book “World On Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability," which explores the implica­ tions of exporting western-style democ­ racy and free market economics to areas where ethnic minorities have major con­ trol over wealth, production, and trade. This occurs while ethnic majorities, if employed at all, work for low wages in poor conditions with little hope of escap­ ing morally and physically debilitating poverty, she said. Chua's thesis is based in part on the personal experience of her family, who were part of the small, very wealthy entre­ preneurial Chinese minority that has dominated and controlled the economy of the Philippines since it achieved inde­ pendence from the United States in 1946, inciting resentment and violence from the overwhelmingly Filipino majority. 20 21 �CLASsnotes 1968 1971 Verizon in Wilkes-Barre.

I have finally I I comprehended why I am always in such a state of stress. It is not the sorry condition of the world, die insanity of terrorism, the roller coaster economy, or even die knowledge dial we are all terminal. Rather, the causes for my constant anx­ iety are the small things that people do and say that irritate me. To begin with. I seem always to be surrounded by strangers who invade my personal space — they walk too slowly (at approximately the speed of drifting continents), brush up against me, and befoul my air with cigarette smoke and an assortment of offensive odors. When they speak with me, they mumble unintelligibly or provide painfully lengthy responses to the question “How are you?” They remark on the weather, provide commentary on the latest high school sporting events, and analyze the condition of the economy. Then there are the “superlative people” - those whose children are the brightest, whose auto­ mobiles are the fastest, whose homes are the largest, or whose number of influential acquaintances are the garni est. And let us not forget the gum snappers, the whistlers, the hummers, die singers, and, of course, the loose change rattlers. In office buildings, they press the “up” or “down” elevator button even though diese are already in a patently lit mode (they should certainly observe me impatiently awaiting the car's arrival). In retail stores, they stop sud­ denly and without warning at the tops and bottoms of escalators. They are forever seeking the exact item for which 1 am shopping. At cocktail parties, they congregate by the door so that I am unable to pass, idly chitchat at the food table (usually positioning themselves directly in front of the shrimp offerings), deposit their half empty glasses near the food plat­ ters, and stand uncomfortably close to me as they transparently “work the crowd.” Their email is rudely informal (1 detest the greeting/salutation “hi”); and their voicemail garbled.

My challenge has been to interpret these changes for you, our alumni, and to strengthen your connection to Wilkes at this exciting moment in our history. But by far my biggest joy has been in hearing what you’re passionate about. With more than 25.000 alumni of varying ages, cultures, and professions around lhe world, its a major challenge to keep up with you. But I’ve met so many fascinating people in my travels and have learned a lot about how you want your alma mater to interact with you. For example, you’ve told me you prefer reunion events that bring together dorm-mates, sports teams and other club groups, rather than class years. As a result, we have moved Reunion Weekend from the spring to a portion of Homecoming Weekend in the fall. Those of you who live outside Northeastern Pennsylvania are eager to connect with fel­ low alumni who live right in your own community. So, for a start. I’ve been meeting with alumni in NYC and lhe Lehigh Valley of PA to rejuvenate chapters and programs in their area. And increasing numbers of alumni have expressed an interest in gening together on campus or as a regional chapter. I’ve learned that there is much more we can do as a university to keep you connected. Despite our best intentions, diere have been times when we’ve fallen short in communi­ cating about events or delivering on what we’ve promised. This is changing. Our mission is to put you first and to do what we tell you we're going to do. As we reshape the University for success in the years ahead, there is widespread under­ standing that Wilkes will not succeed without its alumni. We need more than just your financial support. As a volunteer, you can offer time and creativity that are invaluable in making Wilkes an institution that you and other alumni will rely on as a primary source for learning opportunities throughout your lives. There are so many of you who truly care about Wilkes University and want to sustain it for future generations of Colonels. I look forward to working with you to continue to improve the Wilkes University Alumni Association as an organization that meets the needs of all Wilkes alumni and students. I!

On the academic side of the house, Capin assisted in the development of the MBA program, specialization of Accounting, the advancement of the Wilkes-Hahnemann medical program and establishment of the Nursing School. Another significant achievement was rc- accrcditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities.

The funds will be used to acquire equipment that will help position Wilkes as a leader in undergraduate genomic education. Slated to open in Fall 2004, the Dr. Les Turoczi Genomic Research l aboraloiy will give Wilkes students an edge in the science marketplace. The project was announced at a Homecoming weekend dinner reception where more than 60 ofTuroczis former students and friends gathered to celebrate his 30 years of teaching and scholarship. Alumni traveled from as far away as New Hampshire and Man land to honor their former professor. In opening remarks. Biology. Chemistry and Health Sciences division chairman Dr. Michael Steele thanked Turoczi for leading a transformation during his years as department chairman. “Under Dr. Turoczis leadership, outdivision has begun to take on an entirely new image, that of an undergraduate program where research activities are a major focus of the education not forjust some, but all undergraduates.- said Steele. "Our students in Biology and Chentisuy leant the process of the science, not just the facts. Investigative research is now inte­ grated across the curriculum, in the Labora­ tories, in the classroom, and outside of class in a variety of ways." According to Steele, training in the use and capabilities of these cutting-edge tech­ niques and tools is essential. With mtirdng in the new laboratory. students will be pre­ pared to engage in sophisticated levels of acquisition. analysis, and dissemination of genomics information. Students in laboratory courses will have hands-on experience with emerging meth­ ods of genomic data analysis and Wilkes faculty members and students will be able to significantly expand their active research. Additionally, the acquisition will allow the University to serve as a resource to the greater communitv bv providing applied research capabilities.

I The new site provides a personalized Web experience for prospective students. By sharing information with Wilkes about their academic and co-curricular interests, they receive the latest informa­ tion customized to their needs on the site and via email. The site allows them to manage the enrollment process on-line by using services such as an on-line application, an automated campus visit request form, interactive survey features, and a dynamic database for frequently asked questions. According to Vice President of Enrollment Services Mike Frantz, one of the major goals of the re-launch was to integrate on-line and off-line communi­ cations and increase inquiries and appli­ cations from those considering Wilkes, "Our communications with prospective students — whether in person, over the phone or through the mail— always illustrate that Wilkes is a University where individual needs are met,” said Frantz. uThe new Web services add another layer of sophistication to our 6 THE NEW HOMEPAGE (ABOVE) FEATURES RESTRUCTURED NAVIGATION BASED ON A PARTICULAR AUDIENCE, AND THE ADMISSIONS PAGE (LEFT) HOUSES POWERFUL SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO PERSONALIZE THE SITE TO FIT THEIR NEEDS AND INTERESTS. ability to provide them with a personal­ ized experience.” "Results of initial testing among high school students and parents have been overwhelmingly positive,” adds Pamela Fendrock, the University’s new Web content manager. “We are encouraged by this response, but won’t rest on our laurels,” said Fendrock. "We continue to update and refine the sites content daily and arc working on the development of other applications to make the site more useful to prospective students, alumni, current students, faculty and staff.” The site uses software provided by LiquidMatrix, one of the nations leading proriders of 1-to-l internet communications for colleges and universities. Wilkes also partnered with Noel-Leritz, a nationally recognized consulting firm specializing in higher education, to integrate the Web component with its existing enrollment management processes. The launch is the first step in the development of many new on-line services. Planned improvements include redesigned alumni and development sections, on-line event registration and centralized calendar system, gift and fee processing services, and a portal site for current students. Prospective students can tailor the site to their specific interests by visiting www.wilkes.edu and clicking on the Admissions link.I* I Four new trustees, one goal: To advance Wilkes University Attorney Linda Fisher, Dr. Alan Guskin, President & CEO Michael Mahoney, and Attorney James Sandman are the newest mem­ bers of the Wilkes University Board of Trustees.

As the University prepares to welcome its largestfreshman class in more than 10 years,faculty and administration arc tackling the challenges that come with it, such as increased demandfor residence hall space, staff suppon and class sirtions. For President Tim Gilmour, its all part of the plan—the strategic plan. that is. Dramatic growth in enrollment is one of the many bodacious goals he and die Wil/ccs community have set in its Vision 2010 plan. When he joined Wilkes in 2001, Tim immediately began a comprehensive review of programs andfinances as part of his goal to create a culture of open communication and participative planning. Leading strategic change is a discipline Tim knows well. He previously served as provost at Northwest Missouri State University and vice president for strategic planning ar Georgia Tech. He also has held executive administration positions at the University of Maryland College Park and Penn State University. He has a B.A. in history, an M.Edfrom the University of Delaware, and a Ph.D. in Higher Education from the University of Michigan. Tofind out more about Tim and the ambi­ tious vision he is leading campus toward, Alumni Relations Director Stacy- Smulowitz ’93 spent some time with him on a recent Friday morning at his home. “As your alumni representative and a Wilkes alumna myself, 1 hoped to find out more about how the president plans to shape the future of our alma mater,” says Smulowitz. "Tun is an extremely humble individual, and it takes considerable prodding to get him to talk about himself. When he docs, it's clear that he indy believes his role is as senant to the Wilkes community.'’ the "new" concept of leadership is to help people find ways to become successful by meeting the needs of those they are assigned to serve. "By doing this you create an institution in which all of its members arc solving problems and creating an agile and flexible organization responsive to its environment and those it serves," he said. On leadership. On why he chose Wilkes University. Of his many responsibilities as president of a comprehensive and growing university, the largest Tim is charged with is leading all 380-plus employees to accomplish the institutions strategic long-range plan. This grand effort will take a leader who is skilled in the an of empowerment and motivation. “Leaders are people who help an organ­ ization understand its opportunities and challenges and excite its members to change what they’re doing to actions that advance the institution toward its oppor­ tunities,” he said. "That takes a lot of communication, persuasion, and helping people to do the right things.” Tim sees the “old” concept of leader­ ship—in which a leader defines a direc­ tion for an organization and the staff follows through—as outmoded. To him, Tim has spent much of his career at larger, state-assisted universities. Northwest Missouri State, for example, is about twice the size of Wilkes. But those experiences have given him a unique outlook on how Wilkes fits in the big picture of higher education. "First, you need to know that I believe higher education laces significant challenges and opportunities in the years ahead as the environment changes,” he said. "The institutions that will succeed are those that are able to read what’s happening in their environment and have the capacity to adjust quickly to those changes. "What attracted me to Wilkes is that it is precisely the kind of institution that can thrive in a changing environment.” he added. "It has always been a creature of the Wyoming Valley— responsive to the needs of the community and uniquely focused on the learning needs of its stu­ dents. Wilkes is a great place to work, a place where people see themselves as pan of a close-knit family. Being part of an organization that shows it can respond, in the sense that we have people who can and do want change, is an incredible opportunity.” On opportunities and challenges. "Every higher education institution has challenges,” said Tim, "including developing support programs that respond io changing needs; building institutional strength through enhancing the capacity of faculty, staff, and alumni; raising funds to create the margin of excellence; and fostering outstanding leadership throughout the organization. At the same time, we must address rapidly rising costs. Our challenge at Wilkes is to stop growth in costs while growing in size, reaping economies of scale, and in stature. Tim believes that although Wilkes faces some serious challenges in the coming years, the opportunities for it to grow and better serve its students and the commu­ nity at large are plentiful. "Our opportunities are tied to our historic ability to respond rapidly lo the educational needs of Northeastern Pennsylvania,” he said. "We are growing this region to create a larger service area, bringing greater strength over the long haul. And we will find there arc many opportunities for new' residential programs with real excitement and excellence, as we did with the School of Pharmacy.” "In addition,” he continued, "we will increase offerings in continuing education/post baccalaureate programs, as we did with the graduate education program. I believe that the institutions that can pro­ vide a focused array of high demand pro­ grams at this level will be the ones that will thrive in the future.” On the Wilkes University of today. Wilkes has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. For alumni who may not have been back to Wilkes in a while, the institution may look like a different place, but still feels like home. According to Tim, enrollments are increasing, costs are being controlled, and we have a complete collection of programs that attest to our strength. Eut to ensure a promising future, todays opportunities must be seized in order to succeed tomorrow. On the Wilkes University of tomorrow. According to Tim. the Wilkes of the future will be founded on a single principle: exceeding student expectations. "First we need to focus on student needs by adding more programs that place our graduates in lucrative professions and enable alumni in the workplace to contin­ ue their education and enhance the current skills needed to prosper in their chosen careers," he said. "We also need to increase the use of technology for enhanced student learning." He noted that even with the increases in enrollment over the past few years, there is still room for our undergraduate and graduate enrollments to grow. The Strategic Long-Range Plan calls for an increase in current enrollments from 2600 full-time equivalent students to 4000 in the year 2010. That means residential programs need to grow from 1850 to 2200 and post-baccalaureate offerings from 750 to 1800. �cov? story \~=-view :iOur goal always is to serve our students at a cost that doesn't unduly strap them after graduation." "In addition, we will look to greatly strengthen our financial stability, faculty and staff capacity information technology and facilities/ said Gilmour. On Wilkes University's financial strength. In order for Wilkes to move forward, it has to have the financial strength to support such growth. Bui!ding this financial strength. Tim says, is the top objective. Financial strength of any university is derived largely from its endowment which is similar to an individuals savings and investment An endowment is made up of a combination of restricted and unrestricted gifts by alumni, friends, universiri’ family, and community members. These gifts are invested and a percentage of the the income (currently 4.5 percent) is used to support scholar­ ships and designated operations to offset dollars from tuition and fees. “Currently, 90 percent of the University’s operating budget comes from tuition and fees. Compared to our com­ petitors this is very high. Over time we need to increase the proportion of budget from other sources," Tim said. Vision 2010 calls for the endowment to triple from its current level of S21 million to S60 million. "To reach this number/ explained Tim. "we will rely on careful budgeting, cost savings, and asking our constituents to help us build our financial strength/ “The Wilkes faculty, staff, and administration will become more efficient with its processes and significantly reduce our costs in the years ahead,” he said. “In doing so we will need to maintain our quality and competitiveness in the marketplace. “Our goal always is to serve our stu­ dents at a cost that doesn’t unduly strap them after graduation/ added Tim. Principle funding sources for the future include continued reliance on tuition, but watching costs and being realistic about what our students and their parents can afford; larger endowment for scholarships and targeted programs to support students; state funding, which has decreased over the years; and major grants from government and foundations to enhance specific programs. will be the creation of a portfolio of challenging academic programs that use technology to its fullest and arc capable of meeting changing societal needs. Al the same time, Wilkes must also control costs and invest in the physical plant to enhance our financial strength. “Certainly one of the tilings we will seek is greater support from alumni for continuing education needs, referring students, volunteering to help the Alumni Association, and financial support to build the endowment,” he said. “We want our students to feel like they have control over their destiny, can think independently, and feel an obligation to be citizens with a sense of social responsibility/ I11 WILKES' VITALS On continuing education and distance learning. “I’d like to see greater emphasis on meet­ ing the needs of our alumni, especially in terms of continuing education, distance education, and lifelong learning/ said Tim. “Distance learning wall play a strong hand in our future. As we move forward in our graduate education programs we will see greater reliance on technology, whether it is through a course offered on campus or via the Web.” President Gilmour envisions that within the next few years uwe will be able to track our alumni (who request service) and provide them with an educational portfolio and the advice and assistance they need to keep up-to-date with advances in their field and remain competitive.” “We want to be the educational provider of choice for alumni and oth­ ers...an institution of lifelong learning.” On getting from today to tomorrow. To move toward this ambitious vision, Wilkes will need to redefine and create an undergraduate experience that is the best in the Mid-Atlantic region.

After all, the U.S. stock markets three-year slide hit some portfolios hard. The sputtering economy and uncertain labor market are forcing some to rethink their retirement plan. Some will work longer — and harder — to reach their retirement goals. The 13th annual Retirement Confidence Survey found that the share of workers not at all confident they will have enough money saved to live comfortably in retirement jumped to 16 percent in 2003, up from 10 percent the year before. Those feeling very confident declined to 21 percent from 23 percent. Thirty-seven percent haven’t calculated how much money they wall need to retire. Worse, nearly a third of today’s workers haven't yet started to save for retirement. Ouch. And many of today’s workers won’t be eligible for full Social Security benefits until age 67. But more than half the respon­ dents were unaware of the phased increase in the retirement age from 65 to 67. Sounds grim, but the young worker to whom we talked aims to retire at age 55 and our two retirees are doing fine, thank you. Read their stories and learn. Consider Sumner Hayward ‘65. He didn’t plan to retire early. At age 55, though, health forced him to re-think life and he said good­ bye to the job he loved — teaching. "I like being able to do what I want to do and I do like to travel." SUMNER HAYWARD '65 “I had a heart bypass and I didn’t want to be in the middle of a school year with a contract and not be able to fulfill it,” says Hayward, now 60, of Winslow, Maine. “I decided that was the time 1 should retire. I did agonize over it. I loved teaching. I would have gone on forever, but I thought that my health was more important.” Fortunately, he found himself on solid financial footing. Hayward went straight into leaching after graduation and was a diligent saver from the start “I always put money into annuities and, when IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) became available, I put money into them. I always did that to a maximum. I worked summers doing other things to supplement my teaching income.” In addition to tax-sheltered vehicles, he bought Maine real estate and, along the way, stock-indexed mutual funds and a few individual stocks he liked. Those assets, coupled with a pension from nearly three decades of teaching, allowed him to start a new fife chapter with little financial worry. His reason for saving'. “I wanted to make sure that there was security for me and my wife (Barbara) — although I didn’t really care about retirement. I’ve always felt it was important to put money aside and to realize that sometime you may need to use it” Saving, says Hayward, may mean lifestyle choices. “I don’t have big financial needs. I’m pretty simple person,” he says. “I don’t need a million-dollar house. I don’t need big car. Also, Maine is not an extremely high cost of tiring state. If I were firing in New York City, I’d probably need more money than I need here.” Early retirement has afforded Hayward new opportunities. One is as a part-time antiques dealer and he’s an arid reader in his areas of interest — English china, American pottery; Maine pressed glass, and Civil War memorabilia. He enjoys the business, and the income helps to fund his other passion — travel. “I like being able to do what I want to do and I do like to travel,” he says. “I can travel cheaply' because I can travel off sea­ son. It doesn’t necessarily have to be as Pe:er Few- Stuso more exploration of the U.S. A time-share he and his wife bought offers a host of domestic possibilities. While resigning from leaching was "really heart breaking,” he still visits the school. “I see students in the hall and say, ‘Oh, God, I’d love to work with these guys.’” He has that opportunity — as a vol­ unteer in the after-school theater program. Hayward’s retirement advice for new grads is the same he’s given his own daughter. “Save 10 bucks every week. By the end of the year, it begins to lookdike some money. By the end of 10 years, it looks like big money,” he says. “With interest compounding, even though rates aren’t that high right now, it still grows. That way you have money for a rainy day or retirement or whatever happens.” The voice of Wilkes University AInnini doesn't beat the S&-P 500. Its difficult to pick the right manager,” says Herrmann. “Indexfunds are an excellent way to get broad exposure to the market and to have a diversified portfolio across individual names and market sectors. And you generally have lowerfees and lower turnover—all which add to performance over time." Cardell says its important to put pre-tax dollars to work in tax-deferred vehicles like d01 (l?)s and IRAs. “The real value there is the compounding of this tax-free money. Instead of paying a portion of that out each year in taxes, you get the interest on the interest. When you add that up, that’s the power of compounding.” Stalling early, too, like Hayward did, is vital. “Studies have shown ifyou put money in yourfirst 10years, then stop, you’d still be ahead of those people who shipped die first 10years and then started. That’s because you had die compounding effect of that money," says Cardell. They, too, like Hayward’s side business. “If in your retirement you can generate a cash stream by doing something that you wanted to do anyway, that's a real benefit.” says Herrmann. “But, certainly, in retirement ifyou can spend part ofyour time doing something that generates income that’s only going to improve your lijestylc — which he has accomplished. ’ Another plus — living in a low-cost urea. "That really helps the balance sheet because you're going to deplete your sarings at a much slower rate? says Cordell. 15 �covERStory covERStory Rantf/ Smtfi pnotograpny Thirty-year-old Kiana Phuong Bui ‘96 and her friends dream about retiring and retiring early. Working as a benefits assistant at a con­ sulting company, Bui, of Vienna, Va., says, “I am trying to save like crazy. Since I got out of college, the first job 1 had, I wanted to put anything 1 could into a 401 (k)." The magic of a 401(k), in addition to allowing employees to contribute to a retirement plan with pre-tax dollars, is that employers can match a workers con­ tribution. Employers can contribute up to 100 percent of an employee's compensa­ tion or up to $40,000 — whichever is less. Important for young professionals like Bui who are climbing career ladders and changing jobs is that they’re portable. If they change employers, their retirement plans follow. Bui thinks it best to spread her invest­ ments over different asset classes and fig­ ures she’s young enough to take the risk of the volatile technology’ sector. “Your money can be in the wrong fund — so you can lose,” she says. “Because I'm young right now, its okay to be aggressive in some of the funds. Sometimes, when you get your quar­ terly statement it doesn’t look too good.” Diversification, though, is an invest­ ment lesson her husband learned when his WorldCom Inc. 401 (k) went south. “He lost everything,” she says. “Like they teach you at school, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. He’s starting all over.” Bui doesn’t understand friends who don’t save. “The money they make, they 16 spend it all. It goes toward bills or some­ thing else. Saving for me is not a prob­ lem.” Being a two-income family helps and she uses automatic withdrawal from her paycheck and checking account to fund her 401 (k) and savings. Driving Bui’s saving is her future. “1 want to not have to work when it’s time to retire,” she says. “I want to be able to sur­ vive on the money’ I’ve saved because Social Security’ is not going to be enough.” Major retirement plans include travel and she’d like to do it at a young enough age to enjoy it and not have to worry about health. She thinks age 55 would be an ideal lime to retire. “All of us want to retire early,” says Bui of her and her friends’ plans. “We talk about what we need to save now. But then down the road, if something happens, how things may need to be reorganized.” “Hopefully, I get to travel,” she says, per­ haps returning to her native Vietnam. Europe, too. “That’s what I want to do now. But it’s hard working and trying to get vacation time.” Analysis: “She’s 30years old and recogniz­ ing that she can afford to take more risk. That's a good thing. Her time horizon will afford risk,” says Hcrnnann. “Because of that she’s in tech­ nologyfunds. I think investing in a sectorfund —particularly a volatile sectorfund—is not much better than holding one stock. These stocks are in the same sector, often impacted by the same economic events and by the same kind of things that happen in the economy. Herport- folio should be more diversified. She should be building a portfolio acmss all sectors, large cap and, perhaps, small cap, and international." Cardell agrees that diversification is essen­ tial. But he also notes that many small investors tend to buy last year’s winners and worries that Bui may be making the same mistake with her technology bet. “Studies have shown that subsequent performance of thesefunds is that they tend to underper­ form,” he says. Is her early retirementfeasible? “The problem is not that people want to retire at 55 but they are forgetting that they may have a 30-year retirement. She could have a retirement as long as her working life,” says Cardell. “ The expected life span of a woman is close to 80 now. She could live quite a long time. You’ve got to earn quite a bit of money at 55 to get you through the rest of the way. Life expectancy has gone way up.” “Kiana makes the point that Social Security won’t be enough," says Cardell. “It’s not going to be there at all, in my opinion. Soon, there will be two retireesfor every worker. There’s no way the system can sup­ port that. Ifyou re counting on any kind oj Social Security then you’re mistaken. You need to do it on your own. ” Says Herrmann: “Will she be able to do it? A lot depends on her expected lifestyle and her lifestyle now. It’s all about setting priori­ ties, realistic goals, living within your means and accumulating. You have to be prepared to adjust because a lot of people who were ready to retire at the end of2000 or 2001 had to re-adjust.” wiLKESuniverse William Umphred ’52 of Naples, Fla., and his wife, Connie, both Wilkes trustees emeriti, live the quintessential good life. Umphred, now 74, retired at age 61. His first spouse died, but he married Connie, 70. They’ now split lime between Florida’s Gulf Coast and Northeast Pennsylvania. Umphred decided to retire after being invited to Naples by friends. “They’ said Naples was a paradise, I came down for a visit in 1988 and then came back in 1989 and spent a month. By the time I was ready’ to leave, I was hooked on the lifestyle and decided to retire at the end of that year at the age of 61 — four years ear­ lier than I would have had to retire.” Living by the motto his father taught him, he says, helped to lay the ground­ work to make it possible. “He said a person should always pay himself first,” says Umphred. “What he meant by that was that whatever your earnings arc, put a percentage away in sav­ ings or investments. I started doing that as soon as I was making a meaningful salary’.” He bought stock in the company for whom he worked and participated in the employee stock purchase plan and re­ invested his dividends. “Then along came the 401(k),” he says. “It in effect paid people to save their money’ and companies match your contributions up to a certain level. How could one turn that offer down? Then the government came out with die IRA. I had some inde­ pendent income and I was able to start an IRA for myself. Then I participated in an executive stock option program.” Those things together, he says, built an asset base over die course of a 30-year career that made the retirement decision easy’. “I said to my’ late wife, ‘Wc can afford to retire. Let's do it because we like the kind of life we saw down in Naples.’ It was a long-term program and not intended to lead me to retirement It was a program intended to provide security for my family’ and myself over a long period of time.” What would he do differently? Tlie voice of Wilkes University Alumni “Do more of what 1 did do,” say’s Umphred. “What got us to the level of financial security’ was the willingness to sacrifice things in the early years in order to have more later. What we gave up maybe were some trips I might have taken. Sometimes I look back at that and think I should have done more of that with my children. But I am very’ comfortable with the way things worked out for us.” Early retirement has afforded him and Connie a wealth of leisure time and they consider themselves blessed that they have the health to enjoy it. “When you have all that time, a lot of people think they couldn’t handle retire­ ment because they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves,” says Umphred. “Connie and I both agree that we find we have more time to spend with family and fnends. We have 13 grandchildren between the two of us and we have a lot more time to do those things.” They’ remain active. They’ bother little with television but play golf with friends several times a week and relish the time together. Adds Connie: “We both belong to a church and have become very’ active there. We can walk to the philharmonic and we’ve taken advantage of all the opportunities there — lectures, book reviews, and concerts. We walk every day. We can walk to the beach. We bike and we have a golf course across the street. We have the best of many worlds.” And Umphred has no problem figuring how to spend time. “I do the things I always did. 1 do a lot of reading. I spend a lot of time with The New York Times every’ day. And my experience has been that at the end of the day, I’ve not com­ pleted the list of things I wanted to com­ plete that day. I never have any problem filling my time.” They’ keep watch on their investments — with the help of professional money managers — and stay abreast of economic developments. But the fussy stock market hasn’t cost them lost sleep. “1 learned a long time ago not to spend too much time worrying about things that I really don't have any influence over,” says Umphred. “1 don’t dwell on the economy. You go through periods of upturns and downturns. Meantime, there’s nothing I can do about it, so I don’t worry’ about it because it's not affecting us adversely.” “Maybe the market value of our port­ folios isn’t worth as much as it might have been two or three years ago,” he adds, “but the returns coming from the portfolio are very much the same. We still have the wherewithal to do the things we want to do." Analysis: “Pay yourselffirst. That’s good advice. Allocate an amount of income to savings before you have the opportunity to spend it,” says Herrmann. Umphred, he notes, bought company stock and participated in an employee stock purchase plan and re-invested dividends as well as 401 (It) and IRAs. “He took advantage of every opportunity before him. The rate of savings is as important as the rate of return. Perhaps more important. A lol of investors are focused on return as opposed to effective and systematic saving." Using tax-deferred vehicles like 401 (k) and IRAs actually lowers the cost offunding these plans, says Hcrnnann. “Using tax­ deferral and letting Uncle Sam pitch in is a way to reduce your costs and get the thinggoing." Cardell cautions, though, that putting too much money into one employer’s stock or a pension plan that invests primarily in that company’s stock leaves one too dependent on that company. Worst case scenario: “You lose yourjob, the stock becomes next to worthless, and the chance of actually collecting a pension declines.” Says Herrmann: Take advantage of employee stock purchase plans, but diversify holdings when permitted. And focus on the long-term. III �spoRTspage COACH RYAN. ON THE SIDELINES DURING WISCONSIN’S FINAL HOME GAME, HOPES THE COACH OF THE YEAR HONOR IS JUST A BLIP ON THE RADAR SCREEN AND A PREVIEW OF GREAT THINGS FOR THE BADGERS. From Wilkes-Barre to Wisconsin BY DAVID DIMARTINO '01, M'03 P.’Wicsax.-nesvoiWiscon'nSponsIniornwtonDeparjnyn: Bo Ryan '69 named Big Ten Coach of the Year, but to him, that's only the beginning. ■ IN THE MOVIE THE WIZARD OF OZ, ■ Dorothy followed the Yellow Brick ■ Road. In his quest for a Division I LI national title, University of Wisconsin head basketball coach Bo Ryan 69 has followed the “W Road/ And although the top prize still waits for him at the end of it, Ryan is collecting quite a few Ws, and awards, along the way. Ryans journey began when he enrolled at Wilkes in 1965. A high-scoring guard for the Colonels, he graduated in 1969 until a degree in Business Administration. His experiences, he says, were lasting. 18 “It was exciting living in what was then Butler Hall, along the Susquehanna, with all the basketball guys,” he said. “It was really something special, and I have main­ tained those relationships to this day.” After graduation, Ryan bounced around until ultimately landing a college head coaching position in 1984. His first year at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville was not great, as the team posted a 9-17 record. But that would be the final sub.500 year he would endure. In his 15-year tenure, the Pioneers went 314-87 and won four National Championships. Included among his national titles was the 1998 championship, in which his alma mater, Wilkes, finished fourth. Platteville was the NCAA's winningest mens basketball team of the '90s in all divisions, and Ryans 1996-97 squad set the all-time single-season Division III scoring defense mark, allowing a stingy 47.5 points per game. Ryan was also named the National .Association of Basketball Coaches Division 111 Coach of the Year four times and the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year on six occasions. “My biggest achievement was my first national title at Platteville," said Ryan. “It meant so much for the school, the stu­ dent-athletes, and the community. To then win three more national titles was just unbelievable." Also included in Ryans collection of hardware are two gold medals. He received one in 1993 as an assistant under Virginia coach Pete Gillen at the U.S. Olympic Festival and the other in 1995 under former Atlanta Hawks coach Lon Kruger at the World University Games. Upon leaving Platteville, Ryan stayed in Wisconsin but moved to the Division I level at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee, where he coached for two The voice of WiIkes University Alumni seasons. Ryan posted a 30-27 record as coach of the Panthers, but was their first coach to stage back-to-back winning sea­ sons in eight years. Ryan also experienced a 161% home attendance increase in his first season at the helm in Milwaukee. In 2001. Coach Ryan made it to the “Emerald City," so to speak, when he was offered the University of Wisconsin head spot. In his rookie campaign with Wisconsin, Ryan directed his squad to 19 wins and the Big Ten Championship, inking his name into the record books. Named the Big Ten Coach of the Year, Ryan is the first-ever Wisconsin coach to earn that honor. “I call that award the ‘staff of the year award,” said Ryan. "The award really means that the team played well.” After his record-setting year, Ryan was also named the Collcgeinsider.com National Coach of the Year and became the winningest first-year coach in University of Wisconsin history. Entering the 2002-2003 season, Ryan had the highest winning percentage among active Division I coaches with at least 15 years of coaching experience (.776). He tops a list of names that includes Bobby Knight (Texas Tech and formerly Indiana), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), and Mike Krzyzewski (Duke). This season, the Badgers once again captured the Big Ten Championship, marking their first outright title since 1947. For their efforts, the squad was awarded a five-seed in the NCAA Tournament, knocking off Weber Stale "I made it to where 1 am because I had parents who believed in me and believed that there was some­ thing better out therefor me... They gave me the opportunity and helped me to believe in myself." and Tulsa before dropping a 63-57 deci­ sion to top-seeded Kentucky in the Sweet 16. Since season’s end, Ryan has been named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the second straight year. Like Dorothy, Ryan could not make his journey alone. “I made it to where 1 am because I had parents who believed in me and believed that there was something better out there for me," said Ryan. “They gave me the opportunity and helped me to believe in myself.” Every journey has a starling point. In Bo Ryan’s case, the yellow Brick Road began in Wilkes-Barre. I • 1 19 �spoTlight spoTlight The Accounting Profession Comes Out Swinging BY ELIZABETH SKRAPITS Should the unethical practices of a few erode public confidence in an entire profession? 1 hat's the question facing public accountants nationwide ever since "the scandal" The professionrha! don't abide by the rules." WILLIAM R. LAZOR CPA '71 I-ack in MID-2001, the average person on the street most likely jih had never heard of, or knew very' little about, a Houston, Texas-based energy' company' called Enron, even though Fortune 500 listed it as the seventh-largest corporation in the U.S. But over the course ofjust a few short months, the name Enron, and that of its accounting firm Arthur Andersen, seeped into the American consciousness. The talc of deception, fraud, and corruption that implicated high-ranking government figures — including the President of the United States — and average working people alike, unfolded in the media to a fascinated audience. In October 2001, Enrons third-quarter financial report revealed losses of more than S600 million and a reduction of SI.2 billion in shareholder equity. The company's stock price and credit rating plummeted, and in December, it filed for bankruptcy — the largest in U.S. history. Arthur Andersen was put on the hot seat for fraudulent accounting, "cooking the books,” io make the company’s financial picture look bright. In March 2002. a Houston grand jury indicted Arthur Andersen for destroying Enron documents and hindering an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm was found guilty of altering evidence and was given the maximum sentence of five years probation and a S500.000 fine. But Enron and Arthur Anderson weren’t the only ones tarnishing the once golden profession. Investigations into WorldCom, Tyco International, Global Crossing, and Xerox all contributed to the buzz. As a result, jokes and caricatures featur­ ing the energy’ and accounting giants were everywhere, from newspapers read during breakfast to late-night TV. And accountants, who were traditionally viewed as solid and upright, were suddenly and unwittingly thrust into the spotlight. TRUSTEE* w WELL THE HITS SHE '68 KNOWS FULL ACCOUNTING PROFESE PAST FEW YEARS. Is The question remains... did these fiascos cause a collapse in public opinion? William R. Lazor CPA 71 thinks so, and he should know. An officer and shareholder with the Kingston, Pa. firm of Kronick Kalada Berdy & Company PC, Lazor served on the House Special Advisory' Committee on Pension Protection and Investment Fraud, and in June he became president of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA). “I think that the scandals have definitely* had an impact on the publics perception of the CPA profession,” says Lazor. “It has required us to take an inward look at the way the profession is governed, the way the profession conducts itself, and the process under which the profession subjects itself to self-regulation.” "As in any occupation, there are good people and there are perhaps people who bend the rules,” he adds. “The profession has no tolerance for those CPAs who don’t abide by the rules. There are hundreds of thousands of practicing CPAs in the United Slates who do the right thing each and every* day.” In the wake of Enron, Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to establish stan­ dards for corporate accountability* and responsibility, financial disclosures, and conflicts of interest. The law also estab­ lishes an accounting oversight board. Gary' Swartz ’93, financial advisor, Branch Management for Morgan Stanley, feels Sarbanes-Oxley “will improve auditing, quality’ control, and hopefully the standards by* which accounting professionals will be required to uphold.” "This reform will encourage the elimination of various conflicts of interest, such as firms exploiting their powers with corporate clients in order to win over lucrative investment banking relationships and other such dealings,” says Swartz. “This increased filing and reporting by the accounting industry is essential to restore consumer confidence and its perception of coqiorate America.” Suzanne M. Fletcher’85, Principal for Parente Randolph, PC in Wilkes-Barre, agrees that many of the Sarbanes-Oxley reforms arc necessary and will have a beneficial impact on corporate governance. ‘’The changes have affected my career in the need to keep up with the increasing complexities of the profession, she says. “I expect that the Act will provide our firm and our team members, including myself, greater opportunities to provide services to public companies.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has also been incorporated into the Wilkes curriculum, in classes taught by Dr. Marianne M. Rexer ’85, an associate professor and the Robert S. Capin Chair of Accounting. Rexer noted that although it may not be obvious or well publicized, there is currently' a national shortage of accountants. Enrollment in the MBA program at Wilkes is rising, she said, but the number of undergraduate students choosing to major in accounting is down. “We always had an upper echelon that did well, but there’s a shortage,” she says. Rexer explained that there is an abun­ dance of opportunities available for them. In the bigger cities in particular, there are exceptionally high salaries and terrific sign-on bonuses. “There is more of a need than ever for talented, competent young people in the accounting profession,” agrees Lazor. So, the question now is how will those in the profession restore its credibility' and make accounting more desirable? “Right now in Pennsylvania we have, through the PICPA, devoted considerable resources to a very successful image­ enhancement and publicity campaign to inform the public—and particularly young people—what the CPA profession is and what it does,” says Lazor, Much like a prizefighter slowly climbing to his feet during the hard count, it appears that the accounting profession will rise again, its reputation stronger than ever.

ANTHONY L. LIUZZO * g ■ ■ H H first noticed it while I was watching some footage of a New York Yankee game from the 1940s. There was something different about the crowd of people. It finally dawned upon me. They were well dressed! When did America get so sloppy? It doesn't seem that long ago that people would actually dress up before leaving their homes. Females would don a dress, or a neat pair of slacks with matching top; males would wear a shirt that had devices called “buttons” on it, and might even put on a sport jacket 1 am probably dating myself when I confess that 1 can remember women wearing fancy’ gloves — even during the summer months. Today, of course, dressing down is all the rage. Wearing underclothes as outer clothes seems to make perfect sense. The T-shirt used to be worn under the shin. Now, not only is it en vogue to wear it in full display, but most individuals call attention to it by splashing political slogans, obscenities, or the names of their favorite metal heads and rappers on both front and back sides. Shoes that look like slippers, pants that resemble pajamas, disheveled hair, and one-day-old beards — what an appropriate way to visit the local restaurant. Also, why is it that so many people insist on advertising products on their clothing? Beer, bars, canoon characters, and tourist destinations all show up on everything from socks to underwear. The words of the prophets cover us like graffiti. And who exactly are Ralph, Liz, and Tommy, and why are their names emblazoned on our apparel? To think that my mother used to admonish me to remove all headgear upon entering a building. Now, I could write an entire treatise on the appropriate usage of the baseball cap. The brim of the cap is placed in a variety of directions, presumably communicating, in some encoded form, the wearer’s philosophical position on major policy issues.

Sometimes it seems that 1 am the last of the holdouts. 1 refuse to justify sloppiness by blaming the hot weather. I do not wear shorts, lest my skinny legs be the subject of ridicule; 1 refuse to wear sandals, as I allow my toes to be viewed only by my most intimate friends and my podiatrist; and 1 will never wear a tank top, since I maintain a jaundiced view of the effectiveness of the deodorant products currently on the market I also persist with die silly notion that certain types of clothing are suitable for certain occasions. 1 would respectfully inform those people who advise me to “be myself,” that “myself" can be the person mowing the lawn in my jeans, having breakfast in my nightclothes, or dining elegandy in a tuxedo. — or writing this article in my undies.

The fact that I’ve noticed that there are primarily two types of alumni magazine readers—those who the Universe as theirs (the alumnis) and those who view it as Wilkes University’s. The ence lies in whether or not they feel they are welcome to be a part of the publication, or those who feel a kinship with the magazine, they are quite eager to be included in : than just the Milestones (formerly referred to as class notes). And its great. For them, i interactive, two-way communication tool. Wilkes talks to them and they talk back, hat’s our final goal—for you to help make this your magazine. There are many articles ivould not have been included in this issue, had it not been for alumni sending in suggestions. I’ve received emails, letters, photocopies of newspaper and magazine es, web page references, and notes scribbled on pieces of scrap paper. his new Universe is more alumni-focused and hopefully will be completely alumni_ ;ed from now on. For this to happen, we need your help. We need you to let us know what you’re doing and where you’re doing it. And I don't just mean professionally. Themed articles are being planned even- day. They can be of alumni who were athletes at Wilkes and continue to work in or play sports. They can be profiles of Wilkes graduates who met and fell in love at Wilkes and got married. Future issues will also include an entire page reserved for your feedback and letters to the editor. Constructive letters will be printed on a first-come basis, edited of course for space. We want to hear from you, so send your comments back to us. Well, at long last, here’s your new Universe. We hope you enjoy it. And we hope you let us know what you think.

The fact that Fl you’ve found your way to this letter means that we’ve accomplished our first goal—to pique your interest enough so that you pick up the alumni magazine and begin to read it. With all the magazines and correspondences that arrive in your mailbox each day, we know competition for your attention is fierce. Our second goal, as simple as it sounds, is for you to read the entire magazine, cover to I cover. We hope that the articles inform, I entertain, educate, or inspire you. With your | lives already consumed by your children, i spouses, careers, volunteer work, etc., finding the time to sit down with the Universe may be a challenge. If we accomplish our final goal, the first two will most certainly occur. You may have noticed the addition of a new, bold declaration on the front cover of this Universe—The Voice of Wilkes University Alumni. That’s the re-focus in a nutshell. Over the years I’ve noticed that there are primarily two types of alumni magazine readers—those who view the Universe as theirs (.the alumni’s) and those who view it as Wilkes University’s. The difference lies in whether or not they feel they are welcome to be a part of the publication. For those who feel a kinship with the magazine, they are quite eager to be included in more than just the Milestones (formerly referred to as class notes). And its great. For them, its an interactive, two-way communication tool. Wilkes talks to them and they talk back. Thai’s our final goal—for you to help make this your magazine. There are many articles that would not have been included in this issue, had it not been for alumni sending in story suggestions. I’ve received emails, letters, photocopies of newspaper and magazine articles, web page references, and notes scribbled on pieces of scrap paper. This new Universe is more alumni-focused and hopefully will be completely alumnifocused from now on. For this to happen, we need your help. We need you to let us know what you’re doing and where you’re doing it. And I don’t just mean professionally. Themed articles are being planned every day. They can be of alumni who were athletes at Wilkes and continue to work in or play sports. They can be profiles of Wilkes graduates who met and fell in love at Wilkes and got married. Future issues will also include an entire page reserved for your feedback and letters to the editor. Constructive letters will be printed on a first-come basis, edited of course for space. We want to hear from you. so send your comments back to us. Well, at long last, here’s your new Universe. We hope you enjoy it. And we hope you let us know what you think.

At a time when women’s sports scores were generally reported on the society pages, Saracino laid the foundation for women’s athletics at Wilkes. In 1960, she was the first full-time coach of the womens basketball team and guided it for its first 10 years of existence. In 1962, she turned her attention to starting a field hockey program, which she coached for its first eight years. The next year, she organized the letterwomen’s club. In 1975, Saracino started the volley­ ball team. She guided the fortunes of the Lady Colonels team, reaching the MAC playoffs in 1982 with a record of 16-6. Saracino is also credited with organizing the first womens softball and women’s tennis teams. In recognition of her perseverance and dedication to the advancement of women’s athletics, Saracino was chosen to serve on the NCAA Games Committee from 1981-1986. In that first year, Wilkes sent her to the NCAA Convention in Florida to vote to officially bring womens athletics into Division III. Saracino explains that at the time, members of the NCAA organization, con­ sisting of mostly men, announced that “it would be a cold day in hell’’ when women’s athletics would make it into the NCAA. Ironically, she recalls, it was unbe­ lievably cold in Florida that day in January. At the NCAA Convention the follow­ ing year, womens Division I and Division II athletics were to be voted in. Again, the same message was declared. Not only was it uncharacteristically cold that day. an ice storm caused the whole town of Houston, Texas, to shut down. Saracino still keeps two pins she received at the convention close to her heart. They read, “NCAA is for Women," and “NCAA — Make Love Not War.” Saracino earned a Bachelor of Science degree and Master of Arts degree from East Stroudsburg State College. She retired from coaching in 1990 and was inducted into the Wilkes University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1995. She and husband Michael have three children: Michael *85, Maria ’88, and Edward “Buddy" ’98MOI, three grandchildren, and another grand­ child due in August. The Annual Alumni Scholarship Dinner Dance will begin with cocktails at 6:30 pan. in the Henry Student Center ballroom. Tickets are $75 each.

Zipay who has taught music for 17 years and is an avid appredator of all the ans, waxes highly enthusiastic when he discusses the improvements being made to the Department and where its future lies. “We use the word ‘renaissance’ histori­ cally as a ‘rebirth/ and I think its a very good image for where we’re at right now;” Zipay says. ’We are coming back strong, and part of this renaissance is a height­ ened awareness of the ans within the University and an awareness of what the Its very significantly demanding as a disci­ plinary major, and it’s also the fastestgrowing,” ads Zipay. Matt Smallcomb, a junior Music Education major, finds he increasingly enjoys his course of study, which involves theory, education, application, and practice with a private instructor. “It’s definitely well-rounded,” he says. “My instructors are very demanding and there’s a lot of work involved, but that’s a good thing. They keep you busy. You never stop learning. You’re always incor­ porating something.” Zipay says one of the reasons the Department is making such a major comeback is because of the caliber of the instructors, all of whom have strong professional and academic backgrounds. “It’s an extraordinary faculty,” he says. “And they combine that sense of excel­ lence with realistic goal-setting for individual students." “I’m having a ball,” says Zipay. “I have a very clear sense of where I want us to be. We’re headed in the right direction and I see some very exciting HE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES OF NURSING AND THE JOHN A. HARTFORD FOUNDATION FOR GERIATRIC NURSING RECENTLY GAVE WILKES UNIVERSITY’S NURSING DEPART­ MENT A THIRD PLACE AWARD FOR EXCEPTIONAL BACCALAUREATE CUR­ RICULUM IN GERONTOLOGIC NURSING. “I think for a long time we have known, and our accreditors have told us, that we have a good program,” says Nursing Deparanent Chairperson and 17-year teaching veteran Maty Ann T. Merrigan, Ph.D., R.N. “But I think when we got this award for the excellence of our geriatric curriculum, it was an extra pat on the back for the University, students, and faculty.” The Nursing Program at Wilkes was among the first in Pennsylvania to be fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, in the spring of 1999. “One of the things that makes our pro­ gram really strong is how the faculty work with the students,” explains Merrigan, “Certainly it’s different in this kind of practice/discipline, where you’re not only with them in the classroom and the clinical. We’re with them all the rime. We get to know them on a professional level and on a personal level, and they get to know us.” things ahead.” I’ I UN,VERS,TY BAND REHEARSE IN GIES HALL, LED BY DR.

Mikula particularly likes the programs diversity, which allows students to get a taste of all different aspects of nursing. “What you learn Monday, you’re putting into practice on Tuesday,” she says. GRADUATES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY PREPARED David Jones ’99 of Plains, Pa., a Flight Nurse for the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia, primarily works with critically ill patients in emer­ gency situations. He says Wilkes provided him with a strong background in nursing, plus he especially appreciated the disci­ pline factor. As a Wilkes graduate, Jones is comfortable working on the same level as nurses from a variety of other institutions. Robena Price 78 M’99, of Kingston, Pa., is a Clinical Nurse Specialist at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, whose pri­ mary patient population is in oncology. “Where I felt I had the edge was the way Wilkes stresses development,” she says. “Not just the fundamentals of nursing, but understanding the rationale and using critical thinking to plan for a patient's care." Price returned to Wilkes for her M.S. in the gerontology program in 1999. “I chose Wilkes as a graduate program because it provided the flexibility of its curriculum and the suppon and respect from the faculty for individuals who were adult learners and professionals," she says.

There is also a pro­ gram that allows high school students to “shadow" the Wilkes nursing students in their daily rounds. “I personally love the profession I’m in, and I always feel that I want the students to love it as much as 1 do," con­ cludes Merrigan.

There are many ways to support Wilkes through chantab'.e giving. WILKES RELIES MORE ON UNRESTRICTED GIFTS THAN ANY OTHER TYPE OF SUPPORT Unrestricted gifts allow for student financial aid, program development, stu­ dent life enhancement, supplies, salaries, and more. The Wilkes Fund is the vehicle for these gifts, which can be in the form of cash, stock, or gifts-in-kind. Key to the suc­ cess of The Wilkes Fund is giving societies: 10 • The John Wilkes Club (donors who give $1,000 or more annually) • The Eugene Farley Club (donors who give $100 to $999 annually) • The Blue & Gold Club (donors who give SI to $99 annually) and Russia. Arora visited IIT-Bombay (now Mumbai) and gave a technical talk on Quantum Engineering of Nanoelectronics. In addition, he gave a one-day course titled, Innovate or Evaporate: Reviving the Entrepreneurial Spirit Among the India’s Elites. Endowed scholarships, as well as other endowment opportunities, give philan­ thropists a chance to honor someone and help Wilkes students in many different ways. An endowed scholarship, for exam­ ple, can offer immediate financial assis­ tance to current students and also providele a giving option for future donors. • A minimum gift of $25,000 establishes an endowed scholarship. • A $2,500 minimum gift establishes an annual scholarship.

Beniamin Davis ’96, Michael Mariani 72.Jan Bronson-Bartlett ’61 and Caleb McKenzie 70 survived intact the lerronst attacks on the W orld Trade Center, but their lives irrevocably changed. Davis ran home from his midtown job to a shattered Tribeca neighborhood whose upscale and working-class inhabitants now included militia, police and Red Cross volunteers. Mariani returned to his adopted city after an arduous cross­ country trek to confront a giant hole in the ground where his sky-high office once stood. Bronson walked back into her office determined to help her patients, know­ ing all the while she too was suffering the same feelings of sadness, loss and awful unreality. And McKenzie began the heart-felt task of memorializing 48 residents lost forever from his mile-square community of Hoboken, N.J. Like different chapters in the same book, each graduate tells a distinct story ° that terrible September day. But now, months later, each one sounds the same determined mantra: Life must go on. V II EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY HE VIEW FROM BENJAMIN DAVIS’ OFFICE AT ONE PENN PLAZA AFFORDS A COMMANDING VIEW OF NEW YORK, A VIEW THAT ONCE INCLUDED THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. “When the first plane hit, believe it or not, we felt the vibration,” says Davis. “1 heard someone say ‘Oh, my God, look—the World Trade Center is on fire.’ I turned, and immediately had a bad feeling." An institutional bond associate of First Albany Corp., Davis is a lifelong New Yorker. When the second plane hit, Davis had one thought; “home.” When he hit the street after walking down 42 flights of stairs, Davis faced a giant tide of fright­ ened, dust-covered office workers fleeing the terrorist attack. “Everyone was running uptown and I was the only one running toward the World Trade Center," he says. He feared the most for his mother, a registered nurse who works just blocks from the towers, and for the home he shares with his parents in Tribeca. “1 saw mayhem,” he says. “People were crying on the street, and breaking down. 1 also saw a lot of unity—people who didn’t know each other consoling each other." The downtown air was thick with dust, choking ever}' breath. Luckily, the ____ j damage inside his apartment was minimal. Thankfully, his mother was already home and his father was also safe. Once united, the family stayed put, knowing the mili­ tary now stationed on every street comer wouldn’t let them return past the barri­ cades. Because of its proximity to the fallen towers, Davis’ neighborhood was now considered Ground Zero. Spurred to help, Davis and his father volunteered with the Red Cross and Salvation Army, which set up temporary quarters on their block to offer food and supplies to emergency personnel and volunteers. “It was like a huge K-Man,” Davis says of the way-station. His mother worked at the hospital. On Monday, Davos walked two miles north to work, passing familiar subway stations now shattered by the collapse. His lungs and nostrils burned, requiring him to wear a face mask outside and to keep purifiers from the Red Cross turned on to ward off the dust inside. Each night when he returned home, he faced a new reality: proving his identity to the police. At work, it was anything but business as usual. Cantor-Fitzgerald, whose World Trade offices lost more employees than any other company, was one of First .Albany’s biggest clients. “There were a lot of hard faces in here, not only because of Cantor-Fitzgerald, but because of the uncertainty of the immediate future," Davis says. “Everybody was affected." For each business call, they spent the first five minutes discussing the attack. Employees did what work they could, all the while donating to a victims fund estab­ lished by First Albany. Al the same lime, Davis’ company helped its own, including Davis. “First Albany definitely proved their loyally to me by standing by me through this crisis,” he says. “They offered me coun­ seling, people even offered me new sheets.” Today, most days are good days. “There was a time when nobody wanted to do anything with their money,” Davis says of his companys business of buying, selling and trading bonds to institutions to help fund major projects. “Nobody had any confidence in the market because of the uncertainty of interest rates. But now, things are starting to return to normal, slowly but surely.” Despite the smell that still lingers in the air months after the attack, despite the closed businesses and the hole in the sky that confronts them every’ time they reach their comer, Davis and his parents are stay­ ing put. “It’s my neighborhood,” he says. “Yeah, I still look up every’ time 1 hear a plane. But I’m staying. Everyone has a role to play. If you consider yourself patriotic, you have to stick by your community. It’s not totally in order, but it’s almost there.” �PROFILE PROFILE EVERYONE GAVE 110 PERCENT M Ml ICHAEL MARIAN! SAW HIS LIFE . \\//|change ON CNN.

Instead of his office—on the 90th floor of World Trade Center Tower Two—there was nothing but a giant cloud of dust. “I saw the smoke billowing and saw Tower One with nothing next to it. I thought "Oh, God, we had staff in there.' We lost 87.1 was close to 40 of them." A senior rice president and trust counsel at Fiduciary Trust Company International in New York, Mariani has lived in New York since 1972, starting work at World Trade five years ago. Now, everything was gone, and Mariani-—a self-confessed workaholic—was 3.000 miles away. His savior arrived in the form of a fellow Wilkes classmate, Charles Beckley 72, whose office helped Mariani navigate a near-impossible cross-country trip. He left Friday by plane, and later Amtrak, and arrived home 23 hours later. "My wife was frantic," he says. “My chil­ dren were concerned about me getting on a plane. I said Tneres nothing to worry’ about That's it. Good-bye? ” ’‘Why did I survive and die colleague who sat next to me did not?” Realzxy didn’t sink in until he saw the billowing smoke. “I couldn’t actually feel the loss of 87 employees until i was back in New York.’ he says. ’I felt like I was in Lhe Twilight Zone in California. That this was all one big dream.’ His office was obliterated and co-work­ ers were dead. Bui fiduciary Trust, says Mariani, "came through like gangbusters,’ immediately relocating employees to an offset disaster site in Carlstadt, NJ. Incredibly Business was as norma! as pos­ sible, considering the circumstances, in 24 hours,” Mariani says, attnbuting it to the huge effort made by surviving employees. ‘Everyone gave 110 percent,’ he says.

Mariani is even seeing to the return of a prized pos­ session lost in the attack: an award from the Pope for his Catholic charity work. Mariani attended one memorial after another, for colleagues he’d seen every day for five years. The woman who shared his newspaper. The guy from lhe elevator. The ones who heeded the call over the inter­ com to return to their desks, to return to work. The ones he’d never see again. The guilt was inevitable. “We each had our own issues to deal with,” he says. "Why did I survive and the colleague who sat next to me did not?” Mariani shared those feelings with fellow Wilkes graduate Mike Calabrese 78, who also worked at World Trade and whose company lost more than JOO employees. Like Mariani, Calabrese wasn't at work that day. For some survivors, that served as both a blessing and 2 curse. In early November, Mariani’s company relocated to new headquarters on Fifth Avenue, two blocks from St. Patrick's Cathedral, signing a long-term lease. ROCKEFELLER CENTER . . He couldn’t escape daily reminders, for St. Patrick's is where an untold number of funerals and memorials took place, com­ plete with hearses, horses and bagpipes. But like Fiduciary, Mariani is staying in New York. “It never even dawned on me to leave,” he says. “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel and that light is not in N.J.” Still, Mariani’s business is the business of estate planning. He says more people have taken extra steps to make sure their estates are in order and that loved ones are provided for in lhe event of another tragedy. “It’s difficult enough coping with lhe death of a loved one without having to go through a second nightmare dealing with the disposition of assets with no estate plan in place,” he says. In January, Mariani underwent a sec­ ond crisis: open-heart surgery. Before he went to the hospital, he took his own pro­ fessional advice, reviewing everything with his wife and contacting his attorneys and insurance agent. He also reviewed his living will and health care proxy in the event he was incapacitated. Mariani insists little has changed in his own life. He trusts in his country, and his city, and has taken no precautions, bought no gas masks or Cipro tablets. “I won t be BUSINESS OF HELPING PEOPLE DEAL WITH CRISIS. But after September 11, she found herself facing something wholly new: a crisis shared the world over. Her own first thoughts were the same as everyone else. “ ‘Where’s my daughter? Where’s my husband? Is he dead?’ There was that awful feeling of not knowing if he was O.K.,” says Bronson, whose husband worked near World Trade. “There was a moment of feeling what everyone felt: ‘Is someone we love in that cloud?’ It was a complete shared experience, which is very unusual for therapists,” Bronson says. “Every one of my clients asked me ‘Where were you? Did you lose anyone?’ It proba­ bly made us all closer.” lions. If a subway stopped m the tunnel, panic set in. Everyone was engulfed in a state of high alert, a state that didn’t abate for weeks. “There was a fundamental loss of security,” Bronson says. “We all had find a new grounding for feeling safe.” Die-hard New Yorkers, long accus­ tomed to living amongst the people of the world, also struggled with newfound prej­ udices. “These were people who consid­ ered themselves very global, very liberal, who found themselves frightened when they saw someone of Middle Eastern descent,” Bronson says. At the same time, non-citizens told Bronson they struggled with their own feelings of helplessness and fear. “They were terrified they’d be tar­ gets," Bronson says. “They also said that if they couldn’t feel safe in New York, they couldn’t feel safe anywhere.” “Growing is living. Everyone grew from this experience. Everybody found something in this. It was a building block.” Afterward, clients didn’t speak of trau­ ma; they spoke of no longer feeling safe in the world. Three clients who lived near Ground Zero experienced complete dis­ ruption. Two saw the second plane hit, witnessed the buildings come down and were engulfed in the ensuing blackness. “For each, in their own different ways, it was their first near-death experience,” she says. “Everyone questioned his or her priorities. This was unprecedented.” The sudden sound of a car door clos­ ing was enough to trigger heart palpita- Bronson also admitted to her own feel­ ings of sadness, hopelessness and loss. Nearly everyone, she says, pinpointed the attacks as the primary experience of their lives. “Pan of the trauma was how people had to die. They had to choose between burning to death or jumping,” she says. “Those people just went to work one day, people like me, and look what happened." Therapy, she says, allowed people to get out their feelings, whatever they may have been. “People could come here and cry or be really angry,” Bronson says. “Or, "CENTRAL PARK just talk about loving their children.” Clients who lost friends experienced very' definite stages of grieving: shock, anger, fear, sadness and, finally, action. One client volunteered to help children who lost parents. Another found comfort in cleaning up her child’s school. To get past initial panic, clients forced themselves to assume familiar routines, ride the subway and even fly in airplanes. No one was immobilized. Alcoholics didn’t stan drinking. Ex-smokers didn't rush out and buy cigarettes. “People found ways of coping without feeling shame or falling into self-destructive behavior,” Bronson says. Some clients who worked in highincome jobs also began reassessing priori­ ties. Some looked for spiritual guidance, read books on Middle Eastern politics. Others began doing things they'd always pui off, like yoga or spending more time with family. “People began asking them­ selves ‘What’s important?' ” Some decided they'd had enough. On September 12, one client packed her kids in the car and drove to Massachusetts, never to return. Another client who w;ts caught in the darkness and sawbloody body pans on streets she walked down every day is thinking of quitting her job and moving. At one point, a shift happened. “The fear may still be there, bm the panic is gone," Bronson siys. “Growing is living. Everyone: grew from this experience. Everybody found something in this. It was a building block." 15 �PROFILE SPORTS 'Where were you that day?' In China everyone has CNN and MSNBC.

KONDOS ASSOCIATES, WHICH PROVIDES ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING FOR BUILDING PROJECTS WORLDWIDE. By mid-aftemoon, he was bound for Hoboken, N.J., on a ferry crowded with people fleeing New York. McKenzie say's it wasn’t until the ferry reached the middle of the river—where the smoke and fire were horribly close—that he knew with absolute certainty that life as he knew it had changed. Living in Hoboken, so close to Manhattan, McKenzie is reminded every day of what happened. Of the scores killed on September 11,48 lived in Hoboken, second only to New York in the number of residents killed. Everywhere he went—the dry cleaners, the PATH train station, the bus stop— McKenzie saw faces of the missing on posters littering the town. He attended 15 memorial services. “In a town like Hoboken, which is only one mile square, you know people,” he says. “Some people I saw that morning. These were not strangers.” McKenzie says while people who lived outside the city were sympathetic, they were too far removed. “As much as we didn’t understand what people in Oklahoma City were going through, peo16 pie outside New York didn’t understand what we were going through,” he says. “On TV it looks so small, compared to what really happened.” He returned to work that Thursday. “I was afraid if 1 didn’t go back immediately, I’d be too scared,” he says. But for the first few weeks, construction projects stalled and phones stopped nnging. So everyone at work chipped in, bringing muchneeded supplies to a co-worker living in the Village and helping the Red Cross dis­ tribute goods like construction boots and socks to the volunteers digging through Ground Zero. The week after September 11, McKenzie traveled to Florida. “Honestly, I was kind of glad to get on a plane, to get it out of the way,” McKenzie says. But as a dark-haired man with a mustache, he also got a hard lesson in the new to me." He was also unnerved. “I kepl thinking it would happen over and over again, that this was just the lip of the ice­ berg. We had no idea how many terrorists there were. Everybody was waiting for the other shoe to drop.” He still thinks about the what-ifs when he travels to work. “Where you are, who’s around you, how many trucks are waiting to go into the Lincoln Tunnel,” he says. Is he angry? Of course. “But 1 think you can feel anger about what happened and also feel sadness. The two are not mutually exclusive,” he says. McKenzie also found solace by joining a Hoboken memorial committee to deter­ mine what kind of tribute to erect to honor the dead. There may be a grove of trees. Or maybe a statue. The reverbera­ tions—some personal, some shared— continue. “I still cry,” McKenzie says. “If they-hit a nuclear.power plant, what are you going to do? There’s no place to go and no place to hide. You just have to deal with it head-on. Taking time off wasn’t an option for me. And I think most of New York felt the same way.” L’ I Dawn Shurmaitis operates Stella Ink, a writing and editing business based in Jersey City, N.J. that serves the greater metropolitan area. security. “It’s not unusual for me to be stopped three times on my way to one flight,” he says. “But I have no problem with it whatsoever.” In early February, he returned from a business trip to Beijing and Qingdao, a trip that brought home the far-reaching ripples of September 11 on all people of the world. “The first thing everyone asked me was GRYBOSKI ’95 DEALT TO ATLANTA friiicr Wilkes baseball star realizing some dreams can come true. ja F7 HEN KEVIN GRYBOSKI GRAD- Wf/nll dated from wilkes with W A DEGREE IN EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, HE KNEW THAT HE WANTED TO PURSUE HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL baseball PLAYER.

The Plains, Pa., native worked his way up and has spent the last two seasons as a closer for the Mariners top farm club, the Tacoma Rainiers. For his efforts, Gryboski was rewarded by the organization when it placed him on the major league 40-man rosier, which meant he would have to be invited to major league camp in the spring and be given a chance to cam a spot in the Mariners bullpen. Because of his outstanding performance at the Triple-A level, the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves all showed an interest. The Braves opted to deal for Gryboski and acquired him in a trade in late January'. He was immediately placed on the 40-man rosier and he report­ ed to spring training in Florida. “I am very excited about the opportuni­ ty to be a part of the Braves organization," Gryboski says. “It has a great tradition and an excellent pitching staff. The opportunity' to go to spring training with the major league team will allow me to try and earn a spot on its 25-man rosier.

W W (TIM) GILMOUR AS ITS FIFTH PRESIDENT BEFORE MEMBERS OF THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY AND REPRE­ SENTATIVES OF NEARLY 50 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2002. “Dr. Gilmour, the Board of Trustees has chosen you as president of Wilkes University Yours will be the great privi­ lege and responsibility of leading this institution in the fulfillment of its great promise for } ears to corne.” said Gerald Moffatt, chairman of the board and mas­ ter of ceremony. In his inaugural address, Thr Comtragc to Be Great, Gilmour outlined the University* strategic vnion through 2010. The initiatives are the result of a .j. plu.- t planning process that began August 2001 and included input from all members of the community. “Since 1 was selected for the presiden­ cy," said Gilmour, “I have been clear that I wanted this day to be one in which I would have the honor of giving voice to a bold vision for Wilkes’ future that builds on the thinking of the entire University family It gives me great pride to say I can.” The vision calls for increased promi­ nence throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, enrollment growth to 4000 fulltime equivalent students, and a three-fold increase in institutional endowment. To attain these goals, the University will rally behind three strategic initiatives: SSEZZAsraci4L PRESIDENT GILMOUR AT THE WESTMORELAND CLUB strengthening academic programs, developing an exceptional support environment for students, faculty and staff, and building financial and institu­ tional strength. “By 2010, the core values that make I am delighted to write this first letter to you. Since 1 assumed office, I have worked hard to get to know you, visiting Association events, your offices and your homes. What I have found is truly remark­ able. The level of commitment and enthu­ siasm for Wilkes—its past, present and future—among all with whom I’ve met has been incredibly strong. Each of you sees Wilkes as an institution that reached out to you in some special way and as a place that expected much of you—and got it. As a group, it seems to me Wilkes has more than its share of people who went on to do us Wilkes will not change,” said Gilmour. significant things in virtually every area of endeavor. It makes me proud to be the fifth “But we will be a different institution because we will be more entrepreneurial president of Wilkes and preside over such and have the agility to meet the cnicrg>nb educational needs of the Mid-Atlar,l*c region at all levels and locations." IM DEAR ALUMNI. a great alumni body. My inauguration was an exciting event in which the Alumni Association President, Bill Goldsworthy, challenged me “to lead Wilkes into the future in a way that maintains the pride we have in our school and that preserves the integrity and value of a Wilkes degree.” 1 accept this challenge with enthusiasm. The University community just completed a vision state­ ment that defines three strategic initiatives for Wilkes over the next five years: • To gain the competitive advantage through exceptional academic programs • To develop an exceptional support sendees environment • To buildfinancial and institutional strength To do all this we’re going to need your help. In a meeting with the Alumni Association boanl members m February, 1 asked them to work closely with the University stall to build an even more robust lifelong connection between Wilkes and all who attended it. I asked for sup­ port in student recruitment, alumni events, fundraising and University leader­ ship. In turn, 1 promised that the University would meet the evolving edu­ cational, social, and recreational needs of each graduate. These are high expectations for a strong relationship that must become even more powerful. 1 look forward to working with you to strengthen this bond in the years to come.

Cunrnt Posr.m �TIME TO REMEMBER THE ANNETTE EVANS ALUMNI HOUSE i-U: HE QUAINT, ENGLISH GOTHIC HOUSE LOCATED AT 146 SOUTH RIVER STREET, IS MORE THAN THE PLACE WHERE THE ALUMNI RELATIONS STAFF WORKS. The Annette Evans Alumni House was and is intended to be a gift to Wilkes University’s alumni. In her will, Miss Evans bequeathed her family home at 117 West River Street to Wilkes College for much-needed alumni and faculty quarters. However, the Flood of 1972 heavily damaged the house, requiring Wilkes to sell the property. When the cur- rent central campus location the foimer home of Dr. Eugene S. Farley and wife Eleanor Coates and the original home of the Health Sciences Office—became available, Miss Evans’ memorial was transferred to it. “We are really going to start taking advantage of this splendid place,” says Vice President Dawn Atwater-Haight. Future social gatherings for alumni include a “high tea” in early summer and Reunion Weekend, which will afford alumni two opportunities to take in the, Tudor Revival-style house. Friday registration runs from 9 a.m.5:30 p.m. A combination registration and continental breakfast on Saturday will be held from 9-11 a.m. The Annette Evans Alumni House is a fitting tnbute to a woman who revered education and enhanced the world through her unique talents and desire to enrich mankind. A longtime benefactor of Wilkes, Miss Evans also served as a member of the Board of Trustees. For her contributions of diverse cultural enrichment in the Commonwealth, she was appointed as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania. A founder of the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic, The Fine Arts Fiesta, and The Little Theatre, Miss Evans was a talented actress who traveled across the country with The Jitney Players. She was also an author who produced weekly theatre columns for the newspaper, many dramas, and a biogra­ phy of George Catlin, an Indian painter and native of Wilkes-Barre. Her work on a statewide Indian survey at the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society led to the formation of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology. If you happen to find yourself in town or back in the Wyoming Valley, stop in and enjoy this special place—like Miss Evans wanted.

The funds are being used to establish the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, creating a range of programs serving students from undergraduates to executives. The school will provide a strong core business education reinforced through the development of leadership skills and effective, ethical business prac­ tices. In addition, it will house a center for executive education to provide leader­ ship development programs for business executives from throughout the region. "We are deeply grateful to Jay and to Sovereign Bank for their support and for giving us the opportunity to build an exceptional business program at Wilkes," said Wilkes President Tim Gilmour. "Jay Sidhu personifies the professionalism and values that our future business leaders will need to succeed. It is upon those principles that our new curriculum will be built." Taken together, the gift is the largest contribution from a Wilkes alumnus in Wilkes' 70-year history. In 1999, Mrs. Geraldine Nesbitt Orr provided funds to establish the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy at Wilkes University in honor of her late husband, health care benefactor Abram Nesbitt, II. �Giving GIVIN Wilkes U rve sit 2003 Annual Report of Gifts 6 TheJohn Wilkes Club Trustee Associates Richard L Bunn 55 Esther B.

May •Deceased F- MARKS OF EXCELLENCE ABOVE & BEYOND 1 A filkes employees inspire minds, enrich souls, and provide invaluable services to our stu­ dents. That's what they get paid to do, but mem­ bers of the Wilkes family also go above and beyond the duties and responsibilities listed in their job description and find it in their hearts and paychecks to financially support the students they serve every day. A new strategy that mobilized employee leaders to solicit their peers has been positively received and is helping to create a culture of employee giv­ ing. Over the past three years, participation in the University Family campaign has increased dramat­ ically—from 23 to 92 percent. This special cam­ paign continues to grow in percentage and serves as a direct reflection of the commitment of Wilkes employees to support students above and beyond the services and knowledge they provide. Special thanks to Joe Mangan and the Facilities Management Division (above) for securing 100% participation for the 2004 campaign among the security, custodial and maintenance teams—a remarkable effort from a wonderful group of men and women! �Giving by Constituency AmyA.Mbye Jeffrey V McNamara Theresa E Menhennelt Attio Mcnichini Mary Ann T.

Continuing a long-standing tradition of class giving at Wilkes, members of the class pledged nearly S2.000 to fund repainting of the railroad trestle adjacent to Raltson Held. The trestle was painted with Wilkes colors several years ago and has served as a gateway to those attending athletic events at the athelic complex. But it is showing age and deterioration (above). The newly painted trestle will have a bright new look and provide a warm and friendly welcome to students, alumni, and friends attending athletic events at the sports complex. The class gift will also serve as a reminder of all they learned and experienced as students at Wilkes and help to establish a tangible and lasting connection with their alma mater. They provide the seeds of philanthropy and the beginnings of lifetime giving to Wilkes. A very special thanks to the Class of 2003 donors. Farley Associates Stacey 5.

MARKS OF EXCELLENCE Urban Studies Center 1A fiikes is in the final stages of an effort to estab­ lish an Urban Studies Center that will provide research, analysis and consultation in support of the revitalization in Wilkes-Barre and other cities. The Center's primary mission will be to help reinvigorate Wilkes-Barre into a thriving place to live and work by providing intellectual capital, analysis and best practice thinking to its problems and opportunities. In addition, the center will be proactive in bringing together key constituencies from the area and beyond to develop a vision and an action plan for their efforts. The revitalization of Wilkes-Barre will serve as a test case for the Urban Center. Within five years the Center will become self-sustaining through marketing its services to other cities and regions. The University has secured a portion of the seed funding to establish the center, and is seeking to attract additional financial supporters to help underwrite the first several years of operation. The project was initiated through a gift from Wilkes alumnus Bill Montague '68 and his wife, Susan. Recognizing their inextricable link to downtown Wilkes-Barre, College Misericordia, King's College, Luzerne County Community College and Penn State Wilkes-Barre are partnering in the effort to establish and operate the center. "The first five years of the center's operation will be a critical time of outreach and growth," said Wilkes University Vice President for Advancement Dawn Atwater-Haight "By partnering with those who are passionate about rebuilding this region, we hope to provide the funding necessary to secure the center's long-term success." The concept was the topic of a March 27 Wilkes University President's Breakfast during which nationally rec- F w A I k I li Th/epVlta"ZatlOn eXpert Dr'John Gilderbloom (pictured above, center, with Trustee Eugene Roth XXdown* T n?m Gilm0Ur and Bi" and Susan Montague) outlined the success of a center in revitalizing downtown Louisville, Kentucky. �Non-Profit Org U.S. Postage PAID Wilkes University Wilkes University Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 www. wilkes. edu WILKES UNIVERSITY Tfie power of independent thinking0 Change Service Requested Im IIlullillimlliiltilml li I ii Him illiillmiillllllrlll #BYNSDPG #0001 6993 5# Mr. & Mrs. Bernard J.

As a child, Roya Fahmy peeked into a Wilkes classroom where her father was teaching. A lew short years later, she found herself on the other side ol the door. A first-generation college student, Doris G. Bartuska M.D., credits her family with encouraging her from an early age to attain an education beyond high-school. One of only three women in the entire summer o?.-.sion, Bartuska enrolled at Bl JJC. 2 From an early age, she wanted to attend Wilkes because it fell like home. Her parents took her to theater produc­ tions and she attended Wilkes’ theater summer camp. “I enjoyed the freedom al Wilkes to lake a variety of classes, meet different people, and evolve — experiences that prepared me for adapting io new situa­ tions," she explained. Early on, Fahmy realized her life’s ambition would be to help heal people through the arts. Following graduation, Fahmy attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and acted in Los Angeles. When she and husband Daniel Swartz moved to Washington. D.C., she joined New Horizons, which brings drama produc­ tions to Childrens Hospital patients, and Seeds of Peace, where war-area children undergo conflict resolution classes incor­ porating drama. Post-9/11, Swartz created Visions of Tolerance, a program using creative arts among youth of different cultures. She also appeared in the play “The Apostate,” about Middle Eastern conflict. Swartz, w’ho earned an M.S.W. from the University of Maryland, now focuses on her three-year-old daughter, believing that education takes on a variety of forms and continues throughout life.

As part of an elaborate registration process, 130 former Wilkes wrestlers were each adorned with a commemorative pin and nametag which featured their own picture. After competing a short reunion "quiz.' they proceeded to the Marts Center to cele­ brate the 75th birthday of former coach John Reese, who holds the 3rd win­ ningest wrestling record in NCAA history. “Our reasons for coming back were two-fold: to see John and to see each other." said Joe Wiendl '69. "It was an ideal time to honor the man who put together such a quality program at our small school. As a private school, it was hard to bring and keep good athletes who could get a scholarship to play at larger school. Wilkes' wrestlers would have got­ ten lost at a large schools. John’s players blossomed because they had such a great coach. The people he helped over the years think so much of him."

They know how to experience the joy, inner satisfaction and sense of peace that giving offers. Gifts may come from those who have millions or those who live paycheck to paycheck. The overwhelming success of ETF was directly related to all who make up the Wilkes family. Students supported the Senior Class Gift. Local businesses con­ tributed to the Community Business Campaign. Alumni and friends pushed the Wilkes Fund (formerly referred to as the Annual Fund) past its 5748,000 goal, with gifts totaling $850,496.93, as well as giving specifically to the capital campaign. Last year, Wilkes employees gave a record number of gifts to the University Family Campaign. Eighty-five percent of our workers gave their hard-earned money back to support Wilkes. This year, we are closing in on receiving gifts from 90% of our workforce. This is a milestone for institutional giving and is important in that it shows that the people who work here care. Others have not yet come to this point. They will forever feel insecure in the fear that they don’t have quite enough to give or that what they can give won’t make a difference. The truth is that every gift mat­ ters, no matter what the dollar amount is. Many others haven’t developed a philan­ thropic value system.. .yet. It is foreign to them to even consider a gift, even if they attended Wilkes on a scholarship that someone else provided. Somehow philan­ thropy doesn’t quite add up for them. But now back to Issy Edelstein. He gave because he believed his money would give opportunity to those who would not be able to receive an education without it. He believed that education is the key to a “better life.” Simply put, he cared. The joy of my job and the people who work in Development is not finishing a campaign, although it is nice. But actually the real joy comes from knowing there are people out there who care that much for others, and act on it. So. on behalf of President Gilmour, the entire Advancement staff, and Wilkes University, thank you. L> I Ed McDonald ‘69 Donald D. McFadden '56 Robert C.

In the middle of March, on one of those bleak pre-spring days when ones hopes can start to plunge, we received a call from Allan Kluger, a local attorney and friend of Wilkes. He called to let us know that we were about to receive a substantial sum, close to $1 million from Issy Edelstein’s will. As we were to understand it, Mr. Edelstein had never attended Wilkes or had ever been involved in the life of the school. Why then did he give us such a wonderful gift? Every day I meet people who give or don’t give to Wilkes. Some people are pas­ sionate about their giving. They remember what Wilkes did for them personally or professionally.

This year’s conference brought many alumni back to campus, showing the 220 high school students the achievements possible with a Wilkes education. Wayne Henninger ’89, founder and owner of the public relations agency Stately Wayne Manor, of Silver Spring, Md., relayed to conference goers and Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall’s PR Agency class his experiences owning a PR firm and writing for ESPN — The Magazine and Sports Business Journal. Henninger praised current students’ hands-on learning. “1 Wilkes’ student-run PR group] Zebra Communications is an amazing organization and the work they do is outstanding," he said. Will Taylor ’00 agreed with the importance of co-curncular activities. “That’s where you learn to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom," he explained. Taylor, former editor at NBA TV, covered spons media. Gary Fabiano ’89, also a former speak­ er in Frantz’s classes, addressed interna­ tional photojournalism and his coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian War. “In my Research Methods class and at the Conference, he communicated a passion for knowing the world that no book could ever fully reflect,” said Frantz. “Students walk out of his sessions wide-eyed.” Tom Zuback ’89, a celebrity/event photojoumalist and film set photographer, offered first-hand insight into the practical issues of freelancing. CONNECTIONS THAT LAST, CURRICULUM THAT EVOLVES The booming Communication Studies Program is indicative of the quality of its faculty and staff, who encourage alumni to maintain ties with Wilkes. Students take pride in the attention they receive and rely’ on faculty for career guidance, “Without their knowledge, career advice, and believing in me, I wouldn’t be as successful as 1 am today” affirmed Taylor. In 1999, the department began a curricular review geared to prepare graduates for a highly competitive job market. Department concentrations include rhetoric and public communica­ tion, organizational communication and public relations, telecommunications, and journalism. “Our alumni and current students have played major roles in the growth of the program,” explained Elmes-Crahall. From day one, students can assume responsibilities in the Shelburne Telecommunications Studio, the WCLH radio station, and The Beacon weekly news­ paper. She further explained that majors enroll in “advanced” courses, applying theo­ ry to “real world” co-curriculars, including a literary magazine, Zebras account teams, original television shows, or public service announcements. This first-hand knowledge gives Wilkes graduates an edge over their peers in the professional world. “Many internship supervisors and employers tell us Communication students have the equivalent of 1-2 years full-time experience by the time they graduate.” said Elmes-Crahall. About one-quarter of our students go directly to graduate school. Clearly, Wilkes graduates can compete for jobs and admission to graduate programs across the country.” I*.

Dr. Les Turoczi has retired after 30 years of sen-ice, 22 as chair. Fortunately for all of us. he has agreed to continue to work with our senior research students and to advise our premedical scholars on a part-time basis. As so often in the past, a great many improvements and initiatives were implemented under Dr. Turoczis able leadership. We are particularly excited about our new state-of-the-art bioinformatics laboratory; a new 50-k greenhouse, a new media center, a Molecular Structure Lab in Chemistry, our new chapter of Beta. Beta, Beta, the National Biological Honor Society, new affiliations in the health sciences, two new chemistrv faculty, and 51.5 million in current research and educational grams. Above all, we are most proud of our students and graduates, whose accomplishments in sci­ ence and medicine continue to sei the standard. In dedication to Dr. Turoczis long sendee, we proudly share with you just a few of the Divisions recent successes. — Dr Michael A. Steele GENOMICS RESEARCH FACILITY TO HONOR DR. LES TUROCZI The Biology and Chemistry departments, in collaboration with the Advancement Division, are proud to announce plans for the development of a Genomics Research Center to honor Dr. Turoczfc many years of service. The facility will aid faculty and student research efforts as well as various instructional activities. Techniques and tools developed for the human genome project today allow the study of living organisms in ways that were previously unimaginable. Training in the use and capabilities of these cutting-edge techniques and tools such as DNA micro arrays fgene chips), fingerprinting.. and sequencing are not just desirable for their students, but essentiaL Several of our students and faculty are currently engaged in research involving these rather sophisticated genetic and molecular techniques. However. much of this work is earned our tn collaboration with colleagues at major research facilities By establishing our own center with some ofthc latest equipment (developed only m the Iasi 5 years) we can prov.de expenthat are simply not available to undergraduates at other institutions acrc-.s the nation, and at the same lime expand our research and funding opportunities 8 efforts of two teams of Wilkes seniors. One team of Biology' majors spent the year perfecting the On-Line Taxonomic Key to the plants of the Kirby Park Natural Area. The key uses a series of illustrated web pages to help users identify more than 100 trees, vines, wildflowers and grasses found in the park. The overall design of the key, and the system used for identification, were developed by the Wilkes team. The second team of Computer Science majors developed a prototype of a condensed ver­ sion of the key that allows the user to answer a series of questions on a single web page. The user then submits the form to the Wilkes computer, which responds with a list of plants that best fit the charac­ teristics. The on-line key can be found at the website: wilhesl.wilkes.ccki/~hirbypl/ Specifically, the Genomics Research Lab Initiative will help the University acquire the following equipment: an Automated DNA analyzer, a Micro Array Spotter, a Gene Array Reader for screening large numbers of samples, and a research Centrifuge to help prepare samples for DNA analysis. Eventually all graduates entering the environmental or health science fields, or pursuing post baccalaureate training, will be expected to engage in sophisticated levels of research. Such a facility' would help put Wilkes biology' students far ahead of the curve. Approximately $250,000 is needed to purchase this equipment, with an addi­ tional 5400,000 to endow the lab in perpe­ tuity in honor of Dr. Lester Turoczi. Pending initial support, we are planning to submil a proposal to the Kresge Foundation to finance a portion of the fund. Financial gifts will both honor Dr. Turoczi and support cutting-edge research technology for all Wilkes students. THE OAK PROJECT: A multidisciplinary opportunity In 1999, biologists Steele and Dr. William Terzaghi were awarded a fourycar grant from the National ^.;ence foundation to investigate the squirrels and mice on the dispersal and regeneration of oaks. Conducted in collab oration with colleagues at State College (PSU) and the University of Richmond, the multidisciplinary investigation involve) a range of behavioral, ecological, and physj. ological studies to investigate how animals determine the structure of oak forests across North America. The study also relies on advanced molecular techniques (paternity analysis with DNA fingerprint­ ing) to determine the spatial and genetic structure of oak forests. To date, the study has involved more than 50 undergraduates in various phases of the research, many of whom have been awarded assistantships for doctoral programs, grants, summer internships, and fellowships and co-authored peer-reviewed papers and presented at more than six state, national, and international conferences. The project also has provided summer salaries for 25 undergraduates who, over the past three years, have analyzed DNA from more than 2,000 trees and traveled throughout the country logging more than 20,000 LIQUIDS AND AMORPHOUS ALLOYS WILKES TEAMS CREATE 21ST-CENTURY PLANT IDENTIFICATION TOOL Imagine strolling through a local park and stumbling upon an attractive blue wildflower.

The results of the Investigations of Room-temperature Ionic Liquid project will provide a better fundamental understand­ ing of the nature of solvents and the effects of solvents on solute molecules. Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride (table salt), typically exist as solids at room temperature. However, some ionic sub­ stances exist as liquids, sometimes called melts. This provides an opportunity to explore the fundamental properties of ionic melts at room temperature instead of operating above the melting points of the more common ionic compounds. Characterization oj Amorphous Ni-X-P Alloys Prepared by Electroless Deposition from both Acidic and Basic Solution is just beginning, but ultimately will offer a better fundamental understanding of amorphous materials and alloy behavior. The alloys are of interest for their unique physical proper­ ties. Through this process, alloys will be prepared that cannot be prepared by tradi­ tional methods of alloying and will yield materials with properties not found in crystalline alloys of the same composition. ON THE HORIZON FOR HEALTH SCIENCES A committee of faculty and students has begun planning for Wilkes’ Distinguished Lecturer in the Health Sciences presentation on October 3rd, and the Fourth Annual Premed Day on October 4th. On Premed Day, high school students interested in doctoral health care profes­ sions learn what Wilkes has to offer. The Distinguished Lecturer Series brings cele­ brated alumni back to discuss a topic of interest m health care with Wilkes stu­ dents and the community. This fall, Wilkes wall also welcome a number of Premedical Scholars to campus as pan of its combined B.SJM.D. programs with MCP-Hahnemann University School of Medicine, Penn State Hershey College of Medicine, and SUNY Upstate Medical University’. The new Scholars include three students from New York and four students from Pennsylvania.

I* I 11 �CALL SHAWN PROHASKA A 21ST-CENTURY ENTREPRENEUR. The 35yeai •-old business owner and Wilkes MBA graduate possesses all the qualities befitting of the title: confidence, discipline, persist­ ence, and drive. But Prohaska is one of a growing number of business owners and professionals who have taken this uncon­ ventional discipline to a new level through formal study at the university level. In business division courses offered in cooperation with the University’s Allan P Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, Prohaska developed skills that helped him grow one business and launch a second, with plans for fran­ chises throughout eastern Pennsylvania. When he staned his studies, Prohaska’s first company, Invisible Fence of Northeastern Pennsylvania, was already an established two-year-old business. Like “Being able io sell is the key to entrepreneurship... and if you cannot sell, you do not eat.” most small business owners, his focus was on increasing sales, paying his debts, and pleasing his clients and employees. “It is the nature of an entrepreneur to not want to look at the bottom line for two reasons— fear of failure and fear of success," he says. “The Independent Research Profit & Loss study 1 did really made me look at the numbers side of the business. This number crunching helped me realize that I had the ability to grow the business by adding more equipment and labor, and then add the next business, No-Bum Fire Retardant, this July.” In todays intensely competitive global business climate, formal entrepreneurship education is becoming essential to the preparation of business professionals of all types. The approach centers on teaching students how businesses succeed so that they can identify and evaluate opportuni­ ties and develop the self-confidence to act before others do. Studies indicate that these traits, coupled with effective communication skills and team leadership abilities, are highly valued by employers. More than 70 percent of business leaders responding to a recent survey by management consulting firm Accenture indicated that entrepreneurship is an essential quality in their employees. “Businesses have discovered that students with exposure to entrepreneurial practices and attitudes contribute earlier tn their careers and provide greater impact than those with no background in �PROFILE PROFILE !I1B with professors and professionals alike 11 develop their skills through daily practic • The benefits for alumni like Prohaska extend well beyond graduation day.

Kirby, Jr Professor for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. “Organizations of all types have told educational institutions that they need creative, critically thinking employees who can communicate effectively; In 1994, Wukes recognized that need, and established the Allan E Kuby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. The Center is Funded through contribu­ tions by benefactor Allan P. Kirby, jr.. who named the center in honor of his father. An entrepreneurship concentration in the business program soon followed. Prohaska feels “the difference between traditional busmess courses and entrepre­ neurship courses is the mindset. You need io be personally affected by the opportunity to be truly successful at rc" The Wdkes program offers students the chance to apply concepts learned in core business courses to the entrepreneur­ ial process Alves calls ths approach the “three Ds' of opportunity: discovering. developing, and doing. Discovering covers rhe creative and innovation processes with the goal of developing an ability to recog­ nize opportunities that might create value or improvement Developing includes the process of understanding the market and economic feasibility of an opportunity and then identifying the resources to take advantage of the opportunity through feasibility analysis and business plan creation. Doing involves launching and growing the enterprise. The program teaches students to apply knowledge and critical thinking skills in real-life situations so that they are prepared to make immediate contributions to any organization, whether a start-up or Fortune 500 envi­ ronment. This approach reflects the new attitude toward work described in William Bridges’ 1995 book. Job Shift, which Fortune magazine used as the source for its cover story; “The End of the Job. In his study of todays workplace, Bridges asserts that graduates need to understand their strengths and adapt them to serve the marketplace. “Todays workers need to forget the concept of jobs completely and look instead for work that needs doing,” he writes, “then set themselves up as the best way to get that work done.” Although entrepreneurship is often thought of as a solitary pursuit undertak­ en by lone inventors such as Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, or even Bill Gates, it in fact is a highly collaborative discipline that requires mentorship, guid­ ance, and interaction with others, says Alves That approach is evident in the Wilkes program, where students work coach. I can turn to him when I need advice on many different business sub­ jects. And I think he has enjoyed watching me grow as an entrepreneur.” Educational institutions throughout the nation are beginning to recognize the value of entrepreneurship education. But development of programs that embrace this emerging approach has been slow, says Anthony Liuzzo J.D., Ph.D., Director of Wilkes’ Business Division. “When we look around nationally, thei:re are few schools that have in place firm majors and minors in entrepreneurship,” says Liuzzo. “Some have courses in small business and such, but not full programs." Currently, Wilkes is the only universi­ ty-based program in Northeastern Pennsylvania that goes beyond a single course or internship in entrepreneurship, adds Liuzzo. The uniqueness of the Wilkes program is helping the University carve out a niche among its competitors in higher education. Both Liuzzo and Alves hope to expand the University’s offerings to include a major and minor program in entrepreneurship The interdisciplinary curriculum would be attractive to students from all majors who want to develop their entrepreneurial skills. Prohaska believes that it is a sound approach, adding that courses in practical areas such as salesmanship might greatly enhance students’ abilities. “Being able to sell is the key to emrepreneurship,” he says. “You must believe in your product enough to get out and sell it to the world. And if you cannot sell, you do not eat." “Its ironic that you read that many of the great entrepreneurs dropped out of college," he adds. “Maybe if they had an entrepreneur degree available to them, they would have finished their formal education." The difference between traditional business c ourses and enuepreneurehip course sis the mindset.

By Ralph Nardone Since the days of the Industnal Revolution, entrepreneurship has been part of the fabric that binds our society. Entrepreneurs fuel the economy, create jobs, improve our quality of life, and cre­ ate new wealth for reinvestment in America. Success depends upon vision, resolve, drive, a strong work ethic, and the desire to go to great lengths to get the job done. These five alumni entrepreneurs, and many more just like them, know what it takes to be a success. BOBBI KNEZEK Bobbi (Barbara) Knezek 71, partner of WD Communications (with offices in Red Bank, NJ.; Newark, Delaware; and Charlotte, N.C.), works with employers of all industries to train their staffs in writing, speaking, customer service, and interper­ sonal communications. Following gradua­ tion from Wilkes, Knezek worked as an elementary school teacher, college instruc­ tor, and writer. During her career, she got together with three other women to start WD Communications. “We were four working mothers teach­ ing at a community college who agreed that the course work was not always enough for succeeding in business. We saw an opportunity to help people with our skills,” she says. “We created training seminars during our personal time and started presenting them to employers to BOBBI KNEZEK, WITH HER PARTNERS IN WD COMMUNICATIONS, LEADS TRAINING SEMI­ NARS TO TEACH COMPANIES' EMPLOYEES HOW TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY. improve their employee productivity. We were fortunate to be able to gel started with very little investment. We did not need a lot of equipment, just the free­ dom to fly or fail." WD Communications (www.wdcommunications.com) steadily grew and is now in its 20th year and serves customers in the United States and internationally. Knezek says successful entrepreneurship requires a “can do attitude.” She points out an entre­ preneur has to be willing and able to work long hours and remain flexible to deal with the unexpected and the unscheduled. “You have to be able to stay on top of the changing needs of your marketplace," she adds. “Listen to your customers, make sound suggestions, and climb mountains for them if necessary and they will reward you. We let our clients help us grow.” SCOTT WIENER Scott Wiener ’80, who runs three successful chiropractic and physical therapy practices in Valencia, California, echoes Knezek’s sentiments. Over the 20 years of operation, his practices have made many adjustments to meet the changing needs of the market. “We added physical therapy, preand post-surgery rehab, athletic training, massage therapy, and acupuncture because of the feedback we got from our patients," he says. He emphasizes that an entrepreneur can ensure success by learning what the customers want through research done every day. “An entrepreneur has the ability to be hands-on with his customers and communicate with them face-to-face to find out what they need. And, as Wiener found out, the research doesn’t stop once the business becomes established. He recommends that entre­ preneurs become involved in community and professional groups to stay on top of market changes. “Join ‘networking clubs' and become involved," he says. “This allows you many opportunities to promote your business and let your customers know you arc involved in the community. It also boosts your name recognition in their minds, which is a powerful marketing tool." His advice for Wilkes' students looking to be their own bosses? “Slav positive and FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, DR.

He and wife Rhea took over the family business after the passing of his parents in 1994 and 1995. Described by Cianfichi as a “small mom and pop place," Vince the Pizza Prince is a staple of the Scranton. Pa. community. “Small businesses like this are the fabric of America," he says. “For even' one Wal-Mart or Home Depot, there arc a hun­ dred little businesses that provide impor­ tant sendees across the country —jobs for young people, support for their local com­ munities, and a sen-ice that people enjoy “ After spending just a little while at their shop on Pittston Ave., it is clear what makes Vince the Pizza Prince so popular.

My mother also played a very influential role in my life.” That endearing partnership continues with Vince, the man up from, and Rhea, the business savvy one who handles book­ keeping. paperwork, and keeping the business in the black.

Glace '54, Vice President of Research and Production for Den-Mat Corporation in Santa Maria, California, recently received his 21st patent for a novel peroxide-containing toothpaste, marketed by the company as Rembrandt Dazzling White, Among the other 20 patents he holds, he is the owner of the famous Rembrandt Toothpaste patent. A chemistry graduate, all of Glace's patents involve dental materials — mostly for restorative materials, some for consumer products, and some for manufacturing processes. According to Glace, securing a patent takes a great deal of hard work. "Thomas Edison said that invention is one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenths perspiration. He was right," explained Glace. "In practice, a good patent attorney is essential, and we have had some of the best. It also takes time and perseverance. The Rembrandt patent took six years between filing and issuance. During that time the patent examiner finds reasons that the patent should not issue, and the inventor, with the help of his attorney, tries to convince him/her that it should be issued." Glace spent the first 17 years of his career working for giant corporations, then spent five years working for two different entrepreneurs. He joined Den-Mat in 1974, when it was just getting off the ground. At that time, he was the only full-time employee, but had two or three part-timers. Under the Marketing genius of company President Dr. Robert Ibsen, Den-Mat grew rapidly. Glace is currently responsible for all research and development and reflulatory affairs and is a consultant to the production department. �MILESTONES MILESTONES t TRUSTEE CLOSE-UP: Jack Miller '68 Honored al Ellis Island Ceremony For representing the essence of the American way of life and contributing greatly to our national identity.
