Core Values Award Honors Penguins

Activist Herefor NativeAmerican

Day

PLCB Grant Boosts Options@CalU

Cal U recognized its ongoing partnership with thePittsburgh Penguins by presenting the hockeyclub with the Corporate Core Values Award on

Oct. 20 at CONSOL Energy Center. The award honors a corporation, organization or

institution that epitomizes the University’s core values ofintegrity, civility and responsibility.

It recognizes the Penguins for supporting theUniversity’s mission by creating character- and career-building opportunities for Cal U students.

Cal U is the official educational partner of thePittsburgh Penguins. Through this continuing partnershipthe Penguins have created scholarships, made internshipsand other resume-building activities available to Cal Ustudents, and provided unique marketing opportunitiesfor the University.

Cal U President Angelo Armenti, Jr. presented theCorporate Core Values Award to David Peart, a seniorvice president for the Penguins, during a ceremony andnews conference in the Cal U Conference Center atCONSOL Energy Center.

He handed Peart a ship’s compass, which he saidsymbolizes the organization’s “ongoing efforts to movealways in the right direction, and to live by the corevalues of integrity, civility and responsibility that alsoguide Cal U.”

“Since our relationship began in 2009, the Penguinsorganization has gone out of its way to support Cal U’smission of building character and careers,” PresidentArmenti said.

“The Penguins have stepped up to help students withan endowed scholarship and exciting internships. Weknow they can pay off, because two of our Cal Ugraduates have found jobs with the Penguins.”

Peart said the Penguins are proud of their partnershipwith Cal U, which he described as “an innovative andprogressive organization.”

Peart said the partnership supports the Penguins’commitment to giving back to the community and allowsthe franchise to be actively involved with education,especially in areas related to business and sports.

“Cal U helps us invest in the youth of the region, andwe are glad to help provide support for students gettingan education at Cal U,” Peart said.

“We can have student rushes and grassroots events toinvite kids to games. But it doesn’t give us theopportunity to really connect with students who aretrying to learn how to be in the sports or entertainmentbusiness, and that’s why this is a special partnership.”

Allison Steinheiser, a junior communication studiesmajor at Cal U, attended the award presentation with ateam of student journalists from CUTV and the CalTimes. Steinheiser, whose studies emphasize radio andtelevision, also has an internship with Penguins Radio24/7. Twice a week she helps to set up equipment for the

morning show, and she records soundbites from Pensplayers after games and practices.

“It’s really a great experience,” she said. “This kind ofhands-on interaction is something that a lot of studentsdon’t get, even if you’re working with a regular TV orradio station. There are many opportunities in workingwith the Penguins, and this is giving me a significantadvantage.”

This is the third time that California University hashonored a business or organization with its CorporateCore Values Award. Dr. Stephen R. Covey accepted theinaugural award on behalf of the FranklinCovey Corp.in 2006. Monongahela Valley Hospital received theaward in 2008.

Adiscussion with Dr. LaDonnaHarris, founder and president ofthe advocacy group Americans for

Indian Opportunity (AIO), will be thecapstone event at Cal U’s second annualNative American Day on Wednesday.

A member of the Comanche Nationand an ardent advocate on behalf of TribalAmerica, Harris is a longtime activist in theareas of civil rights, environmentalprotection, the women’s movement andworld peace.

She will discuss “The Power ofIndigenous Female Leadership” at 7 p.m.Wednesday in Steele Hall.

The talk is free and open to the public;no tickets are required. A reception andbook signing will follow.

This year’s Native American Day also — Continued on page 3

Cal U has received an AlcoholEducation Grant of nearly$15,000 from the Pennsylvania

Liquor Control Board to improve andexpand the Options@CalU preventionprogram.

A peer educators program thatbegan with a similar grant last year,Options@CalU provides interactiveprogramming and education to reduceunderage and dangerous drinking,especially among first-year students.

“People around campus know whowe are,” said Donna George, Cal U’salcohol and other drug preventionspecialist. “We’re getting many callsfrom various groups asking our peereducators to conduct programs.”

The grant will be used to develop astandardized evaluation tool with aconsultant, to expand theOptions@CalU program to 16 peereducators, and to provide the programwith a graduate assistant, among otherneeds.

The peer educators are certifiedthrough BACCHUS (Boosting AlcoholConsciousness Concerning the Health

of University Students) to assist inprevention efforts. Trained inprevention, education, mentoring andmotivational interviewing, a proventechnique for helping people stop risky

behavior, these students give fun,interactive presentations to variousstudent groups throughout the year

will participate in a 15-hour, off-campusprogram Nov. 4-6. Second-year peereducators from Cal U will administerpart of their training.

“That’s exciting, because it showsgrowth and the whole concept of peereducation,” George said.

Options@CalU conducted 10programs last year. To meet PLCB grantrequirements, that number will doublethis year.

Peer educators already havepresented educational programs in fourclasses and met with a sorority and avarsity athletic team by request duringNational Collegiate Alcohol AwarenessWeek.

They also took part in Project StickerShock, aimed at discouraging adultsfrom providing beer to minors.

One of many popular studentprograms is the “tiki bar,” whichtransforms a residence hall’s TV loungeinto a simulated tavern with dim lights,music, palm trees and a “bartender”who explains blood alcohol content.

Options@CalU also educatesstudents about social norms, remindingthem that “25 percent of Cal U studentshave not consumed alcohol in the pastyear” and “Under 20 percent of Cal Ustudents believe that alcohol makes amale or female sexy.”

“It causes (students) to think …because these norms are reality,” George

said. “First-year students often get thewrong perception from the media oreven their parents. The fact is, the partyis not as big as they think it is. We try togive them the real message.”

Studies predict that college studentswho drink alcohol soon will be theminority, George said. Students areincreasingly health conscious, and theyunderstand the career risks involved inalcohol use.

“If you’re under 21 and choose todrink, you’re running the risk of offensesthat could not only affect your varsitystatus on a team but could negativelyaffect your future,” she said.

“Students sometime think aspiringteachers are the only ones affected, butthere are a lot of careers that can beimpacted.”

Options@CalU’s peer educators alsoare working with Student Affairs toprovide alternative activities, includinglate-night programming, which Georgelabeled “prevention at its best.”

Although the group is still in its earlystages, George said she’s pleased withwhat Options@CalU has accomplished.

“We got such a good start last year,and more and people are coming onboard. The future is exciting, becausethere’s so much more to do.”

Standing UnitedCal U students Anthony Kane (left)and Ronald Taylor hold paper heartsat a vigil held Oct. 17 near theVulcan statue to take a standagainst violence and rememberHampton University student JeronGrayson and Cal U students wholost their lives in the past year. Thevigil was organized by members ofOmega Psi Phi, Cal U Men Unitedand the Black Student Union.Approximately 100 studentsattended the event, at whichspeakers urged students to beproactive in ensuring Cal U remainsa safe learning environment.

The fall’s second presentation bythe Department of Theatre andDance showcases the talents of

Cal U’s newest crop of aspiring actorsand technicians.

First-year students will appearonstage and work behind the scenes topresent “Saving the Greeks, OneTragedy at a Time,” a comedy by JasonPizzarello.

Curtain time is 8 p.m. Thursday andFriday, and 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday.All performances will take place in theGerald and Carolyn Blaney Theatre inSteele Hall.

“Saving the Greeks” is a breezycomedy full of laugh-out-loudmerriment that pays homage to themelodramatic absurdity that is Greektragedy.

The audience follows the story ofDialysis and his downtrodden slave,Peon, as they try to right all the wrongsdone to the pitiful citizens of Athens.

Their efforts lead them to createBetterland, a city where formerlydoomed tragedians can start their livesover again, free from the misfortunes oftheir previous existence. Traveling fromtragedy to tragedy, Dialysis and Peongather inhabitants for their new utopia.

With a script filled with drollwitticisms, amusing one-liners andgroaning wordplay, this comedy issuitable for all ages. It turns the Greektragedy genre on its ear, gleefullyexploiting the farcical possibilities andmining its rich comedic potential

Cost is $12. Students with validCalCards are admitted free; their $5deposit will be returned when theyattend the performance.

Students from Cal U and high school students fromthe Agape day treatment program in Monessenvisited beer distributors on Oct. 19 to deliver a

message aimed at discouraging underage drinking.About a dozen students placed stickers on cases of

beer to remind adults that it is illegal to buy or providealcohol for anyone younger than 21.

The activity, dubbed Project Sticker Shock, wasendorsed by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. Itmarked National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, anationwide effort to raise awareness about the healthissues posed by excessive drinking among college students.

Students involved in Project Sticker Shock visited Val’sBeer Distributor in Belle Vernon and J&D BeerDistributor in Brownsville.

The event was sponsored by the Cal AOD (Alcohol

and Other Drug) Coalition, which brings University andcommunity members together to support Cal U’scomprehensive prevention plan and to build a campus andcommunity culture focused on reducing incidentsinvolving alcohol and other drugs.

Cal U student volunteers participating in ProjectSticker Shock are members of the Options@CalU peereducator program.

“Our coalition is getting more involved inenvironmental management strategies,” said DonnaGeorge, the alcohol and other drug prevention specialist atCal U.

“In addition to educating our Cal U students andmentoring younger students, this project sends animportant message to the entire community: It is illegal tobuy or provide alcohol for anyone under 21.”

LaDonna Harris

Dr. LaDonna Harris will be thefeatured speaker at the secondannual Native American Day onWednesday.

Both art and science will be ondisplay when Cal U hosts“Reflections: Homage to Dunkard

Creek” from Nov. 10 through Dec. 8 inthe lobby of Frich Hall.

The collaborative exhibition by 90regional artists recalls a massive fish killin the West Virginia-Pennsylvaniawaterway in 2009.

Each of the artists painted one speciesof aquatic life killed in the DunkardCreek incident, which has been blamedon pollution and the release of toxinsfrom golden algae, a non-nativeorganism.

The artists’ subjects were drawn fromWest Virginia Department of NaturalResources lists of fish, crayfish andmussel species killed, as well as insectpopulations that dropped significantlyafter the algae bloom.

Cal U is one of nine sites in theMonongahela watershed that will hostthe traveling exhibition, which issponsored by the Mountain InstituteAppalachia Program.

Cal U’s Office of Academic Affairswill host an opening reception from 5-8p.m. Nov. 10 in Frich Hall. It will beginwith a gallery talk by Ann Payne, ofMorgantown, a member of the Guild ofNatural Science Illustrators and the artistwho conceived and organized the project.

Curator for the exhibition in FrichHall is Maggy Aston, assistant professorof art and design at Cal U and one ofPayne’s former students.

A work by Jordan Wong, a student ofAston’s, is included in the exhibition. Hispiece depicts the johnny darter,Etheostoma nigrum, a bottom-feedingfreshwater fish.

A resident of Greensboro, Pa., just a

mile from Dunkard Creek, Aston hasenhanced the exhibition by collaboratingwith Cal U’s departments of Biologicaland Environmental Sciences, and Music.

The paintings will be viewed in anaquarium-like environment that includesglass display cases holding biologicalspecimens and a sound track of bird, frogand cricket calls. A large, collaborativemural depicts water, nature and industryin the Mon Valley.

Dr. David Argent, chair of theDepartment of Biological andEnvironmental Sciences, has beeninstrumental in collecting the specimens,providing display space and assemblingadditional glass cases for the exhibition,Aston said. Music Department chair

Max Gonano and faculty member GregDavis are working with commercialmusic technology students to create asoundtrack for the event.

Cal U students also contributed.Jessica Barton assisted Argent withidentifying and locating the specimens;Valerie Herrera helped to research,complete and install the collaborativemurals; Caitlin Sowers assisted withexhibition and mural installation; Wongdesigned and distributed posters andinvitations; and Christopher Campushelped collaborate with the digitalsoundtrack along with Barton.

“This exhibition is meant to raiseawareness of what happened at DunkardCreek,” said Aston. “It features many

nationally recognized artists who all havea concrete tie to the Monongahelawatershed, into which Dunkard Creekflows.”

Aston teaches a biological illustrationclass with Dr. Mark Tebbett, of theDepartment of Biological andEnvironmental Sciences. The course willbe offered again this spring, and Astonhopes the exhibition will attract art andscience students who might be interestedin biological illustration as a career.

“This continues the collaborationbetween departments,” Aston said. “The(illustration) course and exhibition pointto the idea that you can combine scienceand art as a career path.

“And with its live reptiles, amphibiansand greenhouse, Frich Hall has so manyinteresting things to draw. My studentslove it.”

Argent, whose research interestsinclude water quality, said he is delightedfor his department to be part of theexhibition.

“We welcome the opportunity todisplay biologically related art in ourbuilding,” he said. “Given the tragedy ofDunkard Creek, I could not pass up theopportunity to offer a venue in whichpatrons could see firsthand what specieswere lost, what the immediate ecologicalimpact was, and what the long-termrecovery will be for this stream.”

Th e opening reception is free to theUniversity community and the general public.Exhibit brochures will be available at thereception. “Reflections: Homage to DunkardCreek” will be on view from 8 a.m.-9 p.m.,Mondays through Fridays until Dec. 8 in thelobby of Frich Hall.

TENTATIVE AGENDA

Editor’s Note: Cal U held its 17th annualAthletic Hall of Fame Banquet Oct. 21 at thePerformance Center in the Natali StudentCenter. The Journal is profiling each of the2011 Hall of Fame inductees.

Antoine Bagwell played aninvaluable role in Cal U’semergence as a perennial football

power in his two-year career.A virtually unstoppable running back

during the 2004 and 2005 seasons,Bagwell earned first-team recognitionfrom the American Football CoachesAssociation (AFCA) and AssociatedPress Second Team All-American honorsin 2005. He also was a two-timeDaktronics Second-Team All-Americanand two-time Harlon Hill RegionalFinalist.

In just two years, Bagwell rushed for3,353 yards and scored 272 total points,with 41 rushing touchdowns, 45 overalltouchdowns and one two-pointconversion. Despite playing for only twoseasons, his career rushing, touchdownand scoring totals still rank second inschool history. He becomes the firstfootball player from the John Luckhardtcoaching era to be inducted into the Hallof Fame.

“Even though I played a little bit inthe NFL and CFL, this feels like thebiggest accomplishment in sports that hasever happened to me,” said Bagwell. “Itfeels very good.”

Bagwell’s 1,765 rushing yards and1,894 all-purpose yards in 2004 both

ranked second in NCAA Division II thatyear. He averaged 7.2 yards per carry andcaught 12 passes for 129 yards.

He scored a single-season, schoolrecord 25 touchdowns in 2005 and rushedfor 1,588 yards on just 186 carries with 21rushing scores.

Bagwell averaged an amazing 8.5yards per carry. He also was also Cal’sthird-leading receiver his senior seasonwith 28 receptions for 420 yards, four

touchdowns and one two-pointconversion. His 15.2 points per game wasthird best among all NCAA Division IIplayers and he ranked fifth in rushing(155.8) and all-purpose yards (206.2).

“We averaged 42 points per game, andevery week when we played we knew thebest player on the field was on our teamand that was Antoine,” said Mike Kellar,Cal U’s associate head coach for offense,who previously served as the team’soffensive coordinator from 2004-2008.

“We had great talent on both sides ofthe ball, but even the players knew he wasthe most special guy on the team.”

Bagwell’s explosive running helpedthe Vulcans win their first PSAC-Westtitle in 21 years. Cal’s 8-2 overall record(.800) in 2005 was the program’s bestsince the 1960 squad went 7-1 (.875). Andit started a trend: Heading into 2011, theVulcans and 10th-year head coach JohnLuckhardt have won or shared the pastsix consecutive PSAC-West crowns.

“To start from the bottom and seeeverything that’s happened in front of youcertainly makes you proud,” said Bagwell.“Because we started something that’s stillgoing on today and probably well into thefuture.”

Bagwell was selected as the PSAC-West Offensive Player of the Year in both2004 and 2005.

“Antoine is really where this thingstarted,” said Kellar.

“He was the beginning. A lot of greatplayers that came here after him sort ofstood on his shoulders and built upon

what he started.”Following his senior season Bagwell

was the first Vulcan ever invited to play inthe Hula Bowl, held in Hawaii. He alsocompeted in the Cactus Bowl, theDivision II All-Star game.

Bagwell attended training camp withthe NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles (2005) andSt. Louis Rams (2006), along with briefstints with the CFL’s Winnipeg andHamilton clubs.

Originally from East Lansing, Mich.,Bagwell is a graduate of East LansingHigh School, where he was a star runningback, safety, and track and field standout.

He was Cal’s running backs coachunder head coach John Luckhardt in2007, when the Vulcans compiled aschool-best 13-1 overall record.

Bagwell said the coaching experiencewas invaluable and lauded Kellar,Luckhardt and offensive line coach MikeEvans.

“If you asked them, I never reallyknew any defense when I played. Theyjust handed me the ball and I ran with it,”Bagwell said. “But when I came back, Igained so much knowledge and I startedto understand defenses. They helped meso much. I definitely will get back intocoaching, but I feel I have a couple ofyears left to play.”

Last spring Bagwell was the leadingreceiver for the Ultimate Indoor FootballLeague’s Johnstown Generals, with 51receptions for 660 yards and 18touchdowns. His total of 19 touchdownswas eighth highest in the league.

Running Back Launched New Era for Vulcans

In just two years, Antoine Bagwell rushedfor 3,353 yards and scored 45touchdowns while leading the 2005Vulcans to the program's first divisiontitle in 21 years.
