Yasmin De Jesus is an immensely talented young artist with big dreams for her future. “I want to travel the world and take in as much as I can,” she says. “I want to take those experiences and visually communicate them to people who may not have the same opportunity.”

Yasmin spends most of her time in the Annunciation Center, which offers courses and programs focusing on the arts, music, and theology. With new studios, Yasmin says, “I can stay as late as I want and work for hours. What I love about CSE is that I can really advance with the programs and guidance given by the professors. Todd Doney, a professor in the art department, has been especially influential.”

Yasmin also works in the Therese A. Maloney Art Gallery on campus. “Working in the art gallery has allowed me to understand how the art industry functions. I watch visitors interpret the work. I get to meet artists. It really gives me encouragement. This is the life I want to lead.”

Inspired to Create: YASMIN DE JESUS, ’13

See more of Yasmin’s work on page 7—she’s just one of the many students and faculty members you’ll discover in these pages who lead lives of inspiration!

Greetings from the College of Saint Elizabeth! As the 110th anniversary of the College draws to a close, we are reminded of the tremendous sacrifices that the Sisters of

Charity made when founding this institution. Without their inspired vision for the future, countless generations of students would not have benefitted from their careful planning and their dreams. Each day, I see the results of our founders’ work throughout the CSE community. We continue to be blessed by their inspiration and we are proud to carry on that tradition in our classrooms, residence halls, and on our athletic courts and fields.

The President’s Message conveys what is best and brightest about the College. The 2009-2010 academic year was a banner time on campus; and I am pleased to share these stories with you. In the following pages, we celebrate the “inspiration” behind the many students, faculty, and staff experiences from this past year.

As we continue planning for the upcoming fall semester, you may be aware of the challenges of the times, including the effects of the state budget cuts facing the independent colleges in New Jersey. Despite these obstacles, I find continued inspiration from the faculty, staff, and trustees who work tirelessly on behalf of the College. In addition, please accept my gratitude to the donors who continue to support the College year after year.

CSE students, Aracely Tagliaventi, ’10 and Diane Da Silva, ’11, who testified earlier this spring before the Senate Budget and Appropriations Hearing, certainly inspired us with their leadership and poise. They were up to the task of representing their peers and the College, captivating the assembled lawmakers and public officials with their thoughtful and professional testimony.

I am inspired by how the entire CSE community comes together to keep the community of learning whole—this fills me with tremendous gratitude and joy. It is with this spirit of cooperation and love for the mission of the College that we continue our work the Sisters envisioned so many, wonderful years ago.

Peace,

Sister Francis RafteryPresident

A Message from the President

Yasmin De Jesus is pictured here in a familiar pose, doing her artwork in the Annunciation Center. At right is an example of her sculpture work.

The College of Saint Elizabeth Greek Theatre was the inspiration of Sister Marie Victoire Corr, a Latin professor who supervised its construction in 1932. The campus community and friends have been inspired by the many memorable campus events held there throughout the decades.

FAN-tastic!Be on the lookout for the debut of CSE’s Facebook page. Stay connected with the College, even when you’re not on campus. The page will feature news, events, photos and more! Looking forward to seeing your “face” on our “page.”

Throughout the President’s Message you will discover stories about people who have been inspired by professors, students, and educational programs. Inspiration, however, often manifests itself from more than a single external source. The history of the College of Saint Elizabeth is woven with the stories of those who found their inspiration through the Spirit of God, leading them to achieve miracles, despite the obstacles they faced.

More than 110 years ago, a small band of sisters arrived at the foot of a hill, clutching only a statue of the Blessed Virgin and a $5 bill. From these humble beginnings,

this determined band of women established schools, hospitals, and one of the first institutions of higher learning for women in the United States, the College of Saint Elizabeth. They kept their eyes on the prize, knowing that they were being called to something greater than they could ever imagine. They had nothing with which to begin except their unshakeable belief that the divine presence of God existed within them. In the end, they had everything. That same spirit continues to breathe life into the students of the 21st century and serves as a driving force, leading the community of learners

both individually and collectively to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

The stories that follow tell tales of life-changing accomplishments, driven by inspiration. The profiles illustrate the many ways we ourselves can be inspired by their example. Irena Moore, ’10, a star athlete who never played volleyball before coming to CSE, finds that daily inspiration comes from her fellow students. Ashley Morris, ’08, ’10, the first graduate in the master’s program in justice administration and public service, credits her family and her professors for providing the stimulation to move forward and

realize her dreams. God and country were the motivation for Jolee Zanes, ’10, who served as a member of the United States Navy, exemplified by her commitment to help those affected by cultural clashes and genocide. CSE was the first college to offer an M.A. in Forensic Psychology and Counseling when James Winston, ’10, came to campus. He plans to perform assessments and evaluations for the courts when he receives his degree as one of the program’s first graduates.

Two of the College’s first doctoral students, Mary Rose Scalo, ‘05, ‘10, and William Carpluk, ’10, both inspired others by their strong commitment to leadership in the spirit of service. They were encouraged by the professors and the Ed.D. program itself, which emphasizes servant leadership. Julia Micciche Picinich, ’80, ‘09, has been an inspiration to her two young daughters by her example of never quitting anything she starts. She worked with fellow student and NFL player David Clowney, ’11, to teach

better eating habits to children at his camp in Florida, inspiring them to a healthy lifestyle. Teachers provided the direction for Yasmin De Jesus, ’13, first at Newark, N.J., Arts High School, then at CSE.

From generation to generation, the Spirit of God is active in the lives of the people who make up the landscape of CSE. As we continue to be open to that Spirit, let us pray for one another as we strive to be full partners in society for the transformation of our world.

CSE Students Find the Inspiration to Achieve Their Dreams

Inspiration is that indefinable quality that drives us forward, often against impossible odds. The origin of the word tells us that inspiration is something that comes from a source within. Its root meaning comes from the Latin word “inspirare,” meaning to breathe in. Individuals have often found inspiration in their surroundings. Their shared wisdom is passed on from generation to generation, much like the ancient Greeks and Romans influenced the writers and artists of the Renaissance, and how the precepts of our Founding Fathers influenced the society that we live and work in today.

The stories that follow tell tales of life-changing accomplishments, driven by inspiration. And through their example, these stories inspire us as well.

Inspired to Give Back: ASHLEY MoRRIS, ’08, ’10

Ashley Morris is in step to become the first graduate of the M.A. in Justice Administration and Public Service program this May.

She takes her education seriously, especially the public service component of the program. It’s a key part of her five year post-graduation plan, which includes opening a non-profit dance studio in an urban setting, and working with juveniles through the courts or social service agencies.

“I want to spread the word to students to further their

education and always give back…CSE is big on giving back,” Ashley says. Her experience on campus as an undergraduate, and now as a commuter graduate student, has been rich and rewarding. As she finishes her graduate coursework, she also works at the ARC of Morris County, located on the far end of campus. There, she helps disadvantaged students and their families. “I’m the type of person who really likes helping anyone I can…CSE has opened so many doors for me. It made me more open minded and diverse.”

Ashley’s journey to CSE began shortly after graduation as salutatorian of her class at Saint Anthony’s High School in Jersey City, N.J. She met a CSE admissions counselor at a college fair, visited campus, and fell in love. “It really feels like family here…It’s very personal…the professors really go beyond for their students.” The ability to combine her justice studies major with a minor in dance thrilled Ashley. It provided a link between career and creative pursuits.

She credits several professors, as well as her mother and grandmother, for inspiring her to succeed as a student. on campus, Dr. Doris Walker Bennett (former faculty member), Dr. James Ford, and Professor David Aussicker all had an impact on her education. Dr. Bennett encouraged her to follow her dreams, Dr. Aussicker helped her pick justice as a major, and Dr. Ford inspired her to continue through the master’s program.

“All helped me pursue my dreams…all were very supportive.”

Sharing the Joy of MovementOne of Ashley’s most memorable experiences on campus occurred during a friendly annual competition called The Battle of the Bell, featuring teams from the College of Saint Elizabeth, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Drew University. Ashley danced a Caribbean/West African inspired dance choreographed by her friend and fellow student, Jenira Hill, ’07. “The whole experience was so wonderful,” says Ashley. “I loved the creativity, the freedom of expression, the sheer joy of it.”

A dancer since age 8, Ashley has dreamed of combining her creative and administrative skills to open a non-profit urban dance studio. Her dance experiences at the College served to make her even more determined. “Sometimes children don’t know how to properly express themselves,” says Ashley. “I can, and will, help them with this.”

Crossing the stage at commencement this year will be the first graduates of the doctoral program in educational leadership—a historic event that connects the founding values of CSE with an important new goal: to educate and energize the next generation of servant leaders for the schools of tomorrow.

Mary Rose Scalo, director of special services at Parsippany-Troy Hills High School in New Jersey, will join fellow student William Carpluk, assistant principal at West Morris/Mendham High School in New Jersey, and others, in what is sure to be an emotional rite of passage for all. “As a result of my experience at CSE,” says Bill, “I’ve developed my own personal vision and philosophy for leading and living.”

The three-year doctoral program, the first in the College’s history, is

deeply rooted in the philosophy of servant leadership, an idea that shatters the traditional paradigm of top-down management by educating leaders who serve and embrace the needs and talents of their employees. “It’s fitting that two of our most dedicated students will be among the first to defend their dissertations in this program,” comments Dr. John Crews, Ed.D., associate director of graduate education. “They are wonderful role models for all who aspire to school leadership.”

The doctoral program’s format, with small classes and personal attention from the faculty, made the process enjoyable yet challenging. “The professors really won me over,” shares Mary Rose, who also earned an M.A. in Education in 2005 through a CSE off-site held at her school. She credits Dr. Crews with introducing her to the concept of servant leadership, and Dr. Margaret Mittricker with being a critical, yet supportive advisor.

Like Mary Rose, Bill appreciates the support of everyone at CSE, from President Sr. Francis Raftery to the members of the education department, including Dr. Crews, Father Tom McDade, Dr. Joseph Ciccone and his advisor, Dr. Alan Markowitz. “It’s been highly supportive, and my advisor has been a tremendous help.”

Most of all perhaps, he enjoys his fellow students: “We have become very close. I like the fact that all classes are held here on campus. The cohort model is terrific.” And, together as a cohort, they will cross the stage at commencement on May 15, 2010.

A Magical MomentOne of Jolee’s favorite books is Left to Tell by Immaculée Ilibagiza, an internationally known writer on topics of peace, faith, and absolution. As luck (or fate) would have it, the author came to CSE in 2009 to speak during the Spring Conference on Genocide and Reconciliation. Says Jolee, “One of my greatest experiences at CSE was when she came to visit.”

At the time, Jolee was taking a course titled Genocide and Reconciliation. The class is part of the College’s ongoing commitment to educate and promote awareness and remembrance of those affected by genocide. The CSE Holocaust Education Resource Center was created to advance this understanding and respect, so that a world riddled with prejudice can work toward tolerance and peace.

LEFT TO TELLDiscovering God

Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

Jolee Zanes, criminal justice major, has led a life devoted to serving God and her country, and she chose to do so as a member of the United States Navy. While serving in Japan in 2006, she decided to complete her college degree following her tour of duty. But she didn’t know where to go, or how to manage it. “Then one night when I was praying,” she says, “God told me to go to school in Morristown, N.J.” Shortly after, Jolee discovered CSE and immediately scheduled a visit.

“I really loved that it was a Christian culture, and the campus environment was very peaceful,” Jolee mentions. As Jolee waited for her interview, Professor David Aussicker, chair of the justice studies department and veteran of the Navy, introduced himself. He described the College’s Yellow Ribbon program, which provides tuition incentives to enrolled military personnel. Jolee says, “It was an opportunity too good to miss. I could see that God was setting me up to do a lot of good in this world.”

Social responsibility is close to

Jolee’s heart, which is why she participates in the Campus Ministry Club and has taken an active approach in several campus fundraisers. Jolee regularly serves at her church as an usher and a disabled-child care provider. During the holiday season, Jolee helped serve meals at numerous shelters in Florida, Kentucky, New York, and North Carolina.

The military continues to be an integral part of Jolee’s life. In the summer of 2009, she embarked on a progam of intensive Arabic language study in Amman, Jordan. Jolee

wanted to learn Arabic, because she felt it was an important language essential to truly understanding the culture. “I acquired a significant grasp of Western-Middle Eastern tension,” says Jolee.

With the experiences and education from CSE and the military, Jolee has become interested in helping those affected by cultural clashes and genocide. Jolee says, “Coming to CSE has been a life-changing experience for me.” Jolee hopes to combine skills learned at CSE with her experiences in the Navy to inspire others and do good in the world.

Irena Moore knows what it takes to succeed in the classroom and on the volleyball court. On February 7, 2010, the psychology major received the Woman of the Year Award from the New Jersey Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women for her leadership and personal success on the CSE volleyball team. “I felt honored to be recognized. It feels great to know that people believed in me and my abilities as an athlete,” she says.

Irena did not start playing volleyball until college, and she attributes much of her success to her coaches, Alan Masone and Jonathan Brooks. But, she also has amazing natural talent and an iron will to win—the product, she says, of growing up in Orange, N.J., with parents who taught her to have confidence in herself and her abilities.

Irena’s achievements extend far beyond the volleyball court. Her name is a familiar one on CSE’s Dean’s List. She is a member of the Honors Program, the Judicial Board, Psychology Club, and Women United in Color Club. She is also co-president of CSE Carpe Motus Dance Company. But, one activity holds a special place in her heart. “Being a part of EOF (Equal Opportunity Fund, a federal assistance program) has introduced me to lifelong friends,” Irena states. “All the girls that I met during the summer of 2006 are still here today, and I am very close with all of them.” She mentions that one student in particular, Aracely Tagliaventi, ’10, has had a profound effect on her time at CSE. “I met Aracely through the EOF program and I really look up to her. She is able to do so much on campus and has come so far since our first year at CSE; it pushes me to become a better person,” shares Irena.

At CSE, Irena has also developed a commitment to serve others. Her drive to give back to her community is strong. She currently interns at Orange High School, in New Jersey, in the SPACE (Supportive People Advocating Community Empowerment) Program. “It offers counseling and refuge to kids, when needed,” says Irena. The program coincides with Irena’s future goals of attending graduate school for her M.A. in Psychology, focusing on mental health counseling. “I want to help kids, because they need it the most. I feel like they are often neglected and need to be heard.”

Just like Irena was heard at CSE.

Yasmin De Jesus(Continued from Inside Front Cover)

Yasmin De Jesus, ’13, always loved art. She painted her first large-scale mural at age 14. When the time came for her college search, Yasmin discovered CSE and knew that the College had something important to offer her.

“CSE has students from all around the world,” says Yasmin, “yet we all co-exist here. I want my art to connect cultures in the same way. I want to create art that helps to bring people together.”

Dr. George Sirgiovanni has been casting a long shadow across campus for the last 22 years, and it is not entirely due to his six-foot-plus frame. Generations of CSE students have been the beneficiaries of his enthusiasm for the past, particularly his passion for 20th century U.S. political history.

“The aspects of politics that interest me the most are the competition, maneuvering, strategizing, and the raw ambition that are on display,” Dr. Sirgiovanni explains. “Given the constant tension of it all, politics is a human soap opera that never ends. It appeals to me in a way that no novel or movie ever could.”

Dr. Sirgiovanni’s aptitude and interests were evident even as a schoolboy. “English and history were the two subjects I did the best in throughout my school years. It was obvious to me when I went to college that I would major in one or the other. It pleased me immensely to discover that I could double major in them.”

The school that allowed him to do so was Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. He continued his education at the University of Missouri, where he earned an M.A. in Journalism. When he decided to pursue a doctorate at Rutgers University, he had to make a hard decision: English or history. In the end, he realized that his strongest academic passion was political history—and the rest, as they say, is history!

“...politics is a human soap opera that never ends. It appeals to me in a way that no novel or movie ever could.”—Dr. George Sirgiovanni

Inspiring Future History Buffs DR. GEoRGE SIRGIoVANNI, CHAIR oF THE CSE HISToRY DEPARTMENT

FOCUS ON FACULTY

Dr. Sirgiovanni is the author of a highly regarded work, An Undercurrent of Suspicion, Anti-Communism in America During World War II, which grew out of his doctoral dissertation. “I had a very strong interest in Communism and anti-Communism in the United States,” he says. “Even though it was a well-covered field, I wanted to do something that hadn’t been addressed.”

When the United States and the Soviet Union allied in their fight against the Nazis during World War II, a long-standing strain of anti-Communist sentiment seemed to fade from public view. But, Dr. Sirgiovanni theorized that there still had to be some strong anti-Communist voices during this period. His research proved him correct, and his study soon reached publication.

For his next book, Dr. Sirgiovanni is examining the key factors that have allowed various presidents to attain the Oval Office. Did they do so primarily because of dauntless ambition? How much impact did simple luck have to play? Sounds like interesting reading, inspired by a great teacher’s passion for the past.

Inspired by Justice: JAMES WINSToN, ’10“Justice for all” is a phrase James Winston takes seriously as he pursues his M.A. in Forensic Psychology and Counseling at CSE. This program prepares students, the first of whom graduate this May, for careers in counseling those involved in the criminal justice system.

For James, who went to Rutgers/Camden for undergraduate work, the CSE program allows him to take his career to a new level: one day soon he hopes to perform assessments and evaluations for the courts. “When I started the program about two years ago, it was the only one of its kind in the state,” says James, who is completing his graduate internship work this summer.

Classes for the forensic psychology program are held one or two nights a week, or an occasional Saturday, depending on the specific course. James juggles the coursework schedule with his two jobs—director of an after-school program in North Plainfield, N.J., and at the

Carrier Clinic in Belle Mead, N.J., a psychiatric hospital.

With an intimate campus size and plenty of chances to get involved, the College has given James some unique opportunities. Last year he travelled to the Dominican Republic as part of a nursing/psychology team serving the underprivileged. The psychology students provided domestic abuse counseling services, while the nursing students provided health services.

CSE students, including James Winston, back row, visited the Dominican Republic to provide counseling and health services.

Inspired to Return: JULIA PICINICH, ’80, ’09

You are what you learn. For Julia Micciche Picinich, that means taking all the science courses required for two CSE degrees—a B.S. in Biology in 1980, and an M.S. in Nutrition almost 30 years later.

After graduating from CSE, Julia began her career as an analytical chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. She soon started a family, changed her career direction, and entered the world of sports and fitness. She became a nationally certified Group V Aerobics Instructor, personal trainer, and amateur body builder.

Realizing the link between nutrition and optimal sports performance, she began combining her passions by taking nutrition classes beginning in 1996. That path wasn’t easy, because she was working part time while raising two daughters, Tanya and kayla. But Julia never gave up, despite some twists and turns over 13 years.

Although her formal education at CSE is over, her connection to an alma mater she shares with four sisters, Maria, class of ’71; Erica, ’72; Monica, ’82; and Pamela, ’83, is far from over.

This summer, Julia will participate in a CSE conference on Weight Management & obesity, scheduled for June 3-5, and hopes to again counsel young athletes at a football camp coordinated by NFL player David Clowney, ’11, M.A. Justice Administration and Public Service.

“This is a college that makes these types of opportunities happen,” she says, “and it’s just awesome...It makes your education come alive.”

Inspired by Past Lives: SISTER MARY ELLEN GLEASoN Inspired by the Call: RoGER PISANI

often one’s calling reveals itself later in life, but for Campus Minister Roger Pisani, his has been with him since the beginning. As a young boy growing up in Wayne, N.J., Roger and his family were active members of their church—first at the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, and later at our Lady of the Valley Roman Catholic Church.

“I was always involved in church activities,” he says. “Then, I began to notice I was spending most of my time doing what I really loved. That’s when I began considering the possibilities.”

After graduating from De Paul Catholic High School (a Sisters of Charity affiliated school in Wayne, N.J.), Roger began to pursue his B.A. in Religious Studies at Felician College in Lodi, N.J. It was an unlikely choice, considering his family’s scientific background. “My dad worked as a scientist for NASA, my mother was a computer teacher, and my brother is a software designer. For me to end up in ministry was a very unusual decision.”

His love for liturgy and liturgical music led him to pursue his M.A. in Pastoral Ministry and Liturgical

Studies at the Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton Hall University in West orange, N.J.—a program rooted in pastoral ministry.

Throughout the years, Roger has worked in a number of parishes and campus ministries, including the Diocese of Camden, Seton Hall, and Rutgers Universities, before joining the College of Saint Elizabeth in November 2008.

“It was my wife Carol who brought the open position of campus minister to my attention,” Roger shares. “She and I are firm believers in being each other’s spiritual companions and in discussing opportunities before us. I knew that whatever position I chose, I wanted to be involved in liturgy, music, and spirituality.”

The position proved to be a perfect fit. In addition to providing

pastoral care to students and the community at large, Roger organizes and leads such on-campus activities as Sunday liturgy, Campus Ministry Club, the College’s choir and various off-site spiritual retreats and service-learning trips, co-sponsored with the Center for Volunteerism and Service Learning.

“I really see this office as being an agent of the mission and values of the College, which are rooted in both the mission and values of the Sisters of Charity and in the Gospel,” he explains. “I think what is attractive about this position is the natural vitality of working with young adults on their faith journey. Their enthusiasm to get involved in other people’s lives and be a presence of good is inspiring.”

Amen to that.

SpOTLIGHT ON STAFF SpOTLIGHT ON STAFF

Look beyond the rows of books on Mahoney Library’s second floor, and you will discover a place filled with hidden treasures of days past.

Stacks of historical documents are placed strategically about the room, while preserved black-and-white photos shadow the walls and shelves of this alluring landscape. The retro snapshots depict faces etched with the experiences of lives lived long ago, now distanced by time and fading memory; but, to archivist Sister Mary Ellen Gleason, this is a room filled with mysteries waiting to be solved.

“I like tracking things down,” she explains. “It’s almost like detective work—I am curious to know how everything fits together.”

Assembling these pieces of a puzzle became Sister Mary Ellen’s lifelong pursuit when she began her career at

the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth Archives in 1976. Appointed the first full-time archivist, she gradually increased her staff and continued to build the congregation’s collection of unique memorabilia. It was not until four years later, in February 1980, that the official grand opening of the Heritage Room, a display of Sisters of

Charity artifacts, took place. At the opening, the China-Burma-India

Veterans Association honored Sisters Maria Sebastian Curley and Mary Finan Griffin posthumously for their work in the 95th Station Hospital in kunming, China. “Some of our sisters who had served in China before the Communist takeover in 1951 were present that day,” shares Sister, “which is why the ceremony was so memorable to me.”

After a decade of work, Sister left the congregation’s archives to work for the American Bible Society in New York City. There she conducted oral history interviews with people of different faiths and traditions for its archives department, among other assignments. one individual she interviewed was Reverend Walter M. Abbott, S.J., general editor of Documents of Vatican II.

“Reverend Abbott was interesting to interview,” she reminisces. “He worked with Cardinal Augustin Bea, S.J., president of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity. I was amazed at how matter-of-fact Rev. Abbott was when he discussed his conversations with Pope Paul VI, who was in favor of Vatican II. How many people do you know who have that kind of direct access?”

A decade later, Sister returned to her roots at CSE, assuming the position of College director of archives in 1997. She arrived at the beginning of the College’s preparations for its 100th anniversary celebration. It was then that she poured everything she was passionate about into the creation of an anniversary book co-authored with Carol-Marie kiernan, ’69, former president of the Alumnae/i Association, and George Sirgiovanni, Ph.D., chair of the College’s history department. She also co-authored Lives of Achievement and Service: Biographical Statements of Distinguished College of Saint Elizabeth Alumnae with Sister Ellen Joyce, former religious studies professor, and Sirgiovanni.

Sister continues to collect College memorabilia since its 100th Anniversary. Her goal: to create a collection for a College Heritage Room that spans all generations and reflects their unique contributions to our College.

Established in 2001, the Center seeks to illuminate the history of Catholic women in the state. Sister Mary Ellen Gleason has supported this effort from its inception, which began as an oral history project entitled, “Gifts from Our past: Lives of Catholic Women in New Jersey.” Today the Center sponsors programs such as the Heritage Award, which enables students to explore topics related to Catholic women in our region, and helps give these students the opportunity to do educational and research work. For Sister, the Center is a wonderful way to link her two passions: a love of the past, and sharing that love with today’s researchers.

AMirA V. UNVerAs director of Mahoney Library for the last three years, Amira has made it her business to know what to read. For a professional book lover with an M.S. in Library Science from Catholic University, in Washington, Amira leans toward the classics, finding that good writing truly does stand the test of time.

FAVoRITE Book AND WHY: The Iliad, by Homer. While this

can be read as a war novel or as an epic, for me, it is the sheer

majesty of the language which draws me back again and again to

read this. There are lines of such beauty and force that they stay in

memory long after reading. “Be sure to keep this in your memory,

and forget not when honey-hearted sleep shall leave you.” And

how is this for a description of odysseus: “But, as soon as he let

out his great voice from his chest, and a shower of words falling

thick and soft like snowflakes in winter time, no other man alive

could come near odysseus.” It’s a darn good read.

FAVoRITE Book oF THE PAST YEAR: Woman in White

by Wilkie Collins, published 1860, is a twisting, absorbing tale

of betrayal and courage and wilting morals. I could hardly put

it down. Also, The Granite Kiss: Traditions and Techniques of

Building New England Stone Walls, believe it or not!

A CLASSIC I LoVE: Anything by Jane Austen: Pride and

Prejudice; Emma, Sense and Sensibility, etc.

oBSCURE AUTHoR I’D RECoMMEND: Ellen Glasgow

(1873-1945) was a Pulitzer Prize winner (1942) who was known

as a Southern regional writer. Her novels portrayed a non-

romanticized view of the “old South.”

Book I’VE READ MoST oFTEN: You can’t ask a librarian to

pick. We tend to panic when asked such questions…not in any

particular order: The Iliad, Pride and Prejudice, The Bible, The

Dark is Rising, any good dictionary, and any of the volumes in the

Peterson’s nature guides.

Dr. MArY CHAYkoWhen sociology department chair Dr. Mary Chayko reaches for a good book, she often grabs a childhood favorite. Dr. Chayko is a writer herself. Her latest book, Portable Communities: The Social Dynamics of Online and Mobile Connectedness, is on the sociology best seller list. Dr. Chayko also enjoys books about politics, sociology, and the art of writing. She holds a B.A. in Communication and psychology from Seton Hall University; an M.A. in Counseling psychology from Rutgers University; and an M.A. and a ph.D. in

Sociology from Rutgers.

FAVoRITE Book AND WHY: My all-

time favorite books are the “Betsy-Tacy”

series of children’s/young adult books by

Maud Hart Lovelace. These books, about

kids growing up at the turn of the 20th

century, including one girl who wants to

be a writer, become progressively more

sophisticated and challenging to read

as the characters age from five to 25. I

re-read all 10 of them every year. one of

the greatest pleasures of my life has been

introducing them to my daughter, Morgan,

who adores them as I do.

FAVoRITE Book oF THE PAST YEAR: Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and

Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin is my favorite of the year.

I just finished it. I’m a big fan of good political writing. This book by two journalists is loaded with

insider details about the historic 2008 presidential race and the primaries leading up to it.

A CLASSIC I LoVE: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I love literature for girls and young

adults, especially fiction that gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the past. This is the lovely,

sentimental, all-time classic in that genre.

oBSCURE AUTHoR I’D RECoMMEND: Tim Black, a sociologist who’s also a friend of mine,

has written a wrenching, intimate account of the lives of three Puerto Rican brothers called, When

a Heart Turns Rock Solid.

Book I’VE READ MoST oFTEN: I pick up Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird: Reflections on Writing and

Life to get me into gear every time I procrastinate regarding writing, which is a lot!

SUMMer reADiNg SUggeSTioNSThe warmer weather will soon be here. It’s time to kick back, stretch our limbs, and grab a good book. Here’s a must-read list from a few members of the CSE faculty and staff.

Dr. MiCHAel reNAHANDr. Michael Renahan’s choice of books reflects his two careers, one in the military and the other in academia, teaching organizational leadership. He is a graduate of Seton Hall University, where he earned a ph.D. and an M.A. in Education, Administration and Supervision. He received his B.S. in Government/Criminal Justice from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.

FAVoRITE Book AND WHY: The Brotherhood of War series by W.E.B. Griffin. I have several passions in my life: history, the military, and organizational leadership. This series of books combines all three. For me, the series also reflects personal history, as I am a retired officer

having served this great country in both active duty and reserve assignments over a 38-year career. I will often recommend this series to students as a means of seeing academic principles in a real world environment. Additionally, I enjoy Griffin’s writing because he has taken the reality of what has transpired in real life, placed it in a fictional series, and made it enjoyable as well.

FAVoRITE Book oF THE PAST YEAR: Team of Rivals by Doris kearns Goodwin. We often fail to look to the past and its leaders for answers to today’s problems. If we don’t understand history, we are doomed to repeat the failures more than the successes. This book shows how Lincoln was able to forge a team that made the differences of many personalities the strength that helped him preserve the Union.

A CLASSIC I LoVE: Classic has so many definitions—Boom and The

Greatest Generation, both by Tom Brokaw, are two that are classic to me.

oBSCURE AUTHoR I’D RECoMMEND: Sun Tzu – The Art of War for Success by Gerald Michaelson. It is about how to use the “Art of War” to master challenges and accomplish the important goals in your life.

Book I’VE READ MoST oFTEN: An American Anthology of Poetry, The Bible, and The Brotherhood series.

Dr. JoHN r. CreWSDr. John Crews’ diverse interests are evident in his book choices. The associate director of graduate education enjoys famous novels, reading history, and keeping current with his profession.

FAVoRITE Book AND WHY: Leadership and the New Science:

Discovering Order in a Chaotic World

by Margaret Wheatley is my favorite

professional book. The way we structure

our organizations as hierarchical institutions

is quite flawed. This book provides a

scientific

rationale

for using

complexity

theory and

ecology

as a new

organizational

paradigm.

To Kill a Mocking Bird, by Harper Lee

is my favorite personal book. Ever since

the ‘60s, when I directly experienced

discrimination while on a trip to

Jacksonville, Fla., I have been very

interested in what life was like for blacks in

the Jim Crow South. I thought that Atticus

Finch was a true servant leader.

FAVoRITE Book oF THE PAST YEAR: A New Earth: Awakening to Your

Life’s Purpose, by Eckert Tolle. This book

provided a clear account of how we must

recognize and overcome our egos in order

to be able to lead a full, happy,

and conscious life that is guided by

the spirit within.

A CLASSIC I LoVE: I absolutely

loved The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel

Hawthorne. The characters were so well

developed that you could feel an intimacy

with them that I have not experienced in

other books.

oBSCURE AUTHoR I’D RECoMMEND: M. Mitchell Waldrop is a physicist and

author who has written Complexity: The

Emerging Science at the Edge of Chaos,

which led me to explore this new science

and its application to school leadership.

Book I’VE READ MoST oFTEN: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by

William Shirer. I often go back to read

large sections of it to try and understand

how something this devastating could

have happened.

Dr. JAMeS ForDDr. James Ford, assistant justice studies professor, has a taste in literature which runs from the inspirational to those fun-to-read Andrew Greeley mysteries. Here’s his reading list.

FAVoRITE Book AND WHY: Joshua

by Joseph F. Girzone is one of the most

profound books that I have read. The book

was inspirational and demonstrated how

Joshua (Jesus) was a simple man who led

a compassionate life devoted to a loving

God. I recommend the book to everyone.

FAVoRITE Book oF THE PAST YEAR: Will the Circle Be Unbroken by Studs Terkel.

The book contains reflections on death,

rebirth, and hunger for faith. I recommend

the book for anyone dealing with a loss or

the pending loss of someone close to them.

A CLASSIC I LoVE: The Good Earth by

Pearl S. Buck is a classic, because it

examines the importance of family, women’s

rights, and learning about Chinese culture.

oBSCURE AUTHoR I’D RECoMMEND: I would recommend Jeffrey Lent, author of

Lost Nation, After You’ve Gone, and

A Peculiar Grace. I admire his writing style

and the themes he uses.

Book I’VE READ MoST oFTEN: Andrew Greeley’s White Smoke, Irish

Lace and Happy are They Who Thirst for

Justice are a few I have read most often.

Greeley’s books are always intriguing.

Caldwell, who were boys in Berlin and Vienna on that infamous night. on Wednesday, November 11, three internationally known

theologians, Rabbi Irving (Yitz), Reverend John Pawlikowski, and Dr. Henry F. knight, discussed Challenges and Opportunities

A Performance in Celebration of the College’s 110th Anniversary: In January 2010, the College continued

its 110th anniversary celebration with a performance entitled

Agapé (a Greek word meaning selfless or unconditional love). The

event honored the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, who are

celebrating their 150th anniversary this year. The performance was

dedicated to the life of Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, foundress

of the Sisters of Charity, and in memory of the late Father Edward

Hinds, former pastor of St. Patrick’s Church in Chatham, N.J. The

performance featured Monsignor Ray East, pastor of St. Theresa

of Avila Parish in Washington, as the main storyteller. The work

was performed by the CSE Festival Choir, joined by choirs from

St. Patrick’s Church, our Lady of the Mountain Parish Children’s

Choir, Long Valley, N.J., and members of the Elizabeth Singers.
