“Each fall I issue a call for nominations from faculty colleagues,” Neal B. Abraham, executive vice president, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, said. “After review of these nominations and study of the annual reports and personnel files of the nominated faculty members, I select the recipients. For the current year, I received so many and such strong nominations that I decided to make two awards.” Tamara Beauboeuf joined the DePauw faculty in sociology and education in 2001. Abraham noted, “In a few years, she has demonstrated exceptional abilities to bridge teaching in two different departments, one since renamed to education studies. She has provided inspiration to colleagues through her new courses; she has led Winter Term trips that were particularly effective for her students; and she has contributed greatly to the development of the new curriculum for the education studies department, just as she contributed effectively to the work of the General Education Task Force. She has inspired a number of faculty colleagues and attracted many students to each of her depart-

For the first time in its history, the annual Exemplary Teaching Award – given jointly by DePauw and the General Board of Higher Education of the United Methodist Church – was presented to two professors at DePauw. Tamara M. Beauboeuf, assistant professor of education studies and sociology, and Robert P. Hershberger, associate professor of modern languages (Spanish), are the 2004-05 recipients. The Exemplary Teaching Award recognizes faculty members who exemplify excellence in teaching, civility and concern for students and colleagues, commitment to value-centered education, and service to students, institution and community.

ments. Students speak in glowing terms of the rigor of her courses and the demands she places on them, and they express gratitude for her dedication and devotion to their learning.” Robert Hershberger joined the DePauw faculty in modern languages in 1998. “He has been an exemplar for his faculty colleagues in the teaching of languages, particularly in the use of various technologies to enhance both teaching and learning,” Abraham said. “His teaching is particularly exemplary for its student-centered approach. Students speak of the effectiveness with which he has drawn them to mastery and fluency. He has enriched the curriculum with new courses in film and Hispanic literature. He has helped to attract higher numbers of majors and minors. He has been a dedicated leader and contributor to the Winter Term in Service program. He has authored elementary and intermediate textbooks that adhere to the standard of his pedagogy, which prioritizes oral proficiency attained through a communicative approach to instruction. And he has served as a mentor to both junior and senior faculty colleagues.” Previous recipients of the Exemplary Teaching Award are Tom Chiarella, professor of English; Andrea E. Sununu, professor of English; Valarie H. Ziegler, professor of religious studies; Craig T. Paré, associate professor of music; John Dittmer, senior professor of history; Terri Bonebright, associate professor of psychology; Carl P. Singer, professor of computer science; J. David Field, professor of English; and Jacqueline R. Roberts, associate professor of chemistry. “Together they provide inspiration to all of us as models of DePauw’s enduring commitment to the preeminent importance of creative and effective teaching by its faculty members,” Abraham said.

Robert P. Hershberger, who joined the faculty in 1998, has taught Spanish language and literature at many different Hershberger levels in the DePauw curriculum. Hershberger is recognized by his students and colleagues as a master teacher. He is also an effective practitioner of service learning, engaging his students in community service projects ranging from translations and language lessons to community-based information technology initiatives that enhance student engagement and student learning. His publications include two editions of a first-year Spanish textbook, Plazas: Lugar de encuentro para la hispanidad, which first appeared in 2000, and a new second-year textbook, Rumbos, which will be published in 2005.
Daniel E. Shannon joined the DePauw faculty in 1990, and he currently serves as chair of the philosophy department. Shannon His students describe him as demanding and stimulating, a clear and effective presenter of material and a thoughtful discussion leader, drawing some of their best work from them, often better than they thought possible. His work has been recognized by an Aspen Foundation Fellowship in 1993, two Faculty Fellowships (2000-03, 2004-07), and the Jens Jacobsen Research Award in 2002-03.

Yung-Chen Chiang, who came to DePauw in 1988, serves as chair of the history department and holds the A.W. Crandall Professorship Chiang in History. He has helped to broaden the department’s course offerings and its contributions to Asian Studies and Women’s Studies, and he has led Winter Term trips to China, opening this important part of the world to hundreds of students and to faculty colleagues as well. His students describe him as a demanding teacher, but one who helps them broaden their cultural and historical perspectives. Author of a recent book, Social Engineering and the Social Sciences in China, 1919-1949, he has made significant contributions to scholarship of 20th Century China. His current ambitious project, Educating ‘Pillars of State’ in ‘the Land of the Free’: Chinese Students in the United States 1900-1931, is widely recognized as an important complement to his first book and one expected to have an equal impact.

Master plan will enhance use of DePauw Nature Park
A welcome and activities center, an environmental field station and biology laboratory building, a small outdoor amphitheater and a retreat center are among the items included in a master plan for the DePauw University Nature Park. Designed by Mansur Developers, the plan explores possible uses for the 481-acre site, which is located one-third of a mile from the western edge of the DePauw campus and is accessible via a short walk. DePauw President Robert G. Bottoms said, “Since September 2003, when we announced the generous gift that made the Nature Park possible, faculty, students, staff and administrators have been meeting, planning and, most importantly, imagining what this site might be like. Mansur was able to take the best of those ideas and create a plan, which serves as a blueprint for the possibilities we might explore as we go forward.” The DePauw Nature Park opened to the public in September 2004. Already in place are 10 miles of trails that wind through the property and along Big Walnut Creek as well as outdoor teaching areas and a small outdoor amphitheater. Areas for weekend primitive camping and a canoe launch with a canoe rental service were scheduled to open in the spring. Construction is

underway on the approximately 3,800-square-foot laboratory building, Manning Environmental Field Station, which will facilitate the teaching of geoscience and biological classes and will include laboratories that may be used for environmental science, environmental biology and ecology. There are also plans to develop natural areas (prairie and wetland). The master plan includes: • Welcome Center/Activities Center – With 1,400 square feet of interior space and 3,700 square feet of total space under the roof, this will serve as a trailhead building for groups entering the park, where they can receive orientation and plan their activities. The structure also will serve as the offices for the park ranger staff. Construction is now underway. • Small Outdoor Amphitheater – Already constructed, it can accommodate 100-200 persons and host outdoor theatre performances or concerts. • Retreat Center – Built in an environmentally sensitive manner, this building would include meeting and conference facilities suitable for groups ranging from dozens of people to hundreds. Complete development of this concept would include residential facilities as well as kitchen, dining and meeting rooms. It is envisioned that the Center will host campus, regional, corporate and national events that exceed the capabilities of other facilities on campus or within the region. The master plan also calls for installation of toilets and water fountains in key locations

around the Nature Park. A two-inch main, which delivers city water to the site, has already been installed, and electricity is provided by PSI/Cinergy. The plan suggests that on-site wastewater treatment is not possible and recommends installation of a forced sewer main that would connect to the city wastewater treatment plant. “The new opportunities for teaching and research, of developing connections between different disciplines, and the opportunities for community outreach the Nature Park will provide, are enormous,” Wade N. Hazel, professor of biology at DePauw and a key architect of the vision for the Nature Park, said. “The park also will enhance DePauw’s abilities to attract students interested in environmental issues. I’m confident that, years from now, the investments in the Nature Park will turn out to be some of the wisest the University has ever made.” Hanson Aggregates, which mined the quarry on the site, donated 280 acres of the land and is leasing the remaining 178 acres to the University for $1 annually for 99 years. DePauw acquired 23 acres of adjacent property to increase the total to 481 acres.

DePauw acquires Walden Inn Walden Inn, the 55-room hotel, restaurant and conference center located on the DePauw campus, has been acquired by the University. Walden Inn’s principal owner, Don R. Daseke ’61 of Dallas, announced an agreement to transfer ownership of the property to his alma mater. The transaction was unanimously approved by DePauw’s Board of Trustees. “It’s been a thrill seeing the Inn open and, over the years, under the dedicated and effective leadership of Innkeeper Randy Rhine, develop into the highly regarded facility that it is today,” Daseke, a trustee of the University since 1984, said. “After a series of talks with DePauw President Bob Bottoms, it became clear that this transaction would be an outstanding next chapter to the Walden Inn story. My love for DePauw and Walden Inn is well documented. After almost 20 years of opening and overseeing the Inn, I know its future is in very good hands with DePauw. I’m quite confident the Inn will continue to make a strong contribution to the life of both DePauw and Greencastle.” President Bottoms added, “Walden Inn has become an important part of DePauw – our alumni, visitors and parents of students stay there; students use the social space – and it is a keystone of the Putnam County community, hosting weddings, receptions and attracting visitors to Greencastle who spend money at local businesses and return home with stories of the unique things this city has to offer. DePauw is committed
to making this fine property an even greater asset to both the campus and the community. We plan to carry on the tradition of excellence that Don Daseke, Matt O’Neill and Randy Rhine have established.” The University is immediately upgrading Walden Inn’s guest rooms and conference facilities. Day-to-day operation of the Inn will be managed by Sodexho, the leading food and facilities management services company in North America, which has provided food services on the DePauw campus since 2002 and operates facilities that are very similar to Walden Inn in other college towns around America. “Other than the renovations, visitors to the Inn shouldn’t see any obvious changes,” Richard Speller, DePauw vice president for finance and administration, said. “Of course, it is our goal over time to continue to enhance the experiences that Walden Inn offers its guests. This is something that promises to add value to DePauw in every way.” A 19,000-square-foot expansion of the Inn, completed in January 2003, created a new and much larger Fluttering Duck (for casual lunches and dinners; it also hosts live musical performances and is equipped with several televisions for enjoying sporting events), a banquet room with space for 250 people (expandable to accommodate 100 more) and study space for students to work alone or in groups. The space formerly occupied by the Fluttering Duck is now a coffee shop serving Starbucks products.

Tim Rogers appointed head football coach Tim Rogers, who was offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Cornell University last season after serving the previous six years as head coach at Kalamazoo College, has been named DePauw’s head football coach. Rogers succeeds Bill Lynch, who resigned Jan. 31 to become assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/tight ends coach at Indiana University. “Tim Rogers is a highly respected and well-liked coach, and I’m thrilled that he’s coming to DePauw,” S. Page Cotton Jr. ’71, director of athletics, said. “The strong tradition of highly competitive football teams that value scholarship as well as athletic excellence is in very good hands.” Rogers said, “Being at Cornell and coaching in the Ivy League was always a goal of mine, and it takes something very special for me to leave. Coaching at DePauw is another lifelong ambition. I’ve always envisioned myself coaching at a Division III program with the facilities and commitment to compete at the national level, and that describes DePauw. I’m accepting one of the nation’s best Division III coaching jobs, and I’m excited to get started.” Rogers compiled a record of 28-28 at Kalamazoo. He served as Kalamazoo’s defensive coordinator and coached linebackers and defensive ends before taking over the head coaching duties. In 2000 Rogers led the Hornets to a 5-4 record, the team’s best finish since 1993. In 2003 Rogers led the Hornets to their first six-win season since 1993. In 2002 the team ranked nationally in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense. Two players also ranked among the nation’s best,
earning a spot among the best in total offense, pass efficiency, receiving yards and receptions per game. During Rogers’ tenure as defensive coordinator, 21 Hornet defensive players were named to the All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association first, second or honorable mention squads. Rogers has coached two MIAA defensive MVPs (1999 and 2001), and he sent the first two Hornets to the Aztec Bowl, the Division III All-Star game vs. Mexico. A Chicago native, Rogers served as a graduate assistant at Eastern Michigan University prior to his stint at Kalamazoo. Rogers earned a master’s degree from EMU in physical education in 1993. He coached the receivers and helped develop the EMU passing attack. He also was responsible for recruiting in the Chicago area and assisted with off-season conditioning. Rogers served as running backs coach at Moraine Valley (Ill.) Community College in 1992, and he was interim defensive backs coach at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in 1991. From 1988-90 he was a varsity assistant coach at his alma mater, Chicago’s De La Salle High School. Rogers lettered in four seasons as a defensive back at Beloit (Wis.) College. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 1988 and was selected to the All-Sigma Chi National Football Team as a senior. The new coach inherits a DePauw team that was 8-2 in 2004 and will return 16 starters in the fall. Rogers becomes DePauw’s 10th head coach in the past 75 seasons.
Corrections In the fall 2004 Annual Honor Roll of Donors, John W. and Maribeth (Steimle ’88) Busey ’90 were inadvertently omitted from the Washington C. DePauw Society roster of annual members. Also, Elizabeth A. Goldberg should have been listed in the Patrons Circle for the Class of 1999 in the Annual Honor Roll of Donors. The staff apologizes for the omissions.

Leading the life of A slice of campus life throughout the day Photography by Matt Bowen
DePauw students lead busier lives than ever. So, what is it like to be a student at DePauw University today? In an attempt to illustrate a day in the life of students, DePauw Magazine photographed various campus happenings during several days in February. While it is impossible to chronicle all the things that students pack into a day at DePauw – in addition to classes – the following photo feature should give the reader a fair representation of the level of activity. One student, junior Nicole R. Pence, graciously allowed DePauw Magazine to photograph her throughout her day. You will see Nicole several times in this section.
7:55 a.m. Twelve students are already at work in a Sedimentology and Stratigraphy class taught by Frederick M. Soster, professor of geosciences, in a laboratory on the lower level of the Percy Lavon Julian Science & Mathematics Center. They use a “ro-tap” to sieve sediment into progressively smaller sizes of grains. Even though it’s the first class period of the day, there is a high energy level in the lab as the students and professor interact.
8:15 a.m. Juniors Nicole R. Pence (on right) and Kye T. Hawkins are on the air on WGRE radio with their morning show, a music and talk show featuring a peppiness that reflects the hosts’ personalities. The dynamic duo has developed a devoted number of fans for their show among listeners both on campus and in the community. The best friends are back on campus after doing internships in the fall: Pence, who is majoring in communication and Spanish with a minor in political science, worked at Fox News Network in Washington, D.C., and Hawkins, a communication major, interned at MTV in New York City. Their professional approach to their WGRE show is evident. “My ultimate goal is to be an anchor person in a large market,” says Pence (facing page), who serves as D3TV promotions director as well as WGRE news director. You might want to watch for her in a major media market near you.

9 a.m. “Technology is very prevalent now. It’s very influential on campus,” says sophomore biology major and Latin minor Bryan R. Helm, who is on duty at the Computer Center help desk in the Percy Lavon Julian Science & Mathematics Center, where he fields calls for help from students and faculty members. They may have a computer that is not working properly, perhaps a student has class in 15 minutes and his or her computer won’t print a document, a faculty member may need to post documents on the Web, they have software that needs to be installed, or a host of other problems. In his second year as a member of the Information Technology Associates Program (ITAP), Helm also is a Science Research Fellow.
10:22 a.m. In the physical therapy department at Putnam County Hospital, first-year student and Bonner Scholar Wagner L. Bichotte works with patients two days per week, usually for four hours. “Sometimes, I come in 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. like a regular work day, so I see what physical therapists do all day,” he explains. He plans to major in kinesiology and pursue a career in the medical field, so the opportunity to get hands-on experience in a hospital fits well for him, he explains. Recipient of a Posse Leadership Scholarship, he has been invited to join the Honor Scholar Program.
14
11:40 a.m. Sitting in a semi-circle in Asbury Hall, room 115, seven students engage in discussion with Adebajo Amusa, instructor in philosophy. The class is titled “African Philosophy.” At left is senior Alysia C. Sargent, a Posse Scholar and senior communication major, who keeps busy outside of class as president of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority; past president and current vice president of the Association of African-American Students; Student Technology Assessment, Resources and Training (START) consultant; secretary of the National Pan-Hellenic Council; coordinator of Tobacco Prevention and Cessation; and a WGRE radio newscaster. “I can say that I am learning in the classroom, but I know for sure I am learning more outside of it,” Sargent says. “I thrive on the extracurricular activity because it keeps me motivated about being at DePauw and optimistic about my future.”

12:15 p.m. La mesa española, or Spanish table, in the Hub food court in the Memorial Student Union Building. While the dining room fills with hungry students and buzzing conversation, Nicole Pence (center) engages Associate Professors of Modern Languages Robert P. Hershberger (at right) and Maria Luque-Ekrich and other students in informal conversation – in Spanish, of course. Luque-Ekrich has joined students at the Spanish table for 14 years, and Hershberger for seven years. Hershberger is a co-recipient of the 2005 Exemplary Teaching Award.
1:20 p.m. Ten students in the Video Art I class are working with digital editing software at stations in the Digital Imaging Lab in the Richard E. Peeler Art Center. Later, Associate Professor of Art Cynthia O’Dell (inset photo) will dispatch the students with mini-DV cameras to shoot video on campus. When they return, the students will use the digital editing software to edit their video projects.

3 p.m. Senior Latin major Austin M. Diaz (at left), a Holton Scholar, has his weekly meeting with Pedar W. Foss, assistant professor of classical studies, (in Foss’ office in the Percy Lavon Julian Science & Mathematics Center) to discuss progress with his Honor Scholar senior thesis, which is titled “Ovid’s Voice.” Diaz is producing a translation of Ovid with notes and companion pieces. “The comments he gives back tells me that he spends a lot of time reviewing my work,” Diaz says. It is more than a coincidence that Foss is Diaz’ senior thesis adviser. “It was Professor Foss’ Honor Scholar freshman seminar that interested me in going into the classics,” Diaz explains. Now he plans to pursue a doctoral degree and teach in the classics. He also is a member of the swimming team and Media Fellows, and he was editor of The DePauw last fall.
2 p.m. “It’s a whole different world out here,” junior Management Fellow Patrick P. Ferrini says as he exits the Indiana State Capitol building. During the spring semester, he is a government affairs intern for the Baker & Daniels law firm in Indianapolis. One of his major duties is to sit in on committee meetings in the statehouse and monitor the House and Senate floor. “The internship is giving me skills I wouldn’t necessarily learn in class,” he notes. Because he plans a career in law, Ferrini appreciates the unusual opportunity to work at a law firm as an undergraduate through the Management Fellows Program.
19
4:20 p.m. In the Hartman Center for Civic Education and Leadership, a meeting is under way to review the 2005 Winter Term in Service trips and beginning planning WTIS trips for 2006. Junior Martha A. Leader (center), the Winter Term in Service Head Intern, and Jessica S. Thompson ’02, assistant director of WTIS, lead the meeting. Leader, who participated in WTIS trips to Ghana in 2004 and Ecuador in 2005, says, “Winter Term in Service is one of the reasons I came to DePauw. Being head intern is an extra.” She is a recipient of the Katherine Cox Hoover Scholarship.
20
4:48 p.m. Even during the off-season, field hockey demands a significant commitment of time each week for first-year student Margaret P. McDermott, who is participating in agility drills with the team. The fall sports teams practice in the Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center during the winter. “It is a challenge to create a balance between my athletic life and education life,” she says. “I rarely have missed a practice because of academics, which means that I spend most of my time outside of field hockey on my homework.” McDermott, a Posse Scholar, also is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and volunteers at the A-Way Home Shelter in Greencastle.
21
5:35 p.m. In the Performing Arts Center, room 152, first-year student Corinne M. Webb (facing page), a music and psychology double major, is in French horn ensemble practice, under the direction of Robert B. Danforth, adjunct instructor of music. She also is a member of the band and orchestra. “I am enrolled in a five-year double degree program that enables me to receive both a Bachelor of Music degree from the School of Music and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Liberal Arts,” Webb explains. “The collaboration between the College of Liberal Arts and School of Music is unique among universities similar to DePauw, and it is truly an asset to all students involved in both parts of the University.” Webb is a recipient of the Elaine S. Smith Scholarship and Dr. James W. Godwin Scholarship.
6:45 p.m. Winter Term Programming Board Chair Sarah E. Summers (center) contributes to a Union Board meeting in the Memorial Student Union Building. A first-year student, Summers signed up for the Union Board at the Activities Fair in the fall. “When they offered me the program chair position, I thought that would be a good role to step into to prepare for future leadership positions,” she says. She also is active in DePauw Community Service and works for The DePauw student newspaper. She is a member of the Media Fellows Program. An English writing major, Summers is a recipient of a Presidential Rector Scholarship and a Lilly Endowment Scholarship.

7 p.m. Preparing for a full dress rehearsal of the opera, Orpheus in the Underworld, first-year student Stacey E. Sands adds finishing touches to her make-up in a dressing room in the Performing Arts Center. She is very pleased to have landed a substantial role as a first-year student. “As a vocal performance major, music takes up most of my day,” says Sands, recipient of a Holton Scholarship and Music Performance Scholarship. “When I’m not in a music class, I’m in an acting or language class, which are both important to the development of a vocalist. And when I’m not in class, I have rehearsal, lessons or practice. And with all that, I still try to fit in other campus activities.”
7:30 p.m. “I’ve always had students to my home, including advisees, students from classes and international students,” says Ellen J. Maycock, University Professor and professor and chair of mathematics. This evening she is hosting in her home a “reunion” of students who were in her First-Year Seminar on “The Non-Euclidean Revolution” during the fall semester. Despite the intimidating sounding title of that seminar, these students were excited to get together again in the spring semester and catch up on each other’s lives.
25
9:15 p.m. Marvin’s restaurant is a popular meeting place for students, who often enjoy a Garlic Cheese Burger (GCB) and cheese fries, or other well-known Marvin’s food.
8:50 p.m. Nicole Pence (at far right) is participating in a “flower-in” in front of her sorority house, Pi Beta Phi. In this case, individual members of Sigma Chi fraternity are presenting a rose to each member of the sorority. Still one of the most popular Greek traditions on campus, flower-ins occur frequently throughout the semester.
26
11:35 p.m. Nicole Pence (second from right) began the day before 8 a.m. in order to prepare for her morning radio show. Now, she and some friends are in Roy O. West Library, where they often study until the library closes at midnight. And the day isn’t over yet ‌
