Education Magazine Marquette University
I have designed the College of Education Magazine for Marquette University for the past 3 years. In this most recent issue we wanted to highlight the passion of 4 recent alumni. My concept — to use sparklers — had all sorts of interesting challenges, including not setting off the fire alarms.
Catching
their
SPARK
Look elsewhere for apathy and boredom. Again and again, the college helps ignite in students a passion for shaping the lives of others.
Undergraduates who enroll in Marquette University’s College of Education are remarkable students.
Catching
their
They are not making the same choice as most of their friends. They are choosing to do something extraordinary with their lives:
SPARK
to become educators.
The career they pursue is a calling — an ongoing opportunity to help others overcome obstacles and dream new dreams, even in the midst of trying circumstances. They are part of a program — and a college community — defined by its rigor, its compassion and its commitment to social justice. A college with a soul, as dean Dr. Bill Henk describes it. None of this is to say that there are not also plenty of sensible reasons to enroll in the college. Consider the following: Students immediately begin building valuable classroom experience. Through collaboration with Marquette’s Service Learning Program, students are immersed in local schools starting their first semester. Once admitted to the teacher preparation program as sophomores, students complete 40 hours more than the state-required 100 hours of school-based field work.
If you’re looking for students and recent graduates who are not only well-prepared for their careers but also deeply passionate about them, the College of Education may be the perfect place to start your search.
Students in Marquette’s teacher education program are in demand. The fact is, our graduates get the jobs. Every Class of 2015 student seeking a job in the classroom got one well before the year began. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that there is teacher shortage nationally, including in metropolitan areas of Wisconsin and Illinois. An education degree from Marquette helps open doors. Particularly in the Milwaukee area, principals and administrators reach out to the college seeking our well-qualified candidates for their open positions. Our reputation precedes us. The College of Education is here to help students find a path that suits them. Whether students want to study abroad, tack on another major or become involved on campus in myriad ways, faculty and staff are here to make sure students get what they need to graduate.

As important as these reasons are, the value of study in the College of Education can’t be understood in purely objective terms. Students find themselves here — academically, personally and spiritually — through a sense of mission that comes to define them. And, for each student, this discovery process involves a journey that is uniquely theirs, as the following stories reveal.

BILL WAYCHUNAS | ARTS ’09 Based on his aptitude for science and math, Bill Waychunas considered going into engineering, until a high school course in architecture and engineering bored him and made him fear a life confined to a cubicle. Sorting things out around the same time he was getting serious about applying to college, he enrolled in an Invitation to Teach course. While working in a sixth-grade classroom, a light bulb went on. “I can vividly remember racing home after school and erasing the box on my Marquette application that said engineering and checking the boxes for history and secondary education.”
semester his freshman year field placement as a tutor at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. An immersion trip to New York with the Center for Urban Education was equally influential. “I had the chance to see with my own eyes that it was possible to provide a high-quality education in even the most challenging of settings. After this, I was hooked and knew that my fate lay in the schools of underserved urban communities.“
Since then, that small spark has exploded into a passion for urban education that led Waychunas to help the Noble Network of Chicago establish in 2012 a new charter high school, Baker College Prep.
Nevertheless, as he was teaching in a Las Vegas high school a few years after graduation, he felt a sense of “built-up frustration,” a sense his school wasn’t doing enough to promote success in its students. When he and his wife, Natalie Shane, Arts ’09, decided to move back to the Midwest, he Googled “best charter school in Chicago.” That led him to the Noble Network and the opportunity to help its leaders bring its high-performing model to Chicago’s impoverished far south side.
This isn’t to say, though, that he didn’t second-guess his decision. Arriving at Marquette, Waychunas still wavered. “I was giving teaching a try to see if it was something that I truly loved,” he recalls, which made him grateful that the college’s program gave him meaningful classroom time earlier than others he had considered. Teaching turned out to be a fine fit and urban education an even better one. Moved by the startling obstacles faced by students in high-poverty schools, he extended by an additional
Waychunas finds lessons from his experience to share with students moving into their field placements and first teaching jobs. “Find the places that are making it happen. Nothing is more powerful than that,” he notes. “The bottom line is that teachers change lives. I’ve been lucky to have some outstanding teachers who ignited in me a passion for learning that still burns brightly to this day. Maybe someday, some students will say the same things about me.” — CALLEY HOSTAD Marquette University 7
Engineer Magazine Marquette University
For the feature story about creativity in engineering, I developed the concept and then designed and art directed the cover, working directly with a photo-collage illustrator.
Making the college a place where creativity can thrive
IS GETTING CREATIVE
C O L L A B O R AT I N G Blending engineering and design Ropella sees significant potential in the college’s partnership with the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. For nearly a decade, MIAD’s industrial design students have partnered with Marquette engineering students to work on senior design projects. Dr. Jay Goldberg, P.E., says engineering students don’t always understand why they might need any help from an industrial designer, but one look at some of the prototypes they produce might make it obvious. “They’re functional, but they might have sharp edges and wires hanging out of them, and I can’t figure out where the ‘on’ button is,” says Goldberg, director of the healthcare technologies management program, Lafferty professor of engineering and a clinical professor of biomedical engineering. After engineering seniors collaborate with the MIAD students, the final prototypes they present in May typically are more intuitive to use, safer and more aesthetically pleasing. Along the way, the process exposes MIAD and Marquette students to new perspectives.
Ropella sees a strong future for the MarquetteMIAD partnership — perhaps adding programs that give students the chance to work together as early as freshman year and having faculty collaborate on research. In a recent brainstorming session, faculty members from both institutions were struck by how similar they were in their approaches to education. “They might use different words or vocabulary, but they’re very similar in terms of what we want to see in our ultimate product,” Ropella says. “So that’s definitely going forward. We’re already strategizing about how we can take advantage of each other’s curriculums and how we exchange students.” Goldberg says only a few engineering programs across the country allow engineering and industrial design students to collaborate on projects, giving Marquette a chance to stand out and perhaps catch the attention of those students with a creative streak. “This is an opportunity for people to be creative,” he says. “So if someone has a creative streak, I would say think about engineering.” n

One of Scheidt’s doctoral students, Dr. Aaron Suminski, Eng ’00, Grad ’06, spent long hours developing a pneumatic robot to do the job. “I remember lying in the scanner for more than six hours straight in our quest to collect that initial brain imaging data,” Scheidt says. “No small part of that time was spent with Aaron finding creative fixes to limitations in his robot’s hardware and software.” To take their first steps toward building human knowledge of the inner working of the brain, creative engineering was essential. “You can’t simply say, ‘I’m strong in the subjects of math and science.’ That’s just part of what makes a successful engineer.” Scheidt says. “Other key ingredients are a strong sense of curiosity and the drive needed to overcome obstacles standing in the way. Overcoming those obstacles is where creativity is needed.” That’s why some of Scheidt’s most memorable students are the ones who catch him after class, asking for advice about projects they are working on in their spare time. “Those are the ones who are going to be successful,” he says. “You can’t stop them. Those are the engineers who are going to change the world.” n
Creativity in service: Engineers Without Borders
IMPROVISING

Some of the college’s most creative work is found in its research. Dr. Andrew Williams recently was named one of Milwaukee Magazine’s “20 most creative Milwaukeeans” for his work with humanoid robots. Williams, Grad ’95, is John P. Raynor, S.J., Distinguished Chair and director of the Humanoid Engineering and Intelligent Robotics Lab. His research uses those technologies to address childhood obesity.
As part of those studies, Scheidt and his team design robotic devices to move patients’ limbs and study how they respond to those motions. Some of Scheidt’s robots must be able to work in concert with magnetic resonance imaging scanners to monitor how a person’s brain responds to robot-induced limb motions.

Marquette’s Engineers Without Borders chapter has sent groups of students to villages in Guatemala and Honduras to build bridges, create clean water delivery systems and even wire village-wide electrical grids. Students must adapt the designs they made in the classroom to fit unexpected and changing conditions on the ground. They work with volunteers from the village who don’t speak any English. And, if they need a part in the middle of the jungle, they can’t exactly just run to the local hardware store. “Nothing works the way it’s supposed to,” says Dr. Mark Federle, P.E., adviser to the EWB chapter. “In my mind, we’re using creativity almost every step of the way.”

One of their most recent projects was a 255-foot-long pedestrian bridge to help villagers cross a river gorge in La Nueva Providencia, Guatemala. The bridge required support cables to keep it from swaying too much in the wind, but the installation plans they’d brought with them didn’t fit the conditions they found on location. Students had to improvise while working 100 feet in the air, measuring and installing on the fly to make sure each of the wires that tied the bridge to its support cables ended up in exactly the right spot to keep it from swaying. “The problem-solving process of engineering demands creativity,” says Federle, associate dean of academic affairs, professor, and McShane Chair in Construction Engineering and Management. “And I think you’ll find yourself using more creativity on a daily basis in engineering than perhaps almost any career.” n

RoboCup 2014 Shooting for their goals BY ANDY BRODZELLER
Established two years ago, Marquette’s Humanoid Engineering and Intelligent Robotics Lab is making impressive progress on its lofty goals. The lab qualified for the RoboCup, an annual international robotics and artificial intelligence competition. The team traveled in July to Brazil, where their robots played soccer against teams from across the globe. The team finished fifth out
of the six teams in its division, but that didn’t lessen the achievement. The largest robotics event in the world, the competition is a serious platform for research and learning. The team will apply the lessons it learned to the lab’s goal of creating assistive humanoid robots that will address global problems, including childhood obesity and low literacy levels.

The war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has claimed more than 6 million lives since 1996, and mass rape continues to be used as a strategy of war, often spreading HIV/AIDS to the survivors. In an effort to repair the shattered lives of victims of these atrocities, the late Lyn Lusi and her husband, Dr. Jo Lusi, founded the HEAL Africa Hospital. The program’s compassionate healing addresses the physical, social and spiritual needs of its patients. HEAL Africa works from the principle that lasting change can’t be imposed but comes from within communities themselves. Since 2003, HEAL Africa has performed more than 1,500 fistula repair surgeries, provided primary care and post-rape counseling to more than 30,000 women, established 31 safe houses, trained 90,000 community activists in HIV/AIDS prevention and care, and funded more than 1,500 microgrants for families. Lyn Lusi passed away from cancer in March 2012. Lyn’s husband, Dr. Jo Lusi, and her daughter, Nadine are present to represent HEAL Africa’s work and honor her memory.

Presidential Signage Marquette University
In celebration of a new Marquette University president, I designed 6 wall signs, each one honoring a past MU president.
Rev. Stanislaus P.
Lalumiere, S.J. Marquette University President
1887- 89 When Father Lalumiere and a Jesuit brother came to Milwaukee in 1857 to establish a preparatory school, a local newspaper proclaimed: “They are the most renowned educators in the world.” Admiration for Jesuit education grew as Milwaukeeans came to know and love the Jesuit who worked diligently to establish a first-rate parish school and later to secure a charter incorporating Marquette College. Although Archbishop John Martin Henni is the recognized founder of Marquette, Father Lalumiere is regarded as a founding father. The university’s current Lalumiere Hall is the latest of three buildings named in his honor.
Rev. John P.
Raynor, S.J. Marquette University President
1965-90 As the longest-serving president in Marquette’s history, Father Raynor could now claim an astounding historical fact: More than one-half of Marquette’s living alumni graduated when the university was under his stewardship. During his presidency, campus acreage nearly tripled and key buildings were added, including McCormick Hall, Todd Wehr Chemistry, Todd Wehr Physics, Lalumiere Hall and the Helfaer Theatre. Father Raynor also changed the three-member Board of Regents into a Board of Trustees designed to leverage the talents of Milwaukee leaders to the university’s advantage. The Board grew to 29 members with eight Jesuits and 21 laymen and laywomen serving Marquette.
Marquette University wall signage
Historic Choice President Michael R. Lovell joins the presidential gallery that recognizes five who led Marquette University during extraordinary periods of growth. As the 24th president of Marquette, President Lovell is the first layperson to lead the university in its more than 130-year history. A proven leader and accomplished engineer known for fostering innovation and catalytic partnerships, President Lovell embraced the opportunity to combine his deep Catholic faith with his profession at a premier university. He guides Marquette in the same spirit as the 23 Jesuit priests before him — ignited in faith, alive in inquiry and forward in service.

TimeSlips I designed the TimeSlips Training Manual that teaches a storytelling method for people with dementia. The manual integrates lots of silly images that are actually used in the TimeSlips storytelling technique.

What Does CREATIVITY Feel Like? To understand creativity, you have to experience it. Here is an exercise that helps you feel the shift from left to right brain.
#1
CREATIVE EXERCISE Think about yourself for a minute.
What kind of a person are you? What is the essence of your personality? Do you do a million projects at once or one at a time? Are you a gatherer of many people or do you prefer the company of one good friend? Now, translate the “essence” of your personality into the following 3 things: an animal
a moving vehicle
a kitchen utensil
Translating yourself into something else is an act of creativity that uses symbolic language. You just made a metaphor… “I am a moose!” or “I am a school bus!”
Inside pages of the TimeSlips training manual
If this was tough for you, don’t worry, we’ll try another exercise later.
Now that you know you’re creative... let’s try another creative exercise!
#2
CREATIVE EXERCISE Pick an image from the TimeSlips collection (online or in the Story Kit) and write your own creative story based on that image. Remember, the more specific details you can think of, the better the story will be. If you get stuck, think about answering some core questions:
who is this? where does it take place? why? when?

UNITE
Our 7th and 8th graders placed 1st and 2nd in the prestigious St. Thomas More High School Math Meet.
MIDDLE SCHOOL DRAMA (On the stage, not the hallways.) Students can participate in a professionally-directed musical each year. Previous productions include State Fair, Peter Pan, and Mulan.
ANDROID OR APPLE? LAPTOP OR TABLET? Learning is personal, and so is technology preference, so students bring their own best-fit devices — just like in the mobile world around them.

Invitation For the past few years I have designed the St. Robert School Emerald Auction invitation.
The “Luck” clover shape is a die cut
Luck alone does not a
shamrock make
Inside flap
Saturday, March 15, 2014 The Italian Conference Center 631 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee
The Legend of the Shamrock and the Emerald Auction The legend of the shamrock holds that St. Patrick used a three-leaf clover to teach the Irish about the Holy Trinity: three-in-one. While the history is unclear, what’s certain is that over the years, rare four-leaf clovers have come to be especially prized, with a petal apiece symbolizing Faith, Hope and Love—and the Good Lord adding a fourth for “luck.” What better symbol, then, for the St. Robert Emerald Auction? That's why, for 41 years, a shamrock has graced this most important annual fundraiser. Please grace us with your presence this year!
