Lasell Leaves • Fall 2010

Moving Forward Dear Lasell Alumni and Friends: This issue of Leaves—in a new, reader-friendly magazine format—includes, for the first time, the College’s annual Report On The Year. We think a review of the remarkable progress made over the past fiscal year is worth sharing with all of you, our most loyal supporters, just as a look at what’s happening on campus today and in the future is inspiring.

All of the constituents of the College—faculty, staff, parents, students, alumni, Trustees, Overseers, friends and donors—have contributed to the momentum that continues to propel Lasell to new heights, as evidenced by our being cited for the second consecutive year by The Chronicle of Higher Education as one of the “Great Colleges to Work For,” and by being named one of the top 10 “Great Colleges for a Great Price” in the North region by US News and World Report.

The advances we are making in executing the Strategic Plan put in place three years ago are significant: We can point to another year of record enrollments, with 1,600 full-time undergraduates, an 11% increase this year in the size of the full-time faculty (see pages 12-13), new undergraduate programs in Fashion Communication and Applied Mathematics, three graduate degree programs that did not exist last year at this time (see page 16), an up tick in the percentage of male undergraduates to nearly 35%, an increase in minorities in the student body to nearly 18% and the rising before our eyes of the Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts (see pages 4-5).

In addition, some 40 students will participate in international service learning programs this year, including a new trip to the Amazonian jungles of Brazil; another 20 are slated for academically oriented trips to France or China, and as many as 80 will take a semester to study abroad.

Also in these pages, you will read about some of the remarkable individuals whose passion for education reinforces the College’s mission. Professors such as sociologist Tessa Le Roux (page 15), whose global sensibilities enrich and expand the classroom experience for her students; behind-thescenes staffers who keep the robust Lasell machine humming, such as information technologist Jane Wan (page 16); and welcome additions to our team of administrative professionals, such as the Rev. Dr. Thomas Sullivan, director of the Center for Spiritual Life (page 19).

Your philanthropy, your energy and your support are having a significant impact on everyone who is part of the Lasell family. We thank you for what you have done, for what you are doing and for what you will do in the future. It couldn’t happen without you.

Sincerely,

Eric M. Turner Chairman, Board of Trustees

The Arts in Bloom

T

Take one successful visual artist with experience building college art programs, add a young, cutting-edge art professor, mix with a talented painter and a graphic design whiz—both with loads of teaching experience at Lasell—and you get the College’s new Art and Graphic Design Department.

As the idea of expanding the arts at Lasell has crystalized in recent years, several new faces have joined the faculty to help bring that plan to fruition.

This fall, Serdar Arat came on board as the Diane Heath Beever ’49 Professor of Art and Kenneth Calhoun arrived as the chair of the newly formed Art and Graphic Design Department. They, along with Professors Margo Lemieux and Stephen Fisher, promise to have a marked impact on visual and graphic arts study.

“Big changes are underway related to arts education at Lasell. Tops on the list is a new arts major,” Calhoun tells Leaves (see page 12).

Calhoun adds that one possibility, which has been under development by Lemieux, would train students for the business side of gallery management.

This is an exciting prospect for Arat (see page 12) who managed and developed the art gallery at Concordia College in New York and regularly shows his work in galleries in Manhattan and in Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey.

“For all visual arts on campus, the gallery, in my mind, is the anchor. It is the key place, and also brings in the local community interest,” says Arat, who hopes to lead a future course called Art, Gallery and Museum.

The Fantastic Four: (L to R) Serdar Arat, Kenneth Calhoun, Stephen Fisher and Margo Lemieux.

Arat says the course could have students spending time inside museums and galleries to experience the business side of gallery management.

In the future, Calhoun also would like to offer a studio art major and hopes he and Fisher can look into new graphics courses in 3D animation, games, motion graphics and special effects.

“The classroom work needs to be tightly fitted and responsive to what is happening in the real world,” says Calhoun.

With an entire department devoted to the visual arts, suddenly new energy and ideas about arts courses and graphic design are sprouting.

This new department, alongside the current construction of the Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts, adds a heaping dose of momentum to the rebuilding of the arts on the Lasell campus.

Breaking New Ground, Expanding the Arts

M

Members of the Lasell community gathered in June for the ceremonial groundbreaking for the Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts, which will house state-of-the-art classrooms, faculty offices and will become the permanent home for the Lasell Fashion Collection. The building is named for Lasell alumna Nancy Lawson Donahue ’49, trustee emerita, who, along with her husband Richard, gave the lead gift for the creation of the new building. The new art center is part of Lasell’s Bridge to the Future fundraising initiative.

In attendance at the groundbreaking were President Michael B. Alexander and his wife, Mary Barbara Alexander, members of the Donahue family, members of the Board of Trustees, local dignitaries including State Representative Kay Khan, Yolanda Cellucci, honorary co-chair of the College’s Bridge to the Future fundraising initiative, members of Lasell’s administrative team, Lasell staff and representatives from the architectural, contracting and finance firms for the building.

Donahue, who is co-chair for the fundraising initiative, and her family have been major supporters of the College over the years, providing funding for the Donahue Institute for Values and Public Life and the Donahue Bookstore.

The Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2011.

Digging In: President Michael B. Alexander, State Representative Kay Khan, Nancy Lawson Donahue ‘49 (center), Yolanda Cellucci and RoseMary Fuss, vice chair of the Lasell Board of Trustees, break ground for the new Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts.

Solo Show: Serdar Arat in NYC.

Brushstrokes The arrival of Serdar Arat, Diane Heath Beever ’49 Professor of Art, at Lasell this fall has already raised the profile of the visual arts on and off campus.

Arat, born in Turkey, has lived and studied in the US since graduate school. He had a solo show of his work at Kouros Gallery in Manhattan in October with another exhibition slated later this year at Galeri Nev in Ankara, Turkey. Keep your eyes open in Auburndale, however; Arat hopes to also have his work on the walls of Lasell’s Wedeman Gallery soon.

Leaves recently caught up with the artist who shares some thoughts below: On his NYC exhibition: “This is my fourth solo show in New York. Shadow of the Island is the title of a specific painting but also the title of the series of a dozen paintings.

Originally it goes back to a series called Island of the Dead by Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901). I previously did an homage to that body of work called Island of the Dead and now, as an extension of that, I created Shadow of the Island. Most of my work is metaphorical. Part of the sky and water will come together and be joined, but they look jolted out of place and shifted. They are in balance somehow, but it is a little uneasy.”

On art in general: “Susan Sontag once said, ‘The more personal it is, the more universal it becomes.’ That resonated with me. I don’t make art for social purpose; I go deeper and deeper into my own experience. If there is truth in that experience, then anyone can appreciate it.”

On his art: “The most distinct characteristic is shaped canvases. It looks abstract—but I think all art is based on nature. Really, it is the only experience we have. My work does evoke a natural setting but it is distilled, abstracted to emphasize different moods and states of mind. I try to edit out what isn’t necessary and emphasize the emotional.” 5

Mary Ann Donahue ’53

On Broadway From the Control Room to the Cape During childhood summers, Mary Ann Donahue ’53 and her family would drive through Auburndale from their Arlington, MA home en route to Cape Cod. “The Lasell campus looked so special,” she recalls. “I could only fantasize that someday I might go there myself.”

Slow dissolve to two “wonderful” years as a Lasell undergraduate, where Donahue sang at Symphony Hall with the Orphean Club and, in general, had “a very happy, productive time.”

Her Lasell education landed her a job as a medical secretary, but her extracurricular energy was spent pursuing a passion for the performing arts. Next stop, Boston University for a BFA cum laude in Theatre Arts and an MFA in Theatre Education. “The rest,” she tells Leaves, “is history.”

That history includes a very full, Manhattanbased life as a Broadway and TV producer/writer, a place of prominence in the PBS universe and a continuing career as a consultant and producer/writer for promotional productions and between-program continuity efforts for WNET/Thirteen in New York, KCET in Los Angeles and other public broadcasting outlets.

(If you’ve enjoyed The New Affluence with Jonathan Pond on TV this past year, you’ve seen Donahue’s handiwork; and stay tuned for Vine Talk, an upcoming PBS celebrity wine-tasting series, for which she is coordinating producer.)

Donahue has written scripts for All My Children on ABC, was a production assistant to Allen Funt on Candid Camera, helped launch Charlie Rose nationally on PBS, spent five years working in Spain on American films (including Patton and If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium) and put time in behind the scenes on Broadway musicals with Lucille Ball (Wildcat), George Goebel (Let It Ride) and Patty Duke (Isle of Children).

An inveterate traveler, Donahue divides her time these days primarily between Manhattan’s East Side and the Wareham cottage her grandparents bought just before the Hurricane of 1938. “The Cape is a perfect antidote for the never-ending stimuli of living in New York,” she says, “and vice versa.”

Like so many Lasell alums, Donahue is excited about the College’s renewed emphasis on the arts and performance (see pages 4-5). And she’s been a generous supporter of her alma mater.

“I had a great experience at Lasell, had excellent teachers and made good friends,” she tells Leaves. “Giving something back now is only appropriate.”

Class Acts on The Charles Ever wonder just how many proud Lasell alums actually work on campus?

Leaves did, and we decided to count heads. The grand total: 32! On a sultry summer day, 11 of their number posed for a photo at Lasell’s Stoller Boat House (the other 21 were either vacationing or otherwise unavailable).

The range of College departments that can claim Lasell alums on staff is as impressive as the diverse scope of their individual talents.

First-Year Seminars

People, Politics, Pasta!

The ‘Witch’ in History and Pop Culture? Video Games?

Relationships that Hurt, Heal and Help?

Exploring Superheroes? Italian Food, Film and Culture?

The Art of Political Protest?

Not your father’s college course listing, perhaps, but a roster of First-Year Seminars that speaks clearly to Lasell’s Class of 2014.

This fall, for the first time, Lasell’s popular First-Year Seminars (FYS) are required, three-credit courses, part of the College’s Core Curriculum. During June orientation, students select a Seminar as one of their first-semester classes; similarly, each FYS professor has chosen a topic that he or she is passionate about but may not typically have the chance to teach.

“The small FYS class size (16) allows new students to get to know each other, their peer mentors and, most importantly, a faculty member quite well,” Helena Santos, Lasell’s dean of Advising and First-Year Programs, tells Leaves.

The list of FYS choices represents the diverse spectrum of academic interests and expertise that define Lasell, she adds. “The overarching goal is to support students’ transition into our college community as independent, successful young adults responsible for their own personal and intellectual growth.”

Lasell faculty members are bringing as much enthusiasm to their Seminars of choice as students.

Dennis Frey, associate professor of History and chair of the Department of Humanities, explains his International Studies Seminar takes an historical approach to looking at the American cultural landscape “from within and without,” with a special emphasis on Lasell students “who have left their homelands to attend our American college.”

Hortense Gerardo, assistant professor of Anthropology and Performing Arts, thinks it makes sense for her Custom, Costume and Culture Seminar to pair student interest in fashion with her expertise in cultural anthropology “and approach human behavior about physical attractiveness from a cross-cultural, ethnographic perspective.”

Assistant Professor of Journalism Marie Campagna Franklin describes herself as “an Italian American who is passionate about all things Italian” and hopes to share that ardor with her Seminar in Italian Food, Film and Culture.

Assistant Professor of Communication Brian Wardyga chose to offer Video Games, “a hobby of mine—I’ve collected some 2000 games—since I picked up an Atari 2600 joystick in 1981.”

media matters Silver Alert: Vice President for Lasell Village Paula Panchuck, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Lasell President Michael B. Alexander at the Village.

Lasell College continues to make local, regional and national news.

Recent media appearances include: • Donald Winslow, Lasell’s late, beloved historian, trustee, son of former Lasell President Guy Winslow and author of Lasell: A History of the First Junior College for Women, was the focus of a Boston Globe feature article the day before a September 25 campus memorial service for him at the Yamawaki Arts and Cultural Center (see page 18).

• In Summer 2010, Assistant Professor of Communication Marie Franklin signed on as a columnist with the weekly Newton TAB, where she contributes op-ed commentaries.

• In July 2010, Lasell was recognized in The Chronicle of Higher Education as one of the “Great Colleges to Work For 2010.” The College was cited for its Professional/CareerDevelopment Programs, Teaching Environment and Supervisor/Department-Chair Programs.

The Newton TAB also picked up the story.

• In June 2010, Ashley Medeiros ‘13 won a competition to host two Totally Patriots segments this fall on WBZ-TV.

• In September 2010, U.S. News and World Report named Lasell College one of the “Best Colleges for 2011.” Lasell was ranked ninth for “Great Colleges for a Great Price” and tied for 25th for “Regional Colleges–North.”

• Lasell was mentioned in Boston Magazine along with several other colleges who participated in the second annual Form to Fashion student design competition in late spring 2010.

• Nara Paz ‘09 was profiled in the Boston Sunday Globe Magazine in August 2010 about her rising profile as a fashion designer.

• Renee Clarke ‘10 surfaced in the Daily News Tribune as the winner of the Form to Fashion contest in late spring 2010.

Tessa Le Roux

‘Lights the Fire’ Sociology Professor Tessa Le Roux, director of the Donahue Institute for Values and Public Life and director of International Programs, relocated to the United States from her native South Africa in 1997. Le Roux, whose main scholarly work is in the field of gender and family studies, is widely published in the areas of gender role socialization, domestic work and migration and family ideology. Le Roux’s lifelong passion for teaching, she says, “allows me to light the fire of social justice in the classroom and beyond.” Leaves caught up with the busy academic over the summer, before her travels to Scandinavia.

• Social justice has always been critical to your worldview. How does your work as a Lasell educator help meet this important priority in your life? In the classroom I can help students develop an understanding of society and their own lives as social agents. The Donahue Institute represents sociology in action—it aims to raise awareness of social issues and to encourage activism. Our annual Donahue Distinguished Scholars (luminaries like the late historian Howard Zinn and journalist Liz Walker) challenge us to think critically about the world and reflect on powerful issues like immigration, race and sexuality.

• Your primary scholarly work is in the field of gender and family studies. What drew you to this?

In South Africa the apartheid system separated families, and migration had a huge impact on women’s lives. I remain interested in the irony that women often feel compelled to leave their children behind in order to provide a better life for their families.

• Why is Lasell such a good professional fit for you? At a small institution like Lasell, it is possible to wear more than one hat without getting weighed down by bureaucracy.

Where The Classroom Is The Real World

“The Lasell community has supported me when I most needed it, providing me with the space to pursue my own academic interests.”

Tessa Le Roux: A passion for teaching.

• What books are currently on your night table? Too many and too little time! The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder, Island Beneath the Sea by Isabelle Allende and Made for Goodness by Desmond Tutu. I keep returning, in my reading and academic work, to the immigrant experience. In the meantime, the New Yorkers and New York Times Book Reviews are piling up.

• Deserted island films? My favorites tend to be haunting, often sad and deal with people making sense of unfortunate circumstances.

Babette’s Feast, Il Postino, Wit and Yesterday come to mind.

• Other passions? The outdoors— hiking, backpacking, camping, gardening. Sitting on the rocks watching the ocean is where I feel most at peace. I dream of retiring to a cottage in the woods.

• Why have you chosen to be a “Friend” of the Lasell Fund? In an ideal world, money would not play a role in education; the opportunity should be available to all. Given today’s financial realities, though, I feel it’s important for everyone who benefits from Lasell’s mission, as I do, to support the College.

LASELL GRAD PROGRAMS on Fast Track Starting in January 2011, Lasell College will offer two new master of education degrees in Elementary Education and in Moderate Disabilities. The two new degrees are the latest additions to a growing graduate program at Lasell that now includes a master’s degree in Sport Management, a master’s in Communication and a master’s degree in Management.

“The expansion and diversification of offerings at the graduate level is central to the growth of the College,” says James Ostrow, vice-president for Academic Affairs for Lasell. “This new degree is significant in that it both serves this cause as well as provides new opportunities for enriching the quality of our teacher education programming.”

According to Joan Dolamore, dean of Graduate and Professional Studies, a special graduate workshop for teachers entering the education master’s program is in the works for the summer 2011, as well. “We are thrilled to offer these new degrees and to explore other additions to the graduate offerings,” Dolamore tells Leaves.

Among the possible additions is a “fast-track” master’s in Management, where students can finish a graduate program completely online in 18 months. The College hopes to launch this program in September 2011.

Two new concentrations to existing master’s degrees are also planned in Management: Health Care Management and Entrepreneurship. And in Communication: Health Communication and Intercultural Communication.

Other areas of expansion may include a master’s in Fashion and another in Strength and Conditioning.

Beyond this, the College is building on existing partnerships and seeking to partner with community colleges, non-profit organizations and corporations to meet the education needs of their diverse constituent groups.

Second Life

Jane Wan: From ER to IT During her 25-year nursing career, Newton native Jane Bloomingburg Wan never imagined herself a techie. That is, until 2006, when she landed in Lasell’s Information Technology department. From her Brennan Library ground-floor nook, the College’s IT services manager fields questions, problems and requests from students, faculty and staff—a full plate by any measure, but a far cry from the trauma of hospital triage. Like many interesting professionals on the Lasell campus, Wan began her “first” life in a field unrelated to her current post. “Although they may appear quite different,” she says, “my nursing and IT careers have similarities that I value. Both have challenged me to understand how to adapt the rather rigid rules of technology and protocols to the flexible needs of individuals.”

While “the knack for the technical as well as the nurturing aspects of nursing was always there,” she adds, “I was becoming disheartened at the business-like direction the health care field was heading.”

Wan left the profession 13 years ago, when she and her husband, Nick, adopted a daughter, Lulu, from China to join their family (which includes 19-year-old Katie, a Lasell College freshman, and three rescue dogs). “Once I was home with Lulu, I got involved with the PTO at Katie’s school and then at the local level,” Wan continues. “I trained myself on simple computer skills, found I really enjoyed it and continued trying to solve issues on my own.”

When not responding to the evolving technical needs of the Lasell community, Wan sings with the Lasell Jazz Ensemble, volunteers in animal rescue work and enjoys boating. As for being one of Lasell’s go-to techies? “I find it refreshing to work with students,” she says. “Their enthusiasm and curiosity for life and learning are energizing.”

Village Voice

Anne Wangh

A Doyenne Still On Point Anne Wilson Wangh may well be the only Lasell Village resident to have danced in a high-kick line at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

The 92-year-old former ballerina and doyenne of the international dance community has strong opinions about life and art (she once called the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky “a genius and schizophrenic” in print) and finds the Village a perfect place to cultivate her sensibilities.

“Lasell Village offers residents a continuing intellectual challenge,” Wangh tells Leaves. “The common denominator? We have varied life experiences to share and are still expanding our minds.”

Wangh, the daughter of a New Jersey dentist and artist mother who became a block-print textile pioneer in New York’s ready-to-wear industry, was weaned on the arts “with New York as my mecca from the time my mother saw Pavlova perform,” she says.

A classically-trained ballerina and trailblazer in modern dance and movement therapy/education who still returns to Manhattan periodically “for my dance fix,” the University of Chicago alumna and onetime union organizer for AGVA (the American Guild of Variety Artists) was off stage for 14 years—raising three sons with her psychoanalyst husband on New York’s vibrant Upper West Side.

She returned to the stage in 1956, went on to help establish the Dance Library of Israel (“I once performed at 21 kibbutzim in 28 days”) and managed to amass a remarkable costume collection from years of international travel. In conversation, the sharp and still-agile nonagenarian can go from Renaissance to Baroque, Giselle to Sondheim, in a matter of moments without missing a beat—as the SRO crowd at the Lasell Village Ballroom knows firsthand from attending her popular lecture series on the history of dance.

“We’re a bunch of like-minded people here,” Waugh tells Leaves with a smile. “We think with our heads—and our hearts.”

Remembering Donald J. Winslow: Keeper of History December 21, 1911 - July 10, 2010

Lasell College said farewell to its beloved historian, former trustee and dear friend Don Winslow this summer and gathered for a formal memorial service, hosted by his wife Charlotte, on September 25, 2010 at the Yamawaki Arts and Cultural Center.

The longtime professor and chair of the Boston University English Department was also in many ways the keeper of Lasell’s history.

Winslow was a fixture on campus as a child—born in Karandon House when his father, Guy Winslow, was president—and eagerly shared his vivid memories of those early days. He never strayed too far from Lasell and entertained many from the College at his Maple Street home.

Here are some memories of Winslow gathered by Leaves:

“ “ “

Through the Years: Don Winslow in his office, with wife Charlotte and as a child at Lasell.

Thomas de Witt, president emeritus of Lasell: “During my presidency, so focused on change, Don provided perspective and institutional memory—the English professor reminding the former historian that progress at Lasell also required a celebration of its unique past. Even in his declining years, his home was always open to a steady stream of students and faculty eager for his stories about Lasell’s fascinating history.”

Marilyn Negip, friend and librarian at Lasell: “Some of my favorite memories of Don are the stories he told of his time in Dorset, England where, as a Thomas Hardy scholar, he hopped on his bicycle to knock on the door of Hardy’s sister, Kate.”

Austrian remembers Don’s love of The Times Literary Supplement and how everyone in the neighborhood knew his of affection for the publication. “The Auburndale postmaster would sometimes personally deliver the London-based journal, when it came after regular delivery, to [Don’s] house, knowing how important it was to him.”

“I was always so touched by how quickly and enthusiastically he would respond to my questions.

He kept all his gradebooks from his courses. He was always so committed to his students and to scholarship.”

Silverstein met Winslow by chance during a winter walk on campus 10 years ago and recalls “he was always reading and never ran out of things to say. His mind was as clear as a bell.”

New Coaches Bring New Energy to Athletics Carla Flaherty A new era for the Lasell College women’s basketball team begins this fall/winter season as Carla Flaherty starts in her new post as Head Women’s Basketball Coach and Athletic Administrator.

The women’s basketball program will be built around Flaherty’s philosophy of “recruiting, scouting and overall commitment to scholar athletes.”

Flaherty is excited and optimistic about the upcoming season and says, “The basketball court here at Lasell is 94-feet long and the rims are 10-feet high.

This is the same as any other gym in the nation. In order to build a winning program we need to celebrate what we have. As far as I’m concerned, Lasell offers everything anyone could want or hope for. It is my intention to share that philosophy with as many prospective students as possible.”

Before coming to Lasell, Flaherty was an assistant coach at Bates College, her alma mater, where she helped the team to a 104-53 record. As a student at Bates, Flaherty ranks eighth all-time in women’s basketball scoring with 1,143 career points. She also received a graduate degree from Southern New Hampshire University in 2010.

Caitlin Connolly Caitlin Connolly has joined the Lasell College coaching staff to head the Field Hockey and women’s Lacrosse teams.

Connolly comes to Lasell after holding similar coaching positions during a three-year stint at Daniel Webster College. Prior to Daniel Webster, Connolly served as an assistant coach at Bryant University.

Connolly’s background in field hockey has a distinguished history, having won CCC Rookie of the Year honors.

Connolly holds the all-time record for career points scored (76) at Regis College and the record for most points in a season (26).

Greg Harjula For the Lasell Baseball team, 2011 marks a changing of the guard as threeyear assistant coach Greg Harjula takes over the reins of the program.

Harjula enters his new position with a wealth of experience, having captained the Eastern Nazarene College baseball team throughout his senior season. In addition to his collegiate career, Harjula also plays for the South Boston Saints of the Yawkey Baseball League of Boston.

No stranger to Lasell College Baseball, Harjula served from 2008-09 under former head coach Jim Dolan.

Connolly also brings with her assistant coach Adam Green from Daniel Webster College. Green will look to develop a high-powered offense for the Lasers.

Off and Running

Sophomore Patrick Slight is on a Roll

P

Patrick Slight is the guy who—with no reservations—will tell you he dreams of being Boomer, the Lasell College mascot.

He had the courage to question his assumptions and then change his mind. He arrived last year with guns blazing, and he’s never looked back.

Recruited for his speed on a Cross Country course, Slight has not disappointed.

The problem is, Slight wouldn’t have the time to do it.

Between being president of the Class of 2013, a peer mentor for a First-Year Seminar, a resident assistant in Rockwell Hall, a tour guide for the Admissions office, an orientation leader and a Cross Country record breaker—where would he find the time?

Last year as a freshman he broke Lasell’s 1,000-meter record and the 4x8 distance medley record with other members of the Cross Country team.

“It’s a competition with yourself,” explains Slight, who was nicknamed “Chainsaw” during his successful high school running career.

“It makes me happy to be here.

I have been myself since I walked on this campus freshman year. I have a lot of pride wearing the school uniform colors and being class president,” Slight says, his love for Lasell palpable.

And, unbelievably, the Franklin, MA native almost didn’t wind up in Auburndale.

Slight is the student who knew in 7th grade he wanted to be a businessman and entrepreneur.

He still holds onto his initial idea to create a community sports complex in the suburbs akin to the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston. He admits he had his career all planned out. Babson, with a strong business entrepreneurship program, was

Slight, who thrives on his internal drive and creativity, gained the moniker during a particularly important race as a senior.

his first choice for college and he was accepted. It was in the bag until…he visited Lasell.

“I came to recruitment night [for Cross Country] at Lasell, and everyone was so nice and welcoming. I left that next day and knew I was in trouble with the decision I thought I had already made,” Slight tells Leaves.

During the last 200 meters of that race, his coach yelled that he needed to beat 14 runners for the team to advance to the state championships. So, Slight kicked it in.

“There is nothing that compares to when the gun goes off and everything just disappears,” he says.

If Slight’s next three years are anything like his first, no doubt more records will be broken.

Joan Weiler Arnow ’49

‘An Enriching and Benevolent Life’

W

When Joan Marianne “Jackie” Weiler was a Chandler girl at Lasell in the late 1940s, she met a Massachusetts College of Pharmacy student named Robert Arnow who wooed her with “corned beef sandwiches left on the Chandler porch after lights out.” The couple soon married and, over the next six decades, forged a life of devotion to Jewish cultural and civic ideals, to the arts, to Israel, to touching the lives of thousands of less fortunate…and to Lasell College.

With the death of Joan Weiler Arnow ’49 in June 2010, the College lost one of its most steadfast and distinguished supporters.

Joan Weiler Arnow December 17, 1929 - June 29, 2010

“Joan and Bob are pillars on which the success of Lasell rests,” says President Michael B. Alexander. “With all of their achievements throughout the years,” he adds, “they remained remarkably modest. Joan translated her beliefs into action and leaves a deep imprint on her alma mater.

We are all challenged to carry on that legacy of compassion and generosity.”

22

Lasell Leaves • Fall 2010

“Hers was an enriching and benevolent life,” recalls Lasell President Emeritus Thomas de Witt, who enjoyed a long friendship with the Arnows during his presidency. “Joan was an elegant, gracious and goodhearted person who partnered with her husband, Bob, to have a profound impact on Lasell’s present and future,” he continues. “One of the hallmarks of their philanthropy was its quiet, unassuming nature. Their recipe for making a philanthropic difference blended vision, commitment and constancy of generosity.”

Imbued with a strong family tradition of giving back, Joan Arnow indeed forged a philanthropic path with personal meaning. Early on, she recognized the value of public service programs with financial support for the College’s Center for Community-Based Learning. She became a trustee of the College, and her husband was an overseer and member of the Lasell Village board.

The couple established Lasell’s first endowed academic chair, the Joan Weiler Arnow ’49 Professorship (now held by biology Professor Stephen Sarikas) to recognize the value of dedicated faculty, and served as honorary co-chairs of the Lasell 150 Campaign.

At her 50th Lasell reunion in 1999, Joan Arnow received the 1999 Lasell Medallion.

In addition to her husband of 61 years, Arnow leaves four children: David, Peter, Ruth ’80 and Joshua Arnow; a brother, Alan Weiler; 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

In 2007, Nina became editor of Marketing Daily, a five-day-aweek online trade newsletter. Then Marketing Daily’s Manhattan-based parent company approached her to start an e-newsletter aimed at the Hispanic population. Soon after, Nina was asked to start other weeklies. In 18 months, Nina was responsible for one daily newsletter and 10 weeklies. Her day begins at 7:30 am, and she works on weekend mornings and most holidays. Nina is not complaining.

“This is just the new reality,” she says.

Allison Hague Sargent, president of Allison Sargent Events of Montclair, NJ, was recently named one of New Jersey’s 2010 Best 50 Women in Business. An independent panel of judges selected the top 50 candidates based on dedication to business growth, professional and personal accomplishments, community involvement and advocacy for women.

“I am thrilled to be included in this distinguished group,” says Allison. “In my 15 years in business, I have made reaching out as much of a priority as reaching up; to be recognized for both my success and my commitment to giving back is a very special honor.”

Where The Classroom Is The Real World

The Alumni Office thanks Terri Canavan Loe for representing Lasell College at the presidential inauguration at Baylor University in Waco, TX. According to Terri there were over 300 educational institutions represented in the procession. Terri says, “Thank you again for the opportunity to represent Lasell. It was even more meaningful to me because I worked for Baylor Hospital in Dallas in the early 1980s after graduating with a nursing degree.”

Caroline KnoenerSkowronek participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure, tallying 60 mile. Caroline writes: “In February 2009 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was fortunate to have had it detected early, and I can now say I am cancer free. During the walk, I met, walked and socialized with survivors, friends and family members.

On the first day, I met three Lasell alums who were walking in honor of one of their mothers, a breast cancer survivor. We all had lunch on the Lasell athletic field. On the second day, I met up with Liz Kasa ’03 who had waited two hours at a cheering station to see me. The three days of walking were hard, but the support from people who came out to cheer us on was a great pick-me-up. My current goal is to put my energies into working to help to defeat cancer.”

Lasell Leaves • Fall 2010

www.lasell.edu

The Scoop from Lasell Alums Looking for the perfect gift for this holiday season?

Leaves thought it would be fun to ask some talented and enterprising alums about their 2010 holiday faves (and get student illustrator Kristin Liberacki ‘11 to create some whimsical graphics). Enjoy!

Headbands: Miraculous Decoy Headbands are everywhere! I consider them a genre of hair extensions, though more enhancing, colorful and comfortable. You can find a headband informal, plain or adorned with feathers, gems or flowers, at prices reasonable to extravagant.

Michele Poirier Gorman ‘60, Educational Consultant, West Hartford, CT

The Jersey Scarf: Cozy and Cool “This may be one of the most essential elements for the fall/winter season. It’s a shield, yes, but it can also spruce up the most unfashionable men’s outfit. Jersey scarves are really big right now with lots of texture; they are cozy and cool.”

Christian DiPietro ‘10 Design Assistant, Little Marc Jacobs New York, NY

Snowboards: Take Flight “The new rocker-camber technology combines traditional camber shape with the spring-loaded rocker design and is found throughout the Burton line, for example, in the Custom Flying V™ snowboard with its crisp snap and added pop.”

Amy Sundberg ‘04 Buyer, Cadillac Mountain Sports Bar Harbor, ME

Junior Director’s Chair: Personal and Practical “When my son was born 28 years ago, I received an adorable junior director’s chair with his name on it. It was lightweight, folded, doubled as a booster seat and always provided him with just the right size support for his little bottom. It’s the perfect baby or young child gift and can be used until age four.”

For many years, Greene divided her time between her native Gloversville, NY and Delray Beach, and for the last several years she resided at Abbey Delray South in Delray Beach. “Mother was a fabulous lady with tremendous grace, style and wit which she exhibited right to the end,” her daughter, Sarah Peck of Wellington, FL, tells Leaves. “She treasured her lifelong and close relationship with Lasell.” Greene is also survived by a son, Douglas Green of Vancouver, Washington, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A loyal and generous Lasell alumna, Greene was honored on her 90th birthday in 2000 with the naming of a staircase alcove in her former undergraduate residence, Gardner House.

Alumni Donors More than 2,000 alumni contributed to the success of Lasell College in 2009-2010. Gifts to the Lasell Fund (see page 39) provided the resources that enable our students and faculty to thrive in the classroom, on the playing field and in service to the community.

Other gifts, including those to the Bridge to the Future Campaign (see page 43), helped strengthen Lasell’s endowment and program support and make possible muchneeded additional space for faculty and students, particularly within the creative and applied arts.

Bridge to the Future Fundraising Initiative Bridge to the Future is a three-year fundraising initiative launched in fiscal year 2010 to provide for Lasell’s facility and operating needs, which have resulted from the College’s tremendous growth in recent years. Its three core objectives are to raise $5 million dollars to build the new Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts (below) and to support other current building projects underway; to raise $3 million dollars for Lasell’s endowment (primarily through planned gifts); and to raise at least $2 million in gifts over the three-year period in support of the Lasell Fund.

The following list includes those generous donors who have made special gifts and pledges, in addition to their Lasell Fund donations, in support of the Bridge to the Future Fundraising Initiative.

Year graduated: 1980.

Red Sox Fanatic and Lasell Fan

Major: Retail Management/Merchandising.

Residence: Gardner House, third floor, both years!

Current occupation: Small business owner— petsitting and dog walking.

Lisa Simmons ’80

Dream job: As much as I would love to be a Fenway Park vendor, I actually would like to open my own yarn and knitting shop.

Favorite Lasell memory: The proximity to the city while still being in the suburbs, and being able to take advantage of Boston’s city life… museums, clubs and history.

Why do you give back/stay involved with Lasell? When I returned for my 25th reunion, I realized that the years I spent at Lasell were where I did most of my growing as an individual.

Since then, I have become involved in Lasell activities and have regularly given back to the College. I would like to see more of my classmates join me at alumni events and our reunions.
