ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

U.S. News & World Report ranks Rollins first in South for third year in a row AT ROLLINS COLLEGE, WE KNOW WE’RE great. It appears the rest of the world understands that, too. For the third consecutive year, Rollins garnered the number one spot among 121 Southern master’s-level universities in the annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges,” released by U.S. News & World Report this fall. From best class size to best faculty to best value in the South, the rankings may seem to speak for themselves. But they don’t tell the whole story of what sets Rollins apart from its closest competitors…and even some of the most renowned universities in the country. • At 63 percent, Rollins College has a higher percentage of courses with an enrollment less than 20 than any school ranked among the top 10 in the South. Rollins also has a higher percentage of courses with an enrollment less than 20 than Rice (62 percent), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (61 percent), University of California - Berkeley (61 percent), Cornell University (60 percent), and University of Notre Dame (55 percent). • At 93 percent, Rollins has a higher percentage of full-time faculty than Harvard (92 percent), Columbia (91 percent), Dartmouth (91 percent), Yale (89 percent), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (89 percent). At 10 to 1, our student/faculty ratio is the best among the top 10 schools in the South. • No institution ranked among the South’s top 10 has more financial resources than Rollins. While the overall rankings are very close for the institutions in second to fifth place, Rollins is the clear frontrunner, beating out the number-two school by five points. Rollins was also ranked first in the South among private colleges in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” category, which relates academic quality with the net cost of attendance for a student receiving the average level of financial aid. —Ann Marie Varga ’82 FAST FACTS... • Rollins’ endowment of more than $310 million places it in the top 10 percent of the more than 3,600 universities and colleges in America. • At Rollins College, one of every seven full-time professors holds an endowed chair. • More than 45 percent of Rollins College students study abroad. More than 75 percent of Rollins MBA students travel abroad. • According to the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), Rollins outperforms its peer colleges in many key areas. More Rollins students: —participate in community service —participate in a living-learning community —ask questions or contribute to class discussion —work on a research project with a faculty member • With the addition of men’s and women’s lacrosse this year, Rollins has 23 athletic teams, many nationally ranked.

The organization promotes engaged teaching and learning through organized service projects to develop citizenship skills and values. “Rollins really deserves the substantial recognition they’ve achieved in this area,” said Florida Campus Compact’s executive director, DeeDee Rasmussen. “The College has studied and implemented the best practices in the field.” In celebration of the awards, Winter Park’s mayor declared Friday, October 26, 2007 “Rollins’ Community Engagement Day” in the City.—Jeni Flynn Hatter

The MBA program a t Rollins’ Crummer Graduate School of Business was ranked 37th among U.S. business schools by Forbes magazine in its September 9, 2007 issue, jumping 10 spots from last year and earning the highest national ranking ever for the school. No other business school in Florida appeared in Forbes’ top 50 and the only universities in the Southeast whose business schools were ranked higher were the University of Virginia, Duke, Emory, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, and Georgia Tech. Among private institutions, Crummer ranked 19th. The criterion Forbes used in its ranking is a relatively simple but profound measure: return on investment—in this case, for 2002 graduates—determined by comparing the cost of attaining an MBA to the monetary rewards for obtaining the degree. The magazine asked graduates what their salary was in any three of the first five years after graduation, as well as the year before they started their MBA programs. Researchers then deducted the cost of education and the salary lost while attending school to determine the net gain. In computing the rankings, Forbes calculated that a Rollins full-time MBA degree, through increased earning potential, pays for itself in slightly more than three years and provides as much as a 72 percent return on investment. Rollins MBA grads from 2002 earned, on average, $47,000 more in three of the five years after graduation. Moreover, only six schools showed a higher percentage gain. —Warren Miller ’90MBA

Off-campus housing for MBA students Imagine having to turn down your top-choice graduate school because you couldn’t find an affordable place to live. For many international and domestic students considering the Crummer Graduate School of Business, this is the reality. Soon, this may no longer be a deciding factor. In August, Rollins College purchased two apartment buildings to house Crummer School full-time students. Together, the buildings offer 28 units—20 one-bedroom units and eight two-bedroom units. Located west of New York Avenue, between Welbourne Avenue and New England Avenue, the apartments are less than a 10minute walk from Crummer Hall. In addition to the close proximity to campus, the residents will have the opportunity to develop a sense of community through living and learning with fellow students. Following exterior and interior renovations, units will be furnished and ready for the first students by August 2008.—Kathryn Pichan FALL 2007

H O LT N E W S INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT—Professor of Counseling Kathryn Norsworthy received the 2007 Outstanding International Psychologist Award, recognizing two decades of international work, at the American Psychological Association national conference in August. Collaborating with global colleagues in activist consultation, teaching, and research, Norsworthy has focused on integrating Eastern and Western psychology, building community mentalhealth response systems in post-tsunami projects, and building peace in South and Norsworthy Southeast Asia.

RIVER EXPLORATION—Adjunct Instructor Leslie Kemp Poole ’91MLS and Florida Community College instructor Jennifer Chase trace the 1933 trip Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings ’39H and Dessie Smith made down the St. Johns River in a documentary film called In Marjorie’s Wake. In their seven-day, (l-r) Poole ’91MLS v i d e o e d journey, and Chase inspired by Rawlings’ Cross Creek, the intrepid educators explore the environmental and cultural impact of the river and visit places mentioned in the renowned book. The documentary, produced by Equinox Documentaries, Inc., will air in Florida on PBS in November and nationally in February 2008. CHINA ENLIGHTENMENT—Wenxian Zhang, associate professor and head of Archives and Special Collections, led a field study to China in May that included Arts & Sciences students and faculty; Holt School students and their dean, Sharon Carrier; and Crummer Graduate School of Business faculty. Together, they explored the Great Wall, Beijing’s Forbidden City, the Yungang Stone Cave, Shaolin Temple, and modern Shanghai. Student Web logs describe how surprising and memorable the encounters with another culture were. An edible fungus that looked like French fries, delicacies called “blood bars,” a monkey dressed in a circus suit, and a street-side chicken beheading made Rollins students realize that “we should respect each other’s cultural differences.” In her journal from the trip, Carrier wrote about a 4,000-person rural farming village near Datong where a farmer/motorcycle “taxi” driver invited the group into the three-bedroom home that has been his family’s dwelling for 100 years. The farmer revealed that, while parents in the village are emphasizing education these days, only 15 of 60 high-school graduates go to college, and only two go to high-quality colleges.—Reneé Anduze

ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

Annie celebrates 75th season in style Actress Dana Ivey ’63 and director Fred Chappell ’64 return to the home stage as guest artists ON MARCH 29, 1932,

THE

British-born actress Annie Russell came out of retirement to appear in the Rollins College production of Robert Browning’s In a Balcony. It was opening night at the brand-new theater named for her—a gift to Rollins College from her friend Mary Curtis Bok. Seventy-five years later, the Annie Russell Theatre is the heart and soul of the oldest theater program in Florida and one of the most prestigious theater programs in America. Rollins is celebrating the “Annie’s” landmark 75th season by featuring a lineup worthy of the theater’s rich tradition. A production of Peter Shaffer’s psychological thriller Equus kicked off the season in September. The play was selected because of its significance in Rollins history: many will recall the stirred emotions and protests that arose when the play, which contains nudity, was first presented at the Annie in 1979. This fall’s production of Equus was directed by Thomas Ouellette, director of the Annie Russell Theatre and professor of theatre arts. No season at the Annie would be complete without a musical, and Gypsy, featuring a host of Stephen Sondheim classics, was a perfect fit for this celebratory season. The November production was directed and choreographed by Robert Sherry, professor of theatre arts and dance. “Gypsy is often called the perfect musical because there are shows within the show, so the songs don’t always have to forward the plot,” said Scottie Campbell ’96, former audience services coordinator. “The actors can sing many different songs whenever they want throughout the play.” A highlight of the season will be the guest appearance of five-time Tony Award nominee and recent Theater Hall of Fame inductee Dana Ivey ’63, who will return to the stage that launched her professional acting career to portray Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. Another guest alumnus, noted director Fred Chappell ’64, will return to Rollins to direct the play. This spring’s performance, slated for February 15-23, represents the only time a play has been performed three times at Rollins (The Important of Being Earnest also was performed at the Annie in 1964 and 1986). The Annie’s 75th season will conclude with a venture into innovative territory: the theater’s first-ever improvised comedy, Murder We Wrote. Created and directed by improv artist David Charles, assistant professor of theatre arts and dance, the performance will feature eight actors who create a story on the spot using long-form improv to perform a murder mystery. A unique twist is that even the actors won’t know the identity of the murderer. During each show, the audience will randomly select the victim, killer, and murder weapon from an oversized deck of cards— setting the scene for a truly unrepeatable adventure. The show runs April 18-26, 2008. In addition, the 75th-anniversary season will feature a dance performance, Rollins Dance XXII, in March as well as a Second Stage Series. Watch for a special feature on the Annie Russell Theatre and its 75th-anniversary season in the Summer 2008 issue of the Rollins Alumni Record.—Heather Read

STUDENTS GET JUMP ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH

ROLLINS STUDENTS HAVE JUMPED ON THE BUS—the Join Us in Making Progress (JUMP) bus, to be exact. A gift to Rollins’ Office of Community Engagement from alumnus Mark Miller ’70, the JUMP bus has logged 4,500 miles in community-service missions since arriving on campus in March 2007. Its travels have included a summer trip to New Orleans, where students helped victims of Hurricane Katrina by clearing debris. This fall, members of the Rollins lacrosse teams took the bus throughout Central Florida to gather donated supplies for U.S. solders in Afghanistan and Iraq, and 15 students traveled to Ocala, Florida to work on nature trails for people with physical disabilities. Miller, who majored in philosophy and minored in religion at Rollins, explained that his desire to support community outreach was inspired by one of his favorite professors, Arnold Wettstein ’06H, dean emeritus of the Knowles Memorial Chapel and professor emeritus of religion. Miller remembers being moved when he heard Wettstein had taken a group of students on a service-learning trip to Jamaica about 10 years ago. When he learned transportation was hindering Rollins’ community-outreach efforts, he decided the JUMP bus was a perfect gift. “I am a great believer in helping to influence good deeds,” Miller said. “Rollins is a shining beacon, and the mission statement of creating global citizens and responsible leaders is why I wanted to contribute back to the Rollins community this way.” A Maryland native and the son of a breeder of Arabian horses, Miller owns a horse farm and Arabian Nights dinner theater in Central Florida. He credits Rollins for making him the businessman he is today. “I am a happy alumnus who is just doing what Rollins College has taught me to do,” he said. “I’m being a responsible leader.”—Stephanie Ellenburg ’09

Bafoussam, Cameroon and wanted to live in Orlando, Florida, you’d have to travel more than 6,100 miles, learn how to speak English, and adapt to an entirely different culture. Just ask Tars basketball player Ines Teuma ’10. At the age of 18, Teuma left her hometown of Bafoussam to live with her brother, who was working on a Ph.D. in biochemical engineering at the University of Central Florida. Being with him helped ease the transition to life in the United States, said Teuma, who four years later is faring well in Rollins’ pre-med program and as a starting forward for the Tars. Last year—her first with the Tars—Teuma finished fifth on the team in points per game and fourth in rebounds. “She’s probably as strong a player as I’ve ever had,” said Glenn Wilkes, Jr., head women’s basketball coach “She’s a good athlete and has a commanding presence on the court.” While she loves scoring for the Tars, Teuma has a more important goal: helping aspiring young basketball players in her native country. Teuma had been saving money for two years to return home to Cameroon for a visit when she approached Coach Wilkes last year with the idea of collecting equipment to give to young players back home. With his support and the help of her Rollins teammates, she collected three large boxes of clothes, shoes, and basketballs. Then she came up with a plan for distributing the goods: she would stage a basketball tournament. “It was just a tournament to play basketball,” Teuma said. “When I was growing up, I loved just playing basketball.” She found sponsors to help defray the costs, and the “Lady Tars Tournament” became a reality. Equipment was donated to tournament players as well as to local youth programs. “It’s amazing seeing the pictures that Ines brought back and seeing the Rollins name in Cameroon,” Wilkes said. “It’s great that she’s helping out those with fewer resources.” Once she can save $2500 for another round-trip to Cameroon, Teuma plans to host another Lady Tars Tournament. —Daniel Paulling ’08

Weddell Professor Emeritus of American History and College Historian jlane@rollins.edu

THE HEALTH OF THE WHOLE—The concept of a healthy mind in a healthy body is well known to educators. When Judy Provost came to Rollins in 1976 as director of personal counseling, she envisioned a step beyond: healthy individuals positively affecting the health of the whole community. The Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor took her message directly to the student body, making presentations in residence halls and training resident assistants. She founded two student groups—ADEPT (Alcohol & Drug Education Planning Team) and Students for Safer Sex, in response to AIDS—and trained their members to become peer educators. The first of Provost’s five books, The Freshman Year— Stress or Success: a college guide, was published in 1984. From 1988 to 1994, Provost served both as director of Health & Counseling Services and adjunct professor of graduate studies in counseling. She was promoted to associate professor in 1994 and full professor in 1998. She was elevated to emeritus status upon her retirement in May 2007, after 31 years of service to the College. Provost continues to teach part-time while exploring ways to use her skills and experience to enrich her Volusia County community. The avid tennis player also continues to consult, publish, and serve as a member of various professional associations. Among her many awards are a Rollins Arthur Vining Davis Fellowship for faculty excellence and the Florida Mental Health Counselor of the Year Award.

MAKING ROLLINS HISTORY—Jack C. Lane has gone down in Rollins history. Not only did he teach history at the College for nearly four decades, but as College Historian, he also spent years in the archives researching Rollins’ history. Lane joined the faculty in 1963 and taught courses in U.S. history until his retirement in 1999. The U.S. Army veteran (Korea) has written extensively about American military history, including two books on the controversial general Leonard Wood, and has authored two institutional histories, Rollins: A Pictorial History (1980) and History of Winter Park Hospital (2005). He also collaborated with Maurice J. “Socky” O’Sullivan, Rollins’ Kenneth Curry Professor of Literature, on A Florida Reader, which won the 1992 Charlton Tebeau Award for the best book on Florida history. A tireless follower of higher-education issues, Lane was named a Center for Studies of Higher Education Fellow by the University of California in 1984. Rollins honored him with an Arthur Vining Davis Fellowship (1978), appointment to the Alexander W. Weddell Chair of History of the Americas (1980), designation as College Historian (1985), the Holt School Distinguished Service Award (1995), the William Fremont Blackman Medal (1999), and an honorary doctorate of humane letters (2006). Lane continues to serve as College Historian, teaches several courses at the Hamilton Holt School, and plays vibes with a jazz group that performs occasionally at Rollins functions. A participant in last spring’s Rollins College Colloquy, he remains involved in curricular issues.

“From directing the Counseling Center and working intensely with student services and faculty to help undergraduates be successful, to taking that experience and knowledge to teach and train beginning counselors in the graduate program, I have always found Rollins to be the most stimulating place to be. Gratitude is the dominant emotion when I reflect upon the many opportunities to work creatively and autonomously and with colleagues and students I have deeply prized.” —Judy Provost

“I am enjoying retirement, but every fall I become a bit nostalgic for the excitement of a new academic year, for the joy of seeing the eager faces of entering freshmen, and then over the next four years watching them grow into educated adults. It has been particularly pleasing to see the successes of so many of my former students. I was fortunate to have been an active part of Rollins’ life and history.” —Jack Lane

Rollins’ first resident faculty member and his family call both Ward Hall and the world home. BY ROBYN ALLERS

s Rollins strives to bring a global orientation to the curriculum, many faculty incorporate international elements into their courses: study-abroad practica, service-learning components, or complements to the main focus of the course. For Associate Professor of Political Science Michael Gunter, however, the world is the focus. Through his courses in international relations, global environmental affairs, sustainable development, and international security, as well as his research and scholarship, Gunter has been a major player in the College’s efforts to intentionally connect disciplinary studies to real-world situations—with an emphasis on world. His research has taken him to five continents and 19 countries, among them Singapore, Vietnam, Peru, Ecuador, and Germany. “He may be the most internationally traveled faculty member on campus,” said fellow political science professor Tom Lairson, who heads Rollins’ International Studies Center, charged with

coordinating faculty-development travel. Whether observing the work of scientists in the Peruvian Amazon, investigating environmental devastation in Central Europe, or researching sustainability in the Galapagos Islands, Gunter sees a growing global interdependence that links our own economic and physical survival, individually and collectively, to other states, societies, and institutions. As he tells his students, “From climate change and biodiversity loss to overall poverty and pollution, events on one side of the globe clearly influence those thousands of miles away.” Gunter’s students grapple with this century’s thorniest problems, from the War on Terrorism to global warming. Solutions are elusive. Students could easily become disillusioned and frustrated about the future—their own future. “It’s a complicated landscape,” admitted Gunter. “On the other hand, today we have the power to determine the fate of our planet like never before. If students are more informed about the

theoretical contexts, if they understand the ways that power influences the debate on issues, and if they can see how we in this country fit into what goes on across the globe, then they can begin to develop the skills to formulate solutions. Hope begins with knowledge.” And knowledge, as Gunter discovered, expands with experience. In 2002, Gunter, then a visiting assistant professor, and Professor of Anthropology Pedro Pequeño led a dozen Rollins students on a field study in the Dominican Republic. The trip capped off 16 weeks of coursework on sustainable development in the specific context of the DR. In interviews with government officials, environmental leaders, and ordinary citizens, students were challenged to explore sustainable solutions. Shortly after arriving in the DR, Gunter noted “how curious the students were—much more than in class.” One afternoon, he recalled, “the students were waiting in a dark, dingy lobby for a run-down bus that would take them on a four-hour, pot-holed journey to the other side of the island.” Instead of napping or text messaging, “they were writing furiously in their journals and talking about the morning’s meeting with the deputy anti-poverty director! I saw the light bulbs flash on in their minds, and I realized that connecting academics to experience creates knowledge that will be retained long after four years of college.” In that moment, John Dewey’s concept of a “pragmatic liberal education” became concrete for Gunter, and it has been central to his pedagogy ever since. “I became a convert,” he said. Travel, political science, and academics run in the Gunter family. As a boy, Michael, Jr. and his family lived for a year in Turkey while Michael, Sr., a political science professor specializing in the Middle East at Tennessee Tech University, taught on a Fulbright appointment. Nearly 30 years later, Gunter continued the tradition when his own children, Ansleigh and Malachi, then 4 and 1, respectively, accompanied their parents to the Slovak Republic, where Gunter taught on a Fulbright university lectureship. Like his father, Gunter majored in political science. He then detoured from academics for several years after graduating with honors from Vanderbilt University. He worked in Washington, D.C., first as a

legislative correspondent in the U.S. House of Representatives and later as an editor for a public-policy newswire service. Gunter believes those experiences gave him not only a practical grounding in the political process, but also something of a competitive edge when it came to graduate school—another lesson in pragmatic education he passes on to his students. In 2000, still in the process of completing his dissertation at the University of Kentucky, Gunter accepted a visiting assistant professor position to teach in Rollins’ newly created sustainable development program. Even though it was only a three-year appointment, Gunter and his wife, Linda, settled into a home only two blocks from campus and

doesn’t take him out of the country, but it does take him into uncharted territory. As the first resident faculty member of the College’s Living and Learning Communities (LLC) program, Gunter and his family recently moved into an apartment in the newly renovated Ward Hall, a residence for first-year students enrolled in several interrelated Rollins College Conference courses (RCCs). Choosing to live among 190 students might seem like sheer lunacy to some, but Gunter saw it as yet another opportunity to “better connect what Rollins does in the classroom to what happens outside it.” One of his roles—and what attracted him to the position—is to help develop a program of

“If students are more informed, if they understand the ways that power influences the debate on issues, and if they can see how we in this countryfit into what goes on across the globe, then they can begin to develop the skills to formulate solutions.

immersed themselves in campus life. He quickly distinguished himself as an active and popular participant, regularly attending athletic events, chairing faculty/student study groups, serving on committees, and advising students. By the end of his first year, he had achieved the consummate sign of student acceptance: he was tapped to judge the Student Government Association’s annual Lip Sync Contest. Gunter had also earned the respect of colleagues with his contributions to the department and his impressive record of scholarship. In 2003, when the visiting position was converted to tenure track, Gunter tossed his cap into the pool of national applicants and rose to the top. In 2004, Dartmouth College and University Press of New England published Gunter’s book Building the Next Ark: How NGOs Work to Protect Biodiversity. The two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and biologist E. O. Wilson, who spoke at the recent Rollins College Colloquy, called it “an important and much-needed book on a vital subject.” Named a Cornell Distinguished Faculty member in 2006, Gunter’s latest venture

activities for student residents. “Many students really want more intellectual life outside of the classroom,” he said. A spacious lounge on the fourth floor overlooking Lake Virginia provides “an intimate and informal setting for students to engage with faculty and to meet with some of the high-profile speakers that come through campus, in the vein of James Lipton’s Inside the Actor’s Studio.” Gunter has drawn up an ambitious program that includes film screenings, panel discussions, and performances. Recent participation appears to bear him out: a discussion on 9/11 drew a group of 50, and about 100 students and faculty turned out for a panel on language and assimilation. If the sandbox in the courtyard outside the Gunter apartment is any indication, the family is at home here. So far, the experience has been positive. “They’ve been very respectful and relatively quiet,” Gunter said of his hall mates. “It’s a great opportunity for us as a family to learn as well as model what learning is all about.” Another advantage: the pool of potential babysitters for Ansleigh and Malachi just got a whole lot bigger. ■ FALL 2007

When Rollins’ admission committee reviewed Kimberly Hambright’s application for a Deans’ Scholarship to Rollins, they were impressed with her high grades, snappy essay, and numerous extracurricular activities. But it was her portfolio—a self-portrait created in handwritten words describing herself—that sealed the deal. Today, when so many high-school students apply to Rollins and only half of them are accepted, the criteria have necessarily changed. Good grades still matter, letters of recommendation help, but it’s the portfolio that could swing admission to “yes.” A student’s portfolio might focus on a slick video biography or decoding an orchid’s DNA sequence (lab report required) or conversational mastery of Farsi, French, and English. “We’re intentionally vague about what constitutes a student’s portfolio so they have flexibility to present their own personal talents, the thing they’re passionate about,” said Director of Admission Michael Lynch. Having acceptance hinge on a portfolio—as well as a writing sample, although it need not be a traditional student essay—is a new approach, designed to balance applications that don’t include that once all-important SAT score. This is the first year Rollins has made SAT scores optional. “Over the years, we’ve had a sense that for a certain subset of students, test scores didn’t accurately reflect the positive contributions they could make to our community,” Lynch said. “But their low scores meant they were much less likely to be admitted.” Letting students decide whether to share their SAT scores is not as controversial as it may sound, said Roger Casey, vice president for academic affairs and provost. It levels the playing field, since studies prove students who spend money on tutors and retaking standardized tests receive higher scores, placing less-affluent students at a disadvantage. Making SATs optional is not a free pass to college, however. Those seeking merit scholarships or athletic grants-in-aid must still submit SATs or ACTs, and opt-out students must still provide a clear picture of their academic ability. “SATs are an incredibly overrated tool in admission nationally,” Casey said. “I think we’re

COMPETITION TO ENROLL SO HIGH— AND SAT SCORES NOW OPTIONAL— HOW DOES

ROLLINS PICK THE RIGHT MIX OF STUDENTS?

BIGDECISIONS taking a real leadership role by saying that SATs are not the only way of measuring success. Students’ high-school grades are a much better indication of their abilities and a portfolio of their work gives us a more detailed picture of their interests and their potential.” Although Rollins is at the forefront of colleges making SATs voluntary, it is not the first to do so. Of the 100 top liberal-arts colleges ranked by U.S. News & World Report, 24 are now SAT-optional. Many of those colleges logged recordbreaking numbers of applications when they dropped the testing requirement— some as much as 40 percent higher. Approximately 20 percent of applicants at FALL 2007 11

these schools chose not to submit their SAT results. Statistically, making test scores non-compulsory not only benefits applicants whose low scores might have made them risky candidates, but it also benefits the College. “The irony is that if we get rid of the low scores, our college’s average scores go up,” Casey said. “That prompts higherperforming students to look at us more seriously because our SAT averages are higher, so we receive more top-tier applicants.” About 3,000 students applied for only 500 spots in Rollins’ Class of 2011, so application packages have to present something special, particularly if spectacular SAT scores are not included. Teacher recommendations and graded samples are required in the package, along with transcripts confirming solid work. Extracurricular activities, demonstrating proof of leadership and work ethic, increase a student’s odds. “These things matter to us because we have more than 80 student organizations on campus and we need to be confident that a student coming to Rollins has an interest in being involved,” Lynch said. “But ultimately, we have to feel confident in their academic skills—that trumps being on the football team or serving on student council. They have to be academically prepared.” To help their chances, many students commit to the College as early as possible. Because the typical high-school senior applies to five or six colleges, plus one or two “reach” schools, instead of just two or three colleges as in decades past, selecting Early Decision indicates a student’s earnestness and can tip the scales in his or her favor, Lynch said. Early Decision is a binding contract between the College and the student, stating that the student will withdraw all other applications and will attend Rollins in the fall. These students apply in November instead of February, when standard applicants send in their packages. Another option that Rollins has instituted for the first time this year is called Early Action. It is not binding like Early Decision, but allows students to receive the College’s “yes” or “no” before the standard April 1 reply date. Early Action applications are due December 1, with responses sent as much as two months before standard applicants’. 12 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

QUALITY, not quantity, is the OBJECTIVE. Rollins wants to fill spots with top-tier, exceptional students. Too few spots for the number of applicants is a nice problem to have, but massive numbers is not the goal. Quality, not quantity, is the objective. Rollins wants to fill spots with top-tier, exceptional students. So, if applicants have to sell themselves to the College with their portfolio and qualifications, Rollins has to sell itself to prospective students, too—particularly to those students whose grades and scores put them in highest demand. With 14,595 public high schools in the United States and more than 3 million graduating seniors, it’s a challenge to grab their interest. Many tried-and-true methods of attracting students still work: word of mouth and high-school “college fairs.” Rollins’ 15 admission counselors visit more than 450 high schools a year, as well as 120 colleges to connect with potential transfer students. But internet technology is already indispensable: one-third of new students’ first contact with Rollins is online. Lynch said Rollins’ Web presence resulted in 900 “blind applicants” last year—students who wouldn’t have been courted through the College’s more tradi-

tional means. “Instead of physically visiting multiple schools, most of their information gathering is done online,” Lynch said. “We certainly pay attention to that technology. Often, our first contact with these students is receiving their application.” Navigating an elegant, easy-to-use Web page may grab students’ attention, but it doesn’t necessarily close the deal. Financial aid, competitive grants such as the Cornell, Deans’, Alonzo Rollins, Presidential, Centennial, and Donald Cram Science Scholarships (see Applying a Higher Standard, p. 13), and early contact with professors can be the deciding factor. “We can’t stress how important our faculty and alumni are in this process,” Casey said. “They’re great salespeople for the College. They can really make the difference in getting a prospect excited about Rollins.” When all else fails, of course, there is the sure thing: the campus visit. Scheduled, brilliantly, at the peak of winter, a sunny stroll down Rollins’ Walk of Fame makes the final decision as good as a foregone conclusion. ■

BIGDECISIONS APPLYING A HIGHER STANDARD Competing for a full ride, applicants for Cornell Scholarships need to make quite an impression. It’s one thing to apply to your dream college. It’s quite another to apply to your dream college’s highly competitive full-ride scholarship program. At Rollins, incoming first-year students vying for one of up to 10 Cornell Scholarships must dazzle the admission team. Exceptional grades (at least a 3.7 GPA) are just the first benchmark for these 50 or so high school seniors at the

If a student meets these expectations, he or she could be in the running for a Cornell. But, beyond academics, they must demonstrate an intangible something that captures the attention of the admission committee. “They have to have that little something extra, too, which is showing promise as a leader,” said Michael J. Lynch, director of admission. “Being a high performer is not enough. We want them to be change agents, individuals who can make a difference in the

top of Rollins’ admission pool. Topnotch SAT scores (of at least 1480) are required (although Rollins has made SAT scores optional for standard applicants, those seeking merit scholarships must still submit them). A transcript laden with advanced, honors, and college-level coursework is a must. A writing sample is part of the admission packet, as is a letter of recommendation.

social structure of this campus.” Each of the students considered for a Cornell has impressive credentials. They are usually students the admission team has been watching for two years or more. It is not only Rollins that is interested in accepting and assisting them financially; these students are much in demand for other colleges, too. “They’re all smart, all qualified,” Lynch said. “But the Cornell

Scholarship is about picking the top student leaders, people who can influence their peers, who can stand as examples. It’s more than just getting exceptional grades.” Cornell Scholars have turned down prestigious institutions, including West Point, to attend Rollins. Narrowing 53 to just 10 is a rigorous process. After applying for both admission and the scholarship in January, prospective Cornell Scholars are invited to campus in February for Cornell Weekend (travel is at least partially reimbursed). It’s not your typical campus tour, however. Each candidate is interviewed by two faculty members. Each participates in a class discussion based on an article sent to them to read ahead of time. And each has to write an essay on an assigned topic. The dealmakers (or breakers) are faculty evaluations and feedback from Rollins students who meet with the candidates. For the 2007-2008 academic year, nine students were named Cornell Scholars. The honor includes tuition, fees, room and board, and a laptop computer— a total value of $43,000 for the first year and renewable for up to three additional years. To keep the scholarship, Cornell Scholars must live on campus and maintain a 3.6 GPA. They have the opportunity to join the Honors Degree Program, conduct collaborative research with faculty, participate in at least one study-abroad experience, and receive mentoring to compete for national scholarships such as Rhodes, Truman, and Goldwater. “The program has given me a great environment in which I am able to reach my fullest potential,” said Steve Miller ’09, one of the original Cornell Scholars. “Having merit opportunities like the Cornell Scholarship is a real benefit to Rollins,” Lynch said. “When we can be more competitive from a financial perspective, we have a much better chance of attracting the highest-performing students.” ■ FALL 2007 13

THE FIRST STEP IN FOREIGN RELATIONS Rollins forms a connection wtih international students.

Cameroon and Winter Park may be worlds apart, but Rollins junior Ines Teuma calls both places “home.” After a few months of adjustment, the pre-med biology major has found herself settled into life as an American college student. “The first time I came here, I said ‘This is the promised land,’” Teuma said. “After about a month, though, I started to miss my family. I am one of 10 children, so I had never been alone so much before. It was difficult. But then I started to make friends and have wonderful times and to feel like I belong here.” Teuma is part of a trend of international students enrolling at small liberal-arts colleges in the United States. According to the Institute of International Education, almost 12,000 of the 27,000 foreign-born undergraduate students in the U.S. attend a liberal-arts college like Rollins—a 16 percent increase since 1999. The vast majority of foreign-born students in the U.S. are in graduate school at large universities— more than 560,000 overall. Compare that to 1964, when there were only 82,000 international students at U.S. colleges. At Rollins, about 5 percent of undergraduate students are foreign born. They are from 50 different countries, from Jamaica to Kenya to Turkey, with 17 languages among them. Traditionally, most international students at the College are from Western Europe (and that is still true of the current first-year class), but Latin America, Asia, and Canada are better represented today than in years past. How each of these students ends up at Rollins is a process as varied as their cultures. For many, their connection to Rollins begins with typing in “American colleges” on an internet search engine. For others, it is word of mouth—a cousin or a teacher’s son is an alumnus. Often, the initial contact is made with Matt Moore ’06, director of international 14 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

admission. Each year, he and the Rollins admission team visit several high schools in Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Additionally, guidance counselors from several “feeder” schools in other countries are invited to campus each February. “We try to focus on countries where English is the primary language so students can enter Rollins without language issues,” Moore said. Teuma, whose first language is French, spent two years studying English before coming to the U.S. International students from countries where English is a secondary language must provide proof of proficiency with the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Beyond that, though, the application process is the same as for American students: writing sample, transcript, letter of recommendation, optional SAT/ACT scores, and a portfolio of their work. One distinction, however, is that need-based financial aid is not available so international students must pay their own way. Managing money concerns and red tape is the heart of the services provided by Jenifer León, director of international student and scholar services. It is her job to ensure that new students from abroad have their paperwork in order (visa, driver’s license, health insurance, bank account) and to provide support throughout their time at Rollins, including assistance after graduation if they wish to stay in America to work. Since 9/11, the government has added extra reporting requirements for schools to track foreign students. “For students, the bureaucracy to get the documents they need can be daunting,” León said. León’s office serves as a resource for students to assist them through the bureaucracy of the Social Security Administration, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and cell-phone companies. New international students arrive on campus five days early to attend an orienta-

tion designed to ease their transition to a new school and a new country. They also attend the Office of Multicultural Affairs’ Camp Alliance program, with a teambuilding ropes course. They connect with a mentor—an experienced international student like Teuma. They also learn about the necessities of life in America. “Orientation usually involves a car full of students who need to buy sheets or electrical adapters or socks at Target,” León said. “And they always want to get a cell phone first thing, which is not as easy for international students. You need a Social Security number to get a cell phone easily, and they usually don’t have that. So they often pay more for fewer services than American students.” León said she is constantly surprised by the determination she sees in Rollins’ international student body. “They are so driven. These are students taking Calculus 2 and Chemistry in a language that’s not their own. They have to work three times as hard. And they work against so many obstacles,” she said. “It’s not only the financial burden on their families, but it’s also the pressure of sometimes not being able to return to their home countries. For many, that is simply not an option.” León said one recent student had not been able to return home for her entire four years at Rollins. Cost is one issue, but often the political landscape makes a return trip risky, since they often have to renew their visas to return to the U.S. and an approval of the visa is never a sure thing. Teuma, who plays forward for Rollins on a basketball scholarship, knows well the

Cameroon. She could see how proud her family was of her accomplishments in America. “At home in Africa, I have less opportunity,” she said. “My mom is just so happy that I can come to Rollins to reach my dreams. It seems still like the promised land to me.” ■

In addition to its highly competitive Cornell Scholars program, Rollins College is now awarding another prestigious scholarship so that incoming students can follow where their hearts, not their wallets, lead. The new Deans’ Scholarships, in the amount of $10,000, are being offered to first-year students whose high grades, outstanding standardized test scores, and leadership activities set them apart from the average. A portfolio of the candidate’s best work—which could be a detailed physics lab report, a CD of songs composed and performed by the student, or a digital slideshow of the student-artist’s watercolor paintings—must be submitted with the application. For the 2007-2008 school year, 57 students were awarded the scholarship. If the student maintains a 3.2 GPA, the scholarship is renewable for three years. Like prospective Cornell Scholars, Deans’ Scholarship contenders are invited to campus to narrow the field. Finalists stay in residence halls with current students, attend panel discussions, and are interviewed by faculty members. Selected scholars may enroll in the Rollins Honors Degree Program and conduct independent research. ■

When the world beyond

16 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

The universal begins to matter, they say, only when it becomes personal. At Rollins College, where the goals of global citizenship and responsible leadership are expected to be both a campuswide mission and a part of each student’s individual credo, the universal and the personal are tightly linked. Nowhere is that truer than in the College’s philosophy on internationalization. This is not merely cracking books about the world’s cultures, languages, economies, religions, arts, politics, and history. This is about experiencing them—hearing, tasting, speaking, breathing them. The approach today is not the touristy, cultureappreciation, drive-by visits promoted by those 1930s posters that urged people to “See the World.” In this “Be the World” generation, it’s a total immersion in international issues and cultures. Rollins encourages students and professors to discover all that the wider world can teach them through several forward-thinking programs. There are overseas internships,

ROLLINS ON LOCATION Inspiring study-abroad experiences redefine the field trip for the new millennium e’ll always have Paris. And London, and Madrid. For American college students studying abroad, Europe’s capital cities remain the prime attraction. But in today’s multicultural, global-minded world, students who want to study abroad are more likely to go exotic— Latin America, the Middle East, or the Pacific Rim. Rollins is clearly at the forefront of this trend. Five different continents show up in the College’s top six study-abroad destinations. Rollins senior Danika Tanzini, a double major in international business and Spanish, already lived in Spain as a high-school junior, so when she considered study abroad, she was not drawn to the beaten path. “Some people need something a little different,” she said. Tanzini’s overseas experiences have run the gamut: two service-learning trips (both in Central America) and a six-week internship in Cuenca, a small city in Ecuador.

becomes the world within study-abroad opportunities, service-learning trips, and student and faculty exchanges. Rollins learning trips have taken students and faculty to the far reaches of the globe: Morocco, China, Guatemala, the Galapagos Islands, Russia, and Australia, to name just a few. It is through breaking bread with a generous villager in Ecuador or teaching an English phrase to a Korean schoolboy or researching biodiversity in Costa Rica’s rain forest that grand concepts like economic development, international relations, and sustainability are shrunk into manageable, meaningful morsels. Rollins also has expanded its notions of what it means to be a global citizen by welcoming the world to its campus, recruiting students from other countries and hiring a diverse, multicultural faculty. Special events reinforce the global vibe. On any given day on campus, there could be a German festival, tango lessons, an Indian picnic, a foreign-film screening, or a reggae concert organized by the Caribbean Student Association. After all, the most meaningful cultural exchange can be as simple as making a friend.

She handled marketing and promotion for Innpulsar, a company that provides training and support for local entrepreneurs in their first 18 months of business. “The internship was arranged through the Chamber of Commerce there,” she said. “It was the most amazing experience. I was there with one other American intern and two interns from Ecuador, and I had so much more responsibility than the local interns, just because I was an American. It was great business-development experience.” According to the Institute of International

Education (IIE), non-traditional destinations have skyrocketed in popularity in the last decade. Almost half of the leading 20 destinations are places outside Western Europe. Sixty-four percent of American students abroad choose sites where English is not the primary language. American enrollment in Turkey, for instance, is up 77 percent, Korea 17 percent, and Russia 20 percent. The practice at Rollins is not to pin a course onto a “hot” destination, though, but to link academic content to international locale. “It’s not our goal to have every department offer a study-abroad program or to create programs in every region in the world, but to offer courses that have a strong connection to the maximum number of disciplines,” said Lisa Donatelli, director of international programs. “So it’s possible, for example, for students majoring in art history, anthropology, sociology, English, and modern languages to get credits toward their majors through study abroad in Rome.” All Rollins international experiences provide course credit, from two-week field studies to yearlong enrollment, but the emphasis remains on a more profound benefit. “We live in a globalized society now,” said Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Roger Casey. “If we don’t have students who have an intercultural literacy, so that they could be dropped anywhere in the world and know how to operate, they won’t have the keys to function in society, in business. You cannot educate young people today without cultural literacy. They would be crippled out in the world.”

+ + +VIEW +++++++++ TAKING THE LONG At the core of study abroad is the traditional semester program. Rollins offers four excellent examples in Spain, Germany, and Australia. Each of these experiences focuses on maximizing immersion in the host country’s culture, language, landscape, and academic life. A semester-long experience also fine-tunes fluency (both the Spain and Germany programs require at least a month of intensive language study; the remainder of the courses are taught in the host country’s language). A yearlong stay is also an option. Beyond these Rollins programs, affiliate programs are offered in England, Greece, Italy, France, Turkey, Hong Kong, and Morocco. These longer programs provide more cultural and travel opportunities. For example, Rollins students at the University of Trier in Germany are encouraged to take excursions into nearby Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. Those studying at the University of Sydney are invited to experience the famous Opera House and a weekend trip to Canberra. Living arrangements vary in the semester-long programs. Rollins students attending the University of Oviedo in Spain live with local host families. The same is true in Australia. In Germany, Rollins students have a choice of sharing an apartment with other international students or living in a residence hall, as students do in their London experience. “Being an international business major, I found that my experiences in Europe not only helped me as a student, but inspired me to do my current job,” said Matt Moore ’06, Rollins’

director of international admission, who studied for a semester in Spain. “I was able to refine and practice my skills in Spanish as well as experience more of the world.”

KEEPING IT SHORT

A newer approach to study abroad is the condensed version: two- to eight-week field studies. According to the IIE, 92 percent of Americans who study abroad do so for one semester or less, with 50 percent of students electing summer, January term, or other programs of eight weeks or less. The benefits of this approach are twofold. First, it allows students who might not be able to afford the cost or time away for a full semester to participate in a study abroad. Second, because the field-study trips are shorter and less costly, they open the possibility of multiple experiences. “We want students to specialize and also to broaden their areas of expertise,” said Barry Allen, associate professor of environmental studies, who has led dozens of field studies in Latin America and Asia. “We want them to have a certain amount of room for exploration. International experiences provide this kind of exposure.” Most Rollins field studies are tied to a course for credit, with a certain amount of prerequisite study completed before the journey. Only students who major in international business or

+++++ WORKING THROUGH IT + + + + + + + An international internship is the third incarnation of study abroad. Rollins’ London Internship Program has been in place for years, providing world-class work experience for dozens of Rollins juniors and seniors, like Erin Thayer ’08, an English major who interned for Estee Lauder last spring. “I got so much out of the experience,” she said. “Everything from what it takes to run a business to just the basic skills of working for someone who’s above you and how to write a press release. It really opened up a whole new world for me.” While London is the centerpiece of Rollins’ international internship program, there is a world of other choices too. “I’m an international business major, so I had to do time abroad and I also had to do an internship,” said Tanzini, who performed her Ecuador internship the summer before her junior year. “Even if I didn’t get college credit for it, though, I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. I learned so much.”

MAKING IT A FOREIGN POLICY

KATHERINE ZELLMER ’07

Study abroad might once have been viewed as the privileged set “doing” Europe in high style. Today, it’s considered good politics.

study for six months in France. Students interested in government attended the École Libre des Sciences Politique, while those interested in history or literature studied at the Sorbonne. Courses in fine arts and the sciences were also available. The Foreign Study Plan required that students have “Upper Division standing and possess a fundamental knowledge of the French language.” An amazing feature of this unique program was that there was no additional cost to the student—the College covered all transportation, instruction, and living expenses. The Foreign Study Plan reflected Rollins’ early interest in educating “global citizens.” “It is hoped that if this first experiment is found to be successful, it may soon be extended to countries other than France, thus favoring the growth of a truly international spirit in the student body of Rollins College,” Holt said. The Foreign Study Plan came to an abrupt end during World War II, and it wasn’t until the early 1960s that a full-fledged study-abroad program took hold at the College. The Rollins Overseas Program was led by foreign-languages professor Frank Sedwick, who came to Rollins from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1963 to serve as head of the foreign languages department and director of overseas programs. At Ohio Wesleyan, Sedwick had founded the Summer Program in Spain and a Semester-inColombia Program. Believing that one of the important aspects of

On Central Florida’s public-radio station, for example, it’s not uncommon to hear the announcer end a report with the tagline, “Support for this station comes from Rollins College, where students prepare for life and work as global citizens.” Throughout Asia, countless international schools claim to educate “global citizens,” using catchy slogans such as “St. Pete’s International School - Where East Meets West.” What many people may not realize, however, is that Rollins College has promoted cultural exposure and diversity since its very beginnings. The College accepted its first overseas students—two students from Cuba—in its 11th year, 1896. Within two years, the number of Cuban students at Rollins had increased to 22, garnering national attention for the fledgling liberal-arts college in Florida, including an article in the January 28, 1899 edition of the Boston Transcript. Special English classes were created for the non-English-speaking Cuban students, who generally studied “Basic English” their first year at the College and entered regular classes in their second year. Under the leadership of the College’s forward-thinking president Hamilton Holt (1925-1949), Rollins’ student body became more international in scope and a foreign-study program was established. By 1931, Rollins had 16 foreign-exchange students from a wide variety of countries, including China, Turkey, Russia, Iraq, Photo appearing with a local newspaper article, 1897 Germany, Japan, and Brazil. This internationalization was considered quite progressive for a small liberal-arts college at the time, once again earning the College media attention.

homes, offering them further insight into Colombian culture. Sedwick further expanded international-study opportunities by instituting Fall Term programs in Australia and Ireland in 1973, making Rollins the only American college with a full-semester program in Australia at that time. Students in the Ireland program were housed exclusively in private homes and took courses focused almost entirely on Irish history and culture. Speaking to the importance of developing overseas programs at Rollins, Sedwick said: “Colleges have learned, and it is our students who have taught us, that there is no substitute for direct experience in a foreign culture, whatever the field. To put it simply, the student of today is eager to know how the people of his and other cultures go about solving the same kinds of problems.” Little did he know how prophetic his comment was—that decades later, this philosophy would become central to Rollins’ mission. Today, Rollins has an increasing number of foreign students and offers a sizeable array of international-study and service-learning opportunities. Even more significant is that the concept of “global education” has become infused into the College’s curriculum and culture. Rollins can rightly claim that it is, indeed, “educating students for global citizenship,” as its mission statement proclaims. It would not be inaccurate to append a slight addendum: “…since its founding.” ■

hat is it about London that American students find so irresistible? It could be the old colonial connection the centuries cannot seem to sever. The familiarity of the landmarks— Tower Bridge, Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral—tugs at many American hearts. The ease of communication (no language courses required) is a bonus. Or it may be the cosmopolitan hum of the city, or the vibrant fine-arts scene, or the verdant countryside, or the sophisticated theater district that gets them. For these reasons and many more, American students answer the call. They choose the United Kingdom in almost double the numbers of the next two top study-abroad destinations (Italy and Spain). More than 31,000 American students study in the U.K. each year. That number includes about 15 students from Rollins each semester. Over the years, the College’s successful London Internship Program has placed dozens of students with world-class companies and simultaneously enrolled them in semester-long courses at sister colleges in the city. “The strength of the program is the controlledlearning aspect of it,” said Roger Casey, vice president for academic affairs and provost. “Rollins has taken a different approach from the majority of colleges by providing a structured working environment where students gain business experience and learn what it’s like to live and work in another country. It’s an excellent program.” Adrienne Gardner, a senior English major from New Orleans, chose the London Internship Program because she wanted to gain business experience with an international twist. She interned with Bell Pottinger, a public relations firm that handles “reputation management.” Clients included the country of Argentina, Ralph Lauren, and the family of the former KGB spy who was poisoned in London, Alexander Litvinenko. She learned about media monitoring, building a Web site from the ground up, organizing a press conference, and a little bit about being the low man on the totem pole. “I learned so much from my supervisor and all the people I worked with,” she said. “It has opened so many doors for me. I feel like I have so many possibilities now, more choices than I had before. I don’t think I’m willing to just accept whatever job comes my way. I feel like I can be more selective now that I’ve had this experience.”

Gardner completed the program last spring. On the days she wasn’t working at the PR firm, she took two courses—a theater course and a Shakespeare course—at Birkbeck College, for 15 credit hours. The internship, which required a daily journal and the submission of a final paper about the experience, earned her an additional eight credit hours. Gardner roomed with six other American girls two blocks from the British Museum. She had a 40-minute walk to and from work, which took her through Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. “Rollins students are amazing to work with,” said Lisa Donatelli, director of international programs, which oversees the London Internship Program. “They are so open to experiences, so enthusiastic about finding the right place.” Erin Thayer, another senior English major, had never performed an internship and had never traveled out of the country before signing up for London. “It seemed like the perfect place to welcome myself into an international experience,” she said. “I had friends who had already participated in the program and they all agreed it was the best thing about going to college.

It’s so easy and so cheap to just hop on a plane and go.” Adjusting to life in a foreign city at the same time as life as a working girl is not always easy, though.

I feel so much more confident in everything I do. I know I can travel anywhere, work anywhere in the world, and I’ll be fine.” ■ 22 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

WHEN THE JOURNEY IS THE DESTINATION

Overseas service learning has two objectives: Change within and change without

t was the hairpin turn on a steep, foggy mountainside in a rickety taxi that awakened Kymm Dutch ’08 to the drama of her service-learning trip to Mexico. But it was the gratitude of the Mexican children she taught to use a computer for the first time that awakened her to its purpose. “I decided to go on that particular trip because I thought it would be a good fusion of all of my skills and interests—fundraising, Spanish, community service, technology, and international business,” Dutch said. “But what was so moving about this experience was not that I polished my skills, but that I was able to give these children skills that will spark a new interest, maybe a new way of life for them.” Dutch, a senior majoring in international business, was one of eight Rollins students who participated in a 2004 Rollins College Conference (RCC) course called The World Wide Web in Mexico. They traveled to Central Mexico to teach middle-school-aged children computer skills and English. One of the schools could be reached only by a rocky dirt road—that’s where the dramatic hairpin turns came in. There were three classrooms with only one electrical outlet each, making it difficult to hook up multiple computers. Some of the classrooms didn’t even have chalk for the chalkboard. Prior to traveling to Mexico, the RCC students held fundraisers like car washes to collect the money needed to buy the used laptops they took with them. Not until the last day did the schoolchildren discover that the computers weren’t just temporary learning tools—they were theirs to keep. “They had no idea,” said Gabriel Barreneche, assistant professor of modern languages and literatures, one of the faculty leaders of the trip. “When we made the announcement that the computers were going to be left with them, it turned into a huge celebration. The kids were crying. The Rollins students were crying. It was one of those moments that will stay with me forever. To be a part of that, and to see Rollins students experience such intense gratitude, was wonderful for me.” In a general sense, service learning is experiential learning, personally exploring classroom issues in the real world. Students serve in a variety of ways: mentoring underprivileged children, serving meals to the homeless, repairing a roof on a community center, visiting with shut-ins. In international service learning, it is the same approach, but the commitment of time and resources are usually more limited. And the destination is much more remote: the

Galapagos Islands, the Dominican Republic, rural Mexico. “The main point is the same, though,” said Micki Meyer, director of community engagement. “It’s service while you’re in that community, even if it’s only for a week. It’s not simply going and learning about a culture, it’s about becoming interconnected with that culture, learning what they think about their community and helping to make it stronger. It forces students to dig deeper than just staying in a youth hostel and sightseeing.” According to Campus Compact, 91 percent of American colleges offer service learning for course credit, with about 30 percent of students participating. While the number of students who opt for service learning in another country is relatively small, they tend to be repeat customers. “I usually have at least one student who has gone with me before,” said Pedro Bernal, professor of chemistry, who travels with Rollins students to the Dominican Republic each year to serve in rural communities (see page 24). “In fact, between 1997 and 2001, there were students who went with me four or five times. It’s a significant experience for them and they want to return time after time.” Dutch became involved in international service in high school, with a trip to Guatemala to build houses. Barreneche learned early the lessons of overseas service experiences. He had been a Boston College junior abroad, studying in Ecuador, when he served free meals to Quito’s poorest residents. As a senior, he went on a service-learning trip to Kingston, Jamaica. After graduation, he served migrant farm workers in California through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. “I learned more in those times of volunteer work than in four years of college,” Barreneche said. “I knew that if I could have

the chance to share these experiences with students, I would love to do it. It just opens their eyes to the issues that are out there in the world. It gives them compassion and the chance to create change.” Barreneche said serving overseas not only opens students’ eyes to the external issues facing the less fortunate, but it touches on some heady internal issues, too. “For many of these Rollins students, traveling in Mexico was their first time being a minority. It’s very humbling for them and it helps them understand what a great number of people go through by being different in America. When people called them ‘Gringo,’ they got upset, but it was an important lesson for them in treating others with dignity.” International service-learning trips are usually scheduled over winter break, spring break, or summer vacation. Most are one or two weeks long, with students earning two course credits. The distinction between service learning and volunteering is the learning. Bernal’s and Barreneche’s students have to write reaction papers, expressing their response to the service experience—everything from “It was transforming” to “How can they be so happy when they’re so horribly poor?” “In true service learning, the act is important, but the processing is what brings it full circle,” Meyer said. “It’s understanding the issues behind the need. It’s deep thinking, having epiphanies, grasping the complexities of a community.” Doing so necessarily puts students in new territory, both emotionally and physically. Accommodations are hardly luxurious, occasionally with no running water or electricity. The inn where students stayed in Mexico, for instance, had no central heat and it was 30 degrees at night.

purity is often an issue, drinking and eating can be a challenge (particularly for two vegetarians on the trip, who couldn’t eat vegetables washed in the local water). But these are small discomforts compared to the enormity of the reward. Danika Tanzini, a senior double majoring in international business and Spanish who participated in the Mexican trip with Dutch, said she was amazed by what she learned: “Patience, because it’s very frustrating not being perfectly fluent in the language,” she said. “And compassion. This was such a contrasting experience. I realize now how privileged we are. I see those with less a little differently now. They have such an amazing culture and such generosity. And I understand more clearly why so many of them want to come to America. I have a different perspective on that issue now.” Despite its benefits, overseas service frightens some parents. Tanzini said she has friends whose parents forbid them to go on such excursions, but she found that Rollins took every precaution, from choosing safe routes to avoiding certain cities. “No one walks around by themselves,” she said. “Every area and every contact has been thoroughly researched. It is so much better, so much safer, than going to Cabo on spring break. You’re learning so much and you can’t do this at any other time in your life. I wish more parents would let go a little and let their kids experience these trips.” Parental concerns are usually threefold, said Lisa Donatelli, director of international programs. “The health and safety concerns are first, and that usually depends on where they’re going. Academics is the next issue. They want to make sure the student is going to stay on track to graduate and get the credit they need. And money is the third big issue. What’s it going to cost?” While the cost of service-learning courses varies based on destination and length of stay, most average a little less than $2,000, with partial need-based scholarships available. Rollins is working on a plan that will provide an international experience as part of tuition, with no additional travel costs. “My goal is to create an economically sustainable model so that every single student can have an international experience,” said Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Roger Casey. “The philosophy is that we live in a globalized society now. We want Rollins students to have intercultural literacy and we want that for all students, not just those who can afford it.”■

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC For 10 years, Professor Pedro Bernal and his students have helped rural villagers build a better future

++++++++++ f Pedro Bernal’s numbers came up in the lottery and his income were suddenly vast and disposable, he says he would be certain of one major change in his life: He would devote more time and money to the people of the Dominican Republic. He has already shared a significant amount of both. Every year since 1996, the Rollins professor of chemistry has traveled to the country with a dozen or so students to build community centers, refurbish schools, and improve water quality in remote villages. It is all-day labor with hammer and nails, paintbrush, or water-purification equipment. The accommodations are often just a step up from camping, since many villages have no electricity or running water. But the rewards for him, his students, and the villagers they help are immeasurable. “I love doing this,” he said. “I cannot tell you that it’s been a sacrifice for me at all. It’s something I want to continue to do, as long as I am able.” Service Projects in Rural Communities: Field Study in the Dominican Republic provides Rollins students with real-world service learning. They live and work alongside residents of small villages while helping them improve their living conditions. It could be almost anything: digging latrines, painting a community center, framing a new building, hiking to a mountaintop school to deliver supplies. No matter what the project, though, the learning takes place through the act of service. “In my view, the reason we put students in these unusual circumstances is that it opens up all sorts of possibilities for academic work,” Bernal said. “We are able to talk about culture, poverty, politics, or science in the field in a way that is very hard to do in the classroom. In that sense, there is no separation between academics and service.” Bernal’s passion for the Dominican Republic is not academic, however. He was born and raised there. He loves the people and the landscape, and loves sharing them with Rollins students and the faculty and staff members who have accompanied him on service trips. Touring cities and historic sites is usually on the itinerary, so students have a context in which to place their service experiences.

Much of the interior of the country still relies on subsistence farming, however. For many

Rollins students, this service trip is their first experience with poverty. “They find that there is a reality completely different from theirs,” Bernal said. “I don’t pretend that it’s life changing for everyone. There are those who wouldn’t go back for a million bucks. But there are some who, down the road, find that it was a more significant experience for them than they knew at the time. There are some people whose lives are completely changed because of these trips.” A chemistry major unsure of her future went on the service trip with Bernal in 1997 and returned to the DR several times after. The impact was so profound she decided to go into international public health. “Confronting them with a reality so different from their own is the key,” he said. “These trips open up the possibility of influencing what kind of person that student will become.” ■

Barry Allen has been one of the true pioneers for us.” A warning is issued before any student attempts to enroll in one of Allen’s field studies: “The program will not appeal to those looking only for an opportunity to travel abroad, who do not enjoy living at times under austere conditions, or who have difficulty handling the unexpected.” Allen’s courses are physically demanding and academically challenging, designed for the junior level, with several prerequisites. For some field studies, students must be accepted into the program in sustainable development and the environment— which is a minor—before signing up. Allen says the academic preparation is simple, though, compared to the logistics of arranging such a complex field study in Latin America. “The front-end work is incredible,” he said. “When you do it right, the students never realize the amount of work that goes into it.” That not only means finalizing travel details with Costa Rican drivers, lodge operators, and guides and making sure that the students have everything in order (extra glasses, medicine, copious supplies of socks), it also means getting himself into shape for the rigors of the field. “Before starting the program, I spend a lot of time on the StairMaster, with a loaded backpack,” he said. “I’m in better shape than the students when we get there. But by the end of the six weeks, after relentless activity, they’re in great shape and I’m just worn out. I’m on the way down and they’re on the way up!” ■

writerly quote from novelist John le Carré sums up Rollins College’s philosophy about the risks of secluding oneself in the ivory tower: “A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.” Erudition is obviously important for a professor at a liberalarts college like Rollins, but so is simply getting out there. And few universities in the country can claim a more generous policy than Rollins for encouraging faculty members to go global. “I know of no other college that has committed the funds so that every single one of their faculty has the means to study abroad, to step beyond their traditional scope of study to learn more,” said Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Roger Casey. “And they can do so either through a group study experience or on their own. It’s extraordinary that Rollins is able to include every single person on the faculty.” Casey recently used such a grant himself to spend 18 days in China. Other Rollins professors have gone on group trips to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador and to Morocco. Although the trips are focused on faculty, the ultimate purpose is to benefit Rollins students. “The by-product that comes from such trips is that professors come back inspired to take students abroad,” Casey said. “In the end, it’s all about enriching the academic experience.”

It is through a grant program established as part of a $12million gift from Thomas J. Petters, chairman and CEO of Petters Group Worldwide and a Rollins trustee and parent, that almost 100 faculty members have had the opportunity to travel abroad since 2005. The Petters Internationalization Initiative’s goal is to enable all faculty and teaching staff to experience life in another country at least once every three years. “I think such trips give faculty a new perspective on an increasingly connected world, particularly since they focus on areas where many have never had the chance to travel,” said Rachel Newcomb, assistant professor of anthropology, who led the trip to Morocco. “They’ll bring back this knowledge to their students and it will definitely enhance their teaching.” The first international faculty trip sponsored by the initiative, with 22 participants, was the China trip in 2006, led by Robert Moore, professor of anthropology. He also joined that group of 15 faculty members in Morocco in January 2007. He wrote a blog entry about the experience, detailing an evening spent in the Sahara with a Berber family (more correctly called the Amazighi). “Of course, the simple experience of spending time in woolen tents, going for a little desert ride on camelback, and enjoying the foods that the local people have long subsisted on (including the surprisingly delicious ‘sand bread’) was a great lesson in itself,” he wrote. “It was apparent that educational tourism is becoming an important part of the life-way of the Amazighi.” Assistant Professor of Political Science Shannon Mariotti used the Initiative’s funds for an educational journey to the Czech Republic last May. She studied how the former communist country has handled its transition to capitalism, which is related to her research on 20th-century political theory. She found that privatization was a mixed bag, progress tinged with a loss of cultural identity. The preponderance of McDonald’s and KFCs in Prague made it clear that there is a price to be paid for a free market—an idea she can more fully express to her students now that she’s seen it firsthand. “The time I spent in the Czech Republic will help give an added dimension of color and vitality to my classroom discussions 28 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

of communism and capitalism,” she said. “I will hopefully be able to translate the feeling of living everyday life under both of these regimes.” Since education is their passion, it’s no surprise that professors prepare considerably for such trips, including brushing up on their language skills. Prior to the group trip to the Galapagos in 2005, Assistant Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures Gabriel Barreneche joined Professor of Philosophy Thomas Cook in coordinating a presentation to round out professors’ knowledge of the region. Barreneche gave a seminar on modern life in Ecuador and survival Spanish classes for the faculty. “We were all from very different disciplines, with different levels of experience, from tenured professors to junior faculty,” Barreneche said. “The bonding that took place before we even left campus was really rewarding and it was great preparation for the journey because we were sequestered on a small boat in very close quarters. The things we saw and the biodiversity of the wildlife was overwhelming, and to be able to experience it with experts in ecology and evolutionary theory was amazing. It almost seems, though, that the Galapagos sites were secondary to the team-building with my colleagues. It was such an exceptional experience.” Gaining on-site expertise is critical for professors who plan to take Rollins students abroad. Associate Professor of Environmental Studies Barry Allen, who has gone on multiple educational journeys with both professors and students, said things can go bad quickly when a trip’s leader is inexperienced. “Rollins is just not going to send a group of students with a novice,” he said. “The professor has to have international experience as much as academic experience or it won’t go well. When you get in the field, it’s not Paris or London. You have to be very forward thinking, very aware, ready to anticipate whatever comes your way. It takes a tremendous amount of work to take students overseas, and the best preparation is to have a lot of personal experience.” The destination of the next group faculty trip being planned is Tanzania on the east coast of Africa in spring 2008. ■

Rust ’64 and Kristen Bracewell ’62 Deming Rollins’ first international family ■ Rust and Kristen Deming, who met and married while attending Rollins College, belong to what could rightfully be called Rollins’ “first international family.” Certainly, no other family associated with the College has had careers as distinguished in international activities. Rust is a former ambassador to Tunisia and deputy chief of mission (under Ambassador Walter Mondale) at the U.S. Embassy in Japan; Kristen is an authority on Japanese poetry and former columnist for The Japan Times newspaper. While this alone is impressive, even more remarkable is that they are the second generation of Demings to attend Rollins, marry there, and enjoy lifelong careers in the Foreign Service. Rust’s father, Olcott Hawthorne Deming ’35 ’94H, a former Rollins trustee (1945-1972) who passed away earlier this year, was the first U.S. ambassador to newly independent Uganda in the 1960s. Rust’s mother, Louise MacPherson Deming ’37, who died in 1976, was one of the founders and served as the first president of the Association of American Foreign Service Women. His brother, John ’66, served in the U.S. Marine Corps, and his sister, Rosamond ’69, works for the United Nations in Spain. The family’s international roots go even deeper, however. Rust is the great-great-grandson of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Although widely known as one of America’s first great novelists (The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables), Hawthorne also served as U.S. Consul in Liverpool after his college friend, Franklin Pierce, was elected President. According to Rust, his father was inspired to pursue international affairs by Rollins’ eighth president, Hamilton Holt ’49H. “In the years after World War I, Rollins was receiving national attention for its progressive education,” he said. “My father learned about the College through family friends of Hamilton Holt, who was involved in forming the League of Nations. My father first went abroad as a Rollins student with the Experiment in International Living, and I think that set his course. I grew up in the Foreign Service, but Rollins—especially Dr. Paul Douglass, who was head of the political science department— was instrumental in shaping my outlook on the world.” Rollins recognized the Deming family’s commitment to that outlook in 1995 through the establishment of the Deming Award, named in honor of Olcott and Rust Deming, which recognizes academic achievement and a commitment to public service. The award, made possible through a gift by The Bedminster Fund at the request of fund director Andrew Drexel Allen ’93, is given annually to a student selected by the political science department. “My father was very proud of the award being named for the Deming family,” Rust said. Rust’s Foreign Service work in Japan led the Demings to develop a particularly strong relationship with the Japanese and their culture. This

was particularly useful in 1996 when Rust, then acting ambassador to Japan, was instrumental in helping Rollins President Rita Bornstein ’04H ’04HAL negotiate return of a statute that had been taken from Okinawa after World War II by a Rollins alumnus and donated to the College. The successful return led to an agreement between Rollins and the Okinawa Shogaku Gakuen Educational Foundation for exchange of students and faculty. Kristen, a poet and former president of The Haiku Society of America, has co-authored numerous translations of haiku (the famous 17-syllable form used in both classical and modern Japanese poetry) and was a consultant for the English translation of Tomoshibi (Light), a book of tanka poetry by the Emperor and Empress of Japan. As a poet writing haiku in English, she won first prize in the international division of the 1997 Mainichi Daily News 125th Anniversary Haiku Contest. Both Demings are strong proponents of the study of foreign languages. “I speak Japanese and French, and my wife has social Japanese,” Rust said. “To learn Japanese, I had to attend a State Department school for two years, 10 hours a day.” As a Rollins graduate who took French while at the College and then put his language skills into daily use, Rust thinks it’s appropriate that students be required to gain a degree of fluency in a foreign language. “The more language skills people have,” he said, “the more opportunities they’re going to have, and the more they can help our country develop international relations.” After 38 years in the nation’s Foreign Service, Rust retired in 2004. He spent the next year at the National Defense University as a visiting scholar. Since the fall of 2005, he has been a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School for Advanced International Studies, where he teaches graduate courses on Japan, U.S.-Japanese relations, the Japanese political economy, and Japanese domestic politics and foreign policy. He also is a consultant for the State Department. Kristen maintains her contacts with Japanese poets and is “keeping up with the U.S.-Japan poetry network,” she said. “We’re trying to create understanding through poetry.” In addition, she keeps up with her children (including Justine Deming Rodriguez ’85) and growing number of grandchildren, and is planning a book about her family’s experiences abroad. “Rust and I were a good team,” Kristen said of their years in the Foreign Service. “He did the policy side, I did the cultural side, continuing the tradition set by Rust’s parents. Our future will be more of the same.” Rust agreed. “The Deming family will be active in foreign affairs as long as they are able to do so,” he said. “There are so many challenges in the world that we need to be engaged.” (rustdeming@aol.com; kristenbd@aol.com) —Warren Miller ’80MBA FALL 2007 29

ALUMNI OF NOTE

Bill Gallo, Jr. ’84 Healthy outlook on fighting world disease ■ Sometimes, all Bill Gallo had to go on was a nickname. Maybe, if he was lucky, the name of a person’s favorite bar. The people he sought were drug addicts, dealers, and prostitutes who might have been exposed to HIV. As a caseworker with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Gallo had to hit Miami’s streets looking for the sexual partners of HIV-infected people he counseled. If he found them, his hope was to convince them to come in for testing, and, if needed, counseling and treatment. It was quite a career change for Gallo, who only months earlier had been waiting tables to put himself through graduate school. When he saw the classified ad for the CDC, he ditched the graduate school idea and applied. That was 20-some years ago. Gallo is still with the CDC, but he’s no longer scouring the streets of Miami. Most recently, his work took him to Africa to work with the Global AIDS Program, part of President Bush’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. As deputy director of the CDC in Kenya, Gallo spent more than four years managing a budget of $140 million and a staff of 800, all charged with detecting and responding to emerging diseases, including ebola and avian flu, finding new ways to fight malaria and HIV, improving refugee health, and providing HIV care, prevention, and treatment services—an overwhelming task in a country with one of the highest malaria and HIV-infection rates in the world. With the help of his leadership, CDC Kenya staff have managed to increase Africans’ accessibility to testing, counseling, and treatment services, sometimes by resorting to the old methods of hitting the streets to seek out those who might be infected. They have also stationed mobile testing units at military bases and truck stops, among other areas, in order to target known high-risk groups.

Today, care is going to more than 100,000 Kenyans who would not have received it just a few years ago. And, CDC Kenya has helped increase the number of HIV testing facilities from just a handful to more than 1,000 across Kenya. Gallo has made many stops along his career journey, all within the CDC network, including work for the National Immunization Program in Tennessee, South Dakota, and Florida, where he helped to improve childhood immunization coverage and treat infants of women infected with Hepatitis B. After that, he headed to the CDC’s headquarters in Atlanta to work on immunization policy, make decisions about financial support for state programs and population targets, and answer Congressional inquiries. In the fall of 2001, he was training to be part of an emergencyresponse team for the CDC when a suspicious letter arrived at the NBC News studios. His training became a reality as he and his team spent nearly a month in New York City investigating a possible anthrax outbreak. “The mail-processing facility that had handled the letter was a city-block long,” Gallo said, “and workers there didn’t know if they’d been exposed.” Once the anthrax scare was under control, he went to Bangladesh to work with a group charged with eradicating polio, and he later went to Kenya and Uzbekistan to fight measles, malaria, and AIDS. Gallo recently completed his assignment in Africa and is once again stateside, where he will work with the global health program to help identify public-health threats worldwide.—Maureen Harmon

Heather Sapey-Pertin ’96 Diplomatic affair ■ On a trip to France in 2001, Heather Sapey met Arnaud Yves Daniel Pertin, but she couldn’t really communicate with him much. She was from Vero Beach, Florida, simply on vacation from the real-estate business she shared with her mom, and didn’t speak his language. A few years later, she returned to France and reconnected with Arnaud—but this time, she had done her homework. She spoke a little French, he spoke a little English— and six months later, they were married. Sapey-Pertin left her family, her successful business, and the country she’d known her whole life to start a new life in France. “Four years later,” she said, “I’m functioning.” That’s an understatement. After working in France as a real-estate agent for a little more than a year, Sapey-Pertin perfected her French skills and applied for a job at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in neighboring Switzerland. Today, she has to know more than just a little French. As the WTO’s publications marketing coordinator, she is responsible for marketing the organization’s publications—in English, French, and Spanish. Every day, Sapey-Pertin makes the hour-long drive from her home in France to her office in Geneva to work on producing and promoting the organization’s annual books, including the WTO’s annual report. Plus, she helps to produce some of the 150 other publications released by the WTO every year, with a hand in administration, design, and marketing to WTO members as well as the public. More than 150,000 access the online publications daily to learn 30 ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD

about everything from the latest trade developments in less-developed countries to the statistics surrounding world exports. She uses every marketing tactic she can—from distributing books and sending Web announcements to attending conferences and arming the Secretariat with catalogues, flyers, bookmarks, and posters for their missions around the world. All of this may seem like a leap from her real-estate days, but, SapeyPertin explained, it’s really not that different. “It’s all about getting the information out there and piquing interest in your product—be it an annual report that goes out to every member of the WTO or a two-story home in Winter Park.” When she entered Rollins, Sapey-Pertin never dreamed she’d one day be living and working outside the States. During her junior year, she took advantage of a study-abroad program that took her to Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras for one month, followed by six more studying cultural anthropology at the University of the Yucatan in Mérida, Mexico. “The experience opened my world totally,” Sapey-Pertin said. She even learned a little Spanish along the way. “It’s in the back of my head, and it will come out one day.” Those experiences prepped Sapey-Pertin for a life beyond U.S. borders. The view, for one thing, is quite different: As she and the more than 600 other WTO staffers work each day, they look out on beautiful Lake Geneva and the United Nations Palace. “It is very exciting to be in a diplomatic setting,” she said, “where people from around the world come together to discuss humanitarian affairs.” (HeatherSapey-Pertin@wto.org) —Maureen Harmon

Sheikh Hussein Al-Banawi ’78 ’80MBA Global visionary ■ Whether leading a successful business or setting a course for academic pursuits, Sheikh Hussein Al-Banawi ’78 ’80MBA is a man of vision. When he chose to cross the world to attend Rollins College, the native Saudi Arabian had three criteria in making his decision. First, Sheikh Al-Banawi preferred to be in a southern climate, having received his associate of arts degree in Switzerland. Second, he wanted to attend a small, high-quality institution. And finally—and perhaps the most unique requirement: he wanted a place where no Arab students had preceded him. His vision, he explained, was to pioneer a positive image and connection to the West. “And I hope I did a fair job,” Al-Banawi said. “That’s something my successors can determine… those who came after me as students from the Arab world.” After graduation, Al-Banawi returned to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and his new role as chairman and CEO of the Banawi Industrial Group (BIG)—a leader in the specialty chemicals and packaging industry in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region since 1956—with new concepts for Middle Eastern business practices. He has been at the helm of the family business ever since and finds that his dual major in political science and business administration continues to give him perspective. “There is such a thing as the politics of business and the business of politics,” he noted. He credits the tools and relationships gained at Rollins with helping him successfully guide BIG through an era of globalization and massive changes in technology. Creating a performance-driven corporate culture that focuses on customer satisfaction while enhancing shareowner value has been the key to keeping the business thriving in the midst of change, he said. As he looks to the future, Sheikh Al-Banawi sees two challenges

facing the Arab business world as it continues to seek growth opportunities. “One is the ability for us to continue to provide the right education for future generations, because business is first and foremost about people,” he said. The second is being in an area that historically has had its fair share of political turmoil. The remedy to this, he believes, is continuing to engage internationally. The melding of his business acumen and interest in academia led Al-Banawi to establish the Chair of Islamic Economics, Finance, and Management at Rice University, his brother’s alma mater. He sees the chair as a way of showing gratitude to the country that gave him the opportunity for higher education, as well as a means for American students to examine past contributions of the Arab civilization to the science of economics in order to help solve today’s complex economic issues. “A lot of dust has settled on this science over many years, but maybe the world can take a look at it again, in today’s terms, and perhaps adjust for the future,” Sheikh Al-Banawi said. “Over the years, academia has proved to be the right home for such initiatives.” He hopes to launch future efforts that will bring MBA students into closer dialogue with business executives internationally. Commenting on the importance of maintaining a balance between the fast-paced world of business enterprise and the slower-paced world of academia, Sheikh Al-Banawi said: “As human beings, this is God’s gift that we have two eyes. One eye has to be on today, and one eye has to be on tomorrow.” (ceo@banawigroup.com)—Alice Smetheram Bass ’88

Jon Darrah ’64 The wanderer ■ Jon Darrah’s long career as a goodwill ambassador has paid dividends in so many countries that it is difficult to pin him down on his favorite assignment. It could be Russia, where in 1992 he was the Peace Corps’ first country director. Perhaps Bataan, where he ran a large training project for Indo-Chinese refugees of the Vietnam War who were being resettled in the United States. And then there is his current post in China, where he oversees training for Chinese teachers of English. It’s a tough call. Along the world journey—which began in 1965 when he became a Peace Corps volunteer—he has acquired fluency in four Asian languages and a deep understanding of how people come to know one another. Darrah joined an organization that makes careerism difficult: From its beginning in the Kennedy Administration, the Peace Corps has prevented bureaucratic overgrowth by limiting employment to five-year terms. And so, Darrah has built his life’s work around periodic shifts— from volunteer to administrator, from the Peace Corps to other agencies and back to the Peace Corps again. The scheme has worked well. As country director with the Peace Corps, he holds the highest position that is not a political appointment. Darrah has served nine countries in this role, “each with its challenges and satisfactions,” he said, “but my current work in China has been probably the most interesting.” Working from Chengdu in the Sichuan Province—the size of France with 60 million people, located 1,500 miles

south and west of Beijing—he leads 110 volunteers who teach English language, literature, writing, and culture to Chinese university students who will go on to teach English in their hometown schools. With 20 percent of the world’s population and 200 million school-age children, China promises nine years of schooling, including study of a foreign language. According to Darrah, the country needs 500,000 more English teachers. “So the Peace Corps still has plenty of work to do,” he said. Married on Christmas Day 1980, Darrah and his wife, Jirapa, who goes by Gee, have two children, Jennifer ’00 and Jack, a junior at Boston University—both born in their mother’s home country of Thailand. On his first volunteer hitch, Darrah drew heavily on the economics education he had received at Rollins, but a skill he acquired from his plumber grandfather also came in handy. Working in a Malaysian jungle with the native Ibans, Darrah constructed 18 gravity-fed water systems for their bamboo longhouses. There, he said, “I came to learn about a group of people who were different from those I had known, and they, in turn, had come to know an American in a way that they wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.” Once the dream is over, he said, “I must sit down and write it all down— if for no other reason than for my children’s offspring. They will wonder what their wandering grandfather actually did. My father’s family are all Scots; they are all wanderers,” said Darrah, son of the late Theodore S. Darrah ’73H, dean of the Knowles Memorial Chapel from 1947 to 1975. “I’m the wanderer for my generation.” (chelseakirakira@yahoo.com) —Stephen M. Combs ’66 FALL 2007 31

John Dickinson ’72 ATTORNEY ABROAD ■ Every once in a while, John Dickinson gets a hankering for Mexican food—specifically, food from his favorite restaurant, Goode Company, in Houston. Problem is…he sits down to dinner every night in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he is in the middle of a four-year assignment as legal manager for Chevron Upstream Europe. Though he misses family and friends in Texas, it’s been a pretty fair trade. “Within a few minutes of leaving Aberdeen,” Dickinson said, “we can be driving through absolutely gorgeous emerald-green rolling hills with grazing sheep, experiencing a constantly changing palette of colors—during all seasons, and taking in the most picturesque coastline imaginable.” Still, Scotland is a far cry from Texas, where Dickinson worked as an attorney for Chevron (formerly Gulf Oil Corp. and Standard Oil of California until a merger in 1984) in oil and gas law. He spent more than two decades handling the legal end of gas and oil exploration and agreements, and other commercial prospects for the company. Just prior to landing the job overseas, he worked on several projects involving liquefied natural gas, including development of regasification facilities (where LNG is transformed back into a gas from its liquid state.) Dickinson has always wanted to experience European life, so when he heard about the position in Aberdeen, he applied. The career adventure has proven to be overwhelming, but enjoyable. “This turned out to be more of a challenge than I anticipated,” he said. Not only

did he have to adjust to a new culture, he had to adjust to a whole new role at work. “It was a transition from doing very specialized work in a large headquarters law department to handling virtually every legal issue that can arise in a major business operation,” said Dickinson, who has dealt with everything from contract negotiations to major asset sales to European Union employment regulations. He’s also had to gain an understanding of the United Kingdom’s legal system, which requires two kinds of lawyers: a solicitor to draft contracts and advise clients (that’s Dickinson), and a barrister to argue cases in court. “The challenge has proved very exciting and rewarding,” Dickinson said, “but I’ve never worked harder or put in longer hours than in these last two years.” Dickinson and his wife, Jackie, still manage to find time to get out of the office and get to know their adopted country—checking out the North Sea coastline, cliffs, and quaint fishing villages, as well as exploring the Scottish Highland’s rivers, whiskey distilleries, and old castles. They’ve also visited Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and the nearby countries of Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. When his four-year assignment is completed in 2009, Dickinson will most likely pack up and leave the cool green hills of Scotland to return to the familiar heat and humidity of Texas, where he’ll resume his duties at Chevron’s headquarters in Houston.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BOARD PROFILE Tony Wilner ’82 MAN OF INTELLIGENCE ■ Tony Wilner ’82 has not forgotten his Rollins roots. Every November for the past 20 years, he has made the trip back to Winter Park to visit with faculty and friends in the area. Wanting to give back to his alma mater, Wilner accepted an appointment to the Alumni Association Board of Directors four years ago, and he has worked energetically on Rollins’ behalf ever since. Currently, he and his board colleague Asunta D’Urso Fleming ’81 are developing the Rollins Alumni Mentoring Program (RAMP), which will match board members with students based on their career interests. “Professors don’t always have the most updated career guidance to impart. We want to fill that gap,” Wilner said. “This is something we didn’t have during our time at Rollins that we could have benefited from significantly.” Wilner believes any board member’s role should be to leave an organization in better shape than it was when he or she started. He has applied this same guiding principle to his longtime career in intelligence. As a Rollins student, Wilner had no idea he’d work eventually in the intelligence field, but many of his psychology research projects— including one on hostage negotiation—applied behavioral science to law enforcement, giving him a good foundation. After graduating with a BA in psychology, he received an MA in criminal justice from the University of South Florida. He then was hired by the Department of Defense as an investigator and eventually transferred to the Operations Organization as an intelligence analyst, concentrating on counterterrorism and international organized crime. After that, he served as a liaison to the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Joint Intelligence Task Force– Combating Terrorism. Wilner is currently the liaison to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and to the U.S. Department of Justice, providing intelligence support.

With this background, it seems only fitting that Wilner would be the architect of a unique September 11 memorial soon to replace Rollins’ current marker. After discovering that Manuel “Manny” Papir ’89, then deputy chief of staff to New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, had donated a piece of granite from the fallen World Trade Center to the College, Wilner went to work. Going through official channels, he was able to obtain a piece of salvaged Pentagon limestone and a fragment of shale from the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The Rollins memorial will feature the three stones arranged along with commemorative coins and inscription of a quote from President George W. Bush. What is remarkable about this 9/11 memorial is that it will be the first anywhere containing a touchstone from all three affected locales. In another project dear to his heart, Wilner has dipped into Rollins’ past to rescue and refurbish two components of the original Rollins College entrance marker, which was a gift of the Class of 1953. A “Fiat Lux” coat of arms and dedication stone inscribed with “Senior Class A.D. 1953” were part of the sign mounted at the corner of Park and Fairbanks Avenues until the addition of the McKean Gateway and reconfiguration of the fence surrounding Cahall-Sandspur Field a few years ago. “The surviving members of the Class of 1953 were solicited for their ideas about the proposed preservation,” Wilner said. “They were very thankful and enthusiastic that their gift will live on.” (twilner@cablespeed.com) —Russ J.

Jack Flader ’85 GLOBETROTTER ■ Though Jack Flader ’85 wasn’t aware of it back then, the man who was Rollins president during his college days would have a direct hand in his 20-year career journey of international business, law, and finance. After graduating from Rollins with a double major in English and philosophy, Flader accepted a job with a trade-finance company in London, England. Within three months, he was asked to run the firm’s Singapore and Malaysia subsidiaries. And so, with Rollins degree in hand, he interviewed for his employment visa with Singapore’s immigration department. “My Rollins diploma is in Latin and no one there could read it—including me,” he said. Undaunted, Flader asked the officials if they would like to speak with Rollins’ president, Thaddeus Seymour ’82HAL ’90H. Over the phone a few days later, Seymour “told them all sorts of great things about me. And I got my visa,” Flader said. “I don’t think students from many universities would have an opportunity to get that kind of help from a president. I’ll always be grateful for that. Great guy!” After almost two years with the tradefinance company, Flader came back to the United States to earn his MBA and law degrees. In 1989, he returned to Asia, where he worked as a paralegal for a large, international law firm in Hong Kong before settling into the world of international-business law. He has been based primarily in Hong Kong ever since. In early 2006, Flader resigned from his position at his last firm to join his wife, Marina, in launching Global Consultants and Services Limited (GCSL), a fiduciary-services company based in Hong Kong. “GCSL sets up companies, trusts, and other special purpose vehicles and then provides a range of administrative services for structures that we design for clients,” said Flader, who serves as the company’s CEO and group managing director.

13 months, GCSL has expanded to a total of eight offices (in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Belize, Cook Islands, Samoa, and on the Caribbean islands of Anguilla and Nevis), 40 staff members, and clients scattered all over the globe. “It’s a busy schedule—I travel six to 10 months a year,” Flader said. Of the decision to base his business in Hong Kong, he said: “Hong Kong is designed for people to do business and make money. The tax system is very friendly and the government is hands off.” When the communist Chinese government resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997, there was widespread trepidation among many that the favorable business climate would be destroyed. That wasn’t the viewpoint of Flader and hasn’t been the case, he said. “The region still pretty much runs the same way it did before.” His thoughts on mainland China’s free-market system? “It’s the Industrial Revolution on steroids. What Europe did in 500 years and the U.S. did in 200 years, China is doing in 30 to 50 years.” Turns out Flader’s study of philosophy was just the right preparation for his career in the international arena. “One of my favorite professors told me philosophy would teach me how to think for the rest of my life. And he was right. That London firm that hired me right out of college—they told me they hired me because they were impressed that I knew how to think and that they could teach me everything I needed to know about business and finance.” (denisesports@msn.com)—Russ J.

A Gift to Rollins?

In Deed! THE NEXT TIME you’re preparing to list your property for sale, consider deeding a percentage of the property to Rollins College. It’s an easy way to make a gift to the College and reduce your exposure to taxes. Whether its “downsizing” from your current home, selling your vacation property, or divesting yourself or your business of commercial property, you may be in a position to to incorporate your charitable giving into your plans. Prior to arranging a sale of your property, it is possible to deed a percentage interest in that property to Rollins College. When the property is sold, the College receives its percentage of the net proceeds—and a portion of tax exposure may be avoided. If you would like to learn more about this and other real-estate gift arrangements, please contact Robert R.

S P O T L I G H T O N YO U N G A L U M N I —By Ruth Jackson

Amber R. Carlson ’04

Sarah Ledbetter ’05

Cyva7@aol.com

seledbetter@aol.com

CULTURAL DREAMER—Amber Carlson ’04 dreams big, works hard, and travels far. She ran a theater workshop in Trinidad in 2000; in Romania in 2002, she helped build a church and lead English education seminars in three cities. Her dream of a trip to China began her Rollins senior year, and she spent the next year working and holding two fundraisers to make it possible. Carlson arrived in Huizhou in January 2006 to teach English to students of all ages for the Swedish-owned private school English First. There, she directed students in the first all-English production of The Sound of Music and learned to make music of her own on the hulusi (silk gourd pipe). Her students progressed to the final stage of nationwide English competitions and won in various categories. Carlson returned to Florida in August 2006. “Currently, I’m working on a screenplay examining hero commonalities in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions,” she said, “as well as two other projects, one going into production this fall.” Her newest dreams include launching an Orlando-based production company, going to UCLA for an MBA in entertainment and media management, and writing/ directing culturally diverse projects.

JET-setter—Sarah Ledbetter ’05 may not have a private plane, but she certainly gets around. After graduating from Rollins, the Presidential and Cornell Scholar spent two years traveling throughout Japan as an assistant language teacher in the Japanese Exchange & Teaching (JET) program. Ledbetter was employed by the Aichi Prefectural Board of Education and was based at Shinshiro Higashi High School. In addition to routinely shuttling to three other senior high schools in the area, she traveled extensively throughout the country, making presentations at teacher conferences and taking in many Japanese cities, including Nagoya and Tokyo. “I was always interested in Asia because of my Filipino heritage, but I didn’t have the opportunity to learn about Asian culture and history until I became an Asian studies minor at Rollins,” said Ledbetter, who was a member of the Asian American Student Association (serving as vice president during her sophomore year) and president of the Student Government Association her junior year. Ledbetter’s duties for JET ended in July 2007, and she has made the switch from teacher to student, studying in Okazaki for a few months before coming home for “much-needed time with family and friends.” Her immediate plans include employment and further Japaneselanguage studies. A return to Japan is also on her agenda. “One of the grad schools to which I’m applying is in Yokohama,” she said, “so I may be back as soon as next year.”

SPRING REUNION BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

REUNION 2008 March 28-30, 2008 As you may be aware, in 2004 Rollins moved from its traditional spring reunion to a “new” reunion venue, Homecoming, which has taken place in the fall for the past three years. While Homecoming has been popular with alumni, there has been strong sentiment and enthusiastic encouragement expressed for returning to a springtime reunion celebration. After carefully considering feedback from alumni, the Office of Alumni Relations is excited to announce the return to a spring reunion in 2008. In order to allow ample planning time in making the transition to the spring format, all alumni with class anniversaries in 2007 and 2008 will celebrate their reunions in March 2008.

70th Reunion—1937,

1938

60th Reunion—1947, 1948 50th Reunion—1957, 1958 40th Reunion—1967, 1968 30th Reunion—1977, 1978 25th Reunion—1982, 1983 20th Reunion—1987, 1988

Join us for what is sure to be one of the biggest reunions in Rollins history as alumni from neighboring class years celebrate their special anniversaries! The traditional reunion activities will once again reverberate across campus as we welcome alumni back for a grand spring weekend of Rollins pride, spirit, and camaraderie. As always, all alumni are welcome and encouraged to attend the festivities. Plan ahead now for Reunion 2008 and come home to Rollins to reconnect with classmates, revisit the beautiful campus, remember good times shared with friends, and reminisce about days gone by. Look for more information and details in the upcoming issues of the Rollins Alumni Record and FOXflash e-Newsletter.
