Celebrating Faculty Scholars
Friday, April 16, 2010 Galloway Room Mills Memorial Building
April 16, 2010
I would like to congratulate Arts & Sciences faculty members who have published or edited books, peer-reviewed journal articles, or the creative equivalent from winter 2009 through spring 2010. This recognition program began as a new A&S tradition in spring 2008, as a way to honor A&S faculty scholars. Over the past five semesters, the program has evolved to also celebrate faculty who have published peer-reviewed and creative equivalent work. Since this program’s inception, we have celebrated 23 different faculty book authors or editors as well as 160 peer-reviewed journal articles or the creative equivalents from more than 50 faculty—some of whom have had multiple publications. Today, I am pleased to honor the work of Drs. Ilan Alon, Rita Bornstein, president emerita, as well as professors Rachel Simmons and Wenxian Zhang. I am also delighted to highlight the work of 19 A&S faculty members who published 42 journal articles or the creative equivalent for their discipline in recent months. I thank you for joining me as we celebrate our colleagues for their exceptional scholarly achievements. While teaching and learning remain top priorities, these faculty members have successfully integrated their research interests into their courses honoring the primacy of student-centered learning at Rollins. In addition, their work contributes to disciplinary knowledge, strengthens our community of learners and continues to improve Rollins’ reputation for academic excellence. I congratulate each of our distinguished colleagues on their outstanding accomplishments and thank them for their many contributions that enhance the intellectual vitality of our campus.
With best regards, Laurie M. Joyner, Ph.D. Dean of the Faculty Professor of Sociology

Closing remarks
Succession Planning for the Higher Education Presidency Rita Bornstein, (AGB, 2010) “Succession planning with an emphasis on internal leadership development is essential in meeting the leadership challenges we anticipate.” Drawing on her background as president emerita at Rollins College and as vice president for development at the University of Miami, Bornstein calls upon colleges and universities to take a fresh look at their internal processes for leadership development and succession planning. She paints a startling picture of the state of the presidency: the aging of presidents is leading to unprecedented turnover in the not-too-distant future; the lack of systemic approaches to identifying and developing internal talent has left limited numbers of successors in the pipeline; and the demand this situation generates will lead to intense competition for future leaders. Bornstein offers questions to consider, practical recommendations and concrete examples of succession planning steps to be taken by boards, institution leaders, and aspiring leaders.
Biography Rita Bornstein, Ph.D., served as 13th president of Rollins College from 1990 to 2004, the first woman to hold that office. In 2001, she was named to the George D. and Harriet W. Cornell Professor of Distinguished Presidential Leadership when Rollins received a $10-million gift for the first endowment of a college presidency in the nation. At the conclusion of her 14-year presidency, she was named president emerita and appointed to the George D. and Harriet W. Cornell Professor of Philanthropy and Leadership Development. Under President Bornstein’s leadership, Rollins focused on strengthening its commitment to excellence, innovation, and community. Standards were raised for faculty evaluation, student selectivity, and all aspects of administration. Average SAT scores for entering Arts & Sciences students rose more than 65 points and Rollins’ place in U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges” climbed from #6 regional university in the South to No. 2, and No. 1 in Florida. That trajectory continued—Rollins is currently No. 1 in the South. Innovation was encouraged and rewarded, and programs were added in film studies, international business, and sustainable development, as well as the signature Rollins College Conference for firstyear students. The College’s commitment to building strong communities was enhanced through programs of intellectual discourse, civic engagement, international study, and service learning. In 1997, Rollins reaffirmed its role as a leader in the national conversation on liberal education, hosting key educators for a conference entitled The Rollins Colloquy Toward A Pragmatic Liberal Education: The Curriculum of the Twenty-First Century. The resulting book, Education and Democracy: Reimagining Liberal Learning, published by The College Board, remains an important document in the conversation about the liberal arts curriculum. President Bornstein also oversaw Rollins’ most ambitious fundraising effort. Widely considered to have transformed the College, The Campaign For Rollins secured $160.2 million, providing support for academic programs, scholarships, faculty chairs, and facilities, and significantly strengthening the College’s financial health. Thanks to the generosity of donors, including the largest gift in Rollins’ history—alumnus George Cornell’s $93.3-million bequest—and astute financial management, the College’s endowment more than quintupled during Bornstein’s presidency. A recognized leader in higher education, Bornstein regularly consults on issues of leadership, governance, and fundraising in the nonprofit sector. She is also the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters and two books, including Legitimacy in the Academic Presidency: From Entrance to Exit, published in 2003.

“Wonders” Rachel Simmons Rachel Simmons’ body of work entitled “Wonders” urges viewers to consider how human activities are negatively impacting the ocean. “Wonders” explores the eclecticism of marine forms and the fragility of ocean ecosystems. “Wonders of the Sea,” an installation of 98 mixed media works on paper, includes deliberate references to eighteenth century “curiosity” collections like that of pharmaceutical scientist Albertus Seba, prompting the viewer to ponder our past and present relationships with the sea.

In the digital mixed media series “Anoxia,” environmental issues such as plastic pollution and coral reef destruction are explored through the integration of painting, printmaking, sewing and photography. Selections from Moby Dick, Herman Melville’s classic portrait of maritime fear and desire are handwritten onto several pieces, directing the viewer to contemplate a culturally specific perception of the ocean’s importance. This work was on exhibit as part of the L.A. Design Center’s group show “stream” and on display as a solo exhibition at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, and at Vanderbilt’s Sarratt Gallery. In fall of 2009, her work was part of a solo exhibit at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center, Dunedin, Fla.

A Guide To The Top 100 Companies In China Edited by Wenxian Zhang & Ilan Alon, (World Scientific Publishing, 2010) Under the label of “the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics”, the Chinese Government has made a firm commitment to economic reform, though still retaining tight political control. Thus, under conditions of liberal economic systems and autocratic rule, a new capitalist system is emerging in China; its top companies are managed by private entrepreneurs, government bodies or a combination of both. This book, presented in an easily accessible format, fills an important gap in the growing literature on China in the global economy and provides a research reference tool on China’s top companies. It offers a comprehensive directory listing of the Top 100 corporations in China, thus enhancing the research potential on China for students, researchers and businesses. As a general reference guide to the Chinese economy, A Guide to the Top 100 Companies in China provides up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the top Chinese enterprises. Corporations from Hong Kong and Taiwan that conduct significant business in China are also included.
