—Interview by Mike Thee

10 40 40

40 70 40

President Sundborg: The phrase that keeps surfacing, or materializing, is, 'Seattle University is Seattle's university.' There's no other university that has positioned itself to be engaged in the city of Seattle the way in which we have. We—our students, alumni, faculty, staff and partners—are immersed and embedded in what makes Seattle work and that has a big, big impact.

40 100

As we embark on a new comprehensive campaign and move in a number of key strategic directions, how do you see the university positioning itself in the years ahead?

100 40

40 100

President Sundborg: It's very important that we retain the fact that Jesuit education is always high-touch education so it depends on, for its success, a significant encounter, engagement, relationship with professors and with other students. Our niche in education is that relationship between the professor with the intellectual passion and the student. So how we work that out in the hybrid and online format is a very important dimension for us. And then it's important to work out what dimensions of the Core curriculum, what dimensions of value education, what dimensions of reflection and analysis, what questions around how do you use your education are embedded in these courses and this school. That's all very doable. There's been a thing called JesuitNet that lots of universities have been involved in and they've tested out whether you can deliver a Jesuit education in an online kind of a manner. The outcomes show that you can. We just have to be very conscientious and intentional about how we do it. We're taking a prudent approach on this. It would be a mistake not to move into this area; it would be a mistake to move into it too quickly and without lots of consideration.

President Sundborg: The biggest thing that's emerging will be the development of the School for New and Continuing Studies. There’s not been a new school at Seattle University since July 1, 1997, when the School of Theology and Ministry was formally inaugurated, so that's 17 years. And this is one that's an adult bachelor's degree completion program school and continuing education school with very significant use of hybrid and online education. So, moving into that and developing that and putting together the structures so that it's fully launched by the fall of 2015 will be a big thing. The other thing that's big is that we've moved Career Services over to the academic side of the house. This is part of our move to an integrated center for career and academic advising, which will much more effectively put students on the pathway toward careers and jobs.

Kristen M. Swanson, RN, PhD, FAAN, is the new dean of the Seattle University College of Nursing. Dr. Swanson comes to SU from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, where she was named a distinguished professor and dean of the School of Nursing. Under her leadership, UNC’s nursing school continued to be one of the top programs in the country, increased the diversity of its faculty and helped launch new programs such as the Doctor of Nursing Practice. In addition to being a skilled administrator, Swanson is a renowned scholar. She is particularly known for her research on pregnancy loss, as well as the Swanson Theory of Caring, which is used internationally as a guide for research, education and practice. An alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Executive Fellows program, Swanson is also a member of the American Academy of Nursing. Dr. Swanson has shown leadership in developing creative, collaborative responses to the challenges facing the profession of nursing and nursing education today. The Seattle area is familiar to Swanson, who did her postdoctoral studies at the UW before serving on the school’s faculty for more than two decades.

Puget Sound Energy awarded Seattle University an incenentive of more than $280,000 for the school’s sustainability ty efforts at Connolly Center. The school signed up for a PSE commercial custom m grant and installed state-of-the-art heat-recovery equipment that reclaims heat from the exhaust air and recirculates back into the building at Connolly. The new equipment allows for greater conservation by using less natural gas energy for heating at the athletic and recreational facility. According to Ray Lane of PSE, “Every year the school will save an estimated 77,268 therms of energy, which is the equivalent of carbon dioxide emissions from nearly 46,000 gallons of gas, 954 barrels of oil or 61 single-family homes.” es.”

lived,” says Sawyer, who chose this as the focus of his master’s thesis at Oxford. After he received his master’s degree, with distinction, and returned to the Northwest, he knew academia wasn’t his calling. That’s when his wife connected him with a recruiter who thought he would be a good fit for a little-known online bookseller called Amazon.com. In his book One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon.com, Richard Brandt describes how Bezos wanted interesting and fun-to-be-around employees with high college grade-point averages and SAT scores. They needn’t fit a corporate mold or have bookselling experience. What better match than a Rhodes Scholar. Sawyer was among the earliest hires Bezos made and quickly became director of strategic growth, a title that belied his role as chief recruiter for Bezos and Amazon. “Bezos is the smartest person I’ve ever met,” Sawyer says. “He wanted someone with no experience at recruiting and no bad habits.” Five years later, he left Amazon. He says he was never especially taken with technology. That’s when he wrote a volume of poetry. After years of surveying the poetry of others, writing poetry was a fresh exploration for Sawyer. Yet, not unlike Wallace Stevens, it never occurred to him to pursue it as a career. “I never thought of writing in a professional way, rather as part of my life, but not all of it,” he says. Sawyer chose to follow the lead of his dad, an accountant by training, who went to work with Merrill Lynch when he was in his 50s. “He was a good, disciplined and patient investment adviser who could explain complex ideas. When he retired, I decided to try it. Merrill Lynch said ‘go ahead.’ After seven years with Merrill Lynch, I eventually thought I should do this on my own,” he says. Not quite three years ago, he opened Viewpoint Capital Management in Madrona, just a few blocks from his home. “It’s a medieval village life,” he says, with a contented smile. His children Nora, 7, and

respect—in the classroom, on the soccer field and in campus social life where he met Jane DePaolo, ’94, now his wife.” Sawyer took part in the Honors program and majored in philosophy and English. When he and Jane met she was also an English major. After graduation he headed to Fordham University and in 1995, was named a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University near London. Previous American winners of the Rhodes include two former presidents, the late John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton. At SU, Sawyer approached a literary understanding of poetry first through his philosophy studies, then English. Oxford beckoned him to pursue this passion. He has a special appreciation for the late Wallace Stevens, a Connecticut insurance executive and accomplished 20th-century poet. “I liked the image of someone with a lot of interests who chooses to write poetry,” Sawyer says. The Rhodes Scholar came upon an essay by Adrienne Rich, a respected feminist poet and essayist. In the essay she described a trip planned to Joshua Tree National Park near Palm Springs,

Men’s Soccer Coach Pete Fewing had an eye for talent when he chose Ryan Sawyer, ’94, to play for Seattle University. Here’s how it went down. Sawyer grew up in Boise, Idaho, and knew a big-city school with the added benefit of soccer would be in his future. He piqued Fewing’s interest with a fourminute video of some of his best plays. “We took a nighttime tour of campus, running from Connolly Center through the campus before heading to Tacoma, where he was playing in a soccer game,” Sawyer recalls. “After the game, he wanted me to knock the ball around to see if I really could play.” Thanks to that unusual night and that enterprising video Fewing still recalls more than two decades later, Sawyer found his way to SU where he became not only a soccer star and team captain, but also a diligent student, summa cum laude graduate and a celebrated Rhodes Scholar (one of only two; the first was the late Emile Wilson, ’71, ’74 ME). Later, Sawyer was among the first to be hired by then-upstart company Amazon. com, became a published poet and an

Editor’s note: Fr. Bayard recently underwent surgery in Portland after it was discovered he had cancer. The magazine went to press a few days after his surgery. He is in good spirits and appreciative of prayerful support from the SU community. Send well wishes to msbayardsj@ gmail.com.

70 70 40

Final thoughts? Fr. Bayard: I am grateful for being a member of the Seattle University community over the last 14 years. I will sincerely miss all of the colleagues I have worked with from across the university. And I look forward to visiting when I return. And, who knows, maybe the Jesuits will reassign me to SU at some point in the future.

As someone who's been on the front lines of working with today's college students, how do you think Pope Francis is resonating with young people? Fr. Bayard: Young people are excited. Many are returning to the church. I think they find a man who they can connect with. He can speak their language and has encouraged them in their faith. He

has certainly sparked vocations among young people as they consider again the possibility of a committed, religious life.

10 40 40

40 70 40

What will you miss most about SU? Fr. Bayard: The friendships, the colleagues and the community that is so strong here. I will miss my Jesuit community. I will miss that all of us here—whether Jesuit, faculty, staff, student or alumni—all work together to engage the mission.

In his 14 years at SU, Mike Bayard, S.J., served in a variety of roles, most recently as director of Campus Ministry. He was well liked among the campus community as a whole as someone who was always game to chat with students, faculty and staff about various topics.

100 40

40 100

What are your thoughts about leaving SU? Fr. Bayard: I have been a Seattle University Jesuit for 14 years. It is who I am and I cannot imagine not being a Seattle University Jesuit. I think it will take some time to let go of this identity and yet, as Jesuits, we are called to take on new ministries throughout the course of our lives. I feel ready and confident about this new position.

30 30

What will you be doing in your new role? Fr. Bayard: As provincial assistant to the parishes, I am responsible for ensuring the Jesuit mission and charism of each of our parishes. Similarly, I engage parish ministries in a continued conversation about our shared Jesuit Catholic mission. I also provide support and encouragement for pastors and other Jesuits assigned there, as well as parish staffs and ministries. In addition to the parishes, I am also responsible for the spirituality centers and retreat centers of the entire West Coast.

Father Bayard, who was director of Campus Ministry, now serves as assistant for parish ministries with the Oregon and California Provinces. Since his arrival at SU in 2000, Bayard has served in a variety of roles, first as coordinator of Ignatian retreats. In 2006, he became co-founder and director of Magis: Alumni Living the Mission and in 2009, director of Campus Ministry. As he prepared to begin the next chapter of his life, Fr. Bayard spoke about his new role and looks back on his time at SU.

About That Blood Do-it-yourselfers might be familiar with the 14 or more recipes for fake blood out there on the Web. There’s maple syrup blood, congealed BBQ sauce blood, peanut butter blood, soy sauce blood, chocolate syrup and coffee blood and of course, the classic tomato blood. Al O’Brien prefers this recipe (below) from Elizabeth Murray, a forensic anthropologist and professor at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, Ohio.

strictly by gravity—when you cut your hand while fixing dinner—and will be in circles on your kitchen floor. Medium velocity blood spatter—when someone is beaten with a baseball bat or hammer—tends to be round with a pointed end in the direction it’s traveling. High velocity blood spatters are in a fine spray normally caused by a gunshot,” he says, adding that a good blood spatter analyst can determine the height from which the gun was fired and where the perpetrator stood. A Marine Corps Vietnam combat veteran, O’Brien turned to politics after he left the police force. He became a city council member in Mountlake Terrace, then First District state representative for 14 years. He chaired the House Criminal Justice and Corrections Committee for a decade and teaches a graduate-level course in criminal justice legislation and policy. Among his other courses

Germany, had serious problems with witch hunts in the 16th century. In one German town, there were 1,500 victims. “Why would it be most intense in German lands? One possibility is that it was the home of the Protestant Reformation and there was considerable religious anxiety about the same time as the witch hunts,” she says. Centuries ago, women were defined by their domestic responsibilities. Female healers were challenged as witches, according to Pepper, about the same time medicine emerged as a profession. Sophomore Daniel Schiff, a student in the witch hunt course last spring, was intrigued by the topic. “I was looking for a real niche in the Core that would keep my attention— something I don’t know anything about,” he says.

horror flick to another. It was the historical nature of crime and punishment that led Kamerling to contemplate how zombies might contribute to a dialogue about national identity. Say what? Think “us” vs. “them,” he suggests. “Crime serves an important social function. We aren’t ‘us’ unless we serve a useful function. We need criminals and monsters.” Sophomore Helena Laubach, who took the zombies class last fall, says, “What I find so interesting about the class is the fact that the different types of zombies can be attributed to a certain time period and the general feelings of the society of that time. To analyze history through the monsters of the time is a really fascinating way to approach the subject.” Pepper says her course on European witch hunts between the 15th and 18th centuries explores the intersection of gender, theology, the legal system and politics. “I like the idea that students can’t separate out just one aspect. It’s a way to introduce students to the reality that history is very complex, not just dates and facts,” says Pepper. “This course is more specifically designed to teach research skills and critical thinking.” She and her students explore why some parts of Europe were virtually unscathed and others, particularly

Zombie movies such as Night of the Living Dead resurface to haunt us. The Walking Dead is one of the highest-rated TV shows, week after week. And witches? They’re edging out vampires, with several TV series now devoted to covens, witch hunts and the supernatural. These days zombies and witches permeate popular culture. Just ask Seattle University instructor Tracey Pepper, who teaches “The European Witch Hunts” or instructor Henry Kamerling, whose course is “Zombies: A History of the Undead.” Both inquiry seminars in the humanities are Core history courses. Where’s the academic rigor in all this witch hunt and zombie talk, you may wonder? These seminars point freshmen toward the ways historians think and pursue knowledge. Kamerling says the topic of zombies may be boutique, but his is really a straightforward history class. “It definitely shakes up preconceived notions of history,” he says. Zombies offer an inventive way to understand deviance and its expressions in pop culture, according to Kamerling. As students look for academic insights, they also have opportunities to develop analytic thinking and reasoning skills when they write research papers and prepare for a capstone oral presentation. Folk zombies, atomic zombies, Nazi zombies, apocalyptic zombies—there’s a migration and transformation of zombies from one era to the next, from one popular

Seattle University’s 2014 Red Tie Celebration honored NBA and SU basketball legend Elgin Baylor. Baylor was recognized not only for his prowess in the game but also for the path he paved for today’s student athletes and coaches. The second annual event, held May 31, is a fundraiser for SU Athletics and honors individuals who have made a positive impact in the world of collegiate sports. Some of Baylor’s honors include election to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, multiple years as an All-NBA First Team, Rookie of the Year in 1959—the same year he was All-Star Co-MVP— and an 11–time NBA All-Star. At SU, he joined the basketball team in the 1956–57 season and was part of the 1957–58 team that played in the NCAA Championship Game. In his collegiate seasons he averaged 31.3 points per game. This year’s sold out event, co-chaired by alumnus Dino Rossi, ’82, and his wife Terry was widely successful, raising money to benefit the various sports programs at SU. Save the date for the next Red Tie Celebration on May 30, 2015.

They could be put to various uses, like describing the change that came with industrialization.” In grad school Hillard sharpened her focus on studying Victorian scholars

“We tend to think of fairy tales as quaint, idealized and ahistorical. In reality though, these are potent narratives that served and continue to serve as cultural allegories.”

30 30

When most think of fairy tales, their minds wander to classic stories passed down through generations and popularized through vivid children’s books that tell the tale of Cinderella and her wicked stepsisters or Rapunzel and her long, golden hair. Others think of fairy tales in terms of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong or distinctive characters that come alive on TV and in film, from Peter Pan and Snow White to Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. Many may not know the true origins of these beloved fairy tales or the underlying meanings and messages that imbue them. “We tend to think of fairy tales as quaint, idealized and ahistorical,” says Assistant Professor Molly Clark Hillard, who joined the College of Arts and Sciences English department in 2013. “In reality though, these are potent narratives that served and continue to serve as cultural allegories.” As a teacher and scholar, Hillard is an expert in matters of the Victorian period

John, 10, attend school nearby. His wife now designs housewares for her company, Jane Domestic. He describes his investment philosophy in terms such as “thoughtful contrarianism” and he concedes he’s picky about his clients. “I only work with people I like. Most are in their 40s. A lot are in technology. They’re very bright,” he says. “Some like to debate and challenge my ideas and that makes it even better.” Father Cobb suggests that Sawyer’s livelihood—at both Amazon and as an independent financial consultant—has called upon every aspect of his SU education. The way Coach Fewing sees it, what stood out about Sawyer was his quickness, tenacity, drive and motivation as a soccer player. “He was a smart and scrappy player, a good shooter,” Fewing says. “He would have done well as a starter on any of the championship teams.” Soccer continues to be a big part of Sawyer’s life. Every Wednesday he plays with a soccer team that’s been together since 1997. He coaches soccer for both of his children’s teams, too. He still plays a role in SU soccer. “Ryan has been a great supporter of our team. I really appreciate that and him being around our guys,” Fewing says. This year, Sawyer joined the College of Arts and Sciences Leadership Council. He is also a lifelong evangelist for libraries and a member of the board of directors for the Seattle Public Library Foundation. Sawyer and his family are part of the Chapel of St. Ignatius community on campus. "I see him frequently at Mass with Jane and their children,” says President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., “and whenever we see one another we ask, 'What are you reading?' He tends to read more literature and novels and I tend to read more nonfiction, but we sort of spark one another in terms of what we read. Great guy."

of collaboration and when they have an ‘aha’ moment or an epiphany gives me goose bumps.” Hillard likes to mix literature with art that exemplifies Victorian visual culture. The connection between the visual arts and the written word is driven home through experiential learning that extends outside of the classroom, with visits to museums and historical sites in and around the city where vestiges of the Victorian era are present. Soon Hillard will embark on her next book, which will explore the intersection of Victorian and contemporary literature.

I have an abiding love of the fantastic,” she says. “Victorian literature can be very radical in subtle ways. As a feminist scholar as well as a historical scholar, that appeals to me, to find the subversive elements that show how literature can be used for human rights purposes as well.” As a professor, her approach to teaching is to serve as “an active facilitator,” with students leading and driving the discussion. “I feel extremely fortunate to do what I love at a place that I love,” she says. “And being with students both in the moment

We asked some how they got to where they are. We found fate and serendipity, ambition and drive all played roles. There’s the financial manager who does wonders managing wealth with a side gig as a magician. A baker found the recipe for success with her sweet treats and a NASA atmospheric physicist knows what’s really causing harm to the ozone layer. Others provide useful advice such as how to write a resume and cover letter to land that dream job or what it takes to start and run a new business. These are just a few of the unique and inspiring alums who offer a window into their professional lives shaped by their SU education. Take a look.

WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEP THE MAGIC ALIVE?

I’m in my element to be in front of a group. As a financial adviser, and when I give talks, a little magic keeps them riveted so they won’t fall asleep. Just one unusual thing that catches their attention— flaming or vanishing something inconsequential, for instance—gets them wondering how it happened. Then they don’t want to miss anything. With clients, I don’t always do magic, but I’ll show them a trick and they certainly won’t forget it.

Today, he’s a financial adviser and Certified Financial Planner for Morgan Stanley with a flourish that surprises unsuspecting new clients at his Federal Way office. As he introduces himself and draws a business card from his wallet, it catches fire. If you’re a regular at the annual Albers School of Business and Economics Alumni Crab Feed, you might be accustomed to his tomfooleries. Hart is a member of the Albers Alumni Board, so it’s not unusual for him to bring some of his magic tricks with him to this fundraiser.

WHAT KIND OF RECONNAISSANCE DID YOU DO BEFORE STARTING HELLO ROBIN?

WEHL MARTIN: Start with really good ingredients. I use Shepherd’s Grain flour, the low gluten kind. I only use Diamond kosher salt and good salted butter. I always weigh the flour and butter for greater accuracy. I never use imitation vanilla. A customer recommended Singing Dog vanilla, which is great. And I bake my cookies on parchment paper.

Development Administration program was amazing. I’ve been using the psychology and negotiating skills I learned ever since. It also was invaluable and supportive to work with the International Student Center where I developed good organizational skills. That led to travel abroad, working in Austria with nonprofits and picking up more ideas for my baking. I developed my chocolate chip cookie recipe while I was in Vienna.

She woke up the next morning thinking how wonderful it would be to dabble with coconut and curry for her next baked treat. Her husband Clay Martin suggested she might be trying too hard. Nevertheless, this graduate of the Master of Student Development Administration program forged ahead, much like she did with her distinctive habanero and orange chocolate chip cookie. She has an uncanny knack for knowing when to follow her instincts. Wehl Martin and her husband—he does the accounting and the dishes— operate Hello Robin cookie and coffee shop at 19th and Mercer on Capitol Hill. The small business with five employees opened last December and already has a loyal following. There’s a group of three women who meet up every Tuesday mid-morning for coffee and a treat. Moms and grandmas bring toddlers crazy for cookies with sprinkles. One woman routinely drives from Sea-Tac just for a couple chocolate chip cookies and a cup of hot chocolate. Hello Robin’s ice cream “sammies”—her creations paired with Molly Moon ice cream—draw quite a crowd.

1/2 cup (4 ounces) salted butter 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter 1 1/2 cups flour (Robin suggests whole-wheat pastry flour) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup dry-roasted or Spanish peanuts 1 cup milk chocolate chips

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugars to the butter and cream together being careful not to over mix. Scrape the bowl to make sure the sugars and butter are evenly combined. 2. Add the egg and mix until incorporated, then beat in the peanut butter, scraping down the bowl again after mixing. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. 4. Add the flour mixture to the bowl, beating until smooth and the flour is evenly incorporated. Scrape down the bowl. 5. Add the whole peanuts and milk chocolate chips and mix in by hand, being careful not to crush the peanuts or over work the dough. 6. Using a cookie scoop or spoons, scoop dough into balls. 7. Place cookies in freezer for at least two hours or overnight. (If time doesn't permit, it's OK to bake them now.) 8. Heat the oven to 375 degrees (convection is preferred). Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them at least three inches apart. Bake the cookies until firm and browned around the edges, about 9-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking for even coloring. Cookies should be domed, not flat.

Newman is from a family of SU graduates. His daughter Mary graduated with a degree in English in 2002. His dad Jerry graduated from the mechanical engineering program in 1958.

substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in spray cans were considered a great technological advancement when they were first developed as refrigerants in the 1930s. These gases—including freons and halons—are now globally banned. Atmospheric measurements show that the levels of these CFCs are now decreasing in our atmosphere. Unfortunately, CFCs have long atmospheric lifetimes (50 to 100 years), so it will take a long, long time for the ozone layer to fully recover.

NEWMAN: If they had not been banned, by 2065 two-thirds of the ozone layer would have been destroyed. It still will be 2065 or 2070 before the ozone layer will be back to the level it was in the 1980s.

70 70

NEWMAN: It was almost by luck that I became a physicist. Although I loved history, living in Seattle I knew that scientists could easily find jobs and I loved science, too. I went to a career fair at SU with a friend who wanted to talk to someone at the math table. The math table had a line, but the physics table next to it had no one, so I went there.

Today, Newman is an atmospheric physicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., where climate and ozone interactions are his life’s work. Newman, who earned a degree in physics from SU before going on to get his PhD at Iowa State University, arrived at NASA Goddard in 1984. The 2012 Alumni Award winner is chief scientist for atmospheres. As one of four co-chairs to the United Nations Science Assessment Panel for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, he’s considered NASA Goddard’s most diplomatic scientist. Back in the 1970s, scientists first realized that man-made substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in spray cans, freons in refrigeration and halons in fire extinguishers had a substantial impact on the ozone layer. It wasn’t until the mid-1980s—with the development of the Antarctic ozone hole—that it became clear just how destructive these substances were.

ANALYZE YOUR FINANCIAL REPORTS MONTHLY (AT LEAST) “There’s a point in time when as a small business, a line is crossed and there’s no turning back—the business is going down.

I didn’t understand the concepts of volume, intensity and range to get to where I wanted to be. You want to facilitate muscle growth, not annihilate it. You have to work out smart, which means you can’t push it too soon after an injury, either.

HOW DO YOU KEEP THEM MOTIVATED?

HOLT: Balance, mobility and flexibility are important for everyone, so is always warming up first with cardio and always stretching at the end of your workout. You have to drink enough water and eat the right foods, too.

FOR BUSINESS OWNERS If you don’t have a strong accounting background, hire a CPA. “I’m biased, but accounting is one of the things that can take your business down.

Sometimes I will receive great news and be ecstatic and the next minute I have to handle bad news,” she says. “I try not to ride the emotional rollercoaster because it can happen easily when you have a new business. I work on schoolwork when I have down time. Thank goodness for to-do lists and setting priorities. Balancing both work and school has really sharpened my time management skills.” As an entrepreneur, finding a business that is the right match and making it successful involves building the right team and navigating challenges. Liu says that the biggest challenge she faces as an entrepreneur is developing leaders from within the company. But she turns this challenge into a positive by helping others find and nurture their strengths so they can step up into a leadership role. “The reward is seeing people start believing that they can do more than they think they can,” she says. “There is also reward [as an entrepreneur] in that you hopefully become wiser and learn how to have fun while running a business.”

I believe they provide a unique experience for guys when getting a haircut. Sport Clips is a sports-themed environment where guys come in to watch sports while we cut their hair.” Although this is her first foray into the world of running a company, she did glean tips from her business owner dad. For Liu, managing a new business while hitting the books as a grad student required some strategic planning—and striving for the right work-life balance. “The joy of being a business owner is that every day is different.

which is unlike your typical resumewriting manual. “I went with a coloring-book style as I knew it had to be visual for this audience,” she says. “The young adult world is very visual and infotainmentoriented, which is reflected in the book.” How to write a winning resume is central to The Resume Coloring Book. So what’s the #1 mistake made when it comes to resumes? “The biggest single mistake is young adults don’t really understand what they are trying to do with the resume. They mistakenly think it’s about ‘listing activities’ rather than providing evidence of their capabilities,” says McLeod. “Resumes are used as a sorting hat by the employer. If they don’t customize their resume, employers are more likely to eliminate them from the hiring pool.”

to speaking engagements, creating a college hiring program for her former employer and assisting clients with job search strategies such as resume writing and networking through online sites such as LinkedIn. “The challenges young adults have coming out of school are that they don’t know what employers are looking for and don’t know how to create a value statement,” explains McLeod. “For young adults, it’s very hard for them to describe themselves to other people. They tend to list tasks. If you don’t tell the employer how you are going to add value they have a difficult time differentiating you from other candidates.” When it came time to share her knowledge with the masses— particularly other young adults looking to advance their careers—McLeod came up with the concept for the book,

She shares her tricks of the trade in The Resume Coloring Book, released earlier this year, that offers important tips and useful templates for building a resume and cover letter, along with how to prepare for an interview. Think of the cover letter as the “why” and the resume as the “what,” says McLeod, a graduate of SU’s Organization Systems Renewal program, who has built a post-corporate career helping others realize their potential and secure that dream job.

because of my career I can’t help but feel overwhelmed and grateful,” says Hungerford. “There are very few people in the world who truly love their jobs and I feel privileged to be one of them.” The healing power of music was an impetus for Hungerford to elevate her music career above social work. “The most rewarding part of what I do is to see how my music making helps others. People turn to music to help them pray, celebrate, relax and grieve and I love being part of that relationship,” says Hungerford. She shares a story about a monk who approached her following a performance after singing a Mass at the Basilica in D.C. The man lost his parents some 20 years ago and recently lost his twin brother. He shared with Hungerford how he hasn’t been able to grieve these losses. “He was sad, but just couldn’t get to a place where he could really grieve them,” she says. “He told me how the moment I started singing, tears came to his eyes for the first time since his parents passed away and he was finally able to cry for them and for his brother. That was the day I decided to leave social work and pursue a degree in music.”

job singing the weekday Masses, in addition to my duties as choir librarian and singing the weekend services as cantor and with the choir, I couldn’t refuse,” says Hungerford. “I left my social work job and began singing nearly full time. Once it became clear that a career in music was a real possibility for me, my ever-supportive husband encouraged me to pursue a degree in music.” In 2004, she was accepted into the Peabody Conservatory at John Hopkins and graduated with a degree in early music. These days Hungerford, who lives in London with her husband and two children, is known as an accomplished singer who has performed at some of the world’s most celebrated and sacred spaces. A few years ago she got to showcase her voice in a performance with 50 lutenists from England and Italy at a concert at Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy. The venue was built in the 16th century and one of only three Renaissance theaters that is still in existence. Another highlight was a performance at Hampton Court Palace in London. “When I think of all of the interesting and amazing opportunities I’ve had

70 70

It was the path she intended to pursue in higher education. At least, initially. “Had I thought a professional singing career was a real option for me I would have followed it but it seemed so far fetched,” she says. “I decided that studying something I found interesting, like social work, would allow me to support myself and I figured I could continue singing in my spare time.” With a soprano vocal range, Hungerford was a regular performer at Seattle’s St. James Cathedral. “I absolutely loved singing there,” recalls Hungerford, who performed with two choirs at St. James, was a cantor and sang the weekly Taize services. (Her very first performance as a vocalist goes way back: “My first public performance was ‘One Two Three, Jesus Loves Me’ as a kindergartner at the school talent show.”) At St. James she met her future husband Jason Hungerford, whom she moved east with to the other Washington while he went to law school at Georgetown. In D.C., she finished her social work degree internship with Catholic Charities before landing a job at an adoption agency. All the while she kept singing, most notably as a regular at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. “When the Basilica offered me a

• Be prepared. “Know your music inside and out and have all your music in order and pencil in hand.” • Eat well, drink lots of water and be well rested. • Be early: Hungerford’s motto is, “If you’re on time, you’re late!” “I find that rushing around raises my stress level. I would rather be two hours early for a gig than five minutes late. I’m much more relaxed that way.”

TIPS

in chemistry, microbiology or viticulture and enology. “A lot of successful people in the wine industry just go off experience. Learning about it in school is very helpful but hands-on experience is critical.” For research, or as she calls it “homework,” Fannin goes wine tasting at other local wineries. During the last harvest she made her own wine, a drystyle Riesling. “It was an adventure! I picked my own grapes, crushed and pressed, fermented and bottled all at home, which is hard to do when you are used to all the fancy equipment at work,” she says. “Some of my favorite wines are blends.” Fannin’s faves at Hogue: the Genesis Marsanne-RoussanneViognier blend and the Genesis Meritage. The best part of her job is the process behind it—not surprising considering her science-based background. “I love the ability to see fruit come in and leave as wine in a bottle. It’s so amazing to see the fruit transform in so many different ways. There isn’t one way to make wine, which makes it an art.”

70 70

While part of her job requires her to actually taste the finished wine, that’s not the bulk of her responsibilities. Before it ends up at a restaurant or on your dining room table she is at the forefront of the processing, in the lab making sure the finished product is a fine one. “Most of the time when people go wine tasting they just see the pretty tasting room, positioned in a beautiful vineyard,” she says. “I get to experience the entire winemaking process—literally

“There isn’t one way to make wine, which makes it an art.”

from grape to bottle. I get my hands dirty!” Now for the technical stuff: Daily, Fannin samples tanks and barrels to test for pH, alcohol and sugar content, carbon dioxide and more. For quality assurance she tests to ensure that no unwanted bacteria or yeast have made it into the bottled wine. During the peak of harvest season Fannin samples and runs Brix (aka sugar content) testing on nearly 150 tanks. Testing wine at this stage in the process is not as glamorous as it may seem—especially when it involves a smell test. It’s her job to flag any wines that may be a bit—or a lot—“off.” “In simplest terms, the sample smells stinky if the yeast in the fermenting wine is hungry,” she says. “If the yeast is hungry the wine gives off a sulfur-like odor. Yummy, right? Nothing like that rotten egg smell while tasting wine at 10 a.m.” How specialized is this field? According to Fannin, there are many diverse educational backgrounds in the industry, with many having degrees

30 30

It was all part of a class requirement. “I had to create a resume to apply for a lab job and I sent my resume to Hogue Cellars and got the internship,” she recalls. “What a great assignment!” That internship turned into a fulltime position as production lab tech specialist for the winemaker.

A standing-room-only crowd of lawyers, judges, students, alumni and others whose lives have been touched by Anita Crawford-Willis turned out to honor her at the Rainier Club earlier this year. The award is given annually by the Seattle University School of Law Women’s Law Caucus. “We are here today to honor a remarkable woman,” says Dean Annette Clark, ’89. “Anita is the quintessential servantleader.” Crawford-Willis, assistant chief judge for the Office of Administrative Hearings in Seattle, has been an active member of the legal community in King County for more than 25 years. Her spirit of public service, coupled with her commitment to inspire young people to pursue their scholastic dreams, makes her a highly sought-after mentor. “Judge Anita,” as she is affectionately called, is dedicated to enriching the lives of the students she meets. Many of them have gone on to successful careers and were in attendance at the event. Her dedication to mentoring comes from the caring, supportive women (and “a few good men,” she notes) who helped her along the way. “My heart is full of gratitude,” CrawfordWillis says. “Whenever I needed a hand, all I had to do was put my hand out and there was a hand waiting to pull me forward. Whenever I looked back, I grabbed the hand of someone else.” Crawford-Willis went on to name dozens who have helped her along with the way—lifelong friends, college and legal mentors, judges and other women who have provided guidance, support

she can’t remember. She struggles with not knowing what’s going on,” says Ann Hedreen, a Seattle writer and producer. Into the Storm provides a deeper understanding of the challenges the patient faces when transitioning into a position of being independent to relying on—and accepting—help from others. The book also succeeds by providing coping strategies and ways to manage stressful moments. A common theme among the narratives is the importance of understanding what is truly important in life, what brings the greatest joy and meaning. Many of the contributors share how spirituality helped them immensely as they navigated unchartered territory. “My overreaching assumption, then and now, was that the spiritual dimensions of caregiving would help to lighten the burdens of that role,” wrote Olivia Ames Hoblitzelle, a Boston based writer, therapist and teacher.

Into the Storm eloquently depicts the challenges, and the tender moments, between a person living with Alzheimer’s and a family member or friend who is serving as caregiver. The testimonials of the men and women included in the book illustrate the physical, emotional and financial burdens that come with the caregiver role. These stories are relatable to caregivers and others who are looking for shared experiences and a connection among a community of individuals who are going through what they and their loved ones are. Into the Storm not only outlines the challenges of the caregivers, but also provides insight into the struggles of the patients. “Many people fail to realize that you can have Alzheimer’s or dementia and be aware of the fact.

Immensely affected by his own personal journey as a caregiver, Collin Tong set out to provide a helpful guide to caregivers facing challenges all on their own in Into the Storm: Journeys with Alzheimer’s. Tong, a student of the Master of Pastoral Studies program (School of Theology and Ministry) and a Seattle-based journalist, edits this anthology that includes his own personal experience of caring for his late wife Linda, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 51. His story is among the nearly two dozen experiences shared by writers, journalists, educators, health practitioners, social workers, clergy and others from throughout the U.S. who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In addition to the deeply personal and deeply impactful stories, the book offers research tips and resources that are useful for caregivers and their loved ones. “In collecting these testimonies, it was my intent to present a multiplicity of indiv-
