Facebook—you’d be amazed at what you can accomplish. Hard work pays off.

“Females bring a different mindset to the classroom and workspace,” she says.

“The combination of men’s and women’s ideas makes for great engineering design.”

Collaboration was key for the Kenya project that engaged Pirbhai’s energies.

Students, faculty, professional engineers and electrical engineers from the U.S. and Kenya took part. They estimated that 1.5 billion people are without electricity today—800 million of those in Africa.

The goal was to bring clean, sustainable energy to the community of Muhuru Bay, Kenya, and Kristy’s Cape Academy, a primary school there that serves 300 students, many of them orphans of parents who died of HIV/AIDS. To light their studies, the project aimed to replace noxious kerosene lamps with battery-

continues her involvement with SWE on a professional level.

Pirbhai enjoys participating in panel discussions at schools where she can be a role model to persuade girls that they can indeed become engineers.

“You never know what can inspire someone. Most girls think math is hard because that’s what they have heard. But if you put effort into it, like you do with anything else, for example socializing— hanging out with friends or time spent on

“While in Zambia, in addition to performing all of the work required of her for the wind turbine project [for her senior project], she volunteered her time to help and engage with her hosts. For example, she taught a physics class in the local school. After she came back to Seattle, she was eager to share her experiences,” Miguel says.

While carrying a full class load, Pirbhai also volunteered with after-school STEM activities at Bailey Gatzert Elementary School. In June 2012, she took part in the Pacific Science Center’s first Science Expo Day at Seattle Center, where she helped curious kids make “squishy circuits” from Play-Doh to grasp basic principles of conducting electricity.

Additionally, she interned at Seattle City Light in the network engineering team that routed power underground for businesses in downtown Seattle.

All the while, Pirbhai didn’t lose sight of her global mission: Access to electricity for those without reliable power. She estimates she already has devoted more than 500 volunteer hours to Seattle U projects in this sphere since she graduated—meetings on weekends and every other week, most of her vacation time.

“I’m very passionate about giving back. Giving the essentials we take for granted is a rewarding experience that allows me to connect with a community while improving their quality of life,” she says. “It’s also an opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and put things in perspective.”

Miguel notes that Pirbhai was very active in the life of the college and the department. As an outreach coordinator in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) student club, she was involved in all projects and activities of the club. She

Ayesha Pirbhai, ’12, recalls the oppressive summer heat in Pakistan where she would visit her grandparents as a child.

“The electricity would stop and the air conditioning would shut off,” she recalls.

The culprit: Not enough power to cover the population’s needs.

It’s a vivid memory, one that begins to explain Pirbhai’s passion for finding ways to bring electricity to developing countries. Her experiences as an electrical engineering student at Seattle University sparked this fire. Even after she completed her degree and stepped into a dream job, she wasn’t willing to step back from a cause important to her.

There’s thoughtful simplicity in the words she chooses to describe her determination.

“I studied electrical engineering so I could bring light to those who have none,” says Pirbhai.

Her enthusiasm for her humanitarian work is impressive as is Pirbhai’s day job as an equipment manager at the Boeing Company, where she is responsible for designing power panels in the 787-10 development program.

Pirbhai’s interest in humanitarian engineering really heated up in 2010, when she transferred to Seattle U from Bellevue College.

sponsorship opportunities and allow streaming of messages from fans. While the focus is on the interior space, plans are in the works to add a Pavilion jutting from the front of the building and designed in a style similar to the façade of the Eisiminger Fitness Center, with glass panels that will promote various athletic programs through banner signs and lighting that will enrich the visitor experience and inspire pride.

“I think this will completely redefine how people perceive Connolly Center,” Guerra says.

While the pool area in the nearly 1,000-person capacity complex will remain the same, much of the interior will look decidedly different when the changes are complete, which is scheduled for early December. The end result—a balance of visual enhancements and functional elements. (During renovations women’s basketball home games will be at KeyArena at Seattle Center.)

The renovation includes seating and signage upgrades to the North Court, reorienting the basketball court with chairback seating on three sides of the court—creating a more intimate u-shape viewing experience—swapping the location of the men’s and women’s locker rooms, upgraded concession stands and visitor spaces. There also will be a new scoreboard that will enable additional

The facility, which opened in 1969, has undergone modest renovations over the years but nothing as significant as what’s happening now with a makeover for much of the interior space. It’s part of a bigger plan and more involved than just a fresh coat of paint and new lighting.

Called the “Commitment to Equity Renovation,” the capital improvement project is the final component of the university’s five-year gender equity plan for Athletics approved in 2011, which also included the redevelopment of Logan Field at SU Park, explains Eric Guerra, associate athletic director.

The Connolly Complex renovation specifically addresses Title IX requirements for intercollegiate athletics by enhancing the student-athlete and spectator experience.

The Connolly Center, home to Seattle U’s women’s basketball, volleyball, swimming and recreational sports, is getting a long overdue upgrade.

For nearly three decades, Killian Noe has lived in and led a number of intentional communities throughout the world. In 1985, she co-founded Samaritan Inns, an intensive, transitional and longer-term healing community for men and women recovering from homelessness and addiction.

Samaritan Inns has become a national model and has received scores of awards for excellence and innovation in supportive housing and treatment.

After nurturing Samaritan Inns for 15 years, Noe moved to Seattle in 1999 and co-founded the New Creation Community, an ecumenical faith community committed to contemplation and action and to addressing the widening gap between the world’s rich and poor.

In 1999, she founded and currently leads Recovery Café, a therapeutic community and school for men and women recovering from homelessness, addiction and other mental health challenges. Recovery Café provides ongoing support that begins where traditional treatment programs end. Ninety percent of its members report that Recovery Café has helped them maintain sobriety and has given them a deep sense of belonging.

Noe has received many awards and recognitions, including being honored as a distinguished alumna by Yale Divinity School in 1998 and Wake Forest in 2015. She is also an accomplished author, known for works including Finding Our Way Home: Addictions and Divine Love.

Noe is a member of Seattle University’s Board of Trustees and an adjunct professor in the School of Theology and Ministry.

Mark K. Shriver is president of Save the Children Action Network, where he leads an effort to mobilize Americans around two goals: ending preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths globally and ensuring that every child in the U.S. has access to high-quality early childhood education.

Shriver joined Save the Children in 2003, serving as vice president for U.S. programs until 2013. In that capacity, he created and oversaw the agency’s early childhood education, literacy, health and emergency preparedness and response programs in the United States. He also led a national coalition that convinced Congress to create the National Commission on Children and Disasters.

Previously, he started the innovative Choice Program for at-risk Maryland youth and served in the Maryland House of Delegates.

Jesuit-educated, Shriver attended high school at Georgetown Preparatory School and earned a bachelor’s degree from the College of Holy Cross. He received a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard.

Shriver has earned a number of awards for his commitment to the rights and well-being of children, including honorary doctorates from Wheelock College, his alma mater Holy Cross and Loyola College in Maryland.

Shriver’s late mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded Special Olympics and his late father R. Sargent Shriver created the Peace Corps and led President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Mark Shriver’s book, A Good Man: Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver, was published in 2013. He is currently writing a book on Pope Francis.

he impact and influence William J. Sullivan, S.J., had on Seattle University and the region as a whole are unparalleled.

During his 20-year presidency, he led the university to a new level of excellence, transformed the physical campus, strengthened its Catholic character and ecumenical commitment and brought unprecedented recognition to the school’s academic programs.

The university and community mourn the passing of President Emeritus Father Sullivan, who died June 16, 2015, at the Jesuit care center near Milwaukee, WI. He was 84.

When he arrived at Seattle University from the Midwest, Fr. Sullivan brought with him many distinctions. He was the first Catholic priest to earn a doctorate in religious studies from Yale University and was an established advocate for ecumenism, noteworthy when as dean of the School of Divinity at St. Louis University he admitted Lutheran seminaries into the school.

Taking the reins as SU’s president in 1976, Father Sullivan’s first order of business was to restore Seattle University’s financial stability. Over his two decades as president he put the university on solid ground and energized the university community with a sense of pride and purpose.

“I consider him the ‘Maker of the Modern Seattle University,” says President Stephen Sundborg, S.J. During Fr. Sullivan’s 20 years at the helm, Seattle University’s endowment grew 20-fold from $4.5 million to $90 million and enrollment increased 70 percent. He

launched the university’s first-ever capital campaign in 1982, which permanent home at Seattle University. So, in a very real sense, every client our students and alumni assist and every wrong they help put raised $26 million; a second campaign brought in $67 million.

Former SU Provost John Eshelman says all the legends about Fr. right is a tribute to Fr. Sullivan and his visionary leadership.”

As much a builder of programs as physical structures, Fr. Sullivan Sullivan are true.

“He really did turn the university around financially, starting with also helped shape Jesuit higher education for his times. He founded balancing the budget for the first time in several years and he did it the School of Theology and Ministry in 1996, and further enriched the university’s intellectual climate by initiating among other proin his first year as president,” Eshelman says.

In a 2009 interview, former SU trustee James Pigott remembered touring the campus with Fr. Sullivan in the early 1980s with other members of the university’s capital campaign committee. Standing in the basement of the Garrand Building—the institution’s birthplace— Pigott and others were struck by its disrepair. “It looked like the ceiling was about to cave in any minute.” As if it needed to be stated, their tour guide said, “We’ve gotta fix the physical structure of this university.”

Fr. Sullivan set about doing just that. Under his leadership, SU’s campus was rebuilt and revitalized. “In many ways, the campus still reflects his aesthetic,” says Eshelman.

Among other additions to the university’s landscape, he oversaw construction of the Chapel of St. Ignatius. Dedicated in 1997, the chapel is internationally regarded as both an architectural gem and an intimate space for worship and reflection. In 1995, Fr. Sullivan founded the Seattle University School of Law, which moved into its new home on the SU campus—Sullivan Hall—in 1999.

Law School Dean Annette Clark, ’89, says Fr. Sullivan holds a special place in the history of the law school and in the hearts of those who have taught, learned and worked there.

“Fr. Sullivan knew the importance of law in society and in the pursuit of social justice and he saw having a law school as vitally important to the mission of Seattle University,” says Clark. “His energy and initiative were the driving force behind the law school’s move from the auspices of the University of Puget Sound to our

Seattle sports scene and in international diplomatic efforts. Along with former media mogul Ted Turner, Walsh spearheaded the 1990 Goodwill Games. They asked Fr. Sullivan to chair the Seattle organizing committee for the summer-long games that involved 54 countries and 23 sports, arts and cultural events. President Jimmy Carter credited the 1990 Goodwill Games for its significant role in ending the Cold War. Fr. Sullivan also loved participating in sailing races, frequently with Ned Flohr, ’62. Flohr has a photo of them sailing near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. They were en route to Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, in the 1988 Pacific Cup Race, which took their crew of eight 10 days in Flohr’s 46-foot sailboat.

“He was a good crew and sailor on my boat,” Flohr remembers.

“We were catching fish all the way over and he loved eating them.

Tuna, mahi, one ohno—he liked them all.”

Was there anything Fr. Sullivan didn’t like? Whitford says he loved the arts, particularly theater, opera, ballet and movies.

Shortly after Emeritus Psychology Professor Steen Halling arrived in 1976, he recollects seeing the movie Rocky with Fr. Sullivan and Judy Sharpe, who was Residence Hall director at the time.

But the movie wasn’t as memorable as the conversation on the way there, he says.

“Along the way, we had a lively discussion about mythology and the extent to which animals can represent the human psyche,” says Halling. “I was delighted to find that the university president was not just a talented administrator but also a scholar deeply interested in understanding the human condition.”

Whitford, who today is director of development for the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Seattle/King County, says she learned much about fundraising from Fr. Sullivan.

“He used to call it ‘friend raising’, not fundraising. He had a way of taking complex things and simplifying them like that,” Whitford says. A highly esteemed and sought-out leader beyond SU’s campus, Fr. Sullivan was actively involved in the community and widely

100 100 60 100 100

grams the Sue Naef Scholars, the Bannan Scholars and, of course, his namesake, the Sullivan Scholars.

College of Nursing instructor Lindsay Leeder, ’02 MSN, ARNP, entered SU as a Sullivan Scholar in 1997 and had an opportunity to know Fr. Sullivan when she was a student. She later became director of the Sullivan Leadership Program.

“Fr. Sullivan’s spirit is still very much alive in the Sullivan Scholar community and we are all deeply grateful for his grace and wisdom,” says Leeder. “He understood that leadership born from authenticity and rooted in compassion is contagious. He was such a genuine man with a great sense of humor.”

Donna Whitford, ’04 MNL, Fr. Sullivan’s assistant for 12 years after he stepped down as president and became university chancellor, says he had an ability to laugh at himself, too. He liked to describe the time he officiated at a wedding and fell flat on his back during the ceremony.

Whitford fondly recalls how Fr. Sullivan took a real interest in family life and had an incredible heart. When one of her daughters struggled to find a date for the junior prom, he called Paul Fitterer, S.J., then at Seattle Prep, to see if there were any boys who might fit the bill. That didn’t quite work out, but Whitford never forgot his effort.

Fr. Sullivan was also known as an outdoorsman and as someone who loved sports.

Jim Whittaker, ’52, a legend among mountaineers as the first American to summit Mt. Everest, made several climbs with Fr. Sullivan. They reached 21,300 feet and Fr. Sullivan said Mass at base camp on the Chinese side of the mountain at 20,050 feet.

“Father Bill was a delightful companion and with the interpreters became a friend to the whole team. He gave a Mass there and commented, ‘I think it is probably the ‘highest’ Mass ever given,’” recalls Whittaker. “Who knows, that Mass might be the reason we made the climb and no one was killed or even got frostbite.”

Also on that Mt. Everest climb was Bob Walsh, a key figure in the

When he’d prepare for a speech or homily, Fr. Sullivan would simply jot down a few notes on a napkin, according to Donna Whitford. Luckily, many of his homilies were taped then later transcribed by Whitford. A collection of Fr.

honored for his contributions to the region.

Reflecting in 2009 on Fr. Sullivan’s outsize impact, longtime Associate Professor of History Dave Madsen, wrote: “Outside the downtown Nordstrom’s store you can see the footprints of Seattle’s civic leaders in the 1990s. Prominent among them are Father Sullivan’s. He was a Jesuit who earned an honored place in the Northwest for himself and the university he led.”

In 1981, Fr. Sullivan was given the distinguished Brotherhood Award presented by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, and in June 1983, received the Torch of Liberty Award from the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. In October 1986, Fr. Sullivan was named one of the 100 Most Effective Chief Executive Officers in higher education in a study funded by the Exxon Education Foundation. The Seattle Times named him one of the 20 most powerful community leaders in Seattle in 1987. In October 1992, he received the Alumni Merit Award from the College of Philosophy and Letters at Saint Louis University. Fr. Sullivan received the Archbishop Award from the Fulcrum Foundation and was inducted into the Junior Achievement Puget Sound Business Hall of Fame in 2008, honoring his business, civic and educational achievements.

A native of Prairie du Chien, Wis., Fr. Sullivan entered the Society of Jesus in 1948. He graduated summa cum laude from Saint Louis University and completed a master’s degree in philosophy. He pursued his theological studies in France and Germany and was ordained in France in 1961. A decade later he earned his PhD from Yale. A graduate of the Institute for Educational Management at Harvard Business School, Fr. Sullivan held faculty positions at Marquette University and Saint Louis University. From 1971 until 1975 he was the dean of Saint Louis University’s School of Divinity.

After stepping down as Seattle University president in 1996 and serving as university chancellor, he later became president emeritus before returning to his home province in Wisconsin in 2009.

John Evans, ’84, has advocated for those with disabilities since 1977, when he was 18 and a student at the Washington School for the Deaf in Vancouver, Wash.

That was the year the school sent him and several of his classmates to Berkeley to join a major protest demonstration over the lack of federal accessibility laws for people with disabilities—a first opportunity to leap into a national political issue with personal implications.

“I said then and there I wanted to make a difference in society by helping to remove the stigma and rampant discrimination faced by those of us living with a disability,” he says. “And that’s how I found my way to SU, where I was told that public administration and government was a good place to start. Here I am today, still chipping away at it.”

Even before he became a public administration student at Seattle University, Evans discovered an early ally in Kathy West, MPA ’85, already a communityminded advocate who worked at the Hearing, Speech & Deafness Center near campus and volunteered her time to support the deaf community.

partner who inspires and motivates me every day,” Kathy says.

The two have had opportunities to work together on countless local, state and national initiatives for most of their careers. One of these is a partnership with the Lowe’s home improvement chain, which hired more than 550 people with disabilities last year. Beth Butler, manager of employee relations in central services at Lowe’s, has great things to say about John and Kathy.

“If there was a ‘power couple’ in the disability employment industry, it would be John and Kathy. Their passion for serving the disability community coupled with their commitment to serving employers eager to build an inclusive work environment that is open to everyone is an unstoppable combination,” says Butler.

Among other national partners are Safeway, Microsoft, Starbucks and Nordstrom. Colleen Fukui-Sketchley, corporate diversity affairs director for Nordstrom, Inc., says, “Kathy and John have been valuable resources to us since the early ’90s. We are very fortunate to have partnered with them over the years on a number of programs and creating solutions that have helped us to better serve the needs of our diverse customers.”

In all, more than 2,000 Washington businesses hired those with significant disabilities last year, according to John.

John and Kathy help to create company cultures that respond to those with disabilities. Too often, Kathy says, society has taught people not to ask questions about disabilities.

They both agree Seattle U was the right fit and provided them with a solid foundation for career success.

In his studies at Seattle Central College, John became familiar with Seattle U. In fact, he and other deaf students lived on the seventh floor

compelling careers in vocational rehabilitation (VR).

Collectively, this couple has spent more than 70 years focused on their life's mission to be champions for disability issues and inspire others to join their quest. Evans retired in July as Washington's VR administrator in employer relations for the Department of Social and Health Services. Today, West-Evans is director of business relations for the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation, a national organization of chief administrators for public rehab agencies that serve those with physical, sensory and mental disabilities. The national VR program serves a million people with disabilities.

It was serendipity that John and Kathy found one another. When she was young, Kathy had hearing loss from repeated ear infections. She was labeled as having behavior problems in school until she had surgery to correct issues with her middle ear. As a result, though, Kathy developed a special interest in those who were deaf. That’s what led her not only to her career but also to a local deaf club meeting in the late 1970s.

“She showed up wanting to help our club raise funds for the deaf girls/boys baseball team,” John recalls. “Everyone was like, ‘What’s with this ‘hearing person’ wanting to raise money to help us deaf people? She must either be a new interpreter wanting to break into the community or she has lost her way.’ We soon learned that she was neither. She wanted to belong, to help and contribute to our efforts. I found that special. Thirty-seven years later and she hasn't changed a bit.”

They both have tremendous respect for each other’s drive and accomplishments.

“I am fortunate to have a life

Kathy collaborated with partners to develop an online Talent Acquisition Portal and was part of a team that helped craft new legislative language that defines VR’s role with business customers.

John led Washington state’s efforts to engage businesses and employers in hiring those with disabilities. This year he won one of Sen. Patty Murray’s coveted Golden Tennis Shoe awards, celebrating a select few of Washington state’s unsung community heroes who’ve accomplished something extraordinary in service to others.

John says he will continue to work in this field in some capacity going forward. His drive spills over into other activities as well. He especially likes to encourage independence among students with disabilities, which he does regularly at a youth leadership forum and a summer camp for deaf students.

The couple shares a vision and devotion that’s uncommon. They both have advanced the public VR system and promoted the integration, independence and employment of this segment of society.

“We love what we do for society and are each other's pillar of strength, support and determination,” John says.

of Campion Residence Hall while they attended community college nearby.

When he transferred to Seattle U, John thinks he may have been the university’s first deaf student. From a very early age, he wore strong hearing aids to help with his speech development while enhancing his communication skills with fluency in American Sign Language.

There were some rough spots, certainly. John arrived at the university in the era of the five-pound Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD), not the handheld text phone that today means effective and equal communication, he says. He could speak very well, yet communicating with fellow students was a lot more challenging.

“Seattle U provided an FM listening system, a transmitter worn by the instructor and a receiver worn by the student. This enhanced the clarity of communication and allowed me to control the volume while sitting in the front row of each class and lip-reading.

They also provided sign language interpreters and note takers.”

Pediatric audiology had been Kathy’s focus for undergraduate studies at the University of Washington. She worked for the Hearing, Speech and Deafness Center to explore her options before graduate school. That’s when she saw the impact of public policy and learned about the Master’s in Public Administration program at Seattle U. “Everything I learned I applied to what I did every day. The quality of the education, how personal it was and the emphasis on public service made it a great experience that I have used to impact policy through my work at the state and federal level,” she says.

Kathy now directs business relations for the membership organization of 80 public VR directors. She provides leadership and support to the National Employment Team (NET) of VR busi-

Yet when he was in Seattle last spring to give a speech on the realities of global warming, he dropped by the Fine Arts Building to visit “Doc”—what most everyone calls Joy Sherman, director of choral music—and Lee Peterson, assistant director and piano accompanist.

“Now there is music in everything that I do,” Adams told them.

Discipline and commitment, teamwork and performing live are all factors that make choir one of the most valued experiences that many like Adams say they gained from Seattle U. There’s more to it, though. Sherman and Peterson bring synergy and charisma to the experience.

They both had fathers who were pastors, which might explain how they developed the know-how and deep dedication for fostering an inspired choir.

“It’s a thrill to have somebody like Lee, somebody who actually comes from a similar faith context,” says Sherman.

“As we walk together for awhile, we try to help people uncover their best,” Peterson says. “Choir works with questions of meaning and a sense of knowing.”

It was the first week of classes in 1999 when Sherman heard Peterson tickling the ivories in a practice room on campus and moseyed inside.

“The next thing I knew, she was standing there saying,

100 40

To be

a member of Seattle University Choirs is to take part in a community experience like no other on campus.

Watching them perform gives you a sense of it.

Christmas and spring concerts at St. Joseph Church on Capitol Hill, Baccalaureate Mass at St. James Cathedral, even a rehearsal at the Campion Hall Chapel could call for a handkerchief.

President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., has fond recollections of being invited to listen at Campion when the choir rehearsed one of his favorite songs.

“They sat me in a chair in the middle of the chapel and they sang ‘A River in Judea’ and the river just flowed from my eyes,” says Father Sundborg. “I’ll tell you, it was the most beautiful thing just sitting there and having the whole choir there singing ‘A River in Judea’ and being the only person there to absorb it. It was phenomenal.”

Camaraderie and friendship are a central part of the choirs. Years—even decades—later, choir members describe how singing turned out to be central to their personal and professional formation.

Take Ian Adams, ’09, who today is the Western regional director of the R Street Institute, a nonprofit think tank in Washington, D.C. His job would appear to have no connection to the time he spent in the choral program.

University Chorale is the center of the choir program.

Chamber Singers is the group for singers who are more vocally and musically developed and want to devote more time to choral music in a smaller group.

Choir also welcomes faculty and staff. Among them, honored staff retiree Sue Hogan, most recently marketing and communications director for the School of Theology and Ministry, who looks back on singing in the choir for 17 years as a form of therapy.

“If you are in class or rehearsal or performing, you cannot think about any of the stuff that is worrying you,” she says, adding that she may have bowed out of choir in 2010, yet still hears from others who sang when she did.

Paulette Kidder, associate professor of philosophy, started singing with the choir just before Sherman started here.

“Every year I am privileged to see Joy Sherman take an unformed group of students and turn them into a dedicated, disciplined and inspired group of musicians,” Kidder says. “I never get tired of being part of that transformation.”

Audrey Hudgins, an instructor at Matteo Ricci College and an EdD student at SU, joined the choir in 2004.

“If choir is a joy, it’s because of Joy and her talented students,” Hudgins says. “Choir feeds my soul, sustains my spirit and has been like a family to me over the last

100 40

‘Hi, I’m Joy and I need an accompanist,’” Peterson recalls with a laugh.

Sherman credits former SU Provost John Eshelman for her own hiring 24 years ago.

“She understood that music could be fun and that it could contribute both to the education of music and fine arts majors and to a well-rounded education for students in any other major.

“She also understood the role the choirs play as an extracurricular activity, in addition to their academic roles, providing opportunities for growth and creating community among the participants,” says Eshelman.

When Sherman arrived, the choral program numbered about 35. These days, 95 to 130 singers participate.

Sherman shrugs and suggests there’s much “meant-to-beness” in what she does. Still, each year she sends out a letter with a return-mail postcard to all incoming students asking if they’d like to join any of the four one-credit choir courses— University Chorale, Women's Chorale, Men's Chorale and Chamber Singers. She receives about 50 postcards every year, yet following up with these and other candidates means she makes about 500 phone calls to offer auditions and discuss the importance of a full school-year commitment.

“Most choir members remain for the full four years.

Some remain and sing as alumni,” Sherman says.

among choir members and their section leaders. He earned his BA in interdisciplinary arts with an emphasis in music and plans to pursue graduate studies in music education at Western Oregon University in Monmouth at the start of 2016. He’ll be able to continue to assist with choir and band at O’Dea, study online and trek to Oregon for classes every other weekend.

“My primary goal is to become a high school choral director,” Chandler says. “But if I were to apply the art of conducting and directing a choir to the business world, it would not be difficult. Leading a choir is similar to leading any group. The director must provide guidance and expertise but allow the choir creative freedom and a voice for input.”

Sherman likes to paraphrase Gerard Schwarz, conductor laureate of the Seattle Symphony, when she says, “Most of what we conductors do has nothing to do with music.”

The structure of the choral program features a management team and eight section leaders for the four choir voices—two each for soprano, alto, tenor and bass.

A retreat for section leaders kicks off the school year to discuss mentoring, leadership skills and feedback.

Supporting students in their growth is an important role for Sherman and Peterson.

“The joy of facilitating and witnessing that growth is what keeps me here,” Sherman says. “When the voice grows, the person grows.”

“We build this sense of community and care of the person,” says Peterson. “After all, your voice is you. We have to be so careful in the nurturing of that.”

11 years I’ve worked at Seattle U. It’s a guarantee that I’ll get goosebumps during the processional at the Christmas concert each year and there have been moments at the spring concert [get this year’s concerts dates at seattleu. edu/magazine/] when I haven’t been able to sing because I’ve been overwhelmed by the beauty of the song and its heartfelt harmony.”

Sherman is an avowed talent scout. She once recruited a fellow she heard humming as he repaired a window outside her office. Her ear is always perked—ever ready to enlist new voices.

Hayden Chandler, ’15, was bolder than most, however.

He sought Sherman out when he toured campus before his freshman year, auditioned and was on board before fall registration.

“Being part of the SU choir community gives you a sense of place and purpose,” Chandler says. “The Jesuit education model of Seattle U emphasizes discernment and a vocation that enables you to become the best you can be and feel while also serving your community. Choir does just that.”

Within the first half of the school year, Chandler says he was hooked on choir’s artfulness, music theory, history and pedagogy. Clearly, this baritone wanted to do more than sing.

Soon, he emailed Seattle area high school music and choir directors in an effort to craft his own internship in conducting and directing. He interned at Garfield as a junior, then at O’Dea as a senior.

“The O’Dea choir is only five years old so I’ve been able to watch the program grow,” says the native of Silverton, Ore. At Seattle U, he served as student conductor, top dog

Where Are They Now? The list of choir alumni reads like a “who’s who”.

discipline. Classroom learning combines with a five-credit internship in a local arts organization to prepare graduates to run a business as a working artist or for a career at a museum or theater, according to Maifeld.

Classes in the arts include financial strategies, marketing, public policy and advocacy, law and fundraising. While the MFA trains students for upper level leadership in an arts organization, the undergraduate program helps students become leaders in their own art.

Roxy will be among those teaching in the program, with the Introduction to Arts Leadership course. Roxy’s ability to work with students eager to find careers in the many dimensions of the art world made her a natural choice to teach one of the first courses in the bachelor’s program, says Maifeld.

“This program makes arts leadership a more viable career choice for artists and changes opportunities,” she says.

“One component is that the program allows for the empowerment of women who you don’t often see enough of in director positions in arts organizations.”

director. Matt serves as executive director and his brother Josh is artistic director.

Roxy and Matt have kudos for Maifeld’s care for his students and the arts community.

“He helped us connect with other arts organizations so we could refine and articulate our mission, vision and values,” says Matt.

Meanwhile, Maifeld spotted a need to expand the notion of arts leadership to include an undergraduate program.

His thinking grew out of the popularity of Second Stage, educational offerings for professional dancers with the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Each quarter a Seattle U Core class is taught right where the dancers rehearse and perform at Seattle Center.

“They take Core courses, but there’s been no degree to work toward,” Maifeld says, “and what it came down to was a need for an arts management undergraduate program.”

And so was born the new bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary arts with a specialization in arts leadership. The new program launched this fall and is aimed at students who want to create, manage or administer activities within a specific arts

“We were like Bon Jovi,” says Matt. “‘Livin’ on a Prayer.’”

They both found work at Seattle Central College, him teaching sociology and Roxy, tech writing.

Well before they came to Seattle University, the couple wanted to create a distinctive arts group to reflect their belief that meaningful art can change the world.

It was their burgeoning ideas of social mindedness that drew them to Seattle U’s MFA in Arts Leadership.

“The description of the MFA in Arts Leadership program illuminated itself off the page,” says Matt.

So Roxy and Matt learned in tandem how to knit themselves together, as Matt describes, under the canopy of arts leadership. They were the first married couple ever to complete the MFA in Arts Leadership together, says Kevin Maifeld, who directs the program.

“Shaping the identity of our arts organization is something Matt and I did together during the program,” Roxy says.

“We wanted to start an organization and immediately be able to apply what we were learning.”

That’s how they gave birth to quiet (with an intentional lowercase q) to harness art and spark dialogue. It’s an ambitious nonprofit organization that focuses on social change by bringing together the arts with community groups.

“We produced more than 60 projects each year for three years. We wanted to explore many media—theater and literary arts, in particular—so we could see how expectations, structure and norms were different,” says Roxy, quiet’s managing

powered home lighting kits. This called for a microgrid of solar panels, battery kits and wind turbines to provide some of the power needed to operate a community charging station.

Pirbhai took part in the assessment trip to Kenya to evaluate companies there that might be able to provide microgrid installation.

In the 10 days she spent in Kenya, her team assessed the land in Muhuru Bay and conducted surveys on how people there use electricity, how much they spend on it, along with many other questions. The information gathered from this trip helped finalize the microgrid design, the business models and the training material needed to spread awareness about the battery kits and charging station.

The microgrid team’s efforts won the prestigious $25,000 grand prize in 2014 for the Seattle U Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

The award celebrates engineering programs that bring students and professional engineers together to work on collaborative projects. One of the jury members for the award noted, “A first-world solution to a third-world problem—but it has applicability domestically as well as abroad.”

This fuels Pirbhai’s eagerness to continue her volunteer efforts.

“I do believe it’s my responsibility as a global citizen to give back, both locally and regionally. I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity,” she says. “Knowing how to do this from the ground up is a great experience. My ultimate goal is to implement community microgrids in other developing countries and in Asia as well.”

for an austere lifestyle amid the sickk and destitute. She gained a reputation for being able to read souls, spent hours rs in meditation and in prayer would so o “intensely imagine the earthly Jesuss as being present that she reported experiencing his presence physically.” y.”

When it became apparent that Marie was dying—possibly due to her long fasts—she moved between experiencing raptures, praying and sharing her teachings. For the Beguines, ministry was as importantt as attendance at prayer, which was considered a radical idea in the medieval times.

While the last Beguine, Marcelle Pattyn, died in Bruges, Belgium, in 2013, the group’s legacy lives on.

Certain orders of Catholic sisters had their foundation in Beguine communities. Their ministry impacted education and health care. And their intellectual endeavors influenced the theology and lifestyles of preachers.

In many ways, writes Swan, the medieval world is not so different from our own.

“With near perfect pitch, medieval Beguines are echoing my aspirations for contemporary society. I am convinced that the Beguines have much to say to our world today. They invite us to listen to their voices, to seek out their wisdom, to discover them anew.”

As Laura Swan, a 1991 graduate of the School of Theology and Ministry, points out in Wisdom of the Beguines: The Forgotten Story of a Medieval Women’s Movement, there were several common denominators.

Beguines preached and taught of a loving God who desired a relationship with individuals. They were committed to the poor and marginalized and possessed unusual business acumen.

The Beguine movement was never a religious order or a formalized movement.

The catalyst for the informal communities, writes Swan, was a “shared passion for independence, an intense spiritual life and for ministry.”

They used their business savvy to establish and support ministries that provided help to the poor in the form of education, health care and social services.

Beguines persevered through wars, plague, natural disasters and oppression, helping others through periods of great transition and reform. Women of all upbringings were welcomed into Beguine communities, or Beguinages, which could consist of single houses for a handful of Beguines or walledin rows of houses where more than a 1,000 Beguines might dwell.

Swan inserts short biographies about individual Beguines throughout the text, which helps paint a vivid picture about their compassion and spirituality. For example, Marie of Oignies—sometimes referred to as the first Beguine—was born to wealthy parents, but rejected her upper class roots

70 70

The lay spiritual movement known as the Beguines began in the medieval period.

Forming in various parts of Europe more than 800 years ago, Beguines was a collective of women devoted to religious life. They came from all walks of life, ranging in age from teenagers to nonagenarians.
