Janice Murphy of SU's Grounds and Landscaping Department says the university is a veritable haven for a variety of birds, from the common robin (pictured) to the extremely rare Northern Saw-whet Owl. She credits the grounds and plentiful gardens, which provide the elements for good bird habitat. Best places for bird watching: Union Green, the Ethnobotanical garden and behind the Loyola and Administration buildings.

Former Capt. William D. Swenson, a 2001 Seattle University political science graduate, received the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony on Oct. 15. The SU alumnus received the medal for risking his life above and beyond the call of duty during a 2009 battle with Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan. He is the first Army officer since the Vietnam War to receive the nation's highest award for valor and joins just six other living recipients of this medal. One of those six is (Ret.) Major Gen. Patrick H. Brady, a 1959 SU graduate and Board of Regent Emeritus.

than most girls; she competes in the 125 lbs. weight class, but walks around, a commonly used phrase for “everyday weight,” at 130 lbs. The pressure is high for women boxers, who only have three weight classes—none of which Hamann is currently fighting in. Adding another degree of difficulty—she will need to move up to 132 lbs. by 2016. “I fight at 125 [pounds] for a reason. My body and boxing are at their best at this weight class,” says Hamann. “When people make weight, it’s an awesome accomplishment. There’s two wins in boxing: making weight and then the fight.” As part of her training, Hamann will participate in future USA Boxing National events and training camps at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., where her parents live and Hamann attended high school. Hamann’s training regimen is well crafted and intense. She spends at least four hours a day at the gym, with her time split into a pair of two-hour blocks where she’ll work on anything from shadow boxing and heavy bag punching to aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. The majority of her time is at her home gym, Arcaro Boxing Gym. Occasionally she spars at Azteca Boxing Gym in Renton, where she can spar with male fighters that she matches up with size-wise. In the evenings, she blogs as a way to JENNIFER HAMANN, ’09 escape the daily rigors of training and to share her journey in boxing.

picked it up,” says Hamann, who also ran track her senior year. Flash forward a few years and Hamann is razor-sharp focused on the task ahead. With her coach Tricia Turton, Hamann is training hard while balancing graduate school. Turton is a former boxer and is working with Hamann on what she calls “discomfort training,” which can range from non-physical skills like public speaking to breaking down boxing techniques that the fighter can improve on. “I practice other forms of discomfort in my everyday life so that I get more comfortable being uncomfortable in front of others,”Hamann says. “I like to remember that Muhammad Ali would always practice things he wasn’t good at during media workouts and people would question his ability before fights. …He spent a lot of time being uncomfortable so that he could be

“I remember being so mad that I only got 15 seconds of fight time for all that training,” says Hamann. “But I was hooked.” Countless rounds and wins later—her record is 27-2—Hamann, a 2009 alum and current graduate student in the College of Arts and Sciences master’s program in Psychology in Existential-Phenomenological Therapeutic Counseling, is now vying to make it to the Olympics. And not just make it, but medal. “I want to be a great boxer, not merely an Olympic hopeful,” she says. And she’s inching her way closer to realizing this goal, coming off a dominant performance at the Women’s 2013 USA Boxing National Championship in Spokane this past spring. She brought home the national title. To qualify for the Olympic trials, she has to hold her position throughout the year of the Olympics, set for 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In 2009, when boxer Jennifer Hamann first stepped in the ring for a fight at a high school in White Center, her opponent came out swinging. She ducked to the left and threw a 1-2. Although she was victorious in this initial bout—a nearly flawless effort, a technical knockout—Hamann wasn’t wholly satisfied with her performance.

song,” she says. “[The video] was a very large and dynamic project and through the creative process we became very close. The collaboration solidified the bond for all of us.” When it came time to write material for Macklemore’s debut full-length recording, The Heist, the artist once again called on his friend when he needed a reliable—and more importantly, inspiring—writing partner. “Without Hollis, our creative output the last couple of years wouldn’t be what it has turned into,” Haggerty wrote on a recent blog post on his website. “She’s the kind of person that when I’m spending time with her, she makes me better at my job.” On the success of her collaboration with Haggerty, Lewis and other artists, Wong-Wear says, “We all kind of have the same scrappy approach to making art and making things meaningful to us.” An example of this DIY-approach: the making of the video for “White Walls.” Wong-Wear was in front of the camera and behind the scenes over several

part of a writing circle,” she says. She performed in various slam competitions, which landed her on many local stages and a slot at a national competition with the Seattle Slam team. With Canary Sing, Wong-Wear exhibited her abilities as a lyricist with depth, not content with spitting out rhymes void of meaning. Rather, the group, as Wong-Wear describes, was about strong lyricism, political awareness and youth empowerment. By way of Canary Sing and her rising presence among Seattle’s music and art circles—she has been involved with One Reel and served on the Bumbershoot board—Wong-Wear met more singersongwriters and rap and hip-hop artists. Through her associations she came to know Ben Haggerty, aka Macklemore. In 2008, her group opened for him at Seattle nightclub Chop Suey. They became friends through shared commonalities when it came to how they control their art. Rather than aspiring to sign to a major label or compromise artistic integrity, they are

If you aren’t familiar with Wong-Wear’s music through her group The Flavr Blue or her ability to turn a phrase in a piece of poetry and amp up the impact via the delivery, you may know her from her collaboration with one of Seattle’s most popular and chart-topping acts of the moment: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. The homegrown hip-hop duo that made popping tags at the “Thrift Shop” a part of popular culture have Wong-Wear to thank, in large part, for the song’s fun and slightly kitschy music video, which she produced. That infectiously catchy hook on “White Walls,” Macklemore’s recent single, was penned by Wong-Wear and elevated by her vocals. Wong-Wear may rub elbows with veritable artists and tastemakers—she being one—but she remains as humble as can be. In addition to her work with Macklemore, she has carved out a nice music career of her own as a member of synth-pop trio The Flavr Blue. Others know her for her work as operations director for local hip-hop duo the Blue Scholars. Before all of this she was lighting up stages with rhymes as one-half of the rap-infused Canary Sing. She started Canary Sing in 2006, while a student at SU, with friend Madeleine Clifford. The 26-year-old Seattleite, by way of California, is a 2009 SU graduate and Sullivan Scholar. A University Honors Program student, Wong-Wear was drawn to the university’s location, academic offerings and small class sizes. “I thought Seattle was a really rad, creative city,” says Wong-Wear, who majored in history and minored in philosophy and Global African Studies. “I really saw myself here.” At SU, she quickly became known for her writing (she was a featured student diarist, who documented her experiences

“One night my Magis small group celebrated Festa Junina with others staying in São Paulo. Some of the group left the party early to relax in the chapel nearby. After hours of dancing with my new friends I, now exhausted, went to find my group. When I found them I was greeted with the gleeful smile of my usually reserved new friend Marie. Together we stayed there until the party was done. The next day Marie told me that my coming to find them had made her night, it had felt like we were all family.” Student An Le shared how her relationship with her sister improved because of the pilgrimage. “My sister and I both went on the trip and there was not only a personal transformation, but also a change in our relationship. We have different types of conversations. There's a different tone when we are discussing religion and spirituality.” After the 10 days of MAG+S, the various experience groups reconvened in Rio for World Youth Day celebrations with Pope Francis and the final Mass on Copacabana beach. In his homily Pope Francis asked, “What is the Lord saying to us?“ Three simple ideas: Go, do not be afraid and serve. He said, “… Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent. The Lord seeks all; he wants everyone to feel the warmth of his mercy and his love.” I believe we will be reaping the fruit of this pilgrimage for years to come. It is a wondrous thing that in such a large gathering of people, we can experience very personal encounters and transformations. Matthew Pyrc, S.J., is a campus minister in SU Campus Ministry.

Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., General Superior of the Jesuits, preached at a Mass before sending the delegates into experience groups for an immersion. In his homily he told the story of a Diocese choosing a giraffe as its symbol—an animal with one of the biggest hearts because it needs a big heart to pump blood all the way to its brain. Because of its long neck it has a high point of view. He also spoke of humanity. “Humanity is more than any one of us has experienced in our own Matthew Pyrc, S.J., and Maria Ochoa, SU delegation group leaders, in front of Corcovado Christ the Redeemer in Rio. countries,” he stated.

“Because I wanted to," he says. “No light came on, I did not have a vision. It was just a feeling that I was doing something that will make a difference for good in this world.” It was about six years ago that Bleese first became involved with the School of Theology and Ministry by way of an introduction by his former pastor at First United Methodist Church, David Aasen. Realizing the importance of the school, “I started to make monetary contributions and gradually got deeper and deeper with my involvement,” he says. “I strongly believe [the school] is a very worthy organization, one that we certainly need in the community, so I decided I would help them as much as I am able." Understated as he is about the gift, Bleese's impact will surely be felt. The endowment will generate $45,000 annually to be split between the Verle Bleese Dean's Scholars' Fund and the Verle Bleese Dean's Faculty Development Fund. He is leaving it up to Dean Mark Markuly to decide how to use his bequest. “Verle has given a profoundly generous gift to the School of Theology and Ministry,” says Markuly. “We are humbled and moved deeply by his thoughtfulness. His gift will allow the school to support ministry students in their educational costs. But it will

as whether displacing the culture of a Puerto Rican neighborhood was good or bad for New York City when Lincoln Center became its replacement. During a recent class discussion, Lieb asked her students if they agreed with an assessment by historian Robert Fogelson in his book, Downtown: Its Rise and Fall: “To many Americans, downtown…is neither inevitable nor desirable. Rather it is obsolete, a late 19th-century creation that has no role in the late 20th.” Students argued that a downtown area in the early 21st century still has elements that distinguish it. Among those factors: Skyscrapers, distinctive architecture, tourists, public transportation, shopping, population density, crime, social services and public spaces. Yet a downtown experience is typically one you come from elsewhere to absorb and frequently has nothing to do with living there, Lieb says. Then she offered the next big question: Is it livable? “You have to drive to get groceries or gas,” said one student. “Downtown today is more nostalgic,” offered another. One class member remarked on the diversity of people in a downtown area. “That’s what’s important,” he said. “All the people you see when you go downtown.”

“It’s really a very Jesuit notion to think about how you’re experiencing your own learning,” says Assistant Professor Lieb. She retooled what was originally a Matteo Ricci urban policy course into a Core offering that gives students a better opportunity to follow their passions. Instead of a final exam, students now give presentations that involve identifying a contemporary urban problem, examining how it was expressed in the past and posing a solution. The course is designed to help students develop skills and analytical tools to think critically and creatively about urban problems on a national and international scale, according to Lieb. As they make use of historical sources and methods, they’re better able to create smart arguments to address global challenges. The course also examines livability in other parts of the world and addresses thorny questions such as growth and development. For the local perspective, Lieb takes students on walking tours of Volunteer Park, Seattle Center, Yesler Terrace, the Pike Place Market and the surrounding Seattle University neighborhood. Select students lead class discussions based on reading about the history of everything from shopping malls and movie theaters to the suburbs and urban renewal. They might address such topics

Jumping from theory and intellectual exercise to how one actually lives in the world can be a challenge. Yet thinking of themselves as part of a living landscape is what lures many students to Emily Lieb’s Core course, The Livable City.

to cover every possible topic” he says. “To depict concepts easily and, logically, you have to teach students not just the subject and rote memorization, but also how to communicate with someone who doesn’t know about the subject.” Green says he and other Albers faculty changed their approach to teaching to improve the way students grasped the central concepts and to ensure that when they leave the classroom and the university they are well equipped professionally. Students learn more than just stats and data; it’s how they can use the stats and data in problem solving and in the dayto-day that sets them apart. “My epiphany: bad research papers come from bad assignments,” says Green. To make good assignments, “We look at current issues being discussed in the news, such as targeting government spending to spur economic growth, energy pricing and tax policy, not just problems from a textbook that don’t seem real.” The goal is to raise students’ interest and curiosity, which leads to their personal and professional growth, adds Green.

says Green, who has been with Albers since 2000, when he started as a visiting professor. This dedication to assessment shows in the consistently high rankings across many Albers programs. So what’s this business about macroeconomics and how does it differ from microeconomics? First, Green likes to point out that both programs in microand macroeconomics have been ranked in the top 25 since Bloomberg began the specialty rankings in 2010. Most are likely familiar with macroeconomics, which looks at economics on a large scale. However, most actually use microeconomics, which looks at individual, business and industry-level economic issues. For example, a macroeconomist would look at the impact of rising energy prices based on a national or global scale; a microeconomist examines the impact at a local, regional or industry level. In his classes Green creates assignments built around real issues business owners may face, with students tasked to devise solutions. “Our goal is to have students understand what is taught deeper, rather than

“Research is formalized curiosity,” a quote by writer Zora Neale Hurston, is tacked to the door outside the office of Gareth Green of the Albers School of Business and Economics. When asked about the quote, Gareth says, “research is learning and learning is fueled by curiosity, which I think is a critical trait to nurture in students.” Makes sense, since Associate Professor Green happens to chair the economics department that oversees a program with national acclaim. In June, Bloomberg BusinessWeek named Albers’ macroeconomics program #1 in the country. The ranking, notes Green, reflects the commitment of economics and Albers as a whole in the design of its programs, relevant applications and opportunities for student engagement with employers and members of the business community. Additionally, such rankings can serve as an assessment of how students grasp concepts and how what happens in the classroom takes hold in the real world. “We put a lot of effort in our assessment, how you determine if students are learning what you are teaching,”

SU’s men traveled across town for the second round matchup with the University of Washington on Nov. 24. The men lost to UW 4-2 but held them scoreless through the first 28 minutes of a hard fought match. "This … is what you want out of a collegiate soccer game between crosstown rivals," says Fewing. "I'm proud of our guys for never giving up. The Huskies are a very good team and it's fun to play in a game like this."

Seattle University men’s soccer (11-8-4) found themselves down early but recorded their second straight come-from-behind win, fifth of the season, to top Creighton, 2-1, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Nov. 21. This historic win marked the first SU win in an NCAA Division I Tournament since March 14, 1964, when SU men’s basketball defeated Utah State, 88-78. The win also snapped a two-year streak for Creighton in which they advanced to the Final Four and extended a 12-game unbeaten streak for SU. “I’m thrilled,” said WAC Coach of the Year Pete Fewing. “Creighton is a fantastic team. They’ve been to the Final Four two years in a row so to come here and play a team with that kind of history and our [Division I] history, which is just starting, is a big thrill. I’m proud of the team because it’s not easy to come into this kind of situation and get this result, so we’re happy for our guys.”

They entered the match with a 15-game winning streak during which they allowed just five goals dating back to Sept. 20. The performance of the players off the field is as impressive as their prowess in competition. Women’s soccer earned the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Team Academic Award for the 2012–13 academic year. This is the third consecutive year they have earned this national award. “I believe their commitment to academics sets a great foundation for what we want to achieve on the field,” says Coach Woodward. “Our team was extremely committed and disciplined and I am so impressed with each and every individual and how hard they work to represent our program.” The team combined for a 3.35 grade point average in 2012-13, one of 593 women’s soccer programs across all division throughout the country to earn this award for posting a team GPA of 3.0 or higher.

The team as also the regular season WAC champs. Says 2013 WAC Coach of the Year Julie Woodward, “I’m really proud of my team and everything they’ve done this year.” With the win, women’s soccer became SU’s first overall team to qualify for the NCAA tournament since reclassifying back to Division I and SU’s first ever women’s soccer team to advance to the NCAA Tournament. Extending their current winning streak to 15 games, the win against Kansas City marked the Redhawks’ 11th shutout of 2013. Players Julie Besagno and Stephanie Verdoia were named to the all-star tournament team and Monique Escalera was named tournament MVP.

“The Youth Initiative represents what I believe will be one of the most significant efforts in the history of our university and expands on the mission of a Jesuit Catholic university,” Father Sundborg says. Since its official launch in early 2011, the Youth Initiative has been lauded as visionary, collaborative and empowering for this Central District neighborhood. In 2011–12, Gatzert Elementary had the highest academic growth rate of any school in Seattle, a testament to the initiative’s impact. The idea for the initiative began when a member of SU’s Board of Trustees spoke with and inspired President Sundborg to develop an action plan to improve possibilities and outcomes for underserved children in public schools. That was 2007. The hope was that it would expand and deepen campus engagement in the neighborhood. Start small, build a shared vision with the community and plan measurable objectives. That’s how Kent Koth, the Youth Initiative’s driving force, framed its development between 2008 and 2010. Koth, the even-keeled and downto-earth pragmatist who leads both the Seattle University Youth Initiative and SU’s Center for Service and Community Engagement, knew he didn’t want this to grow too big too fast. There were compelling reasons to start with the neighborhood a few blocks south of SU. At Gatzert, 94 percent of students receive subsidized lunches, the highest percentage in the Seattle School District and an indicator that families here are at or near poverty level. For many, English isn’t their first language, which can intensify learning and parenting challenges. At Gatzert alone, 30 different languages and 71 dialects are spoken by students and their

Meghan Kennedy, ’15, did a heap of research on colleges as a high school student in Sacramento, Calif. She knew she wanted a Jesuit education, yet when she checked out websites to see how each university stacked up, SU was the clear frontrunner. Kennedy was particularly inspired by the Center for Service and Community Engagement and the Youth Initiative, which was just starting to take shape at the time. “Seattle University was the standout, not just for its mission but for having a well thought out program in the Youth Initiative to carry out that mission,” says Kennedy. Rachel Williams, ’15, from Reno, Nev., says she, too, was drawn to SU because of the Youth Initiative—now in its third year—a long-term commitment to create a pipeline of support for neighborhood children and their families. Says Williams, “After seeing so many schools boast about new gyms, popular sports teams and acceptance rates, seeing a school that was bragging about a welldesigned, student-powered plan to make good on the promise of social justice and service made me think hard about SU.” This is the university’s largest-ever community engagement project focused on improving academic achievement for youth in the square-mile neighborhood that includes Bailey Gatzert Elementary School. Gatzert is the first focal point of the Youth Initiative, which also encompasses Washington Middle School and Garfield High School. Those who shape and propel the Youth Initiative underscore that it’s a fitting reflection of the university’s Jesuit values and mission. Just ask President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., what excites him most about his presidency in this decade. Without hesitation, he’ll say the Youth Initiative.

scores is one sign of the achievements these collaborations accomplish. As part of the initiative, SU’s Redhawk Academic Mentors offer one-on-one tutoring and learning support to sixth graders at Washington Middle School, where Principal Jon Halfaker says SU students serve as role models. “College students can have a huge impact on middle schoolers. And getting our students to college is one of our goals, not just here but district-wide,” says Halfaker. “To make that happen, our students need to be able to see what that looks like.” SU students who participate in service learning also find many rewards. Chris Caculitan, ’13, himself a graduate of Washington Middle School, coordinates the Redhawk mentors there. He’s quick to say it was service learning at SU that opened his mind to new ways to develop and make use of his leadership skills. Current student Kennedy suggests service learning enriches one’s spirituality. “SU taps into how college students today want to experience spirituality. With the Youth Initiative, SU does that in a very progressive way,” she says. Faculty members play a vital role in the development and progress of the Youth Initiative. With the new Core curriculum, a goal of enriching and expanding service learning is beginning to draw more faculty to add service components and connect their course

families. Neighborhood residents are 43 percent white, 25 percent Asian or Asian American, 22 percent African or African American and 10 percent Latino. Greg Imel, Gatzert’s principal, points to the Youth Initiative’s influence and impact within just a couple of years. “In a very short period of time, Gatzert Elementary School’s staff and children have been able to experience the benefits of having coordinated efforts from students, staff and programs of Seattle University’s Youth Initiative,” Imel says. “We continue to be excited about the collective impact we will have on the lives of the children and their families through our stellar partnerships.” Proof points of the initiative’s success already are evident. For instance, SU, in collaboration with five local nonprofits, extended the school day at Gatzert by two hours for 180 students. That’s almost 20 percent more time per student per year. The fact that an after-school science program for fifth graders has had a positive impact on science test

engagement. High-level delegations from universities in the U.S. and around the world—20 and counting—have clamored to know more and look to SU’s initiative as a successful prototype. The notion of SU as a community-based university with a mission not detached from its own neighborhood is what captivates the imagination of Michael McCarthy, S.J., a current member of SU’s Board of Trustees. Father McCarthy is among numerous leaders from universities—including Pacific Lutheran, Ohio State, University of San Francisco, Santa Clara and others as far flung as England, Germany, Canada, China and Nicaragua—who see merit in creating similar initiatives. He says he shares insights gained from SU with Santa Clara, where he is both Edmund Campion University Professor and executive director of the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education. “I developed a strategic plan that included a priority engaging a neighbor whose inspiration was what I saw SU

doing. We are calling this the Thriving Neighbors Initiative and are in the process of looking for a place where we can have a center of engagement called Comunidad Arrupe,” Father McCarthy says. In Tacoma, Pacific Lutheran University’s long-range planning committee sees PLU’s role and connection in the local community as a cornerstone to PLU’s future. According to Joel Zylstra, PLU’s director of community engagement and service, his university is especially interested in how SU approached the development of the Youth Initiative. “Seattle University is on to something big,” says Zylstra. “The Youth Initiative underscores the original role of higher education in America as the university informs and is informed by the concerns and opportunities of society.” The Youth Initiative continues to collect prestigious awards and recognitions as well. In 2012 and again last year, the White House honored SU with presidential accolades for community service, calling out the initiative’s long-term commitment to build a better future for young people starting with pre-kindergarten and continuing through college. For both 2013 and 2014, U.S. News and World Report ranked SU a leader for service learning. Washington Monthly, in its 2013 College Guide, assesses how well universities serve their communities and the country and ranked SU in the top 10 among master’s universities on a national scale. What is it about this commitment to Seattle youth and families that is so compelling? The answers are in the

Over the summer, at-risk youth typically lose two months or more of knowledge than what’s retained by middle or higher income children, according to Cicily Nordness, an SU alumna who directs youth services for Catholic Community Services, the largest social service organization in Washington. “Reading loss, especially, is really high. So we continue to enhance our summer programming to target this area,” says Nordness, who earned her Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership in 2009. Summer programming has doubled the number of hours and the number of children served in the past year. Organizations that play roles in the Youth Initiative draw on each other’s strengths and fill gaps rather than just provide more services, according to Nordness. “We strengthen our shared vision, which allows us to have more individuals to plug into this in exciting ways we haven’t even imagined yet,” she says. Today, Koth is pleased with the growth and successes of the Youth Initiative. “We are seeing very positive results,” Koth says, “but there is much more to be done. In the next few years we will continue to expand our academic and co-curricular

dedicated participants, be they third graders at Gatzert who boldly call themselves “The Incredibles” or a tutor from SU who listens well and energizes students. Julie Thornton, a single mom whose daughter Aidyn has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, can’t say enough about how the Youth Initiative’s after-school programs at Gatzert make a difference in Aidyn’s self-esteem and her focus. “She’s always treated with respect and a strong set of consistent boundaries. With that routine and structure, it’s up to her to do what’s required of her. Her tutor really understood her and the way her brain moved,” says Thornton, adding that the lack of homework meltdowns has improved the quality of their home life immeasurably. Parents aren’t always aware of some of the challenges facing child educators. Summer learning programs, for example, are essential to a young person’s academic and social development. In 2013, SU partnered with eight local organizations to involve nearly 300 neighborhood children and youth in summer learning, including kindergarten orientation, reading and math skills, middle school and high school transitions, media arts and college readiness.

We will particularly focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, summer learning and support for families, nonprofits and small businesses that are the fabric of the neighborhood.” You know Koth takes pride in how the initiative continues to flourish when he describes one of his favorite ways to find inspiration. He’ll hop on his bike, breeze the few blocks south from his office to Gatzert Elementary and drop in on an SU student who’s tutoring a kindergartner. He’ll recall how his own career began—as a tutor. He’ll think of his family and how the opportunities of his children contrast with those of Gatzert students. Then he’ll smile when he realizes it’s quite late in the afternoon, yet the pair in front of him remains resilient, energetic and completely tuned in to learning as a way to achieve success in life. “That’s the real magic,” Koth says.

“I just want to see these kids do well, develop a strong sense of self-worth and be better equipped to face the challenges that surely will be in their future.”
When it comes to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, Seattle University’s Frank Shih, associate professor of mechanical engineering, ignites students’ passions. The students might be Bannan Scholars, whose academic achievement in STEM and commitment to service qualifies them for these prestigious scholarships. Or they could be fifth graders at Bailey Gatzert Elementary School. Better yet, Shih had the idea to bring together the two with successful results. Those who lead the Seattle University Youth Initiative say one of its clearest gains is in fifth grade science at Gatzert. The way SUYI Director Kent Koth sees it, “This relates directly to Frank Shih’s work... and also to SU’s involvement in areas of math, reading, computer literacy—all elements that contribute to a mastery of science.” Koth shares the Measurements of Student Progress test results. Science scores among Gatzert fifth graders continue to rise from 10.4 percent passing in 2010–11 to 30.8 percent passing in 2011– 12 to 55.4 percent passing in 2012–13. The fact that Gatzert proficiency in science had been poor—the lowest in the Seattle School District—was a major motivating factor for Shih to develop a strong science curriculum. “It’s perfect for us,” says Shih, who routinely makes the weekly trek to Gatzert to oversee the after-school STEM program staffed by Bannan Scholars and other SU volunteers and service learners. When he was a staff member at the Center for Excellence in Engineering and Diversity at UCLA, Shih worked with high schoolers, summer programs and disadvantaged groups and gained extensive experience in K–12 STEM education. As someone who learned English as a second language during his teen years, he says he has a personal understanding of the academic struggles some Gatzert students face. “We try to teach science with fun projects while slowly building up their language skills since many of the students are struggling and can be discouraged by too much reading,” he says. He continues to improve the after-school program, now in its third year, which gives students a variety of learning projects. “The experiment, data collection and interpreting results are all parts of the scientific process for them,” he says. What keeps Shih going? “I just want to see these kids do well, develop a strong sense of self-worth and be better equipped to face the challenges that surely will be in their future,” he says.

Senait Gebregiorgis always has been curious about human behavior. “I’m interested in how people’s actions reveal their preferences,” she says. Gebregiorgis, who lives in Yesler Terrace, is an emerging leader for social change who just completed her bachelor’s degree in economics at Seattle University. She’s also on the advisory board for the Seattle University Youth Initiative. When she developed serious health problems, she had to take a big step back and think about where she could be the most effective. She chose to become an advocate for change in public policy. Recognizing she wanted to offer some of the support she lacked, as early as her middle school and high school years she volunteered at Yesler Community Center. “I had nobody to look up to during those years and felt emotionally disconnected,” she says. “I wanted to help students who struggled with that.” Growing up in an immigrant family with few resources means you only get one shot at it, according to Gebregiorgis. She says she doesn’t remember much about how her family fled to Kassala, Sudan, from war-torn Eritrea, bound for the United States. It was 1993 and she was just 3 years old. With three older brothers and three younger sisters, Gebregiorgis is the first in her family to attend college. She also is the leading reason higher education is the norm for her younger sisters. In 2011, she heard about SU’s Center for Service and Community Engagement and the Youth Initiative from Director Kent Koth. After two years at Seattle Central, Gebregiorgis entered SU and received a Youth Initiative scholarship for 2011–12. Each week during that school year, she volunteered two mornings as a teacher’s aide at Washington Middle School and two afternoons at Garfield High School with Urban League Scholars. From her perspective, the Youth Initiative is a godsend. “It’s amazing what the university is doing for the people in Yesler Terrace. Not very many universities knock on your door with a Youth Initiative that offers cradle-to-college academic support,” Gebregiorgis says. “The Youth Initiative empowers students and gives them the incentive to be involved in their own education.”

Chris Caculitan, ’13
You want to be in third grade all over again when you look around the classroom of Bonivi Caculitan Sanchez, ’07, MIT ’12, a teacher at Bailey Gatzert Elementary School. Imagine a colorful and cozy room filled with children’s books, fun posters and activity stations, a “Star of the Week” contest and a playful rug up front that’s a world map with faces of youngsters circling it to make it easy to remember where you’re supposed to sit cross-legged for group chats. There’s even a big reminder sign on the wall that this is the class of 2023, the year these third graders will graduate from college. “It’s to help them understand they’re shooting for something,” says “Mrs. Bonivi,” the name she embraced after arriving at Gatzert in 2012. She’s so much in the groove here it’s tough to imagine she’s only in her second year as a teacher. Her third graders proudly call themselves “The Incredibles” and have a classroom poster from the computer-animated movie of the same name with its family of superheroes that saves the world. Bonivi’s playful and compelling approach builds team spirit, high aspirations and a love for learning among her students. Her brother Chris Caculitan, ’13, says that growing up in a lowincome family, he and Bonivi saw firsthand the challenges facing those who are underprivileged. “There were a lot of obstacles that could have gotten in my way, but I was lucky enough to have the support I did. That is what drove me to do the work I do,” he says. Chris is nearing the midway point of a 10-month AmeriCorps stint as coordinator of the Redhawk Academic Mentoring Program, which connects students at nearby Washington Middle School with Seattle University volunteers who help them navigate the rough spots of learning. As part of the daytime program, he recruits, trains and matches SU undergraduates with sixth graders in the Yesler Terrace area. “I know the culture and population there. I wanted to be where I’d be the most effective and give back to the school that helped get me to where I am today,” says Chris, himself a graduate of Washington Middle School.

“I had one student from Ethiopia last year who was really low in everything. She benefited a lot from one-on-one with an SU tutor and the after-school program.” Bonivi Caculitan Sanchez, ’07, MIT ’12

There’s something about this dynamic brother and sister duo that tells you they’ve done their share of soul searching to get them where they are today, closely connected to the Seattle University Youth Initiative. In the early ’90s, when Bonivi was age 10 and her brother age 3, their parents emigrated from Villasis, a farming town in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. With encouragement from their parents, both started out at SU as business majors. She graduated with an accounting degree and started crunching numbers for a living. Bonivi couldn’t shake a way-back memory from her freshman orientation. “I attended a speech by Father Steve where he talked about what I can do for the world. That really stuck with me. In my four years at SU, I learned a lot about social justice and corporate responsibility, but I realized I wanted to do more to save the world. So I spent a year thinking about what I wanted to do before I entered the [College of Education] MIT program,” she says. Her younger brother came to a similar realization. He started out as a marketing major before switching to social work. “It was service learning that opened up my mind,” says Chris. Now he talks about graduate school and becoming a counselor. As immigrants themselves, both brother and sister say that serving immigrant populations is part of their mission. With 30 different languages spoken by Gatzert students, Bonivi describes how valuable Youth Initiative volunteers are—at least one volunteer for every subject available in her classroom daily. “I had one student from Ethiopia last year who was really low in everything. She benefited a lot from one-on-one with an SU tutor and the after-school program,” she says. “She passed math and her reading score came up, too, which says a lot because she only came to this country two years ago.”

He elaborates on the third point by sharing a chart of terrorist groups that have ceased to exist, a project that he says was a year in the making. He points out a historical oddity—how a lawsuit against the Aryan Nation following a shooting at Hayden Lake, Idaho, effectively ended that group's operation in 2000— before turning to the more common avenues by which terrorist groups include the use of force by the military or police, decapitation (taking out the leader) or a multifaceted approach he calls a “grand strategy.” The United States has deployed a grand strategy, including force, intelligence, economic tools, diplomacy and policy since the 9/11 terrorist attacks and, in Harmon's estimation, the approach is working. To be sure, there are areas to improve and strengthen, he says. "We could be reaching over other governments and talking directly to populations.” He also would like to see the government be more proactive in countering terrorism, rather than just playing defense. “Terrorism is disturbingly effective when it is managed well with other political strategies,” he says. Case in point: Hezbollah, which is 30 years old and led by the same man who founded it. Hezbollah has been “fantastically successful,” Harmon explains, because it has pursued a number of strategies to complement its terrorist activities, including governing and influencing those who govern. Although there's a perception that terrorism is on the rise, historical analysis proves otherwise, says Harmon. Still, the myth persists, along with others such as terrorism being mindless, or a male-driven enterprise. Or terrorists being disenfranchised and poor. Harmon debunks each of these misperceptions, explaining that terrorism is a most often a very intentionally used instrument in service of a political agenda; that women play a significant role in terrorist organizations; and that many in terrorist groups are well educated, some with advanced degrees. “The people sent to do a suicide bombing may not have master's degrees,” says Harmon, “but the leader often does.”

Earlier this year Harmon returned to Seattle to give a talk about his career as a scholar and expert on terrorism to the Boeing Management Association. He also spent some time visiting his alma mater. After graduating summa cum laude from SU with a double major in history and French language, Harmon earned a master’s in government and PhD in international relations and government, both from Claremont Graduate School. His research on terrorism could not have come at a more opportune time. He joined the staff of U.S. Rep. Jim Courter (R-NJ) in 1985. “Terrorist attacks became a big issue on Capitol Hill right around the time I arrived,” says Harmon, mentioning as one example the June 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847. He shared his expertise widely, writing policy reviews that appeared in publications including Christian Science Monitor. After his time in D.C., Harmon returned to academia, taking on a number of faculty posts in the United States and Germany. In 1993, he joined the Marine Corps University where he currently serves as the Major General Matthew C. Horner Distinguished Chair of Military History. A prolific scholar, Harmon has worked extensively on issues around war and terrorism. Highly sought for his expertise on terrorism, Harmon has spoken to numerous groups across the country and internationally and testified before Congress. In 2001, he received the Distinguished Public Service Award from the U.S. Department of State. Asked what he considers the most important contributions he has made to the study of terrorism, Harmon lists three. He first alludes to a journal contribution in 1992, in which he characterized terrorism as “a special kind of immorality and a vicious form of political activity that needed attention and study.” Second, he points to the argument he has consistently made that terrorism should be regarded as a strategy rather than dismissed as just a tactic. And third, while much research has been done on the causes and origins of terrorist groups, Harmon’s public lectures and publications helped pioneer study of how and why such organizations end.

Christopher Harmon, ’77, one of the nation's foremost scholars on terrorism, says Seattle University played a pivotal role in sparking his interest in the field. While studying abroad, as part of the French in France program led by Associate Professor Paul Milan, Harmon became intrigued by the subject matter. As several European countries grappled with terrorism, Harmon had a front-row seat.

Among the collection are works that speak of Hart’s familial relationships, notably his complicated one with his father—underscored by a heartfelt appreciation for his elder’s sacrifices,
By merging themes of loss and redemption, Boy Singing to Cattle serves as one man’s journey from boyhood to adulthood. It is a voyage from the undulating hills of the Palouse as a youngster to the fertile fields of New England as a father.

unathletic, quick to tears, girled on the schoolyard, teased for a temper I could not contain
I am but a clearing between thick woods, a brief opening where the sun enters, of little consequence but unspeakable worth, happy to be fodder for the continuance of things.

as detailed in the collection’s opening poem, “Burying My Father.” The final poem, “The Clearing,” about rural life in New England brings the author’s life full circle as he comes to terms with his past.

Everyone has a story to tell. Mark Hart’s story is about growing up in the Palouse in Eastern Washington, raised by his father, a tough wheat farmer and World War II veteran. His story is told through verse in Boy Singing to Cattle, a moving collection of poetry that paints a tribute to the landscape and people of Hart’s formative years and serves as an elegy for his reconciliation with the past. Now in his mid-50s, Hart resides in Amherst, Mass., where he has a psychotherapy practice, teaches meditation, serves as an adviser to Buddhist students at Amherst College and writes. In many ways the striking photo on the book’s cover—a crumbling yet resolute wooden barn situated between Colfax and Pullman, ensconced on a wheat field draped by hues of lush gold and crowned with dark threatening clouds—embodies the author’s journey. Through the landscape of memory,

On its website, Seattle University’s student radio station KSUB-89.1 FM makes the bold claim to “sonically kick your teeth in” with “pirates riding waves of sound” who are “rebels in a music revolution.” Enter Seattle University Librarian John Popko, known on the KSUB airwaves as Nigel, Your Favorite Child of the Sixties, host of The Finn Hill Sessions Tuesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. This volunteer DJ might be a rebel who carries a briefcase, yet his keen memory for music is not unlike an online database you might find in a university library. So how did the university’s head librarian start DJing on the side? He has been a bit of a closet DJ most of his life—a passionate music collector and listener who likes to delve into its history. One day in fall 2012, he responded to the station’s call for volunteer DJs. The Nigel moniker came to Popko courtesy of a friend during his high school and college days and it stuck. When he told his family he was bent on becoming a KSUB DJ, all agreed: “You can be Nigel again!” Nigel introduces his show each week by explaining its title, which also happens to be where he lives: “The Finn Hill Sessions is named for the mythical recording studio perched high atop Finn Hill in Kirkland, Wash., where generations of songwriters, composers, musicians and performers have paused in the midst of their worldwide travels to lay down a few tracks for posterity.” Every show opens with a slice of “Hey Mr. DJ” by Van Morrison and ends with Nigel’s signoff: “Paraphrasing my mom and Red Skelton, ‘Good night and God bless,’” followed by enough of “Happy Trails” for old timers to recognize the harmonies of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. The set list from each of Nigel’s shows spans about 50 years and includes music from multiple genres. Themes have included “sunny days,” “taverns and roadhouses,” “sad and lonely” and “luck and fortune.” When he first started out, his earliest one-hour shows took him five to seven hours of prep time. He whittled that down to three hours—OK, sometimes four— more recently. He drafts a complete script for each show. He’s challenged but not thwarted by minor technical gaffes. For example, he might start talking without turning on his microphone or start a song he just played. “Those weeks when I have only three people listening, it really doesn’t matter,” he says with a laugh. Who would have guessed that one of SU’s top administrators would hunker down in the basement of Campion Hall and play an eclectic assortment of tunes each week? “Nigel” shrugs and sums it up this way. “The bastard cousin of being a musician is being a DJ.” 42 / The Last Word
