EMMANUEL STUDENTS VENTURE INTO THE WORKING WORLD As the job market gets tighter and tighter, having real-world experience prior to graduation is becoming more critical to landing that first job or getting into a top graduate program.Through internships, Emmanuel College students are gain ing valuable experience, getting a leg up on the competition, and making significant contributions to area organizations in the process.

As an intern in the psychiatric unit of Children's Hospital, Rouba Youssef '02, a double major in developmental psychology and art therapy, was certain ly not just making copies and opening mail - she was developing and organiz­ing art therapy activities not available in the recreational therapy department.

Youssef began her internship in the spring of 2001, working

with both school-aged children (3-12 years old) and adoles­cents (to age 18) and running her own activities. According to the American Association of Art Therapy, art therapy is based on the theory that art, as a creative process, is healing.

During a collage-making activity organized by Youssef, chil­dren used magazine pictures and free drawings to create

As an educational response to the recent terrorist attacks, Emmanuel College's faculty-led panel discussion series, "Understanding September 11 th" offered students, the entire Emmanuel community and the public a forum to explore the historical, economic and political background of the current global conflict and to reflect on the far-reach ing effects of the events of September 11 tho "Carrying On: Reflections and Reactions," concluded this initial series on October 10th, ana lyzing the psychological, spiritual and philosophical ramifications of the attack and related national and global developments.

"By offering this educational series, we are providing the community with both a historical and global context for this tragic event," said Ellen Frank, Associate Professor of Economics at Emmanuel College and coordinator of the panel series. "Through this shared knowledge, we can better reflect on how the recent attack relates to an ongoing conflict and beg in to comprehend the complexity of the greater issue. Understanding not only the background, but being able to reflect on our connection with the global community is a means to healing."

MERCK BREAKS GROUND AT EMMANUEL COLLEGE Pharmaceutical Giant to Build 11 th and Largest Research Facility On Emmanuel's Campus

The officia l ground breaking on October 1st for Merck & Company's major research site in Boston on Emmanuel's campus marked the culmination of three years of collaboration between the globa l phar­maceutica l and research company and the college. Merck Research Laboratories-Boston, scheduled to open in early 2004, wi ll be devoted to new drug discovery and will offer new educationa l opportuni­ties for Emmanuel students and faculty.

Sister Janet Eisner, SND, President of Emmanuel, and Boston political leaders, Mayor Thomas M . Menino and Congressman Michael Capuano, were on hand to welcome Merck to Boston and the Longwood medical, academic and scientific community during a ceremony held on the Emmanuel College quad. Addressing attendees, Sister Janet Eisner spoke of the significance of the new facility's location.

"Since its founding by the Sisters of Notre Dame 83 years ago, Emmanuel College has stood proudly at 400 The Fenway in Boston. Some say that these few acres are unique in the whole of America, where so many prestigious institutions are lined-up around the green Olmstead jewel. For where else in this country could you find such rare beauty, such commitment to intellectual pursuit, and such dedi­cated service to improving the health of humanity? And it exists just a stone's throw from this campus."

Merck & Company was established in 1891, with its first research laboratory opened in 1933 in Rahway, NJ by George W. Merck, the son of the company's founder. Since then, Merck has grown to 10 major research centers in 7 countries, with more than 69,000 employees and a portfolio of more than 100 prescription medicines. Merck's Boston facility, which will house 300 scientists, will be criti­cal to future discoveries.

"This is a great day for the City of Boston, a great day for Merck and especially a great day for Emmanuel College because this research facility will do so much for this college over the next

MONSTERS I N V A 0 E EMMANUEl'S ART GALLERY Just in t ime for the Halloween season, the Lil lian Immig Gallery at Emmanuel College presents "There's a Monster ... ," a drawing show depicting the ve ry unique and diverse interpretations of monsters by five New Eng land artists. The works of Ell i Crocker, Katherine Desjard ins, Sean Foley, Howard Johnson and Ayae Ta kahashi represent varied types of artistic mediums, from

penci l drawings to watercolor, even to band aids.

The show overlaps an exhibit at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln called "Terrors and Wonders: Monsters in Contemporary Art." In fact, Howard Johnson and Ayae Takahashi are displaying their pieces in both shows. Kath leen Bitett i, Director and Curator of the Li ll ian Immig Gallery, worked closely with the DeCordova's Assistant Curator Nick Capasso to develop the "monster" theme and correlate the shows.

"This exhibit is all drawing-based work and represents many different styles and techniques," said Bitetti."As creating is getting more high-tech and computer­oriented, I wanted to have a simple paper and drawing

show."

"The ga llery exposes students to the work being done not on ly in Boston, but throughout New England," said Kathleen Soles, Professor of Art and Cha ir of the Art Department. "The gallery is a prominent venue for art ists and part of the public face of Emmanuel. Students have access to a diverse body of work right here on campus."

Emmanuel students were able to hear from two of the art ists first-hand during a gallery ta lk on October 17th.The pieces contributed by Sean Foley, a professor at the Maine College of Art in Portland, developed from small "doodles" Foley would create in between his more serious pa int ing. He discovered that it was these monster-li ke drawings that really interested him, not his more rea list ic, fig urative

paintings.

"I have been th inking about monsters si nce I was a kid, but it was not until the last five yea rs that I have discov­ered that they are w hat my work is all about - I just could not pin it down," sa id Foley. Foley's colorful watercolor

pieces resemble space or oceanic creatures.

Elli Crocker, who teaches art at Clark University in Worcester, often creates hybrid forms, which are half human and half anima l, as evidenced by her "Possum Man" and "Ram Man." She is particular about capturing these creatures' emotiona l, as well as physical state.

Katheri ne Desjard in's series of black and white drawings looks at the lighter, more humorous side of monsters. Howard Johnson's works, constructed partially with band­aids, depict symbols with an apoca lyptic quality. Ayae Takahash i's scrol l, featu ring pen and ink sketches, depicts

scenes from her own dreams.

"These works run the gamut of that which is funny and that which is scary," said Bitetti. "This is appropriate because our perceptions of monsters run the gamut.

Some are more real istic and some are more abstract."

The exhibit runs through November 8th. Gal lery hours are Monday through Thursday from 11 :00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and by appointment.The gallery is open to the public,

free of charge . •

Midnight Madness Officially Begins Basketball Season

Saints' fans packed the Marian Hall gymnasium on October 14th to celebrate Midnight Madness, the official start of the college basketball season. The 250 attendees previewed this year's talented men's and women's squads, watching a slam­dunk contest and scrimmages. The Emmanuel College dance team was also on hand to entertain the crowd.

Emmanuel Student to Run Bermuda Marathon On January 20, 2002, Betsy Suda '03 will run in her fourth marathon, but this time it will be for a cause near and dear to her heart. As a member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training, Suda is raising awareness and money to help combat a disease that took the life of her grandmother, Catherine A. Suda, in 1973.

A member of Emmanuel's cross-country team, Suda runs an average of 50-60 miles every week in preparation for the 26.2 mile race in Bermuda. She also participated in last year's Boston Marathon.

The society, which is dedicated to finding cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, has 58 chapters

around the country, including one in Framingham, MA. Funds raised from the race will help support research and treatments of the diseases.

"Cancer research is something I'm very interested in, and a field I'd like to pursue in the future," said Suda. A biology major,Suda hopes to attend medical school after gradua­tion.

Suda has already raised $2400, with the goal of reaching $3250. Donations can be sent to Suda at Emmanuel at 300 Brookline Ave, Box 103, Boston, MA 02115. Any questions can be directed to sudael@emmanuel.edu.

self-representations, allowing them to express their creativity and uniqueness. Following the activity the children were encouraged to talk about their work.

"I was able see a psychiatric unit in action and what role I could play to advance the unit by bringing art therapy to it," said Youssef. "Seeing the benefits and how I can make a difference was so important." Youssef plans to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology and eventu­ally open her own art therapy school.

"I applied what I had learned in my classes, and the staff was really helpful and very enthusiastic about what I was doing," Youssef continued. "It's so important to work with people who want you to do well. It makes it a much more beneficial experience. There was some validity to what I was doing."

Betty Chin '02, a computer graphic design major, is currently an intern in the graphic arts department at WCVB-TV 5 in Boston, starting in the summer of 2001 and continuing through this semester. "I've learned so much more than I could have taking classes alone. I've learned to work on a tight deadline, because things need to be done on the spot."

Chin is currently working on a project for Cityline, an urban news and feature magazine show which appears on Sundays at 12:30 p.m. The program generally features minority celebrities from the Greater Boston area, focusing on such topics as political and social issues, ethnic cuisine, musical and theatrical productions and newly-released books.

Chin's assignment is to create a "plasma" for the show, using an animation and video editing program called Aftereffects. The plasma is the graphic element viewers will see in the background while the show is airing, similar to what one sees when a news anchor conducts a broadcast. Photoshop is another popular program that Chin uses while in the graphic arts department.

"So far, I have done pen sketches on paper to try solving this visual dilemma. I have thumbnails of a bunch of ideas now and hopefully, something good can come out of them," said Chin.

"We strongly encourage our students to do an intern­ship during their time at Emmanuel," said Candice Serafino, Director of Internships and Career Development. "Having a hands-on experience is not only a great resume builder, but it al!ows students to be an asset to a company or organization, and to practi­cally apply knowledge gained through course work. The City of Boston has such a diverse number of opportuni­ties and our goal is for students to take full advantage of the internships available."

The Internship and Career Development Office offers students a Wide-range of services, including career counseling, resume and cover letter critiquing,job list­ings and graduate school resources. The Four-year Career Planning Program allows students to begin the planning process in their very first year.

The office also offers special events, workshops and series featuring Emmanuel graduates throughout the year. Mock Interview Week from November 5th through 9th will enable students to hone critical interviewing skills. Sophomore Career Planning Seminars will take place on November 13th at 12:30 p.m. and on the 15th at 6:00 p.m. in the Library Lecture Hall.

" Understanding September 11 th " continued fr o m page 1

All of the discussions were held in the Cardinal Cushing Library Lecture Hall. September 25th's opening panel titled "A Background: Middle East and Islam" offered historical information and featured Professor of Political Science Lenore Martin, Professor of Sociology Britta Fischer and Associate Professor of Religious Studies Ann Wetherilt.

"The Ethics of War and Security" on October 10th focused on the economic factors surrounding the event, the ethics

of war, the potential impact on civil liberty and the role of the media. Presenters were Professor Frank, Instructor of English Rebecca Constentino Hains '98, Professor of Political Science Marie Natoli and Professor of Philosophy Thomas Wall.

"Carrying On"

After delving into the background of the attacks and the immediate aftermath, October 10th's discussion explored the various reactions to crisis and tragedy. Dr. Michael St. Clair, Professor of Psychology, outlined historical reactions to tragic events, stating, "Throughout history, people have had to respond. History gives us many examples of resourceful­ness, resiliency, coping and dealing with terrible events on a national level."

Dr. St. Clair also offered information on the stress resulting from tragic events like the terrorist acts of September 11 tho "In reacting to an overwhelming life event, an abnorma l reaction is normal because the event is abnormal ... None of us has ever experienced anything like those planes crashing into those bUildings, and the response to an overwhelming life event is often acute stress. Part of what goes along with acute stress is a terrific survival response, and part of that survival response is the urge to talk to other people."

"This glass structure will reflect an era far removed from the Colonial style of Broadway and Jersey of the 1930s. And yet, its purpose is essentially the same - to advance science, increase knowledge and develop medicines that wi ll win us greater freedom from suffering and disease. I share the hopes of my colleagues, that the basic research and discoveries that we produce here will make a fundamental difference for people around the world."

Sister Janet Eisner commented, "We at Emmanuel College have come to know Merck as an ethical, values-based company whose mission to improve and preserve human life permeates their organiza­tion."

Addressing the recent terrorist attacks and result­ing global conflict, Peter Kim, Executive Vice President of Research and Development for Merck Research Laboratories, drew a connection with the promise of this new facility.

"In times like these, what brings people together are traditions, values and hope for the betterment of mankind. They guide our country and our people. They guide our best institutions - univer­sities, hospitals and our research community in genera l. "

Mayor Menino praised Emmanuel's President for her efforts in bringing Merck to Boston. "Sister Janet is one of the outstand ing presidents of any university or any college in the greater Boston area. We know that we have many colleges and

Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr. Kimberly Smirles took a psychological and sociological approach to analyzing reac­tions to difficult situations, focusing on social justice issues. Dr. Smirles cited the tendency to create certain categories of people, based on gender, religion, ethnicity, etc. and assign characteristics to these categories. This categorization often has social effects, such as stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination, currently evident in negative reactions to those of Arab and Muslim descent.

"The problem is that September 11 th has shattered all of our perceptions about people, about events, about our safety and about our nation," said Dr. Smirles. "So, we don't know what to think, we don't know how to feel, we don't know how to act. We are essentially paralyzed on those different levels."

Professor of Philosophy Dr. Raymond Devettere focused on the persona l and moral aspects of reacting to and dealing with tragic situations. Dr. Devettere put the attacks into a phi losophical context, Citing the thoughts and teachings of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers.

"If we want to live well in a very dangerous world, a world where there is tragedy and death and destruction, we are going to need something important, we are going to need strength of character, is w hat these philosophers said. We are going to have to develop our characters so we can with­stand the pressures and the tragedies that touch every single human life."

Dr. Devettere continued, "You can only develop authentic character, you r persona l character, by making the decision to be strong, to be brave, to persevere and to have dignity in the face of tragedy. What happened on September 11 th can become an opportunity to respond with dignity and courage and perseverance, an opportunity to go on living with these qualities, these characteristics."

Sister Mary Johnson, SND, 79, Associate Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies, rounded out the panel, addressing the Catholic Church's response to the current military attacks in Afghanistan, focusing on 5 specific groups.

universities in this area, but Sister Janet is one of the leaders. I would like to thank Merck for having the confidence in the city of Boston to come here and to make a statement that they want to be part of Boston."

Sister Janet Eisner thanked the Emmanuel Board of Trustees for their vision, planning and guid­ance during the entire process of bringing Merck to the Emmanuel campus, Joseph Corcoran of Corcoran Jennsion for making the project's devel­opment successful, and Mayor Menino for his leadership, friendship , support and continuing effort to make Boston a world-class city. A special thank you was expressed for a member of the Emmanuel community.

"In a special way, I recognize the extraordinary contributions of Sister Anne Mary Donovan, Treasurer of Emmanuel College. From Emmanuel's first meeting with the Merck team to countless meetings with the community and neighborhood associations to long conference calls with attorneys and her ever-available e-mail, fax and cell phone, Sister Anne has given her unstinting commitment to make this project a success, and I thank you on behalf of us all. "

As the event came to a close, Sister Janet Eisner, Mayor Menino, Mr. Gilmartin, Dr. Kim and Dr. Edward Scolnick, Executive Vice President of Science and Technology and President of Merck Research Laboratories, broke the ceremonial patch of earth and marked the beginning of a very exciting era for Emmanuel College and Merck . •

"When we talk about the Catholic Church, we are talking about a social organization that is one of the largest in the world with one bill ion members, a number equal to the number of Muslims in the world. So two billion people, or a little more than a third of the world's population, is Catholic or Muslim."

The five Catholic organizations within the u.s. discussed by Sister Mary each have a unique perspective and response to the current national and international confiict. While, the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops' Office for Social Development and World Peace, which critiques U.s. foreign policy, has a measured acceptance of the military strikes, it also calls for the U.s. government to address the social and economic inequalities in the world, which it feels are one of the root causes of the current confiict.

Catholic Charities, the largest private social network in the United States, responds to day-to-day needs, includ ing grief counseling and aiding the impoverished. Currently, the orga­nization is providing support to fam ilies of those killed in the World Trade Center. Catholic Charities, led by Father Bryan Hehir, a former Emmanuel professor and head of the Harvard Divinity School, also has a presence on Capitol Hill addressing government policies and issues.

Other organizations discussed by Sister Mary were Catholic Relief Services, which responds to needs abroad and has a presence in 80 countries, and two pacifist groups, the Catholic Worker Movement and Pax Christi U.s.A.

All of the presentations were followed by attendees commenting and directing questions to facu lty members, raising such issues as the confiict between patriotism and social justice, placing the terrorist attacks into a historical context and the role of the media and propaganda. A related presentation arranged by Campus Ministry and the Office of Academic Affairs on "Islam and the Concept of Jihad" by Imam Talal Eid, spiritual leader of the Islamic Center of New England, took place on October 24th. Additional discussions and lectures will be ongoing in the weeks

ahead . •

What do we bring with us when we enter college besides boxes of clothes, sheets and towels?

Sister Carolyn A. Caveny, SND reminded us during her speech at the Junior Ring Ceremony that we carry more with us than our belongings. Our fami­lies and our roots are essential elements to the people we become in college.

"I suspect that some of them are sitting here in this very place - members of your family, your communi­ties, your extended family members," Sister Carolyn

said."They rejoice in your accomplishments and when and where you enter, they enter with you."

This was never more apparent than during Family Weekend, held on October 12-14. The campus was filled with proud parents, excited to see their sons and daughters receive awards, display their musica l talents or participate in athletic events. All were brought together in one place for the shared purpose of celebrating the extended Emmanuel family - the students who enrich campus life, the families who taught them values, and the faculty, staff and adminis­tration who encourage their successes.

Sister Janet Eisner, SND welcomed the families in the Auditorium before festivities began on Saturday morning. "Since I met with you last year on Family Weekend we have seen many improvements," sa id Sister Janet. She encour­aged parents to witness first-hand the exciting changes taking place around campus. Sister Janet highlighted the newly renovated St. Joseph's Hall, with its new windows and a fitness center, to the construction of the Merck research laboratories that will provide exciting educational opportu­

nities for the community.

At the awards ceremony, students were recognized for their

scholastic achievements and service to Emmanuel. Students received Dean's List awards for high academic achievement. Members of the Class of 2004 were inducted into the college's chapter of the Freshman National Honor Society, Alpha Delta. Student leaders were also honored for their contributions to campus life. The Student Government

Association, Orientation Leaders and Resident Assistants were appreciated for the countless hours they contribute to their roles.

For seniors and juniors, Family Weekend is a time to partici­pate in Emmanuel traditions unique to their classes. The highlight of the weekend for the Class of 2002 was the Senior Cap and Gown Ceremony. Families received a preview of what the May 11 th Commencement will be like, seeing their daughters for the first time in their graduation attire. At this ceremony, the Class of 2002 officially became invested in their caps and gowns.

At the Ring Ceremony,juniors received their blessed class rings. This ceremony connects students to the long line of students and alums who also wear the Emmanuel class ring. Juniors chose a senior or alum to present them with their ring. Sister Janet explained the history of the class ring, from the inception of its design when the college opened in 1919, to its significance to the students who receive them today.

"Your Emmanuel ring is a lifelong symbol of your Emmanuel education and a bond with all alumnae spanning eight decades," Sister Janet said.

A variety of activities were planned throughout the day for students and families.The Midday Musicale provided enter­tainment that featured the exceptional musical talents of students. The women's soccer and tennis teams were in action. After touring the campus, families were encouraged to experience our extended campus- the City of Boston. Trolley tours departed from campus to give visitors a glimpse of the city. Families and alumnae also had the opportunity to visit the Jacqueline Kennedy Exhibit at the JFK Library and Museum.

After a busy day, families feasted on an Italian theme dinner. Marian Hall was transformed into an Italian bistro, with red and white tablecloths and Frank Sinatra tunes in the back­ground. Casino Night rounded out the festivities. Spectacular

prizes, like DVD players, stereos and televisions were

awarded.

"I love Family Weekend," says Linda DiRosa, mother of Junior

Danielle DiRosa."lt gives us time to spend with our children and to see how they have gotten used to the college

atmosphere."

With busy schedules, it is sometimes difficult for fami lies of college students to spend quality time together.This week­end was a great opportunity for families to reconnect and

to experience Emmanuel. •
