School Spirit. Give the Manhattan crowd credit: They remained lively well into the second half even though their team was getting manhandled. (The sizable contingent of Stags fans, by the way, matched their enthusiasm and then some.) Manhattan doesn’t have a mascot — though we see no reason there shouldn’t be a giant foam representation of Brother Jasper of Mary, the university’s onetime baseball coach, prefect of discipline, and possible inventor of the seventh-inning stretch, for whom the teams are named — but they do have cheerleaders, a dance squad, and a band. In general, we were kind of astounded by how much of the goings on resembled a high-school game, and not just because of the layout of the venue: The softball team sold 50/50 raffle tickets to raise money, the dance team sold team calendars to raise money (they presumably got this idea from Zach Morris), and bunches of green and white balloons provided some low-budget décor. Score: 6/10.

Great Brother Jasper’s Ghost!!!

I think he’s onto something.

While a big foam representation of Brother Jasper might be fun, I’m sure the Brothers would see it as disrespectful. And, the crowd would be impacted, he was after all the Prefect of Discipline. Not a fan of rowdy or “edgy” students.

But, maybe we do need a “Jasper”, like the RU Scarlett Knight, or the WVU Mountain Man.

Now, what would a Jasper carry?

A beer and a slide rule?

LOL!

Maybe MC will commission Jerry to create one. Or, license Jasperman?

Many a true word is said in jest!

Bet a lot of alums would pay to see that!

Recognizing Brand Leadership
Rex Whisman

*** begin quote ***

Yesterday and today I have the pleasure of facilitating a number of meetings on the campus of Manhattan College as part of a national education brand initiative that will connect over 40 secondary schools and six colleges and universities throughout the United States and Toronto. All schools are a part of an international network of Lasallian institutions.

These schools and the Christian Brothers order were founded by St. John Baptist de La Salle, the Catholic Patron Saint of Teachers. Just outside of our meeting spaces here at Manhattan, hang a number of banners that includes De La Salle and the Past-Presidents of the College. What a great way to honor the teachings and traditions of the past, and help visually recruit and retain brand champions. Each banner starts the conversation about story of this fine institution.

[JR: Yup, the "brand" is critical to keeping the doors open.]

JHQ: Aftermath Of Genocide In Cambodia 3/4 PM

Posted on February 9, 2010 by | Comments Off

Manhattan College’s Holocaust Resource Center Hosts Lecture About The Aftermath Of Genocide In Cambodia

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The Manhattan College Holocaust Resource Center will host a lecture, The Aftermath of Genocide in Cambodia: the UN and the Failures of National Reconciliation, given by Dr. Benny Widyono on Thursday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. The event, which will take place in Smith Auditorium, is free and open to the public.

Widyono is the author of Dancing in Shadows: Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge and the United Nations in Cambodia (2007). His book is not only a political memoir but also is an account of the flawed efforts of UN peacekeeping and the inadequacies of the international response to genocide by the Khmer Rouge in the aftermath of the Cold War.

After serving as a provincial director in the United Nations Transitional Authority on Cambodia (UNTAC) in 1992-1993, Widyono was named personal representative of the United Nations secretary-general in Cambodia in 1994. He remained in that post until 1997, when he retired from the United Nations after 34 years.

In retirement, Widyono has served as an economic advisor on Southeast Asian issues both in academia and in the business world. Since 2006, Widyono has been professor of economics at the University of Connecticut at Stamford.

For more information about this event, please call Dr. Jeff Horn, director of the Holocaust Resource Center at Manhattan College, at (718) 862-7129 or email jeff.horn@manhattan.edu.

The history of the Holocaust Resource Center dates back to 1996, when discussions among concerned faculty and administrators at the College and in the Riverdale community led to its founding with the mission of promoting Catholic-Jewish dialogue and educating future generations about the Holocaust. The center inaugurated its Visiting Scholars Program the next year, and in 2006, an additional annual lecture was added to the series that focuses on genocides other than the Holocaust.

More information about the Holocaust Resource Center can be found on its Web site at home.manhattan.edu/holocaustcenter.

JHQ: Dr. William Clyde MC EVP / Provost

Posted on January 12, 2010 by | Comments Off

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/news_releases/011110_2.shtml

January 11, 2010

Manhattan College Names Dr. William Clyde As Next Executive Vice President And Provost

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Dr. William Clyde has been named the next executive vice president and provost of Manhattan College, effective July 1. Clyde will replace Dr. Weldon Jackson, who served Manhattan for 13 years before stepping down from his position at the end of 2009.

Since 2007, Clyde has served as vice president for academic affairs at Queens University, a private Presbyterian-affiliated institution located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In his current role, Clyde has been instrumental in developing and implementing a major reorganization plan for Queens University’s academic units based on efficiency, clarity, and attractiveness to students. He has worked closely with the institution’s board of trustees, board of visitors, and boards of advisors while revitalizing Queens’ commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Clyde’s work in strengthening Queens University’s institutional effectiveness led to the creation of the university’s office of institutional research and assessment, the center for academic success, which emphasizes student support and retention, and the center for excellence in teaching and learning. In addition, he has worked to raise dramatically the level of available technology resources on campus, including online registration and hybrid courses.

“Dr. Clyde brings to Manhattan an impressive depth and breadth of experience, a strong record of accomplishment as an educator and administrator, and a reputation for creative thinking in response to complex challenges,” says Dr. Brennan O’Donnell, president of Manhattan College. “His dedication to mission is evident through his work in support of a broad program of community outreach, service-learning, and international development projects.”

Clyde began his career as an investment officer at Harris Trust and Savings Bank in Chicago before becoming vice president of investments at First National Bank of Chicago (now part of JP Morgan Chase), where he specialized in foreign exchange markets. He joined the faculty of Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) in 1990, and for seventeen years taught courses in financial management, corporate finance, and securities analysis, among other subjects, earning tenure there in 1995 and rising to the rank of full professor in 1998. From 1995 through 2007, he held a series of administrative appointments of increasing responsibility and complexity: program director, dean of academic technology, dean of the College of Professional Studies, and finally associate vice president for academic affairs.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in economics and chemistry from DePauw University in Indiana, Clyde earned an M.S. in chemistry from New York University and a Ph.D. in economics from Edinburgh University in Scotland. He is the author of Using Technology in Teaching, published by Yale University Press in March 2005, as well as numerous academic papers, articles, and professional presentations.

JHQ: Dr. Richard Satterlee VP For Student Life

Posted on January 12, 2010 by | Comments Off

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/news_releases/011110_1.shtml

January 11, 2010

Manhattan College Names Dr. Richard Satterlee As Next Vice President For Student Life

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Dr. Richard Satterlee has been named the next vice president for student life at Manhattan College, effective July 1. Satterlee will replace Br. Robert Berger, who will step down from his position in June after nine years

Satterlee has served in the position of assistant vice president for student development at Loyola University of Maryland (formerly Loyola College of Maryland) since July 2001.

In his current role, Satterlee serves on the vice president’s senior student-affairs team, and has direct supervisory responsibility for a wide range of departments, including leadership and new student programs, student activities, recreational sports, and academic advising for varsity athletes.

Satterlee also has extensive experience in integrated learning communities, student judicial matters, crisis response, and facilities programming and planning, having served as his division’s coordinator for Loyola’s Fitness and Aquatics Center, its recent expansion of its student center and first-year residence halls, and its recently completed athletic complex. During his time at Loyola, he has demonstrated leadership in a broad range of areas, including strategic planning and personnel development.

“Dr. Satterlee is a strong and eloquent advocate of Catholic higher education and has firmly established himself at Loyola as a leader in developing a campus culture that is conducive to the education of the whole student – in mind, body and spirit,” says Dr. Brennan O’Donnell, president of Manhattan College.

Satterlee began his career as an English teacher at Taft High School in Lincoln City, Oregon, and has also served as an adjunct professor of education at Loyola since 2004. Prior to arriving at Loyola, he spent nearly seven years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, rising from assistant director of intramural and recreational sports to director of the student recreation center. He moved to Loyola in February 1995 as director of recreational sports.

“I am extremely excited to join Manhattan College as the next vice president for student life,” says Satterlee. “I was so impressed with the powerful sense of community at Manhattan that I experienced when I visited with students, faculty and administration during the search process – a characteristic that I am certain finds its origins in the community’s shared Catholic, Lasallian heritage. I also believe that further enhancement of Manhattan’s student life program can be central to achieving its aspirations and I look forward to being a partner in this endeavor.”

An active member of several professional associations, including the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, the Association for the Study of Higher Education, and the Center for Academic Integrity, Satterlee is a frequent presenter at professional conferences. This past November, he delivered “Exploring How Student Employment Affects the Academic and Co-curricular Choices of Sophomores” at the 16th National Conference on Students in Transition in Salt Lake City, Utah.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in English from Occidental College in Los Angeles, Satterlee earned a Masters of education in college services administration from Oregon State University. He recently completed his Ph.D. in educational leadership at the University of Maryland in College Park.

And when I woke up, I was OLD!

# – # – #

Has your life turned out to be all you expected? I’m interested in what you all think… Here’s the scenerio:

Picture yourself at your favorite age (for me, it was 17). Think about where you were then: your views, your attitude on life, your friends (Were you shallow? Were you quick to judge? Were you into a specific genre of music/movies/TV? Did you have a specific hobby (or boyfriend!?!) you “couldn’t live without”? Did you want to become a mother? Did you want to be a lawyer? President?

CONTEST DESCRIPTION: OK. Now imagine that you went to bed one night (at that age) and when you woke up, it was January of 2010. Tell me what you see, what you feel, what you think. Are you happy with where you are?

PRIZE: I am not giving away any broadway show tickets, I am not giving away any kitchen sets, I am not giving away any birthday parties. Actually, what I AM giving away is something much more valuable. Let’s see if we can truly get to know each other. More importantly, let’s get to know OURSELVES.

HOW TO ENTER: Simply think about the scenerio I shared, and reply with your thoughts. I’ll start below. Follow my lead.

CONTEST ENDS: It doesn’t ! We’re always growing and changing, and as mothers, we especially learn that we need to adapt to different phases and stages of our lives. Let’s all accept who we are and where we’re at. Then we can begin to adjust the parts that might need some TLC!

HAVE FUN!

OK, so I fell asleep one night in 1992, when I was 17 years old. A senior in high school, dating my childhood sweetheart since we were 15, planning on starting the pre-med program at Manhattan College the following September on my road to becoming a pediatrician. I wanted 2.4 children, with a house in Westchester with a white picket fence and a dog named Max. Stephen and I would live happily ever after.

When I woke up, it was 2010. My goodness! I was much heavier, had much longer hair, and where was Stephen? The man in the bed next to me was OLD, like 40! I was about to run, when I looked at the wedding photo above the bed and realized he was my husband! Confused, I continued to check out my surroundings. I walked around the apartment (seems I am still living in the same neighborhood I grew up in? What happened to the house in the suburbs with the fence and the dog and the 2.4 children?) and saw another bedroom. There was a little girl sleeping in the bed, who, ironically, looked a heck of a lot like I did when I was about 7. Was she mine? WOW! She was cute

I kept walking and came upon another bedroom with THREE (whoa!) cribs in it! I went and looked into each one, and the three little boys I saw were so adorable! Who’s kids were these and where was their mother? I watched each of them sleep for a little while, thinking how lucky the mother was, and trying to understand why I felt this bond with them, like they were mine. Were they? FOUR? FOUR KIDS?

When everyone started to wake up and I learned a bit more about myself, I realized that I was very happily married to Paul (after divorcing Stephen), and what was important to me in 1992 meant absolutely nothing to me now that I had this man and these four children in my life.

I am NOT a pediatrician (well, a mom is a pediatrician to some degree, right?), I am a family therapist on a LOOONG maternity leave, and I am currently working from home as a City Ambassador for MomsLikeMe.com (a concept that in 1992 would have made NO sense… Internet Mommy? What was that?)

I can say that God has given me much more than I ever imagined from 1992. I would still LOVE to have our own house, not necessarily in suburbia! I am happy with what I have been given, and I recognized how blessed I truly am.
