Above and Beyond

In the face of the most challenging economic times in decades, the philanthropic spirit seems to have a gratifying response: growth. Hiram College President Tom Chema notes, “In an era when many schools will finish down against last year in their annual fund campaigns, our hard work has put us in a position to finish up approximately up 6% in unrestricted Hiram Fund attainment.”

Pat Roberts, vice president for development and alumni relations, elaborated, citing that the Hiram Fund (restricted and unrestricted gifts) grew by 13.5% over last year. Friends and alumni of the College made over 2,500 gifts, totaling more than $4.4 million, during this past academic year, which ended on June 30, 2009.

Due in large part to this generosity, Hiram faculty will have the academic resources to support the growing student body; and those students can come to the campus in the fall with the reassurance that scholarship support is available to them.

Changes Since You’ve Been Gone

104 students to move into first-ever Hiram townhouses

Among the most significant changes this summer is the completion of the 26 townhouses that will house 104 of our returning students for the 2009-2010 year. Each townhouse has four single bedrooms, two baths, a living room, kitchen with breakfast bar and laundry room. Each unit has a separate entrance from outside, and every occupant has an assigned on-site parking space. The construction schedule has been tight, with crews working extra hours to make sure that carpets are installed and paint is dry in time for move-in.

To the benefit of the entire community, the Winrock Road extension is being paved and the parking lot adjacent to the Gelbke Fine Arts Center is being expanded at the conclusion of the student townhouse development project.

Food service revolutionized with 18,000 square-foot dining hall

When you come back from summer break, you’ll immediately notice a substantial improvement to the College’s dining facilities. Our new building is, in a word, spectacular. Serving stations are being installed in July, and AVI employees are excited about using this space to improve the overall quality of the dining experience for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

The new dining hall will be open weekdays from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m., 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., 4:30 to 8 p.m. and 9 to 11:30 p.m. Weekend hours will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. on Saturdays) and 9 to 11:30 p.m.

And the new dining hall is only the beginning

A popular pizza franchise in Northeast Ohio is opening a location in Hiram. Gionino’s Pizzeria is expected to open during the first week of September on the street level of the professional building across from the post office.

A familiar hangout will return to Hiram when Gery’s Place Down Under opens for business just prior to the start of classes. Gery’s Place Down Under will be a restaurant and pub in the location of the former Dropouts and will be owned and operated by Gery Henkels, a respected 36-year veteran of Hiram College and former campus food service manager.

Goodbye yellow brick walls

That’s right, the Hinsdale Hall renovations are nearly complete. The name of the building is about the only thing you will recognize when you return to campus, as the interior has received a new look and a new set of furniture that makes the building a much more comfortable learning space for professors and students.

Speaking of new learning spaces

Faculty and staff members associated with the Garfield Institute for Public Leadership moved into their permanent residence in the new Garfield Meeting House. John Koritansky, Nozar Alaolmolki, Jason Johnson, James Thompson, and Kathy Luscheck have perhaps the most enviable office space on campus. And don’t be surprised if you see the lower-level seminar room as the location of one of your classes this year!

Also ahead for the Garfield Institute

You’ve probably already seen the national news coverage of our statute of President James A. Garfield that stands outside the Garfield Meeting House. Sadly, the statue was vandalized after you left campus in May and he has been headless throughout the summer. However, we received the unexpected and happy news on July 31 that a good samaritan has returned the head to the Hiram Village Police Department! Very soon we’ll have James A. together again.

Summer provides little solitude for Hiramites

The Office of Special Events and Conferencing had a blockbuster summer conferencing season. They hosted 24 groups and three weddings bringing nearly 2,500 guests to campus! Almost every day since commencement, there’s been a band playing, volleyball players practicing, or people meeting somewhere on campus.

New faces in the faculty

The College’s new vice president and dean, Cheryl Torsney, formally started her official duties. She is formerly professor of English and associate provost at West Virginia University and a native of Youngstown, Ohio. In addition to Torsney, the following new faculty members join us this year:

Amanda Buzzacco (accounting)

Erin Gentry Lamb (biomedical humanities)

Jon Gordon (communication)

Renee Gutierrez (Spanish)

Cheryl Hunter (education)

James Kercher (chemistry)

J. Paul Louth (music)

Brad Maguth (education)

Steven Merrill (nursing)

Louis Oliphant (computer science)

Arne Weigold (psychology)

Cynthia Willis-Chun (communication)

Time-Warner to provide digital cable services

You’ll notice an improvement in your cable service upon returning to campus. We’ve switched from analog to digital cable, which means more channels and improved reliability. Basic cable channels are available in every residence hall and townhouse, and students may individually pay for upgrades like premium channels (HBO, for example) and DVR service. You do not need any special equipment and Time Warner representatives will be on campus during move-in to answer your questions.

Carol Milani becomes the official voice of Hiram College

Campus Visit Coordinator Carol Milani of the Office of Admission is now the voice of Hiram via our new automated phone attendant. When you call our main switchboard (330.569.3211), you are now greeted by Carol’s voice and prompted to either dial by name or select from a menu of campus offices. The new service increases the availability of the campus switchboard to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Of course, you may still dial directly by using the 4-digit extension from a campus phone, or 330.569 followed by the extension if you’re calling from off campus.

What do Argentina, Canada, Germany, Puerto Rico and Sweden have in common? (Besides that they’re all outside of the U.S.)

They’re all places that you can study as part of Hiram’s association with East Central Colleges. Students from Hiram may now sign up for semester-long study abroad exchange programs to any one of these locations. This is in addition to Hiram’s traditional faculty-led study abroad trips and exchange programs with universities in Italy, Japan and Turkey. Visit study abroad for more information. So, where in the world will you travel next year?

Learning that’s more local

Hiram students participate in plenty of curricular and co-curricular learning experiences off campus within the U.S. That won’t change. But now, we have new policies for when Hiram faculty, students and staff may use our 15-passenger vans. The 15-passenger vans are available for destinations for college-approved programs within a 100-mile radius. That means that you can take a 15-passenger van up to 200 miles round-trip. For destinations that are more than 100 miles away, you can still use the 12-passenger vans, mini-vans or cars.

Alumni’s giving is up in a down year

The Office of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving recently released its year-end figures and the results defy national trends. Total gifts to the Hiram Fund from alumni and friends exceed $1.7 million in 2008-2009, up 14% from the previous year. Experts predict that overall giving to education is likely to decline by 4% for the year. Not at Hiram! Our graduates have responded to Hiram’s growth by supporting the programs that helped make them successful—providing opportunities to a new generation of students.

This is a test. This is only a test.

No, it’s not exam time yet. However, the Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) has been actively studying and revising its plans for an emergency, pandemic or catastrophic event. Several members of CERT participated in a simulation this summer to test the College’s plans. We’ve also been evaluating new ways to communicate effectively during an emergency, including text messaging. We’ll provide more specific information on that later.

For now, students and families should be prepared in the event that the College closes unexpectedly, as it did during the ice storm of 2008. We’re asking all students to identify where they will go—with names, addresses and phone numbers—if the college closes. Experts tell us that advance preparation is the best response to an emergency.

Please remember that emergency announcements are available at the College’s home page, at 330.569.5959 and via campus e-mail.

Consider the environment before you print that

Going green means using less paper and recycling what you do use. Beginning this year, you’ll be able to print up to 500 pages per year in any of Hiram’s public computer labs (Kennedy Center, Colton 106, Hinsdale 204 and 214, the Library, Gerstacker 124 and all residence halls). If you need to print more than 500 pages, and a vast majority of students never do, you can purchase lots of 50 pages for $3 per lot at the Student Accounts Office. The important thing is to print only when you must, print double-sided and use the recycle bins located across campus for papers you don’t need anymore.

Reality check

If all the changes seem too good to be true, then keep in mind all of the positive growth that has been a part of Hiram during the past six years. While these changes would have stretched our imagination just a few years ago, today they are a part of a normal summer at Hiram College. However, we’ve stretched our crews to their limits and have postponed a few projects so that we can devote the time we need to do them right.

We plan to begin renovations for a Bistro on the first floor of the Kennedy Center this fall. We are also delaying the start of our renovations for the Black Box Theatre. We have a few generous donors who have made this project possible, and we will begin work when the dust settles from our massive undertakings in other areas of campus.

Finally, we also postponed a few minor updates to our existing residential facilities, however we have moved forward on the work that was most meaningful to enhance the student experience and will continue our renovation plan moving forward.

Important dates to start the year

Returning students move back into the residence halls on Saturday, August 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. for express check-in and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 30. Early arrivals are scheduled for resident assistants (August 16), soccer, cross country and volleyball players (August 18), football players and Terrier Sound members (August 19), cheerleaders (August 20), orientation leaders and movers & groovers (August 24), and new students (August 26).

Classes begin Monday, August 31. (Weekend College courses begin Friday, August 28.) We will not have classes on Monday, September 7, to observe Labor Day. Opening convocation is Thursday, September 10.

Senior Football Defensive Lineman Humphrey Caswell Named Preseason All-Ohio By ohiocollegefootball.com

HIRAM, OHIO — Hiram College senior football player and defensive lineman Humphrey Caswell (South Euclid/Brush) has been selected to the second-team preseason Division III All-Ohio defensive squad by ohiocollegefootball.com.

Last season, Caswell anchored the defensive team that helped Hiram post a 3-7 overall record, snapping a 26-game winless streak, and 2-5 in the North Coast Athletic Conference. Individually, he finished third on the team in tackles with 64 (27 solo and 37 assists). He led the team in quarterback sacks at three-and-a-half and tackles for loss with 10.5. His 10.5 tackles for loss put him in a tie for fifth most in the conference. Following the season, he earned second-team All-NCAC honors which was his third all-conference award for his career. He earned honorable mention accolades the previous two seasons.

In 2009, Caswell will again be a major contributor on defense as a senior. He will be one of 20 starters and 52 letterwinners returning for the Terriers this fall and will be one of the top defensive lineman in the conference. Hiram will open its season on Saturday, Sept. 12 when it hosts Gallaudet (Wash. D.C.) University at the Charles A. Henry Field in its first of three home games to begin the season. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.

2009 Volleyball Preview

HIRAM, OHIO — The 2008 season saw the Hiram College volleyball team post its eighth straight season with 15 or more wins and seventh consecutive winning season. This fall, the Terriers will look to continue their run as one of the top programs in the North Coast Athletic Conference and all of Division III.

Last year, Hiram fell just one win shy of its fifth straight 20+ win season at 19-18 overall, but boasted an impressive 11-5 record in the NCAC. The Terriers appeared in the conference tournament for the eighth straight year and advanced to the championship match for the seventh consecutive season.

“With a very young squad, we played our most challenging schedule to date,” said Head Coach Ellen Dempsey. “As a result, we gained some valueable experience which will pay off this year.”

Dempsey, who enters her ninth season as head coach, is the winningest coach in program history and needs seven victories this season to reach the 200-win plateau in her career at Hiram. She currently has a 193-84 record in her eight years at Hiram and is 325-223 overall in 17 seasons.

Hiram returns 12 letterwinners in 2009, including six starters. The Terriers lost just two players to graduation in seniors Rebekah Williams and two-time All-NCAC player Sarah Schoenhagen.

“Both our seniors played a big role for us last season and we will miss not having their abilities on the floor each match,” said Dempsey. “The leadership they provided helped prepare our team for success this year.”

This year, Hiram will be led by four seniors that include All-NCAC middle hitter Randa Jackson (South Euclid/Brush), outside hitters Lauren London (Pittsburgh, Pa./Avonworth) and Charley McQueary (Oregon/Clay) and setter Brittany Mayle (Mantua/Crestwood).

Jackson became the seventh player in program history to earn first-team All-Conference accolades in 2008 and led the team in hitting percentage (.246) and total blocks (91). She also ranked second in kills with 248 (2.00 kills per set). London and McQueary added depth for the Terriers and saw regular playing time with London finishing fourth on the team in digs at 226 (1.93 digs per set) and McQueary ending the season second in both digs with 308 (2.52 digs per set) and service aces with 26. Mayle moved from her setter’s position to the team’s starting libero and recorded a team-high 531 digs (4.12 digs per set) which ranked as the third most all-time in a single season.

“We have a good group of seniors this season who are all four-year members of the program,” said Dempsey. “Their experience will be invaluable not only to the success of the team, but also in helping guide our younger players during matches and practice.”

The Terriers add to the list of returning veterans in junior setter Alyssa Coundourides (Brunswick/Parma-Padua Franciscan).

Coundourides had a strong sophomore season in 2008 as the team’s number two setter tallying 366 set assists (2.98 assists per set). In addition, she was fourth on the team in aces with 16 and recorded 216 digs (1.76 digs per set).

Hiram will also return a host of sophomores this season led by outside hitter Shaina Bryan (South Euclid/Brush) and setter Taylor Summerfield (Warren/Howland).

Both players had outstanding “rookie” seasons with Bryan leading the team in kills with 249 (2.31 kills per set) and had a .211 hitting percentage. She was also third in total blocks at 54 (18 solo and 36 assists) and added 161 digs (1.49 digs per set). Summerfield posted team-highs in assists with 760 (5.80 assists per set) and aces with 34. She was also amongst the team leaders in digs with 276 (2.11 digs per set). In addition, Summerfield had 146 kills (1.11 kills per set) to go along with a .238 hitting percentage, which was second best on the team.

Joining Bryan and Summerfield will be middle hitters Andrea Kaminsky (Canton/ GlenOak), Kristi Opfer (Garrettsville/Garfield) and Katie Rumora (Canal Winchester) as well as outside hitter Megan Woodard (Saint Leonard, Md./Calvert) and outside hitter/defensive specialist Leslie Dunn (Pittsburgh, Pa./ Baldwin).

“We have some young and talented players that should not only help us succeed this season, but also help us continue to contend for conference championships in the future,” stated Dempsey. “All around we have a good balance of veteran and youth players, but we have the advantage of all our returning players having experience that will help us throughout the year.”

Hiram will open the 2009 season on Tuesday, Sept. 1 when it travels to Berea for a non-conference match against Baldwin-Wallace College at the Rudolph Ursprung Gymnasium. The match is set to begin at 7 p.m. The Terriers will then travel to Huntington, Pa. for the Juniata College Invitational on Friday-Saturday, Sept. 4-5 where Hiram will face some of the toughest competition of the season including Juniata who was ranked No. 3 in the nation in the final AVCA poll last year including being ranked the top overall team for the majority of the season.

Hiram Students Interning With U.S. State Department

Though summer may be a break from classes and studying for Hiram students, it is not a break from learning. Three students have taken the opportunity to learn more about the world around them and themselves this summer through internships.

Hiram was chosen by the U.S. State Department to participate in a new Internship Fellows Program. Of the 15 colleges and universities to receive invitations from Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice, only two are liberal arts institutions.

Hiram nominated five students to participate in the program, which provides State Department fellowships to up to four students from each institution beginning next summer with the aim of attracting college students into careers in Foreign Service. 18 students applied for the program and ultimately, three students are taking part in these exciting internships.

The students are:

Charles Kraus, a senior majoring in political science and history from Canton, Ohio, and graduate of Hoover High School is interning in China;

Katherine Eppley, a junior undeclared major from Stow, Ohio, and graduate of Stow-Munroe Falls High School is interning in Montreal;

And Nadrienna Damaris, a junior education major from Detroit, Michigan, and graduate of Renaissance High School is interning in Washington, D.C.

The Fellowship allows students to have a full-time, paid internship with the State Department either in Washington, D.C. or abroad for 10 weeks either during the summer or fall of 2009 where they won’t just be making coffee. They have been given professional-level work assignments, which may include things like helping American citizens, attending meetings and writing reports, or conducting research to assist as needed. Interns in Washington, D.C. have the opportunity to participate in activities coordinated by the intern activities coordinator, which include events like brown bag lunches with senior Department officials, tours, and social activities.

Kraus wrote to us detailing his time in China:

“In short, it has been a wonderful experience so far. I’ve been able to work under some great minds at the US Consulate in Shanghai, meet forward thinking Chinese scholars as well as more traditional government officials, sharpen my understanding of China/Chinese politics, learn more about careers in the Foreign Service, and live in a dynamic, ever important city, Shanghai.

I am an intern in the Political/Economic Section. As it is summer time and many Foreign Service Officers are coming and going from summer leave, my day to day tasks tend to shift fairly often. I have done a few reporting trips with my supervisor to local universities to speak with scholars about China’s foreign relations. This involved me doing preparation beforehand and preparing the questions/discussion points that we raised. After the meetings, I was responsible for drafting the cables (telegrams) describing the key points that were raised and any new developments relayed to us that were sent back to Washington, D.C. and other posts throughout China and the world. In the next few weeks I’ll be doing more of these types of reporting trips, although our focus won’t necessarily be foreign relations.

One of the other highlights so far was accompanying the Consul General on a trip to Ningbo, a city about two-hours south of Shanghai. Ningbo doesn’t have the name recognition of Shanghai, but in fact it’s an important port city in East China and there are more than 12,000 foreign invested enterprises located there (not to forget it’s a city of more than 5 million people). While we were there we were invited to several meetings with a variety of government officials, including a dinner hosted by the Party Secretary of the Ningbo Municipal Communist Party Committee (the highest ranking official in the city) at a ritzy five-star hotel. I checked the Ningbo local papers the next day (in Chinese) and sure enough our visit was mentioned, but disappointingly my name wasn’t listed. Once we returned to Shanghai I was once again responsible for drafting the cables related to our visit, summarizing and highlighting the key points of our meetings.

My tasks have otherwise involved drafting newsletters for internal US government circulation on environmental and financial news in the Shanghai Consular district, attending local events, organizing a few briefing events for other interns and myself, and occasionally translating documents or letters from Chinese into English. The briefing events I just mentioned are opportunities for interns to have lunch with Foreign Service Officers to learn about how consulates/embassies function and career paths. There’s always important visitors coming through the city as well—last week Secretary of Commerce Locke was here for the groundbreaking of the 2010 World Expo US Pavilion. There will also be some other visitors here shortly.

The work atmosphere has been totally excellent. I am surrounded by many Foreign Service Officers whose knowledge of China/Asia is extensive, and who at the same time are eager to get me involved in whatever project they might be working on. Also a plus are the free services being provided, including housing (living out in an expat neighborhood in a town house, can’t complain) and transportation to and from work. Shanghai is a huge city, somewhere in the vicinity of 17-million residents, so the choices for restaurants and entertainment are pretty much endless.”

Damaris also told us a bit about her time in Washington, D.C. so far:

“Hello! My internship is going wonderfully. I am working with the Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau in the office of Cultural Programs, and we have just finished up grant season (which was busy to say the least). We are also getting ready for our big move from our current location to a new building in downtown D.C.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to send too many photos of what happens in my office (they’ve warned us about that), but I can send you a few photos from events we sponsor that I’ve gone to, or meetings outside of the office – such as the one where I met Hilary Clinton.”

Ethics @ Work Program Recap

This article comes to us from the first issue of the Center for the Study of Ethics and Values’ E-Newsletter. It is written by the Center’s Assistant Director Brittany Jackson ‘04.

On March 19, 2009, the Center hosted the first annual Ethics @ Work program. The program brought several members of the Center’s Advisory Council to campus to meet with several Hiram College classes. The presenters were Davis Young, a Trustee of the College; Jay Schabel from Auburn Twin Oaks and Polyflow; Greg Lewis from Lubrizol; Mary Bowers from Rainbow Babies and Children Hospital; and K.C. Henry from Transitions Unlimited.

The keynote speaker was Connie Schultz, award winning columnist for the “Plain Dealer” and wife of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. Schultz spoke to 125 Hiram College students, faculty, staff and community members about “Ethics in Journalism.”

She captivated the audience with her anecdotes and wit, explaining that ethics should apply not only to journalism, but to life as well. Following Schultz’s speech, lunch was served to the other presenters, faculty and students so as to continue conversations started during their class.

Parkinson to be Keynote Speaker

Associate Professor of English Kirsten Parkinson will be a keynote speaker at the 103rd Annual Dickens Fellowship Conference next week at Case Western Reserve University. Her presentation is titled “‘What do you play, boy?’: Card Games in Great Expectations.”

Hiram College and Village of Hiram officials announce the return of head of Garfield statue

Hiram College and Village of Hiram officials today announced that the head of the statue of James A. Garfield which was stolen on Thursday, May 14, has been returned. The statue head was returned to the police department this morning by a good samaritan who is not a suspect in the investigation.

“We’re obviously thrilled to have the head back so that we can restore the statue to its original condition,” said Hiram College President Thomas V. Chema. “We’re grateful to the good samaritan who helped recover the head. The statue represents Garfield’s connection to Hiram and is a wonderful addition to our campus, sitting adjacent to our new Garfield Institute for Public Leadership.”

College officials on June 22 offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the return of the Garfield head. The person who delivered the head to the police department is not interested in the reward. At this time, no one has stepped forward to claim the reward.

“While we are pleased that the head has been recovered, we’re continuing our investigation,” said Hiram Police Department Chief Mark Lombardi.

“It’s nice to have people in our community who are willing to do the right thing,” said Chema of the good samaritan. “In this case, we are able to restore an important piece of American history.” Garfield was a Hiram student and principal before he was the 20th President of the United States.

LaBenne Selected as Tribune Chronicle Columnist

Paul LaBenne is one of four community members chosen to write regular editorial columns for the “Tribune Chronicle.” LaBenne, who is a communication major in the Weekend College, will write 26 columns for the paper, with his articles appearing every two weeks.

LaBenne’s first editorial ran on Tuesday, July 28, 2009. You can read it online here.

Hiram College Stays on the Forefront of Genomics Education

This article comes to us from the first issue of the Center for Deciphering Life’s Languages E-Newsletter. It is written by the Center’s Director and Associate Professor of Biology, Brad Goodner, and the Center’s Assistant Director Brittany Jackson ’04.

Understanding what a DNA sequence can tell you is not only crucial to modern medicine, but also to efforts in basic science, agriculture, bioenergy and industrial biotechnology. Providing students with the theoretical background is a first step, but nothing beats the opportunity to do it for real. Cheryl Kerfeld, Head of the Education Program for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute (JGI), and her colleague, Hiram Associate Professor of Biology Brad Goodner, had the opportunity to pass on the best practices developed over the past several years at Hiram College. Goodner was invited to help lead a workshop held at JGI headquarters in Walnut Creek, California, on January 22-23. 33 faculty from 18 community colleges, liberal arts colleges and research universities received training in how to involve undergraduates in the analysis of bacterial genomes (a genome is the complete DNA sequence for a given organism).

“Brad is one of the leaders in developing innovative ways for undergraduates to do real genomics research in the context of their courses,” Kefeld said. “He’s set up a model program at Hiram and I asked him to come to the JGI to share his examples with the faculty trainees. His ideas, and the results of the Hiram students, have helped to guide the development of IMG-ACT, the analysis and data management platform developed by JGI scientists.”

Goodner is pleased with the result of Hiram’s collaboration with the JGI.

“The beauty of IMG-ACT is that students are working with DNA sequence data in a cutting-edge research environment that has been designed up-front with teaching in mind,” he said. “They can learn basic concepts, perfect the organization and analysis skills they will need when they graduate and make a scientific contribution at the same time.”

Goodner and his Hiram colleagues, Stuart Gordon and Kathryn Reynolds, have been working with IMG-ACT since its development in 2007-2008 as part of a pilot program involving 10 institutions brought together by Kerfeld. Currently, Hiram students are working on the genome of Planctomyces limnophilus, a member of a bacterial group that is widespread in soil, freshwater and marine environments but don’t grow up easily in the lab.

“This is a weird one, a bacterium without a cell wall that divides differently than most other bacteria,” says Goodner. “Who knows what other strange pathways and processes are waiting to be discovered.”

Goodner and Kerfeld also collaborate on other educational training workshops, working with colleagues in the Education Board of the American Society for Microbiology. In the future, they hope to develop educational training opportunities in the area of functional genomics where ideas from the analysis of DNA sequences are tested at the lab bench.
