The University’s annual Academic Convocation featured the presentation of Distinguished Faculty Awards, Pillars of FDU awards for outstanding staff and Presidential Citations.
During the convocation, which officially commemorates the start of the new academic year, Elise Salem, associate provost, global learning (Metro/Flor), delivered the keynote address, titled “Outside Education: Where Is the World?”
In addition, President J. Michael Adams delivered remarks that spoke to his recent bout with lymphoma. He thanked the University community for its encouragement and support, which he said, “continually reinforced and sustained” him and “played an important role in my recovery.” He added that his treatments are nearly over and “I am feeling stronger each day.”
Adams said that his recent experiences reinforced for him the fact that the “most important things in life aren’t things … the most important things are people.” The illness also gave him an added appreciation for the values of FDU. He said, “FDU has a history and enduring spirit of service, humanity and helping others reach their full potential. I’ve personally experienced that outpouring.”
Adams referred to key developments that illustrate the University’s progress, including the successful bid for reaccreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education; enrollment increases, particularly among first-time, full-time, four-year freshmen; and notable fund-raising milestones, including the fact that “the past fiscal year was the most successful fund-raising year in the entire history of the University” and the early success of the initial phase of a $50-million capital campaign, with nearly $21 million pledged.
He also noted that other institutions have increasingly followed FDU’s lead and incorporated global commitments within their missions. “We must continue to integrate global learning throughout the FDU curriculum. This will further distinguish our institution. But more importantly it will give our students the tools to excel in a global age where opportunities and challenges cross borders at will.”
The president said he looks forward “with confidence and enthusiasm to this year together and many years to come … I cherish this community, its people, its values, its ideals and its future.”
Salem opened her keynote address by discussing her experiences in Lebanon this summer. She was visiting her native land when war broke out, and she was forced to evacuate Beirut and journey to a refugee camp in Cyprus. “We don’t train for this in graduate school,” she said. “The experiences of war are so far outside education that we must acknowledge that education has to become something it is not.”
An important goal of education, said Salem, is making the connections to other parts of the world. “To educate is to draw out, to become something you are not, to go outside yourself, to confront, to understand ideas that you didn’t invent, to put to use people you’ve never met, to inhabit a world elsewhere that becomes part of your world.”
She added, “Part of the job of an educator is to introduce you to those worlds. And those worlds are not so elsewhere anymore. They are, in fact, very close by, already implicating us, shaping us in ways of which we’re conscious, and not so conscious.”
Education, Salem said, can provide “a way outside of the constraints of government and public opinion. And a university is that rare site where active engagement, vocal and impassioned questioning and even dissent, should be encouraged.”
There are many ways faculty can educate students about the world, Salem said. “We do it by transgressing, by moving across traditional boundaries, by going beyond dichotomies, beyond categories of fixed identities. We do it by looking way past the ‘you’re either with us or against us’ mentality.”

Three faculty members were presented Distinguished Faculty Awards for their outstanding contributions to the classroom, the University and their fields. The Distinguished Faculty Award for Service was given to Gretchen Gibbs, psychology (Metro). The Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching was presented to M. Patricia Warunek, biological sciences, and director, University Honors Program (Metro). The Distinguished Faculty Award for Research and Scholarship was won by Peter Woolley, political science (Flor) and director, PublicMind.
The Pillars of FDU Awards are annually presented to nonfaculty who have made “extraordinary contributions” to the University. The 2006 recipients were Carol Creekmore, director, enrollment services (Flor); Laura Grant, associate director, enrollment services (Flor); Linda Lanigan, special assistant to the campus provost (Metro); and Mary Ann Meola, administrative assistant, Educational Opportunity Fund (Metro).
In addition, President Adams awarded Presidential Citations, which recognize faculty, staff or administrators who have led innovative programs or processes and helped provide students with new opportunities to achieve a global education. This year’s recipients were Martin Green, English, interim chair, English, communication and philosophy and assistant campus provost for planning and assessment (Flor); Elizabeth Noonan, executive assistant to the president and secretary to the Board of Trustees (Metro); and Diane Wentworth, psychology and chair, psychology (Flor). These individuals were recognized for their leadership roles in the University’s recently successful bid for reaccreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Noonan and Wentworth were co-chairs of the Steering Committee, while Green edited the self-study.

Quotes from President J. Michael Adams’ latest book will soon adorn the walls of the United Nations in a collaborative exhibit. The excerpts from Adams’ book Coming of Age in a Globalized World: The Next Generation, co-written with Angelo Carfagna, director, communications (Metro), will be featured alongside the powerful work of acclaimed photographer Steve McCurry.
Titled “Afghan Children and the Next Generation,” the exhibit will open on Tuesday, October 31, in the United Nations Lobby, New York City. It will showcase about 40 McCurry photos that depict the face of today’s Afghanistan, particularly through the eyes of its children. McCurry is perhaps best known for his haunting photograph of the green-eyed Afghan girl that was featured on the cover of National Geographic in 1985.
McCurry has focused in depth on Afghanistan, and his photography has brought to light the critical need to educate the next generation of Afghan children. In addition, his foundation, ImagineAsia, helps children in rural Asian communities by addressing fundamental education and health-care needs.
“When I look into the eyes of the children of Afghanistan, I see a tough, hearty race full of dignity and fortitude,” McCurry said. “Life in Afghanistan is often harsh and unforgiving, but its people accept the challenge with resilience. My hope for the children of Afghanistan, and anywhere else, is that all are given a solid primary education and are provided adequate health care. Every child has the right to those two basic things.”
Adams and Carfagna’s book, which examines globalization, explores global education and considers the case for world citizenship, also features McCurry’s photos on its cover.
“We are honored and excited to collaborate with an artist as talented as Steve McCurry,” Adams and Carfagna said. “We believe this exhibit has great potential to focus the world’s attention on the plight of Afghan children and to help connect the threads that tie all of humanity.”
The exhibit will be displayed from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is free, and entrance to the United Nations is via the visitors’ entrance on First Avenue at 46th Street.

Dining in the Gilded Age was a treat for both the eye and the palate. On Sunday, October 29, Friends of Florham invite the public to discover “Dining in the Gilded Age” with David Breslauer, executive director of Macculloch Hall Historical Museum, Morristown, N.J., and Jeffrey Gourley, executive chef, Gourmet Dining Services (Flor), at 3 p.m., in Lenfell Hall, the Mansion, College at Florham.
“Florham,” the Vanderbilt-Twombly estate that is now the College at Florham, was the site of many lavish dinners during the Gilded Age, and that same Mansion is the setting for the presentations and reception.
In his demonstration “The Menu of the Twombly Table,” Gourley will use the cookbook of Florence Vanderbilt Twombly’s chef, Joseph Donon, as a starting point to discuss the dinner parties and menus of the Gilded Age.
Gourley is a member of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, one of the world’s premier gourmet societies. It was founded in Paris and traces its roots to 1248. The society’s United States headquarters is at the College at Florham. Currently with Gourmet Dining, Gourley was previously banquet chef at the four-star Ritz-Carlton Hotel in McLean, Va. He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.
Breslauer’s presentation, “Dinner Table to Auction Block: A Gilded World Sold,” will include pieces of the Crown Derby dinnerware sold at auction at Florham and purchased by the museum. He will discuss the Florham auction and some notable items from that sale. The “Treasures from Florham,” a checklist for the 2005 exhibit at the museum of items purchased in the auction, will be distributed.
David Breslauer has been the executive director of the Macculloch Hall Historical Museum since 1995. He has curated a number of exhibits, included those on Thomas Nast and New Jersey Stoneware as Artful Goods. Previously, Breslauer was the executive director of the Red Mill Museum, Clinton, N.J. He earned his MAT-museum education degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

‘Indians’ to be Staged
“Indians,” Arthur Kopit’s 19th-century groundbreaking drama about violence toward American Indians, will be staged in Dreyfuss Theater, Dreyfuss Building, College at Florham, from Wednesday, November 15, through Saturday, November 18, at 8 p.m., with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, November 19.
First produced in 1968, this ensemble takes the audience back in time to discover the lives of legendary figures like William “Buffalo Bill” Cody and famous Native American’s such as Sitting Bull and Geronimo. This play gives justice to Americans native people and tells a different side, often not heard, about how the West was won.
“Indians” continues to charm audiences because of its approach to a subject that is not too often explored, due to the myths that are still believed about cowboys and Indians. The characters portrayed in this play are both compelling and challenging. In the movie adaptation by Robert Altman in 1976, titled “Buffalo Bill and Indians or Sitting Bull’s History Lesson,” stars such as Paul Newman and Harvey Keitel explored the boundaries between heroes, hypocrisy and illusion.
Ticket prices are $5 for students and the FDU community and $10 for all others. Tickets can be booked in advance by calling 973-443-8644 (ext. 4) or purchased at the door. For further information contact Stephen Hollis, 973-443-8467 or hollis@fdu.edu.

Silberman College of Business
Ranked Seventh Nationally for Entrepreneurship
The Silberman College of Business has been recognized as one of the top business schools in America for entrepreneurship. In the annual ranking of top entrepreneurship programs done by The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine, FDU’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program placed seventh out of more than 700 schools surveyed. In addition, the graduate entrepreneurship program ranked 19th.
The results of this survey can be found in the October 2006, issue of Entrepreneur Magazine and are viewable at http://www.entrepreneur.com/topcolleges .
Fairleigh Dickinson’s program achieved this ranking through a survey that included questions on mentoring, experiential learning, course offerings, alumni successes and career prospects of current students. Highly ranked schools demonstrated a commitment to entrepreneurship both inside and outside the classroom and had faculty, students and alumni actively involved and successful in entrepreneurial endeavors.
“With the strong support of the Silberman College, we have integrated entrepreneurship into the curriculum and offer courses for nonbusiness students as well,” said James Barrood, executive director, entrepreneurial studies. For almost 20 years, the Rothman Institute has been a leader in offering majors on both the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as in offering a comprehensive list of courses.
“This recognition would not have been possible without the outstanding teaching, service, mentoring and research of our faculty and staff,” Barrood said. The institute complements the academic programs with a full range of community outreach programs including seminars, business plan development programs, innovation workshops, mentoring initiatives, recognition events and high school programs — designed to help people succeed.
According to Barrood, the national ranking is a tribute to the innovative programs offered to students, entrepreneurs, executives, family businesses and the community. “As we have for the past 17 years, we will continue to foster entrepreneurship and innovation and help create future business leaders and a stronger, more successful New Jersey economy,” he said.

Anthony J. Petrocelli College of Continuing Studies
Online News
Degree completion, additional funds and Cypriot information sessions top the news of Petrocelli College’s online programs.
The Office of Online Programs recently announced that 24 students completed the requirements for the bachelor of arts in individualized studies (BAIS) degree. The graduates are from Florida, New York, Vermont, Ohio, California, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and include former FDU students from both campuses that relocated without completing their degrees as well as students enrolled in the online program for Booz Allen Hamilton employees.
Petrocelli College has received a grant of more than $452,000 from the Department of Defense through the National Guard Bureau to develop an online undergraduate certificate in disaster and emergency management as part of the BAIS program. This is the fourth consecutive grant that has been received with a total amount of approximately $2 million. The first grant was used to develop online graduate certificates in global security and terrorism studies and emergency management administration (2003–2004). The second grant helped develop an online graduate certificate in computer security and forensic administration (2004–2005). The third was used to create an online undergraduate certificate in transit security and safety administration (2005–2006).
Paulette Laubsch, administrative science (Metro), traveled to Cyprus with Christopher Capuano, director, psychology (Metro), and Barbara Heissenbuttel, associate director, international/graduate admissions (Metro), to conduct a series of information sessions for Cypriots. Regionally approved by KYSATS (Cypriot Council for the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications), the School of Administrative Science’s 30-credit, off-campus and online graduate program will be offered in this strategic area of the world beginning in spring 2007.
Administrative Science Updates
On September 15, the State of New Jersey’s Human Resource Development Institute (HRDI) and the University’s School of Administrative Science conferred Certified Public Manager (CPM) designations to 121 public managers and supervisors. William “Pat” Schuber, administrative science (Metro), was the keynote speaker. Kenneth Vehrkens, dean, Petrocelli College (Metro/Flor), and Ronald Calissi, executive associate dean, off-campus programs, Petrocelli College (Metro/Flor), joined Harry Baker from HRDI in presenting the certificates.
Fairleigh Dickinson University has provided the upper levels of the CPM program since 1999, when it was awarded the contract as a result of a competitive bid process. The program is divided into two levels, with the state providing the lower levels that consist of one day of instruction a week over a 15-week period, and Fairleigh Dickinson University providing the upper levels that consist of one day of instruction a week over 24 weeks. The CPM program is a national program that must meet specific content criteria for certification. More than 25 states currently have the program, and a number of other states are in the process of implementing the program.
Executive Associate Dean Ronald Calissi recently attended a graduation ceremony at the Kilmer Central Performance Center in Edison, N.J., where 16 U.S. postal supervisors and managers received 18-credit undergraduate Certificates in Leadership Administration from School of Administrative Science. These professionals successfully completed selected bachelor of arts in individualized studies courses. The school also conducts classes at two other U.S. postal facilities, the New Jersey International Bulk Mail Center in Jersey City and the Northern New Jersey District Center in Newark.

University College: Arts • Sciences • Professional Studies
‘Tight Space’ Showcase
“Tight Space,” the photography, painting and sculpture of artists Stuart Nicholson and Karni Dorell, is on exhibit through November 3 at University College Art Gallery, Room 11, University Hall, Metropolitan Campus, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The safe and the sentimental are eliminated in the work of photographer Karni Dorell. When the familiar and the connected are eliminated, viewers are reminded of how much they yearn for a feeling of belonging. There is a silhouetted figure — with no way to tell what it is wearing or even its gender. It is simply the human condition. Dorell’s photographs exclude connections to the human family as well as to the history of photography. What is left is an intense humanness. The photographs in this exhibit reflect her aesthetic of “outsiderness.”
Stuart Nicholson, having studied Eastern philosophy and religion as it applies to the development of Western art, is concerned with the conceptual density of contemporary culture. “This translates,” he said, “into the visual and artistic elements through the use of different materials in a layering combined with paint and digitally retouched images.”
Nicholson’s work has precedents in graffiti, computer multitasking, the sights and sounds of urban culture or the local culture colliding with media accessibility on a global scale. “The images of warfare can combine with a girl at play,” he said, “and the idea may create in the viewer the feeling of being the observer.”
Both artists have exhibited widely in New York City and hold MFA degrees from Pratt Institute.
The next University Gallery exhibit will be “Workshop in Japanese Woodcut Techniques” by printmaker April Vollmer, from Monday, November 6, through Friday, December 1.

Amber Flynn Charlebois
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
College at Florham
How long have you been at FDU?
I started this semester, September 2006.
One of the things I have in my refrigerator all the time is …
… a carton of Starbucks Chai, and in the freezer is a container of vanilla ice cream. These are my comfort foods.
What book or film did you recently enjoy? Why would you recommend it?
I saw “Click” with Adam Sandler, and it touched me because it made me realize that in a sense I was living my life in fast-forward mode, and that I needed to take time to stop and smell the flowers.
Something I’ve always wanted to learn is …
… quilting, and someday I will not only learn how, but I will make a beautiful quilt. One can dream, right?
I collect …
… cows (I prefer the black/white Holsteins, but really any cow will do) to decorate my kitchen and boxes, ranging from small jewelry-type boxes to large antique trunks.
Things that brighten my day are …
… the smiles and laughter of my two little boys, Steven (4 years old) and Matthew (18 months) and the look on a student’s face as the light bulb illuminates over his/her head as a concept becomes clear.
Complete the phrase: People would be surprised to know that I …
… was Wyoming County Dairy Princess during my senior year of high school. With the title came many public appearances where I promoted milk and other dairy products.
What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt, and what profession would you want nothing to do with?
I think I would be a great chiropractor, but I have no interest in being an accountant.
Ernest “Bub” Kovacs
Assistant Professor of Adminstrative Science
Metropolitan Campus
How long have you been at FDU?
I started [working] full time in September. However, I have been teaching graduate classes in the MAS or MPA program since 1994, and since 2000, the Certified Public Manager program. In 2002, I co-directed a graduate class on global leadership in Barcelona, Spain.
If you could meet anyone in the world, whom would you pick? Why?
Ellen MacArthur, [English sailor] who recently completed a solo circumnavigation of the world that also broke the time record. I admire people who set very high goals and achieve them; particularly when they do so independently.
One of the things I have in my refrigerator all the time is …
… ice-cold cans of Fresca, that 1970s icon of citrus effervescence. It is difficult to find, and I have several friends who purchase it whenever they find it on the shelf.
What book or film did you recently enjoy? Why would you recommend it?
Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat. I am using it in several of my graduate classes and the CPM program. I am asking how public and not-for-profit managers can use the lessons of global technology to change their organizations. I think that the lessons to be learned regarding reducing barriers and jurisdictions have not been yet learned by many managers.
I recently saw the movie “North Country” regarding the first successful class-action sexual harassment suit. It was about women who became miners in Minnesota. Very difficult to watch and very powerful.
Something I’ve always wanted to learn is …
… how to develop my artistic side. I can barely draw a stick figure, and while I’ve taken classes in art, I just don’t seem to see what others do in art.
I collect …
… carved ducks and duck prints, trivets, old bottles and wooden candlesticks.
Things that brighten my day are …
… the first few minutes of each class that I teach. I get a tremendous adrenalin rush every start of a class.
Complete the phrase: People would be surprised to know that I …
… am a National Public Radio addict. I am particularly fond of “Car Talk” and have had my picture taken at the offices of Click and Clack, at the firm of Dewey Cheatum and Howe in Cambridge, Mass., our fair city.
What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt, and what profession would you want nothing to do with?
I would enjoy carpentry. I enjoy the smell of freshly cut wood, particularly cedar. I would avoid any profession that would have me spending considerable time in confined spaces.
Neena Philips
Associate Professor of Biological Sciences
Metropolitan Campus
How long have you been at FDU?
Since the start of fall 2006.
If you could meet anyone in the world, whom would you pick? Why?
My dad, who has passed on. He is the basis to everything I was, am and will be.
One of the things I have in my refrigerator all the time is …
… coffee grind.
What book or film did you recently enjoy? Why would you recommend it?
Letters for Emily by Cameron Wright, for its life-lessons and reminder of my dad’s wisdom to me. Also, Death and Dying by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, for its insight into the detachment of a dying person from his or her environment.
Something I’ve always wanted to learn is …
… technological advances in my field — biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology.
I collect …
… insights, poems, wisdom, thoughts.
Things that brighten my day are …
… harmony between people.
Complete the phrase: People would be surprised to know that I …
… was a principal scientist at Chanel, chose to remain in teaching and miss Chanel sometimes. Also, people would be surprised to know that I value my mom’s strength and advice.
What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt, and what profession would you want nothing to do with?
I would attempt writing nonfiction or nonscience, based on my life experience. I would not want to be in professions that need physical strength or labor for I prefer reading, writing and teaching.
Frederic Stiner, Jr.
Professor of Accounting
College at Florham
How long have you been at FDU?
Three weeks.
If you could meet anyone in the world, whom would you pick? Why?
There are a number of people I would enjoy meeting. Being in business, it would be nice to have a conversation with someone who created a new industry, such as Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs [Apple founders] or Jeff Bezos [Amazon.com founder and CEO], or this year’s successes, Steven Chen and Chad Hurley [YouTube cofounders]. However, I am also interested in history, so I would like to meet Margaret Thatcher. Together with President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, Lady Thatcher’s leadership, wisdom and courage ended the Cold War.
One of the things I have in my refrigerator all the time is ...
… sodas for when children and grandchildren visit.
What book or film did you recently enjoy? Why would you recommend it?
I do my nonprofessional “reading” when commuting, listening to books on tape. Although the book appeared in 2000, I recently “read” Erik Larson’s Isaac’s Storm about the 1900 Galveston Hurricane that killed more than 10,000 people. The Weather Bureau knew the storm was coming but, through bureaucratic fighting between agencies, didn’t warn the Gulf Coast. Weather Bureau and Army officials in Cuba dismissed warnings from Cuban meteorologists, even forbidding the Cubans from using the telegraph to send warnings. The survivors’ stories recount the terror of the storm. After thousands perished, local and national Weather Bureau officials lied that adequate warning was given. Gullible media believed the government and sensationalized the story. State rescue efforts were inadequate. Incompetent local officials later portrayed themselves as heroes and victims. I would recommend it as a warning against building cities in a hurricane-prone area without adequate levee protection and as a study on how politicians and government employees acted in their own self-interest while posturing as knowledgeable and helping. It’s also a caution against believing sensational stories in the media and scientists who proclaim that scientists can accurately forecast the future because they have indisputable data and brilliant mathematical models.
Something I’ve always wanted to learn is ...
… how to sail.
I collect ...
… accounting journals. I have more than 30 years’ worth, and just can’t bring myself to throw out the oldest ones because they are not in electronic databases. I am disappointed to see that many literature reviews in scholarly papers end in the late 1980s when electronic databases began; apparently some young scholars believe no knowledge was created before the invention of databases.
Things that brighten my day are ...
Aside from enjoying my activities as a professor, some things I enjoy are going for a walk in the morning, reading the newspaper, talking to one of my children or grandchildren and working in the garden. Any day that the Orioles win is an excellent day.
Complete the phrase: People would be surprised to know that I ...
… have a degree in agriculture. I didn’t start a career in accounting until I was taking MBA accounting classes.
What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt, and what profession would you want nothing to do with?
I think history, anthropology and law are interesting. Before a university career, I had full-time experience with CPA firms in Virginia and Nebraska. One of the educational aspects of being a CPA is visiting different clients in different industries. Thinking back to accounting and auditing engagements with those clients, I know I could never be a roofer, make and retail waterbeds or manage an art gallery. I also could never do dentistry. These are all honorable activities, but time at those businesses crawled.
