A Christmas Message from the President To t h e Emmanuel College community:

The Season of Advent which begins December 3rd is the season of Emmanuel, our God with us. It is the beginning of the new year for the Catholic Church and a time of joy­ful anticipation of the birth of Jesus. As Cbristians throughout the world prepare for this joyous celebration, we join with many peoples of the world, represented on our Emmanuel campus, in celebrating this special time of year. We join with our Jewish colleagues and classmates in cele­brating Hanukkah, a 2100 yea r-old commemoration of the quest for freedom and the miracle of faith. At this time of year we also celebrate Kwanza, a tribute to African American culture and traditions, and Ramadan, the sacred period of fasting for all Muslims.

At Emmanuel as a college community our diverse cultures and customs converge. We respect our differences and cele­brate our commonality throughout the year, and particular­ly during this special season. I encourage all Emmanuel stu­dents, faculty and administration of many faith traditions to join in the College's celebrations of Christmas and the holi­day season. Together, we become a stronger, more unified communitY.

The new year of 2001 will bring new and exciting changes to Emmanuel. After the Christmas break preliminary signs of construction will go up, as the back portion of the cam­pus is prepared to make way for the new Merck building. In January the Transition Team will present its preliminary findings for admitting young men in the fall, after working hard to examine all of the issues and to address them thoughtfully. The new, improved and modernized Library Lecture Hall is scheduled to open in January as the finest facility of its kind in the Colleges of the Fenway. On May 11th we will celebrate the offici al groundbreaking for our new suite-style residence halls, with construction to begin immediately thereafter on the first phase of the project. And then, in September, we will welcome the first tradition­al undergraduate young men to attend Emmanuel College in our 82-year history. As we make this transition, let me

'emphasize how proud I am of our students and alumnae. Change is never easy, but Emmanuel alumnae and students have in large measure understood the changing environment and supported the College's decision to become coeduca­tiona l. Th is fa ll I have traveled from Cape Cod to New York, from Boston to Worcester to Springfield, and from Rhode Island to Washington D.C. to meet with many alum­nae groups and share Emmanuel's plans. I am so grateful for the understanding and support of our graduates. I a lso want to thank all of our students, faculty, administra tors and staff for your support and participation in the process to prepare to admit young men alongside our women undergraduates next fall. Working together, we will build on our strengths as we move forward to enhance the educa­tional mission of Emmanuel for all of our current and fu ture students.

As a college community, we have much to be thankful for and much to look forward to in ' the coming year. As the fall semester comes to a close, I want to thank each and everyone of you as members of the Emmanuel College community for a ll of your contributions to the vitality of the College. Each of you contributes your unique talents to Emmanuel's educational mission and influences the College's future success.

During this Season of Advent, let us take the time to appre­ciate each other and our diversity, and let us give thanks for our special college community. May Emmanuel, our God­with-us, bless our College and all who work and .Jearn here, at Christmas and th roughout the new year.

Sincerely yours,

Sister Janet Eisner, SND , President

Winter, a character in a May Sarton novel written 40 years ago about life at a small New England college, Professor Cash talked about the similarities and differences of teaching today with her characteristic wit and wisdom. Relating how teachers are sometimes undervalued, Cash stated that "What I do know is that we do arguably the most important and least appreciated job in the world, and I believe we do it because we know how to do it, and because it needs to be done, whatever the risks, whatever the pay, whatever the consequences, and that for the most part, we do it with love."

Concluding her remarks Louise Cash referred back to Dr. Lucy Winter's excla­mation that teachers "take on the role of psychoanalyst, parent, friend ... God knows what! You laugh, but it's hell!" Louise Cash left the captivated audience with a parting wish. "If there is some­thing I cou ld wish you all tonight, I would wish you the greatest gift an edu­cator might bestow on her students: I wish you the gift of ... continued on page 7

Transition Team

The Tranjition'Tea% co-cli.a ed p-Y Sr. Patl' cia Joh son, $ND, Vice Preslde:v.t of Academic A:ffairs, Pa tricia Rissmeyer,Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students, and Jen Tobin '02, SGA President, is continuing work in plann ing for next fa ll when the College admits young men. The Transition Team has been divided into six subcommittees addressing the following issues: 1) H ousing and Residence Life; 2) Student Life Environment; 3) Academic Environment; 4 ) Athletics; 5) Traditions; and 6) Recruitment. The sub-committees are soliciting feedback from the community on a variety of issues. For example, there was a survey completed by residence hall stu­dents on Wednesday, November 15,2000 in the St. Joseph Hall Foyer regarding visi­tation and residence halls for next year. The Transition Team is establish ing times to visit other colleges in the area that have either recently gone coed, or that are coed Catholic Colleges, so that we can learn from other campuses about how to be most successful. The goal of the Transition Team is to involve the community in this important process. The team has estab­lished an on-line conference titled "Transition Issues" to communicate with students, faculty and staff. Members of the Emmanuel community should find this icon on their desk tops. Anyone interested in becoming involved in the process should contact Sr. Pat Johnson, Dr. Rissmeyer or Jen Tobin by email.

Campus News Emmanuel Students Participate in the City-Year Serve-a-thon

By Sr. Patricia McSharry, SND, Director of Campus Ministry

On Saturday morning, October 28, 47 Emmanuel students crawled out of their beds to meet in St. Joseph's Foyer at 6:45 am. Their mission that day was to join with over 3000 other volunteers to give service to numer­ous churches, schools and social services agencies throughout the City of Boston. These students, under the direction of Rebecca Gallo, Coordinator of Community Service in the Campus Ministry Office, are continuing the long-standing Emmanuel tradition of ser­vice to the wider community.

The Emmanuel students provided service to three sites: The Strand Theater and Pilgrim Church in Upham's Corner, Dorchester, and to the Neighborhood Development Corporation of Jamaica Plain. In each of these places, they provided physical labor to clean up, spruce up and do the overall fall cleaning.

Upon returning from service, a pasta dinner and reflection period followed in St. Joseph's Foyer, lead by

Sr. Pat McSharry. Daniella Picariello '04, commented, "They put us

right into the community, and the people from the com­munity were working right beside us - seeing that you are making a difference and seeing the little children's eager­ness to help, saying things like "oh - I'm going to water the plants." We really got with the people and really got to see their appreciation. It was their excitement - a spark in them to realize that they can do something to better their lives."

Katie Foley, '04, says, "I'm a freshman so I didn't know anything about the Serve-A-Thon. Some of my friends did it last year and said it was really fun, and I like doing community service, so that's why I went. I was at the Strand Theater. I didn't even know about the place until they showed us a video about what they do and how they don't have a lot of funding, and they rely on volunteer work. They have a lot of programs there

and they need people to help them. It felt good to help them. "

Recognition and certificates of appreciation were dis­tributed to Project Coordinators: Jenny McIsaac '02, Bobbie Kumangai '02, and Heather Hissong '02, and Team Captains Danielle Tice '03 , Danielle Dias '03, Stephanie Barney '03, Catherine Hahesy '02, Rouba Youssef '02, Tanya Brennan '04, Daniella Picariello '04, Rachel Zaitz '02, and Maryann Ziemba '03 .

We want to thank all those who helped to make this a successful venture including Bon Appetit who provided the meal, Barnes and Nobles who provided a $25 gift certificate and an Emmanuel sweatshirt, Minahan Companies who provided a generous monetary donation, and all others who made donations.

the Community

Sixteen members of Emmanuel's faculty and administration were inducted as Eucharistic Ministers at the October 19th Memorial Mass. These generous members of the college community devote time each week to visiting patients at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center and offering them the Holy Eucharist. Now in its third year, this success­ful volunteer program is sponsored by the Campus Ministry and Counseling Offices. Emmanuel's team of Eucharistic Ministers vis­its hundreds of patients who are grateful for the opportunity to receive the sacrament dur­ing their stay in the hospital. These members of the Emmanuel community are making a positive difference in the community.

During her lecture Kip Tiernan praised the courageous career of Sister Marie Augusta Neal in her fight for the poor and the oppressed. Sister Marie Augusta Neal is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Emmanuel College. Kip Tiernan also cited the courageous lives of several other women in ministry, comparing their calling and struggle for equality and justice to the life of Jesus Christ. She concluded that "this fierce and lonely passionate jour­ney we have selected will have a short shelf life if we do not constantly remember and act upon what we have been taught by our teachers, like Sister Marie."

J ourneys--Women in Ministry," Kip Tiernan, a well­respected activist for social justice in the Boston commu­nity, acknowledged the central role of Sister Marie Augusta Neal in awakening her own call to social action. She recalled a night in 1978, four years after she began Rosie's Place to aid the homeless, "when truth became a clarion call" during a lecture by Sister Marie. Tiernan said that" it was like being hit by a lightening bolt" when Sister Marie exclaimed "yes of course, we must alleviate

Off The Wall: Painted Constructions An Exhibit by Mary Sherman Opens in the Lillian Immig Gallery

"Off the Wall'; Mary Sherman

Starting in mid November, Mary Sherman will be exhibiting" Off the Wall: Painted Constructions" in the Lillian Immig Gallery. In her solo show at Emmanuel, Mary Sherman is exhibiting a large scale painted construction/installation entitled, Godzilla (Reduced to Frames). Interestingly, Sherman was trained as a traditional figurative painter. However, in this work she is examining what painting is and what it can be. Large-scale empty painting frames are piled up to form a tall monster like shape, hence the title of the work. The frames are painted in the primary colors and are coated in vi(l,Cp.ish or sawdust. Sherman has also painted small chemical formulas on to the frames to draw the viewer further into the epgulfing work. This is the first time this installation has been exhibited in the Boston area. A reception for the opening of the exhibit was held on Wednesday, November 15th from '6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Mary Sherman's work will be on display through December 14th, 2000. The Lillian Immig Gallery is open Monday through Friday, from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. Anyone interested in viewing Sherman's work can also schedule an appointment by calling 735- 9992.

Attention Students: Join Kaleidoscope and Prepare for Your Future

By Danielle A. Radford '01

As a writer, it is hard to imag­ine a career that would include anything but this art. And, as a Communications major, it is hard to imagine not being involved in the student publication here at Emmanuel. The newsmagazine, Kaleidoscope, has become a daily part of my schedule. As the editor, I am always on the lookout for news leads, feature stories, art or literature to include, and I am on the lookout for new staff.

The current staff does not con­sist only of Communications majors, but instead is a representa­tion of the diversity we are privi­leged to be a part of at this small, liberal arts college. Yet it amazes me to think that there are students out there, some who want to pur­sue journalism or other fields in writing, who do not think it is

necessary to be involved in their school's publication. It is a fact that employers expect that Communications or Journalism majors will have graduated with some experience on their school's publication.

Now is the chance for you to become involved! This is a great opportunity for you to not only beef up your resume, but also to get some real, hands on experi­ence at a working publication. This is not limited to writers, but includes anyone who feels they have something to say, such as artists, graphic designers, poets, etc. So, contact us today, and start making a difference on your campus. This is your publica­tion, your chance for some "real­world" experience, your oppor­tunity to make an impact.

Those who are interested in

becoming a part of the

Kaleidoscope staff, or just wish to

contribute (this includes staff and

alumnae, too), please email us at

Kaleidoscope@emmanuel.edu.

Or, stop by our open office hours

every Wednesday from 10-11am,

held in the Publications Office

(plaza level of the Administration

Building). We look forward to

seeing you there!

Fall Update Fro~ The Internships & Career Development Office

We are happy with our success in placing students with internships and career-related, paid part-time posi­tions. Currently, we have students participating in fall internships at many companies and organizations such as Arnold Communications, CBS BostonIWBZ-Channel 4 News, Campusnut.com, J Magazine, Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus, 'Brigham & Women's Hospital, Franciscan Children's Hospital, Boston Lyric Opera and The Office of Travel & Tourism for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are continuing to add to our internship database with a goal of obtaining more PAID internship opportunities.

We are also conducting constant employer outreach to be able to offer more career-related part-time jobs available throughout the school year. This fall we implemented a job listing service through our First Class E-mail system. Emmanuel students can log into their email account and find a sampling of job listings, internship opportunities and career fair events and pro­grams! This "HOT JOBS from IICD" conference has received good feedback from students. We've noticed that students are checking the listings on a regular basis and have obtained part-time paid career related jobs at Big SisterlLittle Sister Association of New England, Mad Science Jobs of Boston, Shilts Chiropractic, Bright Horizons Childcare and Children's Hospital. We feel this has been an effective way to communicate to stu­dents about what's out there and how they can enhance their careers. For more information call or stop by the Internship and Career Development Office on the plaza level of the Administration Building (264-7794).

All Souls Day Mass

The Emmanuel Chapel was filled with alumnae and members of the college community on Thursday, November 2, 2000, for the All Souls Day Liturgy. Over 200 alumnae from all over Massachusetts joined in the Liturgy which was followed by a reception in the Emmanuel Auditorium. Laura Grande '02 was the soloist for the Liturgy. Her beautiful voice contributed greatly to the sense of warmth and community during the Liturgy, which was celebrated by Father Richard Clancy.

Whatever he does- delivering a cup of tea in the dining hall to a faculty member, scooping out garlic mashed potatoes to a student or playing the organ at a staff member's wedding, Jeffrey does so with competence, style and gracious­ness. If food is the heart of the kitchen and kitchen is the heart of the home, this catering manager is darn close to the heart of Emmanuel College. It is with gratitude for all that Jeffrey has done for the Emmanuel College community that we are pleased to recognize him with the Campus Life Award.

Patricia Rowley '02

Consistently, Patricia Rowley has been a contribut­ing member of our campus, having served as a gen­eral member of the Student Life Activities Committee and an Orientation Leader.

A Presidential Scholar, Dean's List member, and Boston resident, Patricia was selected by the College to support the College Master Plan, first before the Boston Redevelopment Authority and second before the Zoning Commission. Patricia'~ passionate and sin­cere remarks contributed significantly to the favor­able outcome; both boards voted positively to sup­port the College Master Plan. For Patricia's superb representation of the student body and the College, Emmanuel College is proud to recognize her with a Campus Life Award.
