Stellar.

Thanks to advances in telescope and digital imaging technology, astronomers are capturing breathtaking amounts of information about celestial phenomena, from extrasolar planets to colliding galaxies. Science Instructor John Blackwell and his students aren’t simply learning about these discoveries; they’re helping to pioneer them.

Through John’s participation in a NASA-funded research program, students have access to raw data collected by observatories around the world and the Kepler orbiting telescope. “Now our students can discover things for themselves,” he says. “We’re looking at galactic nuclei, we’re examining data about a star and determining whether it’s pulsating, rotating or flaring. It’s real science. That’s the excitement of it.”

“I want to drive my students’ curiosity through the roof.”—John A. Blackwell, instructor in science, chair of the Science Department and director of the Grainger Observatory

The Mount Sinai Medical Center

our era will be remembered above all for landmark

advances in the prevention and treatment of cancer,

alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, diabetes, childhood

neurodevelopmental disorders, infectious disease, and

a host of other afflictions.

When tomorrow’s historians recount the institutions

that drove the transformation, they will speak of

The mount Sinai medical Center.

Special place

intellectual curiosity. Social consciousness. The relentless

pursuit of excellence. These values have distinguished

mount Sinai since its founding in 1852 and propelled its

emergence as a world leader in research, patient care,

and education. Today mount Sinai is the site of a great

convergence — of resources, knowledge, technology, and

some of the world’s most brilliant medical minds.

Special time

in the years ahead — with your help — we will fulfill

the immense potential of medical science and achieve

momentous victories in the fight against disease

and suffering.

a gift to the Campaign for Mount Sinai will help shape the future of healthcare — and touch lives for generations to come.

Imagine doctors having the ability to

regenerate organs, to rebuild bones and

nerves. Advances such as these, unheard

of a decade ago, are now within sight. And

Mount Sinai is leading the way.

A force for progress in medicine for over

a century and a half, Mount Sinai today is

spearheading efforts to translate decades

of research into revolutionary treatments

for some of the most chronic and

intractable disorders. By recruiting more of

the world’s most talented physicians and

scientists — and providing them the ideal

conditions for innovation — Mount Sinai

will achieve the breakthroughs that will

make medical history.

A CULTURE OF GRE ATNESS

A heritage of illustrious contributions to science and medicinemount Sinai physicians and scientists have never been

content merely to provide the best available therapies.

instead they have created better ones.

Their historic innovations have shaped modern clinical care,

research, and medical education. Disorders such as Crohn’s

disease and Tay-Sachs disease, for example, are named for the

Mount Sinai physicians who first identified them. And our doctors

have led the way in some of the most trailblazing surgical

techniques of the last 25 years — from angioplasties to stenting

procedures to non-invasive laparoscopic surgeries. Such

achievements have made Mount Sinai one of the most respected

names in healthcare and secured its stature among the world’s

premier academic medical centers.

■ 1909: first textbook in geriatrics, pioneering medical care

for the elderly

■ 1915: first to describe the minimum amount of sodium citrate

needed to keep blood from clotting, paving the way for

modern blood banks

■ 1929: first successful cardiac stress test

■ 1940: new intensive short-term medical treatment for syphilis

■ 1947: first kidney dialysis in the u.S.

■ 1969: Creation of the first genetically engineered vaccine to

protect against influenza

■ 1986: development of an in vitro fertilization technique for

helping sperm cells penetrate egg cells

■ 1991: gene for marfan Syndrome identified

■ 2004: identification of the first common gene variant

linked to autism

■ 2005: The world’s first successful composite tracheal

transplant is performed, using a method that allows patients

to breathe and speak without a tracheotomy

mount Sinai “firsts”

the genesis: Mount Sinai was established at a time when Jewish patients and doctors

were excluded from the city’s private hospitals. Today Mount Sinai stands foremost among

America’s Jewish-founded medical institutions — and attracts patients, physicians, and

scientists of all backgrounds from around the globe.

10

Today: extraordinary strength, momentum, and excitementa new “golden age” is underway at mount Sinai.

Our excellent fiscal health testifies to the skill of our management

team and the foresight of their investment strategies. A steady

stream of medically relevant discoveries reflects the superb quality

of our faculty. Increasing funding from the federal government and

foundations, enhanced media coverage, rising patient volumes,

ascents in key rankings — all of these signal the world’s growing

recognition of our strengths. Moreover, our laboratories, classrooms,

operating rooms, and clinics brim with the energy of individuals

working together to change the face of medicine. The confidence

and anticipation on campus are palpable.

■ Since the founding of the Medical School in the 1960s, Mount

Sinai has risen with remarkable speed to become a top

academic medical center.

■ Mount Sinai now ranks among the top 20 recipients of National

Institutes of Health (NIH) funding; federal grants have doubled

in the last six years despite a stagnant NIH budget.

■ The 2009 U.S. News & World Report “America’s Best Graduate

Schools” issue ranked Mount Sinai 23rd among 130 American

medical schools — up from a 32nd place ranking in 2006.

■ Mount Sinai has been ranked in 10 specialties in U.S. News & World

Report’s 2008 publication of “America’s Best Hospitals,” nearly doubling

the number of specialties ranked in the previous year.

■ The Graduate School of Biological Sciences ranks among the

nation’s top 10 specialized research institutions.

■ The Medical School’s Class of 2009 includes nine M.D./Ph.D.

candidates, more than any other program in the country.

■ Mount Sinai received the second highest overall rating in

New York magazine’s 2006 “Best Hospitals” issue.

■ Mount Sinai physicians account for almost one-fifth of the

1,434 doctors listed in New York magazine’s 2008 “Best Doctors”

feature. At least one Mount Sinai doctor is represented in nearly

every specialty reviewed.

Attracting some of the world’s most brilliant and accomplished medical mindseach year mount Sinai’s faculty roster grows brighter with

more of today’s leading lights in science and medicine.

These pioneers don’t keep up with the latest knowledge in

their fields. They create it. They don’t read the most

authoritative medical textbooks. They write them. And they

are coming to Mount Sinai — often after years at some of the

world’s most prestigious institutions — because they know

it is here that they will do their greatest work. Here they will

have access to one of the most diverse patient populations

in the world, with its incalculable opportunities for recognizing,

understanding, and treating complex diseases. Here they will

find the critical mass of resources, colleagues, and facilities

to revolutionize medicine.

Chair, Department of neuroscience

Dr. Nestler was recruited to

Mount Sinai in 2008 from the

University of Texas Southwestern

Medical Center at Dallas.

Mount Sinai is one of only two institutions in the United States to

create a medical school as an outgrowth of a hospital.* Since its

founding in the 1960s, the School of Medicine has grown along

with The Hospital into a single, close-knit medical community.

The results:

a highway from the laboratory to the bedside. Every day,

Mount Sinai clinicians collaborate seamlessly with researchers to

ensure that their patients benefit from the latest discoveries.

As one physician puts it, “We bring the research to the patient

and the patient to the research.” The convergence of minds,

disciplines, and approaches around real clinical cases supercharges

innovation and leads to ever improving patient outcomes.

Fast, efficient decision-making. Unlike most other

academic medical centers, Mount Sinai does not answer to a

university — it is wholly independent. Freed from intramural

negotiations over priorities and resources, leaders are empowered

to set and carry out policies that best advance Mount Sinai’s

mission. What is more, The Hospital and School of Medicine are

governed by an integrated board of trustees and administration.

Unity at the top gives Mount Sinai the agility to respond quickly to

new needs — and seize emerging opportunities.

EXETER i n t h e WORLD : FACULTY OUTREACH

STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND THE CONNECTIONS OF TEACHERS

TO THE WORLD BEYOND THE ACADEMY

PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY

C A S E f o r S U P P O RT | FA L L 2 0 1 1

n his 1781 Deed of Gift establishing the Academy, John Phillips wrote of the school’s responsibility

to teach students “the great end and real business of living.” For over two centuries, Exeter faculty

members have honored this core commitment by teaching and exemplifying knowledge and goodness

and preparing young people to excel in college and in a host of professions and endeavors.

Today, that means preparing them to thrive in an increasingly international world. Changes in

technology and demography, the rise of powerhouse economies in China and India and elsewhere,

and burgeoning transnational issues related to climate and sustainability call for ever greater

collaboration and understanding across language, cultural and geopolitical boundaries. Businesses

and organizations in domains ranging from finance to the arts to medicine are more international

than ever.

This is the “real business” of the world

today’s students will inherit. If Exeter is to

continue to carry out its mission in the 21st

century—indeed, if it is to maintain its place

as a premier secondary school—instructors

must continue to deepen their understanding

of the forces and complex challenges that

characterize our global society.

Principal Tom Hassan is committed to educating youth from and for every quarter. To reach this

goal, it is vital that teachers from all disciplines be given the time and resources to connect with peers

beyond the Academy, enhance their teaching through firsthand encounters with other cultures and

customs, and incorporate what they learn into their syllabi, pedagogy and Harkness table discussions.

In recent years, faculty members have traveled to locations in the U.S. and abroad to develop

their expertise, share insights into Harkness-style teaching and learning, and participate in non sibi

service projects. Ideas for similar initiatives abound. What is needed is administrative direction,

logistical coordination, and funding to increase opportunities in number and scope. Our goal is

to engage as many faculty members as possible in extraordinary experiences that will be beneficial

to them and to those they teach for years to come.

We just need you.

Every parent knows: You are only as happy as your least happy child.

1 out of every 5 families in America feels the impact of psychiatric disorders.

More than 75% of these disorders are rooted in the first 2 decades of life. This is when opportunities for

healing are the greatest and intervention costs are the lowest.

Over the past 10 years the NYU Child study Center has brought answers and hope to thousands

of children and families.

Now we have the talent, technology, and science-based solutions to change the fabric of society.

A Crisis

Millions of children and adolescents go undiagnosed and untreated.

15 million American children suffer from a psychiatric or learning disorder.

That is 10 times the number of children affected by leukemia, diabetes, and AIDS combined.

There are only 6,300 practicing child and adolescent psychiatrists in the U.S., with an

estimated need of 32,000 by the year 2020.

Treatments most children receive amount to a band-aid, addressing only narrow aspects

of disorders, not root causes.

3

A reseArCh reVOlUtiON At the NYU Child study Center, we know that psychiatric disorders have

biological roots. That is why we probe them with the same scientific rigor that is ap-

plied to HIV/AIDS or Parkinson’s Disease. And the opportunities for discovery have

never been as good as they are now.

The last 15 years have seen stunning advances in non-invasive

brain-scanning techniques — a development comparable to the invention of

the microscope in the 17th century.

At the same time, the explosion of knowledge resulting from the mapping and

analysis of the human genome is supercharging our efforts to unlock the

genetic and molecular secrets of psychiatric illnesses and learning disorders.

Childhood leukemia has gone from a 20% survival rate to an 80% cure rate.

We can do the same and more for child mental health.

Truth Seek it.

Carry on a legacy of intellectual fire. As a Catholic college in the centuries-

old Dominican tradition, Providence challenges you to engage in the persistent

pursuit of truth, or “veritas.” A thought-provoking liberal arts curriculum

teaches you to see issues from every vantage point, interpret facts, build

arguments, and think with clarity and sophistication.

Heart Hear it.

Explore your interests, grow in spirit, and prepare for a life of service and

meaning. True to its Catholic, Dominican value of dynamic spirituality,

Providence College invites you to know yourself, reach out to others, and

balance freedom and responsibility.

1 1 I n P u r s u i t o f T r u t h P R O V I D E N C E C O L L E G E

“The Dominican tradition holds that the humanperson achieves its deepest identity as the image of God

through knowing the truth. This is why academic excellence is the hallmark of a Providence education and always will be.”

- – Fr. Br ian J . Shanley, O.P. , Ph.D. , Pres ident

In Pursuit of Truth

V E R I T A S

Providence College’s motto consists of one word: “Veritas,” the Latin word for “Truth.” All teaching and

learning at Providence begins with a belief in the truth – that it exists, that it is human and divine, that our

greatest duty is to seek it. This conviction, steeped in the Dominican tradition, fuels a vibrant intellectual

climate on campus. Students ask tough questions, challenge conventional wisdom, and reach and defend

their own conclusions.

Dominican teachings endure long after graduation. Providence College alumni approach issues with

reasoned, philosophical thinking that emphasizes moral and ethical insight. As leaders in a broad range

of fields, they shape the national dialogue on topics ranging from HIV/AIDS research to wildlife

preservation to international peace and justice.
