Not your run-of-the-mill graduates 607 receive diplomas at 167th commencement “Our class is not your run-of-the-mill graduating group of students,” Walker Cup recipient Matthew J. Ehinger told his classmates during DePauw’s 167th commencement on Sunday, May 21. “We have accomplished remarkable things during our tenure here. It is now time to take that and show everyone outside of DePauw University how remarkable a group we truly are.” A double major in political science and conflict studies, Ehinger was recognized as the senior student judged to have contributed the most to the University during four years at DePauw. He co-chaired the 2006 Putnam County Relay For Life, which raised more than $215,000 for the American Cancer Society; interned with U.S. Senator Richard Lugar and at the headquarters of Kiwanis International; coordinated the Indiana Reading Corps as a Bonner Scholar; chaired Student Congress; and led a Winter Term in Service team of 25 students last year to Costa Rica, where they refurbished a high school and built a community center. DePauw awarded diplomas to 607 students, one of the largest graduating classes in recent history. Evan Bayh, U.S. senator and two-term Indiana governor, delivered the commencement address on the East College lawn, and he urged the graduates to commit themselves to “renewing America’s greatness.”

Senator Evan Bayh

“Those of you who are graduating today are graduating from a great institution of higher learning – one of the greatest not only in the state of Indiana, but one of the greatest in the United States of America,” Bayh said. “You are fortunate in that fact, and I am confident that your time here at DePauw has prepared you to do not only well in the years that lie ahead in a world that is demanding a higher level of knowledge and intelligence to prosper economically, but also to do some good with your life and to understand that your own well-being is going to be defined by a whole lot more than just your narrow self-interest. This is the kind of institution that I’m confident has instilled that in you. I wish we could instill that sense in more Americans today.” DePauw awarded honorary doctorates to Sen. Bayh and George H. Aldrich ’54. Aldrich has served since 1981 as a judge on the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, which was established as part of the agreement resolving the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. His distinguished career has included working with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in negotiating the peace agreement in North Vietnam, drafting protocols to the Geneva Convention on the Laws of War in 1974, and serving as a U.S. representative at the United Nations’ Law of the Sea Conferences from 1977 to 1981. In 1980 President Carter gave Aldrich the rank of Distinguished Senior Executive, the first State Department official so honored. “When I sat in your place and was a graduate here 52 years ago, the memories of the Great Depression and the second World War and the founding of the United Nations were fresh in our minds,” Aldrich said. “On that day more than a half-century ago, the need to strengthen the relatively primitive structure of international law and international institutions was, I think, generally recognized. Today that is no longer the case. “And we see, even in our own government, very different priorities that threaten our respect for international law. I think today, just as half a century ago, our national security requires that we comply with the international law we’ve helped to create, and that we make perceptive and unrelenting efforts for the progressive development of that law and for improved compliance with it by all states.” The University also recognized faculty members who retired this year: Bernard F. Batto (1987-2006), Walter E. Bundy Professor of Religious Studies and professor of religious studies; Robert E. Calvert (1967-2006), professor of political science; J. David Field (1982-2006), professor of English; Nafhat N. Nasr (1987-2006), professor of political science; Judith A. Raybern (1974-2006), Distinguished Professor and professor of education studies; O. Ralph Raymond (1971-2006), professor of political science.

News of the University New Wellness Center provides better service for a healthier community Over the years, DePauw has adapted its health and counseling services to meet the needs of each new generation of students. The University has now combined them into one operation to better serve current students, and a new name and remodeled facility in a new location reflect the more holistic approach of DePauw’s Wellness Center. The Wellness Center’s new home is in Hogate Hall, a first-year residence hall. Remodeling created a larger and more inclusive reception area, more examination rooms and handicapped-accessible facilities. The location has led to increased use of health and counseling services by first-year students. Counseling and health services have come a long way from a start in Bowman Gym in 1939. In the 1940s, the University moved the office to the former home of Pearl O’Hair, and in 1983, to the Charter House. The space, however, became inadequate for the number of students seeking care. The move to Hogate Hall was driven, too, by a faculty and student review in 1997 that recommended health and counseling services needed a stronger relationship because the services overlapped. Today’s Wellness Center emphasizes not just treatment, but preventive care. “We want the DePauw community to know that the Wellness Center is a place of resources for not only becoming well, but staying well,” Denise Hayes, director of Counseling and Health Services, said. To provide more comprehensive service, the staff was increased by

two. A part-time psychiatrist is a resource for mental health issues and works oneon-one with students who suffer from depression or anxiety. A nutritional counselor guides students in making healthy food choices and assists students who struggle with eating disorders. The staff additions help accomplish one of the Wellness Center’s goals: providing wellIn the lab: Leslie D. Glaze, LPN (left) ness programming that integrates care and and Deborah S. Smith, medical lab technician addresses the mind-body connection. “Compared to other institutions of similar size, our health services are superior,” Hayes said. “Counseling services are comparable to many elite schools that place a high value on their students, both in and out of the classroom. Our ongoing goal is to become an integral part of the student experience.” Toward that end, the Wellness Center is investigating the possibility of a Web link through which students can schedule their appointments. An Internet “Cybervisor” allows students to submit questions anonymously and receive weekly responses from trained counselors. A student advisory board and regular feedback from students help the Wellness Center improve its services, and staff members are studying ways to better serve international students joining the University community.

News of the University Matt Walker to coach Tiger football team for 2006 season

Long

DePauw’s head football coach for the 2005 season, Tim Rogers, resigned effective June 15. Matt Walker ’99, a six-year assistant coach for the Tigers and former starting quarterback, will guide the team during the 2006 season. Robby Long, who came to DePauw in 2004 after two seasons assisting the University of Illinois football team, will serve as assistant head coach for the Black and Gold this coming season. Long will continue to serve as the director of student-athlete recruiting. “From a timing standpoint, this is very challenging, but I’m confident that our football program won’t miss a beat as it continues preparations for the 2006 season,” Page Cotton ’71, director of athletics, said. “Matt Walker is, as a coach and alumnus, a strong asset to DePauw and its athletic programs. With the assistance of Robby Long, I’m confident our players and our program will be in very good hands.”

Walker

Walker also serves as DePauw’s head baseball coach and will continue in that capacity. He led the 2001 Tigers to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference title and their first appearance in the NCAA tournament in 22 years. He joined the DePauw staff as an assistant baseball coach in the fall of 1999 and was named interim head baseball coach in mid-March 2000. Walker’s teams have posted a 171-119 record in his seven seasons. His 171 victories already rank second in school history, and his .590 winning percentage is top among all DePauw baseball coaches with at least three years experience. While a student, Walker was a three-year member of the DePauw football team, earned a varsity letter during his senior season and was a starter at quarterback as well as a special teams player. As a member of the DePauw baseball team, Walker set the single-season school record with 79 strikeouts in 1999 on the way to winning 10 games, which stands as the secondhighest season total by a DePauw pitcher. Walker earned a master’s degree from Indiana State University. Long served as a graduate assistant on the defensive line for the Illini after earning three varsity letters. He played on the 2001 Big Ten champion squad that finished with a 10-2 record and competed in the 2002 Sugar Bowl. He also played on the squad that won the 1999 Micron PC Bowl and finished with an 8-4 record. A native of Champaign, Ill., Long earned a bachelor of science of applied life degree from the University of Illinois. The Tigers posted a 7-2 record last year.

News of the University DePauw is a destination for creative students, according to new book

HP grant supports innovative uses of technology in teaching

DePauw University is named in a new book as having one of the top 200 programs in the nation for creative students in art, creative writing, dance, drama and music. Creative Colleges: A Guide for Student Actors, Artists, Dancers, Musicians and Writers provides a step-by-step guide intended to help college-bound creative students select and get into the right college for them. It was researched and written by Elaina Loveland, a former editor of the NACAC Journal of College Admission. For more information about the book, go to www.creativecollegesbook.com.

DePauw is one of 40 higher education institutions selected to receive a 2006 HP Technology for Teaching grant, which is designed to help transform and improve learning in the classroom through innovative uses of technology. Each grant recipient will use HP wireless Tablet PC technology to enhance learning in business, computer science, engineering, mathematics or science courses. Chosen from among more than 300 grant applicants, DePauw will benefit from an award package of more than $69,000 that includes HP products and project-related expenses. Directing the project at DePauw are Dave A. Berque, professor of computer science; Terri Bonebright, associate professor and chair of psychology; Carol Smith, associate chief information officer for instructional and learning services; and Scott M. Thede, associate professor of computer science.

DePauw graduates make a difference as they Teach for America A record 50 members of the Class of 2006 applied to participate in Teach for America following graduation, and a record 14 of them will spend their first two years as DePauw alumni in the national teaching corps. Through Teach for America, outstanding recent college graduates with a wide range of academic majors commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in ensuring educational equity and excellence for children. “We’re thrilled with the interest DePauw students have shown in bettering communities across America,” Hilary Lewis, TFA national recruitment director, said. The number of DePauw seniors who applied to Teach for America this year reflects growing student interest in the program: Year

The message is clear; DePauw students are very interested in making a positive difference in the world early in their lives.”

DePauw University is again one of America’s best values The 2007 edition of America’s Best Value Colleges names DePauw as one of 150 colleges offering excellent academic programs, generous financial aid packages and relatively low cost. Published by Princeton Review and based on data from administrators at 646 colleges and surveys of students attending them, the book cites DePauw’s “demanding academics,” “highly selective” admission standards and availability of merit-based financial aid awards. DePauw also was listed in the previous year’s edition. The book notes that students benefit from the University’s liberal arts curriculum, while they are attracted by DePauw’s strong programs in business, computer science and technology, media studies, the sciences and music. The book also acknowledges the caliber of students accepted by the University, and that DePauw has an uncommon number of successful alumni.

Letters to the Editor

Securing Our Legacy The spring issue of DePauw Magazine featured the University’s new five-year strategic plan, Securing Our Legacy. In conjunction with that plan, we invited alumni to share what they feel is the “legacy” they received from DePauw. In the responses below, it is clear how the DePauw experience has had a lifelong impact on the personal lives and careers of alumni. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did. – Editor ______________ I realized that DePauw’s standard for excellence was not something to

DePauw was crucial in making me a lifelong learner.

be abandoned like an old study lamp when we left Greencastle …

DePauw has always been there for me, nudging me to do a little better. DePauw gave us standards by which to measure our work – not just while we were students, but for a lifetime. This anecdote about Dr. Pence [Raymond Pence, professor of English] illustrates that point: When I entered DePauw as a freshman in the fall of 1953, I soon realized that the University’s professors demanded our best and expected nothing less. Dr. Pence led the pack, often sending us back to Rector Hall in tears with his order to revise because, “This is too good not to be better.” I went to work as a reporter at the Chicago Tribune right after my graduation in 1957. During the following Old Gold Day, I breezed up to Dr. Pence. Full of confidence and appreciation, I told him about my job and the challenge of writing to meet deadlines. “But that’s okay,” I assured him. “I can get material past the copy desk that I never could get past you.” He paused, appraising me with one of his penetrating stares. “In that case, Miss Petry,” he said solemnly, “you always pretend that you’re writing for me.” At that moment, I realized that DePauw’s standard for excellence was not something to be abandoned like an old study lamp when we left Greencastle and moved on to our careers. Since that October afternoon in 1957, I have always tried to write for Dr. Pence – and still do. – Jo (Petry ’57) Hershberger Walkerton, Ind.

As a graduate of the unique and pioneering School of Nursing, I had to divide my time between the campus and Indianapolis for the last two years. Nevertheless, DePauw made a significant impact on every aspect of my personal and professional development. DePauw was crucial in making me a lifelong learner. Its model of excellence, make-a-difference spirit and community perspective have guided my values and choices ever since. Several of the ideas that changed the way I look at the world came from DePauw classes. For example, the English Literature class discussions on Ellison’s The Invisible Man translated into my commitment to inclusion and social justice; the demographics about individuals who join the KKK from lectures in Introduction to Sociology helped me appreciate the role of one’s background in shaping life options. From the curiosity nurtured at DePauw, I always sought the broadest application of my talents. The emphasis on scholarship and leadership ultimately led me to pursue a Ph.D. and make a career shift into psychology. Last, but far from least in importance, two of my present-day closest friends are DePauw alumni. I trust that I’m far from alone in my experiences. While both the School of Nursing and my sorority house are gone from campus, the DePauw legacy is alive and well. I suspect it also lives among the many vibrant School of Nursing graduates. Let’s increase our visibility and begin a give-back process by sharing those experiences. We’d love to hear from you. Send e-mail either to alumnioffice@ depauw.edu or directly to me at [email protected]. – Karen (Olander ’68) Skerrett Oakbrook, Ill.

I received a valuable education. Valuable in the sense that my diploma has opened many doors for me in my career. I’ve been able to travel all over the world and feel competent and capable in any environment. My DePauw degree is something I will cherish forever. And I am instilling the appreciation of the same with my two children. I would be thrilled to one day have them follow me as “legacies” at DePauw. – Catherine (Shoemaker ’86) Richey Indianapolis _______________ DePauw alumni are family in every sense of the word.

“To Old DePauw we toast today.” I first heard those words in 1929 when I was a youngster of six. Our family had just moved to Greencastle, where my father had signed a contract to coach football at DePauw University. From then on, our home was open to football players, faculty and students. The players even babysat my sister, brother and me. Yes, my father was Gaumey Neal, who went on to coach the legendary 1933 team [the last unbeaten, untied, unscored upon college football team in the nation]. This team later subscribed

$2 million to build the Neal Fieldhouse in his memory. The legacy I want to write about is loyalty – the loyalty of the football players in college and in later years to our family. They would come back to the campus and stop in for a visit, if only for a short time. On football Saturdays, my mother always expected extras for dinner that evening; and there were some most Saturdays. This loyalty has always been important to our family. My father always said, “All that is important in life are family and friends. Material comforts are not important.” DePauw alumni are family in every sense of the word. That is why I proudly display my DePauw license plate on my car. I live in the hometown of Wabash College, so you know I am in the minority. Everyone knows my car. I came back in 2005 for my 60th reunion; my brother, Bob, would have celebrated his 50th, but he passed away a short time before alumni reunion weekend. My sister, Margaret (deceased) graduated in 1948. Bob’s classmates were so nice to me at the reunion. I shall never forget their graciousness and consideration. That’s what being a DePauw alum is all about: loyalty to each other. – Mary (Neal ’45) Pickel Crawfordsville, Ind.

ePauw’s five-year strategic plan, Securing Our Legacy, includes a global vision that aims to prepare DePauw students to make a positive difference in the diverse and interconnected world in which they will live and work. Although international students have enriched the DePauw community for more than a century, the realities of today’s global village demand that the University redouble its efforts to attract international students and faculty members. DePauw is already a national model for off-campus study opportunities during a Winter Term, semester or year. Many students report these experiences to be life-changing. In the following first-person articles, the importance of a renewed commitment to international education is compellingly related by five members of the DePauw community: an alumna and trustee with international credentials; a faculty member who is a leader for the international education initiative on campus; an international student for whom DePauw is study abroad; an alumna whose study experience in Freiburg, Germany, has had a lifelong impact; and a 2006 graduate who was inspired in her career goals through off-campus study.

Life in the Global Age demands it America is a paradox. Every year more Americans travel abroad; every year we receive more immigrants than the year before. Every year we import more and export more than ever before. More of our jobs are dependent on exports than ever before. More of our jobs are dependent on foreign investment than ever before. We ship our goods to more foreign destinations than ever before, and yet, we remain more uninformed and misinformed about the world than ever before. A few examples should suffice. We are fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet 85 percent of 18-24-year-olds surveyed by National Geographic could not find either country on a map. While Americans in overwhelming numbers believe that international education is a key to preparing their children for success in the global age and feel it is important for the next generation to have the opportunity to study abroad, in fact, nationally only 1 percent is able to do so. DePauw is fortunate to have far better prepared students than the nation as a whole. Despite the high cost of studying abroad and the surcharge that has been necessary to impose on studyabroad programs in order to meet the spiraling costs, nearly 50 percent of DePauw students manage to study off-campus for a Winter Term, semester or year. Nonetheless, it would be a stretch to believe that by having less than half the student body study abroad for less than an average of 10 percent of their time at DePauw, our students are prepared to live their lives as active citizens of the world. Even for those who do study in foreign countries, the experience may be limited. Nationally, nearly half of students who study abroad go to four countries in Western Europe: Britain, France, Italy and Spain. In 2004, Italy attracted more American students than all of Africa, Asia and the Middle East combined. There are still enormous gaps in the knowledge gained or the attitude change acquired in a brief foreign sojourn, particularly when most of the time is spent in the company of other American students, as is often the case. And then, there are the majority of DePauw students whose financial situations or family pressures or rigorous course requirements do not allow them to study abroad. How are they to get this rung up on the ladder of success? International education is not just a sprinkling of superficial sophistication on the educational qualifications of a young woman or man who will spend the rest of her/his life safely working and living within the borders of the United States. It’s hard to think of a state that

H

seems more safely American (whatever that means) than Indiana, and yet Indiana exported shipments of merchandise worth $21.5 billion in 2005, a 49 percent increase in five years and the 11th largest figure among the states. Indiana exported to 197 foreign destinations in 2005. In 2003, foreign-controlled companies employed 134,200 workers in Indiana, one-seventh of total manufacturing employment in the state. Major sources of Indiana’s foreign investment were Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. The conclusion here is that even Indiana depends on the world as purchaser of its goods and provider of a substantial portion of its jobs. Nearly half of DePauw students come from Indiana, but the Indiana that their great-grandparents settled, and their grandparents and parents prospered in, is not the Indiana of today, let alone of tomorrow. Hoosiers of today need a different kind of preparation to be as successful as the past generations, even if they stay at home for the rest of their lives. How is DePauw going to make a serious attempt to give the majority of the student body – those who do not study abroad – the opportunity to develop more accurate perspectives on other nations? I think one of the important strategies is to internationalize the campus. If taken seriously – and the mission to prepare today’s undergraduates to live in tomorrow’s world is a serious one – this is a major and long-term effort. President Bottoms and the board of trustees have decided that survival economically, technologically, politically in the world of the 21st century imposes the necessity to internationalize. Just as DePauw has rapidly joined the front ranks in academia with respect to technological achievements, I believe that we can become leaders in international education as well. I recently read the remarks of the former president of Ball State University, Blaine Brownell, in which he urged all higher educational institutions to integrate international education so thoroughly into their campus experience that it plays a role in the education of all students. More than a specific course, or group of courses or a single major or an experience overseas, Brownell believes that all students should be educated in a total context or environment of global knowledge and awareness that is “pervasive, that permeates all aspects of the university experience.” I agree with Brownell: In order to be effective in changing the way students look at and learn about the world, we will have to do far more than simply make an international experience available for a short period of time to a few (or even many) DePauw students. I know of no way to “bring home the world” more forcefully or more dynamically than by bringing international students to DePauw. This is not just my belief as an American who has focused her entire career on understanding the world and at some level trying to make it a better place. Americans in overwhelming numbers believe that international education is a key to preparing their children for success in the global age. They believe that foreign language skills will make their children more competitive in the job market, and they feel it is important for their children to have the opportunity to study abroad and to attend a college where they can get to know students from other countries. In a December 2005 national survey that polled more than 1,000 adults representing a broad cross-section of the American public, 90 percent said international education is important or very important to prepare future generations of Americans for a global society. In addition, 86 percent said they believe it is important for their children and grandchildren to attend a college where they can interact with and get to know students from other countries.

20

The business community has also expressed the belief that international experience is critical to success in today’s global society. According to a Committee for Economic Development study, 30 percent of large U.S. firms surveyed in 2002 believed a provincial, monolingual workforce had cost them business opportunities overseas. American business will seek to correct this deficiency either by hiring more foreigners or American students who speak foreign languages and understand the dynamics of the global marketplace. Despite the enormous strides made at DePauw in recent years to improve the campus infrastructure, faculty and opportunities offered to students for diverse experiences – with respect to an international student body – DePauw does not measure up to its comparison schools. DePauw currently has 47 foreign students, compared with 188 at Oberlin, 180 at Grinnell, 115 at the College of Wooster, 137 at Colby and 262 at Macalester. Imagine the difference in a classroom dialogue or a late-night bull session in a living unit, when U.S. students have an opportunity to interact with fellow DePauw students from different lands. It was more than 40 years ago that I was a student, and I have long forgotten his name, but I will never forget the conversations I shared with a fellow student from Zimbabwe, then called Rhodesia, who had been actively involved in the struggle for independence in his country. We stayed up late (almost to my 10 p.m. curfew!) discussing the civil rights struggles in Rhodesia and how they compared with those in Mississippi and Alabama, in which I was interested and involved. I learned that there was a world out there beyond our shores whose people had aspirations similar to our own, and it brought the world to my doorstep in a very real way that I could not have achieved by reading a book, or seeing a documentary film. I went on to join the Foreign Service and to spend almost 30 years of my adult life living abroad as a diplomat, mostly in developing countries, although never in Zimbabwe. And I came from a family where no one had a passport.

We need more international students, for four reasons:

Americans in overwhelming numbers believe that

international education is a key to preparing their children for success in the global age.

• It will make the world a safer place in the long run, if, as President Ronald Reagan said in 1982, we bring international students to the United States to “feel the warmth of the American family, the vitality of the American community, the diversity of our educational system.” • International education is a $13 billion industry for the United States, and DePauw as a leading liberal arts institution can successfully compete for a share of this market. • DePauw will attract a greater number of and more highly qualified American students and faculty members if it is, and is seen to be, a campus that is “international.” • Most importantly, DePauw will offer its students an education to prepare them to live in the 21st century whether they choose to do that in Paris, Ill., or Paris, France, or some combination of the two The president, faculty members and board of trustees are committed to increasing the number of international students from 2 percent to 8 percent over the next three years. This is a good start on internationalizing the campus. If we have a critical mass of foreign students and we are able to engage them fully in the life the University, and if we take other steps to bring international focus and experience into the classrooms, the living units, and the clubs and activities, I believe that the transformation of DePauw will be well underway.

Building an international student body at DePauw

Today we are confronted with challenges that demand a renewed commitment to international education

By Paul B. Watt Professor of Asian studies and director of the Asian Studies Program

During fall semester 2005, Paul Watt and Kathleen Knaul, director of international education and off-campus study, led two meetings with faculty members and students to discuss the tasks involved in building an international student body at DePauw. The meetings were supported by a Mellon grant that DePauw administers jointly with Denison University. The discussions, coupled with advice received from university counselors in East Asia and from staff members in international centers at several universities in the region, produced a useful list of at least the initial steps DePauw should take to build an international student body.

The old adage that tells us we need to learn a second language to truly

understand our first can be expanded to encompass culture as a whole.

22

DePauw is known for its success in helping students incorporate study abroad into their undergraduate education. Open Doors 2005, the Institute for International Education’s annual report, lists DePauw among the nation’s top 20 undergraduate institutions for sending students abroad. The University can be proud of this tradition, but today we are confronted with challenges that demand a renewed commitment to international education. The nature of many of our most pressing problems – protecting the environment, curbing the spread of disease, reducing the realities and threats of wars, reimagining employment and addressing inequities in wealth as multinational institutions of production and finance continue to emerge – require that we envision our lives in a global context. However, facing our problems is not the only reason to recommit to the goals of international education. Another is recognition of the profound enrichment that comes from genuine encounters with the people, histories and cultures of societies other than our own. The old adage that tells us we need to learn a second language to truly understand our first can be expanded to encompass culture as a whole. When we have close knowledge of the workings of other cultures, we are able to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the one in which we live. This perspective has provided one important rationale for the liberal arts. Many universities, including leading universities outside of the United States, also understand the value of international education. While the Open Doors 2005 report notes that 191,321 U.S. students studied abroad during the 2003-04 academic year, it points out that 565,039 international students studied in the United States during that period. The top four countries sending students to the United States were India (80,466), China (62,523), Korea (53,358) and Japan (42,215). In contrast, only 4,737 U.S. students studied in China, 3,707 in Japan, 1,157 in India and 879 in Korea. The cultural knowledge advantage that students from these countries have over U.S. students is easy to imagine. Although the report notes that interest in nontraditional destinations such as China has increased, the leading destination for U.S. students was the United Kingdom, followed by Italy and Spain. In this context, DePauw’s new five-year strategic plan, Securing Our Legacy, rightly emphasizes the need to expand our global perspective: “To broaden cultural perspectives and better prepare our students for a complex and interrelated world, we will help more students study abroad and increase the number of international students who enroll at DePauw.” 23

One only has to ponder what it would

The second goal of increasing the number of international students on campus is new. While we remain dedicated to sending qualified students abroad, the added goal recognizes the importance of building an international community on campus. DePauw President Bottoms has expressed hope that over the next few years we can increase the number of international students from the 47 who currently attend DePauw to more than 200, and that Asia will be one of the target areas for recruitment. One only has to ponder what it would mean not to further internationalize the DePauw experience at a time of rapid and ongoing globalization to appreciate the appropriateness of this course. While Asia should not be our only focus, it is a logical starting point, given its demographics and expanding economic clout; the need for cooperation with the nations of the region as we seek to enhance global security; the contemporary cultural vibrancy of many parts of Asia as well as their rich cultural legacies; and the numbers of qualified students eager to come to the United States. We also must recognize our own knowledge deficit of that part of the world, which the United States has struggled to correct for decades. Recruiting and retaining large numbers of international students requires careful planning and execution. With the support of Neal Abraham, executive vice president, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, and in consultation with the staff of the International Center and Asian studies faculty members, I made exploratory visits to nine international high schools in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Taipei in January of 2005 and 2006. These schools often have 30 to 40 countries represented in their student bodies, and while they enroll U.S. and European students whose families live and work in Asia, they also include many students of Asian backgrounds. The university counselors that I met in these schools were generous with their time and provided sound advice about how DePauw could establish a presence in East Asia. I also visited some of our university exchange partners and the offices of overseas educational advisers, who help foreign students learn about educational opportunities in the United States.

24

mean not to further internationalize the DePauw experience at a time of rapid and ongoing globalization to appreciate the appropriateness of this course.

All of the university counselors stressed the need for DePauw to have an experienced international recruiter in the admission office and an ongoing presence at international recruiting fairs that take place in major sites across Asia. (The University this summer appointed a full-time international admission officer.) According to international students at DePauw as well as the university counselors I met in Asia, the international recruiter must stay in close touch with international applicants and their families to answer their questions about life in the new culture and details of our academic program. Both DePauw’s international students and the university counselors noted the importance of financial aid to international applicants. DePauw alumni, especially those living and working overseas, but also those in the United States with international connections, can introduce the University to potential applicants and can pass on contacts to our admission office. DePauw faculty members who travel internationally as well as current international students can function in a similar way. We need to develop recruiting materials specifically designed to address the questions and needs of international students, and we need to adapt portions of DePauw’s Web site to those same goals. As critical as these measures are to successfully recruit international students, preparations that we make on campus are even more important for retaining them. The International Center will have more demands made on its staff and facilities, as will the Office of Multicultural Affairs, and will require additional support. Dining services will need to be sensitive to a wider range of dietary needs and tastes, and the Office of Spiritual Life must be prepared to respond to the diverse religious needs of these students. Having a faculty that is international (and in which international students can find mentors) and a curriculum that is global and comparative in its reach is yet another key element. Finally, we need to recruit U.S. students who have a sense of the value of being a part of an international learning community. Building an international student body at DePauw requires the cooperation of all members of the community, but it is critically important that our U.S. students be willing to reach out and welcome their fellow students from around the world.

DePauw is my study abroad experience An Indian student’s perspective

By Gauri Sarin ’07 Senior Gauri Sarin came to DePauw from Bombay (Mumbai), India. She is a double major in English literature and communication, and she is a member of the Honor Scholar Program, one of DePauw’s Programs of Distinction. She was named to Lambda Pi Eta, honorary society for the National Communication Association, and is a member of Mortar Board, the national honor society for leadership and service.

America is a scary place if you started out from home alone like I did. With one return ticket in hand, my passport and two suitcases, I boarded the plane at the international airport in Bombay with all the excitement of a deckhand walking the plank. I left behind a monsoon-drenched August of crazy taxi drivers, screaming vegetable vendors, and an assortment of rag pickers, urchins and pretend blind men, who deposited grimy thumbprints on the car windows as they came begging for a few coins. Twenty-one thoroughly disorienting hours later, I stepped out into a dizzying gridiron of steel, glass and concrete. I sat on the curb and cried for 40 minutes. In retrospect, however, I realize that once you’ve made the decision to leave India to study for a college degree, it all suddenly becomes just a plane ride. I had applied to two schools in India, five in the United Kingdom, three in Canada and 10 in the United States. Indian students like me who decide to leave the country traditionally apply to between 10 and 20 universities. Applying to so many colleges abroad raises international students’ hopes of receiving financial aid to buffer what they are spending on an international education. When I received my letter from DePauw, which offered a very generous scholarship, my father made the decision for me. Realistically, for most of us, it comes down to the best scholarship (especially for me, since I have a younger brother and sister). Because of the sheer number of people in India – 1.2 billion, projected to grow to 2 billion by 2010 – more and more people are competing for jobs. A high school degree or even an undergraduate education means little in India. In most cases, to apply for any well-respected job with career-building potential, you have to be a graduate from an acclaimed M.B.A. program. Editor’s note: State government funds most universities in India. However, the union government funds a set of “central universities,” which attract the top students from all over the country. The private sector has also aggressively emerged in higher education. Entrance to all institutions of higher learning is extremely competitive.

strengths lay in essays and presentations, which comprised only 10 percent, if any, of my final grade. So while I did average at an Indian school, I excelled when I transferred to an international school, receiving the second highest score in my school in the International Baccalaureate exams. I looked forward to coming to an excellent college with a completely different approach than

The amount of money it takes to be able to study abroad is great. Consider the cost of education in India. When my father attended Delhi University, a very well-respected institution comprised of 16 colleges, tuition was 30 cents a month. The top management colleges, which are internationally competitive, cost roughly Rs. 8000, or $200 a month, for tuition, room and board. So I looked up DePauw in Peterson’s (a college search and planning guide with information for international students) and found that international students made up less than 1 percent of DePauw’s student body. I wondered how I was going to fit in. But the scholarship was amazing, and I knew DePauw is a top-tier college with fabulous reviews and one of the best alumni networks. Of course, once I arrived on campus, stereotypes slowly began to break down. Three years later, I am a proud member of a sorority and have fabulous friends, but in all other ways I am not much different than from when I first came here. The biggest change that I have had to come to terms with is the education; it is so completely different from the kind of education that I received in India. Similar to here, students in India have to contend with a massive amount of information. However, at Indian schools and colleges, the mark of a student’s intelligence lies in his/her testtaking skills. One hundred percent of a student’s grade over a year depends on a final exam that is taken at the end of an academic year. The emphasis in high school and college education is, therefore, memorization. The final exam quizzes a student in the most minute of details from his/her booklist. Even more daunting are the I.I.T (Indian Institute of Technology) or I.I.M (Indian Institute of Management) entrance exams, for which students in their final year of college cram for one, sometimes two years. A student aspiring to sit for these exams would be able to ace any SAT II subject graduating from the 10th grade in high school. It is the equivalent of memorizing every page of every book that I’ve ever read at DePauw over four years, and calling it up from memory for one final exam at the end of my senior year. It is not difficult to understand why I disliked everything associated with the educational system in India. I never was a great one for memorizing hundreds upon hundreds of pages of facts. My 28

what I would have received if I had gone to an Indian college. DePauw’s style of education has done so much for me. Paired with the facts I have at the back of my mind, I am cultivating a writing, speaking and communication process that makes for a very intelligent and informed world perspective. So much has changed since I started here at DePauw. I came into the United States determined to finish a degree that would put me on the fast track to getting into a large company and make a career for myself. Then sophomore year happened, and Professor of English Andrea Sununu’s class in British Renaissance Poetry left me questioning whether I was jumping into life too fast. Assistant Professor of English Harry Brown, my adviser, confidante and sounding board for all my college crises, encouraged me to study literature in England for a semester, and he arranged my requirements so that I would be able to go and still complete my major and Honor Scholar Program. I went to Oxford and studied Wordsworth poetry with his great-great-great-grandson, Jonathan Wordsworth. I returned to declare a double major in English literature and communication, and I am currently writing my 100-page Honor thesis about the changing poetic conventions between Sidney, Spenser, Lady Mary Wroth and Donne. I am thrilled that DePauw is taking steps to diversify its student body. On a very basic level, the University will do well to be able to break down the stereotypes that inevitably are formed with a lack of exposure to the world. I am one of only a few Indian students at DePauw, and this year I remain the sole female student from India. People ask me “What’s India like?” – and I am left grasping at straws to try to explain in a few lines the cultural tangle that India is. In an age when the global village draws countries closer together, it will do the University a world of good to have an international perspective on life. I have gotten to know the United States firsthand by studying at DePauw, and I have discovered a host of miscommunications about America that news channels such as BBC present to the international community that I would have never picked up on had I not experienced life in America for myself. I know now, more than ever in this age of globalization, that you can’t afford to have someone else doing your thinking or talking for you. It is for this reason that I feel DePauw will benefit greatly from an international initiative.

Gauri, right, with friends.

Studying abroad opened up my world.

Study abroad? In Freiburg, Germany? I had no German connections, and no one in my family had ever studied abroad. I’m not even sure what made me decide to apply to the Freiburg program – probably listening to stories of other students who had been abroad. Regardless of my reasons, my Freiburg semester was the very best thing I did during my time at DePauw. Our program took place in spring 1980, and it was sponsored by DePauw, with a professor and his family accompanying our group. Twenty-six of us lived together, took classes together (in English, thank goodness) and traveled together on the weekends. Our professors scheduled all classes from Monday to Thursday, so we had three-day weekends that allowed for many side trips to neighboring countries. Freiburg’s location in the Black Forest region of what was then West Germany provided easy access to France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. We took full advantage of it, often choosing an overnight train to some destination to save the cost of a hotel room. We brushed our teeth in the train stations and, as only teenagers can do, wore the same pair of jeans for days. We sampled European food and beverages to our hearts’ content and learned an immense amount about the history, politics and customs of Western Europe. Perhaps even more importantly, we established friendships and a bond that lasts to this day. Studying abroad opened up my world. By the time I was 20 years old, I had lived in eight states, but I had never been in another country where language and customs were different than mine. I was forced to reach beyond my comfort zone, and my paradigm about the world, especially regarding politics, changed during that semester. I realized that Americans are viewed differently abroad than at home. I was amazed by the relative youthfulness of America compared to the thousands of years of history in Europe. I found that even though customs are different, basic needs of people are about the same. I found an appreciation for other countries and people that I would never have found at home. My one regret about my semester abroad was that I didn’t know more of the language. I had taken only the minimum one semester of German that was required. The greatest learning moments were with the local people – much more meaningful if you can communicate well with them! I remember being so proud of myself when I went to a bakery and ordered a cake for another student’s 21st birthday – all in German! And they understood me. I was elated! A school-sponsored field trip took us to West Berlin. We had to travel through East Germany, and I remember watching the soldiers with German shepherds inspecting the train when we

31

entered that country. Some of us bought a day pass to go to East Berlin, and we were shocked at the contrast between East and West Berlin. West Berlin was modern and even had a Burger King back then; East Berlin was stark and barren, and we had a hard time just finding a restaurant. When the Berlin Wall came down, I thought, “I’ve been there.” I have not traveled abroad much since my junior year, but I know my experiences from that semester taught me more than I ever could have learned in a textbook or classroom. I am currently an elementary library media specialist, and just this school year, I shared my photos from Holland and the Keukenhof, a famous tulip garden, with my students after reading a book that was set in Holland during World War II. I shared my pictures of Rome and Auschwitz via slideshow to my sixth graders who study Western European history (nothing like a naked statue to send a whole room of sixth graders into giggles). I feel that sharing my experiences helps students make a connection and makes these places more “real” to them. Our son, Shawn O’Banion, Class of 2007, heard me talk so much about my Freiburg experience that he chose to study abroad his junior year. The International Center assisted our son in finding a program in Florence, Italy, where he spent a wonderful semester last fall. Our daughter, who starts college next year, plans to minor in Spanish and wants to study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country. While DePauw is still strongly encouraging students to study abroad, I worry that the $2,500 off-campus study fee will discourage some students. Studying abroad now requires much more work on the part of students; for example, essays to both DePauw and the study abroad company, and required visas. I hope that DePauw will continue to facilitate this process in the future. It’s really hard to put my finger on what makes study abroad so special. Certainly, it’s the experience of new places and people. But for me, it was a lot about relationships with other students on my trip. During the Freiburg alumni reunion in June, 14 members of our group shared pictures, slides, memories – and a few German beers. What a blast we had. Those four months were special to us all, and we wouldn’t trade them for the world.

I have not traveled abroad much since my junior year, but I know my experiences from that semester taught me more than I ever could have learned in a textbook or classroom.

An aspiring travel writer finds New York City and France inspiring

By Kyra D. Shapurji ’06 Kyra D. Shapurji from Carmel, Ind., a double major in English writing and French, studied off-campus for a semester in both the United States and abroad. She graduated from DePauw on May 21. During the summer, she participated in the New York University Summer Publishing Program in New York City.

I experienced places, peoples and cultures – It is no use trying to convince people that it was easy to leave campus. When I respond to their question — “Wasn’t it hard being away from campus for a year?” — they don’t believe my answer. So I just tell them that I live to travel and I would do it all over again if I had the chance. I would do it again if it meant finding another city where I fit perfectly; if it meant traveling cheap around Europe with only a duffel bag and four friends; and if it meant seeing the world outside of the Midwest. I would study and live abroad again because that is what travel writers do. Travel writers aspire to explore somewhere other than where they call home, and I want to have that career. My junior year of study abroad solidified my career choice and made me even more eager to begin the path toward becoming a travel writer. I was attracted to DePauw’s study abroad program before I even made my college decision. During a visit to campus, the program showed an impressive number of students who traveled off campus, and it provided numerous options for foreign places to study. I decided to attend DePauw with the intent to travel abroad one semester. By my sophomore year, I was writing for the campus newspaper but felt this wasn’t helping my career objective to work on a magazine. I needed an internship to know for sure what I was getting myself into. I also needed a change from the DePauw campus. A whole year off campus did not seem that long, and it was manageable. Given my two majors, English writing and French, and my career interest, I chose to spend my junior year in two programs: a New York Arts Program that could provide an internship in journalism, and IES (formerly known as the Institute of European Studies) in France, which would further my speaking and writing abilities. I didn’t expect to fall in love with New York City. I had no idea the city would make me feel more safe, normal and sane than I had ever felt before. The only expectation I had was to gain experience in the magazine world with my internship at Saveur, a gastronomy magazine. In my internship, I quickly realized it is hard to make yourself work with a subject in which you have no interest. I was disappointed, because I wanted to work for a travel magazine but instead wound up researching food festivals around the world and the history of koftas, a Middle Eastern meatball. But the internship gave me hands-on experience with fact-checking and research and even the chance to write a few clips for the “Agenda” column. Not many

35

undergraduate aspiring journalists can say they have already been published in a national publication and performed jobs that graduates get paid to do. In addition to my journalism internship, I picked up a second one that I was excited about. I became an artist’s studio assistant on the days I wasn’t at Saveur. Through my art internship, I learned what it takes to survive as a working freelance artist in a major city. The city itself spoke to me with its many social opportunities – gallery visits in Chelsea, small music shows in bars, and the various cultural neighborhoods of Chinatown and Little Italy. There was no transition to make during my semester in New York City. I found a place I want to call home in the future. Quite opposite from my New York experience, France was definitely a transition. I thought I would be free from homesickness, but crossing the Atlantic, living with a family that wasn’t mine and not speaking the language made everything challenging from the start. I studied in Nantes, which is located on the west coast two hours from Paris. A professor there told me it was the coldest winter since 1973. Slowly but surely, my speaking abilities improved, and the weather became warmer as I began to travel outside of Nantes. This aspiring travel writer was given the chance of a lifetime to travel often. I was able to visit five other countries besides France. In France, I visited the beaches of Normandy, the chateaux of the Loire Valley and Nice on the Mediterranean coast. I felt at ease in the on-the-go mode of traveling, eating peanut butter sandwiches and apples for two weeks and sleeping in hostels where cleanliness was questionable. I saw the world at a fast pace and with eyes wide open. I experienced places, peoples and cultures – everything a travel writer needs to be immersed in when wanting to write a good story.

My off-campus studies in New York and France turned my DePauw experience into a dynamic exploration of career objectives.

My off-campus studies in New York and France turned my DePauw experience into a dynamic exploration of career objectives. I had hands-on experience with a national magazine, discovered the city where I’m meant to live, spoke and wrote in a foreign language for five months, traveled on more than 30 train trips through Europe and in all, reaffirmed my decision to become a travel writer. A talented travel writer should be able to persuade a reader to trade the comfort zone for the unknown. I want to write to inspire someone to leave the habitual for the foreign and to travel to the Alps, explore Buddhist temples in India, camp in the outback in Australia, or even to take a domestic flight to one East Coast island I look forward to calling home someday – New York City. Ask me again if I would leave my family and friends for a whole year to feel the rush of stepping onto new terrain, not knowing a single person and maybe not even the language. I would say, “I’m already there.”

Los Angeles Alumni Club members enjoy a wine-tasting event Twenty-four Los Angeles-area DePauw alumni – representing classes from 1953 through 2006 – gathered at Primitivo Wine Bistro in Venice Beach, Calif., on Thursday, June 29. In addition to enjoying conversation and reminiscing about DePauw, alumni enjoyed wines from Spain and tapas on an outside patio. The event highlighted recent efforts to increase activities coordinated by the Los Angeles Alumni Club. Thanks to alumni volunteers, the club has added a number of events, including a visit from the DePauw Chamber Orchestra in January. The club has tentatively planned a visit in the fall by David A. Bohmer, director of the Eugene S. Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media and director of the Media Fellows Program at DePauw, as well as a Sunday brunch. Of course, area alumni plan to continue to have the wildly successful Monon Bell telecast parties in Orange County and Los Angeles.
