A Glimpse of the Caribbean, as Christopher Columbus Might Have Seen It, Oct. 9

Bernard Wiltshire, former Attorney General of Dominica and President of the Caribbean nation's most influential environmental group, will be on campus in October for meetings with students and faculty in Arcadia’s M.B.A. program. On Monday, Oct. 9, at 5:30 p.m. in the Beaver College Room of Landman Library, Wiltshire also will talk about the Caribbean island nation where Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest was filmed in a free, public lecture, “Discover Dominica: The Nature Island of the Caribbean.”

Located between Martinique and Guadalupe, Dominica is believed to be closest to what the Caribbean was like before Christopher Columbus’ voyage, lush with numerous rivers and waterfalls, tropical oceanic rainforests and towering mountains that run through the island’s center. This well-kept secret is on the cusp of becoming an eco-tourism haven and top travel destination as well as a leading offshore financial center.

Wiltshire’s visit is a precursor to the trip Arcadia students will make to Dominica in January to study the nation’s developing economy with Tom Brinker, Professor of Accounting and Executive Director of Arcadia’s M.B.A. program. Read more about Wiltshire's visit.

How Fast? The 4G Revolution is Coming

Last week a New York Times headline asked “Wireless Networking May Soon Get Faster. Will Anyone Care?” and Telephony magazine featured 4G on its cover. Yanxia Jia, Arcadia’s new Assistant Professor of Computer Science, is an expert in wireless technology. She talks about the notion of “ubiquitous computing” with the Bulletin. Image a world unplugged. No Cat V cables; no Wi-Fi hot spots needed. Read more about the coming revolution of speed—anywhere, anytime.

Parent Education Can Reduce Child Abuse, Paulk Finds

Paulk “Parenting programs can transform parenting behavior, and intervention in the form of education is an important tool that can add to the reduction of child abuse and reduce the likelihood that a caregiver will re-abuse his or her child,” says David Paulk, Ed.D, PA-C, Assistant Professor of Medical Science and Community Health, who successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on that question this summer at Rutgers University. “If this research is corroborated by future research, the implication is that parent education programs should be expanded. This finding is provocative in that if it holds true, the implication for the reduction on child abuse is substantial.”

His data demonstrated “research subjects’ change from a parent-centered to a child-centered and/or relationship-centered approach to parenting. A grounded theory emerged from the study which showed that the parents demonstrated a previously absent empathetic-perspective for their children.” Read more about Paulk’s research. (And congratulations on his Sept. 30 wedding!) Paulk also co-authored the article “Polycystic Ovary Syndrome,” which appeared in September’s issue of Clinician Reviews, and spoke at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in August on “Recognition of Child Abuse” and at Rutgers University Graduate School of Education on Sept. 14 on “Understanding Child Abuse and a Personal Story.” He speaks at Cecil College School of Nursing (Maryland) in November, talks at Shenandoah University (Virginia) in November, and gives the keynote at the Annual Child Protection Conference in the last part of November in Orlando. He also will present the results of his doctoral dissertation there as well.

Cameron Named Red Cross Volunteer of Year

Conversation with Acclaimed Photographer Continues, Oct. 10

Mystic River In 2005, Noah Sheldon and Roger White interviewed acclaimed American photographer Stephen Shore for The Brooklyn Rail. Their conversation led Sheldon to imagine an exhibition based on the spirit of Shore's photographs, in particular, Merced River, an ecstatic riverbank landscape taken in Yosemite National Park in 1979. That exhibit, Mystic River, became a reality and is now in the Arcadia University Art Gallery through Oct. 22. Arcadia is pleased to present a special conversation with Shore on Tuesday, Oct. 10, at 7 p.m. in Stiteler Auditorium in Murphy Hall, followed by a reception in the Gallery. Shore will discuss his work and the exhibition it inspired with Sheldon and White. This event is free and open to the public. Show information and photos available at www.arcadia.edu/gallery.

Mirrors and Windows, Mexican Farm Workers’ Stories, Oct. 11

Arcadia’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage month continues with excerpts from the book Mirrors and Windows: Issues of Immigration and the American Dream, presented by Mark Lyons, editor of the book, and Mayra Castillo, Assistant Director of Enrollment Management. Castillo is one of the many authors of this book, which contains oral histories of Mexican farm workers and their families. The reading is Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. in the Kuch Hospitality Suite. “We will also touch base on how to use the book in the classroom, teaching how to write oral histories, how to teach English and other subjects to immigrant children, and talking about the immigration debate in the classroom,” Castillo says. The book now comes with a teacher's guide that can be found online at www.espejosyventanas.org.

Lyons will talk about his involvement with the Latino community in the Philadelphia area, his many years of involvement with CATA, the Farmworkers Support Committee, and the book of oral histories with the migrant community in Kennett Square, Pa., the so-called mushroom capital of the world, where most of the mushroom pickers are now Mexican immigrants, Castillo says. “The purpose of the presentation is to make the Arcadia community more aware of the issues that affect some of our Latino and non-Latino students, and possibly faculty and staff. We want to bring the personal stories that people don't really get to hear in the media because we are so bombarded with political propaganda and forget that we are dealing with human lives.” Books also will be sold that night.

“The Demotion of Pluto: A New Definition for Planets” on Oct. 11

“Italy Drew Me In”

By Sandhya Moraes ’06

As an international student who decided to push my integrative learning and personal growth one step further, I decided to study in Florence, Italy, in my junior year. That semester helped me recognize and differentiate my connections to the United States and India, where I come from. I am able to see that the U.S. taught me how to structure my work ethic and discipline myself while Italy allowed me to push my self development beyond a campus experience.

While the U.S. taught me how to juggle bills, taxes, work and classes, Italy helped me recognize that my core strength emerges from the interpersonal skills that are inherent in me. Italy allowed me to witness behind the stage preparation for international fashion shows, connect and learn from Italian graphic designers, and continue to build on my international experience through interactions with European Union citizens and their perspectives.

So in essence Florence became a key factor in understanding who I am, my cultural roots and adding an Italian minor to my graphic design major. Language and visual design have formed critical connections for me, and traveling has helped cement that bond for me and within myself.

Men's Soccer Stuns Rival Eastern in Overtime


Benner	Foss	Buckingham

(4-2-2, 3-0-1 PAC) The Knights began a 1-1 week hosting fourth-ranked York College on Wednesday, Sept. 27, suffering a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Spartans, 2-1. While York took an early one-goal advantage, Arcadia outplayed the Spartans in the second half, battling back to tie the game, with a few near misses at the go-ahead goal as the second half wound down. Heading into overtime, it was clearly either teams' game, but the Spartans made their third overtime shot on goal count as their leading scorer, Andrew Wheeler, put the ball over the Arcadia keeper, Jeff Kratohwill, and into the far left goal side for the game-winner. Senior Mike Fillipone scored AU’s only goal.

On Saturday, Sept. 30, the Knights traveled to PAC rival Eastern University, the only PAC team to defeat the Knights in the regular season since 2003 (AU lost to the Eagles in 2005). Sophomore midfielder Matt Benner scored his first collegiate hat trick, which included the overtime game winner to lead his Knights to victory over defending PAC champion Eastern College, 4-3. With overtime a familiar scenario for these two teams, Arcadia made the third time the charm. Four minutes into the overtime period, senior midfielder Aaron Foss sent a long ball back into Geoff Buckingham, who then flicked the ball to Benner. Benner took the ball past his defender with EU keeper Mike Dorsch approaching, lifting the ball past Dorsch to send the Knights home with the win, stunning the Eagles on their home field.

The win avenges last year's conference finale when the Eagles took the crown after winning the penalty kick round 5-4.

Benner was named this week’s Knight of the Week and to the PAC Player of the Week Honor Roll for his performance.

Women’s Soccer: Rematch vs. Misericordia


Pote	Kubat	Kraemer

(3-7-1, 1-3-1 PAC) The defending PAC champions began their 0-2 week with a rematch of last year's PAC championship game in which the Knights upset the top-seeded College Misericordia Cougars 4-2. The defending PAC champions fell behind in the thirrd minute of play when Misericordia's Ashley Chavez found Brittany Brouse for the early 1-0 lead. The Knights contained the Cougars' attack until the 73rd minute, giving Misericordia a 2-0 lead. Although the Knights quickly rebounded with a goal from Amanda Pote just two minutes later, Misericordia's Aja Pyers one-timed a pass from Amber Getz past Knight keeper Auralia Kubat in the 82nd minute for the insurance goal. Kat Kraemer picked up the assist on the goal by Pote.

The Knights hosted undefeated Cabrini College on Saturday with the Caveliers stealing the game with under 8 minutes remaining in regulation to win 3-2. The Knights took the early advantage late in the third minute as junior defender Kate Kraemer found sophomore Sam Calhoun in front of the net for the 1-0 AU lead.

With the Knight's controlling much of the offense in the first half, AU nearly made it 2-0 in the 16th minute as Calhoun beat her defender in front of the net with her shot skimming the fingertips of Cabrini netminder Leandra Conti and defecting off the post. But three minutes later Cabrini defender Nikki Duggan headed a corner throw from sophomore Jen Burke past Kubat, tying the game at 1-all.

The Knights got the go-ahead goal in the 53rd minute when Calhouhn played the ball through to Amanda Pote, who then beat Conti to the far right goalside, giving AU the 2-1 advantage. The Caveliers mounted a comeback in the 59th minute of play as first-year Sabina DeGisi broke loose in the midfield and beat Kubat, who had come out to make the stop, tying the game at 2-all. The Caveliers broke the stalemate for their first go-ahead goal of the game, with a controversial, uncontested goal from DeGisi at the 82-minute mark. Despite some good looks at the net, AU couldn’t get the ball past Conti, who preserved the 3-2 win for the 6-0 Caveliers.

Field Hockey Struggles on the Road


Schlegel	Harris	LoCasle	Rasmussen

(2-7, 2-3 PAC) Field Hockey began an 0-2 week traveling to non-conference opponent Philadelphia University on Wednesday, Sept. 27, losing 4-1. Picking up AU's only tally of the game was first-year forward Jessica Schlegel. Sophomore midfielder Beth Harris took the initial shot on the second of AU's 2 corner opportunities of the game, with Schlegel in perfect position to tip the ball into the cage. Senior Maggie LoCasle and first-year Brittany Rasmussen split time in net for the Knights, with LoCasle turning away 4 shots and Rasmussen 9.

The Caveliers of Cabrini College handed the Knights a 4-2 loss on Saturday. Sept. 30, Cabrini jumped out to an early lead, scoring three unanswered goals in the first half. Eight minutes in to the second half, first-year midfielder Joanna Born sparked some life in the Knight's offense with an unassisted goal, but Cabrini answered just two minutes later as April Kaufmann took a pass from Richer for the 4-1 Cavs lead. AU made an attempt at a comeback as senior Christine Crowe put the ball on the stick of AU's scoring leader Kristin Law to cut the Cabrini lead to 4-2 with three minutes remaining, but Cabrini shut down the AU attack in the remaining minutes to win the game 4-2. Senior Jeannie Nutter and Brittany Rasmussen split time in net for the Knights, as Nutter made 4 saves in the first half and Rasmussen 2 in the second.

Klim Undefeated in Six Singles Matches

Klim

(5-4, 3-2 PAC) The Knights entered a 1-1 week with a 6-3 conference loss to Neumann College on Tuesday, Sept. 26. AU took one out of the three doubles matches. AU second doubles team, Danielle Klim and Corey Mazen, defeated Neumann’s team 8-2. The Knights tried to rally back in the singles matches but came up short. The two winners from the Knights came from #4 singles Danielle Klim 6-0, 6-3 and #5 singles Katelyn Brammer 6-0, 6-0. Klim was recently named Knight of the Week for her solid play at #4 singles and entered Saturday's match at Wesley undefeated in her last five matches.

Klim continued to pace the Knights as they traveled to Wesley College on Saturday, Sept. 30, pushing her undefeated singles streak to 6 matches as AU topped the PAC school, 8-1. The Knights swept the doubles, giving them the early 3-0 lead as singles play commenced. AU’s first doubles team Danielle Klim and Cory Mazen defeated Wesley's Amy Winstanley and Maria Rodriguez 8-1. In second doubles, AU's Shanel Santucci and Amanda Sekerke rallied back from a 1-6 deficit to beat Wesley's Melissa Cameron and Amanda Hughes 9-8 (7-5). Also, the team of Jennifer Cardinale and Shannel Bustin took action and deafeated Melissa Torres and Tara Spillane 8-3.
AU also took 5 out of the 6 singles matches with Cory Mazen, Sarah Palmer, Danielle Klim, Katelyn Brammer, and Kristen Paula earning the victories.

Volleyball Pounces on Misericordia

Bridget Hunsinger paced the Knights with 8 kills, 9 digs and 4 blocks.
