Did You Get a Text at 12:09 Monday? — 900 Others Did!

Arcadia tested a new Emergency Notification System on Monday, Feb. 25, sending e-mail notices campus-wide and cell phone messages to more than 900 faculty, staff and students who also signed up for text message notification.

All Arcadia e-mail addresses are automatically included in the system, with no registration needed. But faculty, staff and students have the option to register mobile/cell phones where they can receive text message notification as well. Registration is available through the ENS module on MyArcadia. Users who registered for text messaging but did not receive a text message can contact helpdesk@arcadia.edu or call 215-572-2898.

The Emergency Notification System will be used only in the event of a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate action. It will be tested occasionally. It does not replace any other forms of communication that Arcadia uses. Read more about ENS.

Walbert Convenes 90th NASPA Conference

Walbert

With a gavel carved from the wood of a beech tree that used to guard Grey Towers Castle, Jan Walbert will call to order the 90th annual NASPA conference on Sunday, March 9, bringing to a close her year as President of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, capping a year that took her before Congress and around the nation (a couple of times).

As NASPA President, Walbert will introduce Soledad O’Brien, anchor and special correspondent for CNN’s Special Investigations Unit, as the opening session speaker on Sunday, March 9, and almost 5,000 NASPA colleagues will participate in four days of conference programs, professional development and networking in Boston, Mass. NASPA is the leading voice for student affairs administrators, with more than 11,600 members.

“During the course of the year, I had the opportunity to travel to many conferences, both national and regional, during which I connected directly or indirectly with more than 20,000 student affairs colleagues, says Dr. Walbert, who is Arcadia’s Vice President for Student Affairs. Despite all the air travel—six regional conferences and another eight institutes or conferences, notes Walbert, “I experienced only a couple minor travel delays, and not once did I lose my luggage.” Read more.

Deane is Director of Accelerated Business Degree Completion

Deane

Dr. William Deane is the new Director of the Accelerated Degree Completion program in Business Administration. Deane, a resident of Brigantine, N.J., received his undergraduate degree at Old Dominion University before going on to receive both a master’s and Ph.D. from Episcopal Theological School and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, respectively. A professor at Drexel University for more than 20 years, Deane has a strong background in business management, holding both managerial and consulting positions throughout his career as well as various executive positions in social service corporations. Winner of the 2004 IFC Educator of the Year Award, Deane has been published in such notable publications as the Harvard Negotiation Journal and the National Productivity Review.

Deane says the advantage of Arcadia’s program is that it allows the adult learner to complete his or her business college degree faster. “In addition to the bachelor’s degree, we offer assured admission for graduates with a 3.0 GPA or better and two years work experience into Arcadia’s accelerated online MBA with an International Perspective,” he says. “Students can complete both degrees in about three years while working full-time and going to school part-time.”

A Discussion of British Politics
Reprinted with permission from The Bridgton News (Bridgton, Maine)

By Chelsea St. Onge-May '11

The Anglican Church—the official and state-sanctioned religion of the United Kingdom. An aside: The United Kingdom is a surprisingly secular society, and debates on issues such as abortion and gay rights are almost never religiously charged.

I was additionally lucky in being one of only a few students called upon to ask my question of the three legislators. The varied responses to my inquiry about the role of the monarchy and hereditary titles effectively reveal the diversity of British politics. Taverne was the first to respond; as a member of the House of Lords, he was appointed as a “life peer,” which secures a lifetime tenure (comparable to a United States Supreme Court Justice), in 1997. Once upon a time, Parliament was a hereditary ruling of nobles and aristocracy passed down through first-born sons, and approximately 90 individuals, astonishingly, still hold their title as a result of inheritance. In any case, Taverne spoke candidly of the monarchy, saying, “It’s all for show. It’s quite a good show—and good for the tourist business—but I could live without it.” He characterized the royal administration as a worthless feature in an otherwise efficient government.

campus Happenings

Asian Club Celebrates Chinese New Year

Arcadia’s Asian Club members celebrated the Chinese New Year in January with a special meal prepared by club members. Their menu included fried rice, sweet and sour fish, Chinese cabbage, pork cooked with ginger, pearl meet balls, dumpling, curry beef and vegetable, and candied fruit. Dessert included almond tofu with fruit, candy and cookies. Faculty members who attended the dinner included Dr. Yanxia Jia, Dr. Louis Friedler and Dr. Emanuele Curotto.

Asian Club member Tian Luan explained the significance of the celebratory dinner: “Chinese New Year literally means Spring Festival. It is also known as the Lunar New Year. It is the most important traditional Chinese holiday. It begins the first day of the first Lunar month and ends on the 15th of the month, which is the date for Lantern Festival.  The celebration traditionally starts on the new year's eve, and the biggest event for new year’s eve is the family dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. By contrast, in the South, it is customary to make a new year cake after dinner. The new year cake (Chinese: Niangao) literally means increasingly prosperous year in year out. After the dinner, some families go to local temples hours before the new year begins to pray for a prosperous new year; however, in modern practice, many households hold parties and even hold a countdown to the new lunar year.”

University Relations Designers Win Awards

Lacrosse Players Introduce Youngsters to the Sport

Arcadia Men’s Lacrosse Club members Mark Bauer, Matt Bauer, Stephen Choromanski, Ian Magill, Kyle McIntyre, Nick Smith, Alex Sumitro, Jason Winkler and Jackson Woods, along with Coach Les Sdorow, held a demonstration session for about 20 children on Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Simon Recreation Center in Philadelphia. Sdorow began by asking the youth if they played basketball. When all of them raised their hands, he told them about the similarities between the two sports. He also showed a video of the history of lacrosse, a sport originated by Native Americans.

“I think you could tell how excited the kids were to begin learning lacrosse skills,” Sdorow told his players. “And Robert Hamilton, who ran the event, said how pleased he was with how the kids took to lacrosse. Perhaps we can stay connected with the program and help some of the kids become Arcadia players down the road.” The program was held in association with the Philadelphia Youth Lacrosse League (PHYLL).

“The two kids I worked with loved it,” said Matt Bauer ’10. “I showed them how to do a face-off, and they practiced against each other. They asked when we would back.”

For information on Arcadia’s Men’s Lacrosse Club, contact Dr. Lester Sdorow at 215-572-4089 or e-mail: sdorow@arcadia.edu.

Men’s Basketball Knocks Off Top Seed But Falls to Manhattanville; Elliott Notches 1,000th Point

Elliott	Green

(12-13) Men’s Basketball suffered a tough 67-59 set-back at Manhattanville College over the weekend, bringing its playoff hopes and season to an end. The Knights finished the season 12-13, and 6-6 against their Freedom opponents.

The Knights needed two wins to secure the fourth seed in the Freedom Conference tournament. They took the first step toward a playoff berth by outperforming DeSales for a 66-62 overtime victory.

On Saturday, Manhattanville went on a roll early, but Arcadia built an eight-point lead by halftime, thanks to 14 first-half points from senior Sterling Green. But the Manhattanville defense shut down the Knights offense in the second half, erasing Arcadia’s lead, before icing the game in the final minute of play.

Eric Elliott, who notched his 1,000th career point in front of the home crowd on Arcadia’s opening play against DeSales, finished his career with 1,033 points. He averaged 17.5 in AU’s 1-1 week, three points above his team-leading season average of 14.6. Green averaged 13.5 points per game in his final week of play, nearly three above his season average of 10.6, and concluded his career with 716 points and 251 rebounds. Senior Kevin Brown grabbed a team-high 6.5 rebounds per contest last week, while posting 10.2 ppg. He dished out a team-high 79 assists during the season.

Junior guard Bobby Mulholland also had a stand-out week for Arcadia, notching 22 points and eight rebounds over two games, and will be the top returning scorer for the Knights in 2008-09, when Arcadia plays in the Commonwealth Conference.

Sparks Nets 1,000th Point on 1-2 Week for Women's Basketball

Sparks	Bates

Women’s Basketball rounded out the 2007-08 season with a win and two losses, highlighted by the 1,000th career point for senior Caitlin Sparks. 

The team lost to Freedom Conference leader DeSales on Tuesday night and fell to Manhattanville on Saturday in its final game of conference play. Yet the team notched a 64-44 win at Penn State-Berks on Thursday night. Sparks netted a game-high 25 points, including the 1,000th point of her career.  Sparks followed up that performance with another 25-point outing two days later at Manhattanville. 

Senior Stephanie Bates paired with Sparks to lead the Arcadia offense in it 1-2 week, averaging 11.0 ppg., collecting six steals, eight defensive rebounds and dishing out 11 assists. The four-year starter tied for third on the team in scoring this season with 7.7 ppg., collecting 193 points, 80 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, 69 assists and a team-high 64 steals.

Sparks posted 20.0 ppg. and 8.3 rpg. to lead Arcadia and ended her senior year with 1,037 points.

Angela Tate, Adjunct Professor of Physical Therapy, used her skills as a therapist to help her daughter, Julia Tate, a junior at North Penn High School, capture the District One Class AAA Diving Championship, as reported the Feb. 25 Intelligencer and in the Feb. 24 Reporter. Her daughter injured her right knee four weeks ago, and her hopes of competing were all but done. Describing her therapy, the younger Tate says, “My mom worked and worked to help rehab my leg... . She did everything to help me recover. She even used 'stime' to help it, hooking electrodes to my leg to contract the muscles to prevent atrophy... . I don’t know if I’d be here today if my mom hadn’t helped me.”
