Walls can’t literally talk. But the walls of Zaf Bludevich’s office say plenty. Framed photographs line the walls and shelves, ranging from black-and-white track team photos from the 1970s to color photos of his daughters playing soccer and of his wife, Jacki Murphy ’74, and of Zaf with former athletic director Ed Markey ’51.

YouTube’s impact on society was one of the critical examinations going on in Jon Hyde’s Documentary Film class this semester. Hyde’s journalism students formed groups to create films from conceptualization to storyboards, script-writing, creating animations, editing and producing. As part of their learning experience, the YouTube group posted several clips of their final product on YouTube itself, and other groups shortly followed suit with student documentaries that examined children’s literature, food politics, mental health, alcohol abuse, gender identity and environmental topics.

President NeuhauserBy John J. Neuhauser

We are now nearly a year into an economic crisis that has touched almost every segment of society, including higher education.  We have quickly and perhaps appropriately moved from a culture where conspicuous consumption is the order of the day to one where old-fashioned frugality seems the norm.

In the Margins: Story, Telling

June 2, 2009 by smcmagazine

Caroline CrawfordA few weeks ago, I was sitting in my third-grade son’s class for what was dubbed “A Writer’s Celebration.” What was remarkable to me, on top of the sweet, poignant and insightful writing that these eight- and nine-year-olds were sharing, was the fact that they used Adobe’s Audition software, a highly innovative program for audio, video and online production, for the first part of their presentation.

Flashing a girl-next-door smile as expansive as her strong and lanky six-foot swimmer’s frame, Eileen Mullowney ’12 confides that she’s “always losing things,” perhaps referring to her funky yellow Crocs that swim team buddies snagged and colored red for a prank this year. Maybe she means the time she lost her balance right into a miniature-golf water hazard while on the tennis team trip to Hilton Head in March. Continue Reading »

masiFriends help us during life’s toughest times. We don’t need a scientist to tell us that.

But the research Erica Masi ’09 is conducting seeks to find out just how much our friends help us. The biology/psychology double major recently received a $1,500 research grant from the national psychology honors society Psi Chi to fund her research that examines whether having a friend along alleviates symptoms in stressful situations. (Psi Chi gives only 12 to 16 of these highly competitive grants each semester to students across the country, and those primarily at large universities.) Continue Reading »

A Birthday Tribute

Poet Greg Delanty receives tributes from both sides of the Atlantic
By Buff Lindau

Rarely does a poet have a “collected poems” until later in life. But professor of English Greg Delanty achieved that honor before his 50th birthday with Collected Poems 1986-2006 (Carcanet 2006). And this year, when he turned 50, he was recognized with the publication of a double issue of a prestigious journal, Agenda: Atlantic Crossings, in his honor. The 262-page volume with tributes by poets from both sides of the Atlantic is emblazoned with “50th Birthday Celebration for Greg Delanty,” across the cover, along with a strong portrait of the poet.
