2011 LATINO HERITAGE MONTH CELEBRATION

Chicano Studies expert Dr. Carlos Muñoz Jr., author of Youth, Identity, Power: The Chicano Movement, will be the keynote speaker for Pacific’s Latino Heritage Month celebration. The celebration coincides with National Hispanic Heritage Month, which starts Thursday, September 15 and runs through October 15. Muñoz will speak at 6:30 pm on Thursday, September 29 in Raymond Great Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Muñoz is the author of numerous pioneering works on the Mexican American political experience and on African American and Latino political coalitions. Youth, Identity, Power: The Chicano Movement won the Gustavus Myers Book Award for “outstanding scholarship in the study of human rights in the United States.” The book was a major resource for the PBS television series Chicano! History of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement. Muñoz was the senior con-sultant for the project and was also featured in the series. The HBO movie Walkout was based on that series.

Pacific’s 2011 Latino Heritage Month Celebration also includes a panel series on immigration, Latin dance lessons, University meals involving Latin American cuisine and a ballet folklórico concert. Las Voces de Nuestros Antepasados (The Voices of Our Ancestors) is a collaboration between Pacific’s folklorico dance group, Los Danzantes de Pacific, and the Stockton-based Ballet Folklórico de Frank Zapata. The event will be held at 7 pm on Saturday, September 24, in Faye Spanos Concert Hall, and will feature regional dances and traditions from several states in Mexico.

NEW BRUBECK INSTITUTE DIRECTOR APPOINTEDSimon B. Rowe, DMA, has been appointed as the next director of the Brubeck Institute. Rowe’s appointment is the result of a six-month search to replace Steve Anderson, who retired in June 2011.

An established jazz pianist, Rowe is currently associate professor of music at Minnesota State University Moorhead, where he leads the Music Industry Program, teaches on the jazz studies faculty, and leads the Simon Rowe Trio. He will begin at Pacific on September 20.

A native of Australia who now holds dual citizenship, Rowe holds a doctorate of musi-cal arts in performance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a master of music in jazz performance from Southern Illinois University, and a bachelor of music in jazz performance from Eastern Illinois University. He has taught jazz at Minnesota State University Moorhead since 2004.

Rowe has played with Dizzy Gillespie, Bob Mintzer, Marvin Stamm, Dianne Schurr and other prominent jazz musicians. In 1997, Rowe founded Catalyst Productions, a record label dedicated to documenting and championing the work of some of the Midwest’s most outstanding jazz artists.

“Dr. Rowe is the ideal person to continue the Brubeck Institute’s record of excellence and build on Dave Brubeck’s artistic and cul-tural legacy,” said President Pam Eibeck. “He has built a reputation for actively engaging community partners in jazz outreach and education. He is a passionate jazz ambassador with a proven ability to excite people — especially young people — about jazz.”

DEAN RAVI JAIN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT School of Engineering and Computer Science Dean Ravi Jain announced he will retire July 31, 2012. Since becoming dean in 2000, Jain has created a culture of industry-related research, developed partnerships that benefit our graduates, and has been a tireless fundraiser for the School.

He has brought in talented new faculty, has improved the academic profile of students, increased student diversity, and has grown enrollment in the School of Engineering and

Computer Science. Under his leadership, the school launched a Master of Science in Engineering Science and opened the John T. Chambers Technology Center, a LEED Gold certified teaching and research facility, which offers faculty and students a superior teaching and learning environment.

Dean Jain has remained an active scholar over the course of his tenure, with 15 books and more than 180 journal articles and other publications to his credit. He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2004 — a first for a Pacifican.

Provost Maria Pallavicini announced that plans to appoint a search committee are underway, with the goal of having a new dean in place summer 2012.

PACIFIC SIGNS COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT WITH SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Beginning this summer, Pacific initiated conversations with the University’s community- based partners to collaboratively articulate shared values and goals pertaining to violence prevention and the provision of advocacy and support for victims of sexual violence within the campus community. The outcome of this process would be a plan for specific, ongoing collaboration that brings the University closer to a comprehensive community-wide approach to addressing campus sexual violence.

On August 31, 2011, the first completed agreement was signed by authorities from the Office of the District Attorney of San Joaquin County (SJCDA) and Vice President for Student Life Elizabeth Griego. The operational agreement outlines how we will work together to provide maximum available assistance for victims of crime at Pacific, as well as dating and sexual violence prevention education to the Pacific community. Suzanne Schultz, a coordinator in the SJCDA Family Crimes Division, and Gabriela Jaurequi ’91, program coordinator for the SJCDA Victim-Witness Assistance Program, collaborated on the agreement and will work with Pacific to implement the plan, which will be reviewed and updated annually.

PACIFIC WELCOMES MORE THAN 1,100 NEW STUDENTS IN 160TH YEAR

University of the Pacific welcomed more than 1,100 new students to campus for the 2011–2012 academic year as classes began on August 29. The incoming class includes about 930 freshmen and roughly 230 transfer students.

In the University’s 160th year, total enrollment is projected to be about 6,700. Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry has more than 500 students enrolled for the academic year and Pacific McGeorge School of Law has enrolled nearly 1,000 students.

IMPACT OF RECENT CHANGES AT HP AND SUNGARD ON UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY

Recent announcements regarding changes at two major University technology vendors, Hewlett Packard and SunGard, may have raised some concern in the Pacific community about how these changes will impact the University. Pacific’s CIO Malik Rahman addressed this concern in an open letter, and indicates that these changes will not affect continuing support, service and quality of products and technology from these vendors.

SunGard, the company that provides the University’s Banner enterprise system, announced it is merging with Datatel, its major competitor. The companies have publicly committed to continue development and improvement of their current solutions.

Hewlett Packard, which Pacific recently standardized as a vendor for desktop and laptop PCs, has announced the intention of spinning off the PC arm of its business. Regardless of the future ownership status of HP’s Personal Systems Group, the company will remain the world’s largest PC vendor. HP will continue to honor its warranty obligations, and these products will continue to be fully supported.
