Magenta Line and to the enduringvalue of a Muskingum College liberal arts education.

Each classroom and multi-use areais designed to inspire interdiscipli-nary exploration and closer collab-oration between students and pro-fessors.

student as our peer institutions. Tosecure our educational excellenceand to attract the best studentsand faculty, we must construct newfacilities that will support our pro-grams. A gift to the Campaign is aninvestment in the quality of everystudent’s Muskingum experience.

It is vitally important to our mis-sion that we build two new facili-ties—a campus center and a musicbuilding.

NEWDIMENSIONSFOR LEARNING“The Campus Center will reaffirmMuskingum’s commitment to developintellectually, spiritually, socially, andphysically whole persons.” Dr. Anne C. Steele, President

To further the peer-to-peer learningthat is so much a part of each Muskie’sexperience, the College hopes to break ground during the next year for a new campus social hub, the Campus Center. Located on the slopethat lies below Kelley Hall and abovethe Hollow, the three-level buildingwill be a center for students to gather,socialize, study and work out. It will be a place where students can get toknow themselves and each other, andto learn from each other.

The TOP LEVEL will house a resourcecenter for the support of career servic-es, international education and leader-ship development, as well as study andtutoring rooms, meeting and loungeareas and a computer lab. The MIDLEVEL will offer a fitness center withcircuit training, cardiovascular andfree-weight areas as well as a class-room for group exercise. An eventshall, a game room and a snack bar willoccupy the LOWER LEVEL.

The Campus Center will preserve andintegrate the natural beauty of itswooded setting. A bridge connectingthe east and west residential hills will offer access to these facilities for all of Muskingum’s 1,600 students.Architects are Bialosky and Partners, designers of Philip and Betsey Caldwell Hall.

URGENT NEED“A new building will enable the music program to uphold its longtime standards of excellence.” Hal Burlingame ’62, Chair of the Board of Trustees

Music is an essential component of aliberal arts education, and never moreso than at Muskingum. But our spacefor music study is woefully inadequate.In fact, compared to the amount ofspace for the study of music at peerschools, Muskingum’s music depart-ment ranks at the bottom. Therefore,the Board of Trustees has resolved toconstruct a new home for the music

department on the east campus, doubling the department’s criticallyimportant teaching space and puttingit on a par with music programs atpeer institutions.

Preliminary plans for the 20,000 squarefoot building include expanded spacefor instruction and rehearsal, as well aspractice rooms, faculty studios, a musiclibrary, and instrumental storage.

Located at the main entrance to thecollege, between Paul Hall and theManse, this building will help to revitalize our historic East Campus.While enhancing the music curricu-lum in service to Muskingum stu-dents, the facility will also be an out-ward expression of Muskingum'scontinuing vitality.

In 1952, two years before the unanimousSupreme Court decision in the Brown v.Board of Education case was handeddown, Ralph Ellison’s first and only novel,Invisible Man, was released...

The main character in Invisible Man“is an invisible man, not that he is invisi-ble but because people refuse to see himas he is”...He was unseen, his needs werenot addressed, and as is the case of thechildren whose plight brought us to thisconference, his existence was hardlyacknowledged...

Many of those problems persist, andwe have been reminded today that thereare still pockets of invisible people in ournation, many of them children, whom ourschools are failing to serve well.

—Dr. Helen Faison, Director, Pittsburgh Teachers Institute

In small towns and along rural roads,poor children are unseen by the U.S.education system. Whether it’s

because they are looked down upon as“hillbillies” or they leave school when theybecome homeless, they have becomeshadows in their schools. They are misun-derstood and missing.

To find ways to bring relief to the livesand educational challenges of these chil-dren, 500 educators, students, policymak-ers, and activists met at Muskingum fromSeptember 23-25, 2004, for a conferencetitled The Invisible Child: Poverty in theHeartland.

Through panels, workshops, speeches,and performances, the conference set outthe parameters of the challenge: the eco-nomic struggles of poor parents, the hid-den rules children live by, the resourcesand training that educators lack, and the

question of will. As participants discov-ered—in sessions and discussions covering pedagogy and poetry and thedesperate isolation and smells of impov-erishment—attention must be paid, toand by these children and their families,at all levels: local, systemic, one-on-one,and institutional.

The three-day conference was anunprecedented dialogue among keystakeholders in this nationwide impera-tive. Teachers and administrators whowork with children on a daily basis wereable to exchange information, ideas andstrategies with policy makers, members ofgovernment and public service agencies,researchers, businesses, churches, founda-tions and social agencies.

Muskingum’s co-sponsors were theHeldrich Center for Workforce Develop-ment at Rutgers University and Pikeville

College in Kentucky. The conference wasfunded in part by the AppalachianRegional Commission and received strongcollaboration and endorsement from theOhio Governor’s Office of Appalachia andthe Ohio Mid-Eastern GovernmentsAssociation, as well as from the publiceducation and business sectors.

Keynote SpeakerJonathan Kozol, author, educator, speak-er and social activist. Death at an EarlyAge, the story of his first year in teaching,received a 1968 National Book Award andis a classic in the field of education. Savage Inequalities received a 1991 NewEngland Book Award and Amazing Gracewas a national best-seller. A summa cum laude graduate of Harvard andRhodes Scholar, Kozol is a recipient ofGuggenheim, Rockefeller and Ford Foundation Fellowships.

Distinguished SpeakersElijah Anderson, Charles and William L.Day Professor of the Social Sciences, University of Pennsylvania and author ofA Place on the Corner, The Code of theStreet, and the award winning Streetwise.

campuson&about

When Dr. Jane Varley,assistant professor of

English, was advised by herdepartment chair, Dr. DonnaEdsall, of a travel writing competition sponsored by the American AutomobileAssociation, she viewed it as acurriculum exercise for hercomposition class. Varley knewthis would be “an interesting les-son for the students to write a

specific kind of piece for a spe-cific kind of audience.”

Home & Away, AAA’s maga-zine, was the sponsor of the con-test, which was open to all col-lege students in Ohio who wereenrolled in communicationscourses, and it was designed toexpose them to the specializedcraft of travel writing.

As the spring semesterwaned, Varley explained to the

people at the magazine “that thecontest was part of my course,so it would be helpful to knowits results before the end of theterm. But, I had no idea howexciting those results would be.”

She fondly recalled sharingthe news with her students. “Imarched into class with thisgreat news, and all of themwere thrilled, even those whodidn’t place.” The three arti-cles were published in theSeptember/October, 2004issue.

Varley is pleased withthe entire experience.“Anything that makes aclass more interesting andexciting is a big plus, and thisworked out incredibly well. Itwas great for all the students,whether or not they won. That’swhat matters.”

A new world for first year studentsThe Wilds

The new world of college got even larger for first-year Muskieswhen they visited the Wilds as part of Orientation Week last

August. The world-renowned animal research, conservation andeducation facility, built on reclaimed strip mining acreage, is justforty miles from campus.

The students learned that, because of the strong relationshipthat Muskingum has with the Wilds, they have real-life, profes-sional learning opportunities, both in coursework and intern-ships, that are rarely available to undergraduates. In a dialoguewith Associate Professor of Biology James Dooley, the studentscame to understand that the value of this resource for themreaches beyond studies in life science. Regardless of discipline,students must develop critical thinking skills which they canapply to a complex and uncertain world, all of which is repre-sented in the unique and groundbreaking work of the Wilds.

Muskingum’s growing rela-tionship of cultural and

intellectual exchange withLanzhou University in Chinawas honored by the gift of awork of art that was presentedto President Anne Steele byPresident Li Fashen of LanzhouUniversity.

The painting, by therenowned artist Zhang
