Sustaining God’s creation

At the beginning of our academic year, we celebrated the opening of our landmark Institute of Environmental Sustainability. The institute is the result of years of planning and is our effort to respond to the call by the Society of Jesus asking all Jesuit institutions—especially universities—to focus on matters of the environment. Sustainability is a serious manner, and it is something that

universities are uniquely qualified to address. The Institute of Environmental Sustainability features a greenhouse, geothermal installation, clean energy lab,

residence hall, and more. These features are exciting, but what is more noteworthy is the integrated and interdisci-plinary learning that will take place through their use. Students will live, study, experiment, interact, and observe in this one facility. Through the institute, we hope to instill in our students the idea that environmental challenges are of critical importance and that they will be responsible for meeting them collaboratively.

This is very much in line with our Jesuit, Catholic identity. Our faith tells us that all creation, especially the human person, is a reflection of God. We embrace science’s role in God’s plan of discovery and design, and we know that sustaining that creation is the job before us. In stewarding our precious natural resources, we protect the people—both ourselves and others—who rely on them. This institute is an expression of our commitment to that task.

Our students will take what they learn within labs and classrooms and apply that knowledge well beyond those walls. They will be prepared for a growing number of career opportunities in the environmental sustainability field. We anticipate that they will spend time in nature at our Retreat and Ecology Campus, growing food or restoring a degraded wetland. We will encourage them to bring new perspectives to a well-known piece of literature and teach middle-school students about biodiesel production. We hope they will travel to foreign countries to learn about resource management abroad. And we are confident that they—and all of us—will reevaluate our consumption habits and reflect on the ways that our faith calls on us to protect our planet and those who inhabit it.

Most importantly, our students will become graduates who are equipped and inspired to find real solutions to environmental problems. This is a crucial part of our mission as a university, and I, for one, look forward to seeing the results.

Loyola welcomes two new deansSCHOOL OF EDUCATION

Michael E. Dantley, EdD, of Miami University in Ohio, has been named the new dean of the School of Education. With more than 20 years’ experi-ence in higher education, Dantley has served numerous leadership roles at Miami Uni-versity, most recently as as-

sistant provost and vice president of academic affairs. Dantley served the Cincinnati Public School system as teacher and principal for over a decade. He is currently pursuing research that explores new ways to conduct qualitative research and spirituality and the link between principals’ moral development and the ways these principals define and demonstrate their commitment to social justice. Dantley holds a BA in history and education from the University of Pennsylvania, a MEd in educational leader-ship from Miami University, and an EdD in educational administration from the University of Cincinnati.

SCHOOL OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

Walter S. Pearson, PhD, of Lewis University, has been named the new dean of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS). Before Lewis, he served as dean of New College at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, and as associ-

ate academic dean and director of evening, weekend, and graduate programs at Simpson College in Iowa. Pearson holds a BA in labor studies from Antioch University, an MA in adult and continuing education from the University of Missouri–Kansas City, and a PhD in educa-tional leadership and policy studies from Iowa State University. Pearson serves on the board of trustees of the Association for Continuing and Higher Education (ACHE), as well as on a task force of the Higher Learning Commission to develop an academy on enhancing student persistence.

The Ten Thousand Ripples project is a partnership between local artist Indira Johnson, Changing Worlds, LUMA, and other cultural and educational organizations in the Chicago area. The project highlights the power of art to transform the space in which it lives. The project launched in 2012 with 100 fiberglass and resin Buddha sculptures created by Johnson installed at sites chosen by the ten participating communities. Companion artistic programming reached an estimated 1,000 youth and tens of thousands of residents. LUMA presents this culminating exhibition featuring some of the Buddha sculptures and various artistic responses from the communities involved.

From olive to oil in the Italian tradition

In August, JFRC students participated in the celebratory olive harvest. After a day and a half of work, more than

40 olive trees on campus were stripped bare. SLA Jack Spittle and eight students then took

the resulting 1,200 pounds of olives to a fran toio—olive press—just north of Rome in the countryside.

There they watched their olives as they were cleaned, chopped, mixed, and

then pressed. Forty-five minutes later their oil began to ooze out, and contin-ued to do so for half an hour, after which 70 liters of the green liquid rested in four massive containers.

The quality of a particular olive oil is determined by a variety of factors, but the classifications generally seen on la-bels are determined by acidity level. The JFRC oil has an acidity level of just 0.35%, which makes it extra virgin oil.

Making sense of financial choices

Loyola has been awarded a grant from the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) to develop a financial literacy program for graduate and undergraduate students. The grant was awarded as part of the CGS best practice program, Enhancing Student Financial Education, co-sponsored

by TIAA-CREF, a leading financial services provider. Samuel Attoh, Loyola’s Gradu-ate School dean and principal investigator of the project, sees this as a welcome opportunity to promote financial education for multiple ben-eficiaries across

the University. “It will provide our students with broad access to CGS-developed financial educational tools and resources and establish a firm foundation for financial management, academic success, and asset building in the future,” says Attoh.

Waiting for the CTA bus? Stop and look around. What do French fries, roofing shingles, and plastic bottles have in common? Look inside a CTA bus shelter, or what we like to call a “corner classroom,” to find out. This fall, Loyola unveiled a new advertising campaign to highlight its academic programs and the research and teach-ing being done at the University. The campaign will appear on multiple channels including Hulu, RedEye, the Chicago Tribune, and the CTA.

The next time you need a bus in Chicago, look for a Loyola-sponsored shelter. You’ll stay warm and dry—and you may even learn a thing or two.

SCHOOL OF LAW

A legend of the lawLoyolans gathered at the School

of Law on June 12 to celebrate the 80th birthday of Professor Emeri-tus Richard A. Michael (BS ‘55, JD ‘58), affectionately known to many as “RAM.” Fellow alumnus Hon. John J. Cullerton (BA ‘70, JD ‘74), president of the Illinois Senate, served as master of ceremonies.

An endowed scholarship has been created to honor Professor Michael, who has taught at Loyola

for nearly 50 years. The idea for the scholarship originated with University trustee Jack Hartman (BBA ’80, MBA ’82, JD ’85), who says he wanted to honor a teacher who changed his own life. “He made me want to prepare for and be at my best in class—I studied twice as hard for him as for anyone else,” Hartman says.

Michael says he’s honored to have a scholarship named for him.

“I’m glad that people think I made a contribution to the school over the years, and I’m pleased that this scholarship will give students the opportunity to attend law school when they might not have been able to,” Michael says. “Some may make great contributions to the state of justice in Illinois and the country.” To date, $346,017, includ-ing matched contributions by the University, have been raised.

Loyola’s Stritch School of Medicine is the first med-ical school in the nation

to announce that it is accepting applications for admission from undocumented immigrants.

“As a medical school built on Catholic and Jesuit values, we have a tradition of reaching out and encouraging the growth and development of future doctors from all walks of life,” says Linda Brubaker, MD, dean and chief diversity officer of the Stritch School of Medicine.

The decision to consider applications is a conscious step to help fill a void in the medical community. The United States is facing a significant shortage of physicians. In addition, large portions of the population are underserved by current distribu-tion and demographic profiles of physicians.

The DREAM Act enables qualified undocumented im-migrants to receive a two-year,

renewable authorization to remain and work in the United States. “DREAMers represent a previously untapped source of qualified and diverse talent that will enrich the medical education environment, the medical profession, and lives of patients,” Brubaker says.

Mark Kuczewski, PhD, director of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine’s Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy, also believes this is a beginning step in meeting a major public health disparity—access to care. “We believe these students will help broaden the diversity of the physician workforce. This will benefit not only the many patients who one day these physicians will serve, but also our entire student body. This will help all our students bet-ter understand the variety of cultures and people they will be treating,” Kuczewski says.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, believed colleges should be located near the heart of their cities, where they’d draw from siz-

able student populations and contribute to civic life. To a large extent, Marquette and Loyola were established to meet the need for higher education on the part of immigrant families inhabiting large portions of their urban areas.

This embrace of diversity and commitment to educational access remains an important part of our mission as universities. Sharing this sense of mission, the presidents of 90 Catholic colleges and universities recently issued a letter calling on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. We are in strong agreement with our peers that, as the letter states, “our immigration system is so deeply flawed, and in such urgent need of repair, that inaction is unacceptable.”

When Loyola and Marquette were founded, this cor-ner of the Great Lakes region was a hub of US immigra-tion. Together with those arriving from other states, im-migrants helped build the companies and institutions that are the bedrocks of our economies. They became elected officials, teachers, and artists. They were as vital to our cities as the people who had been born there. We need to allow immigrants today to contribute to our communities as they have so crucially done in the past.

As much as immigration reform is a practical need, it is also a moral imperative. We acknowledge the complexity of immigration law and the difficulty of reform, but we must keep the innate humanity of our brothers and sisters at the forefront of our discussion. At our universities, we see gifted graduates, who were brought to this country by their parents but lack docu-mentation, struggle to find employment and build lives for themselves.

There are more than 11 million undocumented persons in our country—nearly one million of whom are college-age. For the sake of our students, our com-munities, and our world, we must find ways to make them citizens who can contribute to the communities in which we all live.

Stritch School of Medicine is the first medical school in the nation to announce that it is accepting applications for admission from undocumented immigrants.

“. . . we have a tradition of reaching out and en-couraging the growth and development of future doc-tors from all walks of life.”

This program offers professional preparation for those in a senior position in a health care environment. The program’s incorpora-tion of teachings from ministry, health care, and bioethics creates a well-rounded curriculum that is vital for the work being done in Catholic hospitals worldwide. Students can choose to earn their degree either on-site at Loyola or online in the comfort of their own home, which allows individuals looking for flexibility a chance to have the Loyola experience.

Greater than the sum

If you ask anyone interested or involved in busi-ness or politics to come up with a short list of leaders they admire, most people are readily able

to do so. What is curious is that, more often than not, the leaders that are named are starkly different from each other in demeanor, talent, and temperament.

What I’ve concluded from my research is that there is no one definition of leadership and no list of attributes, virtues, or skills that all leaders must and do possess. Rather, leadership is a lived process affected by chance, time, place, and specific circum-stances, as well as the unique personality of the lead-er involved. Successful as well as failed leaders earn their reputations and their niches in history by how well their personal attributes and abilities matched the demands of their time on the job. For example, would Abra-ham Lincoln be as admired and renowned as he is today if he had lost the American Civil War and not been able to end slavery?

Just as there is no one defini-tion of leadership, so too there is no one single “model leader” who embodies a perfect temperament and has all the tools and talents necessary for being successful in any and every arena. Nevertheless, we argue that at its core success-ful leadership is based on two elemental ingredients: character and stewardship.

By character, I mean what a person believes in, what they hold dear, what they value, what ethically motivates them, how they view their responsibilities to others. By stewardship, I mean that lead-ers must be agents or servants of the people they lead. Leadership is never about the leader. The first and final job of leadership is to serve the needs and the well-being of the people that they lead.

Leadership is a duty, an obligation, and a service to others. In the words of former CEO and manage-ment scholar Max De Pree, “The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential?”

Choose good foodScott Commings, executive chef at the Retreat and Ecology Campus, on the benefits of seasonal produce and local connections

We live in a time of con-venience. We can order anything from around the

world and have it at our door within 24 hours. That access is a wonder-ful thing to have as a chef, but when do we begin to sacrifice the integrity of food by having things so readily available?

Through our restaurants and retailers, we have been taught that it is always possible to get that perfect red tomato for our salads in the middle of January. We can pick up ripe-like

produce any time of the year, whether it is in season or not. What do we lose by this? We lose much of what that ingredient was grown for, including, in many cases, nutrition. We lose flavor and natural sweetness in our vegetables. On average, the vegetables we consume are traveling over 1,500 miles to get to us. Produce is picked before it is ripe and full of nutrients. We need to look more toward season-ality to determine our daily menus.

Here at the Retreat and Ecology Campus, we are trying to fully grasp

the farm-to-table relationship. With over five acres of growing space, we are able to supplement a good portion of our produce used in our facility. We work with local farmers as well, which both provides us with products and supports their efforts. We are lucky to be located in an area with an abun-dance of growers and livestock farms.

I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of the local farmers in my area, thanks in part to my profession, but also to our community that supports and yearns for our local market. I

have been able to develop wonderful relationships with the farms that are supporting our community. Farmers just want to produce. They are the backbone to our food systems. These are the people that sow the seeds in the spring, tend and nurture the vines as they grow, pray for rain, and then harvest the fruit that feeds our fami-lies. You can see the passion for their products as you walk through the market. You can see the hard work in their soil-laced hands as they hold up their crops and show their excitement

about the multi-colored carrots they just picked.

Everyone has heard the refrain, “Eat local!” It should really just say, “Choose good food.” Choose to eat foods that are grown in a way that maintains their nutritional qualities. Choose foods that aren’t processed and mishandled. Everyone can be a great cook. All you have to do is pick great ingredients and let them stand for themselves.

AQUAPONICS SYSTEMFish live in water tanks on the bottom level, while plants grow in trays on top. The waste water from the fish tanks is pumped up to the plant beds (1), where the plants extract the nutrients they need (2). The water, now cleansed of toxins, returns to the fish tanks (3)—and the whole process starts over (4). This “closed-loop system” requires a small amount of electricity for the pump, a little food for the fish, and sunlight for the plants. Yet it can grow plenty of food—fresh pro-duce and fish—to eat.

Architecture imitating lifeThe Institute of Environmental Sustainability is loaded with state-of-the-art technology to make it as energy- efficient as possible. By taking advan-tage of natural systems, from rainwater to ground temperature, the facility operates at a rare level of efficiency.

he new Institute of Environmental Sustainability (IES) facility is more than just a building. In some ways, it mimics the environment those within it seek to preserve. The geothermal heating and

cooling system operates on the same principle as the process that keeps a duck’s body warm when it is standing on ice. The aquaponics facilities act as scaled-down wetlands. Even the building itself is something like a tree, with deep roots that get energy from the ground and a roof that harvests rain water.

This idea—that by understanding how our en-vironment works, we can be better stewards of it, which will benefit us in return—is at the heart of the Institute of Environmental Sustainability. The

building, and the programs under the umbrella of the institute, demonstrate that sustainability is a part of all facets of life, at Loyola and in the world beyond. “Sustaining the health of our environ-ment is the critical issue of the next generation,” says Nancy Tuchman, PhD, founding director of the institute. “It’s a Jesuit way of thinking, and it’s an issue of responsibility. We see environmental issues as social justice issues.”

The institute is a cooperative endeavor that spans campuses and disciplines, addressing environmental issues from the molecular level to entire ecosystems, and from personal responsibil-ity to environmental policy. Research taking place within the institute ranges from the compila-tion of data about the damaged Chicago area waterway system to field ornithology courses to

WATER HARVESTINGThe roof is designed to capture as much rainwater as possible and divert it into a 3,000-gallon cistern within the facility. This water is then reused for irrigation—and even to flush some of the toilets in the building.

A striking floor display allows passers-by to monitor the activity of the geothermal heating and cooling system (see description below). • The Clean Energy Lab features all-new equipment to produce biodiesel. • The institute’s model dorm room showcases best practices for dorm life, including energy-efficient electrical devices, a regulated thermostat, and more.

GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMThis heating and cooling system takes advantage of the near-constant 58° temperature that is below ground all year. Extracting heat from the ground in the winter (shown here) and bring-ing cooler water into the building in the summer cuts the building’s heating and cooling costs by 30 per-cent. This 91-well system is the largest geothermal system in Chicago.

Bolstering the bees

The United States De-partment of Agriculture estimates that nearly a

quarter of the crops in American diets require bee pollination. Yet managed bees, such as honey bees, along with some wild species, are under threat from new and emerging diseases, as well as environmental and management stressors.

Thanks to a grant from the USDA, Kelly Garbach, PhD, of the Institute of Environmental Sus-tainability, is working to find ways to help growers deliver sufficient pollination to those crops that need it. Now in its first year of a projected five, the Integrated Crop Pollination project includes collaborators from 16 institutions, including universities, govern-

ment agencies, non-profits, and private indus-try. Garbach describes the interdisciplinary project as incor-porating habitat enhancement

for wild bees, farming practices to support bees, and use of diverse managed bee species to support economically viable farm systems.

Although European honey bees, a non-native species to North America, are the most fre-quently used managed pollinators in the U.S., native bee species can

also contribute to crop production to lessen the effects of honey bee decline. Team researchers are studying ways to integrate those native bees into the production of high-value specialty crops, such as almonds, apples, cherries, and blueberries. In other words, which species of bees can be the most useful, and in what combination with honey bees?

The researchers are also looking at ways to increase the pollination provided by those bees. “Honey bees that are shipped around the country have a very difficult task,” Garbach says. “Growers that rent hives are trying to make sure they have bees working when their crop hits peak bloom.” As climate patterns fluctuate and bee rentals become more limited and costly, growers are looking into ways to support bee populations year-round, such as planting strips of flowers that support bees and providing nesting habitats, as well as tailoring soil tillage and

pesticide applications to avoid disturbing them.

Garbach is leading work with growers and conducting interviews to measure adoption of integrated crop pollination practices. “We want to know who’s adopting these practices, whether they’re working, and how they’re being communicated.” Garbach says. She also works to identify innovators in a community that others might go to for advice or recommendations on a new practice. The interviews Garbach is now conducting will inform ex-tension efforts over the next three or four years, as well as provide information on how pollinator management changes over time.

Through experimentation, data collection, and targeted com-munication, researchers with the Integrated Crop Pollination project may be able to ease the burden of declining honey bee popula-tions on growers and consumers alike.

The Integrated Crop Pollination project aims to find ways that native bees can supplement declining honey bees to pollinate high-value crops.

soil evaluation. The Retreat and Ecology Campus, including its student-run farm, is a vital arm of the institute. The new LEED Gold-certified building, which opened on September 6,will be a center of sustainability at the Lake Shore Campus. Featuring classrooms, labs, academic departments, and student housing (San Francisco Hall) under one roof, as well as two student gardens, two aquaponics fa-cilities, a green café, and other innovative components, it is designed to integrate sustainable thinking and sustainable living.

“Our Institute of Environmental Sus-tainability gives us an opportunity to drill down and dig deeply into knowledge of the science behind environmental prob-lems, but it also offers the hopefulness of solutions that we can provide,” says Tuchman.

The institute offers a BA in environ-mental policy and a BS in environmental science, as well as five-year BA/ or BS/MBA programs designed to help students understand the implications of business and consumer products and practices. All students, regardless of their majors, take a Core course in environmental issues.

“We want to help channel students into careers in environmental sustainabil-ity, whether it’s business or policy, public health, or environmental science,” Tuch-man says. “And we want all of our gradu-ates to have literacy about environmental issues—to connect them to the sense of urgency that we ought to all have.”

The hope is that the institute will eventually become a fully-fledged school. At Loyola, the culture of sustainable responsibility—and the resources to find solutions—are growing.

Brewingwith purpose

Patrick Conway (BA ’74, JFRC ’73–’74), co-owner of Great Lakes Brewing Company,

feels strongly about protecting the region in which his company is rooted.

By ANASTASIA BUSIEK

FALL 2013 17

Pat, who founded the Cleveland-based brewery along with his brother and co-owner, Dan, sees the company as providing much more than tasty microbrews. In fact, the successful brewery has adopted what it calls a “triple bottom line”—defined as “economic, social, and environmental practices that achieve a sustainable yet profitable business.” It’s less a list of initiatives, although there are many, than a philosophy.

It was while studying at the John Felice Rome Center that Conway encountered great European styles of beer, traveling and sampling in the UK, Germany, and Belgium. Years later, while working in Chicago as a teacher and social worker, Conway couldn’t stop thinking about opening a brewery. His brother Dan, then working as a loan officer at a bank, had attended the Rome Center twelve years after Pat, and the experience had resonated equally. “My wife said, ‘Do it or don’t do it, but stop talking about it,’” Conway recalls. The two brothers founded Great Lakes in 1988.

Travel exposed Pat Conway to more than just great beers. It also informed the social and environmental missions of the brewery. Time spent in developing countries—after attending graduate school for social sciences at the University of Chicago—showed Conway how people with few resources make the most of them. “We’d see people using newspaper as insulation or a tin can as a shingle. It was eye-opening to me,” Conway says. “I knew that we had to make better use of our resources at home.” He worked for a

time at a recycling operation in Chicago, and resource management and sustainability were core principles of Great Lakes from the outset.

“We were doing environmental work, supporting nonprofits, being very careful about our financial status and trying to have measured growth and common sense business plans, even before we called it the ‘triple bottom line,’” Conway says.

There are a number of sustainable practices and facilities that set Great Lakes apart from the crowd. They include a retractable roof and straw bale walls with a heat-radiant floor and fireplace, as well as 12 solar panels and an energy-efficient boiler, at the company’s brewpub. The deep fryer grease fuels a shuttle bus (the “Fatty Wagon”) which transports customers to sporting events. The brewery operates two farms that use composted kitchen scraps and used grain from the brewery. The spent grain is also fed to worms that produce castings used to fertilize the farms. Great Lakes also sponsors the Burning River Festival, an annual event that has raised close to $400,000 for groups that work in the area of water quality and sustainability. The company recycles glass, paper, hops, and brewer’s barley, and makes many of its paper goods from recycled material.

Although these measures can be expensive to put in place, Conway believes that they are entwined with the company’s success. “Our customers are looking for inspiration,” Conway says. “They don’t want to see ‘greenwashing;’ they’re looking for companies that are real models of responsible sustainable practices.”

Conway’s latest project combines several passions: inspired by a love of history and

archaeology, he is attempting to brew beers in an ancient style, in partnership with the University of Chicago. “It seemed natural to reach back, to have a conversation about what our ancient brothers and sisters drank,” he says. Conway is discovering how tricky it is to make a palatable beer using Sumerian techniques from 5,000 years ago. “It’s got a lot of bacteria. What we gleaned was that’s why they used so many dates, figs, raisins—to mask some of the off-flavors,” he says. The ongoing project was featured in the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune this summer.

The three waves in

the company’s logo represent water—the largest ingredi-ent—but also the three components of the “triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental practices that achieve a sustainable yet profitable business.”

The Conways’ Loyola roots go deep. Pat Conway’s wife, Jeanne, and all of her eight

siblings—Pat, Mike, Loretta, Peggy, Rich, Terry, John and Liz—went to Loyola. Six of the siblings, including Jeanne, attended the Rome Center. Jeanne’s father, Dick Matre, was Dean of Faculty at Loyola for years. Pat and Dan’s oth-er brother, Joe, also attended the Rome Center. Dan’s daughter, Clare, recently graduated from Loyola, as did Pat’s son, Emmett. Emmett also attended the Rome Center.

n a way, it’s all in the name. “One-fifth of the world’s fresh water is contained in our Great Lakes,” says Patrick

Conway (BA ’74, JFRC ’73–’74), co-owner of Great Lakes Brewing Company. “We have to be the protectors of it.”


He appears to be right. The brewery’s sales are up close to 25 percent this year. “I think these are indica-tors of a customer base that supports us beyond our award-winning beers,” Conway says.

And he intends to keep trying new things, even if they aren’t all successful all the time. “When you’re inno-vative and trying different things, you’re not always go-ing to bat 100 percent,” he says. “We built a greenhouse that was flawed and never panned out. The solar panels are doing well, but not as well as we’d thought. Our first attempts at working with local farms were abysmal fail-ures, although we are now on track with two farms and they are instrumental in our restaurant having achieved record sales.” It’s being unafraid to fail, he says, that keeps the success coming. “It’s part and parcel of being innovators—you make mistakes,” Conway says. “But we aren’t daunted. We move ahead.”

At a recent company summit, Great Lakes committed to giving back 1 percent of sales to social causes and the arts, and another 1 percent to the environment. “It’s up to us to protect our resources and our community,” Conway says. “It’s part of how we were raised. We want to be successful, but we also want to have fun, to look out for others, and to be generous in spirit.”

Cheers to that.

What’s in a name?

The Great Lakes beers feature significant names.

BURNING RIVER

Pale Ale

Named for a 1969 fire on the Cuyahoga River that sparked the Clean Water Act of 1972.

DORTMUNDER GOLD

Golden Lager

The first beer produced by Great Lakes. In the mid-19th century, brew-eries within the city of Dortmund, Germany, be-gan brewing beers in the same manner, resulting in what is now called the “Dortmunder” style.

ELIOT NESS

Amber Lager

That’s right—a beer named after a Prohibition agent. In fact, the Great Lakes Brewpub is located in a historic tavern once frequented by Eliot Ness when he served as Cleve-land’s Director of Public Safety. And there’s more: the Conways’ mother worked for a time as Ness’s stenographer.

EDMUND FITZGERALD

Porter

Named for the freighter that sank in Lake Superior in 1975.

COMMODORE PERRY

India Pale Ale

Named for the naval officer and War of 1812 hero who fought the British on Lake Erie.

A 12-panel solar thermal system is part of Great Lakes Brewing Company’s efforts to use renewable energy.

Enter the world of America’s first Euro-pean explorers by perusing the 1 EDWARD A. CUDAHY JESUITICA COLLECTION. The Jesuits’ vivid journals and letters, dating from 1565, describe their encounters with native peoples, the difficulties of establishing missions throughout the Americas, and their efforts to help preserve indigenous cultures. Dramatic stories of religious heroism had great popular appeal to the people back home. These explorers created some of the first definitive maps of the region.

A 2 HISTORY OF MEDICINE COLLECTION comprises 1,300 volumes published from 1695 to 1962. Subjects include the history of medical education, biology, genetics, anatomy, pharmacy, nutrition, bacteriology, surgery during the Civil War and World War I, and general histories of medicine in England and the United States.

A treasure of the special collections is a first edition of St. Ignatius’s 3 SPIRITUAL EX-ERCISES, dating back to 1548. A rare volume, and one near and dear to many at Loyola, the book is one of only six first editions in any library in the country, as far as Kathy Young, University Archivist, can determine. Accord-ing to Young, the volume is of high quality and in good shape. The cover is composed of vellum and the pages of cotton rag paper that resists yellowing with age.

The 4 CATHOLIC CHURCH EXTEN-SION SOCIETY PHOTOGRAPH COLLEC-TION highlights the various churches built by the society and the congregations assist-ed during the first half of the 20th century. During that time, chapel cars coupled to trains, wagons, boats, and later automobiles, brought Catholic services to poor parishes throughout the United States.

The 5 THOMAS J. MICHALAK COLLEC-TION consists of 18th- and 19th-century British broadside prints, political cartoons, graphical satires, illustrated books, and pamphlets. A collaborative project of the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities and the University Libraries is digitizing and making the works accessible on several platforms. The app allows profes-sors to add their own annotations and use the collection as a teaching tool.

Thomas Michalak continues to expand the collection with the generous donation of the 6 EDWARD GOREY COLLECTION. Next year, the Loyola University Museum of Art will present two exhibitions about the work of the Chicago native: Elegant Enigmas: the Art of Edward Gorey and G is for Gorey–C is for Chicago (exhibitions gen-erously sponsored by BMO Harris Bank).

The extensive 7 SAMUEL INSULL PAPERS, which includes a telegram from Thomas Edison, not only documents the development of public utilities, but includes photos of the Century of Progress World’s Fair in Chicago taken by Insull’s son, Samuel Insull Jr., who was on Loyola’s first lay board of trustees.

The 8 RAYMOND V. SCHODER, S.J., PAPERS is a large collection of correspon-dence, lectures, photographs, slides, and audio cassettes. The collection of 17,000 slides taken by Fr. Schoder, a Classical studies professor at Loyola from 1960 to 1987, includes his photos of classical sites in Greece, Rome, Egypt, and elsewhere, as well as art and architecture.

The 9 CONGRESSIONAL ARCHIVES houses the papers of former United States Congressmen Henry J. Hyde (JD ‘49) and Daniel Rostenkowski. Rostenkowski was elected to the US Congress in 1959 while still a Loyola student. He served 17 succeeding con-gresses until he was defeated for re-election in 1995. Hyde sat on the US House of Represen-tatives from 1975 to 2007. The chair in which Hyde sat while overseeing the impeachment of President Clinton sits in the corner of Room 218.

Special thanks to Kathy Young.

“It’s not us and them.”

“It’s we.”22 LOYOLA UNIVERSIT Y CHICAGO22 LOYOLA UNIVERSIT Y CHICAGO

With truth and compassionBy JENNY KUSTRA-QUINN

When Patricia Matuszek Drott (BSN ‘63) was working as associate director of Loyola’s Student Health Services in the early ‘90s, few people want-ed to talk about HIV/AIDS, much less learn about it. “Everyone assumed it wasn’t happening here at Loyola,” recalls Pat, MS, RN. “But it was.”

A young man who was HIV-positive came to Student Health Services and said he wanted to help educate his fellow students. Around that time, Pat had two friends pass away from the disease. And as she learned about their experiences and those of the Loyola student, she became aware that little was being done to support those living with HIV/AIDS and address the stigma and misconceptions associated with the disease. Pat took training from American Red Cross and helped launch a series of educational efforts at Loyola. It was the beginning of a new passion for her.

Years later, in fact, her experience at Loyola influ-enced her decision to accept a position as Catholic Charities HIV/AIDS Liaison to the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Pat, wh o recently received the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing’s Spirit of Ignatius Award, worked for 16 years as a public health nurse and nursing supervisor at the Cook County Department of Pub-lic Health. She also worked as a visiting nurse and went on to earn her MS in public health nursing at the University of Illinois at Chicago, graduating in 1984. She taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago, North Park University, and the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, among others.

Ten years ago, Pat left teaching for the Cath-olic Charities position, a role that combines her expertise as a nurse, educator, and HIV/AIDS activist. She is a resource to the Cardinal, parishes, schools, and the Catholic Charities staff. She works to increase awareness, dispel myths, and reduce

discrimination. She encourages people to get test-ed and learn their status. She wrote and produced a DVD, The HIV/AIDS Pandemic and the Christian Response, which was distributed to parishes in English and Spanish. Pat notes that the mandate for the Archdiocese’s response to HIV/AIDS came from Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, whom she says was “at the forefront of stimulating education, sustaining awareness, and encouraging compassion amidst all of the fear.”

She adds, “All of our activities are directed by Catholic social teaching.”

More than 1 million people in the United States are living with HIV, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pat says the out-look is different than it was many years ago when that young man approached her about raising awareness. A diagnosis is no longer a definite death sentence.

“There is hope, which is a word that has not been identified with the pandemic in the past,” Pat says. “But what has not changed is that we are still fighting the ignorance and the stigma.”

Although attitudes have evolved over the years, Pat says there are still a lot of misconceptions. She recalls a dinner out with a friend who asked her, “Why would you want to work with them?”

Pat replied, “It’s not us and them. It’s we.”Pat says her friend’s question reflects an atti-

tude that many people continue to have, which is why it’s important for the Archdiocese to take a leadership role in promoting understanding. “It’s part of our mission as Catholics. We offer compas-sion to all persons—the vulnerable, marginalized, and poor. In many cases, this includes people living with HIV/AIDS.”

Public health has been a focus for Pat since she became a nurse 50 years ago. Caregiving also continues to be a big part of her life. Her husband of 44 years suffered a massive stroke eight years ago, and she is his primary caregiver. Pat, who has two children and six grandchildren, says her expe-riences throughout her career have prepared her for this challenge, as well as difficulties she faces in educating the public about HIV/AIDS.

“It’s been quite a journey,” she says. “Sometimes it’s frustrating and you feel like you’re beating your head against the wall. But even if I reach just one person, it’s all worthwhile.”

Patricia Matuszek Drott (BSN ‘63) works to increase awareness and compassion for those living with HIV/AIDS.

brothers did the same for her, giving her the practical support and peace of mind required to keep up with her rigorous school schedule.

“I knew my brothers were at home maintaining my cattle herd so that I could focus on my studies,” Rod says. “It’s what allowed my success.” She returned home in the summers to work with the calves.

During her first two years at Loyola, Rod was still within the 21-year age limit and was able to show cattle. Those days are over now, but, in a way,

they set her to her current path. Rod’s love of animals and gross anatomy in-fluenced her childhood aspirations to be a veterinarian. Then, in her senior year, Rod took a forensic osteology class with Professor Anne Grauer and discovered she loved working not just with animal anatomy, but also human. She’s starting chiropractic school in Portland, Oregon, this fall. And although she’ll be far away from both her cattle and her family, neither will be far from her mind.

A family tradition

“I knew my broth-ers were at home maintaining my cattle herd so that I could focus on my studies. It’s what allowed my success.”JOLETT ROD (BS ’13)

Coming from her family’s cattle farm and a graduating high school class of 28, Jolett Rod (BS ’13) took her turn in college while her brothers cared for her herd.

Jolett Rod (BS ‘13) transferred a work ethic from her family’s cattle farm to Loyola.

Majoring in biology with three minors (anthropology, bioethics, and neuroscience), Jolett Rod (BS ‘13) completed 150 credit hours in four years. She also became EMT-certi-fied through Loyola and worked as a volunteer on-call 24 hours a day, responding to emergency medical calls on campus. But then, Rod is no stranger to hard work. Growing up on a cattle farm instilled a healthy respect for long days and commitment to a task.

The family lives and works on their cattle farm—Rod Farm—in Sublette, Illinois, about two hours west of Chicago. They rent out pastures and breed cattle to show and to sell. Rod’s father, Rodney, started a herd in his 20s. When each of his three children turned 8, he gave them two heifers from which the children went on to grow their individual herds—Jolett’s now numbers around 20. Although many farms stick to one breed, the Rods have a little bit of everything: Shorthorns, Maine-Anjous, Herefords, Simmentals, and more.

Jolett began showing cattle at age 8, as did her older brothers. Although her brothers, Rodney and Brody, did what she describes as “most of the hard labor,”—feeding and calving in rain, sleet, or snow—Jolett was responsible for the show cattle during the summers. It went something like this:

Get up before dawn. Take the cattle to the wash rack; tie them to their post. Soak, scrub, and rinse them. Take them inside, dry them with the indus-trial dryer, comb and brush them, tie their heads up so they stand, and feed them.

Rod showed at county fairs, local 4-H shows, and the Illinois State fair. When she was in 6th grade, her family started attending a livestock exposition in Louisville annually. Rod loved it all.

When each of her older brothers left home for college, the other took care of his herd during the school year. When Jolett left for Loyola, her

ate Quinby’s life is defined by two songs on her debut album, Tribute to Water. The first is the title song, inspired by the spiritual feeling

she experienced after visiting the breathtaking Sipi Waterfalls in Uganda. The second song, “Katrina,” recounts her memories of New Orleans, which she was forced to evacuate following the devastating hurricane.

Half of the album’s proceeds will be donated to schools in Uganda through the Dwon Madiki Partnership.

By JOHN T. SLANIA

“I didn’t really think about it until the album was complete, but my life in many ways has been touched by water,” Quinby says.

When she came to Loyola in September 2005, her name was Katharine Scrantom, a sophomore from Loyola University New Orleans. She, and some 250 other students displaced by Katrina, were

accepted to LUC in early September 2005 for what was supposed to be one semester. But Quinby immediately fell in love with Loyola.

“I was studying Spanish and education, and Loyola had this new program called Bilingual Elementary Education. And I ended up with a scholarship,” she says.

While at Loyola, Quinby helped to start Invis-ible Conflicts, a student organization dedicated to shedding light on global issues that don’t receive major media attention. One of the group’s cornerstone projects is the Dwon Madiki Partner-ship, which raises money and conducts service missions to northern Uganda, where residents are trying to rebuild after war destroyed their villages.

Quinby had long been involved in music. She learned piano and flute as a child and sang in the high school chorus. She learned to play the guitar as a teen and began writing her own songs. At Loyola, Quinby began performing at open mic nights at local venues such as the Heartland Café and Uncommon Ground.

After she graduated in 2008, Quinby spent six months as a substitute teacher in Chicago before traveling to Uganda for some mission work. When she returned, Quinby decided to pursue her musi-cal career instead of being a teacher.

“I was offered my ideal teaching job. But my gut was telling me it wasn’t right,” Quinby explains. “I said, ‘This is great. I spent all this money, and four and a half years of school, and I don’t want it.’”

Instead, Quinby performed her music at night while spending her days as a family support worker at the Howard Area Community Center, a social ser-vice organization in Rogers Park. She recently quit that job to focus on her musical career full time.

“It was kind of scary at first,” she says. “But I’ve come to believe that whatever comes in life, you need to immerse yourself in it. You can try to envi-sion what your life is going to be like, but you can’t really predict what’s going to happen,” she says.

The songs on Tribute to Water combine folk, soul, jazz and blues. Quinby hopes that her music can be an instrument for something positive.

“My hope is to keep playing music to promote peace and social justice,” Quinby says. “I think music has always played a role in bringing people together, and I hope to continue that.”

OUR BACK YARD

As the dean of Loyola’s School of Education, Michael Dantley knows the value of a safe learning environment. That’s why he helped students on the first day of school along a Safe Pas-

sage route outside McCutcheon Elementary School in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. After the Chicago Board of Education voted earlier this year to shut dozens of schools across the city, officials created the routes as a safe haven for students who now will have to walk farther to get to school—and possibly through gang territory.

Dantley, who was joined by more than a dozen faculty and staff members from the School of Educa-tion, said Loyola has a long-standing relationship with McCutcheon, which made this volunteer effort an easy decision.

“We’re doing this to show our commitment to the students and families we’ve worked with through the years, and to demonstrate the importance of the first day of school as setting the stage for the rest of the school year,” Dantley said. “Every student should feel safe in school.”

Approximately 50 volunteers from Loyola’s Educa-tion Law and Policy Institute and the Chicago Law-yers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law were also at schools during the first two days of class to assist students who were displaced by the closings.

“Our intention is to lend our legal expertise to assist in identifying issues early so they might be resolved,” wrote members of the monitoring project in a letter to Barbara Byrd-Bennett, chief executive officer of Chicago Public Schools.

HEALTH SCIENCES DIVISION

Coming together for health research

On August 16, Loyola broke ground on a $137-million medical research and educa-tion building that will support nearly 500 scientists and staff working together to improve health.

The Center for Translational Research and Education is scheduled to open in April 2016 on the Health Sciences Campus in Maywood. The five-story, 227,000-square-foot building is a collabo-ration among Loyola University Chicago, Loyola University Health System, and CHE-Trinity Health.

Researchers now scattered among buildings throughout the Health Sciences Campus will be centralized in the research and education center. The center will be built on what is now a parking lot between the medical school and an office building.

Ground has been broken for Loyola’s Center for Translational Research and Education, a cutting-edge facility that will foster collaboration and innovative research. The center will open in spring 2016.

A Loyola junior studies energy usage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Conner Keeffe, a junior double ma-jor in environmental studies and international film production, was one of eight students selected by the Office for International

Programs to receive a US State Department scholarship to spend the spring semester in Ho Chi Minh City through Loyola’s study abroad program. Some challenges were immediately noticeable.

Off the bat, she observed a lot of plastic

consumption. “Everything that you buy is go-ing to come in a plastic bag or a plastic cup or Styrofoam,” Keeffe says.

Keeffe also found the electrical layout to be an obstacle. “Ho Chi Minh is not set up very well to distribute sustainable energy—it needs smarter grids to distribute electricity,” she says.

Her exploration of the city, however, led her to a heartening discovery on the roofs of the city’s houses.

“Greater than 50 percent of households in Ho Chi Minh City are using solar water heaters,” says Keeffe. These solar water heaters, found on both homes and businesses, are not only practical and sustainable, but also cheap. “I learned that the cost of these solar water heat-ers is actually small enough that the average

household can afford one.“Solar energy is a much more viable option for

Vietnam because of five hours of peak sunlight a day,” says Keeffe. She says, however, that the high cost of solar panels and long payoff period of over 15 years discourages home and business owners from harnessing solar energy on a large scale.

Vietnam also employs the use of wind power, obtained from five wind farms throughout the country (mostly funded by the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan).

Though still a work in progress, Keeffe’s find-ings about sustainability in Vietnam have made her hopeful.

“These new projects are happening and pop-ping up in places, despite how hard it can be to get things done,” she says. “It was good to learn that the sustainable energy projects can happen anywhere.”

Senior Christian Capanna discusses cancer awareness in Jamaica.

Christian Capanna, a rising senior biology and classical civilizations double-major, called Montego Bay, Jamaica,

his home for 12 weeks this summer.Through an international health

program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health, Capanna conducted research on public awareness of prostate cancer by inter-viewing 600 men in Jamaica.

“I don’t think I’ve ever talked to so many people in my life!” Capanna says. “All I do all day is talk to people.”

According to a 2012 study, prostate cancer affects more Jamaican men than any other form of cancer. When prostate cancer is caught early on, the patient has a high chance of being cured with proper treatment; the program aims to have

more men getting preliminary testing.Full-time researchers on the project

in Jamaica will go back in three to six months and contact the 600 interviewed to see if they have been tested for prostate cancer to measure the effectiveness of the awareness program.

Capanna’s trip was his first time travelling out of the country. His trip to a rural clinic in the mountains opened his eyes to the qual-ity of health care in the region. While in Jamaica, Capanna applied to several medical schools, in Chicago and beyond, so that he can pursue his dream of be-coming a doctor after graduation.

Amy Lowell, diva poetMelissa Bradshaw’s new book explores Lowell’s work, reputation, and legacy

The word “diva” conjures up a number of occupations: opera singer, pop musician, actress. But Melissa Brad-shaw, PhD, of the English department,

researches a cultural phenomenon that has all but vanished from American society: the celebrity poet.

Bradshaw’s recent book, Amy Lowell, Diva Poet, was recently awarded the Modern Language Association Book Prize for Inde-pendent Scholars.

“She was one of many ce-lebrity poets, like Robert Frost, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Carl Sandburg, who read to capacity crowds,” Bradshaw says. “She

spoke to rooms of over 3,000 people, with adjacent rooms filled with people listening from outside.”

Audiences enjoyed Lowell’s dramatic readings of her poetry, which, unlike the lofty writing of many of her contemporaries, was more accessible to the common reader.

“Some of it is pretty old-fashioned, but I’d say half of it—the shorter, lyrical poems—could be written by anybody writing today,” says Bradshaw.

This commitment to keeping her poetry simple was partnered with a belief that poetry should not follow strict forms that govern language, rhythm, Amy Lowell, as pictured on the cover of Time magazine in 1925.

Called to healT he word vocation comes from the Latin

vocare, “to call.” The new Physician’s Vocation Program at the Stritch School of Medicine aims to cultivate this sense of calling in medical students.

John Hardt, PhD, vice president and associate provost of mission integration at the Health Sci-ences Division, launched the program in January of this year with the support of a Templeton grant from the University of Chicago’s Program on Medicine and Religion. The Physician’s Vocation Program is a direct response to data indicating that students graduate from medical school feeling less compassionate and more cynical about their work as doctors than when they started. Some report experiencing professional “burn-out” before start-ing their work as doctors.

The Physician’s Vocation Program is aimed at changing these attitudes by helping students to

understand themselves as called to the practice of medicine, with all its difficulties and frustrations.

“Medicine lends itself to important questions of human meaning and pur-pose, life and death, illness and suffering, hope and healing,” says Hardt. “We’d like to help our students grow into a more realistic and hopeful sense of what it means to be a physician.”

The first cohort of 22 students are participating in coursework on medicine and religion, forming a

community of shared support, and committing to a habit of prayer and an experience of Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises.

“I don’t want to have my faith be separate from what I do; I want my faith to be integrated in how I treat people and how I go about caring for others,” says Matthew Partain, a student in the cohort. “This program is really going to help me stay grounded and always remember why I got into medicine in the first place, which is to be able to bear witness to other people’s pain and to be able to see God in them, and, in that way, to provide the care and treatment that they need.”

or subject matter. “She made audiences feel like not only was it okay for poetry to break the rules, but that it was fun if it broke the rules,” Bradshaw says.

But it was not just Lowell’s talent as a writer that kept her in the spotlight. A member of the wealthy and influential Low-ell family (the namesake of the mill town Lowell, Massachusetts, and a lineage that in-cludes poet Robert Lowell and astronomer Percival Lowell—Amy’s brother), she was the closest thing 20th-century New England had to a Kardashian.

“People were really fascinated by this woman from this incredibly old, upright Boston family who was interested in travel-ing around the country delivering poems,” says Bradshaw. Forbidden by her family to pursue a college education, Lowell’s aspira-tions were unconventional, and so was her public persona.

“She was scandalous…she smoked cigars; she was rumored to be a lesbian; she was filthy rich,” says Bradshaw. “Some of her poems will make you blush. When I first read her, I couldn’t believe that someone was getting away with the stuff she was writing in 1914.”

As popular as Lowell was in her time, her name does not carry the same weight to modern ears as contemporaries like Frost or Ezra Pound. In her research, Bradshaw sought to understand how Lowell’s legacy became buried under the American liter-ary tradition. Her fall from popularity, to

Bradshaw’s mind, is part and parcel of Lowell’s identity as a diva.

“I think that when we think of female celebrities, we focus a lot on their quick rise to fame and their imminent fall,” says Brad-shaw. She attributes much of Lowell’s lack of enduring fame to her influential rivals, like Pound, whose acolytes praised his work and removed much of Lowell’s success from the narrative.

According to Bradshaw, commentary on Lowell’s gender and appearance—she was overweight—added to her decline in popularity.

“I researched all of the different inci-dences of people making comments about Lowell’s body, and it’s used by people to dis-miss her as a person,” Bradshaw says. “But it comes to influence the way people think about her work. People talk about women and their bodies in a way they never talk about men. Ezra Pound had really bad hair, but no one ever says, ‘His hair was crazy.’”

Although Lowell’s reputation was overshadowed by that of her male con-temporaries for much of the 20th century post-World War I, Bradshaw says it is time to give her her due as an influential literary and cultural figure.

“She was always here,” Bradshaw says. “I’m not uncovering some forgotten woman who was obscure and difficult to find.”

Amy Lowell died in 1925 at the age of 51. In 1926, she was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

“Patterns” is Lowell’s best-known work. View the entire poem at LUC.edu/loyolamagazine/patterns.

from “Patterns” by Amy Lowell

I walk down the garden paths,And all the daffodilsAre blowing, and the bright blue squills.I walk down the patterned garden-pathsIn my stiff, brocaded gown.With my powdered hair and jewelled fan,I too am a rarePattern. As I wander downThe garden paths.


PLAYTIME

Olympic gold with Team USA • As a girl growing up, I never remem-ber seeing women playing basketball on TV. Now we were representing our country to viewers around the world. It was such an honor repre-senting my country three times. I enjoyed meeting people from other countries. It taught me to respect people of different backgrounds.

On playing her inaugural WNBA game seven weeks after giving birth to son Jordan • Seven weeks after the birth, I was out on the court. I hope I was more than just a role model for little girls, but for working women as well. You don’t have to make sacrifices to be successful in your career and as a mother.

A standout career • Every athlete dreams of winning a national championship. Not many have the opportunity to do it once. I got to do

it four times in a row. It was a huge accomplishment and I take a lot of pride in it. I view playing in the WNBA as my platform to achieve bigger things on this earth as part of God’s plan.

On transitioning from player to coach • The first thing I want to teach the young ladies at Loyola is to believe in yourself. Not just in basketball, but in life. If you don’t believe in yourself, you won’t suc-ceed. . . . Things are not always going to be great. There are going to be obstacles. But you have to deal with them and overcome.

On her first experience as a coach • The hardest thing will be that I won’t have control of the game. As a player, I always thought I was going to win the game. As a coach, all you can do is stand on the sidelines. The only thing I can do is prepare the players

as best as I can to put them in a posi-tion to win.

On scrimmaging with the team • I haven’t suited up for a scrimmage yet. But I’m getting the bug. Once the season starts, I’ll get out there with them at practice. I think they will learn more if I demonstrate to them how to do something rather than just tell them from the sidelines.

On this year’s Rambler team • I’m excited about this team. We have a lot of young players. And we’re joining the Missouri Valley Confer-ence. But I love being the under-dog…We’re definitely going to make some noise. But I’m just telling the girls to believe in themselves, work as hard as they can, and that’s all you can do.

Basketball star Sheryl Swoopes achieved a lot during her storied

playing career, including a NCAA championship, three Olympic gold medals, three WNBA MVP awards and four consecutive WNBA champion-ships. She even got her own sneaker line: Nike Air Swoopes. Now she brings her experience to a new role as Loyola’s wom-en’s basketball coach. Loyola magazine asked Swoopes to share her reflections on the past and vision for the future.

Chicago to Bangladesh, for the Philippines

How does a girl born and raised in suburban Detroit end up playing soccer on

the Philippine National Team?Meet Monika Lee, a midfielder

on Loyola’s Women’s Soccer team. Her father, Tom, is a native of Troy, Michigan. Her mother, Nernone, was born in the Philippines, and came to

the United States at age 4. Because of her mother’s lineage, Monika

Lee was eligible to try out for the Philippine National Team. She made the team and spent part of her spring competing in the Asian Football Con-federation Women’s Asian Cup.

Lee, a junior marketing and information systems major, always considered herself a typical subur-ban soccer kid: she earned many individual awards while helping take her Eisenhower High School team to the state finals. She played club soc-cer, and her team took three straight Michigan state titles.

As she grew up, Lee’s mother never let her daughter forget her Philippine heritage. And as Lee grew

more accomplished as a soccer player, her family encouraged her to try out for a spot on the Philippine National Team.

“At first it was like, no way. I felt like it was so out of the world to me,” Lee says. But after improving as a midfielder on the Rambler team during her sophomore season, her coach, Barry Bimbi, encouraged her to give a shot at making the

Philippine team. Lee did make the team, meaning she had to complete her Loyola final exams early in May and fly to Bangladesh for the Asian Football Confederation Women’s Asian Cup.

“It was stressful taking the exams early, but it was such a great experi-ence,” Lee says.

Lee’s team, known as the Malditas, romped in the opening game,

beating Iran 6-0. The team lost 1-0 to Thailand, then beat host Ban-gladesh 4-0. If the Malditas would have beaten Thailand, the Philippine National Team would have qualified for the 2015 World Cup.

“That game was the most heart-breaking game I ever played,” Lee says. “I’m not the type of person who gets super-emotional. But if we beat Thailand, we go to the World Cup.” Despite that setback, Lee says she grew on a personal level. She played the full 90 minutes of the first two games—more time than she’s ever played before. “I know now I can push myself, play to a higher level,” Lee says. “I will now hold myself to a higher standard.”

These words are music to the ears of Ramblers coach Bimbi. He hopes Lee will return for Loyola’s fall sched-ule as a team leader. “I think the experience gave Monika confidence in her ability and talent,” Bimbi says. “Monika has always been outgoing and a good teammate. Now I think she has a new level of maturity that will make her a leader.”

Loyola joins the Valley

Loyola has accepted an invitation to join the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). All sports, with the exception of men’s volleyball, made the jump for the 2013–2014 season. Men’s volleyball remains a member of

the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA). Founded in 1907, the Missouri Valley Conference is the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I athletics conference, second only to the Big Ten Conference. In its first 106 years, the Valley has had 32 members. Loyola is the league’s first member from Chicago.

The change in conference affiliation for Loyola comes after 34 years in the Horizon League, of which it was the only remaining charter member from its inception in 1979. Other members of the MVC (as of July 1, 2013) include Bradley University, Drake University, the University of Evansville, Illinois State University, Indiana State University, Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University, the University of Northern Iowa, and Wichita State University.

Junior Monika Lee competed on the Philippine National Team over the summer.

IN MEMORIAM


ALMA MATTERS

EXTRAORDINARY ALUM

Catherine De Orio JD ’01 • TV Host

atherine De Orio (JD ’01) recently replaced Alpana Singh as host of the popular Chicago-area res-taurant review program

Check, Please! on WTTW–Channel 11.

The new gig • It’s a dream job. I’ve been working toward something like this. To see my dream become a real-ity—well, I have to pinch myself.

From JD to TV • After law school—which I went to in order to work within the arts, I did nonprofit work with artists, settling things like licens-ing or tenants’ issues. Then I worked

at a small litigation firm in Chicago. It didn’t quite fit.

Host with the most • When I wasn’t at work as a lawyer, I threw parties. I did a tiki party and turned my loft into a tiki hut. There were fish in the bathtub, I covered the bar in raffia, and I sourced real vintage tiki glasses. I served Polynesian food. These creative parties and cooking for my friends were what really made me happy.

Making a change • There were a few things I loved about working

in law—you have a skill set that can help people. Sometimes you can change lives. But I had one of those moments where I thought, “Is this what my life is going to be?” My heart was in cooking, and so I decided on culinary school.

Balancing act • That was an inter-esting time. I kept my job at the firm and had to do night and weekend school (at Kendall College). I’d fly out the door from work to get to my car and change into my chef’s whites at stoplights. I wouldn’t get home until midnight.

Breaking in • I got recruited as a product spokesperson. I started do-ing television appearances around town, then I started traveling, and that spiraled. I’d do cooking demos, recipe development, things along the lines of “What else can you do with cheesecake?” I did food styling for catalogs. I took everything I could, even unpaid jobs. Over time, that built my network, and I could focus on what I liked, writing restau-rant columns, and so on.

Life on the stage • Practicing law was actually a great background for this—doing a Rachael Ray segment isn’t that different from doing your opening and closing in front of a judge. The first time I went in front of a judge, my leg was shaking like a jackrabbit. But I got used to it over time.

Last meal • I’d want things that remind me of my family. My grand-mother’s gravy over bucatini. My mom’s red velvet cupcakes.

No regrets • I believe if you don’t try to change your situation, you lose your right to complain about it. To anyone considering a career change, I say, have the courage to do it. You have the power to change your life, and not in a new-age-y way. It’s hard work, but I never regret it. I love it.

FALL 2013 43

Left: the St. Ignatius College library; above: a page from the St. Ignatuis College library cataloge, circa 1878

Sometime in the late 1870s, a librar-ian created a subject catalogue for the burgeoning library of St. Ignatius

College, the forerunner to Loyola University Chicago. Founded at the beginning of that decade on unbroken prairie on the west side of Chicago, St. Ignatius was part of an ambi-tious, coordinated movement by European-born Jesuits to found a network of Catholic colleges throughout the upper Midwest. Prospectuses from the college’s early year tout the dramatic growth of the library’s col-lection, which numbered over ten thousand volumes by the end of the decade.

Now, almost 140 years later, this manu-script catalogue is providing Loyola graduate students in the digital humanities, history, and public history a lens into some of the

most important tensions within nineteenth-century urban Catholic identity. In a seminar led by Kyle Roberts, assistant professor of public history and new media in the history department, students are reconstructing the catalogue in an innovative virtual library sys-tem. Their first task: to track down as many of the original books that survive in the library today as they can.

2014 marks the bicentennial of the restora-tion of the Jesuits, and Loyola is mounting a major summer exhibition at LUMA and a conference to commemorate the event. Each student in the seminar will select one surviv-ing book to have displayed in the exhibition, complete with her or his label text. To learn more about the Jesuit Libraries Project, visit blogs.lib.luc.edu/archives.
