As hr tur prgrssd, Pa-ss us shd t th quaty th Wdrw Ws Shs aa-dm rgs.
I kw mg that w wrway rdu r takg a hard kat our teaching programs, and it was
asy r m t kw that baus Ihad been here or a really long time,she said. From an administrativeposition, curricular reorm is one othe best decisions to pursue during aaa dwtur baus t dsnot take a toll on the endowmentand also improves the institution,sh addd.
Paxson hopes to visit Brown atleast once more beore assumingthe presidency but said she needsto ocus on Princeton responsibilitiesdurg Apr. Sh w ay takover as the Universitys presidentJuy .
Eg seectvt
Paxsons tenure marked twomajr hags t th sh thabshmt st admssto the school and curricular reormst ras th trdspary -us th sh.
Beore Paxson, the WoodrowWilson School oered the Univer-sitys only selective degree program.Sophomores interested in major-ing in public policy were requiredt appy t th sh. Arud ha th appats wr gray a-cepted to the 90-person class eachyar, Katz sad.
I was always very much reas-sured that i you were serious aboutbeing a Woodrow Wilson Schoolmajor and not just doing it orprstg, th yu wr gg t gtt, sad Adrw Lu, a sr thschool whose studies ocus on publichath.
Paxson said she saw a problemwith the schools lack o prerequi-sts. Studts wr t rqurd tcomplete any specic courses beoreappyg t th sh, a saguardr studts wh wud b rjtdrom the major. Paxson believed that
ths was a dsadatag t studtswho were accepted because they didnot ully understand the schools de-mads.
Princeton is a university that
puts emphasis on public service,Paxson said, reerring to the Uni-rstys mtt th ats sr-vice. Te Woodrow Wilson Schoolspay tras studts r pub-lic service, and Paxson said it waswrong or students to be told theyud t study t.
Every year, I would have terricstudts wh wud m t myoce and say I came to Princeton tog t th Wdrw Ws Sh,ad I just gt rjtd, sh addd.
Wh Pas put th ssu t at at a auty mtg, thr wasamst uamus supprt r th
prpsa.I just think (the application
process is) unair and in someways a urtuat sur u-necessary controversy at such an eliteuniversity on the basis o criteria thatI dt uy udrstad, sadMichael Oppenheimer, proessoro geosciences and international a-airs. Oppenheimer praised Paxsonsadrshp thrughut th prss,sayg h was mprssd wth hwsh hadd a tstd ssu.
Katz said he disagrees with thedecision because he said class size atthe school needs to be controlled. Headded that he is not completely sure
about the decisions implications, butthat h bs thr w w b aarg fu studts trstd majrg pub py.
Te decision to abolish selectiv-ity has made public policy more oa pt r m, Prt rsh-man Jonathan Esposito said. At rst,when I came in, I wasnt consideringit because o the application process,but (Paxsons decision) denitelypd th pssbty up.
As a rshma, t gs m r-tainty and allows me to start pre-paring or the departments require-ments without earing that my time
may g t wast, rshma AarCuba sad.
Many echoed Espositos senti-ment, but some pointed out thatthe elimination o the applicationprocess may even reduce the numbero students who are interested in themajr th mg yars.
Te selectivity made people ap-py t th majr wh wrt tr-std pub py baus thythught t was mr mptt rprestigious, said reshman KittyCk.
Te e cc
Paxsons other major change willat th jur yar urruum the program. Previously, studentsaccepted into the program would
have to complete two policy taskorce seminars during their junioryear. Paxson said visiting acultywth prattr bakgruds -t taught ths smars.
Tey werent learning the skillsthat they needed to tackle the se-nior thesis, she added. We learnedrm studts that thy d thr
junior year, but they came into theirsr yar bdsdd by what wasptd thm.
Within the new curriculum, stu-dents will only have one policy taskorce seminar and have one semestero a policy research seminar. Te
ocus is more on how to do researchon the policy area instead o learninghow to practice making policy in theara, Pas sad.
Lu said that, having recentlywritten his mandatory senior thesis,he thinks the changes will benetstudts.
A t srs wr st thbeginning because we hadnt had theha t d dpdt rsarhby ourselves on such a big scale,Lu sad. H addd that th thss s a dautg prjt r srsbecause it may be their rst majorrsarh prjt.
But Katz opposes the changes,
saying that the new curriculum willresult in many more courses becom-ing cross-listed within departments.
It will certainly be a less distinc-tive major, Katz said. Tere will beless ocus on public policy and moreus mthdgy.
Bg ses t
Paxson said these changes repre-sented one o the three major aspectso her Princeton tenure that makeher most proud. She added that shewould also like to be rememberedr hr wrk t bud th prgramin health policy beore becom-
ing dean at the Woodrow WilsonSh.
As a da, th mst m-portant things you do is recruit and
retain aculty members, Paxsonsad. Wh yu brg smwho gets tenure, youre making achange to the university that willmak a mpat r yars.
Tough her time as dean wasshort, aculty and students whoworked with Paxson consistentlypraised her leadership style andharatr.
Shes a terribly good person.Tat shs thrugh, Katz sad.

b prsdt.It was not surprising to me at
all. I knew that she would be a col-
lege president sooner rather thanatr, sad B Hr, prssro economics at Princeton, whochaired the department beorePas.
A kak r bg th rghtplace at the right time, coupledwith a remarkable ability to trans-late ideas into solutions has cata-pulted Paxson onto an ascent thatis not unprecedented but cer-tainly very quick, Keohane said.Paxson has consistently been themost qualiied candidate whenpositions have become available,she said. It is also hard to predict
when top positions open up inhghr duat, sh addd.
Paxson hersel acknowledgesthe role chance has played in herarr path. I b rtuatto have really good opportunities,she said. Some o my transitionsrom post to post havent reallyb pad but ha b thconsequence o positions openingup wh thy dd.
peset tet
Brown was not the irst univer-sity to vet Paxson as a potentialpresident. In 2009, Paxson wasone o two inalists in the running
or the presidency at SwarthmoreCollege, her alma mater. he col-leges presidential search commit-tee did not choose her becauseshe didnt have prior presidentialpr, sad Rbs H-lister, a proessor o economicsat Swarthmore who spoke withmembers o the committee at thetime. he committee ultimatelyselected Rebecca Chopp, who pre-
viously served as Colgate Univer-stys prsdt.
Remember that in 2009, wewere just entering into a reces-sion. We wanted someone whocould handle a college in a time orecession, said Alan Symonette, a
member o the search committeewho graduated rom Swarthmorein 1976 and has served two terms th gs Bard Maag-ers, its highest governing body.Chopp was a prior president, andgiven where we were as a college,that experience was invaluabler us.
But I dont remember (Pax-son) having too many, i therewere any, shortcomings, headdd.
Pieter Judson, a Swarthmorehistory proessor and membero the search committee, believes
Paxson will make a capable presi-dent. I think Brown will be verylucky indeed with Christina Pax-son as its new president, he wrote a ma t h Hrad.
But a star rsum a yg s ar prdtg th mag-tsm ad prsaty a -coming university president, andit is hard to avoid comparisons toPresident Ruth Simmons, knownor her ability to inspire and con-t wth studts.
Certainly Christina Paxsonbrgs a t r ad prs-ality, as well as c ompetence andgrat harm ad humr. I thk
youll like her a lot i you take heron her own terms, said RobertKeohane, proessor o interna-tional aairs at the WoodrowWilson School, warning not to
bandy about comparisons be-tw hr ad Smms. I yupt hr t b Ruth Smms,or i you expect Ruth Simmonsto be Christina Paxson, o courseyu aways b dsapptd.
o set up a set o standardsthat are deined by one person
ad t appy thm t smbdyelse would be, I think, the height uarss, h sad.
But Paxsons peers said onethg s rta sh s .
Sh drs a BMW. Sh usdto drive a Porsche. Shes even opento drinking a beer every now andthen. So what Im trying to say is,shes not stuy at all, and that canbe rare in academia, Honore said.
a c ecec
Pas was a auty mmbrin Princetons economics depart-ment or 26 years and was the irstma turd prssr thatdpartmt.
When running aculty meet-ings as the depart ment chair, shedisplayed an uncanny ability to
ammdat a arty p-ions, Honore said. She had an e-iciency uncommon in the world aadma.
What shes really good at istakg a agu da ad turgit into a concrete proposal andmpmtg t, h sad. Mstacademics like to talk and not getstu d.
Paxson ascribes a part o hersuccess to a passion or academicadministration. I like to do this,sh sad.
Soon ater assuming her po-sition as dean o the WoodrowWilson School, she created and
charged two committees to reviewboth the undergraduate programsand the masters programs oeredat th sh.
he undergraduate programreview committee recommend-ed the school modiy one o itscore policies, selective admis-sion, among others. Navigatingsuch a revision, as Paxson wasattempting to do, promised to bea dut path rddd wth st-backs it was hard to gauge how
aculty would look upon such asigniicant change, Nannerl Keo-ha sad.
Paxson displayed strong lead-ership, in guiding the commit-
ts prpsa thrugh a srs aculty meetings, by the end owhich the proposal was airlyheavily supported, Nannerl Keo-ha sad.
She clearly advocated a num-ber o our recommendations, butshe wasnt going to orce themdw th thrats th auty,Nannerl Keohane said. Somewr trrsa.
Paxson was willing to com-promise on some o the recom-mendations, particularly those re-garding prerequisites to enter theundergraduate program. But on
others more central to her vision,such as abolishing the applicationprocess or undergraduate publicpy majrs, sh hd rm.
Nannerl Keohane said Pax-sons ability to tackle unda-mental questions, and updateand streamline programs is one oher strongest assets and what shewill likely be most rememberedr rm hr tm as da.
Stanley Katz, proessor opublic and international aairsat the Woodrow Wilson Schooland aculty chair o the under-graduat pub py prgram,was critical o Paxsons reorm o
the program, stating that it wouldmak t ss dstt ad adt urruar hags that wudmake it too akin to the social sci-ences. But disagreements aside,Katz believes that Paxson, withher record o advancing rom pst t th t, has thmakings o a successul universityprsdt.
I thk pr mattrs, Ithk t hps, but thrs rasto believe that someone with just
a lot o talent could make thatjump, Katz sad.
resec tt etes
During her time as chair in
the economics department, andeven prior to that, Paxson hadcemented her reputation as an e-icient, articulate and thoughtuladmstratr.
In 2000, Paxson ounded theCenter or Health and Wellbeing,a center within the Woodrow Wil-son School that ocuses on healthpolicy, according to the centerswebsite. Paxson served as directoro the center until 2009, authoringseveral papers dealing with thesocioeconomics o health, ocus-ing mainly on children. One oher papers, published in 2004,
ocused on how childhood healthimpacts educational achievement,earnings, health and social sta-tus aduthd. Athr studypublished in 2004 investigated theeconomic causes o inant mortal-ity in Peru, concluding that thecollapse o public and privateexpenditures on health played anmprtat r.
Ater she ounded the center, Iknew she would go on to do evenbggr thgs, Hr sad.
h tr rs a ampo Paxsons ability not only to turna s t raty but as hrtendency to pursue research with
say ba appats.She studied economics because
t smd th prt baa theory and practice, wrote Ste-phen OConnell, a proessor oms at Swarthmr, aemail to he Herald when herst was rst aud.
Some peoples research is veryabstract. Hers is tied to health, de-pmt, Hr sad. Eryhuman being can kind o relatet ths qusts.

very happy but not in a saccha-rine happy way, but in a grounded

When I was here, I had notat r awarss wh thprsdt was r what thy wrlike ... I think just (the GranoCenter) is a perect example othe change, o how everyone isencouraged to share knowledgeand experience each others in-terests. It seems like its a muchmore open, luid place than whenI was here. But then the great stuthat makes it great is still here the philosophy o education,the standards o admission, thewd, wdru asss that yua tak that yu at tak ay-where else, the appreciation ouqu study.

Brown Student Agencies haspartnered with us University
student startup JumpOCampusto provide a website where userscan search or and post sublet-ting opportunities or places torent near the University. Toughth Brw prt th wbsthas only been online since April2, there are already 70 sublettingstgs ad may pp kgor opportunities to rent on the siteas th summr apprahs.
We wanted to provide this ser-vice to help bring all the sublettingoptions together in one place orstudents, said Lingke Wang 12,executive director emeritus at BSA.
JumpOCampus really opens upth (subttg) markt.
BSA had received numerouscomplaints rom students aboutdiculties nding subletters, ac-
cording to Wang. In response, BSApartnered with JumpOCampus,an o-campus housing site. BSAchose the site over other optionspartly because o their studentoundation and specic goal oserving students and universityadministration, Wang said. Beorethis option, students oen relied onless centralized advertising optionsk Fabk ad Cragsst.
I started using the website aweek ago. So ar weve gotten about0-5 pp ma us sayg thyare interested in sublett ing, wroteMarley Pierce 13 in an email to
Te Herald. ( JumpOCampus)has b s usu ad sussuor us that we havent had to usethr mda utts.
JumpOCampus was udd
by u graduats, Mark Abram-wz ad Ky Nhs-Shmz,who are now the chie executiveocer and chie technology oceror the service respectively. Tetwo ounders teamed up in their
junior year and are participating insra startup ubatrs ud-ing Betaspring and Masschallenge,ardg t Abramwz. I thpast ew months, JumpOCampushas rapidly expanded rom serv-ing two to 10 colleges in RhodeIsland, Massachusetts and NewYork, Abramowicz said. Teir goals t b partrd wth 0 shs

(JumpOCampus) has a waybetter user interace than Craigslistas its customized specically tohousing and you can really searchr ad prd mr dtas astandardized way, wrote FriedaKay 12 in an email to Te Herald.
Additionally, the website has anedge over its competitors because itis specically tailored or studentsand university administration bystudents. Because only students

When he irst arrived at Brown,Vincent ompkins 84 wasnt surehe wanted to be a teacher. Butit grew as a potential interest,h sad.

ompkins noted the dier-ences he aced between his ad-ministrative duties at a universitycompared to a preparatory school.
O th ta hagswas assuming leadership o aschool as an outsider, he said. Somuch o leadership is enabled byestablishing relationships o trustand mutual respect with everyone th mmuty.
But or the most part, the sur-prises and challenges have beenwm s, h a ddd.

hat aculty connection,Plumlee said, remains one o SaintAnns distinguishing actors, andis critical to its academic reedomad bty.
You just were allowed to pur-sue your passions in whatever wayyou wanted, she said. he teach-ers were there or you to do that.
Its a lot like Brown youcan pretty much take anythingyu wat, sh addd.

For some, that love or educa-tion can be ound early. Beorehomas Hassan 78 P 15 arrivedon campus, he said he knew hewatd t tah.

Aer almost two years in Congress,Rep. David Cicilline 83, D-R.I., re-turned to his alma mater last night to
address the Brown Democrats anorganization he co-ounded almost
30 yars ag wth Jh F. KdyJr. 83. He stressed the importance ouniying the Democratic Party as the
2012 congressional elections presentthe opportunity to gain the 24 seatsneeded in the House o Representa-tives or progress on a liberal agenda.
Cicilline began his speech bythanking students or being Demo-crats during a time when the Partyneeds the passion and energy oyug pp.
T grwg strgth th aParty movement has driven Demo-rats ad Rpubas Cgrssurthr apart dgay, h sad.Te Republican Party was hijackedby th a Party.

rom achieving the legislative changethat most o America wants. Tereare a lot o people who are disap-ptd, h sad.
For us to have a prosperousad brat my, yu d thave a middle class that can buy thegoods and services we produce, he
said. (Te Republicans) have beenadag ps that udrmth mdd ass ths utry.
During the question and answersession that ollowed his speech, stu-dents asked about Cicillines time inWashington. He said he struggleswith his status as a reshman con-gressman in the minority party,whr h has tt trb-utg t th gsat agda.
Regardless o his position, itsreally important to be staking outprrts ad pushg hard ththings you believe in. He wants hisellow congressmen to know andunderstand his positions, even i heis not able to urther his policy goalsat th mmt, h addd.
When asked about health careand environmental legislation, Cicil-line said ultimately much o the Re-publican Party is not interested inaddressing issues the Democratsd rua.
here are olks who unda-mentally dont believe in govern-mt. Ty dt b th ro government in protecting oodsaety, the environment and chil-drens health, he said. A lot o themdt b s.
Cicilline also addressed students

City Hall oice, he might go romreading to students to working ona city budget, or rom meeting
with businesses to giving tourso the Holyoke High PerormanceComputing Center, a project cur-rently under construction thatMorse hopes will help aid intransitioning Holyoke to a strongdgta-basd my.
Despite keeping such a busyschedule, Morse said his new jobhas b wdru.
I wouldnt want to do any-thing else, he said. Im in aposition where I can work withrybdy th ty.
he most meaningul part othe job has been connecting with
constituents, Morse said. Youha t b rybdys mayr.
Mrs s th tys rst mayrto speak Spanish, something thathas been particularly impactul a ty that s ary 50 prtSpanish-speaking. Even ater thecampaign, Morses bilingualismhas b usu, h sad.
Its hpd sd a mssag tresidents and constituents thattheyre welcome to city hall. Itst as thy put up a sg hmayor is bilingual peopleknow that, Morse said, addingthat he has oten served as a trans-lator in sta meetings when it was
ssary t spak Spash.Morse has also pushed or
making public documents andth ty wbst bgua.
And though it is impossibleto please everyone, Morse saidhe tries to weigh his decisionsagast what s bst r th tysuture. I was elected to use myjudgmt, h sad.
Its a pta ty, h addd.People have been around ormany, many years. Some people
are still trying to igure me out,but Im prtty dpdt. I a-ways have a stance, and I standup r t. Mrs has ay p-psd th rat a as
Hyk s hs ampag, rsta, bg that Hykshud ry w thgsto bring in money rather than in-
vesting in a casino, which he sayswould take money rom Holyoketzs.
Hads- argHolyoke residents oten en-
counter Morse outside the oice,and Morse said he makes it a pointt b a ry hads- mayr.
As a way to reinorce his mes-sage about the uture o Holyokesdowntown, Morse bought himsel
an apartment there and held anopen house or the press last Fri-day. In order to better understandHolyoke ireighters and policeoicers, Morse has spent a ewhurs rdg ag wth ah d-partmt.
Its one thing to do a job rombehind a desk. Its another thing toget out there, said Holyoke Chieo Police James Neiswanger, add-g that p rs wr ryapprat Mrss rts.
Morse said each ride-alongwas a grat arg pr,adding that he plans to shadowadditional departments in thear utur.
I got to know them at a morein-depth level, Morse said o hisexperience shadowing Holyokeireighters. Eating dinner andtalking and whatnot, going outon a ew calls I just think itsmprtat t bud that ss camaraderie between my oiceand people who have been work-g th dpartmt.
Having a sense o the peopleworking in each department is
helpul when it comes to makingdecisions that aect those depart-mts, Mrs sad.
Holyoke is a city with airlyhigh levels o poverty and drug
dealing, Neiswanger said, andMrs, whs ampag usdheavily on public saety, has beenhelping the police departmentlaunch a community policinginitiative, among other steps tompr pub saty.
Mrs was ab t mphaszthis goal even when his olderbrother was arrested on drughargs ast mth.
For me, this is just another re-minder as to why its so importantt supprt dduas ad am-s atd by substa abus,as w as makg sur tratmt
is available to those who need it,Morse said in a statement aterhis brothers arrest. My broth-ers experience has made me abttr ad strgr prs, as thas mad m mr awar thstruggs pp rght hr Hyk ad has bttr prpardme to address them. I ask Holyoker thr supprt ad pray rmy amily during this diiculttm.
Another tenet o Morsescampaign was promoting edu-at. Mrs has b atyinvolved in reshaping Holy-oke, particularly ocusing onredressing low literacy rates inelementary schools, said DavidDupont, Holyoke superintendent shs. Ad I ma atyinvolved. Hes helping us lead theharg wth rgard t hs d.
a et t s ts
Morse has been heavily in-volved in Holyoke rom an ear-ly age, serving on the HolyokeSh Cmmtt, th HykYouth ask Force and the HolyokeYouth Commission, among many
others. And at a young age, hekw h watd t b th mayro Holyoke even in the sixthgrade, he was so serious aboutit, Morses classmate Alexandra
Zapata td Out Magaz.Wh at Brw, Mrs rgu-
larly visited Holyoke to stay in-d, ad hs a smstr,he took all his classes on uesdaysto campaign in Holyoke duringth rst th wk.
he thing about Holyoke isthat you just are constantly at-tracted back to it, Morse told stu-dts Lst 20 wh h stdampus Fbruary.
As a udrgraduat -trating in urban studies, Morsealso stayed in touch with Dupont,who was Morses high schools
principal prior to becoming su-prtdt 200.
What I see is really a continu-ation o the interest and energythat he seemed to always have, notonly with regards to his school-work and participation in schoolbut also interest with regards tosocial change and social issues,Dupont said. Hes eager to learn,he certainly isnt araid to askqusts, ad hs ry rsp-sive, so I just hope he keeps goingag that rut.
Morse also was a mentee toormer mayor and now congress-man David Cicilline 83, D-RI and
said the two o them do occasion-ally keep in touch. I know thatDavids there i I need to call him,Mrs sad, but h addd that hmainly relies on his team o localadsrs.
Morse got on the mayoralbat atr wg th prmaryin September by just one vote,beating 67-year-old incumbentElaine Pluta. Following his vic-tory, Morses campaign printedshirts that read, I was the one
t.hough both Morse and Pluta
were eective mayors, there was agenerational dierence betweenth tw, bth th prmary ad
th gra t, Nswagrsaid. Morses ability to reach ayounger crowd oten throughsa mda ts k Fabkad Yuub was ky.
Now, Morse is probably oneo the most recognizable acesin the c ity, Neiswanger said. Hesthe ace o the city, and hes theutur th ty.
Fag th uturMrs has sad h hps t b
mayor or eight to 10 years, buthe told he Herald that he may betrstd stayg gr tha
that, depending on what progresshas b mad at that pt.
Chag taks a g tm. At th ssus that wr wrk-g ar gg t tak yars tsee the results on, Morse said,pointing speciically to educa-tion and e orts to grow Holyokesdwtw.
And while he knows he willnot win over everyone, Morse saidpeople have responded quite posi-tively to him and his multipleidentities that are not traditionalor a mayor young, openly gay,Spanish-speaking and the irst inhis amily to g raduate college, or
startrs.We may not have the same
identity as other people. Peoplelike knowing that they have amayr that has that pr,Mrs sad.
Neiswanger agreed, saying thatMorse serves as a great role modelr Hyk yuth.
Its kind o like, Look whatI d s ar, ad Im a yugman, Neiswanger said. Its verysprata.
