Puljic to Receive Notre Dame Award

The 1998 Notre Dame Award for inter­national humanitarian service will be given to Cardinal Vinko Puljic, the Catholic archbishop of Sarajevo.

The archdiocese over which Cardinal Puljic has presided since 1991 is the largest in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Catholics made up 18 percent of the population before the Balkan war. One measure of the war's ongoing dev­astation is the decimation of the arch­diocese, which included 520,000 Catho­lics when Cardinal Puljic was named archbishop. Only some 125,000 re­main. Similarly, of the 830,000 Catho­lics who lived throughout Bosnia be­fore the "ethnic cleansings," only some 400,000 remain.

Born in 1945 to a large farming family in Banja Luka, Cardinal Puljic was or­dained a priest in 1970. Since then he has served as a parish priest in his hometown, as a spiritual director in a seminary in Zadar and as vice rector of the seminary in Sarajevo. As Sarajevo's archbishop, he has become widely known as a vigorous ecumenist who collaborates in peacemaking with a small group of fellow religious leaders in the Muslim, Serbian Orthodox and Jewish communities. Last summer, the group, which includes leaders of the four principal religious communities of the country, formally established itself as the Inter-Religious Council in Bosnia Herzegovina to develop "practi­cal programs of cooperation" in peace­making and redevelopment.

Internationally recognized as a firm opponent of the ethnic and religious partitioning ofhis native country, Car­dinal Puljic has pleaded with the U.S. government and the United Nations for "decisive and credible action" to prevent further fragmentation and vio­lence. Last year, speaking on behalf of the Catholic bishops of Bosnia­Herzegovina, he warned that the war­ring factions' selective interpretations of the Dayton Accords "now serve as

301

the basis for further partition along ethnic and religious lines," and that "unless more is done soon, the parti­tion of Bosnia will be cemented, and the extremists who brought us war will become further entrenched."

The Notre Dame Award was estab­lished in 1992, in celebration of the University's Sesquicentennial, to honor persons "within and without the Catho­lic Church, citizens of every nation, whose religious faith has quickened learning, whose learning has engen­dered deeds, and whose deeds give wit­ness to God's kingdom among us."

Bermans Endow Scholarship

The University has received a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Bernard B. Berman of South Bend to establish a fund for un­dergraduate scholarships.

The Janet B. and Bernard B. Berman Endowed Scholarship, the first of its kind at Notre Dame, will be available to Notre Dame students whose high school careers have been distinguished by academic achievement, good char­acter, and leadership. Special prefer­ence will be given to Jewish students, first from the South Bend area and then globally.

Huether Supports Main Building Renovation

Notre Dame has received a major gift from Richard J. Huether of Schenectady, N.Y., to support the reno­vation of the Main Building which is expected to be complete by July 1999.

The Huether family has many ties to Notre Dame. John Huether of Sharon, Pa., enrolled at Notre Dame in 1918, majored in electrical engineering and was graduated in 1922. Ted Huether was a 1924 business graduate. Robert Huether was a 1939 aeronautical engi­neering graduate. Their cousin, Charles Huether, enrolled in Notre Dame's class of 1922, but died of scar­let fever in the University's infirmary in 1920.

Richard J. Huether is a 1955 Notre Dame marketing graduate. Fourteen years ago, following a long career as a marketing executive at General Elec­tric, he began a new association with the University as a lecturer and popu­lar mentor in the College of Business Administration. His lectures in mar­keting and management have been at­tended by more than 6,000 graduate and undergraduate business students. He developed and now facilitates the "Life After Notre Dame Athletics" pro­gram for the athletic department and is a member of the Sorin Society, the Badin Guild, the board of Adworks and the Friends of the Snite Museum.

Huether's gift is a component of the $767 million Generations campaign.

Fischer Underwrites London Study Centre

u

The new, Trafalgar Square site of the University of Notre Dame's London Study Centre will be named Marian Kennedy Fischer Hall, honoring the mother of the Notre Dame alumnus who is underwriting the project.

N

Charles K. Fischer and family of Fort Worth, Tex., have made possible the renovation of the historic building, lo­cated at Nos. 1-4 Suffolk Street in the heart of London. Constructed in 1906, the building originally served as the home of the Oxford and Cambridge Men's Club and most recently was oc­cupied by the British School of Oste­opathy. With some 27,000 square feet of usable space, the building is more than double the size of the University's current London site, at 7 Albemarle Street, and will enable the University to implement a major expansion and restructuring of its London study programs.

A 1949 Notre Dame graduate and Life Trustee of the University, Fischer is president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Harbison­Fischer Manufacturing Company, the world's largest manufacturer of subsur­face oil well pumps. He was a mem­ber of the advisory council for the Col­lege of Engineering from 1982 until his election to the Board of Trustees in Oc­tober 1991. He was elevated to Life Trustee in May 1997.

Fischer previously underwrote con­struction ofthe University's 198-unit Charles A. Fischer Graduate Resi­dences, dedicated in 1992 in honor of his father.

I. Minutes of the 268th Graduate Council Meeting

The minutes of the 268th Graduate Council meeting were approved with­out corrections.

II. Proposal for the M.Ed. Degree

Prof. Merz asked Michael Pressiey, di­rector of the M.Ed. program, to intro­duce. the proposal. Professor Pressley provided a short history of the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) program. The program started four years ago in collaboration with the University of Portland. The students, most of them Notre Dame graduates, simultaneously enrolled in a master's degree pro.gram

in teacher education administered by Portland but carried out on the Notre Dame campus during the summer ses­sions. Because of the difficulty in co­ordinati~n, the growth of the program, and the mcreased cost to Portland Notre Dame decided to assume th~ academic program. The experience gained in the first four years was in­valuable. Administrators learned what parts of the program worked, which faculty could fill slots, how to recruit and select the appropriate students, and how to pay for it.

Professor Pressley has been working with the ACE program since June. He

-voiced three observations. First, the faculty search is not done. Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, is a likely source of expertise but its education program is concentrating on the pro­cess ofbeing recertified. Therefore, it does not have time to entertain new projects at this time. Second, state cer­tification is likely and will be aggres­sively sought. The program has a track record, the faculty are sound and because the AGE program is consid­ered experimental, the state morato­rium on certifying new teaching pro­grams does not apply. Third, the bene­faction necessary to make the program financially self-sufficient is available. Nine million dollars have been raised

. already.

There are three reasons why Notre Dame can assume the academic part of the ACE program and award M.Ed. de­grees. First, there is considerable ex­pertise among social science faculty at Notre Dame in education and learning. Second, the sense of community and service is strong at Notre Dame. Third, the ACE program is consistent with the Catholic character of this uni­versity; i.e., it provides teachers for children with real needs.

Prof. Merz then opened the floor to discussion. Questions and comments focused on faculty, curriculum and in­frastructure of the program.

Since Notre Dame has no department or school of education, who has the ex­pertise to teach education courses? In response, Professor Pressley said that many faculty in the social sciences and

humanities have considerable research and practical experience in primary and secondary education. Gaps will be filled with one to three new faculty hires, "visiting" professionals and per­haps faculty at Saint Mary's College.

Math and science are essential courses in elementary grades and high school. Why aren't there any math or science professionals on your board, list of fel­lows or faculty? In response, Pressley said that this gap should be filled.

What makes this program different from Notre Dame's earlier, failed De­partment of Education? Pressley ar­gued that there is a world of difference between 1972 and 1997. Today, pri­mary and secondary schools are in cri­sis, some great schools are addressing the problem, and it should be the mis­sion of Notre Dame to address it, too.

Why is there no research component to this graduate program? The pur­pose of this program Pressley replied, is to certify teachers. Compared to other certification programs in schools of education at R-1 universities and normal schools, Notre Dame's program is typical. Pressley went on to explain that a number of Notre Dame faculty connected with the program have prominent programs of research in education, including Professors Borkowski, Day, Hallinan, Power and Pressley. He elaborated that research on this training program's unique char­acteristics is in the planning stages.

Without a research component or col­legiate setting, how will this program further its students' intellectual devel­opment? Pressley pointed out that the courses in this program are informed by a variety of scholarship and that students would be exposed to informa­tion from the social sciences that goes

' well beyond any undergraduate cur­riculum. He also pointed out the sub­stantial research literature document­ing growth in teacher understanding of student development in the curricu­lum as a function of the teaching activ­ity itself. If anything, it would be ex­pected that such growth will be even greater in the context of a content-rich master's program.

What is the spiritual component of the program? Pressley noted that current students in the program have a wide range of theological understanding and spirituality. However, almost all enter with a Catholic education and commit­ment to service. Students will live, during the summers, as a community with a common and noble purpose. Therefore, a deeper sense of religious values and ethics will be derived from the students' own commitment to ser­vice, their living environment, and their course work. Pressley pointed out that an important overarching di­rection of the Alliance for Catholic Education is to develop classroom re­sources for education professionals. With respect to the students in the M.Ed. program, the related goal is to increase greatly their understanding of the wide variety of ways they can in­crease their students spiritual and ethi­cal development. Exception was taken to the idea that a graduate program should include any spiritual directives or requirements, and clarification was requested. We were assured that no such directives were part of the ACE project, but that each individual stu­dent was encouraged to follow his or her own spiritual path.

Are the Summer School or master's program in theology involved with this program? Professor Pressley replied yes to the former and no to the latter.

Can the ACE program be separate from the M.Ed. degree? Pressley indi­cated that any M.Ed. degree separate from ACE would be so different from the present proposal that it would be necessary to return to the Graduate Council for a separate approval of such a program.

If the federal loan forgiveness program is eliminated, will the ACE program remain viable? Pressley replied that the AmeriCorps loan forgiveness com­ponent was a small fraction of the total incentive for participating in the pro­gram. The loan forgiveness for two years is about $9,400 for American citi­zens. In contrast, each student re­ceives more than $20,000 in direct sup­port from the host school. Notre Dame contributes housing during the sum­mer, with board and travel expenses

311·

covered with other funds. Notre Dame will contribute the tuition for each stu­dent, so that the total benefit package for a participating student over two years is approximately $60,000. Should the AmeriCorps funds be lost, with resources on hand, much of the $9,400 in loan forgiveness could be made up for the neediest of students, and there is reason to believe that enough benefaction could be obtained potentially to cover most, if not all, of the loan forgiveness, if that was neces­sary. Because ACE is cited often as a model AmeriCorps program, however, there is no reason to panic in Pressley's view.

The question to approve the M.Ed. pro­gram was called and a vote taken by secret ballot. The program was ap­proved by a vote of 22 yes and three no.

Professor Merz announced that the February Graduate Council meeting will be canceled and adjourned the meeting at 5 p.m.
