Ms. Shoener, one of four philosophymajors to make the first team, said, “Inever thought I would be selected, but Iwas glad that my interview gave me theopportunity to talk about why I chosephilosophy as a major and how much ofa difference the study of philosophy hasmade in my education.”

Travel/Study Trip Provides Research for Guide about Services for DisabledResearch from an interdisciplinary

travel study trip to Mexico will provideUniversity of Scranton faculty memberswith a rich source of information as theydevelop a guide to accessing rehabilitationservices and advocacy for children withdisabilities in Mexico.

The travel study trip, funded in part bya $23,400 grant from the Edward R.Leahy, Jr. Center at the University, washeld Jan. 14 – 21. Eight faculty members,led by Bernardo Ramirez, M.D. andmember of the Panuska College Board ofVisitors at the University, were joined byUniversity President Rev. Scott R. Pilarz,S.J.; alumnus, benefactor and PanuskaCollege Board of Visitors memberEdward R. Leahy; and James J. Pallante,Ed.D., Dean of the Panuska College ofProfessional Studies.

During the trip, the group met withofficials and interviewed education,health care and rehabilitation specialist,sand parents of children with disabilities.Faculty also completed onsite observa-tions of health care facilities.

In addition to meetings with Un i ve r s i t yofficials at Un i versidad Ib e roAmericana, Fr.Pi l a rz, Mr. Leahy and Dr. Pallante joinedfaculty members for some of the meetingsat the rural and urban re s e a rch sites.

This re s e a rch project is significant ina d d ressing the health education and re h a-bilitation needs of more than three milliondisabled children under the age of 18 inMexico, according to census data compiledby UNICEF and the National Associationof State Di rectors of Special Ed u c a t i o n .The re s e a rch will also provide Un i versity of

Scranton faculty with valuable insights thatwill enrich their teaching.

Moreover, the issues facing this largesegment of Mexico’s population areimportant to American health care pro-fessionals. According to the U.S.Immigration and Naturalization Service(1997), emigration from Mexico to theU.S. represents the largest populationmigration of any single country in theworld. Many of these people are youth.Many of these young people are disabled.

“While much has been done to docu-ment the number of disabled children inMexico, there is a critical lack of knowl-edge available to American health careprofessionals about services available tothese children, and if and how some ofthese service models may be applicable inthe U.S.A.,” said Dr. Pallante.

According to Dr. Pallante, TheUniversity of Scranton research projectwill fill a void in providing Americanhealth care professionals with a greaterunderstanding about the services avail-able to and issues facing children withdisabilities in Mexico, and how the eco-nomics of such services inform the natureand quality of the services.

“Compiling and analyzing this type ofinformation is not simply an academice xe rcise – it is critical to understanding ands e rving the needs of Mexican children withdisabilities – both those who live in Me x i c oand those who emigrate to the U.S.,” said

Deborah Eville Lo, Ph.D., Chair andAssociate Professor of Education, who pre-p a red the grant proposal and part i c i p a t e din the travel/study trip.

Events Celebrate the University’s Ignatian Heritage

The Un i versity of Scranton’s Tru s t e eDay 2004 was held Fe b. 16-17, and as thee vent was part of Ignatian Heritage We e k ,the theme of “The Fu t u re of Jesuit Hi g h e rEd u c a t i o n” was especially appro p r i a t e .

Trustee Day Co-Chairs George V.Lynett, Esq., G’71 and Michele Gilfillan’98 wrote in a message to the Universitycommunity, “We are reminded thattoday, fewer and fewer ordained Jesuitsare found in university communitiesentrusted in the Ignatian tradition. Thismeans that each and every one of us hasthe responsibility to ensure that theintegrity of Jesuit education lives on.”

Thoughts on these words comprised alarge part of the luncheon discussion heldin Eagen Auditorium of the GunsterStudent Center.

Following are excerpts from each of thespeakers at the luncheon.DONNA CARROLL, ED.D., PRESIDENT,DOMINICAN UNIVERSITY, TRUSTEE

“It (Jesuit higher education) is all aboutshared leadership and active stewardship.Increasingly, that responsibility falls to us.The implications are weighty. I see bothchallenges and opportunities ahead. Thechallenges include a lack of history of ourcountry and Jesuit tradition, a lack ofacademic and religious preparationamong our students, and the pace andcomplexity of life which leaves us withlittle time for contemplation. Among theopportunities are an openness and needfor leadership, especially among womenand people of color. It’s a great time to bea Jesuit institution.”REV. TIMOTHY CADIGAN, S.J., ASSISTANT

PROFESSOR, BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

“Seeking of knowledge, acknowledge-ment of the presence of God in theworld, service to others. If these three ele-ments are present, the future is bright.How to do this? One simple way is tostrive to make real our MissionStatement. So, how to strive to make ourMission Statement real?…Each person

must look at the nouns and verbs of theMission statement and ask him or herself:‘How do I make these nouns, these verbsreal in my classroom, my office, hallways,boardroom?’ To make these words real, wemust have a sense of what they mean tome, the individual.”FRANK X. HOMER, PH.D., PROFESSOR,HISTORY DEPARTMENT

“ If I had to single out one concept that Ithink is vital to ensuring the future of Je s u i teducation, it would be that of self-examina-tion. If we look at the Spiritual Exe rcises (ofSt. Ignatius Loyola), the central ingre d i e n tis the process of self-examination. We needto engage in an ongoing process of seriousself-examination. This will not always bec o m f o rtable, but little about St. Ig n a t i u s ,his spirituality and the educational princi-ples that flow directly from it, invo l ve sc o m f o rt. We have indeed become too com-f o rtable, and that may not always meandoing the right thing. We must engage inr i g o rous, unscathing, self-examinationb e f o re we can look at anyone else.”

BRIGID FEIN, PH.D., ASSOCIATE

PROFESSOR, THEOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Dr. Fein shared a personal account of arecent ski trip, and the many parents she metwho were excited by The University ofScranton.“All of the parents mentioned they we rei n t e rested because it’s a Jesuit institution.The future is bright…Jesuit education live scontinually in the tension of being unapolo-getically Catholic in vision, yet open tod i versity and thought. We see things fro mthe perspective of the Incarnation that Go dmade the world good…We must also bewilling to listen to and explore and dialoguewith others and other ways of seeing thew o r l d … We must emphasize transformationas the goal of education. We must work fora more just and compassionate world. Ou rstudents must be transformed into bro a d l yand deeply educated intellectuals, who willbe agents of change in the world.”

Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., UniversityPresident, closed the luncheon with his

remarks. “We mustgreet what is to comewith enthusiasm, notanxiety. Imaginationcan carry the day forus – imagination andcourage, sensitivityand savvy.”UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLY

Father Currie spoke on the challengesfaced by Jesuits both present and future.

“One of the challenges that we share isthat of training leaders who will respondcreatively, imaginatively and responsibly

to the rapid changes in our global society,and give new directions to society in atime of transition.”

Speaking of Sophia University, andJesuit institutions in general, he con-cluded, “In the Ignatian spirit of magis,we’re always trying to do more, trying tobe better. This was certainly the spirit thatFather Arrupe exemplified during all hisyears in Japan and later as General.”

According to Dr. Kolodziej, each tutorwill dress as a literary character on March2 – herself included, although, “I don’tknow who I’m dressing as yet. I’ll have tothink about that one. It’ll be a secret.”

Mellody Swinick ’05 is one of the 48tutors. She plans to read some of Dr.Seuss’s books and possibly make Dr.Seuss-style hats on March 2.

“My favorite book is Green Eggs andHam,” she says. “I even made green eggsonce on St. Patrick’s Day. I am planningto share this special part of my childhoodwith my reading clinic ‘buddy’ and mystudents in my own classroom somedayto motivate their interest in reading.”
