Inside Webster-January 2006

"Is this really happening? Can it really be true? It's almost like a dream," President Richard S. Meyers said at the Jan. 19 ceremony officially recognizing Webster's downtown campus move to the Old Post Office.

"Today we celebrate the vision that became a reality," Meyers said. "Over seven years ago we got involved in the opportunity to play a vital role in the revitalization of downtown St. Louis. It took the hard work of many people, but the Old Post Office and Webster University will be a vital resource for this community for many years to come."

Karen Luebbert, vice president and executive assistant to the president, agreed. "It's a fabulous day that we've been waiting for for over seven years. When you think of the entities that had to come together at the local, state and national level to make this happen, it is a terrific accomplishment," Luebbert said. "Our students deserve this. It's our dream come true and I could not be happier."

The lease Webster signed for the Old Post Office Campus is the longest the University has ever signed anywhere in the world, Meyers said. The new campus has close to 33,000 square feet, 15 large classrooms, three computer labs and a conference room — nearly doubling the space of the former downtown campus.

In addition, the new Center for Professional Development, directed by Larry Mabrey, will offer customized staff training and development programs. Mabrey said the move to the Old Post Office is great because it provides an in-house location for daytime training and seminars. "We are getting ready to launch seminars and other programs right now," Mabrey said.

James Cloar, president, Downtown St. Louis Partnership, presided over the ribbon cutting, assisted by President Meyers; Barbara Geisman, executive director of development for the City of St. Louis, representing Mayor Francis Slay; Ed Glotzbach, chairman of Webster's board of trustees; and Beth Russell, director, Old Post Office campus.

As the program wrapped up, Russell said, "It's elation — the end of a long path of just putting forth a lot of effort. To actually see it all come together and celebrate with a ribbon cutting means so much. We really did it. We're in our new home now and we have these great new facilities for our students, faculty and staff."

A line-up to rival any at Harlem's Cotton Club in its heyday "got down with their bad selves" in Webster Groves Jan. 22, at the Alumni Association's "Cotton Club" Jazz Benefit Concert.

Cookie's Jazz and More, 20 Allen Ave., provided the perfect setting for an impressive line-up of local jazz musicians — including one newcomer — donating their time and talents to raise funds for the African-American Alumni Chapter's (AAAC) minority scholarship fund.

The Players
In addition to Webster Groves native Willie Akins and his nationally renowned saxophone stylings, performers included: Ptah Williams on keyboards; jazz singers Jeanne Trevor, Tomasina Clarke, Ron Wilkenson and Webster alumnus Valerie Tichacek; saxophonists Tim Cunningham on the smooth side; The Bosman Twins on the traditional; the ever-popular Ralph Butler; and Webster University's own jazz clarinet legend, President Richard S. Meyers.

Meyers played two numbers from a program he performs at area retirement centers and nursing homes. The program, which combines Meyers' passion for music and community service, grew out of his volunteer work for WebsterWorksWorldwide. Meyers said he usually performs music from the 1920s-'50s because it's the music his audiences relate to the most.

The Webster Music Faculty Jazz Ensemble, who opened the show and played backup for other performers, include: Michael Parkinson, department chair, on the trombone; Paul DeMarinis, associate professor, on the saxophone; Kevin Gianino, adjunct professor, on drums; Willem von Hombracht, adjunct professor, on bass; Kim Portnoy, associate professor, on keyboards; and Tom Byrne, adjunct faculty, and Steve Schenkel, professor, on guitar.

The Newcomer
Webster music freshman Phillip Graves performed two piano numbers and was backup drummer during the second half of the program. Graves was a crowd favorite, holding his own on stage with more seasoned veteran musicians. In need of funds to complete his education, Graves is one of students who has applied for AAAC scholarship funding.

During his high school career, the multi-talented Graves received 14 superior ratings at the All District/All State Missouri High School Music Festival, was listed in "Who's Who Among American High School Students" four years in a row and received the John Philip Sousa Director's Award — all while maintaining a 3.9 GPA.

Graves is a former student of Dwight Bosman of The Bosman Twins, who performed at the benefit. Bosman was Graves' teacher at the Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. "I'm happy to see him make the transition," Bosman said.

Bosman said he and his brother Dwayne were "happy to be part of an event with the purpose of education for minority students. To see as many artists come out and support this means that, obviously, there are a number of musicians, as well as music lovers, who care."

"Make It Do What It Do"
Jeanne Trevor, who has been singing jazz and blues in St. Louis since the Gaslight Square era of the 1960s, said participating in the event "provided a wonderful opportunity to give some of our young people a chance to get an education, when they might otherwise not be able to."

The petite, energetic Trevor said she loves the camaraderie among jazz musicians and has worked over the years with many of the Webster musicians providing backup. "We have never appeared together as an ensemble before, so as Ray (Charles) said, 'We're going to make it do what it do!'"

Trevor definitely knows how to do it. Her rousing rendition of "Everyday I've Got the Blues," while dancing and jumping around the stage with the energy of someone half her age, was a huge hit with the audience.

In all, 12 artists performed, most of them doing two numbers. During a half-time break in the entertainment, Dennis Owsley, radio host with KWMU 90.7 FM, presented a history of St. Louis jazz during the Cotton Club era of the 1920s-40s.

Jazz being jazz — spontaneous and unpredictable — the evening ran long and had a few surprises. One of those was Mae "Lady Jazz" Wheeler, a long-time fixture in the St. Louis jazz scene, who stopped in to see what was going on and ended up singing two songs.

The evening's last scheduled performer, Ralph Butler, joined her on stage, and the two sang a rendition of "You Give Me Fever" that rocked the house.

Before closing the show with a high-spirited version of "Take Five," Butler told the audience that he had attended Webster for one semester, before dropping out to get married. He said the marriage didn't last, but his devotion to Webster University did, along with his heartfelt support of education for minority students.

Wrapping it Up
"It was fabulous," said Necole Powell, development officer, Alumni and Development, about the event she spearheaded. "A good time was had by all, and not only did 12 of St. Louis's finest jazz legends and musicians from our stellar music department donate their time to this worthy cause, we were also able to create awareness and raise proceeds for the AAAC Minority Scholarship Fund." Powell reports the event has raised $2,500, with donations still coming in.

"The St. Louis jazz community again showed true unity regardless of race in support of the jazz alumni scholarship event," Michael Parkinson said. "So much great music was provided by a number of St. Louis' finest jazz artists. Meeting informally on the band stand, artists who rarely get to perform together made a 'joyful noise' for a most appreciative and sensitive audience."

Whitney Harris was as clear as anyone could be: "This is the greatest crime in the history of mankind, which we must never, never forget."

Harris, a prosecutor in the Nuremberg Trials who interrogated Nazi war criminals, made the statement Jan. 27 when he visited the St. Louis campus to commemorate the inaugural United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Webster University observed the day with a formal presentation of Gerhard Schoenberner's "The Yellow Star: The Persecution of the Jews in Europe, 1933-1945" to various members of the community. The book presents a vivid history of the Holocaust through nearly 300 pages of photographs and text.

"This renowned book is a profoundly moving history of the Holocaust," said Karen Luebbert, vice president and executive assistant to President Richard S. Meyers. "It is a compelling tool to educate future generations."

Copies of the distributed text were dedicated to the memory of the late Harry James Cargas, a Webster University professor and internationally known Holocaust speaker and writer. Cargas authored more than 2,000 scholarly articles and 32 books.

"The Holocaust and Webster University were his life's passion," said Martin Cargas, Harry James' son. "I know he would be grateful … and is grateful that Webster is continuing this important work so my children and my children's children will never, never forget."

Recipients of "The Yellow Star" were the Cargas family, Harris, Emerson Library, Webster Groves Public Library, Webster Groves School District, the World Affairs Council of St. Louis, the United Nations Association of Greater St. Louis and the St. Louis Holocaust Museum and Learning Center.

Enter the life of the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh as he struggles to unite his people against the invasion of white settlers, or

… see the world through the eyes of a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome who attempts to solve the "murder" of a neighborhood dog, or

… travel through time with a Chicago librarian who disappears without warning into the past or the future.

These plot lines — from Panther in the Sky by James Alexander Thom, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon and The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenger — provided some of the fodder for discussions at Webster Book Club meetings this past year.

Open to Webster faculty, staff and students, the book club was formed in February 2004 at the suggestion of then WSA chair, Dorothy Nootbaar, representative, International Recruitment and Services. Current WSA chair Nancy Higgins, special events coordinator, Executive Office, and Holly Hubenschmidt, reference librarian, Emerson Library, joined forces to start the club.

Recently, the group's membership was opened to include Webster Groves residents, allowing Tom Cooper, director of the Webster Groves Public Library, and Wynn Miller, Webster resident and member of the Webster University Neighborhood Advisory Council, to join the group's Jan. 9 meeting.

At the meeting, Pat McLeese, director, Academic Resource Center, led the discussion of Mark Hadden's book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which concerns a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome who solves the mystery of a neighborhood dog's death and, in the process, solves the mystery of his fractured family.

2004-06 Book List
The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini
Panther in the Sky, James Alexander Thom
Betsy Brown, Ntozake Shange
My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult
The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenger
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon

"This book provides an outstanding description of Asperger's syndrome from the point of view of the person who has it," McLeese said. She described Asperger's as a newly identified disorder, closely related to autism, except that individuals with Asperger's are able to interact socially with greater ease than those who are autistic.

The literary device was a hit with most of the club's members, who said they enjoyed reading the book and would definitely recommend it to others. Miller, a former school principal, said, "Anyone who works with children would benefit from reading it."

The Webster Book Club meets every other month, from noon to 1 p.m., in the Emerson Library conference room. Books are chosen by consensus of the group. At the next meeting on March 9, the discussion will center on Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire, the book on which the Broadway play was based. Laura Rein, dean, Emerson Library, will lead the discussion.

If you're interested in joining the book club or want more information, contact Nancy Higgins, at higgins@webster.edu or (314) 968-6959.

Kit Jenkins, director, Thailand Campus, accepted a medallion of recognition from Princess Somsawasalee in December for the work Thailand Campus students did to fight AIDS. The presentation took place on World AIDS Day at a ceremony organized by the Bangkok Red Cross to recognize major donors. As part of WebsterWorksWorldwide, Webster Thailand students organized a rock concert in Hua Him to raise funds and bring awareness to the growing issue of AIDS among young people. They raised 34,000 baht (approximately $850) through the sale of T-shirts and games.

Keitchai Manaboriboon, a student at Webster Thailand, won second place in the Capstone® and Foundation® Challenge, an online competition in which students manage $100 virtual million companies using the business skills learned in their college courses. The competition attracted 333 student teams from around the world and Webster Thailand students placed first and second, but since the foundation only allows one student per university to move forward to the final rounds, only Manaboriboon, who placed first, was able to proceed. In the final round, she placed second worldwide. Richard Berry, adjunct professor, was Manaboriboon's instructor.

There's never enough time in the workday, is there? And one of the ways many of us try to save a little time is by eating snacks — and even our lunches — at our desks. This desktop dining habit can be a potential health disaster, unless you make sure you choose healthy workplace snacks made up of foods you should fit into your daily diet anyway, such as fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains and yogurt.

Most workplace vending machines or snack shops offer mostly high-sugar, high-fat snacks with little nutritional value. Typical offerings include potato chips, with 303 calories and 19.6 fat grams in a 2-ounce bag; or chocolate chip cookies, with 277 calories and 16 fat grams in a 2-ounce package.

Your best snacking strategy is to plan ahead. Keep some healthy options in your desk or office for those days when you don't have time to get lunch, or when you need a little nutritional boost during the day. You can also bring fresh snack food with you every day from home, providing your workplace has a refrigerator.

Good snacks to keep handy include:
• Trail mix or dried fruits and nuts
• Breakfast cereal — choose high-fiber, low-sugar
• High-fiber, low-fat, and low-sodium soup — don't forget the can opener
• Instant oatmeal packets — look for less-sugar options
• Tuna salad kit — includes a small packet of water-packed tuna, a relish packet and crackers
• High-fiber, low-fat crackers
• Natural-style peanut butter with crackers, bagels or fruit
• Low-calorie hot chocolate

Simple perishable snacks include:
• Low-fat yogurt with fruit
• Low-fat cottage cheese with fruit
• Reduced-fat cheese with low-fat, high-fiber crackers
• A small portion of leftovers

Good beverage choices include:
• Mineral water — with lime or orange if you like
• Herb or regular tea — cold or hot
• Coffee — caffeine-free is best
• Diet soda — caffeine-free is best
• Nonfat or low-fat milk
• Drinks using nonfat or low-fat milk such as light hot chocolate or latte
• Fruit juice or drinks made with juice and sparkling water

JANUARY 2006 SPOTLIGHT AWARD

Muhamed (Muha) Hadziselimovic, extended site technical coordinator, User Services, and Vicky Warren, representative, Bolling Air Force Base, share the Employee Spotlight Award honors for January.

Muhamed Hadziselimovic, who has been with Webster for three years, says he was honored, but also surprised, when he learned he won the Employee Spotlight Award. "It was kind of strange because we really work as a team where it's acceptable to say, 'Hey I don't know how to do that,' and draw on one another's knowledge."

Providing support to extended campuses worldwide through User Services, Hadziselimovic says he enjoys working in the field and with different people everyday — whether in Los Angeles, Washington or at the main campus.

According to one nominator: "He is a great asset to the Webster extended community." The nominator explains that, on one occasion, Hadziselimovic used a Web cam to help repair a laptop, saving time, money and the inconvenience of having the laptop shipped for repairs.

Recently, Hadziselimovic went to the Los Angeles campus to assist with moving technical equipment. "Muha worked late, came early and, in short, did everything humanly possible to ensure the computers, T-line, phones, faxes and all electronics were operational to military specifications," says another nominator "He has a great attitude."

Hadziselimovic graduated from Webster University with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and began working for the University the following Monday. "It is a privilege to be able to work in the same place I received my education," he says. "They [Webster] really take care of their people."

Hadziselimovic is currently working towards a master's degree in Computer Resource Information Management and anticipates graduating in December 2006.

He chose a day off with pay as his prize.

"Oh Goodie, a day off with pay!" Vicky Warren joked when she heard during a staff meeting that she had been chosen for the Employee Spotlight Award. Warren says she is fortunate to be able to work for the University and that the award came at a good time. "It's nice to be recognized for doing something I truly enjoy. I'm very lucky to have found such a great career."

Warren has been with Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., for six years and — according to her nominator — wears many hats due to her affiliations with Fort Belvoir, Andews Air Force Base and the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. "I do a little bit of everything," says Warren. "Registration, cash handling, graduation, office supplies, third-party billing — you name it and I've probably done it — and I like it that way."

Warren's nominator says she maintains a great attitude and gets glowing ratings from students on campus. "Vicky has incredible Webster spirit and enjoys interacting with her co-workers on the main campus and thinks of them as family."

What she really enjoys most, says Warren, is getting to interact with the students, instructors and their families. Her fondest memory is from a training session she attended at the main campus a few years ago. "I was able to meet every employee that I communicate with via the phone or Internet," she says. "There is nothing like being able to put a face with a name."

Warren chose a day off with pay as her prize.

Employees everywhere are eligible for the monthly Employee Spotlight Award.
