Freshman Enrollment the Largest Ever
President Richard Meyers expects 2007-08 to be a banner year for the University, and among the reasons for his optimism is the fact that this fall's enrollment — currently 497 students — is the largest freshman class in Webster University's history.

"How nice to start a new year by breaking a record," Meyers said at his convocation Aug. 16.

In addition to the record-setting enrollment, Meyers is also pleased about a new emergency alert system in place to notify faculty, staff and students by text message if there is an immediate threat to life or property. For more information and to sign up to receive these alerts, go to www.webster.edu/technology/websteralerts.

The expansion of the University's commitment to the environment, the continuing exploration for new and challenging international opportunities and the excitement building around the new campaign are other reasons for Meyers' optimism about the coming year.

Tributes to Past Leaders
Meyers announced there will be a special 40th Anniversary Convocation Sept. 12 to commemorate 1967, the year when Webster College was transferred from the Sisters of Loretto to a private lay board.

New CIE director Deborah Pierce, left, and Guillermo Rodriguez, director of Study Abroad and International Projects.

The former Sister Jacqueline, now Jacqueline Grennan Wexler, the college's president at the time, will be honored and presented with an honorary doctoral degree at the convocation.

"Our celebration will mark the significance of the transfer and spotlight Jacqueline, her persistence, strength and dynamic leadership," Meyers said.

Meyers also paid tribute to another Sister of Loretto, long-time history professor Mary Mangan, who passed away this summer at the age of 94. A special tribute in her honor will take place Sunday, Sept. 30, as part of homecoming weekend.

New Faculty and Staff Introduced
Neil George, vice president and vice president for Academic Affairs, presided over the introductions of faculty and staff who joined the University this year:

• Sarita Cargas, associate dean, College of Arts and Sciences
• Deborah Pierce, director, Center for International Education; and

Anne Schappe learns traditional Thai dancing during her study trip.

This year's Messing award winner, Anne Schappe, associate professor, Nursing, spent the month of June visiting health care facilities in Thailand, Japan and China to learn about family practices and health care in those countries.

Her goal was to bring a more global understanding to nursing department curriculum in courses that focus on family nursing, which, up to this point, have been taught mainly from a Euro-American perspective.

Shappe says the important thing she learned was that poor people — no matter what country they live in — have worse health care than people who have money.

In Thailand, for example, there are two tiers of health care. Those who can afford it buy health insurance and are in the better tier, while ordinary citizens have some government-provided insurance, but it's not as good as insurance they could buy.

Schappe says the Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok, which she visited, is a huge hospital that has been featured on "60 Minutes" and other media outlets. (Bumrungrad — pronounced Bahm-roong-RAHT — is a Thai word meaning "care for the people.")

"People without health insurance from many countries — including the United States — go there to have procedures done, such as heart bypass and hip or knee replacements," Schappe says. "The cost is about a third of what it would be in the U.S., even with air fare. It's top-of-the-line health care and the hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI)." However, not many Thai nationals can afford to go there.

In Japan, health care is provided to everyone by the government and, according to Schappe, the care is generally considered excellent.

China provides government health care to all citizens, however they don't have primary health care providers the way that Americans do. "I was in several hospitals in China on a Sunday morning," Schappe says. "They have what we would describe as walk-in clinics, and they were just packed with people."

The three countries Schappe visited have addressed the issue of burgeoning population in various ways. Bangkok has the Asian Center for Population and Community Development, an agency begun in the 1970s when Thailand realized its population growth rate needed to slow down. Schappe says if it had kept going at the same rate it was, there would be more people than infrastructure to support them.

The center has been successful in helping to lower Thailand's birth rate by educating the general population about birth control and condom use. Today, an average family in Thailand, and also in Japan, has two or three children.

China has a one-child-only government policy, which was established in 1979 to limit population growth. Schappe says it was interesting talking to people about the policy because it has become so much a part of their culture, they take it for granted.

The Wilma and Roswell Missing, Jr. Faculty Award is presented each year to a full-time faculty member who presents the most promising proposal for a summer activity that will strengthen the curriculum of his or her department and the University, or will improve the teaching/learning relationship. The proposals are peer-reviewed by an appointed University committee.

At the Webster Shanghai campus, Schappe talked with two young women who explained they are required to get permission from the government before they have a child. Shappe asked what would happen if they didn't, and they said the family would pay a fine and the child might not qualify for government-provided health care and education if permission was not obtained. The one-child-only law is more strictly enforced in urban areas of China than in the rural areas.

In addition to population, pollution is another area of concern in Asian cities. Schappe says there is a lot of pollution in both Bangkok and Chaing Mai in Thailand, which is further exacerbated by the fact that cigarette smoking is quite common.

In contrast, Schappe found Japan to be a very clean country where pollution is more regulated. Although people do drive cars in Japan, many more use public transportation. "In Japan, I noticed on the street that the trash bins were labeled: burnable, non-burnable and recyclable," she says.

Schappe says her research was very worthwhile. "I learned a lot and have already been able to use the information in my classes."

Don Corrigan signs books after Aug. 30 presentation.

Don Corrigan Discusses New Book About Missouri's Natural Wonders
Don Corrigan, professor, Communications and Journalism, made a brown bag lunch presentation Aug. 30 about his recently published book, Show Me … Natural Wonders. A Guide to Scenic Treasures in the Missouri Region.

Spelunkers, hikers, campers and nature lovers are the natural audience for Corrigan's new work, which is illustrated throughout with original drawings by Edward J. Thias.

The book has been favorably reviewed in a number of area publications, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Having so many former students who are now working reporters gives me a bit of an advantage as far as getting articles about my book in print," Corrigan quipped.

Following the presentation, attendees lined up to have Corrigan sign copies of his book. Additional book signings are scheduled at the Public Library in Washington, Mo., Borders bookstore in Brentwood, the Missouri Botanical Gardens and the Borders bookstore in Fairview Heights, Ill.

Straus Center Has a Moving Experience
Rebecca Dellegrazio, branch coordinator, Strauss Center, Community Music School of Webster University, and Catherine Reynolds, CMS program director, shared these photos of a new Boston piano being lifted by crane to the second floor of the Strauss Center location.

"We sold a few pianos and used the proceeds to buy this Boston piano," says Reynolds, "Getting it into the Strauss Center, our West County location, was another matter. If you've ever been to that facility, you know the corners and narrow hallways are a challenge."

Sue Allhoff, representative, Registrar's Office, and Suzanne Hutcherson, program coordinator/community relations coordinator, Scott Air Force Base, Ill., share the Employee Spotlight honors for the month of August.

Sue Allhoff has worked in Webster's Registrar's office for 12 years. "Sue is always at the other end of the phone line with a solution," says Allhoff's nominator. "She is steady, kind, informative and extremely helpful, even though I know that I must interrupt her in some task each time I call."

Allhoff says the last thing she expected was to win the Employee Spotlight award. "It was a pleasant shock and especially gratifying because it came at the most hectic time of the year."

"Sue's work is consistently excellent and performed with such ease that it is possible to look over it's importance," says her nominator. "She sets the standard for all of us, in terms of follow-through, professionalism and problem-solving." The nominator adds that Allhoff is highly regarded among the faculty chairs for her quick, pleasant and effective responses.

Allhoff chose the day off with pay as her prize.

Suzanne Hutcherson

Suzanne Hutcherson has been program coordinator/community relations coordinator at Scott Air Force Base for seven years.

"Suzanne consistently has all her work done prior to deadlines and is eager to take on any and all extra assignments," says her nominator.

Hutcherson's nominator says she steps in and runs the office when her supervisor is traveling and away from the office up to six weeks at a time. "She takes over like a pro, even handling a graduation ceremony on her own. She is totally reliable and a joy to work with."

"It is an honor — and an incentive — to receive this recognition," says Hutcherson. "The challenge is to continue to find ways of improving existing standards, especially in the area of customer service to our students."

Hutcherson chose a day off with pay as her prize.
