President Neil George enjoyed presiding over Webster University's 89th Commencement Ceremony May 10 at the Edward Jones Dome in downtown St. Louis — his first as president.

Bob Kerrey, president of The New School and former U.S. senator from Nebraska, delivered the commencement address. Chosen for his dedication to bettering society, his activism for the nation, and his commitment to education and outreach to the world's citizens, Kerrey was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Ambassador George Herbert Walker, chair, Board of Trustees, presented the degree.

Facts about the Class of 2008: • 6,679 new graduates worldwide • 1,180 attended the ceremony in St. Louis, including 201 from extended campuses • They came from 105 countries, all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia • The oldest graduate, age 73, earned an MA in Business • The youngest graduate, age 19, majored in Finance • 39 Webster staff members were part of the class of 2008, as well as 33 children and spouses of Webster staffers • More than 10,000 people witnessed the 2008 Commencement ceremonies

Also honored at the ceremony was 1969 alumna Jane Roberts, who was presented with the 2008 Distinguished Alumni Award from Julie Reese, president of the Alumni Association. Roberts was honored for her life's work in international cross-cultural education.

Kerrey reminded the Class of 2008 to be proud of their Alma Mater. "Webster University wonderfully combines teaching the values of being a good citizen for one's country with the awareness of being a good citizen of the world," he said. "Indeed, in today's world, one reinforces the other."

"Welcome to our annual year-end party," Neil George said, opening the faculty and staff recognition breakfast May 13. "Today is your day to relax and reflect on the year we have completed — and what a year it was."

Quoting Vince Lombardi, George said, "'Individual commitment to a group effort — that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.' And may I add, a University work."

"The one common thread that connects us all is dedication to our students and that is manifested in the high praise we received from the Higher Learning Commission," George continued. "The report was glowing and resulted in a recommendation for the maximum ten-year re-accreditation cycle."

Turning to the business of the day, George began the proceedings by welcoming Webster's newest staff member, Alana Hammonds, service clerk, Registrar's Office. Hammonds had been on the job one day. He then lead the applause for Anna Barbara Sakurai, the employee who has been with Webster longer than any other — 44 years.

George acknowledged two employees retiring this year: Gloria Barbre, benefits coordinator, Human Resources, and Betty Pickerell, payroll manager, Finance. He also recognized the 26 retirees in attendance.

The following awards were presented:

2008-09 William T. Kemper Excellence in Teaching Awards to:
• Anne McIlhaney, associate professor, College of Arts & Sciences
• Joe Schuster, professor and chair, School of Communications
• Damon Roberts, adjunct professor, School of Education
• Eddie Schwertz, adjunct professor, School of Business & Technology

2008-09 Wilma and Roswell Messing Jr. Faculty Award:
• Dunsi Dai, associate professor, Leigh Gerdine College of Fine Arts

Staff Member of the Year:
• Pete Nicholson, maintenance technician, Facilities Operations

President George presents the Employee of the Year Award to Pete Nicholson.

"Pete has been a dedicated member of the Webster family for 30 years, and during that time has probably fixed every lock on every door in Webster Hall," George said. "He is generous with his time and devoted to Webster University and the mission to support the students."

George then recognized colleagues who served in constituency leadership positions this year:

• Elizabeth Eisele, president of the Student Government Association
• Bill Lynch, professor, Theatre & Dance — chair of the Faculty Senate
• Caprice Moore, coordinator of operations, School of Business & Technology — chair of Webster Staff Alliance

In lieu of citations traditionally presented to individuals and groups who have distinguished themselves throughout the year, George said, "This year — because our successes came from the efforts of large groups of faculty and staff who pulled together to complete various projects, I recognize all of you for your support of the many group projects this year." Some of these projects include:

• A successful visit of the Higher Learning Commission by participating in interviews and open forums and contributing to the self-study in preparation for the evaluation.

You could say Satish Kumar, this year's Des Lee Visiting Professor in Global Awareness, was ahead of his time — or at least ahead of the current obsession with "green" — as he has spent a lifetime promoting ecology and a more sustainable earth.

Satish Kumar. Photo by Claudia Burris.

The peace activist, environmentalist, author and former Jain monk has been editor of the London-based environmental magazine Resurgence for 35 years and also is director of programs at Schumacher College in Devon, England, a unique institution he helped found in 1991. The college offers courses on a variety of environmental topics as well as a master's degree in holistic science.

Kumar returned to England at the end of the spring term, but the teachings he shared with students, faculty and staff at the St. Louis campus through his lectures, classes and the global ecology conference he facilitated remain with us.

Here are a few of Kumar's insights:

St. Louis philanthropist E. Desmond Lee established the lectureship bearing his name in Fall 2000 to foster international understanding. Experts in the fields of ethnicity, international economics, international relations and global diversity are invited for one semester to collaborate not only with Webster University, but also with local cultural organizations, on projects promoting global awareness. Satish Kumar is the sixth visiting scholar to participate in the lectureship.

"Waste is the biggest problem in the world today. We've poisoned the earth with chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and the way we use landfills. It's as if the earth is a kind of sink for our garbage."

"Changing the worldview is the first step toward changing behavior. If you are working in the paradigm of unlimited economic growth without spiritual values, changing your behavior isn't going to take you very far."

"The world needs to be redesigned to be sustainable for all living beings, so everyone can live a good life. Everyone's basic needs — food, shelter and health care should be met."

Kumar's autobiography, No Destination, and his books: You Are, Therefore I Am — A Declaration of Dependence and The Buddha and the Terrorist are available at the campus bookstore.

For more information about Satish Kumar, see the upcoming issue of Global Thinking, Vol. 4, Issue 4.

2nd place winner Allison Knotts, on left, with nominator Laurel Hayes, adjunct professor, Center for Interdisciplinary Studies.

The 2007-08 Freshman Writing Awards were presented at a luncheon, April 4, sponsored by the Academic Resource Center (ARC) and the Writing Center. Barbara Stewart, ARC director, acknowledged the support of Webster's school and college deans and Student Services dean, Ted Hoef, who provided the lunch.

The awards were established four years ago to underscore the value Webster places on strong writing. The winners are required to appeal to an audience beyond their teachers and show a purpose with value beyond the assignment.

2nd place winner Katie Farrar and nominator Larry Baden, assistant professor, Communications & Journalism.

Presiding over the award presentation was Karen Luebbert, vice president and executive assistant to the president, who said she was "excited that the University is demonstrating the value of writing and writing skills."

The first prize of $250 went to Lauren Beck, for her essay, "Technology and Society." Beck was nominated for the award by Adrian Rozelle-Stone, adjunct professor, Philosophy, who accepted the award in her absence.

Allison Knotts and Katie Farrar tied for the $150 second prize — Knotts for her essay, "Dakota, A Reflection," and Farrar for her paper, "Stereotypes of Child Molestation and Homosexuality."

Left to right, Karen Luebbert, Peggy Lewis, Lauren Berkholtz and nominator Paulette Schmidt, adjunct professor, English.

The $250 Creative Writing Award, underwritten by an anonymous donor, is a special award to recognize fine writing that doesn't necessarily fall into the category of an essay. The winner this year was Lauren Berkholtz for her prize-winning poetry portfolio "Words and Water."

Berkholtz learned recently that two of her poems had been accepted by Metrolink Arts in Transit, who displays art pieces with short poems in trains and busses across the metropolitan St. Louis area. At age 19, she competed with 12 adult writers and published poets and was the only one to have two poems accepted.

Myrtle Beach staff join police department representatives and Joe McGarry's family members at the memorial service in his honor. Alice McGarry is seated in the center of the front row.

The Myrtle Beach Metropolitan Campus recently established a scholarship in memory of Joe McGarry, Webster graduate student and policeman, who died in the line of duty in 2002.

The campus joined the Myrtle Beach police department to co-sponsor a fund-raising luncheon event on April 9 coordinated by a fellow officer, Brenda Christy, who is a 2006 Webster alumna. The event raised $7,500, a portion of which will go to the scholarship fund.

In addition to the funds raised at the luncheon event, McGarry's mother, Alice, presented a $5,000 check toward the scholarship fund to Tommy Burbage, community relations coordinator, Myrtle Beach Metropolitan Campus, at a memorial service in McGarry's honor on May 2.

MARCH 2008 SPOTLIGHT AWARD

Karen Shinault

Karen Shinault, accounting assistant, Business Office, and Pam Aleshunas, department associate, Westport Campus, share the Employee Spotlight honors for the month of March.

Karen Shinault's nominator says Karen's position with the University "doesn't always make her the most popular person, because it's her job to put holds on student accounts and cancel their classes when their billing isn't up to date."

The nominator adds that it's a difficult job to collect money and also provide excellent customer service, but that's what Shinault is able to do. She has earned a reputation for being fair.

Shinault is appreciated for her pleasant manner with students and staff and for making every effort to personally help each and every caller. She received high praise for her customer service in a recent evaluation survey her department sent to all campuses.

"Webster has given me opportunities to learn and grow, says Shinault, who has been with the University for seven years. "The greatest part of my job is the freedom I've been given to do my job to the best of my ability and the opportunity to go above and beyond my ability."

Shinault has enjoyed interacting with her co-workers, both professionally and personally.

"It's been the greatest experience I will remember," she says. "They are a great team of people and it's nice to know they appreciate my work."

Shinault chose a day off with pay as her prize.

Pam Aleshunas

Pam Aleshunas has been with Webster for three years. For the first six months she was an evening service clerk at the WingHaven Campus, and then she moved to her current position with the Westport Campus.

Her nominator praises Aleshunas for her exceptional abilities in assisting students, faculty and staff and for the time saving systems she has implemented at the Westport Campus. "She receives compliments from students and faculty and always goes the extra mile to accommodate them."

Aleshunas especially enjoys the student service aspect of her job. "I've been with Webster long enough to have the pleasure of seeing individuals I assisted as new students move on to graduate," she says.

After taking time to raise her children, Aleshunas returned to the work force nine years ago. "The three years I've worked for Webster have been the best work experience I've had during that time," she says. "I'm surprised and honored to receive this award for just doing my job."

Aleshunas chose a day of with pay as her prize.

APRIL 2008 SPOTLIGHT AWARD

Buck West

Buck West, coordinator, Mail and Copy Solutions, and Susan Leach, representative, San Diego Metropolitan Campus, Calif., share the April Employee Spotlight honors.

Buck West began working in Mail and Copy Solutions as a student employee five years ago. Less than a year later, the department hired him as a general clerk, and in December 2007, he moved into his current position as coordinator.

His nominator says Buck loves what he does, is great at customer service and does a first-rate job as department leader.

West assisted in bringing a number of new services to the Mail and Copy department, including: addressing equipment to help facilitate large mailings; folder and inserter equipment to speed up processes and minimize work; and a new up-to-date color printer to produce high quality color documents.

"What I really enjoy about my position is working with the Mail and Copy Solutions staff and helping others," West says. "The people at Webster are so wonderful to work with."

Receiving the Employee Spotlight Award means a great deal to West. "It's a great feeling to be recognized any time, but this was extraordinary for me."

West chose a day off with pay as his prize.

Susan Leach

Susan Leach's nominator says she functions at a very high level in her role as financial aid counselor and "at the same time extends herself in whatever direction is necessary for the smooth and efficient functioning of the campus."

Students at the San Diego campus value Leach's dependability and helpfulness. "Whenever I have a problem she always resolves the issue," says a student who was recently dropped from a class due to a tuition issue. Leach put the student in contact with the right person to help get reinstated.

"I am so grateful," the student says. "Susan has made my experience with Webster worthwhile, and I can recommend Webster University's San Diego campus to anyone because of Susan Leach."

Leach has been campus representative and financial aid counselor at the San Diego campus for three years. She appreciates the support she receives from co-workers in the home business and financial aid office. "They are the best," she says.

Getting to know the students is the thing she most enjoys about her job. "I especially enjoy our graduation ceremony," Leach says. "It's so satisfying to see the students dressed in their regalia and celebrating with families and friends."

Leach chose a day off with pay as her prize.
