Students take leadership

in building a
responsible community
Covenant is ‘the newest DePauw tradition’

D
ePauw students announced their work on a new covenant and a Greek
Relationship Statement during a convocation on May 4. “With your help
and input throughout the past year, we have developed a statement of
community principles that all of us can embrace,” Paul M. Booth ’04 told
students in Kresge Auditorium. “In essence, the covenant is the epitome
of who we are; it is an acknowledgement of the past, present and future accomplishments of
those who embody the DePauw community.”
Booth called the covenant “the newest DePauw tradition.”
A covenant, a statement of principles about what kind of com-
munity DePauw should be, was one of the goals that President
Robert G. Bottoms announced with the formation of the Coalition
for a Responsible Community and its task forces at a convocation on
March 4, 2003. The effort has come a long way in the past year.
“What was once an administrative vision has now been trans-
formed into an initiative led by students,” Booth said. Another
member of the Covenant Task Force, Zachary W. Adams ’06,
explained that input was secured from students in all living units,
including all Greek chapters and residence halls. Paul M. Booth ’04

The covenant will be posted in public places on campus, including residence halls, and it
will be incorporated into student services programming for first-year student, residence life
and other programs.
A member of the Greek Relations Task Force, Megan E. Casey ’04 announced the develop-
ment of a Greek Relationship Statement, a “two-part document that establishes expectations
for not only the Greek chapters but the University as well.” The statement covers: academics,
citizenship and community involvement, member development, housing, national organization
relationships and alumni/adviser support.
The Leadership Task Force identified additional needs for leadership training on campus.
“We excel in leadership on this campus and have many great programs available for students
to learn about leadership,” Patricia J. Cooksey ’04, a task force member, said. “But we found
two areas where we felt there was a need for more extensive and effective training – the first
being for sophomore students, and the second for our core leaders on this campus who have
a leadership position.”

Retiring head football

coach Nick Mourouzis
urges students to be
persistent in their
biggest game, “the
game of life.”

Coach
Nick Mourouzis
gives address
2004 graduates should face their

N
future with ‘Tiger Pride’
ick Mourouzis, DePauw’s winningest football coach over 23 seasons, spoke to 522 graduates with “Tiger Pride”
at the University’s 165th commencement in the Lilly Center (indoors due to rain) on May 23. Mourouzis,
who posted a 138-87-4 record prior to his retirement at the end of the 2003 season as head football coach and
professor of kinesiology, was selected by graduating seniors to give the commencement address.
“Tiger Pride is a personal commitment to excellence in anything you do,” Mourouzis said. He urged
the graduates to have “Tiger Pride in whatever you choose to do with your life. Because, when you leave
here today, you’ll be getting yourself ready to play the biggest game of all: the game of life.”
In quintessential fashion, Mourouzis advised the graduates, “Your future is going to be a combination
of successes and setbacks … be persistent. ‘DePauw never quits’ is the motto of our athletic department.
Despite the best conditioning, long hours and positive work ethic of DePauw athletes, our teams do lose
contests. But the athletes persist. Success does come again. That’s Tiger Pride.”
The 2004 recipient of the Walker Cup, which is awarded to the senior judged to have contributed the most
to the University during his or her four years at DePauw, also spoke and issued a challenge to fellow graduates.
“Big or small, we can all make a difference. We have all learned this while at DePauw, and all left our mark
on this University in some way,” Patricia J. Cooksey said. “And I hope you each remember this and continue
to give back, including truly remembering what you have received from DePauw. Give back to ensure future
generations can have a similar experience and continue the great traditions we have here.”

Montgomery and
Chabraja Halls
join Rector Village
Montgomery and Chabraja are the names that will be carried by the last two of the seven
residence halls in the new Rector Village.
“The name of Rector Hall is one I’ll never forget,” said Darlene Montgomery Ryan ’76, who
lived in Mason Hall next door to Rector Hall as a freshman and worked in the cafeteria on the
lower level of Rector. On April 7, 2002, Rector Hall was damaged beyond repair in a fire.
“I know the impression that the name of any building on campus leaves on the students
who live and study there. Thirty years later, that building lives on in my memory, even though
the building itself is gone. I want people to remember the name Montgomery and to think of it
fondly when they remember their days at DePauw,” Ryan said. “I love the private rooms with
the shared living and kitchen areas, like apartments, but right in the middle of campus.”
Ryan, who was a mathematics and German major at DePauw, chose to name Montgom-
ery Hall with her maiden name rather than her married name because she wanted to honor
her father, Ken Montgomery, and her brother, Bruce Montgomery, who along with
Darlene co-founded PharmaFab in 1994. Darlene now serves as president
and CEO of the company, a contract pharma-
ceuticals formulator and
manufacturer.

family, including all three of his children who attended DePauw, have made a naming gift for the
seventh and last residence hall in the new concept for student living at DePauw.
“While serving on the board of trustees, I was a member and chair of the Student Affairs Committee. One of the
priorities of that committee was the living arrangements for students, and I walked through many of the residential
units,” Chabraja said. “The concept of replacing a large dormitory with a cluster of smaller, attractive buildings is a
good one for students. It’s a more modern concept.”
All three of Nick and Eleanor Chabraja’s children chose to attend DePauw, and all three lived in the East Quad,
which included Rector Hall. And all three married DePauw graduates. They are: Michael A. and Lindsey (Hart ’97)

DePauw Women’s Center
opens on campus
Based on a major recommendation of the Task Force on the Status of
Women, the University opened an on-campus Women’s Center in August.
DePauw’s Women’s Center is centrally located at 306 Hanna Street.
“This is an important step toward creating more understanding of
and dialogue about women’s issues and the barriers to true equality
that remain on this campus and the world at large,” President Robert
G. Bottoms said. “As DePauw has become a national role model in
improving its campus climate in recent years, I view the creation of
the Women’s Center as another initiative that will serve to improve
the University and the communities in which our graduates ultimately
live, work and lead.”

All students will be required
to have laptop computers
An idea launched by students and faculty members at DePauw
– to ensure that all students are equipped with laptop computers – is
becoming a reality. The University announced plans to arrange with
selected vendors (Apple and Dell) to provide the laptops, which can be
bundled with software and on-campus technical support, to students
at a discounted price. Students were encouraged to purchase their
own laptops from the suggested vendor for use on campus this fall.
By the first semester of 2005, purchase of the designated laptop will
be required.
The 2002 and 2001 student computing surveys indicated that more
than 90 percent of DePauw students were already buying computers
for use on campus, and that roughly half bought laptops.

Editor:
I apologize for the unprofessional nature of this letter, but resources are somewhat scarce
here. I wanted to write you and thank you and the others for the material you forwarded to me.
It is amazing to see the changes, all positive, that the University has made. I was impressed by
the continued standard of excellence, which is maintained and built upon both physically and
academically throughout the University. It is truly inspiring. My only regret is that my fellow
officers cannot see the pride I wear being a DePauw graduate. All they see is U.S. Army. Yet
another reason to be proud.

Editor:
The recent announcement in the DePauw Magazine noting the death of John Eigenbrodt,
professor of the philosophy and religion department, brought me great sadness, but also sparked
wonderful memories. I was one of Eigenbrodt’s advisees in the philosophy and religion de-
partment, and his influence stays with me these many years later. I took the well-challenging
Exegesis class. Eigenbrodt’s classes were always difficult, engaging and ultimately intellectually
stimulating. Along with other students, I was invited into his home and also had the chance to
observe his great musical talents. He was a witty, caring professor who exemplified the benefits
of a liberal arts education. I am honored to have been his student.

 Sustaining the

faculty

“Faculty

Say the words “faculty development,” and most people outside of academe find it difficult
to visualize what it means or why it is vitally important to teaching and learning.
“At a liberal arts university, faculty members model the curiosity and lifelong learning that
curiosity the institution seeks to promote in its students. If we do not have opportunities to refresh
and ourselves through support for research, course development, faculty dialogues and collaborative
lifelong endeavors, we are ill-suited to sustain such energy and insight among our students,” explained
learning Tamara Beauboeuf, an assistant professor of sociology and education who joined the DePauw
faculty in 2001 primarily because of the level of support for continuing professional develop-
that the

ment she saw at the University.
institution eauboeuf also has a uniquely DePauw way of describing programs for faculty
seeks to members. “The faculty development programs at DePauw are the faculty
promote equivalent of the study-abroad, Winter Term, internship and independent-
in its study opportunities that the University sees as critical to the intellectual and
social growth of students. Having participated in both service and study Winter
students”
Term trips and supervised internships, I have seen how energized about their studies students
become when they ask and answer questions through these activities,” she said.
Faculty members’ innovation and engagement with students is crucial to providing the
high level of teaching and learning that has benefited generations of DePauw students and
served them as alumni. Although DePauw has had faculty development programs through the
years, they are even more important now because the University has significantly expanded the
number of faculty members to the largest in its history – from 167 full-time faculty members
in 1998 to 222 in 2004.
“Our faculty development programs are specially designed to provide growth and devel-
opment opportunities for faculty members at all stages of their careers,” Neal B. Abraham,
executive vice president, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, said. “These
programs support improvements in teaching and expansion of knowledge and expertise. Each
faculty member has different needs at different times; our programs are designed to meet that
wide range of needs.”

13
 Organized development opportunities encourage faculty members to plan renewal time as
part of their rigorous schedules. Faculty members commonly work 60 hours or more per week
preparing for and teaching their courses, working with students outside of class, grading assign-
ments, advising students, serving on faculty committees, participating in various University

ome faculty members receive support to develop new courses or to revise
current ones. Others participate in workshops and meet to share teaching
techniques, such as the use of instructional technology for presentation and
online discussions. Some faculty members explore and master new topics
that they bring into their classes, and others collaborate with students on
research projects. Many faculty members continue to make original and creative contributions
to their fields.
Teresita J. Hernandez, associate professor of modern languages (French), noted the value
of the programs. “We are told to think outside the box and try new things – to develop new
skills and new methodologies, attend conferences and develop new courses. Many different
funds are available for many different types of projects so that we can engage in a variety of
activities,” she said.
Faculty development programs include recognition for sustained excellence in teaching,
service and scholarship, as well as support for new projects. DePauw supports 12 new, three-
year projects each year: faculty fellowships through which faculty members can work steadily
on either curriculum development or scholarly and creative projects with University support “The existence of vibrant

The existence of vibrant faculty development programs was key to my decision to join the
DePauw faculty. At my previous institution, we were expected to rest on the laurels of our doctor-
ate, because the assumption was that knowledge was static.
DePauw’s faculty development programs impressed me because I saw faculty members at
various points in their careers using its support to keep current in their fields, to contribute to
the knowledge in their areas of interest, to branch out into new areas of inquiry, and to revitalize
their teaching. From my experience at liberal arts institutions – both as an undergraduate and
as a faculty member – I know that professors who understand their fields, who are involved in
the process of knowledge construction, are better able to interest students in these areas. Such
faculty members provide students with behind-the-scenes insights into the work that members of
our fields do.
Furthermore, because student-led inquiry and discussion are hallmarks of classes at DePauw,
it strikes me that strong faculty development programs – which allow faculty members to develop
and maintain a thorough yet flexible grasp of their fields of interest – are a critical precondition
for such classroom dynamics. As faculty members, the better we understand our fields and their
intricacies, the more we can allow our students to enter these disciplines from their own questions
and not simply our own.

My area of research expertise is modern Islam in the Middle East, particularly Egypt. My
teaching responsibilities, however, are much broader. To give students an accurate picture
of the diversity and complexity of Muslim societies, I need to expand my experience beyond
that of the Arab world. Faculty development awards have assisted me in this.

My first leave came after seven years of teaching at DePauw (and nine years after my

life. I wasn’t completely burned out, but I was a lot closer than I realized. It would have been

their work, prepare applications for internal or external funding, or seek mentoring in their

faculty development awards to the Faculty Development Committee, which consists of six
faculty members, the faculty development coordinator and vice president for academic affairs.
Faculty fellowships, one-year project awards and summer grants for course development, schol-

of proposals. After completing each project, a faculty member must file a satisfactory report of
progress and accomplishments before being eligible to apply for additional support.
“All of the competitive awards are reviewed by our faculty colleagues on campus, which
means that the projects fit within the liberal arts curriculum. And more faculty members than
ever before are applying, which also increases the competitiveness for the awards,” explained
Terri Bonebright, associate professor of psychology, who is serving a three-year term as faculty
development coordinator. “And it is important to note that these awards support scholarly and

I had a pre-tenure leave and a Professional Development Fund award, which combined to permit me to
return to my thesis lab at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and work with Nicholas Cohen on some
loose ends from my thesis. Specifically, we were able to replicate and extend earlier work indicating that removal
of the sympathetic nervous system (the part of the nervous system responsible for the fight-or-flight response)
resulted in an enhanced response of some immune cells to stimuli, indicating a potential enhancement of the
immune response.
The wonderful part is that there was one additional experiment that we never got to do: looking at antibody
production in the frogs following sympathetic nervous system removal. Coming back from the leave, I was due
to teach Immunology, which has a laboratory. Immunology lab has been challenging. I had been hoping to find
some new approaches. I decided to try the frog antibody experiment as a class project.
It would be wonderful to say that we saw an effect in the experiment, but in fact, the response was similar
to previous times – indicative, but not actually significant. The students were excited, however, at the prospect “I had been
of generating new information, and they did quite well in writing up the information in their lab reports.
But the really happy ending came spring semester. Two of the Immunology students wanted to continue

envied and studied as others try to emulate certain parts of it,” Abraham said. “DePauw arranges
to have five or six of its academic departments and programs formally reviewed each year by
committees of external experts. Without fail, they identify our faculty development programs
and opportunities as exceptional, congratulating DePauw and urging faculty members to take

T
note and take part.”
ypical of the external assessment reports is the following observation: “Although our
goal was not to evaluate individual faculty performance, the course assignments,
classroom exercises, small group discussions, use of classroom technology, and the
frequency of student presentations confirm that the faculty are talented, genuinely
dedicated and effective in their teaching roles. Much of their success may be the
result of the scholarship opportunities that many of them have received in terms of internal
course development, summer stipends, faculty research and professional development grants,
and Mellon grants for integrating technology into the classroom. Clearly, these resources have
enhanced the effectiveness of their teaching in the past … .” That is a significant reason why
other institutions contact the University seeking to model their faculty development programs
on DePauw’s.

17
 Outstanding faculty development programs revitalize current faculty members, but Abraham noted that the Uni-
versity’s reputation in faculty development also plays a major role in attracting the best faculty members to DePauw.
For example, take the experience of Matthew J. Hertenstein, who joined the DePauw faculty in 2002 as an as-
sistant professor of psychology and is scheduled for a pre-tenure leave in 2005-06. Hertenstein, who received a Ph.D.
in developmental psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, was discussing his pre-tenure leave plans
with his former faculty adviser at Berkeley. “I was speaking to him specifically about my pre-tenure leave, but knowing
about the other faculty development programs here, he told me, ‘I continue to be amazed at the support that DePauw

offers to its faculty members,’” Hertenstein said.
s good as the faculty development programs are, they must be better. “In recent years, we have had
more good projects than we had funds to support them,” Abraham said. “It’s always a challenge to find
sufficient resources for such things as summer student-faculty collaborative research projects, faculty
fellowships, summer scholarly and creative projects, postdoctoral fellowships for prospective faculty
members, travel to professional meetings, as well as our awards for sustained faculty excellence.”
The new courses, innovative approaches to teaching and learning, broader cultural insights and global experience
that result from faculty development programs all energize academic work in and out of the classroom and ultimately
benefit students. That’s the real bottom line for DePauw faculty members.

ences; have collaborated with colleagues from DePauw and other universities
on various projects; and have kept myself current in my field by taking advantage
of the wonderful opportunities available through DePauw’s faculty development
programs, including my Faculty Fellowship. I have worked on different kinds of
publications, from literary criticism to pedagogical instruments to translations.
And while it may all seem at first very “dysfunctional,” in reality it is well inter-
connected. I have always wanted my teaching to inspire my research and the
research to inform my teaching. I have been able to do that at DePauw.
Since my arrival at DePauw, I have had the opportunity to teach courses
cross-listed in women’s studies, film studies, Latin American and Caribbean
studies, Black studies, and in the first-year programs, many of which I have
developed thanks to faculty development funds. I am particularly excited about
the opportunities to link my Francophone courses to film studies and from which
my students have already begun to benefit (in a First-Year Seminar in fall 2003
and French 315 in spring 2004).

2004 Monon Bell Classic will be telecast on DIRECTV!

For the first time in its history, the Monon Bell Classic will be avail-
able nationwide via DIRECTV when DePauw University and Wabash
College battle this fall in one of college football’s greatest rivalries. The
annual telecast will be seen on channel 321 on DIRECTV, as well as on
WHMB (Channel 40) in Indianapolis, on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 1 p.m.
Played in Crawfordsville this year, it will be the 111th meeting between
the rivals, and the 73rd battle for the Monon Bell.
Alumni across the United States will have the opportunity to watch
the game live on DIRECTV at telecast parties in their area. Alumni in
more than 40 cities hosted telecast parties last year, and these numbers are
expected to increase because DIRECTV is so widely distributed.
