Sophomores Make It Official The Class of 2004's declaration of majors was honored on April 6th during the

annual Sophomore Pinning Ceremony. The event, which took place in the

Emmanuel College Chapel, gathered faculty, staff and students and marked an

important step in the course of academic study. Class President Martha Zamirski

opened the ceremony by introducing Dean of Arts and Sciences Nancy Northrup,

who gave the welcome address.

Class Secretary Amanda Fontaine introduced President Sister Janet Eisner, SND,

who gave her remarks on the day and its significance. Sister Janet told the sopho­

mores, "Now that you have chosen a major, your studies will take on greater

definition as you progress from introductory to more advanced courses. Your

knowledge base will expand, giving you a strong foundation for further intellec­

tual inquiry."

Class Treasurer Cate Comeau introduced the ceremony's guest speaker, alumna

and Emmanuel's Director of Special Gifts Maureen Donnelly '76.

Donnelly remarked during her speech, "Emmanuel is about making connections -

within yourself, with those around you and with the institution - that begin while

you are a student and last for a 1.ifetime. M ake the most out of what these

connections or opportunities have to offer - personally, academically, socially,

professionally. "

Following her remarks, the Class of 2004 Officers presented Donnelly with a gift.

"I think the Sophomore Pinning Ceremony is a wonderful new tradition for

students - a kind of rite of passage whereby students can be formally recognized

by and welcomed into the department they have chosen for their major course of

study. It's an exciting time."

A group of sophomores gathers outside the chapel following the ceremony.

class, followed by the candle lighting,

led by Associate Dean of Academic

Advising Carolyn Caveny and Vice

President for Student Affairs and

Dean of Students Patricia Rissmeyer.

The group joined in singing the

Emmanuel College Alma Mater, led

by Martha Zamirski. Class Vice

President Timothy Harrigan offered

closing remarks. "The Sophomore

Pinning Ceremony is a unique tradi­

tion. It marks our selection of a

major field of study, which is a deci­

sion that often goes unrecognized as

the milestone it is. Emmanuel has

done a great job in affirming the

importance of this decision to its

students. "

The Sophomore Pinning Ceremony

was started in 1997 by the Class of

1999 as a yearly tradition. A recep­

tion immediately followed the cere­

mony.

13th Annual International Hospitality Night

Etntnanuel Cotntnunity Celebrates 13th Annual International Hospitality Night

Kristle L. Gagne '02

A guest, Bharitiben Patel, a guest, Viji Viswanathan, Leila Ameriing, Trishna Ptel, Sammy Lingamneni

Flags of almost every nation adorned Marian Hall, as students, faculty, staff and families gathered to celebrate the diversity of Emmanuel College with a tour of the world through food, song and dance at the 13th Annual International Hospitality Night on March 21st.

An international buffet replaced the everyday dinner menu, with a variety of hors d'oevres for sampling. Guests were treated to international fare including everything from sweet and sour chicken to sushi to quesadillas to scrumptious desserts.

Sister Janet Eisner, SND welcomed every­one to this most-anticipated event. She noted that 21 countries comprised Emmanuel's "global community." "I am thrilled that we are all here this evening for this grand celebration."

The program began with an interna­tiona I welcome to Emmanuel College from students in their native languages of Lebanese, Greek, Filipino, Vietnamese and Spanish, to name a few. Moderator Laura Grande '02 highlighted that this diversity among

4

students is a unique quality of our community. "These performances show that among all the diversity, we share one binding similarity that is Emmanuel College," she said.

The highlight of the evening was the vari­ety of performances by Emmanuel students, displaying their talents as well as their connection to their cultures. The performers were clothed in the tradi­tional attire of their countries as they sang and danced.

The tour of the world of Emmanuel College visited the enchanting countries of eastern Asia. Marina Dang '04, Quinn Lee '03, Nan Pham '02, Tran Trang '02 and Hieu Vu '04 performed a traditional Vietnamese dance. Dressed in light pink gowns with long, flowing scarves, their dance was a combination of

fluid movements. Also representing Asia, Japanese exchange student Aiko Shimada sang of the native fishermen's wishes for a prosperous catch. Sarah Kowit '05 and Rebecca Frade '02 demonstrated two forms of martial arts that are a part of the Chinese and Korean cultures. Kowit showed examples of the Chinese Tae Kwon Do. Frade studies Korean Kenpo Karate and performed techniques that can be incorporated into a form of self­defense. Shannette Sablan '02 brought us to the other side of the globe to her native island country in the Pacific Ocean of Saipan. She performed a dance

accompanied by a song about a person who leaves the island, but will return home.

Our tour of the world also brought us to Africa, where Wambui Thuku '02 repre­sented Kenya with a dance performed to a song written by a friend. Jessica Hughes '05 chose a selection of songs that symbolized the struggles of African Americans and of all people.

International Hospitality Night also stopped in India and Bangladesh, where Bhartiben Patel '04 and Samira Mostafa '02 energized the audience with up­tempo music and dances. Patel's perfor­mance combined traditional and modern Indian dance elements. A song about relationships between men and women accompanied Mostafa's lively presentation of Bangladeshi culture.

The country of Greece was represented by the Greek Dancing Group of the Archdiocese of Boston and also by a delegation of Emmanuel students. Christina Bocolos '02, Simela Giannakopoulos '04, Kristin Lampros '02, Maria Maloutas '02 and Elizabeth

Spellman celebrated Greek independence in their performance. Returning to North America, Lillian Melendez '02 represented her own Puerto Rican heritage by singing her favorite song, "Volveras. "

International Hospitality Night is an

amazing display of the mixture of cultures that comprise Emmanuel. To see the student performers sing along to the songs of their native lands while sharing their customs with the community is an impressive example of the rich diversity of Emmanuel College.

Guest Author Offers Insight to Aspiring Writers David Crouse, a short story and creative nonfiction writer, treated the

Emmanuel community to a reading of his piece "What We Own" during a

presentation and discussion in the Cardinal Cushing Library Reading

Room on April 3rd. Co-sponsored by the English Department, the Office

of Academic Affairs, Kaleidoscope and the Cardinal Cushing Library, this is

the first of what could be a regular series of readings at the College,

giving students the unique opportunity to learn about the process of

writing directly from authors.

Associate Professor of English Richard Murphy coordinated the event and

hopes it was "the first of many readings at Emmanuel College." Murphy

plans to have at least one reading per semester, allowing students to hear

the works of published authors and gain a valuable first-hand perspective

on the craft of writing. Murphy hopes to gain grant funding for the read­

ing series. This, and subsequent presentations, are open to the entire

college community, as well as the Colleges of the Fenway and the

general public.

This was the first time Crouse had done a reading of "What We Own," a

story about the dynamics of a small town family, which was written over

the course of two years. The piece is the first-person narrative of a young

man who has come home after a stint in the army and of how each of

his family members reacts to his return. Following the reading, Crouse

answered questions and discussed his own writing process and style.

Crouse explained that he often has several stories going at once and puts

stories away for months at a time to "let them pickle." In the case of "What

We Own," Crouse eliminated characters and scenes over time, keeping

only what was necessary to the story he wanted to tell.

Crouse concluded the reading by sharing a favorite poem by Jane

Kenyon and wishing all the aspiring writers in the group the best of luck.

He is an assistant professor of English at White Pines College in New

Hampshire, where he teaches creative writing and serves as chair of the

English Department. His stories and essays have been published in a vari­

ety of literary journals including The Greensboro Review, Chelsea, Canadian Literature, Northwest Review, Sonora Review and the Pacific Review. He received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of

Alaska-Fairbanks and a Bachelor of Arts from Bradford College.
