With the infrastructure of our beautiful campus almost complete, St. Thomas University’s new Com-prehensive Capital Campaign will concentrate on raising the bar for our academics. The goal is to make the University one of the top Catho-lic universities in the Southeast.

We are delighted that two STU alumni are heading this Campaign. Mario Trueba, Class of 1980, is chairing the overall campaign and John Dooner, Class of 1970, is Co-Chair. Also co-chairing the com-mittee is the Archbishop of Miami,

the Most Rev. Thomas Wenski. Herman Russomanno, former President of the Florida Bar, President of the Law School Board of Advi-

sors, and parent of two alumni, is chairing the Law School Campaign. STU trustee Jose Navarro is heading the committee to raise funds for the new School of Pharmacy, the fi rst in Miami-Dade County.

Other members of the committee are: Rudy Graf Class of 1970; Jorge Rico, Class of 1986; Tony Argiz of Morrison Brown; and STU trustees Rudy Cecchi, Constance Fernandez, Dominick Miniaci and Gregory Swienton, Chair of the Board.

St. Thomas University is once again recognized at a global level for its faculty leadership in the human rights arena. Professor Roza Pati has been appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to the Pontifi -cal Council for Justice and Peace. The Council, a Vatican body dedicated to the promotion of social justice, has as its main goal advocating peace and justice around the world consistent with the Gospel and the Church’s social teaching.

“This is a signifi cant appointment and a recognition of the global impact Professor Pati has had through her writings and her speeches around the world on human rights issues such as human traffi cking and a recognition of her status as a leader in global hu-man rights,” said School of Law Dean Douglas Ray.

Professor Pati, who was born in Albania, was a member of parliament there and served in the cabinet as Secretary of State for youth and women. A public servant and a scholar, Professor Pati teaches at our Law School and serves as Executive Director of the Graduate Program in Intercultural Human Rights and Director of the Human Traffi cking Academy. “I am extremely proud of Professor Pati,” said St.

We are grateful for the support of all members of the Campaign Committee and also to the members of the Board of Trustees, Presidents Board of Advisors, and the advisory boards for the School of Law, the School of Business, and Athletics for volunteering their assistance.

“As an alum I am proud to chair such an exciting and meaningful campaign for the university. I know the board, administration, deans, professors, and alumni are committed to making it a huge success,” says Campaign Chair, Mario Trueba.

There is no better way to increase our prestige and visibility in the world of academia than establishing Endowed Chairs or Profes-sorships. In each school, we wish to raise funds for endowments that will allow us to hire prestigious professors, nationally known for their research, publication and teaching. They will mentor senior students, bring in top speakers in their fi eld, and serve as an inspiration to students and faculty by instilling good research habits and encouraging publication. The School of Business and the School of Theol-

ogy and Ministry are both aiming at achieving accreditation for their schools, what they term the “Gold Standard” of higher education. En-dowed Chairs will help these schools attain this goal.

Under the umbrella “Pathways to Leadership,” we are raising funds to provide our students with an array of opportunities to broaden their horizons, hone their leadership skills and prepare them for a suc-cessful career and to be leaders of their communities. These are life-changing opportunities such as internships with local, national and international corpo-rations, summer research internships for science students, community ser-vice with local non-profi t organizations (including the Haiti Entrepreneurship project in Port de Paix), study abroad, travel to conferences to present papers, and courses in leadership training. Dis-tinguished speakers from business and academia will come to campus as role models for our students.

Top students in all undergraduate programs will enroll in a new Honors Program, focusing on the theme of leadership. Also based in Biscayne College is the new Institute for World Languages. Concentrating on Spanish and Chinese to begin with, it will fulfi ll our goal for all stu-dents to graduate with a second language. We will establish Endowed Scholarship funds to attract top students to the Honors Program.

Exciting plans at the School of Business include a new Global En-trepreneurship program, with an endowed Entrepreneur-in-Residence and a Student Incubator Fund for students to start their own businesses and graduate with real world experience. Our nationally-recognized

Sports Administration program is going global. We are introducing an international curriculum and establishing agreements with interna-tional universities and sports organizations.

Research is expensive. Support for faculty research and profes-sional development in the sciences and seed money for new labora-tories with equipment and supplies, need continuous funding. Again, endowments are the key to guaranteeing these opportunities in perpe-tuity.

New programs planned in the School of Theology and Ministry include a course for retired seniors who want to learn more about their own and other faith traditions and a new Master’s in Pastoral Care and Counseling to train pastoral clinicians to work in nursing homes, mental health facilities, or correctional institutions. We will be the fi rst Catholic university in Florida to offer this degree.

As you can see on Page 11, our student athletes are succeeding both in the classroom and on the fi eld. With the help of our new Athlet-ics Advisory Board, we are planning to raise $6 million to upgrade our athletic facilties.

We are grateful to all campaign volunteers and all donors current and past. Without you, many of our students could not dream of a pri-vate Catholic college education, and all the advantages it offers them.

Developing Leaders for Life, continued from Page 1

Thomas University President Monsignor Franklyn M. Casale. “She has demonstrated to be a leader in so many areas of social justice.”

Amongst many contributions, Dr. Pati facilitated The Miami Dec-laration of Principles on Human Traffi cking, a consensus formulation of policies drawn up by global experts at St. Thomas University on February 10, 2005 and designed to combat human traffi cking from a victim-oriented perspective. She was also instrumental in organizing a global forum in Rome in 2011: “Building Bridges of Freedom: Public-Private Partnerships to End Modern Day Slavery, ” co-sponsored by STU and the Embassy of the United States of America to the Holy See.

“St. Thomas University has been a pioneer in the struggle for an order of human dignity,” said Professor Pati. “In this new role as an ac-tive member of the Pontifi cal Council, I will help identify ‘the signs of the times,’ and contribute to developing solutions benefi tting humans born in the image of God.”

STU’s Catholic mission is advanced by leaders like Dr. Pati, who continue to foster global dialogues to promote justice, indispensable to the attainment of true world peace.

Rev. John J. Farrell, OSA, passed away on October 5, 2012 in Villanova, PA. Father Farrell was president of Biscayne College/St. Thomas University from 1975-1980.

Dr. Beth M. Stovell, Assistant Professor at the School of Theology, is the co-editor of two recently published books titled Bibli-cal Hermeneutics: Five Views and Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gos-pel: John’s Eternal King. Biblical Hermeneu-tics: Five Views covers the broad history of the Bible tying in the specifi c view points of fi ve scholars who develop their own interpre-tations of the Bible. In Mapping Metaphori-cal Discourse in the Fourth Gospel: John’s Eternal King, she examines the metaphor of Jesus throughout the Fourth Gospel using an

interdisciplinary metaphor theory. The book incorporates cognitive and systemic functional linguistic approaches with literary approaches.

Paul M. Klein, Associate Professor for the School of Business, has been asked to be a member of a panel for the National Academy Foundation (NAF), a leader in the movement to prepare young people for college and career success by fostering partnerships between the business and education communities to provide opportunities to under-served students. They focus on the four themes of Finance, Hospitality & Tourism, Information Technology, and Engineering.

Dr. Ted Whapham, Assistant Professor for the School of Theol-ogy, and Director of the Pastoral Ministry and Master of Divinity graduate programs, has published his book, The Term “Person” in the Trinitarian Theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg. This book analyzes and evaluates the work of the contemporary, German, Lutheran, theo-logian, Wofl hart Pannenberg’s Trinitarian theology. We as Christians traditionally hold to the doctrine of the Trinity by believing in one God in three persons. The book aims to explain the importance of the term “person” for the Christian understanding of God.

Dr. Cam Caldwell, Associate Professor of Management for the School of Business, has published his book, A Transformative Model for Tomorrow’s Leaders. The book explains the challenges leaders face in the 21st century: to restore stakeholder trust, build employee com-mitment, and create organizations that are able to sustain long-term competitive advantage. The purpose is to create organizational systems that reinforce and support core values and that achieve outstanding per-formance.

Dr. Judith Bachay and Dr. Barbara Buzzi, Department of Social Sciences and Counseling, Biscayne College, with graduate student researchers Vicki Rodgiquez and Maria Garavito, presented “When Grandma and Grandpa Become Mom and Dad: Engaging Grandfami-lies in Clinical Practice” at the 2012 American Counseling Associa-tion Annual Conference, San Francisco, CA, March 21-25, 2012. The presentation explored the results of an NIH/EARDA research grant that examined the health and stress indicators among multi-ethnic and multi-lingual grandparents raising grandchildren within an urban envi-ronment that is beset by violence. The study found that the grandparent participants reported generally good health, that they were not overly stressed, and were able to obtain health care services when needed.

Dean Maria Pascuzzi

Dr. Pilar Maul, Assistant Professor of Biology, traveled to Cote D’Ivoire, on the west coast of Africa, last summer to to lead a ten day training work-shop to improve the capacity of the coun-try’s National Agron-omy Research Centre and its scientists in terms of realtime PCR based methods. The training workshop fo-cused on utilizing the equipment to detect Cacao Swollen Shoot Virus infected trees and to perform SNP marker based genotyping. This procedure will help prevent infected trees from being distributed even if they are asymptomatic, leading to the distribu-tion of better, healthier trees to growers.

Dear Alumni and Friends:Our preparations for the new Comprehen-

sive Capital Campaign include the hiring of new staff who bring valuable fundraising expe-rience to the University.

We are pleased to welcome Jeff Robison as Director of Development, and Cheryl Lawko as Director of Annual Giving. Born and raised in Ohio and a relative newcomer to South Florida, Jeff has led fundraising cam-

paigns at Florida State University, the University of South Florida and previously at Ohio State. Also an Ohio native, Cheryl brings her experience from Northwestern University, Barry University and the University of Miami.

With our Campaign Steering Committee meet-ing monthly, our new gift offi cers in place, and with the valuable assistance of our Deans, we are now set for a successful campaign. We are confi dent that the impact of this campaign on our students’ academic performance will be dramatic. The “real world” work experience gained from internships, interact-ing with mentors, or attending national conferences and networking with their peers from other institu-tions, will broaden their horizons and allow them to reach their full potential.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish our St. Thomas Uni-versity family a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Regards,

During this year’s Summer Research Institute at the School of Science, Technology and Engi-neering Management, 66 students from seven universities partici-pated in research internships with faculty mentors. Some worked on projects on campus with their STU professors, whereas others worked with professors or scien-tists at New Mexico Tech, Penn

State, and in seven US Depart-ment of Agriculture laboratories

in Florida, Colorado, and the National Zoo in Washington DC. At the 4th Annual Summer Research Symposium held Sep-

tember 7, they showcased their work with oral and poster presenta-tions. Their projects varied from building solar energy portable panels and weather prediction through satellite imaging, to plant physiology and researching the molecular pathways and character-istics underlying cancer progression.

The USDA internships were funded by the USDA’s Florida-Caribbean Consortium for Ag-riculture Education & Hispanic Workforce Development (FC-CAgE), a multi-institutional consortium grant funded by the USDA Hispanic Serving Institutions Grants Program. Other internships were funded by grants from the US Depart-ment of Education and private donors.

Most students do not have this hands-on research opportunity until they reach graduate school, but at STU the faculty and staff of the School of Science are committed to providing this unique opportunity to talented undergraduate students. This experience places them in an excellent position to gain entrance into graduate or professional schools, or to directly enter the workforce in South Florida.

Ashley Perez, a senior math major, and Treasurer of STU Student Government Association, conducted meteorological sta-tistical analysis to discover the effect of air quality on individuals with asthma. “The project helped me enormously with my analyti-cal and presentation skills,” she says.

Vanessa Valentin, a junior biology major, worked in a US De-partment of Agriculture lab in Broward County to fi nd a specifi c insect that would be a natural enemy for an invasive plant. “It was the fi rst time meeting people in the science world and I really en-joyed it,” said Valentin. “I will continue my research for six hours a week in class this year.”

and Students Visit CubaTen students from the School of Theology and Ministry accompa-nied by Rev. Monsignor Franklyn Casale, Dr. Mary Carter Waren, Sister Ondina Cortes, and Dr. Brian Froehle, traveled to Cuba in late February to participate in a religious study course. The trip gave the students a window into the religious perspective, deep history, and rich culture of Cuba. They joined students from vari-ous universities in opening their eyes to the joys and struggles of what life is like for young people involved in the church. They visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity during the 400th year an-niversary in Cobre, Cuba. It also marked the fi rst time current stu-dents visited STU’s precursor in Havana, La Universidad de Santo Tomas de Villanueva.

50th Anniversary Trip to Cuba

Monsignor Casale, board members and friends visited Cuba in May to visit historical, religious and educational sites

Bobcat athletes excelled this year on the playing fi eld and in the classroom. STU is quickly becoming a destination for the fi n-est student-athletes, both domestically and abroad.

In The Sun Conference, STU fi nished third in the standings of the Commissioner’s Cup, which ranks the total success of the conference’s athletic programs. This suc-cess can be credited to our very own, Ath-letic Director Laura Courtley-Todd, Class of 1995, MS in Sports Administration. She was named The Sun Conference Athletic Di-rector of the Year 2012 – the fi rst time STU has won this award.

A total of 90 national and conference honors were handed out in the 2011-12 season to STU student-athletes. Omar Tejeira with Men’s Golf and Dane Stone with Men’s Baseball were named fi rst-team All- Americans, the fi rst time St. Thomas has had multiple fi rst-team All-Americans since 2001. Twenty two Bobcats were named to All-Con-ference teams, including two Conference Players of the Year, Omar Tejeira and Joel Capote with Men’s Baseball, and a Conference Defen-sive Player of the Year Dannisha Pierce with Women’s Basketball.

In the classroom, 12 St. Thomas student-athletes were honored as Daktronics-NAIA Scholar Athletes (junior or senior with GPA of 3.5 or above) and eight Bobcats were named to Capital One Academic All-America All-District teams (sophomores with GPA of 3.3 or above). St. Thomas student-athletes representing ten different sports collected a total of 19 Academic All-Conference awards.

Since 1984, 16 STU baseball players have been drafted by the major leagues. This year, our baseball program has produced two elite athletes, both Miami natives, that were drafted in June by Ma-jor League Baseball. Dane Stone was selected in the 25th round by The Miami Marlins and is a right handed closing pitcher in the Rookie Gulf Coast League for the GCL Marlins. He was named First-Team All-American by the NAIA as the only relief pitcher selected and he became the fourth NAIA First-Team All-American from St. Thomas. He set a school record of 16 saves that ranked him second in the nation along with a 5-2 record and a 1.38 ERA.

Joel Capote was selected in the 28th round by The Los Ange-les Angels of Anaheim and played for the Rookie Arizona League for the AZL Angels. He currently plays centerfi eld for the Orem OWLZ Baseball in the Rookie Pioneer League, which is also an affi liate of the Los Angeles Angels. Capote was named Player of the Year by The Sun Conference, First-Team All Conference, and was also named the NAIA Second-Team All American. He led STU’s baseball team in batting av-erage, runs scored, walks, and stolen bases.
