The format for Speed Networking is adopted from the popular “speed dating” model. Students and company representatives sit on opposite sides of a table and engage in a two-minute discussion. After the allotted time has passed, the students move to the next seat over and meet someone new. Menlo added a new activity to its Speed Networking program which just may become a new web jargon for Twitter job seekers. Participants had the opportunity to “twitch”. A “twitch” (combining the words “tweet” and “pitch”) is a brief 140-character self- description that a person would use to position themselves as an enticing employer or employee. The twitches were posted on the Menlo College Twitter page, and a web application projected the twitches onto a screen as they were updated. By the end of the night, each student had met with 20 alumni and collected several business cards.

MENLO COLLEGE 15 An Excerpt from Barry Adelman’s Keynote: I hope one of the things you are picking up from me is how I enjoy what I do. It’s a passion for me. And I say this to each and every one of you. If you’re going to go into the business of entertainment—whether it’s the creative part, the business part, the accounting, what- ever it is, I promise you it will dominate your life. In fact, most careers that you choose are going to dominate your life. And it’s very, very important in my opinion—and I don’t have all the answers—but in my opinion, you have to keep two things at the fore- front of your mind. One is, “am I good in this field, can I succeed in it, am I really qualified for it?” or “Do I just want to be in it for a lot of reasons that probably are wrong?” That’s number one, and two, “Do I love it?” because you are going to spend more time on your job than you’re going to spend with the person whom you live with; you’re going to spend more time than with your animals, with your cars, whatever your passions are. Your job is going to be the one constant, so make sure you love it. I hope you love it as much as I love it. Don’t let anybody ever tell you that you can’t do anything. If you believe in yourself, go as far as your ability and talent will take you. But think about what you’re going to do.

“We are so very fortunate in this country not to have to sell our votes to eat or provide for our families, not to have to fight to express our views – however faint we may feel our voice might be at times–not to have to protest or demonstrate or otherwise convince our leaders that we are worthy to vote. We have that right and we have an unimpeded capability to use it. For that, we can today, Constitution Day, say words in support of the document assuring us that right. Even better, in the future we can regularly demonstrate our commitment to the Constitution and our so-very-special and oft-neglected rights, by voting.” An excerpt from Mayor of Atherton Kathy McKeithen’s Constitution Day Speech, 09/2010

The highlight of the event—held in remembrance of former A soccer coach, athletic director, professor, and president of Menlo College, Dr. Carlos López—was the alumni soccer match, which featured many Menlo alums whose lives were touched by the late Dr. López. It also a"orded the participants time to swap stories about the in#uential Oak who mentored so many members of the Menlo family throughout his decades on campus. Funds from the event help to sustain the Carlos López Endowed Scholarship.

32 SPRING 2011 enlo College’s 2nd Annual Señor Carlos López Memorial Soccer MTournament was held September 18 on the Wunderlich Soccer Field. Carlos López, President, professor and coach, who passed away in March, 2009, was a major inspiration for Menlo College soccer for over 45 years. The soccer alumni initiated this annual soccer tournament and reunion to honor his leadership and impact on their lives, speci$cally by raising funds to support the Carlos López Endowed Scholarship.

enlo College Director of Athletics Keith Spataro was named the inaugural California MPaci$c Conference Athletic Director of the Year. Spataro earned the award for his e"orts to advance the Oaks athletic program dur- ing the 2009-10 academic year, his second term as Director of Athletics. He started the men’s wrestling program in 2000 and led the program to national prominence before stepping down to focus on his duties as Director of Athletics in the spring of 2009. “We are delighted that Keith Spataro has been recognized as the California Paci$c Conference’s $rst Athletic Director of the Year,” said President James J. Kelly. “In his short time as Menlo College’s Athletic Director, he has demonstrated his commitment creat- ing an environment of sportsmanship, teamwork and athleticism. Keith sets the bar high for programs built upon the scholar-athlete model.” Under Spataro, Menlo Athletics has been a major advocate of the NAIA Champions of Character program, with volleyball star Stephanie Williamson earning Champion of Character distinction and men’s wrestling’s Hanna Malak, one of only 13 student- athletes from across the country selected to take part in this summer’s Red Cross/NAIA Leadership Program. Nine Oaks earned Academic All-American or Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete accolades during the 2009-10 school year, with a total of 17 individual honors and 38 conference honors earned by student-athletes. “Keith is a deserving recipient of this award,” said Don Ott, Cal Pac commissioner. “He has done as much, if not more, than anyone since I’ve been commissioner to help the conference grow. His commitment to Menlo College and the Cal Pac sets a standard to which all of us can aspire.” Spataro has also made strong e"orts to create a more recognizable brand for the athletic department. In the last year, under Spataro’s direction, the department has unveiled a new set of logos and a new web site with more improvements sure to come. Menlo Athletics has also made the move to an exclusive a!liate with the NAIA for the 2010-11 school year. Spataro served as the Cal Pac’s representative to the NAIA’s National Administrative Council and spearheaded the movement to host the NAIA-SIDA Convention on the Menlo College campus. “I am humbled to be selected by my peers for this award. The e"orts of my sensational sta" allowed me and our department to shine in our conference,” said Spataro.
