All Sports Program 2016 Wco 2016 FIGHTING ILLINI ALL-SPORTS CELEBRATION This evening, the University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics honors its best and brightest, from the fields and courts of athletic competition, and from the classrooms and laboratories of the campus. We are particularly pleased to present the Class of 2016! There are numerous Fighting Illini athletic highlights that we celebrate this evening. We are indeed proud of all of these accomplishments, and of each student-athlete and all of the coaches and support staff members who have made them possible. 2015-16 SEASON IN REVIEW IN THE CLASSROOM… The combined GPA for all U of I student-athletes last spring was a 3.24, and the GPA from last fall was a 3.23. In the fall 2015 semester, 26 student-athletes earned perfect 4.0 GPAs. In fall 2015, 65 percent of our student-athletes earned GPAs over a 3.00. IN THE COMMUNITY… Fighting Illini student-athletes have been very involved within the community again this year through the Hometown Heroes program. Student-athletes from all 19 sports have taken part in more than 130 events at schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and with orga- nization, such as the Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club, the Crisis Nursery, Eastern Illinois Foodbank and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Here are some of this year’s highlights: • Freshmen student-athletes enrolled in summer school last July visited Camp Granada, a camp for kids who are diabetic, to take part in various activities and encourage the kids to be active. • Illini student-athletes partnered with Special Spectators in September to provide a week of special events for children from Carle Hospital who are undergoing treatment for cancer or other blood disorders. Football players visited children in the hospital during the week leading up to the game and then on game day provided a tour of the football facil- ity. Student-athletes from wrestling, softball, soccer and swimming hosted a tailgate party for the kids and their families before attending the football game vs. Middle Tennessee. • Every Fighting Illini team joined forces with DIA staff to provide 52 Thanksgiving bas- kets for families in need this year. • During the holidays, student-athletes hosted their annual party for kids on the waiting list of Big Brothers Big Sisters. The kids were able to play games, decorate cookies and ornaments with their favorite Fighting Illini student-athletes and enjoy a visit from Santa, Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves before attending a men’s basketball home game. • Through the Angel Tree Project, Fighting Illini teams purchased and wrapped gifts for more than 30 children over the holidays. • Student-athletes have participated in numerous reading events this year through our 2nd & 7 reading program, reading sport-themed books to second graders about topics such as sportsmanship, teamwork and anti-bullying. Through this program our student- athletes are able to show kids the importance of reading and encourage them to continue to read after the visit by providing each child with their own copy of a book. • In the spring, the softball team kicked off a new pilot outreach program called F.A.N.S. to encourage elementary school children in four areas (fitness, academics, nutrition, and sportsmanship). The team provided tips in each F.A.N.S. area and led the kids through a variety of activities. • The women’s gymnastics team continued their work at Kenwood Elementary School this year, assisting in classrooms and participating in the school’s Trunk or Treat and Craft Nights. The team was recognized for their efforts at the school by the U of I’s Office of Volunteer Programs as the recipient of this year’s Illini Spirit Award. • Student-athletes continued their partnership with the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen by bagging snacks and helping serve hot meals during the week and sack lunches on the weekend. • Fighting Illini student-athletes in February held their annual variety show, Jock Jams, rais- ing more than $10,000 for Cunningham Children’s Home, Illinithon, and Uplifting Athletes. Over the past seven years, Illini student-athletes have raised more than $90,000 through this annual event. • Softball extended normal Hometown Heroes community service reach by volunteering at an elementary school and senior assisted living facility while on the road this spring competing at Purdue and Wisconsin.

    Fugitive Slave Traffic and the Maritime World of New Bedford A Research Paper prepared for New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and the Boston Support Office of the National Park Service Prepared by: Kathryn Grover, Historian New Bedford, Massachusetts September 1998 FUGITIVE SLAVE TRAFFIC AND MARITIME NEW BEDFORD / 1 SEPT 1998 / PAGE 1 Fugitive Slave Traffic and the Maritime World of New Bedford Kathryn Grover is an independent writer and editor in American history and has lived in New Bedford since 1992. She is the author of Make a Way Somehow: African American Life in a Northern Community, published by Syracuse University Press in 1994 and winner of that year's John Ben Snow Prize as the best manuscript in New York State history and culture. This research paper is part of a larger work, The Fugitive's Gibraltar: Escaping Slaves and Abolitionism in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to be published by the University of Massachusetts Press in Fall 2000. You may recollect the circumstance that took place a few weeks since, the attempt to capture a slave, who escaped to this place in a vessel from Norfolk, Va., they came at that time very near capturing him. We have just now got information that his owner has offered a high reward for him and that they have actually formed all their plans to take him without any delay. We think it imprudent for him to be here after the boat arrives, and I could not think of any better plan than sending him to Fall River, if you can keep him out of sight for a short time.

  • Behind the Mansions: the Political, Economic, and Social Life of a New Bedford Neighborhood
    Behind the Mansions: The Political, Economic, and Social Life of a New Bedford Neighborhood Introduction: The Study Area and Scope This study examines the largely residential area lying immediately east of the mansions on County Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, as it existed before the Civil War. Within the boundaries of this area—from Union Street on the north, Wing Street on the south, County Street on the west, and South Sixth Street on the east—lived wealthy white whaling and shoreside merchants as well as skilled craftspeople, shop owners, and a full range of service workers, laborers, and mariners of both Caucasian and African descent. In architectural terms the area includes Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and some early Italianate homes ranging from high to vernacular styles. In these respects the area may be viewed as a cross-section of the city’s antebellum built environment and population. Whether the area may properly be termed a neighborhood—in the sense of being an urban subsection that people then perceived to have its own set of social connections and physical boundaries—is not possible to establish.1 Certainly Union Street, as New Bedford’s main commercial artery before the War, was a real and psychic boundary, and in this section County Street formed for all intents and purposes the western edge of the city up to the Civil War. Moreover, the area between County and South Sixth Streets was a distinctly different physical space than what existed to its east, roughly between Fifth (now Pleasant) Street and the Acushnet River waterfront.

  • Knowledge of Leviathan Charles W
    N OTES AND D OCUMENTS Knowledge of Leviathan Charles W. Morgan Anatomizes His Whale DAN BOUK AND D. GRAHAM BURNETT Whales loomed large in the imagination at the start of the nineteenth century, particularly in the United States, where they not only constituted a major source of revenue but also symbolized the unrivaled enterprise of Yankee seamen, who had put British and French sailors to shame by pursuing the ocean’s most feared and valuable prey in pre- viously unhazarded waters. Spermaceti candles cast bright light in the homes of the well-to-do, and whale-oil lamps provided less luxe illumina- tion to others; ‘‘whalebone,’’ or the elastic strips cut from the baleen plates of the Right and Bowhead whales, shaped women’s silhouettes (by providing the architecture of the ubiquitous corsets) and the not-entirely- dissimilar form of the umbrella (the ribs of which hailed from the same source).1 The authors are, respectively, doctoral candidate and associate professor of history in the Department of History at Princeton University, where they are both members of the Program in the History of Science. Correspondence should be addressed to Burnett ([email protected]). 1. By the late eighteenth century, British commentators were already comment- ing on the American whalemen and noting how English seamen fared ill in com- parison. See, for instance, Edmund Burke addressing Parliament in 1775: ‘‘And pray, sir, what in the world is equal to it? Pass by the other parts, and look at the manner in which the people of New England have of late carried on the Whale Fishery.

  • Fugitive Slaves in Alaska: Phase One Research Report
    FUGITIVE SLAVES IN ALASKA: PHASE ONE RESEARCH REPORT Kathryn Grover / September 2001 Proposed by Gates of the Arctic National Park, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, and San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, this project has aimed to document whether people of color attempting to escape slavery in the American South had made their way to New Bedford, had signed on as crew of whaling vessels, and had continued on to, and settled in, the territory that became the state of Alaska. The sources that exist for studying this question are numerous, chief among them whaling crew lists, logbooks and journals kept on whaling voyages, exploration narratives, censuses, and an array of quantitatively oriented secondary sources.i Crew lists, which the United States Congress mandated in 1803 in order for a vessel to be cleared for a voyage, exist for New Bedford from about 1807 forward. For this project lists from 1842 to 1861 were surveyed: the first bowhead whales in the North Pacific were taken in 1843 by vessels that left the port of New Bedford in 1842, the first New FUGITIVES IN ALASKA / REPORT #1, SEPT 2001 / PAGE 1 Bedford whalers destined for the Northwest Coast of America appear to have left port in 1842, and 1861 represents the beginning of the American Civil War.ii For San Francisco such lists exist from 1851 forward; because crew lists and associated shipping articles have never been processed or cataloged, it was only possible to review carefully the lists for 1851.iii Crew lists, in combination with census work that can distinguish the settled from the transient population in New Bedford, are valuable because they can pinpoint those whaling voyages on which fugitives are most likely to have been present.

  • Innovation to Transformation 2011 Annual Report Director’S Message
    From Innovation To Transformation 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Director’s Message Dear Friends, As 2011 draws to a close, Partners In Health is approaching several major milestones. On January 12, we will observe the second anniversary of the devastating earthquake that destroyed Haiti’s capital and killed over a quarter million people. Six months later, we will celebrate the opening of the 320-bed, national referral and teaching hospital we have been building at breathtaking speed in Mirebalais. Around the same time, we will spend the last of the tens of millions of dollars we received after the earthquake, fulfilling the commitment of our Stand With Haiti plan to invest it all in emergency relief and long-term reconstruction over a 30-month period. On my first visit to Haiti following the earthquake, I observed, “Haiti’s catastrophe will forever divide its history into before earthquake and after.” I also realized, although I didn’t say so at the time, that the earthquake would demarcate PIH’s history as well. In the two years since the earthquake—with the support of so many of you who have rallied to our side—our Haitian colleagues have truly performed miracles. They have worked tirelessly to provide lifesaving medical care to tens of thousands of people affected first by the earthquake and then, less than a year later, by a deadly outbreak of cholera that has now killed more than 6,500 people and sickened nearly half a million. They have reinforced our own services and supported national initiatives to strengthen rehabilitative medicine, mental health, and other specialties that had always been weak in Haiti and were even more desperately needed by a population scarred physically and emotionally by the back-to-back disasters.
