Americans with Disabilities Act. Our motto, “Hazard Yet Forward,” resonates during this time of economic challenges. In- dividuals and organizations are being affected in many ways. At Seton Hill University, we are monitoring the situation closely and have completed contingency plans to adjust our spending as opportunities and challenges require. I want to assure you that, during this time of uncertainty, our students are, and will remain, our highest priority.

As we have completed assessments we have also taken time to reflect upon the many ac- complishments of the last decade. Enrollment at Seton Hill University for 2008 has climbed to an all-time high, now exceeding 2,000 students. While we cannot take such growth for granted, we know that our strategic guideposts remain on target. Our deci- sions to become a fully coeducational institution, and to introduce athletic programs at- tractive to young men, proved very significant. Male students have enrolled in large numbers, and have contributed to the tripling of enrollment in the last decade. The addition of relevant programs at the graduate level, particularly in health-related fields such as physician assistant, and programs that teachers need, like instructional technology and inclusive education, have been equally valuable. We have also introduced some creative courses of study, well exemplified by our masters program in the writing of popular fiction.

A key factor in our current growth is our relationship with the community. We are building strong working partnerships with local governments, municipalities, and school districts, as well as with the county and state. We are working closely with our neighbors in the community to meet our needs and theirs without duplicated efforts, wasted dollars, or redundant projects. In recent years, we have been moving steadily closer - both figura- tively and literally.

The University Center for the Performing Arts is the fulfillment of a longstanding dream for Seton Hill. We very badly needed this kind of facility - with concert hall, performance studio, and flexible theatre, rehearsal spaces, set design, and costume shops, classrooms and faculty offices - but we could have elected to build it right on campus. We have had the academic disciplines in theatre, music and dance, but we had kept them in the academy, so to speak. We could have continued doing exactly what we had always done, which had been very fine, but I do not know that we would have advanced our programs one iota. We would be missing the dimension of a continually growing and broadening audience.

SETON HILL’S DIVISION OF NATURAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES: AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMIE FORNSAGLIO, PHD

WHAT DISTINGUISHES SETON HILL FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES WHEN IT COMES TO THE SCIENCES?

DR. FORNSAGLIO: We’re a small school with big school experiences for students, including research opportunities. The faculty work one-on-one with students. And we prepare scientists with a strong background in the liberal arts.

SINCEYOU BROUGHT UP RESEARCH RIGHT OFF THE BAT,LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT FIRST.

DR. FORNSAGLIO: In order to learn, to build a desire to move science forward, you must be able to perform active research in a lab. Over the past three years we’ve been working with a group of biology and chemistry majors on a research project for the Department of Defense. This opportunity, which came as a result of a Seton Hill contract with IMS Government Solutions, the Depart- ment of Defense, and the Air Force, involved research into homologous recombinational and excision repair.

ust over 12 years ago, with my degree in my hand, I drove off the Seton Hill campus into a future I felt confident I was fully prepared for. Although I’d leave behind the place I called home for four years, I’d have the memories. As years went by after graduation, I was busy putting my education to good use, while I watched as JSeton Hill continued to grow and flourish. What was once primarily a women’s college now had a football team. Soon,“college” was replaced by “university” and amazing buildings were changing the landscape. It was exciting to see that Seton Hill was expanding and providing so many more opportunities. But I couldn’t help but feel as though “my” college wasn’t mine anymore. I loved the whole Seton Hill experience, and I worried that those years would be bulldozed and built upon, buried and forgotten.

I had a different reaction to the changes during a recent trip with a classmate to the Hill.“It looks so different now, but it still feels the same,”my friend said to me as we sat on a swing in front of Sullivan. And she’s right. There may be new things all around me when I visit Seton Hill, but the feeling that I belong there is still very real. It’s the feeling I had the first day I stepped on campus, the feeling at graduation, and amid all the changes, it’s still the feeling I have more than 12 years later as Seton Hill forges ahead.

In presenting the award to Sr. Lois, Mr. McGrady’s son, John E. McGrady III, a Pittsburgh tax attorney, said that she “has spent her entire life teaching about compassion, tolerance and understanding.”

“It’s my passion,” said Sr. Lois, referring to her work with college students, and to the study of the Holocaust in particular. In accepting the award, she thanked her parents, “who modeled for us respect and belief in Catholic-Jewish dialogue.” She mentioned also that one of McGrady’s daughters, Sr. Kathy, is a member of

A Spirit-Changing Experience

LAURIE PELLAND WAY ’60 DESCRIBES WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO SING IN THE PAPAL MASS CHOIR IN WASHINGTON, DC ON APRIL 17, 2008

The 250 of us in the Papal Mass Choir worked very, very hard under the gifted director, Tom Stehle, at St. Mark’s Church in Hyattsville. It was an excellent musical education and, I believe, made us all into better singers. Singing at the Mass itself was a spirit-changing experience. Three of us were seated in the front row behind the huge gong, which was part of the brass ensemble on a stage in front of the choir; we three couldn’t see the Pope, the altar or the grounds of Nationals Park. We could see the upper stands and their tops, on which were stationed sharpshooters. One of the eeriest, most poignant moments I’ve ever experienced was that moment at which Pope Benedict entered the stadium in the Popemobile — we could tell by the cheering of the audience — we began to sing the gentle song, “Tu es Petrus” (“You are Peter”), and I looked up at the clear, bright-blue sky, the helicopter circling overhead and the sharpshooters on top of the stadium. More than 45,000 people shared the Papal Mass with the four choirs (Intercultural, Children’s, Gospel and ours). Each choir had selections of its own, and all the choirs joined together for many hymns. Most thrilling of all were the times when thousands in the stadium added their voices to the prayerful music.

Library of Congress “Preserving Virtual Worlds” Project Taps Seton Hill Professor’s Expertise with Interactive Fiction

ennis Jerz, PhD, associate professor of English and new media journalism, recently unearthed a long-lost digital artifact – the source code for Dthe world’s first computer adventure game, Colossal Cave Adventure. A few weeks before the announcement of his discovery in the September 2007 issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ), an editor leaked a rough draft via his blog. Within days, cyberculture hotspots such as Boing Boing, MetaFilter, and Slashdot (“News for Nerds”) filled with posts celebrating the discovery. “It is clear on a single reading that this is the most important single paper ever written on the history of interactive fiction,” said one post, while another read, “For fans like me, this is like finding the Holy Grail.”

Adventure was written around 1975 in the Fortran programming language. Will Crowther, its creator, was an amateur caver and part of the legendary team of programmers who developed ARPANET, the forerunner to the Internet.

In an Adventure game, the computer prints out a brief textual description of a simulated environment. The player interacts with the world by typing simple commands (“enter building” or “attack dwarf”). While basic and without graphics of any kind, Adventure’s popularity nonetheless inspired scores of popular commercial titles during the 1980s, and its influence still echoes in today’s online graphics-intensive fantasy epics.

Dr. Jerz, who teaches a Videogame Culture and Theory course at Seton Hill, became interested in Adventure while preparing a bibliography of interactive fiction. He found frequent references to the game’s importance, but conflicting accounts of its origin.

Crowther based Adventure on a real cave in Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave National Park. Much of the scholarly confusion concerning the game sprang from the fact that a Stanford graduate student named Don Woods released a vastly expanded version, which was widely shared and revised. Dr. Jerz began his hunt in earnest after learning from Crowther and Woods that neither had kept a copy of the original.

“It was like trying to study Hamlet after it had been combined with Jane Eyre,” Dr. Jerz says. “I realized to understand this text, I needed the original code – and the original cave.”

After years of stop-and-go research, Dr. Jerz found himself on the trail of a thirty- year-old reel of magnetic tape that he hoped would contain a backup of Don Woods’ student account. A Stanford system administrator agreed to retrieve the files (with permission from Woods), and their combined efforts yielded the missing computer code.

Dr. Jerz also joined the Cave Research Foundation on an expedition to the real Colossal Cave in July 2005, where the party photographed many of the game’s landmarks.

In this capacity, the classrooms will be available for faculty and student group projects, research, or informal gatherings. While all of Seton Hill’s classrooms feature modern technology, the new classrooms are also designed to encourage interactive learning – between students and professors, students and their peers, and students and technology. As such, they will be adapt- able learning spaces, allowing the technology and the physical layout of the room itself to be easily reconfigured to meet the requirements of the students or the course. A professor, for instance, may choose to eliminate the “single instructor” perspective in a course by defining multiple teaching points around the room.

Just as she did with the Virtual Faculty Academy, Spataro will train Seton Hill faculty (and some student services staff) to use the new technology, which falls into two distinct categories: interactive and assistive.

Interactive technology supports students in the creation of their own learning activities and experiences. One popular type of interactive technology allows players to create a computer persona, called an avatar, which the player then uses to solve problems and overcome challenges inside a virtual world. This type of interactive educational technology borrows its model from online and computer gaming activities already familiar to many students (and professors!)
