Sweet Briar College Magazine – Fall 2019 Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, At Sweet Briar, leadership is based on the lived experience of the women it has edu- cated and graduated. Our alumnae have been leaders who have rolled up their sleeves and gotten things done, without thought about who gets the credit. ln doing so, they have been effective decision-makers, problem-solvers, collaborators and morale boost- ers — and above all, they have been “useful citizens.” I believe leadership can be defined and taught, and I believe that Sweet Briar is just the kind of place where that can happen, which is why I launched our leadership core curriculum. At the base of the core is the effort to habituate in the minds of uro students the skills of problem-solving, decision-making and ethical thinking, as well as the logical and expressive ability to persuade. Not coincidentally, these are also the fundamentals of a liberal arts education. Last year, we rolled out the first six courses of the core, including Design Thinking and The Mindful Writer, and this year will see us launch the final four courses. Good leaders must have an understanding of financial resources and goals. In Dollars and Sense, students learn from economic history, institutional economics and entrepreneurship so that they’ll be prepared to advocate for themselves and the organizations they lead. In Decisions in a Data-driven World, students engage with data-rich topics from a variety of fields such as health, science and technology nda political science to develop the ability to reason and work with data, and understand and present arguments supported by quantitative evidence. Contemporary Ethical Questions asks students to address complex issues using the frameworks of philosophical ethics and apply these diverse perspectives to propose solutions for questions for which there are no clear-cut answers. Finally, in the culmi- nating capstone of our leadership core, the Consequential Citizen, students will travel to presidential locations in Virginia where they will learn through lectures, conver- sations and from primary documents about the principles that undergird American leadership. These principles will inform their leadership as women in the 21st century. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to attend events around the country and talk to our students about these courses and what they’re learning. Further, I hope that you’ll support the core curriculum, and the College, by making regular donations to our annual fund. Together, there’s nothing we cannot do.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • Blacks Reveal TV Loyalty
    Page 1 1 of 1 DOCUMENT Advertising Age November 18, 1991 Blacks reveal TV loyalty SECTION: MEDIA; Media Works; Tracking Shares; Pg. 28 LENGTH: 537 words While overall ratings for the Big 3 networks continue to decline, a BBDO Worldwide analysis of data from Nielsen Media Research shows that blacks in the U.S. are watching network TV in record numbers. "Television Viewing Among Blacks" shows that TV viewing within black households is 48% higher than all other households. In 1990, black households viewed an average 69.8 hours of TV a week. Non-black households watched an average 47.1 hours. The three highest-rated prime-time series among black audiences are "A Different World," "The Cosby Show" and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," Nielsen said. All are on NBC and all feature blacks. "Advertisers and marketers are mainly concerned with age and income, and not race," said Doug Alligood, VP-special markets at BBDO, New York. "Advertisers and marketers target shows that have a broader appeal and can generate a large viewing audience." Mr. Alligood said this can have significant implications for general-market advertisers that also need to reach blacks. "If you are running a general ad campaign, you will underdeliver black consumers," he said. "If you can offset that delivery with those shows that they watch heavily, you will get a small composition vs. the overall audience." Hit shows -- such as ABC's "Roseanne" and CBS' "Murphy Brown" and "Designing Women" -- had lower ratings with black audiences than with the general population because "there is very little recognition that blacks exist" in those shows.
