alsh Library Gallery was awash in the bright colors of creativity as it served as the Northeast region exhibit site for the 2001-02 Crayola Dream-Makers Program. Seton Hall University was one of five schools from around the nation chosen for this initiative, which celebrates the creativity of elementary school students. This year’s theme, “Dreams, Design and Dimension,” focuses on the integration of artistic creativity with concepts such as geometry and mathematics. The gallery featured more than 40 pieces of artwork created by schoolchildren from thro ughout the Northeast. Students from local schools came to campus to take part in multicultural language and visual arts workshops during the Fall Semester. Abstract Impression by James Cadestin A love of music inspired James Cadestin, a 10-year-old student at Elmora School #12 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. “One day I dream to be in New Orleans watching Calvin Cool playing his instrument and singing,” James says.

William Spade ’81 was one of hundreds of New York City firefighters who responded to the call for help at the World Trade Center on September 11. He serves with Tactical Support Unit 2, based on Staten Island (Tactical 2 shares a firehouse and responds to calls with Rescue 5). Unlike many of his colleagues, Spade managed to escape with his life. His harrowing account of these events at Ground Zero was written just two days after the terrorist attacks.

28 SETON HALL UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE The Asia Center raises cultural awareness by bringing guest speakers, performances and art exhibits to Seton Hall University. The litho - graph at right, by Korean artist Lee So-Ji, was part of “Politics in Art: Asian Style in the Face of Tradition and Change.” The exhibit, which ran from November 2000 through January 2001 in Walsh Library Gallery, featured 33 works by contemporary Korean and Chinese artists. The collection was on loan from Andrew B. and Wan Kyun Rhi Kim. A promi - nent Asian-American businessman, Andrew B.
