School of Information Science has changed it. Since last year, the School has been hosting free bimonthly CIO Roundtables on the Claremont campus for just this purpose. “This is a great opportunity to network with the IT community and address rele- vant topics,” says roundtable regular John Pringle, senior vice president for the western region of RCM Technologies in Anaheim. “It gives me great perspective on what other companies are doing.” Each two-hour discussion focuses on a particular topic chosen in advance by the participants. Noted experts on the issue are invited to give a brief presentation leading off the discussion. Participant Gregg Parker, managing partner of software consulting firm Ultigon, says there is a huge amount of take-home value for the attendees. “The roundtables are very practical, very prag- matic. We all face many of the same problems, and this is an opportunity to share how each of us has solved them. It’s like a support group.” The roundtable events have drawn scores of CIOs from both the Inland Empire and coastal areas, representing a Distinguished Leaders, Stephen A.

As a significant part of CGU’s administrative leadership team, Dreyer always emphasized quality improvement in the lives of faculty and students. Whether taking the lead or providing support for CGU’s plans, Dreyer pointed out the many positive changes during the past few years: a successful WASC re-accreditation, increased faculty equity and diversity, strengthened faculty research potential, creation of programs in transdisciplinary studies, establishment of two retirement incentive plans, initiation of the Schools of Mathematical Science and Religion, establishment of the Offices of Research and Sponsored Projects and Institutional Research, and improvement of information technology resources for students and faculty. Additionally, the administrative leadership he provided helped to balance the budget each year and increased the endowment by 50 percent. He is most proud of the strengthening of shared governance and trust between faculty and the administration. As he moves into the dean’s office in educational studies and back into the classroom, Dreyer had these thoughts, “I have always told my students that ‘I would rather teach than breathe,’ so returning to teach and provide leadership in the school is for me not only a breath of fresh air, but also an opportunity to renew close relationships with my best friends and colleagues.”

AN interview WITH President Robert Klitgaard

n July 1, Robert Klitgaard succeeded President Steadman Upham and Interim President William L. Everhart Oas CGU’s 13th president. He came to Claremont from the Pardee RAND Graduate School in Santa Monica, where since 1997 he was the dean and Ford Distinguished Professor of International Development and Security. Klitgaard has enjoyed an illustrious academic career. The author of eight books and scores of articles, he has been a professor of economics at Yale’s School of Management and an associate professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where he also served half time as special assistant to Harvard president Derek Bok. He has also been on the faculties of the University of Karachi (Pakistan), the University of Natal (South Africa), the World Economic Forum (Switzerland), and the World Bank Institute. Growing up in California, Klitgaard studied at Harvard University, earning a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and master’s and Ph.D. degrees in public policy. What makes Bob Klitgaard’s career unique is that beyond academia he has worked on development programs in more than 30 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. One of his specialties is government reform. The Christian Science Monitor called him “the world’s leading expert on corruption.” His book, Tropical Gangsters, was named one of The New York Times “books of the century.” When The Flame’s news editor, Bryan Schneider, recently had a chat with President Klitgaard, it was this unusual international focus that prompted the first questions.

As a young potter, Longenecker’s frequent Soetsu Yanagi, trips to Japan exposed her to the importance of the Shoji Hamada and Kanjiro interrelationship of all things. “My travels to the Kawai East made me receptive to many things,” she says. By juxtaposing objects properly in light and space, their unique energies emerge. Visitors to the museum come to understand the importance of objects that connect us to the earth and to the people who made them. This concept of connection is echoed in the relationships Longenecker developed during her education at CGU. She credits CGU with playing a pivotal role in her career. After graduating from UCLA, Longenecker came to Claremont to study painting with Millard Sheets and to acquire a secondary teaching credential. “Claremont Graduate School had a unique program which required student teachers to live in the community for the semester in which they were doing student teaching. As a result, they were with their students daily, learning what teaching was all about. All academic classes were held on Saturdays. The concentration was ideal.” After receiving a General Secondary Teaching Credential and interviewing for a teaching position, a comment from Millard Sheets changed her course. “He insisted that I stay on at CGS to continue my study and complete an MFA, saying, ‘I don’t want any half-baked kids out there teaching art,’” recalls Longenecker. During the war years while her husband was stationed in the Pacific, Longenecker lived in Millard Sheets’ guesthouse, to n elegantly dressed woman stands between paint cans which he had added a ceramics studio with a kiln donated by and tools, directing colors and angles for new exhibition Mrs. Sheets’ mother.
