The seven-figure gift was initiated by brothers David C. Swain, Jr., Cita- del Class of 1980, and his wife Mary, as well as Dr. Christopher C. Swain, Citadel Class of 1981, and his wife Debora. The Swain family’s desire to help build a nursing program at The Citadel stems from both personal and profes- sional interests. Together, the Swain brothers founded the Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG) in Mauldin, South Carolina, in 2006 with a vision to elevate women’s health care by providing quality medical care to expectant mothers. More than a decade later, OBHG is the single largest dedicated OB/GYN hospitalist provider, partner- ing with more than 450 board certified physicians nationwide. Dr. Chris Swain, a veteran OB/GYN doctor himself, founded the company as the result of his passion for women’s health care and his strong commitment to seeing the industry elevated to provide improved safety and care. After graduating from The Citadel with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, he attended the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and completed his OB/GYN residency training at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburgh, Florida. He currently serves as OBHG’s Chief medical officer and resides on Isle of Palms, South Carolina, with Debbie and their two sons, one of whom is currently a sophomore in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets at The Cita- del. As co-founder and Chairman of the Board, David Swain brings more than 20 years of corporate experience to OBHG, where he oversees all operational aspects of the company to ensure the highest quality of care and service. Prior to joining OBHG, he served as president of two technology companies and served 10 years as a U.S. Air Force officer, implementing $5.5 billion life-cycle technology upgrades at bases worldwide. After graduating from The Citadel with a computer science degree, he earned a graduate degree in electrical engineering from the University of South Carolina. David and Mary also manage a vineyard in the upstate area of South Carolina, which is where they reside with their six children. Professionally, the Swain brothers know first-hand the critical value of skilled nurses in the labor and delivery room. However, their passion for the profession runs deeper on a personal level as well. The Swains have a long-standing history of nurses in the family, including Mary and Debbie, whose careers as registered nurses have inspired this generous gift. The Citadel and The Citadel Foundation are profoundly grateful to the Swain family for its generosity in establishing the Swain Department of Nursing even as they continue to support numerous other interests on campus. Their contributions, coupled with those of many other alumni and friends, will ensure the success of the $175 million Foundation for Leadership campaign, scheduled to conclude in 2018 in celebration of The Citadel’s 175th anniversary. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AN D MATHEMATICS FALL 2 0 1 6 VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 P A G E 3 Mission The mission of the Nursing Program is to educate and develop our students to become principled leaders in the health care environment and profession of nursing by incorporating the core values of The Citadel of honor, duty and respect into the learning experience. Vision To educate nurses who are prepared to be leaders in the healthcare environment. Undergraduate Degree offered: Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Evening Division Degree offered: Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Drs. Chris Sole, Sarah Imam and Dena Garner completed the SHINE vitamin D drink study this past spring. The creator of the product provided the SHINE drink to test vitamin D levels pre and 8 week intervention and post 8 week, with subjects drinking the product two times per day for the 8 weeks. They also tested some physical parameters but did not see any major differences with and without the product. They did see noticeable differences in vitamin D levels. Researchers hope to start working on a manuscript this fall. The maker of the drink has completed a deal with Whole Foods to market his product. The Department has received $337,000 for the first year in a multi-year contract through The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Health Exercise and Sport Science. Citadel Professor Dena Garner is collaborating with Dr. Paul Rapp and Dr. David Keyser, ‘81, at the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Maryland, on their traumatic brain injury research. Garner is performing tests and reliability assessments for test devices designated for the mild traumatic brain injury population, using cadets at The Citadel who are serving as the healthy control population. Lab testing for the Henry Jackson Grant P A G E 4 In April 2016, the Vascular Flora class (BIOL 314) conducted a service learning activity at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, SC. The Citadel Biology Department has been working with MCAS Beaufort for the last 10 years monitoring rare plant species on the base for the Department of Defense. On April 4th, 2016 cadets enrolled in the Vascular Flora class assisted the MCAS staff with the removal of loblolly pine sap- lings. These pines had invaded a wetland that hosts a population of the rare plant, pondberry (Lindera melissifolia). While controlled burns would normally prevent pines from invading the wetland during drought periods, controlled burns are not al- ways possible. The Marine Corps Air Station has to balance the need to manage the environmental resources with the needs to maintain their mission and provide safe conditions for nearby residents. Removal of the pines helps to restore the natural conditions of the wetland and should benefit the pondberry population over time. The Biology cadets were able to make a positive impact on the site while getting a firsthand lesson on how the Department of Defense acts as an environmen- tal steward. Dr. Joel Gramling, Interim Department Head for Biology, was recently awarded a recurring grant from the DoD and USMC to continue monitoring the pondberry population at MCAS Beaufort. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AN D MATHEMATICS FALL 2 0 1 6 VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 P A G E 5 The Department of Physics has, over the past year, installed new computers and audio visu- al projection equipment in approximately half of its five laboratory rooms. We are now in the process of upgrading the remaining labora- tories. In addition, the network within all these rooms has been rewired to provide high speed internet access for each student’s experiment station. With the October 2016 com- pletion of the installation of these comput- ers at the remaining stations, for the first time all physics laboratories will have new computers, wired internet access, uniform software suites, and instructional projec- tion equipment.

    THE RULE OF LAW ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Joseph P. Hoar Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2013 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Joseph P. Hoar conducted by George Gavrilis on March 13, 2012. This interview is part of the Rule of Law Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. VJD Session One Interviewee: Joseph P. Hoar Location: Washington, D.C. Interviewer: George Gavrilis Date: March 13, 2012 Q: This is George Gavrilis. It’s March 13, 2012. I’m here in Washington, D.C. with General Joseph P. Hoar for the Columbia University Oral History Project on the Rule of Law. Thank you for doing it this morning. Thank you for making yourself available for the whole day. We’re hoping to do two sessions and talk about a number of things. In a preliminary conversation we had over the phone—and before I hit the record button—we were talking about a number of things, including your—I suppose a good way of putting it is many hats—the many hats you wore in your career. You’ve been in the military. You’ve been stationed a lot of places around the world. You’ve worked in the private sector. You’ve worked with think tanks, and you’ve also been very outspoken in your views on a number of issues that the Rule of Law Project intersects with.

African Americans perceived racial issues—race relations, prejudice, and discrimination—in Vietnam through a lens heavily influenced by their earlier experiences in the United States. Issues related to race and race relations helped to define the African American experience in the United States, and these same issues defined the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam. Race relations in combat were typified by cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a sense of brotherhood. These positive relations were largely a reflection of the fact that black and white soldiers in combat were heavily dependent on one another. Despite these positive interactions with whites, African Americans did not view the armed forces as an institution free of racial prejudice.

SuDoc# S 1.3/5: 7/32 “Most dramatically, our personal, community, and national security depend upon our policies on terrorism at home and abroad. We cannot advance the common good at home without advancing the common good around the world. We cannot reduce the threats to our people without reducing the threats to the world beyond our borders. That’s why the fight against terrorism must be both a national priority and a national security priority. We have pursued a concerted national and international strategy against terrorism on three fronts: first, beyond our borders, by working more closely than ever with our friends and allies; second, here at home, by giving law enforcement the most powerful counterterrorism tools available; and, third, in our airports and airplanes by increasing aviation security.” Online http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/briefing/dispatch/1996/html/Dispatchv7no32.html ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN, OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL, FISCAL YEAR 2003.
