Emilie and I sincerely hope that you will spend many delight• ful evenings enjoying "the sounds of summer" at Meadow Brook this year. Here musical artistry combines with nature to create a rare cultural experience which the university and community together can share with great pride. Oakland University is also proud of the excellence and relevance of its educational programs. Founded in a strong liberal arts tradition, OU is dedicated to providing its students with solid career preparation as well as a strong sense of personal ethics, socio• cultural enrichment, and sustained inquiry as a way of life. We now refer to the dimensions of an Oakland University education as "the Oakland Experience," the essence of which we have tried to capture on the following pages. This institution will continue to strive toward insuring its place as a vital resource for the community, state, and nation. We appreciate your support and participation in our efforts. Sincerely, Joseph E. Champagne President 17 T H E o A K L A N o 18 E x p E R I E N c E THE INTELLECT Motivating students to reach theirfull intellectual capacity through high aca• demic standards and unique curricular opportunities. Nurturing an environment of intellectual curiosity and resourcefulness involves more than simply holding classes, grading papers, developing exams, and awarding degrees. Oak• land University is committed to providing a full range of academic options and support services for its students. All of the university's major academic units ... the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Economics and Management, School of Engineering, School of Human and Educational Services, School of Nursing, School of Performing Arts, and Center for Health Sciences . encourage individual pursuit of knowledge and help stu• dents extend their university education into career opportunities, professional training, or advanced study. 19 T H E o A K L A N o 20 E x p E R I E N c E THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN Expanding the learning environment to include not only academic service, but personal and social enrichment as well. Extracurricular activities at Oakland Uni• versity reflect the diverse interests of its students as well as its faculty and staff. While many programs are permanent features of Oakland's campus life, the institution fosters an environ• ment which encourages the growth of new ideas and efforts. Extracurricular activities are sup• ported as an integral part of the university. Opportunities range from student publications, a student operated radio station, and campus• wide events and celebrations to student performing arts groups, professional student affiliations, and political as well as service organizations. 21 T H E o A K L A N D 22 E x p E R I E N c E THE BODY Providing a university experience that includes an opportunity for physical as well as mental development. Oakland University's well balanced athletic program offers something for most every inter• est and caliber of ability. The university's 1500• acre campus and fine athletic facilities lend themselves readily to any number of planned as well as spontaneous recreational activities. In intercollegiate athletic competition teams participate in Division II of the National Col• legiate Athletic Association. University athletes have successfully competed in national post• season tournaments in soccer, swimming, tennis, wrestling, basketball, golf, and cross country. In addition the intramural athletic program at the university involves thousands of students each year. Intramural sports have included organized competition in tennis, touch football, basketball, volleyball, racquetball, and other activities of particular interest to students. While university athletic programs are de• signed primarily for students, many exist for the benefit of the community. A well-respected health maintenance and physical fitness pro• gram is available to area adults. Summer sports camps in swimming, golf, basketball, and soccer offer recreation for area youngsters. Most notable, perhaps, is the university's challenging, 18-hole Katke-Cousins Golf Course which is open for membership to community residents. 23 THE OAKLAND EXPERIENCE ALUMNI The Oakland experience does not end at graduation. The curiosity, ingenuity, and criti• cal thinking fostered as part of education at Oakland University enrich the lives of grad• uates as well as the communities in which they work and live. Alumni are lifelong members of this univer• sity community. Together with faculty, staff, and current students they are responsible for supporting and sustaining Oakland's mission. The Oakland University Alumni Association accepts this responsibility and is committed, through its Annual Alumni Fund Drive, to providing the added material resources to ensure that future students will have the opportunity to share in the Oakland experience. 24 Special Underwriting Acknowledgentent The Meadow Brook Music Festival gratefully acknowledges generous support from these Corporations.

Not even that prestigious appointment, however, has dimin• ished his well-known candor and irrevent wit, the target of which is often himself and his own musical image. "Conductors?" he mused recently, when reminded that he began his musical career as a violinist. "Originally I tried to avoid them. But when I jOined a symphony or• chestra there was no way of doing that. You didn't necessarily have to look at them, but you could not get around the fact that they were actually there. I had no idea, I must say, that I would become one of them ... one of those offensive people who stand up in front and impose their will on the other musicians." Onlya conductor with

  • Shall We Dance? Ten Years After Taking Over the American Dance Theater, Judith Jamison -- Alvin Ailey's Astonishing Muse -- Celebrates with a Kennedy Center Honor
    Shall We Dance? Ten years after taking over the American Dance Theater, Judith Jamison -- Alvin Ailey's astonishing muse -- celebrates with a Kennedy Center Honor. By Joanne Kaufman Published Dec 27, 1999 For Judith Jamison, sitting is an aerobic activity. The former star -- and muse -- of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater slices her hands through the air, wiggles them alongside her head to illustrate a point, and waves them across her body with tsunami-like force. Perched on a platform chair in her office, Jamison, who's been the company's artistic director since Ailey's death in 1989, suddenly scooches around to point out her artificial hip ("Titanium," she clarifies) and the place in her thighs where surgeons implanted steel some years back. "I'm bionic," she says, now leaning forward, a characteristically warm smile making the long journey east to west across her broad, expressive face. Because the demands on her time and attention, not to mention her sound bites, are great -- and have gotten greater since she was named a recipient of this year's Kennedy Center Honors (the ceremony will be broadcast December 29 at 9 p.m. on Channel 2) -- Jamison tends to hop on board a conversation in the middle. "I'm the caretaker of spirit," she says by way of introduction. "I'm responsible for people who look like this" (she hauls out a cache of eight-by-ten glossies of company members) "and who can dance. That's Dwana Smallwood. And this is Bahiyah Sayyed. That's me directing. I just have gorgeous, gorgeous people.
