To watch his last lecture, visit bit.ly/foster-lecture . Never one to shy away from a fashion statement, Stan Foster 82MPH swept into the Rollins Auditorium wearing a golden cap and ceremonial African robe shot through with gold threads worthy of the occasion. The global health professor worked his way through the room, shaking hands with the many friends who gathered at Rollins in April for his last lecture, marking his retirement at age 80. Here were many of the giants of public health with whom Foster had worked on smallpox eradication in Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Somalia, along with students, past and present, whom he had inspired. On the front row was Dorothy "Dottie" Foster, Stan's wife and collaborator of 57 years. Theirs has been a life of service, answering needs in communities in partnership with others. Their commitment was obvious as Foster took his audience on a PowerPoint tour of his 50-year career in public health. But those who heard his last lecture already knew that his impact reached far beyond the borders of the school. Lagos, Nigeria, 1966-1970. When Foster was finishing a residency in pulmonary diseases at the University of California, San Francisco, a call came from the CDC. Would Foster like to go to Africa and get rid of smallpox? And could he decide by tomorrow? Foster had joined the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) at the CDC in 1962 and completed a two-year assignment that took him to Arizona to work with the Indian Health Service on trachoma, which affected 25% of schoolchildren. He investigated other infectious diseases, including a severe outbreak of diarrhea affecting all age groups in the Truk Islands in the South Pacific. Twelve years later, the Truk epidemic was identified as rotavirus. The Nigeria assignment was tailor-made for Foster. By 1966, the smallpox burden had reached 20 million cases and 3 million deaths worldwide. But hope grew, thanks to an increased supply of a new freeze-dried heat stable vaccine, the introduction of bifurcated needles, and use of jet injectors. On one memorable day, Foster and his colleagues vaccinated 14,000 people who queued in four lines. Surveillance and containment replaced mass vaccination as the African and global smallpox eradication strategy. As the USAID CDC team leader for smallpox eradication and measles control in Nigeria, Foster was often out in the field, where 65 Nigerian teams supported by eight CDC colleagues were hard at work. The Foster home in Lagos served as a respite for exhausted team members. "Our lives were smallpox," remembers Dottie Foster. "Every single meal, we talked smallpox. We even had smallpox scabs in the refrigerator, waiting to be transferred back to the CDC." They also immersed themselves in the fabric of their community. "Dad always has believed in the power of individuals and wanted us to be connected with the community," says his son, Andrew, now director of the Population Studies and Training Center at Brown University. Dottie, for example, jumped in to help a local midwife support a displaced community. She managed to find a local supplier for powdered milk for the children, convince a local chief to donate land for a nursery school, apply for a grant from USAID for building materials, and recruit young people from Crossroads Africa (a forerunner of the Peace Corps) to build the school. Along with successes came some scary moments. A late-night phone call from the wife of a Nigerian health official brought Stan quickly to her husband's aid. He found his friend bleeding profusely from a machete cut across the neck, and although he tried to save him, the injury was too severe. The next day, armed policemen showed up at the Foster house to arrest Stan for the murder. Six hours of a terrifying standoff passed before the American Embassy was able to intervene. For several years, Foster was persona non grata in Nigeria. Dhaka, Bangladesh, 1972-1976. His next assignment to Bangladesh brought a new set of challenges. Civil war had destroyed the nation's infrastructure. Only 10% of 80,000 smallpox cases were reported in 1972. Hindus and Muslims believed that the pox was sacred. Gradually, the smallpox team of Bangladeshi and WHO staff expanded, though they faced increased transmission during the dry and wet seasons. Political unrest challenged program operations. When fighting broke out in the Fosters' neighborhood, Dottie gathered their children to "play house" in a closet to keep them safe and unafraid. Among those dispatched by the CDC for field work in Bangladesh was Jeffrey Koplan, who lived with the Fosters for three months. (Koplan served as director of the CDC from 1998 to 2002 and today is vice president of global health at Emory.) He learned Bengali with Dottie Foster at the kitchen table, and from Stan Foster, he gained the practical skills that he would use the rest of his life. Koplan also saw firsthand how to lead. "Stan Foster has zero ego and is selfless in what he does," he says. Within two years, the eradication team had reduced the number of infected villages to 89. Foster predicted eradication by the end of 1974, but then came the worst floods in Bangladeshi history. By the next spring, smallpox had infected 1,410 villages. As used in India, Foster introduced a reward for reporting a new smallpox case. Six months later, only 35% of the public knew about the reward. Only then did his team discover their mistake. Health workers were keeping the reward quiet to keep the public from claiming the money. Foster had a fix for that: he doubled the reward to pay both the health worker and the public. Within five months, 80% of 60 million Bangladeshis knew about the reward. That, coupled with eradication teams who searched 1,200 houses every six days, turned back transmission of the disease. On November 14, 1975, WHO announced the eradication of variola major, the severe form of smallpox. But then came the report of another case. Three-year-old Rahima Banu, found under a burlap sack and covered with painful pox, was vaccinated in 1975. Hers marked the last case of variola major in the world, and luckily she survived. Atlanta, 1994-2013. Stan Foster entered the MPH program at Emory in 1976, but it took him six years to finish his degree. He kept getting called back to the Middle East and to Africa, where he led CDC efforts to combat childhood communicable diseases in 13 countries. In 1994, Foster returned to the RSPH to put down roots as a faculty member. He since has shared three decades of field experience with students, whom he prefers to call "learners." His classes have been popular. He regularly showed up dressed in character to deliver a lecture. His stories are legend. But behind those entertaining stories were valuable lessons. "Stan's stories get people thinking," says Aisha Stewart 13MPH. Like dozens of other students, Stewart decided to attend the RSPH because of Foster's recruiting. When she attended Visit Emory, the annual spring event for prospective students, he took out an index card from a stack that he had made that contained excerpts from her CV and personal statement. "I was astonished at the personal attention," Stewart says. "I didn't find that anywhere else, so I decided to come to Rollins." Given his stories, openness, and availability, Foster became a favorite teacher, receiving the Public Health Professor of the Year award from the RSPH in 1996 and the Emory Williams Teaching Award from the university in 2010. Of the courses that he has taught, Foster's favorite is "Strategies," which the students dubbed "Tragedies." The class worked in small groups, each led by a teaching assistant, to take on a different health issue in Ethiopia drawn from 10 data sets. On topics ranging from family planning to sanitation, each learner developed a plan and budget to address the challenge. Another hallmark Foster class is "Community Transformations," which he will continue to coteach for learners from Emory and the refugee community in Clarkston, Georgia. The goal of the course—to strengthen communities to identify and solve their own problems—emphasizes Foster's trademark style of working in partnership with communities. "He hates the idea of top down," says Micah Hahn 08MPH, who participated in the class. "He taught us that we are not here to tell anyone what to do." Sautee, Georgia, the present. Among those lined up to make a comment at the end of Foster's last lecture was the man who sat beside him on the first day of their EIS class in 1962. William Foege, who would go on to lead the worldwide smallpox eradication campaign, knows the Fosters well. "Stan and Dottie epitomize the phrase from the book Cutting for Stone ," Foege said. "Home is not where you are from. It is where you are needed." Home these days for the Fosters is a cabin in Sautee, Georgia, that overlooks a portion of the Appalachian Trail. Their presence here continues to draw public health stewards, colleagues, students, and fellows from around the world to enjoy the Foster hospitality. Just weeks after retiring from the RSPH, Stan and Dottie returned to the Guatemalan village where she was born, as they have done for dozens of years, to conduct training and workshops with the native Mam women. The collaboration has spawned more than 300 microfinance projects. The Fosters' impact has been far and wide, says Jean Roy, whom Stan mentored at CDC. "He's a giant in public health. I believe that along with D.A. Henderson and Bill Foege, he's one of the top three epidemiologists ever." One of the biggest measures of Foster's career is that smallpox is eradicated from the earth. And there are Foster's learners, many of whom stay in regular touch. As Rebecca Vander Meulen 03MPH writes from Mozambique, "Stan helps people dream about what could be, and challenges them to make it happen." THE STAN AND DOTTIE FOSTER FUND. The Fosters have created the Stan and Dottie Foster Fund for learners who are engaged in global field experiences. Please join the Fosters in helping students conduct research and gain practical experience in communities around the world. Emory Seasons: Entertaining Atlanta Style by Emory University Woman' Club. Laura Bennett Style Media. Entrepreneurs Alumni Profiles Career. Natalia Castillo 85C is a visionary whose medium is clothes, and women all over the world covet the chic resort wear made famous by her Escapada Living brand. With a vivid color palette and graphic prints that evoke sunny beaches and tropical isles, Escapada’s wholesale, retail and ecommerce sales will swell to over $14 million in 2016. “More and more women are discovering Escapada,” she says. With more than 1,500 retail contracts including the Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton Hotels, Waldorf Astoria plus retail locations in Tahiti, Bermuda, and other exotic islands, women everywhere embrace the award-winning Escapada style. Castillo’s global team of 128 employees, sales representatives, and manufacturing staff helped generate $10 million this year. “We’re hoping to hit $100 million in sales within ten years,” Castillo says. Among its multiple awards, Escapada Living was named a 2014 and 2015 Inc 500/5000 Fast Growing Company. Today, Castillo continues to stretch her design talents as she grows her brand. While an Emory biology student, she never could have imagined the professional journey that positioned her to run a multi-million dollar fashion empire. Even so, she reflects, “I always felt something bigger and better waited out there for me.” Designing a Resort Wear Brand. Big growth requires constant innovation. “My design inspiration is an ongoing process that comes from beach colors, or a pattern, or lines in architecture. Our creative team is always keeping an eye out. We brainstorm ideas, and pick a theme and print direction for the line,” she explains. After shared design critique, “We might change the lines, the color, the scale, the element placements.” Escapada clothes are never boring, with lively, patterned designs in brilliant hues of coral, yellow, aqua, turquoise, emerald, and peach, among others. The line is intended for people of all ages. Castillo points out, “We design classic, clean-lined garments and we are careful to focus on styles specific to certain age groups. The garments are made of 100 percent rayon in order to be soft, breathable, and loose-fitting.” She adds, “Wearing Escapada is always fun.” Behind the garments is a sophisticated manufacturing process in which the Escapada-owned factory sources everything, from the thread and buttons to the tag in the back. “Because we own our own factory we have very low costs, allowing us to keep the prices reasonable while still producing very high quality clothing,” Castillo notes. African Inspiration with a Pop. In fashion, future seasons launch early. This year’s fall line is ready to hit the shelves. Inspired by Castillo’s latest travels to Africa, the line features animal prints incorporated into the classic Escapada look. With four new lines each year, Castillo is always thinking ahead. “Fall fashion lines often switch to dark, muted tones for the season, but we like bright colors offset with black and other dark accents. The fun and the pop are still there.” Castillo’s dedication to style, comfort, and quality is one of the things that has put Escapada at the forefront of resort wear fashion. “A woman has to feel comfortable and look good for fashion to succeed.” Experience Gained, Lessons Learned. Castillo graduated in 1985 from Emory University with a degree in biology, but knew the subject would never fuel her creative passion. Undecided on her future, she entered the Macy’s Atlanta executive training program as a sales manager. “At the time, retail was explosive, and I loved the feeling of running a business. Each department was given lots of freedom and room to grow the business, which made for an amazing work environment.” But after moving up the ranks for 10 years, Castillo started to think bigger. A chance encounter with a former vendor prompted her to confess her desire to open her own business. “He said instantly that anything I did he would want to invest in. So that Monday I put in my two weeks.” As fate would have it, the pair joined forces in a successful resort wear line for several years. “I learned everything I needed to know about the manufacturing side of the industry. But I realized that I didn’t need a partner.” Paradiso, her first independent resort wear line, succeeded until Castillo recognized the signs of the inflated economy and correctly predicted a crash. She sold the business at precisely the right time. Life took her to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina where she began Escapada Living – an accumulation of her wisdom, experience, creativity and considerable design talent. With a cramped home office that housed eight employees, Castillo made sacrifices to be successful. As a home-based entrepreneur, she admits, “There was no separation between work and personal life. I just couldn’t get away from it.” Eventually she relocated Escapada’s headquarters to a nearby office and warehouse space, where it remains today. Bootstrapping expenses during expansion “saved us money on overhead and moving costs. Once we moved to our Mount Pleasant location we stayed there.” Natalia Castillo went from summer job to successful business woman in the span of 15 years. That success arose from hard work, experience, and a healthy dose of determination. “I knew I could always get a job. I saw so many people who were miserable in their jobs but stayed because of the money, and who wanted to start their own businesses but were worried it would fail. I never had that fear.” Castillo offers this advice to every young designer or entrepreneur. “Have confidence in yourself and your work. Follow your gut and absolutely take risks.” She says, “I never really felt like I risked a lot. With every decision I made it never felt like the stakes were too high, because I knew I could always find a job. I always knew I could do anything and succeed at anything.” Thomaskutty Resigns After 14 Years as Women’s Basketball Head Coach. Emory women’s basketball Head Coach Christy Thomaskutty has resigned, she announced Oct. 5. Thomaskutty led the Eagles to a 187-166 overall record during her 14-year tenure. She posted record seasons for wins in 2012-2013, consecutive wins in 2013-2014 (14 in a row) and Emory’s highest-ever Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) ranking at No. 7 for the 2013-14 season. Thomaskutty resigned as a result of health issues, according to an Oct. 5 Emory Athletics press release. She told Emory Athletics that she is “fine and doing well,” but that health issues “have left [her] without the energy needed to coach these young women at the level which they deserve.” Assistant Coach Misha Jackson (13C) replaced Thomaskutty as interim head coach for the 2017-2018 season. Jackson played for the Eagles from 2011-2013 and was promoted from volunteer assistant to full-time assistant coach for the 2013-2014 season. “I can’t think of a more deserving person than [Jackson] to take over the coaching duties and to represent Emory University,” Thomaskutty said. Jackson, an Atlanta native, was selected for the first WBCA “Thirty Under 30” list of upcoming women’s basketball coaches in 2016. Nevertheless, replacing Thomaskutty is no small task. Jackson said it was a “surprise” and that she is “sad to see her go.” Thomaskutty was a “huge part of the program,” according to Jackson. “At first it was a little nerve-wracking, but I was lucky to learn under Coach Thomaskutty,” Jackson said of her new position. Junior center Ashley Oldshue, who started all 25 games last season, said that Thomaskutty’s departure was “shocking because [she knew] how dedicated [Thomaskutty] was to the program.” Oldshue believes the coaching change is a good one, citing her close relationship with Jackson, who was previously her position coach. Jackson faces a season without any senior players, but Oldshue said, “I feel really good; it’s weird not to have seniors, but the sophomores are stepping up.” Emory women’s basketball begins their season at home against the Rhodes College (Tenn.) Lynx Nov. 15. Lullwater House: Home to Emory traditions and the President. Built in 1926, the Lullwater House first provided residence to Walter T. Candler, the son of Asa Griggs Candler who founded The Coca-Cola Company. Candler used the Lullwater land to farm and maintain livestock. For the last 57 years that Emory has owned the house and while enduring the tremendous growth of the University, the estate has been called home by Emory’s presidential families. Next year, in the wake of President Wagner’s departure, a new, sixth presidential family will move in. But while the house itself has long been steeped in the University’s history, each presidential family is granted the freedom to change the rooms according to their own style. “It will be fascinating to see what the next president will do. It’s interesting living in a house that is yours, but it isn’t yours ,” Mrs. Wagner said. “As the President always says, ‘It’s Emory’s house, but it’s our home.’” Tucked away within 154 acres of greenery and the trails of Lullwater Preserve, Lullwater House combines remnants of the old and new, though it bears little semblance to the Southern antebellum houses of its time and place. Architecturally, the home evokes the memory of a 16th century English country estate with an exterior of quarried stone and a Vermont slate roof. Upon entrance into the foyer, a black-and-white checkered tile floor is met with a grandfather clock and an ornate spiral staircase. Above the staircase hangs a colorful silk batik that was commissioned for President Wagner’s inauguration — an extraterrestrial, aerial view of the Lullwater estate in all four seasons, created by artist Mary Edna Fraser. Since moving to Atlanta in 2004, the Wagners have been committed to finding balance within the home — adding their own comfortable flair by integrating personal possessions, yet still preserving its history as a whole. “The President and I grew up very simply, and we feel that we always want people to feel very comfortable here,” Mrs. Wagner said.“I wanted it to look like a presidential home, but I wanted people to be able to feel that they could sit down on the furniture.” The living room offers the cozy comfort she’d hoped for; a long space with oak walls, chestnut flooring and bookshelves equipped with lights, glass and mirrors that generates more light. On the window at the alcove, the spirit of Emory infiltrates from the stained glass rendering of the University’s seal on the window, honoring the home’s purpose. For the Wagners, Lullwater House has served as both a place of rest and entertainment, where they are able to display their generous hospitality toward the Emory community. Over time, they have accrued many memories from the traditions and happenings at the house. While some events held at the house are celebratory and casual, such as a dessert party for any Emory sports team that wins the Division III national championship, others are more formal, such as honorary degree receptions and dinners for trustees. Many aspects of the house are aimed at easing the entertainment process: the circular shape of the dining room table is noted to facilitate conversation, and in 2005 there was an expansion to both the Great Room and the kitchen to better suit the entertainment of large groups. “Hospitality and making people feel wanted is really important to both of us. It’s funny what you get from your childhood but my parents entertained a lot at their home. It’s who we are,” Mrs. Wagner said. Guests of Lullwater House have included everyone from former President Jimmy Carter and the Dalai Lama, to campus-based student organizations, though its most frequent visitors are University donors. At the confluence of a 1925 home and a 2015 lifestyle are inevitable maintenance issues, particularly water intrusion, which the Wagners have addressed since their arrival. “One of things that I feel like I have done here at Emory is make sure the house is in its best shape,” President Wagner said. “It’s all part of the journey. Some of my closest friends are the facilities men and women who help out here day in and day out.” Although the Wagners are leaving the Lullwater estate behind, the memories of the time they spent in the home have had a profound impact on their lives. “My favorite memories are two-fold: one would be to able to spend time here with my family,” President Wagner said.”And the second would be all the wonderful entertainment we’ve done here.” While Mrs. Wagner will miss the beauty of Lullwater, she says that it’s the people that she will miss the most. “Over 12 years, you get to know people really well. Even if you only see them two or three times a year, you start developing a relationship with them. When you live here, Emory is part of the family, it’s everything. Every waking and sleeping minute, you are Emory,” Mrs. Wagner said. “And we’ve enjoyed every minute of it.” Emory University - Girls Lacrosse Overnight & Day Camp.
