    BC Magazine Fall 2008 REV 12/5/08 5:08 PM Page FC1 Fall 2008 BC Magazine Fall 2008 REV 12/5/08 5:08 PM Page FC2 We knew we would have much to celebrate when we began to plan this issue about the performing arts at Brooklyn College. After all, the Theater Department and the Conservatory of Music have historically attracted celebrated artists to join their faculty and, in a city as rich in performing arts schools as New York City is, extremely talented students consistently seek us out, knowing they will be taught by a stellar faculty and given unique guidance for their careers. Known in full throughout the theater and music world, where our alumni and faculty can be found in every performance venue—from backstage to the footlights; from costumers to voice coaches; from theater administrators to talent agents—our success might be a surprise to those beyond these realms. Let this issue, then, serve to broadcast one of the College’s many strengths. You’ll read about a major artist who recently joined our faculty—the renowned concert pianist, Ursula Oppens; about our talented young alumni making their mark in theater—including Sarah Benson, the new artistic director of the celebrated Off-Broadway Soho Repertory Theater and her staging of the controversial play Blasted; and about the plans for a new performing arts center on campus that will house the departments and serve as a beacon of the arts to the borough and beyond. There are other terrific stories as well in this issue—including the late-breaking news that Salim Washington, associate professor of music, has received a Fulbright Fellowship to study jazz in South Africa.

  • John Parascandola (1941–
    John Parascandola (1941– John Parascandola was born in New York City on July 14, 1941. He received a B.S in chemistry from Brooklyn College in 1963 and then went to the University of Wisconsin, where he earned his Ph.D. in History of Science in 1968 for his thesis on “Lawrence J. Henderson and the Concept of Organized Systems.” After a postdoctoral year at Harvard University, Parascandola returned to the University of Wisconsin as assistant professor of History of Science and History of Pharmacy, with subsequent appointments to associate professor (1973) and professor (1980). He served the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy as director from 1973 to 1981 and as chair of its Council from 1989 to 2005. Parascandola was appointed Chief of the History of Medicine Division (HMD) of the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland in 1983 and held that position until 1992. During his tenure at HMD, Parascandola significantly increased the application of computers and other technologies to the library’s historical collections, was notably active in promoting the division’s services to a wide variety of audiences, and developed a number of new scholarly programs. In 1992 he became the first incumbent of the position of Public Health Service Historian. His contributions as a Federal employee were recognized through such honors as the National Institute of Health Merit Award (1988), the Surgeon General’s Exemplary Service Award (1989 and 1996), and the Assistant Secretary for Health’s Superior Service Award (1999). Parascandola's research interests have focused on the history of modern pharmaceutical and biomedical science, especially pharmacology and drug therapy, and, more recently, on the history of the U.
