(972) 721-5266 THE SEAL 3 The Seal The seal of the University of Dallas is emblematic of the ideals to which the University is dedicated . It is likewise reminiscent of the deposit of faith of the Roman Catholic Church and of the traditions of two teaching communities within the Church . The decorative outer circle indicates the date the University was chartered and the motto, "Veritatem, Justitiam Diligite ." The quotation "Love Ye Truth and Justice," a conflation of Zechariah 8.8 and 8.19, expresses the biblical message that truth and justice are the necessary conditions for peace, prosperity, and happiness . This wise instruction has also been discovered by reason and confirmed by history. This founding conviction of the University of Dallas continues to inform all that UD aspires to do . Enclosed within the blue band which bears the motto, in an octagonal field of green, are several emblems associated with the traditions of the University . The central figure of the triquetra interwoven with the triangle is a double symbol of the Holy Trinity to Whom the University is dedicated . The circle is a symbol of eternity and of the unity of the Godhead . The fleur-de-lis, at once an ancient symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of France, recalls the direct and indirect French origins of the two teaching orders which cooperated initially with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth in establishing the University of Dallas . The Cistercian Order originated in France in the Eleventh Century; the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur was founded in Belgium in 1819 by a Cistercian Monk . A crusader’s shield, emblematic of faith, stands within the green field on either side of the central device . The shield on the left contains a star, a traditional emblem of Mary, as well as the chosen emblem of Texas, the Lone Star State . The shield on the right presents the torch of liberty and learning . The branches of live oak and olive trees, taken from the Seal of Texas, make further reference to the State . The Trinity River, on which the University is located, is represented by the he- raldic device of the wavy lines centered beneath the emblem of the Blessed Trinity . The Official Seal, in all of its symbolic color, hangs in the J.M. Haggar, Sr., University Center foyer . The exquisite mosaic, completed by art alumnus Xavier Zamarripa, was commissioned by the Class of 2002. 4 UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS Mission The University of Dallas is dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom, of truth, and of virtue as the proper and primary ends of education . The University seeks to educate its students so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues, prepare themselves for life and work in a problematic and changing world, and become leaders able to act responsibly for their own good and for the good of their family, community, country, and church . The University understands human nature to be spiritual and physical, rational and free . It is guided by principles of learning that acknowledge transcendent standards of truth and excellence that are themselves the object of search in an education . The University is especially dedicated to the pursuit of liberal education in both its undergraduate and graduate programs . In its liberal arts programs the University is committed to the recovery and renewal of the Western heritage of liberal educa- tion . The University is equally committed to providing professional programs at the graduate level . Its professional programs, in a common spirit with the University’s liberal arts programs, are dedicated to reflecting critically upon the ends governing one’s own profession, to fostering principled, moral judgment, and to providing the knowledge and skills requisite for professional excellence . Whether professional or liberal, the University is “convinced of the priority of the ethical over the technical, of the primacy of persons over things, of the superiority of the spirit over matter ”1. The University seeks to offer those graduate and undergraduate programs that will address important needs of society, and that can be offered in a manner consistent with the University’s primary institutional commitments . The University as a whole is shaped by the long tradition of Catholic learning and acknowledges its commitment to the Catholic Church and its teaching . The University is dedicated to the recovery of the Christian intellectual tradition, and to the renewal of Catholic theology in fidelity to the Church and in constructive dialogue with the modern world . It seeks to maintain the dialogue of faith and reason in its curriculum and programs without violating the proper autonomy of each of the arts and sciences . The University is open to faculty and students of all denominations, and it supports their academic and religious freedom . It thus seeks to provide an academic and collegial community which will help students acquire a mature un- derstanding of their faith, develop their spiritual lives, and prepare themselves for their calling as men and women of faith in the world . THE CONSTANTIN COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS The Constantin College of Liberal Arts seeks to educate students of seriousness, intelligence, and spirit in accordance with the fundamental mission of the University of Dallas—so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues which will prepare them for life and work in a changing and problematic world, achieve a mature understanding of their faith, and become men and women who act responsibly for their own good and the good of their family, community, country, and church . The specific mission of the Constantin College is to provide undergraduate education through baccalaureate degree programs which include a substantial and coherent core curriculum common to all undergraduates, and major studies in the humanities and sciences proper to liberal learning . The core curriculum emphasizes the study of the great deeds and works of Western civilization, both ancient and modern . The majors are built upon the core and invite students to disciplined inquiry into fundamental aspects of being and of our relation to God, to nature, and to fel- MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS 5 low human beings . The curriculum as a whole seeks to enable students to achieve the knowledge of nature and the understanding of the human condition necessary for them to comprehend the fundamental character of the world in which they are called to live and work . The College also offers programs through which students may take a respon- sible part in the rich and varied life of the campus and the surrounding community . The undergraduate programs as a whole provide a basis for students to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life’s work whether through immediate career entry or through further education in graduate and professional schools . THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS The College of Business is a professional school whose primary purpose is to prepare its students to become competent and responsible managers who are principled and moral leaders . To accomplish this purpose, we select and retain a diverse and talented faculty and staff . We encourage our faculty to engage in real world practices that support their teaching and research agendas . Our faculty emphasize teaching and learning and engage in basic, applied, and pedagogical research . The mission of the College’s undergraduate business programs is to build a foundation for students’ life-long development of the intellectual, moral, and profes- sional capacity necessary to lead profit and not-for-profit organizations effectively. Accordingly, the College’s programs shall foster an environment where students can learn the fundamentals of business in the context of becoming ethical and effective decision-makers . Appropriate to a liberal education, the College’s programs strive to be innovative in their course offerings to provide opportunity for intensive study . Its undergraduate programs stand united with the Constantin undergraduate college in the shared mission to prepare students for a meaningful and fulfilling life’s work, whether through immediate career entry or through further education in graduate and professional schools . The Graduate School of Management (GSM) is a professional school that strives to endow its graduates with the skills and practical wisdom essential to the success- ful practice of management . Serving a domestic and international community of MBA and MS students at different stages of their careers, GSM endeavors to help its students accomplish their professional objectives by providing high-quality, practice- oriented, convenient management education .

Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time.

And experience tells us that there are no shortcuts when it comes to making a stick. There is, however a very good short- cut when choosing one. The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store.

  • The Communication of Values, Beliefs, and Norms in Live Animal Interpretive Experiences: a Comparative Case Study
    THE COMMUNICATION OF VALUES, BELIEFS, AND NORMS IN LIVE ANIMAL INTERPRETIVE EXPERIENCES: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY Susan Charlotte Caplow A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Pamela Jagger Lisa Campbell Charlotte Clark Elizabeth Dickinson Paul Leslie Peter White © 2014 Susan Charlotte Caplow ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Caplow: The communication of values, beliefs, and norms in live animal interpretive experiences: a comparative case study (Under the direction of Pamela Jagger) Environmental education (EE) is one of the most important tools available to help promote pro-environmental behavior. However, encouraging pro-environmental behavior requires more than knowledge dissemination alone; EE programs frequently contain messages intended to cultivate environmental values, beliefs, and behavioral norms because these can facilitate the uptake of pro-environmental behavior. In particular, Live Animal Interpretive Experiences (LAIEs) can help encourage these types of shifts because emotional connections with animals can expand one’s sense of moral obligation to include caring for animals and the environment. My dissertation investigates three questions about LAIEs: 1) How does the institutional context frame messages on values, beliefs, and norms, and how do educators articulate them during LAIEs? 2) What values, beliefs, and norms do participants bring to the LAIE? 3) How do learners interpret LAIEs, and what are their post-program behavioral intentions? I compare LAIEs at three facilities with different institutional values, which is a novel contribution to the field that elucidates the relationship between institutional mission and the education program design, delivery, and interpretation.

  • Interview with the Goo Goo Dolls Front Man, John Rzeznik
    By Helen Marketti Interview with The Goo Goo Dolls front man, John Rzeznik On Thursday, August 22, The Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty will be at Blossom Music Center. This will be the fi rst time the two bands have ever toured together. John Rzeznik took a few moments to talk about The Goo Goo Dolls new album, current tour and the longevity of the band. “It’s been a long time since we played at Blossom,” said John. “It’s going to be great to play there again. I think the last time we were there we opened for the band, 10,000 Maniacs.” It may have been awhile since the Goo Goo Dolls have played at Blossom but their popularity has soared with a career that is nearing the thirty-year mark. “At fi rst when we started out, it was nothing I took seriously or something I did full time,” said John. “It was 1986 when we got together. We were more like hobbyists then. We had a little Indie record put out then we would be on the road for a couple months, come back home and return to our day jobs. It wasn’t until ‘95 when things really took off for us when our album, A Boy Named Goo came out and our single “Name” became a hit. I guess that is when you could say we became a professional enterprise and it all started happening. We may have never been the biggest band but we have always made a living, were able to have airtime on the radio and tour.” “When I was a kid we used to listen to AM Radio when it played music.

  • Medical Tourism: Treatments, Markets and Health System Implications: a Scoping Review
    Medical Tourism: Treatments, Markets and Health System Implications: A scoping review Neil Lunt, Richard Smith, Mark Exworthy, Stephen T. Green, Daniel Horsfall and Russell Mannion 1University of York 2London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine 3Royal Holloway University of London 4Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust 5University of Birmingham The opinions expressed and arguments employed here are the responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the OECD. Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs SUMMARY 1. The global growth in the flow of patients and health professionals as well as medical technology, capital funding and regulatory regimes across national borders has given rise to new patterns of consumption and production of healthcare services over recent decades. A significant new element of a growing trade in healthcare has involved the movement of patients across borders in the pursuit of medical treatment and health; a phenomenon commonly termed ‗medical tourism‘. Medical tourism occurs when consumers elect to travel across international borders with the intention of receiving some form of medical treatment. This treatment may span the full range of medical services, but most commonly includes dental care, cosmetic surgery, elective surgery, and fertility treatment. There has been a shift towards patients from richer, more developed nations travelling to less developed countries to access health services, largely driven by the low-cost treatments available in the latter and helped by cheap flights and internet sources of information. 2. Despite high-profile media interest and coverage, there is a lack of hard research evidence on the role and impact of medical tourism for OECD countries.
