2008-2010 Catalog Rockhurst University Rockhurst University 2008–2010 Catalog 2008–2010 Catalog Learning, Leadership and Service in the Jesuit Tradition www.rockhurst.edu ROCKHURST UNIVERSITY 2008-2010 CATALOG The Rockhurst Seal, adopted in 1945, summarizes pictorially the inspi- ration and history of the University. In 1999, the seal was modified to reflect the institution’s new name: Rockhurst University (previously Rockhurst College). The shield in the center comprises four quarters separated by a cross with seven pillars, symbolizing the seven pillars of wisdom and the seven liberal arts. Reading clockwise, the moorcock is from the family shield of St. Thomas More, patron saint of Rockhurst. The stony, wooded hill represents the ground on which Rockhurst was built and for which it was named. The holly sprig is from the coat of arms of the Dowling family in honor of the University’s founder. The year 1910 is the founding year of Rockhurst. The quarter bars are from the family shield of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. The Latin words below the shield translate, “Wisdom has built herself a home.” 816-501-4000 1100 Rockhurst Road, Kansas City, Mo. 64110-2561 www.rockhurst.edu 1 Table of Contents Accreditation and

  • Rockhurst University Et Al. V. Factory Mutual Insurance Company
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI WESTERN DIVISION ROCKHURST UNIVERSITY, and MARYVILLE UNIVERSITY, individually and on behalf of Case No. other similarly situated institutions of higher education, COMPLAINT Plaintiffs, Class Action v. DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL FACTORY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant. CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL Plaintiffs Rockhurst University and Maryville University (“Plaintiffs”), individually and on behalf of other similarly situated institutions of higher education, for its Class Action Complaint against Defendant Factory Mutual Insurance Company (“Defendant”), state and allege as follows: NATURE OF ACTION 1. Institutions of higher education have been hit particularly hard by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Since the disease began to spread rapidly across the country in late February and early March 2020, almost every college and university has taken drastic and unprecedented action to protect its students, faculty, staff, and the general public from COVID-19. This was no easy task. Most institutions of higher education are more like small- or medium-sized cities than mere schools. In addition to educating the future of America, they provide housing for hundreds or thousands of students; serve and sell food; operate stores; employ large numbers of teachers, administrators, and other employees; sponsor sports teams; host public events; and perform many other services. 1 Case 4:20-cv-00581-BCW Document 1 Filed 07/23/20 Page 1 of 22 2. On March 6, 2020, the University of Washington became the first major university to cancel in-person classes and exams.1 By the middle of March, others across the country had followed suit and more than 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 state have canceled in-person classes and shifted to online-only instruction.

  • Politics in Fictional Entertainment: an Empirical Classification of Movies and TV Series
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OPUS Augsburg International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1563–1587 1932–8036/20150005 Politics in Fictional Entertainment: An Empirical Classification of Movies and TV Series CHRISTIANE EILDERS CORDULA NITSCH University of Duesseldorf, Germany This article presents conceptual considerations on the classification of TV series and movies according to their political references and introduces an empirical approach for measuring the constituent features. We argue that political representations in fiction vary along two dimensions: political intensity and degree of realism. These dimensions encompass four indicators relating to characters, places, themes, and time. The indicators were coded for a sample of 98 TV series and 114 movies. Cluster analyses showed four clusters of TV series and six clusters of movies. Nonpolitical fiction, thrillers, and fantasy were central types in both TV series and movies. Movies, however, stand out through a greater diversity and a focus on the past that is reflected in three additional types. Based on the identification of different types of movies and TV series, three directions for theory building are suggested. Keywords: fictional entertainment, TV series, movies, classification, political intensity, degree of realism As the lines between information and entertainment become increasingly blurred, scholarly attention is not only directed to entertainment features in information programs but extends to information in entertainment programs. The latter especially regards the pictures of reality that are constructed in the respective programs. Attention is directed to both the identification of such pictures and the assessment of their possible effects.

  • (Aoasm) Aoa Update
    AOASM– AOA Update April 26, 2021 AMERICAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION OF SPORTS MEDICINE (AOASM) AOA UPDATE I. OPENING REMARKS I am Thomas Ely, DO, an osteopathic board-certified Family Physician, and currently President of the American Osteopathic Association. April 18-24, 2021, we celebrated National Osteopathic Medicine Week, highlighting the proud 129-year heritage of osteopathic medicine, reflecting the momentous contributions of DOs – past, present, and future – within the health care system and in the lives of millions of patients. As we reflected on our heritage, we looked forward to our future. So, I thank you for the opportunity to provide a brief update on how the American Osteopathic Association is working for YOU. Even though we have been working in a “virtual world,” I can assure you that the AOA has been involved in many significant activities and areas that have, and will have, definite impact on the osteopathic profession. We are a physician-led, physician-directed organization working to measure, anticipate, and respond to YOUR needs. II. AOA OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES In addition to supporting physicians and students during the pandemic, the operational priorities for my presidential year have been aimed at advancing, enhancing, and building a bright future for the osteopathic profession. My first objective is to Expand the Osteopathic Community. Currently, osteopathic physicians represent approximately 11% of all practicing physicians in the United States, but osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest-growing segments of health care, with a growth increase of almost 300% over the past three decades. We graduate over 7,000 new osteopathic physicians a year and by the end of this decade, we will represent an estimated 20% of all practicing physicians in the United States.
