  • Junior Year Abroad Network Annual Report 2006–2007
    BERKLEY CENTER for RELIGION, PEACE & WORLD AFFAIRS GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY FALL 2007 Junior Year Abroad Network | Annual Report 2006–2007 BERKLEY CENTER REPORTS Charles Prahl The Berkley Center’s Junior Year Abroad Network (JYAN) program offers Georgetown students the unique opportu- nity to augment their study abroad experience through careful thought and reflection on the religious dimensions of the cultures they become immersed in while away from the hilltop. The program helps participants discover insights about their host countries and, more importantly, themselves. Sarah Delaney One of the best things I learned about myself abroad is that I am a hard-core Hoya at heart. I loved meeting new people, eating new foods, traveling to new places, and immersing myself in a new culture...and all the while found myself wanting to discuss and analyze these expe- riences in the way we do every day here at Georgetown. Students really take it upon themselves to explore the world around them and have enlightened conversations about significant issues. That’s something I never realized set apart a Hoya before my time abroad. Katharine Davis The more time I spend abroad, the more time I find myself dedicating to confronting and accepting my own strengths and weaknesses. … At the moment, I don’t fully understand my place or purpose in the world, but I have come to realize that I will never be able to do so without the varied experiences that come only from living and traveling in other countries. Flávia Menezes JYAN encouraged me to be a conscious observer of everything that was happening around me during my new life in Paris.

  • Stan Smith Record at the Ojai
    By Steve Pratt Fifty years ago this month, Stan Smith came to Ojai as a shy, 18-year-old USC freshman from Pasadena, the reigning national junior champion, and playing on one of tennis’ grandest stages, the final of the Men’s Open Division at the 66th annual Ojai Tennis Tournament. In a probably otherwise forgettable final for Smith, he was beaten by UCLA junior Charlie Pasarell, 6-3, 6-1, on that day in 1965 in just 38 minutes with Pasarell’s passing shots no match for the net-charging Smith. In the doubles final later in the day, the Los Angeles Times reported that Smith and Bob Lutz teamed up to exact some revenge against Pasarell and his UCLA teammate Joaquin Loyo-Mayo, winning the match, 2-6, 9-7, 8-6 in a division that debuted at The Ojai in the year 1900. It will be hard for Smith not to get nostalgic during the playing of the 115th edition of the venerable tournament known as one of the most storied anywhere within tennis circles. Smith is returning to The Ojai in April for the first time since he began his long and storied career all those years ago as the tournament’s honored guest in 2015. Smith will be the featured speaker at the Thursday night barbecue, as well as mingle with Ojai tennis fans at a special fundraising wine event hosted by the Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room on Friday night. A good friend of Weil Academy’s Mark Weil, Smith’s daughter once attended the Weil Academy and he paid a visit to Ojai while she was there a little over a decade ago.

  • Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S
    Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California wins third national title in a row; Nguyen clinches championship with thrilling three-set victory: Daniel Nguyen made a shot to earn a break point, fl ipped off his hat, started taking off his shirt and then danced around the court until his Southern California teammates could reach him and pile on. Nguyen downed Sanam Singh, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4, to give Southern California a 4-3 victory against Virginia for the Trojans’ third consecutive NCAA men’s tennis title May 24. They became the fi rst three-time defending champions since Stanford won four in a row from 1995 to 1998. “I remember watching Prakash Amritraj take off his shirt when we won the 2002 title,” Nguyen said. “I thought about doing it and then thought, ‘nah, let’s not do it.’” Seconds later he was tackled to the ground amid a wave of Trojans. “It was an incredible match,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “It all came down to the last match. How many teams win three in a row? These boys did it. This coaching staff did it.” Nguyen’s fi nal game featured a solid return game. He dived to save one shot and ended up getting the point. That led to the chip shot from the net that landed a few yards from Singh. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” Nguyen said. “It was unbelievably loud and it was hard to focus. I just seized the moment and took advantage.” Of his second point in the last game, he said: “I just saw the ball and ran as fast as I could and dove for it.
