Summer 2011 Welcome to the twelfth annual Summer Scholars Dinner at Saint Joseph’s University. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to bring together so many different people, friends of SJU and representatives of area businesses and corporations, SJU administrators, faculty, staff, and the Summer Scholars students. This book contains brief descriptions of some of the many ongoing projects involving students here at Saint Joseph’s. We hope that you will take a few minutes to talk with some of the students and let them tell you something about their work. This year marks the seventh in which the Summer Scholars Program has been open to students and faculty in all areas of the university, and the second in which students from nearby Lincoln University have also been able to participate. We are very pleased that students engaged in creative scholarly work and independent research projects with faculty mentors from 24 different academic departments and programs. We especially wish to thank the faculty mentors who have so generously given of their time, talent and abilities to work with these scholars of tomorrow. Their generosity makes this program possible. Thank you for taking the time to join us as we recognize the work of these young men and women. We would also like to thank the many people, funding agencies, and corporations whose support continues to make student research and creative scholarly activity at SJU a reality.

It seems a bit ironic to me that I spent twenty years in radio (and continue to consult radio stations and record labels) researching the music around the commercials and I now research music in the commercials and in general (including the music and radio industries). In any case, it has been the perfect extension of my past into my present and provides me the opportunity to bridge my professional with my academic career to inspire and prepare my students for the future. My primary research focuses on advertising cues and effects especially popular music. I have the unpopular opinion that the combination of popular music and advertising actually creates a new cultural product and is, therefore, the perfect marriage of art and commerce. I have looked at popular music and advertising both quantitatively (attention, memory, and amount in primetime television) and qualitatively (in theory, popular culture, retail and social marketing). I incorporate my research into my music marketing, media management and marketing communications classes with my students not only learning from the results but often participating in the exploration.
