These founding orders have ensured that our school community will remain steadfast in our Catholic values and commitment to academic excellence. Meghan Lind DesLauriers ’99 Secretary Their legacies continue to guide BSM in its important mission. Adam Ehrmantraut, Ed.D This past school year, we had a transition in school leadership as we welcomed Dr. Adam Ehrmantraut BSM President as BSM’s new president. His experience and passion for education have been apparent since his return, Susan Eich as has his look toward the future. Moving forward, our school is in excellent position with Dr. Ehrmantraut serving as the President. Br. Michael Fehrenbach, F.S.C. Christian Brothers Representative At the same time, I would sincerely like to thank Shay Wyley for stepping in as interim president during this Sheila Folkestad transition. He did not hesitate when called upon to serve in this role, and his positive presence was greatly appreciated by all in the community. Mark Guidinger Herschel Herndon In addition to the school’s excellent leadership, the faculty and staff at Benilde-St. Margaret's continue to inspire me with their dedication and professionalism. Each day, they create an experience that allows our students to Mark Lenss ’74 develop their fullest potential in body, spirit and mind. Their focus on our school’s mission allows Red Knights to become the servant leaders our world needs. Sheila Letscher Past Chair As I reflect on the 2016-2017 year, I know it would not have been possible without the support of our entire Fran McCloskey community. The investment of time, talent and treasure by our parents, alumni, my fellow board members and Treasurer others close to BSM makes a difference. It preserves the legacies of our founding orders and enables us to Penny Meier evolve as we meet the challenges ahead. Sister Joan Mitchell Thank you for choosing Benilde-St. Margaret’s, and thank you for continuing to support our school. CSJ Representative Because of the community, Red Knights have bright futures ahead of them. Biz McShane Murphy ’96 Sincerely, Tricia Bailey Myhre ’72 Jeff Olejnik ’86 Archie Black Fr.

  • Centennial Year Kicks
    Welcome to the Hall NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL ousands of graduates have received an education from the Naval Postgraduate School, and countless more have impacted this university through momen- tous contributions too great to list. But of this extraordinary group of ocers, ocials and leaders, MAGAZINEMAGAZINE there are only nine that have been inducted into the IN RE IEW V JULY 2009 NPS Hall of Fame. Now there are 10. As part of the NPS Centennial Kick-O and Reunion Weekend, General Michael W. Hagee, 33rd Comman- dant of the U.S. Marine Corps and a 1969 Electrical Engineering graduate, was inducted as the tenth member of this illustrious group of inuential leaders. Centennial Year Kicks Off University Begins 100-Year Anniversary Celebration in Grand Style As head of the Marine Corps, Hagee was a tireless supporter of education for the military service. Major General Melvin Spiese, Commanding General of the Marine Corps Training and Education Command, called Hagee “a model of advanced education in the armed forces, and the value it brings to the service member and the service.” And at the Centennial Gala where he was honored, Hagee took the opportunity to reiterate his continuing support. “Today, technology and world events change so fast that we have to educate students for missions that don’t yet exist, to solve problems we don’t yet know, to respond to enemies that can adapt to our plans in seven to 10 days,” he noted during the event. “Innovation is more important than ever, and you can’t innovate without a good advanced educational foundation.

  • Inner to Outer Space
    Inner to Outer Space From where should NASA or the private industry select their next generation of astronauts? They need individuals with a thirst for adventure, meticulous attention to detail and unbridled enthusiasm for exploration. The best choice for new astronauts lies in the ocean depths. Astronauts and aquanauts (NAUTS) are very similar, and a relationship between the two groups already exists. On a leave of absence from NASA, U.S. Navy astronaut Scott Carpenter worked the “Man in the Sea” project as a team leader in 1965, where he directed the team of divers. Many of the same traits are required for both space and undersea explorers to be successful. From Night Stars to Sea Stars The transfer of desirable habits from using aquanauts to fulfill the role of astronauts would greatly propel space exploration by reducing required training time. Additionally, some of the safety precautions and bailouts used in rebreather and expedition / exploration diving could be useful tools for space exploration. Differences also exist between these two subcultures. Present-day astronauts ride in a large (2 thousand ton) rocket into space, orbiting the earth at 8 kilometers per second at altitudes between 180 and 650 kilometers. Aquanauts descend in a pressurized bell, as free-swimming divers or in a chamber, to depths of between 10 and 600 meters of sea water (msw) at a rate of between 3 and 40 meters per minute; they remain in that high-pressure environment until they decompress. Even the differences have similarities though. When divers descend, the partial pressure of the gases they breathe (oxygen, helium or nitrogen) increases, according to Dalton’s Law.

  • Scott Carpenter Is a True American Hero
    Scott Carpenter Bio / Press Scott Carpenter is a true American hero. The first human being to pioneer the frontiers of both inner and outer space, he bears the dual title of Astronaut/Aquanaut. Chosen from a field of 508 military test pilots, Scott Carpenter is one of the original seven NASA Project Mercury astronauts. Commander Carpenter is the second American to orbit the Earth. His 3-orbit, 5-hour mission concluded with a spectacular manual landing after a retrofire malfunction forced a 250- mile overshoot of the planned landing zone. The result: the Aurora 7 spacecraft was outside NASA’s line-of-sight radio range, rendering communication with Cape Canaveral impossible for almost an hour. Anyone who remembers the excitement of the space race of the 1960s will recall the May 24, 1962 television and radio news reports speculating that the astronaut was lost in the Atlantic and his fate unknown. After a long and dramatic 55 minutes, the good news was heralded that Carpenter was discovered alive and well, having emerged from the nose of his spacecraft and settled into a life raft. He was recovered and safely brought aboard the USS Intrepid—two hours after splashdown. Congratulatory calls followed from President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and the country breathed a mutual sigh of relief. Scott Carpenter was born in Boulder, Colorado on May 1, 1925. He received a bachelor of science degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Colorado, and was commissioned in the U.S. Navy in 1949. This was followed by flight training and service in the Korean War.

Stewart Students and faculty at the Naval Postgraduate School are working with NASA scientists 60 feet beneath the ocean’s surface at Florida International University’s Aquarius Habitat on a novel effort that seeks to fundamentally transform the possibilities of human-robot collaboration. Envision a team of Navy divers, or astronauts, arriving at a previously unexplored location. Their objective is to successively map and explore identified areas of interest. But the explorers do not work alone, they work in conjunction with autonomous robots that are capable of “reasoning,” problem solving and assisting their human counterparts. “Diver operations are inherently dangerous … A robotic diver assistant system can provide autonomous support to dive teams and has the potential to significantly enhance underwater operations.” – NPS Research Associate Professor Noel Du Toit NPS’ E3 (Exploration in Extreme Environments) and NASA’s Sea Test II programs aim to facilitate this sort of human-robot interaction, ultimately improving diver and astronaut safety and enhanc- ing mapping, navigation and exploration in the undersea and space domains. “Diver operations are inherently dangerous. Physiological effects limit dive duration and frequency and necessitate a large support crew, thereby increasing operational costs. The sensory-deprived un- derwater environment also makes navigation, communication and documentation challenging. A robotic diver assistant system can provide autonomous support to dive teams and has the potential to significantly enhance underwater operations,” said NPS Research Associate Professor Noel Du Toit. “The E3 project is aimed at providing utility to the diver team without burdening the team with vehicle command and control, thereby augmenting the diver team and allowing more effective, efficient and safer operations,” continued Du Toit.
