Set to serve as a point of connection between students, faculty and staff, Hoover Hall will sit opposite the Union Building anchoring the northeast corner of Hanna Street and Burkhart Walk. The new dining hall will include a main dining room, along with multiple smaller dining rooms and meeting spaces for faculty and student gatherings. Once complete, the existing kitchen in the Hub will be removed creating a space between the Union Building and Hoover Hall that is approximately the same size as Ubben Quadrangle. The construction of Hoover Hall is possible thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, including a lead gift from David and Suzanne Hoover, both Class of 1967.

With DePauw students all over the globe exploring new cultures, conducting research with faculty, tackling new internships or diving into new courses on campus through the Extended Studies Program, we could probably fill an entire magazine. Or, even better, we'd love to hear from you about your study abroad stories. Write letters to us at landersn@depauw, and we'll print them in the next issue.

LEADING THE WAY D. Mark McCoy

DePauw University founded one of the first schools of music in America, and that music school has been educating great musicians for more than 130 years. We are thrilled to assume a leadership role once again, now through the groundbreaking 21st-Century Musician Initiative (21CM). Launched in October 2013 with a $15 million lead gift from Judson and Joyce Green ’74, ’75, this initiative brings the first required entrepreneurial music curriculum in America to DePauw. More than one of the best, we are truly one of a kind. You have likely seen 21CM in action. Perhaps you heard one of our groups performing in atypical spaces, such as Almost Home restaurant, Asbury Towers Senior Center, Starbucks or even on a hay wagon at the farmer’s market. Maybe you’ve heard about our national and international touring, including performances at the world’s most famous concert hall, the Musikverein in Vienna, or America’s most famous home, the White House. You may have purchased one of the new CDs from DePauw University Records or listened to our podcast on iTunes. You may have visited our amazing new website at 21cm.org or heard about our new storefront on the courthouse square, where we will teach and perform and develop new audiences. Maybe you have visited campus recently to take in a concert by one of the amazing 21st-century musicians that now appear here regularly Try DePauw’s Alumni App – great musicians, such as Canadian Brass, Time for Three, Thomas Hampson, Bobby Have you downloaded DePauw’s McFerrin or Yo-Yo Ma.

‘. . . an ambitious work at the cutting edge of scholarship on global governance. . . . brings together some of the most well-known scholars of environmental governance. . . . powerful conceptually and empirically, and essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the changing nature of governance at the global level.’ – Virginia Haufler, University of Maryland

‘. . . provides essential lessons for all those who are looking to find solutions to the current Transnational CLIMATE CHANGE Governance climate crisis. This is a must-read for anyone who is involved in so-called bottom-up climate change initiatives and, in fact, for anyone who is interested in finding workable solutions to the climate crisis.’ – Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group

‘This is imaginative and reflexive environmental social science at its best.’ – Andrew Jordan, Tyndall Centre, University of East Anglia

This book provides the first comprehensive account of transnational climate change governance. Co-authored by a team of the world’s leading experts and based on a survey of sixty case studies, the book traces the emergence, nature and consequences of transnational efforts to respond to climate change and assesses the implications for how we understand global politics.

It is increasingly clear that the world of climate politics is no longer confined to the activities of national governments and international negotiations. Research has demonstrated the proliferation of climate governance experimentation taking place by sub-national governments, non-governmental organisations and businesses. Such interventions are taking a range of forms, from carbon markets to certification schemes and voluntary workplace schemes to new urban planning codes. Critical to this transformation of the politics of climate change has been the Transnational emergence of new forms of transnational governance that cut across traditional state-based jurisdictions, operate across public and private divides and seek to develop new approaches and techniques through which to develop responses. What sets these initiatives apart from other forms of transnational relations is their concern not only to influence others, as lobbying groups or scientific advisory bodies might do, but to directly intervene in the governing of global affairs. To date, much of the analysis of the nature and consequences of transnational CLIMATE governance has been limited to a few high-profile case studies. This book will help to fill this gap in our understanding by offering a more comprehensive and well-rounded summary of the phenomenon of transnational climate governance. It also raises questions about the extent to which this phenomenon can be traced in other fields, and hence of the connections between responses to climate change and other important areas of global governance, including security CHANGE A new paradigm for sustainable success and development. This book will prove invaluable for researchers, graduate students and policy makers in climate Governance change, political science, international relations, human geography, sociology and ecological economics.

Transition to broadcasting A short stint at Business 2.0 followed in 2006, before Fortt was funneled over to a sister Time Inc. publication, Fortune. “Again, [my coverage of] Apple was a big help in that,” Fortt says. CNBC had frequently dipped into the tech-reporter pool at his previous publications for guests to talk about Apple, giving Fortt a chance to get his feet wet in broadcasting. When the opportunity came to make the jump to the cable network and broadcast field, print journalism’s dismal outlook made the decision for him: “With layoffs and buyouts happening multiple times, I was like, ‘I’ll talk to anybody.’” Fortt subsequently put in three-plus years at the network’s San Jose bureau, followed by his big promotion to on- air editor back on the East Coast, in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. His daily “Squawk Alley” duties have him hosting at the Exchange; he writes for CNBC’s website as well. Along the way, he’s nailed interviews with some of the biggest names in tech,

SPRING 2015 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 23 including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Brian Krzanich, Intel’s CEO, plus – an enviable feat – the first interview with new Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella right after Nadella’s infamous statement last October that women shouldn’t ask for a raise, just trust that “the system” will deliver one. Fortt’s “seamless” transition from print to broadcast is something else to admire, says Lucchetti, now deputy banking editor at The Wall Street Journal and a confirmed print guy. “He’s really a great writer and a natural interviewer,” Lucchetti says of Fortt. “So I think that’s part of the reason he’s made the transition so well. If you watch him with a consumer, or a user of technology, or even a man on the street, or the head of a major technology company, he’s equally at ease and asks all the tough questions.” And, from Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times columnist James B. Stewart ’73, who appears weekly on the NBC show prior to Fortt’s: “His work has kept CNBC in the forefront of technology coverage, which is vital for any business news organization,” Stewart writes by email. “One of the biggest stories of recent years has been the rise of Apple, and Jon has run with that and done a terrific job.” Fortt, meanwhile, tempers Stewart’s remark, recalling a not-so-terrific run-in with none other than Jobs himself. Fortt remembers the email, which arrived on a Saturday morning, from an address something like [email protected]. “I consider myself to still be learning.

SPRING 2015 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 25 26 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 eminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian was scheduled to speak at Utah State University in October 2014. Unknown to most outside of a few Internet circles, Sarkeesian and her Web series on ETHICS F misogyny in video games had gained the unwanted attention of a small, but loud contingent of gamers. Loosely united under the Twitter hashtag #GamerGate, the group claimed to support “ethics in games journalism,” but their most consistent outreach came in the form of vicious campaigns of harassment, online and off, against those who BEYOND disagreed with them, particularly young women. Following two anonymous threats of mass shootings at Sarkeesian’s Utah State talk – and the inability under Utah law for the university to prevent firearms from entering the auditorium – she canceled her appearance. Almost overnight, Sarkeesian (and by association THE #GamerGate) jumped from an online-edition curiosity to the cover of Bloomberg Businessweek and the front page of The New York Times. The sheer absurdity of the situation – “All this angst over games?” one Times story commenter asked – sparked the earliest interest, but as her message began to drown out the noise surrounding it, Sarkeesian WALLS herself became the main attraction. Soon, she was a guest By Christopher L. Wolfe and Larry G. Anderson on “The Colbert Report” and a subject of ABC News’ “Nightline.” But Sarkeesian is not the subject of this story. Her rise to fame happened while Andrew M. “Andy” Cullison ’01 was in his first months as director of The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics. In that brief time, before anybody thought that a visiting video game critic might require special security considerations, Cullison had already snagged Sarkeesian as a speaker at Prindle’s 2015 Undergraduate Ethics Symposium. The order of events is important here because it hints at the direction Prindle is heading under Cullison: straight and unapologetically to the heart of 21st century ethical inquiry.

Somebody philosophy and English double major and but in a subtly different sense. A news site might say who, what, when, where and why. And I guess you might say we elaborate on the why. Stories are often news because of an ethical dilemma they raise, and we want to tease that out.” The Post’s first digital pages featured stories about Ray Rice, the former Baltimore Ravens running back who was dismissed from the team after a video of his domestic abuse became public; last summer’s massive hack and subsequent leak of hundreds of private celebrity photos; and, yes, one about Sarkeesian. There are some external contributors, but the bulk of the stories are written by Prindle’s student ethics interns. The stories are short and to the point, laying out the ethical tensions present in the topics people are talking about, particularly the people Cullison is charged with educating. “One of my goals for our interns is to cultivate a capacity for ethical awareness an ocean away thought Alex was cute, the a member of the University’s first Ethics and ethical reasoning,” Cullison says. “I Internet tracked him down, and now he’s Bowl team.

28 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 TAKING ON DIFFICULT PRINDLEPOST.ORG QUESTIONS The Prindle Institute for Ethics has traditionally provided a wide array of programming on campus, including visiting scholars, speakers, forums and a student intern program. Now, with the launch of the online Prindle Post, Cullison is working to move ethics education and discussion of ethical issues well beyond the walls of the Institute. “To my knowledge, there is not an institute like this at any other exclusively liberal arts college,” says Cullison, who also serves as secretary-treasurer of the American Philosophical Association’s Eastern Division and a member of the APA’s board of officers. “No other liberal arts college has anything that comes close to what we have here, which is odd because ethics is perhaps one of the most interdisciplinary kinds of study that you can embark on. And being competent to span a range of disciplines is what liberal arts colleges offer.” That’s why Cullison established the Prindle Prize Program, covering five general education categories. Through this new program, every class that a student takes at DePauw effectively becomes an opportunity for the student to be honored and recognized for thinking seriously about the issues in whatever field he or she is studying. As Cullison points out, grappling with any serious ethical issue requires an individual to be able to draw upon different subject areas. “If you’re going to figure out what you should do about an issue, what you ought to do about something going on in another country, or whether or not

The Institute’s primary goal is to transform Cullison doesn’t adhere to that argument DePauw students into thought leaders. “We entirely, but he does believe it is a good want to prepare students to be thought question to consider. “One thing that’s leaders in the sense that they have the interesting about ethics education and capacity to be the ones in the room who cultivating a capacity for ethical awareness,” can identify the ethical issue that other he says, “is in order to reason through an people might miss,” Cullison says. “And ethical issue, one of the things you need to once they’ve identified that ethical issue, we start understanding is how it might affect want them to be the sort of persons who other people.” can lead a thoughtful, reasoned, intelligent How does the issue affect people outside discussion about that issue.” your own circle of friends, outside your It’s also a goal to establish the Prindle own community?

Another important part of 21CM is inviting successful 21st-century musicians to campus – such as Time for Three, Project Trio or Voces8. “Every time musicians talk to students, they all say the same thing,” McCoys explains. “To be a successful musician, first and foremost, you have to have chops. You’ve got to be really good as a performer, but several of them also mentioned that the way they got where they are was that they took every opportunity to perform in public – whatever it was. “So while everyone else was finally getting the opportunity to perform their senior recital, they were scared to death.

AT A GLANCE Putting the campaign in context. Five central priorities. Opportunities for anyone to get involved.

Campaigns are – at their core – about setting priorities and goals, and then providing the resources to meet them. The Campaign for DePauw is no different. By focusing on the areas most important to current students and the future of the University – academics, affordability, success while at DePauw and after, and the campus itself – we will strengthen every element that makes DePauw what it is. That is the purpose of The Campaign for DePauw.

They also understand that the value of their degrees is largely dependent on the current strength of the University. DePauw provides a very special kind of education for 18- to 22-year-olds in a world that is extremely complex. It is a very personal education in which our graduates are equipped with critical thinking, writing and oral communication skills to compete in a rapidly changing world. Our ability to continue providing this kind of personal education requires that we innovate, and that we invest. That is what this campaign is about. “Our Alumni DM: Can you tell us a little bit about the priority areas for this campaign? SRW: Absolutely.
