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.

Olin Biological Sciences Building is the only place in Greencastle where you can grow papaya, pineapple, coffee beans and vanilla beans. It’s also home to dozens of other plant species as well as faculty and student projects. 2 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 SPRING 2015 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 3 4 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 MEN’S BASKETBALL On Feb. 28, the DePauw men’s basketball team defeated The College of Wooster, claiming the Tigers’ first conference tournament championship since joining the North Coast Athletic Conference. The fourth-seeded Tigers beat second-seeded Wooster by a 69-56 margin. The win earned the Tigers an automatic bid into the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament. SPRING 2015 DEPAUW MAGAZINE 5 STUDY ABROAD If we're talking about study abroad, then a single photo (like this one of Madison McIntyre '17, who studied in Italy as part of the course “Architecture of Sport: Soccer and Society in Italy”) never seems to be quite enough. 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. 6 DEPAUW MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 MAGAZINE 18 26 32 THRIVE THINK LIVE A Good Fit Ethics Beyond the Walls 21st-Century Musicians DEPARTMENTS STAFF Jonathan C.

  • Gotham Episode 3 Review: Penguin Returns, Catwoman Eludes Gordon
    Gotham Episode 3 Review: Penguin Returns, Catwoman Eludes Gordon Author : Robert D. Cobb This episode could have been a filler episode. It has a non-descript villain. I got the feeling that it was building to the next part of the story. Fortunately, there were some awesome scenes and a cool twist at the end that created some intriguing possibilities. Bruce Wayne gets files related to his parents’ murder. It was just another part of his evolution into Batman. The Penguin also made his return. Penguin came back to Gotham was back to his old tricks. He managed to get inside the rival crime family that is opposing Carmine Falcone. There is no doubt that he will cross paths with Fish Mooney again. Robin Lord-Taylor was the standout performer in the episode once again. Another great scene was the “Cat” and Jim Gordon scene. The Catwoman and Gordon scene was interesting. It was odd that he went down into a sewer and didn’t have her get the wallet. She made him look foolish by escaping. It was another reminder of what she will become and it was appropriate for the character. It was one of the best scenes in the episode. Speaking of Fish Mooney, she was scheming again. She told the two cops about Gordon’s “murder” of the Penguin. It set up a confrontation between the two parties. They clearly don’t like each other and will eventually come to blows. It was clever to plant those seeds of doubt about Gordon. Mooney remains an interesting character to watch as the series evolves because she is proving to be unpredictable.

  • MMRF’S Bold Plan to Build an Innovative Immunotherapy Portfolio
    Summer 2017 The Magazine of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Advancing Immunotherapy Approaches Behind the MMRF’s bold plan to build an innovative immunotherapy portfolio. ■ Latest Insights from the MMRF CoMMpass StudySM ■ Cutting-edge Clinical Trials ■ NEW! Focus on Prevention A letter from Paul Giusti Dear Friends, Welcome to the latest edition of the MMRF Accelerator. It’s an exciting time for the MMRF, as we accelerate our search for a cure for each and every multiple myeloma patient. As you will see in this issue, our research model continues to generate incredible momentum. In our Clinical Trial Highlights (page 9), we spotlight several new trials – including novel and molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies – that are cause for optimism for patients at all stages of the disease. The MMRF CoMMpass StudySM Update (page 6), highlights the insights gleaned from our landmark $40 million effort – creating the largest genomic dataset in all cancers. You will also learn about two more new MMRF programs to speed multiple myeloma research. The first is a $15 million investment in the field of immunotherapy, a treatment approach that harnesses the power of each patient’s immune system, to fight and kill cancer cells. The MMRF Immunotherapy Initiative (page 4) invests in an Immunotherapy Network of Excellence – a collaborative effort to utilize immune approaches to treating multiple myeloma and use that data to drive new treatments in the clinic. The second, the MMRF Prevention Project (page 10), is focused on detecting multiple myeloma in its earliest, most treatable stages and, ultimately, stopping the disease before it progresses.
