Books for Belize MAKE JOURNEY SOUTH
The idling semi truck sat at Fontbonne University’s loading dock Dec. 10, ready and waiting for some weighty cargo — some 22,000 books headed to the tiny Central American country of Belize. The Fontbonne men’s basketball team provided the muscle needed to get more than 350 boxes of books loaded onto the tractor trailer. The tomes would eventually end up dispersed among 13 villages in Punta Gorda, Belize, where the Jesuits Fontbonne students Katie Clark (left) and Jessica Carr help orgainze and plan to build libraries. pack numerous books headed for Punta Gorda, Belize.

CHANGING the CONVERSATION by Elizabeth Hise
As clocks hit midnight Jan. 1, 2000, people around the globe held their breath. When information servers didn’t shut down and computers didn’t crash, the world realized that it was ready for the Internet age. The dot com bubble was about to burst and would eventually leave technology gurus and online experts with time on their hands. The Internet had nowhere to go but up. Fontbonne University had, of course, survived the infamous Y2K countdown, but the Internet wasn’t necessarily an integral part of everyday life at 6800 Wydown Boulevard. Sure, the school had a Web site, but for the most part, the vast real estate potential found online remained untapped by institutions like Fontbonne. As the World Wide Web — and technology in general — expanded, communication became faster and easier, and information was seemingly limitless. Suddenly, a new type of conversation was taking place.

5 the DreamMbyakers Joyce Romine
e’ve all heard about groupsW of employees who pooled their money to buy lottery tickets, then hit the jackpot and split the winnings. In that same spirit, a group of women are merging their assets — and collective passion — for an endeavor that’s making a very personal impact at Fontbonne University and around the world.
The Fontbonne Community Connection (FCC) is a new women’s giving circle that funds projects proposed by Fontbonne staff, faculty, students or student organizations. “We’re a group of like-minded women who want to make a difference and have a voice,” says Carol Spehr ’63, the FCC chair. “It’s about women connecting with women — this is the magic.”

12 13 a message from the President
The prior fiscal year has been a true testament to what people can do with shared values, a clear vision and dedication toward a common mission. Reflecting on what we achieved during this critical period of time, I am struck by the tireless efforts of so many in the Fontbonne community — trustees, regents, Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, faculty, staff, students, alumni, donors and other friends. Whether you look at our inaugural dedicated semester focusing on Judaism or the acclaimed work by our faculty and students on the Bosnian genocide exhibit, one has to appreciate the broad-sweeping, yet inclusive, nature of our academic endeavors. Or take, for instance, our Fontbonne service day during which all faculty and staff came together and then dispersed, like rays of light, throughout the St. Louis area to lend a hand at dozens of area organizations. We can all be proud that Fontbonne stands as a strong community in and of itself, but it is also important to recognize that we have a meaningful connection to the greater community beyond our campus. It is, after all, inherent in our mission. I encourage you to read more about the past year in the article “a look back ... and forward” on page 16 in this issue of Tableaux. The one consistent theme that inspires me every day is knowing that in all we do, we keep the students at the center of our decision-making process. Essentially stated, my core belief is that our students are the raison d’etre for the existence of Fontbonne. As we look to the future, certainly one cannot deny the challenges ahead. Adverse economic predictions notwithstanding, our university family has a proven record of adaptability, creativity, resiliency and courage, and this is the time to once again utilize these gifts. To all of you who have supported us through the years, and to those of you whom I have the privilege of working with on a daily basis, please accept my deepest gratitude.
Sincerely,
Dennis C. Golden
14 a message from the Board Chair
During my service as Chair of Fontbonne’s Board of Trustees, we have engaged in a very impressive time in Fontbonne’s history. There have been record enrollments in both traditional and OPTIONS programs, and we have more academic offerings than ever before — serving a diverse population that includes part-time, full-time, adult and international students. Our level of involvement with local, as well as international communities, is taking our mission to the far reaches of the world. A recent example is the “Books for Belize” project featured on page 1 of this issue of Tableaux. Good people doing good things. But that’s not surprising at Fontbonne. One need only peruse the features in this and previous issues of the magazine to get a real sense of what Fontbonne is about and who we are. Of course, it is the daily commitment to scholarship — the teaching of students and all it takes to support our mission — that truly defines this university. Our graduates consistently go forth in the world, succeeding not only in their careers, but also in their families and their communities. Looking forward, we must proceed with determination and innovation. Yes, the economy is in crisis, and we must face the reality of that, but I believe the university has the foundation, leadership and vision to continue to excel. It is essential to recognize the importance of our donors — individuals from all walks of life who are proud to stand with us in fulfilling our mission. We are truly blessed to have such dedicated leadership, faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the university, and I thank you all abundantly.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Ferry Jr.
