Faces of American today: four mem- bers of AU's new musical theatre troupe "Pizzazz ... A Touch of Gold." Clockwise from top, Kyle Holen, fresh- man chemistry major from St. Paul, Minn.; Michele Suzanne Miller, sopho- more theatre major from Sunnyvale, Calif.; Brett Smock, freshman theatre major from Singapore, Malaysia; and Betsy Getschman, graduate student in dance and theatre from Brownsville, Pa. The brainchild of Gail Humphries Breeskin, assistant professor of performing arts, "Pizzazz" operates as a professional touring company. Members are chosen by audition and drawn from throughout the university. Students fill off-stage roles as well, working as choreographers, company manager, technical director, and stage manager. In their first year, the troupe has had over forty bookings, bringing a growing repertoire of Broadway medleys to audi- ences at Ford's Theatre, at the National Theatre, at an inaugural gala in the grand ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel, and at the kickoff of AU's Centennial Campaign (see back cover). Wherever they go, they give evidence to AU's energy and enthusiasm, its bright and talented student body, its commitment to experiential education, and its pizzazz!

SPRING 1989 President's Message

s a member of the selection panel for the A first teacher to go into space, I inter- viewed an eager young woman from New Hampshire-Christa McAuliffe. I asked her, 'Why do you care? In a society that does not respect education enough, why do you care so deeply?" And she answered, "You have to under- stand: I touch the future. I teach." The founders of The American University un- derstood that education is the most worthwhile of endeavors. Curing disease, relieving the hungry and destitute, striving for peace-all are possible only through education. Education enables the doctor, the research scientist, the social reformer, the artist, and the politi- cal leader to shape a better world for us all. In this issue of American, you will glimpse how that founding vision is manifested in The American University today. You will sense the spirit of excitement as we prepare for our Centennial. As an institution, we have examined ourselves closely, identified our greatest strengths, and set goals to build on those strengths. And you will see why alumni support is critical to our plans. The diverse parts-academic programs, enthusiastic people, campus facilities, and fi- nancial support-are coming together to enable AU to reach new horizons. We must seize the moment. We are proud that The American University has remained true to its founders' vision. The university has made a unique contribution; now, it is poised-with your help-to make an even greater contribution as it ap- proaches its hundredth birthday. Together, we can touch the future.

The Case for Giving

he founders of The American University envisioned a great national university serving the capital of the country-a university whose ideals would reflect and challenge those of the nation itself. Such noble aspira- tions have charted American's successful course over the past century.

The university's founders had few financial resources, but by the sheer force of their idealism and the grandeur of their dream, they created an institution. Through the generosity and resolve of genera- tions of committed leaders and supporters, AU has remained true to its founders' vision. The Centennial Campaign is this generation's opportunity to ensure AU's continued ability to serve future generations.

When the campaign concludes in 1993, the centennial year, its fruits will include not only the practical reality of much-needed funding for university projects, but also widespread rededication to the mission of The American University: to give students a strong liberal arts education bolstered by experiential learning.

THE PLAN BEHIND THE PLEA

Systematic planning took hold at American when President Richard Berendzen inaugurated AU85, the university's first comprehensive plan for academic growth. He set tough goals, resulting in unprecedented growth in the number and quality of undergraduate students, a 40 percent increase in campus facilities, and endowment growth of 400 percent. Through these achievements, the university community came to understand and appreci- ate its collective strength.

Inspired by the accomplishments of AU85, the faculty completed a review of the entire academic program in 1987. They emerged unified, with shared visions for the future. Tough choices were made, based on hard facts. Marginal programs were eliminated, and outstanding programs were singled out for reinforcement. Provost Milton Greenberg called the review "an academic miracle that will alter the course of this institution for the next generation."

That "academic miracle" -along with plans to improve American's physical plant and revitalize its general education requirements-forms the founda-

SPRING 1989 7 tion for AU100, the plan that sets ambitious yet achievable goals f~r the university through its centennial year. The Centennial Campaign will en- able us to meet the goals of AU100. Approval of both the campaign and the long-range plan in 1987 by the Board of Trustees marked the converg~nce of the two most demanding ventures ever undertaken by The Amencan University.

GETTING A HEAD START

By the end of 1987, $35 million in lead gifts had been raised from truste~s, "What does being in business alumni, faculty, and friends toward the $100 million goal of the Centenmal really fee/like?"

Particularly important in this regard has been completion of the Adnan Khashoggi Sports and Convocation Center, incorporating the Reeves Aquatic Complex and the Abbey Joel Butler Pavilion of shops and offices.

PHYSICAL PLANT NO. 1 FUNDING PRIORITY

Although American's campus and facilities have expanded by 40 percent since 1980, they are still inadequate. As the university's academic programs grow, so must the spaces and equipment that support them. Consequently, the Centennial Campaign's fund-raising efforts will benefit in particular the following aspects of The American University's physical plant:

WCL, the only law school in the country founded by women, has earned acclaim for its focus on congressional law and policy, its practicing law clinic, its concentration of national experts on criminal law, and the nation's leading program on the emerging role of women in the law.

Theatre/arts facilities. These facilities will include a theatre with complete stage and backstage facilities, additional art galleries, and studios, class- rooms, and faculty offices.

ENDOWMENTBASEANOTHER TARGETFOR FL~DS

The American University's admissions standards have become increasingly selective. Average SAT scores of entering freshmen and the number of National Merit Scholars have increased dramatically. AU had more Na- tional Merit Scholars in its 1988- 89 freshman class than any other D.C.- area university. Additional endowment funds at this time will help AU to attract top-quality faculty for today's capable students and to remain com- petitive with other prestigious institutions of higher education.

A strong endowment base will allow the university to expand the number of endowed faculty chairs to recruit additional distinguished professors and to retain its current first-rate teachers and scholars. With increased student financial aid funds, the university will be able to welcome all talented students, regardless of their economic status, and not risk losing such applicants to better-financed competing institutions.

Research activities will profit from enhanced endowment funds as well. By doubling the number and raising the quality of full-time graduate students, American aspires to defme new levels of creative and original scholarship. Both faculty and students will be actively encouraged to promote the quality and quantity of research programs in process at AU, and meeting the needs of the university's increasingly capable students will be para- mount at all times.

Garrard, who spent eight years investi- gating Gentileschi's career, was .first drawn to the artist when she saw SIX of her works on exhibit in Los Angeles in the 1970s. "I was intrigued by her techni- cal skill but even more by her ability to take a traditional Biblical theme like Su" sanna and the Elders or Judith's killing of Holofernes and reinterpret it from the fe- male character's point of view," she says. ''The resulting images were so different from those of her male predecessors and contemporaries that I wanted to know more about her." Garrard's search for the real Gentileschi led her through the libraries, museums, and archives of America and Europe- reading the documentary evidence and studying the original paintings wherever possible. One of her most intense re- search experiences came through her study of the rape trial transcript, which is included in the book. "It was really ex- traordinary to see how she functioned in what was the most vulnerable position a wom~n could be in," says Garrard. "She even submitted to physical torture to prove she was telling the truth, yet she never lost her dignity or her sense of her- self as a person." Despite her exhaustive research, Gar- rard regards the six-hundred-page vol- ume, already slated for its second print- ing, as a starting point for what she hopes will be a revival of interest in the Italian painter. She hopes, too, that the "psycho- logical clues" inherent in the artist's gen- der and experience will help scholars identify other Gentileschis as yet undis- covered or attributed to her father.

Community Service Associates Project: Helping the helpers

unique project that matches the A needs of the community with the needs of some AU students is reaping rewards that are greater than the sum of its parts. The Community Service Associates (CSA) project trains twenty-five students a year to work as tutors at Lincoln Junior High School, an inner-city school with a culturally diverse student population in Washington's Adams-Morgan. In addition to spending six to eight hours a week tu- toring, the associates attend a weekly in- service training session to address such topics as tutoring methodology, cross-cul- tural issues, and junior high development. . In return, associates are granted $1,000 10 tuition remission the semester after they tutor at Lincoln. "Essentially, this program provides you with the financial ability to participate," says Chris Garren, a junior majoring in Associate Chris Garren helps a Lincoln student work out a math problem.
