4 Fall 2016 | LORAS COLLEGE PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Loras Alumni and Friends,

As the saying goes, “We live in interesting times.”

In the midst of these challenging days, a polarizing political climate and a disruptive higher education industry, I continue to cherish being a member of the Loras College community. Our long- James E. Collins ('84) standing motto, Pro Deo et Patria [et Gentibus] – For God, Country [and World] – continues to drive President the good works of so many of our alumni, students, faculty and staff. I am pleased that this edition provides a continuing snapshot of some of the many untold, inspiring stories about Loras’ people.

But we aren’t content with retelling stories of days gone by. Instead, as we finalize details of our three-year strategic plan, we will aggressively build upon a solid foundation, which has been created by dedicated and talented faculty and staff over the years. We are fortunate to have added a new generation of the same type of talented and dedicated faculty and staff at Loras. They are committed to our mission, motto and academic dispositions while ensuring our students graduate with all the necessary abilities to thrive professionally, spiritually, personally and civically in today’s complex world.

Loras continues to excel and advance, even in a difficult national environment. Some points below offer evidence of how our Loras community continues to thrive, adapt and build on its solid foundation.

• The September 2016 edition of Washington Monthly designated Loras as one of the top 30 baccalaureate colleges in the country. Loras is #11 on the list. • Loras has established a Latino teen mentor program for recent immigrants. • Effective this year, Loras has launched the following new academic offerings: • 3+2 graduate program in Athletic Training • 3+2 MBA in Business Analytics • Biomedical track in our Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET)-accredited engineering program • Thanks to the generosity of more than 20,000 alumni and friends, the Inspiring Lives & Leadership campaign has now surpassed the $91,000,000 mark.

In the weeks ahead, we will be sharing goals related to our strategic plan. Some highlights include growing graduate programs, revising our general education curriculum and further enhancing our national reputation in any number of academic and co-curricular programs. Obviously, strengthening our financial position to ensure our faculty and staff have adequate resources to enhance student learning experiences is critical. And, we need to keep access to a Loras education affordable.

I have every confidence that the people of Loras College will meet the aspirations of our future with continued resilience and creativity. Also, I have no doubt that Loras alumni and friends will continue to pray for and financially support this hidden gem in Dubuque, Iowa, that we all dearly love.

God Bless,

James E. Collins ’84 President FEATURE STORY

Raymond Roseliep: Man of Art Who Loves the Rose Bauerly’s biography, published in the fall of 2015, chronicles the life of the late Rev. Raymond Roseliep (’39), who was an accomplished poet and one of the foremost haiku writers of the 20th century. The Haiku Foundation published the work.

Over the course of a number of years, Bauerly and the late associate professor of English came to share not only careers teaching English at Loras, but also a love for poetry and the short poetry form of haiku. Bauerly’s book builds on her 55-year background with Roseliep’s writing. With text interwoven with selections of Roseliep’s poems, Bauerly shares the events and relationships that impacted his life and work.

The Abolition of War David Cochran’s The Abolition of War, published by Orbis Books in 2014, is the culmination of five years of research and writing. The book argues that by changing social attitudes and public policies, war may go the way of duels, slavery and lynching, once accepted forms of violence in America.

“I have a long-standing interest in issues around the morality of war. I had published a few articles on war and peace, and have long taught a course at Loras on just war and pacifist theory,” Cochran said. “It was basically my attempt to work out for myself and set down in writing several interrelated ideas about the nature of war and the possibility of its abolition.”

The book, Cochran’s fourth since joining the Loras College faculty, was shaped by faculty and staff feedback from across disciplines and with various opinions on the topic. His next project on war and peace challenges the case Hitler and World War II presents for pacifist and nonviolent theory.

“So many of us accept that war is an inescapable and sometimes justified part of the human condition. The book calls both of these assumptions into question. For Catholics in particular, I hope the book shows that the Church’s long-standing call to abolish war from the earth is both moral and realistic.” CURRENT NEWS Loras College adds new biomedical track to engineering program

14 Fall 2016 | LORAS COLLEGE This prosthetic hand device designed by students uses an electromyography (EMG) muscle sensor to sense contraction of the bicep muscle. When contraction is sensed, the computer inside the hand closes the fingers and thumb to grip an object. When the contraction is sensed a second time, the hand opens to release the object.

“Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest- growing careers, stemming from both the increased need from an aging population and advances in science and technology,” Thompson said. “Growing technology and its application to medical equipment and devices, along with an aging population, will increase demand for the work of biomedical engineers.”

Loras College’s engineering program provides students the opportunity to develop strong technical and design skills. Graduates have gone on to careers at companies such as ENTEGEE®, Epic, John Deere, Rockwell Collins and Vermeerin, or continue their education in graduate school.

In addition, Loras College’s engineering program is one of only a few in Iowa that is Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited. With this designation, students, and employers can be confident that a program meets the quality standards that produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce.

The Loras College Hockey Club, founded in 1981, has more than 170 alumni, many of whom participate in the alumni games that serve as season bookends each year. In its 35th year, the club is one of the oldest on campus.

The goal of the club is to provide members the opportunity to have fun playing competitive hockey in an atmosphere that produces memorable friendships and provides valuable learning experiences. The club has always been open to anyone, regardless of hockey skill or experience.

The hockey season runs from September to April and consists of approximately 17 games, played at the Mystique Community Ice Center.

That was apparent during a recent conversation withEd Krolak (’54), a graduate of the English department.
