PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2019-2020 1 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear friends, I am very happy to provide you with the 2019-2020 President’s Report for St. Joseph’s College. The document reveals the wonderful support we have enjoyed over the past year. We have also included some examples of students who have been directly impacted by your generosity, and who are realizing their educational dreams despite the challenges of the COVID pandemic. St. Joseph’s emphasizes traditional core values, which provide our students with the confi dence and ability to overcome obstacles and accomplish great things, even in times of adversity. These young people have triumphed during incredibly diffi cult times, and their success is a refl ection on the wonderful faculty and staff, and indeed all, who have supported them during their time with us. It’s clear that our alumni and friends want to keep the transformational character of St. Joseph’s alive. For that, the entire community of St. Joseph’s College is truly grateful. Let us move ahead with a sense of joy and purpose toward a bright future! Sincerely, Donald R. Boomgaarden, Ph.D. President, St. Joseph’s College 2 ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE • SJCNY.EDU Getting to Know a Trustee S. HELEN KEARNEY ’67, C.S.J., PH.D. S. Helen Kearney, C.S.J., Ph.D., describes herself as a lifelong learner. A 1967 graduate of St. Joseph’s College, S. Helen has served in many roles at the College, from teaching preschoolers in the Dillon Center and teaching classes in the child study program, to directing the Dillon Center and eventually joining the Board of Trustees in 2011. After 42 years of teaching at the College, she stepped down, in order to serve as president of the Sisters of St. Joseph congregation in Brentwood, a title she still holds today. Very familiar with the College’s mission of developing the student as a whole, S. Helen recognizes the importance of St. Joseph’s staying true to its fi ve pillars: integrity, intellectual rigor, spiritual depth, service and social responsibility. And as someone who was personally affected by COVID-19, losing her brother Joseph Donald Kearney, 93, to the virus the day after Easter, S. Helen understands the signifi cance of St. Joseph’s College embodying its pillars, while being able to help students who have been impacted by the pandemic. Did You Know...

    2015 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace|New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| 5 The 2015 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their works. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease (1943 – 2014) for her foundational support. Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

Kastely CWP Director Kathy Smathers Assistant Director Shatera Dixon Program Coordinator 713.743.3015 [email protected] This year we welcome two new and one visiting faculty member—all are exciting writers; all are compelling teachers. 2006-2007 Edition Every effort has been made to include faculty, students, and alumni news. Items not included will be published in the next edition. As we begin another academic year, I am struck by how much change the Program has endured in the past year. After the departure of several faculty members the previous year, we have hired Alexander Parsons and Mat John- son as new faculty members in fiction into tenure track positions, and we also hired Liz Waldner as a visitor in poetry for the year. Our colleague, Daniel Stern, passed away this Spring, and he will be missed. Adam Zagajew- ski will take a visiting position in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago this year, and that Committee will most likely become his new academic home. Ed Hirsh submitted his letter of resignation this Spring, and although Ed had been in New York at the Guggenheim for the last five years, he had still officially been a member of the Creative Writing Program on leave. And Antonya Nelson returned from leave this Spring to continue her teaching at UH. So there has been much change.
