  • Transforming Lives
    Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report 2007–2008 Transforming Lives The First Step The doors to Brooklyn College are the doors to opportunity. Compared with other institutions of higher education, a great many of our students shoulder substantial responsibilities, and many are the first in their family to attend college. Diverse in background, interests, and ambition, they share the certainty that higher education is the way to a productive and rewarding future. For many, that future will be secured with the help of the Brooklyn College Foundation Dear Friends of Brooklyn College For students—past and present—Brooklyn College stands as a gateway to a rewarding life. They come because they want to become effective leaders in their chosen profession and engaged citizens of the world. They come because they have heard of our commitment to academic quality and to helping them reach their goals. This commitment is at the heart of who we are and what we do. We have held firm to this principle throughout my presidency and, as I leave Brooklyn College this summer, I am especially proud of what we have done together to give it life and to sustain it. Last fall, we admitted a freshman class larger and better than the year before and we were joined by forty new faculty members, bringing the number of scholars and artists we have recruited over the last nine years to 273, more than half the teaching faculty and more than we appointed in the previous three decades. We also welcomed a new Provost, Dr. William A. Tramontano, who brings proven leadership in initiating and implementing new academic programs.

  • David Newman Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
    172 Book Reviews world' in which 'power will be even more widely dispersed and hierarchy weaker, so that no single state or realm can expect to be dominant'. Given the growing world hegemony and superpower status displayed by the United States, this last statement is questionable, although it remains to be seen whether a newly empowered Islamic Middle East, or an enlarged European Union will provide new forms of global and geopolitical balance. This book is an excellent text for students of political geography or international relations desiring to learn about the 'geo' dimensions of world politics and how these factors are undergoing constant dynamic change. It is written clearly and lucidly and displays a common analytical structure in its discussion of each world region. The bibliography is wide ranging, drawing in relevant material from across the disciplinary divide, enabling the interested student to follow up with in-depth readings of the topics and regions discussed in the book. It is descriptive, rather than analytical or critical, in its approach, but given the general lack of global or geopo­ litical knowledge on the part of the average student, this text provides a wealth of material which should enable students to have a better grasp of the rapidly changing, and interrelated, dimensions of the world political map. David Newman Ben-Gurion University of the Negev POLLUTION IN A PROMISED LAND. AN ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY OF ISRAEL by Alon Tal. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002. Love for the land of Israel is a central value found in all forms of Zionism. Yet, this love has not prevented the Israelis from wreaking all sorts of environmental damage and havoc on the land.

Her mother had been a 400m hurdler and her father had a passion for cricket and footy, so they thought she might enjoy it. Jemima quickly learnt that throwing, jumping and sprinting were not for her, but the longer distance racewalking and running events were far more enjoyable. She found herself a coach and a pair of running shoes and started her progression up through the age groups. She had to wait a year before she could compete in her first racewalk championship and by then she was already showing her talent. In March 2007, she won the Victorian Little Athletics U9 1100m walk championship with 5:59.77. Twelve months later, in March 2008, she won the U10 1100m championship in a faster 5:46.27. She joined the Victorian Race Walking Club in April 2008 and experienced her first road walks, competing in the U10 and U12 races. Her very first roadwalk saw her walk 12:09 for the 2km distance. By the end of her first winter season, she had reduced that time to 11:09 and won bronze in the RWA U12 2km Championship, held in conjunction with the Australian Roadwalk Championships in August 2008.

  • The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005
    The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005 On the cover: Architectural plan for realization of the campus design envisioned by Brooklyn College’s founding architect, Randolph Evans, in 1935. The plan proposes new entrances to Roosevelt and James Halls, a new West Quad to mirror the existing East Quad, and a new building to anchor the entire campus west of Bedford Avenue. The West Quad Project is one of several ambitious plans the College has launched to build a modern, student-centered campus conducive to learning and scholarship. Dear Friends of Brooklyn College At Brooklyn College in the last year, we have been busy building— not only the physical campus, but also the educational environment that best encourages vigorous learning and scholarship. Our priorities result largely from initiatives we launched during the first five years of my presidency—and particularly within the last twelve months. These include expanding the campus, renewing the natural sciences, and broadening our fiscal base. The physical transformation of the campus continues apace. We have doubled the size of the Morton and Angela Topfer Library Café, and it is open again 24/7. Over the summer, we renovated and modernized eleven lecture halls in Ingersoll Hall. We move ahead with the West Quad Project, laying out a new quadrangle and pouring the foundation for a new building. We have begun a major rebuilding of our science facilities and our science curriculum. The project will proceed in two stages. First, Roosevelt Hall will be transformed into a science building; then we will renovate Ingersoll Hall. The science faculty meanwhile has been discussing and defining the shape science teaching and research should take at the College.

  • Head Coach Mark Williams BOOMER SOONER Norman and Oklahoma City
    A TRADITION AND HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE The University of Oklahoma men’s gymnastics program is based on a foundation and tradition of excellence. That tradition includes eight NCAA team championships, 19 conference championships, seven Nissen-Emery award winners and 231 All Americans. We are led by student-athletes willing to persevere in times of adversity and work hard every day with an unbending will to prepare and succeed. Whether it’s striving for success in the classroom or on the competition floor, we always capitalize on the opportunities in front of us. Through dedication to the schedule and plan, commitment to a refinement of the details and putting action to that preparation, excellent results have followed. From our longtime partnership with Cleveland Elementary School to joining five Sooners at the Olympics in London this summer, it is a privilege and an honor to work with these student-athletes. At Oklahoma, we provide the avenues to reach the highest level. Our team accomplishments in the past 13 years are unprecedented. We take pride in helping student-athletes live their dreams beyond OU, to compete at World Championships, Olympic Games or other international events. Inspiring student-athletes to compete at the highest levels in all that they do – that’s what we aspire to achieve at Oklahoma.
