She is a member of the Ignatian Spirituality Committee at Old St. Joseph’s Church, Philadelphia. “Isaiah proclaims God’s knowledge of each of us. With ‘I have called you by name,’ the prophet reveals God’s call to us to live and work with the richness of our individual gifts. This seminar will probe the relation between our identity in God’s sight — God’s bringing us into being as distinct individuals — and our academic vocation. What is our sense of our uniqueness in mind and spirit? What led us into the intellectual life? What in our life as a scholar brings us the deepest satisfaction? How do we enact this as a teacher? The academic vocation at once demands solitude and service, excitement and clarity about our own work or field of study and commitment to reach out to students and fellow scholars. Participants in the seminar will reflect on the personal uniqueness that the call into their discipline brings to fruition, the freedom and the constraints experienced in acting on the call in the world of academic culture, and the opportunities for community that teaching and scholarship offer.” Elizabeth Johns For all our dear departed in this year of 2000 Beloved students and colleagues May they rest in peace PREFACE Mel Shay Provost, Seton Hall University I wish to recommend for your reading these proceedings of the third annual summer seminar of the Center for Catholic Studies. The previous two seminars titled “Knowledge and Wisdom” and “Divine Madness: Exercises in Appreciation” dealt with human and religious questions at the intersection of the individual academic disciplines. The present proceed- ings, coming out of the faculty seminar, May 30 to June 1, 2000, continues the same general area of questioning. The seminar, “Spirituality and the Academic Vocation,” was facilitated by Professor Elizabeth Johns, chair of the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Johns, well published in her own area of art history, has a long- standing interest in the relationship of her discipline to more general and religious interests. Her background and familiarity with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola made her an ideal facilitator for our faculty seminar. As you can see from the various contributions, the academic “vocation” of each participant arose in widely different circumstances. Some faculty members, through long and arduous searching, eventually stumbled on to their field of specialization. Others knew what they would do from the get-go. Others, after years of teaching, have discovered “a vocation within a vocation,” a specialization within their own specialization. All are vitally involved in the research and teaching involved in their own particular area. Whatever has been our own personal route to research and teaching, these essays reveal how important it is to recover the sources of our own earliest inspiration — and the transforma- tion of that earlier, sometimes immature, inspiration into what inspires us today. For we do need inspiration to continue to study, to research, to stand up in the classroom and teach. What is that inspiration? Our love of our subject? Our desire to make this world a better place? A response to some sense of a “divine calling?” Whatever our understanding of our own academic “calling,” these faculty seminars are extremely important for building community among ourselves, for fostering the sparks of teaching and research in one another, for a clearer understanding of the role we play in the lives of one another, our students’ lives and the life of the wider human community. All of us were deeply touched by the tragic fire this past year that claimed the lives of three of our Seton Hall students, Frank Caltabilota, John Giunta and Aaron Karol, and wounded many more. I would hope that through faculty seminars and colloquia, like the present one, we can come to see our roles as faculty in the healing and human development of our community. I am particularly pleased by the ecumenical and inter-religious dimensions of these seminars. I would encourage our faculty to look ahead to next year’s Center for Catholic Studies Summer Seminar which will be on the topic of “The University and the Core Curriculum,” Monday, June 4 through Thursday, June 7, 2001. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ......................................................................................................................................................... i Mel Shay, Provost Introduction ................................................................................................................................................1 Agnes Hooper Gottlieb, Editor, Associate Professor of Communication I Have Called You By Name: Spirituality and the Academic Vocation ..................................................3 Elizabeth Johns, Facilitator, Chair, History of Art Department, University of Pennsylvania Themes and Readings for Summer Seminar 2000 ..................................................................................7 Spirituality and the Academic Vocation ...................................................................................................9 Richard M.

  • Survivors Still Push Fire Safety 20 Years After Seton Hall Blaze Hannan Adely, Northjersey.Com Published 5:30 A.M
    'Second chance at life': Survivors still push fire safety 20 years after Seton Hall blaze Hannan Adely, NorthJersey.com Published 5:30 a.m. ET Jan. 16, 2020 A pre-dawn blaze tore through a freshman dorm at Seton Hall University 20 years ago on Jan. 19, killing three students and injuring 58 others in a tragedy that brought national attention to campus fire safety and drove colleges and states to ramp up fire prevention practices and laws. Despite reforms, the fight for safety continues, say survivors of the fire and advocates who are pressing for more student education programs, expanded sprinkler mandates and other measures they argue will save lives. Among those advocates are Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, who were badly burned in the fire on Seton Hall's South Orange campus and who have dedicated their lives to preventing similar tragedies. 20 years have passed since the Seton Hall dorm fire that killed three and injured 58. Survivors Alvaro Llanos (left) and Shawn Simons are working to promote fire safety on campuses across the U.S. Llanos and Simons on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, outside of Boland Hall, where the fire took place. (Photo: Michael Karas/NorthJersey.com) “Sometimes sacrifices have to be made,” said Simons, 38, of Roselle. “If it didn’t happen to us at Seton Hall, maybe it would have happened at Rutgers or maybe at Fairleigh Dickinson, where maybe 30 people die, and not three die. It had to happen to make things a lot safer for students.” Today, Simons and Llanos tour colleges and high schools in the United States and Canada to talk about fire safety and overcoming adversity.

    C OMMENCEMENT 2003 Celebration and Remembrance t was a day filled with celebration for the 2,047 1. 2. Igraduates who received their degrees during Seton Hall University’s 146th Commencement Exercises on May 12. But the joy - ous occasion also was bittersweet, as the Seton Hall community honored the three fallen members of the Class of 2003 — Frank Caltabilota, John Giunta and Aaron Karol. Family members accepted memorial degrees on behalf of the three young men while three 3. candles brightly burned in remem - brance and hope. 1. Citing the many personal and professional challenges he has faced since his own graduation in 1965, William F. Baker, Ph.D., president and CEO of Thirteen/WNET, shared four keys to success with the Class of 2003: ethics, education, faith and community. “These four factors, alone or in combination, have equipped me to pass any test,” Baker said in his Commencement Address. “I urge you to cultivate them in your own lives, so that they may serve you as life’s challenges begin to come your way.” Baker, to whom Seton Hall awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree, has shaped American broadcasting in both the commercial and public sectors. A strong advocate for the educational potential of television, he has served as president and CEO of Thirteen/WNET New 4. York since 1987. Among the numerous honors he has received for his work as a producer are seven Emmy awards. 2.
