  • New Fall 2013
    FALL 2013 NEWSLETTER A message from San Duanmu, CCS Interim Director, 2012-13 Dear CCS Community, ast year, two major changes took place at the College and the International Institute, which have affected CCS in various ways. First, initiated by the Provost’s Office, Dennison is being transformed, from a heavily used but unattractive teaching building to an exemplar, modern, and multicultural learning center, to which all units of II are scheduled to move, including CCS. LThe final plan is still in the works. For example, we do not know how much space or what kind of space CCS will have. On the other hand, there are exciting new opportunities. For example, the combination of offices, classrooms, research events, and social space in the same building will be a great improvement from the current situation. In addition, space for visitors and study/meeting areas will likely promote interac- tions among faculty, students, and visitors. The other major change is prompted by budget cuts at various levels, in particular the continued decrease in Title IV funds from the Department of Education, which many II centers reply on. In response, the College decided to implement a new staff structure for II that is sustainable even without Title IV funds. In the new structure, each center is left with one full-time staff person (in the case of CCS, it is Ena Schlorff), and everyone else is moved to ‘shared services’. Under special circumstances, a center may request to hire additional staff, with the center’s own money. During the transition, CCS had to make some adjustments.

  • THE CHINA INSTITUTE Dean Say’S Message the Year of the Sheep Is Said to Herald a Year of Promise and Prosperity, Kindness and Benevolence
    THE CHINA INSTITUTE Dean Say’s Message The Year of the Sheep is said to herald a year of promise and prosperity, kindness and benevolence. These are qualities long shared between CSUN’s China Institute and its many partners in China. Over the past 33 years the China Institute has cultivated strong and meaningful relationships with 67 Chinese institutions of higher education, and as a result scores of CSUN students have been awarded full scholarships to pursue their dreams of studying abroad at a versatile array of universities and technical schools. Beginning in the Fall semester, we will welcome a new faculty member who will join our China Studies program and further develop opportunities for our students to study Chinese language and culture. I want to take this opportunity to recognize and thank the China Institute, our Chinese higher education partners, and CSUN’s Tseng College of Graduate, International, and Midcareer Education for their tireless work in moving our students’ academic and career goals forward. And I want to wish everyone a most Dean Say and Dr. Su wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous Year of the Sheep! successful Year of the Sheep!

    CREIGHTON PREP ALUMNI NEWS MEET MICHAEL MICHAEL GIAMBELLUCA IS PREP'S NEW PRESIDENT ATHLETIC RECORD ENROLLMENT ALUMNI IN THE SUMMER 2013 10 FOR 2013 12 HALL OF FAME 24 WORKPLACE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings I feel blessed and energized to be writing you as I begin my tenure as the 32nd president of Creighton Prep, a school whose formative mission, exceptional quality, loyal following and supportive atmosphere remind me so much of Jesuit High School in New Orleans, where I recently completed my 12th year as principal. Both school communities are so very blessed in so many ways. As I begin my work at Prep, I want to thank the Creighton Prep Governing Board, the Search Committee, my predecessor Father Andy Alexander, S.J. ’66, Tim McIntire at Carney Sandoe & Associates and all the Prep constituents who took the time to be part of the very thorough process that helped select and transition me to my role as president, a position from which I will be honored and humbled to serve a community that means so much to so many people, a community that has already been so welcoming to my wife Donnamaria and me. On page four of this Alumni News, you can find out more about the selection process and my background as well as some of my reflections on education and my priorities going forward. As mentioned there, I will be focused on advancing the mission of Prep for and through all members of our school community. As I begin my tenure, I will be doing a great deal of listening and learning about this wonderful institution, and this process will result in us both celebrating what we are doing well and improving upon what we might be able to do better.

CISSMUN attendee Alan Deutsch sighed and muttered, “obligatory.” If we, the people who choose to participate in a UN simulation, don’t even have a favorable view of the UN, then what’s the point? What’s the point of MUN if we can’t even agree that the UN is important? The value of MUN is not in the Model of the United Nations.
