The Fount THE CITADEL SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES NEWSLETTER SPRING 2014- Vol. 10 Iss. 2 Note from the Dean Dear Alumni and Friends,

Two themes run through most of my introductory notes to these newsletters. They are appropriate for this one as well.

One is that the students and the faculty of the School of Humanities & Social Sciences have long been, and continue to be, the most dynamic and productive academic unit on campus. Below, for example, you’ll read about the accomplishments of Julie Lipovsky and Nolan Moore (recipients of this year’s Al- gernon Sydney Sullivan Awards for faculty and students respectively), Jack Porter (winner of the Grim- sley Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and the 11th of our professors in the last 13 years to be so honored ), Collin Hicks (this year’s Regimental Commander), Preston Hipps (recipient of the David Shindler Spell Second Honor Graduate Award who is on his way to study first on a one-year Ful- bright Scholarship to Mexico and then at the Harvard School of Law), Matthew Bernard (who has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study in Malaysia), and Erin Bucherl and Elizabeth Stephenson (who have been awarded equally prestigious Boren scholarships to study in Tanzania and China, respectively). You’ll also read about other of our professors and students who organized special, campus-wide programs involving Rick Atkinson (Pulitzer-Prize winning author of the Liberation Trilogy) , Robert Ed- sel (author of Monuments Men and advisor to movie of the same name), national experts from the De- partment of Homeland Security, and leading authorities on the politics of the American South.

The second theme is that these, and the other accomplishments about which you’ll read, were made possible by contributions made to The Citadel Foundation and its SHSS Dean’s Excellence Fund. In an era when the percentage of the college’s operating costs from state appro- priations continues to shrink into the single digits, those contributions (in denominations small or large) are ever more critical to The Citadel’s success. Thanks for keeping us in mind. And have a great summer!

Best regards,

Winfred B. Moore, Jr., Ph.D., Colonel SCM, Dean of Humanities & Social Sciences

April 3rd - “The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History”

Author Robert Edsel packed the house for the largest Fine Arts event to date at The Citadel. Nearly 1500 attendees filled McAlister Field House on the evening of April 3rd for the memorable talk by Edsel. Opening up the evening was a surprise guest appearance by Charleston local, Bill Murray. Murray who was one of the stars of the movie Monuments Men, based on the book, welcomed the crowd.

Robert Edsel is a New York Times bestselling author and shared with those in attendance his experience uncovering the most comprehensive art theft of all time, when Adolf Hitler looted thousands of significant artistic masterpieces throughout Europe during World War II. His book tells the incredible true story of the Monuments Men, a small group of art experts-turned-soldiers assembled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These unlikely heroes bravely went be- hind enemy lines to locate and recover mankind’s greatest artifacts, saving them from imminent destruction by the Nazis.

The book inspired the movie directed by and starring George Clooney along with Matt Damon and Bill Murray.

Internship Program This year, the Department of Political Science initiated an expansion of its Internship Program to provide more students with a greater variety of meaningful “real world” experiences prior to graduation. Interns are generally junior and seniors who excel in their academic studies and are prepared to apply the knowledge they gain from the classroom to organizations where they can learn more about the political and legal fields. In Spring 2014, ten students (nine cadets and one veteran student) participated in program which was overseen by Dr. Terry Mays. Each participant prepared a weekly journal of their experiences as well as a final paper that documented their most meaningful contribution to the organization where they interned. Some of these students interned with law offices while others worked with politicians or con- tractors working for politicians. Two of the students interned under the Political Science British Parliament Internship Program which will be featured in an upcoming School of Humanities and Social Sciences newsletter. Two other students completed internships related to South Cadet Sam Thomas worked for an Carolina’s senators in the US Congress. organization overseeing the re- election campaign for Senator Model NATO Lindsey Graham. Despite a historic snowstorm and challenging weather conditions, six Citadel cadets travelled to Washington, DC in February to participate in the 29th annual International Model NATO Conference. The conference simulates an annual NATO ministerial meeting in order to help students better understand the challenges and complexities associ- ated with multilateral security decision-making in the 21st century. In addition to this overall objective, each school represents a specific NATO member and students develop an expertise in their respective country’s security decision-making process and key security concerns. This year, The Citadel represented the Federal Republic of Germany and did an admirable job of promoting Germany’s defense concerns.

Events April 14th – Jeb Bush VS Hillary Clinton: 2016 “A Virtual Campaign” Visiting Professor, Don Fowler, divided the students from his “Strategy and Tactics in Campaigns” course into two 10 member teams to hold a mock campaign for the presumed 2016 Election with candidates Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.

The students held positions as candidates, chairmen, field organizers, political directors, media handlers, schedulers, advance men and researchers. Chris Drummond and Lach- lan McIntosh stepped in as unpaid consultants for each side.

The two hour debate covered many of the issues that will likely play a role in the actual 2016 election. This was the first year the debate has been done and will likely be repeated Republican team during the debate. next year. ONE at The Citadel Alex Knisley, class of ’15 is the Campus Leader for ONE at The Citadel. ONE is a grassroots movement that advocates for smart humanitarian aid programs with more than 3 million members nationwide. It is a nonpartisan organization that does not take money. ONE uses the power of their collec- tive voices to educate and ask that the public and politicians support life- saving programs within our government.

Alex recently attended a conference in Washington D.C. called the “ONE Power Summit.” Alex heard from ONE’s co-founder, Bono of U2 and met Knisley & other delegates with Senator Tim Scott with leaders from around the world. He also met with South Carolina representatives Senator Tim Scott, Senator Lindsey Graham, Representative James Clyburn and Representative Mick Mulvaney. Alex represented the Citadel well at the five-day conference. Outstanding Faculty During Spring semester, Dr. Terry Mays of the Department of Political Science traveled twice to Europe. During Spring Break, Dr. Mays conducted research in the Irish National Archives in Dublin. The project centered on gathering cabinet records related to Ireland’s surprisingly large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Ireland sat as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and the Irish cabinet conducted considerable internal debate Knisley to the right of Senator Lindsey Graham related to balancing the country’s official policy of neutrality with American re- quests to back the United States position on the Crisis within the global body. The Irish cabinet also debated an American request to perform “health and welfare” inspections of East European civilian aircraft bound for Cuba and stopping at Ireland’s Shannon airport for refueling. The gem of the research was locating the personal letter President Kennedy sent to Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Lemass during the Crisis expressing the American need for Irish political support in the United Nations. In April, Dr. Terry Mays presented a paper on American and British military cooperation at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst in the United Kingdom.

The pictures attached show the 5 in- Mock Trial terns in their roles with the agencies as follows: Glayverth Silva (Sheriff's Department); Sgt. Ramos (DEA) and Amy Dunham (Parole and Probation). All of the interns have been extremely successful and have enjoyed working in the "real world" of criminal justice. Agency supervisors have commented that the interns represented The Citadel in a positive manner and demonstrated excellent growth potential in future professional work. Sgt. Ramos for instance, will be continuing his internship this summer at the DEA. I am honored to have started this program for the evening undergraduates!

Edwin Lugo Mr. Lugo took 15 Cadets, all members of the Criminal Justice Society, to a site visit of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Fed- eral Law Enforcement Training Center, in Charleston.

NCBI—Train the Trainer In January, 2014, history was made when The Citadel’s National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) Team collabo- rated with the Team at the Medical University of South Carolina to participate in an NCBI 3-day Train-the- Trainer. Led by NCBI leaders Robert Dungey and Joyce Shabazz, head of the NCBI program at the Citadel, Julie Lipovsky and participants from these two institutions col- laborated to enhance their successful programs.

The Citadel’s NCBI team formed in 2012 to support the college’s plan to address diversity issues. Consistent with the school’s mission, and in recognizing the importance of leadership in a diverse world, The Citadel’s NCBI program is now a vital part of the school’s inclusion and equity efforts. While still in its infancy, The Citadel’s NCBI team has been successful in introducing more than 120 participants to NCBI principles and skills through eight “Welcoming Diversity” workshops. Not surprisingly, par- NCBI group ticipants’ responses have been overwhelmingly positive.

Sixteen faculty, staff, and students participated in the recent Train-the-Trainer, increasing The Citadel’s capacity to offer NCBI Welcoming Diversity workshops and other NCBI programs. With a new group of team members, the NCBI Team is poised to continue success by providing leadership in inclusion and equity to all corners of our campus.
