The building is scheduled to be completed in 2017. $40 Million Business Building Breaks Ground Business students at UMass Lowell will study in a brand new facility with a four-story atrium, a big-screen LED, streaming stock ticker and technology-enhanced classrooms in a building for which a groundbreaking was held in May. The Pulichino Tong Business Building, which will be home to the university’s Manning School of Business when it is completed in 2017, will become a key component in the continuing transformation of the North Campus. The $40 million building will be named for UMass Lowell grad- uate John Pulichino ’67, ’14 (H) and his wife, Joy Tong ’14 (H), successful entrepreneurs in the travel-goods industry who have donated $4 million to student scholarships. UMass Lowell leaders envision that the new building will complete an innovation district dedicated to business education and scientific research and development in support of the region’s economy. The building will serve UMass Lowell’s growing population of undergraduate and graduate students studying accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, international business, management and operations and information systems. The centerpiece of the 52,000-square-foot Pulichino Tong Business Building will be the atrium, which will overlook an outdoor plaza formed by the new and existing buildings, creating more green space on North Campus. The new building’s other features will include a finance labora- tory designed to simulate on-the-job experiences in the business world, such as a trading room and high-tech classrooms and seminar rooms that can accommodate more than 400 students. n 2 UMASS LOWELL MAGAZINE SUMMER 2014 SUMMER 2014 UMASS LOWELL MAGAZINE 3 Ourworld Campus Life Inside... 5 OUR WORLD 11 COMMENCEMENT 16 STUDENT SCENE 18 SPORTS UPDATE 22 LAB NOTES On Our Honor: New Opportunities for Students Chemical engineering student Steven Jacek ’16 says that thanks to the honors program at UMass Lowell, he’s been able to expand his brain power—and his social life. “Meeting best friends who are just as likely to take a pingpong match way too seriously as Following a yearlong, student-driven argue about the atomic weight of nickel is a wonderful thing,” he says. campaign to clear the air on campus, Starting this fall, Steven and his peers will have many more opportunities for late-night UMass Lowell will become smoke- and debates about chemical elements over the ping pong table.

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

  • Downtown Hotel Is Now Umass Lowell Inn & Conference Center
    UMass FALL 2009 VOLUME 12 NUMBER 2 MAGAZINE Downtown Hotel Is Now UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center A Message from the Chancellor In recent decades, campus “dorms” have evolved from cramped, humdrum quarters with little in the way of amenities or privacy into campus “residence halls” with a greater emphasis on comfort, choice and on-site social and academic support activities. This summer, UMass Lowell took a giant leap forward in the possibilities that campus housing can offer by purchasing the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Lowell and transforming it into the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center, which this fall became home to 400 upper-class students. The purchase and renovation, as you will read in the cover story in this edition of the UMass Lowell Magazine, brings not only much needed housing space, but also provides the opportunity to develop exciting new programs such as living-learning communities. We have been careful to work with the community and ensure that rooms and conference space are available for the public use, which is important to the economic vitality of the City of Lowell. Bringing students downtown will not only help the local economy, it also will lead to valuable and innovative new academic and engagement partnerships with the region. Why would the campus take on such a significant project in the midst of challenging economic times? UMass Lowell continues to be a campus with enormous momentum. Our incoming class last year grew by 23 percent and overall enrollment increased 10 percent. The purchase of the 252-room downtown facility is a strategic investment that will allow us to reach our goal of having 50 percent of our students live on campus.

  • 17Th Annual Conference October 9-11, 2011 University Place Conference Center and Hotel Indianapolis, Indiana WELCOME to the CUMU CONFERENCE
    17th Annual Conference October 9-11, 2011 University Place Conference Center and Hotel Indianapolis, Indiana WELCOME TO THE CUMU CONFERENCE Dear Colleagues: IUPUI is honored to host the 17th Annual Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities Conference Thank you for joining us for “Creating Tomorrow’s Future Today.” As a place with a unique history, IUPUI (Indiana University– Purdue University Indianapolis) was established in 1969 to bring together the academic programs of the state’s two major universities in the state’s capital and largest population center. As the mayor of Indianapolis said at the time, “A great city needs a great university at its heart.” In keeping with that charge, IUPUI has continued to work with community stakeholders to establish Indianapolis as an amateur sports capital, which made it an attractive place for the new NCAA Headquarters. During the conference, NCAA President Mark Emmert will speak, and the Monday networking dinner will be held at the NCAA Hall of Champions, adjacent to the campus. Representatives of the planning committee for Super Bowl 2012, which will be held in Indianapolis, will also be a part of the conference as they discuss the citywide coalition that formed to present the winning Super Bowl bid. Our dynamic and vibrant city has also received national attention with its award-winning “Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick,” part of which runs through campus. Valerie Eickmeier, dean of the Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI, will lead a walking tour of IUPUI’s public art installations. Conference attendees will also have an opportunity to tour the rest of the world-class urban bike and pedestrian path, which connects neighborhoods, cultural districts, and entertainment amenities, even as it serves as the downtown hub for the entire central Indiana greenway system.

  • Musical Theatre in the Mountains: an Examination of West Virginia Public Theatre’S History, Mission, Practices, and Community Impact
    MUSICAL THEATRE IN THE MOUNTAINS: AN EXAMINATION OF WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE’S HISTORY, MISSION, PRACTICES, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. David S. Sollish A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Michael B. Ellison, Advisor Elaine J. Colprit Graduate Faculty Representative Jonathan L. Chambers Ronald E. Shields ii ABSTRACT Michael B. Ellison, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which a professional theatre can impact its community and to provide useful suggestions for young producers hoping to start their own theatre. By using the West Virginia Public Theatre as a case study and by examining its three-part mission (to entertain, to educate, and to improve the quality of life), this study highlights both effective and ineffectual practices conducted by the theatre, its administration, and its staff to ascertain the efficacy of that mission. Furthermore, the numerous voices stemming from my personal interviews with a cross-section of the community have served as a principal source of data from which to analyze the theatre’s impact on the blue-collar, sports- focused society of North Central West Virginia. West Virginia Public Theatre was established in 1985 and since has grown to be a reputable summer stock company. Modeled on the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, West Virginia Public Theatre has developed from a small, unknown theatre performing in a parking lot tent to a well-respected summer stock theatre with aspirations of further developing into a regional company.
