Newsbriefs (summer 2006)
Undergraduate is first U.S. Intern at Aushwitz museum
Jody Manning '07 spent summer 2005 working as the first U.S. intern at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and State Museum in Poland. Manning is back at the museum this summer, with the support of a Holocaust and Genocide Studies internship stipend from Clark, and has applied for a research fellowship. He aims to conduct a multigenerational study of the townspeople of Auschwitz, assessing the effects of postwar memory on their lives.
Manning is an unconventional student who came to Clark and to the museum internship through unconventional means. After attending college in his native Ohio, Manning became a successful businessman and restaurateur‹even winning an international competition for his original cocktail recipes. During a trip to Europe, he visited the sites of six former Nazi
concentration camps, including the former death camp at Auschwitz. The visit changed his life, Manning says, prompting him to approach several museums seeking a position. He was advised to return to school. Inquiries at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum led him to Clark's renowned Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
In 2004, Manning enrolled as a European history major and later participated in the Clark Prague-Terezin program. ³Having to debate, discuss and comprehend other opinions and views with diverse students of various backgrounds is an amazing learning experience,² he says.
After completing the Prague-Terezin program, Manning remained in Poland and was accepted for the prestigious and challenging summer internship at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oswiecim.
"The staff truly took me in as part of their family," he recalls. His many tasks included proofreading the permanent exhibition and texts at the museum, developing correspondence and assisting with a variety of post-graduate conferences, lectures and seminars. During the internship, Manning also adhered to an academic program that included keeping a weekly journal and conducting archival and other research. He wrote two papers, "Nazi Racial Hygiene and the Auschwitz Waffen-SS Hygiene Institute" and "The History and Structure of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oswiecim."
Of his summer in Poland, Manning writes: "The personal, emotional and academic knowledge that I gained and experienced in that small town of Oswiecim has been the most profound of my study."
Clark shines at AAG annual meeting
Clark's Graduate School of Geography and undergraduate geography program were represented well at the annual meetings of the Association of American Geographers, held in Chicago in March. Fifteen faculty members, 23 graduate students and 11 undergraduates made presentations. And, in what is becoming the norm for Clark geography, several graduate and undergraduate students earned awards for their scholarship.
Ph.D. graduate student Waquar Ahmed (adviser Richard Peet) earned best student paper from the Urban Geography Specialty Group. Chris Lippitt '05 (adviser John Rogan and Clark Labs), who earned a master's degree in the Accelerated B.A./Master's Degree Program in geographic information science, earned best student paper from the Geographic Information and Science and Systems Specialty Group Honors Competition.
Undergraduate students took home the following awards. They are all Human Environment Research Observatory fellows.
- Troy Hill '06 (adviser Colin Polsky), best student paper from the Water Resources Specialty Group undergraduate paper competition.
- Sara Assesfa '07, Laura Merner '08, Kate del Vecchio '07 and Isaac Payano '07 (adviser Polsky), best student poster from the Water Resources Specialty Group undergraduate poster competition.
- John Connors '06 (adviser Gil Pontius), second place in the Remote Sensing Specialty Group in the Student Illustrated Paper Competition. All other awards in this category went to graduate students.
- Ryan Frazier '06 and Trevor Jones '05, M.A. '06 (adviser Rogan), selected for the Remote Sensing Specialty Group in the Student Illustrated Paper Competition.
In addition, three sessions at the annual meeting were devoted to the contributions of Clark geographer Richard Peet, and B.L. Turner II was featured in the President's Plenary Session. Clark hosted a special reception for students, faculty and alumni. Approximately 150 attended the event, most of them alumni.
Dwork advises "Letters to Sala" exhibit
Letters to a Jewish inmate in a Nazi concentration camp?
Debórah Dwork, Rose Professor of Holocaust History and founding director of the Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and her co-author, Robert Jan van Pelt, Distinguished University Professor at the University of Waterloo and a great friend of the Strassler Center, explain how this was possible in Ann Kirchner's "Letters to Sala" exhibit at the New York Public Library. This compelling exhibition of a unique cache of Holocaust-era letters and photographs received by Kirchner's mother, Sala Garncarz, illuminates Garncarz's life from the time she entered a labor camp in 1940 until her liberation in 1945.
Dwork served as adviser to Kirchner and Curator Jill Vexler. An illustrated companion book, "Letters to Sala: A Young Woman's Life in Nazi Labor Camps," features the story of Garncarz's internment and liberation and an essay on Garncarz's world by Dwork and van Pelt.
The exhibit was on view at the New York Public Library's Humanities and Social Sciences Library through June 17. More information about the exhibit appears at www.nypl.org/press/2006/salaarchive.cfm. The illustrated companion book is available for purchase through the Library Shop (www.thelibraryshop.org).

Cordova receives second-largest faculty research grant
James Córdova, associate professor of psychology, was recently awarded a five-year grant totaling more than $1 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This grant‹the second largest faculty research grant ever received by a Clark professor‹supports Córdova's research on "Indicated Treatment and Prevention of Marital Deterioration in At-Risk Couples." The grant will run through 2011, with $221,638 in the first year.
Córdova, who joined the Clark faculty in 2002, will use the grant to study the efficacy of an intervention he developed called the marriage checkup. The marriage checkup is designed to help couples learn more about the health of their marriage and whether their relationship is showing any early signs of common marital health problems.
"The goal of the marriage checkup is to help couples identify strengths and weaknesses early, before the strengths erode and the weaknesses corrode the foundations of their marriages," Córdova explains.
In the face of high marriage failure rates, this research has widespread implications. For example, the risk of divorce for first marriages is estimated at approximately 50 percent and at approximately 60 percent for second marriages. Córdova notes that although there are relationship education programs for premarital and newlywed couples and many approaches to marital therapy, few couples take advantage of the former and the latter is often too little, too late. In fact, he adds, although marital therapy has been proven decisively effective, only a small percentage of unhealthy couples ever pursue it.
The marriage checkup, on the other hand, is akin to a dental checkup or physical health checkup and is available to all couples, regardless of how long they have been together or how healthy or unhealthy their marriage may be currently.
"We assess the health of their marriage based on the latest scientific research and give the couple feedback about their strengths and weaknesses," Córdova says. "The goal is to catch any emerging marital health issues early enough that they don't cause any permanent damage and early enough that the couple can likely improve their marital health on their own, without the need for costly treatment or even costlier divorce."
Through the marriage checkup, he adds, couples can also learn about other marriage health practices to increase the health and resiliency of their marriages and families. With the support of the NIH, Córdova is able to conduct the largest and most rigorous test of the marriage checkup, which will provide the evidence needed to determine whether the marriage checkup works well enough to be used more widely by the general public.
2006 graduate becomes first alum to attend American Film Institute
Scott Silver '06 will make Clark history when he attends the American Film Institute (AFI) in Hollywood, Calif., this fall. Silver is the first Clark alumnus to attend the prestigious film school. Fortunately for Clark, the University was able to reap the benefits of his talent.
Silver brings to AFI an eight-minute DVD he produced as part of his senior honors thesis in screen studies. "Clark University: Beyond the Tour" was unveiled to the Clark community at Academic Spree Day on April 26, and it is currently being distributed by Clark's Admissions Office to thousands of prospective students.
Silver was eager to work with members of the administration at Clark on a DVD that would capture social life at the University.
"When students look at Clark, they already know all the facts about its academic excellence," he said. "When you come to campus, you get a feel for the buildings and the scenery but not truly for the school."
When his brother started receiving DVDs from other colleges, Silver set out to create a DVD to capture the essence of Clark. Silver thought a DVD would be more effective than a printed brochure and would better highlight student clubs and organizations on campus, as well as the benefits of friendships and daily contact with students from all over the world. Silver, who has produced corporate videos, party DVDs and a video for his high school in Waco, Texas, said his latest project took a lot more time than he anticipated. Although he spent 500 hours filming and editing footage, he still "loved every second of it."
"I found it very easy to create this video because of my views of the University," said Silver.
Timothy Shary, associate professor of screen studies, advised the project and calls Silver's DVD "highly dynamic and very creative," stating it "celebrates Clark students and their active roles on campus and in the community." Shary was excited to hear that Scott was accepted into AFI, the most competitive film school in the country.
"We are extremely proud of Scott, who is our sixth screen studies student in the past four years to go on to a prominent graduate film program," says Shary. "I have no doubt that Scott will further develop his impressive talents at the AFI, especially in his area of expertise, editing."
Miller, Overvold participate in EU Conference
Mark Miller, government professor and director of Clark's Law and Society Program, and philosophy professor Gary Overvold participated in a conference on "The European Constitutional Treaty: The Processes of Ratification and the Actors in a Public European Space," on May 8 and 9 at the offices of the European Commission in Luxembourg. Overvold was a member of the organizing committee for the conference, which was co-sponsored by the Leir Luxembourg Program, the University of Luxembourg and the Catholic University of Louvain la Neuve, Belgium.
This conference followed a larger conference co-organized by Overvold in February 2005. Both conferences focused on the proposed Constitutional Treaty of the European Union. This year's conference examined more specifically the updating of the ratification processes in more than half of the members of the European Union. The Constitutional Treaty must be endorsed by all 25 members before it comes into force.
In addition to co-organizing this year's conference, Overvold also chaired the last session of the conference and delivered the closing remarks on behalf of the organizing committee on the issue of the Constitutional Treaty and inter-university collaboration. Miller presented a paper titled "The United States of America and the European Union: Distinct Models of Constitutional Union?" in which he compared the ratification process for the U.S. Constitution with that of the proposed European Constitutional Treaty. Both Overvold's and Miller's participation in the conference was supported by a grant from the Leir Program.
To the editor
Bravo to Clark's director of Residential Life and Housing and her staff for creating opportunities for students to establish, nurture and promote individualized living environments at Clark. As a student-affairs professional with many years of experience as director of Residential Life at a small college, I understand the challenges involved in empowering students to create positive residential environments. These environments are a terrific example of what makes Clark special‹the opportunity to contribute actively to your college experience on a daily basis both in and outside of the classroom and research setting.

Undergraduate earns Compton Fellowship
Virginia Cooke '06 has been awarded a prestigious Compton Mentor Fellowship to conduct needs assessments and research for one year in Nicaragua. Cooke is one of only five graduating college students nationwide to receive this fellowship and is the fifth Clark student in four years to be awarded a Compton Fellowship.
In Nicaragua, Cooke will work with a community running a needs assessment workshop. The group will consist of former banana-plantation workers who are afflicted with diseases from working with a highly toxic pesticide in the fields. Roughly 7,000 former workers have filed health complaints with the Nicaraguan government. A smaller group of 2,000 moved into a squatter settlement in the capital city of Managua to lobby the Nicaraguan government for support and compensation. While in Nicaragua in 2005, and with the support from the woman who is now her Compton mentor, Kathy McBride, Cooke worked with members of this squatter community to create informational pamphlets about their struggle.
During her fellowship, Cooke will work with residents of this settlement in Managua to implement a project that addresses their most urgent needs. She will be assisted and supported by McBride, a professor and local development practitioner. Cooke anticipates several potential projects, such as an alternative education program for the children in the settlement. She will conclude her field work by establishing an organizing committee of community members to continue working on the project.
The Compton Mentor Fellowship Program is the only Compton Foundation program with a focus on graduating college students from the United States. The one-year fellowship comes with a $35,000 stipend to implement a self-directed project, allowing recipients to contribute their talents and energy to real-world challenges. Each fellow has a mentor, who provides guidance, encouragement and impetus for continued learning and service.
What's playing?
Hollywood has been fascinated with the college experience for a long time, from silent-era romps such as Harold Lloyd's "The Freshman" to that classic portrait of postcollegiate life "The Graduate." The novelist whose work was adapted into the 1967 film, Charles Webb, announced this May that he's planning to write a sequel in which the title character works to home school his children. Curiously, according to Webb, what the film missed was his original emphasis on education.
Indeed, the actual educational process is minimized in almost all films about schooling, since comedy and drama tend to be the domain of extracurricular activity. And college, movies tell us, is about much more than classroom learning. After 1967, we see this demonstrated in depictions of relationships, sports and, of course, partying. And many movies, like "The Graduate," only explore the impact of college after commencement.
I offer here a brief account of some films that actually do focus on their characters' educations, reminding us that college can still foster intellectual growth.
Some of you may recall "The Paper Chase" as such a film, in which Timothy Bottoms played a hard-working law student at HarvardŠbut it's really about grad school, not college. That same year, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford starred in "The Way We Were," examining campus politics before the 1960s despite concluding that radical thinking can be depressing.
Call me a child of the 1980s, but my vote for the first film that really explored‹and critiqued‹college learning was "Real Genius," in which Val Kilmer played a prodigy so skilled with laser technology that he is ultimately exploited by the military. And the following year featured Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School," a revisionist comedy that revealed the charade of Reagan-era capitalism as our wealthy hero pursues the degree he could never earn before.
The 1990s brought us a few more films devoted to actual college learning, such as "With Honors," in which homeless Joe Pesci ascends to a Harvard education, and later, even though Matt Damon's title character was far beyond college, "Good Will Hunting." At least these films made learning look liberating. The didactic "Higher Learning" had ambitious director John Singleton trying to simultaneously address about a dozen controversial campus issues, leaving viewers numb.
Yet one more recent film managed to successfully combine the clichés of pedagogical prowess with gender politics: "Mona Lisa Smile." I did not want to like the film for its often reactionary way of treating the quasi-feminist art history professor played by Julia Roberts, but its celebration of learning and the fact that our heroine pursues revolution in her teaching makes it one of the most inspiring college movies in years.
And college should inspire us as much as it teaches us.
What's playing? is a new column in Clarknews. In each issue, Clark professor Tim Shary will share his thoughts on films that relate to the content of the magazine.
Fulbright Fellowship takes IDCE alumna to China
Kristie Smith M.A. '06, who earned her master's degree in international development and social change, was recently awarded a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship to travel to China to research "The Dance of Uyghur Women in Modern China."
Smith will explore the dances of Uyghur women in Xinjiang, China, examining where, how and why Uyghur women express themselves through this medium and the stories told within the dance. In addition, she will explore how the stories and dancing have been modified in response to various cultural and economic trends in the region and document the changes that have altered the meanings of the dance. With the support of Xinjiang Art Institute in Uruumqi, Smith will examine new ways of understanding what these traditional dances mean in terms of history, culture and Uyghur ethnic identity.
The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and is the largest U.S. international exchange program offering opportunities for students, scholars and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide.
Q&A with Clark Fund Director Bill Bennett M.P.A. '97
Bill Bennett M.P.A. '97, who has been Clark's Alumni Affairs director for the past 16 years, was recently named director of the Clark Fund. Bennett is a longtime supporter of Clark and is a member of the Jonas Clark Fellows. In the following Q&A, Bennett discusses the importance of giving back to Clark.
CN: Why do you give to the Clark Fund?
Bennett: Ever since I started working at Clark in 1990, I was impressed with what the University offered its students, faculty and community. I realize that every dollar can make a difference at Clark. It's important that, as a Jonas Clark Fellow myself, I stretch my giving to Clark, just as I ask others to do the same.
CN: Why should alumni give to the Clark Fund?
Bennett: Every dollar makes a difference to Clark students and faculty. In addition, the percentage of our alumni donating to the Clark Fund can make or break grant applications to foundations and corporations. These sources are more likely to support institutions that have the support of their alumni and friends. Finally, with over 80 percent of students receiving financial aid, it's important that alumni help others who are now in their shoes. One can't help but see how financial support can make such a difference in one student's life.
CN: What specific programs does the Clark Fund support?
Bennett: Your Clark Fund gifts support scholarships and research, as well as important programs and departments that make Clark a vibrant and active campus. The Clark Fund also supports merit scholarships, which help Clark attract the highest quality students.
CN: What if there were no Clark Fund?
Bennett: Clark would certainly see a decrease in the number of high quality and diverse students. Important programs would be hurt due to the loss of funds. A number of students would not be allowed to continue in their research, nor would several faculty.
CN: What would you say to alumni to convince them to give to the Clark Fund?
Bennett: Give back to the University that has given you so much. We need your support both in participation levels, as well as in gifts. I see faculty creating academic initiatives that would not be possible without the Clark Fund. I see students affecting the world in meaningful ways. We are challenging convention and changing our world‹thanks to the Clark Fund and your support.
Clark community remembers Alan Jones
Chemistry Professor Alan Jones died May 23. Professor Jones was known best at Clark for his research in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and his commitment as a mentor of undergraduate and graduate students.
Professor Jones received his B.A. with High Honors in chemistry from Colgate University in 1966 and his Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Wisconsin in 1972. He conducted two years of postdoctoral work at Dartmouth College working with the late Walter J. Stockmayer in polymer science.
He became an assistant professor of chemistry at Clark in 1974 and rose quickly through the ranks to full Professor in 1983. He served as chairman of the department during much of the 1980s and served a term as University Professor from 1996-1999. Professor Jones also served as Dean of Graduate Studies and Research from 1993-95 and Acting Provost during 1987-88.
Professor Jones' research focused on the properties of modern polymeric/plastic materials and polymer dynamics and the study of those properties through the use of solid state NMR spectroscopy. He published more than 100 scholarly articles on this subject. His work was supported for many years by the National Science Foundation, the Naval Research Office, the Petroleum Research Fund and the Army Research Office. His research group had an ongoing relationship with many major corporate research centers including General Electric, Eastman Chemicals, Xerox and Exxon. He was involved with private foundations in obtaining funds to enhance the sciences at Clark with major scientific equipment acquisitions and infrastructure. As a consequence of his leadership, the University and, in particular, the Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry gained national recognition as a Center for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. He made presentations and organized scientific symposia on the national and international stage in his field.
Professor Jones worked with research students at all levels and was especially well known as a mentor to undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students, as well as to new faculty, during his 32 years at Clark. Widely regarded as an exceptional teacher, he received the University's Outstanding Teacher Award in 1988.
Beyond his work at Clark, Professor Jones devoted much of his life to guiding youth of all ages. He enjoyed teaching children skiing and snowboarding, coaching basketball teams, helping with homework, and doing chemistry demonstrations at local schools. Professor Jones was also an avid gardener who transformed his lakefront yard into a wondrous and meticulously maintained garden.
His wife of 34 years, Eunice (Li) Jones, is grateful for her husband's love and for the travel experiences they shared together, made possible by his adventurous spirit. Professor Jones is also survived by two brothers, Brad Jones of New York and Bruce Jones of Cleveland, Ohio; nephews and nieces; and his two dogs, Duncan and Sadie.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to Clark University in memory of Dr. Alan A. Jones, 950 Main St., Worcester, MA 01610.
Academic Spree Day popular as ever
Hundreds of students participated in the 16th-annual Academic Spree Day, held throughout campus on April 28. This annual showcase of undergraduate scholarship and creative endeavors continues to be one of Clark's great traditions. This year's event included more than 100 poster presentations and more than 30 panel discussions and honors thesis presentations, plus music and theater performances and film presentations. A full listing of these outstanding projects is available online at www.clarku.edu/ASD2006.
Students present papers at Shakespeare conference
Two Clark undergraduates presented papers at the fifth-annual Central Massachusetts Undergraduate Shakespeare Conference, hosted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute on April 23. Krisha Hoyt '06 presented a paper on "The Changing Definition of Tragedy and History in 'Richard III' and 'Julius Caesar.'" Samantha Keefe '07 presented "'Hath Not a Jew Ojos?' International Productions of 'The Merchant of Venice' and What They Say About Culture."
Some 34 students from 14 different colleges and universities across New England submitted proposals for panel presentations. Eighteen were selected by a jury of Shakespeare professors from the Colleges of Worcester Consortium institutions. In addition to student presentations, the conference included a talk by Douglas Lanier, associate professor of English at the University of New Hampshire, and a demonstration of early modern weaponry and sword fighting by staff from Worcester's Higgins Armory Museum.
