A visit to the Natick Soldier Systems Center is a glimpse into the future. The groundbreaking work undertaken at NSSC in human factors research, human nutrition and textiles research involves more than 65 Framingham State alumni as study directors, research administrators and scientific staff. Many of those alumni remember with great respect, fondness and admiration the guidance and opportunities that Framingham State faculty provided and that led directly to their fascinating careers. Many NSSC alumni describe their passages from college interns to employees to career scientists as the culmination of professional journey that began in a classroom at Framingham State. Other stories in this issue reveal a 21st-century college that is evolving and improving while steadfastly maintaining a personal, supportive and challenging environment. New faculty, new academic programs and new alumni advance the global impact of Framingham State College for years to come. Let us know about your international adventures! Best wishes, Front Cover: by Kent Dayton 100 State Street, PO Box 9101 Framingham, MA 01701-9101 www.framingham.edu 11 This issue of the Framingham State College Magazine highlights and celebrates the college’s global reach and impact. It may seem pretentious for a medium-sized arts and sciences college located in a Boston suburb to claim international import. But as the stories that follow demonstrate, the work of Framingham State College spans the globe. This work includes international experiences of our current students, research and scholarly collaborations of our faculty and staff, and the work of numerous Framingham State alumni in government, business and cultural arenas on all continents.

Killian began her career at NSSC as a student intern and accepted a full-time position upon completion of her Consumer Sciences degree in Fashion Design and Retailing. In the high elevations of Afghanistan the weather is bad— driving snow and bitter-cold wind—but U.S. soldiers there pray for worse because they know it will drive the enemy out of their hiding places in the mountains. And because the troops are wearing high-tech cold-weather suits, they know they can outlast opposition forces and beat them on their own terrain. It might sound like a scene from a sci-fi action movie, but it’s not. The cold-weather suit and the many other leading-edge advances like it are all in a day’s work for a group of dedicated Framingham State College alumni who work at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick (NSSC), a Department of Defense installation 2 w inte r 2 0 1 0 responsible for researching, developing, fielding and managing food, clothing, shelters and airdrop systems for the military. Whether it’s the gear they use, the clothes they wear or the food they eat, the safety and morale of the soldiers is everyone’s priority at NSSC. f ram in gham state co l l ege 3 Especially with a war going on, you really know you’re helping. Kathleen Swift ’88 Linnea Hallberg ’80, ’85 Tina Howard '09 the happy suit Like Tagye, some of the more than 65 Framingham State alumni who work at NSSC are military personnel, but many are civilians. They develop body armor, flotation devices, gas masks, boots, parachutes, skis, MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) and much more. (Some projects they can talk about; others they can’t. Shhh!) But since NSSC’s founding half a century ago, Framingham State graduates have been instrumental in numerous critical new developments—from fabrics treated with insect repellent (so soldiers don’t get malaria) to puncture-proof gloves (so when they come across razor blades and hypodermic needles out in the field, they don’t get injured or infected) to innovative food-airdrop systems (because in the mountains of Afghanistan you can’t just drive up with a truck and deliver hot meals). “It’s a great job,” says William Tagye ’05. “Because you’re so involved from start to finish, you really see how you’re better serving soldiers.” “Especially with a war going on, you really know you’re helping,” says Janice Rosado ’79. “It’s a good feeling. It really makes you feel your job is worthwhile.” Tagye was part of the team that designed the coldweather suit, nicknamed “the happy suit” by the troops who wear it. The garment is actually a fivelayer, 12-piece protective clothing system engineered for cold-climate combat. If she ever needs to be reminded of why her work is important, all Rosado has to do is think of the young soldier who visited Natick recently to address employees. An active-duty Marine since high school, Tagye first heard of NSSC when staff members came to his unit to field-test new modular lightweight load-carriage equipment (MOLLE)—a long-winded way of saying backpack. He found the process so interesting that he applied for a job at Natick. But without college training, he was at a disadvantage. “They said, ‘Welcome aboard. Now go get a degree,’” recalls Tagye, who immediately enrolled in Framingham State’s textile program. “His voice was quivering,” she recalls, “and half the audience teared up as he spoke.” Barely holding his emotions in check, the soldier told how a bullet struck him in the chest, and because he was wearing a vest designed in Natick, he was able to get up and continue to fight. He ended up working at NSSC. comfort food Many alumni who work at NSSC started there as students. Rosado, for example, was simply looking for a summer job between her sophomore and junior year at Framingham State when she heard about the center from a relative who worked there. She showed up for her first day in the food radiation lab, and it turned into a career at NSSC. That was 25 years ago. it’s a go od feeling. It really makes you feel your job is worthwhile. In 1975, Rosado was a member of the first food science class to graduate from Framingham State. Although she now works on other projects, Rosado spent most of her career feeding the troops. So what’s the best thing on the menu? Turns out soldiers like comfort food. “Beef stew and spaghetti have been on the menu for years and years—forever,” says Rosado, “and always will be.” No one cooks like your mother, she adds, but at NSSC, they try. “We try to formulate things to taste as much like home as possible,” says Linnea Hallberg ’80, ’85, who has two food science and nutrition degrees and has been with NSSC for 30 years. “It is very affirming to have soldiers in the field who have been in combat come back and tell us what they love about the food.” Comfort food makes the soldiers feel good, but what keeps them happy, says Tina Howard ’09, is brownies. Howard, a Natick native and registered dietician, joined NSSC less than a year ago. For her and her coworkers, food isn’t only about the taste buds. “Soldiers need to eat to maintain energy and accomplish their mission,” says Howard. “It’s about keeping them happy and getting them what they need.” And here’s one more thing—all military food has to last for three years at 80°F. Not an easy task. But thanks to groundbreaking scientific advances developed by NSSC, Howard and others are up to the challenge. —janice rosado ’79 NSSC Quick Facts global impact Despite NSSC’s local ties, the center’s work has far-reaching impacts. According to Hallberg, NSSC scientists may even collaborate with NASA on developing food with a 5- to 10-year lifespan to be served to astronauts on future trips to Mars. “It’s been an amazing experience,” says Kathleen Swift ’88. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat.” During her 20-year tenure as a clothing designer and project engineer, Swift has tested uniforms in a simulated atomic bomb blast at White Sands, N.M.; undergone war games field training (wearing full uniform, rucksack and face paint while hiding in the bushes waiting to be attacked); and spent two and a half months in New Orleans supervising a volunteer clean-up crew after Hurricane Katrina. Swift will retire from NSSC soon, but she isn’t slowing down. Before she says goodbye, she plans to finish her MBA at Framingham State. While she looks forward to new adventures, she’ll miss the job that gave her the opportunity to touch so many lives. fac i l i t i e s NSSC has 124 buildings located on 174 acres in the town of Natick, Mass., and neighboring communities. Facilities include administration, laboratories, maintenance, storage and housing areas. A self-contained city, NSSC also has a shopette, cafeteria, barbershop, credit union, recreation center and a travel office. The main campus is 78 acres. e c on om i c i m pac t NSSC generates more than 135 million dollars directly into the local economy through salaries, utilities and local contracts. Estimated economic impact of this investment to the local community exceeds 400 million dollars. on - b oa rd st re n g t h ( as of o c t. 3 1 , 2 0 0 8 ) 1,493 96 n s s c te na n ts m i l i ta ry 213 1,148 c on tr ac tor s c i v i l ia n NSSC’s goal is simple—provide America’s soldiers with the best equipment in the world. It’s a mission Framingham State alumni are proud to carry out. “Everybody who works here feels that they’re impacting the soldiers every day,” says Rosado. 4 f r a m ing h a m stat e co llege winter 2010 w inte r 2 0 1 0 f ram in gham state co l l ege 5 student voice | on course Momen Appointed Bangladeshi Ambassador to UN by maria quiray m i n or s spanish and business Seeing the World Anew Dana Lemelin ’11 is studying abroad in Spain this semester. While immersing herself in the culture and the language, she is also learning to be an active global citizen. by margaret storch Why did you decide to study abroad and how do you expect to benefit? Two years ago I went to England to visit friends, and that’s when the travel bug really bit me. You realize there’s so much else out there. I’ve taken three semesters of Spanish in college and I’m very interested in Spanish culture, even beyond the art and history. I feel that just going there I’m going to absorb much more besides just the language. A huge reason why I want to go is to become fluent in Spanish. People say you don’t get to that point until you’ve lived in a country where you’re forced to speak the language every single day. 6 f r a m ing h a m stat e co llege winter 2010 Where will you be studying and living? I’ll be attending the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville, taking a mix of Spanish and business courses. I’m taking business management in Spanish, but I decided to take macroeconomics in English. I really want to immerse myself in the culture, and so I’ll be living with a Spanish family instead of in a student residence. This way, I’ll speak Spanish more and learn more about Spanish life, such as their different food and customs. Would you recommend traveling abroad to other students? Yes, and I think now more than ever it’s crucial because we’re living a global society. I wish more people had an interest in visiting other countries and experiencing them to the fullest. If we know more about what’s going on beyond ourselves, it will broaden our understanding of everything. Even though I’m just one person, I really want to represent America well Dr. Abdul Momen is a professor of economics and business administration at Framingham State. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, including Management, Quantitative Methods, Quantitative Methods II, Organizational Behavior, International Business Management, and Business as an Environment. Why did you accept the opportunity to serve as the Bangladeshi ambassador to the United Nations? The Bangladeshi prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, is an agent of change, and she has taken beautiful steps towards doing good for the human kind. We have spoken repeatedly about her programs and goals, including reducing Bangladeshi poverty by half and increasing the literacy rate to 100 percent by 2021, creating a digitized country and making the guarantee of at least one job in each family. People can change their fate if you impart education, technology and sense of pride. I like her vision and want to work towards and promote these ideas. I’m an advocate for human rights. I am committed to it. I feel that I have an obligation to help human kind.” The environment issue is important with the rise of temperatures, affecting people across the globe. Bangladesh is a low-lying country; one-third of the country could eventually be underwater, which would result in 30 to 50 million homeless people. Women’s empowerment also needs attention. In the United States, things are working better, but in many developing countries, things are much worse. The Bangladeshi prime minister is a lady, but in spite of this, there are pockets of expatriate women in the region who need help. Bangladesh is doing much better than before, but the message also needs to be translated to other countries. How are students learning about global issues and other cultures? I think the college is trying hard to [develop] consciousness about diversity and global issues. In my course, we discuss a lot of global issues and I try to keep students aware of global perspectives. There needs to be sensitivity to cultural issues, understanding that little things can be very important cultural values. Students studying abroad and faculty leading shortterm programs abroad for students will help make students better educated about global issues and cultural differences. in Spain and leave them with a good impression of Americans. Have you changed in your time at Framingham State so far? College has opened my eyes to new perspectives and my own view of the world. I learned a lot as campus president of Alpha Lambda Delta, the first-year national honor society. Recently I completed an internship at the State House with Representative Pam Richardson and became aware of the broader political spectrum. I’ve always wanted to go to law school, but now I’m also considering getting my master’s in public administration. I’m getting a lot of workplace experience in my on-campus job in the Advancement Office, and when I graduate, I’ll know what it means to be a good alumna. I feel like I’m always learning something every day, and I’m excited to have this opportunity to study abroad. ” m aj or political science How long will you be an ambassador and what are some high-priority issues that you want to address? I have been asked to serve a couple of years. In the first few months, I have to become a student again and I need to learn about Bangladeshi programs. I was amazed about how many Bangladeshi programs there are and I have my issues that I also want to promote. How do you think your experience as an ambassador will add value to Framingham State? I have many programs in mind, including bringing fellow faculty members and students to the UN and working with faculty to bring ambassadors to speak at Framingham State. Eventually I hope to assist in the development of a global studies center. w inte r 2 0 1 0 f ram in gham state co l l ege 7 commencement Making It Official at Commencement 2009 1, 073 new graduates join the a lumni asso ciation words of wisdom Graduating students listen attentively to advice given at the undergraduate ceremony. new alumni Newly minted graduates share their pride in their accomplishments with classmates. top honors awarded Taryne Murphy ’09 receives the valedictory medallion from President Timothy Flanagan. leading the way The Hon.

One reason that students will be able to consider such a range of environmental jobs is because this program draws upon expertise from a variety of departments. While the biology and geography departments have spearheaded this program, coursework will be required in chemistry, physics, mathematics, sociology, government, economics, English and history. Courses that students will be required to take include Biological Concepts, Ecology, Environmental Law and Policy, Resource Management, General Chemistry, Physical Geology and Microeconomics. The coursework for the environmental sciences program permeates the departments of Framingham State, just as environmental issues are permeating all aspects of our world. Fred Liberatore ’70 knows personally how difficult it can be for a veteran or servicemember of the United States military to work toward and attain a college degree. “Dr. Vincent J. Mara interviewed me [at Framingham State College] in January 1966 while I was on leave. I was admitted in mid-June. What a lucky break for me!” Liberatore recalls. The United States Air Force discharged Fred three weeks early, so that he could start his classes at Framingham State on time in September. Thanks to the GI Bill and his own hard work and perseverance, he went on to graduate in 1970 with summa cum laude honors. He met his wife, Jeannine, at Framingham State and eventually went on to earn his PhD with his undergraduate mentor, Joyce Morrissey. Framingham State College continues to welcome servicemembers and veterans but with even more support and recognition for these populations. Make It Happen Through Study Abroad In fall 2008, a new Veteran and Servicemember Resource Center was established and it is staffed by current students who are actively enlisted or U.S. military veterans. “We've all seemed to have questions or problems trying to get our paperwork processed, but many of our questions can be answered when we get together,” says James Cook ’11, center volunteer. “The veterans at the resource center all work together to make life easier for our student veterans overseas and for veterans and students who have questions about the military and its programs.” This fall the college also received the designation of being named a Servicemembers Opportunities College (SOC). In this country, there are approximately 1,800 appropriately accredited colleges and universities providing associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees for servicemembers and their adult-dependent family members. SOCs are military-friendly institutions with flexible policies that allow mobile servicemembers and their families to complete degrees rather than just accumulate course credits. “I can't describe in words how good it feels to be home,” says Cook. “The staff and faculty here have made it an easy transition returning to civilian life.” To learn more about servicemember and veteran support services on campus, visit the Veteran and Servicemember Resource Center in suite 504 of the college center or e-mail veterans@framingham.edu. w inte r 2 0 1 0 by maria quiray Jane Decatur, the director of international education, has been working at the college for just over one year advising students, expanding program options and establishing the new International Education Resource Center, a place where students can research study and internship abroad programs. Dr. Robert Martin, vice president of academic affairs, recognized Decatur this fall for “finding high-quality and affordable [program] options that match with our programs.” Two new opportunities are being introduced to students this academic year. The Center for Academic Programs Abroad (CAPA) Sydney program allows students the opportunity to intern and take classes in Sydney, Australia. Students may live in student housing or in a home-stay with an Aussie family. Beginning in spring 2010, Framingham State will begin a student exchange program with the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. UEA is consistently rated as one of the top 25 universities in the United Kingdom with a wide range of majors. During the last 12 months, Framingham State students have studied in Australia, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Netherlands, Russia and Spain. Students may be eligible to receive scholarships based on their study abroad location. This year the college awarded its first Benjamin Gilman Scholarship award, given to Shera Pagan ’10, who is studying in India this fall. f ram in gham state co l l ege 11 faculty news we l c om e new fac ult y christopher bowen silvy brookly stephen dinkelacker mary t. grassetti Communication Arts Assistant Professor Education Assistant Professor Biology Assistant Professor Education Assistant Professor MFA Boston University: College of Communication, Film Production BA Brandeis University, PhD University of Missouri, Mathematics Education and Urban Leadership MA Stanford University, Math Education BA Northwestern University, Computer Science OTHER Fulbright Fellowship recipient (2007), Japan PhD Miami University, Zoology MS Frostburg State University, Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology BS Frostburg State University, Wildlife and Fisheries Management PH.D.

Framingham State College’s International Education Program (IEP) provides many teachers in international schools “the only chance they have to do professional development,” says Mahler. The C. Louis Cedrone International Education Center offers programs leading to the MEd in international teaching for educators in international and American schools abroad. From Brazil to Taiwan and Italy to Kuwait, there are currently 24 IEP sites in 20 countries around the world. Framingham State faculty members teach all courses, traveling to the 12 f r a m ing h a m stat e co llege winter 2010 sites for short, intensive periods of instruction. Students complete pre- and post-course assignments online. Ron Vair, director of the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, seized the opportunity to bring the program to his school “to begin to increase the level of professional talk amongst staff as well as giving them common experiences and language to use in the school.” Despite recent political turmoil in Honduras, all the senior staff of the school completed the program this summer. Mahler has been a regular IEP faculty member since 1987. This June in Kiev, Ukraine, she taught ESL and cross-cultural awareness. In August she went to Jichowon, South Korea, to give a course in language structure. “We hit the ground running,” she states. “By the first class, the participants had read the course material, selected and prepared the topics for their class presentations [and] e-mailed their pre-course assignments.” Dr. Kelly Kolodny of the Education Department taught research and evaluation this summer in Rota, Spain, at one of a number of schools on Department of Defense sites where Framingham State offers MEd programs. Her students, from various European countries, were “diligent and serious about their studies,” she shares, “and I enjoyed learning about their own experiences in the education profession.” Robert Stovall of El Puerto De Santa Maria, Spain, was one of the students enrolled in the Rota IEP this summer. “The program was an answer to a prayer for me,” he says. “The classes were affordable and taught by very professional faculty from the college with real-life experience to convey.” “The program was an answer to a prayer for me. The classes were affordable and taught by very professional faculty from the college with real life experience to convey.” Mahler’s taxi driver in Kiev this June knew well the location of the school where she would be teaching. “That’s where the child of the prime minister goes,” he told her. The students and some of the teachers at international schools are often from privileged backgrounds, notes Mahler. “In some small but tangible way, Framingham State has an impact on the education and development of future world leaders.” w inte r 2 0 1 0 f ram in gham state co l l ege 13 ram nation a w inning spirit at 2009–10 Homecoming and Family Weekend It was a perfect fall day when over 2,500 gathered for the annual homecoming festivities on campus.

She is a woman who in her early 90s dared to go down into the ocean depths in a submarine while on a cruise in the Caribbean; younger people were afraid to join her in the adventure, but she reveled in observing deep-sea fish through the submarine portholes. This is Miriam Jagodnik Feldman ’34, the founder of "The Gatepost," the Framingham State student newspaper. In 1931, as a project in her English class with Louise Kingman ’19, she initiated and edited a campus newsletter, "The Hilltop News," which quickly found eager readers. Her drive and inspiration led to the launch of "The Gatepost" the following year. Feldman was on campus in April to see how the newspaper she founded 77 years ago has grown and flourished. She was the guest of honor at a reception to celebrate the current "Gatepost" journalists’ accomplishments in winning prestigious awards for student journalism from the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ). They received two firstplace regional SPJ 2008 Mark of Excellence awards for Region I (the New England and mid-Atlantic states). These awards were for breaking news coverage in an article by 2007–08 Editor-in-Chief Brad Petrishen ’08 and Associate Editor Alex Smith ’08, and for editorial writing by 2008–09 Editor-in-Chief Bethany McDonald ’09. More good news was to come. As regional winners "Gatepost" editorial staff were entered in the SPJ’s national contest, and in May they were declared one of two national finalists in the breaking news w inte r 2 0 1 0 miriam feldman ’34 category. "The Gatepost" journalists were recognized August 28 at the 2009 SPJ Convention and National Journalism Conference in Indianapolis. Back in 1932 Miriam Feldman set in motion an ever-expanding opportunity for students to strive for excellence. In his remarks at the reception for the regional awards, Professor of English Desmond McCarthy ’81, faculty advisor to "The Gatepost" and a former editor-inchief, noted that Framingham State was the only state college in the region to receive an award, while competing with “some of the most prestigious journalism programs on the east coast. Harvard University,” he continued, “one of the two Ivy League universities recognized by the SPJ, won two awards, [and] so did Framingham State College. . . . So you’re in good company, but so are they.” He praised the students for their professionalism and collegiality in naming "The Gatepost’s" editorial board, not simply individual writers, as the authors of the winning pieces. McCarthy also lauded Feldman, the adventurous trailblazer of journalism at Framingham State, for her “ingenuity, civic mindedness and can-do spirit.” f ram in gham state co l l ege 21 class notes ’72 where she works with store managers “to plan and execute floorsets according to company standards. Ensuring that the store is easy to shop and visually pleasing is an ongoing responsibility of mine,” she says. olga jackson ’09 Displaying Fashion for the World by margaret storch She says her Fashion Promotion class with Dr. Matthew McGrath “provided me with information about visual merchandising that I was able to bring from the classroom into the workplace.” And, she adds, “My internship, supervised by Dr. Irene Forster [’87, ’88], at the Reebok World Headquarters [in Canton, Mass.] gave me the basic principles and the experience that I needed to move to the next step in my career.” It would be a dream job for many new graduates: working in New York City at a mecca of international fashion for young people. Olga Jackson ’09, the outstanding fashion design and retailing student for 2009, is a visual lead at American Eagle Outfitters (AE) on 34th Street, the flagship store of a company that is well known internationally as the place to find stylish American clothing and accessories for the young. “It has a big tourist following,” she says. “People come from abroad to buy.” AE “offers trendy clothing, accessories and personal care products at affordable prices” and targets young adults “who live life to the fullest.” Jackson’s Framingham State experiences will serve her well as she pursues her self-stated goals of “becoming involved in research, brand extension and mentoring.” She credits working and interacting with her professors as how she “acquired leadership and communication skills.” As an assistant in the president’s office for several years she developed professionalism and good judgment. She also says that serving as student representative on a faculty search committee “gave me the opportunity to share my ideas, take responsibility for them, and to see the final result.” Who better to understand and appeal to that denim-seeking clientele than a talented young woman from Cork, Ireland? “Olga’s international interests are apparent in her fabric and design choices,” says her former professor Dr. Judith Zaccagnini Flynn ’69. Jackson’s flair for style, as well as her education in fashion design and retailing at Framingham State, led her to her soughtafter position in visual marketing at AE, Jackson works at the heart of a dynamic company. Her eye-catching merchandise displays help drive AE’s growth and she participates in the company’s visible expansion: “I get to travel to new stores and execute the floorsets in preparation for a successful store opening.” She will play her part in the launch of the new flagship Times Square store in January 2010. Jackson has grasped the young fashion dream and is running with it. 22 f r a m ing h a m stat e co llege winter 2010 Maryanne Frangules is the former director of the Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery (MOAR), a group that educates the public about the value of recovery from addiction.

The same stamina and perseverance in his career and studies carried over into his athletic career. At the national senior games in San Francisco in August he was feted as a VIP, and in September he went on to take part in the first-ever European Senior Games, held in the Netherlands.

She was an only child from Holliston, Mass., and always wanted to teach children. The college really impacted her life, and she was able to take her skills and travel to Japan to teach, eventually landing in California, where we met over 40 years ago.” Framingham State Chorus Spring Concert Dr. Arthur Nolletti, Jr invites you to join him for the screening of a series of outstanding international films. Following each screening, Dr. Nolletti will lead a lively discussion on the evening’s feature. march 10 Marjorie (Morgan) Brown ’58 passed away in March 2002, and Fred made good on his promise to endow a scholarship in her memory.

Wajda interweaves a handful of stories that unveils not only individual suffering, but also extraordinary acts of courage.

The visit is motivated by the devastating news the wife learns, but keeps secret: Her husband is terminally ill. Though indebted to Ozu for its central action, Dörrie’s tale ultimately focuses on how a young Japanese Butoh dancer helps the surviving spouse transcend grief and celebrate life as an ongoing process of self-discovery.

As a junior at Framingham State, Meaghan is beginning her first field study and is the recipient of the 2009–10 Marjorie (Morgan) Brown ’58 Scholarship. A dean’s list student interested in teaching second grade, Meaghan epitomizes the young teacher that Marjorie hoped to assist with her scholarship. “It’s really amazing,” noted Fred at a recent luncheon with Meaghan, President Timothy Flanagan and his wife, Nancy. “Meaghan is exactly the student Marjorie had in mind when she decided to make a lasting gift to her alma mater. I couldn’t be happier with her selection.” For more information on planned giving, estate planning and endowment opportunities, please contact the Office of College Advancement at 508626-4012.
