Message from Dean Donnerstein
Welcome to SBS Developments.
While I was reviewing two of the major stories in this issue, I was reminded of the powerful need many of us have to leave a legacy for future generations.
Emory Sekaquaptewa, a research anthropologist in the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology who died recently, made it his life’s work to preserve Hopi culture. His legacy to his people was to give them the tools to revitalize their language. The Hopi Children’s Word Book, a project that Emory started and which his colleagues will complete, will help Hopi children improve their Hopi literacy.
The Harelson family has donated to the Department of Journalism, namely to a reporting laboratory and technology, to ensure that the late Hugh Harelson’s legacy to future generations — high quality, ethical journalism — lives on in perpetuity.
Another feature story spotlights the 50th anniversary of the Department of Geography and Regional Development (GRD) — a department which has grown dramatically over the last several years and which is doing some of the most interdisciplinary, topical work in the University.
Please review the article on our Magellan Circle. This year, 24 students received scholarships due to the generosity of our Magellan Circle patrons! We also have exciting trips planned to the Galápagos Islands and to Israel and Jordan.
I hope you enjoy this issue of SBS Developments. And please keep us in mind when you consider your own legacy. Whether you support the next generation by contributing to student scholarships, or to research on depression or environmental conservation, you will be helping to make the world a better place.
Sincerely,
Edward Donnerstein, Dean
