BEHiND THE PiNES Good Memories, Big Changes Longtime Faculty Members Retire EUgEnE gArvEr Professor emeritus of philosophy Came to SJU: 1985 (25 years) Favorite memory? Having one of the plaintiffs from the Brown vs. Board of Education case visit my class on American civil rights cases. He had never spoken about the experience. The students found it moving to have a figure from history visit the classroom. Four professors retired this year and were honored with emeritus status. Given their longevity, chances are a large number of alumni had a class with one or more of these dedicated scholars. We asked these distinguished retirees to reflect on their fondest memory or the biggest change in their careers here. CLAyTon gEArHArT Professor emeritus of physics Came to SJU: 1979 (31 years) Favorite memory? During my interview here, I asked Fr. Gunther Rolfson, OSB, if my not being Catholic would be a problem here. He gave me a big grin and said as long as I wasn’t anti-Benedictine, everything would be fine. This attitude exemplifies the spirit of this place—it’s been a great place to build a career. csbsju.edu/news 4 JAnE KATHMAn Professor emerita of management Came to SJU: 1974 (36 years) Biggest change? When I started, I was one of only a handful of women on the faculty. The increase in the number of female faculty has been the biggest change! FrAnK rIoUx Professor emeritus of chemistry Came to SJU: 1968 (42 years) Biggest change? The academic cooperation and coordination between SJU and CSB has made great strides. I’m a physical chemist by training, so I should be careful in using technical terms from other disciplines, but I think this is a great example of symbiosis.

This will focus institutional efforts on becoming more sustainable, with the eventual goal of attaining carbon neutrality by 2035. The program hopes to encourage and influence both campuses to make responsible decisions involving purchasing, speaker choices and residential life policies. Noted environmental historian Dr. William Cronon from the University of Wisconsin delivered a keynote address to begin the Year of Sustainability at the Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day in April. “In the course of the year, we’ll be working for a cultural shift in thinking to take place—from seeing sustainability as an ‘add-on’ or ‘extra,’ to seeing it as a natural part of everything we do,” said Fr. Bob Koopmann ’68, OSB, president of Saint John’s University, when introducing Cronon. Yuval Ron Ensemble Seeker of Truth Saturday, November 13, 8:00 p.m. Stephen B.
