letter from the president
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.
One of the longstanding, productive and influential collaborations of the college
is with the Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSSC), a world-class U.S. Department
of Defense research and development center located just minutes from campus.
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,
Timothy J. Flanagan, PhD

alumni on a mission at the natick soldier systems center
by tracey palmer
In the high elevations of Afghanistan the weather is bad—
Nicole Killian ‘09, shown left, works with others in the textiles lab to design patterns
and prototypes of clothing worn by soldiers. 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.
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
winter 2010 framingham state college
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.

the happy suit
“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.”
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.
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.
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).
“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.”
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.
“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.
“Everybody who works here feels that they’re impacting
the soldiers every day,” says Rosado.
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.
Especially with a war going on, you really know you’re helping.
it’s a good feeling.
It really makes you feel your job is worthwhile.
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.
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.

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.
major
political science
minors
spanish and business
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
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.
Momen Appointed Bangladeshi
Ambassador to UN

by maria quiray
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.
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.
”
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.
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.

New Environmental
Science Program Launched
by mary casey ’07
This fall, Framingham State College launched
a new undergraduate program in environmental
science. This program has attracted a
great deal of popularity since environmental
issues have garnered so much global attention
in recent years. Carl Hakansson, assistant
professor of geography at Framingham State,
notes that the currently changing economy
will likely create more environmentally
“We feel this program provides
a broad background in both
the scientific areas as well as
the more policy-based matter,
allowing some diversity for
future employment.”
affiliated jobs in the future, and this new
program will prepare Framingham State
graduates for a variety of careers. “We feel
this program provides a broad background
in both the scientific areas as well as the more
policy-based matter, allowing some diversity
for future employment,” Hakansson says.
Some jobs that graduates may acquire
include town planners, environmental
engineers, resource managers, policy
decision-makers (political and otherwise)
and entrepreneurs in energy production.
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.
Campus Support
for Veterans and
Servicemembers
by mary casey ’07 and maria quiray
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.
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

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.

“We are like sponges thirsting for knowledge, know-how
and the validation of what we do in the classroom, and to
have an expert in the field come to us is beyond real,” said
a student in Bolivia to Marguerite Mahler, professor of
modern languages. 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

Ron Vair, director of the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana

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.

Dr. Kelly Kolodny of the Education Department taught

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

the education and development of future world leaders.”

a winning spirit at
Homecoming and Family Weekend
It was a perfect fall day when over 2,500 gathered for
the annual homecoming festivities on campus. And it
was a perfect score for athletics, with all teams winning
their games and the Rams scoring a dramatic 40–37
football victory over Fitchburg State College. “As an
alum I love reconnecting with people,” says Kevin
Surprise ’08. “Coming back to Framingham [State
College] just gives you a good nostalgic feeling.”

Enterprising
Spark Still Casts
Bright Light
Miriam Feldman ’34 has always been eager to
explore new opportunities. 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
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.”

Displaying Fashion
for the World
by margaret storch
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.”
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,
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.
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.”
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.”
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.

Of Special Note...
roger gentilhomme ’72:
a phenomenon at 100
This is a milestone year for
Roger Gentilhomme ’72, who
turned 100 in the spring
and was featured in the
national media for his ath-
letic triumphs in regional and
national senior competition
over three decades. Roger is recognized
as the world’s oldest tennis champion.
Roger spent his career as a textile engineer
at the Natick Soldier Systems Center. “With
a top educational facility, Framingham State
College, close by, I decided to go for my degree
[in textiles],” he says, “attending nights and some
summer classes.” Gentilhomme completed his
degree and then began playing tennis a few years
later in 1975.
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. A media
phenomenon, he was celebrated at the games
as the oldest athlete among the 1,300 from 33
nations around the world.

“Katyn” (Poland, 2007)
Acclaimed as the crowning achievement of Wajda’s 60-year career, Katyn
is the name of the forest where the Soviets secretly massacred more than
20,000 Poles in 1940, then steadfastly denied their involvement for nearly
50 years. Wajda interweaves a handful of stories that unveils not only
individual suffering, but also extraordinary acts of courage. In Polish with
English subtitles.

“Cherry Blossoms” (Germany, 2008)
A homage to Ozu Yasujiro’s 1953 masterpiece “Tokyo Story,” Dörrie’s film
deals with a middle-aged couple who decide to visit their grown children in
Berlin. 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. In English, German and Japanese
with English subtitles.

“Meaghan is exactly the student
Marjorie had in mind
when she decided to make a
lasting gift to her alma mater.”
Helping to
Shape the Future
Investing in Today’s
Framingham State
Fred Brown remembers making plans with his wife,
Marjorie ’58, to include their respective alma maters in
their wills. “Marjorie loved Framingham State. 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.”
Marjorie (Morgan) Brown ’58 passed away in March 2002, and Fred made
good on his promise to endow a scholarship in her memory. Today, elementary
education majors from Holliston receive the Marjorie (Morgan)
Brown ’58 Scholarship to assist them in completing their studies.
Meaghan Davis ’11 knew she wanted to be teacher when she graduated
from Holliston High School. 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.”

opportunities, please contact the Office of College Advancement at 508-
