Amos the Greyhound mascot faced down thirty-one opponents in April to win the 2010 national title in SportsTalkNY’s Mascot Madness contest! Amos received more than 94 percent of the 8,000-plus votes in the final round to win the championship. Earlier in the online competition, Amos defeated Goldy the Gopher (University of Minnesota), Timeout (Fresno State University), Iggy (Loyola Marymount University), and Ozzie the Osprey (University of North Florida). Amos also received a total makeover, morphing from a pajama-clad fuzzy-wuzzy into a buff, high-performing hound. Look for the spiffedup Amos and a new student group—the “Dawg Pack” Performers—at games this fall. The Greyhound softball team’s winning season helped Moravian finish in the Directors’ Cup top 50. Moravian Ranked in Top 50 for Directors’ Cup The Greyhound athletic teams’ successful spring season helped Moravian attain a 48th-place finish (314.25 points) in the 2009-10 NCAA Division III Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Final Standings. Moravian was the only Landmark Conference school to finish in the top 50, and it was the Greyhounds’ best finish in the cup’s fifteenyear history. To receive points, teams must compete in the NCAA National Championships (for individual sports) and the NCAA Tournament (for team sports). A total of 311 of the 420 NCAA Division III institutions earned points in this year’s standings.

When an important cause is involved—like battling breast cancer or leukemia—the Greyhounds always rise to the challenge. In April, the Greyhound football team registered more than 450 new, potential donors for the Be the Match® bone marrow campaign—far more than schools with much larger student bodies. All day long, registrants lined up inside the Moravian field house to offer cell samples for the national bone marrow registry, which is used to find matches for patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Earlier this year, the women’s basketball team, led by coach Mary Beth Spirk, helped strike a blow against breast cancer by raising the most funds of any Division III team in the nation on behalf of the Pink Zone® initiative. The Greyhounds rallied to support player Amy Heffner ’11, whose mother lost her life to cancer earlier in the season. The team was honored at a national event held in April. Anna Heim ’10 won the 2010 NCAA Division III Indoor National Championship in the pole vault with an NCAA Division III all-time indoor record height of 4.16 meters (13 feet, 7¾ inches). In June, Eric Woodruff ’11 competed in the 200-meter dash at the 2010 United States Outdoor Track & Field Championships, after winning the NCAA Division III National Championship title on May 29 with a time of 21.04 seconds. In just three seasons, Woodruff has run nine of Greyhound football players led the April bone marrow drive, which registered 457 new donors. photo by Marty moyle 22 MORAVIAN COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUMMER 2010

Faculty Retirement Dennis Glew, professor of classics and history, retired last spring after forty years as a Moravian College teacher, mentor, leader, and friend. Dr. Glew served for many years as chair of both the Honors committee and History Department. From his earliest days at Moravian, he impressed colleagues and students with his intelligence, wit, and collegiality. “Of all my professors at Moravian, Dr. Glew probably had the biggest influence on me, not only guiding me through my academics, but also shaping my future career decisions,” said Judy Stevenson ’06, a former Honors advisee, now archivist at the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Del. “One of my most memorable moments was when the Classics Society put on a production of Minotaurus, an original play written in Latin by Moravian’s own Dr. Jim Tyler. After much coercion, Dr. Glew agreed to play a small role that had a grand speech. I still can picture him in his toga as he delivered his lines in a manner befitting a Roman god!” One of Glew’s first post-Moravian projects will be to complete a study of the coins of the eight kings of Bithynia. He also looks forward to traveling with his wife, Dorothy Glew, former information literacy and reference librarian, who also retired in spring. State Rep. Robert Freeman ’78 presented Professor Dennis Glew (center) with a citation to honor his long service to the College and students. Heikki Lempa, chair of the History Department, and other faculty members were on hand for the occasion. Have you heard? Here are just a few of the latest updates from your classmates.

She recently shared the following news: “We were at the Banff conference on plant metabolism and Nick proposed to me on Lake Louise! Also, I won the best poster award at the conference. What a conference!” 2006 Casey Jackson, working toward his Ph.D. at Wayne State University, recently published his first scientific paper. “Ironbinding and mobilization from ferritin by polypyridyl ligands,” co-authored by Jackson and Jeremy J. Kodanko, appeared in the journal Metallomics. 1975 Susan Bacci Adams reports that Gail Warren and her husband, King Au, have relocated to Gaithersburg, Md. If any classmates find themselves in the area, Gail would love to have you visit so that she can show you around D.C. 1969 Rick Subber is having a great time working on an oral history project for the College. He has interviewed about fifty alumni, retired faculty members, students, and others. If you would like to participate and talk with Rick about your experiences at Moravian, please e-mail him at the College at rsubber@moravian.edu, or call him at 610 865-5644. 1959 Neil Boyer and his wife, Johanna, rented a house in Venice, Italy, for two weeks this past December. Because they were there at the time of high water, they had to buy knee-high boots to wear outdoors. New Year’s Eve at the Piazza San Marco wasn’t very romantic in 18 inches of water—but, it was fun. Johanna, who is switching careers, is studying for a Master’s degree in social work at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. SUMMER 2010 MORAVIAN COLLEGE MAGAZINE 23
