Graduate Fellows 00 - Jefferson Scholars Foundation

The design and construction of the University of Virginia’sRotunda is an appropriate allegory for the growth enjoyed bythe Jefferson Scholars Foundation over the past decade as it hasexpanded its efforts to benefit the entire University community.

the mission of thejefferson scholarsfoundation is to servethe university ofvirginia by identifying,attracting, andnurturing individualsof extraordinaryintellectual range anddepth who possess thehighest concomitantqualities of leadership,scholarship, andcitizenship.

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 8From the ChairsOftentimes, success dims the remembrance of early steps and struggles.We look at the University of Virginia today, and it is oddly easy to forgetthe fact that it took Thomas Jefferson many years of persuasion andpersistence to bring what has become one of the world’s great centers oflearning to life. The architectural centerpiece of Mr. Jefferson’s academicalvillage, the Rotunda, itself was not completed until a decade had passedafter the Founder had drawn the plans, and yet we today do not imagineits absence.In some measure, the progress of the Jefferson Scholars Foundationmirrors that of the University it serves. In 2007-08 the Foundationsupported 128 undergraduate Jefferson Scholars and 33 graduate JeffersonFellows; more than 50 regions around the country and abroad havebeen endowed by the generosity of our benefactors, and thus more than3,100 high schools may participate in the 2008-09 Jefferson Scholarshipcompetition; all 24 of the academic departments within the GraduateSchool of Arts & Sciences participate in the Jefferson Fellowship; so, too,do the Darden School of Business and the Law School and so, too, willthe School of Engineering and Applied Science. The Foundation’s directeconomic commitment to the Jefferson Scholars and Fellows for the 2008-09 academic year is $6.6 million: put another way, the four-year supportof a single Jefferson Scholar and the five-year support of a JeffersonFellow now range up to $180,000 and $250,000, respectively. Morethan $14 million in new capital was raised this past year, exceeding ourgoal, and bringing the Capital Campaign to a total of $68 million, wellwithin sight of the Campaign’s $100 million objective. The Foundation’sendowment robustly approaches $250 million, and even in this difficultRichard C. Kellogg Jr.ChairJefferson Scholars FoundationLisa O. GardnerChairAlumni AssociationBoard of Managersinvestment climate, UVIMCO has returned a positive return of 5.9% for the fiscal year. Blueprints are ready,financing completed, and construction will soon commence on our new Jefferson Fellows Center, designedto be a welcoming beacon and the physical space for the interdisciplinary community and exchange of ideaswe believe are emblematic of our sponsoring institution (but have become rarities on most post-baccalaureatecampuses).These are wonderful statistics. But, just as the grace and proportion of the Rotunda belie the effort thatwent into its design and building, statistics tend to obscure the human effort that bring statistics into being.A decade ago, there were 91 Jefferson Scholars in residence, and the Jefferson Fellowship Program had yet tobegin. There were 15 fewer endowed regions than there are today, and 1,633 fewer participating high schools.The Foundation’s endowment stood at $80.6 million, $166 million less than today’s figure. It was humaneffort and persistence that account for the growth of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation over the past decade.More than 750 alumni and faculty have given of their time unstintingly each year to serve on regional andnational selection committees. Several thousand high school principals and guidance counselors believe in ourappeal for the natural meritocracy of talent and have continued to nominate their best students. More than

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 8From the PresidentThe central theme of this annual report on the Jefferson Scholars Foundation’s activities is growth. TheFoundation has indeed enjoyed remarkable growth, particularly over the last decade. There is no questionthat the vision provided by the Board of Directors has inspired this record of achievement; there also is noquestion that the board’s vision could not have been realized without the dedication and commitment of ourstaff, a group that has also seen substantial growth in the last 10 years.In 1998 the Foundation staff numbered 5. Today our staff stands at 16. Undergirding everything thathappens at the Foundation is the daily commitment to excellence demonstrated by Carmen Holmes, JoannePayne, Donna Slough, Karen Tapscott, and Joy Vaughan whocollectively have 42 years of service with the Foundation. UntilFebruary 2008 this team was superbly led and supported by SondraFeagans who concluded 21 years of exceptional service and nowis enjoying a much deserved and productive retirement. Sondra’scontributions to the Foundation’s success are unequaled, and thestandards she set will guide us as we go forward.“If we don’t grow, wearen’t really living.”- Anatole FranceSix years ago, as the Foundation prepared for the most ambitious capital drive in its history, the boardwisely recognized that we could not succeed in the effort without a fully-staffed development office. Directorof Development Pat Ingram has assembled a team that is as talented and committed as any to be foundanywhere on Grounds or in the nation. Pat, Nina Barker, Patrick Garcia, and Kevin Murray are setting astandard of excellence and professionalism of which our entire constituency can be proud.Programmatic growth remains the hallmark of the Foundation. Under Erin Monaghan’s conscientiousleadership our Undergraduate Program continues its steady expansion to new geographic areas and its doggedadherence to the highest selection standards.Perhaps no aspect of the Foundation has grown more in the last decade than our Graduate FellowshipProgram. In 1998 it was but a request from the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Though itis true, as Howard Thurman observed, that “Growth always involves the risk of failure[,]” the board electedto respond positively to this request, and 10 years later the Foundation has established one of the premierfellowship programs in the country. Doug Trout is leading the evolution of the program with skill anddetermination.For the past two years much of the success that both the Undergraduate and Graduate Programs haveenjoyed is due to the effort expended by Jenni Allen, Foundation analyst, who has personally visited 379secondary schools in 35 regions. She also has ably conducted the Institute for Leadership and Citizenship andhas been a vital part of the Jefferson Fellows Symposium. We will miss her once she departs to pursue herPh.D. in German History at the University of California-Berkeley; we, however, are fortunate that Lauren Ross,Jefferson Scholar in the Class of 2006, will assume Jenni’s responsibilities.No organization can expect to continue to grow without thoughtful financial planning and management.Helen Dwyer has overseen dramatic improvement in our financial forecasting and modeling. The constructionof the new Jefferson Fellows Center has created increased accounting and reporting requirements, and we havebeen fortunate to recruit Leah Sutker as a financial analyst and Mike Lutz as the controller for the Foundation.The board expects the highest quality of financial reporting, and our financial team is fully up to the task.The work of our dedicated staff makes it possible for the Foundation year in and year out to succeed inall of its endeavors. The year 2007-08 was typical. Both our undergraduate and graduate selection processes

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 8produced gratifying results. Once again every department in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences wasinvited to present candidates to the graduate competition. In February we hosted 30 finalists from theGraduate School, eight finalists from Darden School of Business, and four finalists from the School of Law.The 2008 entering class will have six Fellows in the College and two in the Darden School. The qualificationsof all eight are very impressive.At the undergraduate level we added two new regions (Los Angeles and West Virginia) and received arecord number (1,012) of nominations to the competition. Ninety-four candidates attended the final selectionweekend. Despite significant and increased competition from our worthy peer institutions, we are delightedthat 32 scholars from 16 states and two foreigncountries will be among the 2008 entering class.We are also pleased that once again almost 10% ofthe entire U.Va entering class were nominees to ourJefferson Scholarship competition.The accomplishments of the Scholars and Fellowsin residence continue to validate the effectiveness ofour selection process and the good judgment of ourselection committee members. The Class of 2008included a Gooch Scholarship recipient, 12 Lawnresidents, the chair and a vice chair of the JudiciaryCommittee, a vice chair of the Honor Committee,Consistent growth has beenfundamental to the JeffersonScholars Foundation experience.It has been fueled by innovativeideas and made real by thegenerosity of many benefactors.and two Class Trustees. Among other accolades, members of the class received the Kenneth Elzinga Award,the Duncan Clark Hyde Award in Economics, a Merck Index Award, and the William Maury Hill Award. Thecumulative GPA for the class was 3.713.Those Scholars and Fellows returning to Grounds are distinguishing themselves in an equally impressivefashion. Four Honor Committee representatives from the College are Jefferson Scholars, as is onerepresentative from the School of Engineering. Among this group are the chair and three vice chairs of thecommittee. For the second year in a row a Jefferson Scholar will be the student representative to the Boardof Visitors; 13 Scholars will live on the Lawn, and a Scholar will also serve as vice chair of the JudiciaryCommittee. A more comprehensive list of achievements is featured on page 123 of this report.The Graduate Fellows also continue to make their mark on Grounds and across their disciplines.Commencement recognitions for the Fellows included the Arthur A. Pegau Award in Geosciences and theAward for Excellence and Scholarship in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Fellows have authoredarticles in scholarly publications; two received National Science Foundation Doctoral DissertationImprovement Grants; one served as treasurer of the Raven Society; another will serve as the Dardenrepresentative on the Honor Committee. Fellows also received other prestigious grants and presented papers tonational and international research conferences.On June 30th each year the Foundation always undergoes some transition on the Board of Directors. ThisJune witnessed a larger than usual transition as the terms for six members expired. The contributions andcommitment of Joe Bornstein, John Hawkins, Ed Mitchell, Tony Mortimer, Dick Payne, and Marjorie Webbwere significant, and we will miss their participation on the board. We are fortunate that we will benefit fromthe service of new members Peter Grant, Hal Rodriguez, Charlie Townsend, and Phoebe Yang.Every three years the chairmanship of the board rotates. Doug Holladay has been a tireless and selflessleader of the board. Always supportive and never satisfied with the status quo, Doug, with a steady hand, has10

A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 8helped the Foundation meet every challenge. We are fortunate that he willremain on the board; we are also fortunate that Rick Kellogg will assumethe role of Jefferson Scholars Foundation chair.At its April meeting, the Board of Directors established a new nonvotingboard membership category. Individuals selected to this emerituscategory shall have demonstrated exceptional service to the Foundationover a long period of time. Landon Hilliard will be the first emeritus boardmember. Landon has been involved in some capacity with the Foundationsince 1986, serving as chairman of our board and as chair of our firstcampaign committee. We are most fortunate that we will continue to profitfrom his wise counsel.We lost one of our original supporters and closest friends with thedeath of Myron B. Mausteller in September. “Iron Mike” served on ourfirst policymaking committee and remained throughout the rest of his lifeone of our staunchest advocates.James H. WrightPresidentThe Foundation lost another “Mike” when Michael E. Wilson passed away in February. Never seeking thelimelight, Mike was the driving force behind the Foundation’s expansion to Arkansas. We will miss his steadyleadership and keen sense of humor.The Foundation suffered a third loss with the passing of Sture Olsson in September. Sture was a memberof the Board of Managers when the Jefferson Scholars Program was created. The Elis Olsson MemorialFoundation, of which Sture was chair, has generously contributed to both our undergraduate and graduateprograms. His no-nonsense approach to our work helped keep us focused.Consistent growth has been fundamental to the Jefferson Scholars Foundation experience. It has beenfueled by innovative ideas and made real by the generosity of many benefactors. Our benefactors respondedloyally again this past year: we received $14,203,065 in new commitments, and we enter our 29th year gratefulfor a fiscal base that is more than $245 million in investment assets and outstanding pledges.To all who have given so generously of their time, their energy, and their philanthropy and to all who willhelp keep the Foundation growing in the future, we convey abiding thanks.James H. WrightPresident11

P R I VAT E S U P P O RT

Over the past decade the JeffersonScholars Foundation has seen a dramatic increasein financial support. At the close of fiscal year1997-98 the Foundation, while in the midst of theUniversity’s last major capital campaign, secured alittle over $2 million in new commitments. As ofthe close of fiscal year 2007-08, the Foundationraised more than $14 million in new commitmentsfor the third consecutive year.During the last ten years, the Jefferson ScholarsFoundation launched and expanded its GraduateFellowship Program to include the GraduateSchool of the College of Arts & Sciences, theDarden School of Business, the School of Law, andthe School of Engineering and Applied Science.The Foundation has also continued to expand itsundergraduate competition to new regions aroundthe country and the world.This year, through the generosity of theHartfield Foundation, the Jefferson ScholarsFoundation established a teaching prize to recognizeexcellence in undergraduate engineering teaching.None of the expansion could have occurred withoutthe seven-fold increase in annual contributions.Ongoing success in fundraising will be necessaryto continue the expansion of the graduate andundergraduate programs. The Foundation’s futureis bright due to the dedicated involvement of itsbest ambassadors: the hundreds of volunteers whosupport and believe in our mission.

P R I VA T E S U P P O R TCapital Campaign Development ProgressThis fiscal year marks the mid-point of theCampaign for the University of Virginia. Onceagain the Jefferson Scholars Foundation set anannual target of $14 million in new commitmentsas it sought to meet our campaign goal of $100million. Through the generosity of our friends andbenefactors, the Foundation has surpassed the fiscalyear target for the fifthconsecutive year.The Foundationhas seen expansion infinancial support forboth the undergraduateand graduate programs.This year we havereceived commitmentsof $8.7 million for theundergraduate program. This will enable the regionalscholarship competition to expand to Jacksonville,Tampa, and Kansas City. For the first time we willhave over 50 regional selection competitions in thefall of 2008.We have also received $5.4 million in newcommitments to the Graduate School of Arts &Sciences, the Darden School of Business, and theGraduate School of Engineering and Applied Science(SEAS). Our continued involvement with the DardenSchool has proven very successful. Working closelytogether, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation and theDarden Foundation successfully raised funds for aGraduate Fellowship in the name of Professor JohnL. Colley Jr. This effort has proven so important toDarden alumni and friends that the goal was met anddoubled within eight months.Furthermore, in the spirit of cooperation, theFoundation’s joint effort with the SEAS and theThrough the generosity of ourfriends and benefactors, theFoundation has surpassed thefiscal year target for the fifthconsecutive year.Virginia Engineering Foundation will not onlystrengthen the Graduate Fellowship Program butwill also help the SEAS accomplish its top priority,graduate support. SEAS Dean Jim Aylor stated,“This strong link between SEAS and the JeffersonScholars Foundation provides our school with acompetitive edge to attract the most highly valuedPh.D. candidates.”In addition, theJefferson ScholarsFoundation will furthersupport the Universityin its effort to recognizeexcellence in scienceand engineering. Inpartnership with theHartfield Foundation wewill begin to award a teaching prize annually. Thisprize recognizes and celebrates the commitmentof outstanding faculty members of the Universitywho instruct undergraduate students in the SEAS.The recipients will have demonstrated exceptionalcommitment to their students’ learning, as wellas knowledge of and passion for their subject.This important initiative will further establishthe Foundation as a central driver of change andexcellence at the University.The Jefferson Scholars Foundation continuesto be at the forefront of the University ofVirginia’s philanthropic efforts. We are deeplygrateful for the generous support and commitmentfrom our many friends and benefactors.

P R I VA T E S U P P O R TProfile: Gregory A. McCrickardA 1981 graduate of the College of Arts& Sciences, Greg is a vice president andportfolio manager at T. Rowe PriceAssociates, Inc. in Baltimore. He and his wifeBeth have supported the Jefferson ScholarsFoundation by serving on the JeffersonScholars Selection Committee, as well asby creating the Gregory A. McCrickardScholarship and The Newman FamilyJefferson Fellowship. Beth and Greg havethree sons, one of whom is a rising third yearstudent at U.Va. Recently Greg responded toquestions posed to him by the Foundation:Where did you grow up, and why did you attend theUniversity?I grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia, just a bit down the road fromCharlottesville. Several members of my extended family hadattended the University; so, naturally, Virginia was high on my list.One visit was enough to convince me U.Va. was a great fit.How did you first become involved with theJefferson Scholars Foundation?One of my colleagues, Hugh Evans, had been a Jefferson Scholarduring his time at U.Va. Hugh introduced me to Jimmy Wrightwho, of course, is a powerful advocate for the program. After justone visit with Jimmy, I was sold on the tremendous potentialimpact the program can have on our University.What about the Foundation and its mission piquedyour and Beth’s interest in getting more involved?The program attracts the best and the brightest student leaders toU.Va. It is truly an exhilarating experience to attend the finalselection weekend and meet these amazing kids. If possible, wewould want each one of these students to attend the University.Because our family has a special interest in funding need-basedfinancial aid, Jimmy wisely suggested that we set up a program tohelp outstanding “runners-up” attend the University.Tell me about your experience on the selectioncommittee.What a fascinating weekend! Beth and I were truly inspired tobe surrounded by these talented and amazing candidates. It wasa privilege to play a small part in the selection process and get toknow these very accomplished students. These candidates demonstratetrue leadership and give us great hope for the future.As an undergraduate alumnus of the University,why did your family choose to support theGraduate Fellows Program?Then, as now, U.Va. is blessed with many talented professors.The foundation of an extraordinary undergraduate institution isfaculty excellence. Talented graduate fellows are instrumental inattracting and supporting outstanding faculty to the University.Why did you name the fellowship after yourmother’s family?I have been a lifelong student of history. My Aunt BillieNewman Carwile received her master’s degree from U.Va. andtaught history at a local community college for many years. Shehelped inspire my love of Virginia history, and she entertained usfor hours at family functions with tales drawn from her researchinto my mother’s family genealogy.Greg was fortunate to attend U.Va. with theassistance of financial aid. “The University had aprofound impact on my life and certainly helped tolay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning,”explains McCrickard. “The Jefferson ScholarsFoundation enabled our family to give back to theUniversity through a program that both enriches theacademic experience of current students and buildson the Jeffersonian ideal of training self-governingleaders for our society.”12

Cornerstones of SucceSSThe Jefferson Scholars Foundation builds its ownfoundation on financial performance. Over the lastdecade the Foundation experienced unprecedentedgrowth across all its critical financial performancemeasures. Record-breaking success, year after year,in the amount of new funds raised, in investmentreturns, and in the overall management of theendowment allowed the Foundation to build andstrengthen its financial base. With a solid financialgroundwork in place, the Jefferson ScholarsFoundation is positioned to embrace growth,expand programs and assets over the next ten years,construct and operate its own home and graduatefacility, and confront the challenges of risingtuition costs and possible future downturns in theinvestment markets.

F I N A N C I A L R E P O R TFinancial HighlightsTen years ago the Jefferson Scholars Foundation’s totalendowment was just over $80 million and included atotal of 227 different endowed accounts. Today, theFoundation’s endowment balance has increased to morethan $245 million and incorporates over 500 individualendowed accounts. The dramatic increase in overallendowment is the result of a decade of exceptionalresults in development and investment strategy.Over the past two years, the Foundation has enjoyedexcellent investment returns that can be attributed tothe decision by the Board of Directors to transition theFoundation’s endowment to the University of VirginiaInvestment Management Company (UVIMCO).Despite the challenges of the 2008 investment market,investment performance at year end was 5.9%, and theFoundation’s overall endowment in 2008 increased by8.3% to $246.6 million.Growth in the endowment has helped addressthe increasing cost of tuition and stipends for theJefferson Scholars Foundation’s Scholars and Fellows.In 1998 undergraduate tuition was $4,866 for in-stateScholars and $15,814 for out-of-state Scholars. Tenyears later, tuition increased to a total of $8,690 (or79%) and $27,940 (or 77%) for in and out-of-stateScholars respectively. Combined with enhancements inenrichment opportunities, average spending per Scholarincreased from $21,259 to $40,571.227199825219992902000313200133120023552003Number of EndowmentsIn 1998 the Foundation’s Graduate FellowshipProgram was just beginning to build its endowmentwith a total of $423,971 in funding designated for thesupport of future fellowships in the Graduate School37620044092005437200647720075022008$80.6M1998$87.7M1999$100.3M2000$126.2M$118.7M$114.8M2001$137.2M$153.9MGrowth of Endowment Portfolio$184.9Mof Arts & Sciences. Today, as it prepares to welcomethe eighth incoming class of Fellows across multipledisciplines and graduate schools, the Foundation’sGraduate Fellowship endowment has increasedto a total of $49 million. Over the past decade,the Foundation has disbursed over $2.7 millionin support of Fellows with 31% of this amountawarded in the 2008 fiscal year alone.The Foundation has established a solid financialbase on which to build its future. In order to fundthe acquisition and construction of its futureadministrative office and Jefferson Fellows Center,the Foundation issued variable rate demand revenuebonds through the Industrial Development Authorityof Albemarle County, Virginia, in the amount of $18million. The Foundation also entered into an interestrate swap agreement with SunTrust Bank effective forthe entire 30-year term of the revenue bonds.Projected spending for 2009 is $10.3 million,with an estimated 75% for program support, 15%for administrative costs, and 10% for fundraisingcosts. Committed to UVIMCO’s investment strategyand governed by the Board of Directors’ 5.5% spendrate threshold, the Jefferson Scholars Foundationanticipates another decade of sustained growth.All figures recorded as preliminary unaudited results for 2007-08.200220032004AVERAGEINVESTMENTRETURNThree Year 15%Five Year 12%Ten Year 10%20052006$227.5M2007$246.6M2008

Jefferson Fellows are not justscholars; they are leaders.Their passion for disciplined research, exploration,and study is equaled only by their thirst to engagewith others, to teach, and to surround themselveswith other broad-ranging thinkers across Grounds.This special dynamic, rooted in the founding ofthe University, ultimately is what makes the JeffersonFellowship different from any other nationalgraduate fellowship. The program’s growth, perhapsmost easily tracked by following the increasingannual number of Fellows that permeate theGrounds, is predicated on superb alumni volunteerservice, supportive faculty feedback, and – perhapsmost importantly – the inclusive environment,pan-University, that the Fellows and the FellowshipProgram embody.The following statistics provide a snapshot ofthe growth of the Jefferson Fellowship:› 2008 marked the eighth year of selectingJefferson Graduate Fellows.› In 2001, three Jefferson Fellows residedacross Grounds.› In 2008, 33 Jefferson Fellows residedacross Grounds.› In 2001, a total of ten nominations werereceived from two departments.› In 2008, a total of 56 nominationswere received from 19 departments in theCollege of Arts and Sciences as well as theDarden School of Business and the Schoolof Law.› There has been a 67% increase innominating departments in the College ofArts and Sciences from 2005 to 2008.› Nineteen of 31 Jefferson Fellowshipoffers accepted between 2007 and 2008.› In 1998 the Jefferson Fellowshipendowment balance was $423,971.› The 2008 Jefferson Fellowshipendowment balance is $49 million.

G R A D U A T E P R O G R A MGraduate Fellowship ProgramFellowships Across GroundsWhat began in 1998 as an idea to recruit a handfulof Ph.D. candidates to the University has developedinto a pan-University Fellowship Program aimed atidentifying and attracting graduate student leadersacross Grounds.The Jefferson Scholars Foundation naturallywarmed to the idea of offering Fellowships toexceptional candidates applying to the School of Lawand to the Darden School of Business in 2004 and2006 respectively. InThe academic, social, cultural, andphilosophical exchange of ideasbetween all Jefferson Fellows definesthis one-of-a-kind Fellowship.2007 the Foundationentered into anagreement with theSchool of Engineeringand Applied Scienceto create a series ofJefferson EngineeringFellowships.The academic, social, cultural, and philosophicalexchange of ideas between all Jefferson Fellowsdefines this one-of-a-kind fellowship and is theprimary reason that the Board of Directors electedto purchase land and construct the Jefferson FellowsCenter.The Jefferson Fellows CenterScheduled for completion in late 2009, the JeffersonFellows Center will be a state-of-the-art home for theJefferson Fellowship Program. Constructed in orderto foster a community of leading thinkers, teachers,and citizens who enjoy interdisciplinary conversationand interaction, the Center will serve as the locus ofthe Jefferson Fellows community.The Center will be equipped with individualizedFellow study areas and carrels, a reading room/library,and ample teaching, meeting and conference space. Toassist with late-night research and writing, the Centerwill also have a stocked kitchen and coffee receptionarea.Current Jefferson Fellows spent a good deal oftime over the past academic year serving in an advisorycapacity helping to design the Jefferson FellowsCenter. Their comments and advice on programmaticnecessities and building space requirements wereprofoundly influential in the design phase.Jefferson Fellows SymposiumDuring the annual selection weekend, each second-yearFellow presents his or her research to members of theUniversity community inan intimate setting either inthe Rotunda or in one ofthe Pavilions on the Lawn.Those in attendance areencouraged to share theirinsights, ask thoughtful andprovocative questions, andchallenge the presentersto explore alternative approaches. The conference isdesigned to give each Jefferson Fellow experience inpresenting original work for critical feedback in apublic setting. It also exposes Fellows’ work to scholars,fellows, and faculty outside of their respective fields.The Forum for InterdisciplinaryDialogueSeptember 2008 kicks off the first Forum forInterdisciplinary Dialogue entitled, “The Art ofScience, The Science of Art.” Hosted by the JeffersonFellows themselves, the Forum will provide the Fellows– both individually and as a group – the opportunityto plan and organize a conference. Perhaps an evengreater opportunity occurs after the conference whenFellows will seek publication on certain aspects of theconference.A core component of the mission of theJefferson Scholars Foundation is the promotionof interdisciplinary dialogue across the Universityof Virginia. In particular, the Jefferson Graduate

G R A D U A T E P R O G R A MFellows are encouraged as part of their graduateschool process to develop interdisciplinary facultyconnections and to host speakers as a meansof professional development and promotingtheir presence across Grounds. The JeffersonInterdisciplinary Forum is proposed as a fusionof these goals, in which faculty from across theUniversity will come together to discuss core issuesthat cut across fields in academia. This year’s JeffersonInterdisciplinary Forum represents an attempt toexplore how the interplay of these forces manifestsitself across disciplines as diverse as biology, arthistory, psychology, astronomy, and political science.The goal of this process will be to understand bettersome of the potentially unexpected commonalitiesand differences in the ways in which fields addressthese issues.Monthly MeetingsJefferson Fellows meet monthly to discuss a broadrange of subjects. Often, gatherings are nothing morethan informal social evenings hosted by a Fellow athis or her home. Other times Fellows meet to discussacademic issues, watch movies or films, or discusspolitical events. Each meeting is usually geared arounda theme. The goal is to bring Fellows from differentdisciplines together in a casual setting to nurturefriendships and broaden their overall graduate schoolexperience.Paul Tudor Jones II Fellow in environmentalsciences Rishi Das presents at the 2008Fellows Symposium.Jefferson fellowsselection weekendacademic conference 2008VILDE AASLID, Edgar Shannon Fellow in music,examined the intersection of and conflict betweenNorwegian and Norwegian-American cultural and politicalidentities through a comparison of parades in Norwayand Seattle celebrating the signing of the Norwegianconstitution.JILL P.

In her presentation she also arguedfor a revised approach to the study of history at MountVernon and other early American plantation museums whichwould engage more fully with the reality of experiences forall people in the early American landscape.RISHIRAJ DAS, Paul Tudor Jones II Fellow inenvironmental sciences, discussed the impacts of land usechange on phosphorus cycling in dry tropical forests and theimplications of these changes for long-term ecological shiftsand regional land management.ERIC R. MCDERMOTT, Macfarlane Family Fellowin the Darden School of Business, sought to develop acomprehensive definition of what should be requiredfor a company to receive the designation of a “premium”company and the reasons that a five-year compound annualgrowth rate of net income in excess of 15% should beforemost among the criteria used to determine this status.JUSTIN L.

WINCK, Elizabeth Arendell Tilney andSchuyler Merritt Tilney Fellow in germanic languagesand literatures, discussed the way that Kierkegaard’spseudonymous character, Johannes de Silentio, examines theBiblical character and father of faith, Abraham, in Fear andTrembling. He argued that Kierkegaard provides the readerwith the tools to undermine de Silentio’s argument thatAbraham cannot speak, an argument which has implicationsfor community and ethics.
