Alum works for peace and justice in ThailandSpirituality and prayer are essential to serviceWork for peace and justice, here in Thailand and previously in Indiana and Florida, hasbeen the basis of my life. After graduating from ICA, now called Oldenburg Academyin 1955, I furthered my education at Marian College receiving a B.S. in Chemistry. Icompleted my M.S. in Chemistry at the University of Florida in 1961. Spirituality andprayer were essential from my earliest days in order to be able to serve and be ofservice to others.Peace Corps volunteer and educatorAs a member of the first group of Peace Corps volunteers to Thailand in 1962, I taughtChemistry at Chulalongkorn University, the prestigious university located in Bangkok.Later I taught and served as a senior administrator of the Asian Institute of Technology,a graduate school of Engineering, and then worked on the development of a newscience curriculum under the Ministry of Education. Students and my young familywere on the receiving end of my work at that time.Working with refugeesThousands of refugees began fleeing into Thailand in the early days of the conflictin Cambodia. I visited the camps and increased by involvement with refugees andasylum seekers, joining the Jesuit Refugee Service as a full-time volunteer for manyyears. We strove to provide for the dignity of individual refugees and refugee families.I had the unique opportunity to help organize an International Conference in Manila,Philippines to develop a Comprehensive Plan of Action for the resettlement of theVietnamese and Cambodian refugees.Helping landmine survivorsIn 1994 we learned that men, women and children were losing limbs as a result ofaccidents due to landmines, which had been planted along the border and within theborder provinces of Thailand. From refugee work I moved to bringing the landmineproblem to the forefront. Colleagues and I even brought landmine survivors toParliament to speak about their experience in what most people assumed waspeaceful farm area.Several Regional Conferences were organized and we joined the InternationalCampaign to Ban Landmines, which led to international success, with Thailand signingthe Ban Mine Treaty in 1997. The Royal Thai Army was appointed to clear the mines,however the work is slow and painstaking. Many of the landmines are on what couldbe fertile farm land.Though I have resigned as Coordinator of the Thailand Campaign to Ban Landmines Istill assist with landmine and cluster munition meetings with the Ministry of ForeignAffairs and the Thailand Mine Action Center. The work is not done, as Thailand still has27 provinces which are mined, causing continuing civilian casualties.Prayer and meditationI serve as the Thailand National Coordinator for the World Community of ChristianMeditation. The weekly meeting of a small Christian Meditation group continues togather in my home, but two new larger groups are now centered at Holy Redeemerparish in Bangkok. Participation in the meditation and mindfulness talks by local andinternationally based monks continue to be a positive influence.Emilie Clevenger Ketudat ‘55ALUMNI NEWS - 9

I amvery honored and happy to share withthe Oldenburg community.Jobs with PublicationsAfter getting to Purdue University,I joined the Exponent, which is anindependent daily student newspaper.I worked on the Campus Desk as astaff reporter and later was promotedto being an executive reporter, whileoccasionally working as a graphicartist. My time as a staff reporter andexecutive reporter was spent coveringlectures and events throughoutcampus, writing articles on scientificresearch, administering photo surveyswith students and writing profiles onmembers of Purdue’s faculty.The summer after my freshmanyear, I had an internship at CincinnatiMagazine. While there, I worked inthe Special Sections and CustomPublishing departments. I alsocollaborated with Cincinnati Wedding,The Social Datebook, GO Cincinnati andother various projects.The following summer, I worked asan editorial intern at City Beat, analternative arts and political magazinein Cincinnati. As an editorial intern, Ispent much of my time copyeditingarticles and columns, while workingon the website and creating my ownstories. I was allowed a lot of creativefreedom here, and got to write a guestcolumn titled “Living Out Loud” at theend of my internship. In this piece, Iwrote about my travels that summerand meeting Woody Allen, my favoritecomedian and screenwriter.Along with my work in these areas, I wasalso the Layout and Design Editor for[re-te-rik], a magazine funded by PurdueUniversity that discusses the ProfessionalWriting major and the possibilities it opensfor students. When working on this project,I learned about page design, while beingin charge of the rest of the layout team. Ialso wrote a few small articles for [re-te-rik]and worked with HTML and CSS coding forthe magazine’s website.I was recently promoted to being theAssistant Features Editor at the Exponent.Though I am new at the job and stillfiguring it out, I can say that I absolutelylove it. So far, I have gotten to collaboratewith other desks on large projects,interview many interesting people andwork on the online edition of the paper.Tutoring, Teaching and ActivismWhen I came back to Purdue this pastfall, the university hired me as a BusinessWriting Consultant for the PurdueUniversity Writing Lab and OWL (OnlineWriting Lab), the most distinguishedonline writing resource in the country. Infact, I remember using the OWL for Mrs.Stephens’ classes at OA. As a BusinessWriting Consultant, I tutored studentswith writing in all fields, but specializedin business and technical writing, oftenhelping students with upper-level Englishpapers. I also specialized in tutoringforeign students whose native languageswere not English.I am also working at the Purdue LearningNetwork of Clinton County in Frankfurt,Indiana. Here, I teach English to Spanishspeakingimmigrants. The classes includeparents and children, so I’ve gotten toknow many immigrant families personally,and became passionate in helping themovercome obstacles of the United States’harsh immigration laws. I spend Saturdaymornings volunteering with the familiesI have become close with. I offer Englishlessons, homework help, and babysitting.Scotland Scholarship and Plansto Study AbroadAt the end of the last semester, I wasnotified that I was awarded a scholarshipfrom Purdue to study abroad at theUniversity of Dundee in Scotland. It is oneof the top universities in Great Britain andthe best in Scotland, known for itsjournalism and engineering programs.The scholarship will cover my housing,tuition, book fees and academictravelling fees.While abroad, I will be studyingtechnical writing while focusing onpost-industrial Scotland. I will beusing digital technology to studybioinformatics, clean energy andcutting-edge medical research. Muchof my group’s research will focusspecifically on the questions: Howcan we produce clean, renewableenergy? How can we create andsustain meaningful work and jobs?What does it mean to work in a postindustrialage and how can we preparetomorrow’s workforce to adapt tothese changes?During the time abroad, we willbe travelling from Dundee to LochNess, Edinburgh and the Isle of Skyto collaborate with researchers ontheir renewable energy projects. Iam incredibly excited about the tripbecause I am passionate about thematerial we will be covering and I lovegetting to intimately know new places.Also, the professor is awesome andsome of my best friends are going.Another great benefit of myscholarship is the coverage of travelexpenses. The scholarship recipientsearned a two-week rail pass, whichwill allow us to travel throughoutGreat Britain and continental Europe.We will be using seven days’ worthof travel for academic purposes, somy friends and I are planning onvisiting London and Paris with theremaining trips on our rail passes. Weprofessional writers are a pretty tightknitgroup and plan on enjoying whatEurope has to offer.I am working very hard and very often,but I am enjoying my college yearsand don’t want to rush them. I loveevery day at Purdue because I havethe best friends anyone could askfor, my greatest job yet and the mostinteresting subject material to study.I’m working hard, but living it up.
