When asked how this wasaccomplished, Holly Dalton, Dean of Enrollment Management replied, “Thisphenomenal success is due to the small but outstanding teamwork of the faculty,staff, coaches, alumni, and current students who all supported the recruitment effort.The team is focused on admitting high quality students who will thrive on ourcampus. The community’s commitment to the College brought us a great class ofstudents. I am proud of our achievement, and am excited that the recruitment effortsfor next year’s class is already underway!”Keith Spataro, Athletic Director said, “Our coaches have been highly successful at recruitingbecause of the collaborative effort between admissions and athletics and becauseour coaches are extremely good at selecting students that ‘fit” us and selling them onthe great opportunities that Menlo College provides. More importantly, they see thesame attractions of Menlo as our current students: winning, academic success, internshipopportunities, and job placement. ”“I believe our success is due to the way we approach the students,” said Priscila de Souza,Associate Dean of Enrollment Management. “Menlo’s transition to a focus primarily onbusiness education, achievement of AACSB certification, the Pritzker and Osher gifts, ournew president, and our school spirit demonstrated by celebrations such as the inaugurationand homecoming have all added to increasing our popularity. In addition, JessicaAyres, our Director of Financial Aid, worked tirelessly with each student to make it affordableas well as desirable.”Jessica Ayres said, “Our success was due in large part to the team’s cohesiveness andability to work together for the common goal. We all help each other; whether it’s foldingand stuffing envelopes, taking unscheduled student appointments, answering generalquestions about another department, or assisting students at the counter. This culture ofcare for each other’s success is a hallmark of Menlo College. Menlo is a safe, supportive,and open environment that nurtures a team-centered attitude.”Helping prospective students and their families understand the value of a Menlo Collegeeducation is a collective undertaking. While the admissions team plays a pivotal role, theirsuccess would not be possible without the critical support of alumni, current students,faculty and coaches alike. The personal attention students receive at Menlo College isunrivaled, and the commitment made by members of the community to communicatingthat message is a key component of the Menlo Advantage.PHOTO: NOE DURAN-RIVERA ‘15Christian Franks ‘15, Caroline Moreno ‘16, Anthony Pitini ‘17, Solove Naufahu ‘17 at Freshman Orientation in Walker CreekMENLO COLLEGE 11

Tania Equiha ‘16 gives a creative touchup to campus recycling bins.Menlo College Launches Sustainability Task ForcePHOTO: ANDRE POLIAKOVMenlo College student Katrina Ford, ’15 had to do someexplaining to bring the concept of a Sustainability TaskForce to the College campus. The campus had an electriccharging station for electric cars, and Zipcars to help studentsavoid owning cars, but there wasn’t a program to monitorplastic bottle usage and recycling, or a developed plan to decreaseutilities usage.To initiate her cause, Katrina partnered with Angela Schmiede,Director of Internships at Menlo College, to create Menlo’s SustainabilityTask Force (STF). Katrina’s first goal was to encouragestudents, faculty, and staff to ban the use of plastic bottles oncampus. To help educate the campus community, she arranged aviewing of the documentary, “Tapped,” to show that plastic bottlesare detrimental to health and the environment. In an effort to supportthe bottle ban, new filtered water dispensers were installed inseveral sites so that people can easily fill their own reusable bottleson campus. Katrina’s next project was to organize a group of studentsto refurbish a squadron of recycling bins. The campus alsoparticipated in a ‘lights out’ campaign on Earth Day to increaseawareness of the impact of energy conservation.Sustainability efforts have multiplied since spring as the facilitiesstaff implemented projects including additional water stations,electrical light conversions that have led to a 25% reduction inthe number of kilowatt hours used by the College, eco-friendlywashing machines, and low-flow dorm showerheads. The cafeteriaordered reusable “to go” boxes for lunches, and the parking staffcreated a bike pedaling incentive program. In addition, the Collegelessened its reliance on the public water supply by redirecting itswell water for landscaping.“This year, the students created Living Green, a sustainability clubthat will implement several educational initiatives to help reducethe use of water, energy, and other resources on campus,” said Dr.Schmiede. Katrina, an entrepreneurship major said, “Sustainabilityis a worthy outreach effort that not only fosters my dream butsignificantly impacts and inspires the community.”In early spring, Menlo College will participate in Campus ConservationNationals (CCN), the largest electricity and water reductioncompetition for colleges and universities in the world. In its fifthyear, CCN gives a common voice and motivation to hundredsof thousands of students across North America, all workingtogether to reduce consumption and mitigate the impacts ofclimate change.We look forward to reducing our environmental footprint throughthis competition in the spring.18 FALL 2014

He will show that Marginal Qis positively related to free cash (corporatecash in excess of investment) and negativelyrelated to the cash flow/ output ratio.At the macro level, the latter is a distributionalvariable showing the share of outputaccruing to capital. This share has beenrapidly rising since the late 1960s and maywell help explain the long term slowdownof investment growth since that time.Teri Thomas’ article, “Leadership and Personality” was publishedin the Campus Activities Programming, Back to School2014 issue.

Professor Michelson’s Book Looks atImmigration Policies and Undocumented Latino YouthMelissa R. Michelson, Professor ofPolitical Science at Menlo Collegeand a nationally recognized experton Latino Politics, has published anew book: Living the Dream, New ImmigrationPolicies and the Lives of UndocumentedLatino Youth. She wrote Living the Dreamwith Maria Chávez, Associate Professor ofPolitical Science at Pacific Lutheran Universityand Jessica L. Lavariega Monforti,Associate Professor and Associate Dean ofthe College of Social and Behavioral Sciencesat the University of Texas-Pan American.Michelson’s previous work includes theaward-winning book Mobilizing Inclusion(2012), describing her research on voterturnout in minority communities.In Living the Dream, the authors relay thereal-life stories of 101 undocumented Latinoyouth currently living in the United States,in four different states. While many undocumentedimmigrants in the U.S. are adultswho made conscious decisions to live herewithout legal documentation, others werechildren who were brought to Americaby their families and have lived in the U.S.for the majority of their lives. These youthare often nicknamed DREAMers after theDREAM Act (The Development, Relief, andEducation for Alien Minors Act), a measurefirst proposed in 2001 to regularize the22 FALL 2014status of these youth. The DREAMers labelis evocative of the concept of The AmericanDream, and the idea that children broughtto this country by their parents should havethe opportunity to pursue that dream.Instead, DREAMers live on the margins ofsociety, in limbo, waiting to see if they willbe allowed to stay and pursue their dreams.Jose (a pseudonym), one of the DREAMers,notes in the book, “We don’t know what isgonna happen. You know, we don’t havethat—we’re living in the moment, we’reliving day-by-day. You know, we may getdeported next year, we may get deportedin five years. So how can you make a planor plan your life in the next ten years if youdon’t know where you are going to be.”In July 2012, President Barack Obama issuedan executive action, Deferred Action forChildhood Arrivals (DACA), which grantedsome DREAMers two-year deferrals of anydeportation action as well as work permits.Using interviews conducted just after thatannouncement, this book tells DREAMers’stories and discusses how immigration law,including DACA, is shaping the lives andpolitical attitudes and behaviors of theseyoung Latinos. The book provides an historicaland economic argument for the passageof the DREAM Act, and for creating just, fair,and inclusive immigration policies.Linda Smith, New Deanof Library ServicesLinda Smith was recently appointedDean of Library Services.

Building Ethical Strength at MenloEthics Training in Action: An Examination of Issues, Techniques, and DevelopmentEdited by Professor Leslie E. SekerkaPHOTO: ANDRE Y POLIAKOVLeaders, managers, and employees at every level of theorganization need to establish a workplace where responsibility,accountability, and doing the right thing are genuinelyvalued and practiced. Professor Sekerka’s book serves as aguide for managers, taking a focused look at the science of ethicstraining and best practices, areas for concern, specific techniques,application outcomes, how to cultivate an ethical workenvironment and considering where opportunities for additionalresearch reside.Managers and practitioners reading her book will garner specifictrends and useful techniques that can inform, guide, and improveefforts to build ethical awareness and effective ethical decision-makingwithin their organizations. Academic scholars will find“Ethics Training in Action” useful as well, providing insight as towhere additional research and empirical work is needed.For students at Menlo, “The information in the book is based on amoral strength-based model, which is shared conceptually as wellas experientially in the Business Ethics course,” said Professor Sekerka.“The Balanced Experiential Inquiry process is an activity thatour Menlo students actually engage in, a technique employed toinstigate ethical reflection and dialogue (and now used in a varietyof organizational settings, including business, government, andthe military).Professor Sekerka states, “Key components from the book thatshow how to build an ethical organization, like targeting a triplebottom line approach to business (caring for people, planet andprofit), help students understand what it means to perform withcorporate social responsibility. Students discuss and grapple withissues presented in the book, such as: cross-cultural ethics, howto create safe spaces for ethical discourse and reporting, what itmeans to give voice to one’s values, how to be a servant leader, andstaying mindful of salient concerns like bullying in the workplace.”Professor Sekerka says, “Menlo students benefit from this type ofscholarship because it helps them learn about a more proactiveapproach to business ethics. Rather than assuming a typical reactionarystance, waiting for problems to emerge, our students get abetter understanding of what ethical strength in an organizationalsetting really means.”MENLO COLLEGE 23

Students Learn Business Savvy from Benanti Winery CEOTop: Salvino Benanti, CEO of Benanti Winery in Mount Etna, Italy (center) and his wine distributor Cristian Valbruzzoli were greeted by Italianstudents, left to right, Cristofari Pietro and Filippo Clemente, Finance Professor Dr. Soumen De, Italian student, Massimiliano Genta, Ashley Diamondand Zara Matevosyan. Bottom: The Benanti Winery, Professor Ron Kovas, Salvino Benanti and his brother Antonio Benanti.Professor Ron Kovas’ entrepreneurship capstone class, Launchinga Venture, recently welcomed guest speaker SalvinoBenanti, CEO of Benanti Winery in Mount Etna, Italy. In hispresentation titled, “Re-launching a Venture,” Benanti definedissues that he and his brother Antonio faced when they inheritedBenanti Winery, a business that was started in 1988 by their father,Giuseppe Benanti who has a passion for fine wine.Salvino reviewed their decisions on restructuring; dealing with theeconomic downturn in Italy; focusing on international markets;coming to terms with the credit crunch, and the absence of aventure capital/private equity culture.The Benanti brothers were educated in Switzerland and Londonwhere they spent many years working in finance before theyjoined their father’s winemaking business.When Giuseppe Benanti began the wine business, the grapesgrown in the area were considered to be “obscure” grapes, sincethey weren’t grown elsewhere and the Etna Appellation was notwell-known. The 11,000 foot Mount Etna is an active volcano nearthe sea in Sicily, Italy. The volcanic soil found there is similar to thesoil found in the Napa and Sonoma wine country.Giuseppe Benanti is credited with being the pioneer of winemakingon Mount Etna. Since the start of Benanti, many small vineyardshave developed in Etna because of their regional branding for aglobal market. The Benanti Winery possesses international notorietyand has won numerous awards for their wine, including the2007 Italian Winery of the Year, and a 2012 Top 100 Winery in theUSA. Their wines are mentioned in top trade publications such asDecanter, Wine & Spirits, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast.Since joining the winery in 2012, Salvino and Antonio Benanti haveimplemented a successful re-launch strategy. Focusing on theircore Etna wines, they generated cash for infrastructure and workingcapital; reduced the supply chain complexity in a slow movingdomestic market; hired a distributor instead of managing a salesforce; employed an enthusiastic younger generation; invested ininternational sales expansion activities; and created new revenuelines to increase liquidity. Compared to 2012, in 2014 their salesare up 50% and their exports are up 100%. The consensus withinthe global wine world is that under the supervision of Salvino andAntonio, the Benanti wines have retained exactly the same classic,elegant style that has always been at the heart of their fatherGiuseppe’s approach to winemaking.“My father’s good idea at Benanti Winery has never changed,” saidSalvino. “It’s the change in our team that has allowed the wineryto become a viable opportunity. My advice to others in the samesituation is don’t be afraid to make decisions. Make your ventureyour only job, and don’t attempt to juggle it with other careers.Have a clear strategy and tell the world what you’re doing.”MENLO COLLEGE 25

Adding tothese challenges, people had to miss theWorld Series Game playoff to attend theevent. Kennedy Tanaka, student at MenloCollege introduced the four candidates,and emphasized the need for the communityand College to “embrace” each other.Incumbent candidates included Rick DeGolia,who won a special election last year to filla partial term, and Bill Widmer, first electedin 2010. Also running are Mike Lempres andRose Hau.Opened statements included:DeGolia: “The opportunity for the townand College to work together is rich, like adiamond in the rough.” He highlighted thecivic center project and a telecommunicationsnetwork for Atherton residents asopportunities that might include studentinvolvement.Hau explained that she received her degreein architecture from UC Berkeley and thatshe has lived in Atherton for 22 years. Formany years, she had been asked to run, butshe chose to do it this election term becauseher “background supports” the four masterplans going into place, including the towncenter.Lempres urged students to feel that theyare full-time residents in the community of26 FALL 2014Issues Discussed at Menlo College Candidate ForumAtherton. “One person can make the difference,”he said. El Camino Real safety is oneof his priority issues, which he decided toact upon when he realized that it was unsafefor his daughter to commute to school onher bike. He is opposed to the rail.Widmer referred to his past civic recordas mayor and vice mayor, the speeches hehas made at Constitution Day festivities atMenlo College in years past, and the ADAPplan disaster preparedness events thathe worked on with Menlo College alumniHanna Malak.When asked what they thought of addingmore students to the 750 limit placed onthe College by the Town of Atherton, thecandidates said,DeGolia: “If you want more students, letit be known by deepening your studentrelationship with the Town. Communicatethe issues that are important to you. Thereare rich resources to take advantage of andpursue.”Hau: “The Town of Atherton’s response tosize is about, “traffic, traffic, traffic. Demographicsare changing, and schools aregrowing. It is incumbent for residents towork with it.” She added that the Collegewould need to prove to the town withalternative transportation options such asbike, bus, and shuttle that increasing thepopulation would not be a problem.Lempres: The size issue would concern“working as good neighbors do. The townwants a successful college that they can beproud of.”Widmer:“Traffic is the big obstacle forneighbors,” and he explained that anenvironmental impact study would benecessary.Other questions including an allegation thatthere were issues of police harassment ofstudents (candidates said they neededmore information), an inquiry about therestriction on night games (noise and lightsare the key factors), a query about how toconnect with the Town of Atherton (getinvolved, and taking a look at what Stanforddoes), and how to encourage a growth ofbusiness in Atherton (connect with fellowstudents and innovate) all met withcongenial responses.In closing statements, the candidates added,DeGolia: “if you take a risk, sometimes youfail but sometimes you succeed. Take therisk! Beyond the election, get involved withthe Town community and be responsive. Ifyou have an internship idea, send it to me.Vote and reach out!”Hau reminded the audience of her years ofproject-oriented background, and remindedthem that voting is critical. “Be creative anddevelop friendships so you can do somethingthat is interesting. Make connectionswhile you are here (at College).”Lempres: “Wherever you are, commit yourselfto fully being there. One of the ways todo it is to vote. Let’s work to make it better.”Widmer: “I have thirty-four years of businessexperience as a fiscally responsible conservative.You can look at the records toevaluate what I said I’d do and what I did.”
