Celebrating Scholarship: Chestnut Hill College Faculty Scholarly

Activities and Accomplishments2009–2010

CHESTNUT HILL COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENTTHE MISSION OF CHESTNUT HILL COLLEGE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH HOLISTICEDUCATION IN AN INCLUSIVE CATHOLICCOMMUNITY MARKED BY ACADEMICEXCELLENCE, SHARED RESPONSIBILITY,PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH,SERVICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND TO THEGLOBAL COMMUNITY, AND CONCERN FOR THE EARTH.

Chestnut Hill College, founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1924, is an independent,Catholic institution that fosters equality through education. Faithful to its strong liberal artstradition, Chestnut Hill College offers academic programs of excellence in the areas ofundergraduate, graduate, and continuing studies.

True to its Catholic heritage, Chestnut Hill College espouses the beliefs and values inherent inthe Judeo-Christian tradition while it respects the contributions made by other faith traditionsin the development of the whole person. The College nurtures a sense of integrity, spirituality,and social justice in all.

The College community dedicates itself to four purposes in fulfilling this mission. It seeks:

• to provide avenues for students to achieve academic excellence and to pursueresearch in their major field or in interdisciplinary studies. The College encouragesstudents to explore and experience diverse curricula and to participate in exchangeprograms over other institutions of higher education.

• to initiate links between the world of learning and the world of work throughcurricular planning, technological opportunities, and career preparation. The Collegeguides students in applying theoretical learning through experiential educationdesigned collaboratively by faculty and students.

• to uphold an atmosphere of communal respect in which all may clarify and articulatepersonal values and beliefs while exploring the ethical and moral dimensionsunderlying all relationships. The College encourages inter-faith opportunities byacquainting all students with Catholicism, its theology and its Judeo-Christian roots,and by engaging in dialogue with women and men of other beliefs.

• to create local and global connections that enable students to respond to the needsof others through service-oriented enterprises. The College educates students toidentify and to address issues of social justice and to work toward systemic change.

CONTENTS 1

Since its inception in 1924, Chestnut Hill College has offered a rigorousliberal arts education that continues to evolve over time to prepare ourstudents to meet the ever-changing needs of society. Our success in

preparing our students to meet these needs is a direct result of the fact thatwe are fortunate to have a faculty who exhibit a love for teaching andlearning. In addition to their primary task as educators, the Chestnut HillCollege faculty contribute many hours of their time in providing service totheir students, their departments and the college. ey are also activelyengaged in professional research and scholarship. eir dedication and hardwork in the areas of teaching, service and scholarship are critical for thesuccess of the College to fulfill its mission. It is my pleasure to recognize theoutstanding record of scholarly achievements and activities exhibited by theFaculty during the 2009–2010 academic year. It is important to note that inmany cases, these faculty provided invaluable opportunities for our studentsto become actively involved in this research and scholarship. In doing so,they extended their teaching out of the classroom into the workenvironment, thereby offering our students invaluable “hands-on” and “on-the-job” training in their particular discipline or area of study.e scholarly accomplishments of a college’s faculty directly influences theacademic quality of the institution. In this regard, Chestnut Hill Collegeonce again recognizes the diversity of talents among its faculty, is grateful for their contributions to the overall educational experience of the College, and takes pride in sharing and celebrating with you their scholarlyactivities and accomplishments. Celebrating Scholarship: Chestnut HillCollege Faculty Scholarly Activities and Accomplishments 2009–2010 is atribute to the faculty who continue to shape Chestnut Hill College’sacademic landscape through a commitment to excellence in their teaching,scholarship, and service.
