1. Get ready for Homecoming 2005 PLUS Mass and Breakfast this week

John Carroll's Homecoming celebration gets underway on Wednesday (Sep 28) with men's soccer and with volleyball. Thursday (Sep 29) features women's soccer and a Kulas appearance by comedian Jim Breuer. Highlighting Friday (Sep 30) is the Hall of Fame dinner at Windows on the River and afterward a Drive-In movie -- that's right, a Drive-In movie -- on Hamlin Quad between Grasselli Tower and the Dolan Center.

Saturday (Oct 1) begins with Mass at 9:30 am in Saint Francis Chapel. A parade around campus and street fair on Belvoir follow and then the university dedicates the concourse in Don Shula Stadium in honor of Casimir (Casey) Bukala SJ, Philosophy Professor and longtime team chaplain. All of these events occur prior to the Blue Streaks' 2 pm football game with Ohio Northern, in which fans can expect to see a fired-up Carroll team. The Streaks, 48-17 winners over Marietta Saturday (Sep 24), are on a mission to prove they are NOT the squad shut out by Mount Union 2 weeks ago.

The weekend concludes on Sunday (Oct 2) with the traditional fall Mass for alumni in Saint Francis Chapel followed by breakfast in Schott Dining Hall. Check out the complete Homecoming schedule online and also register for the Mass and Breakfast. But do it today!

2. Hear Robert Niehoff SJ in John Carroll Magazine online

The latest edition of John Carroll Magazine is on its way to your doorstep (if it's not there already), with articles on our new President, Reverend Robert Niehoff SJ; an interview with Athletic Director Laurie Massa; a profile on Professors Helen Murphy and Cyrilla Wideman, founders of the Neuroscience Concentration; the first of a series on JCU parents; a book excerpt by Bishoy Mikhail '97; features on some of the many alumni over the years who have found their way to the Heights from the Windy City; and other news and notes. One can learn a lot about Father Niehoff from the insights he shared with Editor Jerry Pockar in an interview for the magazine. Soundbites from that interview can be heard via audio streaming on the magazine website.

3. Watch for webcast of JCU Inauguration October 11

The inauguration of Father Niehoff as President of John Carroll on Tuesday (Oct 11) in the Tony DeCarlo Varsity Center has as its theme "Engaging the World." We plan to webcast the 2:30 pm ceremony, so anyone who can connect to the WorldWide Web can watch the live event. Look for the link on the JCU website.

4. Reunion 2006 -- by telephone!

To be honest, one can't really enjoy Reunion by phone, but you can participate via long distance in the planning sessions (for classes ending in 1 or 6). The meetings are getting underway, so contact Reunion (and Conference Call) Coordinator Rosalie Massey by phone (1-800-736-2586) or e-mail.

Don't forget: Reunion next year takes place on the weekend AFTER Father's Day, so reserve June 23-25 on your 2006 calendar.

5. JCU hosts international conference on social justice

Not long after the last inauguration guests have left campus, delegations will be arriving from nearly 30 Jesuit institutions of higher learning nationwide (plus one from Korea) for "Commitment to Justice in Jesuit Higher Education." The 4-day conference (Oct 13-16) includes keynote addresses by Dean Brackley SJ, author and educator at Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) in El Salvador, Central America; and Paul Locatelli SJ, President and Professor of Accounting at Santa Clara University; as well as 41 panels that include presenters from the JCU faculty and administration. More information is available on the Center for Community Service website.

6. Responding to Katrina

Along with the prayers and donations the members of our community have offered victims of Hurricane Katrina, John Carroll has joined with other Jesuit universities in accepting students from Loyola of New Orleans, Tulane and other universities within the affected area. You can read this report and other stories in the latest edition of @JCU, the online newsletter for the campus community.

7. Quotable: Pastor Anthony Parker '94 and Charles Geschke

Anthony Parker '94 (l), an attorney and a minister in the Pentecostal Church of God in Christ, outlined what is required to truly embrace diversity in his Tuohy lecture last summer. The lecture, featuring a soundbite, can be heard via audio streaming on the JCU website.

Chuck Geschke (r), who taught mathematics at JCU in the 1960s before co-founding Adobe Systems, returned to his hometown to speak to the Entrepreneurs Association at the organization's annual kickoff dinner (Sep 13). The slides and audio of his address also are available in flash presentations on the JCU website.
