Ryan McCarthy

Senior Ryan McCarthy is the kind of student-athlete we like to brag about. A four-year player and starter this season for the Men’s Basketball team, McCarthy averages double-digit points per game and was part of the 2012-2013 team that clinched Newman’s first bid to the NCAA Division II National Tournament. But his A-game isn’t limited to the court. This two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District selection will take his talents to Oklahoma College of Optometry at Northeastern State University next fall.

Sophomore

Diana

Stanley

learns by

doing

College is a place where students learn, grow and mature. It is meant to inspire, to challenge, and—at Newman University—to live the mission of “empowering graduates to transform society.” While Newman grads continuously find new ways to impact society, many students do the same thing, even before they graduate.

Take sophomore Diana Stanley. When Diana was working toward her Girl Scout Gold Award (the organization’s highest honor and one only about 5 percent of Girl Scouts ever achieve) she looked to Wichita’s Museum of World Treasures, one of the area’s top general history museums.

Diana, a history major who loves the early Renaissance, found herself intrigued by exhibits on dinosaurs, mummies, the Aztecs and world wars. She became a museum volunteer, a role she eventually parlayed into a job running the front desk, writing blog posts and conducting original research for museum Director of Exhibits, Tim Howard.

Page 5: Inside Newman Spring 2015

Through her work at the museum, Diana was introduced to Rick Macias, a Newman alumnus and noted family law and adoption attorney. Macias works out of a beautiful old home and was curious about its history. Eyeing the chance to do more original research, Diana jumped at the opportunity to do an internship for Macias uncovering the story behind the house.

Among other things, she discovered that the Italianate style house was built in 1911. Diana then went about the process of having the house added to the State Historical Registry. Her excellent research and the house’s condition have also made it a candidate for the National Historic Registry. Her efforts could make this beautiful building a national landmark.

In addition to her work in and out of the classroom, Diana is active in campus life. She is a member of the Newman History Club, Young Republicans, Chorale, the Honors Program, and a freshmen orientation leader. She even helps co-teach a “Traditions and Transitions” class with faculty member, Dr. Susan Crane.

Having achieved great things at Newman here in the states, Diana set off to conquer the “Euro Newman” as well, by spending this semester at Newman University College in Birmingham, England. Rich in history and culture, Birmingham is the most populous city in England outside of London. Diana now takes history courses that will transfer as stateside credit when she returns. She says she is most excited about taking a Renaissance history course in an area of the world where the events she reads about actually occurred. Plus, because the trip was planned through Newman’s study abroad program, Diana can study on tuition exchange at no additional cost, other than travel expenses.

Like many students, Diana plans to continue making an impact on society, and has a great appreciation for the special opportunity Newman provides—to create a college experience rich in on-campus, off-campus and even out-of-country experiential learning opportunities.

Healing Hearts While

Changing Mine

Blair Benton is a sophomore Cardinal Newman Scholar from Benton, Kan. currently studying Pre-Medicine at Newman University. The youngest sibling in her family, Blair chose Newman for its impressive reputation in the sciences and for the numerous scholarship opportunities.

After being inspired to get involved on campus through various service volunteerism activities, Blair chose to spend the Spring Break of her freshman year participating in a medical mission. The experience motivated her to further her love for medicine and volunteering both on campus and off.

In July 2014, Blair received another opportunity to participate in a medical mission. She was selected to travel to Ecuador, as one of only three medical mission interns, for the International Children’s Heart Foundation (ICHF).

Blair prepared as much as possible but was ultimately blown away by her experience! Read about Blair’s summer spent collaborating with local surgeons, assisting in the operating room and changing lives.

Healing Hearts WHile CHanging MineBy Blair Benton (nU Class of 2017)

Before traveling to Ecuador, I briefly studied various congenital cardiac defects and Googled clinical presentations and anticipated surgical procedures. As a sophomore in college, I felt this was sufficient preparation for the impending discussions which I would be involved in; however, no amount of internet research or well-intended advice could prepare me for the first patient who walked into the echocardiography lab.

His name was Joel (pronounced “Jo-el”), and he was 13-years-old. Everything about him screamed teenager, from the head nod as he walked in, to the snarky look he gave the local cardiologist when he referred to Joel as a “child.” The most surprising thing about Joel was that he didn’t look “ill.” The team surgeon began reviewing the case with me and explained that most surgeons in the region would refuse to operate on a patient like Joel, in part because of the severity of his case. I then asked the interventional cardiologist what would happen if his defect was not repaired. His answer was fairly simple; he would die.

I had come to Ecuador with rose-colored glasses! To me, every kid could be saved, and every outcome was good. I was not prepared for kids to die, but the team surgeon suggested that I select a patient, with whom I identified, and follow that patient through their recovery process. Of course, I chose Joel.

Page 7: Inside Newman Spring 2015

www.newmanu.edu 7

When we began the surgery to repair Joel’s heart defect, the team surgeon and local surgeon worked side-by-side to complete the case, meticulous in every action. The experience of seeing a human heart, and even being able to touch it while it contracted, was extremely humbling.

Joel did exceptionally well during the surgery and continued to improve with each day post-op. Slowly but surely, the snarky teenage antics returned, and Joel “the jokester” kept the entire ICU entertained. On the day that Joel went home, we shared an emotional “goodbye.” It was so incredible to watch him walk out the door, with a world of possibilities within reach: soccer, hanging out with friends, college, and so many other options were no longer hindered by his VSD. Thanks to the operation, he was no longer limited.Each patient had their own personality, story and unique obstacles to overcome, but the one thing they all shared was the impact they had on my life. I’m usually terrible with “goodbyes,” but each child leaving our ward signified a difference being made and the chance for a better future.

Throughout the mission, I experienced many “firsts.” I saw the general anesthesia process for the first time, witnessed the placing of intravenous and intra-arterial catheters and even had the honor of scrubbing for an open heart surgery! Most importantly, it was the first time I was able to comprehend the intensity of the trust each patient has in his or her physician. Each child had unconditional faith that we could take care of them.

Joel was just one of 19 patients on whom we operated during our two week stay in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Seeing new patients could be frustrating, especially when we found a child beyond our capabilities, but at the same time, those patients reaffirmed the reason for ICHF missions. We were there not only to operate on these children, but also to educate the community about early recognition and treatment of the congenital defects. This was the epitome of the mission—two different worlds coming together, learning, and teaching, all with the goal to help children.

Accountant,

poet,

mentor,

coach

“You are only as good as the things you love.”

Those are words to live by according to Dr. George Smith, Associate Professor of Accountancy at Newman and a man with many interesting hobbies.

At the beginning of Smith’s 20-year career at Newman, he made a point of being an active member of the Newman community, and has come to be very close with many students and colleagues. More recently, Smith decided to sit in on courses outside the Business division. These courses included history, theology—and the class that really got his attention—Creative Writing with Prof. Bryan Dietrich. In this class, Smith became a poet.

Each year Newman invites students and faculty to submit short stories, poetry and creative nonfiction manuscripts to the Coelacanth literary journal. Coelacanth (pronounced see-la-canth) is a professionally produced journal that offers two annual literary prizes judged by nationally known writers. After much debate, Dietrich was able to coax Smith into submitting a few poems. Soon after, Smith received an invitation from the English Department to the first readings of Coelacanth—and was astonished to find that he was the winner of the Sister Madeline Kisner Prize in Poetry.

As Smith continues his poetry career, he has been inspired by one particular poet: Wallace Stevens, an underwriter, attorney, Hartford Insurance Company executive and, in Smith’s opinion, the greatest American modernist poet of

the 20th century. Stevens was a deep thinker and wrote about everything, except business. This has motivated Smith to work on a series of poems about the business world, which he hopes to eventually compile into a book-length manuscript.

Long before he discovered his love for poetry, Smith was a well-known face on campus. Daily walks around the indoor track of O’Shaughnessy Hall allowed him to observe basketball practice. He soon became intrigued and was impressed with how the team prepared for each game. Before long, Head Men’s Basketball Coach Mark Potter invited Smith to the practices. Over the years, he has become an honorary coach and mentor for the team and remains active today keeping the game shot chart.

In the past, Smith has also served as mentor to the Newman Women’s Golf Team. This was a natural fit for Smith; even at an early age he had a passion for the game. His passion and appreciation not only existed on the course, but also on pen and paper. His contributions to golf literature and poetry have been published through an online forum, GolfWRX.com.

For George Smith, his experience at Newman has flowered into much more than teaching and developing accounting classes. It has allowed him to connect to a community and become a mentor for student-athletes. It has also permitted him to explore new knowledge, resulting in the discovery of his true passion—connecting the dots between the world of business and poetry.

Summer, 1964

It was the end of a another hot,

dusty summer as usual in those

days

up 4th street to Lamar Ave.

Walking towards town square

a copy of Texas Football stuck

under my arm to the lunch counter

at the drug store where I’d devour

every word and picture until they

fed

the tapeworm for football that

every Texas boy is born with

and feeds in the summer heat

that bakes us youngins’ until we are

as done as we will ever get. Done in

skin

and done of the Texas Panhandle

in so deep that it won’t never come

College Algebra: Living On Campus=Success

To expect cardboard boxes, a packed parking lot and a few tears from mom would be par for the course. Move-in day on college campuses everywhere shares the same handful of characteristics…but what happens after orientation is over and your parents have said their goodbyes?Being away from home and living on your own for the first time can be overwhelming, to say the least. Lucas Mullin, Director of Residence Life, likens living on campus to learning how to drive. “Think about when you first started driving,” he says. “Did someone just give you keys to a car and let you go? No! That would be awful for everyone involved. Resident Assistants (RAs) are students who exist to help students with the transition from living at home to living on campus. They help you get connected to events on campus and the resources you need to be successful.”

Being a RA entails a lot more than replacing light bulbs and letting locked-out students into their rooms. Students chosen to be RAs go through weeks of training before the start of school each fall, learning the policies and procedures of the university, plus the “Six Dimensions of Wellness,” a theory used on many college campuses to develop programs and events geared toward creating well-rounded students.

Veteran RAs, like senior Haley Hungate, are challenged to be creative and to plan purposeful programming throughout the school year. Last year, for example, she partnered with another student, Alex Beck, to form “Valentine’s Day Bingo,” in which

Page 11: Inside Newman Spring 2015

www.newmanu.edu 11

students from her dorm competed against each other for prizes. The event gave her residents the chance to bond and get to know each other better.

“I really enjoy being an RA. I’ve staked my claim here at Newman, and people know and trust me. It’s a good feeling,” says Haley. “Being an RA is a 24/7 job—it isn‘t easy—but I’m glad to have the opportunity!”

Currently, Newman boasts four different residence halls, some set up as traditional, suite-style adjoining rooms, and others with a more modern, apartment-style feel. Students living in these dorms have access to living room and kitchen areas, in addition to private bedrooms. Laundry facilities and recreational areas exist in each building, and students can choose from multiple meal plan options.

When Haley isn’t settling a roommate disagreement or planning her hall’s next program, she is also a very active member of Newman’s community. In addition

to being an RA, Haley is a member of Ambassadors for Christ, the Student Government Association, Campus Ministry and participates in music ensembles and theatre productions. Most recently, she played the lead character, Elle Woods, in “Legally Blonde: The Musical,” a character she says was “hard to let go.” She wasn’t too busy however to secure a position several months ahead of graduation as an accountant at Koch Industries in Wichita, a job she’ll start after commencement this May.

You might be surprised to know that, even though Haley has lived on campus every year at Newman, she is originally from Wichita. A 2011 graduate of Kapaun Mount Carmel Catholic High School, she chose to live on campus for a variety of reasons.

“I wanted to learn how to be on my own, and I also think you miss out on a lot of activities if you live off campus,” says Haley. “You really get to find out who you are and make your own decisions when you’re immersed in a new environment with a lot of different people.”

Director of Residence Life, Lucas Mullin, also stands by the benefits of living on campus. “Students who live on campus experience the convenience of being close to the school’s vast academic resources,” he says. “Historically, these students have a higher GPA, are more involved and graduate sooner.”

Though being a part of the Residence Life staff is a lot of work, everyone has seen their fair share of odd situations.“I’ve been startled by a possum in the dumpster,” explains Haley. “Most recently, there were two crying students at my door, requesting more toilet paper, in order to wipe their tears from watching The Fault in Our Stars, ha-ha!”

With the Class of 2018 about to finish its first year at Newman, Lucas looks to the future. “Our programs are constantly evolving, and I challenge the student RAs to come up with new, creative ideas for events.” says Lucas. “I want our students to have the best experience possible while living on campus.”

Newman has a saying within the Art Department: “Big Ideas. Little Art School.” At Newman, we take pride in being small, yet in many ways Newman is progressive for its size. With more than 12 years under our belt as a Final Friday participant (see following page), an impressive post-graduate employment rate, and alumni working as professional artists, Newman’s art scene is more dynamic than you might think.

Located in the De Mattias Fine Arts Center, this little art school has outgrown its classrooms and studios. De Mattias houses the Steckline Gallery, a professional gallery featuring exhibits by different artists each month. Currently, the gallery is filled with photographs by Larry Schwarm, highlighting his recent trip to Cuba with a group of his students from Wichita State University.

However, not all art at Newman is done by professionals. Walking along the hall of De Mattias you can see students’ paintings, drawings, sculptures and easels with and without canvas–and that’s just in the hallway! Once you step into the studio it’s hard not to be inspired. Students have access to potter’s wheels, canvas, metal, an age-old printing press and enough other tools to make the unimaginable possible!

With all these toys it can be hard to remember that art is a major degree path. While conventional thinking may push students into engineering and business—degrees that are proven to get students jobs—art is not to be underestimated. One of the core strengths of studying art is the diversity of career options it provides. Dentistry students will most likely become dentists. Accounting majors are highly likely to become accountants. Art students however, work in the fields of business, public

relations, administration, art therapy and conservation, to name only a few.

With seven concentrations—clay, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture—an art degree from Newman offers a host of career options. Many students combine their art major with a minor from another department, such as communication, journalism, marketing, business, psychology or education. This gives students a better knowledge of how their art can be applied to varying fields.

“My favorite part about the Art

Department is the variety of art

classes offered. You can take the

normal classes like drawing and

painting, but there are also great

printmaking classes as well as

sculpture. [Director of Visual Arts[

Mary Werner also makes the Art

Department worth being in. She has a

love for art that she instills in all

of her students, and she will help

you find what type of art might be

best-suited to you.”

Want free fun? Wait until Friday.For nearly 15 years art galleries in Wichita have been opening their doors to the general public the last Friday evening of each month (excluding December). Initially a way for galleries to attract veteran art lovers and potential patrons alike, Final Friday has exploded to become a full-on Wichita tradition. To make the deal even sweeter most venues serve snacks, wine and may even offer live music.

The first to open is Newman’s Steckline Gallery. While hours vary between the different galleries most are open from 7:00-9:00 p.m. With Newman opening the doors at 5:00 p.m., many participants will visit campus, and then grab a bite to eat in historic Old Town while waiting for the majority of galleries to open. Worried about downtown parking on a Friday night? Don’t be. Park wherever is convenient, as the Q-line trolley runs for free all night with frequent stops all around downtown. Want to meet a favorite artist? Many of the galleries will host the artists to discuss their work and mingle with potential buyers. All of the galleries have art for sale, and who better to buy from than the artist who created the work?

Maybe you’re an art enthusiast and have already seen many of the galleries this month. No worries; typically venues use Final Friday as a chance to open brand new exhibits or to retire old ones. Who knows, this could be a chance to discover a new favorite piece of art. While the galleries are spread across Wichita, the most visible and populated section is Commerce Street. With seven galleries gathered into a large city block, it can get busy.

Final Friday is a blast; a truly great event for art enthusiasts, families, couples, or anyone just looking for a fun night out. So why not check it out next month, what do you have to lose?

For a complete list of participating galleries and venues each month be sure to visit downtownwichita.org

Imagine walking into your very first college class. You’ve been thinking about this day for years, and you’re excited, but the unknowns race through your head. How many people will there be? Am I dressed like a college student? Did I buy the right book? The anxiety builds as you open the door and walk into a room full of new faces.

That wasn’t so bad! But as you leave, thinking about the plethora of papers and projects listed on the syllabus and making your way to the next building, the self-doubt starts all over again. What will the professor be like? Am I walking into the correct classroom? Is this even the right building? As you hold your breath, you grip the handle, open the door, and . . . stop in your tracks. Aren’t these the same people from my last class? What are they doing here?

Welcome to your Learning Community!

Students who choose to attend Newman University are asked to select one when enrolling for classes. But what exactly is a “learning community?”

It’s precisely what it sounds like – a community of learners! Each fall, groups of 18 to 24 freshmen experience a couple of their first college classes (plus a freshman seminar) together. This feeling of community fosters strong relationships between fellow students and with faculty members. Along with a student facilitator, who serves as a mentor, freshmen engage in relevant and meaningful course work as they encounter exciting connections between diverse subjects. They also learn what it takes to be a successful college student by orienting themselves to Newman University and the various services offered to its students.

Learning Communities:

Finding

Your Nicheat Newman

“I liked being able to make friends with a group of people right away,” remarks Miranda Hejny, a freshman from Great Bend, Kan. “The first few days were overwhelming enough, so it was nice knowing I had friends already!”

National data suggests that students who participate in a learning community are more likely to stay enrolled in college and have an overall higher GPA. To Professor of History Dr. Cheryl Golden, the collaborative classes are a huge asset to Newman and its students.

“Learning communities allow new students to form common bonds, outside the comforts of their hometown and athletic team,” Golden says, “and it allows them to gain confidence in learning new material.”

Not only is the faculty raving about these classes, but the students see the value in it as well.

Delaney, a freshman from Topeka, Kan., says, “It gives students who haven’t quite found their niche yet an opportunity to meet others that share their same interests.”

This coming fall, new students will be able to choose from five different learning communities, each with its own unique combination of classes. Students are encouraged to choose a learning community that is most interesting to them or most appropriate for their intended major.
