28 | A Note From the First Year Center

Most of you have not had the opportunity

to visit us since late summer. Now that

we are nearly halfway through the fall

semester, there is a hum of activity

throughout the campus. Our student

organizations are in full swing, planning

interesting events and programs. Students

are immersed in their academic pursuits,

spending time in the residence hall

study rooms, studios, or in our many

campus libraries, reading or writing,

and working together on projects. Our

new students have made many new

friends and our returning students have

reconnected with their classmates.

Parent & Family Weekend is the time for

us to share our community with you, our

families. As a parent myself, I know that all

of you are here primarily to spend time with

your students. But, I hope you have the

opportunity to experience the Washington

University community during your short

visit. Attend a course taught by one of our

internationally recognized faculty members.

Cheer on our football team as they take on

Oberlin College at Francis Field. Enjoy a

cup of coffee at Whispers Café in the Olin

Library or in the Tisch Commons of the

Danforth University Center. Visit the many

new spaces on our newly updated South

40 - a space we are all very proud of!

There is always

much to do and see

on our campus, and

I am delighted that

you are able to join

us. Please accept

my best wishes for

a rewarding visit.

Sincerely yours,

Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton

On behalf of all of my colleagues here at Washington University, welcome

to Parent & Family Weekend 2010! It is a great privilege to have so many of

you join us for a few days to see your students in their second home.

Welcome from the Chancellor

Parent Programs

Parent Programs Team

The Parent Programs team works to serve

the needs of all Washington University

parents. If you are ever in need of

assistance, please contact the Parent

Programs Office at (800) 247-8517.

Zach Silvers – Associate Director

Angela Ness – Associate Director

Jeanette Brew – Administrative Assistant

Danielle Janek – Department Secretary

As a parent of a Washington University

student, it is important that you have

the opportunity to connect with fellow

parents and the University. There are

many ways for Washington U. parents to

stay informed, involved, and connected.

Ways Parents Get Involved

The Alumni & Parents Admission Program:

Parent members have the opportunity to

serve as ambassadors for the University,

host or attend receptions for admitted and

enrolling students, represent the University

at college fairs, and be resources for

parents of recently admitted students.

The Career Center: Parents can become

part of the Washington University

professional community by posting any

co-op, internship, or full-time positions

their organization may have available. A

parent can also assist the University by

introducing Career Center staff to their

Human Resources or recruiting team.

Be A Hometown Ambassador: Many

parents volunteer to host events in

their home for alumni, parents, and

friends of the University. Parents also

attend events in their hometowns to get

better connected to Washington U.

Washington University is far more

than an academic institution – it is

a community that brings together

individuals from all over the world.

Parents are valuable members

of this dynamic community.

Although geographically scattered,

Washington University parents

share a central value: they want

each student to have the best

undergraduate experience possible.

Where Your Gift Will Go

Gifts to the Parents Annual Fund support

the school in which your student is

enrolled or other programs you choose to

designate. Each dean or director selects

priorities for parents’ gifts to that school or

program, such as enhancing technology

or providing career development services

for students. The Parents Annual Fund is

expended during the current academic

year to help attract the highest caliber

faculty and to strengthen your student’s

school or favorite program.

Why Give?

Parents make gifts to support Washington

University for a number of reasons:

They appreciate their son or daughter’s

experience at the University.

They believe in the value of

supporting excellence in education.

They realize 60% of students receive

scholarships or financial aid to

attend the University. By providing

scholarship support, the Parents

Annual Fund helps to ensure diversity

in the student body that enriches

the learning experience for all.

They see an opportunity to have

a transformational impact on the

University and on some of its students.

It feels good to know they’re

making a difference!

Tuition covers only a portion of the

total cost to educate each student.

The Parents Annual Fund makes an

immediate impact to enhance the college

experience for your son or daughter.

William Greenleaf Eliot Society

Your gift of $1,000 or more to the Parents

Annual Fund will be recognized with

membership in the William Greenleaf

Eliot Society. Eliot Society members help

Washington University sustain and build

on its stature as one of the world’s leading

institutions of teaching and research.

Membership also carries many benefits,

including parking privileges on the

Danforth Campus—for more information,

please call Parent Programs at (800) 247-

8517 or e-mail [email protected].

How To Give?

To contribute to the Parents Annual Fund,

please visit: www.wustl.edu/community/

parents/parentsfund.html or call the Parent

Programs Office at (800) 247-8517.

The Alumni and Parents Admission

Program (APAP) is a group of dedicated

Washington University alumni and parents

who assist with the undergraduate

admissions process. APAP members

help the University recruit, interview, and

enroll talented students. Washington

University parents are in a special

position to communicate undergraduate

student experiences, as well as what

is to be gained from a WU education.

In addition, they help to personalize

what might otherwise seem like a

formal and form-laden application. Few

people are better qualified to promote

Washington University than parents

of current Washington U. students.

Parent members of APAP have an

important perspective to share with

prospective parents and students as they

consider Washington University. APAP

parent members may host and attend

receptions; staff College Fairs; participate

in Parent to Parent Calling, the Parents

Resource List, and the International

Resource List; and help to spread the word

about Washington U. in their communities.

APAP allows parents and alumni to

make a significant contribution to

How Can You Become Part of APAP?

the WU community from their local

communities. It also enables parents

and alumni to make connections with

one another in cities all over the world.

For information about how to get

involved with APAP or to join, please

visit apap.wustl.edu, or contact us at

(800 or 314) 935-4826 or [email protected].

Family Ties

Family Ties is an e-newsletter that is

sent out 4 times during the academic

year to parent and family members of

Washington University students. To

sign up, please visit www.wustl.edu/

community/parents/stayinformed.html.

The Parents Annual

Fund is a vital part

of the Washington

University Annual

Fund. Annual gifts

provide unrestricted

resources that

enhance the

Washington U.

experience for

every student.

Freshman Reading Program

The book selected for the 2010 Freshman

Reading Program is The Reluctant

Fundamentalist, by Mohsin Hamid. In this

engaging and suspenseful novel, a young

Pakistani man tells an American his story

over a meal in a Lahore marketplace.

The book explores complex themes

of culture, identity, profiling, coming of

age, and the immigrant experience. By

leaving much open to interpretation,

the author encourages the reader to

contemplate and confront his or her own

perspectives, ideas, and assumptions.

Faculty members who participated in

the Freshman Reading Program floor

discussions will provide parents with an

inside view of what transpired during

Orientation. Please come join in the

conversation even if you have not had

the opportunity to read this year’s book!

tour of our two fall exhibitions:

Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum

Permanent Collection

The Bernoudy Permanent Collection Gallery

includes selections from the Museum’s

outstanding collection. The gallery is

organized thematically into four sections:

Landscape, Portraiture, Abstraction, and

the Everyday. The installation focuses

on the ways in which artists in the 19th,

20th, and 21st centuries have negotiated

the upheavals of modernization—new

technologies, radical political changes,

rapid urbanization, increased consumerism,

the spread of the mass media—and the

subsequent challenges to notions of artistic

creativity, originality, and authorship.

Rivane Neuenschwadner:

A Day Like Any Other

The first major mid-career survey of

this internationally recognized Brazilian

artist, this exhibition covers a decade of

Parent & Family Weekend 2010WUSTL GUIDE WUSTL GUIDE

Neuenschwander’s work, revealing her

wide-ranging, interdisciplinary practice

that merges painting, photography, film,

sculpture, installation, collaborative actions,

and participatory events. Her authorship

of the work is primary, but she also

functions as an editor, collaborator, social

organizer, and commissioning agent. Like

her predecessors Lygia Clark and Hélio

Oiticica, Neuenschwander resists a singular

direction in her practice, creating a series

of organic relationships that interweave

themes such as nature, language,

temporality, and the poetry of the quotidian.

Performance of The Threepenny Opera**

Look out - Old Mackie is back!  Inspired

by John Gay's 18th -century hit The

Beggar's Opera, Brecht's nefarious Mac

the Knife -- "the shark with white kid

gloves" -- lurks in London's shadowy

underworld, making his deadly mischief. 

A true masterpiece of the "Weimar" era,

Brecht's sardonically funny script and Kurt

Weill's jazzy score created a theatrical

sensation when it was first produced in

1928.  The Threepenny Opera has proven

to be Brecht and Hauptmann's most

popular work, serving as an inspiration

for Cabaret, Chicago, and Urinetown.

“If you tried to give rock and roll

another name, you might call it

‘Chuck Berry.’” — John Lennon

The man known as the “Father of

Rock ‘n’ Roll” will soon hold court

in The Loop 24/7. In November

2010, an eight foot-tall bronze

statue of legendary St. Louis rocker

Chuck Berry will begin standing

guard in Chuck Berry Plaza, located at

the intersection of Delmar Boulevard

and the Centennial Greenway Bike

Path in University City. St. Louis sculptor

Harry Weber will create the statue,

which shows the ever-fluid Rock and

Roll Hall of Famer in an old school

tuxedo with his trademark Gibson

guitar. The statue will be located across

the street from Blueberry Hill (blueberryhill.

restaurant and music club where

Berry still plays monthly concerts.

Crews are hard at work renovating,

restoring and re-fabbing the Peabody

Dear Parents,

We know that your sons and daughters

appreciate that you took the time to

come for Parent & Family Weekend. We

appreciate it as well and we hope that

you have a wonderful visit with your

children. This weekend you have the

opportunity to see how full their lives

have become. They are working hard in

the classroom, the laboratory, and the

library and they are volunteering in the

community, participating in performing arts

of various sorts—you’ll hear them talking

about Diwali—and they are playing varsity

and intramural sports. They may even

look tired—I’m always amazed, though, at

their reserves of energy and enthusiasm.

Please share with them how impressed

you are; they have certainly impressed us!
