Madison, NJ – Students who begin their education at County College of Morris (CCM) in Randolph can seamlessly transfer to Drew University and get a four-year degree in a number of selected majors, thanks to a new dual admissions agreement between Drew University and CCM.Drew University President Vivian A. Bull and County College of Morris President Edward J. Yaw, signed the historic admissions agreement at a ceremony at 12 noon on Wednesday, February 12, 2014.
“We’re proud to be able to build upon our long-standing relationship with Drew University to offer this dual-admission program that will allow our students to seamlessly earn both their associate and bachelor’s degrees,” said Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president, County College of Morris.
Starting in the fall of 2014, CCM students with a 3.0 GPA or higher, may apply to transfer to Drew University upon completing certain conditions of admission:
Submitting a “Dual Admission Intent” form to Drew University before earning 45 credits at CCM
Submitting a completed application to Drew University including CCM transcripts

Partnership With Lundbeck Benefits Students On and Off Campus
Madison, NJ – Lundbeck US, a pharmaceutical firm best known as the manufacturer of Abilify and Lexapro, is partnering with Drew University to provide students with internships and high-powered scientific equipment.Drew’s science students started working at the Lundbeck campus in Secaucus a year ago, doing research in laboratories alongside professional scientists. They will continue this spring.
Megan McAleavy, a 2013 graduate, was majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology at Drew when she became an intern at Lundbeck last year. After graduation, she worked there in the summer and was hired last fall in a position she hopes will become permanent.
“I’m working with people who are really experienced and extremely smart and love what they do,” she said. “It’s just a great working environment.”
McAleavy said she works in cell culture and assay development, designing experiments and studying how cells react to different compounds; research that can be used in the creation of new medicines in the future.
She said getting an off-campus internship helped focus her future career goals. “It was great to find out the passion for research I developed at Drew translated into a professional setting,” she said. “My goal is to work in research and discovery at a pharmaceutical company.”
Stevin Zorn, executive vice president of Lundbeck Research, USA, said his company chose Drew students for internships specifically because of Drew’s neuroscience program. Lundbeck specializes in medicines to treat neurological disorders.
Zorn said the upperclassmen are doing hands-on research while being mentored by professional scientists. “They’re actually participating in the experiments and research we’re doing to discover drugs,” he explained.
Ron Doll, a fellow in the RISE Institute at Drew, agreed. “The students are doing front-line drug discovery, they’re synthesizing compounds, doing research collaboration and helping in publications,” he said. “It is a serious internship there.”
Lundbeck also has improved scientific research on the Drew campus by donating a 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer (NMR). The superconducting magnet in a NMR spectrometer allows students to study the structure of molecules in organic compounds.
Most universities could not afford to purchase such a device and students using it are gaining skills they can use on the job, said Doll. Zorn said Lundbeck decided to donate the powerful machine to replace Drew’s outdated one rather than sell it. “We wanted to donate it where kids could benefit.”
McAleavy, 23, said the new NMR will help Drew students stay competitive with students at other universities. “It’s going to open a lot of doors for Drew students and help them analyze research that is more cutting edge than before.”
McAleavy, recommended the Lundbeck experience to other Drew students. “Lundbeck is a great place to intern because it will prepare you for research in a professional setting.”
Zorn added, “The scientists that sponsor students love having the students around. It keeps us sharp. New ideas come in and that gets us excited.”
Lundbeck US specializes in medicines that treat psychiatric and neurological diseases including: alzheimer’s disease, alcohol dependence, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, strokes and Huntington’s disease.

• Prof Edwards: Teach the Whole StoryMontclair district wants to teach the whole story of America's history BY GEORGE WIRT
STAFF WRITER
THE MONTCLAIR TIMES
For William Payne, it's about telling the whole story of America's history.
Drew University professor Lillie Johnson Edwards addresses the audience during the recent Amistad Roundtable in Charles Bullock Elementary School.
The former state assemblyman, who helped author New Jersey's landmark Amistad legislation requiring that the accomplishments of African-Americans be infused into school curriculums, is happy to see the Montclair School District is complying with law. But Payne admits to being frustrated that there are still too many districts that are not.
"Montclair is doing the right thing," Payne told The Montclair Times. "But I'm not pleased at all with the lack of progress that has been made in this legislation.
"If we had history books in this country that left out Paul Revere and Nathan Hale, people would be up in arms," he said. "I feel the same way about leaving out the African-Americans who also played a role in our history."
According to Payne, "students deserve the whole picture, and not just a snapshot of history. We have to bring about change."
Bringing about that change was the focus of a discussion on the Amistad mandate during a public forum last week sponsored by the district and held in Charles H. Bullock Jr. Elementary School.
Joining Payne on the panel were James Harris, the former state NAACP chair and former associate dean of students and university ombudsman at Montclair State University; Stephanie James Wilson, executive director of the N.J. State Amistad Commission; and Lillie Johnson Edwards, director of Pan-African Studies and American Studies at Drew University.
"This is great step forward for Montclair," noted Harris. "But there is still so much more that needs to be done."
Davida Harewood, the social studies supervisor for Montclair's public schools, said the district's commitment to making sure that its curriculum meets the Amistad requirements, is just one facet of the district's response.
Harewood said the district will also provide Amistad professional development for its teachers and is encouraging the community to get involved in the Amistad compliance effort.
The district is inviting the public to participate in three upcoming roundtables.
• "Independent Lens: More Than a Month" examining Shukree Hassan Tilghman and the 29-year-old African-American filmmaker's cross-country campaign to end Black History Month, will occur next Thursday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m. in the Mount Hebron Middle School auditorium, 173 Bellevue Ave.
• "Women's History and the Amistad Mandate" with Saundra Collins, a Montclair State University professor of psychology, will occur on Thursday, March 6, at 7 p.m. in the Hillside School auditorium, 54 Orange Road.
• "One Noble Journey: A Box Marked Freedom" with playwright and actor Mike Wiley, will tell the story of Henry "Box" Brown, an African-American who had himself mailed to freedom, on Tuesday, March 18, at 7 p.m. in the Little Theatre in the George Inness Annex of Montclair High School, 141 Park St.
"My hope is that the public will walk away from these events with more knowledge of American history with the burning desire and curiosity of wanting to know what else am I missing from American history," said Abraham Dickerson, a parent volunteer who has campaigned for compliance with the Amistad legislation.
Gail Clarke, the district's chief academic officer, said the state Department of Education's decision to adopt the Common Core State Standards provided the district with a unique opportunity.
"When the district wrote new curriculum for the Common Core, we made sure to infuse the Amistad requirements," Clarke explained. "The timing was definitely advantageous for us."
Payne said that, 16 years after the law was written, a large segment of the public is still unaware of its provisions.
"The law requires that the school curriculum be "all inclusive of African-American history into U.S. history and not separate or apart," Payne noted. "We're not talking about black history and we're not talking about something that should be taught during Black History Month, but should be taught all year round."
"People need to understand that we're just not talking to, and trying to teach black kids about their heritage," he explained. "We're teaching American kids, black and white, about the role African-Americans played along with others to make this country what it is."

• NY Premier of Prof Weston’s "The People Could Fly"
CALENDAR OF EVENTS - PERFORMANCE
THE PEOPLE COULD FLY
The Ensemble Du Monde and Music Director, Marlon Daniel, will perform works by composers of African descent from the time of Mozart till today. The concert features the New York premiere of Trevor Weston’s evocative and newly revised work for violin, narrator and chamber orchestra, The People Could Fly based on African American folklore. Trevor’s inspiration for this new work was the African American folktale, “The People Could Fly”. He chose this subject matter for several reasons: the imagery of enslaved Africans escaping plantations in the US, the ideals of hope in a desperate and deplorable situation, the transcendence of oppression and the fantastical of the idea of Black people having the magical ability to fly back to Africa (some believed a metaphor for the underground railroad). The first documented version of this folktale is connected to the Gullah people, African Americans living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Trevor’s piece uses performance practices from Gullah Spirituals in his work. The syncopated foot stamping and clapping pattern in Gullah Spirituals gave Trevor the impression of humans trying to fly. For this reason, Gullah performance practices are used by the string orchestra (players to stamp their feet while playing their instruments). Dynamic young violinist Josh Henderson, who performed the original world premiere of the work and the incomparable Chapman Roberts, of Broadway fame and creator of Black Stars of the Great White Way, will highlight this performance. Other works on the program include the Symphonie in G Major, Op.11, No. 1 by Afro-Caribbean classical period composer Joseph Bologne (1745 –1799), Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s virtuosic Four Novellettes, Op. 52 and William Grant Still’s poetic tone poem, Mother and Child.

• Drew partnership receives NJ Award for Innovation
Chief Executive Council for Madison Celebrates Impact and NJ State's Innovation Award at First Anniversary
(3BL Media Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Founding Chairs from Quest Diagnostics, Drew University, and the Borough of Madison receive award from NJ State Senator Richard Codey | CECP CEO Daryl Brewster delivers keynote to CEOs on the business value of doing good, recognizing Madison as a modelSOURCE: CECP DESCRIPTION:Madison, NJ, February 6,2014 /3BL Media/ – The Chief Executive Council For Madison(CECM) (watch feature video) was presented with the State of New Jersey Department of Community Affairs Award for Innovation in Governance by State Senator and Former Governor Richard Codey at their biannual meeting and anniversary celebration. The award highlights exemplary local government programs that provide innovative and practical approaches to solving municipal problems and concerns. The honor was presented at a January 22nd meeting where CECM convened local and national leaders to build further collaborations to strengthen the community, celebrate progress over the last year, and learn about national trends impacting the local area. View a video of the event.
“Congratulations to the Borough of Madison and its partners -- Quest, Drew and all of the Chief Executive Council for Madison executive members for your innovation. Your work makes a difference in the lives of the people of New Jersey,” said State Senator and Former Governor Codey, when presenting the award to the founding chairs.
In its first year, CECM committed to supporting the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study (CPS-3), adopting the town of Union Beach, NJ, whose infrastructure and families were devastated by Hurricane Sandy, and creating an ‘Emerging Leaders’ initiative that would foster the next generation of leaders in Madison. The community helped the Society exceed its local CPS-3 enrollment goals, provided more than $300,000 of support to Union Beach, and partnered with Junior Achievement to create an ‘Emerging Leaders’ speaker series at Madison High School and Drew University with participating executives The Chief Executive Council for Madison was founded by Steve Rusckowski, CEO of Quest Diagnostics; Madison Mayor Bob Conley; and Dr. Vivian A. Bull, President of Drew University to connect local corporate chief executives living in or leading businesses in Madison for networking, collaboration for collective community impact, and education leadership. Also in attendance were Mayor Paul Smith of Union Beach, NJ, and executives from Junior Achievement, Madison Area YMCA, Wells Fargo, Realogy, Pfizer, Prudential, Investors Bank, and others.
“Making a difference in people’s lives extends far beyond our primary job of providing diagnostic insights,” said Steve Rusckowski. “We’re happy that the collaborative work of the Chief Executive Council for Madison has been recognized, but we’re more happy about the results we’ve achieved. I think Mayor Conley, Dr. Bull and the CECM members would agree that 2013 was a building year for us and 2014 is just getting started. I look forward to the great things to come.” CECP CEO Daryl Brewster shared with CECM members that the 2014 Edelman Trust Barometer found that 84 percent of those surveyed agree that businesses should play a role in solving societal issues while also making a profit. He reiterated that a clear connection between business strategy and community needs is no longer nice to do, but a must do. “One of most important pillars of the work that CECP promotes for companies to engage in effective societal investments is collaboration,” said Brewster. “Madison is a case study for other communities to take note of to bridge across sectors and put the talents of a variety of people to work for the community.” Looking forward to 2014 impact and beyond, the group announced, in honor of Dr. Bull, the Vivian A. Bull CECM Emerging Leaders Fellows Program at Drew University, funded by member organizations and executives, to support learning internships and ‘Emerging Leader’ education activities, and the establishment of the CECM Inspiring Leadership Award, presented in its inaugural year to Jim Burnet, Assistant Borough Administrator of Madison for his pivotal role in bringing together stakeholders to help CECM take life in its first year.

A Word From... President Vivian A. Bull and Trustee Chair Dean Criares '85
The talk in higher education today is all about the “internationalization” of college campuses and the need to connect U.S. students more intentionally and more fully to the global community.Drew has a long and proud history of moving students out of the classroom and into settings that grow their understanding of the world and of themselves. From New York and London to Seoul and Cameroon, these programs prepare our domestic students to take their place in a global society, one that grows closer and more complex every day.
In that same spirit, inviting more international undergraduate students to be educated here in the United States is a trend rapidly gaining momentum. A recent study done for the U.S. State Department showed that more than 800,000 foreign students studied in the United States in 2012-13, a seven percent increase from the year before.
The concept is a rich one, giving America’s next generation the opportunity to learn with, and from, global peers here at home.
With approval from Drew’s Board of Trustees, the university is in negotiations with INTO University Partnerships, a global education firm that establishes joint ventures with universities with the express purpose of creating globally diverse college populations.
Drew is a singularly attractive prospect for international students. Our proximity to New York City and our distinctive programs taking advantage of it are unparalleled among small, liberal arts universities. Educating an expanded student population with an international focus is also a welcome opportunity to boost Drew’s name recognition on a global scale.
A decision on whether Drew will enter into partnership with INTO is expected very soon. After a contract is signed, the first INTO New York at Drew University students would join us in fall 2014.
This is a significant step for Drew, but one firmly in line with our long global focus, which stretches back to the introduction in 1962 of London Semester and the country’s first United Nations Semester for undergraduates. But we can do even better than that: The seminal relationship that began between Drew Theological Seminary and Korea in the late 19th century is a bond that flourishes even today.

DeeDee Corradini Makes History in Sochi
When You Watch Women’s Ski Jumping in Sochi, Think of DeeDee Corradini

On Tuesday, for the first time ever, women from around the world will compete in ski-jumping at a Winter Olympics. They have a former Drew student to thank for that.
Deedee Corradini, who attended Drew in the early 1960s, later served two terms as the only female mayor in the history of Salt Lake City. But for nearly a decade now, as president of Women’s Ski Jumping USA, Corradini has been the driving force behind the struggle to convince the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that women ski jumpers should be allowed to compete at the Winter Games. Their male counterparts, after all, have been competing for Olympic gold since the first Winter Games, in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Nearly a century later, ski jumping and Nordic Combined (which pairs cross-country skiing and ski jumping) were the only sports in the Winter or Summer Games that did not offer events for women.
On the day in April 2011 when the IOC announced that it was adding women’s ski jumping to the Winter Olympics, the American team was gathered in Corradini’s home in Park City, Utah, huddled around the dining room table while listening to a live press conference from London. “As soon as they said, ‘Women’s ski jumping,’ we all whooped in excitement,” Corradini recalls. “Almost just as fast there was dead silence. I cried. It was really more relief. It took a long time.”
The women’s struggle included an unsuccessful lawsuit brought against the Vancouver Organizing Committee (Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics) before the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Supreme Court. The women also had to cope with some less-evolved thinking from the sport’s leading authorities. In 2005, Gian-Franco Kasper, the president of the International Ski Federation and a member of the IOC, famously opined that he didn’t think women should ski jump because the sport “seems not to be appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view.”
“Like our uteruses were going to fall out,” Corradini deadpans.
Corradini, who was scheduled to arrive in Sochi last week, sounds confident that the U.S. women’s team is poised to make history in Russia. All five members of the team rank among the world’s top fifteen women jumpers, including Sarah Hendrickson, the 2013 world champion, and Lindsey Van, the 2009 world champion and a 16-time U.S. champion.
“We have tremendous possibilities for medals in Sochi,” Corradini says. “We’re hoping for at least one, if not two.”—Christopher Hann

Watch: NBC will stream Women’s Ski Jumping live from Sochi, Russia, on Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 12:30 p.m. The NBC broadcast of the competition follows on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 5:30 p.m.
