New Director of Institutional Diversity Joins Wells College Community

Dr. Stephan Hiroshi Gilchrist will develop, implement diversity policy and programs

Dr. Stephan Hiroshi Gilchrist joined the Wells College community this fall as the new Director of Institutional Diversity. 

Dr. Gilchrist has taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels on topics including conflict resolution and community, multicultural and urban education, conflict management for educators, and intercultural conflict resolution.  At Wells, he will work collaboratively with the president, dean of students, the dean of the college, and other community members such as the President’s Committee on Diversity to design, monitor and implement diversity policy and programs and to oversee resources related to diversity. He will also supervise programs and units working with diversity initiatives.

“Steve is making many contributions to Wells College, not only in the area of assessing diversity needs and helping us become a more inclusive and tolerant community, but also in teaching us how to handle conflict better,” said Interim Dean of the College Leslie Miller-Bernal. “His background in both diversity and conflict management, and the intersections between them, are very valuable to Wells as we undergo transition.”

As the Director of Institutional Diversity at Wells College, Dr. Gilchrist envisions Wells becoming a leader on diversity issues locally, nationally, and internationally. Part of this vision entails creating an environment that fosters awareness and life long learning of the skills and knowledge necessary for all to live effectively and peacefully in a pluralistic democracy, and as part of a global society. This includes having an understanding of cultures and groups different than one’s own; developing the skills of dialogue, intercultural communication, and conflict resolution; and developing systems and structures that work for all people.

Gilchrist earned his Ed.D. in Educational Leadership and M.S. in Conflict Resolution from Portland State University, M.S. in Environmental Education from Southern Oregon University and his B.A. in International Business and Japanese from California State University Fullerton. 

In addition to his teaching and leadership experience, Gilchrist has served as an interracial dialogue facilitator for Oregon Uniting.  He runs his own consulting practice in Oregon serving clients by designing and facilitating trainings on dialogue, conflict resolution, and intercultural competency, and works as planning committee member, trainer, mediator, and facilitator for the Student Center for Dispute Resolution at Portland State University.

Two December graduates display their paintings as part of thesis project

The Wells College Art Department is pleased to present a fall senior thesis exhibit featuring paintings by December 2006 graduates Yuko Nishide and Valerie Piascik. The show opens on Wednesday, November 29 in the String Room Gallery, Main Building, and will run through December 14. The public is cordially invited to view the free exhibit. An opening reception on November 29 from 7:00 – 9:00pm offers an opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their work; light refreshments will be served.

Originally from Japan, Yuko Nishide’s family now resides in Rye, N.Y. Yuko was first introduced to landscape painting by Wells Professor of Art William Roberts. Her oils on canvas reflect the sense of distance she learned in class, depicting misty forests with a mysterious, dream-like quality. 

“My work expresses who I am at the moment,” said Yuko, a Studio Art major. “The colors I use in each painting reflect the mood I’m in at that time.” Although always an art enthusiast, Yuko expected to pursue a different major, until she met Professor Roberts. “He had a big influence on me,” she said.

Valerie Piascik of Weedsport, N.Y. transferred from Cayuga Community College knowing she wanted to study art at Wells. Valerie paints with oils on canvas paper and regular paper that she pre-treats with gesso.

“Gesso is a treatment used by artists to protect the paper from saturation,” explained Valerie. “I use this special paper and bold unblended crayon colors in my abstract landscapes.”

Describing herself as a “fast, sporadic painter,” Valerie has experimented with ballpoint pen and paint, combining the two media to “contrast the distinct differences between the bright colorful paint and the runniness of the pen.” Several of these pieces will be on display in this exhibit.

A Studio Art major with a concentration in painting, Valerie hopes to be a volunteer docent at Cornell’s Johnson Museum of Art next semester. 

Both student artists plan to find work in the arts and stay in the Finger Lakes area after graduation.

Senior theses are the culminating requirement of study at Wells College. Art seniors are expected to plan and implement the entire exhibit, including the creation of the artwork to be shown, hanging the pieces and preparing the gallery, coordinating the reception, and promoting the show. Art professor and gallery director William Roberts guides the students’ work in the studios and oversees the installation of the show. During Roberts’ sabbatical leave this semester, Visiting Art Instructor Melissa Roberts and Associate Professor of Art Ted Lossowski have assisted the student artists in preparing this show.

The String Room Gallery is located in Main Building. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information about the exhibit, please contact Associate Professor Ted Lossowski at 315/364-3344

Award-winning Cashore Marionettes troupe to perform “Life in Motion”

The Wells College Arts & Lecture Series Committee is pleased to present the Cashore Marionettes. The inventive performance will take place in Phipps Auditorium, Macmillan Hall on Friday, November 10, at 7:30 p.m. Prices are $6 for students, senior citizens and the Wells College community, and $10 for the general public; free for Wells students. Tickets are available at the door the night of the performance or from the box office the week preceding the show. Please call 315/364-3456 to reserve seats. 

The Cashore Marionettes are unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement. The performances, stunning in their intensity and simple beauty, have astounded audiences in North America, Europe, and the Far East, including stops at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Annenberg Center in Philadelphia, and many others.

In “Life in Motion,” Joseph Cashore presents his collection of marionette masterworks. Characters of depth, integrity, and humanity are portrayed in a full evening unlike anything else in theater today. The performance is a series of comic and poignant scenes taken from everyday life and set to music by R. Vaughan Williams, Vivaldi, Beethoven, J. Strauss, Haydn, Wagner, and other composers. The original vignettes celebrate life and explore a range of emotions, from comic to tragic, with characters and actions that are amazingly convincing and engaging. 

The performance is appropriate for children 12 and older. Running time is approximately 90 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. The taking of photographs or operating of recording devices during the performance is strictly prohibited.

Award-winning visual artist and puppeteer Joseph Cashore graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1971, and also studied portrait and figure painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He has been making marionettes for more than 30 years and has performed on a full-time basis since 1990. His talent in sculpture and portraiture is evident in his creations; all of the marionettes, clothing and props are made entirely by Mr. Cashore. 

Among Cashore’s awards and grants are a Pew Fellowship for Performance Art, a Henson Foundation Grant to promote puppetry to adult audiences, and a Citation of Excellence awarded by the Union Internationale de la Marionnette (UNIMA), the oldest international theater organization in the world. UNIMA says that its citations are “awarded to shows that touch their audiences deeply; that totally engage, enchant, and enthrall.”

The Wells College Arts & Lecture Series features professional guest artists and performers who are brought to campus to enrich the cultural and academic components of Wells as a learning community. The acts are selected annually by a committee composed of Wells faculty, staff, and students.

Other performances in the 2006-07 Arts & Lecture Series include a lecture on Brown v. Board of Education by Leon Bates on February 9, 2007; and a concert by Irish rock-punk band The Prodigals on April 14, 2007.

Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit brings comedy hit to Aurora

The Wells College Theatre Department proudly presents Blithe Spirit as this fall’s student drama production. The performance will be featured on Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Phipps Auditorium, Macmillan Hall. There will also be a 2:00 matinee on Sunday, November 5.

In this smash comedy hit by Noel Coward, protagonist Charles Condomine invites into his English country home an eccentric medium to teach him about the occult. Little does Charles or his second wife dream that a séance staged by the medium will summon back Charles’ first wife, now “passed over” for seven years. Hilarity ensues as wife #1 tries to make a ghost of Charles so he can be with her in the spirit world. Mistakes occur, however, and it is wife #2 who takes a fatal automobile ride and passes on to the ever-after. Now, two blithe spirits return to bedevil the utterly bewildered Charles. 

Several Wells students have leading roles in the play. Oren Robinson ’09 is Charles; BethAnne Nelson ’07 stars as second wife Ruth; and Elizabeth Chacchia ‘07 is mischievous first wife Elvira. Madame Arcati is played by Lindsey Cahoon ’09 and Nate Boggess ’10 and Corinna Rogers ’08 portray Dr. and Mrs. Bradman. A number of other students make up the crew. Lights and set design by Wells technical director Joe DeForest.

University of Arizona Distinguished Professor of Astronomy Chris Impey to give lecture, visit classes

Distinguished Professor of Astronomy Chris Impey will be on the Wells College campus October 24 and 25 for a two-day residency as the 2006-07 Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar. As part of his campus visit, Dr. Impey will give a public lecture on Tuesday, October 24 entitled “The End of the World: Astronomy meets Eschatology.” The lecture will take place at 4:45 p.m. in the Art Exhibit Room, Macmillan Hall.  The event is free and the public is invited to attend. The public is also invited to a community coffee with Dr. Impey that morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Art Exhibit Room.

Dr. Chris Impey is a University of Arizona Distinguished Professor in the department of astronomy. His public lecture will discuss the biggest question of them all – the ultimate purpose of human kind on earth – and will compare and contrast the beliefs of eschatologists and astronomers as they ponder the meaning of “the end times.” 

Eschatology, from the Greek meaning “last,” is the study of last things and is primarily concerned with the final prophetic events mentioned in the Bible. Eschatology is a part of theology and philosophy concerned with the final events in the history of the world or the ultimate destiny of human kind, commonly phrased as “the end of the world.” Awareness of Biblical prophecy has increased in recent years as a result of the turn of the millennium.

Astronomers and cosmologists study the structure and origins of the entire universe and provide scientific insight into the eventual challenge Earth will face when the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel. Impey will talk about the threat to life on Earth, the cycle of star birth and death, the passage of our solar system through the Milky Way, and the conclusion that ultimately, seemingly wild theories played out in popular movies and fiction may not be that far off the mark.

During his time on campus, Impey will also make several classroom appearances and meet informally with Wells faculty and students. 

“We are pleased and fortunate to have such a distinguished scholar at Wells,” said Professor of Physics Scott Heinekamp, who helped organize Dr. Impey’s visit to Wells. “Dr. Impey comes from one of the most prestigious university astronomy departments in the country.”

Impey is the recipient of eleven teaching awards, including being named the National Science Foundation Distinguished Teaching Scholar in 2002 and Arizona Teacher of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation. In 2005, he was selected a Galileo Circle Scholar, the College of Science’s highest honor. He created the Astronomica Web site which provides students with interactive tools and instructional technology, and has been instrumental in curriculum development in astrobiology.

Professor Impey’s research interests are in observational cosmology, gravitational lensing, and the evolution and structure of galaxies. He is co-author of two textbooks, The Cosmic Journey and Universe Revealed, and currently serves as vice president of the American Astrological Society and on the editorial board of Astronomy Education Review. Impey earned his B.S. at the University of London and a Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Chris Impey’s visit is part of the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program. Each year, the program makes available 12 or more distinguished scholars who visit 100 colleges and universities with chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. They spend two days on each campus, meeting informally with students and faculty members, taking part in classroom discussions, and giving a public lecture open to the entire academic community. Now entering its 51st year, the Visiting Scholar Program has sent 529 scholars on some 4,500 two-day visits. Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society, with chapters at 270 colleges and universities and over 600,000 members. The Wells College chapter was formed in 1932.

Impey’s residency is sponsored by the Wells Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and the Office of the Dean of the College. For more information, please contact Professor Deborah Gagnon, president of the Wells chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, at 315/364-3307 and visit the College’s Web site at www.wells.edu.

Kevin White lectures on Haudenosaunee history, beliefs

Wells College’s second Juliana James Native American Visiting Scholar will present a lecture on “The Iroquois Creation Story: Making the Published Narratives Come Alive.” On Monday, October 30, visiting instructor Kevin White will discuss the Iroquois creation story at 8:00 p.m. in the Art Exhibit Room, Macmillan Hall. The talk is free and open to the public; a reception will follow.

By examining the published creation stories of the Iroquois, White illustrates the complexity of traditional narratives and suggests that each version is a free-standing account reflective of four key elements: the era in which it was told, the storyteller’s perceptions, the Iroquois nation from which it came, and the gatherer who obtained the written version of the original oral story. 

Between 25 and 40 published versions of the Iroquois creation story exist, with approximately nine to 15 common plot points. Some scholars have reduced those plots to streamline the study of the creation story as a cultural curiosity or artifact of a vanishing race, thus missing the intellect and wisdom of the narrative.  It is through study of these varying accounts that more is revealed about the Haudenosaunee worldview. 

Kevin White is a Mohawk of the Akwesasne nation, located in northern New York and southern Ontario. He received his B.S. in Philosophy from SUNY Brockport and an M.A. from the University of Buffalo. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in American Studies at Buffalo. He has taught a variety of Native American studies courses at the State University of New York at Oswego, Brockport, and Buffalo. 

White will also give a lecture on the Iroquois White Corn Project at Wells on November 13. Go to the College’s calendar of events for more information.

The Juliana James Native American Visiting Scholar fund was established last year to bring a scholar from the Six Nations (or Haudenosaunee) to the Wells campus. The fund supports broader campus diversity initiatives such as Native American Day and the new First Nations and Indigenous Studies minor, offered for the first time this fall.
