Fall/Winter 2012
he cover of this seasons CloCkworks has special significance. On the day that he came to Goddard to receive the Presidential Award for Activism this summer, Bread and Puppet founder Peter Schumann was captured making this gesture. Its a provocative photo that, to my mind, expresses both where we come from and where were headed as a community. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the college, and the way I see it, Goddard is on the move. Bread & Puppet was Goddards first theater-in-residence, and Peter is known internationally for speaking truth through art and performance, and is an unforgettable contributor to the kind of disruptive innovation that Goddard has always nurtured in people. In this way, Goddard is as much an idea as it is a college. Goddard is a model and mode of learning that invites individuals to explore the fullness of their lived experience, to find the questions that drive their passions, to apply that knowledge in real situations, where life, learning and livelihood are intimately connected. Given the current crisis in American education and the challenges we face as a nation, Goddard brings a perspective on education that is needed, now more than ever. We hear it all the time: Our system of education is broken. Years ago, Goddard alumna Evalyn Bates came to understand what is wrong with this model, and it was her understanding that defined a new learning model, one that ultimately changed the landscape of American education.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the College, and the way I see it, Goddard is on the move.
In September, the College presented a posthumous honorary doctorate in humane letters to the family of Evalyn Bates, whose 1957 graduate thesis was the first clear articulation of a low-residency, progressive education program and formed the basis of Goddards Adult Degree Program. Evalyns work endures and remains more educationally relevant today than ever before. As we celebrate our 150th anniversary, it is important to honor and preserve the narratives of our community as we define our direction for the future. In October, I was asked to participate in a panel about college sustainability sponsored by the Chronicle of Higher Education at the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education annual conference in Los Angeles. We are also planning an Alternative Media Conference Redux at Goddard on May 18, 2013. Well let you know more about it as planning develops. This fall, we celebrated the launch of a new undergraduate program at Goddards Port Townsend, Washington residency site. As we revel in program growth and new beginnings for the College, we are also re-affirming our commitment to education that is rooted in community, education that is responsive to the needs of community, and education that ultimately strengthens our communities. Goddard is out there on the move, and like Peter on this cover, were facing our future with intention, vision and pride.

alternative media ConferenCe redux: may 18, 2013
ext spring, Goddard will reconvene its alternative Media Conference, one of the most groundbreaking and influential events ever held on the Plainfield campus. Featuring cutting edge and progressive media moguls of todayincluding Ellen Ratner, a Goddard alumna, former board member, and White House Correspondent and Bureau Chief for the Talk Radio News Service, as well as progressive radio host Thom Hartmann. The conference will explore changes in the media and what might come in the years ahead. Goddards original alternative Media Conference, held over three
days in the summer of 1970, was one of the most influential media events in the United States. It served as a catalyst for a generation of journalists and spawned some of the innovations and developments in media that we see today. Although some of the older modes of communication have become obsolete with the rise of the internet and portable media equipment, the goal of achieving an alternative media that awakens, rather than anesthetizes, is still an active goal for many of those who attended the original conference more than 40 years ago. we hope you can join us!

in the summer issue of Clockworks, we printed a 1970s-era photograph of art students painting nude models in the Painting Building. Alumnus Robert Roggeveen (BA RUP 78) of Seabeck, Wash., wrote in to tell us that the photo shows students attending James Gahagan's life drawing class, and Robert is actually in the picture seated on the right side near the stairs in the back. Not only that, but robert also sent us a digital copy of the painting he made during that class! it was spring 1978, Robert tells us, as dated on my art work.
Memories from the Single Parent Project: 19861994
Goddard Changed My Life.

In 1986, Goddard pioneered the nations first residential degree program for single parents, and in doing so changed a number of lives for good.
BY SAMANTHA KOLBER (MFAW 14)
n august 1986, an unlikely crew of students moved onto the Greatwood Campus at Goddard. Eleven single mothers and 16 children set up their homes in a suite of modest dorm rooms, the first to take advantage of Goddards Single Parent Project (SPP), the nations first college residential degree program for single parents. Then Director of Development Doug North developed the program in response to what he saw as a pressing social concern. The 1980s were a hotbed of welfare warfare. President Reagan, in his 1986 State of the Union address, called for welfare cuts and a plan to end welfare dependency for poor families. In the welfare culture, the breakdown of the family, the most basic support system, has reached crisis proportions, Reagan said in a New York Times article in February 1986. Drastic measures were needed to help support families on welfare, and new approaches were called for as the administration planned to slash Aid to Families with Dependent Children by almost ten percent. In typical radical and pioneering style, Goddard College responded. The surest way off welfare, said North in an article in Picture Week later that year, is through a B.A. or an M.A. Working with the Vermont Department of Social Welfare, North brought the Single Parent Project into focus, and the media took notice. The headline of a New York Times article in August 1986 declared robin mascit ti (ba 9 0)
Vermont School Offers a Welfare Exit. As part of the new Single Parents Program at Goddard, the article stated, mother and son will live on campus while she pursues a college degree. Money from the State Aid to Needy Families and Children program will pay for their tiny dorm suite, and a combination of federal and state grants will pay for tuition and fees. Food stamps will help out with meals, and the college will supply day care. The SPP lasted eight years, from 19861994, and, though brief, had lasting impacts on many peoples lives.

Personal Perspectives
Goddard changed my life, says Robin Mascitti (BA 90), one of the first students in the SPP. A native Vermonter, Robin had endured an abusive marriage for years before moving back in with her parents to raise her two young sons. But her younger sons medical needs made it difficult for Robin to work, so she turned to welfare.

goddard received national attention for starting the first Single Parent Program in the nation. Watch Connie Chungs nBC coverage on our website at www.goddard.edu/SPP
I learned about Goddard from my SPOP [Single Parent Opportunity Program] worker at the welfare office one day, she says. She applied to the program and was accepted, and for three and a half years, she lived on campus with her sons. Growing up on campus was a wonderful experience for them, Robin recalls. Her older son, Josh, writes on his blog (www.lostinthebeeraisle.com) that living on a college campus was an interesting way to grow up. He recalls that the liberal lifestyles of the students these were the years when members of Phish were at Goddardhad a great influence on his childhood. He has fond memories of the Big Brother & Sister mentoring program the college initiated as a workstudy program. Having a Big changed my life, Josh writes, who, as an adult now, is a Big Brother himself. It was very empowering, Robin says of the Single Parent Program. It allowed me room to grow. The beginning of the program was challenging, says Robin, and through her own initiative, she chaired the Single Parent Committee on campus to help solve the problems that arose as the families moved in. Robins senior study was about some of these problems. She saw an inherent dysfunction in the program as Goddard struggled to be both landlord and educator. In fact, it may have led to the eventual downfall of the program. According to Alumni Outreach Coordinator Dustin Byerly, when enrollment picked up [in the 90s], the college could no longer afford to give families so much space; Goddard needed the dorms to house more and more students. Robin graduated from Goddard with her bachelors
nO MORE BOBBAS
k.C. Mosher, below, was one of the kids who grew up at goddard during the Single Parent Project. His mother tells a touching tale of the campus communitys support when k.C. finally had to give up his beloved bobbas.
Growing Up At Goddard: A Story of Community
n august of 1988, Hilary Mosher, M.S. (BA 89) and her then two and a half year-old son, K.C., moved to Plainfield all the way from Los Angeles to attend the Single Parent Project. Here is Hilarys story of how K.C. grew up during his early years at Goddard. The long drive from the West to the East Coast had gone well, and by the time we reached Goddard, K.C. was on the on-ramp to potty training, but still needed a baby bottle at bedtime. I knew he would have to be weaned, but it was so convenientId attend a community meeting, give him his bottle, and hed be out like a light! I could even take him to the movies and rely on his uninterrupted somnolence, as long as he had that bottle.
At Goddard, I was taking four or five classes, was the transportation coordinator in the Single Parent Program, sat on the hiring committee, and had a million reasons to put off weaning. However, I devised a creative way. K.C. loved to hear stories, so I made up the story of The Day K.C. Became a Big Boy and Threw Out All the Bobbas. It revolved around his upcoming third birthday Dec. 19 and told of all the wonderful things that would happen to him on that day, including multiple laps around the dorms in our friends VW Bug (he adored that thing), his favorite pancakes for breakfast, helium filled balloons, and, before a big party got started, a special event of saying bye-bye to all his bobbas. At that point in the story, K.C. would toss all the bottles into the dumpster, which he knew would be crushed by the sanitation worker and the truck, eventually taking the mashed-up bobbas out the Goddard driveway to the dump, never to be seen again. Before long, he loved this story more than any other. I started telling it toward the end of September, and a few weeks later he had memorized it and would tell it right along with me. One morning telling the story, we veered off to the dumpster to toss in our trash bag. The sanitation worker was there. I beg your pardon, he said politely, but I couldnt help overhear you saying something about a sanitation worker. Together, K.C. and I filled him in on the story. Ah! he said, obviously pleased, and when, exactly, will this third birthday be? K.C. proudly told him, adding the very last line of the story: and all da bobbas go in da sanitation twuck because K.C. is a Big Boy and doesnt need any moah bobbas! The worker smiled, nodded, and remarked on
degree on a Friday in June 1990; on the following Monday, she came to work for Goddard as the student accounts coordinator, a position she still holds today. Goddard made me employable, she says fondly. I love what I do. Ironically, her office in the Wolper building on campus used to be the dorm apartment of another single mother from the SPP. Goddard made Robin employable, which allowed her and her family to thrive. Through the tuition exchange program, an employee benefit, her sons were able to go to college. Josh, her oldest, is now about to graduate with his MBA from Clark University. Robin is now happily remarried to a wonderful man introduced to her by a coworker. She adores her three grandchildren and lives just a half mile from campus, close to the Goddard community that enabled her and her sons to get off welfare and into a new life. CW

what a wonderful story it was, and how exciting it sounded. He gave a knowing look at me over K.C.s head, and I smiled back, holding up crossed fingers. After a short time, it seemed like everyone at the college knew the story. Many friends helped to make K.C.s birthday a memorable one. The night before his birthday, I gathered up the six or so baby bottles and put them in a transparent bag. In the morning, he bounded out of bed, jumping with excitement. After syrupy pancakes he hollered Da bobbas, momma! Its time, its time! We bundled up in snowsuits and goosedown coats and I grabbed the bag of bottles. We walked gingerly down the icy steps into the freezing Vermont air. Just as we reached the bottom step, the garbage truck pulled up and parked in front of the dumpster. The truck door opened and, to my surprise, out stepped the sanitation worker, brilliantly dressed in a bright, white, milk-mans uniform, complete with a red bow tie, the name Mike embroidered over the breast pocket, and a hat with a shiny, black patent leather visor! Happy Birthday K.C.! he bellowed, swooping the happily surprised little fellow up into his arms and grabbing the bag with the bottles. Are you ready? he asked, giving K.C. each bottle, one by one; K.C. gleefully hurled them into the truck. The uniformed garbage man then pulled the lever that made the truck crush the trash. As the loud crunching began, he put his hand to the side of his head and stiffly saluted. K.C. imitated him perfectly with his small, mittened hand, and the crowd of students that had gathered around stifled their laughs at this solemn little ceremony, and saluted as well. When the cruncher stopped, a chant went up: K.C., K.C., K.C.! and a grinning K.C. was swept inside the VW van filled with helium balloons coming out the sun roof. The sanitation worker
jumped into the cab, honked his horn, and drove out of the driveway grinning and waving. By the end of that day, stomach full of cake and ice cream, head full of birthday memories, I lay K.C. down in his bed. I started to read him a story, but he said No! Tell da stowy of da bobbas Momma! So we did. I kissed him good night, turned out the light, and closed the door. I hovered at the doorway listening, to see if I would need to run and get an emergency bottle. Inside, K.C. was repeating, K.C. is a big boy and doesnt need any more bobbas sleepily, until, finally, he succumbed to slumber. The two other single moms living in our dorm popped their heads in the doorway quizzically; I flashed them a thumbs-up, and we danced a quiet little victory dance on the landing. In the dining hall the next day, everyone wanted to know if the story had worked, and they made sure to congratulate me, and a beaming K.C., on our success. He never asked for another bobba again, although it took a while to give up the story. My son and I passed through several milestones during our year at Goddard. All of them were enhanced because of the Goddard and Plainfield communitythe isolation Id experienced as a single parent on my own was removed at Goddard, and in its place came a huge extended family that we have never really had since, but which has stayed in my heart the past 23 years.

The Insurgent
Returns
Peter schumann Brings His Puppetry and Magic Back to Goddard
By anDrew neMetHy Reprinted from VTDigger.org
or more than 40 years, Peter Schumann has been Vermonts visionary puppet master, stilt walker and inspired maestro of insurgent political pageantry. On July 22, the founder of Bread & Puppet Theater in Glover showed that his flair hasnt dimmed in all those decades, delivering a graduation speech of sorts that no one at Goddard College will soon forget. I am a baker with a mission. I bake sourdough rye not-for-sale bread! he began, fiddling a violin in the crook of his left arm for discordant musical punctuation, launching into a passionate eightminute performance/manifesto/artists statement.
Extolling puppetry for human ridicule and art and bread as part of community making, Schumann in his chant-like peroration said he remained committed to the intense flame of burning issues. His duty, he said, was to transform the heat into public message art. It was a performance that perfectly exemplified why Schumann received Goddards second annual Presidents Award for Activism from President Barbara Vacarr at the commencement ceremony for Master of Fine Arts graduates. Speaking under a multi-peaked white tent, Vacarr praised the German-born founder of Bread & Puppet Theater for using the powerful medium of art to wake up audiences around the world.
In reference to his audacious stilt-walking on towering 12-foot legs in an American flag outfit, she said Schumann, Courageously and deftly navigates spaces where few of us dare to go, and from that vantage point, he clearly and astutely sees the forest for the trees. Artists and renegades like Schumann, she said, serve often as prophets and are dismissed. But their role is critical in a free society to confront unexamined assumptions and take a deeper look at our national myths. The celebration of Schumanns commitment to social justice, as Goddard launches its 150th year anniversary celebrations, also was a reminder that the college played an important role in Schumanns art. Schumann, whose family became refugees in Europe after Hitlers downfall in 1944, came to the United States in 1961 and founded Bread & Puppet Circus in New York City in 1963. In 1970, amid the Vietnam anti-war political ferment, he was invited by Goddard then-President Gerald Witherspoon to set up a theater-in-residence at the college. For Schumann, it was an offer he gladly accepted. Nine years in New York City was too much, he said in an interview. The college went out of its way to make him feel at home and facilitate his art, letting him live at the colleges Cate Farm, renovating a barn so Bread & Puppet could perform and sculpt its giant masks and puppets year-round, and letting students and faculty work and travel with the circus. It was a fantastic opportunity for us, said Schumann, whose introduction to Vermont was in 1962, when he came to the Putney School to do theater while his wife, Elka, taught Russian. Goddards role in bringing in bright people to a hotbed of radical ferment meant Schumann met a community of like-minded souls, some of whom came to the July 22nd event, like author Marc Estrin and renowned rye-bread baker Jules Rabin, both of whom were professors teaching at Goddard in the 1970s. Schumann said he was very very glad at this Goddard College invitation and connection, noting the colleges role in cementing his ties to Vermont as a place to carry out his vision. The one thing he says Goddard cant claim is inspiring his pairing of bread, one of the most basic and delicious foodstuffs, with puppetry. As many Vermonters know, Rabin and his wife Helen virtually single-handedly launched Vermonts artisan bread revolution by building a wood-fired stone oven in the 1980s to make hearty French sourdoughs. Schumann said that his connection to dense rye bread goes back long before that, and anyway, his was German style, not French. I learned that from my mom as a kid, I helped her bake bread when I was 6 years old, he said with a laugh. Schumanns award drew veterans from his days at Goddard. Avram Patt (BA RUP 75), now general manager of Washington Electric Cooperative in East Montpelier, was one of those lucky to be part of Schumanns groundbreaking circus performances.
He had just finished his first semester at Goddard and did not want to go back to New York City. CiVil DiSoBEDiEnCE Patt says he saw a sign that Rabin had hung Peter Schumann and up inviting 10 students to join Bread & Puppet, his friends from Bread offering room and board for the summer. & Puppet Theater Honestly, the first thing I saw was room and light up the Plainfield board, he said, but added, I thought that would campus during the be an interesting way to spend a couple months. July commencement He ended up working with Bread & Puppet for ceremonies. two years, including a tour in Europe. Schumanns Schumann also genius was in taking puppets and developing received the second their use in trenchant political theater, and also in annual Presidential being a demanding director who was also open Award for Activism to collaborative work with his troupe, he said. from President The show is made up in rehearsal, he explained. Barbara Vacarr. Talented musician Steven Light (BA RUP 75) of Marshfield, one of the founders of Fyre & Lightning Consort, was at Goddard in 1973 and began playing percussion for Schumann. He worked with Bread & Puppet for seven years. It was just incredibly inspiring to be part of it, he said, saying Schumann always had a clear vision of what he wanted and a unique approach. You can sort of tell from his speech yesterday [sic], hes his own character, said Light. Schumann left Goddard in 1974 and moved to the current site of Bread & Puppet Theater in Glover, Vermont, where his remarkable two-day Domestic Resurrection Circus drew thousands for a magical long day and evening pageant of political theater each summer until 1998. The event was canceled after it grew over-sized, flooding tiny Glover with some 30,000 people. The end came after a man tragically was struck and died at the pageant. Today in his 70s, Schumann still plies his art and attracts troupe members for summer performances and tours to Europe and around the United States. Summer shows are Friday nights and Sunday afternoons in Glover. Puppetry, always a politicized art form that was subversive and made fun of officials, still appeals to him after 50 years of pointed commentary. As he said in his award acceptance speech, its a way to allow issues to be poured into the public eating bowl. CW

hen tammy hanks (Psy 02) first set foot in South Africa seven years ago, she felt she had somehow come home. Hanks, who together with her partner had previously adopted three African American children, had heard about the plight of so many children in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa, and she was haunted by it. There, children are subjected to poverty, a staggeringly high degree of domestic violence and rape, as well as HIV/AIDS. Due to such high HIV/ AIDS rates, and the South African governments failure to adequately address the disease when it first hit the country, it is estimated that one in three Zulu children will be orphaned by the year 2015. As reported in 2009, South Africa had the highest number of people living with HIV and AIDS in the world; KwaZulu-Natal Province sees the highest percentage 15.8% in South Africa. Complicating matters, South Africa also has one the highest incidents of reported rape in the world. In June of 2009, Time magazine reported on South Africas rape crisis: one in four men admitted to having committed the crime of rape, and almost half of them admitted to committing it more than once. Hanks was unable to put the situation on the back burner. She and her partner, Nancy Roope, founded the Zulu Orphan Alliance (ZOA), which is a non-profit dedicated to helping children in an established childrens home called Bhekanisizwe. In Zulu, Bhekanisizwe translates to Looking after the Nation, taking into account ubuntu, the spirit of community that predominates so many African nations. Hanks did her Goddard thesis and doctoral dissertation at Saybrook University on various aspects of ubuntu and its usefulness as a communitys guiding philosophy and healing tradition. ZOAs mission is to collaborate with Bhekanisizwe

SPIRIT OF CoMMuniTy
Hanks and her partner founded the Zulu Orphan Alliance to protect children in KwaZulunatal, a fragile population at constant risk from poverty, HiV/aiDs, and sexual violence.
to provide shelter, nutrition, safety, basic medical care, educational opportunities, and access to psychological counseling and expressive therapies essential to Zulu childrens survival and healing. Currently, 20 children between the ages of two and 18 live at Bhekanisizwe, a two-bedroom home with no indoor plumbing and inconsistent electrical service. ZOA is not only committed to ensuring that the home has a steady supply of food, but that all children who live there can obtain an education. I recently traveled with Hanks to the Zulu region of South Africa and trained over 30 local therapists and caregivers in art and play therapy. Art and play therapy are powerful tools for working with traumatized children and others. Through the use of color, form and texture, people can create images that reflect their emotional landscape without having to talk. Words can be painful, and this is a way to bypass all that while still addressing the trauma. It is an especially useful tool when there are language barriers, such as those between Zulu and English. Art and the creative process are universal. These things transcend language, words, and pain. Images, color, form and texture have inherent healing powers that help purge trauma so that some deep healing can take place. Art making is a natural activity, as is play. Children are adept at acting things out in the process of working them out. Guiding them through the process is crucial. I have worked extensively with traumatized children in my private art therapy practice in rural upstate New York. The issues I deal with most frequently, such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, bereavement, poverty and chronic illness, lent themselves so well to working with the Zulu population. Hanks and I are hoping that this training was the first of many that the Zulu Orphan Alliance can provide. The vision for the future of Bhekanisizwe includes a three-part plan on a three-acre parcel of land, owned jointly by ZOA and Bhekanisizwe, that is adjacent to current Bhekanisizwe facilities. The first phase of the plan is to build dormitory-style housing using earthbags.

Alumnus Spotlight
with Mike Hardee (IBA 12)

BY DUSTIN BYERLY (BA RUP 01 AND ALUMNI OUTREACH COORDINATOR)
I recently had an opportunity to talk with graduate Mike Hardee about his Goddard experience. Mike, after 38 years in law enforcement, came to Goddard to study film, but his focus shifted during his first residency. He then became a Friend of Goddard by making a gift to the College. Read on to find out more about his amazing transformation through his Goddard education.
db: Can you tell me a bit about your background? mh: I am a fifth-generation Floridian and the youngest of five sons. I grew up in Green Cove Springs, Fla., attended public schools and graduated from Clay High School in 1973. That same year, I got married, and, with a baby on the way, moved to Gainesville, Fla., to find work. Within a few months I became one of the youngest police officers ever hired in the state of Florida; I was 19. A few years later, I became a State Wildlife Officer, which was a goal of mine. In 1989, after promotions and transfers, I became the Environmental Crimes
Supervisor for the entire Northeast Florida Region. For 19 years I patrolled the woods and waterways of North and Central Florida until 1994, when I was offered a job with the 4th Judicial Circuit State Attorneys Office in Jacksonville as an environmental crimes investigator. At the age of 49, after almost 10 years with the State Attorneys Office, I retired with 30 years of law enforcement service. For the next year, I owned a private investigative agency and a television production company and worked with my wife, Robbie, in network television. In 2004, I was asked to return to law enforcement with the Clay

County Sheriffs Office as Captain, Chief of Detectives. I served in this position for four years and was transferred to Chief of the Patrol Division where I served for the next two years. In 2008, I attended the FBI National Academy at Quantico, Va., and in 2010, I was promoted to Major, Administration Bureau Commander, where I now serve. db: how did you find Goddard College? mh: It was through my wife, Robbie, that I discovered Goddard in 2003. She had graduated from the University of Massachusetts and knew several people who had attended Goddard in the 70s. db: describe your first experience at Goddard. mh: My first semester at Goddard was nothing less than shock and awe. Never had I seen such a place where people from all walks of life coexisted. It reminded me of the communes I had read about where hippies go reconnect with the natural world under a mystical belief that they have no responsibilities or obligations. You have to remember this was unlike any school, college or training facility I had ever experienced in all my years of post high school training as a cop. Convinced I had arrived at a cult recruiting camp for the disenfranchised, I only spent one night in a dorm room. Afterwards, I found a safe and secure motel with a high altitude vantage point a few miles away where I could see approaching threats in all directions. There was a mystery about this new place I found in the mountains, and I became more curious with each passing day of that first residency. Who are these advisors, where do they come from, what is their background and how will this system of learning work for me? Each group session, or workshop student presentation I attended, pushed me to know more about the learning process and the people. Over time, I became influenced by the intimate passion of the other students who were pursuing their dreams of higher education in a non-traditional way. Unlike any place I had ever been, and as awkward as it was for a southern cop to co-mingle with so many cultural diversities, I was drawn to explore and experience the challenge of different thinking. I was hooked and I knew it from that very first semester. There is a mystery about Goddard, almost magical and seductive, a place you can free your mind to explore and imagine things without boundaries. The residency experiences were a vacation for me, a world away from my daily grind of public service. db: what did you study at Goddard? mh: Originally, I wanted to study filmmaking as a retirement option, and so it was decided that I would work with a wonderful advisor, Ellie Epp. She gave me some magic potion that allowed me to survive the outof-body experience I was having the first few days of my first residency. To my own surprise, I returned the next semester, and the next, and then the next, until I finally graduated with my bachelors degree in March of 2012 at the age of 57. Carefully crafted in a series of one-on-one discussions, my advisors encouraged me to redirect my energy to study and become a writer. Intrigued by the idea, I followed their recommendation to rediscover my past and began the process of writing a memoir. My senior study, titled, You Heard What I Said Boy, is about my exploits as a young Florida Wildlife Officer. To tell these stories after so many years have passed, and in a way that is considered a piece of scholarly work, is most definitely one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. db: and what became of your film studies and equipment? mh: Well, as a previous owner of a television production company for several years, I had accumulated a significant amount of high-quality television production equipment. Now that I am retired from the business, and my studies focused on writing rather than filming, I decided to donate it all to Goddard College. All this equipment has remained in our production office not being used for some time, and it made good sense for me to donate it in the hope that it would become a catalyst or foundation for future filmmakers who study at Goddard. With the partnership Goddard has with the Port Townsend Film Institute in Washington state, this turned out to be a perfect fit. db: looking back, what does your Goddard education mean to you? mh: I am forever grateful for the opportunity to attend Goddard College. To be the first in my immediate family to graduate from college was a wonderful blessing and a humbling adventure. Never have I felt such a powerful connection to an institution or a people than I do with Goddard College. What this experience has done for me is difficult to put into words. At 57 years old, I have covered a lot of ground. Thirty-eight years in law enforcement, a business owner, private investigator, FBI National Academy graduate, a father of four and a grandfather of five I do consider myself lucky and blessed in many ways. Goddard is so much a part of my life now and I want to stay involved with the college in any way possible. One way I think I can contribute is to reach out to others who struggle with making the leap into the unknown of a college experience. I suppose you could say I am a selfproclaimed ambassador, spreading the word around the country that Goddard is a safe haven, where students and faculty interact unconditionally. CW

Goddard Celebrates Expansion in Port Townsend

By MarC GorDon
n september 25, more than 120 people attended the official launch ceremony of our Port townsend undergraduate program, including state representatives, local partners, dignitaries, and alumni. the event generated a lot of community excitement and press attention, as residents and partners celebrated having a fouryear college in their midst. what were doing today, said President Vacarr in her opening remarks, is creating education in partnership with local communities, transforming and adapting to the needs of students while remaining committed to making higher education relevant and accessible; its part of the Goddard story of innovation in education for 150 years. The Honorable Lynn Kessler, former washington state representative, attended and was clearly moved by this community that has been living the Goddard mission, she said. It makes so much sense that we are collaborating with Goddard.
JOInIng THE CELEBRATIOn
From left to right, MFAIA Faculty Member Seitu Jones; Port Townsend School of Woodworking Director Tim lawson, and community member John Fleming. kessler also spoke about dedicating years helping to transform Fort worden State Park, a former military base, into a designated Lifelong Learning Center, where Goddard has hosted the low-residency MFa in creative writing program since 2005, and the MFA in interdisciplinary arts program since 07. Goddard now offers the Bachelor of arts degree with three program options Individualized Studies, Health Arts & Sciences, and sustainabilityat the Fort worden lifelong learning Center residency site. Many Fort worden partners, such as the Marine Science Center, Port townsend school of Woodworking, Madrona MindBody Institute, and Peninsula College, to name a few, helped make the undergraduate program launch a success, and articulation agreements are in development to bolster this programs long-term sustainability. we are building an institution here that will survive, that will persist, that will enrich this community, said Port townsend school of woodworking Director Tim Lawson. It will enrich the people of this state and of this country and the world as well. in addition to remarks by partners and local leaders, the launch event featured music by John Macelwee of Centrum arts; a poetry reading by Joseph Bednarik of Fort wordens Copper Canyon Press; a special performance by the four-man acrobaticalist performing arts troupe NANDA, who, with their mustachioed juggling act, had folks in high spirits; and an on-site story booth for students, alumni and friends to have their Goddard stories videotaped. the inaugural residency of the new program ran September 21-29, with many students joining in the launch festivities. New students attended from as far away as London and the United Kingdom, and as close as California, Oregon, Utah, and Seattle and Port Townsend, Washington. There were even two new students from a crew of the sea shepherd Conservation Society. New students, staff and faculty are usually struck by many things while in residency in Port townsend: deer roaming the state park grounds; amazing late summer weather and beaches; views of the Port townsend Bay with two, distant snow-covered volcanoes and mountain ranges, and ferries and ships passing in the straits of Juan de Fuca. In fact, if not for the engaging conversations and engaging educational opportunities offered by Goddard faculty and the Fort Worden partners, it might seem like a dream studying here. CW Marc Gordon is the new integrated enrollment specialist at Goddards Port Townsend residency site.
