Faculty – Past and Present – Honored at Annual Reception
Sacred Heart University's faculty was celebrated May 7 at the University's annual Faculty Reception. During the festivities, University Provost Laura Niesen de Abruna announced the winners of the University's prestigious Faculty Awards. This year, in addition to the Excellence in Teaching and Excellence in Scholarship awards, two additional awards were given—the Service Learning Award and the Global Awareness Award. These awards honor the professors who best reflect the high-impact practices the faculty has been focused on this year.
Sociology Professor Jerry Reid of Wallingford received the Service Learning Award for his early adoption of integration of service-learning into a large number of his classes. "He has embodied the part of our mission that talks about service by asking his students to work on projects that benefit low-income residents of Bridgeport as part of their classwork," Niesen said.
Professor Robert McCloud of Milford, who teaches computer science and information technology, received the Global Awareness Award for his work on SHU's behalf for the American Council on Education (ACE) Internationalization Laboratory program. The Internationalization Laboratory is an invitational learning community of the ACE that helps participating colleges and universities to achieve comprehensive internationalization. McCloud has also been instrumental in developing SHU's relationship with the Fulbright Committee.
History Professor Gregory Viggiano of New Haven was the winner of the Excellence in Scholarship award and Donna Bowers of the Physical Therapy Department took home the Excellence in Teaching award.
"There were many outstanding nominations for all four awards. The committee had a tough time selecting the winners," Niesen noted.
Accounting Professor Alan DelFavero of Monroe received the Faculty Excellence award, which is given to the professor chosen by the students enrolled in the programs offered by University College.
In celebration of Sacred Heart's 50th anniversary, four retired faculty members were awarded the prestigious Bishop Walter Curtis 50th Anniversary Medal. The medal is given to those who embody the central elements of the University's core values in their lives. The winners were:
- English Professor Ralph Corrigan of Trumbull, who was founding editor of the Connecticut English Journal and served for five years as chairperson of the English department. He was adviser to the Spectrum for 14 years and took special pride in the staff's accomplishments and national awards. He also participated in SHU's first delegation to El Salvador in 1992 and returned to Bridgeport with a recharged commitment to community service, helping to start Operation Bridgeport, a working retreat that introduced faculty and staff to the problems of the inner city.
- Rawling A. "Pete" Fairbaugh of Trumbull, who started at SHU as an adjunct professor of business in 1973 while working at Pitney Bowes Corporation. After retiring from corporate life, he became a full-time associate professor of business in 1987. In 1988, he was appointed MBA director and, in 1991, he conceived and founded the Luxembourg MBA program. From 1991 to 1994, he and his wife lived in Luxembourg to assure the successful implementation of SHU's first international venture. He also founded the Center for Strategic Planning for Not-For-Profit Organizations, which was implemented through the capstone MBA class by assigning projects to graduating students who would assist needy not-for-profits with their strategic planning processes.
- John Kikoski of West Hartford, who colleagues say epitomized the phrase "student-oriented professor." He was always focused on student growth and development. As the sole full-time faculty member in the History & Political Science Department in 1980, he increased the number of majors from six to 26 in just two years. By 1986, when he became chair of a separate Political Science Department, that number had increased to 44. He established the internship programs that placed SHU students in Delegations of Sovereign State, with members of the United Nations; the Connecticut State Legislature and departments of the State Government; city and town managers across the state as well as international non-profit/helping organizations. Healso served the students as pre-law adviser and adviser to the Young Democrats, College Republicans, Student Government and Pi Omnichron Lamda Honor Society. He first initiated the three-day trip to the Washington, D.C., for the presidential inaugurations, which continues to this day.
- Constance Young of Milford, who joined Sacred Heart at the startup of the baccalaureate nursing program. Her knowledge, philosophy and previous experience influenced the design and ongoing improvement of the program, which has grown from an initial cohort of 30 to more than 300. She was co-chair of the Statewide Articulation Plan for Nursing Education in the 90s and helped to facilitate the transfer of nursing credits to baccalaureate nursing programs from associate degree and hospital-based nursing programs. She was the recipient of the Connecticut Nurses Association's prestigious Josephine Dolan Award for Outstanding Contribution to Nursing Education in 1998. Upon her retirement, she started the iFun—an incidental fund for undergraduate nursing students to help them pay for needed books and supplies. That fund has since grown to be an endowed fund.
Niesen announced that six faculty members have been awarded tenure by the Board of Trustees. They are:
- Susan DeNisco of Oxford, associate professor of nursing who has been serving as interim director of the School of Nursing. DeNisco's professional interests include primary care with focus on internal medicine, health promotion and disease prevention, and medically underserved populations. DeNisco is on the Board of Directors for the Mercy Learning Center and was published in 2012 for her research on advanced practice nursing.
- Matthew Moran of Branford, assistant professor of exercise science and director of the undergraduate exercise science program. His research interests include autistic movement patterns, running mechanics on performance and injury and computational prediction of running performance through improved optimization algorithms. In 2013, he was published in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience multiple times for his various projects on autism spectrum disorders and trained distance running.
- Richard Pate of Trumbull, assistant professor of business law. His professional interests include human resource law. He is licensed to practice law in Connecticut, the United States District Court of Connecticut, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
- Julie Stewart of Greenwich, assistant professor of nursing. Her professional interests include nurse practitioners, HIV, hepatitis and sexual abuse/assault. Her research interests and grants range from interpersonal violence and sexual abuse to HIV and epidemiology.
- Geoffrey Stopper of Hamden, assistant professor of biology. His professional interest is evolutionary biology.
- Deirdre Yeater of Stratford, assistant professor of psychology. Her research interests and grants include marine mammal behavior and cognition and the study of self-awareness and theory of mind in animals.
Moran, Pate, Stewart, Stopper and Yeater also received promotions from assistant professor to associate professor, while De Nisco was promoted from associate professor to full professor. Other promotions were Lenore Frost, professor of occupational therapy, from clinical assistant professor to clinical associate professor; Linda Strong of Stratford, professor of nursing, from assistant professor to associate professor; and James Castonguay, director of the MACOMM program, from associate professor to full professor.

Cash-strapped, passed over for other transportation projects, and with a completion date decades away, West Station, the MBTA's new commuter rail station in Allston, faces many challenges. Politicians have now asked Harvard to pay the entire cost of the station—covering a bill of roughly $100 million.
In 2014, Harvard pledged to pay one-third of the cost to build West Station. Recently, several Massachusetts politicians signed a letter requesting the University foot the entire bill. One state representative, Michael J. Moran, went so far as to make an example of the company New Balance, which financed the entire $20 million cost of the Boston Landing commuter rail station in Brighton.
The comparison is grossly inappropriate and wholly unfair. New Balance is a private corporation focused on maximizing its revenue. Harvard is a nonprofit university whose goal is to educate its students and society. New Balance had a compelling business interest in building Boston Landing, which was a part of the company's dramatic transformation of Brighton. And it paid only a fifth of what Harvard is now being asked to pay.
Yes, as we have opined, the University has previously had difficult town-gown relations. It could do more to help sustain and support the community whose home it shares, particularly by actively publicizing and sharing the results of its continuing construction projects with Allstonians. Harvard would do well to contribute to the West Station project; the benefits of a new transit stop cannot be understated, especially for Allstonians, who have historically lacked access to the same transit systems that commuter rail stations provide to other parts of the Boston area. Indeed, other schools have helped their communities in similar ways. Princeton, for example, developed an entirely new train station complex in an initiative to help improve public infrastructure and promote the arts. Following this example, Harvard should contribute to the development of West Station in some capacity.
However, the request for Harvard to defray the entire $100 million cost of constructing West Station is inappropriate, especially given the state of the University's finances over the past couple of years. Yes, Harvard may have an endowment of nearly $38 billion. Yet not all of this wealth is readily at hand—and poor returns like those Harvard Management Company, the group in charge of Harvard's endowment, has seen in recent years have prompted concern that University budgets could be "significantly constrained" for years to come. In 2017, Harvard's endowment returns were outpaced by all other Ivy League schools, and HMC is undergoing a dramatic internal restructuring. Now is the time for the University to be as conservative as possible with its finances.
Additionally, the new tax bill passed in December under the Republican-led Congress imposes an excise tax of 1.4 percent on returns for certain large endowments, which Harvard must now pay. This tax further limits the University's financial flexibility.
Given these factors, Harvard is being as generous as it can with its proposed contribution of approximately $33 million to build West Station. What these lawmakers fail to understand is that Harvard does not have infinite resources, and is a nonprofit, educational institution rather than a company. Especially given the current state of its investment portfolio, the University should not be asked to pay more.
Harvard, after all, is not New Balance.

Halloween Night the undertaker will be replaced with a human being...of sorts. It will also serve as candy-central. I'm thinking I may have to "slim" the design down a bit, with the storage factor and all. I really would like to have a ton of shovels and several coffins poking out of the ground.

WRBW was the former UPN owned and operated by Fox Television Stations serving the Orlando/Daytona Beach/Melbourne, Florida television market. It is owned by the Fox Television Stations Group, along with Fox station WOFL Channel 35. It was known on-air as "UPN 65", the station offers sitcoms, cartoons, court shows, and talk/reality shows. Its transmitter is located in Christmas, Florida. WRBW can be seen on Bright House Networks channel 6 where the area's location WKMG-TV is seen on cable channel 5.
The station began operation as a locally owned independent station in June 1994, airing vintage sitcoms, cartoons, and old movies. It was owned by Rainbow Media, a subsidiary of Cablevision. In January 1995 it affiliated with the newly-launched UPN. Since UPN only provided limited network programming, WRBW still programmed as an independent station.
Chris-Craft Industries, part owner of UPN (through its United Television unit) bought WRBW in 1998, making WRBW the first network-owned station in Orlando. Fox acquired most of Chris-Craft's television stations in 2001, including WRBW. Fox did not consider moving its affiliation from WOFL to WRBW, however; not only was WOFL one of Fox's strongest affiliates, but WRBW was located on a very high channel number. A few months after the Chris-Craft deal closed, Fox traded KPTV in Portland to Meredith Corporation in return for WOFL, giving itself a duopoly in the Orlando market. Both stations are also the only ones in the market to be O&Os of any major network, with WRBW being the first under United as a UPN affiliate. Fox subsequently moved WRBW's operations to the WOFL studios in Lake Mary.
In the 1990s, the station aired a 10pm newscast produced by WFTV; the newscast later moved to WRDQ. In this period, especially during the wildfire plagued summer of 1998, there were occasions to which ABC Sports programming was moved to channel 65 in order for WFTV to provide wall to wall coverage. Some ABC Saturday morning programs also aired on WRBW until WRDQ was put on the air in 2000.
There continues to be speculations that a 10pm newscast may return to WRBW. Station officials have not ruled out that possibility, even though it would place WRBW in direct competition against its sister station, WOFL. However, that may not be the case if WOFL moves its newscast to 11 PM (as many Fox O&Os are doing).
In January 2006 UPN and The WB announced that they would merge into a new network, The CW. The new network did not include any of Fox's UPN affiliates. As a result, Fox scrubbed all UPN branding from its UPN affiliates, and stopped promoting UPN programming. Accordingly, WRBW began branding itself as WRBW 65. WRBW's website, however, retained the "UPN 65" logo until more than a week after this change. On March 1, 2006, WB affiliate WKCF was announced as the CW affiliate for Orlando. It was very unlikely, however, that WRBW would have been selected in any event. Officials with The CW were on record as preferring the "strongest" UPN and WB affiliates for their network, and WKCF had been The WB's strongest affiliate for virtually all of The WB's run.
On February 22, 2006, Fox announced that WRBW would be part of a new primetime network called MyNetworkTV to launch September 5, 2006. The new network is operated by Fox Television Stations, Inc. and Twentieth Television. Accordingly, the station has now rebranded to my65, reflecting the naming conventions of the new network. The website has also changed in keeping with the new name.
Occasionally, WRBW may now air Fox network programming whenever WOFL cannot in the event of an emergency. WRBW has normally broadcast just a color bar test pattern and tone on its digital sub-channel (65.2). However, the subchannel has also been used occasionally to provide a standard definition (480i) feed of the signals of co-owned WOFL (Orlando), WOGX (Ocala), or even WRBW's own programming at times. There appears to be no rationale for these sporadic and irregular changes apart from possibly using these video sources for testing purposes.

We consistently work hard to overcome the biggest challenges.

You have the right to be confident in the law firm you choose to handle your product liability case. Our law firm will make a commitment to pursue the maximum compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages.

We are even asked to speak at national meetings of professional organizations of engineers and scientists addressing the issues involved in product liability litigation. This speaks volumes for the trusted experience possessed by our team — and our ability to apply this experience to your case.
Multimillion-Dollar Results in Product Liability Cases
Over the years, we have built an impressive list of noteworthy cases. Some are noteworthy simply because of the compensation that our clients received. Others are noteworthy because of the legal precedents they set. This was the case when one of our attorneys successfully represented the seriously injured occupant of a Corvair automobile. The injuries were caused by a defect in the rear suspension system. Ralph Nader wrote about this case in his famous book, "Unsafe at Any Speed."

Carry on Hand Luggage Details for Monarch:
You have two options for hand baggage and carry on flight bags:
(Regardless of our policy, Luton Airport currently only allows one piece of hand baggage through security, which is out of our control)
(a) One piece of hand baggage no bigger than 56 x 40 x 25cm (there'll be a size gauge at the airport to check this) and no heavier than 10 kilos, plus a small duty free bag from the departure airport.
(b) Two separate pieces of hand baggage, as long as the combined size is no bigger than 56 x 40 x 25cm and the combined weight no heavier than 10 kilos, plus a small duty free bag from the departure airport.
This means there's no need to choose between your bag and your laptop. And you won't have to cram everything into one bag at the departure gate.
Please note: There is limited space onboard, and we are sorry but on busy flights we cannot guarantee that we can fit all baggage in the cabin. Taking two smaller bags and placing one under the seat in front of you will help to avoid your baggage being placed in the hold.
If you think your baggage is going to be overweight or too large
Excess Charges:
If your hand baggage does not comply with the restrictions, you will be charged £50 or €60 at the gate and your baggage will be placed in the hold. (You will be able to remove any essential items like keys, medication, travel documents or valuables first.)
