Internationally Renowned Educator to Speak at CSE July 12

Dr. David Hargreaves, renowned educator and author on school reform, will speak at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., on Monday, July 12, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Annunciation Center on campus. He will address the topic, “Is School Transformation Necessary and Imminent?” The event, sponsored by the Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership at CSE, is free and open to the public.

Dr. Hargreaves, known for his work on transforming schools for the 21st century, believes schools cannot be simply modified to meet the needs of today’s students, but must be transformed. The current structures, he writes, are rooted in the industrial age and are no longer appropriate for students who live and work in the information/digital age. D

Dr. Hargreaves is the associate director for development and research, Specialist Schools and Academies Trust and fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge University, England. He has been a teacher serving for many years in teacher education, including as a reader in education at the University of Oxford and professor of education at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of many books, including Social Relations in a Secondary School; Interpersonal Relations and Education; and, Deviance in Classrooms.

Previous speakers for the doctoral program summer lectures have included Dr. Margaret Wheatley and Dr. Kent Keith, both supporters of servant leadership and well-known authors on the topic. The three-year doctoral program in educational leadership began at CSE in August 2007. A new cohort or learning group for the program begins this July.

Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, Convent Station, New Jersey, the College of Saint Elizabeth enrolls more than 2,100 full- and part-time students in more than 25 undergraduate, 10 graduate and one doctoral degree programs.

College of Saint Elizabeth Opens Portrait Art Exhibition

Portraits by more than 30 artists will fill the Therese A. Maloney Art Gallery in Annunciation Center at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., in a new exhibition that opens June 10 with a reception that is open and free to the public. The exhibition closes August 15, 2010.

Through paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs and collage pieces, Who We Are: Contemporary Portraits documents a myriad of ways that artists investigate and record themselves and the people around them.
Dover sculptor Jim Kearns’s portrait by CSE adjunct art instructor Ellen Denuto pays double homage to him as well as to his figurative sculptures, one of which is in the show. A 10-foot by 8-foot collage portrait of Van Gogh made out of current art world detritus including NYC Gallery Guide pages, bar codes, security envelopes, packing tape and pencil drawing, is the contribution by Athens, N.Y. artist Sam Sebren. Digital painter, Wayne Roth, a Mountain Lakes, N.J. resident, combines a photograph and his own digital creations to produce a memorable portrait of Eric Pryor, the director of the State Museum in Trenton.

Pulled from newspapers, silly putty portraits are placed in petri dishes that make up an accumulation piece called Cultures by Fairfax, Va., artist, Travis Childers. Short Hills, N.J., photographer, Leslie Milton, depicts herself as a tiara and tutu-wearing Tinker Bell, ready to scrub the bathroom. Hair patterns fascinate Wayne, N.J., artist, So Yoon Lym, while Neal Korn from Union, N.J., is fascinated by odd vistas of his subjects’ chins and upside down eyes.

These portraits and more may be seen during the Gallery’s summer hours, Tuesday through Sunday, 4:30 to 8:00 p.m. or by appointment (artgallery@cse.edu or 973-290-4314).

Starting June 23, 2010, visitors may picnic on the grounds and enjoy Carlo Goldoni’s play, The Servant of Two Masters, presented in the College’s outdoor Greek Theater by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. For tickets and information, call 973-408-5600 or visit http://www.shakespearenj.org/.
