College of Saint Elizabeth Relays for Life March 26-27, 2010

Jessica Dunleavy, ’10, is a young woman with a mission. For the third consecutive year, Dunleavy is the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE) representative for the Relay for Life – The Colleges of Madison Avenue. She has been participating in the event since she was a freshman at CSE, her motivation stemming from a personal loss. Her support of the American Cancer Society comes from the death of her father while she was in high school. The event has helped Dunleavy communicate her experience, she “learned how to talk about it and be more open, because that is how people will understand.”

Relay for Life, hosted by The American Cancer Society, is a team event that helps raise awareness and funds to fight and to prevent cancer. Dunleavy says, “It is an overnight event that is meant to symbolize the fact that cancer never sleeps, so neither will we (sleep) that night.” The Fourth Annual Relay for Life – The Colleges of Madison Avenue hosted by Drew University, begins Friday March 26 and runs through Saturday, March 27, 2010. CSE, 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., Fairleigh Dickinson University, Florham Park, N.J., and Drew University, Madison, N.J., will participate.

The event begins with an opening ceremony welcoming all participants who have raised funds through sponsorships. Later that evening, the Lumineria Ceremony is held, where illuminated bags are placed around the walking track, bearing names of people that have battled cancer. The participants walk around the track in silence to honor and remember those affected by cancer. Throughout the evening, teams raise funds through the sale of merchandise and donate the proceeds to the American Cancer Society. Last year, more than 450 students from the three schools participated in the event and they raised more than $55,000. Dunleavy single handedly raised $2,500 last year. This year’s goal is to raise $60,000 to aid in the fight against cancer.

A free evening of mini-lectures and a panel discussion around the theme of New Classicism in Literature, Music, Philosophy and Visual Art, will be the second in the new series of cultural programs at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE). The College, located at 2 Convent Road, Morristown, will host the event in the Dolan Performance Hall, in the Annunciation Center on the campus on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, at 7 p.m.

The featured lecturers are faculty members from the College including Virginia Fabbri Butera, Ph.D., associate professor of Art History; Robert W. Butts, DMA, adjunct lecturer of Music and Conductor of the Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey; Johanna Glazewski, Ph.D., professor of classics; and Alexander Murzaku, Ph.D., associate professor of Foreign Languages. The talks, which will explore areas where classical ideas and ideals have shaped subsequent art forms, will include power point presentations and live music including works sung by CSE adjunct voice lecturer, Pamela G. Stein.

“The classical ideas handed down throughout the ages are as relevant today as they were then,” said Dr. Butera. “Their ability to influence art and contemporary thought is still evident and we are excited to explore those influences and how they have been interpreted by modern artists in our New Classicism program. We will continue to present cultural programs that coordinate with our art exhibitions and other events on campus and we look forward to seeing you at similar events throughout the year.”

The evening lectures accompany the New Classicism art exhibition in the College’s Therese A. Maloney Art Gallery, also in Annunciation Center. The exhibition brings together paintings, sculpture, mixed media works, DVDs and photographs and illustrates the impact of these ancient cultures on 11 contemporary artists: Gianluca Bianchino (Little Falls, NJ), Gerald Lynch (The Villas, NJ), Winifred McNeill (Jersey City, NJ), Franc Palaia (Jersey City, NJ, and Poughkeepsie, NY), James Patrick Reid (Madison, NJ), Jesus Rivera (Union City, NJ), José Rodeiro (Madison, NJ), Vincent J. Romaniello, Jr. (Willow Grove, PA), Edward Schmidt (Piermont, NY), Cheryl Wheat (Piermont, NY) and Sue Zwick (Summit, NJ). The exhibition, which opened January 21 and will close March 5, will be open both before and after the lecture event.

“Classical art continues to have a powerful effect on artists who are inspired by ancient Greek and Roman painting, sculpture and architecture, classical proportion, mythology, philosophical thought, archaeological finds and even graffiti which influence the subject matter, appearance and thought behind their contemporary works,” notes Dr. Butera, who is also the curator of the exhibition and the director of the Maloney Art Gallery.

The art exhibition is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 1 to 7 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Monday, 1 to 5 p.m., and closed Sunday.
