Environmental Internship & The Fordham Eco-Roof Proposal
No full textFordham received its 2008 College Sustainability Report Card, scrapping by with a C‐ while Columbia received an A‐, and NYU a B‐. Adding to this low score is a C grade on student involvement, which is the essentially why I am writing this proposal. There is an increasing awareness, in college students, of human caused effects on the environment, and its potential degradation due to human action. Many Fordham students would consider themselves environmental citizens, and most are willing to be active. There is a need for an educational application of solutions to the everyday problems that involve human action and the environment. Fordham’s environmental studies, engineering, architecture, and ecology students would all benefit from an environmental study project. In this essay I will discuss a proposal for an environment‐based project that could potential involve over 5 different departments and many students. It could serve at an educational tool allowing Fordham to look towards the future in the way of environmental studies and scientific applications to environmental problems. In addition, I will include a basic feasibility study, including an estimated cost report for this project, which I am calling the Fordham Eco‐Roof project. Also, there has been a discussion among Fordham environmentally literate students, who would like to see some form of an organic garden on campus. I will discuss how this could be integrated into the Fordham Eco‐Roof project as well as other potential sites on campus that could be potential organic gardens. This project will strengthen Fordham’s sustainability report card by adding student involvement to the list of already developing environmental practices

Leadership at a Catholic university in the 1960s: A portrait of Fordham\u27s experimentalist president
No full textThis qualitative research explored the leadership of Leo Plowden McLaughlin of the Society of Jesus, president of Fordham University: 1965–1969. The inquiry identified the societal realities in the American experience of the late 1960s coupled with the dramatic changes in the post-Vatican II Catholic Church. Three constructs of investigation were used to develop a snapshot of Father McLaughlin’s presidency. First, a thorough examination was conducted of Father McLaughlin’s presidential archives. The archives revealed a charismatic leader dedicated to the progress of higher education in the American experience and led to three findings arrayed as (a) experimental leadership, (b) forced acceleration, and (c) dramatic decline. Second, interviews were conducted to support the portraiture methodology. Interviewees included former lay colleagues, a Jesuit priest, and a former student who provided an understanding of Father McLaughlin’s personality. Oral histories of Fordham were used to obtain a perspective of deceased members of the Fordham community. Third, my personal perspective framed the findings and proposed areas of application. As an employee of the University, concerned with the Catholic nature of the institution, a mission-orientated lens was applied in analyzing the data. Father McLaughlin was ultimately ousted as president as a consequence of the university’s financial reality. His experiments expired under subsequent administrations, and the residual impacts are evident 50 years later. Many of the same issues still exist today making the study of Father McLaughlin’s legacy a helpful tool in addressing contemporary struggles
