FALL 2004 WINTER 2005
Twenty years ago, I had just begun to
settle in for my first year here at Saint
Louis University when I challenged
our board of trustees and administration team
to create new ways for us to fulfill our mission
of forming women and men for others. We
knew that the Saint Louis University educa-tional
experience was a unique opportunity,
and we were striving to find a new way to
attract students who not only were high-caliber
academic scholars but also had the potential to
become the type of leaders needed to improve
our communities.
Due to the generosity of alumni and SLU
supporters, we were able to establish the Presi-dential
Scholars program, which back in 1988,
awarded the first 10 recipients with full schol-arships
to Saint Louis University. In this issue
of Universitas you will see how that investment
continues to pay dividends for these 10 men
and women and for the communities in which
they live.
I am blessed to have been at SLU long
enough not only to witness the growth of this
first class of Presidential Scholars during their
years at SLU, but also now to see how they
have grown and fulfilled the promise we saw in
them two decades ago. Starting on page 19, you
can read about this “first-class” group — an
emergency room physician, owner of a social
service agency, corporate lawyer, business
analyst, piano teacher, researcher, pediatrician,
manager for a home health care company and
two alumnae serving their families as full-time
mothers.
Although they have settled on careers and
homes that literally are all over the map, the
members of the initial class of Presidential
Scholars — much like the more than 300
Presidential Scholars who have followed them
— show a commitment to service to others as
well as an appreciation for the opportunities
they received here at SLU. Their continued
success is one of the best endorsements for the
next generation of students who apply to Saint
Louis University.
And that’s one of the most important ways
our original scholars are returning the invest-ment
many SLU alumni and supporters made
in them 20 years ago. We have great faculty,
staff, researchers and alumni at Saint Louis
University, but to keep SLU a great university,
we need to continue to attract great students.
All of you already are doing a wonderful job
promoting Saint Louis University as you
achieve success in your professional, personal
and service lives. But I ask you to join your
alma mater’s efforts to attract even more of
tomorrow’s leaders to SLU.
During the last academic year, SLU’s total
enrollment increased 3 percent, and our goal is
to continue to provide more opportunities for
students who are eager to study at SLU. Even
outside of St. Louis, many of you will see in
movie theaters and hear on the radio a new
SLU recruitment campaign, that encourages
students to “Be a Billiken.” Using our Univer-sity’s
unique mascot, the campaign highlights
SLU’s equally unique attributes, which sepa-rate
SLU from other top national schools.
But your help, whether setting up one-on-one
meetings with prospective students in
your city or joining SLU recruiters at a college
fair in your area, can make the difference in
whether a student seriously considers SLU. If
you’re interested in lending some of your valu-able
time to the SLU recruitment cause, please
contact our alumni relations office at alumni@
slu.edu for more information.
I hope you enjoy reading about our 20th
anniversary class of Presidential Scholars as
much as I have enjoyed catching up with these
10 alumni.

{ on campus }
To celebrate the Billiken’s 100th year, the University
threw two birthday celebrations to coincide with
Homecoming and Family Weekend, which drew
thousands of graduates and parents to campus Sept. 26-28.
In all, more than 2,500 alumni and friends and 1,200 par-ents
and family members made their way to SLU’s campus.
The schedule of events included class reunions, jazz socials,
campus tours and a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game.
The birthday celebration kicked off in the Family Fun
Area on Saturday, where alumni, parents and students
turned out to make birthday hats, enjoy birthday-themed
activities and eat cupcakes. The Billiken had only one wish
for his birthday party: that all of his friends bring new
children’s books, later donated to a special program at SSM
Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. Almost 200
books were collected.
The birthday celebration continued that night, as the
men’s soccer team won its game against in-state rival Mis-souri
State University by a 3-0 margin, with almost 5,800
in attendance. It was the second largest crowd in Hermann
Stadium history.
During halftime, the stadium lights dropped, and a three-tier
cake was brought onto the field. The capacity crowd
sang “Happy Birthday” to the Billiken. As soon as the song
ended, a fireworks display erupted over the stadium.
Homecoming Weekend also featured tours of the new
Chaifetz Arena, the annual golf cart parade, a barbecue,
Mass, brunch and a concert.
“With wonderful events and spectacular weather, we
really celebrated the Billiken’s birthday in style, and we are
already looking forward to next year,” said Meg Connolly
(A&S ’90, Grad ’92), associate vice president for alumni
relations and annual giving.
The 2009 Homecoming Weekend is scheduled for Sept. 25-
27. Call the office of alumni relations at (314) 977-2250 to help
with reunion planning.

Scenes from
this year’s
homecoming
This summer, two national
publications recognized
Saint Louis University as
one of the best schools
in the country for under-graduate
education. U.S.
News & World Report’s
“America’s Best Colleges”
ranks SLU 80th out of
more than 260 national
universities in the United States. The ranking placed
SLU among the top five Jesuit universities in the
country for the sixth consecutive year. U.S. News
also gave high marks to the University’s undergrad-uate
engineering and business programs.
The Princeton Review’s 2009 edition of The Best
368 Colleges places SLU in the top 15 percent of
America’s 2,500 four-year colleges. Listings in book
are based on institutional data, school visits and
feedback from students, independent college coun-selors
and parents. However schools are chosen
primarily for their outstanding academics.

Researchers
study avian flu
Saint Louis University School of
Medicine has begun one of the larg-est
avian flu clinical trials in the United
States to test a new vaccine approach to
prevent the disease.
The study tests whether an injection
of an FDA-approved avian flu vaccine
created in 2004 can prime the body’s
immune system so a second shot of a
different avian flu vaccine can protect
against avian flu infection.
Public health experts are concerned
that the avian flu could become the
next influenza pandemic because bird
viruses have started previous outbreaks.
The study will examine the vigor of the
body’s antibody response and the safety
of the vaccines.
SLU is the lead site of the research,
which is sponsored by the National In-stitute
of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
part of the National Institutes of Health,
and will include up to five study sites.
SLU named a great
place to work
In its “2008 Great Colleges to Work For”
issue, The Chronicle of Higher Education
recognized Saint Louis University as one of
the best universities to work for in the nation.
SLU was one of five institutions of higher
education with 2,500 or more employees
recognized in the following categories:
Teaching
Environment:
Faculty members
say the institution
recognizes innova-tive
and high-quali-ty
teaching.
Tenure Clarity
and Process:
Requirements for
tenure are clear,

say.

New endowed
chair benefits
ophthalmolo g y
Dr. Anwar Shah, a former
SLU faculty member, has
established an endowed chair
in ophthalmology. Shah began
his relationship with SLU as an
intern and resident in ophthal-mology,
after coming to the
United States from Pakistan as a
Fulbright Scholar in 1955.
After completing fellowships
at Washington University in St. Louis and Harvard Medical School,
Shah became director of retina services in SLU’s department of
ophthalmology. He was a member of the SLU faculty for years,
training numerous ophthalmology residents. In 1980, he built the St.
Louis Eye Hospital, a 160,000.

CONVOCATION
CELEBRATION
For the first time, in August Saint
Louis University’s annual convocation
to welcome new students and their
families to the SLU community was
held at Chaifetz Arena. Previously
held in St. Francis Xavier College
Church, convocation moved to the
arena this year to allow more faculty
and staff to participate in the event.

Nursing School marks anniversary
with Heritage Hall installation
When Saint Louis University School of Nursing marked its
80th anniversary by unveiling its Heritage Hall, one sec-tion
was left empty by design.
“Visitors to Heritage Hall will learn of the many greats we have
achieved as an innovator in nursing education. But the best is yet
to come,” said Dr. Teri Murray (Nurs ’79, Grad ’93, ’97), dean of
the School of Nursing.
Located on the second floor of the School of Nursing Building,
Heritage Hall is a three-dimensional timeline of the School of
Nursing’s milestones. It was dedicated Sept. 27.
A seed donation for Heritage Hall was made in honor of Dr.
Joan Carter (Nurs ’58, Grad ’62), associate dean emerita of the
School of Nursing. Alumni and other friends of the School of
Nursing contributed to the historical remembrance.
