Letter from the Dean
Dear Friend of the College,
Welcome to the October 2009 issue of
Inside A&S,
the monthly e-newsletter of the
College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences at Villanova University.
In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we
believe that a student's education occurs both in and out of the classroom.
Intellectual and cultural events outside of the classroom complement and
reinforce the classroom experience, showing our students the importance of
lifelong learning.
The
Theology Institute at Villanova will sponsor
its annual conference --
"Who
is My Enemy? Religious Hope in a Time of
Fear"
-- on October 27-28. You'll read more about the conference in this issue of
Inside A&S.
In addition, the University will host the
38th Annual Mid-Atlantic Region Association
for Asian Studies Conference, "Asia Beyond
Borders," on October 30 to November 1.
For information, please
click here. Many on campus events will
be held as part of this exciting annual conference.
On Friday, Nov. 20, Kenneth R. Miller, Ph.D., a
professor of biology at Brown University, will deliver the
2009 Mendel Medal
Lecture in the Connelly Center Cinema (refreshments will be served at 2
p.m., and the lecture will begin at 2:30 p.m.). This is an event not to be missed,
and I strongly encourage you to attend. On
Saturday, he will be awarded the Mendel Medal. Dr. Miller is a pre-eminent
evolutionary scientist, a Roman Catholic, and the author of the most widely
used high school biology textbook in America. Learn more about him in this
issue of Inside A&S.
Thank you for continuing to read
Inside A&S. We appreciate your ongoing
interest in the life of the College, and, as always, we welcome your
feedback.
Sincerely,
Rev. Kail C. Ellis, O.S.A., Ph.D.
Dean of the College
In College News …
Kenneth Miller, Ph.D., to Receive 2009 Mendel Medal
 On
Friday, Nov. 20, Kenneth R. Miller, Ph.D., a professor of biology at Brown
University, will deliver the
2009 Mendel Medal
Lecture -- Darwinian Grandeur: A Biologist’s Journey Through
Evolution’s "Tangled Bank," -- in the Connelly Center Cinema (refreshments will be served at 2
p.m.; the lecture begins at 2:30 p.m.). This is an event not to be missed.
On Saturday, he will be awarded the Mendel Medal.
Dr. Miller is a pre-eminent evolutionary scientist. He is the author of the
acclaimed book, Finding Darwin’s God: A Scientist’s Search for Common
Ground Between God and Evolution, a lively and cutting-edge analysis of
the key issues that seem to divide science and religion. He contends that,
properly understood, evolution adds depth and meaning not only to a
scientific view of the world, but also to a spiritual one.
The
Mendel Medal
is awarded to outstanding
scientists who have done much by their painstaking work to advance the cause
of science, and, by their lives and their standing before the world as
scientists, have demonstrated that between true science and true religion
there is no intrinsic conflict.
Dr. Miller was the lead witness in the Pennsylvania
"intelligent design" case, which was the first direct challenge brought in
U.S. federal courts against a public school district that required the
presentation of "intelligent design" as an alternative to evolution to
explain the origin of life.

the goal of promoting language and culture through film, the Spanish Club
Film Series started a program of screenings on Fall 2005. Since then, the

College Hosts "Welcome Back" Reception for Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff of the College began the fall semester at the Welcome Back
Reception hosted by Father Ellis in early September. An annual tradition,
the Reception allows community members from all disciplines to reconnect and
learn about the various summer activities in which members participated. The
Villanova Room of the Connelly Center was crowded with attendees and filled
with the hum of vibrant conversation.
After several minutes of camaraderie, Father Ellis stepped up to the podium
and shared some general remarks of welcome, in particular to new faculty
members of the College. In addition, as a surprise, Father extended his
sincere best wishes to former Dean of the Graduate School, Dr. Gerald M.
Long, Psychology Department, and thanked Dr. Long for his 12 years of
service to the College in the graduate programs. As a token of the College’s
deep appreciation, Father Ellis presented Dr. Long with the Villanova Chair.
College Welcomes Prospective
Students and Their Families During Open
House
Prospective students
and their families experienced and learned
about the distinct benefits of a liberal
arts education at Villanova University at
the College's liberal arts open house, which
was held on Sunday, Sept. 13. Approximately
1,000 prospective students and their parents
heard from the College's students, faculty,
and administrators, who shared information
on what makes an education in the liberal
arts at Villanova an exceptional and
life-changing experience. Prospective
students also learned about the admissions
and financial aid process, and toured
campus.
Helen K. Lafferty, Ph.D., an associate dean
of the College and College professor of the
liberal arts and sciences, welcomed the
attendees to campus. Thomas W. Smith, Ph.D.,
associate dean for Humanities and founding
chair of the Department of Humanities, spoke
to the prospective students and their
families about the value of a liberal arts
education at Villanova. Katarina Mayers, a
junior communication major from Los Angeles,
California, also shared her Villanova
experiences with open house attendees. Among
her many on-campus activities, Kat musically
directs the a cappella group, "Nothing But
Treble," and performs in student-run
musicals held each semester.

Relevance of Augustine for Young Adults
Today
 A
Lecture and Discussion:
The Relevance of Augustine for Young Adults Today, Rev. Theodore Tack,
O.S.A., Driscoll Hall Auditorium, November 5, 2009, at 7:30 p.m.
Rev. Theodore Tack, O.S.A., S.T.D., has been an Augustinian for over 60
years. During that time, he has served as head master of Cascia Hall
Preparatory School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, taught moral theology at the
Augustinianum in Rome, and served as prior general of the Order of Saint
Augustine. Among his books and articles are If Augustine Were Alive:
Augustine's Religious Ideal for Today and As One Struggling Christian
to Another: Augustine's Christian Ideal. From this wealth of knowledge
and experience, Fr. Ted will present a cogent argument for why the life of
Augustine is still relevant to Villanova University and every member of the
campus community.

advance representative, Mr. Garland concluded his career in Washington as
Director of Congressional Relations in the Office of Personnel Management.

Anthropology Lecture Series: Origins of
Ethics
 When and why did we become ethical beings?
Our species had its major biological
characteristics by about 150,000 years ago
or so. What were the steps that we took that
would eventually lead to our rich written
discussions about ethics? What were the
early sources that form the basis of an
ethical sense that is such a central part of
the human condition?
Please join us for our second lecture in
this year's Anthropology Lecture Series. The
"Origins of Ethics" by Tom McElhinney will
be in the Bryn Mawr Room of Connelly Center
on Wednesday, November 4, at 4 p.m.
Our speaker is an ethicist at Temple
University, Phoenix University, Temple
University Hospital, and Allegheny
