Watch video of Eastern Conference Champions performing their song from "Twilight: Eclipse" soundtrack at WXAV
Chicago (Sept. 28, 2010) A Paste Magazine poll recently named WXAV 88.3FM, Saint Xavier University's student-run radio station, one of the 40 best low-wattage stations in the country.
Paste, a monthly alternative music magazine, praised WXAV for its broad range of programming, airing everything from the Sisters of Mercy-produced public affairs show “God Matters” to heavy-metal. Read the full list here.
“This national recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the WXAV staff," said Peter Kreten, Assistant Director of Campus Life for Student Media and WXAV General Manager. "This is a tremendous honor to be recognized with so many other great radio stations.”
Indie-rock trio Eastern Conference Champions recently performed live on WXAV. The group, comprised of Joshua Ostrander (vocals, guitar), Greg Lyons (drums) and Melissa Dougherty (bass), has a new album titled "SPEAK-AHH" due out later this year. Ostrander performed their hit song "A Million Miles an Hour," which was featured in "Twilight: Eclipse."

SXU begins 2010-11 film series with Modern Times
First in “Working on Film” series
Chicago (Sept. 2, 2010) Saint Xavier University will screen the 1936 film Modern Times at 7 p.m. on Thurs., Sept. 16 in McGuire Hall, Warde Academic Center, 3700 W. 103rd St., Chicago.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Little Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world in Modern Times. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and fiscal conditions many people faced during the Great Depression; conditions caused, in Chaplin's view, by the dehumanizing efficiency of modern industrialization. Starring Chaplin, Paulette Godard, Henry Bergman, Stanley Sandford and Chester Conklin.
Modern Times is the first of six movies in Saint Xavier’s 2010-11 film series, “Working on Film.” This year’s film series offers an array of screenings that shed light on the experience of labor: how and where people work and the ways that work affects personal life. These stories of work span 80 years of film making and stretch across the globe, linked by the universality of work and human dignity. Upcoming films include El Norte, Bitter Rice, Killer of Sheep, Norma Rae and Baran.
For more information, contact Film Series Director Alison Fraunhar, Ph.D., at fraunhar@.sxu.edu or (773) 298-3083.

SXU awarded U.S. Department of Education Grant
$301,690 under Student Support Services Program
For Immediate Release
Media Contact:
Jay Foot, Executive Director of Media Relations
773-617-3632 or foot@sxu.edu
Chicago (August 10, 2010) On August 9th Saint Xavier University was notified by the Office of Senator Dick Durbin in Washington D.C. that the University has been selected by the United States Department of Education to receive continued federal funding to support the Student Success Program (SSP). The grant will be extended in the amount of $301,690 for the period September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. It is anticipated that the grant will be 5 years in duration.
Saint Xavier has been selected to receive this funding under the Student Support Services Program, a federal TRIO grant program administered through the DOE. The University SSP is intended to increase the graduation rates of students by enhancing academic support, connection to concerned staff, individualized counseling, and other activities designed to augment student academic skills. SSP is currently funded to serve 204 students.
“This federal funding makes possible the continuation of vital services to many SXU students who really need them the most,” said Saint Xavier President Christine M. Wiseman, J.D.
Saint Xavier SSP students must be first generation (neither parent has achieved a bachelor’s degree), low-income, or affected by disabilities. SSP is not a remedial program; it is a retention program enabling Saint Xavier staff to promote academic progress by working as a team. SSP services to students include: academic & personal development workshops, service and leadership opportunities, academic monitoring, peer mentoring, and special events. SSP has been serving students at SXU since 1993.

SXU Football Ranked No. 4 in College Fanz Preseason Poll
Chicago (July 1, 2010) Following its historic and record-breaking 2009 campaign, Saint Xavier University football coach Mike Feminis and the Cougars earned the No. 4 spot in the 2010 College Fanz Sports Network Preseason NAIA Football Top 25 Rankings. The national media outlet released the rankings earlier this week.
The Cougars set a new standard for wins last fall going 13-1 overall, winning their first Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) Mideast League title and tying their best postseason finish by qualifying for the semifinals of the NAIA Championship Series before falling to eventual national champion University of Sioux Falls (S.D.). Sioux Falls tops the preseason poll with 2009 national runner-up Lindenwood University (Mo.) and Carroll College (Mont.) nabbing the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
“It’s exciting to be ranked as high as we are but you also have to realize a lot of what goes into a preseason rating is based off of what a team did the year before,” said Feminis. “Nonetheless, the expectation of our players and coaches is to take that final step and play for our first ever NAIA National Championship. With the guys we have coming back this year, I have no doubt that we can make a serious run at it.”
The Cougars return a ton of playmakers from its stellar 2009 season, including senior starting quarterback Anthony Kropp (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East). Kropp completed 62 percent of his passes (326-for-527) for 4,425 yards and 43 touchdowns as a junior last fall. SXU also returns a pair of 1,000-yard receivers in seniors Mike Maher (Plainfield, Ill./Providence Catholic) and Xavier Torres (Chicago, Ill./Central Michigan/Lane Tech). Also returning in 2010 are senior running back Donnie Selby (Alsip, Ill./Shepard), who racked up 777 yards on the ground as a junior, and senior defensive standouts Pat Geary (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) at cornerback and Brendan Sheehy (Chicago, Ill./Brother Rice) at linebacker.
Saint Xavier begins its 2010 season on the road with a Thursday night game (Aug. 26) against Bethel College (Tenn.) at 7 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium in McKenzie, Tenn. The home opener is on Thursday, September 2, at 7 p.m. with the Cougars taking on rival University of St. Francis (Ill.) at Bruce R. Deaton Memorial Field in Chicago.

SXU Chef heads to the White House for “Let’s Move!” anti-childhood obesity campaign
Chef Michael Smith volunteers to help local schools create healthier menus
Chicago (June 8, 2010) Saint Xavier University Senior Executive Chef Michael Smith recently attended the “Chefs Move to Schools” program kick-off, a branch of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! anti-childhood obesity campaign, at the White House.
Smith volunteered for the program, which pairs chefs with local schools to help create healthier menus and teach children about nutrition, but has not yet been matched with a school. Let’s Move! aims to support parents, provide healthier food in schools, help kids be more physically active, and make healthy, affordable food available in every part of the country.
Smith, a Chicago resident, said the program is important because it teaches children how to make healthy lifestyle choices for themselves.
“It’s one of the best causes I’ve heard in a long time,” Smith said. “I’ve been trying to make an impact in healthy eating, and it’s so hard to change young adults’ eating habits that it’s like hitting your head against the wall. The initiative to start with children and show them healthy lifestyle choices is a great idea.”

SXU service trip travels to Belize
Nine SXU volunteers built a home for needy people
Chicago June 2, 2010) Nine Saint Xavier University students and staff recently traveled to Belize with a Sister of Mercy to help build a home for needy people as part of the Third International Mercy Service Trip.
In accord with the University’s mission and core values of providing service to those in need, the group volunteered with the Building for Change program through Hand in Hand Ministries in Belize City to build a basic 16x16 home for a woman and her mother who previously were residing in an uninhabitable structure. The group also volunteered to work with local children affected by HIV at Hand in Hand’s Outreach Center and learned about Belize’s social, economic and political climate.
"My visit to Belize was a life-changing experience,” said graduate student Danelle Schuch of Oak Lawn. “We had an opportunity to work with an amazing organization, Hand in Hand Ministries, to make a real difference in someone's life. It was all worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
The trip also visited Sisters of Mercy at Saint Catherine’s Academy in Belize City, the Mayan temples at Altun Ha and the island of Cave Caulker for snorkeling. Additionally, the group took time for daily prayer and reflection about their experiences, how it affected their faith and what they learned.
The following students attended the trip: Tara Becker, freshman, Burbank; Lauren Hennessy, sophomore, Orland Park; Kayla Jacobs, sophomore, Sterling; Julie Keller, sophomore, New Lenox; Alejandra Reyes, junior, Blue Island; Danelle Schuch, graduate student, Oak Lawn; and Jessica Usher, sophomore, Chicago. Also in attendance were SXU staff members Esther Sanborn and Brian Kelley and Sister of Mercy Sr. Kathleen McClelland.
SXU’s Office of Mission and Heritage sponsored the trip. For more information, please contact Sr. Joy Clough in the Office of Mission and Heritage at (773) 298-3981 or clough@sxu.edu.

SXU professor chosen for distinguished national fellowship award
Karen Benjamin, Ph.D. named National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral FellowChicago (May 27, 2010) Saint Xavier University assistant professor of history Karen Benjamin, Ph.D. has been chosen to be a 2010-11 National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellow.
The fellowship program supports early career scholars working in critical areas of education research. This nonresidential postdoctoral fellowship funds proposals that make significant scholarly contributions to the field of education. Fellows take the equivalent of one year’s teaching leave during the fellowship term. Benjamin’s fellowship award of $55,000 is intended to assist with salary replacement and research expenses for the fellowship period. The fellowship selection committee chose twenty fellows from a competitive pool of one-hundred sixty applications from scholars of education nationwide.
Benjamin’s graduated with a Ph.D. in History and Educational Policy Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007. Her research and teaching interests include 20th century U.S. history, the historical construction of race, the history of American education, the history of the U.S. South, and grassroots reform movements. Her current research project, titled “Suburbanizing Jim Crow: The Impact of School Policy on Residential Segregation,” developed from a case study of a 1920s school building program in Raleigh, North Carolina that continues to shape the city’s racially segregated housing patterns to this day.
“I will use my time off from teaching for research-related travel before beginning the manuscript which will pull together my findings,” said Benjamin. “I am hoping to have a book contract by the end of next year and a completed book manuscript soon thereafter.”
“We congratulate Dr. Benjamin on her selection for this prestigious fellowship,” said SXU College of Arts and Sciences Dean Kathleen Alaimo, Ph.D. “This award affirms her scholarly work at Saint Xavier and allows her a dynamic opportunity to develop it further.”
The fellowships are administered by the National Academy of Education, an honorary educational society. They are funded by a grant to the Academy from the Spencer Foundation. Now in its twenty-fourth year, the fellowship program has more than 600 alumni who include many of the strongest education researchers in the field today.
