Suzanne Sousa ’10 (MS, Urban Policy
Analysis and Management) wanted to honor
her great-grandmother by improving lives
in Mozambique. She developed a plan to
provide farmers and their families with
improved irrigation by harnessing solar
energy. To learn how to implement her
idea, Suzanne turned to the Clinton Global
Initiative—University (CGI U) through its
partnership with The New School.
Opportunities to work with
organizations like CGI U are one of the
reasons students are drawn to the university.
This year, as The New School for General
Studies, Milano The New School for
Management and Urban Policy, and the
graduate program in International Affairs
begin operating as one division, there are
even more ways for students to develop
their careers while getting involved and
giving back. Michele Kahane, professor of
Professional Practice at The New School,
Fall 2010
who has spearheaded the university’s
engagements with CGI U and Ashoka
U, said, “Our students want to make a
difference in the world—that’s why they’ve
come here.”
This past spring, Sousa and 13 other
New School students from across the
university traveled to CGI U at the
University of Miami. Modeled on the
Clinton Global Initiative, which engages
world leaders to tackle environmental,

Welcomes Executive Dean
David Scobey
David Scobey began his appointment in
August as the new executive dean of The New
School for General Studies and Milano The
New School for Management and Urban Policy.
A national leader who has developed
innovative ways for higher education
institutions to engage communities outside
the academy, David has led programs
that unite faculty and students across
disciplinary and divisional lines. Since
2005, he has served as the Donald W. and
Ann M. Harward Professor of Community
Partnerships at Bates College. There he

Partnerships, an academic center
comprising programs in community-based
learning and research, co-curricular work,
and environmental stewardship.
From 1998 to 2005, David was founding
director of the Arts of Citizenship program
at the University of Michigan, which fosters
the public role of the arts, humanities,
and design in strengthening community
and deepening democracy. Under his
leadership, the program brought together
faculty, students, and community partners
in more than 30 collaborative projects from
Detroit to Battle Creek in theater, history,
visual arts, and urban design.
David graduated from Yale University with
a doctorate in American Studies. He was
a Rhodes Scholar, a senior research fellow
at the Smithsonian National Museum of
American History, and a recipient of various
fellowships and honors. David is the author
of Empire City: The Making and Meaning
of the New York City Landscape (Temple
University Press, 2002) and other studies
of 19th-century U.S. cultural and urban
history. He serves on the National Advisory
Committee of Project Pericles and was chair

Management and Urban Policy will begin
operating as one division. With such a broad
array of innovative programs, the reimagined
founding division will help us rethink what
a great university should look like in the
21st century. This rethinking will also be
informed and inspired by The New School’s
longstanding commitment to innovation,
civic engagement, social justice, and learning

For me, this venture also represents a
journey. After a quarter-century of teaching
at a large public university and a small liberal

to serve as executive dean of the division. I
came because I love The New School’s values
and its history of educational daring, and I
am excited to help lead the initiative I’ve been

Scholarship Program in perpetuity. The
scholarship supports adult students between
the ages of 25 and 50 who are returning to
school to complete their bachelor’s degree.
The Osher Reentry Scholarships were
first awarded at The New School three years
ago. By generously endowing the scholarship,
the foundation has ensured that students will
be able to take advantage of this opportunity
for years to come. The 30 students that have
already received Osher Reentry Scholarships
have excelled academically and are pursuing
diverse careers, including advocacy, media,
nonprofit management, business, the arts, Bernard and Barbro Osher
and academia.

Since its founding in 1943, the New

students juggle the competing demands of
family, work, and financial concerns while
fulfilling their educational and professional

Student Impact
Abroad: Brazil,

Beyond
Practice-based learning is a hallmark of a New
School education and an important aspect of
students’ career preparation. The International
Field Program (IFP) is an eight-week summer
practicum in which graduate students earn
six credits towards their master’s degree. Since
2001, through hands-on development work
with on-the-ground partners, the IFP has
completed diverse projects on four continents
for a variety of clients, tackling issues such
as HIV/AIDS prevention, human rights
violations, environmental sustainability,
disaster relief, and local governance.
“The IFP is our direct link from the
classroom to on-the-ground realities,” explains
IFP faculty coordinator Mark Johnson.
“Students learn by doing and test their own
abilities as practitioners with the help of
field directors and our partner institutions.”
With sites in seven countries—Argentina,
Brazil, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Kosovo,
Nepal, and Uganda—IFP partners with a
wide range of organizations, from grassroots
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)
to major international bodies, such as the
International Rescue Committee and the
United Nations.
Leona Deckelbaum ’10 (MA, International
Affairs) participated in the 2009 IFP in Rio
de Janeiro, teaching photojournalism to
students from the Cantagalo favela. She also
worked with the Brazilian government’s social
branch of the Program for the Acceleration
of Growth. Leona returned to Brazil after
realizing during her IFP experience that
favela residents themselves had never been
asked directly about their experiences with
government services. Through her work to
make government services more efficient
and effective she hopes to “give voice to the
community’s needs and priorities and provide
policy makers with tangible information about
perceptions within the communities they are
trying to serve.”
Whether working domestically or
internationally, tomorrow’s global leaders
must be trained to work effectively amidst
globalization and urbanization. Before

graduating, Tara Paleczny-Zapp ’10 (MS,
Nonprofit Management) participated in
the 2009 IFP. “To me, the connection and
overlap between policy and management with
international affairs is obvious and necessary
given today’s global economy, media, and
communication,” she says. In the IFP, Tara
conducted fieldwork in Ethiopia on HIV/
AIDS NGO networks and the differing role of
faith-based and secular HIV/AIDS initiatives.
Now she is doing consulting work for an HIV/
AIDS nongovernmental organization based in
New York and Uganda.

New School
Scholars Around
the World
As the recipient of a Fulbright fellowship,
Elizabeth McDonald, BA Liberal Arts ’09, says, “I
see the Fulbright as a fun transition into the
next phase of my career—I want to do more
academic and creative work in the United
States and abroad. This will be my first
opportunity to execute a long-term project that
I have been planning.”
Elizabeth joins two current students and one
other alum from The New School for General
Studies who are Fulbright fellows in 2010–2011.
Over the past seven years, 18 New School
students have been accepted into the program
and have studied in places as diverse as Ghana,
Japan, Romania, and India. To help students
navigate the highly competitive application
process, the school offers a range of services
including meetings to explore possible projects,
language training and evaluations, and matching
applicants to a “Fulbright Committee” composed
of faculty with expertise in the applicant’s
academic area of focus and target country.
Associate Dean Celesti Colds-Fechter meets
with New School Fulbright candidates and
writes the summaries that go to the Fulbright
Commission. She says, “It’s wonderful to hear
the excitement in applicants’ voices when they
find out they have won a fellowship. Fulbright
provides a great experience for our students, and
it is a nice way to show prospective students what
is possible with a New School education.”
Projects undertaken by Fulbright recipients
are as unique as the fellows themselves. Elizabeth
is located in Brazil, where she is studying
Taiko Drumming in the Japanese community.
MATESOL student Maria Brewster traveled
to Turkey, where she has a Fulbright English
Teaching Assistantship. Media Studies student
Jacqwi Campbell, who also received Fulbright’s
Critical Language Enhancement Award, is
in Bahrain doing research about women who
have appeared in Bahraini media. Finally,
Angela Wong, MFA Creative Writing ’07, is in
Taiwan compiling an anthology of essays about
Taiwanese writing.
These fellows from The New School are
not only broadening their knowledge and
perspectives but also helping to fulfill Fulbright’s
mission of increasing cultural understanding and
awareness between nations.  2

The New School
Welcomes Dean
Neil Grabois
Neil Grabois was appointed dean of
Milano/GPIA in August. His broad range
of academic and philanthropic experience
has prepared him to lead the integrated
programs during this dynamic time. A
seasoned academic leader, he has served
as a president, provost, dean, department
chair, mathematics professor, and trustee.
He spent eight years in the philanthropic
sector and has devoted much of his career
to research involving higher education and
educational change. Neil was president of
Colgate University from 1988 to 1999. From
1999 to 2007, he was vice president and
director of Strategic Planning and Program
Coordination for the Carnegie Corporation
of New York. Neil is a trustee of Swarthmore
and Smith Colleges and has served on
the Association of American Colleges and
Universities, the Pew Foundation Science
Advisory Committee, the American Council
on Education’s Commission on Leadership
Development, and the Project Pericles Board
of Directors.
Neil comes to The New School at a
pivotal moment. He remarked, “I was
drawn to The New School in part because
the integration of Milano and the graduate
program in International Affairs represents
an exciting opportunity. In bringing together
international affairs, management, and policy,
I believe that Milano/GPIA and the larger
division are poised to break new ground
in problem-based teaching and learning.”

First Alumni
Association
Board Members
Appointed
The New School Alumni Association is
pleased to announce its first cohort of board
members. Drawing from a strong pool of
candidates, the university has appointed
11 alumni representing all aspects of the
university. The new members began serving
two-year terms on July 1, 2010. With
advisement from this new group, a full 40
member board will be in place by July 2012.
One of the group’s first tasks is to help
recruit future board members. They will
also develop board objectives and goals and
help shape an alumni program that provides
alumni with even more opportunities to
network, socialize, and connect with and
support the university.
The first group of board members come
from a wide range of professional backgrounds
and graduation years. Their expertise in various
fields and their common desire to build a
strong alumni presence within the New School
community will be invaluable.

economic, and public health challenges, the
CGI U invites college students to submit
proposals that address global problems,
dubbed “commitments to action.” (Learn
more about student commitments below.)
The Clinton Global Initiative also holds
an annual meeting in New York City in
September, where New School students have
the opportunity to volunteer at the meeting
and meet heads of state, business leaders, and
nonprofit directors.
In addition to CGI U, students can also
benefit from programs with Ashoka U, an
organization that partners with institutions
of higher education to develop curricular and
extra-curricular offerings to help students
become leaders in social entrepreneurship.
The New School was selected as one of nine
universities to participate in the Ashoka
U Changemaker Campus Consortium in
the fall of 2009. Other chosen universities
include Duke, Babson, and Tulane. “The
Changemaker initiative aims to expand social
entrepreneurship education across campuses
and explore ways in which universities can
become hubs for innovation that create
solutions to social problems,” said Kahane.
“It is not a surprise that The New School was
chosen to participate.”
Initiatives like CGI U and Ashoka U
demonstrate that The New School’s legacy
of positive social change continues in the
classroom and beyond. Kahane said, “These
initiatives give students a taste of how to
merge theory into practice and how to take
what they’ve learned in the classroom and
practice it throughout the world—looking for
solutions and solving critical societal issues.”

On Campus and
Off: Spring 2010
This past spring, New School alumni
celebrated their reunion year and learned about
New York City’s history. On Saturday, April
17, New School alumni from the classes of
1980, 1985, and 1990 gathered on campus to
celebrate their 30th, 25th, and 20th reunions
2
respectively at Reunion 2010. The day-long
event included lectures, panel discussions,
and a cocktail reception. On Saturday, May
15, more than 70 New School alumni from
various years attended an evening event at The
Merchant House Museum in the East Village
of New York City. At the museum, alumni
learned about 19th-century New York City
life and reconnected with fellow alumni at
the cocktail reception afterwards. Both events
