Dwyer will become the first laywoman to assume presidency of Saint Xavier University. On October 1, Dwyer will replace outgoing president Dr. Richard Yanikoski, who announced his decision to leave his post in December 2003, "To pursue scholarly interests too long deferred." He plans to begin what he anticipates will be a ten-year agenda of research projects concerning the status and future of Catholic higher education. "The choice of Dr. Dwyer was an easy one, she is an extraordinary woman and an extraordinary academic. Her experience as a university administrator is extensive and impressive." said John P. Sweeney, Board of Trustees chairman in a press release dated September 3." "Her credentials are superior in every respect. We look forward to her future success at Saint Xavier University as it moves to a new level of excellence based on the foundation laid by Dr. Yanikoski." Dr. Dwyer, who is currently the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn., enthusiastically stated that she looks "forward to becoming a member of a vital Judith A. Dwyer stands in front of Morris Hall (Photo - The Xavierite) community of high energy and intellectual rigor and a community committed to a vibrant future." When asked how she felt about being the first laywoman to hold the title of President of St. Xavier University, Dr. Dwyer said, "It is a great honor, the presidency is a position of leadership, and I have experience as a scholar and administrator who has enjoyed many opportunities to collaborate with men and women in moving a university forward." Dr. Dwyer's exceptional 12- page resume states that she has more than "20 years of successful experience working on and with the Board of Trustees, fund raising, donor and alumni relations, marketing, strategic planning, new programmatic development, and the accreditation process." Dr. Dwyer has a Ph.D. in theology from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and has completed post-doctoral work at both Harvard University and Oxford University. Dr. Dwyer said her experience at the University of St. Thomas, a Catholic institution, will help her as she joins Saint Xavier University. She says that "both schools are similar, both are rich in Catholic heritage, both are located in an urban environment and both share commitment to liberal arts and career preparation. While at the University of St. Thomas, Dr. Dwyer initiated and oversaw the university's strategic planning process (1999-2003) which will determine priorities for the comprehensive capital and endowment fundraising campaign to be launched in the next several years. Included in the process is a $250 million master campus plan. She has also supervised and expanded four campuses. "She possesses the academic credentials, administrative experience, commitment to Catholic higher education, strength of character, and boundless energy necessary to lead SXU into the future." Dr. Yanikoski wrote in a September 3 memo. New Pulaski Building Creates Much Needed Space By Patrick Matthews Deputy News Editor Continuing with the on going efforts of Saint Xavier University to modify and expand with the ever-increasing amount of students cycling in, the Pulaski Building has become a new addition to the SXU community. The Pulaski Building, which is 4800 square feet, was originally built in the 1940s and was in dire need of rehab within the, what was, dilapidating structure. It now contains four classrooms and a new telemarketing area for the much needed University expansion. Classrooms 1 and 2 both have electronic projector screens and projectors in the ceilings. This enables professors to be able to provide multimedia information while teaching. As for classrooms 3 and 4, room 3 can seat twenty-four students while classroom 4 is a seminar room that can seat twelve. Classroom 1 can seat thirty students while classroom 2 seats thirty-two. In addition to the new classrooms there are two brand new restroom facilities in addition to a lounge area with pop and snack vending machines as well as a copier. Security has also been updated on the building to ensure safety for all students and personnel. To access the buildings you must have your student express cards to swipe at the two entrances of the building. There are also security cameras mounted inside and outside of the building. As for the second floor, which is the new facilities for the telemarketing department, is also only accessible by key card. It contains a conference room with seating for eight, a faculty or staff office, a new restroom and a kitchenette with a microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and dining area. In the largest room on the floor there is six telemarketing stations used for recruiting and fund raising. All the facilities have carpet or tile flooring and the building is complete with central air conditioning and heat. The building is currently being leased and the University is looking for a donor that will slap his or her last name as part of the title of the new building. Due to the increase in school enrollment SXU has their shuttle bus running back and forth much more than it used to. This will help benefit students who are taking a class their and not have to drive all the way to the main campus in order to get to where they need to go in a timely matter. The University, in the near future, is looking for art and/or display materials to place, in the now empty, front windows facing Pulaski. Ken Kulick, the Building and Construction manager for the University, had a moment The Pulaski Building, located at the corner of 103rd St. and Pulaski Ave. (Photo - The Xavierite) to speak to the Xavierite about this project. Mr. Kulick said, "The Pulaski facility adds pleasant and appealing classroom space. The one in question, the whole area, the building and the parking lot, is more than dramatically illuminated and has added one hundred and ninety parking spots to the campus. The University has been well received by the community, especially the neighbors." Received well indeed, the University found it's been welcomed into the community with open arms. The illumination has cut down on the garbage dumping and underage drinking that used to take place there, according to local residents. The Pulaski Building is found at the corner of 103rd street and Pulaski. It is next door to Parking Lot 14 for easy access to the building.
