PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
Summer 2015
Dear Xavier Alumni and Friends,
With joy and hope, I address you as president of Xavier University of
Louisiana!
You will find an article by Richard Tucker within this publication that will
offer a small glimpse into who I am and where I’ve been, so I won’t provide
those details here. But let me just take this opportunity to convey how
deeply honored I am to be at Xavier and how eager I am to work with all
of you – the faculty, staff, alumni, students, friends and other stakeholders
– to assure that the distinctive mission of this University is sustained and
enhanced in the evolving higher educational environment.
As you would expect, the initial months in this new position have
been quite hectic. There has been much to learn (and am still learning)
about what makes Xavier “Xavier” — its culture, its opportunities and
its challenges. There is also much to do pertaining to the day-to-day
operations of the University and preparing for the arrival of the new class.
I am looking forward to visiting with our distinguished alumni who are dispersed out across the
nation. I look forward to meeting with as many of you as I can in the near future, most especially
at our Fall 2015 Homecoming.
May you enjoy this issue of Xavier Gold magazine, which covers a range of University highlights,
alumni accomplishments, and many events from the past year.
As is the custom, we also include in this issue the annual Honor Roll of Donors. The continued
support and generosity of each and every donor is vital to our mission to educate deserving
students. We are forever grateful for your generosity.
The future of Xavier University of Louisiana is bright. With your unwavering support,
commitment, and prayers, together we will continue to ensure that Xavier University remains
this great gift to the nation.
Sincerely,
C. Reynold Verret
President

The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related
Educational Programs (CACREP), a specialized accrediting body
recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA) has granted accreditation of the following programs in the Division of
Education and Counseling at Xavier: Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MA) and
School Counseling (MA).
n A 2015 National Science Foundation report (Women, Minorities, and Persons with
Disabilities in Science and Engineering) shows that Xavier ranks third in the nation
in graduating African Americans who go on to obtain Ph.D.s in the STEM (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. The report, released in January
by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics Directorate for Social,
Behavioral and Economic, indicated that during the covered period – 2008-2012
– Xavier had 72 of its graduates earn doctorates in science and engineering. That
placed it third behind only Howard University and Spelman College, with 106 and 86
graduates respectively.

n The National Science Foundation awarded Xavier a two-year, $250,000 grant to
support research and education designed to provide more precise measurements
of gamma rays emissions produced by lightning. Dr. Anderson Sunda-Meya, the
Norwood Endowed Chair in Physics at Xavier and principal investigator, said the
project, “Terrestrial Gamma Flashes at Ground Level,” provides an opportunity
for students to work on real hands-on projects in the laboratory with practicing
engineers and scientists and enable faculty scientists to enter into a field that is
completely new for the University.
n Xavier received a grant of $80,000 from the Black and Indian Mission Board in
support of its educational ministries. The University will use the grant – which was
among those approved this year by a commission which administers funds derived
from the Catholic Church’s annual National Black and Indian Mission Collection – to
sponsor culturally appropriate events and formation activities which encourage
Christian values through its robust Campus Ministry program.
n Xavier received a $19.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
as part of the national Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Initiative.
Xavier will use the grant to expand the already thriving biomedical programs the
historically Black university offers its students. The award is part of a $240 million
NIH investment involving more than 10 institutions to develop new approaches to
engage student researchers, including those from underrepresented backgrounds,
and prepare them to thrive in the NIH-funded workforce. Xavier and fellow awardees
will establish a national consortium to train, mentor and encourage students from
underrepresented groups to enter into and stay in research careers.

Institute of Technology, Auburn University, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory,
and the NASA Glenn Center. XU chemistry professor Dr. Lamartine Meda is
the principal investigator (PI) for the project, which has both a research and
education component.
n The 100,000 Strong Foundation (100K Strong) – a national organization
leading the movement to ensure that the next generation of Americans is
equipped to engage effectively with China – designated Xavier as the lead
institution for its “Advance Louisiana – Educating a Globally-Competent
Workforce” initiative. The partnership has three major objectives: to expand
Mandarin teaching in Louisiana primary and secondary schools, community
colleges, and HBCUs, to facilitate and enhance study abroad in China for those
students in Louisiana who participate in Mandarin instruction, and enhance
the cultural understanding of owners and employees in businesses throughout
Louisiana – especially those engaged in the tourism industry.
n The Louisiana Clinical & Translational Science Center (LA CaTS) has named
Xavier professor Dr. Guangdi Wang as a featured investigator for his research
with breast cancer treatment. His current LA CaTS project evaluates the efficacy of a
new medication, the boron-4-hydroxytamoxifen prodrug, for breast cancer patients

n The 2016 edition of the Fiske Guide to
Colleges has selected Xavier among its “Best Buy
Schools” for academics and affordability. The
publication designated 44 such institutions – 20
public and 24 private – as “Best Buys.” To qualify
for the distinction, the colleges and universities
must have a four- or five-star academic rating,
be in the inexpensive or moderate price
category, and have a good quality of student
campus life. Xavier is the only university in
Louisiana and one of only three Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to make the list.

“Change must
be gradual to be
enduring.”
St. Katharine
Drexel
N HER SIMPLE WORDS (see at left), our
foundress, St. Katharine Drexel implied
the desirability of change and associated
change with preservation and endurance
of individuals and institutions. Through
four scores and more, Xavier University
indeed has thrived and prospered through
reinvention and response to the signs of the
times.
As we begin the 2015-16 academic year,
Xavier University has a new President—
Dr. C. Reynold Verret. Most Universities
experience a change of leadership every
7 to 10 years. Our change comes after
the 47 year tenure of our esteemed and
now Emeritus President, Dr. Norman
C. Francis ’52. In his wisdom, President
Francis announced his retirement last
September. After guiding us through many
extraordinary and awesome changes that
have assured our endurance, Dr. Francis
blessed this beloved institution and heralded
another epoch.
Since it began, change has been a constant
in the life of Xavier. Starting as a high
school in 1915, Xavier then added an
accredited College with less than 100
students by 1925 and finally transformed
to a regional liberal arts University on a
new campus with almost 1,000 students by
1933. Today Xavier has been transformed
into a national educational powerhouse
with an enrollment of almost 4,000 prior to
Hurricane Katrina. The campus itself – once
a small collection of permanent buildings
and recycled military buildings, is now a
sprawling complex comprised of traditional
and modern academic, administrative,
residential, and recreational buildings.

Some Xavierites may recall the day when
leadership of the nation’s only historically
black, Catholic university was transferred,
after 43 years, from the Sisters of the
Blessed Sacrament to Dr. Norman C.
Francis. Initial feelings of trepidation and
disbelief right after the announcement
soon gave way to excitement and great
joy!

T IS NOT AT ALL surprising that Dr.
Francis’ announcement sent similar
shockwaves and emotions through
the Xavier community and within the
wider higher education community as
well. Every conversation asked “What
then?” We were assured right away by
Mr. Michael Rue, Chair of the Xavier
Board of Trustees, that there would be
a search for a new President and that
the Search Committee would seek “to
identify someone with similar values,
principles, energy and faith to lead us into
the future.” So it has come to pass. The
long wait is over! Xavier’s new president,
Dr. C. Reynold Verret arrived on July 1
and hit the ground running. He is aware
of what was, and, more importantly,
is cognizant of the fact that it’s what
happens next that is most important. Our
future is in our hands.
what must be attended to at the moment,
one day at a time.” He read the signs of
the time.
In a recent interview, I had the
opportunity to find out more about
Dr. Verret, and his first impressions. I
began my questions with the challenge
of following Francis, who has become a
legend.
“And that is basically my approach,” he
added. “I have many ideas that I want to
explore with the faculty, staff, alumni and
students. Together we will chart a course
for Xavier going forward and then deal
with those issues which are most pressing.
Then, like our foundress, St. Katharine,
we will work and pray faithfully while
relying on God to take care of the future.”
“I can’t say I knew Dr. Francis well, but I
did have a chance to spend time with him
prior to my appointment, and I have had
several opportunities since that time to
absorb some of his wisdom. I know that
I can rely on his counsel. I know of his
work, and there is no doubt he is certainly
deserving of all of the respect and
admiration he has received,” responded
Verret.
“But I also know this: the legendary
Dr. Francis we all know today did not
become legendary on his first day as
president,” he said. “His accomplishments
were achieved over many years of faithful
service to this University and to higher
education in general, and are the result
of his not only having had a vision for
the future, but having the gift to focus on
Dr. Verret’s path to Xavier was paved
during a teaching stint at Tulane early in
his career. “Having lived in New Orleans
previously, I was already aware of Xavier’s
fine reputation,” said Verret. “I’d also had
the opportunity to work with a number
of Xavier graduates and faculty members,
and I had always come away impressed
with their knowledge, professionalism
and dedication.”
When recommended by others and
contacted by the Search Firm working
with Xavier, Dr. Verret accepted the
invitation to apply for the Presidency.
Through a series of interviews, he and
others were vetted by members of the

Xavier Search Committee. Dr. Verret
stood out among all the candidates and
subsequently was recommended to the
Board. The final step was a May interview
with the Board, who then enthusiastically
announced Verret’s appointment in early
June.
At that time, the Board Chairman
asserted “While there were a number of
highly-qualified candidates, Dr. Verret
stood out for his proven leadership and
experience expanding enrollment and
increasing graduation rates. His record
of achievement, personal history, and
values set him apart as the clear choice to
carry on the ideals that our founder, St.
Katharine Drexel, and our longstanding
president, Dr. Norman C. Francis, wove
into the fabric of this institution.”
Since his arrival, Dr. Verret has spent
much of his time orienting himself
to the campus, visiting with available
faculty, staff and students, familiarizing
himself with day-to-day operations,
and learning more about the current
strengths, challenges, and opportunities
that are ours. He already presided over
a Commencement as well. Four Institute
for Black Catholic Studies students
received their Masters degrees from our
new president in mid-July.
“Together we will
chart a course
for Xavier going
forward.”

Director Leo Marsh
Asked about his plans for the future, Dr.
Verret is reflective. “There’s a lot to the
Xavier story – our past success, not only
in the sciences, but in the humanities,
arts and social sciences, has been well
documented – but we will not navigate
successfully the road ahead by looking
only in the rear-view mirror,” said Verret.
“Xavier is not just the president. There
are many other committed and talented
people in the broad Xavier community,
and to be successful I need to engage all
of them in creating our vision for the
future.”
I also asked Dr. Verret to address the
serious challenges that face not only
Xavier, but higher education in general
across the board, among them: decreasing
student enrollment, limited financial
resources and rising costs, and the lack of
academic preparation exhibited by many
of today’s high school students.
“All HBCUs, Xavier notably among them,
were established to serve the underserved
black population, and that mission has

not changed,” said Verret. “But today
there are also other growing populations
that need special attention as well. Xavier
has always been open to students of all
cultures and religious traditions and we
are enriched by our diversity. Clearly our
responsibility as a Catholic institution,
as well as our attention to the priorities
set by Pope Francis, call us to do our part
to address the educational needs of the
poor, voiceless, and disenfranchised in
contemporary society.”

Even though Xavier’s cost of attendance
is already lower than the national average
for private institutions and even for
out-of-state public institutions, making
Xavier more accessible financially is
another challenge that must be addressed.
It is no secret that one of the biggest
obstacles to retention of students is their
inability to pay tuition and fees due
to the combination of rising costs and
scaled-back government assistance. New
students – needing scholarship money
to offset those costs – are following
the money trail in choosing a college.
“Securing adequate funds that will allow
us to offer students a Xavier education at
an affordable price, and doesn’t require
their having to work excessive hours or
accumulate a significant debt is essential
to Xavier’s future,” Dr. Verret said. “This
will necessitate finding new sources of
revenue, and we will be relentless in our
pursuit.”
Dr. Verret has experienced first-hand that
many high school students are coming
to college underprepared academically.
He affirms the impact of Xavier’s efforts,
especially the array of Xavier’s summer
pre-college and bridge programs. He
adds: “Part of the Xavier mystique stems
from its ability to instill in its students –
early on – that they can handle a tough
academic curriculum, and that they will
become successful in their chosen careers,
whatever those might be.” Xavier provides
the extra support and the environment
that is needed to level the playing field. I
am grateful to collaborate with dedicated
and energetic faculty and staff who have a
clear commitment to Xavier’s mission and
to the success of each student.”
D
R. VERRET is uniquely qualified
by his distinctive skills, experience,
education, and values to guide Xavier’s
mission and to move it forward in the
face of these and other challenges.
His immigration to the United States
from Haiti as a young boy in 1963, his
subsequent upbringing in Brooklyn NY
in a single-parent household, and the
mentoring and guidance he received from
Catholic nuns and priests, give him a
unique experience and insight regarding
the challenges facing minorities and an
appreciation of the Catholic faith and its
values.
Dr. Verret’s academic background
is robust. A postdoctoral fellow at
the Howard Hughes Institute for
Immunology at Yale University and at
the Center for Cancer Research at MIT,
he holds a B.A. in biochemistry from
Columbia University as well as Ph.D. in
biochemistry from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
His experience as an educator is extensive.
Verret previously served on the faculties of
Tulane University, the Misher College of
Arts and Sciences at the University of the

Sciences, Morehouse School of Medicine,
Clark Atlanta University, Wilkes College,
and Savannah State.
As provost at of Savannah State and
Wilkes Universities and dean at
University of the Sciences, Dr. Verret
worked closely with the university
presidents and cabinets to achieve the
visions and strategic goals of these
institutions; he provided leadership
to ensure that the essential priorities
were addressed and implemented. He
led the university’s initiatives to build
enrollment, enhance the quality and
diversity of academic programs and
to create cooperative relationships
with neighboring institutions and
with international partners. He
also contributed to the university’s
advancement efforts by shaping goals and
cultivating donors.
Wherever he has been he has helped
develop programs to prepare STEM
teachers, secure tuition support for
teacher certification in STEM fields, and
affirm collaborative instructional and
research programs, including global
initiatives in public health. He has been
equally vigorous in promoting program
in the humanities, arts and social
sciences. As member of the Humanities
Council of Pennsylvania, he advocated
interdisciplinary initiatives across our
many ways of knowing.
T
HROUGHOUT HIS CAREER,
Verret has worked to build bridges
across disciplines, recognizing that
the significant questions and societal
challenges require knowledge and
analysis across many fields. He has
promoted interdisciplinary curricula
between Liberal Arts, Humanities and
Sciences that address the interplay of
culture, science, and society and prepare
students in all disciplines for leadership
roles.
Having developed his skills as a teacher,
scholar, and mentor and having
demonstrated an ability to successfully
lead as an administrator, Dr. C. Reynold
Verret is eager to rise daily and serve as
Xavier’s President; he is eager to work
with us in shaping our preferred future.
He is ready, willing, and able. And we are
very grateful. XG
“[Dr. Verret’s] record of
achievement, personal
history, and values set
him apart as the clear

QUESTIONS
with
President
Verret
Q: What does the “C” in your name stand
for?
A: Charles. My early years were in Haiti,
where you are generally known by the
name before your last name.
Q: You’ve been President for more than a
month, how’s it going so far?
A: I have enjoyed it. I have been made to
feel very welcome here and I appreciate
the graciousness of everyone I have come
into contact with.
Q: What’s on your desk right now?
A: Xavier’s enrollment numbers,
demographics, the budget.
Q: Cats or Dogs?
A: I like both, but my son has a dog so I’ll
go with dogs.
Q: Would you rather be a dog named Killer
or a cat named Fluffy?
A: Fluffy.
Q: Does that say something about your
personality?
A: No.
Q: Android or iPhone?
A: iPhone, no preference, just what I have
now.
Q: Are you an early bird or a night owl?
A: Early bird, although I do tend to
stay up late as well. I must readjust
my biological clock, because I’m used
to getting up at 6 a.m. eastern time,
and that’s 5 a.m. here. You can see the
problem.

Q: What is it about Xavier that first got you
interested in the position?
A: I was approached by the search firm
handling the presidential search after I
was nominated by a colleague. It was a
calling to serve. I was flown to Boston for
what turned out to be a very thorough
interview. Having been in New Orleans
previously I was already aware of Xavier’s
fine reputation, and I have always been
impressed with the Xavier graduates and
faculty I have met and worked with.
Q: What is NOT on your resume that you’d
like to people to know about you?
A: I like to cook.
Q: Are you any good?
A: That’s not for me to say.
Q: Michael, Jesse, or Samuel L. Jackson?
A: Samuel L., I like his movies.
Q: Does that say anything about your
personality?
A: Not sure.
Q: Harpo. Chico, or Groucho?
A: Definitely Groucho.
Q: Who would win in a fight between
Spiderman and Batman?
A: Batman.
Q: What kind of car do you drive?
A: A Hyundai. I had a CRV for 12 years,
but I don’t need a car that big any more.
Q: Who’s influenced your life/career most?
A: No single person, but include Cy
Leventhal, a professor I had at Columbia;
Charles Wynans, a high school teacher;
Mary Roberts, now a professor at Boston
College; others.
Q: Name one person you’d like to have
dinner with?
A: Bill Clinton. I have friends who know
him. They marvel at his political ability,
even with those who disagree.
Q: I have to imagine the prospect of
following a legend like Dr. Francis is tough?
Did that give you any hesitation about
applying for or accepting the job?
A: I can’t say I know Dr. Francis
personally, but I have followed his career
and accomplishments from afar, and
he has merited all of the respect and
praise received. I also know this, that the
legendary Dr. Francis we all know today
was not yet legendary on his first day on
the job. What he accomplished over those
many years was the result of his not only
having a vision, but on focusing on the
immediate task at hand – one day at a
time. And that is my approach. I will deal
with the issues and needs of Xavier. Time
will take care of itself.
Q: What would I find in your refrigerator
right now?
A: Leftover meat sauce, Italian Ice,
watermelon.
Q: Speaking of refrigerators, how would
you get an elephant into a refrigerator?
A: In small pieces; hopefully it won’t come
to that.
Q: Would you rather GIVE or TAKE bad
advice?
A: I’d rather take it; I will make the effort
to overcome poor advice. I would not
easily impose the burden on another.
Q: What’s the best piece of advice YOU
could give someone?
A: Seek out people who are brighter than
you are.
Q: What was the worst piece of advice
YOU’VE ever been given?
A: I can’t think of anything specific, but
I’ve been given a lot of bad advice … I’ve
probably given myself some.
Q: Is it illegal to park your car on the
neutral ground?
A: Yes, but if you see someone else
parking on the neutral ground you might
want to move your car as well, it probably
means it’s going to flood.
Q: If Jurassic Park were real, would you
visit it?
A: Yes.
Q: Describe the color yellow to somebody
who’s blind.
A: The color of spring, the color of Easter,
the color of the sunrise … actually yellow
is my favorite color.
Q: What’s the skill you’d most like to have?
A: Musical talent. I’d love to be able to
play the piano.
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: I love music. I play the clarinet, but
it’s a love-hate relationship. I play for a
while and then I hear someone who can
really play – like Benny Goodman or Eric
Dolphy – and I put it aside for a while. I
also like to sing with a choir, and I love to
read.
Q: What do you think is the biggest
challenge facing students today?
A: Affording a college education is
certainly a big concern. But it’s also
becoming clear that the average student
in this country is coming to college
underprepared, which is a major problem.
If students are properly prepared then
college becomes a joyful experience – as
it should be. For some, it’s a grind, and we
lose a lot of talent because of this.
Q: Why are manhole covers round?
A: I suppose because the pressure is more
evenly distributed; if the cover were
square the edges would crack.
Q: What would be your perfect day away
from work?
A: Waking up late, a simple breakfast,
talking with good friends … and a beer
on the porch in the evening.
Q: Can you tell me something about your
family? Married? Children?
A: Divorced. I have two sons, Emmanuel
(24) and Antoine (19), who are in college
in Atlanta and Pittsburgh, respectively.
Q: What’s your favorite quote or motto?
A: Here is one. “Tis not too late to seek
a newer world.” It’s from Alfred Lord
Tennyson’s Ulysses.
Q: What’s your favorite music?
A: Jazz, Latin music, varied.
Q: What’s your all-time favorite book (and
why)?
A: One Hundred Years of Solitude, a 1967
novel by Colombian author Gabriel
García Márquez. It is because of having
read it in translation that I began to learn
the Spanish language.
Q: What did you want to be as a child?
A: I wanted to be a priest until I was
four. I told my mother I wanted to be
a scientist around the sixth grade even
though I had only a vague idea of what
grown scientists did.
Q: You were brought up Catholic?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you tell a joke?
A: Yes, badly. I can’t plan to tell a joke, but
I do like to tease.
Q: You just got a free plane ticket to
anywhere, but you have to depart right
now. Where are you going?
A: Morocco would be interesting –
famous cities like Casablanca and
Marrakesh, bazaar food.
Q: I know our alumni are anxious to meet
you. Any travel plans in your immediate
future?
A: We have been speaking about visiting
alumni chapters around the country, but
I’m not sure how my schedule will play
out in the next few months.
Q: What’s your greatest personal or
professional achievement to date?
A: I’d have to say the success of some
of my students. One particular student
comes to mind: he was a gifted
athlete with aspirations to the NFL.
Unfortunately, he suffered a broken arm
that ended that dream. He joined my lab
as an undergraduate and went on to earn
a Ph.D.
Q: Hollywood has decided to make a movie
about your life. Who would you like to see
play the lead role?
A: Morgan Freeman. Is there any
question? I’ve seen Shawshank
Redemption at least five times.
Q: What do you see as the role of HBCU’s in
today’s America?
A: HBCUs were established to serve
the underserved black population and
that mission has not changed. They
nurture talent that is needed to serve
our communities and the nation. They
are vessels of the African American
experience and history. Americans of all
origins can also benefit from the HBCU
experience.
Q: If you had only six months left to live,
what would you do with the time?
A: Visit with my sons. I’d write letters to
people I’ve known.
Q: What do you think are Xavier’s
strengths? Do you see any areas for
improvement?
A: Xavier has always had (and still has) a
total commitment to the achievement of
its students. It instills in them a belief that
they are able to learn and master, and can
succeed. This makes us special. A major
challenge, as I mentioned earlier, is that
not all of our students come here ready
for college work. We have to help them
overcome the gap.
Q: Is there a question you’d like to answer
that I haven’t asked yet?
A: No, you’ve been quite thorough.
Q: One last question. What do you envision
for Xavier going forward?
A: As mentioned earlier, I am still
learning about Xavier, its customs and
practice. I foresee programs that serve
non-traditional populations, such as
working adults. We will continually ask
ourselves a question that St. Katharine
Drexel would pose: whom are we called
to serve? XG

The Reluctant Coaching Icon
by Ron Brown
W
hen Otis Washington graduated from Xavier
University in 1961, he had no idea what he
would do next.
He did have three options: head west to California, become
involved in the Civil Rights Movement, or accept a job as a
coach. With the paltry sum of $16.82 in his pocket, California
was out of the question. The Civil Rights Movement was
probably too serious for many in his age group.
He’s not sure why, but he took the least appealing road at
the time and accepted a high school coaching position, even
though he wasn’t interested in a coaching career.
“I figured I’d stay at St. Augustine for a year and then get the
heck out of there,” he said.
One year turned into 18 and produced one of the state’s most
successful high school coaching tenures, and the coach who
wasn’t interested in coaching was enshrined in the Louisiana
Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches on June 27, 2015.
When your 11-year head coaching résumé includes three
state championships and a runner-up trophy, seven district
titles in the ultra-competitive Catholic League, an 80 percent
winning rate and more than 120 players sent to
colleges around the country, it’s
difficult to believe coaching really
wasn’t on his radar.
The Selma, Alabama, native later
became the first black football
coach at LSU and was head coach
at Southern for six years.
Washington was captain of the
last football team at Xavier in 1959
and was good enough to garner
all-conference accolades in football
and baseball.
He went to see Father Robert Grant,
principal at St. Aug.

“Father Grant told me they were
going to do great things at St. Aug,
and he wanted me to be a part of
it,” Washington said. “Actually, I was
just there the first year. I didn’t coach

anything; I was one
of those young ‘gofer’
coaches.”
After one year, he told
Grant he didn’t think
coaching was his thing.
Grant didn’t listen.
Instead, he told the
young “gofer” he would
pay his way to a coaching
clinic at Kansas State.
Obviously, Grant saw
something in the coach
who didn’t want to be a
coach.
“I went to clinics the

Bear Bryant of Alabama,

A&M, John McKay of USC, Bill Yeoman of Houston. After
rubbing shoulders with and learning from the best, I was
hooked.”
St. Aug was in the midst of the school’s first amazing
athletic run in the mid-1960s, winning three
state football crowns in four years in the
Louisiana Interscholastic Athletic and Literary
Organization, the black prep athletic governing
body during segregation. Washington was the
school’s junior-varsity coach.
A historic and successful 1967 lawsuit allowed
St. Aug to compete in the Louisiana High
School Athletic Association. After two subpar
seasons, Grant handed the reins to a 26-yearold who had never been a head coach. It
was one of the most significant coaching
decisions in New Orleans and Louisiana prep
football history.
The 1969 Purple Knights went 6-4 in
Washington’s first season, and 1970 was a
breakout year as St. Aug shared the Catholic
League title with Holy Cross and Jesuit
when all three finished 9-1.

A New Era of Class
I
t could be said that Kristine Pichon ’99 has always
possessed the quintessential traits needed to
succeed in the highly competitive fashion industry:
among them an ability to visualize ideas before ever putting
them to paper or computer, a knack for spotting subtle
differences in color and style, an eye for creative detail, a
willingness to work precisely and methodically, and a keen
business sense.
But when she entered Xavier as a freshman back in 1995,
fashion design was the furthest thing from her mind.
Considering the University’s well-established success in the
turning out exceptional health professionals – and with she
herself harboring some vague thoughts about working in
the cosmetics industry – it wasn’t all that surprising that she
choose chemistry/premed as a major.
Nor was it all that surprising when the detail-oriented
Dominican High School graduate proceeded to excel in such
areas as mathematics, computer science, and in science lab.
Unfortunately the same creative side of her brain that found
the latter areas enlightening and interesting, overwhelmingly
rejected the perceived tedium of lecture, and the combined
results left much to be desired.
It wasn’t long before her academic advisor not only “strongly
suggested” that she consider changing majors, but, in fact,
actively initiated a move over to the fine arts department.
At the time it was a bewildering and not-so-appreciated
development, but it turned out to be pivotal moment in her
Kristine

life and the catalyst to her
eventual career.
Fast forward to today,
where Pichon – heretofore
a well-respected and
appreciated custom
designer amongst her
peers and customers, but a
relative unknown in wider
public market – now stands
on the cusp of unbridled
success in the fashion world
at the relatively young age
of 38.
The catalyst for her own
Kristine Pichon ‘99
personal renaissance was
the prestigious New Orleans
(NOLA) Fashion Week 2015 show, at which, Pichon – who
creates, markets, and distributes original couture clothing and
accessories under her own K’Pich Designs label – was named
the winner of both the Top Designer and People’s Choice
Awards.
That major coup has led to unprecedented interest in her
designs, created new marketing venues, and opened the
doors to new local boutiques throughout the city at which to
sell her collections.
In addition to being recently featured in such noteworthy arts
publications as Face, Art & Design, and MOI magazines, she
was recognized at the recent Pensacola Fashion Week and has
been invited back to show another collection at next year’s

But only two teams from each district were allowed to
compete in the postseason. A coin toss decided which teams
would move on — and St. Aug was the odd team out.
“It was really, really hard to take,” Washington said. “That
was a really good football team, and you should never think
negative, but I just knew we were not going to win that coin
toss.”
“It was never, ever,
ever about me.
I just went along for
the ride. And boy,
what a ride.” —Otis Washington
Anthony Biagas was a member
of that hard-luck 1970 squad.

Washington rebounded from that heartache and went on to
win state titles in 1975, ’78 and ’79 in Class 4A — the state’s
highest classification at the time. The Purple Knights were a
perfect 15-0 in ’75.
In 1978, they defeated Catholic League rival Jesuit 13-7 before
a record crowd of 44,000 in the Superdome. That game is
credited with starting the idea of playing all of the state
championships in the Superdome over two days; three years
later, the LHSAA Prep Classic was born.
With a sparkling 106-25-1 record, Washington’s quest for
excellence was unyielding, his motivation simple.
“I was determined not to be a coach whose team would get
beat 77-0, or my kids wouldn’t know how to get into a threepoint stance,” he said. “I didn’t want them to not have a system
to fall back on when they got in trouble.”

perform and be proud of their performances. I wanted their
families to be proud of them, and the people who followed St.

Overcomes Long Odds
I
N THE AFTERMATH of a no less than horrific
automobile accident, doctors gave the parents of
9-year-old Felecia Woolens this frightening prognosis:
she had less than a 10 percent chance of surviving
the accident, and in the improbable case that she did
survive she would require a breathing ventilator for
the remainder of her life. In all likelihood, she will have
sustained significant permanent brain damage. The year
was 2003.
Flash forward 12 years later, and again Woolens finds
herself at a crossroads – only this one will involve tears
of joy. On May 9 the now 22-year-old received an
undergraduate degree in political science. It also marks
a turning point in her life, when she moves away from
the protective care of her mother and onto a more
independent stage of her life.
“I’m scared and nervous, but at the same time I am
really looking forward to this next segment of my life,”
said Woolens, who is currently in the process of putting
together all the complicated pieces for a move later this
year to Baton Rouge, where she hopes to attend law
school. “It’s something I feel I have to do, and I’m ready for
it.”
The change of venue will certainly be challenging
for Woolens, who is still wheelchair bound and has
limited use of her hands and arms, but it’s no more
insurmountable than the challenges she has faced in the
past.
In 2003 the odds were heavily stacked against her.
Following the accident, she spent two months in the
hospital. But she had survived. Even more remarkably,
two weeks before she was released, doctors removed the
ventilator from her tracheotomy.
Even when Woolens returned home, the jury was still
out on the extent of her brain injury and her powers
of recuperation. Unable to perform even the most
rudimentary functions on her own, she had to learn to do
everything all over again, and required constant roundthe-clock care. [She would not learn to write again until
junior high school – still a mean feat considering that to
this day her fingers do not move].
Nevertheless, she began
home-schooling only
two weeks after leaving
the hospital, and within
months was back at
school. Despite missing
a complete semester –
and, erroneously, having
been placed in Special
Education courses initially
– she passed sixth grade
with the rest of her class.
Despite her lingering physical limitations, Woolens went
on to high school at Grace King where she served as
an inspiration to her classmates. There she posted a 3.4
grade point average, and was named “Ms. Grace King” –
an honor given for academic and leadership voted on by
the school’s faculty and staff.
That stellar work earned her a scholarship to attend
Xavier, where she found herself mainly focused on her
schoolwork, although she did – with some difficulty –
find ways to help others “less fortunate” than she.
“It’s hard to volunteer for community projects when
you can’t drive and your mobility is limited,” reflected
Woolens. “But I have enjoyed those opportunities that I
have had to help displaced families and to participate in
soup and jacket drives near the New Orleans Mission.”
Having finished her college coursework this past
December, Woolens is still hitting the books hard –
preparing for the LSAT exam.
It was in high school that Woolens got the first inclination
that she would like to go into law, but, as she noted, “I
have always loved to argue.” She hopes to focus on civil
law, particularly in the areas of disability and general
discrimination.
She admits to being somewhat inspired by the
proceedings in her own law case, which dates back to the
accident. The constant interaction with lawyers has given
her a deeper appreciation of the justice system and has

Alumni Spotlight... continued
New Era of Class:
Kristine Pichon ‘99
Continued from page 17
cultural influences, she decided to
bring her knowledge of fashion back
home while maintaining her NYC
contacts. Losing everything when
Hurricane Katrina totally flooded her
Gentilly home in 2005 only filled her
with a resolve to be an active part of
the rebuilding of her hometown.
By working exclusively with local shops,
offering private patrons one-of-kind,
custom designs, and by donating her
unique artistic purses to many charities
and auctions to raise money for special
causes, Pichon gradually developed a
formidable reputation as a “must see”
local designer. Her trademarks were
originality, attention to detail, and a
passion for each and every individual
creation.
That growing reputation relied mostly
on her internet presence and wordof-mouth until 2013, when she was
asked to present at an exclusive
brunch fashion show sponsored
by the Pontchartrain Chapter of
Links Incorporated. Her “Mini Resort
Collection” was such a hit that she
was later invited to present at the
Champion of Change luncheon and
fashion show hosted by the Crescent
City Chapter of Links.
Then came the invite from NOLA
Fashion Week, where she respectfully
declined the opportunity to be
designated a “Featured Designer” at the
show, opting instead to present in the
competitive “Top Designer” category.
Her “Chic Fall Sunset” collection drew
raves.
“I wanted to be judged,” she said. “I
wanted to put my creations up against
the best and see how they measured
up.” Pretty well it would seem.
Pichon defines calls her own personal
style as the “New Era of Class,” which
she describes as “a modern take on the
way women used dressed in the 1950’s”
when “everyone made an effort to look
gorgeous, almost like a Barbie Doll.”
“In contrast, most women today don’t
know how to dress, they’ll just put on
anything,” she said. “I want them to
show them how to dress so that they
can feel like the beautiful and unique
individuals they are.”
Overcoming the Odds:
Felecia Woolens Continued from page 41
afforded her a unique perspective
that others couldn’t possibly have.
Some would call that making the
best of the situation.
“I know it’s been tough on Felecia
because she has to rely on others,
particularly her mother, to do
even the most simple things that
most of us take for granted,” said
Dr. Pamela Waldron-Moore, one of
her professors in the Department
of Political Science. “In spite of the
almost overwhelming medical
complications she has had to endure,
she continues to amaze me with the
way she has learned to explore the
positives in her life. She has become
very dear to me over the past four
years.”
Her doctors would tend to agree. To
this day, they remain perplexed how
“normal” a life she has been able to
lead. And she’s just getting started.

Xavier University of Louisiana 40 Under 40
Inaugural 2014 Class
The inaugural 40 under 40 Awards Ceremony was celebrated
on Friday, November 21 during Homecoming 2014. The
University Center Ballroom was a sea of gold as the sounds
of the Soul Rebels Brass Band greeted over 400 Xavier
alumni and friends. Dr. Norman Francis ‘52 greeted each
of the 40 under 40 award recipients at a private reception
prior to the event. Dr. Katrice Albert ’94, Vice President for
Equity and Diversity at the University of Minnesota provided
the participants with inspiring words of wisdom.
Included among the Class of 2014 are nationally prominent
educators, music industry innovators, an Emmy nominated
journalist, international research scientists, and prominent
healthcare professionals. These recipients, who were
selected from nearly 300 applicants, have demonstrated
entertainment, healthcare, sciences, education, law,
business, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, public service,
and government.
but these 40 are special because they have achieved so
much so early,” said Kimberly Reese ‘95, Director of Alumni
Affairs. “This celebration recognizes their hard work and
dedication as well as their outstanding accomplishments,
which will inspire Xavier students and graduates for years
to come.”
Xavier created the Forty Under Forty program to identify
and engage high-achieving young alumni who are well
positioned to serve as advocates and ambassadors for
the university, and who have demonstrated a commitment
to promoting the university’s mission. The selection
committee included a panel of alumni, university personnel
and industry leaders.
“The 40 honorees are people to watch. With so many
accomplishments realized in such a short time, we are
excited to track their careers into the future,” said Crystal
Moore, class of 2007 and co-chair of the event. “It is
our pleasure to create a celebration to recognize these
outstanding alumni and provide a forum for them to meet
and engage with one another.”
The 2015 40 under 40 Awards Celebration is scheduled
for Friday, Nov. 20 during Homecoming 2015. Tichets may
be purchased online starting in September at

JIMMIE WICKHAM ‘61 has been living the Golden Rule through her service in the
Peace Corps, her teaching career and her community volunteer service. Born and raised
in McAlester, OK, she was inspired by her mother, Pearl, who was a school teacher, to
spend her life creating change. Her father, Dr. Charles Wickham, died the year after
she was born. Jimmie chose to attend Xavier University in New
Orleans, the birth place of her father. She graduated from Xavier
in 1961.
While attending a homecoming event a few years ago, a friend told
her about the benefits of the Charitable Gift Annuity.
“This provides income for me for the rest of my life, and will
continue the support of Xavier after my death. That’s a win/win for
both Xavier and me.”
By establishing the ($20,000) Wickham Charitable Gift Annuity,
she has ensured her legacy will live on after she is gone and will
continue to help future generations of Xavier Students. She sees this
as an important tool for estate planning and encourages others to
consider this option.
