Younger, Ph.D., Professor, English, ASN Chapter Faculty Advisor 2014 Honorary Inductees Dr. Bryant Keith Alexander is Dean, College of Communication and Fine Arts at LMU and Professor of Communication and Performance Studies. He is an active scholar, lecturer and performer with nearly 100 publications in leading journals and book chapters with forthcoming essays on the politics of hair, queer theory, bodies and social difference, and globalizing intercultural communication. His research circulates around commitments to diversity and plurality in the identity categories of race; culture; gender and sexuality; performances of masculinity; culture and pedagogy as evidenced in his three published books: Performance Theories in Education: Power, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Identity, Performing Black Masculinity: Race, Culture, and Queer Identity, and The Performative Sustainability of Race: Reflections on Black Culture and the Politics of Identity. Alexander serves on the Advisory Board of LA’s Best, Afterschool Program and has been a consistent facilitator at the California Diversity Forum committed to encouraging the increase of underrepresented populations in graduate programs in California. Alexander’s administrative, teaching, and scholarly life celebrates integrative and interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge. He sees administration, teaching and scholarship as informing practices of academic professionalism and student success. Bishop Gordon D. Bennett, S.J. D.D., was born on October 21, 1946 in Denver. He was educated at Mount St. Michael’s in Spokane, Washington, Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Loyola University in Los Angeles (later Loyola Marymount University), the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, California, Loyola Marymount University (for graduate studies after his undergraduate work at Loyola), and Fordham University in New York City for the Professional Diploma in Administration and Supervision. Most Rev. Gordon Bennett was ordained a priest in 1975. On March 3, 1998, he was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore. Bennett assumed his duties as Bishop of Mandeville, Jamaica on September 24, 2004. Later he also served with distinction as the President of Loyola High School, Los Angeles, California. Bishop Bennett has rich experience in education, administration and spiritual formation. He has been a High School Campus Minister, as well as Rector and Master of Novices at the Jesuit Novitiate in Southern California, and Principal and more recently President of Loyola High School, one of the largest Jesuit High Schools in the United States. 2014 induction ceremony | 3 Bishop Bennett has established an outstanding reputation as a Preacher of Spiritual Retreats to clergy, religious and laity. He has received the Irma Brown Dillon Community Service Award, which honors leaders who exemplify LMU’s mission and tradition of serving others. Bishop Bennett retired as Bishop of Mandeville in 2008 and is currently the Peter Faber Fellow in Pastoral Theology and Ignatian Spirituality at LMU. Ms. Pam Rector, the Founder and Director of the Center for Service and Action at Loyola Marymount University, is a lifelong advocate for social justice with special interest in immigration reform, educational equity for all, and working toward a justice system focused more on rehabilitation than retribution. Her work in the Lennox School District for 17 years and her work with a wide variety of organizations and schools during the last 15 years at LMU keep her energized for collaboration with community partners and LMU colleagues. As the Co-Founder of the El Espejo program, she is committed to developing college readiness programs. She is currently a board member and has served on several boards including St. Margaret’s Center, Lennox Math Science and Technology Academy, Greet Dot Public Schools, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, the Ignatian Volunteer Corp, the Center for Ignatian Spirituality and she served as member and President of the National Alumni Association for LMU. Pam holds a B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Counseling and a M.Ed. in Educational Administration, all from Loyola Marymount University. Past honors include LMU Educator of the Year, LMU Alumni of the Year for Community Service and the Ignatian Volunteer Corps Madonna Della Strada Award. Pam’s daughter Grace and extended family make for a life filled with joy. Ms. Kathy Reed is the University Registrar who reports to the Vice President of Enrollment Management and is responsible for protecting the integrity of the university’s academic regulations. The University Registrar oversees the management and maintenance of student records and directs and coordinates university registration activities, produces the university bulletin and schedule of classes, publishes the academic calendar, and directs commencement activities. Kathy Reed came to Loyola Marymount University as Graduation Coordinator in 1982. Since that time she has served the university as Assistant University Registrar, Associate and Senior Associate University Registrar, and most recently as University Registrar. Reed is an alumna of Loyola Marymount University, having received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a Master of Education degree in Reading. While receiving her master’s degree, Reed earned an Elementary Education Teaching Credential and the Reading Specialist Credential. Prior to her return to Loyola Marymount University, Reed spent several years as an educator at elementary, middle, and adult schools in the Southern California area. Reed 4 | loyola marymount university alpha sigma nu is an active member of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO), the Pacific Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (PACRAO), serves as the West Coast representative on the Banner Student Advisory Board for SunGardHE Community Source Initiative, and is chairperson for the Enrollment Management Technology Team. Dr. Brian Treanor is currently Professor of Philosophy, Taylor Chair of Philosophy, and Director of Environmental Studies at Loyola Marymount University. He received his Ph.D. at Boston College studying under Richard Kearney and Jacques Taminiaux. Prof. Treanor’s research covers a wide variety of issues from a broadly hermeneutic perspective, focusing on the way in which philosophy can tap into the “surplus of meaning” in texts and, by extension, other phenomena that solicit or require interpretation. His work has touched on virtue, hope, faith, God, risk, place, the natural world, personal identity, embodiment, and other subjects. Published widely in journals and edited volumes, his book-length scholarship includes authoring Emplotting Virtue (SUNY 2014) and Aspects of Alterity (Fordham 2006) as well as editing Interpreting Nature (Fordham 2013) and A Passion for the Possible (Fordham 2010). He is currently finishing work on two additional edited collections—Being in Creation (Fordham 2015) and Carnal Hermeneutics (Fordham 2015)—and is working on a monograph on the topic of joy as it is related to carnal embodiment and the material world. Treanor is a native of California, though he has traveled widely on six continents and lived abroad in Europe and Asia. He lives near LMU with his wife, Gitty, and daughters Darya and Ciara, with whom he shares his love of poetry, theater, climbing, skiing, camping, and myriad other pursuits. 2014 induction ceremony | 5 2014 Inductees BELLARMINE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS Alyssa Catlin Loomer Carmen Marina Abella Jessica-Mae Novicio Mejia Katherine Rose Altobello-Czescik Kayla Lu Fuki Mikasa Julia Rose Ayeroff Caisen Mirassou Alexander John Baptiste Joseph Montoya Loana C.
