Dean's To Our Readers, L .is academic year finds the College of Liberal Arts advancing in important and exciting directions. Cal Poly's new mission statement Qanuary 2007) calls for "a balanced education in the arts, sciences and technology" and the university's accompanying values statement underscores our college's role in this process: As a polytechnic university with a strong emphasis on the liberal arts and interdisciplinary studies, Cal Poly exemplifies the new liberal education and embraces the pursuit of learning outcomes that prepare students for careers and citizenship (December 2007). I would like to reflect briefly on just what is meant by "the new liberal education" and how, within this context, the role of our college can be seen as central to Cal Poly's polytechnic mission. As I see it, our role at a premier polytechnic institution like Cal Poly in the 21st century is two-fold. At their core, our programs function as such programs function at any other firsvrate university: They supply the essential elements educated men and women require to enter fully into the worlds of life, work and civic responsibility that await them. For example, the humanities at Cal Poly provide for the same continuities of knowledge and the habits of mind and critical inquiry that inform all well-educated people who have a secure grounding in literature, philosophy, language and culture. At the same time, however, the College of Liberal Arts at Cal Poly has the wider and somewhat uncommon opportunity to collaborate with multiple polytechnic disciplines. This could result, to a greater degree than has traditionally been the case, in our graduates receiving the kind of rich interdisciplinary education that will prepare them for the many challenges lying ahead as they emerge as conscientious citizens of our nation and insightful members of the global community. This issue of the CLA Magazine explores one way in which our college community is embracing this model through the interdisciplinary efforts that have begun to blossom in China, a new and exciting prospect for us. The potential for genuinely meaningful collaboration of this kind is particularly strong at this most impressive "moment" in our history. Students and faculty in all of our college's disciplines are at the top of their game, and we are energized and eager to move forward on the amazing journey that awaits us. • ~~-~~ Linda H. Halisky Dean West Meets East 4 West Meets East Stud ents who enroll in classical engineering studies-but who also have academic and profess ional interests in the arts and culture- can pursue a focused interdisciplinary technical program that includ es specializations in the study of sound and music, theater, public policy, interactive design, and intercultural communication required fo r a variety of innovative careers in education, community development, commerce and the arts. "The LAES program prepares students for key positions in edu catio n, government and industry that require a deep knowledge of the histories and day-to-day practicalities of working with technology and the impact that technology can have when solving a wide range of cultural problems," says David Gillette, Cal Poly professor of English and one of two co-chairs coordinating the program. The interactive media installation that LAES students wo rked on this spring-Intimate Transactionswas part of an Olympics-sponsored new-media arts show that ran fro m mid-June until the start of the Summer Olympics in August. It was a 10-day shared effort with the National Art Museum of C hina, the Beijing Art Museum of the Imperial Palace and the Transmute Collective, an artists' collaborative based in Brisbane, Australia. The Cal Poly installation was directly connected to partner installations in Beijing. Together the installatio ns enabled two an onymous persons in separate locations to interact with each other in an immersive electronic environment. Each individual climbed aboard a "Body Shelf' that tracked their movements as they "traveled" together through a beautiful virtual environment of light, inside a complex surround-sound system comprising eight large speakers and small wearable speakers that sent sound vibrations directly into their bodies. For the first four hours of every show opening in June, the Intimate Transactions installation at Cal Poly allowed visito rs at the university to connect with museum visitors in Beijing for a series of live interactions mediated through the sights and sounds of the system. In C hina, crowds of people lined up to take part in this rare opportunity to interact live and through the Internet with average Americans. The entire new-medi a arts show in Beijing included participant art wo rks from nearly every country worldwide, but the LAES program's Intimate Transactions provided the show's only open, direct and free-fo rm link between Beijing and the United States. As soon as word spread through Beijing audiences of this unusual chance to freely connect to U.S . participants, the lines for the Beijing side of the show swelled, Gillete recalls. "Literally thousands of people stood in line each morning in hopes of having a chance to interact with the Cal Poly participants," he says. "In the few hours that the LAES program was connected to Beijing each day, 40 to 50 lucky participants tried out this connection to the United States while hundreds of others looked on. The experience was groundbreaking and gave our students a sense of what it means to be part of a truly global collaborative experience.

Students earned seven units of GRC credit toward their degree requirements while exploring the printing industry and the culture of C hina. During their stay, the group had an opportunity to interact with employers, students and faculty members in the graphic communicatio n industry, visiting two universities and 16 companies and learning about China's extensive printing history, from carving on tortoise shells, to the inve ntion of paper in 104 C. E., to the invention of woodblocks and , later, the first moveable type. Large institutions such as Beijing Founder Electronics, the Beijing Institute of Graphic Communications, and Shanghai Zidan Printing Co. and smaller print companies such as Artron and the Rong Boo Zhai Printing shop opened their doors to these curious visitors. "The graphics arts industry in C hina has changed so much, " observes Xiaoying Rong, GRC assistant professor. "The technology and equipment used in China are close to what we see here in the States, but C hina is still a labor-intensive country. Many processes in daily manufacturing are still done manually." The Cal Poly group also climbed the G reat Wall, watched acrobats and a kung fu demonstration, received blessings from the lead monk at a Buddhist temple, and much more. They took notes and pictures and, as a fin al project for the field trip, created a magazine documenting all they had experienced and learned abo ut China's history and their firsthand look at China's future. GRC professors Penny Bennett and Rong led the international experience. Rong is originally from C hina and Bennett has experience hosting and mentoring Chinese professors who have come to Cal Poly to teach in the GRC Department. The field trip was a valuable learning experience for both professors and students, particularly because the graphic communication industry continues to have a strong global influence. "China has a long printing history and has evolved into a 21st-century international presence with its innovative printing technologies and practices," says Bennett. "The lessons learned in China will never be found in a textbook. Our trip was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students that exemplifies C al Poly's learn-by-doing philosophy." 6 West Meets East Cal Poly Joins the U.S. Strategic Alliance for Sustainability Innovation in China '1\mong the greatest challenges facing humanity at the dawn of the 21st century is learning to better meet human needs 'ng and nurturing the support systems. " William C. C lark John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University Political Science Professor Shanrou "Ning" Zhang, who teaches modern Chinese politics, is taking William Clark's challenge to heart. Zhang, along with a core team of Cal Poly professors- Linda Vanasupa (ENGR), Adrienne Greve (ARCH), Lars Tomanek (COSAM) and Neal McDougall (AGR)-are collaborating with research professors from Stanford University and Yale University and practitioners from China's Tongji University to design a prototype model of a fully functioning, sustainable rural community on Chongming Island near Shanghai, China. Chongming Island has been designated by the Chinese government as an "eco" island. The government is hoping to use the new research program as an example of sustainability for the entire nation. "The 7 West Meets East Cal Poly Initiates Chinese Language Studies chinese is the language of nearly one-quarter of the world's population. Speakers of C hinese not only live in C hina, Taiwan and Singapore, but are also found throughout Southeast Asia, the Americas and Europe. Because the C hinese today have been playing increasingly important roles wo rldwide- C hina is one of the major world powers and an engine behind the world economy-literacy in C hinese is a highly advantageo us skill. Statistics show that of all foreign languages at American universiti es and colleges, C hinese has had the highest proportional increase in enrollment. If the present is any indication , C hinese will continue to be a very important language in the future. In recognition of Cal Poly's increas ing ties with programs in C hina, the provost and the C LA dean's office supported the creation of a full-time lecturer position in C hinese. Starting this fall, the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures has invited Huei-Yu "Sophia" Chen to develop a C hinese program that teaches C hinese language and culture courses at both the elementary and intermediate levels. "My aim is to help students develop communicative competence in the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing the C hinese language," says C hen . "While linguistic aspects of the C hinese language are the primary focus, an introduction to the social and cultural background of the language also forms an important part of my courses." By using technology and focusing on communication, C hen's students will learn C hinese language and culture in a variety of new ways. "Learning a language is not just learnin g grammar and vocabulary but also learning new ways of seeing, acting in another culture and knowing a new co mmunity from the inside. Students from all majo rs can benefit," says C hen . "A technician , engineer or C EO who knows C hinese language and culture can work successfully with many more people and in many more places than someone who knows only English." C hen adds, "I have been at Cal Poly for only a sho rt time, but I have seen strong interest in learning C hinese language and culture from my students, whether or not their heritage language is C hinese. I look forward to an exciting new academic year at Cal Poly, and hope to see many stud ents, faculty and staff at the Chinese New Year event scheduled for the end ofJ anuary 2009."

Her teaching is enriched by her two longterm research projects on the college experiences of C hinese and Japa nese women and o n C hinese wo men's interest in calligraphy. For the first project (begun in 1994), women were surveyed and interviewed on the factors that enabled them to enroll in college, their experience of college life and their future expectations in the areas of work and fam ily. To date 660 surveys and interviews with Calligraphy entries on exhibit freshmen, sophomores, juniors and sen iors at universities in China and Japan have been collected. Women were surveyed or interviewed at a variety of colleges and universities, including students from a two-year all-women:s college in Xian, a technical college in Wuhan, and a university specializing in science and technology in Kunming. Respondents also included ~tud ents from teachers' colleges in Hanzhong, Xian, Harbin and Zhanjiang and four-year colleges with graduate programs in Xian, Cha ngc~ un, Ningbo and Lhasa. Preliminary findingJ have 'been presented at various conferences for discussio n on the lives of worpen in Asia.

"There are no contests specifically for women~ calligraphy anywhere else. This is an important recognition of these women as artists in a traditio n honored by their culture," says Mon . She presented a paper on the women who took part in the contests and their interest in calligraphy at the 6th International Conference of East Asian Calligraphy Education in Tai C hung, Taiwan, this past June. 9 Honored Alumni Roberts Rule as CLA Honored Alumni Every year at Homecoming the university recognizes an individual from each of the seven academic colleges. The HonoredAlumniAward was established almost40 years ago as the highest honor bestowed by the Alumni Association upon alumni who have achieved a high level of career success and influence stemming from their education at Cal Poly. The College of Liberal Arts is proud to announce Robert A. Mayhew (POLS ' 82) as our 2007 Honored Alumnus and Robert Tapella (GRC '91) as our 2008 Honored Alumnus. Robert A. Mayhew Mayhew is a champion of the college and has been a member and co-chair of the Dean's Council for more than 10 years. With co-chair Mary Crebassa (SCOM '79), he helped lead the board through a restructuring phase that created the current council, which focuses on collegewide incentives, and served as a member of the CLA Cap ital Campaign Committee. Most recently, the Mayhew family answered the call of the College of Liberal Arts' 1st Generation Scholarship Campaign with a four-year scholarship to help support students who are the first in their fami lies to attend college. This significa nt gift demonstrates the passion and commitment of the Mayhews' dedication to the college and to Cal Poly. Mayhew and his wife, Sherri, have three children and live in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he is vice president for DMB Associates Inc., a diversified real estate investment and development firm with holdings throughout the western United States.

Robert Mayhew, CLA 2007 Honored Alumnus Mayhew credits Cal Poly with providing him the opportunity to grow academically and personally. He says his most "educational" moments as a student came from his personal experiences with professors and fellow students in non-classroom settings. He was selected as a student delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1980, spent four months completing an internsh ip in a congress ional office in Washington, D.C., and participated in local campaigns on the Central Coast. "The entire college town environment and the approachable teaching staff made my tenure at Cal Poly a treasured experience," Mayhew recalls. "I am honored to receive the CLA Honored Alumnus Award and to give back to the college." 10 i 1, Honored Alumni Robert Topella Since 2007 Tapella has served as the chief executive officer of the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) in Washington, D.C. The position, also referred to as "public printer," is nominated by the president and confi rmed by the U.S. Senate. The first public printer was Benjamin Franklin. Grap hic Communication Professor Brian Lawler (GRC '76), the ClA 1996 Honored Alumnus and a friend ofTapella's, says, "Perhaps one day Robert's image will be on the $100 laser note!" Tapella oversees production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the federal government. Many of the country's most important information products, such as the Congressional Record and the Federal Register, are produced at the GPO's main plant, located five blocks from the U.S. Capitol. The 1.5 million-squarefoot complex is one of the largest information processing, printing and distribution facilities in the world. Tapella brings to the GPO a unique combination of skills that includes extensive legislative experience, as well as ed ucational and practical business backgrounds in graphic commun ication and printing management. Prior to his current position, Tapella served as the GPO's chief of staff and deputy chief of staff. From 1996 to 2000 he was also a professional staff member in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he supervised the Office of Member Services for the Committee on House Oversight, advising members of Congress in interpreting and applying the rules and regu lations of their offices.
