Alaska By Boat, 100 Years Later Last July, 24 scientists, artists and naturalists boarded the 340-foot oceangoing vessel M/V Clipper Odyssey and embarked on an expedition, sponsored by Smith College, that took them across Alaska's waterways, past its glaciers and wildlife, and-perhaps most importantly-100 years into its past. Dubbed the Harriman Expedition Retraced, the journey followed the 9,000-mile route of the fabled 1899 Harriman Expedition, its members documenting and researching the ecological and cultural changes the region has undergone since Edward Henry Harriman first blazed the path. Like passengers on the original Harriman Expedition, members of the updated version were not along "simply for a vacation or a tourist trip," says Tom Litwin, director of the Clark Science Center and leader of the Harriman Expedition Retraced. "We had a definite mission, and each of the scholars had information to assess." When the Harriman Expedition set sail from Seattle over a century ago, the ship was loaded with 126 passengers and crew members. Harriman, a railroad tycoon who had organized and funded the voyage, was among them, along with his family. For the Harrimans, the expedition presented an opportunity to hunt bears and a chance to explore an exciting new frontier. Edward Harriman ensured that the voyage would be comfortable, housing his family and guests in luxurious cabins and providing a chef to prepare the ship's meals. But comfort wasn't Harriman's only concern. Determined to develop the socially and scientifically significant aspects of the trip, he invited aboard scientists, naturalists and artists, many among the most accomplished in their fields. They were provided with laboratories and space for specimen preservation and given the opportunity to examine the Alaskan environment for possible unique discoveries. For two months, the ship sailed about the Pacific, through the Prince William Sound, into the Bering Sea and across the Bering Strait to Siberia, making some 50 stops along the way. Passengers disembarked and spent days exploring Alaska's communities and wilderness. A few discoveries were uncovered on the trip, including a previously unknown fjord and a glacier. But the voyage's lasting value was the passengers' smaller discoveries and observations, including more than 100 trunks of specimens, 5,000 photographs and drawings, and enough data to fill 13 books. Last summer's researchers, armed with the knowledge of all the discoveries and data from the 1899 Harriman Expedition, were well-prepared to observe and record the changes Alaska has since undergone. The 2001 expedition team noted that in the past hundred years Alaska has seen a number of economic, ecological and social changes, some "very positive," Litwin says. For example, in 1899, "the native communities had been terribly disrupted due to impacts from Russian fur trading and other businesses. They were drawn into those businesses and their own cultures became scattered as a result." Now, native Alaskans are reclaiming their heritage and traditions, researchers noted. The Harriman Expedition Retraced assisted in repatriating several items that had been removed from a deserted native village in 1899. Six totem poles were returned to the people of Ketchikan, Alaska, that were taken from the Cape Fox village of Gaash during the original Harriman Expedition. For a century, the items had been displayed in a number of university museums, including Harvard and Cornell, as well as the Smithsonian. The Cape Fox community celebrated the return of the totem poles with a ceremony titled "100 Years of Healing," which marked not only the recovery of those important artifacts, but also a renewed interest in native songs, dances, and arts. In general, the last century has not been entirely kind to Alaska, according to the researchers. Forests there are disappearing. Heavy reliance on oil revenues has led to a lopsided economy, creating an increased need for Alaskan tourism, which subverts natives' efforts to reclaim their heritage. "It's a very complicated story, a whole mosaic of issues," Litwin says. To more fully explain the story, PBS
and Florentine Films are creating a feature-length production
about both the original Harriman Expedition and the Harriman
Expedition Retraced. The film, which will air nationally next
year on PBS, will be released with a number of accompanying educational
materials, including a CD-ROM, a teachers' guide emphasizing
the environmental studies aspect of the expedition and a book
compiled and edited by Litwin. Articles, maps, chronologies and
educational materials are also online at the Harriman Expedition
Retraced Web site, at www.pbs.org/harriman. In Japan, thousands of people flock to the country's Shinto shrines each year to inscribe their prayers and thoughts on placards in honor of those they have lost. The thoughts are then displayed for the public to view. Loosely based on that tradition, the Staff Council will coordinate "Cut From the Same Cloth," an exhibition that will feature the feelings, quotes and sketches written and drawn on pieces of cloth by Smith community members and campus visitors in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11 and their aftermath. The cloths will then be displayed as part of On the Fence: Public Art in Public Space, an initiative organized by the Smith College Museum of Art to adorn with artwork the construction fence surrounding the Fine Arts Center renovation project. Colorful strips of cloth, indelible markers and instructions will be available on campus at Neilson and all other libraries, the Gamut, at the parking garage, near student mailboxes, at Ainsworth Gym, at the Physical Plant and Human Resources offices, in College and Seelye halls, at the Alumnae House, in the Quad, and at the Fine Arts Center project fence. To participate, students, staff, faculty and campus guests are invited to write or draw their thoughts on the cloth using the markers, then take it to the fence -- in front of Neilson Library -- and tie it on in the designated exhibition space. In their expressions, participants are encouraged to focus on the themes "Anger and Fears," "Things We Share/Have in Common," "Hopes" and "Actions." "Cut From the Same Cloth" is the result of a compulsion by members of Staff Council to "do something" in response to the September 11 events, explains Ann Mayo, museum assistant and guard supervisor in the Museum of Art, who joined an ad hoc committee to form a Staff Council response. "As human beings are 'cut from the same cloth,' so will be the strips of cloth for the project," she says. After consulting with Joshua Miller, an associate professor in the School for Social Work and an authority on community response to collective trauma and disaster from a mental health perspective, the ad hoc committee decided to submit a proposal to On the Fence. The "Cut From the Same Cloth" collage, which will be on display through Monday, October 22, will be the second exhibit of On the Fence, which will run until the completion of the Fine Arts Center in early 2003, when the fence will be dismantled. The Future of Education Is Here Inviting a guest lecturer to be beamed into a room on campus from hundreds of miles away to address a class may sound like the stuff of "Star Trek" -- a scene from science fiction in which people can traverse multiple time zones at the push of a button. But thanks to Smith's new interactive networked classroom technology, that scenario is here and now, and a lecturer need no longer be physically present to deliver a talk. Last year, each of the five area colleges purchased equipment that enables them to develop interactive networked classrooms that can connect their students to professors, lecturers and other students in remote locations. By late April, each college "had installed one classroom equipped for the interactive exchange of text, video and sound with one another and with sites around the world," says a Five College press release. Smith's interactive networked classroom, located in Media Services room C114 in the Alumnae Gymnasium, is equipped with several cameras, three monitors, microphones, a document camera, VCR, computer and a video screen control panel that allows for remote control of the cameras and peripheral equipment. The video conferencing equipment, collectively called the Tandberg Educator2, can simultaneously project "the remote class, the teacher, your own class or even a document or a computer," says Linda Ahern, senior programmer and analyst in Information Technology Services (ITS). Multiple remote sites can connect to that projected presentation, all at the same time, Ahern adds. "Here in the Five Colleges, we've connected four sites together at one time," she notes. The five colleges hope to use the technology to offer opportunities for collaborative teaching and to share courses that are not available at every college. "There is a strong interest in the Five College language department being able to reach out to Five College students [to enable them] to take some of the languages that are not supported on each campus," Ahern says. At Smith, several creative uses for the equipment are in the works. The School for Social Work hopes to use the interactive networked classrooms to communicate with students participating in off-campus internships, for example. "This will be a way of checking in to the home campus during the internship," Ahern explains. And faculty members involved in the college's study-abroad program in Florence plan to connect prospective JYA students with those already studying in Italy, who can provide a uniquely informed perspective on the program. For now, however, faculty and staff are still learning how to operate and use the equipment effectively, Ahern says. This past summer, Five Colleges, Inc. received a $50,000 grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation to launch a faculty training program. It held a three-day workshop in July that gave participants hands-on experience in using the interactive networked classrooms and in designing sample teaching projects to use there. Faculty members who attended the workshop are excited about the options made available by the equipment, Ahern says. And while the day has not yet arrived when virtual communication will supplant real human interaction, the networked classrooms undeniably provide a glimpse of the future of education. Leadership Program Seeks Students This January, for the tenth straight year, some 25 students will take over the second floor of Seelye Hall and learn to become leaders and effect positive change in their communities after college. The students are women who are committed to honing their leadership skills by participating in the Smith Leadership Program. For the last two weeks of two Interterms, they work together in groups led by faculty members and professionals in a variety of workshops, developing an understanding of group dynamics, improving their oral presentation skills, learning negotiation tactics, practicing techniques to manage conflict and sharpening their ability to manage resources while addressing real community problems. During its two Interterm sessions the Smith Leadership Program, directed by Randy Bartlett, professor of economics, provides nearly 160 hours of leadership training. During the summer between the January sessions, each participant has an opportunity to put her learning to work in an internship (in addition to Praxis) with an organization that meets her particular interests. Past participants have held internships at the National Institutes of Health, at the White House, and in homeless shelters, art museums, newspapers, law offices and advertising agencies throughout the country. They have worked in businesses of all types, in governments at all levels, and for a variety of nonprofit organizations. In each, says Bartlett, they have found opportunities to learn about effective leadership. "Every Smith graduate will, at some point in her life, reach a juncture where she can make a difference in her community by moving a group of people to act on some important issue," he says. "The regular curriculum develops some of the talents she will need to succeed at that, but not all. The Leadership Program adds the practical skills of leadership to the intellectual development of the regular liberal arts curriculum." Two informational meetings about the program and application process are scheduled for Monday, October 15, at 4:30 p.m., and Thursday, October 18, at 7 p.m., both in Seelye 308. Bartlett emphasizes that the Smith Leadership Program is available to any student who will be at Smith for at least two more Interterms. But it applies most directly to "people who want to make a big impact in their communities," he says, such as through work with a nonprofit agency, a social organization or a community-oriented corporation. "Student leaders often participate." Students interested in participating in the Smith Leadership Program should attend one of the scheduled information meetings.
