We’ve launched just 450 to 550 students per year over the past 35 years, and we are overrepresented in societal leadership—local, national, and global—because of the quality of our education and the quality of our student body.
\n\nBut Mary Schapiro didn’t major in being the SEC chair; she majored in anthropology. Richard Plepler didn’t major in HBO; he majored in government. Wanda Austin didn’t major in space defense; she majored in math. These leaders pursued here a transformational education with an institution that involved them in intensive learning, and with that they’ve had a disproportionate impact on our nation and the world.
\n\nThis liberal arts tradition of education is more relevant today than ever. As others turn to mass education in the form of MOOCs, larger lectures, and online courses, students with the ability to ask penetrating questions, think critically, conduct research, solve complex problems, communicate, and work in fast-paced, multicultural settings will be best positioned.
\n\nWe are enmeshed in a volatile global knowledge economy defined by lightning-fast changes in technology, compensation, job types, skill sets and work locations. For our nation and our world to advance, we need citizens who possess intellectual agility, science competency, language skills, ease with diversity, and the flexibility to work in new ways—skills best forged in the crucible of a place-based, individualized liberal arts education. We need to develop—through education—those women and men able to make and shape change in every field, from healthcare to national security, from economic development to engineering, and from public policy to education itself.
\n\nOur students pursue at F&M a transformational education that will empower them to tackle the great challenges facing our nation and world. With their talent and an F&M education at their back, they will succeed.

\n\nInvestment in an innovative model
\n\nSince its founding, OSPGD has been an innovator in meeting the needs of students and alumni, Throne said. Whereas traditional career services assign students a post-graduate advisor in their senior year, F&M students now have access to an advisor as early as they would like. The office also engages alumni and parents to provide professional guidance to students and their fellow alums.
\n\n"Before OSPGD, only about 20 percent of F&M students interacted with career services," Throne said. "Last year, nearly 75 percent of students went to a workshop, engaged online services or met with an advisor.”
\n\nIn the Harwood Commons, the office will be better able to respond to the needs of today’s students. For Harwood, this provides opportunities for his fellow alumni and friends of F&M to add their support to the program.
\n\n"I would hope that they would see the need and offer their help to this great program," he said. "Whether through annual gifts, or endowments for specific areas, that would be wonderful."
\n\nAs part of the Harwood Commons project, the College plans to memorialize the Appel Infirmary and honor the many contributions of the Appel family to F&M's history. The infirmary was named by the Franklin & Marshall Board of Trustees in 1959 to recognize College Physician James Appel and the eight members of the Appel family who served the College as professors, presidents and trustees. Harwood's gift will renew the life of the aged building for future generations.
\n\nHarwood's commitment to OSPGD is the latest in a series of gifts supporting F&M. In 2012 he provided seed funding for the Harwood Leadership Seminars for F&M sophomores. The seminars allow a group of 12 varsity athletes and 12 student leaders in other areas to participate in a series of workshops exploring dimensions of leadership such as team building, self-discipline, accountability and resilience.
\n\nHe also has supported the Roschel Performing Arts Center -- where a terrace is named in his honor -- and the Klehr Center for Jewish Life. His philanthropy beyond F&M extends to the Jersey City Medical Center, the Jewish Home and rehab center, his synagogue and other causes. He is also on the board of Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
\n\nHarwood also contributes to F&M as a member of the board of trustees, where he was first elected in 2008 and currently serves on the board’s Academic Affairs Committee, Enrollment Committee, and Building, Grounds and Sustainability Committee. He is a past member of the College’s Leadership Council, and has served as a Reunion Volunteer, Admission Volunteer and on the President’s Regional Advisory Council. He belongs to the College's John Marshall Society, William A. Schnader Society and Founder's Society, all recognizing loyalty in investing in and contributing to the College and its mission.
\n\nHarwood believes a strong liberal arts education provides a strong foundation for any life pursuits, he said.
\n\n"One critical mission should be to assist students along life's path," Harwood said. "Preparing for life beyond college is more than a catch phrase, it's a mandate."

As explorers began finding passages that connected the caves, two spelunkers discovered a slot in a Mammoth Cave wall. They wriggled through the narrow opening into a large passage with a river. They later had trouble finding the slot they had stumbled upon.

As explorers began finding passages that connected the caves, two spelunkers discovered a slot in a Mammoth Cave wall. They wriggled through the narrow opening into a large passage with a river. They later had trouble finding the slot they had stumbled upon. It remained a mystery until the early 1980s, when a University of Kentucky researcher conducted a dye-tracing test in a sinkhole expecting the water to flow in an easterly direction. Instead, it flowed west toward the Green River.
\n\nSometime around 2008, one of the original spelunkers contacted Bechtel and asked him to search anew for the Lost River. Bechtel was quick to agree, noting the historical and scientific significance of the waterway.
\n\n“It’s a piece of the history of cave exploration that has stayed a mystery more than 50 years now,” he said. “It’s also part of a scientific mystery concerning how the plumbing system in Mammoth Cave works.”
\n\nDuring an expedition last summer, Bechtel and geoscience major Leah Houser ’16 used a micro-gravity meter to take readings at five-foot intervals along the passage. The highly sensitive device, about the size of a toaster oven, can be used to locate voids beneath the surface, in this case a tunnel carved into rock by fast-moving water. Houser is analyzing the data in one of F&M’s Hackman laboratories to determine where, beneath the passage, the river might flow.
\n\n“There are places where you have to climb and other places where you have to wriggle on your belly, and so we had the micro-gravity meter on a sled, gently pushing it along,” Bechtel said.
\n\nIf their data provides a clue to the Lost River’s location, Bechtel and Houser said they would return to the cave passage and continue their search.
\n\n“If we find a gravity-low in an appropriate spot, then we have to get in there and have people wiggle in every possible little crack,” Bechtel said.

Assistant Professor of Biology Pablo Jenik said his project, "Characterization of novel repressors of the embryonic maturation program in Arabidopsis," would examine the mechanisms the seeds use to accumulate nutrients that the seedling will utilize after germination, seed maturation. He begins the research this summer with the aid of F&M sophomores MinJun Feng and Jeremy Levine.
Improved knowledge of the maturation of seeds could eventually lead to improving the nutritional value of crops, Jenik said. The researchers will focus on what are known as the ASIL genes, which the professor said are good candidates for regulating the process of maturation in Arabidopsis.
Specifically, the grant from the National Institute of General Medical Science will allow Jenik and his research team to conduct experiments on normal seeds and seeds with genetic mutations, and then compare the development of the two seed groups.
