Not your
run-of-the-mill
graduates
607 receive diplomas at 167th commencement
“Our class is not your run-of-the-mill graduating

group of students,” Walker Cup recipient Matthew
J. Ehinger told his classmates during DePauw’s 167th
commencement on Sunday, May 21. “We have ac-
complished remarkable things during our tenure
here. It is now time to take that and show everyone
outside of DePauw University how remarkable a
group we truly are.”
A double major in political science and conflict studies, Ehinger was recognized as the senior
student judged to have contributed the most to the University during four years at DePauw. He
co-chaired the 2006 Putnam County Relay For Life, which raised more than $215,000 for the
American Cancer Society; interned with U.S. Senator Richard Lugar and at the headquarters
of Kiwanis International; coordinated the Indiana Reading Corps as a Bonner Scholar; chaired
Student Congress; and led a Winter Term in Service team of 25 students last year to Costa
Rica, where they refurbished a high school and built a community center.
DePauw awarded diplomas to 607 students, one of the largest graduating classes in recent
history. Evan Bayh, U.S. senator and two-term Indiana governor, delivered the commence-
ment address on the East College lawn, and he urged the graduates to commit themselves to
“renewing America’s greatness.” Matthew J. Ehinger

News of the University
“Those of you who are graduating today are graduating from a great institution of higher
learning – one of the greatest not only in the state of Indiana, but one of the greatest in the
United States of America,” Bayh said. “You are fortunate in that fact, and I am confident that
your time here at DePauw has prepared you to do not only well in the years that lie ahead in
a world that is demanding a higher level of knowledge and intelligence to prosper economi-
cally, but also to do some good with your life and to understand that your own well-being is
going to be defined by a whole lot more than just your narrow self-interest. This is the kind
of institution that I’m confident has instilled that in you. I wish we could instill that sense in
more Americans today.”
DePauw awarded honorary doctorates to Sen. Bayh and George H. Aldrich ’54. Aldrich has
served since 1981 as a judge on the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal, which was established
as part of the agreement resolving the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. His distinguished career has
Senator Evan Bayh included working with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in negotiating the peace agreement
in North Vietnam, drafting protocols to the Geneva Convention on the Laws of War in 1974,
and serving as a U.S. representative at the United Nations’ Law of the Sea Conferences from
1977 to 1981. In 1980 President Carter gave Aldrich the rank of Distinguished Senior Execu-
tive, the first State Department official so honored.
“When I sat in your place and was a graduate here 52 years ago, the memories of the Great
Depression and the second World War and the founding of the United Nations were fresh in
our minds,” Aldrich said. “On that day more than a half-century ago, the need to strengthen
the relatively primitive structure of international law and international institutions was, I think,
generally recognized. Today that is no longer the case.
“And we see, even in our own government, very different priorities that threaten our respect
for international law. I think today, just as half a century ago, our national security requires that
we comply with the international law we’ve helped to create, and that we make perceptive and
unrelenting efforts for the progressive development of that law and for improved compliance
with it by all states.” President Robert G.

Matt Walker to coach Tiger football team

for 2006 season
DePauw’s head football coach for the 2005 season, Tim Rogers, resigned effective June 15.
Matt Walker ’99, a six-year assistant coach for the Tigers and former starting quarterback, will
guide the team during the 2006 season.
Robby Long, who came to DePauw in 2004 after two seasons assisting the University of
Illinois football team, will serve as assistant head coach for the Black and Gold this coming
season. Long will continue to serve as the director of student-athlete recruiting.
“From a timing standpoint, this is very challenging, but I’m confident that our football Walker
program won’t miss a beat as it continues preparations for the 2006 season,” Page Cotton ’71,
director of athletics, said. “Matt Walker is, as a coach and alumnus, a strong asset to DePauw
Long and its athletic programs. With the assistance of Robby Long, I’m confident our players and
our program will be in very good hands.”
Walker also serves as DePauw’s head baseball coach and will continue in that capacity. He led
the 2001 Tigers to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference title and their first appearance
in the NCAA tournament in 22 years. He joined the DePauw staff as an assistant baseball coach
in the fall of 1999 and was named interim head baseball coach in mid-March 2000. Walker’s
teams have posted a 171-119 record in his seven seasons. His 171 victories already rank second
in school history, and his .590 winning percentage is top among all DePauw baseball coaches
with at least three years experience.
While a student, Walker was a three-year member of the DePauw football team, earned a
varsity letter during his senior season and was a starter at quarterback as well as a special teams
player. As a member of the DePauw baseball team, Walker set the single-season school record
with 79 strikeouts in 1999 on the way to winning 10 games, which stands as the second-
highest season total by a DePauw pitcher. Walker earned a master’s degree from Indiana State
University.
Long served as a graduate assistant on the defensive line for the Illini after earning three
varsity letters. He played on the 2001 Big Ten champion squad that finished with a 10-2 record
and competed in the 2002 Sugar Bowl. He also played on the squad that won the 1999 Micron
PC Bowl and finished with an 8-4 record. A native of Champaign, Ill., Long earned a bachelor
of science of applied life degree from the University of Illinois.
The Tigers posted a 7-2 record last year.

HH ePauw’s five-year strategic plan, Securing Our Legacy, includes a global vision that aims to
prepare DePauw students to make a positive difference in the diverse and interconnected world in
which they will live and work.
Although international students have enriched the DePauw community for more than a century, the
realities of today’s global village demand that the University redouble its efforts to attract international
students and faculty members. DePauw is already a national model for off-campus study opportunities
during a Winter Term, semester or year. Many students report these experiences to be life-changing.
In the following first-person articles, the importance of a renewed commitment to international
education is compellingly related by five members of the DePauw community: an alumna and trustee
with international credentials; a faculty member who is a leader for the international education initia-
tive on campus; an international student for whom DePauw is study abroad; an alumna whose study
experience in Freiburg, Germany, has had a lifelong impact; and a 2006 graduate who was inspired in
her career goals through off-campus study.

the value of international education. While the Open Doors 2005 report notes that 191,321 U.S.
students studied abroad during the 2003-04 academic year, it points out that 565,039 international
students studied in the United States during that period. The top four countries sending students
to the United States were India (80,466), China (62,523), Korea (53,358) and Japan (42,215).

followed by Italy and Spain.
In this context, DePauw’s new five-year strategic plan, Securing Our Legacy, rightly emphasizes
the need to expand our global perspective: “To broaden cultural perspectives and better prepare
our students for a complex and interrelated world, we will help more students study abroad and
increase the number of international students who enroll at DePauw.”
22 23
All of the university counselors stressed the need for DePauw to have an experienced interna-
tional recruiter in the admission office and an ongoing presence at international recruiting fairs
that take place in major sites across Asia. (The University this summer appointed a full-time
international admission officer.) According to international students at DePauw as well as the
university counselors I met in Asia, the international recruiter must stay in close touch with
international applicants and their families to answer their questions about life in the new culture
and details of our academic program. Both DePauw’s international students and the university
counselors noted the importance of financial aid to international applicants.
DePauw alumni, especially those living and working overseas, but also those in the United
States with international connections, can introduce the University to potential applicants and can
pass on contacts to our admission office. DePauw faculty members who travel internationally as
well as current international students can function in a similar way. We need to develop recruiting
materials specifically designed to address the questions and needs of international students, and
H
we need to adapt portions of DePauw’s Web site to those same goals.
As critical as these measures are to successfully recruit international students, preparations that
we make on campus are even more important for retaining them. The International Center will
have more demands made on its staff and facilities, as will the Office of Multicultural Affairs,
and will require additional support. Dining services will need to be sensitive to a wider range
of dietary needs and tastes, and the Office of Spiritual Life must be prepared to respond to the

One only has to ponder what it would mean not to further internationalize the DePauw experi-
ence at a time of rapid and ongoing globalization to appreciate the appropriateness of this course.
While Asia should not be our only focus, it is a logical starting point, given its demographics and
expanding economic clout; the need for cooperation with the nations of the region as we seek
to enhance global security; the contemporary cultural vibrancy of many parts of Asia as well as
their rich cultural legacies; and the numbers of qualified students eager to come to the United
States. We also must recognize our own knowledge deficit of that part of the world, which the
United States has struggled to correct for decades.
Recruiting and retaining large numbers of international students requires careful planning
and execution. With the support of Neal Abraham, executive vice president, vice president for
academic affairs and dean of the faculty, and in consultation with the staff of the International
Center and Asian studies faculty members, I made exploratory visits to nine international high
schools in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Taipei in January of 2005 and 2006. These schools

America is a scary place if you started out from home alone like I did. With one return ticket
in hand, my passport and two suitcases, I boarded the plane at the international airport in Bombay
with all the excitement of a deckhand walking the plank. I left behind a monsoon-drenched August
of crazy taxi drivers, screaming vegetable vendors, and an assortment of rag pickers, urchins and
pretend blind men, who deposited grimy thumbprints on the car windows as they came begging
for a few coins. Twenty-one thoroughly disorienting hours later, I stepped out into a dizzying
gridiron of steel, glass and concrete. I sat on the curb and cried for 40 minutes.
In retrospect, however, I realize that once you’ve made the decision to leave India to study for
a college degree, it all suddenly becomes just a plane ride. I had applied to two schools in India,
five in the United Kingdom, three in Canada and 10 in the United States. Indian students like
me who decide to leave the country traditionally apply to between 10 and 20 universities.
Applying to so many colleges abroad raises international students’ hopes of receiving financial
aid to buffer what they are spending on an international education. When I received my letter
from DePauw, which offered a very generous scholarship, my father made the decision for me.
Realistically, for most of us, it comes down to the best scholarship (especially for me, since I have
a younger brother and sister).
Because of the sheer number of people in India – 1.2 billion, projected to grow to 2 billion
by 2010 – more and more people are competing for jobs. A high school degree or even an un-
dergraduate education means little in India. In most cases, to apply for any well-respected job
with career-building potential, you have to be a graduate from an acclaimed M.B.A. program.
Editor’s note: State government funds most universities in India. However, the union government
funds a set of “central universities,” which attract the top students from all over the country. The private
sector has also aggressively emerged in higher education. Entrance to all institutions of higher learning
is extremely competitive.

grade. So while I did average at an Indian school, I excelled when I transferred to an international
school, receiving the second highest score in my school in the International Baccalaureate exams.
I looked forward to coming to an excellent college with a completely different approach than
what I would have received if I had gone to an Indian college.
DePauw’s style of education has done so much for me. Paired with the facts I have at the back
of my mind, I am cultivating a writing, speaking and communication process that makes for a
very intelligent and informed world perspective.

Similar to here, students in India have to contend with a massive amount of information.
However, at Indian schools and colleges, the mark of a student’s intelligence lies in his/her test-
taking skills. One hundred percent of a student’s grade over a year depends on a final exam that
is taken at the end of an academic year. The emphasis in high school and college education is,
therefore, memorization. The final exam quizzes a student in the most minute of details from
his/her booklist. Even more daunting are the I.I.T (Indian Institute of Technology) or I.I.M
(Indian Institute of Management) entrance exams, for which students in their final year of col-
lege cram for one, sometimes two years. A student aspiring to sit for these exams would be able
to ace any SAT II subject graduating from the 10th grade in high school. It is the equivalent of
memorizing every page of every book that I’ve ever read at DePauw over four years, and calling
it up from memory for one final exam at the end of my senior year.

THEN: Nancy, Carie and Lisa at the farewell dinner in Freiburg, Germany, 1980 do, wore the same pair of jeans for days. We sampled European food and beverages to our
hearts’ content and learned an immense amount about the history, politics and customs of
Western Europe. Perhaps even more importantly, we established friendships and a bond that
lasts to this day.
Studying abroad opened up my world. By the time I was 20 years old, I had lived in eight
states, but I had never been in another country where language and customs were different
than mine. I was forced to reach beyond my comfort zone, and my paradigm about the world,
especially regarding politics, changed during that semester.
I realized that Americans are viewed differently abroad than at home. I was amazed by the
relative youthfulness of America compared to the thousands of years of history in Europe. I
found that even though customs are different, basic needs of people are about the same. I found
an appreciation for other countries and people that I would never have found at home.
My one regret about my semester abroad was that I didn’t know more of the language. I
had taken only the minimum one semester of German that was required. The greatest learning
moments were with the local people – much more meaningful if you can communicate well
with them! I remember being so proud of myself when I went to a bakery and ordered a cake
for another student’s 21st birthday – all in German! And they understood me. I was elated!
A school-sponsored field trip took us to West Berlin. We had to travel through East Germany,
and I remember watching the soldiers with German shepherds inspecting the train when we
30 31
entered that country. Some of us bought a day pass to go to East Berlin, and we were shocked
at the contrast between East and West Berlin. West Berlin was modern and even had a Burger
King back then; East Berlin was stark and barren, and we had a hard time just finding a res-
taurant. When the Berlin Wall came down, I thought, “I’ve been there.”
I have not traveled abroad much since my junior year, but I know my experiences from
that semester taught me more than I ever could have learned in a textbook or classroom. I am
currently an elementary library media specialist, and just this school year, I shared my photos
from Holland and the Keukenhof, a famous tulip garden, with my students after reading a book
that was set in Holland during World War II. I shared my pictures of Rome and Auschwitz
via slideshow to my sixth graders who study Western European history (nothing like a naked
statue to send a whole room of sixth graders into giggles). I feel that sharing my experiences
helps students make a connection and makes these places more “real” to them.
Our son, Shawn O’Banion, Class of 2007, heard me talk so much about my Freiburg
experience that he chose to study abroad his junior year. The International Center assisted our
son in finding a program in Florence, Italy, where he spent a wonderful semester last fall. Our
daughter, who starts college next year, plans to minor in Spanish and wants to study abroad in
a Spanish-speaking country.
While DePauw is still strongly encouraging students to study abroad, I worry that the
$2,500 off-campus study fee will discourage some students. Studying abroad now requires
much more work on the part of students; for example, essays to both DePauw and the study
abroad company, and required visas. I hope that DePauw will continue to facilitate this process
in the future.
It’s really hard to put my finger on what makes study abroad so special. Certainly, it’s the
H
experience of new places and people. But for me, it was a lot about relationships with other
students on my trip. During the Freiburg alumni reunion in June, 14 members of our group
shared pictures, slides, memories – and a few German beers. What a blast we had. Those four
months were special to us all, and we wouldn’t trade them for the world.

Program in New York City. my answer. So I just tell them that I live to travel and I would do it all over again if I had the
chance.
H
I would do it again if it meant finding another city where I fit perfectly; if it meant traveling
cheap around Europe with only a duffel bag and four friends; and if it meant seeing the world
outside of the Midwest. I would study and live abroad again because that is what travel writers
do. Travel writers aspire to explore somewhere other than where they call home, and I want to
have that career. My junior year of study abroad solidified my career choice and made me even
more eager to begin the path toward becoming a travel writer.
I was attracted to DePauw’s study abroad program before I even made my college decision.
During a visit to campus, the program showed an impressive number of students who traveled
off campus, and it provided numerous options for foreign places to study. I decided to attend
DePauw with the intent to travel abroad one semester.
By my sophomore year, I was writing for the campus newspaper but felt this wasn’t helping
my career objective to work on a magazine. I needed an internship to know for sure what I was
getting myself into.
I also needed a change from the DePauw campus. A whole year off campus did not seem
that long, and it was manageable. Given my two majors, English writing and French, and my
career interest, I chose to spend my junior year in two programs: a New York Arts Program
that could provide an internship in journalism, and IES (formerly known as the Institute of
European Studies) in France, which would further my speaking and writing abilities.
I didn’t expect to fall in love with New York City. I had no idea the city would make me feel
more safe, normal and sane than I had ever felt before. The only expectation I had was to gain
experience in the magazine world with my internship at Saveur, a gastronomy magazine.
In my internship, I quickly realized it is hard to make yourself work with a subject in which
you have no interest. I was disappointed, because I wanted to work for a travel magazine but
Kyra Shapurji ’06 in Barcelona, Spain
instead wound up researching food festivals around the world and the history of koftas, a
Middle Eastern meatball. But the internship gave me hands-on experience with fact-checking
and research and even the chance to write a few clips for the “Agenda” column. Not many

undergraduate aspiring journalists can say they have already been published in a national
publication and performed jobs that graduates get paid to do.
In addition to my journalism internship, I picked up a second one that I was excited about.
I became an artist’s studio assistant on the days I wasn’t at Saveur. Through my art internship,
I learned what it takes to survive as a working freelance artist in a major city.
The city itself spoke to me with its many social opportunities – gallery visits in Chelsea,
small music shows in bars, and the various cultural neighborhoods of Chinatown and Little
Italy. There was no transition to make during my semester in New York City. I found a place

mine and not speaking the language made everything challenging from the start. I studied in
Nantes, which is located on the west coast two hours from Paris. A professor there told me it
was the coldest winter since 1973. Slowly but surely, my speaking abilities improved, and the
weather became warmer as I began to travel outside of Nantes.
This aspiring travel writer was given the chance of a lifetime to travel often. I was able to visit
five other countries besides France. In France, I visited the beaches of Normandy, the chateaux
of the Loire Valley and Nice on the Mediterranean coast. I felt at ease in the on-the-go mode
of traveling, eating peanut butter sandwiches and apples for two weeks and sleeping in hostels
where cleanliness was questionable. I saw the world at a fast pace and with eyes wide open. I

career objectives.
My off-campus studies in New York and France turned my DePauw experience into a
dynamic exploration of career objectives. I had hands-on experience with a national magazine,
discovered the city where I’m meant to live, spoke and wrote in a foreign language for five
months, traveled on more than 30 train trips through Europe and in all, reaffirmed my decision
to become a travel writer.
A talented travel writer should be able to persuade a reader to trade the comfort zone for the
unknown. I want to write to inspire someone to leave the habitual for the foreign and to travel
to the Alps, explore Buddhist temples in India, camp in the outback in Australia, or even to
take a domestic flight to one East Coast island I look forward to calling home someday – New
York City.
Ask me again if I would leave my family and friends for a whole year to feel the rush of
stepping onto new terrain, not knowing a single person and maybe not even the language. I
would say, “I’m already there.”

Alumni Reunion Weekend 2006

Los Angeles Alumni
Club members enjoy a
wine-tasting event
Twenty-four Los Angeles-area DePauw alumni – representing classes from
1953 through 2006 – gathered at Primitivo Wine Bistro in Venice Beach, Calif.,
on Thursday, June 29. In addition to enjoying conversation and reminiscing about
DePauw, alumni enjoyed wines from Spain and tapas on an outside patio.
The event highlighted recent efforts to increase activities coordinated by the
Los Angeles Alumni Club. Thanks to alumni volunteers, the club has added a
number of events, including a visit from the DePauw Chamber Orchestra in
January. The club has tentatively planned a visit in the fall by David A. Bohmer,
director of the Eugene S. Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media and director
of the Media Fellows Program at DePauw, as well as a Sunday brunch. Of course,
area alumni plan to continue to have the wildly successful Monon Bell telecast Varsity-letter athletes from the Class of 1956 were presented with

parties in Orange County and Los Angeles.
Anyone wishing to host an event or learn more about planned events

performance of "One" from A Chorus Line.
