New green complex at Lake Shore Campus


On the south side of the Lake


Shore Campus, plans are under way for a new Institute for Sustainable Urban Living and Learning. This complex will include Wright Hall— the former BVM residence—as well as a greenhouse, classrooms, labs, and San Francisco Hall, a first-year, 400-plus-bed residence hall that will foster an eco-conscience ethos. Across the street, DiNobili Hall, another first-year student residence hall, will house approximately 200 undergraduate students and include a 350-seat dining hall.

UNSEEN LETTERS REVEAL UNREQUITED LOVE


Fr. Bosco’s own research on O’Connor took


an exciting turn when he gained access to a set of 12 previously unseen letters from O’Connor to a Danish book salesman named Erik Lang- kjaer. Much of the existing knowledge about O’Connor’s personal life had come from letters compiled and published by a good friend. Those letters shed little light on O’Connor’s romantic life, and, according to Fr. Bosco, some scholars assumed that O’Connor was unable to form meaningful romantic attachments. The Langkjaer letters indicate otherwise. “She wrote about missing him,” says Fr.


Bosco. “She was infatuated.” Sadly, Langkjaer eventually wrote with news of his impending marriage to someone else. “She really suffered from it,” says Fr. Bosco. “I think this is kind of her last adventure with love. After Erik, she re- focused her energy on writing. People wonder if she had romantic moments in her life that shaped who she was—these letters that no one had seen before helped to shape the narrative.”


Paul Farmer on Haiti


Paul Farmer, MD, PhD, an internationally renowned researcher and advocate for those living in poverty, spoke to a capacity crowd at Stritch School of Medicine on October 11. He focused on the medical relief work continuing in Haiti following the tragic earthquake that displaced millions of people and led to the world’s largest outbreak of cholera. Farmer and his organization, Partners in Health, have worked with the people of Haiti to bring medical care and education through community-based treatment strategies since 1997.
