President’s Corner

On Saturday, May 8, 2021—a beautiful spring morning—we gathered at Truist Stadium (home of the Winston-Salem Dash baseball team) for an in-person and virtual Commencement ceremony to honor the Salem College Class of 2021. I—along with members of the Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, and staff —shared the enthusiasm and the pride of our graduates, their loved ones, and friends who assembled. This was a unique year, a unique day, a unique moment in a journey for many reasons, the most important of which is that we honored our graduates and their accomplishments.

We were extremely honored to have Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones as our Commencement speaker, particularly in these times, when the matters on which she has spent a lifetime are newly visible to us all. Across the past year, we have heard the phrase “it is a moment in a movement” as we have seen again and again moments in the movement that we call the racial justice movement.

We have endured moments of frustration and celebrated occasions of change—and moments in our recognition that this matter is deeply entangled in all that we do and experience. Dr. Jones was, indeed, perfectly situated to speak to our community at Commencement, as a leader whose wisdom matters.

Dr. Jones is a family physician and epidemiologist whose work focuses on naming, measuring, and addressing the impacts of racism on the health and well-being of the nation and indeed of all of us. By pointing to racism as itself a public health concern, she ensures that we recognize our call to hope and to act, in this time of COVID-19 and of ongoing racism and gendered racism, to bend the arc of history toward justice—and toward health. She calls us to the public good as well as inspires us to individual growth.

Dr. Jones’s allegories on race and racism illuminate topics that we all must understand, discuss and that call us, as Salem College’s mission does, to change the world. Recognizing that racism saps the strength of the whole society through the waste of human resources, she aims to mobilize and engage all Americans in a National Campaign Against Racism. Among others, she aims to mobilize us—to mobilize Salem.

I hope you will take a moment to watch Dr. Jones’s speech, and indeed the entire Commencement ceremony. You can find a link to the video on our website. The fact that we were able to gather with so many of our graduates in person was a powerful and important experience after more than a year of remote learning.

Best wishes for a happy, restorative summer for us all.

Susan Henking
Interim President

The 2020-2021 Academic Year Draws to a Close

Wow. What a year it has been. I don’t think any of us knew quite what the 2020–2021 academic year would be like, and I am so delighted and proud of all our collective hard work over this past year. We have reached the end of a full year of remote learning and have done so successfully.

While it may not be what any of us wanted, I am impressed and humbled by the entire Salem College community’s ability to come together during an extremely difficult time to forge a campus community in a virtual space. The word “unprecedented” has perhaps been overused during the pandemic, but that’s because it is apt. We have not confronted anything else quite like this in our lifetimes.

We had a wonderful celebration for the Class of 2021 at Commencement on Saturday, May 8. Salem was thrilled to be able to hold an in-person ceremony right here in Winston-Salem to honor our graduates and send them on their way to a bright future.

We are also excited about planning a celebration for the Class of 2020, who were not able to have an in-person ceremony last spring, during the 2021–2022 academic year. We will have more information on this event at a later date.

In just under four months, we will be welcoming students back to the Salem campus for the first time in nearly a year and a half. I feel safe in speaking for the faculty and staff when I say that we can’t wait for everyone to be together again as an in-person community. We will reunite in August as stronger and more resilient people.

After this unique and at times stressful year, our students, faculty, and staff have earned the right to pause in satisfaction of all their achievements in 2020–2021. I hope you join me in wishing them well in whatever their endeavors are this summer

Commencement 2021 Videos

The end of the year and 2021 Commencement activities were a little different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic but were no less meaningful than other years. You can watch the 2021 Baccalaureate (virtual) and Commencement (in person and livestreamed) Ceremonies by visiting our website. On the same webpage you will also find the Honors Convocation videos and the Fleer Center’s annual Back Porch Party, which were all held virtually this year.  Although the past year has been challenging, our seniors emerged triumphant. We can’t wait to see what they do next.

2021 Celebration of Academic Excellence at Salem College

We hope you will take a moment to explore, celebrate, and honor the creative and academic accomplishments of our students and faculty by visiting CAE@SC. You can explore the various presentations and learn about the fascinating projects and research going on at Salem College!

The 2021 H.A. Pfohl Awards

The H.A. Pfohl Awards were established by the children of a long-time trustee of Salem. The Pfohl Awards are given annually in two categories: $500 to a senior student who exemplifies strong campus citizenship, moral character, loyalty, and effective service to the College; and $1,000 to a faculty member who has demonstrated sound service, loyalty, moral character, and effective teaching. These awards are considered among the most prestigious at Salem College.

At Salem College Commencement on May 8, Interim President Susan Henking presented the 2021 H.A. Pfohl Faculty Award to Dr. Diane Lipsett, who serves as Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Classical Studies, and Health Humanities and the 2021 H.A. Pfohl Student Award to Fatima Amjad C’21.

2021 H.A. Pfohl Faculty Award: Dr. Diane Lipsett

Dr. Lipsett serves Salem College in a variety of ways, most particularly as a leader in shared governance. She has been a member of several standing committees, including chairing the Curriculum Committee and her department. Dr. Lipsett has served as Faculty Secretary, as a member of the College Design Task Force, as co-chair of the Health Leadership Team, as co-chair of the Quality Enhancement Plan committee, and as chair of the Committee on the Faculty. Last year, students awarded her the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society Outstanding Teacher Award, which honors a professor each year who carries out the society’s value of leadership and service in extracurricular activities to encourage development of general campus citizenship.

What more powerful way is there to describe the dedication and commitment of Dr. Lipsett than through the words of her students? One remarked that she helped mold her writing, saying “I needed the challenges she presented to me in her course to hone my skills.” Indeed, many have said, “I needed her.”

Another student said that her “knowledge, commitment, and passion make her an incredible professor. However, her kindness, her willingness to take time out of her own busy schedule to work closely with her students, and her compassion is what truly sets her apart as an exceptional educator. I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to be able to learn from her and [for] the tremendous impact she has had in shaping my college education.”

2021 H.A. Pfohl Student Award: Fatima Amjad

Fatima waving from commencement 2021

This year’s H.A. Pfohl Student Award recipient was Fatima Amjad C’21. President Henking stated, when announcing the award, that Fatima “possesses a probing intellect, always actively in search of the truth. On more than one occasion, she has held the feet of a faculty member, administrator—and even a president—to the fire during a meeting with her kind, direct, and eager questioning of us all. We are honoring a student today who has, indeed, exhibited strong campus and community citizenship during her four years at Salem. She is known by her classmates and her professors as ‘always reliable, always thorough, always cheerful and positive.’

“She has served Salem College—and us all—through the Off Campus Association, the International Club, the Art Society, the Asian Culture Club, and as a member of the Sights and Insights staff. And her service extends beyond the campus through her volunteer work with Old Salem, Habitat for Humanity, Visit Winston Salem 360, the Great American Clean Up, and the Annual Blood Drive hosted by the World Health Organization. She is a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta and Tri-Beta honor societies and the ODK National Leadership Society, as well as the American Chemical Society. Her varied academic interests and achievements underscore her ability to, as one of her professors said, ‘investigate the connections between what other people might see as disparate things’ such as art and science—in her case, through the pursuit of a double major in art history and biology.”

The 2021 Student Oak Award Winner

The distinguished Oak Award is given each year to a senior who has attended Salem College for four years and has held leadership positions, performed her duties with distinction, made a notable contribution to the quality of life at Salem, and has attained at least a 3.0 grade point average overall. The winner of the 2021 Oak award, which symbolizes the strength, longevity, and resilience of the Oak trees that adorn Salem’s beautiful campus, was Ella Srikhirisawan C’21.

When last year’s winner, Fiona Johnson A’16 C’20, announced the award, she stated, among many other accolades: “This year’s Oak Award recipient has been a notable influence on Salem’s campus, working with fellow students through her many leadership roles as a Residential Assistant, Orientation Leader, SGA Elections Chair, Chief Marshall, and as a member and serving on the board of multiple honor societies. While she has been a significant leader on campus, she is also one of the highest examples of scholarship at Salem. She maintained a 4.0 GPA while double majoring in biochemistry and chemistry. She is a Dean’s List Scholar, receiving the Dorris Collie Hall Scholarship for her academic achievement and for her contributions to the College during her first year. Her commitment to the Salem community and academics is further highlighted by her service as a tutor in the Quest Center, where she mentors students both academically and personally. While her accolades and academics and scholarship are remarkable in themselves, it is her true character in service to others which makes her this year’s recipient. Her advisor said, “I can’t think of a better person to receive Salem’s highest honor just as we shift into Health Leadership. She’s a true leader, a quiet leader, a strong leader, a courageous leader.”

The Road to the 250th
Salem Seal hi-res
Salem’s Seal Gamma Kappa Delta

This month’s column is adapted from a paper titled “Decoding the Salem Seal” that was written by Rev. Deborah L. Austin, C’78.

The Salem Academy and College seal is the official symbol reserved for important papers and occasions, such as diplomas and school programs. Designed in 1907 by a student named Dorothy Doe, it was drawn to include ribbons in 1948. The symbols on the seal include a scroll that represents learning and a wreath for peace. There is also a row of books that originally was a mountain peak, which represented Pilot Mountain and designated strength. On the ribbons are three Greek letters, Gamma Kappa Delta, which stand for “Gnosis Kai Dikaiosune.” In the 1907 Sights and Insights, the motto is translated as “Knowledge and Virtue.”

The motto was devised for the Class of 1907 by Bishop Edward Rondthaler, who served as the President of Salem Academy and College from 1884 until 1888. After 1888, he took on the role of Greek, Latin, and Biblical Literature professor. He taught at Salem until his death in 1931. Through the years, a tradition developed for him to compose a Greek letter motto for each college class. The members of the 1907 senior class wore pins with the motto’s letters. One of the seniors, Dorothy Doe, drew a seal for Salem, and Bishop Rondthaler gave the same motto to the seal that he had given to the Class of 1907.

It is intriguing to realize that the gnosis and dikaiosune motto has the capacity to provide fresh new vision for Salem Academy and College, a vision both anchored in Moravian heritage as well as proving relevant for present and future generations. It is a motto that calls us to large living.

Consider how these two Greek words show themselves in various places around Salem. Indeed, do not Salem’s honor code and Honor Council point to learned truth, integrity, and the honoring of both self and the other person? Each student is being challenged to meet their full potential. In our time, Salem is working hard to be a community of diversity, inclusiveness, and social justice.

These Greek words offer depth to the Salem spirit, a spirit which includes our history born out of Moravian tradition and imbued with excellence. As Salem prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary year, the entire school community is being challenged to dikaiosune, to integrity and honor and inclusiveness and character building. That kind of challenge is not met through the rote practice of learning facts from books. It is a deeper knowledge, a gnosis that comes from living life, from knowing God, from exercising leadership, from experiencing life’s counterintuitive and creative truths, and from glimpsing wisdom.

Salem Voices: A Conversation with Salem Alumnae

On Tuesday, May 4, we aired the 15th episode of Salem Voices, which featured a conversation between Lucy Rose, C’76 and Dr. Cristi Magracia, C’15. Cristi is an emerging world traveler. Beginning from her hometown of Lemon Grove, California, she crossed the country to graduate from Salem College with a B.S. in Exercise Science and then crossed back to earn her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Southern California. During her time at Salem, she spent a semester studying abroad in Nagasaki, Japan, which gave her a unique perspective and preparation for a clinical rotation she spent in Beijing, China as a Student Physical Therapist. Currently, she works at NYC Health + Hospitals/ Metropolitan as a Physical Therapist, primarily working with patients in the Acute Care setting.

Congratulations to our 2021 Alumnae Award Recipients

Alumna Service Award: Ellen Todd Drew C’81

Ellen Drew

The Alumna Service Award recognizes a Salem alumna’s outstanding service to Salem through leadership, student recruitment, alumnae club leadership, internship opportunities, or other beneficial activities. For her continued service to Salem, Ellen Todd Drew C’81, is the Alumna Service Award recipient for 2021.  In the years since graduation, Ellen worked in the development offices at Peabody Essex Museum and the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center, as well as working as an administrator at the Jewish Board of Family and Children Services in New York City.

Her service to Salem has been profound as she currently serves as the Chair of the Development Committee for the Academy and College’s Board of Trustees, in addition to previous roles as a class officer for the class of 1981, an Alumnae Admissions Representative, and in 2019, she hosted a luncheon in her Los Altos Hills, CA home to introduce President Doran to women in the technology sector.

Ellen notably served as Co-Chair for the Step Up for Salem Campaign, which raised more than $13 million in cash in one year, and she was recognized as a Trailblazer at the close of the campaign. In addition to her service to Salem, Ellen is deeply committed to, and involved in, her local community where she has served as a member of the PTA of her children’s school, Girl Scouts, Junior League, Second Harvest Silicon Valley, and Part the Cloud Steering Committee for Alzheimer’s research.

Distinguished Alumna Award: Lucy Rose C’76

Lucy Rose 2021

The Distinguished Alumna Award recognizes a Salem alumna’s achievements in volunteer service and/or her professional distinctions. The 2021 Distinguished Alumna Award recipient is Lucy Rose C’76. Lucy owns and operates Lucy Rose & Associates, a firm that works with pharmaceutical and medical companies and related agencies to provide regulatory promotional strategy support.

Before launching her own company, Lucy served in various roles at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research of the Food and Drug Administration and at Mead Johnson Pharmaceuticals. Throughout her professional career, Lucy has been honored many times nationally and internationally for her impact as a global health leader. In addition to her many professional accomplishments, Lucy holds a BS in Biology from Salem, an MBA from Averett College, and she also graduated from the Wake Forest University Physician Assistant Program as a board-certified Physician Assistant.

While at Salem, Lucy served as the President of the Student Government Association, and still maintains connections with SGA presidents past and present. A former Alumnae Board member, a driving force behind the Salem Academy and College Club in New York City, the host of the Salem Voices video series, and the Vice-Chair of Salem’s Board of Trustees are just a few marks of her service to Salem. Lucy has been instrumental to the development and execution of Salem’s Health Leadership pivot and has a long history of partnering with the Institutional Advancement Office to connect Salem to funding opportunities. Most recently, Lucy cultivated and solicited a donor which resulted in the recent $5 million gift to Health Leadership, which marks the largest gift in Salem’s history.

Young Alumna Award: Jaimie Barber Palmer C’06

The Young Alumna Award recognizes a Salem alumna who within 15 years of her graduation exemplifies outstanding leadership qualities through professional and/or volunteer service. Jaimie Barber Palmer C’06 has been selected as the Young Alumna Award winner for 2021. Jaimie serves as the Division Manager for Allen Marine Tours in Ketchikan, Alaska, in addition to owning a boutique and candle company. A wife and mom of two, Jaimie is a proud 2006 graduate with degrees in Sociology and Communications.

Aside from her career in tourism in Southeastern Alaska, Jaimie is a member of multiple boards: Ketchikan Visitor’s Bureau, the Alaska Travel Industry Association, and Women in Safe Homes. In the past few years, she has been recognized for her community outreach efforts, and was named the “Heart of the Community” through the Ketchikan Visitor’s Bureau and “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Greater Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce. Recently, she secured a $50,000 donation from the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line to support Women in Safe Homes. This donation completed funding for a new safe shelter. Jaimie also recently became one of 1,000 female entrepreneurs to be granted the Red Backpack Fund from SPANX through the Global Giving Foundation.

Distinguished Service Award: Ella Ann Lee Holding C’56

Ella Ann

The Distinguished Service Award is awarded at the discretion of the Alumnae Board and Salem College to alumnae who go above and beyond in both their service to Salem and lifetime achievements. Last awarded in 2012, the Distinguished Service Award has only been granted a few times to extraordinary alumnae. For her everlasting commitment and generosity to Salem, Ella Ann Lee Holding C’56 is awarded the Distinguished Service Award. Ella Ann’s devotion to Salem is limitless; over the years, she has hosted multiple alumnae gatherings at her home in Smithfield, NC and has served on the Reunion giving committee for her class. In the mid-90s, Ella Ann’s service was recognized when she was awarded the Alumna Service Award and in 2005, she and her late husband, Frank, established the Frank and Ella Ann Holding Scholarship Fund for Salem College students.

During the Step Up for Salem Campaign, she penned compelling letters to her classmates and sister classes encouraging donations during a critical moment in Salem’s history. She was later recognized as a Step Up for Salem Campaign Trailblazer. As Ella Ann celebrates her 65th Reunion at Salem, the Alumnae Board was determined to recognize her loyalty, dedication, and service to the Salem community and wanted to extend this award to our extraordinary alumna. An accomplished pianist, Ella Ann graduated with a BA in Music and holds a Master of Music in Piano Performance from Yale University School of Music. She spent time at Juilliard, was a Fulbright Scholar at the Royal Academy of Music in London and served as Campbell University’s first Artist-in-Residence for over twelve years.

Her performances are many; most notably performing with orchestras including the Yale Symphony, Raleigh Symphony, North Carolina Symphony, and the South Carolina Philharmonic. With that being said, it should come as no surprise that Ella Ann is a longtime Friend of the School of Music. In 2018, she travelled to New York City to attend an event honoring Margaret Sandresky as the North Carolina Society of New York’s Person of the Year.
