This fall we bring you the second issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences. The "Journey" of the cover story refers literally to the Alternative Winter Break trip to El Salvador undertaken by a dozen Suffolk students who harnessed their classroom learning to their passion for social change.

This issue pulses with such journeys of passion: Gregory Hazelwood BA'98 teaches African American history at Brockton High School, where his mentorship truly matters; Coach Jim Nelson models self-respect and decorum as surely as he demonstrates a sweeping hook shot; and recent theatre graduates Purnima Baldwin and Rachel Kelsey make a bold and important statement about homelessness in Boston with their play, Infinity.

The rewards of a Suffolk Arts and Sciences education often take the form of civic engagement--serving others and making a positive change in the world. Let us bring you down a few of the paths explored by our students, faculty, and alumni as they have journeyed toward effectiveness in the world.
