Epifani is First to Major in Sociology
with a Civic Engagement and Social
Change Concentration
Nicolette Epifani participated in the
Exploratory Studies program during
her freshman year at Widener. After
spending a year taking a variety of
courses, she sat in her advisor’s office
considering her options for majors.
Then, she stumbled across a brand new
major in the catalog: sociology with a
civic engagement and social change
concentration.
Epifani had become immersed in
service since arriving on Widener’s
campus as a member of the
Presidential Service Corps. The
idea that she could also focus her
coursework on making a difference
appealed to her. Her instinct told
her that this was the major for her.
Now as a sophomore, Epifani is
Widener’s first sociology major with a
civic engagement and social change
concentration.
“I’ve been very fortunate with the cards
I’ve been dealt in life,” Epifani said.
“Those who are born into poverty or
dysfunctional family dynamics did not
choose that life. They need help to rise
above some circumstances. I have so
much love in my life and want to give it
to others who may need it.”
Epifani feels that through her
coursework, she is already gaining skills
that will help her make a career out of
making a difference.
“Much of what I’m learning is helping to
develop my character,” she said. “I’m
learning how to lead, think critically,
and conduct research. I’ll apply those
Nicolette Epifani
skills to any job. I never sit in class and
wonder why I’m learning something.”
According to Dr. Stuart Eimer, associate
professor and chair of sociology, a
goal of the new civic engagement
and social change concentration is to
equip students with practical skills that
will support them in their engagement
efforts. In addition, he said that much
of the coursework will help students
understand social issues from multiple
angles to provide more context for
the civic engagement work they are
currently doing and will do in the future.
“So many of our students are civically
engaged, whether they are sociology
majors or not,” Eimer said. “We think
this new major meets a previously
unmet demand for curriculum that
allows our students to study social
issues, think about how to create
positive change, and develop the skills
to make that change.”

Physical Therapy Clinic Hits
Five-Year Milestone
Goodrich said that when she
entered treatment at the Chester
Community Physical Therapy Clinic,
her level of dizziness was a 19 out
of 10. Today, it is a 2 out of 10.
From left to right, Nicole
Rayson, alumna Antionette
Patterson, Nicole Gezzi, and
Jonathan Bellizio pose in the
physical therapy clinic with
patient William Wier.
The Chester Community Physical
Therapy Clinic opened its doors five
years ago to serve the underinsured
and uninsured members of
the Chester and surrounding
communities. Students, faculty, and
alumni of Widener’s Institute for
Physical Therapy Education have all
played a role in making the clinic a
success. Together, they have treated
236 total clients who have visited
the clinic more than 3,400 times.
Regina Goodrich, 59, of Yeadon,
PA, is one of those patients.
Goodrich began visiting the clinic
at the recommendation of her
primary care physician. She had
been experiencing dizziness, which
resulted in her leaving her job on
medical leave and eventually losing
her health insurance.
“The care I received at the clinic
was phenomenal, not just great,”
Goodrich said. “I was there for
about 14 months, and the students
wouldn’t dismiss me. They wanted
me to enjoy a higher quality of life.
That was important to them. They
were caring and very protective of
me.”

“I am so thankful that I had a place
to go where I could be treated with
respect and dignity,” she said.
Brian Kennedy, a third year
physical therapy student and a
clinic coordinator, says that the
opportunity to work with patients
like Goodrich is a huge benefit for
Widener PT students.
“From my first day in the physical
therapy program, I got to work with
patients,” he said. “When I started
my clinical rotations, I noticed
that other students were looking
to me for advice because of this
experience.”
As a clinic coordinator for the
past three years, Kennedy has not
only treated patients in the clinic,
but has also helped in the overall
operation of the clinic. He is proud
of the role he and his peers have
played in helping the clinic grow
in terms of the number of patients
treated. However, he is equally
proud of efforts to raise awareness
of the clinic on a national level.
Widener’s Institute for Physical
Therapy Education has hosted
its own conference for the past
two years on operating a studentrun physical therapy clinic. In
addition, Widener students and
faculty regularly take calls or host
webinars to consult with other
programs interested in starting
a clinic or troubleshooting clinic
issues. Their efforts have helped
at least 10 other physical therapy
programs throughout the nation
start their own student-run physical
therapy clinic.

Faces of Widener: Iain Moyer
couple of years ago. Moyer is charged
with its revival.
“We’ve completed the recruitment
process and are now learning
appropriate music selections,” Moyer
explained.
Iain Moyer,
Director of Athletic Bands and
Music Programs Recruiter
This semester, Widener is launching a
Pep Band that will perform at athletic
events and other university functions.
The ensemble is directed by Dr. Iain
Moyer, the newly appointed director
of athletic bands and music programs
recruiter.
The Pep Band was created to
establish an energetic atmosphere
for the Widener community during
campus activities and sporting events.
Previously, Widener’s Pep Band was a
student-run organization, but it folded a
He is optimistic that the band will
make its debut during homecoming
weekend, October 18. He hopes that
the Pep Band will then be prepared to
play at home football games for the rest
of the season, as well as at university
functions. In the spring, the Pep Band
will perform at home basketball games
for both the men’s and women’s teams.
“It will take a lot of work, but I’m
excited to have the opportunity to build
something new,” Moyer said. “The
long-term goal for the Pep Band will be
to expand into a marching band.”
Moyer has a passion for teaching and
music, and his career path has allowed
him to combine the two. Prior to joining
Widener, Moyer served as the assistant
director of bands for the University
of North Alabama, where he taught
marching band and percussion studio.
At Widener, Moyer will not only lead
the Pep Band, but he will also work
with the Office of Admissions as a
music programs recruiter. He will be
responsible for external recruitment
of high school students for Widener’s
musical programs.
Moyer currently resides in Swarthmore,
PA, with his wife, Nicole, who is a
chorus teacher at Sun Valley High
School in Aston, PA. Both musically
talented, they met while doing what
they love—teaching music a couple of
summers ago.
Off campus, Moyer enjoys spending
time with his wife and their one-year-old
daughter, Sophia. During the summer
months, Moyer works with The Cadets
Drum Corps from Allentown, PA, as
the front ensemble arranger and tours
the country with this elite marching
ensemble.
Do You Have Pep?
The Widener University Pep Band is
open to all Widener undergraduate
students with an interest and previous
experience in a high school band
program. For more information
regarding the Widener University Pep
Band, contact Moyer at 610-499-1010,

Harrisburg Campus Welcomes You to
“The Gallery”
The Harrisburg Campus has
rededicated one of its showpiece
spaces to maximize its visual appeal for
the School of Law community.
The large open gathering space inside
the front door of the Administration
Building, formerly known as the
Reception Room, has been renamed
The Gallery to reflect its newly added
function as a showcase for artwork.
The change comes through a
partnership between Widener Law and
the Art Association of Harrisburg. For a
nominal monthly fee, the association is
supplying the school with artwork that
will rotate every three months. The first
group, oil paintings on wood planks,
went up last week. The Gallery’s
inaugural featured artist is Kelly McGee
Curran, who happens to be the wife of
law alumnus Matthew J. Curran, ’13.
The school recently installed picture
rails along the walls for displaying the
pieces. New benches and an area rug
are on the way. The room, which is
often used for post-event receptions
and special programs that attract
visitors, just looked empty when it
wasn’t in use, Interim Dean Robyn
Meadows said.
Now, the school will host special
functions in a space that truly is a
showpiece. Meadows believes that
he art gives the room depth and
atmosphere.
“We are really amazed by the character
this new purpose has added to the
room,” Meadows said. “It is so much
more appealing and inviting, and this
partnership has proven to be a fantastic
way to get art onto the campus.”
Meadows said she was especially
pleased by the aspect of community
involvement the repurposed room
represents, and the way it offers visitors
a feast for the eyes. The artwork is
also available for purchase through the
association.
“This is really a space to be proud of,”
Meadows said.

Smart Phone Apps and Pride Ride Highlight Campus
Safety Initiatives
It’s late, and you

Feeling as if
you should alert
others to your
whereabouts,
you pull out
your cellphone
and activate
the EmergenSee application, turning
your phone into a transmitter sending
video, audio, and your location directly
to a computer in the Campus Safety
Office. EmergenSee is just one of
three initiatives recently instituted by
Campus Safety.
The Campus Safety Office has also
launched the Pride Ride, allowing
members of the Main Campus
community to receive free rides at
night to and from nearby off-campus
locations; and TransLoc, a smart
phone application that allows the
Main Campus community to track the
location of the Widener shuttle bus.
“These tools and initiatives offer
convenience and a higher level of
connection to Campus Safety, and
we’re excited to offer them to the
Widener community,” said Campus
Safety Director Patrick Sullivan.
The EmergenSee application can be
used anytime someone feels unsafe or
witnesses the commission of a crime.
The system will also work on any other
college or university campus that has
the system, Sullivan said.
The Pride Ride will operate from
4:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. seven days a
week, according to Sullivan. To be
transported to Chester/Sun Hill,
students should report to the Campus
Safety Office in Old Main. To be
transported to campus from Chester/
Sun Hill, students should call 610-4994200.
“At this time, only one vehicle will be
dedicated to this service, so we ask
that callers please be patient when
waiting for transportation,” Sullivan
said.
With the TransLoc application,
students can track the location of the
shuttle bus so they can better time
when to go to the shuttle stop, using
that time to stay inside where it’s
warmer, especially now that winter
weather is upon us.
Both EmergenSee and TransLoc are
free applications. EmergenSee can
be downloaded at http://emergensee.
com/features/download-emergensee,
and TransLoc can be downloaded at
http://widener.transloc.com.
“It’s important to remember that
these are tools to supplement our
overall campus safety efforts and not
substitutes for basic safety measures,”
Sullivan said. “Always remember to
travel in groups, especially late at
night, and utilize the campus safety
security escort service.”

Constitution Day Event
uphold it and how courts protect it
around the world.
Widener University celebrated
Constitution Day on Main Campus
September 15 with a guest lecture by
Erin Daly, interim dean of Widener Law
Delaware and professor of law.
Daly presented on “the Right to
Human Dignity” and how constitutions
During her lecture, Daly explained
that while the right to human dignity
transcends the history of law, a
number of constitutions, including
our very own, do not include a single
mention of it. “So how do we know
if human dignity is important?” Daly
asked. “Because the judicial branch
of our government guarantees it; the
courts give life to the constitution.”
She continued to explain that the
courts will read into things as an
embodiment of all human rights,
including dignity.
“Different courts define dignity in
different ways,” she said, noting that
in Germany, a right to dignity is a right
to life. In other countries it is the idea
of equality. She shared specific case
examples where dignity was upheld by
the courts, from a right to reputation
in Argentina to a right to health care in
the United States.
“The court is trying to protect human
dignity,” Daly said. “The challenge
of the law is, in order to move things
forward, we must start with the
premise of human dignity.”
