Join us for a night of network with local Accounting and Finance Firms. Students will have the opportunity to meet professionals working in Accounting & Financial Services and discuss potential internship and job opportunities. Food and light refreshments will be served, with complimentary headshots taken from 5:30PM-6:30PM in NHIOP 4007 by NH photographer, Danielle Sheerin. This event is co-sponsored by the Professional Development Initiative.

We invite you to join Dr. Stefan Reynolds as he explores the tenets of the Irish Monastic tradition and of contemplative prayer to show how we can create a balance of self-discipline and inter-connection with others in our spiritual practice. One of the treasures of Irish monastic life is its witness to contemplation in the ordinary, by finding God by living a simple and balanced life and by being open to the needs of others in hospitality and service.

Additionally, Dr. Reynolds will discuss the applications of Benedictine wisdom to marriage and friendships. Attentiveness, the monastic tradition tells us, is the purest form of love. Through these works we discover dignity and purpose, and through relationships we discover that we are lovable and able to love.

This event will take place in the NHIOP Auditorium at Saint Anselm College. Hosted by the Center for Ethics in Society.

Please join the Center for Ethics in Society on October 3rd, as Dr. Annabel Beerel examines the role of courage in both institutional and personal life. 

We begin with a discussion of the escalation of corporate crime over the past five years, the scale of employee involvement and the consequences to both individuals and society. This follows with an exploration into how courage is commonly understood, and why so many people were and are complicit in blatantly unethical behavior. What inhibits or detracts them from taking the courageous path of not engaging in ethical misdemeanors and/or whistleblowing? Through discussions and case studies we examine why we struggle to be courageous and wherein lie the major inhibitors.
 
The event will conclude with a discourse on a normative framework for defining courage and with examples of how we can strengthen our own capacities for courage. 

We invite you to participate in this time of courageous self-reflection. (Please note, dinner is included with this event.)

New Hampshire author and journalist Joe McQuaid will join the Institute to present a true New Hampshire story about his parents and World War II, with War Fronts Home Fires: A WWII correspondent's remarkable coverage, his wife's indomitable spirit.

As a World War II newspaper correspondent, B.J. McQuaid covered American and British front lines from the frozen Aleutian Islands of Alaska, to the steaming jungles and seas of the South Pacific, at Tarawa and Guadalcanal and then to Europe from D-Day forward in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany.

B.J. interviewed Sir Bernard Law Montgomery during the Battle of the Bulge and went toe-to-toe with U.S. Third Army General George S. Patton. He interviewed and got the names of frontline soldiers and sailors, providing a link to their families back home in towns and cities across the United States. His stories ran in more than 80 American newspapers through the Chicago Daily News Service.

He was separated from his wife, Peg McQuaid, and two small children for three years. Peg kept the Home Fires burning back in New Hampshire, providing for herself and their two small children. She dealt with food, oil, and gasoline rationing while writing faithfully and regularly to her husband overseas.

Theirs is a story of love, of sacrifice, and of hope. Even 80 years after D-Day in Europe, it will still resonate with many Americans.

Books may be purchased in advance at your local bookseller or online. 

Free and open to the public.
