Report on call with 'Gail Rudenstein:
I have told her'I,will ~
take the flight' 3137 that arrives in
Phil. at 9:28a.m. or I will take the train (Please check on
schedules) and that if I take the train I will be there in Phil~
no later than 10:30 a.m.
We agre~d that I ~ill
cab to the school since there is
absolutely NO need for anyone to come ge~ me on such a 'busy day.
They will have lunch for me.
I told her I do not have a robe to wear but do have my hood,
they want me to wear it or rcan ju~t wear business clothes.
She
will -check as to what folks on ,dais will be wearing and 'whether or
not they can get a robe and let you know.
I'am fine on business
clothes UNLESS e'veryone· else has a robe except for me. . If qthers
wear robes but Phil. says they can't 'order me one we have a
problem.'.. I went through that once at another grad and don't want
to look like
odd person up.theTe. ,You need to check this out
with Coe arid with,Michigan as well when the time is right.
I told her ,I am f
on reception/dinner/whatever sequence of
events they wish. I tol~ he~ I hav~
cho~ce
6:50 p.m. or a
9:28 p.m. flight back to DC,and am happy staying late if they need
me. ALSO; I told her I may fly. to California that night and that
I can't'im~~ine it would be hard to get a 9-p.m. or so flight out
there .... you need to check what times I can get flight to LA that
evening and we·should go oyer those.
This is for AIDS Townhall on
22nd. ,
We went 'oVer length of spee~h, some ideas about content which are'
written on the sheets in daily riotebook which need tp ~e saved for
my trip file.
She will be sending more, info as time passes, both logistics .and
�speech prep things.
In
meantime, she will call earli next
week to see what w~'~e decided about travel .... we' should look at
options by W.ed. if you're back> other'wise early next week. You can
then call her if we have the info befor~ she c'alls back.
Thank you.

you like to hit the Philly nightlife -- there must be a place to do some
snake dancing in this town. Let me know as your plans develop. Look

As pro~iced, here 1s some informatinn abOut the commencemAnt
for the Penn school ofSooial Work on fitly 21. We thou(Jht you'd
want to xilow something ahout the seque.~oe of events th~t
aCternoon, as WAll as the oudien·ce that you will address.
tt"
After IrQ Sehwatt7. WelCOmes, the qraduates/facult.yIfami lieal
frien·ds, he ·wj 11 call on two pre-selectea MSW 9raduatec and one
graduate ot the doctoral program to speok. Each person will have
three minutes for remarks. Shortly after the three graduates
have completed their comments, Ira will intI'oduce you. Your time
frame will be 15-20 1'I'dnuter;:. i'ollowing your remarks, much of t.he
remtlinder of· the ceremony will be devoted to awarding .degree!;.
We should finish aI'ol,md 4.00 p.m.
,'"';"
Nearly allnr·our qraduatin<,J students haVe <.;ompletcd the
two-year master's degree program. '!'heywill be awarded tne MSW
at conunencement. (A few of the groduatcs will receive the D5W or
Ph.D.) The MSW graduates.haVe had two years of rigorous field
placement experience, taking them ott,(,;ampus for 3 days a week.
'J.'1'1e agencies at which students hove ~90n placed retlect the .
spect.rum of·gncial services: child ~f:!lrare (lncluding foster
home!=; and adoption organizat1ons); PM.l.>l ic schools; mAnta 1 heHl th;
medical; criminal jUAticer and geria~rics. Some students.have
been placed at phllaJlthropio foundations: others (as you know),
w1th govermnent. As a group, our students have had first-hand
experiencc with indlv1aual clients, communtty relatlon6, agency
administration; arId, in some caS9~, policy
developinentjimplcmentati()n/analysls ..
..
. These diVerse field· placements snare some commonalities
grounded in stUdents t . educational program at Penn. 'l'hey learn
ilbout the important role they will play AS professionals in
working- for sociol and distributive justice, and in addressing
issues of in3t~tut.ional oppression. TheeQ themes ate inte9ral
PQrte of the School's philosophy: ideally, they will serve to
shape the way that our graduates undeI'stand and eontri hute to
their. areas of praetice. Thiseduc¥~ional/phi1osoPhical
background provides graduates of th~(penri School of Social Work
with a perspect.ivo from wh1.cn tney ~'an respond responsibly to the
range of questionG ana impression,s the·y will encounter a5
practittoners and leaders in t.he delivery or human aervices.

>
,
,
'
reflected on what gives, the most meaning to my life and
.
.
,
.,
.
'
, came to 'a very CLEAR concIJlsion••••
1. Family and perSonal relationships
2. Work
,3. 'Service ' .
, ~d 4, unpinning all' of this, Faith., ,
. 6', ,
.
.

,
'.
�I believe each of us makes our mark on the time in which
we live by continually trying to construct the unique
balance in our lives· among these three things •••·and how
you strike that .balance will change as you go through life,
.
and how you see your obligations will change.
First, your personal relationships. When all is said and
done, it is the people in your life•••your family, the
,
friendships you form and the commitments you. maintain
that give shape to your life. Your friends and your.
neighbors, the people at
wo~ ~ t ~~~.~
)
touch your daily lives. It is said that .with each encounter
we make, no matter how short, how long, we give
�something of ourselves and we receive from that
enco~nter.
Second, your work. For some of you, that may overlap. .
with your contribution to the community•. ~
•
You may choose several careers within' a Iifetime••.1
sure have. But above all, what work really does is
expressed best by President Clinton in a recent address:
"I do not believe we can repair the basic
fabric of society until people who are willing
to work have work.. Work organizes life. It
8.
J
�gives structure and discipline to life. It
gives meaning -and self-esteem to people
.
who are parents. It gives a role model to·
children.
Further•••we cannot, I submit to you, repair
the American community and restore the
American family until'we provide the
structure, the value, the discipline and the
reward that. work gives."
.
9
�,
,
Third, your service. Perhaps the most eloquent statement
of the place of service in, our lives was one I read by Havel,
the playwright and first freely' elected President of
Czechoslovakia••••in a letter he wrote to his :wife Olga while
he was imprisoned he said: "Everything meaningful in life
is distinguished by a certain transcendence of individual
human existence -' beyond the limits of mere 'self-care'
toward other
.
peopl~,
toward society, toward the world.
,
,~
Only by looking, outward, by caring for things that, in
'terms of pure survival, ,you needn't bother with at ,a1I•••and
, by throwing yourself,over and over ag,ain into the tumult'
of the world, with the intention of making your voice count
'
,
- only thus will you really become a person."
10
�I first recognized what I cared most passionately about, .
while I was in graduate school
volunteer with children
I
'. i . when
I worked as' a
at~~~ttle .
Rock. Then after the birth of my son who was diagnosed
.early
w~h~abili~.my experiences gave voice to deep
'
.
.
feelings about what children deserved from their families
.
.
and government. I discovered I wanted my. voice to count
for children.
Some of you may have already had such a life-shaping
experience; for' many, it lies ahead. .Recognize it and·
nurture it when it occurs. Because my concern is making
children count, I hope you will indUlge me as I tell you
11
�. why.. To me, the American Dream is ·an intergenerational
compact. Or as someone once said, one generation is
. '
.
. supposed to leave the key under the mat for the next
generation. We repay our parents for their love in the.
love we give our children -- whether the children born to
us or the children of our community -- and we repay
.
.
society for the 'opportunities we are given by expanding the
opportuniti~s
granted others••that is the way it is supposed
to work. You.and I know too .well it is NOT working that
way. Too many of our children are being impoverished
financially, socially and spiritually. The shrinking of their
futures uItiDiately diminishes us all. Whether yo~ve .
children or end up having children' of your own or not, I
12
�hope each of you will recognize the need for a sensible
national family policy that continues to reverse the neglect
"
of our children.
. There are many ways of helping children. You can do it .
through your own personal lives by being dedicated, loving
..
1iIL~'
parents. You can do it in IiltXL
social work ~
~ ~~on/:WUSiness or government service, by making
policy or making
.~.'
It is a false choice to tell
~omen
or men that we must
, choose between caring for ourselves and our own families
or caring
fo~
the larger family of humanity••••as President.
13
�Clinton has said for years ••••• "Family values alone won"t
feed a'hungry chlld. And material security alone cannot
,
"~'
provide a moral compass.uWe need
~oth."
~
~\w~~KJlQ~~~
··~~~~~t~~.
)fiLe, =1; r:~ears ago, the biggest threat to our country
came from the other side of the Iron Curtain; from the
nuclear weapons that could wipe out the entire planet.
.
,
'
That threat
~
,
has~n~
Today, our greatest national threat comes not from some
external Evil Empire, but from our own futernal '
, indifference that tolerates unparented children" embattled
14
�schools, pervasive poverty, racism, and violence •.
Not for one more year can our country think of children as
some footnote on our national agenda. How we treat our
children should be front and center of that ·national
agenda•••or ultimately it won't matter what else is on that
agenda.
My plea is that you. not 'only nurture the values that will .
determine the choices you make. in your personal lives, but
also insist on policies with those values to nurture our
nation's children.
