Bringing a real-life true crime discussion to Dean College, the Dean Leadership Institute welcomes Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey to campus. The latest installment of the speaker series will take place on March 29 at 6 PM in the Guidrey Center, located inside the Dr. Paula M. Rooney Student Center.
The Spring 2023 installment of the DLI speaker series focuses on crime scene investigation, which coincides with Dean’s popular criminal justice academic program. Morrissey will be joined by First Assistant District Attorney Lynn Beland, who has prosecuted more than 100 murder cases and was named the state’s 2012 prosecutor of the year, and Massachusetts State Police Detective Lt. Brian Tully, commander of the homicide unit attached to Morrissey’s office. The three will connect with students about careers in criminal justice and prepare them for success after graduation. The discussion will help Dean students to understand the process of a crime scene investigation from the moment authorities arrive through prosecution.

Dean Leadership Institute was pleased to welcome Dr. Charles Steinberg, president of the Worcester Red Sox, the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, as the first speaker of the fall semester for the Dean Leadership Institute.Dean College Chancellor Edward Augustus introduced “Dr. Charles”, whose career in baseball began 40+ years ago with an internship with the Baltimore Orioles, his hometown team. Dr. Charles joined the Worcester Red Sox, known as the Pawtucket Red Sox at the time, as president on November 15, 2015, after many years as Executive Vice President of the Boston Red Sox.Dr. Charles spoke to our students about the qualities that he looks for when hiring an intern – qualities that he wished he would have known when he was first starting his career.“Integrity is paramount,” said Dr. Charles. “Can I trust you? Do you do what you say you’re going to do? Can I believe you?” he added. “I had no idea when I started my internship with the Orioles that they were going to notice me. I didn’t think they cared – they had bigger things to do. Later I would realize that interns are watched like hawks and your professional career starts on day one.”

The New England Journal of Medicine writes the following editorial:
"COVID-19 has created a crisis throughout the world. This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy.
The magnitude of this failure is astonishing. According to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering,1 the United States leads the world in Covid-19 cases and in deaths due to the disease, far exceeding the numbers in much larger countries, such as China. The death rate in this country is more than double that of Canada, exceeds that of Japan, a country with a vulnerable and elderly population, by a factor of almost 50, and even dwarfs the rates in lower-middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000. Covid-19 is an overwhelming challenge, and many factors contribute to its severity. But the one we can control is how we behave. And in the United States we have consistently behaved poorly.
We know that we could have done better. China, faced with the first outbreak, chose strict quarantine and isolation after an initial delay. These measures were severe but effective, essentially eliminating transmission at the point where the outbreak began and reducing the death rate to a reported 3 per million, as compared with more than 500 per million in the United States. Countries that had far more exchange with China, such as Singapore and South Korea, began intensive testing early, along with aggressive contact tracing and appropriate isolation, and have had relatively small outbreaks. And New Zealand has used these same measures, together with its geographic advantages, to come close to eliminating the disease, something that has allowed that country to limit the time of closure and to largely reopen society to a prepandemic level. In general, not only have many democracies done better than the United States, but they have also outperformed us by orders of magnitude."

"Ashland Democrat Sen. Karen Spilka, the lead budget writer for the Senate, has emerged from a crowded but fluid field of Democrats interested in becoming the next Senate president to seize the mantle a full nine months before senators were expected to choose their next leader.
Spilka, the chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, has the support of more than 25 of her current colleagues, according to a source close to the senator.
One of those Democratic supporters is Sen. Sal DiDomenico, an assistant majority leader form Everett who was one of Spilka’s main rivals for the president. The two senators met on Wednesday, and DiDomenico agreed to support Spilka and ask his own supporters to back her candidacy as well.
“I’m deeply honored by the support I’ve received from my fellow Senators. I look forward to working collaboratively with Senate President (Harriette) Chandler and my Democratic and Republican colleagues to ensure a smooth transition,” Spilka said in a statement."

“Senators have made clear that they want certainty in leadership to allow us to focus solely on the vitally important work to be done on behalf of the people at this time. It’s time to turn the page and usher in a new era of collaborative leadership in the Senate.” #mapoli https://t.co/rHcLORJsI5— Karen Spilka (@KarenSpilka) March 21, 2018
