Antiochians Win Emmy Award
Saturday, September 8, 2007
Antiochians and Yellow Springs
residents Julia Reichert ’70 and
Steven Bognar were awarded a
Primetime Emmy for Exceptional
Merit in Nonfiction Filmmaking for
their documentary film “A Lion in the
House”. Julia is a 1970 graduate of
Antioch College and Steven is a
former member of the College
faculty.
In a phone interview Friday, Reichert gave credit toher Antioch
education and work with WYSO for giving her the opportunity to
explore her interest and film and sound. “I feel to my bones that I
am who I am because of Antioch College. I am one of those people
that Antioch claimed and shaped.”
“A LION IN THE HOUSE is a feature documentary spanning six years in
the lives of five American families who each have a child fighting cancer.
Weaving the stories of the five kids, their families and their caregivers, A
LION IN THE HOUSE creates an extraordinaryand complex portrait of
human resilience.” View the full story from the Yellow Springs News
hereor visit the film’s website A Lion In The House to learn more.

Alumni Board Newsflash 9/14/2007
The Word of the Week is “Progress”
RAISING DOUGH: Our Revival fund has reached a total of $12
million in cash and pledges, an amount equal to the entire
endowment of Bennington College. Donors have earmarked the
money to be used only for the continuation of Antioch as a
residential undergraduate College with a tenured faculty that is
moving toward a system of self-governance.
DEVELOPING THE PLAN: In about a week, Dixie Maurer-Clemons
and a team of alumni volunteers will widely circulate for comments
and ideas a draft of the Antioch College Revitalization Business
Plan. Alumni Board Treasurer Rick Daily, who is coordinating the
development of the plan, stresses that “we want as many people as
possible to see the draft and give input.” Meanwhile, the Alumni
Board is exploring the possibility of hiring a well-respected financial
planner to help craft the final version.
SHARING THE PLAN: University Board of Trustees President Art
Zucker will travel to Denver in early October to meet with Alumni
Board President Nancy Crow and other Alumni Board members
and Trustees. They’ll discuss progress being made in the
development of the Revitalization Plan. A formal presentation of the
completed plan to the entire Board of Trustees is scheduled to take
place in Yellow Springs the last weekend in October.
MOVING DEVELOPMENT: The Antioch College Development staff
is not only being expanded, it is being given its own home – Weston
Hall. Alums Ellen Borgersen and Matt Derr have been on campus
these past two weeks working with Risa Grimes and the rest of the
development staff.
TEACHING FROM LIFE: In the best tradition of Antioch College,
faculty and students are using the current crisis as a learning tool.
This weekend, September 14-16, faculty, alumni, staff and students
will discuss, teach and learn about the organizing, planning,
financing and research techniques that are being employed to
address the current situation and to save Antioch.
