Summer ’08

Letter from the President

A

Dear Alumni and Friends,

s always, it’s a pleasure to reach out to our many alumni and friends of the College. This includes venues from alumni trips — with more being scheduled for the upcoming year — to our Alumni/Homecoming events and traditions such as planting trees on Alumni Walk, commemorating our 50-year reunion class and our most recent graduates. Last May 12, our graduates witnessed two of our alumni featured as keynote speakers at graduate and undergraduate commencements — Ed Doherty ’81 and CBS Correspondent Vince Gonzales ’90 — along with my bestowing an honorary doctorate on our own Garth Fagan, emeritus professor of dance at Brockport.

From our great tradition of “Move-In Day” to May graduation ceremonies, one wonders where the year went. It was another tremendous year for the College marked by extraordinary plans to build a new $44 million, 150,000 sq. ft. Special Events Recreation Center (with $39 million already secured from the State of New York) and the completion of a state-of-the-art, $18 million, 208-bed townhome village (as we cut the ribbon on August 15).

Now our attention turns to our Lake Ontario Natural Resource Center, planned for the Port of Rochester, in a joint venture with the City of Rochester, complemented by federal funds. As you visit campus, you’ll see another $22 million in campus improvements from new roofs and additional parking to major renovations in Harrison Dining Hall and our Barnes & Noble Bookstore. And next on the horizon is to secure funding for a new initiative: a $30 million academic building.

However, it’s certainly not all about “bricks and mortar” as much as we strive to enhance our living and learning environment. Please do not forget that everything we do from Welcome Weekend to our annual Scholars Day is intended to celebrate our #1 priority — Student Success. We honor the idea that there is a scholar in each and every student, and our engaged academic community is committed to fostering a process of discovery and growth that supports student achievement. But as you well know, a Brockport education is not just about what happens in the classroom. As a campus, we strive to reveal to our students all that they are capable of — intellectually, physically and creatively. This multi-dimensional approach to education strengthens the whole student, preparing him or her to enter the world with purpose and confidence. It is all of these things and more that make The College at Brockport an extraordinary educational opportunity. In the coming months and years, we will turn our attention to sharing our pride in our College with the Greater Rochester Area and regions beyond.

One of my favorite traditions is Academic Convocation, welcoming new freshmen and transfers each year. On August 26, prior to the candlelight ceremony, I also threw out the first pitch at The College at Brockport’s Alumni Day at the Red Wings’ Frontier Field. It’s a small wonder that I remembered to switch hats from a Golden Eagle baseball cap to my mortarboard and academic regalia that Sunday afternoon.

Speaking of wearing many hats, one of my summer duties was to welcome our new Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Anne Huot, PhD and our new Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs Katy Wilson, JD. Already, both are adding fresh new ideas to our administration and working collaboratively with continuing members of

my executive team. Much is predicated upon our Matrix: An Integrated Approach to Planning and Accountability — unanimously endorsed by the College Senate last spring.

In addition to our traditional Homecoming Weekend in September, we also launched Family Weekend this October; a weekend designed especially for parents and families to experience student life. A great success, including a breakfast we hosted on our Burlingame House lawn, this event is certain to become a beloved tradition.

This is a time of great vitality for The College at Brockport. I am joined in my leadership by a superb President’s Cabinet and President’s Advisory Council, our dedicated volunteer boards, including the Alumni Association Board of Directors, a College Senate that represents the best in shared governance, and fresh new leadership for Brockport Student Government. Once again, this current year is full of promise and will undoubtedly bring new challenges, creative ideas, and great opportunities to advance our College.

Having just walked the entire campus as we commenced spring semester 2008, I can assure you that there is much you can be proud of as alumni and friends.

Best wishes,

John R. Halstead, PhD President

College Embraces

James F. Hamm, art conservator, restores one of 72 paintings in the College’s E. E. Cummings collection.

Most people are surprised to learn that famed poet E. E. Cummings had a passion for painting. Many are also surprised to learn that The College at Brockport is in possession of a collection of the poet and painter’s valuable works of art.

Indeed, Cummings, best known as one of the most significant American poets of the 20th century, also was a prolific painter, creating perhaps thousands of works. And The College at Brockport is not only in possession of the eclectic collection, it is taking steps to restore it to as close to its original condition as possible — a project that we believe Cummings, himself, would approve.

The collection, which came to light during Interim President John Clark’s tenure at the College, has been embraced by the College and the Greater Rochester communities. In October, the College and community came together for an exciting gala, aptly titled Poet & Painter: The Twin Obsessions of E. E. Cummings hosted at The College at Brockport MetroCenter.

The gala spotlighted the poet and painter, featured presentations by a number of Cummings scholars, and showcased paintings which have been “adopted” by patrons for restoration. The event Red Barn and Silo, an E. E. Cummings original, was adopted by President John R. and Mrs. Kathy Halstead in October at the also presented the opportunity Cummings Gala. To date, 39 of the 72 paintings in the College’s for attendees to adopt paintings Cummings collection have been adopted. during the evening of the benefit and thereafter.

At the same time, an article about the College’s Cummings collection appeared in The Wall Street Journal, and the Rochester, NY, public radio station WXXI, interviewed Dean of the School of Arts and Performance Frank Short about the collection. The article and radio interview also created excitement about the collection, leading to the adoption of additional paintings. Of the 72 paintings in the collection, 39 have been adopted and are already slated for restoration.

Short was once again interviewed in January by Brenda Trombley, WXXI, for a national broadcast on National Public Radio, to be aired in the coming weeks.

In addition to restoring the artworks to their original condition, the College intends to construct an archival storage facility to house the paintings as well as to exhibit the works and make them available to scholars.

How the E.E. Cummings Collection Made Its Way to Brockport Since the highly publicized kickoff of the “Adopt a Painting” campaign, which is supporting the restoration of The College at Brockport’s collection of E. E. Cummings’ artwork, many have wondered why James Sibley Watson Jr. chose Brockport to be the recipient of his personal collection of 72 original Cummings paintings.

Research by Mary Jo Gigliotti, associate librarian, Drake Memorial Library, has uncovered many connections between Watson’s family and the College, reaching all the way back to the 1800s.

Shortly after John G. K. Truair (1818-1899) married Marcia Manning he became the fourth principal of the Brockport Collegiate Institute, serving from 1848 until 1853. Marcia Manning Truair served briefly as associate and teacher of French at Brockport. Marcia’s sister Caroline Matilda Manning was preceptress at the Institute, and also taught drawing, and then French and Italian during her tenure (1850-1853).

There were other ties between the Manning family and the College. Several Manning young men were students at Brockport during Truair’s tenure as principal: Charles H. Manning attended 1852-1853, Samuel Manning attended 1850-1853 and Horace C. Manning attended 1852-1853.

Then in 1855, Caroline Manning married Don Alonzo Watson (1807-1892).

Together, they had three children, including son James Sibley Watson. James S. Watson married Emily Sibley and they had a son, James Sibley Watson Jr. James Sibley Watson Jr. married Hildegarde Lasell and went on to revive and publish the literary magazine The Dial, which featured the works of many of the finest writers and artists in the country, and introduced the literary and artistic work of E.E. Cummings, who had become a good friend of the Watsons. The collection of Cummings’ artwork that Watson and his second wife Nancy donated to the College, with the help of Distinguished Professor Emeritus Philip Gerber, is named in honor of Hildegarde, who died in 1976.

The Hildegarde Lasell Watson Collection of Artworks by E. E. Cummings now serves as a tribute to the family’s rich history and their legacy to the College.

Politically Correct

By Mark Ball ’98

The College at Brockport has the unique distinction of being a small college with a large political stature. In New York state there are three senators and two assemblymen with Brockport roots.

Making New York vibrant is on the top of the to-do list for Senator Joseph A. Griffo ’78. And as long as he has a list, and public support, Griffo plans to serve the state as leader of the 47th District representing Oneida, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.

“There is always an issue that will really have an impact on how people live their lives,” Griffo said. “This gives me an opportunity on a daily basis to confront a variety of challenges that impact the community.”

For Griffo and his four esteemed colleagues, The College at Brockport helped prepare the way for life as public servants in New York’s political arena.

Mike W. Cole ’94, Assemblyman, 142nd District

Timothy P. Gordon ’82, Assemblyman, 108th District

Mike Cole didn’t wait for the election results to come in before starting work at the Capitol. Cole spent his last few months as an undergraduate in Brockport’s Albany Semester.

“Through that experience I really became intrigued by the inner workings of government in Albany,” Cole said, adding that he was drawn in by the pace of the work and the opportunity to be involved in the “argument of the day.”

After Brockport, Cole earned his Juris Doctor and was admitted to the bar in February 2001.

While representing parts of Erie and Niagara Counties in the Assembly, he also maintains a small law practice. His main focus at the state level is tax relief.

“My experience at Brockport not only provided me with a strong educational background in government, but… an opportunity to work hands-on in the Legislature. Those four years fostered in me a desire for public service that remains today,” Cole said.

Cole and his wife Lori ’93 live in the Village of Alden with their daughters, Emily and Allison.

When you are sitting with the mayor of Jining, China, it is always good to be able to reflect on lessons learned in history class. Timothy (Tim) Gordon recently found himself in that situation.

“Because of what I learned from John Killigrew, (professor of history emeritus), I was able to throw some questions to the delegation and demonstrate that New Yorkers have some insight into the history of China,” Gordon said.

Gordon also gained a worldly perspective during college thanks to a semester at Brunel University in London, through The College at Brockport’s foreign exchange program.

Gordon’s insight resulted in him being the first Independence Party member elected to the New York State Legislature in 2006.

As assemblyman in the 108th district, Gordon is responsible for parts of Albany, Columbia, Greene and Rensselaer Counties.

In his leadership role, Gordon helped secure $30 million in emergency aid for dairy farmers and has worked to advance renewable energy legislation.

Gordon is founder of Albany Media Group, an advertising and public relations firm serving small businesses and not-forprofit organizations. Involved in the community, Gordon has volunteered as a Little League and Girls Softball coach, Sunday school teacher, and is an active member of the North Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department, receiving the department’s Heroic Effort Award in 2004. He lives with his wife, Christine and four children in the Town of Bethlehem.

Joseph A. Griffo ’78, Senator, 47th District

Antoine M. Thompson ’93/’97, Senator, 60th District

When he thinks of great strategists, the names of professors emeritus Raymond Duncan, Robert Getz, Harold Rakov and John Crandall, and professor of communication Floyd Anderson come to Joseph Griffo’s mind.

“Not only were they large personalities, but they were able to relate to the students they were teaching,” said Griffo. In Harold Rakov and John Crandall, Griffo remembers men who were able to bring considerable real-world understanding into their classroom discussions.

“They brought it down to a micro level,” Griffo said. And Anderson introduced rhetorical theory in a way that enticed the future senator to take more communications courses.

Prior to his election to the State Senate, Griffo served as the Oneida County Executive.

In 1991, Griffo was elected mayor of his hometown of Rome, NY. He served in that capacity for 11 years — elected three times.

Griffo lives in Rome, with his wife Lorraine.

A community leader and an adept researcher — those qualities have carried Antoine M. Thompson to the New York State Senate and distinguished him as a proud Brockport graduate.

While at Brockport, Thompson was a dual major in American and African-American history. He credits professors Owen S. Ireland, Department of History, and Felix N. Okoye, Department of African and American History, for helping to prepare him for his most recent endeavor. He also credits the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) and the Collegiate Science Technology and Education Program (CSTEP) with influencing his college experience. Today he fights hard to make sure New York students get the best possible public education. “As a New York State senator I am most proud of my ability to increase funding to public schools,” Thompson said.

After Brockport, Thompson studied government and social change at the University of Ghana, West Africa.

On January 3, 2007, Thompson was sworn in as New York State Senator for the 60th District, representing parts of Erie and Niagara Counties. When he’s not speaking in front of his political colleagues, Thompson can be heard on Western New York on the Move, a weekly radio broadcast.

Thompson is married to Merle Thompson, with two children Deja LaShay and Joseph Antoine Alexander.

All five leaders credit their College for preparing them for political success. And all said they’ve enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with other Brockport graduates who are working in many different fields to better their communities.

Joseph E. Robach ’80/’82, Senator, 56th District Life in the political spotlight requires the ability to work with all types of people. Senator Joseph E. Robach developed that skill, while earning his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Brockport.

“Not only did I profit from Brockport academically but, also socially… The variety of people attending Brockport helped me appreciate the diversity of New York state and helped to prepare me for my tenure in the State Legislature,” Robach said.

Senator Robach is the New York State Senate representative for the 56th Senatorial District, which encompasses the towns of Greece, Brighton, Parma and most of the City of Rochester. Before his election to the Senate, Robach served as an Assemblyman for 11 years, filling the seat vacated by the passing of his father, Roger Robach.

With political service in his family, Robach had a desire to serve at a young age. However, he credits Brockport’s master’s in public administration program for solidifying that desire.

“I am the most proud of earning a reputation for being an accessible, community-oriented legislator with the ability to relate to a diverse constituent base. My experience at Brockport helped me earn this reputation,” Robach said. “Brockport provided me with a solid foundation for a career in public service.”

Senator Robach is married to Anna (Delano). The Robach’s, who live in Greece, have three children — Lindsay, Rachel and Roger.

Child’s Play

is This Man’s Full-time Job

By Virginia E. Campbell ’89/’96

to toe with me and made me what I am. There also were Dick St George (Richard St George, professor of theatre), Gary Musante (lecturer), and other wonderful people who I looked up to, including Dr. Bakshi (Sri Ram Bakshi, professor of theatre) and Clyde Morgan (professor of dance). I have so much respect for them all. And I have a lot of love. A lot of love.

“I believe a mentor isn’t necessarily someone who is assigned to you, but is someone who sees you from a distance and is there along the way to help you up, give you a pat on the back; they’re there at the right time. These people always were there for me.

When I was in College, I had taken one of Dr. Cho’s tests. I got a 72 on it. When I went in and talked to him about it, I told him I had worked very hard studying for the test. His reply was, ‘Obviously not hard enough.’ He wasn’t budging. He wasn’t going to change that grade. He knew that I had given him only 72 percent of me that day. I can’t walk into a classroom today and give just 72 percent to those kids. They’re brilliant. They know when you’re there 100 percent.”

Glover understands the connection between storytelling, teaching and learning important lessons, a craft that has been handed down from generation to generation, and is as important in today’s electronic age as it was before the innovation called movable type. “I want to take storytelling and make it a part of formal education. I am doing a program I call “Scales and Tales,” which is all about animals. I tell the story and then my associate brings in all the creatures that I’ve talked about.

“I want to make an impact on children. Show them the beauty of theatre. Teach them about the stuff that’s inside of them and lessons in life — how to live a balanced life, and about work and self discipline. I want to help teach them universal truths by example,” said Glover.

Glover is passionate about his life’s calling, and about his family. He and wife Kimberly make their home in the Rochester area with daughter Madeleine, now six. “I met Kim when I was doing a presentation at a conference. When I saw her walk into the room, I went ‘wow.’ I flirted with her the whole time I was presenting, to the point that someone said, ‘Should you really be flirting with that lady over there?’ I said ‘Is it that obvious?’ and Kim’s face turned red, and she said ‘Yes, it is that obvious. You’ve been hitting on me the whole time.’ But then she told me that she had changed the workshop she had planned to attend that day so she could come to mine. So I guess that makes us even.”

It’s easy to see that Glover is happy with who he is and what he is doing with his life. He’s giving back — and in a big way. He says, “If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.”

For Kenneth “Tiny” Glover ’87, having the chance to spend his days enjoying the laughter and spontaneity of children was something that seemed just too good to be true. Today, however, the professional storyteller, teaching artist and stand-up comedian is doing just that — making child’s play his full-time job.

Glover performs at elementary and middle schools, on college campuses, and in clubs throughout the US and Canada.

“I get to work with children every day and hang out with them and laugh. The arts create a level playing field that helps children who may be struggling academically. I can identify with this because it was theatre that got me through high school and then college,” said Glover.

Besides his in-person presentations and work with children, Glover has sunk his roots deep into the publishing business, founding Out of the Woods Productions, which currently includes the publishing of children’s books, videos, DVDs and CD-ROMs. While at Brockport, Glover majored in theatre and minored in the College’s arts for children program.

He remembers how he first learned about Brockport’s theatre program. He was a student at the of the Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) when he met Gisela Fritzsching, a member of the Brockport faculty who had brought a group of Brockport students to perform at FLCC. “She was phenomenal. She did an improvisational workshop with her students, and this had followed right on the heels of some children’s theatre that I had done. She told me about a program in which I could do drama for children. That’s all I had to hear. The next thing I new, I was headed for Brockport.” said Glover.

Glover attributes his professional and personal success to what he received from the faculty in the Department of Theatre. “This program has gotten me to where I am today. I would go to schools with Gisela when she presented workshops. It felt incredible.

When I graduated, I started getting involved in arts programs throughout the Rochester area, all because of Gisela and Dr. Cho (Oh Kon Cho, professor of theatre) who was very much about discipline and working hard. He stayed on me, stood toe 62

Brockport Alumnus and Heat Things Up in Valley of the Sun rewards risk-taking and doesn’t punish failure,” said Casap who was on campus last spring to talk to students about their career and life options. He also was on campus to discuss Google Apps for Education with the Brockport technology team. “I’m here to talk about the benefit of using Google Apps for Education as a technology solution for all students. I was responsible for helping Arizona State University launch Google Apps. Now, they’re saving $500,000 a year.”

At Google, typical work attire is jeans, t-shirts and flip-flops.

“It’s not how you dress, but what you know. We like to say that you don’t need to wear a suit to be serious,” said Casap.

“Google is a flat organization that believes organizations should be run from the bottom up. Google is run by project teams, and we don’t need a lot of top-down management because most of our teams are self directed and self managed,” said Casap. Google believes that two heads are better than one, so most Google offices have open floor plans where employees are encouraged to collaborate and help each other. “It’s such a great place to work and yes, part of why is because of all the benefits and perks you hear about, but more importantly, there’s just so much excitement from working in a room with some of the most intelligent people you’ll ever meet. This is what keeps you always at the top of your game,” remarked Casap. Google’s famous perks include free food and shuttle service, medical services, dry cleaning, massage appointments and haircuts on campus.

Casap, the father of two — a daughter, Elaine, age 14, and William, age six — grew up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, the child of a single mom. “I try to instill the same character in my own children that my mom worked to instill in me.”

Others have inspired Casap to strive for the best that life has to offer and to strive to offer life the best he has to give. At Brockport, Stephen Ullman, professor of political science and international studies, also had a major influence in developing Casap’s belief system.

“Dr. Ullman encouraged me to apply to Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, but at that time I didn’t have the same confidence in my abilities that Dr. Ullman did. So I didn’t pursue that path. Now I know that if I had taken that path, it would have worked for me. Even so, the confidence that Dr. Ullman had in me has served me well.

“The most important thing faculty can do for their students is to give them an environment in which they can find their own voice. I remember how I enjoyed debating with Billy Reed (professor of communication emeritus) and with all my teachers. I really enjoyed the intellectual challenge. It helped me to learn what it is that I am passionate about. The grades I earned didn’t mean as much to me as did the opportunity to engage in lively debate. At Google, I’ve found a place where I can be this passionate self I learned how to be at Brockport,” said Casap.

Jaime Casap ’87/’91 at his desk at Google, Inc., where he works with fellow “Googlers,” as they like to call themselves.

Originally, Jaime Casap ’87/’91 wanted to fix government.

Today, he works for Google Inc. and is trying to fix how people and organizations search and use the Internet. “At Google, we’re changing people’s lives. I recently heard a report on NPR (National Public Radio) on adoption. A woman was talking about how she used Google to keep track or her daughter’s academic and sports career. She said that Google changed her life,” said Casap.

Following his time at Brockport where he earned undergraduate degrees in communication and political science, he accepted a scholarship from Arizona State University where he earned a master’s in public administration. He returned to New York and was a member of former New York State Governor Mario Cuomo’s administration, working to fix the broken welfare system. Today, Casap, along with fellow Googlers, as they’re called, is working on some of the world’s most challenging computer science problems. In addition, Casap is a faculty associate at Arizona State University where he teaches graduate classes on organizational development, leadership and innovation, and where he recently received the honor of Faculty Associate of the Year.

As a project manager and one of the office leads, Casap focuses on everything from managing complex engineering projects to helping maintain the Google culture in the Phoenix, AZ office.

He also is responsible for the office’s public relations, community development and cultural affairs. It’s his job to help build and maintain the Google culture within the organization, which encompasses the idea that employees are encouraged to “live out loud” by participating in open debates. “Google is a company that 27

Holding Vigil More than 250 Brockport students, faculty and staff gathered at a candlelight vigil to honor the memory of those who lost their lives during the Virginia Tech tragedy.

the most amazing French student ever. Meanwhile, I had probably told her I was married to my brother.

Whenever I passed Madame on campus she called me by name and tried to get me to speak French. She encouraged my stumbling attempts and didn’t mind when I changed to English.

I moved on and on to upper-level classes, and I was very serious in my work though it didn’t matter a hoot if I got an “A.” But wow, I was a student on this campus! What ho! The beginning of hokie.

On Monday, April 16, I was still at home when I heard there had been a shooting on campus. School wasn’t yet closed, but I had decided it was best not to go.

My little friend Stephanie (I call all my classmates my little friends because they are so much younger), called and said she didn’t think we should go to class. I told her I had already called in and that students would most likely stay home.

I think by now we knew of the second shooting, and Stephanie, who is also vice president of the French Club, said she had looked up what classes were in Norris. When she said Madame was in class there, I knew Madame had not fared well. I just knew. For the next 36 hours I worried and asked about her. But no one yet knew names.

We later knew for sure the French class had had victims. The president of the French Club kept in close touch with us all, but whenever I asked about Madame, he just said he had not yet heard.

For a while this was true.

Just before the convocation, Stephanie got to me in person and told me Madame had died. And then we went to the convocation with all the French professors and our classmates. The professors seemed to be more concerned with the students than themselves. We all felt hollow but kept it together by being together.

The town intertwines. Truly. Zero degree of separation is only slightly exaggerated. Wanda’s daughter sits next to Sylvie in class.

They are just little girls dealing with the incomprehensible. This is just one story in a town so tiny that if you have three friends you ultimately know everyone.

Most of us have turned off the news. We are gathering and remembering with each other and anyone who is here. The special thing about being in this town is that it makes you a Hokie.

To see that my alma mater is thinking of us matters. To think I have been so lucky to study in both places!

In December, I will have the papers that say I am a Hokie. By virtue of living here, I now know I never needed them.

Thank you all for thinking of us. We are really sore on the inside and that will last a bit. We will heal. We are the Hokie Nation and you are a part of that.

Hokie Proud Shortly following the Virginia Tech tragedy, Mike Andriatch ’85, executive director of alumni relations and major projects, received the following e-mail, which is printed here with the permission of the author. The letter speaks for itself, and needs no further introduction from the editor of Kaleidoscope.

For no particular reason, immediately after graduation, I moved to Blacksburg, VA. In the 20 years I have been here, I have worked for Virginia Tech for the Alumni Association, in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE), and Safety Performance Solutions.

From the moment I set foot in this town I was gobsmacked by the unity and spirit. Whoa! I wanted to be a Hokie.

Ultimately, I married a Hokie. In 2003 I was tired of being what I called a “Hokie-in-Law.” I transferred my entire journalism degree from Brockport and enrolled at Virginia Tech as a French major.

I had minored in French in Brockport and was rather enamored with Dr. Petit (Bernard “Bernie” Petit, professor emeritus, foreign languages), and as a transfer student it really wouldn’t take me that many classes to finish the major. It didn’t matter anyway. I would just take a class at a time as a sort of hobby — all to become a Hokie.

My first semester was in Intermediate French. I didn’t need to take it because it had transferred, but the 20-year gap hindered me. My professor was Madame Jocelyn Couture-Nowak. She was so striking.

I was secretly glad I wasn’t older than she was. Going to school with 18-year olds was a bit disconcerting. Yikes, I started just after my 20-year high school reunion.

On the second day of class, I called Madame beforehand to tell her I hadn’t done my work, because the bookstore didn’t yet have our books. I was all stirred up and crazy she would think I was not a good student. “No, no, no,” she said. “This is the same for all the students.” She kindly put up with my intensity and encouraged me to continue.

Midway, another friend and I realized we had Madame in common. Wanda’s second daughter went to school with Madame’s daughter Sylvie. We all met Sylvie because one day she had to come to class. We loved having this little one correct our French. At the elementary school carnival, I delighted in using French to introduce Madame and Sylvie to my husband. She nodded to me as if I were

Kristen Clark Inducted into JP Morgan Chase Basketball Tournament Hall of Fame When The College at Brockport aluma Kristen Clark ’03 stepped to the podium at the 2008 JP Morgan Chase Scholarship Basketball Tournament dinner in January to accept her place as the newest member of the JP Morgan Chase Tournament Hall of Fame, everyone listened closely to learn if she would share the secret to her success both on and off the court. They weren’t disappointed.

The business administration major shared how she had grown up with a basketball in her hands, and how her experience at Brockport changed her attitude toward basketball and life. At Brockport, she was a leader for the Golden Eagles (1999-2003) and named SUNYAC Player of the Year, earning Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Honorable Mention All-America status.

Clark also was honored at the dinner as one of the top scorers and rebounders to play in the week-long event with athletes from eight Rochester area colleges and universities as they prepared for the Chase Tournament, the largest and longest running NCAA Division III basketball tournament in the country.

Alumnus and Assistant Coach to Lead Brockport Baseball Justin Beach ’03 takes over a baseball program that has emerged as one of the top teams in the region, including an appearance in the 2004 Division III College World Series and a six-year run of qualifying in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Tournament. He succeeds Mark Rowland ’95 as head coach.

At Brockport, Beach captained the Golden Eagles to a then school-

record 31 wins as a senior outfielder. He accepted a position as a graduate assistant in the Department of Physical Education and Sport and earned his master’s in athletic administration. He has coached the team for the past four seasons, helping them to a 108-64 record, four appearances in the SUNYAC Tournament and a trip to the College World Series. At age 26, Beach becomes one of the youngest NCAA baseball coaches in the country.

“Justin has been a great asset to the baseball program for the past six years as a player and assistant coach. I am sure he will continue the success of the program,” said Director of Athletics Lin Case. “I am honored to have the opportunity to take over the Brockport baseball program and am looking forward to building on the team’s recent tradition of success,” said Beach.

Football Moves to New Jersey Athletic Conference The Golden Eagles are leaving the Atlantic Central Football Conference (ACFC), making the jump to the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) with a guaranteed nine-game conference slate and an available automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament to the conference championship. The Golden Eagles open their 2008 season at home September 6 against NJAC opponent William Paterson. Homecoming Weekend, October 4, the team faces off against Rowan. The final game of the season will be at home November 15 when Brockport entertains Buffalo State in the annual I-90 Bowl. For the season schedule, visit www.brockport.edu/athletics. —KV

The College at Brockport is Going

• $ 50,000 through a no-cost contract in which the College is reimbursed on a kilowatt hour basis for our response to electrical curtailment requests (actual or test) of approximately $12,000 per year.

These funds are in turn used for various capital improvement or major repair projects, further reducing the College’s energy consumption.

Performance Contracting Some additional little-known facts: • The College leverages the energy costs avoided in projects that have an energy conservation component.

• Annual avoided energy costs are used to immediately fund additional conservation projects with payback financed over time.

• Processes, including financing and overhead processes, are financially “neutral” or provide a positive payback in cost avoidance to the campus.

• Current projects leverage $8.5 million of funded capital projects into $12.1 million of facilities improvements.

Brockport colors have always been green and gold; but now, the College is raising its standard even higher. With growing concerns about depleting natural resources and global warming, conservation has become everyone’s concern. Addressing its own concern for the environment, the College continues to look for opportunities to conserve the earth’s limited resources, cut pollution and reduce energy costs.

That’s why the College is reducing the number and size of some publications, and distributing electronic versions of others, including the 2005-2006 Annual Report. By going electronic with the Annual Report, the College saved tens of thousands of dollars in publishing and mailing costs, and, more importantly, will save 16,250 pounds of paper — more than 200 trees — for just this one publication!

Additional benefits gained from the College’s energy program, include: • Improved facility reliability, particularly in heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems.

• Reduction in future capital costs.

• Better quality of life for the campus community.

• Reduced maintenance demands for equipment breakdowns.

• Environmental improvements.

The 2005 – 2006 Annual Report is published online for your review at www.brockport.edu/alumni/RollofDonors/.

Grants, Rebates and Incentives to Improve Energy Efficiency There are numerous other actions being taken by the College to reduce energy costs and help preserve the environment, including the College’s Energy Conservation Program, which focuses on reducing energy costs by making capital improvements to buildings campus wide.

Faculty and Students Park and Walk Brockport’s second annual week-long Walk/Bike Brockport event last April encouraged students, faculty and staff commuters to give their cars a rest, and walk or bike to school and/or work.

Participants parked in designated parking areas and walked/biked to campus or walked/biked from home if they live close enough.

Along the way, they stopped at one of the on-campus or village check-in stations and obtained a raffle ticket. Those participating in the event at least three days during the week were included in a raffle to win one of a variety of prizes donated by local merchants.

The event promoted good health practices with increased exercise, and the reduction of ozone-depleting gases by reducing the burning of fossil fuels by car engines.

The College at Brockport has been awarded $580,000 in just the past few years, including:

• $ 290,000 in Petroleum Overcharge Restitution (POCR) funds, which are being used to assist in financing major energy efficiency projects.

• $241,000 in New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) incentives for costs of installing highly energy efficient equipment and systems.

Letter from Mary Worboys-Turner “I can’t know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.”

— Ralph Abernathy, Civil Rights Activist Dear Alumni and Friends,

to their communities, multiplying the impact of your gift many times over. Your decision to give to The College at Brockport has the potential to improve the quality of life for all.

It is with sincere gratitude that I extend my thanks on behalf of the Foundation, the College and our students for your continued generosity. By taking on a leadership role with your philanthropy, you do indeed hold the future in your hands.

The 2006-2007 Roll of Donors, on the following pages, lists the College’s supporters. On behalf of all of the alumni, volunteers, faculty, staff and students, we say, thank you!

As I reflect on the enthusiastic philanthropy we have experienced at the Brockport Foundation over the past year, I am reminded of a quote by Civil Rights leader, Ralph Abernathy, “I can’t know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.”

You, committed friends, hold the future of The College at Brockport and the lives that are transformed here.

This year, 5,724 generous donors contributed more than $1.8 million in private support to the College. Your continued investment enables scholarships, program enhancements, academic enrichment and so much more, allowing us to keep our promise to provide a high quality, multi-dimensional education to all of our talented and engaged students.

Your reasons for giving are as diverse as our student body, but the impact of your generosity is singular. Not only do our students benefit, but our region also is strengthened and enriched by the commitment, discipline and integrity our alumni bring

Warmest Regards,

Mary Worboys-Turner Chair, Brockport Foundation Board

Hunter Institute on Young Children Established Gift Supports the Study of Early Childhood Education

school and elementary school teachers face daily. “We purposely funded this Institute with a CRT and a CGA so we can be involved in its inception and growth while guaranteeing its long term future and success” said Wil Hunter.

“Young children will benefit greatly thanks to the generosity of Wil and Judy Hunter,” said President John R. Halstead.

“We hope the work of the Institute will result in a better understanding of how young children learn and how to help them in the classroom. Pre-school education is critically important to a child’s future. If we can teach young children to be comfortable in the classroom, they will gain significant self esteem and will be able to accomplish virtually any goal they set for themselves, academically, physically and socially,” said Judy Hunter, a preschool teacher for 20 years at the Ogden (NY) Community Christian Pre-School until her retirement in 1999.

Judy is a graduate of East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, Class of 1965.

Wil Hunter has been a member of The Brockport Foundation Board since 1990, serving as its chairman from 2001 to 2003. He is the retired president and CEO of Optem, a Rochester-based custom optical instrument design and manufacturing company he co-founded in 1984 following a 19-year career with Bausch and Lomb Inc.

President John R. Halstead celebrated the new Hunter Institute on Young Children, made possible by the generosity of Willard and Judith Hunter, and announced Kathleen Peterson-Sweeney as the director of the new institute. From left: John R. Halstead, Wil Hunter, Judith Hunter, Kathleen Peterson-Sweeney and Christine Murray, dean, School of Professions.

Pre-school aged children will be the benefactors of the newly established Hunter Institute on Young Children at The College at Brockport.

Established with both a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) and a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) from Willard and Judith Hunter, the Institute will focus on the numerous issues that pre-

Alumni House Renovations The College at Brockport’s Alumni Association recently added a new green lamorite slate roof to its historic Alumni House, thanks to the work and donations of local businesses. And Brockport alumnus Gary Skoog ’65 contributed to the latest round of upgrades by completing the job of painting the exterior of the house. “I wanted to treat the house with appropriate respect,” said Skoog, who owns Skoog Farm in Brockport, NY, and who is experienced in historic home renovation.

In 1984, the state gave the title of the building to the Brockport Alumni Association, which has maintained the house over the years. More updates are planned for the future.

Hosting an Event? The Alumni House is Available to Rent The Alumni House, located at 142 Utica Street, is used for Brockport Alumni Association meetings, special events and College meetings. Non-College individuals and groups also may rent the house for functions. If you or your group are interested in renting Alumni House, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (585) 3952451 or visit www.brockport.edu/alumni.

“Alumni House serves the needs of our 70,000 alumni around the world, but it also is available for the members of our local community to rent and enjoy. We have hosted hundreds of events over the past decade, all of which contribute to the quality of life in our region,” said Mike Andriatch ’85.

Matthew Robinson and Clayton Cole perform in the Brockport Festival of Ten production of the 10-minute play, Untitled #2.

Theatre Students Perform in Hungary Last May, Brockport Department of Theatre students performed three plays from the 2007 production of Festival of Ten at the Eighth Annual English Language Drama Festival hosted by the University of Debrecen in Hungary. The students were invited as special guests of the festival as part of the newly created exchange program between the two institutions. Students participating in the program included senior Clayton Cole, freshman Matthew Robinson, senior Kyle Leonard, freshman Lauren Miller, senior Coletta Fry, and freshman Eric Yengel.

The three 10-minute plays — The Wake by Ed Vela, Untitled #2 by Jim Gordon and Beauty of the World by Peter Gruen had their European premieres at this year’s festival.

Peter Szaffko, the festival’s director, emphasized “how important it is for Hungarian students to see plays in English performed by native speakers.”

Donald E. Morse, university professor and resident American, praised the Brockport students for their performance on stage and their deportment off.

“These students were proud of their work, took it seriously and had great fun. I’d be glad to welcome them back any year.”

College Dedicates “Natatorium” in Honor of Beloved Coach James B. Fulton coached and taught at the College for 38 years. students and Brockport alumni.

Mike Andriatch ’85, executive director of alumni relations and major projects, was master of ceremonies, and The College Brockport President John R. Halstead welcomed the guests, including Fulton’s widow Alice Mae Fulton, and his daughter, JoAnne Fulton Weiss.

Alumni came from across the country to honor their former coach and mentor, and to share the impact Fulton had on each of them — President and CEO of Turner International Nick Billotti ’73, cross country; long-time teacher and coach in Rochester, NY, Charlie Dean ’68, swimming, and current coach of the Golden Eagles, Greg “Doc” Kenney ’66.

“The name Jim Fulton, like his contemporaries Tuttle, Rogers, Whited, Boozer and Parker, is synonymous with the great early era of physical education and sport at the College. They taught and coached the youth of this campus who went on to lead academic and sports programs across the state and nation, becoming leaders in their schools and communities. The work ethic and values instilled in them by Mr. Fulton and these other great men were legendary,” said Andriatch, who also remarked that, “Jim Fulton was a man of high character with strong moral and ethical values.

Jim Fulton did things the right way. That was how his success was measured, both in the pool, on the cross country course, and, most importantly, in life.”

James (Jim) B. Fulton taught and coached in the Department of Physical Education and Sport at The College at Brockport for 38 years (1948-85) and was a 1986 Athletic Hall of Fame inductee. He coached swimming for 20 years, winning 78 percent of the team’s dual meets and three of the first five State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Championships. He also helped develop all nine of the College’s All-American swimmers. SUNYAC has honored him for his tremendous career by annually recognizing the Outstanding Senior Male Scholar-Athlete honoree as the “Jim Fulton Award” recipient. These are just a few of the reasons The College at Brockport honored the memory of James B. Fulton by naming the Tuttle North swimming facility the James B. Fulton Natatorium in a ceremony November 2. The ceremony was attended by family, friends, colleagues and Fulton’s former

New and Expanded Options Allow Alumni Greater Accessibility to Career Services The College at Brockport’s Career Services Office recently added to the services they offer and changed a number of others, providing alumni greater accessibility to career assistance. Whether alums are seeking services in the Greater Rochester Area or at locations around the globe, help is close at hand.

Spring 2006 saw the grand opening of the Career Services Satellite Center at the Brockport MetroCenter. Located in the heart of downtown Rochester, the Satellite Center offers individual appointments weekdays and designated Saturdays with Phyllis Griswold ’73/’99, career counselor, who recently joined the career services staff. Convenient evening drop-in hours — a much-welcome service for working alumni — also provide opportunities for alumni to receive personal attention. Visit the Satellite Center Web site at www.brockport.edu/ career/metrocareers for hours and more details.

For alumni who are technologically savvy, Career Services offers an electronic résumé drop-box. Students and alumni can e-mail their résumé, cover letter, curriculum-vitae, or other career related questions to csresume@brockport.edu and receive timely expert feedback from career services professionals.

The Office of Career Services also recently began offering an instant messaging (IM) service that is accessible to AIM, Yahoo! and MSN IM users. With IM, alumni have instant access to a career services professional staff member. The screen name for this service is Brockportcareers. Check the Career Services Web site at www.brockport.edu/career for the IM schedule and complete list of studies.

As always, alumni may access services on the Brockport campus daily, Monday through Friday, whether for a quick résumé review or a more in-depth career conversation with a staff member. Alumni are always welcome to call, e-mail or come in during drop-in hours.

Career Services Creates Award-winning Survey Tool The SUNY Career Development Organization has selected Brockport’s “Use of the Banner Survey Tool to Conduct the Alumni Placement Survey” to receive this year’s SUNY Excellence in Programming Award. The award was conferred in the “Office of Operations and Procedures” category.

The survey was prepared by Brendan Post, Office of Information Technology Service’s (ITS) learning systems team leader, and was supported by ITS Senior Software Designer Patricia Pfister and Dan Murdoch, senior banner project coordinator.

Mariangela Ardino, assistant director of career services, accepted the award at the SUNY Career Development Organization’s June conference in Canandaigua.

From Cambodia with Love Following is a letter from Brockport alumna Sandi Smith ’94, pictured above with the children at her orphanage, written to Jennifer Hecker, department of art professor. Hecker thought other Brockport alumni would like to read over her shoulder to learn what Smith has been doing the past few years.

Hi Jennifer, In October 2005, I packed up my life and moved to Cambodia. I’ve been living here ever since. I work with an organization called NCLO, and I am the operations director of the NCLO Children’s Home and Educational Center. In a nutshell, I run an orphanage. We took in our first child in March 2006, and we now have nine children living in our home. They are amazing kids, all coming out of really disturbing backgrounds… from living in the dump to extreme poverty to extreme abuse. They are incredibly strong and resilient. They amaze me on a regular basis.

We have room in our current house for another seven children and we are hoping to have those beds filled soon.

I love living in Cambodia. It’s SO different… nothing like Brockport to say the very least. There are days when it can be a bit overwhelming, as it is a bit dangerous and more than a bit frustrating. The country is still in a stage of development after being destroyed under the Khmer Rouge, and the government is corrupted beyond imagination. There are plenty of muggings and robberies. There are no rules for driving, so you literally have to watch your every move, even when you are walking on the sidewalk as cars and “motos” drive right up them. Medical care is very scary.

It is safer to just not go to the hospital than it is to go… if I am ever injured to the point of requiring medical care, I would end up going to Thailand. People there are wonderful, but they are not able to project out at all. Due to the years spent living under the Khmer Rouge and literally living from minute to minute, they just cannot seem to plan ahead, or think forward, even an hour or two. They literally think in the moment they are in, and then they deal with the consequences later. It’s a bit frustrating as I’m sure you can imagine. But, I love it. The good far outweighs the bad. The kids make it all worth while for me.

Our first child just hit his one-year anniversary with us, and he has changed so much it’s amazing. He was living in a cardboard shack on a pile of garbage in the city dump. He had lice and skin parasites so bad that we had to shave his head, and it took almost five months to get his skin clear. He also was severely undernourished, and had never been to school a day in his life — he was nine years old at the time.

Pretty scary. But, he is doing great. He has grown almost six cm, and has gained about six kilos. He’s in school and is consistently in the top three of his class. He’s just such a great kid. I’m really proud of him and how hard he has worked this past year.

Anyway, I won’t make this any longer. I actually need to get to bed…it’s getting pretty late on this side of the planet.

Take care, Sandi Smith 23

College Celebrates 140th Commencement The College at Brockport celebrated the College’s 140th Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony and its 57th Graduate Ceremony, Saturday, May 12, with more than 1,200 undergraduate students and approximately 225 graduate students taking part in Commencement 2007. Approximately 2,200 undergraduate and 400 graduate students were eligible to commence—students who either fulfilled their academic obligations the previous December, completed them in May, or who finished up final requirements no later than August.

Brockport alumnus Vince Gonzales ’90, a CBS news correspondent in Los Angeles, gave the commencement address for the Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony, and alumnus Edward Doherty ’81, vice president for community programs at the Rochester Area Community Foundation, gave the commencement address for the Graduate Commencement Ceremony.

Gonzales was an assistant producer for CBS News’ “Up to the Minute” and held a number of production and administrative positions at CBS News. He is best known for his work on numerous investigative reports, which have been broadcast on the CBS Evening News. He has won several awards for his work, including two Columbia University Alfred I. DuPont Awards, an Emmy, Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Award and Society for Professional Journalists Award.

Gonzales received a bachelor’s in political science and communication/journalism from Brockport, earned a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and studied at the Graduate School of International and Public Affairs, also at Columbia University.

Doherty earned a master’s in public administration from Brockport. He previously served as commissioner of environmental services for the City of Rochester.

Out of Adversity Came Friendships That Last a Lifetime

By Mark Ball ’98

“Don’t give up.” Those are the words and life story of Sophia Charles ’04, who has started a local support group for individuals with traumatic brain injuries.

Charles had just completed her freshman year at Brockport when she suffered a brain aneurism. The aneurism left her in a coma for eight days fighting for her life. Unlike many with the condition, Charles won her battle.

“My parents said the first thing I said when I woke up (from the coma) was, ‘I have class on Monday and there is a party in Buffalo on Friday,’ ” Charles said. “The doctors called it a miraculous recovery.” The partying would have to wait, however, as she couldn’t walk, had difficulty talking, and suffered short-term memory loss and aphasia (the inability to recall words). Systemic lupus, a debilitating disease that she was diagnosed with after the aneurism, compounded Charles’ health problems.

After a year of frustrations with physical therapy and many restrictions on what she was allowed to do, Charles returned to Brockport to resume working toward her degree in physics.

“Reading, writing and spelling — you name it and I had problems with it,” Charles said. Despite the advice of many to select a less challenging major, she continued with physics, completing her degree eight years after she started.

Charles takes pride in her degree (she plans to continue on in the future) and believes that her experience in the Department of Physics is a major reason why she still lives in Brockport. Her battles with lupus and the after effects of her aneurism forced her to learn new ways to complete her work, and to repeat some of her classes. While she struggled toward her degree, Charles found genuinely supportive professors and staff who helped her along the way, including her physics professors who volunteered to drive her to doctors’ appointments. She continues to spend many holidays with Phyllis Lista, the department’s secretary who is now retired, and Charles continues to volunteer in the department office.

“Sophia is unique. I recently asked her why she took physics and she told me, ‘Because it was hard,’” said Richard Mancuso, professor emeritus and former Department of Physics chair.

Charles’ experience wasn’t what led her to start the support group, however. For that inspiration she looked to her mother. In 2001, Charles’s mother had a stroke and as a result suffered many of the physical hardships that Charles had been dealing with.

After watching her mother struggle and feeling as though she was not getting the help she needed, Charles decided to start a local support group, which meets every month at the Seymour Library.

The group also is writing a book that will give guidance and information to people with brain injuries. “I would love to know why (I recovered from the aneurism),” said Charles. “Hopefully I’m going in the right direction.”

To learn more about the support group, contact Charles at (585) 637-5965.

Alumna Presents National Alliance Scholar Lecture

David Howland Frances Moroney Whited

Jane E. Clark ’68, professor and chair of the Department of Kinesiology and professor in the Neuroscience and Cognitive Sciences Program at the University of Maryland, gave the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Scholar Lecture on campus in November. Clark is an expert in human motor development whose career spans 40 years and has taken her from the classroom to researcher and administrator.

Clark traces her success as a teacher and researcher back to her roots at Brockport. Initially Clark wanted to become a physical education teacher, then developed a deep desire to understand how children develop motor skills. She chose Brockport for her undergraduate education because 1. She knew that she wanted to become a teacher of physical education; 2. Brockport was one of two schools in the state offering the program, and 3. Tuition was affordable — just $50 a semester. But it was a chance encounter with then Department Chair Jean Ball that sealed the deal for Clark.

Clark and her family had arrived late for a tour of the College, and as they approached the Tuttle South facility, Ball was just leaving and locking the door behind her. Ball immediately reopened the building and personally escorted Clark and her parents on a tour of the facility. “My mother immediately knew I would be in good hands here at Brockport and she was right,” said Clark, who to this day in memory of Ball will leave her desk and personally escort potential students and their families through her building at the University of Maryland.

At Brockport, Clark developed a life-long friendship with Chris Rider ’68.

Clark and Rider first met as freshmen roommates. “Chris and I still keep in touch today. She studied abroad in 1966-67 at the University of Beirut with Rosie LaSorte (Rich) (education and human development) who established the Beirut program. She was evacuated out of Beirut during the Arab Israeli Six Day War and surprised me one day when she turned up at Brockport mid semester,” remembered Clark. Clark has maintained her connections to the College over the years as well, attending a recent the D’Agostino Memorial Lecture and keeping up to date on College news via Kaleidoscope and the Alumni ENewsletter.

Upon graduating from Brockport, Clark was offered an assistantship at the University of Washington where she was a teaching assistant for two years. She later taught at Purdue University as a golf and swimming instructor for three years before she decided to obtain her PhD at the University of Wisconsin.

Clark became interested in human motor development after she observed children who weren’t able to perform normal motor skills.

Clark has spent the last decade on understanding motor development and says the key question is, “How does the brain get connected to the muscles,” pointing out that it takes 10,000 hours of practice before an individual becomes master of a skill, such as playing golf, effectively throwing a football, or playing a piano fluently.

Clark has co-edited seven texts in motor development, authored 22 book chapters and 46 referreed journal publications. In 1993, Clark was elected Fellow of the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education, a society limited to 125 active scholars in the field of kinesiology, and is currently president of the Academy.

Honoring a Golden Eagle Who Flew to Great Heights

Belva Browne Norma “Jerry” Rentsch Florence Skelton

Retired Air Force Col. John F. Groom ’42 took pride in serving his country; so much so that he made it his lifelong career. Col. Groom passed away at the age of 87 and was buried August 8, 2006, with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, DC. Col. Groom, born August 21, 1918, commanded the Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team at Nellis Air Force Base in 1962 when the team flew supersonic F-100 Super Sabres. He later served as an airstrike advisor, reporting to Army Gen. William Westmoreland in the Vietnam War. John Groom Jr. said his father was in training during World War II and flew B-29s in the Korean War, and that “The height of his career was really in Vietnam.” He also was a key player in the evacuation of Tripoli where he was responsible for evacuating US citizens from the city. Col. Groom was honored for his service to his country in the Congressional Record in July 2006. Upon his passing, Jon C. Porter, member of Congress, said, “Colonel Groom was a remarkable asset to this country and he will be missed.”

Groom married his wife Barbara in 1944 and until retirement from the Air Force in 1970, the couple was on the move. They lived overseas while stationed in Libya, and upon his retirement the couple moved to Switzerland where they lived for more than two years. They returned to the US, living in Las Vegas for 15 years prior to his death.

In addition to serving his country, Col. Groom also took great pride in his Alma Mater and supported the College as a member of the Golden Eagle Society and active contributor to the College.

He also is survived by another son, Tom, four grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

For its initial program, the Institute will conduct a one-day conference for educators, faculty and college students focusing on early childhood education. The conference, intended to become an annual event, will address critical issues in childhood education, such as supporting the home environment to foster education, identifying challenges to learning in young children, and insuring healthy environments for learning. The Institute also will foster collaboration between The College at Brockport and the early childhood professional community. Longer range plans call for the creation of a college-level, credit-bearing course.

Funding also will support an annual student assistantship for a

College at Brockport student to work within the Institute.

Kathy Peterson-Sweeney, nursing, will be the first director of the Hunter Institute. She has been on the faculty of The College at Brockport since 1985, teaching in the area of pediatric nursing.

“My goal as director of the Hunter Institute is to create an interdisciplinary approach to issues of young children that will enable faculty to collaborate on common areas of interest and to share that knowledge with early childhood educators and childcare providers throughout the greater Rochester region,” she said.

Letter from the Vice President For Advancement Dear Friends,

I

t is hard to believe that the New Year is well underway and that spring is just around the corner. The time goes by so fast! At the College, we measure the seasons by the coming and going of our students – the anticipation and energy of a semester’s start and the sense of accomplishment that accompanies the semester’s end. But the work of advancing the College and supporting our outstanding students through scholarships, enhanced academic programs, and other activities does not ebb and flow with the academic calendar; rather, it is constant. Our commitment to the College and our students never wavers, and we know that neither does yours.

Your continued support makes so much possible. It is evident in the increased academic quality of each incoming class, the enthusiasm with which students embrace campus life, and in the achievements of our graduates. Through your generosity, we can provide the multi-dimensional education that sets us apart from our peers and allows our students to explore the full measure of their interests and talents. We take great pride in our well-rounded, purposeful graduates who approach the future with confidence and promise, and go on to become engaged members of their communities – and we hope that you do, too.

We recognize the invaluable role you play in our students’ success and for that I offer my most heartfelt gratitude. But of course our work is never truly done.

We hope that you will join us as we rededicate ourselves each day to advancing the important work of the College and providing life-changing educational experiences for the students of tomorrow.

Warmest Regards,

Roxanne Johnston Vice President for Advancement President, Brockport Foundation
