Pompea College of Business facility funded by pair of benefactors

NEW HAVEN – The University of New Haven broke ground for a new on-campus home for its Pompea College of Business during a special ceremony on Sept. 18. The $45 million state-of-the-art four-story, 50,000-square-foot facility will be constructed at the southeast entrance to the university’s main campus at the corner of Campbell Avenue and Ruden Street, a major campus crossroads, creating a new gateway and highly visible “front door” for the university. The building is being funded entirely through donor philanthropy, including principal gifts from longtime benefactors and alumni Dennis Martin, and his wife Barbara, along with Charles Pompea and his wife, Tamera, who have contributed more than $25 million. In honor of the Martins’ generosity, the building will be named Martin Family Hall, home of the Pompea College of Business, celebrating Dennis’ and his family’s dedication to supporting the university’s com-

mitment to the school. In July, the Martins committed an additional $5 million challenge gift to inspire additional support for the University. Their commitment will be fulfilled once fellow donors collectively match the $5 million gift, which the university is nearing. The Pompea family has long been among the university’s most dedicated philanthropic partners and is the namesake of the Pompea College of Business. A former chair of the University’s Board of Governors, Pompea continues to serve as a member of the board. “This pioneering facility is both an investment in the future of business education and a powerful testament to our donors’ strong belief in the university, our vision, and our students’ unlimited potential,” said Jens Frederiksen, president of the University of New Haven. “We are charting the future of business education. This new facility will be a dynamic hub for innovation and experiential learning, delivering an unparallelled return on investment for our stu-

ART

dents and preparing them to excel as leaders in a rapidly evolving global economy.” The new building will feature such elements as an AI, business analytics & financial trading room, executive boardroom, the Sussman Family Sales Institute, and a business pitch classroom. “These transformational spaces reflect our belief that the best way to prepare students for extraordinary careers is through meaningful, real-world experience,” said Pompea College of Business Dean Brian Kench. “By combining cutting-edge technology with experiential learning, we will continue to position our graduates to excel as well as advance our exceptional post-graduation outcome rates.” The architect of the building is Grace Designs from St. Louis and the contractor is Consigli Construction Co., a leading company that has worked on projects from Maine to the Caribbean. Consigli reports that the project is creating an estimated 35 jobs, including approximately 25 that will be filled by residents of West Haven.

Ex-state Budget Director Diamantis flees country; pension payments halted By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

BRIDGEPORT – Former state budget director Kosta Diamantis – who served under Gov. Ned Lamont – has fled the country instead of facing a judge’s sentencing for 21 counts of federal charges that included bribery, conspiracy and false statements related to abuse of his state position overseeing school construction contracts, according to U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill. Diamantis’ attorney Norman Pattis informed Judge Underhill in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport that his client had left the country with the intention of returning to Greece, where he is a dual citizen. Diamantis was convicted of bribing construction companies of more than $8 million for school construction contracts in Hartford, Tolland and New Britain. Diamantis faces between 121 and 151 months in prison, a penalty that Pattis said his client had asked to be lowered or that he would face the rest of his life in jail. Upon learning of Diamantis’ disappearance, state Comptroller Sean Scanlon stopped monthly pension payment of his $6,287 that

he has collected since he was convicted on Oct. 22, 2025, according to published reports and the right-wing conservative think tank Yankee Institute. State Attorney General William Tong released a statement regarding pension revocation for Diamantis “Kosta Diamantis abused the public trust and will be held accountable,” Tong said. “His disappearance this morning is a shameful insult to every person in Connecticut and will not deter our efforts to fully protect the state’s interest and taxpayer dollars. State law requires that my office take action to revoke or reduce the pension of state or municipal officials convicted of corruption-related charges. We are reviewing all legal options to fully enforce the law.” Lamont, who is seeking a third term on Nov. 3 against GOP nominee Ryan Fazio, released his own statement. "Kosta Diamantis betrayed the public’s trust and needs to be held accountable for his actions,” the governor said. “His repeated efforts to skirt justice are shameful. I hope he is apprehended and made to face the music as soon as possible."

JOURNALIST SHARES DIAMANTIS STORY

Kosta Diamantis, former state budget director under Gov. Ned Lamont, has fled the country as he faced sentencing on bribery and conspiracy charges.

Westfair Business Journal | September 28, 2026

Meanwhile, former Bristol Press reporter John Springer, who covered Diamantis in the 1990s, posted on Facebook about having a “sort of going away” dinner with Diamantis a month ago. The journalist, who lists “Morning News Editor for MSNBC” as his current job on his LinkedIn profile, stated that Diamantis told him, “I will not spend a single day in prison.” Springer, who includes Diamantis as one of his closest friends, wrote that he thought the former state budget director was in denial or was referring to a wish for a presidential pardon. “Now, don't get me wrong. I cannot/ do not condone what he did. He violated the public trust. I am a law-andorder guy,” Springer wrote. “But on a personal level, I wish him well in exile. At 70 years of age, 10 years in prison would have been a death sentence. “For what? Shaking down a few businessmen trying to game a corrupt system? Helping his best friend's fiancé navigate a government audit for a fee? His latest exploits notwithstanding, he had 40+ years public service to his credit that no one wants to acknowledge. Anyway, best of luck old buddy. Send a postcard!”

$20M pledged to Burke Rehabilitation By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Burke Rehabilitation in White Plains is the recipient of a $20 million philanthropic challenge pledge. The pledge was made through Bill Ackman and his wife Neri Oxman. Burke will need to raise an equivalent amount in order to “unlock” the challenge pledge. Burke said that the Ackman/Oxman Challenge will serve as a cornerstone investment to launch the organization’s “Unlock Possible” capital campaign. The $20 million challenge pledge will establish an endowment that providing Burke with a sustainable source of funding every year, creating lasting financial support, Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal was told. In its announcement of the challenge pledge, Burke said that the challenge pledge will “match dollar-for-dollar philanthropic commitments raised by Burke, up to $20 million, to advance rehabilitation technology, transform patient care environments, expand clinical programs,

and ensure more patients have access to intensive rehabilitation across the continuum of care when they need it most.” According to internet biographies, Bill Ackman is the founder and chief executive of the investment management company Pershing Square Capital Management. He was raised in Chappaqua. Neri Oxman is a designer who has been a professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab. Her artworks have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Science in Boston and the Centre Pompidou cultural center in Paris. Ackman and Oxman are co-trustees of the Pershing Square Foundation, which was was established in 2006 as a family foundation. Pershing Square Philanthropies, which includes the Pershing Square Foundation, has committed more than $930 million in grants and investments in health and life sciences, education, economic development and innovation.

“I know firsthand how world-class rehabilitation following a life-altering event has the power to change lives,” Ackman said. “I believe deeply in the Burke mission and in the immense power of intensive rehabilitation to restore hope, dignity, independence, and quality of life. My daughter Lucy’s experience navigating traumatic brain injury reinforced just how critical expert rehabilitation care can be. Burke not only helps patients recover physically; it gives families confidence, optimism, and a path forward during incredibly difficult moments. Supporting the advancement and expansion of this work is both deeply personal and profoundly important.” According to Scott Edelman, executive director of Burke Rehabilitation, “This is far more than an investment in an organization; it is an investment in hope, recovery, resilience, and the life changing impact of rehabilitative medicine. As the demand for highly specialized rehabilitation continues to grow, this gift will allow Burke to continue advancing the future of rehabilitation medicine while helping patients regain independence, restore dignity, and rebuild their lives.”

Fire causes some damage to Dragon Coaster at Playland By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

A fire late on Sept. 19 slightly damaged the iconic Dragon Coaster at Westchester County’s Playland Amusement Park. The fire appeared to have been touched off by an electrical problem and caused flames on a small section of the wood structure. Playland is closed for the season and no injuries were reported.

“We are grateful to the Rye Fire Department for their quick response and for extinguishing the fire. Thankfully, the damage can be repaired by Playland’s maintenance team and we expect that work to take place during the fall,” Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said. “We know how much the Dragon Coaster means

to generations of Playland enthusiasts, and we appreciate the concern we have heard from so many Dragon Coaster fans. Rest assured: this Dragon will rise again for Playland’s 99th season.” According to the City of Rye, “at approximately 8:43 p.m., Rye Fire Department crews were dispatched to 100 Playland Parkway for a reported fire in the area of the Dragon Coaster. Firefighters arrived on scene in under four minutes and encountered an active fire involving the coaster." Rye said that because of the size of the wood coaster and the potential for the incident to develop into a larger and more complex fire, additional resources were immediately requested.

Westfair Business Journal | September 28, 2026

Rye said that its firefighters quickly stretched a hose line and started putting water on the fire, bringing it under control within approximately 15 minutes of arrival. “Mutual-aid companies from Larchmont and Harrison assisted Rye firefighters with extinguishing remaining hot spots,” Rye said. “Once the incident was stabilized, the Port Chester ladder and Rye Brook engine were reassigned to cover the City of Rye and provide continued fire protection while Rye units remained committed at Playland.” Rye said that Westchester County’s Cause and Origin Team responded to investigate the fire and that the Westchester County Police Department also was at the scene. The final Rye fire unit left the scene at approximately 11:14 p.m.

SEC sanctions former Pleasantville investment adviser

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has barred a former Pleasantville investment adviser, who misappropriated $2.4 million from an elderly and incapacitated client, from associating with anybody in the securities industry. In anticipation of a SEC administrative order, Clarice Saw, 60, offered to settle the matter. And on Sept. 21, the agency accepted her offer, "in the public's interest." The SEC administrative proceeding refers to allegations the agency brought against Saw in a 2023 lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court. The SEC accused Saw of using a fraudulent power-of-attorney document to defraud retired janitor Fusheng Jiang. Jiang did not understand English, so Saw, who shared the same ethnic background and spoke his native language, represented him, according to court records. She knew that Jiang, then 87, had inherited money from his wife's life insurance policy and that he had no immediate family. Saw persuaded Jiang to sign a broad, power-of-attorney document by presenting it as a health care proxy, according to court records. While Jiang was incapacitated in a nursing home, she used the document to add her name to his bank account as a joint owner. She liquidated his brokerage account, transferred $2,449,801 to the joint bank account, then moved all but $1,809 to her own bank account. Jiang, according to court records, did not authorize the transactions and was unaware of them. Saw used the money to buy a car, make mortgage payments, travel, dine, and buy things, according to a court record. U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe granted summary judgment to the SEC in 2025. This past April, he ordered Saw to pay $1,379,319 in ill-gotten gains, interest and a civil penalty.

Battles in U.S. war on cancer being waged at White Plains Hospital By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

al’s unique cancer. “Any cancer in a particular person is going to have unique antigens or proteins. It’s going to be different from me, to you, and any other individual,” Costin said. Costin pointed out that mRNA vaccines can be created much faster than can traditional vaccines. “When you’re diagnosed with cancer you’re on a clock and you need to create that vaccine in a timely fashion so that you can have the maximum impact,” Costin said. “In 2021 they knew that the platform worked because they were creating the mRNA vaccines against Covid, so they said, ‘let’s do this now with cancer.’ They looked at melanoma, they looked at lung cancer, they started many different clinical protocols at different stages of these cancers.” Costin said that data so far show that the mRNA approach against melanoma reduces the risk that the cancer will return, allows patients to live longer, has minimal side effects and is

Back on Dec. 23, 1971, then-President Richard Nixon signed into law the National Cancer Act of 1971, which amended the Public Health Service Act of 1944 and launched what Nixon described as the country’s “war on cancer.” In addition to establishing the National Cancer Institute, granting authority to establish a National Cancer Program and calling for the creation of 15 new cancer research centers, the new sent a message that the nation was deadly serious about fighting the deadly disease. While the war has yet to be won, enormous progress has been made in curing some cancers and enhancing survival times and quality of life for many other patients. Recently the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Rasonque, a pill taken daily, which was shown to double the survival time of many patients with pancreatic cancer, one of the most difficult cancers to treat. Pharmaceutical companies Moderna and Merck in August announced that data from a Phase 3 clinical trial showed that an mRNA vaccine prevented the recurrence of the deadly skin cancer melanoma. Some of the battles in the war on cancer have been and are being fought at White Plains Hospital’s Center for Cancer Care, which currently is participating in approximately 30 clinical trials to gather data on the safety and effectiveness of new drugs that might be useful in combating cancer. Dr. Dan Costin, director of the Center for Cancer Care told Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal that researchers have been focusing on the use of messenger RMA (mRNA) platforms to deliver drugs that have been developed to target an individu-

an approach that is likely to be proven useful against additional cancers. “We are one of about 100 different sites worldwide looking at using this vaccine technology for our lung cancer patients that have what we call high risk early stage lung cancer,” Costin said. “At White Plains Hospital we tend to look for clinical trials that are building on good, effective therapies. For example in our clinical trial for early stage lung cancer we know that good, effective surgery can cure seven out of 10 of our patients, so 70% of our patients are being cured. What can we do to build on that? A clinical study such as this one is going to build on that. We know that the early data on these vaccines indicate that potentially we’ll be able to reduce half or even more than half of those patients that recur and those patients that had been estimated to recur are now going to be cured of their cancers.” Costin said that in treating cancer everything that is done needs to be evidence-based and that evidence gathered through clinical trials provides support for being able to provide patients with the current standard of care plus something new that might make all the difference for them. “When we’re dealing with Phase 3 (after Phases 1 and 2 of a clinical trial), we’ve already established that the medicine should be helping patients and now you’re just trying to establish whether the new medicine that looks so encouraging can help patients more than the treatment we already have,” Costin said. “It’s very important that when clinical trials are done they are available at multiple sites and we also realize that in order to participate you have to have the infrastructure that allows that to happen. Clinical studies require a lot of time and effort. A patient that’s on a clinical study may require four to five times the workload than a typical patient because of all of the oversights and protections for the patient and also maintaining the integrity of the study to make sure that

all of the different checks and balances that are essential are being followed.” Costin said that cancer therapy has gone through different phases over the years and that when he began his career there were a fairly limited number of treatments available, which were not necessarily targeted at specific types of cancers. Costin has been practicing medical oncology and hematology in Westchester since 1993. He received his B.S. in biochemistry at the University of California in Los Angeles and his medical degree at the University of California in San Francisco. He completed his internal medicine residency at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston in 1990, his fellowship in medical oncology at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda in 1991, and his fellowship in hematology at New York University in 1993. He is the founding member of Cancer and Blood Specialists of New York and is its medical director. “Our approaches were more general: there was chemotherapy; there was radiation therapy; there was surgery,” Costin said. “Over a period of 10 to 15 to 20 years we started to be more precise in how we could treat the many, many different cancers we were managing.” Costin said that in 2010 doctors were able to begin using drugs that allowed the body’s immune system to recognize cancer cells they could not detect before and target them. “That was 16 years ago that the first patient received a checkpoint inhibitor, this form of immunotherapy. Now in 2026 we see that those forms of therapy could potentially cure very advanced cancer,” Costin said. “The future most likely is that if you’re diagnosed with cancer you’re going to get a biopsy, we’re going to send that tissue to a pathologist to confirm your diagnosis, and part of that tissue is going to be sent to a laboratory so they can create a vaccine that will be part of your therapy. This could be the next huge breakthrough.”

Greenwich breaks ground on 120-unit residential downtown community By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

GREENWICH – Lonicera Partners and Nimbus Properties on Sept. 18 celebrated the groundbreaking for Benedict Court, a 120-unit multifamily residential community downtown, along with Congressman Jim Himes, First Selectman Fred Camillo and other local officials. The development, whose address is 19 Benedict Place, is slated to be completed in 2028. Located just steps from Greenwich Avenue, the project is being developed through a collaborative process with the Town of Greenwich and Greenwich Affordable Housing Trust Fund to address a range of housing needs in the community while complementing the surrounding neighborhood. With 40% of the units offered at below-market rates, the apartment community will create new housing opportunities for both market rate and middle-income residents, the latter of which is central to the project. “This project represents the largest amount of new housing options coming to the center of downtown Greenwich,” said Jamie Anthony, a partner at Lonicera Partners. “Our development team worked very closely and collaboratively with town officials to create a thoughtfully designed residential community that aligns with the character and long-term planning goals of the downtown area. The location sits within an existing high-density commercial zone, which Town officials identified as a logical area to expand local housing availability.” The six-story brick-clad, mid-rise building will feature a mix of one-, twoand three-bedroom apartments with 10-foot ceilings and large floor-to-ceiling windows. More than half of the units will be two-bedrooms well-suited for empty-nesters or a small family and nearly

30% will be three-bedrooms to address the growing demand from families who want to stay in Greenwich without the burdens of home ownership. The community will also feature a suite of lifestyle-focused amenities, including a fitness center, resident dining room for hosting events, private library and coworking space, and a shared rooftop terrace, with unencumbered views of the Long Island Sound. Designed by NYC-based BKSK Architects, the building incorporates traditional New England-inspired elements – hand-set brick, historically proportioned windows, a corbelled datum, and a refined, neutral material palette, all of which were intentionally chosen to reflect the architectural character of Greenwich. Forty-eight of Benedict Court’s 120 residences – 40% of the building –will be available for the first time to moderate-income households, in collaboration with the town and Greenwich Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The program supports members of the local workforce, including educators, healthcare workers, first responders, municipal employees and service industry professionals, many of whom currently work in Greenwich but may not be able to afford to live there. “We worked with the town and came up with a new formula for affordable housing, something that has not been done in Greenwich, or for that matter in Connecticut, before,” said Phil Wharton, a partner at Nimbus Properties. “Benedict Court’s affordability mix meets Connecticut’s 8-30g statute and represents a way to provide housing options for those who work in town but can’t afford to live here but who also earn too much to qualify for conventional affordable housing. They’ve been stuck in the middle – until now. ”

Second phase of 21 Scarsdale Road project receives Yonkers IDA support By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

21 Scarsdale Road, Yonkers. Satellite photo via Google Maps.

The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency (YIDA) has voted to provide financial incentives for the second phase of a residential project at 21 Scarsdale Road. The developer is 21 Crestwood Owner LLC. The property already has on it a former office building that has been converted into a 100-unit apartment building as the first phase of the development. In addition, an existing accessory building on the property is used as amenity space for residents. Amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, bar-lounge, co-working space, a golf simulator and rooftop outdoor space. The second phase involves constructing a new building that would have 50 additional residential units. 21 Scarsdale Road, Yonkers. Satellite photo via Google Maps. In May of this year, 21 Crestwood Owner LLC purchased the approximately 2.87-acre property from UNO Crestwood LLC, located at the same address in Greenwich as real estate developer National Properties for $45 million according to documents filed with the Westchester County Clerk’s Office. The unit mix in the new building would be 10 studios, 15 one-bedroom apartments and 25 two-bedroom units, with parking on the ground floor. The cost for phase two is estimated at $24,855,284. 21 Crestwood Owner LLC is a related entity of Saber-Hightower LLC, which is based in Briarcliff Manor. The company says it has completed

more than $3 billion in developments nationwide covering multifamily, retail, mixed-use and hospitality. The developer estimated that the project will result in the creation of approximately 53 temporary construction jobs over an 18-month construction period. The YIDA approved incentives in the form of a 20-year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes), sales and use tax exemption benefits of approximately$734,688 and a mortgage recording tax exemption of approximately $284,250. The property at one time was owned by Sterling National Bank and used as its headquarters and administrative offices until early 2020. Later in 2020, a developer proposed converting the former Sterling building into a medical office building but did not move forward with the plan. The property is located in eastern Yonkers at the intersection of Scarsdale Avenue and Yonkers Avenue at the border with the Village of Tuckahoe. Because the zoning allowed industrial use as well as commercial, retail, restaurants and similar uses but did not allow residences, Yonkers approved a zoning change to allow apartments at the site. The existing building at 21 Scarsdale Road now is known as Trilogy Lofts. According to real estate agency listings, a number of apartments were available recently including a 793-square-feet one-bedroom apartment at $3,730 per month and a 645-square-feet studio apartment at $3,360 per month.

Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon plans $28M-$30M new building By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon is seeking approvals from the city for a plan to construct a new headquarters building at 50 East First St. in the city. The plan involves merging for tax lots into a single lot. The two-story building would be constructed on the 38,955-square-feet property. There would be 24 parking spaces provided. It’s estimated that the project would cost from $28 million to $30 million. The club is planning to raise $40 million to cover the cost and also establish reserve funding to help cover the club's estimated $2.6 million to $3 million annual budget. This application will need to receive approvals from Mount Vernon’s Planning Board, Architectural Review Board and City Council. The Planning Board moved to draft a resolution of approval for future consideration and at the same time declared its intent to serve as Lead Agency for the environmental review of the project. The property is located in the city’s Downtown Transit Oriented Arts District. Attorney Steven Wrabel of the White Plains-based law firm McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt LLP said that the club currently is headquartered at 350 S. 6th Ave. in Mount Vernon and has been there for 70 years. “Some of their facilities are a bit outdated and they have grown in those 70 years and those facilities are also a little small for their needs,” Wrabel said. Mel Campos, CEO of the club for the past 14 years, noted that the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon has been serving youth in the city for 114 years. He said that the existing site has served the club well but that it is now time to move. “We believe that at the new site we will be able to draw children city-wide,” Campos said. “In our current building for our after school program we have to divided it into two sections: between 3 p.m. and 6:30 we serve the 6- to 13-year-olds in our after school program and between 6:30 and 8:30 Monday through Friday we serve our teen population. Because of the size

of our building and the requirements that teens have a dedicated space the teens and the younger kids cannot be in the (current) building at the same time. At the new building we have dedicated space for the teens and will be able to serve the children from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.” Campos explained that at the current building they have a small kitchen which prepares 22,000 meals a year for the youngsters along with 22,000 snacks. The new building would have a full-size commercial teaching kitchen capable of preparing more than 30,000 meals a year as well as providing training for youngsters in the culinary arts. “Also in the commercial kitchen we will be able to provide space for community groups to have positive activities while being able to provide food and refreshments,” Campos said. “Another aspect of our new clubhouse will be 'makerlab' where we will be doing workforce development for our young people, preparing them to enter the world of work, allowing them to gain the skills necessary not only to get a job but to keep a job and begin to get the basic skills to have a trade.” Architect Rob Pfaffmann said a full-size gymnasium will dominate the footprint of the approximately 30,000-square-feet building. He said there will be a meeting area that will double as classrooms, a media center, cafe and game space along with planters for gardening and containers for composting. He said that the building will feature extensive use of glass to provide transparency and allow natural light to enter. He said that existing mature trees along sidewalks would be retained and new trees planted. Campos said that in its programming the club focuses on education, healthy lifestyles and the arts and community service. “They get education, they get recreation and they get social development,” Campos said. “For our teens, we focus on high school graduation and having a plan after college. We tell parents that when the child goes home they will be tired; hopefully they’ll go right to bed and come back tomorrow.”

Business Leaders Make the Case for Purpose-Driven Profit

he Business Council of Westchester showcased how social benefit is becoming a business imperative at the Tompkins Bank & Trust Power Breakfast, where leaders from fashion, food, law, and technology argued that companies can “do well by doing good.”

“With a perpetual purpose trust,” Singer explained, “the beneficiary is a purpose, which typically is the perpetuation of a company and its values.” Because those purposes are difficult to change, he said, the structure is designed to protect mission over the long term.

The September 15 seminar, “The Power of Purpose,” sponsored by Tompkins Bank & Trust, featured Amy Hall, Sustainability Strategic Advisor at the Eileen Fisher Foundation; Jeremy Kaye, Co-Founder of Spare Food Co.; Carolyn Sklar, VP of Communications at Danone USA; Doug Singer, Partner at Falcon Rappaport & Berkman; and Jessica Rich, Co-CEO of The Walker Group.

Hall traced how Eileen Fisher layered purpose into its operations over more than 40 years, beginning with wake-up calls on sweatshops and supply-chain conditions. Those pressure points led to deeper work on organic fibers, energy use, and more intentional philanthropy.

Singer opened by defining social enterprises as businesses that are “very intentional” about their internal values and the impact they have on employees, customers, suppliers, owners, the environment, and the community.

As one of the largest certified B Corporations in the world, Danone USA embeds impact into how it measures success.

“This company’s been in place for over 40 years, and From left Jeremy Kaye, Co-Founder of Spare Food Co; Heidi Davidson, Co-Founder and CEO, Galvanize Worldwide; Jessica Rich, Co-CEO of The Walker Group; Doug Singer, Partner at this work started Moderated by Dr. Heidi Falcon Rappaport & Berkman; BCW Senior Vice President of Events and Development Amanda maybe four years Davidson, Co-Founder DePalma; BCW President & CEO Marsha Gordon; Carolyn Sklar, VP of Communications at in, but we’re still and CEO, Galvanize Danone USA; Amy Hall, Sustainability Strategic Advisor at the Eileen Fisher Foundation; Lawrence Gore, Senior Vice President and Senior Wealth Advisor, Tompkins Financial evolving and Worldwide, the event Advisors and Gary Grandstaff, Senior Vice President, Commercial Banking Regional Manager, adapting,” said Hall, offered real-life Tompkins Bank & Trust emphasizing that descriptions of purposemeaningful change driven companies and in global supply chains is incremental. “You can’t do it all, practical strategies for aligning an organization’s mission, and you can’t do it overnight.” culture and business goals, among other insights.

He highlighted benefit corporations and newer structures like perpetual purpose trusts, where the beneficiary is not a person or a charity, but the company’s mission itself.

To understand that approach, said Sklar, “you have to accept a philosophy that purpose and performance are not mutually exclusive. They’re actually core to each other, and they fuel one another.”

SCHOOL OF NURSING DESIGNATED NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR NURSING CENTER OF EXCELLENCE NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The SCSU School of Nursing has been designated a National League for Nursing (NLN) Center of Excellence, the first public university in Connecticut to receive this honor. The school, recognized in the category of “Promotes the Pedagogical Expertise of Faculty,” is one of 20 nursing schools and programs selected as 2026 NLN Centers of Excellence™ located throughout the United States and representing the spectrum of higher education in nursing, from certificate-granting programs through advanced-degree academic institutions. Formal recognition will take place at the Honors Convocation during the 2026 NLN Education Summit in Washington, D.C., on Friday, September 25. “This is a significant national recognition,” said Michele Vancour, interim dean of the College of Health and Human Services. “We are proud to join 114 institutions nationwide, out of approximately 3,000, to hold this prestigious designation. And we’re honored to be one of just three institutions in Connecticut, and the only public institution.” The other two schools in the state to be recognized are Fairfield and Quinnipiac universities. Maria Krol, interim executive director of healthcare programs and professor of nursing, explained that the process of working towards this recognition unfolded over the past few years. About two years ago, Krol said, “we had the idea that we would want to work towards becoming a Center of Excellence, and we began to look into the criteria of what it would take to achieve that goal.” “In order to align our faculty with the new essentials and new competency-based education,” Krol said, “we started to invest in them by increasing their professional development and encouraging them to obtain certification as nurse educators. Research, writing, and being invested in curriculum became a focus.” Krol explained that she and her nursing colleagues then collected data, met with a consultant, and finalized a report. “We applied in April of 2026 and were notified in July that we had been accepted as one of the Centers of Excellence,” she said. The nursing faculty must maintain a high level of professional development and curriculum development in order to maintain the school’s certification, as it is renewable every four or five years, Krol said. “Congratulations to these well-deserving 2026 NLN Centers of Excellence. They truly represent the outstanding efforts of academic nursing leadership, faculty and students who collaborate to create programs that inspire and support the development of an outstanding nursing workforce,” said NLN Chair Yolanda VanRiel, PhD, RN, MEDSURG-BC, OCN, CNE, ANEF, FAAN, chair of the Department of Nursing, North Carolina Central University, and patient placement coordinator at First Health of the Carolinas-Moore Regional Hospital. “Earning the NLN Center of Excellence designation reflects the hard work and commitment by these nursing schools and programs to sustain innovation and excellence in every aspect of the academic experience, from classroom to clinic to campus life. We applaud the 2026 NLN Centers of Excellence and thank them for demonstrating values and actions that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary in nursing education,” said NLN President and CEO Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN.

HEALTH CARE

'World of Health Care' explores area's fastest growing sector By Georgette Gouveia / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

It’s the fastest growing sector in Westchester and Fairfield counties. But that doesn’t mean health care is free of challenges. The United States is seeing a shortage of nurses and primary-care physicians that is particularly acute in rural areas, said Brian A. Goldstein, Ph.D., dean of the College of Health Professions at Pace University in Pleasantville, which recently hosted, along with the Westchester County Association (WCA), the second “World of Health Care” forum on job opportunities in that industry. The lack of certain key players in health care is attributable in part to the limited number of spaces for training, Goldstein added. But there are other factors at play post-pandemic, including aging medical and patient populations that create low supply and high demand; increasing, and increasingly complex, insurance costs; stress and burnout; and the politicization of everything from maternal health to vaccines. And yet, there remains an interest among young people in seeing how they can contribute to the health-care sector, as demonstrated by events like

“World of Health Care” and college offerings. On Friday, Sept. 18, the event drew some 70 college students, faculty members and health-care professionals and recruiters from Westchester and Rockland counties to the campus of Pace, whose College of Health Professions features undergraduate programs in nursing and health sciences, with a minor in public health, as well as postgraduate degrees in subjects ranging from nursing to occupational therapy, nutrition and speech pathology. (The college educates 1,800 of the university’s 12,000 students.) Brian A. Goldstein, dean of the College of Health Professions at Pace University in Pleasantville. Courtesy Pace University. Part of what makes health care an attractive field, along with its viability, is its versatility, affording workers vertical as well as lateral opportunities. Goldstein, a trained speech pathologist with expertise in bilingual language development and disorders, is emblematic of that career fluidity, having made the transition to academic dean. Health-care career pathways was just one of the panels at the event, said Jason Chapin, director of workforce development at the WCA, whose Health Care Talent Subcommittee inaugurated “World of Health Care” last year at Mercy University in Dobbs Ferry. The other panels focused on essential skills and trends, the biggest of which is AI.

It would be hard to overestimate the amount of anxiety AI has generated at the moment, from the much-despised data centers to the fear of rogue players, like those OpenAI agents that infiltrated the platform Hugging Face in July, to a sense that few in corporate and government leadership have the willingness or capability to impose guardrails. “AI can be a tool,” said Chapin, who has more than 20 years of workforce development experience working for the City University of New York (CUNY) and the State University of New York (SUNY) systems, The WorkPlace and WCA on federal, state and foundation grant projects that have benefited more than 25,000 job seekers, including a nearly $10 million federal grant that trained 450 individuals to fill hundreds of health-care positions in the Hudson Valley. “But with AI you’re dealing with people and different aspects, including the ethical and the moral.” Already, AI is at work in the healthcare field — compiling patient notes, Chapin said; and, Goldstein added, offering a more in-depth look in mammography and other radiology and even predicting, at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, how and when patients might develop bed sores.

“The broader your education, the more you are able to do with it.”

opment at the Westchester County Association (WCA) in White Plains. Courtesy WCA.

Westfair Business Journal | September 28, 2026

But, Chapin said, panelists cautioned event attendees about AI’s limits. While it might be fine for the first draft of a résumé and cover letter, it shouldn’t be relied on for the final product. For that you need the kind of communication and interpersonal skills that Goldstein said Pace’s partners are looking for in new hires. And that requires an education beyond STEM that incorporates the arts and the humanities. However, with shifting demographics putting pressure on first-generation students and academic institutions for a practical education that will lead to a good paycheck, some colleges and universities are winnowing their arts and humanities programs, which are considered potentially less profitable. Not Pace, however. Indeed, the school is doubling down, Goldstein said, looking to team health-care students and the English department to develop their critical thinking and interpersonal skills, which are already being sharpened through live training and patient simulations using SimConverse software. Goldstein, who studied linguistics at a liberal arts institution, Brandeis University, before earning advanced degrees in speech pathology at Temple University, sees this as an “and” rather than an “or” solution: “It’s an emphasis on a combination of the humanities and the sciences that creates the skills employers are looking for.” The irony is that higher education remains by and large a ticket to greater wealth, although that picture is nuanced. According to Georgetown University’s Center for Workforce Development: “The lifetime earnings of a full-time full-year worker with a high school diploma are $1.6 million, while workers with an associate’s degree earn $2 million. However, at least one quarter of high school graduates earn more than an associate’s degree holder. Bachelor’s degree holders earn a median of $2.8 million during their career, 75% more than if they had only a high school diploma. Master’s degree holders earn a median of $3.2 million over their lifetimes, while doctoral degree holders earn $4 million and professional degree holders earn $4.7 million. However, one quarter of workers with a bachelor’s degree earn more than half of workers with a master’s or a doctoral degree.” Still, Chapin said, “The broader your education, the more you are able to do with it.”

Eye on Small Business — Libri CoffeeBooksFlowers Café, Yorktown Heights, revisited By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

Photographs by Gere Zabeli.

From left, Anita and Berat Bllaca, owners of Libri CoffeeBooksFlowers Café.

Eighteen months after opening Libri CoffeeBooksFlowers Café in Yorktown Heights, which the Westchester County Business Journal profiled in 2025, owners Anita and Berat Bllaca said the original vision for their café-bookstore-flower shop remains intact. But the realities of running a small business have inevitably changed how that vision is being put into practice. In an occasional series of new-business follow-ups, we revisited Libri to see how the business has evolved. “When we opened Libri, we had a very clear vision,” Anita Bllaca said. “We wanted to bring together three things we genuinely loved — coffee, books and flowers — and create a space that felt different from a traditional coffee shop or bookstore.” Since then, Libri has expanded its food and beverage offerings, added wine and beer and developed a program of author events, book clubs, children’s activities, chess events, live music and other community gatherings. One unexpected development, Anita described, has been the Libri Podcast, featuring conversations with authors, artists, journalists, public figures and others, allowing Libri to reach an audience beyond Yorktown Heights. But the Bllacas have also learned that ambition has to be tempered by the practicalities of running an independent business. “A small business cannot grow in every direction at once,” Anita said. “Some ideas have had to be postponed, simplified or changed because of cost, staffing, time or simply because the market showed us where the strongest opportunities were.” Rather than abandoning the original idea, she said, “the vision became more realistic and, in some ways, much bigger.” That realism has come partly from discovering just how complicated

Libri is to operate. The café includes not only books, flowers, food and events but purchasing, staffing, marketing, accounting, licensing and administration. “As owners, especially in the beginning, you end up being responsible for almost all of it,” she said. Seasonality has been another lesson. Expenses continue whether the café is packed or almost empty. “A small business has fixed expenses regardless of whether it is a beautiful Saturday with a full café or a winter day when very few people leave their homes,” she said. The business is still working toward a level of consistent profitability its owners want, although there are periods when it performs very well. “Profitability for a small independent business isn't simply about having busy days,” she said. “Rent, payroll, inventory, utilities, insurance, merchant fees, maintenance and many other expenses continue regardless of sales fluctuations.” Cash flow has also proved a sobering lesson. “You can have inventory sitting on shelves and money coming in through sales, while at the same time having significant payments going out for rent, payroll, vendors and new inventory.” Coffee has emerged as the strongest part of the business, because it encourages repeat visits. “Someone might buy a book occasionally, but they may buy coffee several times a week,” Anita said. However, as its name implies, books remain fundamental to Libri even beyond their direct sales. “They define who we are,” she said. “They create conversations, events, author relationships, book clubs and the atmosphere people associate with Libri.” Flowers have evolved most from the owners’ original expectations, in part because their perishability makes them a different business operationally.

Westfair Business Journal | September 28, 2026

“Today, I think of Libri less as three separate businesses sharing one building and more as one hospitality and cultural concept where coffee, books, flowers, events and conversations all support each other.” Perhaps the biggest surprise for the couple has been discovering how much customers value Libri simply as a place to spend time. “We knew people would come for coffee or books, but we underestimated how important the atmosphere and sense of community would become,” she said. “We've seen friendships form here. We've seen people come alone with a book or laptop and eventually become regulars.” The experience has also changed her understanding of the local market. “You cannot completely understand a market from demographic reports or business plans,” Anita said. “You learn it by opening the doors every morning and paying attention — what people order, when they come in, what events they attend, what they ask for and what brings them back.” If starting again, she would probably simplify the initial operation and pay even greater attention to cash reserves. “Small businesses need more financial cushion than most first-time owners realize,” she said, adding that “not every idea has to happen immediately.” The immediate priority now is to make Libri stronger and more consistently profitable. Beyond that are possibilities, including expanding events and Libri Podcast, attracting more authors and guests, strengthening the book business and potentially considering additional locations. “Ultimately, we want Libri to be known as more than a place where you buy coffee or books,” Anita said in wrapping up our conversation. “We want it to be a place where people discover books, ideas, stories and one another. “If we can build that into a financially strong and sustainable business, then we believe there is a much bigger future for Libri.”

IRMAA — THE MEDICARE SURCHARGE MOST PEOPLE NEVER SEE COMING Name/Nombre Ben Soccodato and Chris Kampitsis If you’re approaching retirement or already enrolled in Medicare, you’ve likely spent time thinking about health-care costs. Those monthly premiums, deductibles and copays can add up. But there’s one additional charge that catches many completely off guard, and it has nothing to do with how much care you receive. It’s called IRMAA, and understanding it could save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary Medicare expenses. But there’s one additional charge that catches many completely off guard, and it has nothing to do with how much care you receive.

What Is IRMAA?

How is it determined?

IRMAA stands for Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. It’s an additional charge — based on a tiered income scale — on top of your standard Medicare Part B and Part D premiums. It’s triggered when your income exceeds certain thresholds. It’s not a penalty for doing something wrong. It’s simply the federal government’s way of asking higher-income beneficiaries to contribute more toward the cost of their Medicare coverage. The surcharge can range from a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars per year depending on how far above the threshold your income falls, although the top tier is capped at $500,000 through 2028, so that someone making $500,000 a year pays the same IRMMA as someone making $5 million or $50 million. (Nearly 100% of those eligible use Medicare.) For married couples, both spouses are subject to the adjustment independently, which means the effect can be compounded. What starts as a manageable surcharge can become a major line item in your retirement budget if not planned for in advance.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn’t look at your current year’s income to set your IRMAA bracket. It looks at your tax return from two years prior. That means what you earned in 2024 determines what you pay in 2026. This two-year look back can feel unfair, especially when a one-time financial event inflates your income in a single year and then results in higher Medicare premiums two years later. By the time the bill arrives, many people have forgotten that a financial decision they made years ago was the cause. That’s exactly why proactive planning matters.

What can trigger it?

Can you appeal it? Yes. If you experienced a life-changing event that reduced your income such as retirement, divorce, the death of a spouse or loss of income-producing property, then you can request that the Social Security Administration use a more recent tax year to determine your IRMAA bracket. This is done by filing Form SSA-44. It’s not guaranteed, but for those who qualify, it can result in premium relief.

What can you do about it?

IRMAA isn’t only a concern for people with consistently high incomes. Certain onetime financial events can spike your income in a given year and push you into a higher bracket unexpectedly. Common triggers include: Selling a large asset. The sale of a home, a business or an investment property can generate a capital gain that pushes your income well above the IRMAA threshold for that year. Larger-than-normal retirement account distributions. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), early withdrawals or deliberate distributions taken to fund a major expense can all increase your taxable income substantially. Exercising stock options or selling large positions at a gain. For those with equity compensation or concentrated positions, realizing those gains in a single year can have an effect on income. Roth conversions. Converting pretax retirement dollars to a Roth IRA is a powerful long-term strategy, but it increases your taxable income in the year of the conversion, which can directly affect your IRMAA calculation two years down the road. Any of these events can result in a higher Medicare premium two years later. The good news is that IRMAA is not permanent. If your income drops back below the threshold the following year, your premiums will adjust accordingly.

IRMAA is something you can plan around, but it requires coordination between your financial plan and your tax strategy. The key is understanding which decisions may trigger a bracket increase and timing them thoughtfully. That may mean spreading a Roth conversion across multiple years rather than doing it all at once or being strategic about the timing of an asset sale. If you’ve had, or anticipate, any of the events listed above, it’s worth having a conversation with your adviser and your tax team well before the year closes. Small adjustments made proactively can make a difference in what you ultimately pay for Medicare coverage.

The bottom line IRMAA is one of those expenses that tends to surprise people precisely because it arrives two years after the decision that caused it. With the right planning, it’s avoidable, or at least manageable.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Study finds Increased spending by visitors to Westchester By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com Westchester accounted for 45% of all visitor spending across the Hudson Valley, by far the largest share of the six-county region. The county also generated $1.42 billion in tourism-supported personal income, which was more than the other five Hudson Valley counties combined. Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “Tourism is a powerful economic engine for Westchester. It … generates nearly $293 million in state and local tax revenue. Reaching $2.5 billion in visitor spending shows the enormous value of this sector to our economy and our residents. Westchester has built tremendous momentum, and we want to continue creating opportunities for our businesses, our workforce and our communities to benefit.” Westchester County Tourism & Film Director Natasha Caputo said, “Westchester has an extraordinary range of

Visitors to Westchester County spent $2.53 billion in 2025, an increase of 6.4% from 2024’s $2.38 billion, according to a Tourism Economics report on tourism spending in New York state. Tourism Economics is a group within Oxford Economics, which is headquartered in Oxford, England. According to Tourism Economics, in 2025 a total of 321.2 million visitors spent $97.6 billion in the New York economy, increases of 1.1% and 3.9%, respectively. Visitor spending generated a total economic impact of $152.7 billion statewide. The 6.4% increase for Westchester represents more than $150 million in additional visitor spending in a single year, while tourism supported 22,653 jobs and generated $292.8 million in state and local tax revenue in Westchester.

compelling reasons to visit, but having a great destination is only part of the equation. These results underscore why destination development and destination marketing need to work hand in hand and the opportunity we have to keep growing.” Westchester County pointed out that the visitor economy has expanded by more than 50% since 2021, growing from approximately $1.66 billion in 2021 in visitor spending to $2.53 billion in 2025, with gains recorded every year during that period. Westchester Hotel Association President Sean Meade said, “Westchester’s strength as both a leisure and meetings destination gives travelers more reasons to come and more reasons to stay. Our hotels and restaurants help turn that demand into overnight stays, longer trips and broader economic activity across the county.” The Tourism Economics study defined a visitor as defined as someone who stays overnight or travels more than 50 miles to the destination.

Westchester conducting survey of business owners By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Westchester County is conducting a survey of business owners to help identify the needs, challenges and priorities they’re dealing with. County Executive Ken Jenkins and the Westchester County Office of Economic Development announced the survey on Sept. 16. They said survey would take less than five minutes to complete. The survey has 34 questions. The survey can be found by visiting WestchesterCatalyst.com and via the Office of Economic Development’s social media channels (Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn) or

through this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K8CT73B Jenkins said, “We are asking Westchester business owners to share insights into the challenges and opportunities that their businesses are facing. These insights will help our Office of Economic Development to hone the resources and support available to our business community. Whether you are a new business owner or longtime business owner, running a for-profit business or non-profit venture, I encourage you to carve out a few minutes to take this important survey.”

Westfair Business Journal | September 28, 2026

Shari Rosen Ascher, who is the county’s director of policy and programs, small business and chambers of commerce said, “We understand that many businesses are facing unprecedented challenges, ranging from the rapid evolution of technology, including AI, to difficulties recruiting and retaining top talent, and barriers to growing their client base. Our goal is to gather insights from Westchester business owners that will help inform programs and resources to strengthen our local economy.” The Westchester County Business Survey is open to all local business owners and responses can be submitted through Oct. 8.

Whip Salon restrategizes under Brookfield couple’s ownership By Pamela Brown

When Kevin and Antonella Van of Brookfield were looking for a business where their combined diverse experience could have a meaningful impact, they landed on Whip Salon, a Ridgefield-based hair salon with six locations in Connecticut and South Carolina. In June the couple purchased the franchise that was started by Amy Pal of Ridgefield for seven figures. Founded in 2016, it comprises five Connecticut locations in Ridgefield, Newtown, Wilton, Avon and South Windsor along

with locations in Bluffton and Hilton Head, South Carolina. “Whip Salon has built a strong reputation over the past decade, and stepping into ownership at this milestone feels like both an honor and a responsibility,” Kevin Van said. “The 10-year mark is a chance to celebrate the foundation that was already built and look ahead to the next chapter. Our job is not to remake Whip Salon into something unrecognizable. It’s to strengthen the brand, support the team, and make the experience consistent for clients.” The Newtown location in Sandy

The Vans purchase hairdresser franchise from original Ridgefield owner Pal

Hook includes about 1,200 square feet and has 11 employees. It was the third franchise opened by Pal in 2019. Over the company’s 10 years, it has been nimble. It originally had salons in Fairfield and Westport before closing the Fairfield business and moving the Westport salon to nearby Wilton. Then recently it opened its South Windsor salon. The salon provides personalized, high-quality hair services in a modern, polished, upbeat environment that combines expert technique, thoughtful consultation, and genuine hospitality. The couple’s main focus is strengthening operations, supporting their teams, and creating a consistent guest experience, while allowing each salon to be connected to its own community. “The Sandy Hook Village location has a great neighborhood feel. It’s accessible, welcoming, and surrounded by other local businesses,” Kevin Van said. “That matters for a salon because we’re not just providing one-time services – we’re building long-term relationships with people who come back regularly and become part of the Whip Salon community.” John Voket, town economic and community development director, stated that businesses that can attract and maintain their own following are good for the community, providing a reason for people to come to town. “Whip Salon has remained sustainable from its grand opening through its ownership transition because it maintains a base of satisfied customers. Through my training with CT Main Street Center, I've learned that any business with a successful track record benefits the entire surrounding business community,” Voket said. As business owners, the Vans’ backgrounds align with the multi-location service business. Kevin’s career spans more than 20 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions as an investment banker across numerous industries. “My background has been helpful in looking at Whip Salon as both a creative brand and an operating company,” Kevin said. He focuses on the salon’s financial oversight, planning, reporting, acquisition strategy, systems, risk management and long-term business performance. Antonella’s expertise is on branding, culture, communication, and client experience. Voket noted succession planning is as important as continuity.

Westfair Business Journal | September 28, 2026

“It was a very astute move by the new owners to maintain that familiar brand at their familiar location. It’s brilliant that Kevin and Antonella were able to engage in next-generation planning by retaining the prior owner to help facilitate as seamless a transition as possible,” Voket said. “There's no greater confidence one can instill in a customer than by having a trusted departing business owner introducing or referring you to the new owner with confidence.” The Vans rely on the philosophy that great service business needs both people and systems. “The relationship between stylist and client is everything. Clients remember how they were treated, whether they felt heard, and whether they trusted the person guiding them,” Kevin said. “The systems make that experience consistent. Strong scheduling, clear communication, training, financial discipline, technology and operational standards all help the team do better work. We want Whip Salon to feel personal and warm, but also reliable and well-run. Success comes from a human, hospitality-driven culture supported by disciplined business operations.” Even with a strong foundation, the Vans continue refining the business. “We’re focused on strengthening what already works and making the experience more consistent across locations,” he said. “Our vision is for Whip Salon to be one of the most trusted modern salon brands in the region: a place clients love returning to and a place talented beauty professionals are proud to build their careers. “We want sustainable growth that protects the quality, culture and reputation of the brand. For Newtown, specifically, our goal is to be deeply rooted in the community and known for great hair, genuine hospitality, and a consistently positive experience.”

EDUCATION

Sacred Heart University students making the most of Manresa Wilds experience By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

FAIRFIELD — Sacred Heart University is using a $50,000 grant from Manresa Island Corp. to provide students and faculty with hands-on research opportunities at the site of a future public park called Manresa Wilds. The collaboration will help advance the transformation of the former Norwalk power plant site into Manresa Wilds. Led by Norwalk philanthropists Austin and Allison McChord, Manresa Island Corp. aims to restore the more than 125-acre Norwalk island that was home to a fossil fuel power plant for more than 60 years, through partnerships and private funding. As one of the founding partners of the newly announced Research & Education Station at Manresa Wilds (R.E.S.A), SHU is helping transform the site into a living laboratory for coastal research, environmen-

tal stewardship, and handson learning alongside the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Wesleyan University, and Norwalk Public Schools. About two years ago, the corporation approached Torrie Hanley, a SHU biology professor, about partnering. Hanley knew the project would support student learning through field research, expand opportunities for field trips, enhance curriculum, and advance faculty research. Since then, the organization has awarded SHU approximately the grant that will provide Hanley and her colleagues in the biology program with supplies, transportation, paid interns, and other resources to support the island’s restoration. “One of our goals for R.E.S.A. is to create opportunities for students to learn by doing — to connect classroom knowledge with the real work of restoring coastal ecosystems and preparing

communities for an ever-changing climate,” said Jess Vonashek, executive director of Manresa Island Corp. “Sacred Heart University's faculty and students are already making meaningful contributions to the site's ecological transformation while helping shape the next generation of environmental scientists and coastal stewards.” Hanley said that hands-on involvement is what makes the partnership so valuable for students who are contributing to a large-scale restoration effort while gaining firsthand research experience. “For SHU students to be part of this research process and engage with an educational resource in our backyard is an incredible opportunity,” Hanley said. “They will watch the project’s progress, see the changes, and know they had an impact.” Currently, about 10 biology students are being paid to conduct research on the island. SHU biology department professors are leading the way. They include • Jo-Marie Kasinak, who is ex-

A $50K grant from Manresa Island Corp. has opened up research opportunities at former power plant site

panding Project Limulus, SHU’s long-running horseshoe crab research project, to Manresa Island • LaTina Steele, who is studying the salt marshes • Emily Levyand Barbara Pierce, who are studying birds on the island. Additionally, SHU’s biology program offers courses in restoration ecology, conservation biology, and coastal biology that incorporate Manresa Wilds. Last fall, Hanley took her restoration ecology class to the island. Students toured the site and stood atop the former power plant, where they learned about its industrial history and the plans to transform it into a park. “We talked about different types of restoration efforts, the people involved, and more,” Hanley said. A field trip to the island had a huge impact on senior Jamie Gaffney, of Hillsborough, New Jersey. “It was the coolest trip,” said the biology major. A lover of the outdoors who enjoys biking, hiking, and fishing, Gaffney said seeing the site and learning about the early stages of the project sparked his interest. He wanted to stay involved and soon began working with Levy on her bird research. Levy and Pierce, with Gaffney and other students, will soon install acoustic recorders on the island to learn what types of birds use the site. The microphones record birdsong, and machine learning helps researchers identify species from the recordings. “I feel really passionate about this work,” Gaffney said. “This site could serve as a blueprint for other sites and how they can restore them.” Junior Carolina Demarco, of Stamford, is a coastal and marine science major with a deep passion for marine biology. She volunteers at Norwalk’s Maritime Aquarium and learned about the Manresa Wilds project while attending the Norwalk Oyster Festival. Back at SHU, she heard about Steele’s research on the island and was excited by the full-circle connection. Demarco said this is her first fieldwork experience, and she’s excited to be a part of it. “It’s just really cool to work hands-on with something that’s so interesting to me,” she said. “I’m really lucky to have this opportunity. I feel really grateful to do this research. It’s unbelievable.”
