Last fall, the College community welcomed Dr. Gregory T. DeCinque as our new interim president who was unanimously approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees. Following the appointment, SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher commented, “We are deeply grateful to Dr. DeCinque for agreeing to come out of retirement and continue to serve our system as interim president of Cayuga Community College, while a search for permanent leadership is underway.”

Dr. DeCinque had been president of Jamestown Community College for the previous 19 years before retiring in August 2013. He earned his Ph.D. in Educational Administration from the University of Texas at Austin. As president of JCC, he not only led the campus through its transition to a regional community college, but also had extensive experience in leading the college through fiscal exigency.

Arriving in late November Dr. DeCinque quickly immersed himself in the College and the community, spending time with many individuals and leaders of various groups in both Cayuga and Oswego counties as he tried to get to the root issues and begin to explore potential solutions. He shared that, “the parallels of Jamestown and Cayuga were strong, and I believed I could help Cayuga realize the same type of success we achieved at Jamestown.” He credits the Board of Trustees for setting the stage for success even before he came on board.

Blueprint of new construction in storefronts of Fulton Campus

Over the past several issues of The Spartan we have talked about Cayuga’s plans for the future and reminisced about the past; this issue we will be sharing what is new and happening

right now at CCC.Back in the fall 2011 issue of The Spartan we

hinted that “Growth and Change are on the Horizon . . .” The following spring we shared “Blueprint for Cayuga’s Newest Home.” By the fall of 2012 we were able to tell you about the exciting progress that had been made on our new

Fulton Campus with the announcement that the Fulton Campus at River Glen was opening on schedule. Turning to the next two issues in 2013, we savored

“Auburn/Cayuga CC turning 60.” Now, as we head into our fall/winter issue of 2014, we are ready to let you in on what is new for Cayuga today. And there is a lot to share . . .

Let’s start with our new Interim President Dr. DeCinque. With great strides he is restoring CCC. In June it was announced that “Cayuga is back in the black.” By cutting costs, budget con-servation and better-than-expected enrollment, Cayuga will finish the year with a positive fund balance. His appointment of Assistant Professor John Lamphere as the new Interim Dean at the River Glen campus has helped to re-awaken cam-pus spirit as Lamphere pledges to complete a number of projects in the new facility, including a new student lounge area, new work-out space, and the addition of a new Subway restaurant.

In addition, new programs such as advanced manufacturing certification and occupational therapy are part of Dr. DeCinque’s plan to make CCC more competitive. The Fulton Nursing Program will officially begin its first class under the new admission cycle in the fall of 2015. The expansion of the program includes new Simulation labs for both campuses. You can read more about this program on the “Fulton Campus” page.

The CCCC Foundation is offering new Full-Tuition Scholarships. The Cayuga Presidential Scholarships are being given to Cayuga and Oswego County students (including Jordan-Elbridge and Skaneateles students) who gradu-ate in the top 20% of their high school class.

The ACC/CCC Alumni Association is also excited to announce some new board members. Elections held on September 9th brought in new members. Combine that with a new Alumni Director, and we have the recipe for a whole lot of new projects in the works for the 2014-2015 academic year.

We cherish our memories of ACC/CCC, but we’ve come to appreciate that all that is new -- is what will bring back the “old” feeling.

THE SPARTAN

what your “Dream Job” would look like? And would that “Dream Job” be absolutely per-fect in every way? Maybe you would wish it to be, but, what’s the fun in that? Life should “keep you on your

toes.” I never could have predicted the twists and turns that have taken place in order for me to be where I am today. Yet, here I am -- some-times filled with mixed feelings, but, oh so grateful to be where I am -- in my “Dream Job.” I cannot thank the Alumni Board of Directors enough for their support and belief in me which ultimately led me back to CCC.

For those of you who don’t know me, I worked behind the scenes in the Alumni Office for four years as administrative assistant, assistant editor, Phone-a-Thon coordinator, and keeper of our Facebook, among other things. As I began to settle into my new/old surroundings and looked to make the space my own, I came across a sign that I found inspiring and hung it on the wall in my new office: “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;

Have you ever thought about . . .

not only plan, but also believe.” It was not signed by an author so, of course, I ‘googled it’ -- Anatole France (1844-1924), novelist, journalist, poet. Thank you!

I think we all go through times of self-doubt, but, we need to trust that when it feels right, it is right. Then it is only a matter of pushing down that self-doubt and letting the motivation rise to the top. So, did it all happen the way I thought that it would? Nope! But, I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. My wish for you is that you already have your “Dream Job”; but, if you are not there yet, I hope that it is still on the horizon, that you haven’t given up the dream, and that you continue to believe in yourself.

And, this is where I give my plug for CCC . . .

Consider returning to Cayuga to take some classes to help you head in the direction for that “Dream Job.” Or, come and visit your favorite pro-fessor for some inspirational words to help get you back on the track. Whatever you choose, you might be surprised at where the twists and turns of your life may lead you.

Mary J. Kriever ’09Director of Alumni AffairsACC/CCC Alumni Association

Since my arrival at CCC last fall, I’ve been introduc-ing myself. First, to the College community. Next, to the commu-n i t y - a t - l a r g e in Cayuga and Oswego counties including legis-lators, business

leaders, philanthropists and school district superintendents. With this issue of The Spartan, I have the plea-sure of introducing myself to you, the more than 24,000 graduates of Auburn/Cayuga Community College.

The SUNY Board of Trustees for-mally approved my appointment as Interim President in November 2013. Just three months before, I had retired after serving 19 years as president of Jamestown Community College. I like to joke that I “failed” retirement and needed to get back into community college life!

My experiences at JCC make for an ideal match with your alma mater. Jamestown and Cayuga both have large branch campuses about an hour away from their main cam-puses. Both colleges are about the same size, have experienced

Mary J. Kriever ’09

Dear Graduate,budgetary shortfalls and share the mantle of being community colleges within SUNY.

I soon realized that several of our major accomplishments at JCC could be translated to Cayuga’s situ-ation. These could include the tran-sition to a multi-county regional model and the possible creation of student housing. However, the most important task facing Cayuga is the broadening of our academic offer-ings. To speak as a business person might, these are the products that we sell and that must meet the needs and wants of our customers. Already, CCC has received approval for our new Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant program. We are moving ahead on advanced manufac-turing, plastics technology, and tech-nical programs hosted on our Fulton Campus in conjunction with Oswego County BOCES. Stay tuned through-out 2014-15 for more developments!

When I say that Cayuga Community College is an integral part of the com-munity, what I’m really saying is that each graduate makes CCC an import-ant part of our community. Your per-sonal stories, taken together, become the full Cayuga Story. Therefore, I have two requests to you.

First, I ask each of you to let your legislators, representatives and community contacts know just how important CCC is to our region. If Cayuga is to serve future genera-tions as well as we served you, we must have an adequate level of fund-ing to provide the high quality edu-cational programs that prepare our students to serve their communities, their counties and our country for the future.

Second, I encourage you as alumni to continue supporting the CCC Foundation by donating to the Annual Alumni Appeal. The Foundation has partnered in CCC’s turnaround by creating the Cayuga Presidential Scholarships. This new fund ensures that any and all high school graduates from Cayuga and Oswego counties, who ranked in the top 20% of their high school classes, can attend CCC for two full years, tuition-free. As long as they main-tain a 3.0 GPA and attend CCC full-time, these students can earn their degrees without paying a single penny in tuition. This is an expensive enterprise, to be sure, and one wor-thy of your full support.

Your alma mater has accomplished much in the past year. We still have much to do during my tenure. I thank you in advance for joining me in our work to build a better future for Cayuga Community College.

Sincerely,Gregory DeCinque, Ph.D.Interim President

Gregory DeCinque, Ph.D.

This year we celebrate the ACC/CCC Alumni Association’s 55th Anniversary. Over 24,000 individuals are represented by our Association. Our alumni have traveled to all points of the globe and have held the highest posi-tions in their respective fields. It’s evident from the success sto-ries they share that our College has provided the highest quality

programs and services to students, staff and the community-at-large.

In November 2013 we welcomed Dr. Gregory DeCinque as the College’s new Interim President. He has given the College and community confi-dence and direction and shared his fiscal acu-men to get CCC back on a solid foundation. Dr. DeCinque is an outstanding leader and we are happy to work with him in meeting the College’s future goals. We were pleased to learn that he has extended his term for an additional year and we look forward to his continued leadership.

CCC graduated 524 students this past May and we welcome the graduates into our Alumni Association. At the brunch held commencement morning, we presented the 2014 Alumni Awards to Richard J. Knaul ’63, Melanie Trexler ’75 and Terry M. Wilbur ’08. These individuals have not only distinguished themselves in their careers but also have given outstanding support to the College,

Dear College Alumni and Friends,the Foundation and the Alumni Association.

Late this summer we welcomed our new full-time Director of Alumni Affairs, Mary Kriever ’09. Mary previously served as Assistant Director and we welcome her dedication and expertise in leading us in the future. We also are very thankful to Jeff Hoffman of the CCC Foundation and the CCC staff who have given us great support in our commitment to our mission of providing services to alumni.

The Association’s Annual Meeting was held in September where we set our agenda for the com-ing academic year. We look forward to continu-ing the various programs and activities that the Association has become known for and we encour-age all interested alumni to join us and become active in your Association. As I wrote last fall, I feel we are the best community college Alumni Association in the state and that would not be pos-sible without your support and assistance.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the individuals who have helped and supported the Association throughout the year. The Board members of the Association have provided their time, energy, hard work and dedication in provid-ing great services and programs to our alumni, the College and our local communities.

Thank you to all and we look forward to serving you this coming year.

“They made some tough decisions last year to start the turn around, and I’ve been able to hold the line by managing the financial aspects of the College very conservatively.”

Quickly realizing that the most promising solutions would take lon-ger than the eight months left in his contract, Dr. DeCinque had some dis-cussions with the board about their interest in a contract extension. He added that “…I really felt that was the right course to get the institu-tion where it needed to be not only for the fiscal health and future of the College but also to be attractive to a strong pool of candidates for the presidency.” After six months of significant progress toward return-ing the institution to solvency and sustainable viability, the Board

of Trustees voted to extend Dr. DeCinque’s initial one-year contract to the end of November 2015.

By mid-summer, Dr. DeCinque was able to announce that $1 million would be added to the college’s fund balance for the 2014-15 fiscal year. Cayuga’s improved financial situa-tion is enabling the college to again consider building dormitories and an athletic complex, initiatives that had been put on hold. Dr. DeCinque says Cayuga needs them to compete for new students because most other com-munity colleges have those facilities.

Also, while the short-term goal of fiscal health is paramount, Dr. DeCinque says looking forward is also essential for the College’s suc-cess. That includes the vision for the Fulton Campus. He and a dedicated team, led by recently appointed Interim Dean of Fulton Campus, John Lamphere ’74, are working with a number of mission-appropriate partners to develop the River Glen campus into a center of education, training, culture and entertainment.

Board of Trustees President Jeff Edwards feels that Cayuga won the lottery twice with Dr. DeCinque. “When Greg signed the first contract, I truly felt that he was the lifeboat for our College,” shares Edwards. “Then, when he initiated the conversation about a contract extension, I knew Cayuga would thrive having the ben-efit of another year with him at the helm.” Edwards continued, “Greg has helped us recover from a very trying period. He has shown that if we pull together as a community, attitudes and the atmosphere can shift and we can move forward and remain a com-petitive college in New York State.”

I have been extensively involved with community theatre over the last forty years. In fact, in 1987, I met and fell in love with my south-ern wife, Barbara, when we were cast as the newlyweds in “Barefoot in the Park.” Some of my favorite shows have been “It’s A Wonderful Life” (three times), “Man of La Mancha,” “The Good Doctor,” “Zara Spook & Other Lures,” “A View From the Light Booth,” “South Pacific,” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” I have also participated in numerous murder mystery evenings for a local production company.

When not acting, I enjoy finding and creating props for theatre. I am also an active Boy Scout leader and am currently District Commissioner for the BSA Upper Cumberland District.

Basically I was a career clue-less 19-year-old from Cortland, N.Y. before meeting professors Dan Labeille and Charlie Herbst at ACC back in 1971-72. I had never even walked across a stage before a brief encounter with Dan at an open audition.

I very quickly learned that I was not an actor but was drawn into the backstage experi-ence of helping to create a live per-formance. Dan and Charlie actively encouraged my par-ticipation by offering me a student part-time position in the scene shop building scenery and props. After helping mount a couple of shows, I knew I had found my calling.

With Dan’s recommendation, I was hired on to be the technical director of a SUNY tour of several campus theaters with the Austrian Theatre company, Theater in der Josefstadt. This fantastic experience focused my direction and led to a position with the highly regarded children’s theater company, The Paper Bag Players in NYC, who, by the way, still perform to this day.

To make a long story shorter, for the next 38 years I lived in Manhattan, traveled extensively and had the pleasure of working side by side with many of the most talented artists in the performing

Daniel R. Fenlon ’73I have been in one major film,

“42” the Jackie Robinson story. The film was shot in 2012 and pre-

miered in April 2013. I was cast as Babe Hamburger, the Brooklyn Dodgers clubhouse manager, after being pulled from a crowd of extras in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I had gone to the set with my son, Drake, just for fun. The cast-ing director told me that I had the perfect look for a part they needed to cast at the last min-ute. I read for her

and then read for the director and screenplay writer, Brian Helgeland, and was given the part. I worked for

two days—one of which was with Harrison Ford who played the part of Branch Rickey.

My work with Dan Labeille at ACC definitely gave me a love for theatre and kept me on the stage for forty years. I live in Cookeville, Tennessee, and work for Kroger. I have a daughter, Amanda, and

a son, Drake. I am also the proud grandpa to two beautiful grand-daughters, London and Paisley.

arts. It was my pleasure to work with The Acting Company, The Juilliard School, Circle Rep, Twyla Tharp

Dance, The Joffrey Ballet, The Royal Ballet, The Met Opera, The Bolshoi Theatre, The Kirov Theatre, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Philip Glass, A Baker’s Dozen Broadway Show, and believe it or not -- even Frank Sinatra. The best part of this story is that while working with Baryshnikov, I met and fell in love with one of his dancers,

Patricia Lent, who I am happy to say became my wife. After 38 years in Manhattan and a nearly over-whelming amount of domestic and international travel, I decided to call it quits and retire happily back in the Finger Lakes.

Patricia and I now live quietly on the shore of Cayuga Lake in a home we designed and built. In a nutshell, I owe pretty much every-thing to my experience at ACC and the thoughtful guidance of Dan Labeille and Charlie Herbst. I am happy to say that Dan Labeille and I have been very good friends every bit of the way. Charlie Herbst and I have also remained in contact until he went into hospice care with a terminal illness.

Marilyn “Merlyn” U. Fuller ’99, CCC employee for the last 17 years in the Department of Community Education and Workforce Development, is now an author. Fuller has written and published Fairy Tales & Horror Stories: A Memoir. The book recalls her North Country childhood and her count-er-cultural adulthood. She grew up in rural upstate New York, near Watertown, outside of Brownville. It was an idyllic pastoral childhood in many ways, roaming fields and pastures and picking cowslips and catching tadpoles. Her favorite hob-bies were being out in nature, dress-

ing up her cats in doll clothes, pretending to be an actress and putting on shows in the garage. Her book finds her pondering love, sex, music and s p i r i t u a l i t y. Shy as a child, she was vexed

Following the release of his groundbreaking first book in 2012, which “received t r e m e n d o u s reviews and global reach,” author Mark C. Coleman ’96 announces the publication of his second book, Time to Trust: Mobilizing Humanity for a Sustainable Future. The book provides an understanding of how trust has been a foundation of all human rela-tionships and the evolution of civili-zation and teaches how to identify, manage and com-municate through “Trust-Triggering Events.” Coleman provides insight on visualizing and learning the nec-essary trust-related traits and skills to take action, mobilize and lead the “Sustainability Generation.” For additional information, visit www.timetotrustbook.com.

In the fall 2012 issue of The Spartan, we highlighted Mark’s first book, The Sustainability Generation: The Politics of Change and Why Personal Accountability is Essential NOW!, which examined how individual and generational

Since he was young, Mark E. Stiver ’89, Auburn native and CCC alum, knew he was destined to be a writer. In an interview with The Citizen, Mark said, “I always wanted to see my name on a book, but I didn’t know if it would ever happen. Now it’s happened a few times. It’s pretty cool.”

Stiver has made a name for himself in the world of science-fiction writing with a very sim-ple recipe: a little imag-ination mixed with a touch of ambition. His books are his own cre-ations—a combination of stories he thinks up during his daily routine and memories he has from vivid dreams. Each one is a short story, the longest one reaching only about 80 pages.

“They’re short stories, but they’re long enough to be books,” he said. His first book, “Vampire Vanashez,” was published in July of 2012.

entitlement represent the underly-ing root causes of social and envi-ronmental challenges. Since then he began a new blog that he wrote for Huffington Post, “Trust is Essential for a Sustainable Future.”

Coleman is the President of Convergence, Mitigation, Management (CMM) LLC, a man-agement consulting business. CMM develops and provides custom business intelligence and advisory services for business, government, applied research, not-for-profit, and non-governmental organizations. CMM helps organizations identify, understand, assess, and prioritize specific risks to their business and strategies to mitigate and manage those risks.

He also has served as a Senior Research Associate with the firm, AHC Group, Inc., and between 2008 and 2013, Mark served on the board of a not-for-profit organization, B9 Plastics (www.b9plastics.org), involving global water development concerns.

Mark attended Binghamton University where he received a B.A. in Geography and Environmental Studies, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he received his M.S. in Environmental Management and Policy. Married to Aileen McNabb-Coleman ’97, the couple resides in Auburn, NY with their two sons, Owen Patrick and Neal Garrett.

Liberal Arts and Humanities degree. She is also a self-employed business owner: musician and entrepreneur of “Merry Mischief,” where she goes by her musical name “Merlyn.” She and her husband work the Sterling Renaissance Festival as a musical duo. The couple has worked in other states as well. “Merlyn” was the Author Spotlight for CNY Writer’s Center in the Arts in the HeARTS Gallery on June 14 as part of the Fulton Arts Fest.

Mark has written a few sequels along with some other original sto-ries. All of his books have been writ-ten and published within the short

span of 13 months. His latest, “Strange Science from Space,” is one of his favorites.

Stiver has taken the self-publishing route for every book he’s writ-ten, learning everything he needs to know about the process simply by searching the Internet. He sometimes finishes books and puts them up for sale without even telling his friends and

family and quickly gets working on the next one as soon as he gets another idea.

“If I get an idea, I’ll outline it; and if it seems good, then I’ll go with it.”

Mark said he will continue to write for now. With every book that comes out, he’ll be reminded once again what he loves so much about writing.

CCC FOUNDATION

Not long after I exited my last CCC class in 1984, my wife and I found ourselves living in the Lehigh Valley. Our new hometown was Pen Argyl, Pennsy lvan ia—childhood home of Jayne Mansfield

and center of the “Slate Belt.” (If you have a slate pool table, chances are the tabletop came from the slate pit just south of town.)

I had taken my first “real” job in ’84 as the marketing/fund raising director for a small museum. Now, three decades later, I find myself still loving my profession and practicing it at Cayuga.

A lot has changed in philanthropy over 30 years. Online giving has gained a foothold. Some printed publications have taken a back seat to blogs, websites, tweets, postings and text messages.

And yet, at this moment you hold in your hands an actual, printed alumni newsletter!*

The Foundation’s 28th Presidents’ Circle Recognition event was held in May at the Sherwood Inn. The dinner honors the many individuals, foundations and businesses whose support makes our success possible.

Members of the Presidents’ Circle make annual gifts of $1,000 and above to the Cayuga Community College Foundation. The event is also an opportunity to thank our benefactors who have made a gift of $10,000 or more in any given year.

Traditionally, a student’s artwork is selected to be featured on the invi-tation and program cover. This year a

Presidents’ Circle Donor Recognition painting by Kristina Netti, a student who majored in Studio Art with a concentration in graphic design, was selected. Kristina is the daughter of alumnus Frank Netti ’69.

Kristina’s painting was created in a Painting I course as a percep-tual painting assignment. Kristina observed a complex still life arrangement and chose her compo-sition using a viewfinder to crop a section of the still life. The goal of the painting assignment was to use traditional painting techniques with a purpose of capturing proportions and creating form.

Dear ACC/CCC Alumni and Friends,There will always be a place in

this world, and in our lives, for the printed word. There’s something about a piece that we can touch, that rustles when we turn the page, that has that distinctive “right off the press” scent. Similarly, there will always be a place in this world, and in our lives, for each other. There’s something to be said for a face-to-face conversation, a handshake and a hug, a shared laugh among fellow ACC/CCC alums.

This year we’re asking you to reconnect with Auburn/Cayuga Community College. Come see what’s new, what’s planned and what’s happening on Franklin Street. Attend a play, a performance, a lecture or an athletic event (okay, some teams still play off-campus). Stop by the Alumni and Foundation offices to say hello. Come to 11 River Glen Drive in Fulton. You’ll be impressed by our new campus; our plans for the future; and more so, by the students, faculty, staff and fellow ACC/CCC alumni.

We hope to see you on campus this year or run into you out in our communities. Thank you, as always, for being an active part of the ACC/CCC family!

Sincerely,Jeff HoffmanExecutive DirectorCCC Foundation

CCC FOUNDATION

If you attended Auburn or Cayuga Community College from its found-ing through 2004, you knew the name of Professor Robert H. Brunell. In

December of 2004, having com-pleted the first semes-ter of his 50th year on the faculty, P ro f e s s o r B r u n e l l died unex-pectedly. As P re s i d e n t Dr. Dennis G o l l a d a y noted at the time, “A respected, and even r e v e r e d ,

Professor Robert H. Brunell and the Brunell Chair in the Humanitiesfigure on campus, Professor Brunell maintained through all his 50 years of teaching the vigor, insight, and intellectual depth for which he was noted. Students flocked to his classes, and he delivered to them not only value and rigor in the class-room, but also his wisdom and guid-ance as they planned their futures.”

Professor Brunell was a World War II veteran before complet-ing his studies at Colby College in Maine. His service included teach-ing French to Army troops, partic-ipating in the D-Day invasion and seeing action in the Battle of the Bulge. Brunell earned his bachelor’s degree in 1947 and his master’s in 1949 from Middlebury College. He began his teaching career at Little Falls (N.Y.) Central School.

Professor Brunell joined the English faculty of the year-old Auburn Community College in

1954. He remained a full-time mem-ber of the college faculty for the rest of his life, served as chair of the English department and taught German, French, and Spanish. In 1961 he authored the college’s first self-study report required for ACC’s initial accreditation from Middle States. A very few of the honors he earned through the years included:

• National Outstanding Educator in America award in 1973 and other years

• Resolution by the New York State Legislature in 1994 in recognition of 40 years of ser-vice to ACC/CCC

• Honorary Alumnus Award from the ACC/CCC Alumni Association in 2001

• Colby College’s Alumni Outstanding Educator Award for 2002-3

• The inaugural SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Faculty Service

A lifelong interest in music and the arts kept Brunell active in the community. The Key of C, a quartet founded in 1971 and directed by

Professor Robert H. Brunell in 1964

Professor Brunell, performed at the Willard Chapel for New York State Tourism Bureau radio spots. Brunell also played the organ at St. Luke’s United Church of Christ in Auburn and at other churches, community events and the annual holiday open house at the Seward House.

At the time of his passing, few people knew that Professor Brunell had provided for CCC in his estate. His gift to the CCC Foundation, the largest ever from an individual, cre-ated the Robert H. Brunell Chair in the Humanities. The intent of the Chair is to “…invite a distinguished and noted author or artist to be in residence and actively teaching and interacting with students and faculty.”

The first Brunell Chair was Prof. Christopher Kennedy, Director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Syracuse University. In 2012, CCC welcomed musician and humanitarian Samite Mulondo as the Brunell Chair. This fall, the Brunell chair will be filled for the first time by an alumna of the College, Eileen Jerrett ’02.

Returning to CCC this fall, Eileen J. Jerrett ’02, will be the artist-in-residence for TELC 210: Documentary Film Production, where she will assist in teaching. Her latest film, “Blueberry Soup,” documents the rewriting of the Icelandic constitution, her most extensive piece of work to date. Jerrett has dedicated her life and career to making documentary films that are meant to inspire a more creative way of looking at some of life’s most important issues.

“Blueberry Soup” is about the constitutional change in Iceland following the financial crisis of 2008. This is a not well-known story of grassroots constitutionalism brought to life in this uniquely beautiful documentary. The film is a deeply touching account of an eclectic group of individuals reinventing democracy through the rewriting of the nation’s constitution.

During her time at CCC, Jerrett will also screen films, bring in guest filmmakers for screenings and assist in a master class on video production. She also will continue her own documentary film work, provide public screenings as well as screenings for other colleges.

Jerrett received dual degrees with a background in film and telecommunications production at CCC. She moved to Toronto to pursue her bachelor’s in film production.

Fall 2014 Brunell Scholar

A graduate of CCC’s Telcom program in 2002, independent documentary film-maker Eileen Jerrett is back on campus this fall as the “Brunell Visiting Scholar.”

FULTON C AMPUS

Cayuga Community College saw the need for community college ser-vices in Oswego County. In the spring of 1994, after five years of study, the decision was made to create The Fulton Extension Site of CCC. The College opened with 94 students enrolled in two rented class-rooms in the basement of the Fulton Education Center in downtown Fulton. After outgrow-ing that facility in just six months, it was moved into the former Holy Family School building on W. Third St., Fulton that summer. In 1996, SUNY approved the Extension Center designation.

As part of the College’s Facilities Master Plan, 50,000 square feet of space was leased in a vacant discount department store and a new home for the Fulton site was designed. The central feature was an innovative Learning Commons that combined the Library, Academic Support Center, and open Computing Lab. Each would have about 60 stations with the open design allowing the space to “flex” to meet varying needs. Construction began in 2000 and a groundbreaking was held at 806 W. Broadway on the new Fulton

On April 23, Cayuga CC’s Fulton Campus celebrated its 20th anniver-sary. The event’s

organizing committee (featured in the February 2014 edition of Get Inspired) welcomed staff, faculty, special guests and dignitaries.

An introduction by Sue Witmer ’90, Fulton Campus Director of Operations and committee chair, began by reading a letter from Debbie Grimshaw, the campus’s first director. Though she was unable to attend personally due to her position of superinten-dent of the Canajoharie Central School District, she sent her best regards including a stroll down memory lane. Sue also recognized special guests in attendance, including Dr. Cathleen McColgin ’86, former Dean/Provost of the Fulton Campus; Fulton Mayor Ron Woodward; Oswego County Legislators Linda Lockwood, Frank Castiglia Jr., Morris Sorbello and Roy Reehil; CCC Trustee Joseph Runkle; Cayuga County Legislators Mike Didio and Keith Batman ’72, who was also the for-mer interim director of the Fulton

Center. By the next year, the Fulton Center moved to the new facility.

In 2004, to accommodate the increasing student enrollment, 5,000 feet of unfinished space within the Fulton Center was renovated that added four classrooms and seven offices. Growth continued, and in 2006 SUNY approved Branch Campus status educating more than 1,000 students and offering complete degree programs on site.

In spring 2011, Cayuga County approved the purchase of the for-mer P&C Foods building in Fulton’s River Glen Plaza as well as 45 adja-cent acres. Kick off for construction was held in December, and the new Fulton Campus at River Glen Plaza was opened to students by fall 2012.

Current ly there are close to 140 employees on the Fulton Campus. Of that number, approximately 23 are alumni.

The True Beauty Event, sponsored by SGO, took place on the Fulton Campus this past spring. The purpose of the event was to promote the fact that “true beauty” comes from the inside, not the outside.

The American Institute of Architects Eastern New York Chapter (AIAENY) recently recognized JMZ Architects and Planners of Glens Falls, N.Y. for their work on CCC’s Fulton Campus. The firm was honored with a merit award for excellence in design for its work on the campus project.

The jury commented that the “con-version of a strip mall into a college school campus was innovative in con-cept and design. The challenge of cre-ating a college campus feel is explicit in the spacious and naturally lit spaces that encompass the learning

CCC Interim President Dr. Gregory DeCinque stated that “American com-munity colleges have earned a reputa-tion for doing more with less and stay-ing tightly connected with the people they serve.” The Fulton Campus has come a long way since its inception 20 years ago, and the campus located in the River Glen Plaza is a testament to that fact.

Fulton Nursing Program to expand

Once again, I have been asked to contribute to our Alumni news-letter, which for you who do not already know, will be the first one wholly done by Mary Kriever ’09, your new Alumni Director. As for me,

I have contributed in prior issues as a Gettysburg Tour Guide, President of the Alumni Association, and now – quite unexpectedly – as the Interim Dean of the Fulton Campus. I have been given a mission that I fully intend to complete, one that calls for a lot of positive change. I would like to tell you all what is happening with this campus, how it affects the stu-dents and staff, the community, and the College as a whole.

Our Interim President, Greg DeCinque, brings with him an amaz-ing amount of energy and a strong and dedicated commitment to the College, all of which is very “hale to the College community.” I can

Greetings from the Interim Fulton Campus Dean!unequivocally state that Cayuga Community College is healthy and alive, and with the foundation we have established in Oswego County, is here to stay. We began this commit-ment in 1979 when we first offered nursing classes, then rented class-rooms at different locations in down-town Fulton, and had a good 11-year run at the West Broadway site. For the past two years, we welcomed stu-dents to the new River Glen complex, and, if you stop by in the upcoming months, you will see that even that face of the College is changing.

The Fulton Campus is undergo-ing a dynamic change, one that best reflects the needs of the community, our students and our populace. Today, we are in the process of building a student lounge, which will include areas for dining, recreation, engage-ment, club activities and Veterans’ needs. Adjacent to that will be the campus food area with the addition of a Subway branch – freshly pre-pared, healthy and student friendly in cost. With the College Bookstore next to that – addressing all of our student needs and featuring

Eat too much at either of the above locations, and you will now be able to walk out into the new College Fitness Center which is being recon-figured and should be operational within the next two months. All plans – as you can see – are no longer con-ceptual, but tangible works in prog-ress for students and staff.

What else is happening with the Fulton Campus? -- A lot. For fall of 2014, you will find newly created and dedicated classrooms for Physics, Electrical Technology, our award-win-ning Nursing Program that has been doubled in size, and Medical Technology. We are also offering new courses in Psychology, Business, Criminal Justice and introducing one in Homeland Security. Further, all of our Office of Community Education & Workforce Development courses are to be instructed at River Glen. Lastly, if you are a community orga-nization in need of space to promote a worthy course or action, I will make

sure that you have a room to do so. We are partnering with – to name a few – Oswego Health, Oswego County Opportunities, Oswego County, Oswego County Emergency Management, Oswego BOCES and numerous businesses in Oswego County. We are working with each to create courses and programs to meet their specific needs. Oswego Health asked, and we responded with the immediate development and commit-ment to our Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) program, for which we have hired a director.

Stop by and see us. You may remember a lot of the faces; you might find some new ones. Either way, we are all friends and you will always be welcome – starting at the newly named Susan C. Witmer ’90 Welcome Center (another alum), to our entire office staff, Public Safety, Learning Commons, Faculty, all the way up to me – you name it. We are Cayuga Community College and that includes you!

John E. Lamphere ’74Interim Dean

Cayuga Community College’s Fulton Campus will now admit stu-dents into the school’s nursing pro-gram each fall. Previously, the Fulton program offered only bi-annual admissions with classes beginning in the fall of even-numbered years. The change to an annual admission cycle was precipitated by demand, says Professor and Director of Nursing Linda Alfieri, MS, RN. “By offering annual admissions, more individuals will be able to obtain the education and training needed for a successful career in this rewarding profession.”

The expansion of Cayuga’s nurs-ing program, which boasts a 100% NCLEX pass rate for both campuses over the past three years, coincides with the opening of a new Simulation

Lab, which will enhance the practical e x p e r i e n c e of students. The first class under the new a d m i s s i o n s cycle will begin in the fall of 2015.

Applications for fall 2015 admis-sion will be available online at www.cayuga-cc.edu. Those inter-ested in more information about the program and admission process are encouraged to attend a Nursing Information Session on November 10 at 4 P.M. at the Fulton campus (11 River Glen Drive in Fulton).

Telcom student productions win two TELLY Awards

The Telcom Department and School of Media and the Arts (SOMA) at CCC are pleased to announce that one of their stu-dent-produced programs, The Sweet Treat Trail, has been selected as a winner of two 2014 TELLY AWARDS.

The Telly Awards are the premier international awards honoring the finest film and video productions, groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films, and outstanding local, regional, and cable TV com-mercials and programs. The 34th Annual Telly Awards received over 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.

C3 Video students worked with the Cayuga County Office of Tourism to create a series of short videos for the new Finger Lakes Sweet Treat Trail that opened last summer. The students created 10 videos featur-ing various stops on the trail. The trail is a “foodie” trail that has become very popular.

All the segments from the award-winning program are avail-able on a DVD that is given to tour operators visiting Cayuga County. The segments are also featured on the Cayuga County Office of Tourism website (www.tourcayuga.com).

In addition to garnering awards, C3 Video also released Cayuga Eats! – Great Places to Eat and Drink in Cayuga County. The Auburn/Cayuga County region has great places to eat and drink. C3 Video’s student produc-ers traveled throughout this beautiful region, talked to chefs and owners, visited their kitchens, and sampled

delicious food and drink in unique establishments.

This video features eight local restaurants, shops, and wineries in Auburn, Fair Haven, Aurora and King Ferry, covering the central, north, and south areas of Cayuga County. Visitors and residents alike will have fun exploring Cayuga County and eating and drinking at these incomparable locations.

Available on DVD this video also is featured on the Cayuga County Office of Tourism website.

Harlequin Productions has had a busy 2013-2014 academic year. In addition to their two shows, they have also hosted two festivals and will be sending a show to compete in a third!

Fall began with auditions for History 101 by James C. Ferguson, a selection of 15 short comic vignettes of different scenes throughout history. Thirteen student actors and six backstage crew brought to life satirical looks from the “Oracle of Delphi” to the “Wright Brothers.” This show brought recognition, as it received meritorious awards from the Theatre Association of New York State for the Ensemble Acting to the cast of “Women of History” and to Matthew Ryan Limerick for Costume and Makeup Design and Execution. “Women of History” also received an invitation to perform at the annual TANYS festival. They were chosen from among a field of over 50 productions under consideration.

Speaking of the TANYS Festival, Harlequin was honored to be one of the co-hosts of the festival, as it moved back to Auburn for a two-year stay. Almost 200 theatre aficionados got to see nine different companies perform and listen to responses from three nationally known adjudica-tors. Harlequin also was honored by receiving Best Overall Design from the BMI Supply Design Exhibition for their Production Design entry of spring 2013 production of Love in the Insecurity Zone.

Spring of 2014 brought auditions for the world premiere production of Fengar Gael’s The Draper’s Eye. A cast of eight supported by seven backstage crew worked hard to bring this new show to life. Playwright Fengar, upon watching the show on DVD, responded with gratitude and admiration by saying, “How brave you were to tackle a play that has never been produced.”

A TANYS adjudicator also saw great merit in the show and rewarded the company’s hard work with five merit awards: Excellence in Production Concept and Direction to Robert Frame, Excellence in Scenic Design to Robert John Andrusko, Meritorious Achievement in Lighting Design to Brad McLean, Meritorious Achievement in Sound Design to Stephen D.M. Hodge, and Meritorious Achievement in Ensemble Performance to the cast!

Not to rest on their laurels, two weeks later saw Harlequin again playing host to the Michael Harms Theatre Festival. This festival brought seven high school theatre groups to the CCC campus to

In October 2013, an adjudicator from the Theatre Association of New York State came to see Harlequin’s production of History 101. A talk-back session with the cast was held following the performance, where he shared his experience with the cast.

Bob Frame, Director of Theatre Operations, received notification from TANYS concerning awards that were earned:

• Meritorious Achievement in Ensemble Work to the cast of “Women of History”

• Meritorious Achievement in Costume and Makeup Design and Execution to Matthew Ryan Limerick

The adjudicator’s comment was, “This cross between fractured fairy tales and the complete world his-tory abridged was a delight to watch on stage. The young cast enjoyed every minute of this quick paced production.”

perform in the Bisgrove Theatre and attend multiple workshops taught by working professionals. Over 100 high school students participated in this fun-filled day, as they shared their work and their energy with their peers.

As the academic year came to a close, there was one more performance planned. The Eastern States Theatre Association has a bi-yearly festival of original works. Harlequin submitted and was chosen to perform “Lewis & Clark” by James C. Ferguson, one of the vignettes from History 101. Matthew Ryan Limerick and Stephen D.M. Hodge represented Harlequin Productions as well as New York State when they performed on May 3. Matthew had just come from his being awarded the inaugural Thommie Walsh Scholarship at Michele Lee’s performance on May 2. This scholarship is given to a Cayuga student pursuing a career in theatre.

Finally, Harlequin Productions would like to say farewell to the students leaving CCC who have contributed their talents to Cayuga theatre. Best of luck in your future endeavors to: Matthew Ryan Limerick, Gillian Frame ’14, Kathryn (Kat) Jordan ’14, Ian Moore, Amanda Bauso, Zachariah Phillips ’14, Hailey Thompson, Taylor Sanchez and Ashley White.

During his induction, Liddell said, “I’ve always had a great support structure from my entire family. Professionally, I worked with many student-athletes, administrators, staff and coaches who have been instrumental in helping our athletics and baseball programs. This is a trib-ute I share with all of those people.”

CL ASS NOTES

Our newest Golden Spartan representative, LaVerne F. Wallace ’56, earned his B.M.E. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1958. Throughout his career he was a designer, an engineer and an inventor. Some

GOLDEN SPARTAN

important design innovations that can be attributed to him include rocket engine test stands at China Lake, California and a weight and center of gravity system for Kodak space equipment (which he holds two patents). In addition, he designed finger tip sensors that enable a robotic hand to have full human feeling and capability.

As an engineer, his career was in the field of experimental stress analysis. He contributed to the safety and well-being of others by finding solutions to failing structures or machinery which required accurate analysis, insight, and creative design solutions. Some

issues he helped to solve were subway cars which were derailing and vibration problems with diesel engines on container ships. He was co-founder of Sensing Systems Corporation, which enabled him to advance his works.

Far from his lab, LaVerne’s work has taken him from Pakistan’s Indus River and the largest earthen dam ever built to the North Sea to install safety instrumentation on a salvage barge. Wallace has traveled across North America to test structural integrity of nuclear power plants.

During his time at ACC, Mr. Wallace was in the Engineering and Science Club and on the Dance Band Committee. Over the years he has been involved in community and church. He was been active with Scouting and Habitat for Humanity. The Golden Spartan has been on the local, district, and conference levels of the United Methodist church. Last year LaVerne was featured as a Weedsport Central School District Graduate of Distinction and was honored in the program recognizing his distinguished lifetime achievements.

IN MEMORIAM

“I felt very sad walking toward the Tech building this morning as I saw that the parking spot next to the door where Ray always parked his vehicle was empty, much like the emptiness that we are all feeling with his passing. He will be missed. Bill The late William P. Lovell ’59, Friend

& Colleague (E-mail sent to col-lege community January 31, 2014, 10:14 AM following sad news of Ray Leszczynski’s passing)

“Ray Leszczynksi will be missed in so many ways – he was the institutional memory of the Science Department and passionate about science and with a passion that was infectious for his students. He had high expectations for his students, and they rose to meet them. He was a caring friend and colleague with a great sense of humor and wide range of interests – a conversation with Ray was always educational and enjoyable.” Christie Waters, Chair, Division

of Natural and Health Sciences, Mathematics and Technology

“Some years ago, when my son and my daughter were small, my (then) husband was hospitalized for several months. I would visit him daily, and often bring the children. One evening, we were driving home from the hospital feeling rather down. At that time, there was a comet visible in the sky; and Ray had set up a telescope on top of the tech building. We stopped to look at the comet through the telescope.

I don’t remember much about how the comet looked. But what I do remember is how excited my kids were when they looked at it through the telescope. Being able to look at the stars that evening just lifted our spirits. On the way home, my son (then in middle school; now a Ph.D. in engineering and a science professor himself) said: ‘I think Professor Leszczynski is the best professor in the whole world!’

I will forever be grateful to Ray for that evening—when he directed our attention past our own troubles and to the stars.” Susan Wolstenholme, Professor of English

“As history buffs, we have identified certain peo-ple who have commanded a deep respect. Some peo-ple ask for this; others have it suddenly thrust upon them. Then there are those select few who just live their lives in such a fashion as it becomes natural, when encountering others, that you feel it is the only action you can do with that person. Bill Lovell had complete and unsolicited respect with every person he encountered. You would sit and talk with him and going through your mind was not only the topic of conversation, but the feeling that you were in the presence of someone gifted, of some person from our past whom we read about and now – we are in front of that person, a living history.

In my careers I have interacted with literally thousands of people from all walks of life. I had the great fortune to work with Bill Lovell and to call him a friend. Bill Lovell had not just his immedi-ate family, but all those with whom he worked, and the students whose lives he had such great impact on. His management style was one of will, mean-ing that he seldom gave orders; rather, you just did what had to be done so as not to disappoint the man. We were all lucky to have served under him and we all want to thank his immediate family for sharing him with us.” John E. Lamphere ’74, Interim Dean of the Fulton Campus

“Bill was one of my first teachers (and by far one of my favorites) here when I started back in 2003. I took Accounting I & II with him. One of the things I loved is that even as a student he always had an open door policy no matter how busy he was or how many different things he was juggling on his plate. He always made me (and all his students) feel like we were his top priority. That carried right over when I became an employee in 2006, always mak-ing me feel like I could ask him anything.

He has been one of the most influential educators that I have encountered not only here at Cayuga, but at all the schools I have attended. He also had quite a sense of humor. As a student, I always addressed the staff/faculty here as Professor, Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc…. So, when I became an employee, I would always say to Bill, ‘How are you today, Mr. Lovell?’ and he would always respond “Fine, thank you…and MY NAME IS BILL.” Amanda M. Reed ’06, Evening

Administrator-Fulton Campus

“I believe JoAnn said it first, ‘Bill is Father Fulton’ and that is 100% correct. He has been a mentor and ‘father’ figure to all of us over the years and the Fulton Campus will never be the same without Professor Lovell...or…I mean…Bill.

Bill was a man of great stature and respected by everyone he worked with. His values, beliefs and eth-ics are a rare find these days, a true gentle man and gentleman.

He won’t be replaced easily, and whoever does fol-low in his footsteps has big shoes to fill. I will miss him tremendously as a teacher, mentor, colleague and, most of all, friend.” Susan C. Witmer ’90, Director of

Fulton Operations

Professor William “Bill” P. Lovell ’591938-2014

Professor Raymond F. Leszczynski1942-2014

In Memory of Professor Raymond F. Leszczynski

Raymond F. Leszczynski, Professor of Science at ACC/CCC from 1967–2014, passed away on January 30, 2014, at his home. This spring would have marked the 48th year since Professor Leszczynski first set foot on our College campus. In February 1966 Ray accepted a temporary one- semester teaching appointment in the Science Department. Delayed for three days by the blizzard of ’66, it was Ray’s very first experience teaching, and he absolutely loved it!

In fall 1967 Ray returned to ACC to accept a permanent, full-time appoint-ment and has remained “in a virtual love affair in my employment at ACC/CCC teaching, advising and working with students ever since.” He became well known for his lively classroom lec-tures and spring/fall field trips to vari-ous locations in Cayuga and Onondaga counties.

Ray once remarked, “I have already eclipsed the point where many of the students that I am now teaching are the children of students that I taught a generation ago. My only hope is that the time does not come too soon where I am teaching the grandchildren of the stu-dents that I once taught!” He was espe-cially proud to say that all four of his sons graduated from CCC and went on to have successful professional careers.

Ray received a B.S. degree from SUNY Albany, a master’s from the College of Saint Rose, and also pursued stud-ies at Cornell University and SUNY Cortland. He was a communicant of St. Hyacinth’s Church in Auburn. His interests included skiing, fly fishing, cultivating his outdoor gardens, and sharing his knowledge and love of automobiles with his sons.

Professor Leszczynski was mar-ried to the late Diane A. Leszczynski (Lomnicki) for 36 years; she passed away May 3, 2005. Survivors include his four sons: Kirk ’91 and his wife Kathleen of Ballston Spa, Jamie ’93 and his wife Danna of Auburn, Jason ’98 and his wife Sarah of Fultonville, and Justin ’03 of Scipio Center; one brother, Dr. Thomas Lacey and his wife Beverly of Ludlow, VT; and three grandchildren, Mariska, Madaline, and Jarek. Ray also leaves behind a close friend and com-panion of several years, Olivia Rising, of Fulton.

As a fitting tribute to Ray and for his years of inspiring Geology students, this past spring members of the col-lege community were invited to “Bring a Rock to Assessment Day.” On May 1 Assistant Professor Sheila Myers and her Conservation and Natural Resources class placed the rocks around

In Memory of Professor William “Bill” P. Lovell ’59

For 47 years, Bill worked as a teacher and administrator at Auburn/Cayuga Community College, most recently serving as Chair of College Studies and Professor of Business at the college’s Fulton campus. A respected teacher, mentor and colleague, he received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Professional Service in 2010, the ACC/CCC Alumni Association Award in 2009 and was named among the Outstanding Educators of America in 1974. Professor William “Bill” P. Lovell passed away on August 29, 2014.

Professor Lovell is survived by his devoted wife, Deborah (Bingham) ’98; their children, Mark ’87 (April Storrings), Daniel ’95 (Lori), Benjamin (Jennifer), Rebekah Spink ’99 (Michael) and Mary ’00; also Susan ’85 (George Morris) and Pamela Graf ’86 (David) from a previous marriage; and his eight remarkable grandchildren, Daniel, Delaney, Olivia, Madeline, Alexis, Michaela, Meghan, and Gretchen.

Bill was his wife Debbi’s best friend and forever love. They traveled together often, enjoyed concerts, and were inseparable. Most important to them both was being together.

To his children, he was a devoted and selfless father who lovingly taught them to value family, education and faith. To his grandchildren, he was an adoring and patient grandfather, who donned a Santa suit each Christmas Day to deliver gifts and worked in the backyard building swingsets and playhouses.

On campus, Bill was “Father Fulton,” who deftly guided faculty and students with caring and concern. He touched the lives of thousands throughout his career, and the Fulton faculty and staff became a second family to him.

Bill was an avid sports fan who rooted for the New York Yankees, the Cleveland Browns, the Boston Celtics and the Syracuse Orange. He enjoyed trains and model railroads. He loved Walt Disney World, and especially liked taking trips with his family.

Bill was a longtime communicant of St. Mary’s Church of Auburn. He served on the church’s finance committee and was named its Finance Trustee.

“In Bill’s passing, we will all miss a val-ued colleague, friend, mentor, teacher, and respected senior faculty leader. He loved Cayuga Community College and spent his entire career dedicated to student success and promoting the institution’s mission to members of both Cayuga and Oswego Counties.

On a personal note, I will be forever grateful for his guidance, support, and ability to clarify seemingly challenging issues in a logical and straightforward manner. I have been fortunate to work with a man of Bill’s integrity and sin-cere kindness.” Anne Herron, Provost and VP Academic Affairs
