It’s a necessity. Through its Every Bright Future Needs a Strong Foundation initiative, the Monroe Community College Foundation works to ensure deserving students receive the scholarship support they need to complete their educational goals at MCC. Because 90 percent of MCC career program graduates who are employed full time remain in Greater Rochester, the initiative also ensures that MCC remains a force behind our region’s economic stability and workforce development. MCC scholarships are a wise investment—keeping students on track for success and ensuring that our brightest graduates reach their potential here at home.

  • Tom Laduca ‘72 - a Park Avenue Pioneer
    Tom LaDuca ‘72 - A Park Avenue Pioneer ochester’s Park Avenue simply isn’t what it used to be. That’s not to Rsuggest there’s anything wrong along this trendy thoroughfare—quite the contrary. The evolution of Park Avenue over the years makes it one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Tom LaDuca ‘72 had a big impact on that transformation. As the owner of Hogan’s Hideaway, the College of Business alumnus helped launch a casu- ally elegant style of dining that makes the area a popular destination. His restaurant offers a wide-ranging menu, with items made from scratch on premises. But LaDuca says high quality food is only part of the experience. People enjoy coming to Hogan’s and Park Avenue to take in the eclectic mix of commercial and residential activity. “You can’t get the atmosphere—that certain ambiance—at the suburban chain restaurants,” explains LaDuca. “What you do get there is consistency. Walk into any chain, and you can sit in Tom LaDuca ‘72 and daughter Kelly Marie ‘03 pose in front of Hogan’s Hideaway. the same place, look at the same picture.

  • City of Rochester Name: Raul Salinas Downtown Name: Center City District County: Monroe
    Rochester, NY Submission to the Downtown Revitalization Initiative 6/10/2016 Executive Summary The revitalization of downtown Rochester must engage and retain young adults as residents who want to live and work in cities. A recent Urban Land Institute and National League of Cities supported a study of downtown Rochester, NY identified an immediate need to re-activate the Genesee Riverfront and Main Street to target diverse young adults and bring vibrancy to the fronts of downtown buildings. Critical to re-activating Rochester’s downtown is giving the job to rebuild it to the people who need the work the most. Thanks to the efforts of the Governor’s Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force and the local Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI), the anti-poverty program pilot area is adjacent to Rochester’s downtown district. The program will provide employment supports (e.g. daycare and transportation) to stabilize families and connect them to Rochester’s downtown success. Rochester’s downtown district, the Center City District (CCD), is experiencing dramatic residential growth. Developers partnered with government to create new living spaces within iconic buildings. Despite the 1.7 million people visiting the district annually and record investment in downtown growing high tech firms, retail and walkable amenities do not support 18 hours of activity. Foot traffic by young adults connecting downtown living and work will bridge the gap between living and work that exists in downtown Rochester, NY. Young adults are drawn to an iconic city and will create the demand for first floor retail that will give jobs and stabilize neighborhoods.

  • Monroe County Summary*
    www.ACTRochester.org Monroe County Summary* General Overview Monroe County is the region’s urban center and reflects the highs and lows, and stark disparities, of the Finger Lakes region. It has the most educated adult population and high-performing suburban districts, but also the highest child poverty rate and the lowest high school graduation rate. Monroe is the most diverse county and home to most of the region’s arts and tourist attractions. Monroe is one of nine counties in the Greater Rochester Region – Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates Monroe is by far the largest county in the region, with almost two-thirds of the total regional population, giving it an outsized influence on regional statistics. Monroe is considered home to the urban and suburban portions of the census-defined Rochester Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), while the counties of Livingston, Ontario, Orleans, Wayne, and Yates comprise the exurbs and rural areas of the metro. All municipalities in the MSA with over 25,000 population are within Monroe County. Monroe contains many of the most visited and well-known tourist attractions in the region, including The National Museum of Play, The George Eastman Museum, The Memorial Art Gallery, Seabreeze Amusement Park, Mount Hope Cemetery (home to the remains of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, among others), Seneca Park Zoo, and Highland Park (site of the Lilac Festival). In addition, Rochester hosts many well-attended festivals throughout the year, including the Lilac Festival, the Rochester International Jazz Festival, and the Rochester Fringe Festival. Rochester is home to many prestigious colleges and universities, including the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, Nazareth College, SUNY Brockport, and St.

  • A Wounded Life Can Be Made Whole Again. Dear Bivona Friends
    A wounded life can be made whole again. Dear Bivona Friends, In 2013, Bivona Child Advocacy Center took a turn toward the future like never before. Our $4.5 million Building Hope Campaign received a tremendous $500,000 lead gift from The Joseph and Irene Skalny Charitable Trust and by year’s end, we hit $3.5 million! A gift of this magnitude from the Skalny family inspires so many others to follow suit, and lends huge credibility to our agency, our mission and our need for relocating. By 2014, we will officially complete our Building Hope Campaign. One Mount Hope Avenue will put a permanent footprint in Monroe County as THE resource for children and families affected by the horrors of sexual and physical abuse. When we opened our doors in 2004, we thought we’d evaluate 250 children in our first year. We evaluated 525. This year, we evaluated more than 1,600. That’s 30 new children every week. In the past decade, we’ve not only tripled the number of children evaluated, we’ve tripled our partnerships, our staff, our operating budget, and went through three facility modifications to manage the growth and need. Bivona Child Advocacy Center at The Skalny Building will allow us to meet the growing needs of this community, and to deliver excellence in child abuse response, healing and prevention. A larger facility also means more space for our current partners and additional partnerships to expand programs and services. On day one at The Skalny Building, we will grow from 31 co-located partners to nearly 50; from 8,700 to 30,000 square feet; from one medical exam room to two; from three child-friendly interview rooms to four; from one play therapy room to two.

  • Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 I
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced info the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on untii complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
