SPRING 2017 | 1 FROM THE ’CUSE Get Excited About CBT 2017 reetings! I hope the New Year has been productive for you. Here in the Office of Program Development, G we’re looking forward to your visit in the fall and working hard to create a Coming Back Together (CBT) reunion weekend that will exceed your expectations! First, we are honored to have Dave Bing ’66 as our keynote speaker for the CBT Gala on Saturday, September 16. He has been a longtime supporter of the University, our office, and CBT, and it will be wonderful to hear his rich life lessons. Since Dave’s days as a student-athlete at SU, he has been a professional basketball player, businessman, politician, and community leader. Dave has certainly kept busy over the years, yet he has always made time for philanthropy. We appreciate him as one of the initial donors to the Our Time Has Come endowment for black and Latino students at Syracuse, a legacy that keeps on giving. The stories of the OTHC scholars in this issue prove that giving to the fund is literally life changing. We look forward to seeing many of you during the various pre-CBT receptions across the country this spring. If you haven’t registered for CBT yet, please do so at programdevelopment.syr.edu. The early bird rate of $215 ($150 for Generation Orange) will be available until April 30. This fee includes virtually all of the reunion weekend’s activities, including the CBT Gala, concert, tailgate, game, and receptions. What a deal! Our office is growing! I can’t wait for you to meet Mark Jackson, our new executive director, who is focused on Program Development operations and partnerships that will make us more efficient and further our efforts. And for the first time, we’re looking for a director of development who will help us uncover the donors who want to make an impact, like our friend Zhamyr “Sammy” Cueva ’93, featured in this issue. And Angela Morales-Patterson and Susan Blanca continue to have great passion for our work and much love for all of you. Since joining the staff at Syracuse, I’ve spoken with many of you about ways that you’d like to support our beloved alma mater with your time, talent, and treasure. Several of you have passed along tremendous ideas and suggestions that will make us better. I encourage you to keep those ideas coming, because we’re listening. If you’ve never been involved or made a gift before, now is a great time. If you’ve been involved, but want to engage in a different way, please let us know. This is a new beginning with lots of great opportunities that will require your ongoing support and input to become reality. I can be reached at [email protected] whenever you’d like to connect. My team and I continue to be inspired by you—our talented alumni and students of color. Let’s continue to support one another, stay connected, and give back to those students who need a helping hand. The best is yet to come!

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

    131 West 33rd Street Suite 610 New York, NY 10001 (212) 627-2227 www.nyic.org February 20, 2018 By USPS Express Mail The Honorable Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. Secretary of Commerce U.S. Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20230 John M. Mulvaney Director of the Office of Management and Budget 725 17th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20503 Dear Secretary Ross and Director Mulvaney: On behalf of 106 undersigned organizations throughout New York State, we are requesting that you reject any effort by the Department of Justice to add a question regarding citizenship to the 2020 decennial Census. To do otherwise, would severely undermine the accuracy and non- partisan legitimacy of the Census, impair the delicate trust between the community and the role of the Census, and skyrocket the cost of the Census. A non-partisan, reliable and responsive 2020 Census is needed to ensure the proper distribution of over $600 billion in federal funding to communities across this country for needed schools, hospitals, housing, and transportation. For that reason, great effort has been expended by the Census to ensure questions will elicit both an accurate and high response rate, a process that has involved extensive screening, focus groups, and field tests. At this stage in the process, there is no time to add questions that have not been properly vetted, especially since citizenship is already included in the American Community Survey. There is no doubt that adding a citizenship question to the decennial Census would pose a chilling effect and result in a significant undercount, particularly by already under-counted racial and ethnic minority groups, including immigrants and non-citizens.
