t the quarterly meeting of Wagner’s Board of Trustees in October 2016, I was honored, and a bit surprised, when Chair Warren Procci announced that, as of July 1, I had become Wagner’s longest-serving Apresident. That is certainly a significant milestone in my own career, but it wasn’t a goal I had set when I started this job. Instead, since June 2002, when I had the privilege to become Wagner’s 18th president, I have worked every day to provide We achieved some of the vision and the leadership to make our College the very best. our biggest successes Even so, this recognition — this moment, as I like to say “ — prompted me to pause and think about all of the things over the past several we have accomplished together since I arrived at Wagner. I realized that we achieved some of our biggest successes over years, as the world’s the past several years, as the world’s economy sank. economy sank. In many ways, the past nine years were some of the most difficult for higher education in memory. The Great Recession forced students and parents to re-think college choices, especially the question of how to finance an education. ” Loans that they used to rely on became more difficult to obtain. Furthermore, many states have cut back aid to higher education, so that the grants students bring with them are often less than they would have been in 2007.

But, through all of these changes, we have steered Wagner clear of most obstacles and created a strong, stable institution recognized around the country for our good work.

Helping in Global Crisis When Mallory Lee ’15, a recent graduate, was laid off from her tech start-up job in Brooklyn, she headed to Europe and joined volunteer efforts to help refugees from Syria and other war-torn countries who were flooding across borders and over the Mediterranean Sea. She worked in Greek camps on island of Lesvos and on the Macedonian border. The work is “heartbreaking one moment, joyous the next, and sometimes simultaneously,” she said. “It’s a place where desperation and hope intersect, and while I will never share the same experiences as these refugees, we are able to connect because we are all humans.” Now she is in Lebanon, where she volunteers with refugee children and moonlights as a bartender.

WAGNER in the Media “ The Wagner Plan is first year through senior year. So it’s not just internships in your senior year but, from … your first year, you’ll be doing outside-of-the-classroom experiences.

Brandon Stanton, creator of the well- known blog Humans of New York, encouraged students to trust themselves as they pursued their dreams. Nadia Lopez ’99 spoke of her educational journey to Wagner College and beyond. As principal of a school in one of New York City’s poorest neighborhoods, she says, “I have done there what I learned here at Wagner. … I’ve created a space where children are honored.” Finally, Romi Cohn remembered “escaping the angel of death many times” during the Holocaust, and spoke of his pride in being associated with Wagner College’s Holocaust Education Center.

The Historical Perspective on Diplomacy Wagner’s history department and the University of Paris-Sorbonne co-hosted a symposium, “International Relations, Diplomacy and Violence from the Medieval to the Early Modern Era,” in April at Wagner College. The meeting drew scholars from France, Italy, and Denmark as well as five U.S. states.

A New Approach to Economics Utteeyo Dasgupta, assistant professor of economics, spent the summer working on his research at the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research in Helsinki, Finland. He also presented his work in Helsinki and in Oslo, Norway, and enjoyed experiencing Finnish life and cuisine. Dasgupta and his co-authors are using sophisticated econometric techniques to investigate what effects enrolling in Delhi University’s selective colleges has on students. They are also studying other questions related to gender and caste differences. These studies on the intersection of psychology and economics belong to the field of behavioral economics. In the fall, Wagner launched what may be the nation’s first undergraduate program in behavioral economics.

Counselors Convene Upon the Hill The New York State Association for College Admission Counseling held its annual conference at Wagner College. It drew counselors from throughout New York State to see Wagner’s beautiful campus and experience the College’s hospitality, while they learned best practices in helping high school students prepare for and succeed in college. One longtime Wagner College friend, Robert Franek of the Princeton Review, tweeted, “@NYSACAC rocks this year! Just finished Adm[issions] talk with my old @WagnerCollege pals.”

Honoring a Great Leader The Department of Business Administration was renamed the Nicolais School of Business to honor Michael A. Nicolais ’49 H’14, who died on November 7, 2016. The son of Italian immigrants, he served in the Army infantry during World War II, receiving the Purple Heart, and became an investment manager for the Clark Estates and Wall Street firms. Nicolais served on the Wagner Board of Trustees and was a major College benefactor along with his wife, Margaret Christie Nicolais ’49 H’14. “His life is a testament to the very best of what America represents in its finest moments: high achievement, self-reliance and civic responsibility, all framed around foundational values of honor, duty, and the highest of ethical standards,” said President Guarasci. His daughter, Joan Nicolais, now serves as a Wagner trustee.

Achieving the College Dream Eleven high school students completed Wagner’s college readiness program, the Port Richmond Partnership Leadership Academy, and started their first year of college on scholarships. Eight of them joined the class of 2020 at Wagner College. Founded in 2013, this three-year program for students from Port Richmond High School in Staten Island is a pipeline to college attainment and civic engagement for teens who have a lot of potential, but could use a little extra push to achieve it.

WAGNER in the Media “ Free tuition is too simplistic a solution to an extremely complex problem. If we aren’t thoughtful in our approach to reforms, we’ll be hurting far more people than we help — and wind up putting the American dream even further out of reach.” — President Richard Guarasci, “Free Tuition Would Create More Inequities Than It Solves,” Austin American-Statesman, September 5, 2016

And he could not be more happy about how his college experience challenged him. At this point in his career, Morris has become one of the youngest people ever named a vice president at Fidelity Investments.

Although he is only in his early 30s, he has already put a plan in place to give a significant portion of his assets to establish a scholarship for economics students at the College. “To give someone else an opportunity to succeed in a similar field would be very meaningful,” he says.

ouise Wickert Murphy would have loved to go to college, her sons say. Born in 1906, the Ldaughter of German immigrants, she was only able to attain a high school diploma. But her lack of opportunity never dampened her love of learning and appreciation for higher education. She married Walter Michael Murphy Sr. in 1934. They had three sons, whom she inculcated with the unshakable conviction that they would go to college. And they did, all three of them, earning their degrees at Wagner College: Walter, class of 1958; Bob, class of 1960; and Hank, class of 1963 and master’s degree class of 1969. The brothers grew up in a cozy English Tudor home in Staten Island, just a couple of miles away from the Wagner campus. Creative, energetic, and disciplined, she filled the home with antiques that she picked up inexpensively and rehabilitated. She crocheted, knitted, and embroidered, making home decorations as well as her own dresses. Brothers Hank Murphy ’63 M’69 (left) and Bob Murphy ’60 hold a photo of their mother, Louise W. Murphy.
