PROCCI ’68 CHAIR, WAGNER COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 3 FROM THE PRESIDENT Reflecting on a Milestone 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. 4 WAGNER COLLEGE New York City dignitaries including Mayor Bill DeBlasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña visit the Wagner Raiders Center in Port Richmond High School and meet students in Wagner’s Port Richmond Partnership Leadership Academy, a college-readiness initiative.

The Wagner Plan, recognized RICHARD GUARASCI, PH.D. PRESIDENT, WAGNER COLLEGE 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 5 THE WAGNER YEAR IN REVIEW Winter/Spring 2016 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. One of the awesome things about the school.” — Rob Franek, Princeton Review senior VP and publisher, on WPIX-11 news, February 23 FACULTY in the Media “ We are past the point of globalization. We’re really at the point of what we call the ‘globality,’ where markets are in sync, countries need each other.” — Richard LaRocca, assistant professor of business administration, on BBC Radio 5 Live show “Up All Night,” February 25 “ We need to be having frank discussions, leading to actions, about how our culture rewards greed at the expense of human life — especially the lives of the poor and oppressed minorities.” — Alexa Dietrich, associate professor of anthropology, “Teaching Environmental Crisis and Justice,” NYU Press From the Square blog, February 1 6 WAGNER COLLEGE THE WAGNER YEAR IN REVIEW Celebrating Achievement On May 20, the 610 members of Wagner’s class of 2016 commenced the next stage of their lives.

  • The Destruction of Art
    1 The destruction of art Solvent form examines art and destruction—through objects that have been destroyed (lost in fires, floods, vandalism, or, similarly, those that actively court or represent this destruction, such as Christian Marclay’s Guitar Drag or Chris Burden’s Samson), but also as an undoing process within art that the object challenges through form itself. In this manner, events such as the Momart warehouse fire in 2004 (in which large hold- ings of Young British Artists (YBA) and significant collections of art were destroyed en masse through arson), as well as the events surrounding art thief Stéphane Breitwieser (whose mother destroyed the art he had stolen upon his arrest—putting it down a garbage disposal or dumping it in a nearby canal) are critical events in this book, as they reveal something about art itself. Likewise, it is through these moments of destruction that we might distinguish a solvency within art and discover an operation in which something is made visible at a time when art’s metaphorical undo- ing emerges as oddly literal. Against this overlay, a tendency is mapped whereby individuals attempt to conceptually gather these destroyed or lost objects, to somehow recoup them in their absence. This might be observed through recent projects, such as Jonathan Jones’s Museum of Lost Art, the Tate Modern’s Gallery of Lost Art, or Henri Lefebvre’s text The Missing Pieces; along with exhibitions that position art as destruction, such as Damage Control at the Hirschhorn Museum or Under Destruction by the Swiss Institute in New York.

  • Wagner College Graduates 721
    A8 SATURDAY, MAY 12, 2018 STATEN ISLAND ADVANCE SILIVE.COM A total of 721 degrees were awarded, including bachelor’s, master’s, post-master’s certificates and first doctorate degrees at Wagner College’s commencement ceremony yesterday. Jan Somma, Staten Island Advance photos GRYMES HILL Wagner College graduates 721 Allie Griffin [email protected] Wagner College President Dr. Richard Guarasci told graduates at the school’s 133rd commencement ceremony Friday that he personally believes their generation will be the one to fix the sometimes divisive times of today. “You are a new generation capable of heal- ing our social divides, building a fair and just social order and it’s imperative that you rise to this historical moment,” he said to gradu- ates and their families. He mentioned his 4-month-old grand- daughter, Zoey, who is multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and he said he often thinks about how she will experience the world. “What gives me hope that her life will be one marked by meaning and honor is what I’ve learned here at Wagner — that your gen- eration is a generation of transformational leadership to honor the pledge in creating a world of liberty and justice for all,” Guarasci said. This year’s commencement was the 100th graduation ceremony held on Wagner Col- lege’s Grymes Hill campus. The school was founded in Rochester, New York, and moved to its current address in 1918. A total of 721 degrees were awarded, including bachelor’s, master’s, post-master’s certificates and first doctorate degrees. Graduates and their families sat outdoors for the ceremony, under a tent on Sutter Oval and were lucky with the beautiful, sunny weather.
