Building Relationships, Inspiring Success 2015 ANNUAL REPORT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, INSPIRING SUCCESS. Strategies that Support Success Grounded in the conviction that all young people genuinely want to do well, the Ramapo Approach is a set of strategies and tools designed to help young people overcome challenges and experience success. Whether on our Rhinebeck Campus or through our work in schools and youth service agencies, our staff members help create supportive environments and make sure no one gets left behind. 2 RAMAPO 2015 Supporting Success from Early Childhood to Independence For many of our partners, families and alumni, the connection to Ramapo is emotional and deeply personal. Perhaps it’s simply because we work on behalf of children who are society’s most vulnerable. Perhaps there is something more. When our children are born, we have lofty aspirations regarding parenting and how we want to be seen in our children’s eyes. When a college or graduate student comes to work at Camp ,RESPONDING, ,REFLECTING, Ramapo, they are armed with great optimism about the impact REPAIRING they will have on the children who will be entrusted in their care. When an emerging professional makes the choice to be a teacher in an urban school, they enter the classroom with an ADAPTING FOR ambitious vision for the role they hope to play in their students’ INDIVIDUAL NEEDS lives. Yet all of us—parents, teachers and anyone who works with children—discover at some point along the way, that the job we actually have is not always exactly the one we envisioned. Children can be challenging. Despite our best intentions, there ,CLEAR EXPECTATIONS, are moments when we feel ill-equipped or catch ourselves STRUCTURES & ROUTINES saying or doing things that seem incongruous with the people we aspire to be. By giving adults a richer toolbox for responding when children challenge their expectations, Ramapo enables teachers, RELATIONSHIPS & caregivers and parents to exercise patience when they might ROLE MODELING otherwise get frustrated, or to be generous when they might otherwise show anger. Ramapo helps all of us be the parents, educators, mentors and coaches that we had hoped to be when we began our journeys. In a nutshell, Ramapo helps us all THE RAMAPO TOOLBOX be the best version of ourselves. That is why Ramapo holds a special place in the hearts of so many. On behalf of the entire Ramapo team, thank you for helping us achieve another year of growth and success. Without our partners and donors, none of our accomplishments would be possible. In the coming year, Ramapo will continue striving to fulfill its potential, and help more and new people do the same. ADAM WEISS TERI GOLDBERG HOROWITZ Chief Executive Officer Board President RAMAPO 2015 3 BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS The Ramapo Approach enables caregivers to ensure that children acquire the social and emotional foundations they will need later to deal with stress, overcome challenges and succeed in school. Strong relationships between children and their caregivers at the earliest stages of life are critical to healthy social, emotional and even neurological development. 4 RAMAPO 2015 Supporting Family Daycare in NYC In 2015, Ramapo launched our first workshop for family daycare providers, through support from the Edith Glick Shoolman Foundation.

  • Reporter Privilege: a Con Job Or an Essential Element of Democracy Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility Public Scholar Presentation November 14, 2007
    Reporter Privilege: A Con Job or an Essential Element of Democracy Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility Public Scholar Presentation November 14, 2007 Two widely divergent cases in recent months have given the public some idea as to what exactly reporter privilege is and whether it may or may not be important in guaranteeing the free flow of information in society. Whether it’s important or not depends on point of view, and, sometimes, one’s political perspective. The case of San Francisco Giants baseball star Barry Bonds and the ongoing issues with steroid use fueled one case in which two San Francisco Chronicle reporters were held in contempt and sentenced to 18 months in jail for refusing to reveal the source of leaked grand jury testimony. According to the testimony, Bonds was among several star athletes who admitted using steroids in the past, although he claimed he did not know at the time the substance he was taking contained steroids. In the other, New York Times reporter Judith Miller served 85 days in jail over her refusal to disclose the source of information that identified a CIA employee, Valerie Plame. The case was complicated with political overtones dealing with the Bush Administration’s claims in early 2003 that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. A number of other reporter privilege cases were ongoing during the same time period as these two, but the newsworthiness and the subject matter elevated these two cases in terms of extensive news coverage.1 Particularly in the case of Miller, a high-profile reporter for what arguably is the most important news organization in the world, being jailed created a continuing story that was closely followed by journalists and the public.

  • OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony
    OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony Tahanie Aboushi | New York, New York I am counsel for Dounya Zayer, the protestor who was violently shoved by officer D’Andraia and observed by Commander Edelman. I would like to appear with Dounya to testify at this hearing and I will submit written testimony at a later time but well before the June 15th deadline. Thank you. Marissa Abrahams | South Beach Psychiatric Center | Brooklyn, New York As a nurse, it has been disturbing to see first-hand how few NYPD officers (present en masse at ALL peaceful protests) are wearing the face masks that we know are preventing the spread of COVID-19. Demonstrators are taking this extremely seriously and I saw NYPD literally laugh in the face of a protester who asked why they do not. It is negligent and a blatant provocation -especially in the context of the over-policing of Black and Latinx communities for social distancing violations. The complete disregard of the NYPD for the safety of the people they purportedly protect and serve, the active attacks with tear gas and pepper spray in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, is appalling and unacceptable. Aaron Abrams | Brooklyn, New York I will try to keep these testimonies as precise as possible since I know your office likely has hundreds, if not thousands to go through. Three separate occasions highlighted below: First Incident - May 30th - Brooklyn - peaceful protestors were walking from Prospect Park through the streets early in the day. At one point, police stopped to block the street and asked that we back up.

  • FY19 Annual Report View Report
    Annual Report 2018–19 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 6 Season Repertory and Events 14 Artist Roster 16 The Financial Results 20 Our Patrons On the cover: Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes a bow after his first official performance as Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director PHOTO: JONATHAN TICHLER / MET OPERA 2 Introduction The 2018–19 season was a historic one for the Metropolitan Opera. Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.
