The series has mirrored the College’s student body as the topics Aincluded nursing, military, and liberal studies. In 2010, Excelsior provided underwriting support for the production of a video documentary on the current and forecasted shortage of nurses nationwide. As the largest producer of nurses in the United States, Excelsior is well positioned to have a positive impact on this vital societal issue. Produced by WCNY, the public television affiliate in Syracuse, New York, “Inside the Nursing Crisis” is a Renee Gecsedi, New York State Nurses Association (center), participates in a four-part, two-hour examination of this serious issue panel discussion alongside Dr. Mary Jo Laposta of Saratoga Hospital (left) and that includes commentary from some of the nation’s top Mary Therriault of the Healthcare Association of New York State (right). Mary Lee nursing experts and hospital administrators. Excerpts Pollard, dean of the School of Nursing (background), moderated. from this series provided the basis for a panel discussion on October 27 at the headquarters of the New York State Nurses Association. Serving the needs of America’s military population— active duty, reserve, National Guard, and veteran—is one of Excelsior’s more important endeavors with nearly one- third of its students fitting this description. On November 7, Excelsior presented a talk by Dr. Lawrence Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and former U.S. assistant secretary of defense. Before an audience of civilian and military personnel that gathered at the head- quarters of the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs, Dr. Korb spoke on “National Defense in an L–R: Dr. Lawrence Korb, former U.S. assistant secretary of defense, answers Age of Austerity.” Maj.

Jerry Neff, BSL ‘87. dence at the College, served as moderator for the event. He and another alumnus, retired Brig. Gen. Jerry Neff, joined Dr. Korb for a spirited round of questions and answers. Capping off the fall speaker series was an evening of poetry on December 6 with Robert Pinsky, U.S. Poet Laureate from 1997 to 2000. Over the past four decades, more individuals have earned degrees in liberal arts at Excelsior than any in other discipline awarded. Thus, it was fitting to have such a renowned poet participate in the College’s anniversary speaker series. In a unique and expressive event, Mr. Pinsky read selections of his works with musical interplay performed by a jazz trio led by Brian Patneaude, award-winning saxophonist. Former Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry Robert Pinsky capped off the 40th Anniversay Speaker Series with a poetry reading accompanied by a jazz trio. Live & Learn 40th Anniversary Edition | 3 Keeping a Tradition Alive A digital model (shown on the right-hand monitor) of one of the characters created by artist Len Tantillo was used to guide the final painting (as seen on the detail provided on the left-hand monitor). 4 | Live & Learn 40th Anniversary Edition Artist blends technology, research, and talent to create a Keeping a Tradition Alive work of historic proportions BY DANA YANULAVICH lending present-day technology with traditional artistic techniques, artist Len Tantillo brings history to life in his many paintings. Much like Excelsior College uses technol- ogy in new and innovative ways to deliver educational opportunities to students, Tantillo has embraced digital modeling in conjunction with conventional paint- Bing techniques to offer rich depictions of the past. In 2011, Excelsior President John Ebersole commis- sioned Tantillo to create a historical work in honor of the College’s 40th anniversary. The artist, widely known for his insightful research to create deeply perceptive histori- cal works, was challenged by the task. Forty years, after all, is not that old in a historical sense, and Excelsior doesn’t have stately, ivy-covered brick buildings on its campus that might create an obvious artistic backdrop. Tantillo explained the conundrum, “Excelsior isn’t a place. Excelsior is an idea. So, how do you paint an idea?” A skilled researcher, Tantillo started with his own instincts and imagination. His first thoughts were along the lines of itinerant professionals and doctors who made house calls. He thought, “I wonder how many other services like that there could have been?” With the seed planted, he began his exploration. “That refrain of a college without walls kept kind of echoing in my head.

Volume 77 • Number 2 The Official Publication of the Tennessee Nurses Foundation Summer 2014 I Am TNA Students, Nurses, Faculty Hold Nurses Day on Dr. Esther Christian Sellars, MSN, RN (District 10) Capitol Hill at TNA Legislative Summit I AM TNA. The importance of this ownership goes back to the first nurse of color, Mary Eliza Mahoney (May 7, 1845 – January 4, 1926). She studied and worked as a professionally trained nurse in the United States, graduating in 1879, and in 1908 she co-founded the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses Dr. Esther (NACGN) with Adah B. Christian Sellars Thoms that eventually merged with the American Nurses Association (ANA) in 1951. I am what I am today because of this strong leadership, and the recognition by one so significant, that association with others is more important than being separate and because of that realization; merging with ANA. As part of a whole, I am able to collectively make changes and address issues that are relevant to my profession. Memberships in the Tennessee Nurses Association (TNA) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) are what make us a whole; it is a collection of our voices. I received my BSN in 1989 from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences, an MSN in 1997 from Arkansas State University, and completed my Ed.D. in 2003 from The University of Memphis. I can attest to the importance of the TNA advocating on my behalf. I have worked hard to make my personal dreams come true.
