  • B. 1. Existing Land and Water Uses 11·3
    SECTION II INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS A. OVERVIEW The Town of Poughkeepsie has a coastal area that is characterized by a diversity of largely urban land uses while retaining many significant. natural and cultural resources. With approximately two miles of frontage on Wappinger Creek and 8.5 miles on the Hudson River, the Town occupies an important position in the Mid-Hudson Valley's economy. The proposed coastal boundary ranges from 700 to 7,000 feet inland from the water's edge. The railroad and topography have both played a part in the development of the Town's waterfront -- effectively limiting access. A mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses occupy the coastal area; some of these uses are water-dependent. Several businesses and institutions including the Hudson River Psychiatric Center, Marist College, Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery, IBM and New York Trap Rock quarry occupy large sites which further limit both physical and visual access to the Hudson River. Section B below describes the various natural and man-made features of the coastal area and their implications for waterfront policy making. Section C highlights major issues and opportunities that this Local Water Revitalization Program will address. B. INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Field surveys, previous studies and published data were all used to assemble an inventory of existing conditions and features of the coastal area. Base maps were prepared to illustrate the data and photographs taken to record selected images. The results of this inventory and analysis process are presented below and illustrated on the accompanying maps. 1. Existing Land and Water Uses a.

Values Statement The College fulfills its mission by pursuing three ideals: excellence in education, a sense of community, and a commitment to service. These ideals were handed down to us by the Marist Brothers who founded the College. Now an independent institution governed by a lay board of trustees, Marist continues to embrace the three ideals as an integral part of the College mission. Excellence in Education Marist achieves its ideal of excellence in undergraduate, graduate, and professional education by actively engaging each student through exemplary teaching and distinc- tive learning opportunities. At the undergraduate level, this begins with a firm foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. Through the core curriculum and major fields of study, students learn to think logically and creatively, to synthesize and integrate methods and insights from a variety of disciplines, and to express themselves effectively orally, in writing, and through media.

  • Newsletter Issue 4-2019-Fall
    LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE AT VASSAR COLLEGE Newsletter Issue 4, Fall 2019 It Takes a Village/College: A History of the Vassar College Lifelong Learning Institute By Mihai Grunfeld on the inception of VCLLI I joined the Vassar College faculty in 1987 and was blessed almost right away to become a part of a local Chavurah - a small group with whom we celebrated the Jewish holidays and learned about Jewish spirituality. There I met David Bloom with whom I began running every morning, rain or shine, on the beautiful Vassar campus. As the years passed and our running slowed down to a vigorous walk, our admiration for this lovely campus moved toward musings about retirement and what we were going to do once we got there. David reached “there” in 2011 and joined the Bard College Lifelong Learning Institute the same year. Our conversations now often touched on how much he was learning and how great the LLI courses were. The only problem, according to my friend, was that Bard was far away. We understood that the closest LLI at Marist College, the Center for Lifetime Study, had a long waiting list - so long, we were told, that some “people died before making it in.” This was both a credit to Marist’s offering, and reflected an unmet need. There were, of course, several other LLIs in the region, including SUNY New Paltz Lifetime Learning Institute, Lifespring in Saugerties, ENCORE at the Orange County Community College and LIFE at Mount St. Mary College, but all these were still relatively distant from Poughkeepsie.
