Ensuring the University's Future

I AM FORTUNATE TO BEGIN MY TWO­ year term as president of the Syracuse University Alumni Association at such a significant time in the history of our univer­ sity. The Campaign for Syracuse University, which will officially launch on November 2, is an important foundation for the vision of Scholarship in Action, and the support of all alumni is key to the campaign's success. The Alumni Association, working with the Office of Alumni Relations, is focused this year on three priorities to support these efforts: Celebrating Orange, Creating and Maintaining Lifelong Connections, and En­ suring Stewardship of the Future. The first priority is to celebrate with alumni the accomplish­ ments of students, faculty, and staff at Syracuse University and the vision of Scholarship in Action. There are so many exciting things happening on campus that alumni often cannot experi­ ence. The Office of Alumni Relations, in collaboration with our alumni clubs around the country, is organizing programs to take on the road that share these exciting happenings. In addition, we are working to celebrate the accomplishments of alumni, both great and small, that continue to add to the reputation of our university. The second priority is to help create and maintain connections with all alumni and our students. Over the last several months, we have held successful "soft landing" events for recent graduates in cities around America, hosted send-offs to help welcome new students into the Syracuse family, and welcomed alumni back to campus as part of our new Homecoming+ Reunion activities. The third priority is perhaps the most important: Ensuring Stewardship of the Future. The university we all enjoyed as stu­ dents was made possible by the contributions of those alumni who came before us. It is now critical that as alumni today we ensure for future generations of Syracuse students the same outstanding experience we enjoyed. I encourage all alumni to learn more about The Campaign for Syracuse University and the vision of Scholarship in Action, and to actively contribute your time, talents, and treasure to support our university.

Go Orange!

Pictures of the University decorate t he walls and bulletin boards, and every Friday, the class­ room is awash in SU orange, as children and teacher wear the SU colors for University Spirit Day. The act ivities are part of "No Excuses University," a nationwide school initiative designed to promote high academic expectations and college readiness among children. The initiative, which W inchester joined last year, encourages elementary school classrooms to "adopt" a college or university, and Powell says h e chose SU for two reasons: He knows the University, having lived in Syracu se while his father completed his master's degree at SU, and he wants to e xpand his students' hori zons.

Alumni Travel » The Peaceful Balkans Beckon

CROATIA WAS THE LAST PLACE THAT Andrea Robinson '79 expected to find a piece of Syracuse University history. As she explored Zagreb, the capital, this June, she happened upon the house-turned-mu­ seum of internationally renowned sculp­ tor Ivan Mestrovic. An SU professor in the early 1950s, Mestrovic crafted the Moses and Supplicant Persephone pieces located in the Sculpture Court outside Shaffer Art Building. Robinson spoke with museum officials about Mestrovic's time at SU . "It was a great connection," she says. Robinson traveled through Slovenia and Croatia for 15 days as part of an SU Alumni Association trip to the Dalmatian Coast. The trip hit such highlights as the Riviera-like scenery created by the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and the historic coastal cities of Dubrovnik, Split, Opatija, and Zadar. As the group discovered, these nations, all part of the former Yugoslavia, are on the verge of a tourist boom, making now the time to go. Sites and views are clear of tourist hordes and prices remain rea­ sonable. "They don't have the tourist base quite yet," Robinson says. "As it becomes more popular, the prices and crowds will change accordingly." A stop at Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reminded the awestruck group of the region 's not-so-distant war troubles. "Someone asked if we had to watch out for landmines, which is not normally a question I ask when I go into a national park," Robinson says. "Our guide said not to worry if you stay on the trail. But that The coastal city was an eye-opener." of Dubrovnik in This combination of natural and urban Croatia (above) provided a beauty, as well as cultural diversity, struck dramatic view for Jean Jonnard '51 , who took the trip with visitors as part her husband.

Games in Atlanta. Following his success there, Lencheski returned to SU, earning a bachelor's degree in liberal stud­ ies from the College of Arts and Sciences. From that point on, Lencheski's involvement with sport management and marketing grew exponentially, as did his level of success. Today, he is the founding president and CEO of SKI & Company, a sports and entertainment marketing communications company with a large practice in motorsports and the high-performance automotive industry. Internationally recognized as the first global mar­ keting agency of record for a major auto manufacturer, SKI accepted General Motors' GM Racing account in 2004. Headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with offices in New York City and London, SKI & Company continues to rapidly grow under Lencheski's leadership and will open offices this year in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

PASSINGS

Charles L. Borgognoni Monsignor Charles L. Borgognoni, 84, died July 19. He was the Roman Catholic chaplain at Syracuse University from 1962 to 1991 and a major supporter of the University's John G. Alibrandi Jr. Catholic Center, which opened in 1982. He also served as chaplain to the SU foot­ ball and basketball teams, attending nearly every game, and was a prominent figure in local community theater. He received many awards, including the College of Visual and Performing Arts Award, a citation by Governor Mario Cuomo for service to SU and the Syracuse com­ munity, and the Varsity Club Honorary Letterman of Distinction. A fund is being established at SU in memory of "Father Charles." For more information on how you can contribute, contact Deborah Armstrong at 315-443-9165 or [email protected].

Raymond F. von Dran School of Information Studies Dean Emeritus Raymond F. von Dran, who served as dean for 12 years before stepping down in July, died from a sudden illness on Jul y 23 at age 60. Throughout his career, von Dran broke new ground to help bring library and information science schools into the Information Age. He was a founding member of the !-Schools Group, a national consortium of academic institutions focused on the relationship between information and people, and was among a core group of visionaries who helped define the emerging academic field of informa­ tion studies. He led the School of Information Studies through a period of unprecedented pro­ ductivity, during which the number of faculty and students nearly tripled, sponsored research increased five-fold, and four of the school's programs earned top-four ran kings from U.S. News & World Report, including the top-ranked master's program in information systems. Prior to joining SU, von Dran served as dean of the information schools at The Catholic University of America and the University of North Texas. He is survived by his wife, Gisela, a retired professor and director emerita of the School of Information Studies master's degree program in library and information science; and a daughter, Beth. To support von Dran's vision and to continue the success he created at the school, a fund has been established in his name. Donations can be sent to the SU Raymond F. von Dran Fund, c/o SU School of Information Studies, Office of the Dean, 343 Hinds Hall, Syracuse University, Syracuse NY 13244.
