In the fall, the program received three new vehicles from Polaris Industries worth over $30,000. “Polaris Industries has been instrumental to our program’s success, and we have placed graduates within Polaris dealer- ships around the country,” said Mark R. Hill, instructor for the program. “These new vehicles enable us to keep our curriculum technically current and relevant for our students.” This spring, students within the program are working on two projects. The Powersports program is co-sponsoring the Ameri- can Motorcycle Association (AMA) Pro Racing national race with St. Lawrence Radiology. Students are building a vintage endurance racer for Clyde E. Crouch of Hess Oil Corporation. Mr. Crouch recently donated $7,000 to the Powersports and Mechanical Engineering programs.

4 2011 SUNY Canton Magazine www.canton.edu faculty/staff news Burnett ‘E-Luminates’ the North Country North Country residents enjoyed viewing large amounts of snow this winter in a totally new way. Assistant Professor of Graphic and Multimedia Design, Matthew J. Burnett, in collaboration with artist Scott Fuller, created ‘E-Lumination’ on St. Lawrence University’s quad. Using banked snow, the artists molded multiple snow forms which were carved into spherical, human scale forms on the quad. The snow spheres were projected with colorful imagery that changed each eve- ning, drawing local community members to the event each of the five nights it was held. Partial funding for the exhibit was made possible by the Canton College Foundation’s Faculty/ Staff Awards Program. Harte’s Research Internationally Recognized Businesses that are engaged with the community and are focused on sustainability may be less likely to be involved in white-collar crime, according to Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice Brian K. Harte’s research. Harte received the Overall Best Applied Paper Award in January from the International Academy of Manage- ment and Business (IAMB) for his studies on the impact of federal regulations on corporate-level crime. The IAMB is a professional association dedicated to advancing the research, teaching, and practice of management and business worldwide through both academic publications and conferences.

Early on, she discovered the rules and lifestyle both on and off the court differed a bit from those at home. She spent her first weeks with the Roos team adjusting to the rigorous practices, a shorter shot clock, a new coach, and new teammates, but she was quick to adapt. Playing in the Sunrise Conference Post-Season Tournament has been one of the highlights of her time abroad. “Being there, bonding with the team, and having the chance to play for the title after arriving on campus only weeks before just blows my mind,” she said. Despite a heartbreaking two- point loss in the conference championship, the Bosnian had only positive things to say about her competitive experience. “The games brought the team closer together,” she said. “Each player gave 100 percent of what they had in both games. We left our hearts on the court.”

Employers filled the Richard W. Miller Campus Center In- tramural Gym for the College’s recent Career Fair. Their goal was to educate students about career opportunities in their fields of interest and to recruit students for possible intern- ships and jobs. Students were given the chance to learn from alumni whose careers began at the College’s previous Career Fairs. “The most important lesson I learned at SUNY Canton was that everything the professors taught me was important to my success and applicable in the work force,” said Ashley A.

But hard work is always rewarded. The best get called first every time,” he said. Following the presentation, Hughes met with Graphic and Multimedia Design students, answering additional questions about opportunities in the field and a possible internship with his company. Carr-Hughes Production in Saratoga Springs is a re- spected sports TV production company with a long history of handling international television coverage for sports like luge, bobsled, and skeleton. Hughes, an Automotive Tech- nology major while attending SUNY Canton, was a competitive luge athlete after graduating from the College. He went on to coach the 1984 U.S. Olympic luge team in Sarajevo before moving to television production.
