Upon accepting the appointment of presidency, Dr. Kenny sighted '"what a great privilege and a great challenge it is to be named president of Stony Brook. I truly believe that ... outstanding research, graduate education and undergraduate education are what public institutions are all about," she said. When asked what she will do on her first day as Stony BrookPresident, Dr. Kenny said that there are several things that have to be top priority. 'When you look at what is happening with the undergraduate education, which is something the campus is very concerned [about] ... I think them are questions of where to go in terms of curricular development to take the very best advantage of the quality of faculty at Stony Brook and the amernities that go along with education," she said, noting the there are problems with the dormitories. 'We really need to deal with extra-curricular and co- curricular issues," Dr. Kenny said. 'Those issues are on the very forefront At the same time to continue to direct and develop the graduate curriculum and graduate research project and to intertwe those two is very important And finally, of course what is happening in medical education and at the Medical Center will need priority as well." (In Sunday's Newsday there was an article on the shortage of cadavers at the Medical School, whereas applicants for the program are steadily increasing.) In responding to a question that asked what is one of the principal problem areas that she wants to deal with, Dr. Kenny focused on something that not many people who are tied up with the everyday experience of Stony Brook life take notice of. She said that it is important to make New York State "aware of how important Stony Brook is to the future of this state. This is a -University that is known throughout the country as an outstanding institution,' she said. TIm not sure that the awareness within the state is as strong as the national perception." Another important issue that ties in with the national perception of the University is the decision to move to Division I athletics fiom Division HI. Dr. Kenny seems to endorse the move, but is practical about how it will be done. 'That move will take a number of years because the sports program must move through Division I[ to Division I," she said. "So it's not that we're going to wake up tomorrow and be in Division I. It is extremely important that the move be accompanied by real concerns for the quality of education ofthe studentathletes, and thinkthatinthatareaapresident is very important in terms of remembering that an athletic program is not enteraisnetit is an educational experience," said Dr. Kenny. One of the main reasons why Dr. Kenny was chosen to be the next president of the University is due to her emphasis onundergraduateeducation. Ronald Douglas, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies, has met Dr. Kenny on two occasions. These opportunities arose when a group of Stony Brookfaculty and administrators went to Queens College to exchange information about their programs. 'I am excited, delighted iat she has been chosen," he said. When asked what he is expecting of the new presidents Douglas said, 'I'm expecting to have somebody come in and take a firsh look at the University." On a different spectrum of the University, Lt. Douglas Little, spokesman for the University Police, said that he is looking forward to meeting the new president and plan to show -her how the University Police "is a part of the educational process as. a law enforcement agency." When it comes down to the unomforta elatip 0betweendie dmclstyonfu stfdsntsatStony Brook, Dr. Kenny said that the key is a better line of .commuication between'the administration and students. However, the 'the actual mode of doing so will depend on the campus and what structures are already there; what works. At Queens College, she taught one semester per year and she sees that as 'the best way to know where students are because the generations change very rapidly," she said. ,It is not only important to be accessible to student leaders, but to other students as well. One of the most important things I believe in administration is to break the barriers between faculty, staff, and students and to understands in the education institution is a single com ity and we are all working for the same ting."9 Dr. Kenny is married to Robert W. Kenny. Together they have five children and one grandchild. 'Tm looking forward to the challenges of Stony Brook," she said.
