KCC Urban Farm Feeds Appetite for Art, Science, Literature, and Discourse

hen the KCC Child Development Center decided to use the KCC Urban Farm as Wthe setting for a pre-K art class where they would paint rocks to decorate the farm, the kids got an unexpected food surprise. Before they could even pick up a brush, they each yanked a fresh carrot from the soil and took a chomp! The art lesson shows how the farm, a quarter-acre plot originally intended as a source of fresh produce for the College’s Culinary Arts program, enhances many areas of study across campus.

6 KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2014 When Earth and Planetary Sciences professor Kieren Howard asked students to compare the farm’s compost-laden soil to samples of simulated dirt from Mars and the moon, they discovered how the garden represented the earth’s systems through water, rock, and carbon cycles.

The farm also provides opportunity for discussion about food justice and healthy eating. English Professor and KCC Reads Coordinator Maureen Fadem nominated Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals and oversaw the process of its selection as the College’s common reading for 2013-2014.

The farm collaborated with KCC Reads for “Food Talk” on National Food Day, panel discussions on the book, and for an agriculture exhibit at the KCC Reads annual conference—cultivating a campus dialogue around factory farming and commercial fisheries, the rise of micro-farming, and options for producing and finding organic, local food. Students were inspired to examine the politics and economics of food, including the problem of “food deserts” that have an impact on theirs and the lives of many New York City residents.

Last year, students received more than 1,200 pounds of fresh produce grown on the farm and distributed through the campus Food Pantry in partnership with Single Stop, a program designed to help break the intergenerational cycle of poverty by connecting individuals to resources like food pantries, schools, and According to Babette Audant, some of the most health care.

Increasing college opportunity for low- income and disadvantaged students Kingsborough joined the national discussion on the future of higher education when Interim President Dr. Stuart Suss participated in an invitation-only White House summit hosted by President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in January 2014. The daylong summit was dedicated to launching a plan of action for increasing college opportunities for low-income and disadvantaged students.

Dr. Suss made three major commitments to action while at the summit: increasing the number of students completing a college-level math course by the time they achieve 30 credits, building on Kingsborough’s nationally recognized Learning Community Program by designing a new learning community focusing on quantitative reasoning, and raising the pass rates for students in the developmental math course sequence.

A LEGACY OF SERVICE AND TENNIS With a combined total of 77 years at Kingsborough, Dr. Rachelle and Mr. Barry Goldsmith felt it was time to give back. Rachelle, who started as an instructor in the Department of Health and Physical Education in 1971 and now runs the Honors Program, and Barry, who has coached Kingsborough’s tennis teams to two national championships, have made a “significant” double-handed “serve” to the college. The Rachelle and Barry Goldsmith Tennis Facility is a tribute to their commitment to the sport.

Brooklyn natives who both grew up in public housing, the Goldsmiths have designated money for the KCC Athletics Wave Fund, for the enrichment of the student-athlete experience. “We want to reward the kids who have done well and need monetary support to stay in school,” said coach Goldsmith.

The Goldsmiths want to set an example of investing in the future. “We leave a little bit of ourselves there,” says Rachelle. “It’s laying a foundation,” she adds. “Hopefully others will follow our example and contribute, because I know many faculty, students and staff who just love their Kingsborough experience. It’s a very unique place,” said Dr. Goldsmith.

HELPING OTHERS PURSUE THEIR DREAMS When Steven V. Maksin came to America from the Soviet Union in 1989, he dreamed of becoming a lawyer; yet he hardly spoke any English. Today, as the head of a highly regarded law firm specializing in tax planning, he credits Kingsborough with laying the foundation for his success and helping him realize his dream.

He praises the College’s “very caring, very pragmatic and helpful professors” with helping him learn English, get acclimated to American culture, and gain entrée into the system of higher education. “Kingsborough is a perfect place for people like me to get a second chance,” he says. “It really helped me excel.”

He established the Steven V. Maksin Endowed Scholarship to give financially challenged students “a little break.” His hope is that they will follow his example in the years to come. Maksin’s advice to tomorrow’s leaders: “The world is in front of you. Grab it, use it, and give back.”

WHY ONE FOUNDATION KEEPS INVESTING IN KINGSBOROUGH Mr. Christopher Santangelo Mr. Syed J. Shah The Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation Inc. began its relationship with Mr. Peter Santiago Mr. Mahvish Shahid Kingsborough in 2012. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, then-president Regina Mrs. Barbara Santonas Ms. Katelyn Shankey Peruggi requested emergency funds for students. The Foundation not only came through with help: they have since provided scholarship funds for Kingsborough Mrs. Ana B. Santos Mr. Joel Shantzer students. Beth Lief, the foundation’s executive director, said her foundation’s board Dr. Paul Saperstein Ms. Susan F. Shapiro cares deeply about Kingsborough students and wants them all to succeed. Mr. & Mrs. Alexander Ms. Valentyna Shapran Sapozhnikov Before foundations award funds, they take care to make sure they are investing in Mr. Aleksandr Sherman Ms. Evelyn Saput worthy causes. Lief believes the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program’s 2013 Ms. Lioudmila Sherman ranking of Kingsborough as one of the top four community colleges in the nation is Ms. Jean Sarachman-Bernieri a resounding endorsement, but she’s also observed it firsthand. “I’ve met with the Mr. Edwin Shorr Prof. & Mrs. Gary B. Sarinsky current president, the past president, the provost,“ says Lief. “They are people who Ms. Barbara Shovlin ≜ are very thoughtful. They really look to do things better.” Ms. Deborah Sarria Ms. Natalya Shtol
