TIME TO STEP UP Planning to bring Gordon Science Center up to the next level. The View from the President’s Office By Todd S. Hutton

This has truly been a season of giving… and of growing. It would be hard to overstate the degree to which the Achieve: A New Dream, A New Era comprehensive campaign has transformed Utica College. We as a community have gone a very long way since the start of its silent phase six years ago. The Achieve campaign’s ambitious goals – far beyond any previously envisioned for this institution – seemed significant challenges at that time, even in advance of any notion of the nearly unprecedented global financial crisis that lay ahead. And yet with only a few months remaining, Achieve has been a remarkable success by every measure. This speaks to an astounding level of commitment to the College and its mission on the part of our alumni, students, families, and friends. Your unwavering support has helped to bring UC up to a new level of achievement with respect to teaching and learning, scholarship funding, campus infrastructure, and annual support. While this is cause for celebration, there remains much to be accomplished in the months and years ahead. As you will learn from this issue of the Pioneer, the College is planning a long-awaited renovation of Gordon Science Center – a multi-phased project that will gradually transform this revered landmark into a fully-appointed 21st Century center for learning in the sciences. We are also “We are preparing seeking to strengthen UC’s operational profile and enhance the student experi- to realize the full ence by striving to surpass the $1 million mark in unrestricted annual giving for the first time in our history.

I speak for many when I say that I look forward to the challenges and achievements that lie ahead for this institution and to your active participation in its progress.

UC’s School of Business and Justice Studies has launched a new non-profit news-gathering initiative focused on issues affecting residents of New York state. Headed by Associate Professor of Journalism David Chanatry, the New York Reporting Project at Utica College (NYRP-UC) is charged with producing high-quality stories across a variety of media platforms for publication by media partners and distribution on NYRP-UC’s Web site. Its mission is to serve the public interest through engaging explanatory journalism that shines a light on important public issues in New York state. An integral part of UC’s journalism program, NYRP-UC will also offer student journalists an opportunity to gain real-world experience in their field. “Our project is defined by geography, not by a particular reporting beat, so our topic area is necessarily broad,” said Chanatry, a veteran network news producer and reporter. “NYRP-UC will be reporting on the environment, energy, the economy, public health, politics, and other issues. We will also profile New Yorkers who are doing interesting and significant work in their fields.”

Transformation.® pioneer 13 winter 2010 unexpected TREASURE elatively few who know of UC are fully aware of its rich artistic endowment, perhaps best represented by the College’s impressive collection of Routdoor sculpture. Hidden in plain sight, these works are of a quality and provenance more typically associated with those on display at major universities. Here is a brief introduction to some of the pieces you may encounter on your next visit to campus.

HOMMAGE À WAYNE NEWMAN PALMER Rainer Maria Wehner

Commissioned and dedicated in memory of Wayne Palmer in 2005, the piece pays tribute to the late mathematics professor’s life, work, and many contributions to Utica College. The sculpture was created through a partnership with Sculpture Space, a unique international artist-in- residency program located in Utica. Utica College invited Sculpture Space to develop a competition among its professional artist alumni. A jury of UC faculty and staff selected the design of Wehner, a German artist whose sculpture is displayed in public collections in Germany, America, and Japan. The work’s design honors Palmer’s legacy in many ways. In his proposal, Wehner wrote, “Connected with the ground, earthy and solid, three cubes are installed in such a way that they seem to be piled up. But the cubes are not made of solid material – they are defined by their outlines. Looking from the side, the way they are arranged reminds the viewer of the basic discovery in mathematics: a2 + b2 = c2.” In addition, the recycling symbol in the sculpture’s base recalls Palmer’s scholarship fundraising efforts Carolynne Whitefeather contributed to this article. as well as his commitment to environmental issues. pioneer 14 winter 2010 Utica College PASSAGES UNTITLED MOTHER AND CHILD THE PIONEER Mark Abildgaard (From the Nike series) William Zorach Henry DiSpirito Maria Andriopoulos Hall Gifted to the College in The third of only six Commissioned by Dean 1986, the ranging profile Created by international- bronzes cast by the artist Ralph Strebel and fash- of this intriguing piece ly acclaimed Greek-born from the original marble ioned from pink granite, describes the contours artist Maria Andriopoulos piece, Zorach’s Mother this work was preceded of the North American Hall, Untitled is part of the and Child represents by a plaster model continent from West sculptor’s “Nike” series. a major milestone in DiSpirito – UC’s artist in to East.

pioneer 16 winter 2010 Utica College Finding Joshua Howe

A commission founded by Professor Jan DeAmicis works to uncover an important link in Central New York’s freedom trail.

Most visitors to the fifh green at Utica’s Valley View golf course bring a putter. On this particular July morning, however, one carried a magnetometer. The device had been brought to this placid setting by Adam Schoonmaker, assistant professor of geophysics, who was part of a multidisciplinary team searching for evidence of Joshua Howe, ex-slave, one-time resident of this patch of land overlooking the city, and reputed local stationmaster on the Underground Railroad.

In this respect, says Larry Aaronson, Harold T.

In the lab that I teach in right now, there are three long benches that are bolted to the wall at one end and long bays, so that if I have to get to a student at the back end of the bay, I’ve got to crawl over three or four students, and it’s just difficult,” says Aaronson.

UTICA COLLEGE 2009 – 2010 President’s Report

UTICA COLLEGE President’s Report 2008–2009

When the Achieve: A New Dream, A New Era concludes on May 31, 2011, the Utica College community will have cause for celebration. The campaign long ago surpassed the aggressive goal of $25 million, raising $31.2 million in gifs to date. What’s more, we have already seen the campaign’s profound impact on campus and off. ◆ F. Eugene Romano Hall and the Economic Crime and Justice Studies Building, both constructed under the aegis of Achieve, have transformed the teaching and learning environment by furnishing faculty and students with state-of-the-art classroom and research space. ◆ The Harold T. Clark Jr. Endowed Professorship, established through the Achieve campaign, has furthered the scholarship of faculty members like Theodore Orlin and Lawrence Aaronson whose work has national and global impact. ◆ The Annual Fund, the primary source of unrestricted financial support and an important yardstick by which institutions are measured, has reached the threshold of the crucial $1 million milestone for the first time in UC’s history. There will be other campaigns in UC’s future, and, as they should, they will be greater in both ambition and scope. Nevertheless, from where I sit, the Achieve campaign, its many highlights, and its many alumni and friends who stepped forward to pledge generous support even in the face of one of the worst financial recessions of our time, will forever constitute a defining chapter in Utica College’s history. The following Honor Roll of Donors recognizes the individuals, businesses, and foundations to whom the Achieve campaign owes its success. To those of you whose names appear in this report, I thank you for your participation in this campaign and for your belief in Utica College.

UC’S NEW MICRO-MASCOT Sometimes the biggest news comes in the smallest packages. And when Har- old T. Clark Jr. Professor of Microbiology Lawrence Aaronson and two of his former students get the opportunity to name a microorganism they themselves have discovered, that is big news indeed. Aaronson said they’ve been studying the microbe for a number of years now. “Everything we’ve learned about it tells us that it has not been characterized before,” he said. “We still have a little more work to do to confirm that it doesn’t match anything in the genetic databases, but we’re pretty close to that.” Close enough for his research partners – Julia Van Kessel ’03 and Amanda Butler ’09 – to take a crack at naming it. “They called it Pseudomonas Juliana – afer themselves,” said Aaronson, laughing. As personal names are not allowed, the official name will probably be something like Pseudomonas uticaensis, thereby immortalizing UC in the international genomics databases. Aaronson let his charges down gently. “I had to break it to Julia and Amanda that, per the rules, you can’t name a microorganism afer yourself,” he said, then added with mock-chagrin, “not to mention the fact that they lef me out of the name! They indulged me by saying that the letters ‘l’ and ‘a’ in the middle were my initials, but I didn’t buy it.”

Sixteen years later he was diagnosed with to cover his hometown New York Yankees as a beat Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. reporter. However, on a deeper level, AJ is a builder, Although characteristics of autism vary greatly, most and by all accounts he was born to be one. individuals with Asperger syndrome, ofen referred to as high-functioning autism, are characterized by As a child, he would spend long stretches of time impairments in social interaction and communica- – in some cases hours – repeatedly stacking or lining tion, eccentric childhood behavior, and struggles up his toys.

Raising the Bar At 5-foot-10 and generously 130 pounds, AJ is the big man on campus. “I don’t think there’s anybody on campus who doesn’t know him,” says Aaron Jeffery ’10, who cap- tained UC’s men’s hockey team as a senior. “Everybody knows AJ – everybody.” “He’s one of those dynamos who’s all over campus,” explains Jim Smith, assistant professor of physical therapy. “You see him at every campus activity. You see at the dining commons. You see him in the hallway. You see him covering sports for the newspaper. You see him everywhere. I don’t know how he does it.” AJ has raised the bar on what it means to be an engaged student leader, many students and faculty say. “He ran for president of the Asian society,” Jeffery says. “He’s involved in everything this campus has to offer; it’s pretty amazing. He just loves to be around people and being involved in this school.” His Asperger’s diagnosis in fall of 2008 as well as his family’s – and especially Nicky’s – experience with autism inspired AJ to start the Autism Awareness Club and recruit members across campus. The club, which was formally recognized as a student organization in January 2010, now has more than 60 members, more than only a handful of other student organizations at UC. A few members have autism; the balance of the membership is comprised of students with diverse reasons for supporting the club’s mission.

The club has also provided AJ the framework to do It was not until his sophomore year at Utica College what he enjoys most – build. He has created a culture when he was diagnosed with Asperger’s that he learned of awareness and a community of advocates. otherwise. “People were coming up to me saying, ‘Do “I realized I needed to teach people (about autism) you have some kind of disability?’ I said, ‘Well, maybe because anyone could have a child that’s diagnosed I’m still autistic.’ If people are still asking me, that’s got with autism, and they need to know what it means to to be the reason,” AJ says. have autism and what it doesn’t mean,” AJ says.
