  • Memorial Statements
    MEMORIAL STATEMENTS Cornell University Faculty 2019-2020 Office of the Dean of Faculty Ithaca, New York Editor Carrie Shugarts Copy Editor Jill Short 1 Preface The University Faculty has always followed the practice of including within the faculty records a memorial resolution on the death of one of its members. The faculty modified this custom that was begun in the earliest days of Cornell University in 1938 as follows: Upon the death of a member of the University Faculty, the President or Dean of Faculty shall formally notify the Faculty at the next meeting and those present shall rise in respect for the memory of the deceased member. The Provost shall then appoint a committee to prepare an appropriate memorial statement. Such statements shall not be presented in the form of resolutions, as in the past, but shall be annually collected, edited, and printed by the University in a memorial booklet, which shall be sent to members of the Faculty, to the families of the deceased members, and shall be filed with University records. This booklet, prepared by the Office of the Dean of the University Faculty, contains articles in memory of those twenty-five University Faculty members whose deaths were reported in the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. The names of the committee members who prepared the statements are given at the end of each article. 2 Richard J. Archer June 8, 1948 – September 14, 2019 Professor Richard J. Archer was born on June 8, 1948 and died September 14, 2019 following a battle with cancer.

  • Position Specification
    DHR International POSITION SPECIFICATION POSITION TITLE: Executive Director REPORTING TO: Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees LOCATION: Ithaca, New York THE COMPANY: The Sciencenter www.sciencenter.org The Sciencenter is a creative, informal science learning organization, located in a remarkable, small city in the beautiful Finger Lakes area of New York State. The Sciencenter has been successfully led by its first and only professional executive director, Charles (“Charlie”) Trautmann. He will leave the organization well positioned for the future: with a greatly expanded 40,000 square foot facility; many new and refurbished exhibits; the successful completion of a major capital campaign; enthusiastic and committed board members, advisory groups and volunteers; a dedicated and stable professional staff of 26, including an in-house exhibit design and production team and a large professional science education staff; and a balanced budget with diversified funding sources and an endowment. The Sciencenter, because it was literally built by the community, also enjoys an outstanding balance sheet of community goodwill that extends for generations. The approximately $2 million operating budget represents a unique business model among museums of its size: it is the beneficiary of more NSF and other grants per budget than almost any other museum and it is among the top producers of in- house museum exhibits that travel globally. The Sciencenter is now also touring exhibits built by other museums. In total, the Sciencenter manages 10 exhibits presently throughout the US and internationally. The Sciencenter has pioneered programming specific to three age cohorts: “early explorers” aged 0 to 5; “young scientists” aged 5 to 11; and “future science leaders” aged 11 to 14.
