A program-record 305 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2008- 09 season, showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. Following the successful integration of the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams last season, the program has expanded to a record 21 intercollegiate teams – including seven new teams established in the last two years alone.

    PART I THE BUDGET BY FUNCTIONAL AREA EDUCATION, LABOR AND FAMILY ASSISTANCE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS MISSION The primary responsibility for oversight and administration of the State’s artistic and cultural resources is assigned to three existing entities — the Council on the Arts, the Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation and the New York State Theatre Institute. The 2003-04 Executive Budget proposes the establishment of the New York Institute for Cultural Education to administer a variety of statewide cultural education programs and important cultural institutions. Working together, these agencies expand access to the performing and fine arts, preserve the State’s cultural resources and promote greater public awareness of New York’s rich cultural heritage. ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING The Council on the Arts is headed by a Chair and a Vice Chair and consists of 20 members nominated for 5-year terms by the Governor with confirmation by the Senate. The Council’s staff, headed by an Executive Director, is organized into an Administrative Division and a Program Division, both located in New York City. The Council has expertise in several major artistic disciplines (including dance, theater and music) and provides advisory services and financial assistance to New York’s arts community. During 2003-04, the Council on the Arts will have a workforce of 52 for the review, processing and administration of arts grants and loans to nonprofit organizations. The Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation (the “Egg”) was established in 1979 as a public benefit corporation to administer a performing arts center in Albany that offers a diverse array of cultural and artistic programming.

    Maple Hill Junior Paw Print Issue 4 June 2021 Peter Gannon, President and CEO of the United Way of the Greater Capital Region, takes a selfie with students during the kick-off of the two-day visit of the Covid Mural, Still Life with Gratitude, by Rachel Baxter and Poem, “What We Have Now,” by D. Colin, on May 13 and 14, 2021. Here is a sampling of Covid Mural and Poem writings from students. An acrostic poem by Cain Stone, grade 7 Many flowers Using many meanings. Remembrance And Life with gratitude. A tricube poem by Nava Schuerholz, grade 7 Lilacs and forget-me- nots can help people to remember those who have suffered during the pandemic. A reflection from the Mural’s Perspective by Gabe Price, grade 7 I arrived at Maple Hill High School on a sunny day. I was set up outside in their outside classroom. I was lonely until the children came to visit. The first class came down with older students. They loved looking at me and even put round stickers on me.I heard the kids talking and most kids thought I was interesting. I think I am important because I represent a disease that is going around. I support all that were affected. I love my moons which represent time. I am happy we are now getting closer to everyone not needing a mask. I have never seen anyone without a mask ! I love that I am a collection of bright flowers. One of the stickers was from a seventh grade boy who made a picture of a virus and crossed it out.

    A staple in the New York region and an emerging program on the national stage, the Manhattanville College Athletic Department continues to bolster its reputation as a program on the rise in all areas: athletic achievement, academic success and overall participation. More than 300 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2009-10 school year showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. Following the successful integration of the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams in 2008-09, the program has expanded to 21 intercollegiate teams – including seven new teams that have been established or re-established since 2007 alone. And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Seven different programs earned conference regular-season or tournament championships in 2009-10 – a total bettered by only 13 Division III schools – and two Valiant teams (baseball and men’s golf) appeared in the NCAA Tournament. Fifteen of 21 Valiant teams earned berths in their respective conference championships last year, including confer- ence championships for the baseball, men’s golf and men’s hockey pro- grams. Three Manhattanville teams (men’s hockey, women’s hockey and women’s soccer) also received national rankings over the course of the year, the most in a single school year since 2004-05. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2009-10 as well. A program-record four Valiants – A.J. Mikkelsen and Mickey Lang (men’s hockey), Katie Little (women’s hockey) and Dan Fiorito (baseball) received All-American accolades, while an incredible six players were named conference Player of the Year.
