AG Week 2016
AZ Cornell is always looking to make its presence on campus
bigger and better, and we started off Spring 2016 doing just that.
AZ Cornell is always looking to make
its presence on campus bigger and
better, and we started off Spring
2016 doing just that. For the first time
ever, AZ initiated Ag Week, a weeklong series of events that expands
our campus outreach and engages
more students in agriculture and
production. We combined forces with
two other agriculturally-focused Greek
organizations, Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR)
and Sigma Alpha (SA), to make sure the
week had the largest impact possible.
We kicked off Ag Week 2016 on April
18th with ‘Art of Agriculture’ on the
Arts Quad hosted by Sigma Alpha, an
event that featured a number of farm
animals, educational activities about
animal agriculture, and free barbecue
grilled on the spot by the boys from
AGR. The next event was the Ag Week
Alumni Panel, a panel of AZ, AGR, and
SA alumni that spoke to CALS students
about transitioning from Cornell to
a career in agriculture. AZ panelists
John Brouillette ’86 and Michael Gould
AG Day 2016
We are excited to build Ag Week
into an opportunity for AZ and CALS
students to interact with other colleges
at Cornell and foster relationships
between consumers and producers
alike. Hope to see you there next year!

Feldpausch ’17).
Ithaca, April 22nd -- Alpha Zeta hosted Spring Ag Day on the Quad. The day was
covered in liquid sunshine, which is preferable to snow. The Collegiate Farm
Bureau and FFA were present to promote their organizations. AZ’s venerable cook,
Peter, whipped up hot dogs, salt potatoes, sweet corn, and apple cider for lunch.
The Ag Day regulars, Rosie the Cow manning the cow chip bingo game and a
pair of lambs and calves, were joined by chickens from Dr. Bonnie ’89 and Connie
Potter’s ’16 miniature horse. The number of visitors was quite solid given the
weather – no doubt attracted by the animals. The group transitioned to the annual
Grill-Off in the evening. Always a hit on the Quad!
Emaleigh Perry
’11 were joined by Patrick Hooker
(AGR) ’84, William Morgan (AGR)
’89, Betsey Howland (SA) ’09, and
moderator Dr. Heather Huson. Even
though the panelists were each from
a different aspect of the dairy industry
(from milk production and processing
to agribusiness and ag policy), the
advice given ranged from taking
another English class to be a better
communicator, to seeking international
perspectives that reflect the globalized
food system that exists today. Thank
you again to our great panelists! We
finished off the week by speaking with
students at the Cornell Farmers Market
and hosting our annual Ag Day.
Chancellor’s Note
As I move towards my fourth and final semester as Chancellor, I see both the great progress that we have made and
the vast potential still to be realized in our Chapter.
We have taken strides this past semester to expand our campus outreach and hope to continue this effort in the future.
By gaining Dean Boor as an associate member and partnering with other campus organizations that share our goals,
we have created an even stronger network of current agricultural leaders to which our members, as future agricultural
leaders, may reach out. This past semester our House has renewed its commitment to service and our members have
jumped at opportunities to volunteer.
Our newest pledge class has invigorated our House and is excited to become even more actively involved this coming
semester. Members continually contribute new ideas for improvement and demonstrate how committed they are to
the ideals on which Alpha Zeta stands. It is inspiring to see how invested everyone is and how devoted our members
are to making the Chapter as great as it can possibly be.
I am confident that the trend that I have seen of a strengthening community in our House will continue and that more
and more we will see leaders rising out of our Chapter, whether that be within the House or in one of the many other
organizations that our members are a part of both on and off campus. I hope that my leadership over the past three
semesters has been a stimulus to the growth of our Chapter and that my final semester as Chancellor will be our
best yet.

Congratulations to Alpha Zeta’s Class of 2016!
It is an overwhelming mixture of emotions - happy, hopeful,
and nostalgic watching our seniors leave each year. This
spring, we part ways with an exceptional group of individuals
whose compassion and valuable roles in our house will be
dearly missed.
This year’s class includes several former executive board
members including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
former Censor Chad Crowley
former House Manager Dani Harris
former Steward Amber Bornt
Pledge master and former House Manager
Nicholas Culver
Philanthropy Chair Tiffany Hulka, former Treasurer, and
Philanthropy Chair Natasha Bartolotta, former Scribe
We also bid farewell to a family of passionate active
members including Emma Hallowell (Morale Enhancer),
Nathan Lindsey, Stefano Sarris, Jess Zou, and Jessica
White (former rush chair) who will be pursuing a veterinary
degree at Purdue University in the Fall. Connie Potter (Ag
Week organizer) will be advancing her impressive career in
agriculture and the life sciences beginning a law degree in
2017, and Sierra Helmann moves to Monterey, CA this fall
in pursuit of a master’s degree at Moss Landing
Marine Laboratories.
The diversity in our membership leads our graduates in many
different directions, among them, law school, vet school, and
the workforce. Wherever it be, we have in them the utmost
faith. Instilled with the power of knowledge and with Alpha
Zeta’s founding principles of high character, leadership,
scholarship and fellowship – we await news of the first of
their many successes with great anticipation. Congratulations
to Alpha Zeta’s Class of 2016!

Notes from
the Alumni Corp
Board
As the campus transitions to a summer
routine, AZ continues to press forward.
We are hosting the Summer Dairy
Institute for the Vet School for the
third year this summer. Practicing
veterinarians live in the house and
share meals and fellowship and attend
classes during the day. We are proud
to be involved in the program as a host
on campus. The Corp Board continues
to invest in facilities. Parking lot is
being repaired and top coated. Rooms
are getting fresh paint and plans are
in the works for a team of actives
to rebuild the back perimeter fence
in the fall. The board wishes all our
new graduates success in their next
endeavors and are excited to welcome
new members to the house. The fall
will find AZ very close to capacity
with active members, the first time in
several years. Look forward to seeing
folks at the summer picnic.
Fraternally, Jeff Perry

2016 National A gricultural
L eadership Conference
The 2016 National Agricultural Leadership Conference
(NALC) was held March 17–19 in Gainesville, Florida.
Hosted by the Florida Chapter, this year’s conference
was attended by Alpha Zeta members from 14 different
chapters, including Arizona, Cal Delta, Cal Eta, Cal Epsilon,
Cook, Cornell, Florida, Kansas, Montana, Morrow, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, and South Dakota. Students arriving on
Thursday were welcomed by keynote speaker Dr. Elaine Turner, who serves
as the sitting Dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the
University of Florida.
On Friday morning, students departed the hotel for tours of various agribusiness
and production companies in the Gainesville area. Such destinations included
food conglomerate Signature Brands, Peterson & Smith Equine Hospital, a large
Holstein dairy farm, a biotechnology incubator, a local brewing company, and a
small citrus operation owned by an Alpha Zeta alumnus. Later Friday evening,
conference attendees had the opportunity to watch the nationally-ranked Florida
Gators men’s baseball team defeat the Missouri Tigers in exciting walk-off fashion.
On Saturday morning, Alpha Zeta demonstrated its commitment to community
service by volunteering at Camp Wildwood, a local camp run by the Girl Scouts
of West Central Florida. Projects included tearing down old horse fencing,
constructing new fencing, and removing exotic plant species. After returning
from the service project, the students attended a series of workshops on topics
such as interviewing strategies, chapter development, faculty research activities,
and genetic engineering and communication. During Saturday’s banquet
dinner, the High Council awarded the highly coveted Founders Cup for chapter
excellence to the Cal Epsilon Chapter. The High Council also recognized the
Oklahoma Chapter as a “rising star” for its commitment to chapter development
and improvement. Next year’s NALC and Biennial Conclave will be hosted by the
Oklahoma Chapter at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK.
Christopher Castellano ’10
High Scribe
Editor’s note: Dick Church shared that the Holstein farm visited during NALC
was the 4,000 cow North Florida Holsteins owned by Don Beninck ‘61 (Cornell,
not AZ), formerly from Chautauqua Co, NY., probably the premier Holstein farm in
Florida, all registered animals, with high production and type. He always has a big
show string at the Florida State Fair.
National Initiation
A Warm Welcome to Dean Boor and New AZ Actives
On April 8th, Alpha Zeta Cornell
Chapter hosted its semi-annual
national initiation and opened the
doors to 18 new national Alpha Zeta
members. The ceremony was well
attended by alumni whose graduating
class years spanned decades into
the past.
Active members that were
nationally initiated included:
Stephanie Bishop ‘19, Tabatha
Brooks ‘19, Carter Collins ‘19, Collin
Dillingham ‘18, Justin Dye ‘19,
Cassidy Fletcher ‘18, Emily Green
‘18, Anupreksha Jain ‘19, Chrishell
Marble ‘18, Jordan Moody ‘18, Felix
Fernández-Penny ‘18, Emaleigh
Perry ‘18, Samarra Scantlebury ‘18,
George Stack ‘19, Alanna Staffin ‘19,
Greg Zimmerman ‘18, and Jessica
Zou ‘16.
These members span three pledge
classes most of whom are first year
students and sophomores who will
contribute to Alpha Zeta in their
undergraduate years and beyond in
fields of agriculture, life sciences, and
natural resources. Kathryn J. Boor,
Dean of the College of Agriculture
and Life Sciences, was nationally
initiated alongside the active members
as an honorary member of Alpha
Zeta. Dean Boor’s leadership with
Cornell Cooperate Extension as well
as previous service as a professor
and chair of the Department of Food
Science make her an exceptional
honorary member in terms of the
objectives of Alpha Zeta.
After the ceremony, a Thankgivingesque dinner and pies for dessert
were served for alumni and actives
to converse over. Once eating had
slowed to a crawl, the Alpha Zeta
House Awards were presented by
house advisor Timothy Oonk.
And the following actives
received awards…
• Emaleigh Perry was awarded
the Robert C. Baker award, an
award dedicated to Bob Baker who
was President of the AZ Cornell
Corporation Board from 1981 to
2000 during which time the AZ
house was reconstructed.
• Natasha Bartolotta and Jessica
Zou both received the Jeffrey
DeGumbia award, for their
enthusiastic involvement and
friendliness, representing the spirit
of Jeff.
• Anthony Arce received the Jeremy
R. DeBlock award, established in
Jeremy’s honor.
• Amber Bornt and Felix-FernandezPenny were awarded The Middaugh
Award for their good character and
leadership within the house.
The Alpha Zeta House Awards provide
financial support to members in AZ
who demonstrate a commitment to
Alpha Zeta, most of which are funded
in the honor and memory of brothers
who served AZ and their
communities well.

Upcoming House Improvements
There are many Alpha Zeta home improvement projects that have been brought
to the surface recently. Most of them will be taken on during the summer. One
important project is that many rooms will be getting a new coat of paint. I will
see to it that repairs are made to any bedroom walls and then they will get a new
paint job. The Middaugh Room will also be painted to complete the look that has
been updated thanks to our new cabinetry (the Craig Schenk Memorial) that was
put in place last summer. The fireplace in the formal room will be getting a face lift when the new insert is put in so we can
continue to have warm fires in the house but also do so safely.
A few improvements are also being made to the outside of the Alpha Zeta house. The parking lot is going to be resealed in
June and new lines will be painted. The current AZ sign we have in the front yard is going to be replaced with a new stone
sign, which will make it look elegant and updated. We are also looking to replant the AZ bushes and reseed the yard to have
lush green grass compared to what now is sparse grass with some bare dirt patches. Everyone in our house loves to spend
time outside and we want to be proud to call this place home, so we are very eager to see what this summer’s hard work
will have to show for itself.

CALS Charitable Trust Student Research Grants
and Academic Enrichment Program:
Providing uniquely valuable opportunities
for CALS undergrads
Submitted by Wendy Weichert and Paul Cerosaletti
Annual Research Grants Program:
The CALS Charitable Trust has a
long history of directly supporting
the academic pursuits of CALS
undergraduates. The longest running
of these efforts has been the Annual
Research Grants program. Through
financial support of the Trust, annual
research grants are awarded to
deserving CALS undergraduates
through a competitive grant process
administered through the CALS Office
of Academic Programs. Any fulltime CALS student may apply. These
research awards, amounting to $5000
for the 2015-16 academic year (with
no more than $1200 going to any
individual), help undergraduates fund
expenses associated with research
projects for academic credit under
the advisement of faculty mentors.
These research projects help students
learn how to conduct good research,
prepare them for graduate level work,
provide valuable experience in applying
for grant funding, and in some cases
fulfill honors program requirements.
Research projects funded cover a
wide range of topics. Grants fund
undergraduate research expenses
such as research supplies, services,
and travel to professional meetings or
conferences to present results.
Academic Enrichment Program:
In the last four years, the CALS
Charitable Trust has launched with
incredible success, the Academic
Enrichment (AE) program. This
program, reported on in the AZ News
previously, is designed to help CALS
undergraduates access funding
for short-term experiential learning
opportunities that complement their
interests and coursework yet are not
part of a requirement. The Trustees
recognize that enriching and rewarding
experiences beyond coursework can
offer students tremendous benefits
and round out their skills and abilities
as professionals. These types of
experiences, however, are often beyond
the financial means of students. These
awards have run the gamut of summer
internships to attending professional
conferences.
Connie Potter (IARD’16) received her first CALS Charitable Trust Academic Enrichment (AE)
grant in fall 2013. She asked the Trust to help her cover expenses (travel, housing, and meals) for
the “Cornell in Washington” spring semester program. In her own words:
“I interned at the U.S. Department of Agriculture for 3.5 months. This was my first ever
opportunity to see how the government and business side of agriculture functioned, and it was
an incredible experience. At the USDA I worked with a senior policy advisor on climate change
research, I assisted our Deputy Director on trade policy analysis, and compiled background
research for a number of other projects….I very much appreciate you investing in my education
and my future.”
The Trust again helped Connie travel to France for the summer 2014 to participate in the month
long international ISARA Agroecology program in Lyon. Connie then spent over a month interning on a family sheep and
grain farm in Vaunaveys, France. Connie wrote:
“Thanks to the CALS Charitable Trust I have been able to immerse myself in a different culture, study
different ways to make agricultural practices more sustainable, learn a new language, meet people from
over fifteen different countries, and become a member of a family, all in the period of three months! My
experiences this summer have changed for the better the way that I think about different cultures, the way I
define sustainable agriculture, and how I react when faced with new opportunities.”
Another AE grant contributed to airfare so Connie could travel to India in January 2016 with the IARD Ag in Developing
Nations course.
The CALS Charitable Trust is honored to have had the opportunity to support academically enriching activities like
Connie’s. Since 2012, there have been 62 grants awarded to 38 CALS undergraduates, providing $56,550 in support.
The CALS Charitable Trust Academic Enrichment program has been soliciting competitive AE RFPs from AZ undergrads
exclusively to date, which is a benefit for AZ members. As the program reaches a sustainable donation level, the program
will open to all CALS undergraduates.

In Memory
Harold Smith ‘36
John Almquist ‘42
Will Porter ‘49
Edwin Kinne ‘54
As we put together this issue
of AZ News, I was sad to read
about the passing of Will Porter.
For those of us who have spent
time at the house in recent
years, we knew Will as the spry
jokester with the great smile
and a touching before meal
prayer full of gratitude. I only
met Will a couple of times and
remember Homecoming 2015
when Will’s son, Ron drove him
to the annual meeting. He was
proud to introduce Ron with a
teasing word and love in his eyes.
Between member initiation and
the annual meeting, Will, Ron,
and I searched for Will’s picture
in the composite collection in the
Middaugh Room. Will reminded
his son that Ron had not known
Will back in the 40’s, so how
would Ron know what his father
looked like then? Ron, of course,
was familiar with Will’s college
photos (and his antics) and was
able to find his father’s picture.
Will proceeded to share stories
with us of the other young
men in the composite – full of
joy regaling a couple stories
of adventures shared. Even
as alumni ourselves, we are
honored to get to know fellow
alumni of another time. And
we will remember them fondly
beyond their time with us.
As always, we wish memories of
happy times to provide comfort
and peace to the families and
friends of our departed AZ
brothers and sisters.

Philanthropy
Alpha Zeta Fraternity prides itself on service
to the community not only in an agricultural
sense but in any manner that is possible.
Community is essential to the purpose
of Alpha Zeta and the Cornell Chapter
repeatedly demonstrates this, through
actively participating and hosting various
philanthropic activities throughout the
entire year. This past spring semester, Alpha
Zeta hosted a more than successful blood
drive with a higher turnout than expected.
Members of the fraternity assisted in setup,
registering donors, and making sure donors
were well hydrated and nourished.

Another philanthropy event that our Chapter takes part in every spring
semester is Ithaca’s Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics. Members of the
house take joy in this particular event as it gives back to the community in
a unique and memory-making way. Additionally, Alpha Zeta had a team for
Relay for Life, an all-night event the proceeds of which go to the American
Cancer Society. Chapter members also participated in Greeks Give Back
(formerly known as Day of Demeter) which is an all-Greek service day that
gives back to the Tompkins County community. Participants volunteered at
multiple locations including the Ithaca Children’s Garden and Cayuga Ridge
Extended Care. As is done every semester, Alpha Zeta hosted Ag Day this
spring in an effort to spread awareness of agriculture to Cornell students.
At Ag Day, there is always Cow Chip Bingo which raises money for the NYS
4-H Foundation. In addition to chapter events, the members of the fraternity
participate in other forms of philanthropy either as a part of the many clubs
and organizations that members are a part of, or as individuals helping the
community in their own way.
