Serving Others, Close to Home
For seven years, Centenarians
traveled hundreds of miles each
January to help communities
devastated by hurricanes on
Louisiana’s Gulf Coast. When
Hurricane Sandy leveled the Jersey
shore and other parts of the region
in october 2012, lessons learned
from Centenary’s Annual Disaster
Relief Project provided help to those
affected by the natural disaster.
Taking Care of the
Community
In northwestern New
Jersey thousands
found themselves in
the dark and without
power in the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy.
Trinity United Methodist
Church responded by
providing emergency
shelter, Internet service,
and keeping the Lord’s
Pantry open for people
who needed food. Senior
Pastor Rev. Dr. Frank
Fowler, a member of the
Centenary College Board
of Trustees, also reported
that approximately 1,000
“Flood Buckets” were
collected and distributed
to the Jersey Shore
to provide essential
cleaning supplies.

’06 had to do something.
Though the Centenary
alumna does not have
friends or family on
the Jersey Shore,
Shannon L. Colditz ’06
watching the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy prompted her to take charge.
Colditz organized “Restore the Jersey Shore” and
offered her Hackettstown home as a donation
drop-off center. Word spread quickly. Two days
after announcing the effort on a local radio station,
volunteers, including many from Centenary College,
filled four trucks with non-perishable items and
supplies and a convoy of volunteers headed to Brick
Township and Point Pleasant, N.J.
“People were showing up asking how they could
help and what they could go buy,” Colditz told
WRNJ Radio. “It was simply amazing!”
WrnJ radio
Before, during and after Hurricane Sandy, WRNJ
Radio, Hackettstown’s local radio station, was a
constant source of information and news. The station
not only kept residents informed, but also promoted
relief efforts using the airwaves, its Twitter feed and
continual website updates.
WRNJ Radio’s President and General Manager is
Norman Worth, who served on the Centenary College
Board of Trustees from 1993–97 and 2003–present.
He was honored with a Gold Dome award at the
2012 Centenary College Scholarship Gala last June.
Hip Hop Has Heart Foundation
Prospective students and their families attended
Centenary’s Open House on November 10, 2012,
which made it the perfect occasion to collect canned
goods and bottled water for those displaced by
Hurricane Sandy. The effort was sponsored by
Centenary, Hot 97 radio station and the Hip Hop Has
Heart Foundation.
Items collected during the Open House were
distributed to area shelters by the Foundation,
which was founded in 1994 by Hot 97 radio station
to respond to community needs. The Foundation
has raised more than $1 million, participating with
organizations such as the Chancellor’s Literacy
Program, the United Negro College Fund, Walk to
Cure Diabetes, Safe Horizon, September 11th Fund
and AIDS Walk New York.

Learning to Make a Difference
Academic year begins
with Community Plunge
Donning navy blue T-shirts, more than 260
Centenarians kicked off the academic year on
August 27, 2012, by clearing brush and weeds from
a vacant Hackettstown lot, harvesting produce for
local food pantries and volunteering for some of
northwest New Jersey’s most vulnerable populations.
It was Community Plunge, an annual rite-of-passage
that introduces first year students to Centenary’s
longstanding tradition of serving others.
The daylong event, featured in The Star-Ledger,
sent Centenary volunteers to 18 sites, including the
Business Improvement District (BID) in downtown
Hackettstown, the Matheny Medical and Educational
Center in Peapack and the Antler Ridge Animal
Sanctuary in Newton. A requirement for all first year
students, Community Plunge is one of the College’s
many service initiatives that challenge Centenarians
to put ideals into concrete action.
Through Midnight Run, a program that delivers food
and supplies to New York City’s homeless, “Ethiopia
Reads,” an international literacy project brought to
the campus by the late Professor Emeritus Robert
T. Quade ’96 HA that the Athletic Department
continues in his memory, and other volunteer
projects, the College community donates more than
21,000 service hours each year. The depth and
variety of these efforts spurred the Corporation for
National and Community Service (CNCS) and the
U.S. Department of Education to name Centenary to
the President’s Higher Education Community Service
Honor Roll in 2012.

Students and community members joined the
fun when Centenary College’s NASCAR Kinetics:
Marketing in Motion team hosted an official
NASCAR viewing party on October 21, 2012, at
Donaldson Farms in Mansfield, N.J. The team was
named one of the top five viewing parties nationally,
and the NASCAR evaluator’s summation of the
event included this high praise for the Centenarians:
“I was blown away by this entry — awesome job by
this team!”
“The team really thought out of the box,” said
David Perricone, Assistant Professor of Sports
Management and team advisor. Most events are
held at bars, he said, but the team wanted to tie the
event to Halloween with pumping picking, painting
the pumpkins to look like cars, and sack races.
NASCAR Kinetics, begun in 2009, gives college
students the opportunity to work on
business challenges in the motorsports
industry. Centenary is among

Academic
Innovation
for a Global
Economy
Centenary introduced three new academic programs in Fall 2012.
Building on the College’s established record of innovation in higher
education, the programs equip students with skills and knowledge
the 21st century economy demands.
6 The Centenarian
L
ike many in his generation, Ken Cadematori ’13 is deeply
concerned about climate change. Soon to be one of
the first to graduate from Centenary College with the
new Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, he
believes the specialized degree provides the knowledge and
skills that one day may enable him to help a company become
“greener,” and perhaps mitigate the effects of global warming. The
College’s proximity to natural resources is also a major advantage
for environmental study.
“We definitely get a lot of hands-on experience,” Cadematori said.
“We took samples from the Musconetcong River, and examined
them to identify different species. We’ve been to the fish hatchery,
and to a bird sanctuary. There’s just so much you can do.”
Meeting emerging needs
in the Knowledge economy
As the American economy has changed, so has Centenary. The
starting point for the creation of relevant academic programs
with direct application to the 21st century economy was the
recognition of emerging needs. In the case of Centenary’s new
Environmental Science major, it was the ever-growing number
of students opting to pursue the existing Environmental Science
minor. According to Environmental Service Director and Assistant
Professor of Biology Lauren Bergey, Ph.D., “Environmental
science is such a huge field that we attract more than just science
students.”
Dr. Bergey also noted ongoing community concerns about
environmental sustainability and the legacy of past pollution.
“Anybody who lives in New Jersey and has a degree in
Environmental Science pretty much doesn’t have to worry about
a job. We thought if we provided Biology students with a high
level of technical knowledge on environmental issues, they
would be leading candidates for positions in education, research,
conservation, policy and land use management,” she said.
The Environmental Science major stresses the interdependence
of all species, with a particular emphasis on environmental quality,
land stewardship, human health and the impact of local actions on
the global community. According to the U.S. Department of Labor,
employment of environmental scientists is expected to increase
25 percent between 2006 and 2016, significantly faster than most
occupations. Management Information Services, Inc., estimates
that by 2030 more than 17 percent of all anticipated employment
in the United States will be associated with “green collar” jobs.

new Jersey’s
Changing Schools
The new Master of Education in Reading, also
offered for the first time in Fall 2012, grew out
of changes taking place in New Jersey schools.
Assistant Professor of Education Frances
Congdon said an advisory board of principals,
superintendents and former teachers were
instrumental in shaping the new graduate
program. “They kept telling us that teachers would
really appreciate it if Centenary started a program
like this. Classroom teachers are certified, but they
like to go beyond that and get a master’s degree
in an area that would enrich what they do in the
classroom,” she said.
The program prepares graduates to work
with students from kindergarten to grade 12,
supporting Early Literacy programs right up
through high school. “We based our program on
addressing the new Common Core Standards,”
Professor Congdon continued. “So the teachers
who are completing the program will be leaders
in their schools in terms of literacy, and in meeting
the Common Core Standards.”
Degrees that Open Doors
A competitive American economy requires highly
responsive degree programs. Centenary College’s
School of Professional Studies (SPS) continues
its entrepreneurial approach to education with
programs that advance the careers of busy
professionals. Offering associate, bachelor’s and
8 The Centenarian
master’s degrees in an accelerated and convenient
format, SPS introduced the Bachelor of Arts in
Sociology with a concentration in Organizational
Studies this past August. Deirdre Letson, Ph.D.,
Vice President for Enrollment Management and
the School of Professional Studies, called it “a
degree that opens doors.”
“A Sociology degree allows a person to get
into a variety of fields, including business,
human resources management and nonprofit
organizations,” Dr. Letson explained. “The focus
on Organizational Studies adds a piece that is
typically found in a business program. It prepares
people for everything from a nonprofit to a Fortune
500 company, combining much of what is needed
in the workforce today.”
The new degree program also follows the
hallmarks of an SPS education. Taught by
instructors who emphasize real-world applications
of learning, the curriculum combines theory and
practical experience. Students immediately apply
knowledge acquired through the program to their
current professional activities.
Students also select the instructional method that
best fits their often-hectic schedule. Some courses
take place in a traditional classroom, others are
offered online, while a number use a blended
approach that incorporates both.
The Master of Education in Reading is also a
blended program. In many courses, students
come to campus one week, then join an online
thinkers
and Leaders
discussion the following week. Professor Congdon
sees this as an especially effective combination.
“They like the face-to-face interaction they get
in the classroom with the professors, but it is
so much nicer not to have to come every week
because they all are full-time teachers,” she said.
Teachers can also earn supervisory certificates that
allow them to go into classrooms and supervise
or evaluate colleagues. “There is a growing need
for supervisors, given the number of evaluations
most districts now require,” observed Professor
Congdon. “There aren’t enough administrators.
Graduates of our program can fill this need, and
they are already in local school districts.”
Centenary educators note that the introduction of
the supervisory certificates is especially timely. In
November 2012, Newark public school teachers
ratified a tentative agreement that would make
the district the first in New Jersey to grant
performance pay and allow educators to review
one another. Education leaders throughout the
State have called the new teacher’s contract
“groundbreaking.”
“Allowing educators to review one another is
a very valuable tool, and a way of creating a
collaborative environment. Teachers who have
earned a Master of Education in Reading at
Centenary will have both the preparation and
certification required to fully participate in this
process,” Professor Congdon said.
Partnerships in Learning
In the last decade, Centenary’s academic
programs have been enriched by strong
partnerships with industry, government
agencies and nonprofit organizations throughout
the region and state. Dr. Bergey noted that
expansion of the Environmental Science program
has strengthened the College’s ongoing
relationship with the Charles O. Hayford State Fish
Hatchery, located just down the street from the
Hackettstown campus.
The partnership with the fish hatchery is another
way Centenary students can get crucial experience,
while at the same time performing valuable
research and experiments. “We were sending more
and more students down there for internships, as
well as helping them out during their busy season,”
Dr. Bergey said. “Out of that came the idea of a
partnership between Centenary and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service through the Hayford Hatchery.
We realized that by creating an environmental major
in conjunction with the partnership at the Hatchery,
we would be able to create a unique opportunity for
students to get hands-on, experiential learning
right in the middle of nature.”
The introduction of new academic
programs, combined with flexible
degree programs and hands-on
learning opportunities, has Centenary
at the center of academic innovation.
Dr. Letson believes the College has
not only changed with the times,
but is ahead of the curve, putting it
out in front of other, larger institutions.
“I think one of the reasons we are
able to do this is because
we are smaller. Within
a small organization,
it is easier to affect
change, easier to
innovate.”
Centenary College welcomed
11 new faculty members who
are thinkers and leaders in
their fields of expertise for the
2012–2013 academic year.
The addition of these highly
credentialed scholars places
Centenary in an even stronger
position to enhance current
academic programs and
introduce relevant curricula that
prepare students to become
leaders in the 21st century
knowledge economy.

Up for a
Challenge
Centenary student-athletes are resilient when it comes to competition.
Recognizing the Cyclones’ commitment to excellence, the Reeves
Foundation has announced support for a fundraising challenge that
will bring a critical capital improvement closer to reality, and propel
Centenary Athletics to a new level of play.
I
t looked like the season was about to come
to an end. The Cyclones were trailing 1–0 in
the 60th minute of a pivotal Men’s Soccer
game against Gwynedd-Mercy. One minute
later, everything changed. Joseph Backham ’14
netted two goals and the victorious Cyclones
were on their way to the Colonial States Athletic
Conference (CSAC) Tournament.
The come-from-behind victory is just one example
of Cyclone resilience. Women’s Soccer ended its
season 6–4–1 in CSAC play and earned the sixth
seed in the CSAC Tournament, though it fell to
Neumann University in the first round. The season
will be remembered for the eight players who were
named 2012 All-Conference members by CSAC.
“Centenary student-athletes and coaches are tireless
when it comes to preparing for competition,” said
Director of Athletics Billie Jo Blackwell ’97/09.
“We also recognize opportunities when they present
themselves, then take advantage of them.”
The dedication and drive demonstrated by Centenary
teams has garnered critical support from a longtime
friend of the College. The Reeves Foundation has
issued a fundraising challenge to the Centenary
community and will donate $450,000 over a fouryear period, contingent upon the College raising
$950,000 for the Athletic Turf Field Project. Part
of The Cyclone Athletic Fund, the project involves
the construction of a new artificial turf field that
will be used by the Men’s and Women’s Soccer
and Lacrosse teams, provide greater recreational
opportunities and enhance facilities that will make
Centenary an even more attractive choice for the
best and brightest scholar-athletes.
“Completing this project has a direct impact on
dedicated student-athletes who strive to be the best
— in the classroom and on the field,” said Diane
Finnan, Senior Vice President for College Relations.
“Gifts of all sizes will help us meet the Reeves
Challenge and move Centenary Athletics to the next
level.”

Two legendary Centenary teams joined the
Athletics Department Hall of Fame during the
2012 Homecoming & Alumni Weekend: the
1979 Equestrian Team and the 1957 Brotherton
Basketball Team.
The Equestrian Team was honored for its
outstanding performance under great duress at
the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA)
national championships in 1979. The evening before
the championships, team coach Ralph Gillis died
suddenly. The team rode in the coach’s honor and
captured the National Hunt Seat Title, a feat not
repeated again until 2009.
The Brotherton Team, a squad of 14 seniors,
enjoyed an undefeated season when the College
was Centenary College for Women. The team
defeated Lotte Hall and North and won the
Inter-Dorm Championships in 1957. The season
also included a win over the men of Alpha Delta
House from Lafayette.

One enchanted evening
Two great organizations, Enchanted Makeovers and Centenary
College, came together for one tremendous benefit, the “She
Is Me Event,” on August 11, 2012. The evening introduced
many to the issues of homelessness among women and
children, especially how the transformation of sterile shelters
into warm and inviting living spaces can empower people in
crisis.
Above: The crowd
enjoys the festive
evening; ellen BaarsBanks ’93 speaking at
the “She Is Me event.”
“I feel so lucky and fortunate to be involved with two
nonprofit organizations that are near and dear to my heart,”
said Ellen Baars-Banks ’93, who orchestrated the event, held in the David and
Carol Lackland Center. Baars-Banks is a Centenary Trustee and member of the
President’s Circle, a group of alumni and friends who serve as advisors to the College
president and ambassadors to the broader community. Two years ago, she became
Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Enchanted Makeovers, a national nonprofit that
organizes and sponsors makeovers of shelters and rescue missions throughout the
country in order to inspire psychological and behavioral change. Many who volunteer
or support Enchanted Makeovers find their own lives transformed when they put
their hands and hearts into inspiring positive change at these vital community safety
nets.
That was certainly the case for Baars-Banks. A few years ago, she was asked to
donate T-shirts produced by her company, Transformation Tees, to a fundraiser for
a homeless shelter in Jersey City, N.J. It was there that Baars-Banks met Enchanted
Makeovers founder Terry Grahl. “We talked for hours,” Baars-Banks recalled. Even
after the event ended, “[Enchanted Makeovers] just got in my head. I was waking
up at 3 a.m. thinking about it.” The Centenary alumna then put her 30 years of
business experience to work for the organization in various roles, from grant writing
and marketing to marshalling support for the organization in the form of volunteers,
resources and donations.
As a result, the good work of Enchanted Makeovers was recognized by Major
League Baseball’s “All Stars Among Us” and named the AOL Cause of the Day in
July 2012. The “She Is Me Event” was a chance to introduce the Michigan-based
nonprofit to a New Jersey audience, many of whom are alumni and friends of
Centenary College. Fifteen women from an area shelter also attended the event.
In a world where people are increasingly divided into haves and have-nots,
Enchanted Makeover’s mission, and events like “She Is Me,” are means to breaking
down walls and bringing people together, Baars-Banks said. “We’re not so different,”
she stated. “Going through a shelter makeover really changed me forever. There was
such unity among the people working together, and to see the impact on the shelter
before and after, you know it’s changing lives.”

Coming Home
to Centenary
The last time Valerie A.
Wilson ’62 saw Centenary
College, John F. Kennedy
was in the White House, the
former Soviet Union was
stockpiling missiles in Cuba
and gasoline cost 31 cents
per gallon. The alumna was
pleased and proud of the
transformation of her alma
mater when she returned for
the 50th Reunion of the Class
of 1962 during Homecoming
& Alumni Weekend, October
12–14, 2012.
“I knew the College I was
going to visit was going to
Valerie A. Wilson ’62
be very different than the
one I attended,” said Wilson,
a development professional who has held senior leadership
positions with a host of nonprofit organizations for more than
30 years. “Intellectually and emotionally, how would I feel
about that?”
Wilson was not disappointed on either count. “There were
certainly landmarks that resonated with my memory, and it was
also exciting to see the new buildings. I was glad that previous
administrations recognized that in order to survive, it was
necessary to change and Centenary seems to have done it quite
successfully.”
Wilson certainly knows a lot about change. She served as vice
president for development of Stevenson University, an institution
of higher education that underwent a similar transformation as
Centenary from two-year, women’s college to coeducational,
baccalaureate and master’s degree granting university.
Throughout a long and successful career, the Centenary alumna
also worked in nonprofit environments that included the arts,
health care, social service and historic preservation.
Wilson is especially proud of the work she accomplished for
the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, where
she served as Director of Development. She credits a strong
administrative team for a major fundraising campaign that
increased the endowment, constructed new buildings and
impacted students for generations to come. “It’s very gratifying
work,” she said. “Through your collaborative work you’re able to
leave a wonderful legacy.”
With her many decades of experience working in higher
education, Wilson admits she could be a tough critic returning to
her own alma mater. “I think the College did a superb job with
the Reunion. They made it such a meaningful experience for
everyone who was there. I would also encourage people to come
back and reconnect with classmates and the College,” she
continued. “Even though Centenary has changed, I think they
would be very proud. I’m so glad I made that decision.”

Picturing Centenary History
Professor of History and College
Historian Dr. raymond Frey ’12
Ha pored through more than 200
pictures in the College archives
for his recently published book,
Centenary College, New Jersey.
“A lot of people
are walking
around campus
with the book
open, trying to
line up where
things were.
That’s really
kind of neat.”
Dr. Raymond Frey
’12 HA
When did you decide to write a history of
Centenary College?
Actually, Arcadia Publishing came to me. They
asked if I would be interested in writing the book.
What guidance did you get from the publisher?
They produce a college history series. All of their
books are 125 pages, 18,000 words and about 200
pictures. They send you grids of where the pictures
and the captions go. I made copies of the grids,
pasted them to the walls of the school archives, and
started to fill them in like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
How did you decide what to include?
There are maybe 5,000 photographs in the College
archives housed in the Taylor Memorial Library. I
looked for events, people and buildings that would
represent an era. It was really the only way to be
fair to everybody. After all, there are alumni looking
at this, students, faculty and people who don’t
know anything about Centenary. So I used a lot of
symbolism in the book. Some of these pictures have
never been seen before, and are extremely rare.
What was your biggest surprise?
From a personal standpoint, my
biggest surprise was Robert
Trevorrow, who was President
here from 1917 until 1943. I
admire him very much. I didn’t
know much about him before.
I found him to be a decent
man, an interesting person
and a scholar. I walked past
Trevorrow Hall for 20 years
Raymond Frey, Ph.D. ’12 HA
32 The Centenarian
and never thought about the man. To learn about
his life, for me, was a great joy and a great surprise.
How did you feel when you had to leave a
picture out?
I almost felt guilty. The pictures kind of go back into
oblivion. I got very emotional about it, at one point.
The memory of these people, these images, are
really all that’s left.
In part, the story of Centenary is the story of
Hackettstown, isn’t it?
I made a conscious effort to remind people that
without the Hackettstown community, Centenary
would be somewhere else. In our times of need, the
citizens would step up and help us. After the fire
that decimated Centenary in 1899, they contributed
money to rebuild. When the College was in hard
times, they were always there for us.
What kind of reactions has the book gotten?
One comment I get is, ‘Boy, the College has really
struggled over the years.’ It seems like every 20 years
we were in a struggle for survival. The other thing
that really pleased me is to hear people say, ‘I never
realized how many good and dedicated people were
here at Centenary, doing good things when they
needed to be done.’ A lot of people are walking
around the campus with the book open, trying to line
up where things were. That’s really kind of neat.
A leading scholar on New Jersey history,
Dr. Raymond Frey ’12 HA has been a member
of the Centenary College faculty since 1990. The
author of two textbooks on the State, Dr. Frey is
the recipient of numerous awards including the
Governor’s Award for Distinguished Achievement
in History and Civics. Centenary College, New
Jersey is available during normal business hours
in Taylor Memorial Library and the Business Office.

as Centenary Grows, So Does the aaeB
When Centenary College was a small women’s college, the Alumni Association
Executive Board (AAEB) was mostly a social organization, according to President Vita
Romanelli-young ’78/80. Now that the College has grown, the role of the AAEB is
growing, too.
The organization started with small — but successful — fundraising efforts: selling silent
auction baskets at the Scholarship Galas and an alumni pin. Enough has been raised
to endow the Diane “DD” Silcocks ’54 Memorial Scholarship, which has awarded
scholarships to one traditional and one School of Professional Studies (SPS) student at
recent Homecoming & Alumni Weekends. But the Board is hoping to be able to offer more.
“The College is really moving forward, really progressive,“ said Romanelli-Young, “We’ve
seen so much growth. We want to be able to offer larger scholarships.“ The AAEB has
also recently supported efforts to upgrade the archives at Taylor Memorial Library.
The AAEB now makes connections with students even before they graduate, hosting
an event after the commencement practice with refreshments and raffle prizes including
laptops. “We want them to become more engaged, to come back and remember us.“
Also, the student members of the AAEB now must be recommended by a professor. “It’s
a way for us to be more connected to life on the campus,“ added Romanelli-Young.
Romanelli-Young chose to attend Centenary after visiting campus.“It’s one of those
places you’re just drawn to,”she said. After graduation, she worked long hours and was
not involved with her alma mater. When her daughter was born, she began to come to
more College events, and was eventually asked to joined the AAEB.
And after years of visiting Centenary, her daughter, Kaitlin Young ’16, is now a student.
“Centenary is home,” Romanelli-Young concluded.
