LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
I extend my heartfelt thanks for the warm
welcome my family and I received upon our
arrival on campus. It is my deep honor and
privilege to serve as interim president of one
of the “shining stars” of the State University of
New York system.
With the search for a new permanent president underway, this will be an exciting year. A
summary of the SUNY search process follows,
along with a brief description of the campus
focus for the coming year.
Since so many of our community have a
strong interest in the search, and in an effort
to share information, we have a Presidential
Search Web site at www.brockport/presidentialsearch.edu. Here you will find the names
of the committee members and a record of
meetings, etc. — everything we are able to
share and still maintain a legal search.
The chair of the College Council, Scott Turner,
will serve as the chair of the Search Committee;
and president of our College Senate, Dawn
Jones, will serve as vice chair of the committee.
Sheila Strong, assistant to the president,
has been appointed staff liaison to assist the
committee and coordinate the support work.
The second step — to select an executive
search consultant to assist the committee in
recruiting and evaluating candidates — has
resulted in the selection of the nationally
recognized firm, Korn/Ferry Associates.
A nationwide search will commence this
semester and it is anticipated that a new
president should be approved during the
spring 2005 semester. Please see our Web
site for a detailed accounting of the process.
I urge everyone in our College community
to participate in the on-campus interviews of
finalists. The more people participating, the
better our decision will be in determining the
next leader of SUNY Brockport.
SUNY B
Campus Focus
Division of Academic Affairs — Under the
leadership of Provost Timothy Flanagan, one
of our top priorities is faculty development. In
addition, this year brings exciting initiatives
with the American Democracy Project,
Foundations of Excellence in the First College
Year project, PeopleSoft on Campus program
and the on-going College conversion to a wireless
network. Furthermore, the division will play a
central role in the implementation of Strategic
Plan II and completion of Mission Review II. We
also look to retaining accreditation in a number
of programs including nursing, public administration and teacher education.
Division of Administration and Finance —
With our new Vice President Lou Spiro, major
focuses will include deferred maintenance
issues, capital plan implementation and timely
completion of major renovation projects at
McFarlane and Harrison halls. Special attention
will be paid to environmental health and safety
issues in preparation for the Environmental
Protection Agency audit in October 2005.
Just as importantly, on-going budget reviews
will be conducted and sound financial management practices will be observed to ensure that
sufficient financial resources are available to
maintain and improve the quality of the College’s
educational services.
Division of Enrollment Management and
Student Affairs — Under Vice President Ray
Di Pasquale, the top priority is to continue the
wonderful work the division is doing. We have
an excellent incoming regular admitted freshmen class with an average SAT score of 1093
and high school GPA of 89.6 percent — a great
sign for the bright future of our College, for it is
the quality of our students as well as the quality of the faculty that ultimately determines the
quality of our College. The immediate priority
in partnership with student leaders is to initiate a
R O C K P O R T
A
L U M N I

A G A Z I N E
K
tt
proactive, personal approach to all our students,
and to improve our on-going relationship with
off-campus students and neighborhood residents. Just as we are a community of scholars and students, so too are we citizens of
Brockport. Finally, in conjunction with the
Division of Administration and Finance, a
special focus will be on the funding and
development of the Special Events
Recreation Center and student apartment
complex, scheduled to open fall 2007.
Division of Institutional Advancement —
With the direction of Interim Vice President
Ray Di Pasquale, the number one priority is to
increase fund raising. We must act now to raise
funds so the proper momentum can be gained
to mount an aggressive public campaign when
our new president arrives. We will work in all
areas, such as planned giving and major gifts,
and arrange special events to achieve these
goals. Critical to this effort is to continue to
expand our loyal and supportive network of
alumni. We will continue working with our federal, state and local officials to procure funding
for College projects and programs. Finally, we
will work to promote the College in the Greater
Rochester area and beyond.
This academic year, the appointment of our
new president and the accomplishment of
these short-term goals will signal the beginning
of the Brockport of the 21st century. The actions
we take this year will help determine the future
course of the College. With your help and support, these hopes and dreams will be realized.
Best wishes for a great year,
John B. Clark

A Family Affair
By Virginia Campbell ’89/’96
The Fry family is making SUNY Brockport a
family affair. All seven siblings are either SUNY
Brockport alumni or current students preparing
for careers from teaching to social work, from
veterinary medicine to clinical psychology.
The first Fry family sibling to choose SUNY
Brockport was 31-year-old Darren ’03. Darren
came to Brockport to major in chemistry,
pursuing his degree as a part-time student.
He blazed a trail that the six other Fry siblings
would soon follow.
Roderick ’00, who at 26 is working on a
PhD in chemistry at Penn State, followed in his
brother’s footsteps, graduating cum laude. And
then came Curtis, 24. He is back at Brockport
this fall after taking a year off from his studies.
A junior, Curtis plans to finish his degree in
psychology in 2005.
Newly wed 22-year-old Charlene ’04 is the
fourth of the seven Fry siblings to call Brockport
her Alma Mater. Charlene graduated summa
cum laude with a degree in psychology in
May and, two weeks later, married Benjamin
Schiavone ’98. Schiavone, a criminal justice
alumnus, is a fraud investigator with the
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Charlene graduated from Kendall Central
School in the top 10 of her class after skipping
her junior year and leapfrogging into her senior
year. Charlene, one of Brockport’s first
Presidential Scholars, also received two SUNY
Brockport College Foundation scholarships—
the Katherine Reichel Scholarship, which carries a $1,000 per year award the first year and
monies to help pay for text books in following
years, and the Alumni Association Scholarship,
which awards $1,000 for up to four years.
Charlene, a model since the age of 16, took
a slight detour on her own road to finishing her
degree at Brockport. Charlene came to
Brockport with plans for a career in teaching.
She began to rethink her career choice at just
about the same time her modeling agent was
telling her that “now is the time to go to New
York” if she was sincere about pursuing a
career in international modeling.
Charlene decided to follow that dream. She
forfeited her Presidential Scholarship and
headed to New York, signing with the Eileen
Ford Modeling Agency. From there it was on to
Japan, where she spent three months becoming
established as a professional model. About to
embark for another assignment in Milan, Italy,
she realized that international modeling wasn’t
the life for her. “It was lonely living away from
family and friends, and definitely not as glamorous as people might think,” reports Charlene,
who continues to model locally. So, it was back
to Brockport and her psychology studies—and
her alumni scholarships.

SECURING THE
Peace
By Gary L. Barney, history major, ROTC cadet
On a hot, windy night in the battle-scarred
city of Kabul, Afghanistan, Major William (Bill)
Mandrick, Department of Military Science,
returned from his duties in a remote outpost
to meet with fellow soldiers from his battalion.
As they spoke over a well-deserved meal, the
conversation turned to home and where each
soldier was from. They quickly realized that
many of them had something in common. Seth
Hoffer ’86, Bill Bailey ’86, Dave Young ’89, Bill
Mandrick ’90, Ted Sargent ’93, Steve McAlpin ’95,
Joe Zabawa ’01 and Todd Flemming, a current
graduate student majoring in history, were all
serving in the 401st Civil Affairs battalion from
Webster, NY, and all are SUNY Brockport alumni.
The major battles for the future of Afghanistan
had ended. However, the fight to maintain
stability had just begun; it continues today
and will not end in the foreseeable future. The
current battles are not fought with bullets or
artillery, but with American aid in the form of
building materials, medical supplies and dollars.
The stabilization effort will continue to involve
American soldiers as civil affairs specialists
whose mission is to take a lead role in the
rebuilding of Afghanistan.
The concept of civil affairs within the military dates back to the 1950s, when it was
made into a separate branch of the US Army.
Today’s Civil Affairs soldiers are trained in the
process of setting up transitional governments,
administering humanitarian aid, and working
with non-governmental organizations to
secure long-term peace and stabilization. For
these reasons, Civil Affairs is considered a
branch of the Special Operations Forces.
The stabilization of Afghanistan required
much from SUNY Brockport alumni soldiers
and all those serving with the 401st, rebuilding
SUNY B
a nation ravaged by years of war. These officers
took an active role in building a foundation
that would encourage and support the
reestablishment of Afghan culture and the
return of civil rights that had been taken away
by the Taliban. The Civil Affairs missions in
Afghanistan were designed to stimulate economic growth and keep the indigenous people informed to legitimize the democratically
elected government. Ultimately, the intent is
to prevent tyrant regimes, such as the Taliban,
from returning to power.
“The education these students
receive at SUNY Brockport is part
of a maturation process preparing
them for a world that requires a
survival instinct, tenacity and wit,
coupled with a caring heart.”
During its year-long deployment, the 401st
would erect hundreds of schools, public buildings, hospitals and other necessary buildings.
They also would provide medical assistance,
teach preventive medicine, help to bring
clean drinking water to villages, and establish
grassroots contact with the Afghan people.
The functions of the Civil Affairs soldier is
considered to be revolutionary in the world
of Special Operations, and yet the important
work that is being done by these men and
women — building countries and establishing
and maintaining the peace and individual
civil liberties — has received little coverage
by conventional media sources.
The country is now returning to normal after
the fall of the Taliban, with people returning to
R O C K P O R T

K
their homes, businesses and schools. When
asked about his time in Afghanistan, Mandrick
replied, “I have heard it said that there are no
winners in war. However, I think that the smiling
faces of the young women in Afghanistan, who
were previously banned from attending school,
is all the proof I need to know that this
is not the case. The progress these people have
made is incredible, and they are truly grateful to
the United States for their new-found freedoms
and vastly improving standard of living.” Major
Mandrick’s words have special meaning; he
has seen the destructive side of war during
Desert Storm as a mechanized infantryman
with the1st Cavalry Division.
As an instructor in SUNY Brockport’s ROTC
program, Mandrick has this to say about
Brockport ROTC cadets and military science
alumni: “The education these students receive
at SUNY Brockport is part of a maturation
process preparing them for a world that requires
a survival instinct, tenacity and wit, coupled
with a caring heart.”
Many SUNY Brockport graduates are serving
in the global war on terrorism in various capacities. Some are stateside, while others are serving
in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey,
Northern Africa, Korea and elsewhere. The
most recent graduates of the ROTC program
are now preparing for leadership roles in the
US Army by attending their Officer’s Basic
Courses in various disciplines. The disciplines,
or branches, include infantry, field artillery,
armor, aviation, intelligence, signal and many
others. Once they complete their Officer’s Basic
Course they will be assigned to their first leadership roles in the US Army.

Nursing in the Millennium
SUNY Brockport’s Department of Nursing has been educating nurses since 1968.
Throughout the years, many nursing alumni have forged careers that have taken them
across the nation and around the world. Two of these alumnae agreed to share their
adventures in nursing with Kaleidoscope.
Mary Rossi-Coajou ’88
From SUNY
Brockport
to Ground Zero
By Virginia Campbell ’89/’96
Mary Rossi-Coajou ’88 never dreamed her
nursing degree from SUNY Brockport would
lead her to a career as a ranking officer with the
US Public Health Service. Today, Rossi-Coajou’s
career has taken her from Ground Zero to the
Capitol and points in between. “Not many
people know that the US Public Health Service
is one of the seven uniformed services in the
United States, consisting of 6,000 uniformed
medical officers, led by Surgeon General Vice
Admiral Richard H. Carmona,” remarked
commander Rossi-Coajou.
“I always knew that I wanted to be in a
health profession, so I came to SUNY Brockport
planning to enter the nursing program. The
program opened many doors for me. Each new
clinical rotation that I did was interesting, and I
would become excited at the possibilities with
each one. I especially enjoyed the community
health rotation, which fits nicely into what I am
doing today, ” said Rossi-Coajou.
A health program evaluation officer at the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
Rossi-Coajou manages a national program for

the nation’s 2,460 hospice service providers,
serving more than 390,000 beneficiaries.
“Making sure that end-of-life patients are
receiving what they need and serving that
fragile population is important to me,” said
Rossi-Coajou from her Baltimore, MD, office.
“One of my first deployments was with Operation
Refugee at Fort Dix, New Jersey. The team
spent weeks screening and evaluating the
health of 5,000 Albanian refugees,” said
Rossi-Coajou.
When the tragedy of September 11 struck
at the heart of our nation, Rossi-Coajou was
deployed with a team of 60 commissioned
officers to Ground Zero. The team staffed five
medical clinics that ringed the perimeter of
Ground Zero, administering to the medical,
emotional and comfort needs of rescue and
recovery personnel. “Our make-shift clinics
ran 24 hours a day, with personnel working
10-hour days. We treated approximately 1,400
patients a day. There were many injuries —
debris in the eye from the smoke and dust that
hung over the site, broken bones and heart
attacks, and other stress- and occupationrelated injuries.
Rossi-Coajou no more than returned to her
home base after her tour of duty in New York,
when she received a call late one evening. She
was being deployed once again, this time to
the Capitol in Washington, DC. Senator Thomas
Daschal’s office had been contaminated with
anthrax and it was the task of Rossi-Coajou and
a cadre of officers to screen 5,000 federal
workers who may have come in contact with
the deadly powder. Almost immediately another call came in. US Postal Service employees had
been exposed to anthrax and needed antibiotics. The team was once again on the move.
As busy as Rossi-Coajou’s career has been
keeping her, she’s found time to marry husband
Patrick and welcome their two children into
their lives; son Alexandre, 6, and daughter

Celeste, 11. “My husband understands that part
of my duties is to defend and protect the health
of this nation. He is always very supportive of
our children and me.”
Making Africa
Her Home
Ever since she was eight years old, Sylvia
Postles ’73 knew she wanted to follow the
Catholic faith, become a nun, and administer
to those in need in Africa. Not all that unusual
perhaps, except Postles’ mother was a
Methodist and her father a Baptist. “I asked
my mother if it was okay for me to become
Catholic. She said to ask my dad. So I did, and
he said to ask my mom. I was 11 when I realized
that neither of my parents had said no, so I
went to the Catholic priest and asked him to
baptize me,” remembers Postles.
This was in Rutherford, NJ, during the time of
segregation. The only Catholic Church in town
was for white residents only. But that didn’t
stop Postles from pursuing her dream. The
Catholic priest granted Sister Postles’ wish, and
she was baptized in the Catholic faith.
“When it was time for me to graduate from
high school, my father was against my becoming
a nun,” said Sister Postles. That didn’t stop her
from following her dream either. With the assistance of her high school’s secretary, Sister
Postles was off to Our Lady of Victory and
Father Baker’s in Lackawanna, NY, where she
became a childcare technician. Returning to
New Jersey, Sister Postles worked in a Catholic
hospital until she was 21 and was accepted by
the Maryknoll Sisters in New York. From there
Sister Postles was sent to Valley Park in
Missouri, returning three years later as a
professed sister, having taken her first vows.
Sylvia Postles ’73
In 1964 Sister Postles realized the rest of her
childhood dream when she was dispatched to
Tansania, East Africa. “Because of apartheid in
Africa, I was not allowed to go with the other
sisters on the ship. I had to wait a year for when
someone else was flying to Tansania.
“I was assigned to a maternity unit in
Tansania. The people there believe that when
twins are born, the first baby born is supposed
to be left on the bed near the mother so that it
can call out the second baby,” remembered
Sister Postles. “The first woman that I delivered
spoke a different language from the one I was
taught and it took me a little while to understand that she wanted me to return the baby to
the delivery bed so that it could call out its sibling. As soon as I returned the baby to the bed,
the other baby popped out. I saw this happen
many times during my time in Tanzania.”
During one of her leaves, Sister Postles
returned to SUNY Brockport for her bachelor’s
degree. “I chose Brockport because the College
had a Peace Corps training program with the
international focus that I was looking for. The
nursing department’s integrated curriculum
has been helpful to me in West Africa where
you care for two or three members of the same
family at one time. The community health
segment of our program came into good use
when I started the Community Based Home
Care Program for HIV/AIDS patients in Kenya.”
Sister Postles completed her BSN in 1973,
passed her state boards with flying colors, and
was once again headed for Tanzania. “When I
returned to Africa I was living in an area much
like a Serengeti. There was a little mission hospital where the fly-in doctors would come from
Kenya to do special surgery or to take patients
back to Kenya,” said Sister Postles. “We didn’t
have a landing field, so we would have to go
out and chase the animals off the make-do
runway and spread out sheets so that the pilot
could see where to land.”
Today, AIDS is a serious issue for the people
of Africa. “These people believe that if someone
has the disease that someone must have
cursed them. Many do not believe it is caused
by lifestyle, wife inheritance (upon a man’s
death, his wife is inherited by his brother),
blood transfusions or by other ways,” remarked
Postles. Thousands of people in the Teacher’s
Service, police force, private sector and the
military are HIV positive or have already died
from the virus over these last 10 years.
When Sister Postles is in the US, she always
finds time to visit SUNY Brockport. “I feel that
Africa is my home, but whenever I return to
the US, I always visit Brockport. Kay (Kathryn)
Wood (former chair of the Department of
Nursing and associate professor emerita) was
my adviser, and she is a dear friend of mine.
I always visit her and Jeanette D’Agostino
Banker ‘53 (Department of Education and
Human Development associate professor
emerita) when I come to town.
“The SUNY motto is ‘Let each become all
that he is capable of being.’ It is with this attitude
that I have tried my best,” said Postles, who was
awarded the SUNY Brockport 1991 Public
Service Award for Outstanding Community
Service and Professional Achievement. In
1999, she received the Distinguished
Graduate Award from her high school. She has
given presentations in Canada, the Netherlands
and many other places around the globe,
speaking about HIV/AIDS and her work in
Africa.
“SUNY Brockport gave me that extra that I
needed to accomplish those things that I have
done. Brockport taught us how to be survivors
and to adapt to things. If you believe in something enough, then you should be willing to act
on it and go for it. We were taught and told to
go and do. And we did.”
t
Recollections of a former student
—Dr. Joseph Pascale ’53, SUNY Brockport
“We were fortunate to have a person of his stature to be near to us for four
years. He meant a lot to me. I wanted to be just like him. I remember seeing him
reading in his study evenings as I walked past his house. He seemed so content.
He became what he always wanted to be, a great teacher revered by his students.
I asked him this summer if he could explain this talent. Was it a gift? Was it
learned? He said he had given it some thought recently but he had no clear picture
of it, or where it came from. He did say though that he never used notes and
always looked at his class.
John MacNaughton was available, genuine, and unique. Above all else, he really
loved to teach and he was superb at it. He sure knew how to reach students. He
reached me. Thank you, John MacNaughton.”
(Written for the 50th Anniversary Memory Book of the Class of 1953. Dr.
MacNaughton was honored at the 50th reunion. At age 88, in his acceptance
remarks, he once again wowed his former students. He died two months later.)

Our alumni – recent and not-so-recent – are doing
some fantastic things. Here are a few examples.
By Mike Andriatch’85
A film by Brian Miles Duffy ’99 premiered on opening
night of the Rochester International Film Festival in
May. Majave Green was written and directed by
Duffy, a resident of Pasadena, CA.
If you picked up the August issue of Kiplinger’s
Personal Finance magazine, you may have noticed
a story about stepping-stone jobs for recent college
graduates. Mark LaMonaco ’03 was highlighted in
the publication as a former part-time employee of
Wegmans who has decided to start a career with
the Rochester-based grocery magnate.
Countless Brockport alumni and friends remember
Kenneth “Tiny” Glover ’87, who has been entertaining
local audiences for years. Glover, featured recently in
an article in the Westside News, is “making a living
doing a statewide storytelling tour, a nationwide
college comedy stint, and a northeastern tour of
duty opening for musical acts like ... BB King and the
Everly Brothers,” according to the article (written by
Brockport alumnus and current Alumni Association
Board member Mark Ball ’98). His ultimate goal? ”I
want to put together a children’s television show
and produce good children’s entertainment.” Good
luck to our “Big” talent.
Patricia Larrabee ’74 is the president and CEO of
Rochester Clinical Research (RCR), a dedicated
clinical research center providing clinical research
services to the pharmaceutical and medical device
industries. RCR’s experienced clinical research
personnel engage the patient and their primary
care physician, helping them to become informed
partners in every clinical trial. Two members of
Patricia’s staff, Sally Cardella ’74 and Donna Martin
Willome ’73, are also graduates of the College.
Bob Jackson ’50 has had quite a few “firsts” in his
career. He was the first physical education teacher
at the North Colonie (NY) School District. He initiated
the construction of the first gym and pool at the high
school. He installed the first physical fitness testing
program at the district. He created the first sports
booster club. And, he started the annual track and
field and cross country meets. A former prisoner of
war during World War II, he received the Purple
Heart and wrote a book about his experiences as
a POW. Now, 24 years after retiring from his career
in education, Jackson is a part of the first class of
inductees into the North Colonie/Shaker Community
School Foundation’s Hall of Fame. “I’m a very
fortunate and a very lucky guy,” Jackson says.
The spring 2004
baseball season
was a great one for
several Brockport
alumni, including
two coaches who
received top
honors from their
peers. Close to
home, the
College’s coach, Mark Rowland ’95, led the Golden
Eagles to the NCAA Division III College World Series
and was named the Regional Coach of the Year (one
of eight in the country), a first for Rowland and the
program. On another level, Mike Marra ’90 of
Kingston High School in New York was the Division I
Region I Coach of the Year for leading his team to a
sectional title and a sectional–high of 21 wins.
The number of Brockport alumni who go on to
careers as attorneys continues to grow. Cynthia
LaFave ’78, a trial lawyer specializing in personal
injury and malpractice law, was featured as the
“Alumna of the Month” on the SUNY Brockort Web
site (www.brockport.edu/alumni/assoc/alumof
month.html). Brockport attorneys are located all
over the country. Check the College’s alumni Web
site for a directory of attorneys in your area.
Rosemarie Ruck ’75 has influenced more lives in a
late-blooming career than anyone can imagine. An
adult student at Brockport in the1970s (before that
was commonplace), she was recently lauded with
inclusion in Who’s Who of American Women. “I’m
very honored and privileged to be included in the

book,” Ruck told the Batavia Daily News. “These are
all very eminent women.” Ruck was cited for her
work through the years with ARC and the YWCA of
Batavia, Literacy Volunteers of Genesee County and
Orleans County, chemical dependency assistance at
Park Ridge Hospital, Beikirch Health System, and
Long Ridge Writer’s Group, among others. She
continues to pursue these and other varied interests,
hoping to grow programs that need community
support and involvement. Women’s issues are the
center of her writing interests. “Not enough attention
is being given to women,” she said. “We are living so
much longer. Life truly does begin at 50. Lifelong
learning never stops.”
Charlene Kelly Sigman ’93, a pediatric speech
pathologist, has begun “Happy Talkers,” a successful
speech therapy program for children with special
needs. Based in Dublin, CA, “Happy Talkers” provides
developmental play groups for children ages six
months through 24 months and their parents. For
more information, check out their Web site at
happytalkers.com. We will be featuring Charlene
and her husband, Mitch ’93, in a future issue of
Kaleidoscope.
STUDY ABROAD
Gary Thompson ’79 has dedicated his life to service.
A recent Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in
Teaching recipient from the State University of New
York affirmed his outstanding work as chair of the
Law and Criminal Justice Department at Monroe
Community College. But that is just a small part of
his commitment to others. Thompson and his faculty
at MCC are currently developing curriculum for the
Homeland Security Program, and he facilitates
training sessions all over the country. The sessions
involve working with community college faculty to
share best practices and incorporate Homeland
Security into their learning curriculum. In addition,
he has been instrumental in establishing service
learning opportunities involving students in
community service projects, including the Rochester
Police Department PAC-TAC program (Police And
Citizens Together Against Crime) and the Brighton
Police Department’s WATCH Program (We All
Together Can Help).
Finally, John
Wemett ’77/’80,
a colonel in the
US Marine Corps,
wrote to the
College recently
on his activities
in the military.
“I’m currently
serving in the
Marine Corps in Afghanistan in the Office of Military
Cooperation, helping to rebuild the Afghan
government and army. This is a12-to 14-hour-a-day
job, seven days a week. It’s physically challenging,
but most important of all, we’re making a difference.
Outside the urban areas, life goes on as it did in
America in the1800s. Everything is horse-drawn
and hand-made. No electricity. No running water.
Houses made out of sun-dried mud bricks. Then a
car drives by or a plane flies overhead and you
realize what a time-warp this place is–except it’s real.
It’s Afghanistan.”
A Chance of a Lifetime
received an acceptance letter into this program, with a nomination from Dr. Moira
Fallon, my graduate program advisor, I was eager to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Sixty students from across the United States were chosen to visit Sydney and
Cairns in Australia for career-focused learning and adventure. There were many
activities that filled our 12 days in this beautiful country. Some of the highlights
included visits to both public and private schools, and speaking with students and
teachers. A visit to a university allowed us to talk with professors and students to
gain a better understanding of some of the similarities and differences between
the teacher preparation and training programs in Australia and the United States.
Other learning opportunities that we were able to experience were trekking
through the Rain Forest in Army Ducks, a type of all-terrain vehicle. In addition, we
were able to learn about the areas surrounding the Great Barrier Reef by actually
snorkeling and touring this area. Lastly I personally found a deep appreciation for
the aboriginal people of Australia by participating in a fire-making ceremony and
learning about their dance, culture and history.
“This study abroad opportunity allowed me to take a look into Australia’s
education system in an exciting and hands-on way. Along with this experience, I
am eager to use all of the knowledge and skills that I have learned at SUNY
Brockport to benefit the learning of my future students. The International Mission
on Education was immensely worthwhile, and I feel fortunate to have had this
opportunity. It has inspired me to build on my disposition of being a life-long learner
as I continue to grow as an educator.”
The College continues to offer one of the strongest international study abroad
programs in the country. Students enjoy opportunities to travel around the globe
as part of their higher education. For many it’s a chance of a lifetime. After
commencement in May, Jennifer Stremich ’03/’04 took advantage of one such
chance of a lifetime. Here is her first-person account of her trip to Australia.
“My name is Jennifer Stremich, and I recently participated in the International
Mission on Education in Australia during May. Attending both high school and
college in Brockport, I never thought I would have the opportunity to venture out of
the area to study the field of education in a different culture. In addition, by studying
elementary and special education, I never imagined that I would be able to converse and learn from the professionals in education in a foreign country. When I

Several Rochester area businesses are joining SUNY Brockport as partners in the preparation
of future employees in their industry. Through annual scholarships they have established, our
“Partners in Business” help ensure student success and encourage talented students to pursue
careers in their sector. Here are some examples of our local partners.
By Marianne Virgilio ‘86
Advantage Professionals
Since 1993, Advantage Professionals (AP)
has evolved as an industry leader in financial
and information technology (IT) placement,
and is also highly specialized in IT consulting
and services. AP started a scholarship at
SUNY Brockport in 1997 in recognition of
the strong relationship that developed
between the company and the College. The
scholarship is granted annually to an
accounting major who exhibits excellence
in the classroom and high potential for success as an accounting professional.
Mark G. Pautler, Advantage Professionals’
president, also enjoys opportunities to interact
with students during the academic year. He
occasionally speaks with accounting students
about career options and participates in
College activities.
Agape Physical Therapy
Services Scholarships in
Athletic Training
Headquartered in Brockport, Agape Physical
Therapy Services and Advantage Sports
Performance works with patients to meet their
rehabilitation needs and to provide the appropriate care plan based on a thorough evaluation and a doctor's prescription. The staff
includes physical therapists, physical therapist
assistants, certified athletic trainers, and certified strength and conditioning specialists.
Agape also provides athletic training services
to several Rochester-area school districts and
colleges.
The first Agape Physical Therapy Services
Scholarship in Athletic Training was established at SUNY Brockport in December 2001.
The scholarship recognizes an outstanding student in the athletic training program who
demonstrates commitment and potential for

excellence in the career of athletic training. A
second annual scholarship was initiated in
October 2003 and it also assists a student in
the athletic training program with preference
given to a student who graduated from a high
school within the Greater Rochester area.
Owners Frank and Esther Nowak comment,
“We are extremely grateful for the way our
communities have embraced our service.
Whether in the schools we serve with athletic
training and advantage sports performance,
or in our facilities with the physical therapy
approach we use, our towns have truly blessed
our company with tremendous support and
encouragement.” Funding the scholarships is
just one way the company invests back into
the community and the profession.
Domino’s Pizza Scholarship
Located on Main Street in the heart of downtown Brockport, Domino’s Pizza is certainly well
known to many. Mark Gaisser, owner, established the Domino’s Pizza Scholarship in 2001
to recognize an outstanding student from
Brockport High School who attends SUNY
Brockport.
The Domino’s Pizza Scholarship helps
support SUNY Brockport’s Extraordinary
Scholarship Program that offers important
financial assistance to the most academically
talented students enrolled at Brockport.
Recipients must rank in the top 25 percent of
their class, post a minimum high school average of 88 and a minimum SAT score of 1040.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Scholarship
“Why I am an Enterprising person” is the
question to be answered by applicants for the
Enterprise Rent-A-Car Scholarship at SUNY

minority student who most closely mirrors
the values and characteristics that exemplify
Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
The Scholarship Review Committee considers
academic performance, leadership in academic
and extracurricular activities, employment record
and the applicant’s personal essay in selecting
recipients. Megan Mazzulli, human resources
manager, explains that a personable nature,
competitive fire and successful entrepreneurship
characterize the spirit and culture of Enterprise
Rent-A-Car’s successful workforce.
Rotenberg & Co. Scholarship
A Rochester firm of CPAs and business
consultants, Rotenberg & Co., LLP, chooses
to direct its community support to education.
Mindful of the need for qualified personnel prepared for careers in accounting, the company
established its scholarship to assist an outstanding student in the SUNY Brockport
accounting program who has demonstrated
commitment to and potential for excellence
in that field.
The first scholarship to be awarded is supporting the education of a student this academic
year. Recipients must demonstrate academic
excellence, participation in community or charitable service and commitment to the field of
accounting. This is the fourth scholarship that
the firm has funded at Rochester-area colleges.
Scholarships like these and others provide
financial assistance, which is helping many of
today’s SUNY Brockport students achieve their
goal of a college education.
We thank our business partners and the
many individuals who generously encourage
student success through their scholarship gifts.

Getting to the Heart of Rochester
By Nicholas Mascari
Since 1970 SUNY Brockport has maintained a sustained commitment to the academic needs of the downtown Rochester area.
Over the years the College has offered a variety
of courses in locations including the Temple
Building and the Sibley Building. But in 2001,
the College made a major investment in downtown when it purchased the Chamber of
Commerce Building at 55 St. Paul Street—a
100,000-square-foot Neo-classic building,
created with the vision of famed Rochester
architect Claude Bragdon and the deep pockets
of George Eastman, who made the structure his
gift to the business community.
The SUNY Brockport METROCENTER opened
its doors in the fall of 2002, following a $2.15million renovation that converted approximately
half of the building’s floor space — previously
occupied by the United Way — into classrooms,
offices, computer labs, conference rooms,
vending areas and student and faculty lounge
areas.
The METROCENTER is home to The Greater
Rochester Collaborative Master of Social Work
Program (a joint venture between SUNY
Brockport and Nazareth College), as well as onsite departmental offices for public administration, counselor education, and education and
human development. The Division of
Institutional Advancement also maintains
offices at the MetroCenter.

The Rochester Landmark Society included
the MetroCenter in this fall’s “In the Loop” tour
of historic buildings. According to METROCENTER
Director Karen Schuhle-Williams, the tour
brought more than 1,000 visitors to tour the
facility. “We were thrilled to be included in the
Landmark Society’s tour. It was great community exposure for the MetroCenter and SUNY
Brockport, and we were very pleased to be
chosen as tour headquarters,” SchuhleWilliams said.
“The SUNY Brockport METROCENTER is the
physical expression of the College’s commitment to downtown Rochester,” said Mary Kay
Bishop, vice president for institutional advancement. “Expanding use of this wonderful facility
and increasing interaction between SUNY
Brockport and the Rochester community holds
benefits for everyone,” she added.
The SUNY Brockport MetroCenter Task
Force, an eight-member group made up of
faculty, staff and College volunteers, chaired by
Brockport College Foundation member David
Hoffberg, is working to identify opportunities for
the MetroCenter to become an integral part of
downtown Rochester activities. The task force
operates under the auspices of SUNY
Brockport’s University-Community Outreach
Committee.
The task force’s preliminary report will be
available by December 1 on the SUNY
Brockport Division of Institutional
Advancement Web site at www.brockport.edu
/home/alumni.html.
To learn more about the SUNY Brockport
METROCENTER, visit www.brockport.edu/metrocenter or request information via e-mail at
[email protected].
During the construction of this Rochester landmark in 1916-17,
Bragdon and Eastman clashed over the elaborate ceiling design intended
for the grand meeting room. Bragdon argued that a painted and gilded
ceiling was integral to the room’s design, while Eastman refused to foot
the bill, finding the costs to be excessive during the war years. In a
classic case of money talks, vision walks, Bragdon left Rochester for
New York City in 1920.

A Golden Anniversary
A Reason for Giving
Fifty years ago, a visionary educator — Katharine M. Reichel — led the formation of the Alpha Alpha Chapter of The Delta Kappa
Gamma Society International. Twenty years ago, members of the Rochester-area chapter of this professional honorary society
for women educators established the Katharine M. Reichel Award in honor of the chapter’s first leader.
Recently, in honor of the chapter’s Golden
Anniversary, charter member and SUNY
Brockport Professor Emerita Fran Moroney
Whited initiated a Golden Anniversary
Challenge to celebrate 50 years of leadership
in education and to augment the Katharine M.
Reichel Award fund endowment.
“My intent is to do something meaningful
in celebration of Alpha Alpha’s golden
anniversary and in honor of Katharine M.
Reichel, an outstanding educator,” commented Dr. Moroney Whited. “Delta Kappa
Gamma describes its membership as key
women educators, and there seems no better
way to support the goals and purpose of the
organization than to assist young women
entering the teaching profession.”
Since1985, 20 young women have received
Katharine M. Reichel Awards, established to
support and encourage an outstanding
incoming freshman woman preparing for a
career in education. Katharine M. Reichel
scholars learn that the relationships they build
with Alpha Alpha Chapter members are
equally, if not more, important as the financial
support.
SUNY B
“The financial help from the Katharine M.
Reichel Award was valuable but the personal
relationships I formed were equally important
to me. Alpha Alpha members are a caring
group of women—and fun! I received positive
and continued support throughout my college
years. The chapter members made me feel
special in receiving the award, and I look
forward to participating in the Golden
Anniversary celebrations of Alpha Alpha
Chapter,” said Charlene Fry Schiavone ’04,
the 1999 recipient of the scholarship.
Christine Walker, a 2004 graduate of
Brockport High School, is the current recipient
of the Katharine M. Reichel Award. Walker,
who is studying arts for children and will gain
certification in elementary education, also
holds a Dean’s Scholar-in-Residence Award
and the Gladys Queen Scholarship for Future
Teachers. “It is a great honor to be named
recipient of the Katharine M. Reichel Award
because Delta Kappa Gamma Society
International has such a strong reputation in
education. The members are warm, wonderful people, and I enjoyed meeting them. It is
such a comfort to have chapter members

offer their help if I need it as I pursue my
dream of becoming a teacher,” she said.
Judy Fuller ’90, ’91 is another example of
an aspiring educator who gained both financial support and mentorship as a recipient of
the Katharine M. Reichel Award. Fuller was
the second recipient of the award, went on to
complete both her bachelor’s and master’s
degrees at SUNY Brockport and entered the
field of education as a teacher. Fuller presently serves as president of the Alpha Alpha
Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma.
The Golden Anniversary Challenge extended by Dr. Moroney Whited will build the
endowment of the Katharine M. Reichel
Award. She will match two-for-one every
gift made to the fund between September 1,
2004, and September 30, 2005. An
enriched endowment will generate more
funds for awards each year. And thus the
cycle of support and encouragement for
future women educators will continue.–MV

Making it on Their Own
With a Little Help from a Friend
Tasheri Artis has always known what
she wants to do with her life—to
become a lawyer. “My roommates think
I’m crazy, staying up late, studying,
working hard,” said Artis, a sophomore
political science major and recipient of a
Vira Hladun-Goldmann ‘58 Scholarship.
Her motivation? She feels a tremendous
responsibility to herself and her family.
Her younger siblings are paying attention, and she knows she has an influence on them. “I feel this responsibility
because I am the first one in my family
Tasheri Artis
to go to college and everyone looks up
to me. I have to do this,” said Artis.
Artis, 19, is a graduate of City Honors High School, Buffalo, NY, where
she was a cheerleader, a member of the school’s cross country team, was
involved in Amnesty International, a member of the multicultural club and
tutored French.
“Without the scholarship, I probably wouldn’t be able to stay in school,”
Artis remarked. “With six children, my parents aren’t able to pay for my
education. It is all up to me. It makes me feel good about myself, knowing
that I am accomplishing something on my own.” Her philosophy? “I don’t
want to get anything that I haven’t earned myself!”
The Vira Hladun-Goldmann Scholarship awards $7,500 each year for
up to $30,000 to minority ethnic students who have been accepted at
SUNY Brockport and who plan to live on campus. Applicants are selected
based on an essay addressing their goals and aspirations, challenges they
have overcome, if any, why this scholarship would be helpful, and why
they chose SUNY Brockport. To maintain the renewable scholarships,
recipients must maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA throughout their
college career. Currently there are five SUNY Brockport Vira HladunGoldmann scholars.
Artis, plans to get involved in student government and other activities
at Brockport, including possibly writing for The Stylus. “My freshman year
went very well. I wanted to stay focused on my studies. That’s why I didn’t
get involved in other activities. Once I see how this year is going, I’ll decide
what other things I’d like to do,” said Artis, who also looks forward to
doing an internship when the time comes.
When choosing a college, sophomore Daniel Wicke visited a number of
schools, but didn’t feel comfortable at
any of them. “They felt foreign to me. I
couldn’t see myself going to any of
them; then I visited SUNY Brockport. It
was in April of my senior year. It was
snowing and there was an ice storm
that day. Even so, I could see myself on
this campus. I felt comfortable here,”
said Wicke, a Vira Hladun-Goldmann
Scholarship recipient. Wicke, who calls
Brooklyn, NY, home, is enjoying the
Daniel Wicke
“small-town” feel of the village of
Brockport. “I like the College and the area very much.”
A physical education and sport major, he’s taking time to explore his
options. “I’m enjoying my physical education program, but music has
always been an important part of my life. Music production is something I
might like to experience, ” said Wicke, who plays several musical
instruments.
He also takes great pleasure in learning. “I like to grab information and
knowledge from wherever I can get it. I like teachers who feel they can
learn from their students as well as their students learning from them. The
teachers at Brockport are very knowledgeable, like Dr. Salahuddin Malik
in the Department of History who teaches ancient world history. He’s a
teacher who wants students to have an open mind, to learn from other
cultures and about other countries. I like teachers who encourage us to
have an open mind,” said Wicke, who was born in the Dominican
Republic and adopted at the age of one month. “I enjoy all people—ages,
races, etc. Getting to know people makes life interesting with all the infinite possibilities.”
Wicke marvels at the twists of fate that have brought him this far.
“I’m thankful that I was adopted and given the opportunity to get an
education. My college education is a gift that I have been given by Ms.
Hladun-Goldmann through her scholarship,” said Wicke. “Knowing that
I have someone who is willing to give me support and encourage me
to achieve my goals is very important to me. Ms. Hladun-Goldmann is
giving me this support.”

youngest of the family’s scholars, is a freshman
and a SUNY Brockport Distinguished Scholar.
Valedictorian of her class at Kendall High
School, she skipped ahead with her high
school program, going from freshman to junior
and completing a Career Education Internship
Program (CEIP). Her CEIP program allowed her
to work during the summer at the Seneca Park
SUNY B
Zoo in Rochester and
complete the second
half of her internship
hours working at the
Brockport Animal
Hospital. She is in
Brockport’s Honors
Program, majoring in
Darren Fry ‘03
biological sciences.
“Corrine has wanted to become a
veterinarian since she was in the second
grade,” reports Sheila Fry, family matriarch.
“Much of the reason my siblings and I
chose Brockport is the new scholarships,” said
Charlene. “We wanted to live on campus. My
parents, with seven children, couldn’t afford
to pay for all of us to do that. The Presidential
and other scholarships made it possible for
us to experience our college years more fully,
enjoying campus life and building lasting
friendships.”
The Fry siblings agree. SUNY Brockport has
been the right choice for them, and not just
because of the scholarships. “The College’s reputation as a quality institution continues to

grow. We know we’re
getting a great education,” said Charlene,
speaking for all seven
siblings. “We’re glad we
chose Brockport.”
This isn’t the end of
the SUNY Brockport
Roderick Fry ’00
chapter for Charlene.
She has been accepted into the College’s
Master’s in Social Work Program, a collaborative initiative between Brockport and Nazareth
College. All set to begin her master’s work this
fall, Charlene decided to defer her enrollment
for a year. “I decided to wait a year before starting my master’s program. My husband and I
want to spend time together in this first year of
our marriage, and we may be starting a family
in the near future.”
Besides making their studies at Brockport a
family affair, Carla, Corrine and Charlene also
are staying together on the job. All three are
working their way through college as servers
at the USA Brockport Diner.

WEATHER
CALENDARReturns
The
After a hiatus of about five years, the official SUNY Brockport
Department of Earth Science Weather Calendar is back in production.
The 2005 calendar, available in early October, is prepared by the
Department of Earth Science, produced by the Science Scholar
Awards Program and sponsored by the SUNY Brockport College
Foundation.
The Weather Calendar was first produced in1982 and was published continuously through 2001. During that time, proceeds from
the calendar funded more than $60,000 in scholarship awards to
incoming students in earth science, meteorology, water resources and
geology. The department hopes to replenish the scholarship fund to
again make the competitive awards available to qualified students in
the near future. The calendar project also provides employment for
students who help with sales and distribution.
The theme of this year's calendar is "The Great Lakes" with interesting facts about the Great Lakes system and its influence on the weather of this region. The calendar provides monthly weather statistics
as well as normal high and low temperatures, record high and low
temperatures, and sunrise/sunset times for each day. The calendar
is created from official data from the National Weather Service and
the US Naval Observatory.
Calendars for Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse are available for
$5 each ($4 for students and seniors) through the Weather Calendar
Project, Department of the Earth Sciences, SUNY Brockport. When
ordering, be sure to specify the city of your choice, and include a
check, money order or purchase order. To order your calendar, visit
the department’s Web site at www.esc.brockport.edu. Allow two to
three weeks for delivery. For more information, contact the department at (585) 395-2636.

Masters of the Mat
Sports
By Justin Garwood

SUNY BROCKPORT
How often does a college have the good fortune of having a professional among its ranks
who excels in the classroom and dominates in
the athletic arena? At
SUNY Brockport, it’s happened at least twice. For
more than 30 years
Associate Professor and
Wrestling Coach Donald
Don Murray ’69
(Don) Murray ’69 and
Associate Professor
Emeritus and Judo Instructor Sachio Ashida have
walked a path that bridges two worlds — the world of
academics and the world of athletics — with expertise
in their academic fields and excellence in their sports.
A member of his All Air Force wrestling team,
Murray wanted to do two things upon being discharged
from the service—finish his college career at SUNY
Brockport and wrestle. To say he has accomplished his
goals is an understatement. With his undergraduate
degree in hand, he began a graduate program in
education and his soon-to-become illustrious career
as Brockport’s assistant wrestling coach. Within a few
short years, he was named the College’s head
wrestling coach. That was 34 years ago, and today
Murray shows no signs of leaving the classroom or
wrestling mat behind.
Murray has led his team to five national titles, 23
conference championships, numerous winning seasons
and, in1999, became the third coach in the history
of collegiate wrestling to achieve 100 All-Americans,
joining the likes of legendary Iowa coach Dan Gable.
He has coached 122 All-Americans and 26 National
Champions through 2004. What’s more, Murray has
made his presence in the world of wrestling felt all the
way up to the Olympic level—coaching wrestling
Olympian Frank Famiano in 1984.
It might seem hard to imagine that a single sport
could dominate at a college for more than a quarter of
a century, but coach Murray was able to explain the
SUNY Brockport phenomena with ease. “It’s hard
work, sacrifice, effort and commitment that brings success.” Coach Murray cites Brockport as the main
source of his own success. “Because the College has
such a great faculty, that in turn attracts a lot of good

Murray has led his team to national championships in
three different decades and has coached more than100
All-Americans, including Frank Palumbo (bottom right).
students,” said Murray who is also quick to note the
invaluable help his assistant coaches have given him
over the years as another reason why Brockport
wrestling has been so successful for so long. “I’m just
one spoke in a big wheel,” he remarks. Besides enjoying his time in the gym, Murray also finds joy in the
classroom where he has found many answers to his
own questions as well as new questions to ponder.
There’s another member of the SUNY Brockport
community who shares Murray’s belief and upbeat
perspective.
Sachio Ashida came to SUNY Brockport about the
same time as Coach Murray. Like Murray, Ashida
served in his country’s armed services as a young

man, training to fly suicide missions with the
Japanese Air Force. Fortunately for Ashida
and for SUNY Brockport, he did not have to
experience any real flight time. At age 29,
Ashida left Japan and eventually made his
home in Upstate New York. The village of
Brockport’s small town setting is the reason
he came—the caring people of the community
and the College is the reason he stayed.
Ashida came to the College to teach courses in psychology. Over the years, it was his
own unique innovations with curriculum that
have made him a staple in the program. The
teaching standard at the time was pretty
much reading and reciting from the textbook.
Ashida began implementing experiments and
added several throughout the years, enhancing the department’s curriculum.
Ashida believes that the primary objective
at university level should be to “learn how to
learn.” He wanted students to realize the
power of thinking
and acquire a
“unique wisdom.”
Ashida gained a
reputation for
being a tough
teacher who
recognizes that
it is both difficult
and rewarding
to stand by one’s
beliefs. Many
Sachio Ashida
of his students
return to thank
him for his commitment to helping them
achieve a quality education, one which has
set them on the path to academic, professional and personal success.
Although he was a Fifth Degree Black Belt
at the time that he came to America, Ashida
had no intention of teaching judo when he
joined the faculty at Brockport. Eventually, at
the request of students and faculty members,
he began instructing his first judo class with
just five students. Today, the courses enroll
about 25 students each semester.
Sachio Ashida is one of the most respected teachers and officials in the sport of judo in the world.
Much of Ashida’s teaching practices are
based on a form of Zen philosophy—judo is
itself a form of Zen. Ashida took a principle
from the Zen belief structure and applied it to
his teaching in the classroom and on the judo
mat. Roughly translated it says, “I’ve never
crossed the stream, but leading my students
to the uppermost shore safely is my purpose.”
In 1962, Ashida was appointed a US
Olympic Committee member, representing
judo. He was the head coach for the US
Olympic Team at the 1976 Montreal
Olympics, and was the only 1984 Olympics
judo referee from the US at the Los Angeles
Olympic games. He has served as head coach
for the US International and World Judo
Championship teams, and as a referee in
numerous International and World Judo
Championships, traveling around the world.
In the spring of 1998, Ashida was a referee
and technical supervisor at the National
Collegiate Judo Championship where the
Japanese ambassador called him a “true
samurai.” In a matter of weeks, Ashida was
presented with one of Japan’s highest honors,
and the Emperor of Japan declared Ashida a
“National Treasure” for his efforts to spread
the Japanese culture. Ashida is currently the
oldest member and highest rank of international referees in the United States.
Today, he is an International Judo
Federation Class A referee and a Kodokan
Judo Eighth Degree Black Belt. He serves on
numerous national committees and continues
to lead the College’s judo team, which is
ranked in the top three in the Eastern
Collegiate circuit.
Murray and Ashida understand what it
takes to be a winner, whether they’re living
their beliefs in the classroom or “taking them
to the mat.”
