Two themes resonate throughout this 2004-05 Report to the Community.
The first is probably more obvious - Hudson Valley Community College
transforms lives. I saw that clearly during my “secret shopper” trip to
campus before I even applied for the president’s job, and have seen it
each and every day since assuming the presidency on April 18, 2005. The stories
you’ll read here demonstrate Hudson Valley’s ability to help students realize their
dreams, whether it’s becoming an entrepreneur, a CEO or simply a well-rounded,
educated person who is able to give back to his or her community.
More than 60,000 strong, our alumni are a testament to the transforming effects
of a Hudson Valley education. So, too, is the record-breaking growth the college
experienced in 2004-05: Hudson Valley broke the 12,000-student mark for the first
time in its history, enrolling 12,316 students in credit-bearing courses or programs.
Those enrollment figures represent an 8 percent increase over the 2003-04 academic
year. Hudson Valley is now the sixth largest community college in the State University
of New York system; prior to the 2004-05 academic year, it had been ranked seventh.

County of Residency:
The second theme is a bit more subtle, but no less important. We are helping to drive
the Capital Region — and Tech Valley — economy. In addition to serving students
in credit-bearing courses, the college enrolls another 14,000 people annually in its
non-credit and business and industry training offerings.
Capital Region (Albany, Rensselaer,
Saratoga and Schenectady): 10,980
Other New York State Counties: 1,104
Out of State: 167
International Students: 65
Through career-specific programs, on-demand training and our newly-rejuvenated
efforts to partner with local and regional businesses and industry, we are forging
a stronger role for the region’s largest undergraduate institution — as an engine for
economic and workforce development. The college has a tremendous economic
impact in the entire Capital Region — and on Rensselaer County alone, the economic
impact is $342 million.

by Jason McCord
Before there was Storytown, let alone The Great Escape,
the Capital Region had Guptill’s Arena. And while roller skating may seem old-fashioned
today, Charles “Skip” Guptill is hardly surprised that the rink his father opened on Valentine’s Day 1950 still draws crowds of
skaters, week after week. “It’s boy meets girl every night,” he explained. “It’s all-American as apple pie.”
Hudson Valley Community College has
been part of the Guptills’ business and
family success. Skip’s two oldest sons,
Charles III and Wesley, graduated from
the college in 1986, using the business
knowledge they gained to help run the
family business. Three daughters —
Angela, Holly and Valerie — followed, and
come next fall, the youngest of Skip and
Nancy’s eight children, 17-year-old Danny,

ferred to the University at Albany, where
he graduated near the top of his class.
“The college was great for our family
because we wanted to keep our children
close to home,” Skip said. “They all loved it.”
Now Charles and Wesley oversee the
rink’s daily operations as co-owners and
managers. That frees their father to do
what he really enjoys — sitting near the
ticket booth each night, welcoming the
generations of families that come to lace
up their skates.
“When you have eight children going
to college, it made sense. But after so
many, it ought to be free,” Nancy joked.
Charles and Wesley attended Hudson
Valley together, riding to college each
day from the family’s Colonie home.
“They had an excellent business program
and I liked the smaller classroom size,”
Charles recalled.
Graduating with a Marketing degree,
Charles went back into the family business,
where — as did all the Guptill children —
he had worked growing up.

Now in its 56th year, Guptill’s Arena
has expanded beyond skating, with an ice
cream shop next door to the Route 9 skating rink and an in-house communications
and marketing endeavor both doing well,
Wesley noted.
But it’s still the “world’s largest roller
skating arena,” with its large, mirrored
ball and cheery phrases, including “Keep
Smiling,” painted on the cinderblock
walls, that brings generations of families
coming back.
School of Business
All in the Family
The key, Wesley explains, is promoting
everything from children’s birthday parties to singles nights: once patrons come
for the events, he says they can’t help but
have fun skating.
That business savvy was honed while
Wesley was a student in the college’s
Business Administration program, with its
“smaller, teacher-oriented classes.”
“The teachers at Hudson Valley taught
you. The larger colleges, you learn to pass
the test,” Wesley said.

Angela Guptill was the first of Skip and
Nancy’s three daughters to attend
Hudson Valley. “The very fine staff did an
outstanding job instructing and challenging students,” she recalled. “We got a
tremendous foundation there.”
Graduating in 1989 with a Business
Administration degree, Angela went on to
earn a doctorate in educational administration and policy studies. “Hudson Valley
is a really good stepping stone. The sky’s
the limit. You can transfer to any college
you want to,” Angela said.
Holly Guptill, now Holly Symonds, continued the family tradition, also choosing
Hudson Valley’s Business Admininstration
program. She now teaches sixth-grade
language arts in the Shenendehowa
Central School District.
“Hudson Valley was an excellent
transition from high school to college,”
Holly said. “It prepared me well
because I was able to take the courses
I needed for my field.”
Valerie Guptill ’04 is following in her
sister Holly’s footsteps: currently a senior at Saint Rose, she looks forward to
teaching in the area. “Hudson Valley’s
the only school I applied to,” Valerie
said. “I wanted to go there.”
And now Valerie is passing her knowledge on to her younger brother, Danny,
who plans to transfer to Siena College
after Hudson Valley, and then join the
family business, too.
Watching his children help run the
business his father started when
“Eisenhower was president and Elvis was
driving a truck” only makes success that
much sweeter for the Guptill patriarch.
“I’m real proud of the kids,” Skip said
with a smile. “Having them working here
with me, you couldn’t have it any better
than that.”

Highlights of the 2004-05 Academic Year
Innovative business partnership
provides focused
management training.
The college has partnered with Price
Chopper Supermarkets to create an
innovative program linking its Business
Administration program to the supermarket chain’s in-store management
training program. Beginning in the fall of
2006, the college will offer a 32-credit
certificate program in Supermarket
Management and Operations exclusively
for Price Chopper associates. Academic
leaders and supermarket executives
worked together to develop the certificate, which is composed of 10 courses:
six Hudson Valley courses and four new
Price Chopper-specific courses.
New agreement boosts online degree opportunities.
Hudson Valley signed articulation agreements with Excelsior College covering nine unique
degree programs that will allow students to earn up to three years of a four-year degree at
Hudson Valley and then transfer to Excelsior to earn a baccalaureate degree. Eight of the agreements pertain to programs in Hudson Valley’s School of Business, and one applies to a program
in its School of Engineering and Industrial Technologies. The agreements also allow students who
take the bulk of their coursework online the ability to continue that mode of study at Excelsior.
“Many of our online students juggle work, families and school,” said Dr. Carolyn Curtis, vice
president for academic affairs. “This is a perfect partnership because it gives students the
ability to pursue their four-year degree in the same convenient way.”
New program in tourism responds to regional need.
Students interested in careers in the tourism, convention and event management industry can
now earn a Marketing degree at Hudson Valley geared to that growing field.
Tourism is a major element of the Capital Region’s economic base. “We looked at what was
happening in the area, and we knew this would meet a need,” said Marketing Department
Chairwoman Karen L. Marbot, who brought extensive event and conference planning experience
to the creation of the new option. Three new courses will explore key aspects of the industry:
Introduction to Conventions and Events, Events Management, and Tourism and Resorts.

credits Hudson Valley for his career taking off.
It’s easy to picture the 53-year-old
Guilderland native frustrated by inactivity.
Today, his job — as chief executive officer
of the very same airport that once drove
him to pack up and drive away — suits
him perfectly.
“Now look at it,” O’Donnell said,
proudly. In the 90 minutes that he spent
discussing his job, nine planes arrived
and 10 departed, wearing stripes of 13
airlines. They ferried 1,400 passengers,
while the airport took in $3,600 in parking revenue. Elsewhere at the 1,100-acre
facility, plans were being laid for the $6

Engineering Technology program, where
he immediately was treated like a future
engineer, not just somebody who had
made it through high school.
While valued for the hands-on
knowledge he gained working construction, O’Donnell was not excused from
learning the ropes.
O’Donnell had not enjoyed high
school classes, nor exactly excelled.
Instead, he relished the summers and
weekends he helped contractors build
houses, and his dream was to become a
construction contractor.
“At Hudson Valley, I was just a typical
student, someone anxious to get ahead
but who needed to build character. We
were all a little restless,” he said. “It was
a great transition and in two years I was
fully employable.”
All too quickly, though, it was clear
that building houses on his own was far
trickier than moonlighting for someone
else. O’Donnell did not yet know how to
estimate the cost of materials or the proper way to pour concrete in zero-degree
weather. A year after graduating from
Guilderland High School, he saw, reluctantly, that he had to return to school.
He graduated in 1975 with a 3.8 gradepoint average and found a job in the
private sector, at Callanan Industries.
Hudson Valley Community College was
the natural choice. He enrolled in the Civil
“When I interviewed for that job, I
showed drawings of some of my projects
at Hudson Valley,’’ O’Donnell said. “There
were five people applying, but I knew
based on my work there that I had won
the job. By the time I drove home from
the interview they had called and offered
it to me.”
School of Engineering
a n d I n d u s t r i a l Te c h n o l o g i e s
In 1996, he landed at the airport,
loaned by the state for just two years to
help transform Albany County Airport
from the rinky-dink, far-from-international airfield where travelers had to trudge
in any weather to get from terminal to
plane, plane to terminal.
Three years later, he was still there,
having been awarded the title of chief
operating officer. After five years, the
state stopped holding his position, and at
the airport he remained.
It had never occurred to him to devote
a full-time job to just one project — but
the scale and variety of what was taking
shape at one mega construction site satisfied him: the terminal, control tower,
parking garage, air cargo facility, police
and fire operations, bars, restaurants, art
gallery and meditation room added up,
really, to a small city.
And that small city has since gone
“international,” having replaced “county”
as its middle name to reflect the airport’s
ability to accept overseas cargo and international passenger flights diverted from
other airports. And now, planes are taking off and landing all day.
“I go to two or three conferences a
year to see what other airports are doing
and don’t see anything better than what
we have here,” O’Donnell said, without a
hint of braggadocio.
He was named airpor t CEO in
September 2003. The job changes daily
and it is big: O’Donnell supervises 300
employees and answers to a sevenmember Airport Authority Board.
The most serious complaints concerning passengers, vendors and even cab
drivers make their way to his office, as do
plans for multi-million dollar capital
improvements. His expertise is sought on
big, technical things, such as the nation’s
first facility for processing the run-off of
glycol, the chemical used in de-icing. But
small, irksome problems don’t escape his
engineer’s eye.
To demonstrate, he pulled out a steno
pad — O’Donnell thinks most clearly
when he can draw pictures — and
sketched out the unwanted water spout
that had snaked through the ceiling at
Continental Airlines’ ticket area. Was it
the skylight, the roof membrane, the
flashing causing the problem? After 45
minutes on the roof with carpenters and
laborers, O’Donnell figured it out.

in 1982 that Rosetti learned the theories behind his skills.
Rosetti transferred to Siena College after a year at
Hudson Valley, but the knowledge he learned still serves
him well as owner of Rosewood Home Builders, named
the number one home builder in the Capital Region by
The Business Review.

O’Donnell moved to the state Office of
General Services, where he led teams

Semiconductor program added to meet Tech Valley demand.
A new course of study in Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology is designed to meet the
growing needs of Tech Valley businesses — such as IBM, Evident Technologies in Troy, and the
proposed Tokyo Electron facility in Albany. The college collaborated with educators at the
University at Albany and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to develop the program. Students will
receive a combination of classroom education and hands-on instruction, which will be taught in
the clean room labs at UAlbany’s School of NanoSciences and NanoEngineering.

Great
Education

Hudson Valley grad finds teaching
the underprivileged a privilege.
by Jason McCord
Hudson Valley helped Amanda Greco ’97 earn more than just
a $60,000 scholarship to prestigious Bennington College.
It showed an admitted “B-minus, C-plus” student from Columbia High School the joy of teaching, leading her to a rewarding career working
with underprivileged children. “Hudson Valley really shaped my life.” Greco said. “I tell everyone to come here. It’s a great college.”
Greco speaks passionately about the
teaching profession. But she admits
that back in high school, she wasn’t
very focused.
One thing Greco knew she loved was
working with kids. Growing up, she often
babysat and worked as a nanny, watching
children of friends and neighbors.
“It was great to come to Hudson
Valley because I didn’t know exactly
what I wanted and I didn’t have to
spend a fortune to find out,” Greco said.
So when she immersed herself in
Hudson Valley’s Early Childhood program,
she quickly became excited about a
career in teaching.

The teachers at Hudson Valley made
all the difference, Greco said, and
sparked a passion for teaching. “They
went out of their way to help,” Greco
said. “Some of the things I learned I’m
still using in my classes now.”
Greco’s average high school grades
suddenly turned into outstanding marks
at Hudson Valley, where she earned
places on both the Dean’s and President’s
lists. Unfocused no more, she even
joined former Hudson Valley President
Stephen Curtis in Albany to lobby on the
college’s behalf about the importance
of reading programs, and education
in general.
Greco graduated from Hudson Valley
in 1997, and headed to Bennington with a
$60,000 scholarship designed for students “who think out of the box and who
are very self-motivated,” according to Dr.
Joan Lawson, a Hudson Valley professor
who was chairwoman of the Early
Childhood Department when she nominated Greco for the award.
“Amanda immediately came to mind
because she was such an understated
leader,” Lawson said. “We could see
she was a self-starter and could push the
School of Liberal Arts
and Sciences
ball forward.” Recalling Greco’s charm
and her great knowledge of the college’s
educational program, Lawson describes
Greco as “one of those students” that
professors remember vividly years later.
After getting her master’s degree, Greco
moved to Myrtle Beach, S.C., where her
brother was going to college and playing
baseball. She taught kindergarten for
three years, working with an incredibly
diverse racial mix of students.
But after her brother graduated,
Greco wanted to be closer to her family,
and moved back to her hometown of
East Greenbush.
She’s now in her second year teaching
first-graders at the New Covenant Charter
School, in Arbor Hill. Growing up with a
strong family structure has shaped her
decision to help children who aren’t
always as fortunate, and the work is
extremely rewarding, Greco explained.
“I love working with kids who I can
really make a difference with,” Greco
said. “That’s important to me, for
them to feel loved and special.”

When hearing of Greco’s work with
underprivileged children in Arbor
Hill, Lawson was hardly surprised:
“That’s such a good match for her.”
New department chairs named.
The college named three new department chairs to lead academic departments.
Nancy T. Cupolo, a member of the faculty since 1989, has more than 25 years of teaching experience in special education, elementary education and early childhood education. She leads the
Teacher Preparation and Early Childhood departments in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Dorothy H. Reynolds was appointed chair of the Fine Arts, Theater Arts and Broadcast
Communications departments in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She previously served
as interim chair, and executive assistant to former President John L. Buono.
Karen L. Marbot was named chair of the Accounting and Marketing departments in the college’s
School of Business. A full-time faculty member since 2001, she also oversees the Business
Advisement Center.

Best-selling author Sherman Alexie showed
why the New York Times once described
him as “what Robin Williams might be like
if he’d been raised on an Indian reservation
and had a 20-foot jump shot” during a
performance that kicked off the college’s
Cultural Affairs offerings. His performance, “The Business of Fancydancing:
Poems, Stories, Punch Lines and Highly
Biased Anecdotes,” made an audience of
more than 700 people laugh, pause and
think, as he covered topics that ranged
from the different ways men hug each
other to the difficulty of being, as he
described it, “ethnically ambiguous” since
the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A
Spokane/Coeur d’Alene Indian, Alexie has

modern communities.
Students honored for excellence.
Five members of Hudson Valley’s Class of 2005 — Patrick Ball of North Chatham, Terrence
Bynum of Troy, Donald Govel of Albany, Cristina Kohlhofer of Venezuela and Reality Price of
Albany — were honored with the Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence. The awards honor
students who have excelled in at least one of the following areas: leadership, athletics,
community service, creative and performing arts or career achievement.

Philanthropic support to Hudson
Valley Community College and its charitable
foundation totaled $771,323 during the
2004-05 academic year.
That support — comprised of cash donations from faculty, staff, alumni, foundations, corporations and friends, and gifts of goods from
corporations — was used to enhance the teaching and learning environments at the college in several ways. For example, $366,297
was used for scholarships, which were awarded to 466 Hudson Valley students during the 2004-05 academic year. Scholarship awards
ranged from $200 to full tuition. Approximately $40,000 formed the basis of an endowment for the college’s Disability Resource
Center, which annually serves more than 500 students with disabilities. The endowment will allow the college to enhance services the
center provides to students. In addition, $21,000 was used to establish an endowment for the college’s summer camps for children,
which served nearly 700 children during the summer of 2005.
Awards for Corporate Excellence, Career Achievement and Distinguished Service.
Clough, Harbour & Associates, one of the
nation’s largest engineering firms, was
named the inaugural recipient of the
college’s Corporate Excellence Award in
recognition of the company’s reputation
in the field and commitment to Hudson
Valley and its alumni.
Hudson Valley’s relationship with
Albany-based Clough, Harbour & Associates
dates back to the early 1960s, when alumnus William Harbour ’60 joined the firm.
He went on to become one of the company’s
namesakes, and part of the long line of
Hudson Valley graduates who work there.
The Corporate Excellence Award was
one of five awards that were presented at
the June awards luncheon sponsored by
the Alumni Association. The event evolved
out of the association’s Distinguished
Alumni Award Luncheon, which had been
held since 1984.
Currently, alumni comprise nearly 15
percent of CHA’s 550-person workforce.
In addition to Harbour, two members of
the company’s executive committee are
Hudson Valley graduates: Industrial
Services Director James Ryan ’68 and Chief
Operating Officer William Lucarelli ’73.
Also honored were:
James R. Barbieri ’75 received the Otto V.
Guenther Career Achievement Award.
Barbieri is president and CEO of Holbrook
Cooperative Bank in Holbrook, Mass.
William F. Fagan ’73 received the 1953
Award for Distinguished Service to Hudson
Valley Community College by an Alumnus.
Fagan is president of William J. Fagan
& Sons, Inc., an insurance company in
Troy, and has served on the board of
the Hudson Valley Community College
Foundation since 1994.
Anne S. Morgan, a retired Hudson Valley
professor, received the 1953 Award for
Distinguished Service to Hudson Valley
Community College by a Non-Alumnus.
Morgan served as a professor for three
decades. She joined the Foundation
Board of Directors in 2000, and currently
serves as chairwoman of its Scholarship
Committee.

Economic uncertainty and increase demands on
tax dollars are diminishing public support for
community colleges. As a result, community
colleges are turning to private philanthropy
as a necessary resource to ensure continued
excellence in teaching and learning. Faced with
dwindling public funding, the college faces the
need to diversify funding streams in order to
prepare students to meet the challenges of the
future and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Grant aids college’s
automotive program.
The DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund
awarded a $9,300 grant to the Foundation
to benefit programs offered through the
college’s Automotive Department.
The grant funds will be used to purchase new specialized tools and shop
equipment, including a new lift for the
College Automotive Program that Hudson
Valley offers in partnership with
DaimlerChrysler, and to recruit students.
The federal Department of Labor estimates there will be 35,000 new jobs available annually in the service sector of the
automotive industry. “This grant will help
us to ensure our curriculum and equipment is up-to-date so we can continue to
meet the demand for highly trained professionals,” Automotive Department
Chairman P. Phillip White said.
11th Golf Classic
sets new record.
For the second straight year, the
Foundation’s Golf Classic has raised
a record amount of money to benefit
programs and services at the college.
Presented by U.W. Marx Construction,
the 11th annual golf classic netted
$52,592. More than 140 golfers participated in the event, held in July at The
Country Club of Troy.
Photos by Anthony Salamone
Proceeds are put toward the
Foundation’s Annual Fund, which assists
the college in funding unmet needs and
seizing unexpected opportunities. In the
past, golf classic proceeds have funded
scholarships for at-risk students, technology enhancement, campus beautification
and special programs for disabled students.
Bank of America, Capital District
Physicians’ Health Plan, Fairbrother &
Company LLC, First Niagara Bank, State
Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno,
and the Times Union were the other major
sponsors of the event.
Gift of software a boon.
Technology students at Hudson Valley
have a new tool to learn industry-standard,
integrated project management, thanks to
a gift made to the Foundation by Shaker
Computer and Management Services Inc.
The gift, valued at $100,000, will allow
instructors to access the Latham-based
company’s Construction Industry Software
(COINS), which provides contractors with
integrated financial management, project
management, service management, and
human resources management.
C i v i l E n g i n e e r i n g Te c h n o l o g y,
Construction Technology, and Electrical
Construction and Maintenance instructors
will be able to integrate its use into their
coursework. Shaker’s president, Maynard L.
Lassonde, is a 1973 graduate of the college’s
Electrical Engineering Technology program.
New Marine Corps
scholarship honors Powers.
The Marine Corps Coordinating Council
of the Capital Region donated $30,000 to
the Foundation to establish a scholarship
in honor of its honorary president,
William D. Powers, a retired Marine
sergeant. The number of scholarships
and the award will vary; the $30,000
gift will be invested as an endowment,
with 5 percent of the market value
of the account being used each year
for scholarships.
The scholarships will be awarded in
both the fall and spring semesters to
reservists pursuing any course of
study at the college; those serving in
the 2nd Battalion, 25th Marines, will be
given preference.
Seven local charitable foundations have
contributed more than $21,000 to the Hudson
Valley Community College Foundation to benefit the
college’s summer programs for children.
The gifts will be used to establish an endowment to provide
camp scholarships for low-income students. Through its
Office of Community and Professional Education, the college
offers a variety of athletic and educational summer
camps. Nearly 700 children participated in the college’s
summer programs during the summer of 2005.
The gifts are as follows: $5,000 each from the Bank of American Foundation, Cohoes Savings
Bank Foundation, and the Troy Savings Bank Foundation; $2,200 from McCarthy Charities;
$2,000 from the Hudson River Bank Foundation; $1,500 from the Stewart’s Holiday Match; and
$1,000 from the WGY Christmas Wish.
The college’s summer academic enrichment programs enhance students’ learning and
social skills and increase the students’ confidence that higher education is possible. Other
camps offered include basketball, soccer, dance and adventure; junior counselor training;
and technology enrichment.
President Drew Matonak greets John Scarchilli ’74,
president and chief
executive officer of Pioneer Savings Bank,
at a reception for President’s Circle donors
held at the college in June. The President’s
Circle, of which Scarchilli ser ves as
chairman, recognizes individuals who
have contributed $1,000 or more to the
college’s Annual Fund, which benefits the
college’s greatest needs. The President’s
Circle had 68 donors who contributed
$92,000 to the 2004-05 Annual Fund.

A career
devoted to
by Eric Bryant
If there is a theme to Heather Daly’s life it is simply this:
She was put on this Earth to help others. “It may sound corny but I feel like that’s why I’m here,” she said. “That’s what I’m all about.”
A 2000 graduate of the college’s Dental
Hygiene program, Daly’s compassion
was put to the test just six months after
graduation. As part of a mission trip from
Albany Medical Center, she traveled to
Haiti and saw firsthand the wrenching
poverty there.

“I was just devastated. I thought I was
going there to clean people’s teeth but
it became much more than that. I don’t
think I’ll ever forget the faces of those
kids,” she said.
The medical team, which included representatives from hospitals around the state,
set up two makeshift clinics in a village
square — medical care was dispensed from
a church, and across the street an open-air
school provided room for dental care.
“We saw just about everything,” Daly
said. “There was no concept of dental
care, no understanding.”
The lines of needy children and adults
seemed endless, and one day, halfway
into her stay, Daly reached a breaking
point. “I had just seen so much pain. I told
the people I was working with that I
couldn’t take it anymore.”
The Waterford resident left for the day,
but was back the next. Something changed
inside her during that two-week mission:
she realized her skills as a hygienist could
truly make a difference somewhere where
they are desperately needed.
Daly was committed to going back to
Haiti in 2001, but the return trip was canceled after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
In the four years since, she’s been searching
for another mission trip that would allow
her to put her dental hygiene skills to use.
Now, she’s finally found one. In March of
this year, she’ll travel to the Oaxaca region
of Mexico to work with Global Frontier
Missions, a group that provides a variety
of services to the rural poor in Mexico.
Her experiences in Haiti reinforced a
calling to help others that Daly has
answered most of her adult life. Few can
School of Health Sciences
find the words to explain why they
choose a specific path, but ask Daly
and she uses words like “right” and
“spiritual.” “I feel like this is what God
wants me to be,” she said.
As an older student coming to Hudson
Valley, Daly admits she was a little
nervous. Those fears subsided quickly,
though. “The faculty members were very
encouraging. They became my friends
and my teachers,” she said.
In addition to working in two separate
dental practices, Daly works one day a
week for the Seal a Smile program — with
six other hygienists who also are Hudson
Valley graduates. Seal a Smile sends a
paid hygienist and dental assistant to
local elementary schools in low-income
areas to provide dental services, including
cleanings and fluoride treatments, and
the hygienist and dental assistant interact
with the kids and provide a good role
model for the importance of brushing
and flossing.
“We have a mobile unit that we bring
into the schools,” she explained. “Many of
these kids have never been to a dentist.”
Her ultimate goal is to be involved in
public health as a career. She also dreams
about contacting some of the celebrities
who suppor t missions of mercy —
Angelina Jolie or Oprah Winfrey, perhaps
— because she’s always thinking about
all the other kids she could help in Africa,
Mexico, Haiti.
But barring that, Daly knows what
she’d do if a dollar led to a dream: “If I win
the lottery, I already have a plan,” she
said with a smile. “I’m going back to Haiti
to build a hospital.”
For now, though, she is happy to look
forward to Mexico in the spring and the
chance to help out. It’s what she’s
meant to do.

Volunteers give kids a smile.
Emmanuel Murray learns proper flossing
should begin at an early age at “Give Kids a
Smile,” an annual one-day volunteer initiative
held at the college. Preschoolers visited the
clinic to learn healthy dental hygiene habits
and to receive a free dental hygiene screening.
An American Dental Association program, it
was locally co-sponsored by the Third District
Dental Society, the Fourth District Dental
Society, the New York State Dental
Association and Hudson Valley, which was
the only local site for this initiative.
Faculty and staff honored for excellence.
Seven faculty and staff members from Hudson Valley and its Educational Opportunity Center were
named recipients of the prestigious SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence for 2005 — and three
others were recognized with the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching
The Chancellor’s Award recognizes exceptional contributions to the university by dedicated
professionals, and the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching honors those who
exemplify the best in teaching.
Associate Professors Sandra Galligan of Castleton, Donald Heckelman of Poestenkill, and Carol
Wilber of Scotia, and Assistant Professor Maryanne Pepe of Troy each received the Chancellor’s
Award for Excellence in Teaching.

and liaison to the college’s Center for Effective Teaching.
Recipients of the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching were Joseph Forget of Waterford,
an associate professor in the Educational Opportunity Center’s Culinary Training program;
Ann Geisendorfer of Guilderland, who serves as chairwoman of the Criminal Justice Department,
and Elizabeth Riccio of Glenmont, a professor in the Dental Hygiene Department.

Highlights
of the 2004-05
Academic Year
From construction theory
to practice.
Construction Technology students from
Pro f e s s o r E d w a rd s F l e m i n g ’s St e e l
Construction classes “top out” a 12-foothigh steel structure they built to put the
theoretical knowledge they gained in the
classroom to practical use. The “topping
out” ceremony — in which a project’s final
beam, topped by a miniature, plastic evergreen tree and American flag is put in place
— is a tradition in the construction industry.
It signals completion of a project, honors
the work of carpenters and ironworkers,
and ensures good luck for the building.
Online enrollment skyrockets.
Hudson Valley is committed to making its
quality programs accessible to the community, and nowhere is that more evident than in
the growth of the college’s online offerings:
in the past five years, the college’s online
enrollment has skyrocketed, from 1,683 in
2000-01 to 7,925 in 2004-05.
Students now have the opportunity to
earn 10 degree and certificate programs,
including Business Administration, Individual
Studies, and Computer Information Systems,
completely online. In addition, 15 other programs—Biotechnology, Early Childhood, and
Information Systems, to name a few, offer
more than 50 percent of their courses online.

Largest grant ever fuels tech improvements.
A $1.8 million federal grant — the largest competitive grant secured in the college’s history — will
allow Hudson Valley to enhance instructional technology and laboratory facilities. The award,
from the U.S. Department of Education’s “Strengthening Institutions” program, will provide:
• $873,000 for instructional technology upgrades in 52 classrooms on campus.
• $525,000 for a Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Lab for the college’s new
Electrical Technology: Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology program.
• $263,000 for the creation of a Digital Language Lab, a computer-assisted learning
environment that will allow the Foreign Language and English as a Second Language
programs to use the Internet in the application of coursework. The lab will
accommodate 24 students, but others in remote locations will be able to access
all of the lab’s resources via the Internet.
• $164,000 for a stand-alone computer networking lab that will allow the college to offer
new areas of study, including Networking, Server Administration, Telecommunications,
and Information Technology, within its Computer Information Systems program.
The grant provides the college with $365,000 annually over a five-year period that began
Oct. 1, 2005.

The college also has seen tremendous
growth in another off-campus option: the
College in the High School initiative, which
allows high school students to take collegelevel courses at their schools. Enrollment in
College in the High School courses totaled
1,440 for the Fall 2004 semester; that figure
represents an 18.6 increase over the prior fall.
Hudson Valley partners with 29 secondary
schools in the Capital Region, including
South Colonie High School, Troy High
School and Capital Region BOCES, to offer
the courses, which range from General
Psychology and Sociology to Survey of Art
History and Spanish Language and Culture.
Study reveals college’s economic impact.
Hudson Valley Community College has a $342 million annual economic impact on Rensselaer
County, according to a study by the Capital District Regional Planning Commission. The study
also estimates that the college annually provides $73.5 million in household earnings for
college employees and others affected by college operations in the county. Fifty-two percent
of Hudson Valley’s 1,071 employees live in Rensselaer County.
“The results of this study conducted by the Capital District Planning Commission clearly
demonstrate that not only are Hudson Valley’s academic credentials beyond reproach, but their
economic impact is a tremendous benefit to the county as well,” Rensselaer County Executive
Kathleen M. Jimino said.
The economic impact study was calculated by the Capital District Regional Planning Commission
using the Regional Industrial Multiplier System (RIMS) method, which was initially developed
by the U.S. Department of Commerce in the 1970s. The method, which is widely used in both
the public and private sectors, has continually been improved and updated since its inception.
“We are fortunate to have this valuable institution educating our future leaders and greatly
contributing to the economic vitality of our county,” said Linda Hillman, president of the
Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
