This ye1rbook is dediGJted to Allen Madle. A gre1t professor, colle1gue, and friend May you rest in peace. Mission Statement The mission of the State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome (SUNYIT) is to offer undergraduate studies in professional, technical, and selected liberal arts fields, as well as graduate studies in selected academic disciplines; to encourage participation in educationally oriented community and public service; and to support basic and applied research appropriate to its curricula. SUNYIT values and encourages academic and intellectual achievement of the highest quality, broad access to persons motivated to pursue college preparation and experience, the breadth and depth provided by a sound and comprehensive liberal arts education and the technical competencies inherent to the applied disciplines. SUNYIT is committed to the integration of these elements in a coherent program of higher learning. In addition, SUNYIT strives to provide a challenging, culturally diverse, and supportive educational environment that fosters and encourages active student participation in residential life and student organizations, athletics and recreation, and cultural and social events. 2 3 History Established by the SUNY Board of Trustees in 1966, "Upper Division College at Herkimer-Rome-Utica" began offering graduate education classes to 300 students in 1969 using classrooms at West Frankfort Elementary School. In May 1971, the college began operating in the former Globe Mill building in West Utica. The former mill was gradually remodeled into classrooms, offices, and a library. In 1973, the college was granted authority to offer bachelor's degree programs; the first 58 full-time undergraduates began attending classes in the fall. With growing enrollment, the institution leased three additional buildings in West Utica and one in Rome, and adopted a new name in 1977: the State University of New York College ofTechnology at Utica-Rome. In 1981, groundbreaking ceremonies were held in Marcy for the new campus. The first building, Kunsela Hall, was completed in 1984, and the college operated two campuses during a transitional period. In the 1987 fall semester, entering students attended all classes at the new campus; in 1988-89, the college name was changed to the "State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica-Rome." Other buildings followed: Donovan Hall, the Campus Center, a service building, and two residential complexes; Adirondack Residence Hall opened in 1991, Mohawk Residence Hall opened in 1996. 4 The newest addition to the campus, the $14 million Cayan Library, was dedicated in 2003. Four additional buildings are planned: a $13.6 million student center, $20 million field house, $27.5 million advanced technology center, and $23.5 million residence hall; a groundbreaking ceremony for the student center was held in October 2008. Building on its undergraduate and graduate degree programs in technology, professional studies, and the liberal arts, SUNYIT continued to expand its academic offerings. In 2003, SUNYIT launched the region's first Master of Business Administration in Technology Management program, and has since added additional programs in criminal justice and electrical engineering (in cooperation with Binghamton University), as well as a second MBA, in health services management. In 2003, SUNYIT accepted its first class of freshmen; the first class was graduated in May 2007, completing SUNYIT's transition from transfer institution to four-year college. 5 Letter from President B. Wolf Yeigh Congratulations to the Class of 2010! On behalf of the faculty and staff of SUNYIT, I am pleased to offer you my best wishes for success. As you look forward to a future filled with promise, this yearbook will serve to remind you of all those who had important roles in your college experience: friends, faculty, and many others. Let me urge to you to continue your education; learning does not end with the earning of a degree. Be open to new experiences as you grow professionally and personally. Again, my congratulations and please accept my invitation to visit the growing SUNYIT campus as alumni, so that you may see the continuation of the success in which you played a part. Sincerely, B. WolfYeigh, Ph.D., F.ASME President 6 Letter from SA President Christopher Roberts~-----... My Fellow Students, I hope this finds you well! Another year at SUNYIT has come and gone, and for many, like myself, the last semester is over. This year has been packed with learning, growing, fun, and accomplishments. SUNYIT, itself, has done the same. SUNYIT is getting a new Student Center, a new Athletic Facility, and new Dorms to put all the new students into. With such exciting growth, now is a great time to be a part of the SUNYIT family. Our students are accomplishing things that they never have before. From SUNYIT Baja Club placing very high at national competitions, to Marketing Club sending students to learn abroad, Professional Nurses Organization, helping others, first hand, in another part of the world, and the Men's Basketball team pushing themselves further than they have ever been before, SUNYIT students are accomplishing more and more, at a record setting pace. I hope that you enjoy your time here as much as I have, and I hope that you have as many great memories of this place as I do. This school is truly one of the best, and I hope you hold your time here, and the friends you make, dear to you forever. Sincerely, Christopher J.
