Erie Community College Working
to grow green Campuses with
new initiatives
ECC, national grid and iBEW 97
overhead line Training School
opens at South Campus
Erie Community College officially
opened the new ECC, National Grid and
IBEW 97 Overhead Line Training
School at an event July 15, 2010 at its
South Campus in Orchard Park, NY.
National Grid donated $25,000 and
provided technical assistance to ECC to
help construct the school, which
includes 17 new utility poles that
students enrolled in the college’s electric
power overhead construction course will
use during their training.
The course is part of ECC’s new
Energy Utilities Technology certificate
program currently being reviewed by
SUNY and the New York State
Department of Education.
The Energy Utilities Technology
program, developed in partnership with
National Grid, gas utility companies and
IBEW Local 97, has combined the
college’s overhead electric line worker
and gas field operations technician
training programs into one certificate
program.
The program is designed to fill a critical
need for qualified entry-level workers in
the energy utility industry. Job opportunities exist for overhead and underground line workers, meter workers,
field service technicians and sub-station
maintenance workers.
“The availability of skilled labor is
important to National Grid’s operations
S t a r t
H e r e .
G o
and to the future of the energy utility
industry as a whole,” said Dennis
Elsenbeck, regional executive director,
energy services delivery, at National
Grid. "Our partnership with ECC helps
us to develop a consistent source of
specially trained personnel and provides
a local avenue for formal training to
support this integral part of our operations. Through business-to-business
partnerships with local assets such as
ECC, National Grid is able to meet our
own objectives and at the same time
create value for our community."
ECC President Jack Quinn commended
National Grid for its support in establishing the Overhead Line Training
School.
“On behalf of the ECC Board of
Trustees and the entire college community,
I would like to thank National Grid for
the generous donation to get the
Overhead Line Training School up and
running,” Quinn said. “In particular, I
would like to thank Paul Cianchetti and
Dennis Elsenbeck from National Grid
for their integral role in creating this
fantastic partnership. I would also like to
thank Kevin Long from IBEW 97, who
completes the link between academia,
industry and labor that makes this
partnership work. This is an excellent
example of how ECC joins with labor
and industry to provide our students
with the training necessary to become
skilled laborers who can enter the workforce with high-paying jobs.”
The 30 credit-hour program can be
completed by full-time students in two
semesters. An optional Electric Power
Overhead Construction course at the
Overhead Line Training School will be
offered during the summer, and would
be a requirement for students seeking
employment as an overhead electrical
line worker.

office at 716-851-1575 or visit

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Replenish. These
are the four Rs that Erie Community
College wants its students, faculty and staff
to embrace as they head into the new
academic year.
To help protect the environment, ECC is
committed to becoming a more responsible
and sustainable institution in order to
reduce its environmental impact.
As part of that commitment, the college
began an “ECC Going Green” program in
2009.
Less than one year later, ECC has
already taken several steps to reduce the
environmental impact of running its three
campuses.
A large part of ECC’s environmental
footprint is caused by the energy it
consumes. To upgrade energy efficiency at
the college’s North and South campuses,
ECC is currently in the final phases of an
energy performance contract with Siemens
Building Technologies, Inc. A second
energy performance contract is being
developed to address energy conservation
at City Campus.
As a result of these efforts, along with
steps taken by ECC’s facilities management:
• Indoor lighting fixtures on all campuses
have been or will be retrofitted to switch
to high efficiency fluorescent lamps.
These lamps contain less mercury and
consume 25 percent less electricity than
the older lamps they replace.
• Incandescent bulbs are being replaced
with compact fluorescent lights that
consume 75 percent less energy.
• Outdoor lighting is controlled by
photocells, which are sensors that detect
light, turning the fixture on when
receiving less light and turning it off
when receiving more light. A portion of
ECC’s indoor lighting is now also
controlled by motion detectors
or timers.
• Computerized energy management
systems now control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation systems in many
buildings.
• An increasing number of the HVAC
systems in ECC’s buildings have variable
speed drives, which slow down fans to
save energy when full speed is not
required.
• Boilers and hot water tanks are being
replaced with high efficiency models or
are being tuned to achieve maximum
efficiency.
But even small steps to reduce waste can
make a difference. For example, ECC has
eliminated a hard copy version of its
campus directory.
The college is also working with a new
recycling vendor, Metro Waste Paper
Recovery, to increase paper and cardboard
recycling and introduce beverage container
recycling on ECC’s three campuses.
And recently, ECC switched to buying
100 percent post-consumer content
recycled 8.5” x 11” paper for all copiers
and printers.
Old computers, fluorescent lamps,
empty toner and printer cartridges, fryer oil
from kitchens, waste motor oil and automotive chemicals, maintenance solvents and
automotive and household batteries are
recycled by certified vendors or disposed of
according to New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation guidelines.
To achieve a greener clean, all supplies
used to clean and maintain the college’s
facilities, including its restrooms, floors and
carpets, have been replaced by green
cleaning products.
"ECC is committed to setting an example
to our students, our region and society by
developing and implementing programs
and policies in operations, procurement
and curriculum that promote social and
environmental sustainability as well as
addressing global climate change. ECC
will prepare its students for the green
economy of the future,” ECC President
Jack Quinn said.

is going green, or to contribute your ideas,

new green Academic Programs
Prepare Students for Jobs of the
Future
As the nation’s green economy continues
to grow, so do the academic programs
offered at Erie Community College.
ECC has several new exciting
environmental programs
that will prepare students
for the green jobs of the
future.
The college has
received approval
from SUNY and is
awaiting approval
from the New York
State Department of
Education for two new
associate degree programs:
Environmental
Science
and
Environmental Technology Geoscience.
The Environmental Science program
is designed for students who want to
transfer for a four-year college or university to earn a bachelor’s degree. As a
result of articulation agreements,
students in the environmental science
program will be able to transfer into the
Environmental Studies program at the
State University of New York at Buffalo
or the Environmental Science or
Environmental Biology programs at the
school of Environmental Science and
Forestry at Syracuse.
ECC currently offers a Heating,
Ventilating, Air Conditioning and
Refrigeration Technology certificate
program that prepare graduates
to operate and repair HVAC
equipment and systems to
achieve maximum efficiency and conserve
energy.
ECC now also
offers
a
Green
Building Technology
certificate program,
where students use the
newest technology to
install and test structural
building components, HVAC and
plumbing systems and learn about
sustainable construction methods.
All of the program’s courses are based
on the five main categories of the LEED
Green Building Certification: sustainable
sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and
indoor environmental quality.
In the future, the college plans to
expand its certificate program offerings
to possibly include photovoltaic solar
electric, geothermal energy and wind
turbine maintenance.

Erie Community College holds
62nd Annual Commencement
organic Farm Share helps
Students learn and grow
Tomatoes, spinach, peas, beans, squash,
peppers, garlic, peppermint and chives
were just a few of the many delicious
vegetables and herbs grown this summer
as part of an organic farm share project
organized for Erie Community College
students by Assistant Social Science
Professor Mary Altair.
Seven students at ECC’s South
Campus participated in the project,
which took place at Altair’s Bleak House
Farms in Wales, NY.
The students planned, planted and
cared for an acre of produce in exchange
for a share in the harvest. The land,
fertilizers, and chemicals used were all
organically based.
This year is the second year in a row
that Altair has organized an organic farm
share for students.
Altair originally decided to start the
project two years ago, when she started
teaching a course in Global Issues. One
of the topics covered as part of the class
is famine and food production systems.
There is a huge difference in philosophy between the factory farm model and
that of a Community Supported
Agriculture farm share, Altair explained.
“The students were very interested and
since I own an organic farm, I decided to
try it with student volunteers,” Altair
said.
The students contribute their labor
and receive a portion of the harvest. If
there is enough to sell at a produce stand,
they also get a share of the net profits.
“This is something that is becoming a
trend in both rural and urban areas
around Western New York,” Altair
noted.
The students have really enjoyed it and
have also learned a lot about organic
food.
Last year resulted in a bumper crop of
healthy fresh veggies, and this year has
been even more productive, Altair said.
Erie Community College held its 62nd
annual commencement Wednesday, May
19, 2010 at Kleinhans Music Hall, 3
Symphony Circle, Buffalo, NY.
ECC graduated a total of approximately 1,900 students for the 2009-2010
academic year, including students who
received associate degrees in September
2009 and January 2010.
SUNY Board of Trustees member
Eunice Ashman Lewin was the keynote
speaker.
Lewin is a bilingual social worker for
the Committee on Special Education at
the Buffalo Board of Education, a
position she has held since 1979.
She serves on several Boards of
Directors, including the Niagara
Frontier Transportation Authority, is a
founding member of Roswell Park
Alliance, and is a member of Buffalo
Urban League, Hispanic United of
Buffalo and Canisius College Board of
Regents.
She is also a member of the Erie
County Chapter of Links, Hispanic
Women’s League and Buffalo Niagara
Guitar Festival Originators.
She received the Ebony and Ivory
Civic Award in 1994; the Governor’s
Award for Excellence in Education in
2002; the National Conference for
Community and Justice of Western New
York 50th Annual Citation Award in
2003 and the Marcus Garvey Community
Service Award in 2004. She was inducted
into the Western New York Women's
Hall of Fame in 2002.
Also at commencement ECC student
Sherry Schlenker was awarded the 2010
ECC President’s Medal for excellence in
academics, co-curricular activity and
community service. Schlenker a resident
of Buffalo, is a business administration

“The absolute highlight of the year is
our commencement ceremony, where the
college community comes together to celebrate graduation day for our students,”
ECC President Jack Quinn said. “It is the
culmination of many hours of hard work
and dedication, and I would like to wish
all of our students who are embarking on
a new journey after ECC the very best of
luck. I would also like to thank SUNY
Trustee Eunice Lewin for being our
speaker, we truly appreciate her energy
and enthusiasm toward education.”

ophthalmic Dispensing Students
Assist oneSight organization
More than 300 million people around
the globe suffer from poor vision simply
because they do not have access to eye
care. To help change that, students in
Erie Community College’s ophthalmic
dispensing program have donated their
time to assist OneSight, a non-profit
organization that provides free vision
care and eyewear to people in need
throughout the world.
Fourteen second-year ophthalmic
dispensing students, under the direction
of Assistant Ophthalmic Dispensing
Professor Kathleen Sweet, volunteered
their time during the spring semester to
manufacture more than 300 frames and
600 lenses for OneSight.
Each year, OneSight’s trained volunteers and doctors travel to developing
countries worldwide to hand-deliver the
eyewear and provide eye care, including
thorough optical exams, to thousands of
adults and children in need.
To date, more than 175 clinics in 31
different countries have been assisted by
OneSight.

ECC Foundation Board Elects
Three new Directors
The ECC Foundation manages all scholarship funds from private sources for the
college.
Some scholarship funds are endowed,
which means that the principal is invested and only the earnings on the investment are given as scholarships. A scholarship may be endowed with $12,500, the
amount necessary to earn a minimum of
$500 annually.
Other scholarships monies are donated
to the Foundation and given to students
within the same year. These “passthrough” scholarships may be for any
amount, however, $500 is recommended
as a minimum in order to make an impact
on student needs.
ECC students may apply online on the
ECC website in mid-October at
www.ecc.edu (click on scholarships
under quick links). The deadline to apply
will be in early February 2011.
