2013 Report - Kingsborough Community College
KINGSBOROUGH
COMM U N IT Y COLLEGE
A Letter From the President
Almost everyone knows Coney Island’s Cyclone
rollercoaster. Riding the Cyclone combines the
exhilaration of climbing to great heights with the
scream-inducing fear of descending into deep
valleys. This past year at Kingsborough was a lot
like riding the Cyclone. We experienced both joyous
highs and traumatic lows.
In October, Superstorm Sandy ravaged our campus
causing millions of dollars of damage. Remarkably,
through the efforts of our entire college community,
we were back in operation in only eight days.
Resilience is often thought of in only physical
terms; but our recovery from Sandy demonstrated
a resilience of the human spirit. We showed that,
even after experiencing grave challenges, by working
together we could give our students the opportunity
to get both their educational lives and their personal
lives back in order.
Then came the spring! And spring lifted our spirits
high with the announcement that we had been
named a “finalist with distinction” by the Aspen
Institute’s Community College Excellence Program.
That designation meant that Kingsborough, after
rigorous evaluations, was considered to be among the
top four community colleges in the nation.
You will read much more about the year in this
annual report. But an annual report can be much
more than a mere chronicle of the past year. It can
be a signpost to the future. As we look forward to
celebrating Kingsborough’s 50th anniversary next
year, we are now a college in transition. After nine
years of leading our college to great achievements,
Dr. Regina Peruggi retired from the presidency. She
showed us all that leadership does make a difference.
Though she will be missed, her work here will be
a lasting legacy. During our college’s transition, I
am proud to be serving as interim president. We
will certainly be changing as an institution. I am
confident, however, about change that is built upon
our past strengths and our sense of community. That
kind of change will lead our college to an even more
promising future.
Dr. Stuart Suss
Interim President
An Epic Journey
W
O U R MOM E NT I N TH E S U N
e like to think that every year at
Kingsborough is remarkable. But
we are still trying to get our heads
around this one: In an emotion-charged 12
months, Kingsborough survived a hurricane
that devastated the region; was named
one of the Top Four community colleges in
America by the prestigious Aspen Institute;
and said goodbye to a president who
radically altered our philosophy of serving
students.
Superstorm Sandy gave us no choice. But we
sure fought back. After she uprooted trees,
flooded classrooms and disrupted the lives of
2,500 Kingsborough students, we cleaned up our
campus, threw open our doors, and connected our
college family and community members with the
help they needed to restart their lives. And the sun
came out again, just like it always does.
Unlike Sandy, the Aspen Institute gave us a little
warning. After making the list of the nation’s
top 120 community colleges, we were invited to
apply for the Aspen Prize for Community College
Excellence. In the report that won us a spot in
the top 10, we described in detail our arduous,
intentional, decade-long campaign to integrate the
college’s academic and social services. Our only
goal, then and now, was to make our students more
successful.
Though we didn’t know it at the time, our Aspen
bid — which resulted in a $100,000 cash prize
and the Top Four ranking — would serve as
a valedictory for President Regina Peruggi,
who retired in 2013 after nine years of service.
Peruggi’s work is a virtual mirror image of our epic
journey to the Aspen Prize.
Arriving with a mandate to increase retention,
graduation and transfer rates, she introduced
an era of self-examination, experimentation and
collaboration to the college. Her legacy is the
network of programs that captivated the Aspen
Institute: Learning Communities; Faculty
Innovation Awards; Faculty Interest Groups;
Single Stop. But more than that, it’s the attitude
adjustment she brought to the way we connect
with students. If they succeed, we succeed.
“Kingsborough earned this finalist-withdistinction recognition because it does an
exceptional job with a highly diverse student
body,” said Josh Wyner, executive director of
the College Excellence Program, in announcing
the award. “Half of its students are minority
students. Over 60 percent of its students are
receiving Pell Grants, meaning that they are lowincome students. And yet the college is exceeding
national averages in graduation rates. They’ve
got nearly double the national average in terms of
transfers to four-year colleges. And it’s done this
in really intentional ways. Kingsborough builds a
community that holds standards high.”
As the college gets ready to observe its 50th
anniversary, we have much to celebrate. We’ve
been tested by natural disasters, transformed by
great leaders, and redeemed by the excellence of
our faculty and students. We are resilient. We are
renewed. And we are ready.

ou know how newsrooms go silent when
the Pulitzers are announced? Or how the
whole world stops when the Olympics
name a new host city? March 19, 2013, was like
that at Kingsborough.
You could almost hear a pin drop as college administrators
huddled around their computer screens, waiting for The
Aspen Institute to announce its prestigious Aspen Prize for
Community College Excellence.
This moment had been a long time coming.
In the run-up to the first Aspen Prize, in 2011, Kingsborough
made the list of the nation’s top 120 community colleges. This
time, we reached the Top 10. Could we go all the way to the top?
TH E A SP E N P R I ZE FOR COMMUNIT Y COLLEG E
Josh Wyner, executive director of the Washingtonbased policy institute’s College Excellence Program,
appeared on live video-stream. We held our breaths.
“The Aspen Institute is delighted to announce today
that Kingsborough Community College in New York
City has been named one of the top four finishers in
this year’s Aspen Prize,” he said.
Hooray! Finally the world knew what we’ve been
preaching all along.
In placing Kingsborough among the four best of the
nation’s more than 1,200 community colleges, the
Aspen Institute said it was wildly impressed by the
college’s completion rate, its spirit of inclusiveness
and commitment to students with high needs, and
the way graduates’ salaries compare to the rest of the
region.
It lauded Kingsborough’s willingness to experiment
— to do whatever it takes to keep students on track.
Over a decade, we virtually pushed the reset button
on our college process, electrifying the connection
between institution and students like never before.
We tweaked every piece of the puzzle (academic,
administrative, student-support) to make it more
polished — more welcoming and accommodating —
to our students.
“It lauded
Kingsborough’s
willingness to
experiment — to
do whatever it
takes to keep
students on track.”
We upped the number of Learning Communities to
50. We welcomed Single Stop, a program that acts
as a virtual student response unit, putting benefits
screening, legal aid, financial counseling and tax
prep into a single office. We retooled the advisement
process so that it starts at the earliest point of
contact. We strengthened our follow-up methods. We
rewarded faculty risk-takers.
This, as the Aspen Institute noted, is the new
“business as usual” at Kingsborough. It’s building
a community of listeners and problem-solvers who
can humanize the academic experience. It’s saying to
students, “Hey, we’ve got your back.”
It’s working. And The Aspen Institute gets it.
As a very proud President Peruggi said, not long after
that perfect March day when time stood still for a
moment: “Students are coming here, they are staying
and they are graduating.”

ocated on a peninsula, Kingsborough
enjoys a magnificent setting — a feature
that unfortunately makes it especially
vulnerable to bad weather. So when
Superstorm Sandy arrived in late October
2012, the college braced for — and took — a
lashing. Then generosity rushed in.
“We had flooded classrooms, debris washing up
from everywhere – even decks from people’s houses
in Breezy Point,” President Peruggi said at the
time. But with its typically unsinkable attitude,
Kingsborough quickly put itself back together,
thanks to a hard-working Buildings and Grounds
team, and turned to helping others.
Within a week, the staff returned to work. Students
soon followed — many with heartbreaking stories.
Kingsborough administrators reported that more
than 2,500 students were directly affected by the
disaster.
The college and the community responded to the
devastation with open wallets, resourceful solutions
— or sometimes just a hot meal. Professors turned
to technology (Skype, PowerPoint, texting) to teach
class and hold virtual office hours. Hotlines were set
up (one for faculty and one for students) to connect
people with appropriate government agencies and
other relief efforts.

DAMAGE FROM SUPERSTORM SANDY FORCED THE CAMPUS TO CLOSE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK.
“Sometimes, even
the smallest
gestures seemed
like tiny miracles,
and brought
glimmers of hope.”
And Kingsborough threw open it doors to the
community: Local residents were invited to come
in, get something to eat, stay warm, take a shower,
recharge their computers and cell phones, and fi nd
out how they could get additional help. A makeshift
food and clothing distribution center was created;
stocked with donations from Food Bank NYC,
National Grid, Walmart and Benjamin Moore; and
manned day and night by volunteers. Ultimately, it
reached more than 7,000 people.
Grants poured in from Single Stop USA, the Robin
Hood Foundation, and the Petrie Foundation.
Our own Sandy Relief Fund distributed $3,400
in MetroCards to needy students, plus another
$34,000 to hard-hit faculty and staff. When it came
time for the annual Walk-A-Thon, the college family
laced up its sneakers and marched across campus,
to the tune of $22,000.
In the end, the college raised more than $200,000 in
Sandy relief monies.
THE ANNUAL WALK-A-THON RAISED MONEY FOR THE SANDY RELIEF FUND.

Sometimes, even the smallest gestures seemed like
tiny miracles, and brought glimmers of hope. At
the clothing-distribution center, one shell-shocked
student found a coat that fit, but after noticing it
had a price tag, she put it back. When an attendant
kindly told her it was free, the woman fell to her
knees, sobbing. It was the fi rst piece of warm
clothing she’d had in a week.
Regina Peruggi
AN A+ LEGAC Y
I
n her nine years as president of
Kingsborough (2004-2013), Regina Peruggi
didn’t just transform the culture of the
college. She rewired the synapses of its brain.
When the former president of Central Park
Conservancy and Marymount Manhattan College
arrived at Kingsborough, it was just another community
college — good but not great. By the time she left, it was a
nationally celebrated model of excellence.
Sure, Peruggi was a champion of academic rigor,
a dynamic fund-raiser, an innovative leader. But
her enduring legacy will be the integrated support
system she created for the college’s largely lowincome and minority student base.
Realizing that students would never graduate if
they couldn’t afford transportation, if they came to
class hungry, if they couldn’t speak English, if they
had to leave their kids alone, she institutionalized
a community of care. (Among her innumerable
accomplishments in the social-services realm:
She launched the nation’s first Single Stop office at
a community college and opened a campus Food
Pantry.)
And for every nuts-and-bolts improvement she
brought — from buses to computerized registration
— she profoundly altered the status quo. She
encouraged collaboration (Faculty Innovation
Awards). She experimented boldly (Learning
Communities). She even tried to set students up
for success before they left high school (President’s
Prep).
WITH THE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION DAY COMMITTEE
“Of all the important contributions she made, the
one that has benefitted us most is creating the
environment where we feel comfortable taking
risks,” says David Gomez, Kingsborough’s Vice
President for Academic Administration.
Driving around campus on her red golf cart, no
project was too big or too small for Peruggi. Here was
a president who triumphed over challenges, refused
to be intimidated and exceeded all expectations. 

COLLEGE HIGHLIGHTS
You might think that nothing would trump being ranked one of the Top 4 community colleges in the
country by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program, but we had an exciting year:
 Kingsborough became the first college in Brooklyn to
offer an Emergency Medical Services-Paramedic
degree program. The two-year curriculum — approved
by the New York State Department of Health’s Bureau
of Emergency Medical Services — includes hands-on
experience at area hospitals and trauma centers. At
the college, students use a state-of-the-art simulation
center with high-fidelity training manikins and a fully
equipped ambulance, thus gaining the expertise to
give the highest level of pre-hospital care.
 The Child Development Center celebrated its
40th anniversary with a ribbon cutting for a new
playground and a party for past and present teachers,
caretakers, and KCC student-parent alumni (some of
whom brought their grown-up children). The center
traces its roots to 1970, when a small group of studentparents formed the Day Care Collective, which
campaigned for affordable childcare. Kingsborough’s
president, Leon M. Goldstein, was so impressed with
the collective’s detailed research that he procured
a space and hired the center’s first director and
teachers, in 1972. The center currently provides
on-campus care for children between the ages of 18
months and 9 years, offering flexible hours to meet the
needs of students.
 The American Heart Association (AHA) recognized
the college as an official training site. Through our
Continuing Education program, AHA-approved
instructors teach life-saving courses such as first aid,
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use
an automatic external defibrillator (AED).
 Gov. Andrew Cuomo recounted his State-of-theState and Budget message to a standing-room-only
audience on Feb. 13, 2013. President Regina Peruggi
and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz
greeted the governor, and Dimitri Foster, an Honors
student majoring in engineering, introduced him.
 The first KCC Reads Student Conference —
featuring student-led panels, performances, and
artwork based on this year’s common reading choice,
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks — took place
on April 29, 2013. The daylong event culminated
in a keynote lecture by Dr. Christoph Lengauer, a
researcher featured in the book, who spoke on “The
Impact of Doing Better: An Interplay of Science and
Empathy.”
12KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2013
 After a six-month restoration to the tune of $500,000, the college radio station, WKRB 90.3FM, re-opened with
a Homecoming ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 14, 2012. The makeover was conceived by Robert Herklotz,
WKRB manager and Kingsborough alum (’95), and Dr. Cliff Hesse, professor and director of Media Technology
& Management. Designed by KCC architect Marin Stancu, the newly configured space emulates a commercial
radio station and includes a 20-seat “smart” classroom where media-technology courses will now be taught.
The station also features two state-of-the art studios for production and on-air broadcasting, with digital
equipment that rivals that of any major-market radio station in the country. Another bonus: The new Pro Tools
audio-production suite allows students to work on a variety of audio productions, including music, public-service
announcements, and station IDs.
 The college hosted several speakers of note this year:
Martha J. Kanter, Under Secretary of Education,
delivered the keynote at Spring Convocation; Fabien
Cousteau, grandson of famed undersea explorer
Jacques Cousteau and star of PBS’s acclaimed Ocean
Adventures, delivered EcoFestival’s keynote speech;
and Elizabeth Yeampierre, a nationally recognized
environmental justice leader and the first Latina to
chair the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
National Environmental Justice Advisory Council,
gave the Commencement address.
 On Sept. 12, 2012, less than two months before
Superstorm Sandy, Kingsborough was the setting
for “Brooklyn Under Water: Confronting
a Landscape of Risk,” an interdisciplinary
conversation about the future of Brooklyn’s
waterfronts in the age of climate change and rising sea
levels. Co-organized with the Brooklyn Waterfront
Research Center at New York City College of
Technology, the event featured speakers from a wide
range of disciplines, including architecture, history,
city planning, biology, and geophysics. At the same
time, the KCC Art Gallery displayed a visual arts
exhibit, “Brooklyn’s Waterfronts: Past, Present,
Future,” showcasing work that contemplated the
future of our local shores.
 Head Coach Paul Watson
was named Community
College Volleyball Coach
of the Year by the CUNY
Athletic Conference.
A Brooklyn native and
alumnus of Kingsborough
and Brooklyn College,
Watson has been involved
in KCC Athletics for more
than a decade.

Kester Chase
Monique Flemming
Vlasta Safarova
Affectionately called “Mom” by her younger teammates, Vlasta
Safarova had already graduated from a specialized high school for
athletics, earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education, taught
physical education and coached volleyball coach for six years – in
Azerbaijan – before immigrating to the United States. Coming here
meant starting over — and learning a new language. Safarova attended
ESL classes starting in 2005 and enrolled at Kingsborough in 2011.
This year, the physical education major earned the coveted 2013
CUNYAC Schtolar-Athlete of the Year. She graduated with a GPA
of 3.96; and according to Head Coach Paul Watson, her volleyball
team had the best season in the history of the sport at KCC. The team
won a CUNY Championship and went to state semi-finals. “In order
to be a volleyball player, travel with the team, be here for practice,
raise her family, and do so well in school,” Watson said, “I think it’s a
phenomenal thing.”
Amin Garcia, a freshman criminal justice major, won gold medals
in the men’s 110-meter hurdle at both the CUNYAC Outdoor Track &
Field Championships and the NJCAA National Tournament – while
maintaining a 3.60 GPA. Garcia also figured among the Wave’s top
performers in men’s triple jump (CUNYAC Silver Medalist), shot
put (CUNYAC Gold Medalist), and 400-meter hurdle (CUNYAC
Community College 1st place). The Brooklyn native was awarded
CUNYAC All-Star in men’s cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor
track. He was also named CUNYAC Scholar-Athlete of the Month with
Honorable Mention in January and HSS Scholar-Athlete of the Month
for the month of May.
Three Kingsborough athletes took All-American honors at the
NJCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships: Kester Chase (men’s
outdoor track and field) earned his honor with a second place 48.78
finish in the 400-meter dash; Monique Flemming (women’s outdoor
track and field) earned All-American honors twice with a first-place
finish in the 400-meter hurdles (1:05.14) and second overall in the
400-meter dash (59.07); and Amin Garcia (men’s outdoor track and
field) finished first in the 110-meter hurdles (15.02).

The Kingsborough community extends beyond our campus
borders. We have a responsibility to the borough of Brooklyn,
and we are proud of the role we are playing in its revitalization.
A gift to the Kingsborough Community College Foundation,
Inc. - a charitable 501(c)(3) organization that exists solely to
benefit Kingsborough - will fund scholarships and support
faculty and curriculum development. But it supports more
than an institution. It supports a community.

“It took nearly 13 years for me to go back to school. My plan included
everything except one: how to pay for it. My tuition was paid using my
checking account’s overdraft – at 29.99999%. Despite working fulltime,
the payments were oppressive. My contributions are given so that any
student that may be in the situation that I was in might find some relief.”
