Dear Alumni, Friends, Parents, Faculty and Staff of Nichols College,
Tammy (Cardillo) Wolf ’94
Account Executive for Healthcare at VMware
2011-2012 President’s Society Chair
As a proud alumna and the 2011-2012 President’s Society chair, I want to thank you for your continued support of Nichols College and for playing a part in its success. Each year, I am energized by the commitment of the Nichols community and the things which we have been able to accomplish.
Here are a few of our fundraising achievements this year:
• More than $3.3 million was raised in restricted and unrestricted gifts.
• Eighteen alumni joined the Colonel Conrad Society, ensuring that Nichols will remain a part of their lifetime legacy.
• Thirty-three new donors took steps to support Nichols.
• Faculty and staff participation rose to 68 percent, nearly doubling last year’s rate.
• With the help of a committed Nichols community, we were able to raise the number of endowed scholarships to 15.
Even in uncertain times like these, I am proud that our alumni have come together in support of the College, and I appreciate your commitment to Nichols and the students it serves.
This fall the College is opening the new student center, a facility that is destined to transform Nichols, thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends who embrace the potential of this special place on a hill.
On behalf of the entire Nichols College community, we thank you for your support. Let’s continue to work together to keep the future bright for Nichols College and its students. Sincerely,
Tammy (Cardillo) Wolf ’94

NICHOLS COLLEGE
A proud history of making a difference
A
lmost every person in the country has benefited from the quality, value, and innovation of products manufactured by two local companies, Hyde Tools and DexterRussell, located in Southbridge, Mass. As innovators in the field of handheld tools and cutlery, each organization has made significant advances within their fields; however, it is the unwavering loyalty to their communities which truly sets them apart. The companies were joined together in 1968, when Hyde Manufacturing purchased Russell Harrington. Although both companies had supported community projects, in 1982 Robert U. Clemence, former chairman of Hyde, formed the Hyde Charitable Foundation which formally articulated a commitment to Southbridge and Southern Worcester County. Since 1982, the companies have reorganized into separate ownership as the Hyde Group and the Affinity Group, and Russell Harrington is now known as Dexter-Russell, yet the belief in supporting the communities where their employees live has always remained constant. As America’s first cutler with manufacturing roots linked back to 1818, Dexter-Russell has been employing, training and
advancing local workers for almost 200 years. Making a concerted effort to give back to the local community Dexter-Russell recently revised their mission statement to include that they “will honor our role in communities and support areas where our employees live.” Nichols Board of Trustees member, Alan Peppel MBA ’98, chairman of the Affinity Group which owns Dexter-Russell, states that he “was astounded at how strong our mission statement connected with our employees and how important it is for us to continue to stay involved in their communities.” Thirty years and numerous charities later, one can see the positive impact that the Hyde/ Dexter-Russell Charitable Foundation has had. This year alone, the Foundation has been able to aid in the repair of an ailing infrastructure at the Southbridge Community Center, assist the YMCA camp, its main facility, and Old Sturbridge Village, and provide funds which link the local middle school with the Ecotarium in Worcester. “We like to help capital projects – the bricks and mortar – for organizations that benefit our employees,” says Dick Clemence, chairman of the Hyde Group. With three of the five current presidents at Hyde Tools and
Affinity Group completing their MBAs at Nichols, including Tom Hardy as president of American Promotional Products in Charleston, S.C., you don’t have to look far to see the connection between the College and the Foundation. Yet, when deciding to support the new campus student center, their connection as alumni was only one of the determining factors. “We recognize that Nichols is an important anchor for the Southbridge area. We also recognize that many of the students who live in town and who attend Nichols may not board there. Having a place that allows students a conducive place to study and grab a cup of coffee is good for all students, but specifically those who commute from bedroom communities like Southbridge,” Peppel says. In the past dozen years, the Hyde/Dexter-Russell Charitable Foundation has contributed over $250,000 to Nichols, confirming their commitment to the College as well as the local community. A proud alumnus and employer of many Nichols graduates, Rick Clemence MBA ’04, president and CEO of the Hyde Group, believes that it is “essential for alumni to remember where they got their education and recall that Nichols helped

them get to where they are today. It is important to give back to the next person who is trying to get ahead by completing their education.” Local businesses like Hyde Tools and Dexter-Russell understand the importance of higher education to their communities and are committed to its success. Dick Hardy, former chairman of the College’s Board of Trustees and current trustee emeritus who is chairman emeritus at the Affinity Group, notes, “One of the things we were always conscious of on the College’s Board was that we wanted [Nichols] to be a low cost business school by staying under the average tuition, and we worked very hard to keep that true.” Hardy continues to work diligently on this promise as Nichols moves to fund the new student center completely with the support of alumni and friends of the College. As Hyde Tools and DexterRussell continue to make history locally, it is clear that they will not be alone in celebrating their success. The true impact of these organizations goes deep into the roots of their communities, making a difference for generations to come.
