ANNUAL REPORT

Ramapo College’s Mission Ramapo College of New Jersey, one of twelve senior public institutions in the New Jersey system of public higher education, offers programs in the liberal arts and sciences as well as in business and other professional studies, within a liberal education context at both the bachelor’s and master’s level. Organized into schools which provide thematic learning communities, the College presents a curriculum of traditional majors and innovative programs in an interdisciplinary fashion; selected programs are offered in collaboration with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and other institutions. Supported by global partnerships and telecommunications, international and intercultural education have become central themes in Ramapo’s programming. The College purposely involves students in the cultural diversity of the world and of American society.

come from many states and foreign countries. Barrier-free from its inception, the College has a continuing commitment to students with disabilities. This student profile supports Ramapo’s commitment to increasingly selective admissions standards.

Ramapo’s well-credentialed faculty pride themselves on teaching and seek to educate students to become life-long learners. They emphasize critical thinking and the awareness of value questions, such as the importance of promoting a sustainable environment. They present a challenging educational program so that Ramapo graduates can pursue truth in an increasingly interdependent and intercultural world.

Ramapo shares its intellectual, cultural, and facility resources with area communities, corporations, schools, service organizations, and various governmental entities. In these ways, the College provides cultural enrichment, human resource development, and a strong positive economic impact.

Ramapo provides individual attention to students, especially through the maintenance of small class size. Another historical characteristic of Ramapo College is the opportunity to encounter the world beyond the campus through its emphasis on experiential learning, which encompasses a rich combination of internship, field placement, community service, study abroad, and cooperative education opportunities. These experiences help Ramapo fulfill its special commitment to assist in seeking employment for its graduates, while its high academic standards support the placement of many students in graduate and professional schools. The College is a community committed to maintaining diversity of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and economic background among its faculty, staff, and students, who

Message from the President

Excellence With A Global Perspective From inception, the knowledge imparted at Ramapo College of New Jersey was unconventional and innovative. Pioneers in interdisciplinary education, the faculty made a firm commitment to providing students an education for living. International education, experiential learning, and intercultural education are the common threads that are interwoven into the curriculum to provide learning opportunities that are committed to excellence. Ramapo’s commitment to excellence is evident in the caliber of students it attracts. This year’s freshman class boasts an average SAT score of 1120 and ranks within the top twenty-four percent of their high school ANNUAL REPORT 2001

class. With the largest freshman class in its history, only forty-two percent of students who applied were admitted. As measured by class rank, incoming freshmen are increasingly better prepared for the academic demands expected of them. Our distinguished professoriate leads by example with its commitment to academic excellence. Ramapo’s commitment is also evident in its low faculty to student ratio of 17 to 1. This supports the notion that faculty/student exchange and interaction are at the essence of a liberal arts education. Our curriculum facilitates critical thinking, learning across schools and disciplines, and deep exploration of subject matter. The experiential focus of the Cahill Center emphasizes strong internships, cooperative education, fieldwork, and service learning. We have found that these characteristics of Ramapo College help to build and strengthen our community ties. Some view this structure as being expensive and unaffordable. At Ramapo, our position is that we cannot afford to be without it. Our expanding curricular offer-

ings continue to attract wellqualified students. Outstanding teaching, scholarly research, and an interdisciplinary structure are some of the exceptional characteristics that make the Ramapo teaching and learning experience unique. Another hallmark of Ramapo College is the international and intercultural education emphasis. Valueadded experiences such as the International Scholars Residence for Fulbright and other visiting scholars afford students engaging faculty interaction in a residential learning community. Underlying our phenomenal success are many qualities that make Ramapo a special place. One of these is Ramapo’s commitment to increasing the world’s globally-minded citizenry. Ramapo cultivates experiences to deepen its students’ insights into various cultures; increases their awareness of intra- and interpersonal diversities; and heightens their understanding of the foundations of intercultural, interreligious, and international conflicts. When I think about the future of Ramapo College, I dream of an institution that reaches out to the wider community across the United States as well as internationally, not only for support, but also for networking relationships. I would like people to picture a vibrant multicultural community of scholars within a strong liberal arts setting, with people throughout New Jersey and 2

all over the world represented. I can see this campus becoming an international microcosm, basically a living and breathing community for the advancement of interculturalism, interdisciplinary learning, international education, and experiential opportunities. When we examine and discuss the tools of communication within the world, we see that commerce has become more globalized, geo-political divides are becoming both less and more complex, increased migration, emigration, and immigration issues continue to compete for priority with issues such as global warming, public health, equality, equity, and access to education. These issues are not national issues. They are world issues. As Ramapo trains this country’s leaders of tomorrow, we are committed to fostering intercultural and international sensitivity. We help our students to understand the need for solutions to global conflicts and world peace. We invite our students to move into the future on a tabula rasa at Ramapo College. We encourage them to be bold and have the courage to not only seek answers – but, to ask questions that generations before dared not. We believe that our students have the power to transform our world, our planet Earth, and our society, but only if they dare. Rodney D. Smith President n

ANNUAL REPORT

Message from the Ramapo College Board of Trustees An Exceptional Year at an Exceptional College U.S. News & World Report ranks Ramapo College second among northern public comprehensive colleges. That ranking is, to a great degree, a clear reflection of the quality and dedication of our wonderful faculty. But it’s also important to remember that faculty do not operate in a vacuum. Ramapo is a community made up of administration, faculty, staff, boards and many volunteers, without whose help and generosity, we could not achieve all we do each year. As I look back over my ten years of involvement with the College, I realize that it would have been easy, each year, for everyone involved in our continuing success to sit back and bask in the glow of each previous year’s impressive achievements. Thankfully, no one does! Each year, Ramapo’s leadership, faculty, staff and volunteers come back with renewed commitment and drive to surpass the results of the previous year. Fiscal year 2000-2001 has been no exception and I would like to take this opportunity to highlight several achievements. Our accomplishments for the past year have included the opening of Maple Hall and the Pavilion Dining Hall and Confer-

ident, Dr. Rodney Smith. His selection as the College’s third president was the result of a long and demanding search process conducted with the participation of every segment of the College community. Dr. Smith comes to us from Hampton University in Virginia, bringing with him an impressive academic background and broad range of experience. I ask that everyone join with me in welcoming our new president and his family to Ramapo College and offering him our every support. The results we have achieved might be acceptable as the culmination of five years of effort at many other colleges. At Ramapo, they are representative of a single year’s achievement by an extraordinary community of dedicated administrators, faculty, staff, and volunteers. But, we must be careful not to take this level and quality of achievement for granted – all of this happens only because of the dedicated people who continually give “that little extra.” That is why those of us on the Board of Trustees take every opportunity to recognize and thank everyone for their continuing effort. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank each of you who have given “that little extra” and for helping to make this another exceptional year.

Message from the Ramapo College Foundation Board Continuing a Trend of Steady Gains In 2001 the Ramapo College Foundation continued a trend of steady gains in fulfilling its mission to “provide the resources that make the difference in Ramapo College’s quest for educational excellence.” I am grateful for the ongoing dedication of the members of the Board of Governors, for their hard work on committees, and attendance at Foundation-sponsored events. I am especially grateful to all of those who made a contribution in support of the Foundation’s activities this year. Despite a weak financial climate nationwide, I am pleased to report that the Ramapo College Foundation had positive gains in key areas: • Assets and endowments were at their highest levels, as was the amount awarded in scholarships. • More than $2.2 million was received toward College programs, scholarships, and faculty projects. • Our two primary fundraising events, the Distinguished Citizens Dinner and the Annual Golf Outing, together raised more than $228,500. • Investments performed better than expected, thanks to the diligence of the Finance Committee.

renovation of the College’s historic buildings, a Center for International Education and Entrepreneurship, and a Sustainability Center—a model for “green” practices in building construction and teaching. The Development Committee completed the Foundation’s first-ever strategic plan. The plan clearly outlines steps the Foundation must take to develop additional partnerships, increase support, and further assist the College community. Grant requests to departments of the federal government and state agencies increased this year. The Foundation secured funds from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for a lead-awareness project and a Ramapo Reservation Lake restoration project, as well as second-year funding from the State Council on the Arts. It is our privilege to work with Ramapo’s new president, Dr. Rodney Smith, as he increases Ramapo’s global perspective while expanding academic excellence.

One Student’s Story

Ramapo hosted numerous intercultural and international events during the 2000-2001 academic year and continued to receive recognition as an institution that provides “Excellence With a Global Perspective.”

John Tomaszewski has made four trips to Prague, including winter 2002. His first visit was as a participant in Ramapo’s Study Abroad Program. “Being in Prague sparked my interest in international politics,” says the political science/economics major. On his second trip as a SANYO Semiconductor Study Abroad scholarship recipient, he completed an independent project, “Post-Communist Transitional Economics.” His third visit, also on a scholarship awarded by SANYO Semiconductor, was to conduct research on Czech macroeconomic development. This project is an overall study of post-communist transition in central Europe. “I look at social indicators such as education and health access,” Tomaszewski says. “What I’ve found is that there is better quality, but the access is different.” Eight years ago SANYO Semiconductor began providing scholarships for students studying abroad in Prague. Dr. Michael Riff, director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, coordinates the program. Tomaszewski believes being a scholarship recipient has helped him grow personally and professionally. “It’s helped me go beyond the classroom and to delve deeper into research and study. I’m doing graduate level work as an undergraduate. It’s helped me see that we do live in a global community and helps me to understand what we’re doing here at Ramapo.” SANYO Semiconductor’s commitment to Ramapo students also extends to cooperative education opportunities. For more than a decade, the corporation has placed students in cooperative programs domestically and in Japan and Hong Kong. Tomaszewski’s interest in politics applies to his personal life, too. He is a former student trustee who served on the Board for two years. “I had input into the Phase VII housing project and assisted in the search for Dr. Smith.” Tomaszewski currently is president of Ramapo’s Student Government Association and a contributing editor for The Ramapo News, the College’s student newspaper. The senior plans to apply to graduate schools including the John F.

In its second season, the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts continues to present diverse and thought-provoking attractions from exhibitions to lecture series, contemporary art to masks and mimes, jazz to chamber music, and comedy to improv. With a nod to Internet technology, Ramapo participates in an Online College Fair™ program. Students and their parents logged on to a Web site to chat live with representatives from colleges and universities across the country, view the campus, and learn what Ramapo has to offer in a “virtual Q&A.” This online recruiting tool makes it easier for students and parents to interact with Ramapo representatives. On-campus housing gets a boost with the opening of Maple Hall. The building was designed with furnishings and voice, video, and data for three students in each room.

October 2000 The Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies sponsors three lectures showcasing new work being done on the Third Reich and the Holocaust. The lectures explored Nazi architecture and the Holocaust, a Polish Jewish boy’s escape and survival, and Polish society and the Holocaust. Arthur C. Ramirez, managing partner of The Christopher Company, a consulting firm he founded, is elected chairman of the Board of Trustees. He has been a member of the Ramapo College Board since 1994. “We are dedicated to maintaining the positive momentum that has developed at Ramapo over the years,” he states. An information technology (IT) concentration is added to the Master of Business Administration program. It addresses the challenge by industry for a new category of information technology professional. The IT concentration complements ongoing MBA programs in finance, management, marketing, and accounting. Thomas Palmer, president of Wyckoff-based DAF products, is elected chairman of the Ramapo College Foundation Board of Governors. A member of the Board since 1994, he previously chaired the College’s two major fundraising events: the Distinguished Citizens Dinner and the Annual Foundation Golf Outing.

The Haband Oaks program at Ramapo College is believed to be the largest corporate scholarship endowment at any state college or teaching university in New Jersey. The Ramapo College Foundation kicks off its Benefactors Performing Arts Series with a performance by Celtic fiddler Eileen Ivers. Tyco Capital (formerly The CIT Group) sponsored the series. Dr. Philip Anderson, a professor of physics at Ramapo, is selected as a New Jersey Inventor of the Year for 2001 and is honored at a Hall of Fame awards banquet at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. Anderson invented a component of the electronic surveillance system used in the plastic security tags hanging from garments in stores. The College recognizes African Ancestry Month with its first annual reception, African Connections. The celebration includes a trip to the Apollo Theater in Harlem. The Walter and Louise Sutcliffe Foundation and the Edward and Stella Van Houten Memorial Trust each provide $20,000 in nursing scholarships. The Sutcliffe Foundation funds up to fifteen scholarships based on economic need and the Van Houten Trust supports up to fifteen nursing students interested in the care of the elderly, children, or the disabled.

ANNUAL REPORT

Beyond our Campus – Global and Community Outreach PowerPoint presentations. The students represented schools in Franklin Lakes, Glen Rock, Hawthorne, Mahwah, Paterson, Ramsey, Teaneck, Teterboro, and Washington Township. The teachers involved are participants in Ramapo’s Master of Science in Educational Technology program, under the direction of Professor Angela Cristini of the School of Theoretical and Applied Science.

Ramapo College encourages its students to embrace the world beyond through its emphasis on experiential learning that encompasses a rich variety of internships, field placements, community service, study abroad, and cooperative education programs. The College purposefully involves students in the cultural diversity of the world and of American society through global partnerships, active telecommunications networking, and the performing arts. At the core of Ramapo’s mission is the goal of preparing students to become globally literate citizens and professionals in an increasingly interdependent world. Highlights:

• Rosetta Geller, a professor in the Division of Basic Studies, participated in the PT3 Math Forum, a group of math educators who meet monthly to find ways to integrate technology into teaching mathematics. The mathematics covening group and teachers from local high schools are members of this grant-supported endeavor. As part of the program, Geller created a Web page of suggested math sites for students from pre-K to beyond calculus.

• The African Ancestry Month Committee presented “Learn It, Live It, Love It” – African Ancestry Month 2001. The month-long celebration featured an opening banquet and activities including lectures, music, trips, a fashion show, and a closing reception.

• Ramapo’s Cahill Center for Experiential Learning and Career Services continues to offer opportunities that challenge students outside of the classroom. Almost 300 students per year participate in courses with service learning components. Twenty-four participated in the Alternative Spring Break to perform community service and eleven were enrolled in the Student Literacy Corps program. Almost 100 employers and 331 students participated in domestic cooperative education placements. Employing companies included UPS, Samsung, Wyeth Ayerst, and Cablevision, among others. Through the International Cooperative Education program, twenty-two students went abroad to Ireland, Italy, Costa Rica, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Scotland, and the Czech Republic.

• Various Visual Artists (VVA) held a Children’s Art Workshop at the Ramapo College Child Development Center. The children, who range in age from three to six, were asked to paint a portrait or a story of spring. An exhibit of their works, “Early Insights,” was on display at the George T. Potter Library. • The annual Cultural Festival was held at the Robert A. Scott Student Center. A variety of ethnic cuisines were sampled, recipes shared, and performances enjoyed. • Ramapo participated in “Take Your Child To Work Day.” Children of faculty and staff took part in a day full of activities and presentations and experienced first-hand how mom or dad spends the workday.

• Visiting scholars Ruwei Cheng and Ludmilla Smirnova taught international programs. Cheng, from Shanghai Teachers University in China, taught courses in Chinese language, culture and civilization, and Chinese cinema. Smirnova, from the Volgograd State Pedagogical University in Russia, taught literature and Russian.

• Ramapo College sponsored several programs to highlight issues of importance to the Jewish community. In observance of Yom HaShoah—Holocaust Remembrance Day—the Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies hosted a concert/lecture presentation by Jerry Silverman, author of The Undying Flame: Ballads and Songs of the Holocaust in the Adler Theater. The Center also sponsored a trip to the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City. The History Club hosted “The Uses of the Holocaust in Modern Life,” a presentation by author Howard Stein, a professor at the University of Oklahoma.

• Dr. Michael R. Edelstein, a professor in the School of Social Science and Human Services, was a guest faculty member to the CEP-Russia Environmental Policy Institute in St. Petersburg. The program, hosted by Aster, Inc., focused on pedagogy for teaching environmental studies courses. • Dr. William Frech, a professor in the School of Administration and Business, was named a Fulbright Scholar for his expertise on Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is also the first American citizen inducted into “Circle 99,” the Association of Bosnian Intellectuals.

Students who participate in the Alternative Spring Break program in Oaxaca, Mexico learn about the country’s rich folklore. Representing the Community Builders’ Coalition on campus, the students used their Spanish-language skills to teach reading to the children of several families. They helped younger ones with colors and numbers.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Shirelles headline the Ramapo College Foundation’s 2001 Distinguished Citizens Dinner. The annual benefit dinner raised more than $153,000 for student scholarships, College programs, and faculty development opportunities. The Peking Acrobats, a troupe of 26 of China’s most gifted tumblers, contortionists, jugglers, bicyclists, gymnasts, and live musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments, brought their 2,000 year-old tradition of acrobatics to the Sharp Theater. The College celebrates Women’s Herstory Month with several events including a reading by performance poet Staceyann Chin; a lunchtime discussion presented by Dr. Patricia Ard, assistant professor of English, entitled “Slavery in Cuba: Mary Peabody Mann’s Juanita;” and a luncheon honoring Ramapo women.

‘be sharp™’ Ramapo College’s Mahwah neighbor, the Sharp Electronics Corporation, has introduced new lifestyle-enhancing “high-tech/high-style” products by launching an advertising campaign that features the tagline ‘be sharp™.’ The Fortune global 500 corporation, with more than 59,000 employees in Japan and internationally, established its U.S. sales and marketing subsidiary in Mahwah in 1986. From the beginning, Ramapo College could count on Sharp for support of its programs and students. It was one of the first corporations in the region to join the College’s Industrial Associates program, the forerunner of the Business Partners, an association of major companies that provide leadership in support of the campus. Sharp has contributed to numerous programs including student scholarships, study abroad opportunities and research activities. The Sharp Theater located in the Berrie Center was so named because of the corporation’s generous gift that resulted in the creation of a professional quality theater. Sharp also has made a commitment to provide a major gift to the College’s Sports and Recreation Center slated for completion in fall 2003. Sharp’s close involvement with Ramapo College follows its business philosophy outlined by Toshiaki Urushisako, chairman and president. At a recent meeting with Rodney Smith, Ramapo College’s president, Urushisako said, “We do not seek merely to expand our business volume. Rather, we are dedicated to the use of our unique, innovative technology to contribute to the culture, benefits, and welfare of people throughout the world.” Robert Garbutt, Sharp’s vice president for strategic marketing and communications, is a member of the Ramapo College Foundation’s board of governors and has been involved with the College’s planning, building, and expansion for several years. He follows the Sharp Corporation’s business creed, “Sincerity and Creativity.” Garbutt says his work with the College is part of “committing ourselves to these ideals, so that we can derive genuine satisfaction from our work, while making a meaningful contribution to society.” Sharp’s business philosophy melds perfectly with the Ramapo College programs the company supports. For instance, the Alternative Spring Break in Oâxac, Mexico sends students to help build houses and improve communities in some of the hemisphere’s poorest places. The School Time program brings young students from underserved schools to performances in the Sharp Theater. Almost everyone on the Ramapo College campus has been touched in some good way by Sharp’s ideal of harmony, “Trust each other and work together.” n 11

April 2001 The college joins more than 2,000 organizations across the United States and Canada as a local host for the Hospice Foundation of America’s Eighth Annual Living With Grief Teleconference. “Caregiving and Loss: Family Needs, Professional Responses,” a live-via-satellite video teleconference moderated by Cokie Roberts of ABC News, examined how professionals can better understand and respond to the needs of family caregivers. The Sharp Theater hosts “A Dialogue of Nations Through Poetry,” a poetry and peace celebration co-sponsored by the United Nations. The event featured readings, music, and an open mike. Award-winning author Jamaica Kincaid reads from her work and signs copies of her books at the Sharp Theater. The Ramapo College Alumni Association hosts an art auction presented by Ross Galleries to increase its endowed scholarship fund. Two art education students, Justin Muratore of Westwood and Tenley Marshall of Delaware, NJ, joined professors Mack Brandon and Emily Hartzell in a panel presentation at the Computer Art and Design Education Conference (CADE) in Glasgow, Scotland. They discussed ways that Ramapo and neighboring K-12 public schools work together to integrate new technological art media into the fine arts curriculum through a four-year, federallyfunded project called Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers for Technology (PT3). The American Repertory Ballet Company performs Graham Lustig’s modern day version of Cinderella at the Berrie Center. William D. Phillips, a Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology who was awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics, presents a lecture, “Absolute Zero: The Story of Laser Cooling and Trapping,” at the Sharp Theater. Katherine D. Arose is among the first recipients of the Thomas H. Kean Scholarship. Funded by the Garden State Arts Center Foundation and named for former New Jersey Governor Thomas H. Kean, the scholarship is awarded to one student each year at each of the New Jersey colleges and universities who is pursuing an undergraduate degree in the performing arts.

ANNUAL REPORT

Building for the Future – Facilities and Technology As Ramapo continues as the college of choice for a global education, it is imperative that its infrastructure meets the technological demands of a fast-paced “E-world” and provides the optimal learning environment for an increasingly discerning student body. A number of capital improvement campaigns were undertaken to upgrade and build new facilities on campus. Highlights: • Nearly $85 million in capital construction was recently completed or is ongoing. There are twentyone separate projects including renovations to the academic and administrative wings, improvements to the library, and classroom expansion. • The College continued its swift transformation to a predominantly residential campus populated with an increasing number of full-time students. Maple Hall, the newest residence, opened in September 2000. The facility houses 252 students when configured with two students per room and 378 when three students are housed in each. The building was designed with furnishings and voice, video, and data for three students in each room. • A 528-bed apartmentstyle residence facility is

being built near the main parking lots. Students, mostly seniors, will enjoy single bedrooms and cooking facilities as well as a common building to draw the community together.

• The George T. Potter Library added to its collection with eight new online databases. Six reference books on CD-ROM were added to the collection, 6,719 new books were purchased, as were 263 videos.

• The College purchased the Havemeyer House, the renovated historic mansion on Route 202, and the surrounding 4.7 acres of property. The first floor of the house is used to host receptions and the upper floors are for the president’s residence.

• WRPR, 90.3FM, acts as a broadcast training lab serving the campus and surrounding areas. The station airs music, news, sporting events, and talk shows.

Maple Hall opened in September 2000 with housing for 252 students.

More than 60 students are involved with WRPR. The tower/antenna structure was completely replaced, dramatically increasing the clarity and stability of the station’s signal. Under the guidance of a new station manager, Eben Brown, WRPR re-established a full

Sports and Recreation Center: A Centerpiece of Campus Activities In January, the Board of Trustees of Ramapo College received a special presentation on the recommendations contained in a Master Plan Assessment. The viability of master plans developed in 1974 and 1989 were assessed and recommendations made for uncompleted projects and new initiatives such as a sports and recreation facility and new housing for upperclassmen. Ramapo College staff from Facilities, Student Life, and other departments have had continuing input into design recommendations for the Sports and Recreation Center. The Master Plan Assessment considered expanding the facility in a southerly direction. Staff and consultants agree the facility should preserve and even feature the sloped lawn and tree line that are part of the historic estate landscape. The $24.3 million Sports and Recreation Center will consist of three distinct, but

overlapping building components. The entrance to the Student Recreation Area corresponds to the existing entry to the sports center offering access to the pool, lockers, and gymnasium. These facilities will be converted to meet the recreational needs for the general student population. A new glass-enclosed, wedge-shaped atrium links the existing and new construction, affording views and access to a student center space, the pool, and a prominently featured climbing wall. Stairs will lead to a fitness center outfitted with aerobic equipment including treadmills, bicycles, stair steppers, rowing machines, Nordic track, free weights, and other fitness apparatus. There are also dance/aerobic and academic/meeting rooms, which will extend over the Team Sports Area below. The fitness center and a skybox meeting facility take advantage of views of the Ramapo Mountains. The skybox will be used as a hospitality suite and meeting room and will include Hall of Fame displays. The existing gym will become the auxiliary gym. With the installation of synthetic surface courts and wall treatments, the gym will accommodate tennis, volleyball, basketball, and handball. Another feature is a jogging track. In the Student Recreation Area many activities will be offered including foosball, table tennis, billiards, pinball, electronic games, air hockey, and a large-screen television. The Team Sport Area, with its entry related to a new bus pull-off, features team and visitor locker facilities centered on a state-of-the-art training area. Convenient to most public areas of the building, the Team Sport Area is configured to allow for privacy. The Public Event Area, with entry near the main parking lot, comprises an arena and a main event lobby. The lobby, a structural companion to the Student Recreation Atrium, extends along the existing curved entry road. The two largest spaces anchoring the complex include the existing gymnasium and the new arena. The design and bid process for this 90,000 net square feet project will be complete in July 2002 with new construction to be complete during the fall of 2003. After relocations from the existing to new facilities, renovations will continue during the summer and fall of 2003. Full occupancy is scheduled for January 2004. n

May 2001 Dr. Allan E. Goodman, president and chief executive officer of the Institute of International Education, delivers the commencement address and receives an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Congresswoman Marge Roukema, chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity and a member of the House Banking and House Education and Workforce committees, also receives an honorary degree.

The President’s Award of Merit, given at Commencement, is presented to Joshua Orwa Ojodeh, Ramapo Class of 1990, and a Member of Parliament in Kenya. Dr. William J. Frech, associate professor of international business and marketing, is selected to join twenty-four European and American professors to lecture in the first Kosovo Summer University (KSU). Jazz performer, composer, and conductor Chuck Mangione brings his signature flügelhorn to the Sharp Theater as part of the Foundation’s Benefactors Series. Joey Dee and the Starliters headline the opening concert in the Minolta Summer Concert Series. Minolta Corporation sponsors the four-concert series with additional support from Hudson Bank, Commerce Bank North, Friends of Ramapo, and McBride Enterprises. Ramapo College and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) receive approval to jointly offer courses leading to a Master of Science in nursing.

ANNUAL REPORT

Road to the Future – Partners in Progress The Ramapo College Foundation, the Ramapo College Alumni Association, and the Friends of Ramapo College continued to make a difference through scholarship awards, grants, special events, fund-raising, and partnerships with area corporations and the community. Presenting a record number of scholarships and awards; completing Foundation strategic planning in anticipation of the initial phase of a new capital effort; being recognized as a “Gold Winner” for a new family of college publications by Admissions Marketing Report, the national newspaper of admissions marketing; and establishing two new volunteer boards were highlights of the year for the Ramapo College Foundation. The more than $315,000 for 184 named student scholarships and faculty awards presented through the Foundation during the 2000-2001 academic year represents a 198 percent increase in dollars over awards presented five years ago. The Century 21 Construction Study Abroad Endowed Scholarship established by Anthony Marino, president of Century 21 Construction Corporation, was one of several awards available for the first time. Presented to two students, this award ensures that ethnically underrepresented students who attend Ramapo and cannot afford the addi-

tional costs associated with internationally-based education, can pursue coursework overseas and glean benefits of study abroad experiences. Five nursing students received the Walter and Louise Sutcliffe Nursing Scholarships, which also were awarded for the first time. In addition, six nursing students with interests in gerontology, pediatrics, or care of the disabled, received Edward and Stella Van Houten Memorial Scholarships. These funds, which have made a tremendous difference in nursing students’ ability to attend Ramapo and to excel in their studies, are administered by First Union National Bank Charitable Funds Services Group. With funding from the Bernice Barbour Foundation, Ramapo College graduate student Darryl Harris ’00 and Dr. Rena Bacon developed a CD-ROM and interactive Web site. The program detailed the dissection of chicken anatomy for use with biology classes at John F. Kennedy High School in Paterson, NJ, where Harris teaches. This project also effectively advanced the Barbour Foundation’s interest in reducing the number of animals used for dissection.

Chairman Bernard Milano, the annual event raised more than $157,000. Golf Committee members and Chairman Donald Mahoney, raised more than $71,500 at the Foundation’s Annual Golf Outing. SEIKO CORPORATION OF AMERICA provided corporate leadership as a major sponsor of the outing. Proceeds from both events enable the Foundation to award student scholarships, fund faculty development, and support critical College projects. • The Performing Arts Series was launched featuring four performances at the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts. Dinner receptions prior to series performances and dessert with the artists following, were enthusiastically received by the community. CIT Group, Inc. provided major corporate sponsorship for the Series. Board members Joseph Leone and Robert Tillsley co-chaired the benefit series. • The Parents Advisory Council was established with twenty-five parent representatives. Their mission is to provide a means of two-way communication between parents and the College, serve as advisors to College staff, assist the admissions office in attracting qualified students, garner support for the College and the Parents Fund, and plan events. As their first fundraising activity, the Council

Highlights • Thanks to the able leadership of the Foundation’s Distinguished Citizens Dinner Committee and

sponsored a Library Bookplate Program. • More than 600 alumni logged on to www.ramapo.edu to sign up for the Alumni Career Network. Network volunteers served as mentors to students and recent graduates. They also provided internships and co-op experiences for current students. • The Student Alumni Committee initiated a senior gift drive to leave a legacy for future Ramapo students by contributing $20.01, symbolizing their graduation year. • Friends of Ramapo membership continued to increase. Members enjoyed the College’s cultural programs, audited classes, and used the pool, tennis courts, and library. The Friends monthly calendar was mailed to over 600 area families. • $43,900 was pledged by 1,256 alumni during the annual Alumni Phonathon. First time donors increased by 26 percent over the previous year. • More than $87,800 was raised through the Ramapo College Annual Fund, an increase of 28 percent over the previous year. • There was a 20 percent increase over the previous year in the total number of donors to the Foundation’s fund-raising programs. Faculty contributions and giving from parents dramatically increased over the previous year. n

Student Scholars: Motivated and Appreciative Yanivis Fragozo Yanivis Fragozo is the recipient of an Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship. Created with gifts from former Ramapo students, every year a freshman in each of Ramapo’s five schools is awarded an Alumni Scholarship. “Without it,” Fragozo says, “ I would have had to go to school parttime and take out loans.” The sophomore plans to major in American and International Studies. Ramapo was Fragozo’s first choice of college. She participated in Immediate Decision Day and, she says, “Once I knew I had been accepted, I didn’t apply anywhere else.” As a freshman she participated in a service learning project sponsored by the Cahill Center and worked on the campaign to elect Congressman William Pascrell, Jr. Fragozo aspires to attend law school, a career choice influenced by her father. “Before my father came to this country from Columbia, he studied law, but he didn’t finish.” She is interested in business law and is employed by a lawyer. Fragozo adds, “I want to give back to Ramapo for helping me.”

John Lynch John Lynch spent three years in India and for more than two volunteered at the Home for the Destitute and Dying in Calcutta. He earned a degree in philosophy and art history from Rutgers University and, after his experiences in India, decided to pursue a nursing degree. He chose Ramapo because those who hold a four-year degree may complete the requirements of another in two years. He is the recipient of the Edward and Stella Van Houten Memorial Scholarship administered by First Union Charitable Trust Group, which recognizes students in the College’s nursing program. Scholarship recipients are committed to the practice of nursing, especially geriatrics, pediatrics, or care of the disabled. “If I had to work, I couldn’t maintain a 4.0 GPA and I wouldn’t get as much from the program,” he says. “Nursing is more than treating wounds or diseases. It provides an opportunity to help comfort and care for people when they most need it.” After earning a B.S.N., Lynch hopes to pursue an advanced degree in nursing.

Tacquice Wiggan At Clara Barton High School in the Bronx, New York, Tacquice Wiggan participated in a program called Global Kids, which educates youth on world issues. There, she learned of Ramapo College. Wiggan visited the campus and applied for admission. She was offered a BD (formerly Becton Dickinson) scholarship, which awards recipients full tuition scholarships. The BD Scholars program ensures that high-achieving minority students from underserved areas can achieve a college education at Ramapo. “Ramapo offered me a full scholarship,” Wiggan notes. “Other colleges I applied to offered partial scholarships. I felt comfortable in the environment; it was very welcoming.” The sophomore has declared psychology as her major and maintains a 3.5 GPA. She chose psychology to satisfy her fascination with the way in which people interact. She is a resident assistant, a student ambassador, a recruiter for the student council, and active in Ebony Women for Social Change. Combining knowledge gained from her major and her minor, Women’s Studies, Wiggan plans to attend graduate school to explore the way in which people, particularly in the eighteen to thirty age group, interact with each other.
