March 20, 2014
Students chosen for statewide awards Four SCCC students were recently chosen from among nominees from institutions across New York state for prestigious awards. They will be recognized at events in Albany next month. Sara Pierce and Deborah Todd were named to the All-USA Community College Academic Team. Sara was named to the first academic team and Deborah to the second. They were chosen based on the following criteria: academic excellence and intellectual rigor, leadership and service Sara is a Liberal Arts: Humanities and Social Sciences major with a 4.0 grade point average. She plans to transfer to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and become a teacher. Sara’s passion for working with children blossomed after volunteering at her local library in the summer reading program, ultimately being hired by the library because of her outstanding contributions while leading children in activities and reading to them. She has also spent three summers as a Junior Staff Member at Camp Pattersonville children’s camp and she currently teaches a monthly class for young children at her church. Sara has been a member of the Spanish Club and Phi Theta Kappa and is a scholarship recipient. Deborah has always looked for ways to help others, whether it was collecting and sorting food donations at the Galway Food Pantry or assisting students as a substitute teacher in the Galway Central School District. As part of a course in the Chemical Dependency Counseling major, Deborah and her classmates transformed an unorganized facility, part of a local community church, into a freshly painted and orderly area with racks and shelves of donated clothes for those in need. She is a single mother of three adult children and remains very active in their lives. While working, going to school and volunteering, Deborah maintains at 3.92 grade point average. She already holds a B.A. degree in biology and chemistry from Potsdam State University and plans to obtain her master’s degree and pursue her career goal of becoming a Substance Abuse Counselor.
Thomas Dalton Bambury and Elisabeth Smith earned the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence given to students who have integrated academic excellence with other aspects of their lives. Thomas, who is majoring in both Chemical Dependency Counseling and Human Services, is in his second term as the College’s Student Trustee. He has been an energetic member of several College committees, including the ADA Transition Services Advisory Committee and Pilot Program Committee for the College Success Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Thomas has also served as the Secretary on the Executive Board of the Faculty Student Association and was chosen to represent SCCC at the SUNY Student Assembly for two years, receiving certificates in leadership, diversity, and professional development. He has been named to the President’s and Dean’s Lists and received various scholarships. In addition, Thomas has been a community volunteer and advocate with the City Mission of Schenectady, the AIDS Walk, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and local theater troupes. Elisabeth is a Teacher Education Transfer major and has a long list of campus activities. After being named to the President’s and Dean’s List at the College, Beth was inducted into the College’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) International Honor Society. The following year she became a PTK officer, helping to develop induction ceremonies. She has demonstrated strong leadership skills as the Vice President of the Student Government Association and Secretary of the Education Club. Upon the recommendation of an SCCC staff member, Beth was a member of the Faculty Student Association Board of Directors and the Community and Cultural Events Committee, sharing her perspective with faculty and staff on both committees.

Faculty/Staff Development Robyn King was presented with the Minorities in Criminal Justice, Inc. Woman of Character, Courage and Commitment Award at their annual conference held at SCCC earlier this month. Robyn received the award in recognition of her dedication to empowering individuals and strengthening the community, specifically for her work addressing the topic of bullying and crusading for interpersonal civility. The SCCC Foundation recently received a $2,500 Community Arts Grant from the Arts Center of the Capital Region. The grant will be used to support an upcoming performance by the Empire Jazz Orchestra.
HPOG Partners – Matt Grattan, Executive Director of Workforce Development, Tiziana Rota, Grant Administrator/Fiscal Manager, Robert Burke, Program Coordinator – Schenectady County, Chari Jones, Director of Employment Services for the Schenectady Community Action Program, Chrissie Classen, Program Coordinator – Albany County, and Neenah Bland, Acting Executive Director for the Albany Community Action Partnership.
Health care education program to receive chamber “Good News Award” On exhibit – Works by Stephen Tyson (pictured above), who teaches art at the College, are included in the Roots & Rhythms 2014 exhibit in the Shelnutt Gallery at RPI. His work is on exhibit through April 10.
Congratulations to the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) program, which was selected to receive a 2014 Schenectady County’s Good News Award.
Artistically, Stephen is noted for his colorful “dot” paintings, and his geometric and brilliantly colorful abstractions on paper and shaped wood panels. The inspiration for his current body of work comes through a recent discovery that part of his family's genetic link to Africa is to a group called the Kassena, located in southern Burkina Faso in an area bordering Ghana. The Kassena are most noted for their beautiful surface pattern designs created on their adobe style dwellings. In addition, his new work is also influenced by the Dazzle camouflage designs that were once applied to British warships during WWI.
The program, which offers classes in Certified Nurse Aide, Home Health Aide and Personal Care Aide, was chosen by the Chamber of Schenectady County for being a “true success story.”
Stephen holds a B.F.A. from Manhattanville College, and an M.F.A. from the City College of New York. In addition to SCCC, he has taught and lectured at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, University at Albany, Union College and Siena College.

HPOG representatives will receive the award during the Chamber’s Good News Luncheon next month. Charles P. Steiner, President and CEO of the Chamber, praised the program. “We’re pleased to recognize the Health Profession Opportunity Grants at Schenectady County Community College,” Steiner said. “Workforce development – especially in the field of healthcare – is strongly needed to promote the wellness and growth of our region. Providing low-income individuals with the opportunity to further their education strengthens our economy and our community.”
A Conversation with SCCC’s new Acting President Martha Asselin, Ph.D., assumed her new role as Acting President earlier this month, following approval by the SUNY Board of Trustees. She is the first woman to hold the top leadership position at SCCC. Dr. Asselin has worked in the Student Affairs area at SCCC for 24 years. She was first hired in 1990 as the Director of Student Activities. She was later promoted to Coordinator for Student Development Services, followed by appointments as the Associate Dean for Student Services and Dean of Student Affairs. Most recently she was Vice President of Student Affairs.
you are working in and the institution you work for, then the days go by quickly. Sometimes too quickly. I have seen many major changes at the College and each one is so exciting. The first major change I was privileged to be a part of was in the early 1990s when the “rose garden” evolved into what is now our three-story-high Student Center/Commons and classroom space. To see such a magnificent construction project unfold early on in my tenure, I knew for sure the campus was destined for a wonderful future. Seeing the “Tempo Building” (a temporary trailer that was used for Financial Aid and Admissions) be removed from campus about 10 years past its prime to make room for our Stockade Building was also monumental. We just continued to expand and to increase enrollment. We were recognized as one of the top “fastest growing community colleges” in our nation. And now, to be a part of an institution that has grand connections in downtown Schenectady and at three sites in Albany is truly amazing. We are alive and vibrant. It all is exciting.
Dr. Asselin holds both a Ph.D. and a master’s degree in Educational Administration and Policy Studies with a Higher Education focus from the University at Albany. She earned her B.S. in Psychology and Sociology from SUNY Oswego. She is a graduate of Schalmont High School and is a graduate of SUNY’s Executive Leadership Institute and Training.
SCCC will be celebrating 45 years of service and commitment to our students and community in Fall 2014. Knowing I have been a part of this amazing history for 24 years makes me really proud. We have done, and continue to do, incredible work at SCCC.
Among her other accolades, Dr. Asselin received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Professional Service. She has positively impacted the lives of hundreds of SCCC students and her commitment to shaping lives through education extends to high school students as she was responsible for successfully writing a grant that resulted in the Smart Scholars Early College High School program for Schenectady High School students.
A. I am deeply honored to have this incredible opportunity. I am fully committed to SCCC, to the wonderful people who make this institution all that it is and all that it will become, and, most importantly, to our students who have, do and will experience our dynamic learning community.
Well-known in the community, Dr. Asselin currently serves on the State Education Advisory Board for Smart Scholars ECHS and the School Board for Notre Dame – Bishop Gibbons High School. A conversation with Dr. Asselin by Chris Del Vecchio of the Admissions Office Q. You have been with the College through many initiatives and changes; what is the most exciting initiative that you have been a part of?
Q. As the Acting President, what is your vision for the College?
I love SCCC. The campus community is family to me. I have the wonderful opportunity to lead our institution through collaborative partnerships while designing new and innovative approaches for fulfillment of our institutional vision. The current vision statement reads: “Schenectady County Community College is committed to being a premier community college that empowers individuals to reach their greatest potential through exceptional and innovative education and training.” In doing so, we can further open access into higher learning and address the workforce needs of our surrounding communities. (continued on page 6)
A. I have been at SCCC for 24 years; some may think that is a long time – though for me it seems short and fast. When you love the job you do, the people you work with, the community
Vanguard Award - Congratulations to Henry Temoshok one of just eight students out of 49 nominees from across the state selected to receive the Vanguard Award. The Nontraditional Employment and Training Program (NET) at the Center for Women in Government and Civil Society – University at Albany chose Henry for the award which recognizes outstanding secondary and postsecondary level students who are enrolled in programs that prepare them for careers that are not traditional for their gender. Dr. Syeda Munaim, Professor of Biology and Anatomy/Physiology in the Division of Math, Science, Technology, and Health, nominated Henry, a Nutrition major, for this honor. “Henry is one of those quiet students who is not only highly intelligent, extremely capable, very confident and a solid young man but who has a complete understanding and awareness of his surroundings at all times even at his very young age,” she said.

Catch this opera singer on the rise at SCCC next week
Child’s Play: The Fight to Free Children from Gender Stereotypes in the 1970s
Ava Wing has been singing since the age of 5 and will follow her voice “wherever in the world” it takes her after graduating from Purchase College this spring. Eventually she’s hoping that path leads to the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
Friday, April 11 12 p.m. Stockade Building, Room 102 Dr. Laura Lovett, Associate Professor, Department of History, University of Massachusetts
If her past performances are any indication, she’s on her way to achieving her goal of singing on the Met Stage in 12 years (the amount of time she estimates it will take her to build her career, perform in Europe and be established as a seasoned performer). Lucky for the SCCC community, Ava is making her way back to SCCC next week, performing in the Taylor Auditorium on Wednesday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. She’ll be singing the works of Mozart, Debussy, Rachmaninoff and Schubert, accompanied by Instructor Mark Evans on piano and Professor Brett Wery on clarinet for one song. Ava made her operatic debut as Gretel in Hänsel und Gretel at Purchase College. She has sung the roles of Rosalinda in Die Fledermaus, understudied the title role in Massenet’s Cendrillon and is looking forward to performing Tytania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream this spring.
Children were a significant part of the U.S. Women’s Movement. From the first issue of Ms. magazine to protests at toy manufacturers, the stories we tell children and the toys they play with became objects of activism in the 1970s. In this presentation, Dr. Lovett will explain how and why children and early childhood education became an important site for feminist action and the fight against stereotypes of gender, race, and ability.
Her performance at SCCC is free.
IMPORTANT registration dates Online Registration for Summer and Fall 2014 credit classes begins March 26 for current students (in-person begins April 1), April 7 for newly accepted (matriculated) students, and April 16 for returning students and everyone else.

Sweets for the students – Pane e Dolce by Muse en Lystrala, Performing Arts: Music major All too frequently when our school bakery Pane e Dolci is discussed the response is, “We have a bakery?” Pane e Dolci, run by the School of Hotel, Culinary Arts and Tourism, is well worth our attention (and not least because of its delicious pastries). Pane, located in the Culinary Arts Wing in Elston Hall, offers a variety of goods ranging from savory to sweet – tarts, cookies, brownies, cakes, croissants stuffed with cheeses and deli meats, and other delicious tidbits from that day’s baking. “Isn’t it expensive?” is also frequently overheard. The short answer, “no.” Pane offers all its goods at excellent prices, and during the months that the bakery is open, some students and
staff foray to the bakery for a finger-food lunch instead of heading to the cafeteria. “It started as an outlet for the goods,” said Lois Keefrider, Educational Aide and one of the friendly faces greeting you in Pane. “Everything that came out of the Commercial Baking classes they used to just sell in the hallway. Now we have this.” Baked goods come to Pane from not only the Commercial Baking class, but the American and International Baking classes as well as the Cake Decorating class – and onto our plates. If you haven’t visited Pane e Dolci yet, make sure to pay them a visit Tuesday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Excellence in criminal justice - Donna Foster, Criminal Justice major (pictured above), has a special message for Dr. Douglas Lohnas, Interim Dean of the Division of Business, Criminal Justice and Law, as well as Criminal Justice Professors Harry Buffardi and Gary Perkins. “I would like to thank them for encouraging me and being available for advisement when needed,” she said. Donna was chosen as the recipient of the The New York State Sheriff’s Association Institute, Inc. scholarship. The institute presents a $250 scholarship to one student from each community college in New York State to assist with the financial burdens associated with higher education. She was selected for the award based on her outstanding academic achievement and goals for the future. Donna has a 3.25 gpa and is a member of the Criminal Justice Club. After graduating from SCCC, she plans to transfer to a four-year college to pursue a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. She would then like to become a parole office to help those coming out of incarceration to reintegrate into society. She is pictured with Schenectady County Sheriff Dominic A. Dagostino and Dr. Lohnas.

Art exhibit to honor longtime student Mary Greco was a gentle soul who had a passion for art. She took several classes wtih adjunct Stephen Tyson and now he and his students are honoring her memory with an upcoming exhibit. The College community and members of the public are invited to attend an opening reception on Thursday, April 10 at 4:30 p.m. in the Lally Mohawk Room. Several of Mary’s works, including landscapes, self-portraits and patterns will be on display, as will pieces by students in Stephen’s class and Ralph Caparulo’s classes. The exhibit runs through May.
A conversation with SCCC’s new Acting President (continued from Page 3.) Our campus is in an excellent position. We have celebrated several years of increased enrollment, expansion of academic programs and facilities, established new campus sites in downtown Schenectady and downtown Albany, and have the best teaching faculty and staff. Our students energize me. We are in the midst of much positive momentum and I am looking forward to keeping that momentum going forward and growing stronger. This is a wonderful time for SCCC and I am truly blessed to be serving the institution in this capacity during this period. In addition, I am proud to be the first female acting president in the history of the College. It is truly my greatest honor to dedicate my service to the students, the faculty and staff, and to the community at large. Q. As a veteran member of the Faculty/Staff you know that SCCC has strong ties to our community. As Acting President, what are your plans to keep the College’s strong connection to our community as well as promote new community relationships? A. What makes SCCC strong is our community. Community colleges are designed to be institutions that are flexible and adaptable to the needs of the communities around them. We need to keep all channels of communication open so as to understand the gifts SCCC can bring to our community to address ever-changing needs for workforce development, education and training. Together we work to strengthen collaborative partnerships and cooperative relationships. As corny as it may sound, community is our middle name and we hold true to that in all we do. Q. SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher has announced many new initiatives for both SUNY Community Colleges, four-year institutions, and University Centers. Her initiatives include Open SUNY, SUNY Smart-Track, and seamless transfers, to name a few. What are your plans to ensure SCCC remains on the forefront of these initiatives and to help our campus achieve the Chancellor’s goal of “systemness?” A. In January 2012, The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government at the State University of New York at Albany published an explanation of Zimpher's application of the term to the SUNY system:

Dinner and a movie sounds nice - Samuel Barth, Business Administration major, won the scholarship prize dinner and movie gift card by submitting his application before Feb. 28. It’s not too late to apply for scholarships. Visit http://www.sunysccc.edu/scholarships for more information. (See more information on front page.)
“Acting alone, each of our 64 campuses can and has made great achievements. But think of what can be accomplished when we leverage all of our individual strengths and act as one formidable force armed with an ambitious yet disciplined set of goals that promise to create not just a stronger public university system but also a better way of life for all of New York.” Simply put, “systemness” is a term used to highlight the value of all 64 campuses within the entire State University of New York. Individual campuses bring forth unique qualities and gifts that make the collective package grander for all. Working together brings greater possibilities and unleashes amazing potential. I see my role as Acting President as supporting this vision of SUNY “systemness” through cost-saving approaches that increase access and product (such as increased graduates, economic development, new jobs and opportunities, etc.). SCCC cannot do it all alone; we must be strong partners making a greater impact on the future for all. In August 2012, I was blessed with an opportunity to participate in a weeklong SUNY Leadership Development Program. The work we did at this training was done collaboratively and with a commitment to further assist SUNY in its systemness. As a leadership group, we viewed systemness as guided by the following five principles which, in part, owe themselves to Collins and Hanson (2011): vision, discipline, empirical creativity, risk taking and return on luck. The training provided me with a deeper understanding – an understanding that I will carry with me as I serve our institution as Acting President. Q. Lastly, as someone who has pursued higher education at the baccalaureate level, graduate level, and doctoral level, what is your advice to our students in regard to achieving their educational and career goals? A. Never forget that education is an ongoing process. We are always learning. I truly view learning as “any time, anywhere and for anyone.” I encourage all to obtain advanced education. Know when you are ready to leap into your higher education experience and rise to the occasion. There is no better time than the present. Education opens new opportunities for individuals, for communities, and for our nation. Education is the best defense against poverty, crime, racism and other such evils. When one person completes his or her degree, our community comes that much closer to building a kinder world.
“Think green” isn’t just an idea by Muse en Lystrala, Performing Arts: Music major Everyone’s heard the expressions “think green” or “go green.” But what does that really mean? What does it mean to you? And what does it mean in terms of opportunity and career advancement for SCCC students? Green energy is a rapidly evolving field of study and employment. Every day we pass solar panels on the roofs of houses and buildings, and even on road poles to power traffic lights and signals. We see wind turbines creating energy for large power plants, schools, and manufacturers. We occasionally see water turbines for hydropower, and towers that draw on the earth for geothermal energy. Green energy is regularly hailed as a critical factor for the survival of homo sapiens, if for no other reason than that we’re running out of fossil fuels and rare earths to generate the energy we need to function as a society. New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation has enthusiastically jumped onto the green energy initiative, and green energy sources – solar, wind, hydro, tidal, and geothermal – now provide more than 1/10 of the state’s energy resources. The amount of energy generated by green energy resources is steadily gaining ground against fossil fuels as energy sources. This gain means that there are more jobs than ever in the energy sector, with new ones being created all the time – and students majoring in Alternative Energy Technology, Nanoscale Materials Technology, and Storage Battery Technology are poised to gain a great number of those jobs upon graduation. Assistant Professor Dr. Fu Luo, of the Division of Math, Science, Technology and Health, said that there is room for a variety of skills and backgrounds in the green energy industry. “I was a professional engineer in the field of semiconductor devices,” he said. “My educational background, physics and nanoscience and engineering, certainly helps

me to work in and innovate in the industry.” SCCC was an early player to jumpstarting programs related to the green and alternative energy industry as well, Dr. Luo said. As a result, many graduates are out in the field, developing and assisting green energy devices, programs, and experimentation. “Job opportunities for our students include storage battery, fuel cell, wind energy, solar energy and semiconductor industry.” Green energy isn’t just getting its foothold in the U.S.; nations around the world are even closer to making renewable energy forms 100 percent of their power production resources. “Globally, green energy is getting its momentum,” according to Dr. Luo. “Solar panels are being installed at a speed never seen before. In the U.S., development and research for new electrical energy storage technology has been put on the agenda. High-capacity storage battery technology has to move faster in order to meet the demand from the green-car industry.” With green energy on the rise, the ordinary citizen can also take part in green energy education and adoption.
