Student helps to build hope Working nine-hour days in the blazing sun in a South Carolina town was Samuel Clement’s idea of fun this summer. For the fourth consecutive year, Samuel, a Culinary Arts major, put his heart and soul into roofing, sheet rocking, painting and flooring as part of a team of college students who headed down south through Habitat for Humanity. For the past three years, he’s led his own team of college students and family members, building and rebuilding for those in need.

New programs this fall This fall, SCCC has introduced five new academic programs and one that has been revamped. Students are now taking classes in the Casino and Gaming Management and Supply Chain Management A.A.S. degree programs. The new Drama Concentration and Honors Concentration are part of the Liberal Arts A.A. degree, while the Biology Concentration is part of the Science A.S. degree. The Music Business program has been redesigned to incorporate a focus on audio recording with the addition of the Vianna-Brignola Recording Studio in the School of Music, which opened last fall.
This year, Samuel, age 21, was joined by three of his brothers, Simon, 27, Andrew, 22 and Noah, 18, and 15 college students. They renovated a home for a family, built a deck at a women’s shelter and moved more than 3 tons of dirt to prepare a foundation for further construction of another house. Their trip was sponsored by College Suites, the student housing group where Samuel works as a Community Manager. This is the first year that the trip has been sponsored. In the past, Samuel and other team members would hold fundraisers to pay for travel arrangements and other costs associated with the project. He described the past four summers as “awesome.” “All I have to do is provide one week of my time and I can help this person get this house,” he said. “It’s a real chance to give something to someone.”

In Your Ear by Muse en Lystrala, Music Personally, I like listening to trip hop in the morning, metal in the afternoon, and cello sonatas in the evening, but SCCC’s campus is a hotbed of varying tastes in music. Some of the students on campus shared their favorite bands with me.
Malcolm Toffolo Liberal Arts The Evens – they’re indie rock. The lead singer/guitarist is the former guitarist from Fugazi. It’s interesting to hear one of the grandfathers of punk rock delve into a more melodic atmosphere.
Philip Henry Computer Information Systems
Drake Rudolph Music Certificate and Biology
Rosetta Dukharan Paralegal/Human Services
I really like Papa Roach – they play rock and nu metal. The beat’s nice, the lyrics are understandable, and they have lots of songs that go with my mood.
I like a capella music, especially Peter Hollens. Basically he does 13-part a capella, usually popular music. I listen to Lindsey Stirling, too (violin/dubstep).
It’s hard to choose, but I really love Nerfherder. It’s weird alternative rap – nerdcore. It’s simple, tells a story, they’re educated, and it’s straight from the heart. Sometimes they’re funny.

Crab and Corn Chowder Tarts
Summer retirement
Recipe by Debi Cota, Culinary Arts/Nutrition, Slow Food Club Secretary
Congratulations to Kathy LaFreniere who retired from SCCC in July 2013.
This is a recipe I created this summer. I was trying to utilize the corn, celery and onions from my garden. We purchased our crab from the local farmers market along with the milk. Ingredients: 1 lb. lump crab meat 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen) 1 cup celery 1 cup onion 2-3 cups whole milk 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup butter
For 27 years Kathy was a member of CSEA, having worked in the Schenectady County Purchasing Office, Glendale Nursing Home, and at the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles prior to SCCC.
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese 3 TBS cayenne 1 TBS salt
Outside of work, Kathy’s passion for flowers and gardening led her to earn a certificate in floral design from the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston. She is enjoying spending more time in her garden now that she’s retired.
1 TBS pepper 2 tsp allspice 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp nutmeg Philo dough sheets or egg roll wrappers Bread crumbs to top Preheat oven to 350. Begin by lining a muffin pan with the philo dough or wrappers, criss cross them so there are two in each opening. Finely dice the onions and celery. Place butter in a sauce pan and melt, add flour to make a roux. Slowly add milk to incorporate and thicken slightly. Add cheese and seasoning. Continue cooking until all ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Add corn, celery, onions and lastly the crab meat. Stir until all ingredients are well coated. Fill the lined muffin tins 3/4 of the way full. Top lightly with bread crumbs or cheese. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until set. The Slow Food Club at SCCC “works to define good, clean, fair food which helps build community and celebrates culture and regional diversity by promoting sustainability through grassroots efforts that have a positive impact on our ecosystems.” The group meets Mondays from 11:45 a.m. 12:45 p.m. in Elston 100. All students are welcome.
Debi Cota, secretary of the Slow Food Club, prepares and serves soup at the Schenectady Greenmarket last year.

Kathy joined the College in July 2003 as an Account Clerk in the Accounts Receivable Office. She was responsible for handling federal cash including Pell grants, loans and work study funding. She also kept track of incoming receipts and outgoing warrants and filed bank deposits. During an interview over the summer, Kathy mentioned that math has always been her strong suit. “I just don’t make mistakes with math,” she said.
As for other plans, Kathy would like to possibly become a master gardener through Cornell Cooperative Extension. She would also like to cross three things off of her bucket list: to attend the Pasadena Rose Bowl Parade in California and to take trips to Hawaii and Ireland.
Internships for students with disabilities Finding a job after college can be daunting. Add to that a disability and it can lead some students to feel like no matter what, employers will not give them the opportunity to show what they have to offer. SCCC helps to break down some of these barriers by taking part in the Federal Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) for students with disabilities. Internships will take place during Summer 2014. Through this program, several SCCC students have gained valuable paid internship experience with the National Guard Yellow Ribbon Program, Fort Drum, National Credit Union Association, and the Albany VA Hospital, with some getting permanent employment after their internships. If you are a student with a disability, contact Dawn Jones, Non Traditional Career Advisor, at 381-1334 or stop by the Opportunity Zone in Elston Hall Room 221-I. Applications for the internships are due by Wednesday, Oct. 16. Interviews for summer 2014 internships will be taking place soon.
