These lists of degree and Certificate of Advanced Study recipients are tentative only. The appearance of a name in this program should not be construed as an indication that the person has received a degree from The College of Saint Rose. Conversely, the absence of a student’s name herein does not necessarily mean that the person has not been awarded a degree. The student’s transcript is the official record of the College.
“She is a combination of gentle and strong,” said Professor David DeBonis ’79, an audiologist in the program who is a former student and close friend of Sister Char. “She is a true humanist; her spirituality shapes her life. She also knows how to use her gentleness.” Charleen Marie Bloom was born in Albany. She came to Saint Rose to study education and soon became inspired by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet (CSJ.) After deep reflection, she left the College following her sophomore year to enter the CSJ community. After taking her vows, Sister Char completed her undergraduate degree at Saint Rose. She earned advanced degrees in communication disorders; a Master’s from The Catholic University in 1967, and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1970. She returned to Saint Rose to establish the undergraduate communication sciences and disorders program and expand the graduate component, while also helping secure state and national certifications. Sister Char’s workshops on stuttering have become a national model.
“She is a combination of gentle and strong.”
She is the author of two books and numerous articles and book chapters. She has presented at conferences worldwide and is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.

Among her many honors, she was named among the Capital Region Chamber’s Women of Excellence in 2011. Sister Char has never stopped learning. Today, she is engaged in research on the cognitive wellness of members of the Sisters of Saint Joseph as they age. Even as she helped move the Saint Rose program into national prominence, she felt she needed to learn more about the clients and families she worked with. So she earned a Master of Social Work at

DeBonis said that at that time, people who worked in the field of communications sciences and disorders were not seen as counselors. Sister Char thought otherwise, explaining that having students

influenced specialists in the field to look beyond the disorder to the individual. Under Sister Char’s leadership, the College also has grown into an important center for learning about, and treating, these impairments. She established the nationally renowned five-year Saint Rose program in communication sciences and disorders and led it for 20 years. As a result, scores of graduates go on to serve those in need as speech and language pathologists and audiologists.

This played out in the so-called BALCO case, the story two San Francisco Chronicle reporters broke in 2004 of widespread steroid use among star baseball players. Federal subpoenas were issued to force the reporters to name their confidential sources. The pair faced 18 months in jail. Burton and her team fought to have the subpoenas withdrawn. The writers ultimately continued their work and never revealed their sources. In 2006, Burton won a case that gave Albany’s Times Union the green light to continue its probe into corruption among top state officials. She successfully argued in New York State Supreme Court that the newspaper had a right to the records showing how the officials had spent taxpayer money. Burton is a member of Hearst’s Venture Committee, which funds digital initiatives, and is a leader of HearstLab, which supports early-stage businesses led by women. She is ever-aware of the need to mentor women in the law. As a panelist during the 2016 William Randolph Hearst Lecture at Saint Rose, for example, she brought along a group of women lawyers who work with her at Hearst. Burton joined the company in 2002 and was appointed to the Hearst Board of Directors in 2013. Previously, she served as vice president and chief legal counsel at CNN, overseeing legal matters related to news and other programming. From 1995 to 2000, she was deputy general counsel at the New York Daily News, where she won 19 of 20 pending libel lawsuits. Burton began her career

As general counsel at Hearst, Burton manages the office that provides legal services to the company’s more than 360 businesses around the world. These include newspapers and magazines, cable and local broadcast television outlets, emerging digital media, business information platforms, and real estate holdings. At Hearst, and earlier, as counsel at Cable News Network (CNN) and the New York Daily News, Burton has carved out a reputation for supporting journalism on the front lines. Hearst Executive Vice Chairman and Former CEO Frank A. Bennack Jr. has noted that she has often enabled reporters and editors to be brave by providing the legal standing they need to pursue their stories. “They say that behind every good reporter is a good editor. I think that’s true, but there’s something you don’t hear: Behind every good editor is a good lawyer, and I think it’s important that you know that we’re lucky to have one of the best,” Bennack said in 2016, when Burton won a Lifetime First Amendment Award from the Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press. Within the company, Burton is known as a “subpoena quasher” for the many times she has knocked down barriers to reporters getting at the truth.

The Carondelet Medal
The J. Spencer and Patricia Hunter Standish ’50, G’57 Endowed Chair in English
The medal is designed as an award for an individual who, through working in the community, has enabled others to move toward a fuller development of their personhood. Thus is the larger human family nourished. The recipient has given evidence of commitment to a constant striving for excellence, as well as to equal access to education, as seen in the College’s early role in the education of women. In addition, the recipient is one committed to the Saint Rose tradition of the liberal arts, understood here as education of the whole person, and to those moral and religious values that are consistent with Judeo-Christian tradition. Finally, in conferring this medal, The College of Saint Rose recognizes the individual for exceptional contributions to education, which, in the broadest sense of the word, is the passing on to others that which one has received.
J. Spencer and Patricia Hunter Standish ’50, G’57 contributed funds for the establishment of an Endowed Chair in English, as English (medieval) literature was Patricia’s undergraduate and graduate major at Saint Rose. This chair honors Patricia’s lifelong commitment to the study and teaching of literature and to the continuing values of English studies in the 21st Century. The J. Spencer and Patricia Hunter Standish ’50, G’57 Endowed Chair in English honors the accomplishment of an English faculty member demonstrating exceptional scholarship through a research project designed to enhance the learning experience of students in the English Department. The recipient is recommended by a committee of English faculty with the final selection by the Provost and the President.
