From the President
The Power of Impact.

Impact. Noun or verb, the essence of this word is the sameit is the powerful or dramatic force or effect that something or somebody has on something or someone else.
It is a word I often hear when colleagues describe why the quality of the experiencewhat happens in the classroom, in the eld, or on the eldmatters. There is nothing passive about impact. You might have little effect, but you can never have little impact. It is all about power and action, outcomes and results. Impact: precisely the right word to describe the effect that Hartwick teaching has on student learning; exactly the right word to describe the effect that philanthropy has on learning and learners; just the right word to describe the effect Hartwick learning has on a lifetime of accomplishment. The circle of contemporary education stakeholderseducators, students, families, accrediting bodies, the legislative and executive branches of governmentcontinues to grow and to increase their demand for accountability. This demand has, predictably, led to efforts to measure the outcomes associated with student learning, and to the development of methods designed to prove that a student has learned and, more specically, has learned what was intended. We can measure these types of outcomes, and we do. However, after participating in various efforts to assess learning outcomes, I have drawn this conclusion: You can only measure the true impact of a great liberal arts education years after that milestone moment of Commencement. A great liberal arts educationa Hartwick educationprepares you to navigate a lifetime of unexpected professional challenges, years after the last paper or performance has been graded. This truth is evidenced by the remarkable careers of Ambassador George Bruno 64 and Dr. Gilbert Smith 59. Early impact can be seen in the accomplishments of the Freedman Prize winners, the Duffy Family Ambassador Scholarship winners, and the Emerson International Internship Scholarship awardees. Friends Judy and Allen H 00 Freedman, alumni parents Anne and John H 00 Duffy, alumni Stephanie 84 and David 83 Long, forward-thinking Kellogg Society members, and generous endowed scholarship donors make these experiences, and others, possible. These supporters and others have a real and far-reaching impact on Hartwick and our students, now and well into the future. Want proof that great learning happens at Hartwick? That lasting benets come from this beginning? Measure for yourself the outcomes in this edition of The Wick against a short and potent index: impact. Best,

Hartwick Celebrates the Class of 2011

Commencement 2011 ofcially conveyed 321 graduates into the ranks of Hartwick alumni. Now you leave Hartwick an educated woman, an educated man, President Margaret L. Drugovich told the Class of 2011. You may have traveled across the world. You may have done a remarkable thing or two. You have probably learned more than you expected, and perhaps even more than you thought possible. It is my hope that what you have learned best is how to learn from others. Dr. Gilbert Smith 59, the head senior investigator of mammary stem cell biology at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD, delivered the Commencement address. He told the class of 2011 to question everything. It is important never to completely accept or reject what you may hear, see or feel, he said. Listen carefully to those who hold you in high esteem and also to those who disparage you, because in this way you will come to know both your strengths and your shortcomings. Commencement 2011 featured the rst graduates of the Colleges acclaimed ThreeYear Bachelors Degree Program: Shane K. Abrams (English), Kristel A. Chu Yan Fui (Accounting), Allison Godfrey (Nursing), Daniel C. Meier (Biology) and Rebecca A. Patick (English). Several events celebrating the accomplishment of the Class of 2011 were held prior to Commencement: the Nurse Pinning Ceremony, the Presidents Senior Farewell Dinner at Thornwood, Baccalaureate at Foothills Performing Arts Center in downton Oneonta, and the 1 To Go reception in Stack Lounge.

Nurses Advance Knowledge

Demand for Hartwicks Nursing program is high, students say, because of opportunities to work closely with experienced faculty, to do eld work early and often, and to consider and conduct advanced research. Nursing is Hartwicks No.1 major in terms of graduating seniors, and the Class of 2011 is ready to join the Nursing alumni practicing in 45 states and ve countries.
The Senior Thesis is considered the culmination of a Hartwick education. It is an intellectual process that brings each student opportunities to evaluate issues, pose a challenging question, pursue a line of inquiry, examine assumptions, conduct further research, analyze results, write a comprehensive paper, and present ndings. The Nursing Class of 2011s thesis topics reect the role the liberal arts plays in their broad-based education. For example:
Improving the Health of Impoverished Children (Anna Joy Arnold, RN presented her poster abstract to the Eastern Nursing Research Society, Philadelphia.) Assessment of and Intervention in Cases of Child Abuse in the Emergency Setting (Harpreet Kaur presented at the Research Evening at Bassett Healthcare.) Treating Depression in the Elderly: Reminiscence Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Paris Maney) Teaching So They Hear: Effective Strategies to Motivate Self-Management in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes (Rebecca Martt, minor in Biology) Effective Nursing Interventions for Patients Experiencing Pregnancy Following a Perinatal Loss (Christie Traynor) Female Intimate Partner Violence Screening and Care in the Emergency Department (Elysse Russo) Impact of Nursing Interventions on Fatigue and Pain in Pediatric Oncology Patients (Meghan Bryan) The Importance of Ethics Education in Nursing Professional Practice (Kate Orban, minor in Philosophy) Suicide in the Military: The Nurses Role in Prevention (Nadine Gurley) Pediatric Palliative Care: The barriers to providing an optimal level of care to a vulnerable population (Liz Haddock)
Applied Science
Nursing graduates must demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and competency in applying theory to practice. The Senior Independent Practicum serves a vital role in each seniors transition into professional practice.
The Nursing Class of 2011 performed independent practicums in a variety of settings: General Medical-Surgical Units; Specialty Units such as Neurology, Oncology, and Orthopedics; Advanced Medical-Surgical Units, including Cardiac Surgery, Step Down, Emergency Services, Adult and Neonatal Intensive Care, Operative Services, and Post-anesthesia Care (PACU); Womens Health, including Labor and Delivery, Maternity, and Obstetrics and Gynecology; and a variety of Pediatric care settings. The Nursing Class of 2011 practiced in: Albany Medical Center, NY Bassett Medical Center, Cooperstown, NY Bay State Medical Center, Springeld, MA Boston Medical Center/Boston Hospital, Boston, MA Crouse Hospital, Syracuse, NY AO Fox Memorial Hospital, Oneonta, NY Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, Long Island, NY Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, NY Lourdes Hospital, Binghamton, NY Mission Hospital, Asheville, NC Morgan Stanley Childrens Hospital, New York-Presbyterian, New York, NY New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY Presbyterian St. Lukes Medical Center, Denver, CO St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford CT Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, Schenectady, NY University of California Irvine Medical Center, Irvine, CA Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY Westchester Medical Center, Valhalla, NY

Whos Next?
Hartwicks Class of 2015 is shaping up to be another record-breaker in terms of applications, selectivity and size. An increasing number of President Margaret L. Drugovich greets Karissa Harrison 15 students from around the at the Matriculation Ceremony during orientation in June. country and world are nding that the College is a best t for them, says Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing David Conway. He provided the following data on the incoming class: Applications for fall 2011 grew once again, this time by more than 50 percent over last year, to more than 6,300 rst-year and transfer applicants for fall 2011. The acceptance rate for the Class of 2015 is just 62 percent, the lowest in College history, meaning that Hartwicks selectivity has risen signicantly. The Class of 2015 will be among the most academically talented in Hartwick history. The average SAT score among rst-year students is up 50 points from the record-breaking Class of 2014, and the average high school grade point average is the highest in more than a decade. For the second straight year, Hartwick will welcome one of the largest rstyear classes in the history of the College. Current projections put the Class of 2015 close to 500 students strong. Thirty percent of the Class of 2015 is from outside New York State, compared to 22 percent for the Class of 2014; 17 of these are international students. The Class of 2015 is among the most diverse in recent memory, as 18 percent of its members are students of color. At least 40 rst-year students in the fall 2011 entering class are enrolling in Hartwicks Three-Year Bachelors Degree Program.
Members of the Class of 2011 departed Oyaron Hill well prepared for the next step of their lives. For many, that step is continuing their scholarship in preparation for a career. Below is a sampling of graduate schools and areas of study being pursued by the Class of 2011. The top programs are education, geology, engineering, and law.

And The Faculty Awards Go To . . .

Young Honored for Excellence in Teaching
Joining a distinguished list of Hartwick faculty members, Professor of Art Phil Young was chosen by the Class of 2006 as this years recipient of the Margaret Brigham Bunn Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Each year, alumni who graduated ve years earlier honor the faculty member they found most outstanding during their time at Hartwick. I was shocked and overwhelmed to have received this award, Young says. I have a great sense of thankfulness. This is really about studentsthats who we do this for. Teaching is collaborative, and this is also honoring all of the students Ive taught. Its just an overwhelming, great feeling. Young came to Hartwick in 1978. He holds a bachelors degree from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, a masters of divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary, and an MFA from American University. His courses focus on drawing, two-dimensional design, papermaking, and painting, and are inuenced by his own research, writing, and art. Even after over 30 years of teaching, Phil retains his enthusiasm for working with students, helping them, in the words of his department chair, to reach deep inside themselves in order to produce works of personal and global insight and beauty, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Michael G. Tannenbaum said in

Commentary
Hartwick andInnovation Asia: A Tradition of

Hartwick College is future-directed, focusing on educating people in ways that will make them effective throughout their lifetimes. Its strength comes from helping our students develop an understanding of our contemporary world based on knowledge of the past, examination of the present, and preparation for whats ahead. To accomplish this Hartwick builds upon a traditional liberal arts education by offering its students the opportunity to learn about current technologies, explore science, critically examine current social structures, and experiment with new art, music, and theater. In all we do, there is an appreciation of the past, an interest in the present, and a deliberate focus on the future. (Psychology) in Hong Kong, David Cody (English) and Mieko Nishida (History) in Japan, and Min Chung (Mathematics) in the Republic of Korea. My own Asia experience began in 1990, following the trailblazing Sabbatical Leave of the late professor John Stuligross. Soon after China opened its doors to the West with market-driven policies, Jack taught economics for a full year as one of its rst foreign experts at the Guangzhou Institute of Foreign Trade (GIFT). He had the foresight to see the role Asia would play in the lives of our students
Doing Business in Asia J Term 2011 students and faculty divided their time among Beijing, Shanghai, and Qingdao, China. The group posed before the massive May Wind sculpture of May 4th Square, in downtown Qingdao along Fushan Bay.
Rory Read 83, President and COO of Lenovo Group Ltd., ensured that Hartwick students had opportunities to talk international business with Lenovo executives in China.
One thing is certain: The world of Hartwick graduates will be diverse, interdependent, and global. The faculty actively integrates Asian study into a Hartwick education. This is not a new phenomenonin the 1980s, off-campus study included travel with professors John Lindell to Japan and Sugwon Kang to China. For a long time, students have beneted from Asianfocused on-campus and off-campus courses with current faculty such as professors David Anthony in Anthropology, Betsey Ayer in Art History, Sandy Huntington in Religious Studies, and Mary Vanderlaan in Political Science, and many other professors have contributed in integrative and comparative ways. Hartwick faculty who have themselves studied in Asia include professors KinHo Chan
and wanted to experience early changes rsthand. Jack returned to Hartwick with tales of an exhilarating, intellectually challenging experience, tales that inspired his students and colleagues for the rest of his Hartwick career. Intrigued and convinced, my wife Diane 85 and our then three-year-old daughter Kathlyn 10 joined me for my rst Sabbatical Leave in China, teaching international accounting for one semester at GIFT and then traveling extensively and independently throughout China. Hartwick supports important faculty development experiences such as this in many ways, including sabbatical leaves and trustee grants. These experiences energize our teaching and facilitate our research efforts so that our long-term tenure at the College is enhanced by staying current in our elds.
By Stephen Kolenda, Professor of Business Administration and Accounting
Steve Kolenda has been on the Hartwick faculty since 1983. His areas of expertise include corporate nancial reporting and international business in Asia. A Certied Public Accountant, he holds an M.B.A. from the University of Connecticut.
Scott Hardy 91. It was the right preparation for taking about half of those students to China for the January Term 2011 course, Doing Business in Asia. With the help of Christina Zhang 94 of Ocean University of Chinas International Chinese Business Program, Hartwick students studied business with Chinese faculty and students in Qingdao. In addition to factory tours in Qingdao, Lenovo President and COO Rory Read 83 arranged for our students to shadow practicing businesspersons in Beijing and Shanghai. We met with Kim Carbonelli Tingler 00 in Beijing where she has founded a nonprot organization helping thousands of orphaned Chinese girls, including those stranded by the recent Sichuan Province earthquakes. With the continued support of alumni like Dick Clapp 62 and retired librarian Nancy Chiang, the J Term 2012 course to China is fully enrolled. It will continue our faculty development objective when we are joined by another faculty member, Professor of Economics Larry Malone, who regularly teaches international economics.
On a quick return trip to China in 1992, students joined me to do marketing research for New York State companies in Guangdong Province. About that time, Trustee Emeritus Roy Rowan H95, author of Chasing the Dragon and a world-renowned Asian expert through his career with Time, Life and Fortune magazines and other experiences, convinced his Thai colleague Sondhi Limthoghkul H93 to donate funds to start underwriting the J Term experiences of Hartwick rst-year students. Roys son Marcus Rowan 84 had done an internship in Hong Kong under my supervisionmy rst taste of the benets a HartwickAsia experiential education could produce.
When Seth Canetto 11, Michael del Rosario 11, and Stephen Leisenfelder 11 had lunch at a Cloisonn factory, they were treated to an impromptu English lesson with happy and proud Chinese schoolchildren (shown with one of their teachers).
China expert and Trustee Emeritus Roy Rowan H95 recently returned to campus to discuss his latest book, Never Too Late: A 90-Year-Olds Pursuit of a Whirlwind Life. Rowan and wife, Helen, were welcomed by President Margaret L. Drugovich and professors Steve Kolenda (l) and John Clemens.
Limthoghkul began by inviting Hartwick students to Thailand, and I took the inaugural group in 1994, a visit that also began my research on developmental economics in the Golden Quadrangle region of Southeast Asia and southwestern China. Hartwick students have visited Thailand many times sincemost consistently to do longitudinal research on medicinal plants and childhood malnutrition under the supervision of Professor of Biology Linda Swift. I have continued to visit Southeast Asia regularly (most recently to Laos), including teaching international nance and international marketing for two Thai universities. Professor of Business Administration John Clemens and I initiated a new on-campus course, Doing Business with Asia, last fall that featured appearances by Asia business veterans like Fran Borrego 92 and
As the world evolves, Hartwick responds. Drawing on facultys personal and professional experiences, developing new expertise among faculty, and garnering the involvement and support of our active alumni body, Hartwick students will continue to study and visit Asia. Their future begins in Oneonta, where they are being educated to initiate change throughout the world.
Theory In Practice
It begins with an ideaall great work doesand continues with discussion, consideration, and practice. It nds direction with a mentor, and starts to take shape. It grows into inspiration, and slowly, carefully, develops into original work. Experimentation meets eeting failure along the way, and so it reshapes and becomes stronger. It is unrecognizable compared to the beginning, yet fully ones own. It is new knowledgedeep understanding, full expressionand it is taking place every day in the minds, the hearts, the conscious and subconscious of Hartwick students.

Having the condence to take ones work to an open forum sharing through recitation, presentation, performance, and demonstrationearning recognition on campus and among professionalsbeginning to realize ones intellectual capacity and creative promisethis is scholarship at Hartwick.
Performance Proclaims Promise

John Christopher Hartwick Scholara formal title conveying the gravitas of the designation. A coveted prize, a timeless honor, an unparalleled designation, it is the highest academic recognition that the College bestows.
For 44 years, only a few members of each junior class have earned the tribute. Being nominated is in itself an honor; candidates are chosen by the faculty in their major eld of study. Designated as Faculty Scholars, this years 34 nominees joined the Scholarship Award Committee, the Provost, and the President at her home in early spring for dinner and accolades. By the time the announcement came at Honors Convocation, the anticipation was palpable. Who will be named a John Christopher Hartwick Scholar? How could the committee choose among so many accomplished nominees? Who will be so honored for her or his academic achievement, leadership, and character? Feeling (or perhaps feeding) the tension in the room, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Michael G. Tannenbaum began the 2011 announcement by saying, And the envelope please Resounding applause, cheers, and a few tears greeted these outstanding young scholars, all of them Class of 2012. These few bring the ranks of JCH Scholars to 297 since the designation was established by President Frederick M. Binder and the Board of Trustees in 1967. Each winner receives a JCH medallion, the gift of Bill Kitson 86 and Diane Smith Kitson 87, herself a John Christopher Hartwick Scholar. In addition, each John Christopher Hartwick Scholar is awarded a substantial tuition grant for his or her senior year of study.
Scholar to Doctor
Looking at the fresh faces of John Christopher Hartwick Scholars, it is tempting to imagine what lies ahead. Five years, 10 years, even 25 or 35 years ago, the same questions arose in the minds of those John Christopher Hartwick Scholars, their faculty and families.
This, the rst in a series illustrating how far and in what directions John Christopher Hartwick Scholars take their academic abilities, focuses on those JCH alumni who have earned terminal degrees in the sciences.

Alumnus Rewards Critical Thinking

Manhattan real estate mogul Steve Green 59 ew to campus in May to bestow honors and cash prizes on the winners of the inaugural Stephen L. Green 59 American Governance Paper Competition. He worked with President Margaret L. Drugovich and Political Science Chair Laurel Elder to develop this challenge for Hartwick students. (See the fall 2010 issue of The Wick. www.hartwick.edu/wickarchive)
Some of Hartwicks best took advantage of this opportunity for intellectual inquiry without course credit. Rachel Rhodes 13 (r), a double major in Political Science and History, earned rst prize for her paper, The American Identity Crisis. Eric Schultz 12, a double major in Political Science and German, placed second for his paper, Hoping for Democracy. John Christopher Hartwick Scholar Rebecka Flynn 12, Faculty Scholar in Political Science Lauren Mausert 12, and John Christopher Hartwick Scholar Brittany M. Morrissey 12 also earned recognition. Rhodes arrived for the awards ceremony fresh from Belgium, where she spent the spring semester studying French and international affairs at Vesalius College in Brussels. Her semester abroad included opportunities to travel extensively in Belgium and Europe.

The Nexus of Theory and Practice

May 13, 2011Hartwicks fourth annual Scholar Showcase. The spotlight is on the students, their intellectual advances and creative endeavors. Plan your day around Hartwick185 presentations; 74 mentors; 249 students. Its impossible to see them all, so schedule carefully, and be exible as a table talk catches your attention, a performance causes you to linger, a work of art gives you pause, a demonstration raises new questions. It is exhilarating to observe the students intellectual and creative progress; to be there as inspiration is shared, processes unfold, knowledge is questioned and rebuilt, conclusions are defended, breakthroughs are celebrated, and aspirations are revealed.
Two-time Freedman Prize winner Megan Shipman 11 presented her research on rats and the effects high fat diets have on cognitive performance. Dr. KinHo Chan says, Megan brings original ideas to experimental designs. She challenges my thinking and functions very much like a graduate student in my lab. Gilbert Lucky Pearto 11 accepts his Freedman Prize for Theatre Arts from President Margaret L. Drugovich as Allen and Judy Freedman look on with pleasure. Carmen Lookshire 12 shared reections on and mementos from her Art History J Term in London and Paris as her Scholar Showcase presentation.
These student-faculty collaborations realize Hartwicks vision: to be the best at melding a liberal arts education with experiential learning. It happens again and again; one ambitious student at a time, working with one highly invested professor, reaching further for new ideas and experiences toward unimaginable outcomes.
And it all started with a gift.

Scholarly advances have characterized Hartwick since its beginnings in 1797. But it was the foresight and generosity of Allen Freedman H00 and Judy Brick Freedman that galvanized discrete efforts and led to the celebration of discovery now known as Scholar Showcase. These friends of the College established the Freedman Prize for Student-Faculty Collaborative Research in 2002. Their initial gift to support geochemistry honored his father, noted chemist Emiel Freedman. In 2006 the couple extended their reach into other disciplines, including the arts (their passion) and business (his career). We are investing in strategic advantage, says Allen. Thats how I start everything. You need to know your core competencieswhat you do better than anyone elseand to have the condence to know what you cant. The faculty here is phenomenal, Judy says, noting that Eric Johnson is the best in Geochemistry and Ken Golden in Theatre is a longtime partner. Our gifts highlight the faculty, she explains, and Allen adds, The impact of disciplined research and senior facultythats our payback. We like to plant a seed. It is so powerful to realize how important it is to give someone young a chance, Judy says. We are supporting people at a pivotal point in their lives. It all fell together at Hartwick.
Upon completion of his mezmerizing and prize-winning performance of Hairy Man, Mark DeRoziere 12 publicly thanked the Freedmans for their support. Glass and Sculpture student Crystal Postighone 11 created individual glass globes hanging from an impressive metal tree-like sculpture. Brianna OConnor 11 created a threegeneration portrait of her mother, herself, and her grandmother (pictured) for Showcase and the Senior Art Show.
Many of the Freedman Prize winners, mentors, and President Margaret L. Drugovich gathered around the Freedmans after the awards ceremony.
The Freedmans fully understand the importance of inquiry and its product, with product being new knowledge that catalyzes deeper learning and further inquiry, says President Margaret L. Drugovich. They have a profound understanding of the power of the nexus of theory and practice. They are unusual in this way.

For her Senior Thesis project, Physics and Math major Eileen Haffner 11 built a pulse jet engine. She used metal tubes (that she welded herself), a shop vac, a propane tank, and a spark plug. The engine runs when the spark plug ignites the right mixture of air and fuel (propane), creating 100 small explosions per second, Haffner explains. Haffners jet engine is based on a 1928 German design that powered the V-1 buzz bombs used on London during World War II. It is also very loud. The homemade engine is four times more powerful than Haffner or her advisor, Professor of Physics Larry Nienart, rst hypothesized. She concedes, however, that its poor fuel consumptionabout 1 pound of propane every 15 minutesmakes it impractical. Thats the kind of problem Haffner might solve in the future; shes on her way to Clarkson University to earn a masters degree in aeronautical engineering.

A Mentors Perspective on Professional Review

We require oral presentations from all of our students, and what struck the judges about our students was their poise as presenters and in the question and answer segments. Other students had ne papers but seemed uncomfortable with the audience and unfamiliar with handling questions. The papers are submitted in advance, so the judges also had time to assess the scholarship. Here again, our department is committed to primary source researchresearch based on contemporary sources. The host professors were particularly intrigued with the sophisticated understanding of gender constructs and the transgression of those constructs in the papers presented by our female students. It speaks to my colleagues commitment to exploring those issues historicallymine, too. I have worked at Hartwick for more than a quarter century. Our model for teaching and curricular expectations empowers our students to make the most of their own education. All they need from us is encouragement, critical guidance, and just enough challenge personally pegged to each studentto help them realize the most from their education and to make them lifelong learners.
Phi Alpha Theta is a national history honors society that is nearly a century old. Professor Emeritus Leonard Pudelka established Hartwicks Nu Theta chapter in 1968. The society sponsors regional conferences, where undergraduate and graduate students present their research to panels of faculty judges. Any student may present at the regional history conference, but only members of Phi Alpha Theta are eligible for prizes. Of our six students presenting this year, the three who were eligible won prizes and I received high praise for the others work. I couldnt have been prouder of our students, who in two cases outperformed graduate students from CUNY.

The people who sit in a holding cell at 5:30 on a Sunday morning are a strange bunch. Theres the old homeless lady lying under the bench wearing a Dora the Explorer tee shirt and sneakers that are duct-taped together. The transient hooker stands in the corner, red shnets slightly torn near her almost crotch-less pants. The drunken housewife sits on the middle of the bench, blond-highlighted head rmly planted in her freshly-manicured nails. She shakes it slowly and groans. Then theres the mismatched girl bouncing in the corner, neon green ngernail forever twirling one of her blond pig-tails. If she had a piece of gum shed be popping it. Her rainbow knee-high socks meet with the same colored shnets as the hooker, and her shorts are almost as short. Her tank exposes her pierced navel, which is home to a ashing disco ball ring. Each inch of her arms are covered with those cheap beads you can buy for twenty dollars a bucket or by bulk through the mail. Her eyes are centered in a long blue rectangle painted across the bridge of her nose, almost reaching her ears. Theres a thin layer of glitter over her whole body.

Fabulous experiences take funding. International study is experiential learning at its best, and a hallmark of a Hartwick education. Yet study abroad, and Hartwicks signature J Term program, is out of reach for too many students.
Thanks to the generosity of a few prescient donors, some international experiences are funded with endowed scholarships. The Duffy Family Ambassador Scholarships, established in 1999 by former Trustee John H00 and Anne Duffy P91, P95, support educational travel abroad

Breakthrough
By Gregory W. Smith, Assistant Professor of Education
A Lifes Work,
Prologue Your son has autism. Her words hung in the air just long enough for me to comprehend. Then they fell. It was four years ago that the educational psychologist presented my wife and me with her diagnosis: our son has autism. Suddenly, it was silent and everything moved in slow motion. Then, on impact, my gut dropped and reality set in. Yet at that moment, I also truly understood the word surreal.
Greg Smith earned his Ph.D. from Clemson University and joined the Hartwick faculty in 2010. His research interests include learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, and autism.

Context
Two physicians working independently, Leo Kanner (1943) and Hans Asperger (1944), published the seminal work in the eld of autism. Both described a unique group of children who displayed unusual behaviors that made them qualitatively different from other children. Kanner and Asperger began to identify similar and very specic characteristics (a delay in the acquisition of speech and language, social awkwardness, a difculty in understanding nonverbal social cues, a restricted range of interests, and an obsessive desire for the maintenance of sameness), as occurring in a certain group of individuals. Each used the term autistic to describe such individuals. Autism (from the Greek word autos, meaning self), is a complex neurobiological disorder that is part of a group of ve disorders together known as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Hallahan, Kauffman, and Pullen (2009) cite the differentiating characteristics among the ve ASD categories: (1) Autism-decits in social interaction, communication, cognition, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior; some have abnormal sensory perceptions. Usually manifests before three years of age. (2) Asperger syndrome-decits similar to those who have autism, but to a milder degree, and without signicant impairments in cognition and language. Social interaction (often due to difculties in communication and reading social cues) is often the biggest challenge of those with Asperger syndrome. (3) Rett syndrome-normal development for ve months to four years, followed by a severe regression of cognitive abilities, resulting in mental retardation; much more prevalent in females. (4) Childhood disintegrative disorder-normal development for at least two and up to 10 years, followed by signicant loss of cognitive skills; much more prevalent in males. (5) Pervasive developmental disorder/not otherwise specied-persons who display behaviors typical of autism but to a lesser degree and/or with an onset later than three years of age.
I have been working with individuals with disabilities since I was 12 and volunteered at a camp for individuals with cerebral palsy. Throughout college, I worked at an Easter Seals camp. After college, I taught special education for 10 years in the public school system of New Jersey. I have earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. in special education.
But the game changes signicantly when one of the players is your own child.
Prevalence
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2011), Autism Spectrum Disorders affect approximately one out of every 110 children in the U.S. In 1980, one in 10,000 children living in the U.S. was diagnosed with ASD. Alarmingly, more than 35,000 of the children born in the U.S. in 2010 alone will eventually be diagnosed with ASD. Why such a dramatic rise over the course of just 30 years? The consensus among professionals in medicine, psychology, and education attribute the increase to three main occurrences: (1) broader diagnostic criteria, (2) greater awareness among parents and professionals, and (3) improved case-nding methods. Regardless of the reason for the increase in prevalence, and given the chronic and pervasive nature of ASD, there is an imperative need for effective treatments.
The Law and Special Education

In 1975, the United States Congress enacted Public Law 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. Since then, the act has gone through several reauthorizations, and today is most commonly referred to as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. Autism Spectrum Disorders is one of the 13 disability categories specied in the IDEA that enables students, birth through the age of 18 or 21, to receive special education services (e.g. early intervention, accommodations, modications, speech language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, etc.) in and out of school. In addition, the U.S. Federal Government has passed Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, guaranteeing inalienable rights and freedoms to individuals with disabilities by prohibiting discrimination based on disability. Section 504 and the ADA also enable individuals with disabilities to secure

accommodations and modications in postsecondary educational settings.
Special Education Certication

Hartwick students in the special education certication program are being prepared to help address the most pressing challenges faced by individuals with ASD and their families. They pursue coursework, classroom teaching opportunities with individuals with special needs, and volunteer opportunities in school-wide and community programs. Hartwicks Education Program offers extensive service learning and student teaching components. Every Education student logs more than 120 hours of service learning and 420-450 practicum hours of student teaching, including a required international or urban placement. As of 2010, students in our teacher education program can work toward New York State Teacher Certication in Special Education. Students major in an academic area while working to complete all of the necessary courses for the special education certication. Additionally, students have the option to pursue dual certication in several areas.
Transition to Postsecondary Education

Families and professionals in secondary and postsecondary school settings need to address the most pressing questions together. When contemplating entrance into college, individuals with ASD (and their families) are faced with numerous questions of uncertainty: (1) What are the specic barriers, (2) What are the best ways to prepare for college, and (3) How do you decide if and when an individual is ready? Due to the inherent differences in academic and social abilities of individuals with ASD, no one answer will apply to every individual. Regardless of the degree of difference in academic and social ability, postsecondary settings should offer individuals with ASD services in scheduling, time management, academic coursework, choice making, and social interaction. For individuals with ASD (and their families), the main challenge becomes locating postsecondary settings that offer the services required for academic and social success. What becomes difcult for many individuals with ASD, and for their parents, is the issue of advocacy. Throughout elementary, middle, and high school, the school serves as the students advocate (as mandated by the IDEA) in securing special education services. In postsecondary educational settings, when the IDEA is no longer legally binding, it is up to the individual to act as his or her own advocate to receive the accommodations and modications guaranteed by law. Additionally, the transition to postsecondary school for individuals with ASD is particularly challenging because of their unique characteristics, the lack of services that address the special needs of such individuals in adulthood, and the expectations of society for a typical path to academic success in the face of atypical development. Individuals with ASD are often academically qualied to attend higher-education institutions, but lack the necessary social skills to ensure academic and personal success. Understanding ASD, and the particular challenges faced by students with the disorder, is necessary for colleges to meet the unique needs of this academically qualied population.
Epilogue
As I sat down to write this piece on autism, I was ooded with emotions. Should I make it personal, or just informative? Should I address personal questions, such as those my wife and I are just now beginning to contemplate: When do I tell my son that he has autism? When do we tell our daughter that her brother has autism? Whats the best way to go about doing this? I have had the unique and wonderful opportunity to view the world of special education through the lens of a teacher, a scholar, and a parent. As a scholar, I have been trained to focus on statistical signicance, but as a parent, I am more concerned with personal signicance. I just want to know what will work with my son. We live in Oneonta, not in an Ivory Tower.
To the parents of children with disabilities: I understand your

frustrations, I know your pain, and I share your pride.

PORTRAIT IN PHILANTHROPY:
David Long 83 and Stephanie Isgur Long 84

By Elizabeth Steele | Elizabeth Steele is a professional writer and partner of President Margaret L. Drugovich.
It takes more than a yardstick, a calendar, or a stock return to measure a life. Consider Stephanie Isgur Long 84 and David Long 83. The common gauges of professional achievement and personal resources prove their success. Yet there is so much more to this power couple than numbers can express. The qualities that defy appraisalgenerosity, insight, and attention, to name a feware the very features that dene who they are.
Lives Well Lived

Professional Assessment
Their worth could certainly be weighed by promotions. David was recently elected Chief Executive Ofcer of Liberty Mutual Group, one of the worlds largest insurance enterprises and a Fortune 100 rm with $33.2 billion in revenues and $1.7 billion in net income (2010). This recognition follows quickly on his appointment as president and member of the board of directors of Liberty Mutual Group in 2010, president of Liberty International in 2009, executive vice president and president of Liberty Mutuals Commercial Markets in 2005. The fast pace suits him. New challenges keep me engaged, David explains. Finding the right environment can prepare you well to compete with anyone, in any eld. This was true for me at Hartwick and remains so today. Our company is very complex so I have been challenged yet I have also always felt valued. David joined Liberty Mutual in 1985 as a nancial analyst soon after earning his Hartwick degree magna cum laude with a major in Mathematics. His status as a John Christopher Hartwick Scholar proved to be a harbinger of achievements to come. He continued his studies at Boston College, graduating rst in his class with a masters in nance. Stephanie specialized in interpersonal relations as a Psychology major at Hartwick. A minor in Womens Studies brought her together with the woman who became her favorite professor Winifred Win Wandersee, now deceased, was Professor of History, Chair of the Faculty, and a nationally-recognized expert on the history of women in the workforce. Stephanie says those studies gave me an edge when she built the archives collection of the Dana Hall School, outside of Boston. After 18 years on the job, she left the position a few years ago to concentrate on family needs, and this year started an innovative upholstery fabric and wallpaper business with a designer friend.
Value Beyond Measure

Their intellectual energy springs from David and Stephanies keen, well-educated minds. Their full lives grow from a profound partnership rooted in a strong marriage. Their joy ows from parenting two beautiful children. And their tenacity has stemmed from necessity as they raise a child with a disability. Daughter Hayley is now in college, son Oliver in high school. He is a high-functioning young man with autism. There isnt anything I dont know about autism, Stephanie says. Like many parents, I have had to become an expert in my childs health. Researching the disorder, studying related issues, and evaluating progress in the eld have essentially become her lifes work. For more than 10 years, Stephanie and David have been involved in YouthCare at Massachusetts General Hospital, a therapeutically-based initiative that helps children and young adults with autism
Every fall, no matter where I am, I think of Hartwick and the beauty of the campus, says Stephanie Long, who will enjoy the real thing when she and David return for Homecoming & Reunion Weekend 2011.
spectrum disorders to develop social skills. Their intention, Stephanie says, is to grow such programming through the life cycle, so that high-functioning people with autism can go to college, can have a life.
Extended Reach
Prepared to meet the challenges of autism head-on, and eager to help others well beyond their own family, the Longs turned to their alma mater and President Margaret L. Drugovich. Margaret suggested that we could bring our priorities together and do something important at Hartwick, David explains. We want to serve high-functioning kids and help to prepare special education teachers. We want to support that interest of ours and Hartwick at same time. This determination sparked the couples most recent, and to date largest, gift to Hartwick. We made this commitment because Margarets idea excited us, Stephanie says.
We know what we do here will matter. The Longs are dogged problem solvers who expect strong collaborators. David likes President Drugovichs clear vision, denite plans, and follow through. Stephanie appreciates that shes open and a good communicator. Together, the three make a powerful team working for Hartwick and, now, for its special education program and for college-ready students of all sorts. Hartwick gave me opportunities that I ordinarily wouldnt have had, David recalls, noting that he attended on a scholarship and citing his work with the Colleges terric Math professors. At Hartwick, the focus is on having condence in your abilities, not comparing yourself to others. I enjoyed a complete education, a combination of academics, competition, and condence building.
network of friends and family. Hartwick was a really positive experience for us when we were kids, Stephanie recalls. Their extended family includes his brother Stephen Long 79, a member of the 1977 Mens Soccer Championship Team that will be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame; Davids godson, William Heydari 14; and so many friends, including retired mens soccer Head Coach Jim Lennox. Stephanie and Davids Hartwick life spans the years and crosses the generations. Their fondness for and gratitude to their college inspires their philanthropy. As they invest, they look forward. We have seen a lot of positive change at Hartwick in recent years, says David, who just completed his third term on the Board of Trustees. The leadership at the College gives us a lot of comfort that we can make a difference. I am unequivocally positive about Hartwick College in the future.
Personal Satisfaction
Their Hartwick experience brought the Longs countless gifts, including an extended

The Place that is
Pine Lake
By Christopher Lott | Chris Lott is the Colleges Associate Writer
Above: Archeology students use a water sifter to search for artifacts at Pine Lake. Left: Philip Gross 12 discusses his work on the archaeological dig at Hartwicks Pine Lake Campus with President Margaret L. Drugovich.
Pine Lake Environmental Campus has been a cornerstone of a Hartwick education for 40 years. From scientic eld work to courses such as The Architecture of the Sacred, students have ocked to the unique site a few miles from Oyaron Hill to complete classes and theses that will help to dene their time as Hartwick students.
For many, Harwticks Pine Lake Environmental Campus is a place to catch their breath, to realize a deep connection with the natural world, to dissolve lifes daily stresses. For many others, it is a place where critical scholarly work takes place every day. One of the beauties of Pine Lake is that it offers a unique interdisciplinary experiential framework for a Hartwick education, explains Brian Hagenbuch, Director of the Pine Lake Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Studies. The essence of Pine Lake for scholarship is the place, and its uniqueness. That distinctive place now includes 22 buildings, with residential living options for 35 Hartwick students, plus classrooms, the Robert R. Smith Environmental Field Station, the Vaudevillian theatre, picnic pavilion, and a ropes course on the 125-acre lower tract. Hartwicks Pine Lake Environmental Campus abuts a 217-acre New York State Forest Preserve and the 2,000-acre Robert V. Riddell State Park (820 acres was the Upper Tract of Pine Lake, which Hartwick sold to the state in 2009; the sale included 20 acres donated to Hartwick by alumni grandparents Pauline 40 and Herbert Hebbard). In total, Hartwick
students and faculty access more than 2,000 acres of protected wilderness to study. And study they do. Pine Lake is home to many courses in biology, chemistry, geology and environmental studies. But the site is much more than a thriving, living laboratory for the sciences. Faculty in English, history, art, religious studies, archaeology, and nursing regularly utilize Pine Lakes natural setting as an indispensable element of their courses. Lecturer in English Alice Lichtenstein, a published novelist, has taught ction and memoir-writing classes at Pine Lake for years. Her students are captivated and inspired by the opportunity to work in such surroundings. Pine Lakes meditative atmosphere is perfect for a writing course, she explains. We sometimes take silent hikes to the bog, and we use that silence for honing our powers of observation. We take the time to do some basic yoga and breathing meditationthings you wouldnt ordinarily do in an academic environment. Often my students describe the intensive course as a retreat, Lichtenstein continues. For some of them this is the rst time in their
Its unusual for a school of our size to have a facility like this. For my students to do actual eld research, Pine Lake is invaluable.

lives theyve been allowed to quiet their minds and focus on an exploration of themselves, and their writing. Associate Professor of Biology Mark Kuhlmann and his students use the space in a very different way. They have been investigating an invasive species known as the rusty craysh for several years, examining its effects on native craysh species, as well as on the macroinvertebrates (typically insect larvae) on which it feeds. Its unusual for a school of our size to have a facility like this, Kuhlmann says. For my students to do actual eld research, Pine Lake is invaluable. They can get that kind of experience here because Pine Lake is not just a research center, it is a multi-purpose facility. For Tiernan Sykes Close 96, the lessons she took from Pine Lake had a direct impact on her life and career. Until recently, she taught religion at The Pennington School in New Jerseywork that was buttressed by her experiences at Pine Lake. Close worked with the Challenge Education staff at Pine Lake when she was a Hartwick student. Leading her peers on ropes course excursions helped remove her timid shell, she says, and made the transition to her career and motherhood much smoother. As a member of the 2009-10 Presidents Pine Lake Taskforcechartered to examine the current and future uses of Pine LakeClose focused her attention on ways to strengthen scholarship at Pine Lake, and to ensure it is an integral part of every Hartwick students experience. Scholarship at Pine Lake is so important, says this Religious Studies graduate. Its all about
helping the students understand how important it is to work out there in a hands-on kind of way. My goal [as a taskforce member] was to make sure every student gets to experience Pine Lake at least once in his or her lifetime. Just as Close feels experiential learning at Pine Lake is critical for todays Hartwick students, a cadre of forward-thinking faculty members proposed a course titled Man and the Environment in 1969. This small project developed into what has become a distinctive feature of the Hartwick College experience. We were talking about the upcoming December term, and agreed we wanted to take the students out on some sort of wilderness experience, recalls Professor Emeritus of Geology David Hutch Hutchison. Somebody had a map of the greater Oneonta area, and said, Theres this area about eight miles east of Oneonta with no roads. Somebody else said, Thats part of the private summer resort called Pine Lake, and a third person said, I heard its for sale. So three or so of us grabbed President Adolph Anderson and Kurt Neunzig whose father had bought Pine Lake in 1926 took us around in his Jeep. We went all over the 800-plus acres, and when we got out of the Jeep President Anderson said, We should buy this. With the assent of the Board of Trustees, Anderson struck a favorable deal to purchase the property. Neunzig was anxious for Pine Lake to be preserved, and was happy to transfer the distinctive site to the College, Hutchison recalls. Some 40 years later, Pine Lake is used for relaxation, recreation, meditation, and scholarship in ways that make Hartwick unique among small liberal arts colleges.
Provost Michael Tannenbaum and I have researched other schools and we cant nd anything similar at another liberal arts college, says Hagenbuch. Some other schools have a separate eld station that is owned by the sciences. Pine Lake is owned by every Hartwick discipline; all of our faculty and students have the capacity to use it. Andrew Parisi 11, for instance, studied Water Quality of the Upper Susquehanna River and the Pine Lake Area with mentors Associate Professor of Geology and Environmental Sciences David Grifng and Assistant Professor of Chemistry Zsuzsanna Balogh-Brunstad. Pine Lake is isolated, meaning it does not have to deal with as many people or so much pollution, so it makes the lake good to compare to the river, Parisi explains. Every two weeks during the summer I went along the Susquehanna River between Cooperstown and Unadilla and sampled water with clean bottles, and then came back to Pine Lake to get the last few samples. We ltered the water and tested it for pollution, such as heavy metals and fertilizer. In the end, we found that the river is really clean, almost all of the pollution can be traced to the bedrock that Otsego Lake rests on. For Katie Watson 11, Pine Lake campus was central to her Senior Thesis and, ultimately, to acceptance at her top-choice graduate school. Under the guidance of mentors BaloghBrunstad and Assistant Professor of Chemistry John Dudek, she studied the Effect of Vegetation on Soil-water Chemistry at Pine Lake, taking samples from both conifers and deciduous trees at nearby locations to determine ion concentrations and test for nutrients like calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, nitrate, sulfate, and chloride.
The essence of Pine Lake for scholarship is the place, and its uniqueness.
Brian Hagenbuch, Director of the Pine Lake Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Studies
We found that there were lower concentrations of every ion that we looked at under the deciduous trees, she explains. That suggests that deciduous trees have higher nutrient demands, because of their life cycle of losing leaves every year. This impacts things like forest management. If you were cutting a road through a forest, the kinds of trees you cut would impact your decision. We found that the soil water under the deciduous trees was more acidic, so if you were replanting a forest you would want to take that into account. Since acid rain is making the soil more acidic, you might not want trees that are also making the soil even more so.
I dont know what my thesis would have been if not for Pine Lake, Watson says. Its been a really big project for me, and such an important part of my learning and my academic career at Hartwick. People at grad schools have been so impressed with my research. Although Watsons research is exceptional, it is not the exception. What we offer at Pine Lake is a chance for our students to work locally and then take that knowledge, that learning, and that experience with them wherever they go, Hagenbuch says. Theyre going to answer big questions. Where am I going to live? What am I going to do?
The history of respect for Pine Lakes natural elements means that solitude is not just allowed, but honored. Pine Lake is a place where natural beauty has always been respected, Lichtenstein reects. Theres a history going back before its Vaudeville days of people retreating to this place, where they left stress behind and felt very safe. Pine Lake has an atmosphere of both peacefulness and a sacred quality, but it is also infused with a spirit of fun. That sense of peaceful fun is apparent to even the youngest Pine Lake enthusiasts. Last summer we brought our three kids to Pine Lake for the rst time, recalls Close. Our seven-year old son, Maxwell, said, This is the greatest place Ive ever been! I could hear him pretending he was going on a bear hunt all the way around the lake. Beyond its capacity to house students and provide a cool swimming hole on hot summer days, Pine Lake offers an opportunity for Hartwick students to dig deeper into their work, and themselves. You can live here and play here, says Hagenbuch, but you can also probe the bigger questions, whether its water chemistrys impact on different species of trees or existential questions, like those posed by Thoreau. Pine Lake plays host to all those disciplines; it plays host very well.
I dont know what my thesis would have been if not for Pine Lake. Its been a really big project for me, and such an important part of my learning and my academic career at Hartwick. People at grad schools have been so impressed with my research.
Katie Watson 11
Watson and Parisi were part of the Environmental Science & Policy Pine Lake Scholar program (ES&P), a grant-funded effort coordinated by the Pine Lake Institute that provides opportunities for ES&P students to support their research. Through the programs funding, Watson and Parisi were able to live at Pine Lake during the summer of 2010 and conduct their intensive research close to home. Watson took those ndings to the Geological Society of America meeting in Anaheim, CA, this spring, presenting her work to nearly 20,000 scientists. This fall she will enroll at the University of South Florida to study chemical oceanography. There she will sample the sand on the oor of the Gulf Coast to study the impact of the disastrous oil spill of 2010.
How am I going to relate to the human and natural world? This is what we do at Pine Lake. Fred Stoss 72, Biology and Environmental Sciences Librarian at the University of Buffalo, has long been a champion of the transformative effect of Pine Lake. The Pine Lake Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Studies has evolved from a cluster of buildings in a eld to an educational incubator for a cross-disciplinary dialog about life and living, he says. Pine Lake is a facility for teaching, entertaining, and housing. Pine Lake is a classroom, laboratory, and eld station for learning. Pine Lake provides a setting for explorations from the riches of its natural resources, to the contemplative richness found in its solitude.

What It Takes to Be a Super Fan

Team: Hartwick Mens DI Soccer Position: Chief Cheerleader
Calvin W. Chase 71
Cal Chases years of dedication to the Mens DI Soccer program, the College and the Oneonta community were recognized this year when he was honored as the 2011 Citizen of the Year at the Hartwick College Citizens Board Gala in June. Years with the Team: Chase arrived at Hartwick in 1967, the same year coach Al Miller took the Mens Soccer program national. That year, his rookie season as Chief Cheerleader, the team went undefeated. They went on to only greater success during his time on Oyaron Hill. His sophomore and junior years they earned berths in the NCAA tournament and his senior year (1970/71), the team made their rst appearance in the NCAA Final Four. In his 44 years with the team, Chase has been an integral part of one of the most storied soccer programs in the country. Matches Attended: Until being diagnosed with cancer last year, Chase had not missed a Mens Soccer home game in 35 years. Between 2002 and 2009, Chase attended 137 out of 138 matches played. His record would have been perfect had he opted to attend a game rather than take his daughter to her college move-in day!
Cal Chase (center) with his wife, Kathy, and family members at the 2011 Citizens Board Gala this year.
Being a Mentor: Chases commitment to Mens DI Soccer runs deep. He is more than a fan: he is part of what makes Hartwick Soccer unique. His years of dedication to the team have given him the unique ability to mentor players about what it truly means to play for Hartwick and the caliber of men that have come before them. In fact, the day before he went in for cancer surgery, he made a special trip to campus to join the players for training camp. He wanted to be sure that each of them understood that he wouldnt be around as much as usual, but that it wasnt because he had lost faith in them or interest in the program.
Going Above and Beyond

He has driven non-stop from Oneonta to Milwaukee, WI, Bloomington, IN, and Winston-Salem, NC, to attend matches The rst time Cal ew was because he couldnt drive from Oneonta to Seattle, WA, and make the match on time. When attending away games, Cal makes it a point to sit in the opposing teams section to educate their fans about Hartwick College and the Mens Soccer Program. He used to use his vacation time to attend training camp. Why?: Ive always seen this program as a little school competing against giants. Bigger doesnt always mean better, he says.

Baldacci discussed with the class the balancing of classic business management with entrepreneurialism, as well as stories of his own numerous and varied business ventures. Students were impressed by his words of advice, including: Never miss an opportunity or an experience, whether it is personal, family or job related. You cant fake ethics; you cant ick them on and off with a switch. The only way to go is with the highest level of ethics and standards as you can. Work a lot of jobs early in your career to learn more. If you work like heck, youll learn, make more money, and then you can go do something else.

Of course, Baker didnt leave without giving the seniors some good advice: If there is a little thing that sticks with you today, let that be that 99% of people are clueless when they get out of school. With that, any job that you take will lay groundwork and teach you something. You will meet two or three people in your life that can really change it, as long as you are open and listening.

After serving as a swim instructor in the Navy to new recruits during World War II, Kurt and his wife, Liz, while raising their three children, spent their summers building up and operating Pine Lake as a summer housekeeping cabin resort for the next 25 years. He not only did much of the plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc., but was revered by generations of young kids who among other things he taught to swim, took on hikes, played softball with, and rode around the lake on his jeep.

Winters during those years were spent working in Miami Beach at hotels and in water shows. An avid vegetable gardener, Kurt at various times also raised pigeons, beagles, horses, and Scottish Highlander cattle.

Hartwick Giving
Investing in Hartwick,
Endowed Scholarships provide the gift of opportunity, said President Margaret L. Drugovich at the Partners in Scholarship luncheon in May. Noting that 98 percent of Hartwick students receive nancial support, she explained, A $10,000 annual distribution from a large endowment can allow a student to dream of choosing Hartwick. A $1,000 annual distribution from a smaller endowment can allow a student to remain, to stay with her dream. Simply put, endowed scholarships make dreams come true for generations of Hartwick students to come. Endowed scholarships offer a personal way to have a direct impact on the quality of students earning the degree. For more information about endowed scholarships and other forms of student support, please contact Jim Broschart, Vice President for College Advancement, at 607-431-4026 or broschartj@hartwick.edu.
