Growing and Growing and Growing

I recently spent ten wonderful days with my five-year-old grand-daughter, Orly, who lives with her parents in Cincinnati. During her time in Vermont with “Grammy” and me, we drove to New Haven and spent the day with our other grandchildren: Annie (age 4), and Sammy and Isabel (age 13 months), whose family had just moved to the East Coast from Los Angeles and will be here for a year. What a delight it was to be with all our grandchildren at one time. What struck me most was how each child had grown and developed since the last time I saw him or her. They wowed this Grandpa with their accomplishments. At the core, there was still the personality I had come to know in their infancy, there was a breathtaking maturity in their relationships with others and in their cognition—particularly in the cases of Annie and Orly, who quickly became good friends. Both girls have expanded their interests (and talents) in art, science, creative play, writing, social interactions and so much more. I loved every moment with them and look forward to watching and participating in their continued growth and development.

Just as my grandchildren have grown, RCC keeps growing and developing and shaping its unique persona in Rockland County.

In Celebration of Scholarship

While I have always believed that community colleges are primarily teaching institutions and teaching is at the center of all we do, I also believe after almost fifty years in community college education that our best teachers are also actively involved in some kind of scholarship/professional activities. This engagement can be traditional research, creativity in the visual, performing or textual arts or active involvement in social, community or business activities. It is because of this belief that one of the first projects I initiated when I came to RCC was the establishment of The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) . I will forever be grateful to the extraordinary Libby Bay, former English Professor and Humanities Division Chair, who chaired the committee that developed the guidelines for CETL. The amazing work Professor Bay began continues today under the leadership of CETL Co-Directors, Professor Lynn Aaron and Dr. Elaine Padilla. These committed f

A Special Holiday Gift from the Riversville Foundation

On Tuesday, December 6, RCC and BOCES administrators gathered for a luncheon with this year's student recipients of the Riversville Foundation scholarship awards. The Riversville Foundation was founded in 2006 by Barton Biggs, a former partner at Morgan Stanley and founder of Traxis Partners, a hedge-fund based in Greenwich, CT. Biggs, who died in 2012, believed in the power of education, and particularly the importance of a college degree. While Riversville has primarily worked with four-year institutions, beginning in 2014, the Riversville Foundation began a collaboration with Rockland Community College. This year, full one-year scholarships were awarded to 21 RCC students, a commitment of more than $95,000. Under the direction of the Riversville Foundation's Executive Director, Bruno Casolari, a former Director of Resource Development at RCC , the Foundation has awarded more than $135,000 in need-based scholarships to more than 25 Rockland Community College s

Goals and Gold

My goal when I came to RCC in May of 2004 was to create a student-centered environment that put students and their learning and success at the center of the institution. I knew that for that to happen, there had to be transformation and change. And, since teaching and learning are the primary mission of the College, I knew that first we had to look at how we teach and how our students learn. Early in my tenure, I established the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) , and now, after more than ten years, CETL has thrived, and each year it has provided an array of programs to help and encourage our faculty. In addition to CETL, over the last several years, the State University of New York (SUNY) has charged its community colleges with looking at how they teach, especially in the areas of English and math, and to re-think remediation. RCC has emerged as a leader in both of these areas, and SUNY cites RCC as a model for its new math program called QUANTWAY and our develop
