BRIEF)
Marist College's strong financial position
was affirmed by two financial rating agencies
in
advance of a bond issue on behalf of the
College. Fitch
Ratings, in its initial
rating of
Marist, assigned an "A" rating on new and
outstanding debt issues of the Dutchess
County Industrial Development Agency issued
on behalf of the College. Moody's gave an
upgrade from "A3" to
"A2,"
the equivalent
of the
"A"
rating by Fitch.
This
high rating
follows an
upgrade
of
Marist
bonds last
summer by Moody's from
Baal
to A3.
Fitch
and Moody's both declared the College's
outlook to be
"stable."
Fitch and Moody's
cited several reasons for the assigned credit
ratings
such as
Marist's
stable enrollment
trends, which
have
resulted in solid operating
margins and
healthy
balance sheet
liquidity;
a moderate
debt burden;
and proven
fund-
raising
capabilities. Conservative financial
management and
debt
issuance
policies,
and above average student selectivity, also
underpin the rating.
Marist
College has
named
Dr. Helen
Rothberg
and
Dr. Eitel Lauria
recipients
of its 2007-2008
Faculty Recognition
Award.
Rothberg
is a professor of strategic
management and
Lauria is
an assistant
professor of
information
systems. School
of
Management
Dean Elmore Alexander
acknowledged
Rothberg for
establishing "a
substantial stream of research in the area
of competitive intelligence" and praised her
ability
to
"inform
practitioners and students
while bringing
recognition
to the College."
Lauria was
recognized
for his publication
and presentation list that is "nothing short
of spectacular," according to School of
Computer Science and
Mathematics Dean
Roger Norton.
"Dr.
Lauria
has nearly 20 ac-
cepted papers in some of the top-ranked
journals and conferences in the world."
In
November the
president
of Argentina,
Cristina
Fernandez
de Kirchner, presented
Argentina's most prestigious IT award, the
Sadosky
Prize,
to
Lauria
in Buenos Aires for
his paper, "Statistical Machine Learning for
Network Intrusion
Detection:
A Data Quality
Perspective,"
co-authored with Giri Tayi of
the University at Albany.
Marist's Board ofTrustees voted unanimously
in November to bestow the title of professor
emeritus on
Gerard Cox,
associate profes-
sor of English, and
PeterO'Keefe,
associate
professor of history.

MARIST
MAGAZINE
More
than 400 alumni,
friends,
parents,
f acuity,
staff, and trustees
of
Marist
gathered
at the
Metropolitan
Club
Nov.
9 in New
York
City
for
the public
kickoff
of The
Campaign
for Marist.




















A
college is all about students, so it was
only fitting
that the party
couldn't start
until
the students arrived.
More than
400
alumni, friends, parents,
faculty, staff,
and trustees
of Marist had
gathered at the Metropolitan Club Nov.
9
in
New
York
City for
the
public
kickoff
of The
Campaign
for Marist, the
College's
first compre-
hensive
capital campaign
in
61 years. The
Marist
Singers Chamber Choir was to open
the
festivities, bm their bus
was
delayed in
Friday
rush-hour
traffic.
Nobody at
the
party seemed
to
mind.
Guests had
plenty
of people to talk
to,
and a
lot
to
eat,
drink,
and look at-not only two
large
video screens offering a slide show of campus
and student
images but
also
the
magnificent,
historic
club itsel[, which was designed by
Stanford White and built in 1894.
The Marist Singers were worth waiting
for. The 36-member choir entered
the hall
performing "Bonse Aba," a
traditional
Zambian
song of celebration, accompanied
by
a student
playing a
djembe,
an African hand-drum. The
performance
was a natural segue
to
what Marist
Trustee and Campaign Chair Tim Brier '69,
stepping to
llhe
podium, wanted
to
say.
"I can't 1hink of a better, timelier example
of what Mar
ist
College
is
all about: harnessing
the talents, hard work, and service commitment
of young
me:n
and women to make
their
mark
on our world and change it for the better," he
said.
Brier, a co-founder of Priceline.com, then
opened the program by describing how
his
career
had
been directed by
the
experience
of spending his
junior
year in Europe as pan
of Marist's
inaugural
Study Abroad Program.
"Many of you have had your own special
encounter with a Marist person or situation that
was
transformational
to your life. For those of us
who have gone
to
Marist or have
been
inrnlved
in
some other way ... we really are who we are
because
of ciur
time
there."
Marist President Dennis
J.
Murray
then
told
the
crnwd
that
every great educational
institution
in America has had a
pivotal
point
in its history when those who
loved the
institution
made extraordinary commitments
to ensure
its:
future success. "Marist is now at
such a pivotal point as we
launch
our capital
campaign. The Campaign for Marist will be a
transformational
moment in
the
life of our College."
The
president
said the
campaign would improve every
facet of the
institution
and
target
the College's
endowment.
Endowment
is the
capital that
provides ongoing income for
an
institution.
Rob
Dyson, chair of
Marist's
Board
ofTrustees, then
announced the campaign goal
of $75
million. He
added that

goal in gifts from trustees,
friends, and alumni during the initial, Silent
Phase of the campaign.
The success of the campaign, he said, is
"not just about large gifts from generous
donors.
although we are grateful for them.
It is about
a vote of confidence for

Please consider your love
for Marist and the impact the College has had
on your own life and could potenttally
have
on
another student's life when you too are asked to
make a commitment to the Campaign.
"It's up to all of us to give back-and, in
turn, mo,·e Marist forward. Please be a part

The
Campaign
for Marist
Constructing
and Expanding
Academic
Facilities
The construction and expansion of new
academic facilities
that
has marked Marist's
transformation over the past 30 years will
continue
to
be
important to meeting the needs
of students.
Among projects The Campaign for Marist
will support is the Hancock Technology
Center,
named
for Marist's Board of Trustees vice chair,
Ellen
Hancock,
and her husband.Jason, who
provided
the leadership
gift. The center will be
not
only a hub for information technology but
also a facility where students from all academic
disciplines
can learn and experience how
technology
plays
a role in their particular field
of study. The new facility will contain smart
classrooms.
a 250-seat presentation center,
seminar rooms. research space, compULer
labs,
and a
data
center.

consolidate Marist's
technology research,
teaching, and training
activities while strengthening the College's
expertise
in
the areas of large-scale
data centers,
distributed networking, cyber-security, virtual
servers, open source software,
delivery
of rich
media content, and e-learning environments.
The campaign will also enhance other
academic facilities on campus and will
include
construction of an
lnvestmem Institute
and a
trading room for the School of Management.

Faculty
Chairs
and Enhancing
Academiic
Support
to Retain
and
Recruit
!First-Rate
Professors
A campaign priority will be
funding
faculty
chairs and efforts to
retain
and recruit
talented
professors.
Faculty chairs help distinguish the College
as a
leader
in
the
field
in
which the chair is
established. They can bring special prestige
to the
College's academic image.
They
offer
Marist an opportunity to add
to
its faculty an
eminent a1uthority
in the
designated field that
the
institution otherwise could not afford.
Marist's first endowed chair was the Dr.
Richard
Foy Chair
in
Computer Science,
named
in
honor of Dr.
Richard
Foy
'50,
president emeritus of the College.
The
chair
was co-founded in 1979 by Marist
Trustee
Arthur Brook and the McCann Foundation,
under the leadership
of
John
J.
Gartland
Jr.
who was
president
of
the
McCann Foundation
and a Ma1rist
trustee.
The Foy Chair
recognizes
a special interest
and expertise of its
namesake. It
was
largely
through
Richard Foy's efforts
that
all of
the
College's
key
administrative offices adapted
their functions
to
computer use
beginning
as
early as 1967. Throughout the 21 years
he
served
as Marist's
president,
he chose to teach at least
one
undergraduate
course
in
mathematics or
computer science during each semester.
Attracting
Talented
Students
by Ensuring
Access
to Marist
Through
Endowed
Scholarships
and Increased
Financial
Aid
The College's
leadership has
always strived
to keep a Marist education high
quality
and
accessible. Now
more than
ever, the support of
others
is
needed
to
make this possible.
As a
relatively
young
institution
with a
modest endowment,
Marist
is very
tuition-
reliant. Under
the
leadership of
President
Dennis]. Murray,
astute fiscal
management
has
provided Marist with a strong
financial base
and continuous balanced budgets. Meeting
enrollment goals, though,
remains
paramount,
and
financial
assistance is especially important
for
the
average
Marist
family.
There
is no
greater need at Marist
than
helping students finance
their
education.
Increasing
tuition costs coupled with decreasing
state and federal aid for
private
colleges
have
caused Marist to dramatically
increase
its
institutional aid budget since
1990.
More
than ever, endowment
is
needed
to provide
a
permanent base from
which scholarship funds
can be
drawn
reliably.
Scholarships offer a
range
of
naming
opportunities.
The
nearly 100 scholarships
offered at
Marist
include ones
that
remember
a
loved
one such
as
a spouse or child;
honor
a
parent;
dedicate
funds
to
promising
students
in a specific discipline; encourage
leadership
development and community service;
pay
tribute
to
faculty or staff members;
honor
trustees;
support students
in
certain geographic
areas; and support students attending high
schools administered by Marist Brothers or
where
the Brothers
have a
presence.
Many Marist scholarships
are
designated
for
upperclass
students. Scholarships designated
for incoming freshmen can
help make Marist
an affordable choice.



















Enriching
Student
Life Through
Support
for Music,
Art, Theatre,
and Athletics
The campaign will enhance
the
collegiate
experience outside the classroom by supporting
the
arts and athletics.
The campaign
has
already
made a
significant
impact on athletics at Marist with the
construction and
dedication
of
Tenney
Stadium at
Leonidoff
Field (please see page 9).
Construction of the stadium started in October
2006 and was completed in October of 2007.
The
architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill LLP designed and oversaw the
project,
which enhanced and developed
two
key areas of
the facility-the playing surface and spectator
seating. The stadium is now
used
by five varsity
programs-football,
men's soccer, women's
soccer, men's
lacrosse,
and women's
lacrosse-as
well as
by
intramural and club
teams.
The facility
also has improved the spectator experience for
all students and
parents.
The capital campaign will also fund
renovation
of the James
J.
McCann Center. Plans
call
for refurbishment
of seating and locker
rooms that
have
remained
unchanged since
they
were built 25 years ago. At that
time,
Marist
athletes numbered
125
and were mainly
men.
The upgrades would serve
the
now 600 male
and
female
Marist athletes. Improvements
to
gym/track seating will
provide
more
attractive
and comfortable accommodations, potentially
increasing revenue from
athletic and cultural
events.
Campaign support for arts programs would
include
appropriate rehearsal space for Marist's
Music
Department,
sorely needed by the
College's much-lauded
bands
and choirs.
Creating
·"Centers
of Excellence"
in Each
o1r
Marist's
Seven
Schools
A successful campaign will also mean the
development
of more
"centers
for excellence"
at
Marist-concentrations
of expertise,
resources,
and services
that not
only
foster teaching
and
learning,
but also share the
results
of their work
to
benefit
external communities.
One such existing center
is the
Marist
College
Institute
for Public Opinion,
now in
its 30th
year.
MIPO
becomes most visible
in
a
presidentia I election
year as sLUdent
pollsters
take
the pulse of both
the region
and the nation
and
results
are circulated to
the media. But
students al:so conduct public opinion polls on
matters
besides
politics,
resulting in data
that
decision-makers can use to shape policy.
The
Hu,dson
River
Valley
Institute is
another
Marist-based center
that
does valuable work
for the community.
HRVI,
which celebrates
its sixth anniversary in June, is
dedicated
to
studying and promoting
the Hudson River
Valley and
1to
providing educational resources
for heritage
tourists,
scholars, elementary
school
educators, environmental organizations,
the
business
community, and
the
general public.
Its
many
projects
include the publication of the
academic
journal
Hudson
River
Valley
Review
and
the
management
of a dynamic
digital library
and regional portal.

Ensuring
that Marist
Continues
to Support
the Less
Fortunate
Through
Campus
Ministry
and
Community
Service
Programs
Marist
is known
for
its tradition
of service,
a legacy of
the
founding Marist Brothers.
This
tradition
continued during the fall 2007
semester as the campus
responded
to a variety
of Campus Ministry
programs.
In
November,
Mari st contributed more than
$6,500 through annual
Hunger
Month activities.
The
money
was donated
to
organizations
that
help
in
the
fight
against hunger.
In
addition,
students
filled
and distributed 50 boxes of food
to
families in Dutchess County as part of their
annual Thanksgiving food drive.
In
December,
faculty,
staff, and swdents
donated
more than
700 presents as part of the annual Giving Tree
project,
bringing a
merrier
Christmas to 31
families, including 83 children,
in
the City of
Poughkeepsie.
Service
is
also a major part of activities of
other
organizations
on campus. For example,
in
October the Student Government Association
sponsored a walkathon
for
Special Olympics
Miles for Medals,
raising $17,000.
Approximately
450 people participated
in the
event,
held
in
the
McCann Center.
S
upport for
The Campaign
for
Marist will allow Marist to continue fulfilling its mission,
sayi;
Robert
L.
West, vice
president
for college advancement.
"Everyone
who's been
associat,ed with Marist takes pride in
the
College's transformation over the
past
30 years.
They
ali;o recognize
the
importance of increasing Marist's endowment for the future.
The
Campaign for Marist is a new
and
different undertaking because it centers on
people-
faculty and students-as much, if not more than, on buildings."

The
Campaign
for Marist
What
is an Endowment?
C
ollege and university endowment funds
are
important
sources of revenue.
Endowments are very complex.
They
usually
consist of many-sometimes thousands-
of different
funds.
Most of these
funds
are
subject
to
restrictions
that donors
impose and
that
institutions
are legally
required to
uphold.
Endowment funds
are managed to
provide
a
permanent source of
income to
support
the
teaching,
research,
and public ser\'ice
missions of institutions.
Charitable donations are the primary
source of
funds
for endowments.
Donors
typically restrict
their gifts to specific
purposes such as establishing student
scholarships, creating professorships,
instituting new programs,
or constructing
new facilities. Some donors provide
unrestricted gifts
that
enable
institutions
to
support general operations or special
initiatives.
Endowments
typically
grow
over
time
and
through
a combination of
donations
and investment
returns.
Colleges and uni,·ersities spend
endowment
income
on a wide variety
of purposes. At institutions with large
endowments, endowment spending
contributes significant resources
toward
their operating budgets; in some cases, it
is the
largest
source of revenue for
the institution.
Thus
endowment spending helps to
keep
tuition below
the level
that would be necessary
if tuition
alone
paid
the true cost of educating
a student.
A typical college or university endowment
includes many individual
funds
that
are
restricted
(most often by
donors, but
also
by
the
institution)
to
student financial aid.
Faculty chairs or professorships
are another leading
purpose for
which
individual
endowment
funds
are dedicated. As with
endowment funds for student
scholarships, investment income
earned by faculty endowment
funds is
used annually
to fund
the professorships. Endowed
professorships
are often awarded
to leading scientists and scholars
who are contributing significantly
to teaching and research in their
respective disciplines.
Some alumni and
donors
make charitable endowment
gifts
for
the
restricted
purpose
of supporting intercollegiate
athletics.
Colleges
and
uni\'ersities
use
investment
income from
such
gifts to fund athletic scholarships, facilities,
salaries, and equipment.

at Leonidoff
Field
Is Dedicated
A
new chapter
in
Marist athletics began
on Oct. 6, 2007, with
the
dedication
of Tenney Stadium at
Leonidoff
Field. The
event, which LOok
place during
Homecoming
&
Reunion
Weekend, drew 4,621 spectators
including many alumni and local government
officials.
During the opening festi\'ities, Marist
Trustee
Tim
Tenney, CEO of Pepsi Cola of the

addition, a
$50,000 grant for
the
stadium was received
from
the
j.
M. McDonald Foundation. Marist
Trustee
Pat
Lavelle '73, president and CEO of
Audiornx Corp., and Audio\·ox
donated several
nat-screen TVs for the stadium's press
box
as
well as
for
other campus
locations.
The stadium construction project consisted
of
remo\'ing the former
grandstand and press
booth
along
the
west side of
the field
and
building
a
new
precast grandstand structure
along with a modern press booth,
media

training
room,
team
and officials'
dressing
rooms,
restmoms,
concessions, and storage
space were incorporated in
the
area
located
under the spe:ctalOr
seating. The
new
seating
includes
1,7H
chair-backs in
the
grandstand,
with addition.al seating located on
the

From
the Wheelhouse
to1
the White
1
House
An unforgettable
internship
at the White ~louse
has shaped
future plans for political
science
major
Vinny
O'Neill
'09.
V
inny
O'Neill Jr. was
measuring
a
lobster's
carapace on the 42-foot
Rebecca
E.B.
in
the middle of Long Island Sound when
the
White House called.
He had his hands
full
at
that
moment with
his summer
job
working for
the
New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation on
its
western Long Island Sound
lobster
survey.
So he wrote the caller's number down on a
cardboard
bait
box and
returned
the call
later.
IL
was
then
he
learned
that the White House
wanted to interview
him
for the internship he
had
applied for. The
interview
wok place
that
night by
phone.
The next time
the White House called,
the
Marist junior was
installing
a bilge pump on a
boat in the DEC
equipment yard. When it came
to boats, he
had
been
the
go-to guy all summer;
he
grew
up
around
the marine
business his
father owned in Bohemia, N.Y.
It didn't take him
long to
accept
the
offer
of an
internship in the
White House Office of
Presidential Correspondence. "For a political
science major,
it
was the pinnacle of success,
the
be-all and end-all," says O'Neill.
The
internship,
which he heard about
through
American University's WashingLOn
Semester program, proved
to be
a full-time
commitment.
From September
to mid-December
2007,
O'Neill
lived
on American
University's
campus
in
Washingwn, D.C.-one of the few
students who left his dorm each
day
wearing a
suit-and worked at
the
White
House
Monday
through
Friday from 8 a.m. until 7
p.m.
and
sometimes
on Saturdays. Known as
"Intern
Vinny,"
he
was
the
only
intern
assigned to the
presidential
writers;
during
his
time
there
he
took
pant in
the composition of proclamations,
executiv,e
orders, and correspondence to heads
of state :and often assisted staff members by
proofreading
their work before a final edit.
As a
Republican,
he was
in
his element.
"Every
ti
me
1 walked out [of the West Wingl,
I was awed."
He met President George W. Bush several
times and found him LO
be a very nice man who
would ask
how
he was doing and
thank
him
for
his
hard work.
He
also met former Kansas
senator Bob Dole, who co-chairs the President's
Commission on Care for America's Returning
Wounded Warriors; Vice President Richard
Cheney; Secretary of Homeland Security
Michael Chenoff; and White House Chief of
Staff
Joshua
Bolten. He watched Marine One
arrive with
the
president on board.
He
and eight
other interns sat in
the
Presidential Box during
a concert by
the
National Symphony at
the
Kennedy-
Center, tickets that arrived
in
a special
envelope
bearing
the
presidential seal
Through the internship, he made contacts,
earned ireferences, and forged
many
strong
friendships.
"We
spent so many hours together.
Even
though
it's the White House, it's still an
office. We have fun just like [employees
in) any
other building."
Comiing
back
to
college
after the internship
was
difficult,
he says.
"I
miss it every day.
lt's
hard to go from doing
to
practicing.
I
was
immersed in the world of politics."
"Intern
Vinny" at the White House
Still
in
Washington mode,
he
checks the
online news networks
10
times a
day. He
returned
LO
D.C.
over the Christmas
break
to
visit his
friends.
They wok him
to
watch
Marine One
land
on the South Lawn, where
the president greeted
him
and paused for a
photo.
A former volunteer
for the Rudy
Giuliani
campaign, O'Neill
hopes to
land a
position
with
the
John McCain campaign
this
summer in
Washington, D.C.
If
the
Republican
candidate
wins, he will try for a
job
in
the
White
House
after college graduation.
If
not, he will go to
law school.
His White House internship showed
him
how
the real
world works, he says.
"I
can
honestly say it was
the
best experience of my
life."

Endowed
Scholarships
An Enduring
Gift
A dream
of the Foy
Brothers
four decades
ago, the Peter
and Virginia
Foy
Scholarship
endowment
has grown
from
a
gift of $5,195
to
nearly
$112,000
today
and has helped more
than
30
students
complete
their
college education.
~e
Foy
Brothers-Richard
and
Peter
I
:.:_were
born three
years apart in the 1920s
in
a house on
237th
Street
in
the Wakefield
section of
the
Bronx. Their
mother,
the former
Virginia McKeon,
was a native New Yorker
with
family roots in
Ireland. Their
father,
Peter,
emigrated from
Ireland
and
fought
with the
U.S. Army
in
France
in
World War
I.
His
sons
recall his
personal diary describing
how horses
pulled ammunition wagons on the battlefield
in 1918.
Peter
Sr.'s early ambition was to be a jockey,
but he
grew to
be
six-foot-two.
(Son
Peter
topped
him
at six-foot-six;
Richard
stopped at six-foot-
one.)
To
support
his
family-and that term came
to
include
many
relatives
from Ireland-the
senior Foy
became
an enterprising businessman
who established 14
neighborhood
grocery
stores,
mostly in Yonkers
and the vicinity.
While the introduction
of supermarkets
in 1938
brought an end to
Royal
Food Stores,
the
Foy
parents'
example of
hard
work, commitment
to
family,
and
faith in
God created enduring
values for their sons.
Peter
served in the
Marines
during World
War
11
and after
his
discharge enrolled at MIT
to
study electrical engineering on
the
GI bill.
His
career path took
him
into the emerging
field of computers, and he
became
a lifelong
Californian.
Richard
entered the Marist Brothers
graduated from Marist College, and earned
~
PhD in
mathematics
from
the
Courant Institute
at New
York
University.
Appointed president of
Marist College at 28, he was regarded
then
as
the youngest
college president in
the
country.
ln
time,
Richard
left the
Marist order but
remained
as Marist's leader
for
21 years.
Among
President Foy's many challenges
was
to create a sound
financial
base for his young
institution. Older colleges had well-established
endowments, and it was clear
that
some effort
should
be
made to start such a permanent
fund
for
Marist.
The
Foy
brothers
teamed up
-Richard researching funds
at other schools
and
determining
a good
model
for
the
College,
Peter
making
the
first contribution.
"I

to
it.
I
take full
credit," says
Peter laughingly,
adding, "Of course, he was
a
Brother."
In 1964,
Peter
and his wife, Eileen, gave
$5,195
to i:nitiate
the Peter and Virginia
Foy Scholarship, named
in honor
of
Peter's
and
Richard's late parents.
The criterion for
Marist's first endowed scholarship, which has
endured for 44 years, was to
help
students
with significant financial
need
achieve a Marist
education. Over
the
years,
more
than 30 Foy
Scholars have been able to do just
that.
The
$5,195 given so many years ago,
to
help
a young college and to
honor beloved
parents,
has grown
through prudent investment
into
a fund valued today at $lll,639.09. The
endowment currently enables Marist
to
annually
award a $5,500 scholarship, as well as to
continue
building
the
fund
for
the
future.
"Our
fat her received the equivalent of
a sixth grade education in
Ireland,
and our
mother
graduated from Newtown
High
in
Queens,"
Richard
recalls. "Both of
them
were
caring and
imtelligent,
but
that
was
all the
opportunity available
to them.
Today college
is
the expectation. Our
parents
stressed the
importance
of
higher
education
to
us, and
we
both pursued it.
The Peter and Virginia
Foy Scholar:;hip
is
designed
to
ensure
that
bright young people
like
our
parents
are able
to
complete
their
college education-and
at Marist."
■
Establishing a Scholarship
at Marist College
D
uring
The
Campaign
for Marist, one
of
the College's highest priorities is
to
increase
scholarship endowment.
The College
has
established a
minimum
gift
level
of
$25,000 for a donor
to
found a
named
endowed scholarship. A donor
may
establish
a scholarship
to
support students in a specific
major or
to help
students where
the
need is
greatest. The scholarship may
be
named for
the donor,
a loved one, or as a memorial.
An individual scholarship
fund
becomes
pan of
Marist's
overall
endowment
for purposes
of
financial management, but
each fund is
individually tracked with respect
to
principal
and annual award. A scholarship's annual
award is based on 5 percent of
the
current
principal
's
value for
the
individual fund and
is
derived
from
annual
interest.
The principal is
never invaded, with
interest
beyond 5
percent
reinvested.
Endowment
investment
is
regularly
reviewed
by
Marist trustees.

team earns its:
third consecutive
trip to the NCAA
Tournament,
men's
and women's
swimming
and diving pulll
off upsets to win the Metro
Atlantic
Athletic
Conference
Championships,
and women's
soccer
arid football secure regular-season
MAAC
titles.
A
nother year, another Metro Atlantic
ffAthletic
Conference Tournament gone
by
with
the
Marist women's basketball team
winning
the
championship. Sounds like just
another ordinary year, right?
Well, this year has been anything but
ordinary for
the
Red Foxes, who continue
to
pile
up
victories at a record pace while gaining
more attention at the national
level.
On March 9, Marist earned its third
consecutive trip
to
the NCAA Tournament
and fourth
in the
past five years with an 83-63
triumph over
Iona in
the MAAC
Championship
game.
In
Baton Rouge, La., Marist
defeated
DePaul 76-57 March 22
in
the first NCAA
round before falling to LSU 68-49 March 24
in
the
second round, ending the Red Foxes'
22-game
winning streak,
the longest
in the
country. Marist finished
the
season with a
program-best
record of 32-3.
The excellence achieved by
the team
was
displayed in the numerous honors earned by
the
team's
players and coaches. Brian Giorgis
was
named
MAAC Coach of the Year for
the
fourth time
in
five years. Rachele Fitz
'10
earned MAAC Player of the Year honors just
a year after winning MAAC Rookie of the
Year.
Erica
Allenspach
'11
followed in Fitz's
footsteps by being named MAAC
Rookie of the
Year,
and
Lynzeejohnson
'lO
was recognized
as the conference's top performer coming off
the bench as she was
lauded
as Sixth Player
of
the
Year. Sarah Smrdel '08 was named
MAAC Tournament Most Valuable Player,
while Fitz and Nikki Flores
'08
earned MAAC
All-Tournament Team honors.
The outstanding team and
individual
achievements were not lost on
media
and
coaches alike across the country. For
the
first
time
in program history,
the Red
Foxes were
ranked
in
the Associated
Press
poll and
the
ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll during the
season. Entering the NCAA
Tournament, Marist
was ranked 22nd
in
both.
On March 6, Marist was named the MAAC
winner of
the
"Pack
the
House" challenge, an
NCAA
initiative
designed
to
increase auendance
at women's
basketball
games. In an effort
spearheaded by Assistant Athletics Director
Travis Tellitocci,
Marist sold out its Jan. 25 game
against Siena as 3,200 fans filled the McCann
Center and were
treated
to a 78-48 victory
for
the
Red
Foxes.

The storylines in the 2007-08 school year
through
early March have been plentiful.
Men':s Basketball
The men's basketball team reached the MAAC
Tournament semifinals for
the
third consecmive
year and
put
together a record of 18-14. The Red
Foxes have had
the
best record in conference
play
(3,7-17)
of any team
in the
MAAC
over
the
past three
seasons.
While the Red Foxes' starting
lineup
generally consisted of four seniors, newcomers
in
the
backcourt
offered
plenty
of hope for the
future. Freshman
guard Jay Ga\'in led the team
in
sco:ring at 12.3
points
per game and was
named MAAC
Co-Rookie
of the Year,
becoming
the first Red Fox to earn MAAC Rookie of
the Ye:ar
honors. Red-shin sophomore David
Devezi
n
stepped
into
the lineup at point guard
and started all but one game, also finishing
third on the team
in
scoring at
just
under 10
points
per
game.
Men',s and Women's
Swim1ming and Diving
After a
regular
season
in
which the men's
team
lost a pair of conference
meets
and the women
lost one as well,
neither

Music
and science have been
passions
since childhood
for each
of the young Gupta
brothers.
Now Robert,
after graduating
from Marist
at age 17 and
earning a master's
in music
at
Yale, is the youngest violinist in
the Los
Angeles
Philharmonic.
Akshar
Patrick
will graduate
this May
at 17 and is headed for
a master's
in public
health and
then medical
school.
M
arist senior Akshar
Patrick
Gupta
may

biggest
fan-and
earliest critic. While
Roben
prac-
ticed his violin at an age when most
kids
were
just learning to tie their shoes, Akshar, who
is
three
years
his
junior, often sat contentedly,
eating
Cheerios. lfhis brother
made a mistake,
Akshar would look
up from
his cereal and say,
"Wrong
note!"
When
he
was old enough
to play
himselr,
Akshar took
up
the violin, and
then the
piano,
primarily so the two could play duets.
"Growing
up
we played tons of
recitals
wgether," says
Robert,
who
last June
became the youngest
member of
the
Los Angeles Philharmonic at age
19.
"He's
a
phenomenally
gifted musician.
He's
completely embraced
the
amount or hard work
and drive it
takes
to go into the sciences."
"!

the fact that a violin and
piano
can
collaborate," says Akshar, who will graduate
from Marist this
spring at age
17
with a
major
in biology
and
minors
in chemistry and music.
And while
his
sights are set on
medical
school-
"!
hope to
practice in something that
involves
pediatrics
because I've always wanted
to
work
with children,"
he
says-Akshar
hopes
the
opportunity to
return
to the stage with his
brother
will
present itself
soon.
"I
like
to
think
of
my music
as an enhancement
in
my life,"
he
adds.
"I
don't
like
to use the word
hobby."
As Chandana Gupta
tells
the story,
by
the
time
Robert
started nursery school
in
Montgomery, N.Y.,
"he
pretty much knew the
colors and he
knew his
alphabet.
He
couldn't
tell
us he was
bored, but the
only thing we could
let him do independently was to watch TV."
While he sat
passively through
Mister
Rogers'
Neighborhood
and its ilk on
PBS,
whenever a
musical
program
came on,

his hands going all over the place,"
she says.
"We
couldn't
buy
a $50,000
piano,
but we
got
him a small keyboard." Not long after, Robert
switched to violin,
"and
he
took
off."
"It
became
very serious,
something
that
stemmed from a very deep
love
that
I
had for
playing
this
music," says
Robert,
who
enrolled
in the
Juilliard
School's
Pre-College
Division
at age 6 and
performed his
first
solo
two
years
later.
His music took
him
across
the
United
States and Europe, as well as to Israel,
India,
and
Japan.
While he was
flourishing musically,
he
found
little
support
in
his home school
district.
After six years of traditional school and skipping
a grade as a 12-year-old,
Robert did well enough
on
his SATs
to win a scholarship to Mount Saint
Mary College
in
Newburgh,
NY
There he
dove
into his
other passion-biology-and
by his
third summer was invited
to
do spinal cord
research at
Hunter
College
in
Manhattan.
During his sophomore and
junior
years,
he
also began studies at the Manhattan
Conservatory of Music.
"My
parents were
commuting
me
back and forth every other
day,"
says
Robert.
(By her own estimation, Chandana
was
driving
60,000
to
70,000 miles each year
taxiing
her children
to
their schools.)
"It
became
insanely
difficult
for them."
Then Akshar, who had been home-schooled
!
while also studying piano and composition at
-
Juilliard, transferred from Mount Saint Mary
~
to
Marist.
"One of
the things
that
drew
me to
i
,J
Marist
was that
I
could
be
a music minor," says ~.._ __

Akshar, who completed that course of study with
"Akshar

says his mother,

He
is now finishing his studies while

"HE!
knows what
he
wants."
waiting to hear
back
from graduate schools
(he
plans to pursue his
master's in public
health
en
route to a career in health
management).
According to
his mother,
it took a little
coaxing to convince Robert, who was 15 credits
away
from
graduating from Mount St. Mary's,
to transfer
to Marist.
But
the
College's
strengths
in
the sciences, coupled with its library and
scenic
locale
along the Hudson River, went a
long
way toward
persuading him.
"Robert
is
a
book
addict," Chandana notes.
"If
you give
him a lot of
books, he
will vacuum the house
for me."
Temporarily, at least, music t0ok an
intermission during
Robert's year at Marist.
He
studied
the
neurotoxicity of
platinum
group
metals with a group that
presented
its
research
at a conference
in
Washington,
D.C.,
and
researched
Parkinson's disease at a
laboratory
at Harvard
run
by
famed neuroscientist Dennis
Selkoe.
"I
wanted
to
have that breadwinning
degree-the one where it would have facilitated
my
interests to
become a doctor or
researcher,"
says Robert, who
has
long been fascinated
with
the
healing capacity of music.
"But
I
loved
playing
so much
because
it
came from
something
deeper inside.
It
was something
I
needed to do."
After finishing
his
degree,
Robert
strongly
considered
going straight to
medical
school,
but
instead enrolled in a master's of
music
program
at
Yale,
where he completed his second degree
last spring. And
it
was there that his
journey
to
the
LA
Philharmonic began
last
May.
"I
didn't
think I had a chance of winning
an audition," admits Robert, who was invited to
Los
Angeles to
try
out for one of two openings
at violin. He went
through
two
rounds
of
blind auditions, where
the
committee made
its
decisions
based
solely on the music, before
being called
back
for a third, decisive day.
"I
don't
like
eating very heavily before an
audition or a
p,erformance,"
Robert says, so
the
final
day
of auditions he ate an omelet in the
morning
and
at
cup of yogurt in the afternoon
before going on at 5:30 p.m.-90
minutes
past
his
expected call time. A second, unscreened
round
followed around 7:45, when the then-
starving
teenager
saw the audition committee
and conductor for the first time. "I was so
exhausted
I
oouldn't even feel
nervous,"
he
recalls.
"I
just wanted to go om and play."
(Afterward,
an assistant slipped him several
small
plates
of food
that
had been prepared
for the
judges.)
His
last
c.illback came at 10:30 p.m. An
hour
later,
they announced
the two
winners:
Robert and
Russian-born
David Chernyavsky.
Three performances
into
his trial week, Robert
was offered the job. He
made
his professional
debut, complete with fireworks, with the LA
Phil at the Hollywood Bowl on July 2.
"It's
a very welcoming group, and they
didn't have to
be,"
says
Robert,
who
is
the
orchestra's youngest member by about eight
years. Following a glowing profile of Robert
by
Los Angeles
Times
columnist
Steve Lopez in
January-"I wasn't sure whether I wanted to
interview
him, clone
him
or strangle
him," Lopez
wrote-the wunderkind violinist took his share
of ribbing from his fellow performers.
"There
are some great characters in this orchestra-
some amazing people," he says.
"But
they can
rip on you,
that's
for sure."
While
he
has his hands full
right
now
learning the LA Philharmonic's repertoire-a
three-year task, at least-Robert hopes
10
get
back
to
science
somewhere
down the road.
"If
that opportunity makes itself available, I'll go
for it.'' Meanwhile,
Akshar-who last performed
with Robert at the Grand Montgomery
Chamber
Music Series
in
May 2007-hopes that he and
his brother will
someday
live
closer again,
so
that
"we can share our children's childhoods
and
our
families."

Gina

Stern
'99

Liberty

Terminal
A of

everything from hair cutting, color, and styling
to manicures, pedicures, waxing, massages,

The
company
has
63
full-time
and
five
part-time
employees,
and revenues
in 2007
were
more
than $1.3 million.
In 2006
Stern was one of20entrepreneurs
chosen out of almost 500 applicants
to
participate in "Make Mine a Million$ Business,"
a program
to
help women whose small
businesses have potential. The distinction
has
led
to TV, print, and online media coverage
including an interview on The Mantel Williams
Show.
She is also an inspirational speaker and
has founded a program to help at-risk youth
realize
their dreams.
The Last Stop
Stern has
had to
chisel
her
own
route
up,
carving a
foothold
each step of the way.
Growing up in the Bronx, she was an A
student through
the
ninth grade at
ThomasC.
GiordanojuniorHigh. Upon her sophomore
year, the school
district reorganized,
splitting
up
longtime
schoolmatesamongseveral high
schools. She was placed at
Harry
S.
Truman
High
School, an hour from her home, where
cliques had already formed, where teachers,
she says, were unenthusiastic, and where she
was
in the
racial minority. After witnessing
a gang-related beating in a stairwell one
day,
she and other student witnesses we
re
escorted
home
for security reasons and transferred the
next
day
to
another school, Walton High.
The
events stunned her.
Home life,
meanwhile, included a number
of difficulties as her family struggled in many
respects. Circumstances sometimes made it
an effort
to
go to school each day despite
the
pep
talks
she gave herself as she
left
home
each morning.





















Walton was "the
last
stop"
for teachers,
she
says, and one of
them told her
she might as well
drop out. So she did, in the eleventh grade.
The
sudden
death
of her grandfather from
a
heart
attack
led
her to go to California.
Her
brother's dire illness related
to
a rare
heart
condition brought her back to New York. His
death
motivated her
to
achieve.
"1 strive to
prove him
right about
me,"
she
says
now.
"He always
told me
l was special,
that
1 had
greatness inside of me.
He
told
me
l
would
do
big things
in
this world."
You Start with a Swatch
Unsatisfied with where she was
in her
Ii
fe,
she
had
enrolled, at age 25, in Marist's
Fashion
Program. "Marist College as a whole
really
embraced
me, nurtured me
and
helped meto
grow into the
person 1
am
today.
lt
was the
right
place
for me
to be.
The
environment
and faculty held such standards
that
they
quietly molded
me."
The Fashion Program was
demanding,
the caliber of the instruct0rs
high. There
were
deadlines
and an expectation that she would
perform. Ripping
out seams, she says, was "an
amazing, character-building experience.
"You get
to
the point where you
trust
your
creative ability."
Fashion
faculty
member Sue DeSanna
remembers
Gina as an extraordinary student:
talented, enthusiastic,
responsible,
and creative.
"She worked very hard both
in
school and at
jobs to
pay for
her
tuition.
As a non-traditional
student, she was
more
mature
than
the others,
but
managed to integrate
very well with
her
classmates.
She was a good cook
-
she
would often
bring
an electric pan and food
to cook a
late-night
snack for her classmates.
I always enjoyed
her
sense of humor, which
was often brought
forth
LO
counter a stressful
situation."
Stern's
first job
was with John Anthony
Couture, which discovered her during Marist's
Silver Needle Fashion Show at the Time
Life
Stern
(center)
1talks with cosmetologist Yuri Gonzalez (left) and massage therapist Jose Aponte
inside d_parture spa.
Building
in
New York City
in 1999. It
was her
dream
job: cutting
patterns,
working with
the
best
fabrics, embellishing, assisting with
the creation of gowns that sold for
tens
of
thousands. On
the bus ride to
work she read
Think and Grow
Rich.
Then one
day
at home,
her platform
sandals
caused
her
lO
stumble and fall
down
a flight of
stairs.
Her therapy
called for
bed rest
for three
weeks
plus
daily chiropractic visits, a regimen
that
led
LO
the
loss
of
her
job.
lt
was while
recuperating
that she wrote
a 28-page
business plan
for what
became
d_
parture spa, drawing on
her
Fashion
Program
experience of building
things from
concept
to
creation.
The
concept was inspired by a
six-hour flight delay at Newark
during
which
she walked around
the
terminal
trying
to
make
the
best use of the time.
After several months of trying-"with zero
network,"
she
;adds-she
got a foot
in
the door
to present her idea
LO
Newark airport
retail
developers.
They liked
the
concept but had
already
leased
all their space. Two weeks later,
however, they
called.
They had redesigned
their merchandising
mix
and offered
her
the
last
space availlable.
Still paying off her college
loan,
she obtained
a personal
loan
to pay for construction of the
spa. "All
things
are possible," she says simply.
Again, she recalls
her Fashion Program
education.
"You
start with a swatch.
l
had the
focus,
I
had the passion, like I
did
when I had
a collection."
She opened her first
d_parture
spa at
Newark Liberty International Airport in
Terminal C
in
November 2000.
In
2003 she
opened
two more
spas:
the
one in Terminal B
at Newark and
the
one at Orlando.
Make Mine a Million
In
October 2006 Stern
became
a finalist
in
the "Make Mine a Million
$
Business"
program sponsored
by the
nonprofit Count
Me
ln
for Women's
Independence
and its
partner,
OPEN
from
American Express®.
Count
Me ln
launched
the
program
to
inspire
one
million
women entrepreneurs to reach
annual
revenues
of $1 million
by
2010.
The program
awarded
the
finalists
money,
mentoring, marketing,
business services,
and technology assistance.
lt
made
Stern
realize
that there were not a
lot
of women
in her
position. "The program is
so empowering.
It's
changing
people's lives."
The
spa
in Terminal B of Newark
Liberty International
Airport
She herself hopes to change lives
through
a project she created last year at Union
High
School in Union Township, NJ. Students in the
Trust
Project
are divided
into
groups, and each
group is given $100 via a credit card. The money
is then entrusted for 24 hours
to
an indi\'idual
in each group with
instructions
to spend it
mentally and
repeatedly.
At
the
end of the 24
hours
the
student writes about the experience
and passes the $100 to
the
next student.
~
"I believe
there is
such a thing as the
millionaire
mindset," Stern says. ''The mindset
isn't
necessarily about money. Man)' urban
youth are stricken by circumstances that hm·e
limited
their ability
LO
dream, taken away the
magic
that comes from belie\'ing there are no
limitations
in
this
life.
I
want to inspire that
mindset
in at-risk youth."
This
past
year she changed
her
own
mindset when she advanced
to
a higher le\·el,
"Make Mine a Multimillion$ Business,"
of the
empowerment program. By networking with
women who face the same challenges,
she again
has learned something about herself.
"l had to readjust my vision. 1 wasn't
dreaming big enough. God has steered the ship
all
this
way. Now my challenge
is to listen
even
more closely-to
live
the path
He
has lain for
me-and realize my full
potential."

AUTHORS
James Dziezynski
'98's recently
published
book
Best
Summit
Hikes
in
Colorado
features 50 of
the
best
mountain
hikes in
the
state.
James
spent
plenty
of
time playing
in
the
Catskills, 'Gunks, and Adirondacks
during his
time
at
Marist,
he says.
"It
was
a natural
progression
to
seek out new wildernesi; areas."
Each summit
is included because
of a notable
feature
such as a ghost
mine, airplane
wreckage,
thun-
dering
waterfalls, colorful
floral
meadows,
wildlife, or accessibility.
Some
peaks
offer unique opportu-
nities, such as
a trailhead
accessible
only via a steam-powered railroad.
The
book, published
by
Wilderness
Press,
covers all of Colorado's
major
mountain
ranges from the well-
known Sangre
De
Cristo, Gore,
Sawatch, Indian Peaks, and Maroon
Bell
wilderness areas
to the
lesser-
known Grenadiers, Medicine Bow,
and Outer Sanjuan peaks.
