NEWS & NOTES FROM CAMPUS





























MASTER'S IN GLOBAL
FASHION MERCHANDISING
TO LAUNCH
Maristhasannouncedthelaunch
of a new program: the master of
science degree in global fashion
merchandising. The program has
been created in partnership with
Mod'Spe Paris, a fashion business
school, and will start in fall 2019.
The program is the first of its
kind, with students spending the
majority of their time in Paris.
The 36-credit program is
designed both for undergradu-
ates with backgrounds in fashion,
business, marketing, communica-
tions, or other related fields and
for fashion industry professionals.
Students will spend the fall semes-
ter in Paris; return to New York for
a winter intersession at the Marist
main campus for an executive
seminar series; go back to Paris for
the spring semester; and complete
a summer capstone project. The
curriculum will include mega-
trend analysis, supply chain
management, global business
policy, fashion analytics and tech-
nology, and social responsibility.
The program is also notable
for its structure, which calls for
completion within one calendar
year.
"
Increasingly the fashion indus-
try is looking for more highly
educated professionals, and this
program is responding to that
shift," said Radley Cramer, direc-
tor of the Marist Fashion Program.
"
It's unlike any other program
currently being offered and really
extends what Marist offers in
fashion education. Mod'Spe is a
leading fashion business school,
and this partnership offers the
opportunity for students to
expand their global awareness
and readiness to work in a rapidly
changing industry."
A graduate-level course of
study is a natural next step for
the Fashion Program, which
has been ranked as one of the
top SO global fashion programs
by
Business of Fashion and one
of the top 25 fashion schools
by
CEO World
magazine.

ABOUT THE NORTH CAMPUS HOUSING COMPLEX
Opened in August 2016, the North Campus Housing Complex
accommodates nearly 800 undergraduate students, most of
whom reside in suites with single bedrooms and common living
spaces that include a generously sized living room, kitchenette,
and bathroom. Each of the four buildings features community
study lounges on each floor and a laundry facility. The complex
provides enhanced community space for students, faculty, and
staff. In addition to housing residential students, the fourth build-
ing in the complex boasts a fitness center and satellite dining
facility, making the north campus a vibrant hub of collegiate life.
Designed by the renowned firm Robert
A.M.
Stern Architects,
the complex carries forward Marist's architectural palette of gran-
ite, limestone, and red brick
.
The architects were inspired by the
three historic buildings-Greystone, St. Peter
'
s, and the Kieran
Gatehouse-remaining from the original estate that became
Marist College.
The new facilities are also designed to support academic initia
-
tives beyond the traditional school year such as Marist's summer
Pre-College programs for high school students. The lawns and
open space provide views of the Hudson River. The new complex
also expands Marist
'
s capacity to host conferences and other
large
-
scale events that welcome guests from outside the area,
allowing the College to continue to play a key role as one of the
region's economic engines.

members of the Marist College
Legacy Society and welcomed
new inductees Michael and

Event Reunites Three
from High School Days
This year's annual Legacy
Society celebration proved a
memorable reunion for Dr. John
Wilcox
'
61 and two of his former
students, Dr. Steve Wysowski
'71 and Dr. Terry Mooney '71.
Wilcox taught Wysowski reli-
gion at St. Joseph High School in
Trumbull, CT
.
"
I have vivid memo-
ries of him playing Simon and
Garfunkel music and tying in the
lyrics with what we were reading at
the time, especially
'
The Sounds of
Silence,'" Wysowski recalled.
"
He
was a tremendous inspiration and
motivated me to
[
get] an advanced
terminal degree."
"
A Marist Brother at the time,
John was one of my teachers at
Mount Saint Michael Academy in
the Bronx," said Mooney.
"
He was
an intelligent, kind instructor who
became a role model. We also have a
special connection as both John and
my daughter, Cara, were Fulbright
Scholars." Cara Mooney is a member
of Marist's Class of 2015.

Dominick LaRuffa
'78
Shares
Wisdom with HEOP Freshmen
"IT DOESN
'
T MATTER
where
yo
u
start
out.
It
's
where you end
up
."
That was just one of the observations
Dominick
LaRuffa
'78
shared with students
in the
Arthur
0
.
Eve
Higher
Education
Opportunity
Program
(HEOP) as
the
y
prepared to
enter
their first
year at Marist.
LaRuffa
,
joined
b
y
his
wife,
Lee
,
met
with
18
students on June
27
in
the Cannavino Library
to share wisdom gleaned from collegiate
life
and
his
successful
caree
r in
sales of
hardwar
e,
software, and security systems
to
the
hospi-
tality industry.
LaRuffa
too
was once an
HEOP
student
at Marist. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Y,
he
said
he
was
the first in his
family
to
go
to
college. Starting out at Marist as a
ps
yc
holog
y
major, he
eventually focused on
media
,
com-
muni
cat
ion,
and advertising.
He
served
in two
advertising
int
e
rnships,
one in
Poughkeepsie
and one
in
New York
City
.
He
sa
id
while
he
enjoyed the social
life
on campus,
he never
neglected his
studies.
"
I had the desire to
succeed."
After graduating cum
l
aude with a
BA
in communication arts,
he landed
a sales
position
with
the Chamber
of
Commerce of
the
United States.
He
found
he liked
sales.
Ps
yc
holog
y an
d
advertising courses at Marist
helped him
,
he
said.
That job led to more
work
in
sales, and then a management
position.
He
went on to work at companies
including
Sharp
,
TecAmerica, and
Sweda International
,
holding man
y
management positions
over
the
years.
He
advised
the
students
to dream big.
"
Believe in
yourself.
Strive to be the best
you
are capab
l
e of
being. If I
can
do
it
,
I'm certain
all
of
you can
do it."
LaRuffa added
that
when
he took
a job,
it
wasn't always about
the money
. "
Every job I
was
doing
,
I did
with the same
v
it
al
it
y.
"I
knew that there
was a
better lif
e
out
there
for
me
and
m
y
family.
I r
esigned
myself
to push
forward, even when there were fail-
ures
.
I never let life defeat me
."
He
is
grateful for
his
Marist College
e
du
-
cation.
"
I had
such a great experience
being
on campus
here
.
I thank
God every
da
y
for
the
experience
I
got
at
Marist."
The
students appreciated
the pr
ese
nt
a-
tion
.
"His
motivation to
continue
l
earn
in
g
after
he
graduated showed
u
s
th
at
we
can
always
improve
and continue
learning
even
after we graduate and get our
degree
s,"
said
HEOP
freshman Cesar
Jimen
ez.
LaRuffa retired in
2012
as
a
senior account
executive from Micros
Retail
Systems
Inc.
after
1
7
years with
the
company.
H
e a
nd
his
wife are
founding members
of
the
Marist
Legacy Society, a group of
individu
a
l
s
who
have included
Marist in
their
estate
plans.
Following his talk
with
the
students,
LaRuffa
and
his
wife
h
ad
a surprise for
HEOP
:
a gift for
the HEOP
Alumni
Fund
.
The fund
helps
students
b
y
providing
financial support
for essential
needs beyond
tuition such
as
fare for commuting,
professional
attire for
internship opportunities, and other academic
and career-related expenses
not
covered
b
y
financial
aid or
the HEOP
grant.
"
Dominick
and
Lee LaRuffa have been
loyal
contributors
to the HEOP
Alumni
Fund
,"
said
Iris Ruiz
-
Grech, director
of
the
Center for Multicultural Affairs/Arthur 0.
Eve
Higher
Education Opportunity
Program
.
"
It
was a great
honor
to meet them
in p
erson.
Dominick
's
t
a
lk to
the
HEOP
freshmen was
on point with what they
l
earn
during the
summer
program
.
Ever
y
one has
a
n
oppor-
tunit
y
to be
successful.
Dominick is
a great
example
that
'
HEOP
Works!'"

History
The Marist Brothers have once
again
e
stablished a novitiate
on t
he
C
ollege campus.
K

MAR
I
ST
MAGAZINE
IN 1905,
the
Marist
Brothers
arrived
in
Poughkeepsie
and
purchased the
McPherson
estate
that now
forms
part
of
the
campus
of Marist College.
The Brothers
quickly
transformed the house
on
the property into
a
formation
center
to prepare
young
men
interested in becoming
Marist
Brothers.
Until
1970,
generations of young Brothers
passed
through
Marist as they completed
their
undergraduate
education and went on
to
lives
of service
.
Now
the Brothers have
once again estab
-
lished
a
house
of formation on
the
Marist
campus
.
Located
in
Kirk
House
(between the
Hancock
Center and
Foy
Townhouses),
the
Marist Brothers
novitiate
will
play
an
important
role
in preparing
young
men
for
the life
of
a Marist Brother
in
the
21st century
.
Currently,
the
community at
Kirk
includes Bro. Luis
Ramos,
an
Iona College
graduate who
began
his formation as
a
Marist Brother in
2016.
Other community members include Bro
.
Sean Sammon
'70, scholar-in-residence and
a
member
ofMarist's
Board of
Trustees, who
serves as
novice director, Bro
.
Kenneth Hogan
'

,
a religious studies
instructor,
and
Bro.
Michael
Flanigan,
a campus
minister
who
joins
the novitiate
community for
meals
and
prayers
and other activities and who,
like
Bro.
Frank
Kelly
'

director
of Campus Ministry
,
lives in the Champagnat
residence
hall.

During their two-year post-

young
men
with an
interest
in
becoming

Brothers
study
the history
,
spirituality
,
and
mission
of
the
con

.
In
addition,
they
receive
a
broad
education
in theology
,
youth
ministry,
and
language
studies
,
par
-
ticularly
French and
Spanish. Their
formation
program
also
includes
valuable
hands-on
experience work-
ing
with young
people in the local
community.
For his part, Brother Luis has
he
l
ped to lead
a
men
'
s group as
part
of the College
'
s Campus Ministr
y
program
and
has done
volunteer
work with Catholic Charities
in Dutchess
County.
"
So
many people here
at
the
College
have
been welcoming, especially as
I had questions
or
needed help,
"
said Brother Luis.
"
They
'
ve
certainly
made me
feel at
home
and
part
of
the
campus community
."
"The
Brothers
asked to
locate their novi
-
tiate
at Marist for several reasons
,"
according
to Brother Sean.
"
First of all, we wanted to
have this
stage of our formation
program
on campus as a sign of
the
Marist Brothers
'
ongoing support of the
mission
of
the
Coll
e
ge.
We also
realized that
the educational com-
munity
here has
a
number
of resources
that
complement our
novitiate
program. Finall
y,
we
hoped that having
a community of Marist
Brothers on campus would
help
y
oung
people
and others get a firsthand
look
at our wa
y
of
life
."
Founded
in
1817
by
Saint Marcellin
Champagnat,
the

today has
approxi

l
y 3,500 Marist
Brothers
working in

colleagues;
each year,
they
serve
more than
7
00
,

young
peop
l
e
in
Marist
ministries.
Marist
College, which
has been
an
independent
insti-
tution
for
decades
,
is nonetheless
still guided
by the
values
handed down by its
Marist
Brother founders
:
excellence
in
education, a
sense of communit
y,
and a commitment to
service
.
The
College
maintains close ties
with
the
Brothers and
belongs to
an
international
network
of Marist colleges and
un
i
versi-
ties. In
2016
,
the

"Marist's
ties to New

numerous,
and
the
Marist College Executive
Center in

will allow
us do
even
more
to

"
said
Dr. Geoffrey
Brackett, executive vice

addition
to its main
campus
in Poughkeepsie,
Marist
has
a
branch
campus
in Florence, Italy
,
and
academic
program
centers in Madrid,
Paris,

"
Marist
has
offered select
programs in
Manhattan for
many
years,
such
as
the mas-
ter of
public
administration and
our
Medical
Technology
Program, but
our offerings
have
been limited in number
and size
because
of
available space,
"
said
Dr. Thomas
Wermuth,
vice
president
for academic affairs and
dean
of faculty
.
"This expansion will allow
us to
bring
a variety
of premier Marist programs
to new
audiences
in
Manhattan while also
making
excellent
use
of
the many resources
the
city
has to
offer.
The new
educational
site will
further
enrich opportunities
for
students on
the Poughkeepsie
campus as
well
,
by
strengthening
internship options
and career-development events, which will
he
l
p them make professional
connections and
enhance
their
career opportunities
."
"This
purchase
of a space in Manhattan
is beyond
exciting for
us
students as it gives
the
student
bod
y
a
more
comprehens
i
ve
opportunity
to leave

said Ted T'Challa

"
Moreover,
it is
a

The

The
space will
be home to the
Marist

From Marist to the Majors
EVEN THOUGH THE OCCURRENCES
have become more
frequent,
they
still come
as a
pleasant
surprise for Kansas City
Royals
relief pitcher and former Marist
baseball
player Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy
has
a
pre-game routine that
includes
shagging
fly balls in the outfield
while the
Royals take batting practice
.
Afterward, as
he
'
s
trotting
off
the field, it
happens.
'Tit
hear
'Kevin
.
.. Red
Foxes!' And
then
they
'
ll
say their class year
,
" McCarthy said.
"
It
'
s awesome.
"
McCarthy pitched for the Marist
baseball
t
e
am from
2011
to
2
013.
Following
his
junior
year,
he
was selected
by
Kansas City
in
the
16
t
h
round of Major League Baseball's First-Year
Player
Draft. His
contract was selected
by
the
Royals on Sept.
6, 2016.
When
he made his
Major League
debut three days later
against
the Chicago White Sox, McCarthy
became
the first former
Red
Fox
to play in
a Major
L
e
ague Baseball game.

MARIST
MAGAZ
I
NE
In
2018,
McCarthy established
himself
as a
mainstay in the
Kansas City
bullpen. He
ranked among
the team
'
s
leaders in
appear-
ances for
most of the
season and was often
ca
ll
ed
upon to
get
key
outs
in close
games.
While
he departed the Poughkeepsie
campus
five
years ago
,
Mar
i
st
remains
ingrained in him.
What McCarthy has realized is that
a
Major Leaguer
can come from any school.
Prepare the
r
i
g
ht
way, handle
your
business
on and
off the field,
and scouts will
notice.
"I
hope
guys
looking to play
college
baseball know that
anything can
happen,
"
McCarthy
said.
"
If
you
put
your work
in,
doesn
'
t matter
where you are,
they
'
re
going
to find you

"
The

greatly enhanced

who
won
38
games and set
numerous pitching
records
during his
own playing career for
the
Red

Playing in
college for a
head
coach who
was also a
pitcher
,
not
to mention one who
enjoyed a tremendous amount of success
and who was able
to impart his
knowledge
,
resonated with McCarthy
.
"
He took
a particularly strong
interest
in
us
,"
McCarthy said.
"
He
could be hard on us
sometimes,
but it
was good for
us
.
It
definitely
helped me
separate
myself
from
the

the group.

r
Alyssa Moeder
'
89 empowers others-
women
i
n the financial services industry
,
Marist students,
G
i
rl Scout
s-
by sharing her knowledge and experience.
Fourteen years ago,
ALYSSA
MOEDER
'
89
looked
around
her
working world at Merrill Lynch and
saw a need-women
in
financial ser-
vices needed mentoring
.
So began the Women's Exchange,
a networking and
mentoring program
for the women at Merrill Lynch that
has
since
had
5,000
participants
at
locations
across the country.
"I
never
imagined that it would
grow into what
it is today,
"
said
Moeder, who earned a BS
in
account-
ing at Marist. She is a
private
wealth
advisor and a
principal
of Moeder
Salvino & Associates within the
Private Banking and Investment
Group at Merrill Lynch.
The Women's Exchange
has
been
a satisfy
ing
experience for someone
who
had
very few women as class-
mates or instructors in accounting
classes and few female colleagues
when she started
in
financial services.
Moeder, a campus guest
lecturer
in April,
now
sits on the Advisory
Council of the Women's Exchange.
The
program
offers workshops and
pairings
of
mentors
and
mentees
.
Moeder began
her
career
in pub-
lic accounting and obtained
her
CPA
license.
She
has
worked in financial
services
since
1991.
She provides
goal-based wealth-managed advice
and services to multigenerational
families.
Honored
num
ero
us
times
within
her
industry,
s
he
was named to
the
Crain's New York Business
"Most
Notable Women in Finance"
listing
earlier this year.
She's also
been
the recipient of
Merrill Lynch's David Brady Award,
g
iven
for exceptional service to
clients. That accolade
had
special
significance since Brady, a financial
advisor, died in the terrorist attacks
18
MARIST
MAGA
Z
INE
on the World Trade Center in
2001,
as
did
Tommy Crotty
'81,
Moeder's
brother
-in-
law
.
Caro
l
ine
Crotty,
daughter
of
Tommy and Moeder's sister, Joanne,
is a Marist freshman.
Moeder's
interest in mentoring
isn't limited to
the workplace, or
adults. As the
leader
of her
daughter
Nicole's Girl Scout troop, she
led
l
es-
sons about credit,
budgeting
,
and the
stock
market.
That troop's members
are
now
going off to college.
"I have a special passion for work
-
ing
with women. They
don't have
to
be
the
breadwinner
to
be
financially
independent. It's important and
empowering for them to understand
an
d properly
plan," Moeder said. One
mom
later
emai
l
e
d
to say
her
Girl
Scout
daughter had presented her
with a budget of what she
needed
for
allowance.
Today Moeder's a
member
of t
h
e
board of directors of the Girl Scouts
of Greater New York, and she's
involved
with the troop of Sarah,
her
14-year-old
daughter
.
Moeder and
her
husband,
Charlie, a research scientist,
also
have
a son, A
l
ex,
10.
Whether talking
to
Girl Scouts,
clients, or co
ll
ege students,
h
er
underlying message
about
money is
the same:
It
's
not
about
the money
amount.
It
's
about going t
h
ro
u
gh
the
planning
process
and sticking with
the
discipline.
During
her
recent visit
to the
campus, Moeder met with the
Marist
Investment
Club and gave a
guest
lecture
in a class called Fixed
Income
,
according to instructor
Brian Haughey, assistant
profes
-
sor of finance and
director
of the
Investment Center in the School of
Management.
He
said Moeder
inspired the
stu-
dents
and gave
practical
advice, too.
"Ms.
Moeder spoke about
how
on
l
y
10
percent
of families susta
i
n
their wealth
past t
h
ree generations,
and
the
importance,
therefore,
of
educating your c
h
ildren
about
finan-
cial responsibility," said
Haughey.
"S
he
also spoke about
the personal
characteristics that
lead
to success,
and the challenges that she had to
overcome, such as the
death
of
h
er
long
-
term business partner
(Ed
Spector)."
"In the classroom we
l
earn a
lot
of
'
h
a
rd
skills' a
n
d
formulas,
but her
visit
really showed me the
importance
of
soft sk
i
lls
and customer service," said
Mary Vange
'19.
"
I
also
learned
about
niche
jobs that
I
didn't know existed."
Moeder said she was
impressed
with
the
facu
l
ty, students, and
develop
-
ment
of the campus.
She said she wanted to
make it
clear
to
students
that
their career
pat
h
s
don't have
to
be
set
in
stone.
"
I told them to be
open to
trying dif
-
ferent
things
.
Be
open
to
exploring.
Any
experience, for
the most part,
can
be
a good experience to
leverage
,"
she said. Moeder also told students
not to underestimate the
value of
social
media
skills and
practical
skills
they're learning
in classes.
What two students said
to
h
er
afterward
proved
that
they
got
her
message
.
When they
t
h
anked
her
for
her
talk, she asked whic
h
part.
"That
you
don
't
have to have
it all figured
out
right now,
"
t
h
ey
rep
l
ied
.

JOHNF.
MCMULLEN
'94MSCS/'95MPA
CAME TO BE POET
LAUREATE
of the
Town of Yorktown
,
NY, by a rather
circuitous route
.
After graduating as
an English literature
major from Iona
College in 1961, a
quirk of fate took him
into a SO-year career
as a technologist,
first with the federal
government and
then as CIO for two
major Wall Street
firms. After he left
Morgan Stanley and Co., he and his wife, Barbara, founded
a technology consulting firm which in turn led to writing for
publication and adjunct college teaching positions. After
adjunct positions at NYU and the New School for Social
Research
,
both came to Marist. Barbara, in addition to adjunct
teaching
,
served first as director of academic computing
and then, after a stint at Tufts University, as assistant to
the president for technology and director of grant-funded
technology projects
;
John, in addition to adjunct teaching,
served as technology consultant to the president.
John went on to become a full
-
time professor at Monroe
College and then an adjunct at Purchase College and
Westchester Community College while also returning to
Marist as an instructor in the Center for Lifetime Study. He also
continued to write for publication.
In 1996
,
inspired by Charles Bukowski
'
s poetry
,
he wrote
his first poem, entered it in a national contest
,
and won third
prize
.
He has since been published in a number of poetry
journals and has authored six books of poetry, all available on
Amazon, including a 110
-
poem
New and Collected Poems
and
his most recent book,
Live At The Freight House,
released in
April 2018.
John also hosts a weekly internet radio program that
now has more than 250 episodes (including an interview
with Marist President Emeritus Dennis Murray)
.
Links to the
recordings of all shows are available at www.johnmac13.com/

As poet laureate of the Town of Yorktown
,
John gives
poetry readings throughout the Hudson River Valley,
participates in panel discussions, coordinates a monthly
poetry workshop, and looks for other ways to popularize
poetry in the area.
