A Note from the President
Dear Friends,
As many
of you
know, in
February
I
announced
my decision
to
step
down
as
president
of Marist
College
when
my
current
contract expires on
June
30, 2016.
For the past
36
years,
it has
been my honor
and
privilege
to serve as
president,
and
during
that
time
we
have been
able to accomplish extraordinary things.
The College
today is a strong
institution
with exciting plans for
the future,
and for
that reason, it
seems
like
a
logical time
for
new leadership.
The
search for Marist's
next president is underway
and
in
very
capable
hands.
Vice Chair of
the
Marist Board of Trustees
Ross
A.
Mauri
'80
is
chairing
the presidential
search committee, and
the
board has
selected
the national
executive search
firm
of
Isaacson
,
Miller
to
assist.
I
will
not be participating in the
search, as
I believe
it's important
for
the board,
with
input from representatives
of
the
College community,
to
independently choose
the next president.
There
will
be plenty
of
time
to reflect on what we've accomplished
together over the
years,
but for now I'd like to
extend
my
sincere
gratitude
to
all
the members
of
the
College
community
who
have made
Marist
the unique
American institution
it is today.
As
a college president,
I
couldn't
have
asked for a
more
dedicated
faculty,
harder
-wo
rking
staff,
more talented
students, or
more
engaged
alumni
.
I'd particularly like to
acknowledge those
long-
serving faculty and staff
members
who
have played
a crucial role
in Marist's transformation
over
the past three decades. I
do want
to thank the Board
of Trustees for
their
outstanding
leadership;
they
give
unselfishly
of
their time
and resources
because the
y
believe in the
work we
do here. Let me
also
recognize
the Marist
Brothers,
who
laid the
foundation
upon
which we
have built. Finally, I'd like to thank the people
of
the Hudson River
Valley for
their
support over
the
years.
I
can't
think
of a
better
community
in
which
to build
a great college.
I do
want
to
emphasize that
I'll
continue
to
serve as president through
June
2016,
and we'll
be
working
just as
hard
and at our
usual
fast
pace
.
There
's
still
much to be
accomplished, and
I look
forward to
advancing
the
College
during this period
of
transition. Over the next
year,
we will be particularly
focused on completing our
new
allied
health building
and constructing
new
student
housing
at
the
north
end of campus.
These
are challenging
times
for
higher
education, and we
must
continue our
work
to position
Marist
for success.
At the
conclusion of
my term
as
president, the board has
asked
me to stay
on
in the post-presidency
role
of
president
emeritus
and professor of public policy,
and
I've
enthusiastically agreed
to do
so.
I've
spent most
of
my
adult
life here,
and
I
can
think
of
no better
way
to finish my
career
than to
support
the institution that
's
been
at
the
center
of my professional life. In my role
as
president
emeritus,
l'll
continue
to
advance
the
interests of
the College by leveraging the relationships I've developed
to create
additional
recognition
and
support for Marist. Marilyn
and
I plan to continue living in Dutchess
County
and serving
both Marist
and
the
surrounding community.
Again, it
's
been my honor to
serve as
president
of Marist, and
I thank
you for your extraordinary
support of
the
College.
Sincerely,
~I

"When we establis

my hope
was

Dennis
,
a
l
so
a
truste
e
of
the
College,
says
his Hudson
Valley upbringing
has b
ee
n
a
key
motiv
a
tor in his
endeavors on behalf of
t
h
e charitable trust.
"I went
away
to
co
llege
,
but
growing
up
in
Fishkill
and
being
loc
a
l has
taught
me the
..........
technology profession of which
lam
proud
to
be
a part."
The six
recipients
from two Marist
classes haven't been the
only
beneficiaries.
The availability of
the
scho
l
arships
has
impacted
admissions, where enrollment
in computer science and
math has
almost
doubled in recent years.
"The Goldman Sachs-Duet
Family
Technology Scholarship, along with a simi-
larly targeted National Science
Foundation
Scholarship,
has had
a significant effect on
Marist College," said
School
of Computer
Science and
Mathematics Dean Roger
Norton. "Enrollments and applications
have
increased significantly and
the
College
has
been able to attract a diverse group of
bright
students
to
our computer science and infor-
mation technology programs. Many of
these
students
may not have been
able to attend
college without
this
financial support."
Duet,
who
has lectured
at
Marist's
Raymond
A.
Rich
Institute for
Leadership
Development, says
his
goal
is
for the scholar-
ships
to help
fill a
need he
sees
in his industry
for graduates with a
deep understanding
of
the fields of science,
technology,
engineering,
and
math.

importance

he
said.
A
CPA
with more than
35
years in
the
accounting and
tax profession, Dennis
received the Marist College President's
Award for Community Service in
2012.
The influence
of
the Schlobach Trust
on the Marist
campus
has been
significant.
The trust
gave students
the opportunity to
have hands-on
exposure
~
~
to investing by funding
~
the Investment Center in
Marist's Hancock build-
ing. The trust has
also
established
the Schlobach
Distinguished Chair in
Business
at
Marist.
Murray lauds Dennis's
leadership
and
the trust's
support
of the College,
saying both have
sup-
ported
"some
of the most
impactful and transfor-
mative initiatives in our
recent

Michael Buckley '90
Establishes Scholarship
M
ICHAEL BUCKLEY '90
speaks enthusi-
astically about the Marist
lessons
he
still uses today at the world's
largest
social
networking
company-and
now
he's giving
back.
Buckley, vice
president
for global
communications at Facebook, and
his
wife,
Jennifer,
have
pledged
$500,000
to establish
an endowed scholarship.
First preference
will
go
to participants in Harlem RBI,
a youth
development
organization
in
East
Harlem
that
provides year-round sports, educational,
and enrichment activities.
Even though Buckley's
professional
track
has
taken
him
far from
the
Marist campus
on
the banks
of
the Hudson River, he
says
the
education
he
got both
inside
and outside
the
classroom
has
served
him
well over
the
years and continues to at Facebook, where
he
oversees corporate,
internal,
international,
monetization, and
policy
communications,
as well as
the
company's
messaging
services
which
include
WhatsApp and Facebook
Messenger. Buckley
is
also responsible for
communications surrounding Facebook's
efforts to connect
unconnected
communi-
ties,
which
include lnternet.org
and The
Facebook Connectivity
Lab.
During
a visit this
past
April to the
College, where
he
spoke to students about
his
career
path, he
cited Marist
'
s tradition
of collaboration with outside institutions
and
its
early adoption of
technology
as
major
influences. The College's tradition of ethics
was another critical
part
of
his
education-a
part that
has become particularly impor-
tant at Facebook, where
issues related to
big
data
and
information
sharing
have
ethical
implications.
"There was a
definitive
sense of right and
wrong
here,
as well as a willingness to tackle
difficult ethical
issues. I reflect
on
it pretty
frequently, actually,"
Buckley
said. "There
are a
host
of
decisions
we all face related
to
data and
the
society we currently
live
in, and
I
think back often to
my
time here when
confronting those
issues."
While
the broader life lessons
were
important, Buckley
also says practical experi-
ences such as
being
a student pollster for the
Marist
Institute
for Public Opinion, demand-
ing classes such as political science with Dr.
Louis Zuccarello, and
his
time on the Marist
debate team, which was
then nationally
ranked (and
beat
the
Harvard
team, as
he
likes
to point out), prepared
him
with specific
skills he could use
in
the professional arena.
The advice
he
gives
to
current students,
and those who will
benefit
from the schol
-
arship, stems
from
a work ethic formed by
watching
his
grandfather work
long days
as
a
butcher in Brooklyn.
"If you find something that gets you
excited and gets you jazzed, go crush it. Work
your
heart
out and embrace
it."

Legacy Society Members
Honored at Special Event
President Hosts Program in
Historic Cornell Boathouse
I
N APPRECIATION
of their
leadership for
remembering
Marist in
their
estate
plans,
members of the Marist College
Legacy Society were
honored
April
18
on campus at a spe-
cial event
hosted by President
Dennis
J.
Murray.
The theme
of the event was "Celebrating
the
Hudson
River Valley's Great
Rowing Legacy," with guests appropriately
gathering
in Marist's h
i
storic Cornell
Boathouse.
The
Cornell
Boathouse
is
the
only
remaining structure from the
Intercollegiate
Rowing Association's famed
Regatta Row
and was renovated
in recent
years
by
Marist,
which
now
owns
it.
Preceding brunch
and a
recognition
program, Murray
to
l
d
guests
the
storied
his-
tory
of rowing on the
Hudson
River
and
how it helped
shape
present-day
Marist's riverfront
and championship crew teams.
The Poughkeepsie
Regatta,
uni-
versally
regarded
as the greatest
rowing tradition
in
American
history,
took place from
1895
to
1949,
its
course passing what
is
now
the Marist campus.
In
its
day,
the regatta rivaled
the Kentucky Derby,
the
World
Ser
i
es, and
the Rose Bowl
as a
national
sporting event. john Ansley,
head
ofMarist's Archives and Special Collections,
also spoke and
presented photos
and vin-
tage
film footage from Marist's
Poughkeepsie Regatta archive.
Legacy Society member Frank P. Liantonio
'
70
attended with his wife, Maureen
,
and their daughter, Kiera.
Some members of the Mari st
College Legacy Society gather at
the spring recognition event at the
historic Cornell Boathouse.
Guests had
the opportunity to view
an assemb
l
age of rare regatta arti-
facts and to
talk
with
library
staff
about the
history
of
the
event.

Helping Veterans Make the Transition from Service Member to Student:
From Camp to Campus
"Can you help me get my dog?"
T
HAT WAS THE SIMPLE QUESTION
26-year-old Matthew
Plumeri,
a Marist
College student and United States Marine
Corps combat veteran, asked at a
meeting
of the Marist Student Veterans Organization
in October 2014.
The
answer, it turned out, was yes
.
Plumeri had
spent
two
years with
Gulliver, the Vizsla assigned to
him
in 2011
following graduation from Specialized Search
Dog
Training School,
where
working
dog
handlers
and
their 1(9
counterparts
learn
to detect explosives off-leash.
Plumeri
and
Gulliver had
trained together
at Camp
Pendleton
in
San
Diego,
CA, and then served
together
in Helmand Province in
southern
Afghanistan.
Throughout
the
seven-month
deploy-
ment, Plumeri
and Gulliver were
together
24
/
7, whether
running missions, training,
or
trying to
wind
down
w
ith
their unit
after
12
MAR
I
ST
MAGAZINE
a stressful
day.
Plumeri, a
psychology major
from
rural
Clinton Corners, 13 miles
northeast
of
Poughkeepsie,
would
later
write eloquently
of
his
experience with Gulliver. "It's a strange
feeling,
entrusting your
life to
a dog
.
This
notion is
even stranger when
the
realization
sets
in
that there
is
also responsibility for
the
other
15 to
20 Marines on patrol whose
lives
depend
on you and your K9
.
"Gulliver kept
me
safe for
the
entire
seven
months we
were
deployed.
No one
who walked
behind us
on any
patrol that
Gulliver
and
I
l
ed was ever
injured, let
alone
killed,
by
an
!
ED."
Toward
the
end of
their deployment,
Plumeri noticed
signs of
ill health
and
post-
traumatic
stress
disorder
in
Gulliver,
and
when they returned
to Camp
Pendleton
in December
2013,
he began
exp
l
oring
the

process of adopting a
military
working
dog.
However, the
Marine Corps did
not
agree
that
Gulliver should retire. When
Plumeri's
five-year contract with the Marines expired
in
June
2014,
he
went
home to
New York
alone.
"Leaving Gulliver behind was one of the
toughest challenges
I had
ever faced in the
Marine Corps and was
ironically the
one
for which
I had no training," Plumeri
wrote.
Plumeri began
classes at Marist
in
fall
2014 and
waited
for
news. In October
2014,
it
came:
he
got
the
call saying
Gulliver
would
soon
be
retired
.
The
adoption fell
into
place
as
he
had
hoped.
However, now Plumeri had
another
challenge.
He did not
want
Gulliver
to
be
flown
from Camp
Pendleton
to New York
in
a kennel crate
in the
cargo area of a plane
.
But traveling with
him in the
cabin would
mean two
expensive
plane tickets. There
was
also
the matter
of a
flight to
California for
Plumeri,
a
rental
car, and a
motel
room.
Gulliver's Travels
T
HE
GOAL
of
the
Marist
Student
Veterans
Organization
is to
advocate
for
Marist
student veterans
during
their
transition from
military to
civilian student
life. So Plumeri
approached
the
group
in
search of some
support.
The MSVO decided to
raise
money
for
the travel
expenses.
On
an October
day in
2014,
Plumeri met in
the
Marist library
with
MSVO's
president, Britany Diesing,
who
will
graduate
this December,
and
Marist
alum-
nus
Owen
Daly
'05,
both
also Marine
Corps
veterans.
They
set
up
a Facebook account
and a
GoFundMe
site.
It
was on
the
site
that
Plumeri described
at
length his bond
with
Gulliver.
Their initial
goal
was to raise
$3,000.
In
less
than a
month the
campaign
brought in
nearly
$10,000.
"It was pretty overwhelming,"
Diesing
recalls.
The
MSVO also raised
money through
sales of Marist Fox Company
hoodies
and
T shirts sold at
Marist
events
including
Veterans
Day
ceremonies, a Marist vs
.
Army
basketball
game, and
the
Music
Department's
Red,
White, and
Blue
concert.
And President
Dennis J
.
Murray sent a campus-wide email
to
raise awareness about
the fundraising
effort.
In January
2015,
Plumeri flew to
San
Diego
and
brought Gulliver to his
fam-
ily's
home
in
Clinton Corners.
Plumeri
now
reports
that Gulliver's medication
for
osteoarthritis and
muscle
atrophy
has had
positive
results.
Gulliver gets along well with

the

the
Plumeri
home,
where
he has
the
run
of five acres and a
pool
and stream
to
swim in.
"My entire family
loves him like he has
been here
all along,"
Plumeri
says. "He
is
beyond
spoiled
now,
and
he truly has the
retirement that he deserves more than
anything."
The
remaining
money from the
fundraising
effort will go
toward long-term
care for Gulliver,
including food
and veteri-
nary bills.
Service and Support
T
HE
CAMPAIGN TO
BRING
GULLIVER
HOME
was
the highest-profile project
of several
the
MSVO
has undertaken during
the past
year.
Active members,
who
include
Plumeri
as vice
president, Bradley Hunt
'18
as
treasurer, and Bob
Roberts
'98, also
planned
a Veterans
Day flag-raising
and
luncheon in
2014
featuring Marist
alumnus Capt.
Paul
X.
Rinn, USN
(ret.) '68 as keynote speaker.
The
event
drew more than
80
alumni, students,
staff, family
members,
and friends.
The
group
also
held
a
food drive
and
has begun
volun-
teering
at
the
VA
hospital
at Castle
Point in
Wappingers
Falls,
NY.
As president, Diesing, who is from
Wappingers Fal
l
s,
represents MSVO fre-
quently
.
She
spoke about
the
group at an
Open House
Weekend panel
for
adult stu-
dents
and worked
with
Marist's Financial Aid
and Admissions offices
to develop informa-
tional brochures
for veterans. She commu-
nicates frequently
on
the
group's
Facebook
page
and
iLearn
site.
As
far as
membership,
the number
fluctuates. The
iLearn site
has
150
participants on
its
roster,
including
staff and
alumni who
help
the organization. Marist's
Office of
the Registrar reports that
59 veter-
ans
used
the
GI Bill
during the spring
2015
semester, and 89 the
previous
semester.
At
a
recent meeting, Diesing
asked
the
handful
of
veterans present how
things
were going. She also encouraged everyone
to
explore a
program directed by
American
Corporate
Partners
that offers career
men-
toring
for transitioning
military. Diesing
herself participated in
a veterans
immersion
program
offered
by ACP
at
Jon
Stewart's
The
Daily
Show,
a seven-week "boot camp"
to
help
veterans enter
the TV industry.
A politi-
cal science
major,
she
is
serving
internships
this
summer with
both Fox
News and New
York Sen. Chuck Schumer's
Hudson
Valley
regional
office
.
MSVO
collaborates with
Marist
admin-
istrators to help
student veterans
navigate
the terrain of financial
aid and enrollment.
Staff
members from Marist's offices of the
Registrar
and
Admissions
attend
the
group's
meetings in
case anyone
has
a
question. The
College
Activities office is
always
ready to
he
l
p with
setting
up MSVO
apparel
sales
at campus events,
Diesing
says, and Career
Services with editing
resumes.
"You
don't really
know
where
you fit
into
it," Diesing
says of entering
the
world of aca-
demia
as a veteran.
The
group's
mission is
"to
be
a
welcoming
community, a
place they
can
call home here
on campus."
Plumeri has nothing but praise
for
the
MSVO.
"I
will
always
be
grateful
to them,
Marist, and President Murray
for
helping
make this reunion with Gulliver
and
myself
possible. It's
something
I'll
never
forget for
the rest of my
life."

O
LIVIA
CORRIGAN
was just a
litt
le
girl
when
she
first
"a
ttended"
Marist
as
part of
a
summer
soccer
camp.
She remembered that the
grown-
up
g
irl
s
who coached the participants
were nice and fun, and that Marist
Co
ll
ege
seemed like
a
pretty
cool
place.
Fast-forward
a
decade. Corrigan
,
now
a young adult and a
rising sopho
-
more, has
gotten
to
know
Marist on
a whole
other level,
an
opportunity
she says
wouldn't have been possible
if not for the Marist Alumni Legacy
Scholarship.
Each year, a
freshman
son
or d
a
ugh
-
ter of
a
Marist graduate
is
chosen for
the award. Olivia
's
mother, Jeannine
{Liu)
Corrigan,
graduated
from Marist
in
1988.
"I just want
to
say 'thank you' to
the
donors
for giving
me
a
truly memorable
first year
at Marist,"
says
Corrigan,
who
graduated
from Our Lady
of
Lourdes
High School in Poughkeepsie. She
worked
at a women's
shelter
a
ll
four
years
in high
schoo
l
and is interested
in
a career
in the business world.
Corrigan
and
her parents recentl
y
attended the annua
l
Alumni
and
Friends Golf Tournament,
which
has
been the main
fundraising event for the
Scholarship Fund,
so
she
could offer
her
thanks in person.
The
student
says that the scenic
campus and
the
camaraderie among
students
were two of the main reasons
she chose Marist.
It
wasn
't
her
first
choice since
it was
so
close to home
.
But
a campus visit
changed
everything.
"
The second
l
stepped
on campus
I
was
drawn in, mesmerized by
the culture
and warmth and
the
welcoming
people,
"
she
says. The
College's commitment
to
rigorous academics was
also a
major
draw.
The number of

a

As of June

market
value of
:
the fund
was
$161,017.
'Td
love
for
the
endowment
to
be larger
and
to be
able
to
offer
more
and
bigger scholarships,
"
Woods says.
"Students could
really benefit from
this."
To
that end,
Jim Daly
'72,
past pr
es
i
-
dent
of
the Marist Alumni Executive
Board
and
a Greystone Board member,
created a
fundraising
challenge
to build
the
scho
l
arship's endowment.
For
a three-year period, Jim
and
his
wife,
Christine
'08
MA,
have offered to
match
gifts received from a alumni,
dollar
for
dollar, up to
$25,000.
When the chal-
lenge is
successfully
met,
the
scholarship's endow-
ment
will grow
by
an
additional
$50,000.
Daly,
a former
Marist vice president
and dean
of admission
and the father of
Marist
graduates
Owen Daly
'05
and
Catherine Daly
Scanlon
'
15
MA, says the family wants
to help more
children of Marist alumni
achieve
the
goal of a
degr
ee
from
a
school
that has not
only a
nation
a
l
reputation but
also a
welcoming
and
inspirational
atmosphere where
friend
-
ships are
made
and continue
l
ong after
graduation.
"Marist
has been
very
important in
my life
and
I'm
grateful
to the College
for
so
many things,
"
Daly
says. "Chris
and
I feel really
good about
doing this.
"
Daly
says
people
who
have held
alumni
leadership positions,
such as
former alumni
presidents
who comprise
the Greystone Board,
are among those
who have taken up the challenge.
In
a
bit of irony, Daly was the dean
of admission when Corrigan's mother
entered
Marist.
Corrigan, who
liv
ed
in Marian Hall
her first
year, says
she hopes that
Marist
alumni
will remember their
own cam-
pus
experiences and consider
donating
to the
scholarship
fund.
"The alumni
know what
a great
school it is. l was really
able
to make
connections, meet new people, and
grow socially.
It
was the experience I
was looking
for."

NOT
VERY OFTEN
that an alumnus and

But for
the
third year

this
special opportunity.

of
the Marist
community traveled to
Deerfield Valley, VT, to partake in a variety of complimentary winter
activities
including
downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country ski-
ing, snowshoeing, ice skating, snow tubing, and more. For those who
preferred a
more temperature-controlled
environment, the clubhouse
offered a fitness center, spa,
movie
theatre,
pool,
indoor and outdoor
hot tubs, and
mini
bowling alley.
All guests who attended Marist
Day
at the
Hermitage
Club and
also supported the College's annual giving
cam
paign
,
the Marist Fund,
between July
1
and March
1
were entered
in

A Note from the President
Dear Friends,
As many
of you
know, in
February
I
announced
my decision
to
step
down
as
president
of Marist
College
when
my
current
contract expires on
June
30, 2016.
For the past
36
years,
it has
been my honor
and
privilege
to serve as
president,
and
during
that
time
we
have been
able to accomplish extraordinary things.
The College
today is a strong
institution
with exciting plans for
the future,
and for
that reason, it
seems
like
a
logical time
for
new leadership.
The
search for Marist's
next president is underway
and
in
very
capable
hands.
Vice Chair of
the
Marist Board of Trustees
Ross
A.
Mauri
'80
is
chairing
the presidential
search committee, and
the
board has
selected
the national
executive search
firm
of
Isaacson
,
Miller
to
assist.
I
will
not be participating in the
search, as
I believe
it's important
for
the board,
with
input from representatives
of
the
College community,
to
independently choose
the next president.
There
will
be plenty
of
time
to reflect on what we've accomplished
together over the
years,
but for now I'd like to
extend
my
sincere
gratitude
to
all
the members
of
the
College
community
who
have made
Marist
the unique
American institution
it is today.
As
a college president,
I
couldn't
have
asked for a
more
dedicated
faculty,
harder
-wo
rking
staff,
more talented
students, or
more
engaged
alumni
.
I'd particularly like to
acknowledge those
long-
serving faculty and staff
members
who
have played
a crucial role
in Marist's transformation
over
the past three decades. I
do want
to thank the Board
of Trustees for
their
outstanding
leadership;
they
give
unselfishly
of
their time
and resources
because the
y
believe in the
work we
do here. Let me
also
recognize
the Marist
Brothers,
who
laid the
foundation
upon
which we
have built. Finally, I'd like to thank the people
of
the Hudson River
Valley for
their
support over
the
years.
I
can't
think
of a
better
community
in
which
to build
a great college.
I do
want
to
emphasize that
I'll
continue
to
serve as president through
June
2016,
and we'll
be
working
just as
hard
and at our
usual
fast
pace
.
There
's
still
much to be
accomplished, and
I look
forward to
advancing
the
College
during this period
of
transition. Over the next
year,
we will be particularly
focused on completing our
new
allied
health building
and constructing
new
student
housing
at
the
north
end of campus.
These
are challenging
times
for
higher
education, and we
must
continue our
work
to position
Marist
for success.
At the
conclusion of
my term
as
president, the board has
asked
me to stay
on
in the post-presidency
role
of
president
emeritus
and professor of public policy,
and
I've
enthusiastically agreed
to do
so.
I've
spent most
of
my
adult
life here,
and
I
can
think
of
no better
way
to finish my
career
than to
support
the institution that
's
been
at
the
center
of my professional life. In my role
as
president
emeritus,
l'll
continue
to
advance
the
interests of
the College by leveraging the relationships I've developed
to create
additional
recognition
and
support for Marist. Marilyn
and
I plan to continue living in Dutchess
County
and serving
both Marist
and
the
surrounding community.
Again, it
's
been my honor to
serve as
president
of Marist, and
I thank
you for your extraordinary
support of
the
College.
Sincerely,
~I

500
TEAMS
from
colleges

32 countries
took
part in
the CME Group Trading Challenge,
a real

competi-
tion.
Using a simulated electronic
platform,
the teams
traded futures
contracts
in
gold,
oil

and other goods
for two
weeks
in
February;
the top
so
teams
continued on
to

all was
said and
done, the Marist

l
ow
$450,000-good enough for seventh

to the team.
"The team
demonstrated that Marist

easily
hold their own
against
the best in
the world."
By qualifying to
compete
in the
second
round, the
students
were invited to
visit

and
attend a "Day of Market Education

where
they participated in

"Speaking
with the different teams,
we
were surprised
to
see
that not many
schools
offered
student-run
funds,"
said Sullivan.
"This
is really
a credit
to Prof. Haughey
and

"When we establis

Dennis
,
a

so
a
truste
e
of
the
College,
says
his Hudson
Valley upbringing
has b
ee
n
a
key
motiv
a
tor in his
endeavors on behalf of
t
h
e charitable trust.
"I went
away
to
co

,
but
growing
up
in
Fishkill
and
being
loc
a
l has
taught
me the
..........
technology profession of which
lam
proud
to
be
a part."
The six
recipients
from two Marist
classes haven't been the
only
beneficiaries.
The availability of
the
scho
l
arships
has
impacted
admissions, where enrollment
in computer science and
math has
almost
doubled in recent years.
"The Goldman Sachs-Duet
Family
Technology Scholarship, along with a simi-
larly targeted National Science
Foundation
Scholarship,
has had
a significant effect on
Marist College," said
School
of Computer
Science and
Mathematics Dean Roger
Norton. "Enrollments and applications
have
increased significantly and
the
College
has
been able to attract a diverse group of
bright
students
to
our computer science and infor-
mation technology programs. Many of
these
students
may not have been
able to attend
college without
this
financial support."
Duet,
who
has lectured
at
Marist's
Raymond
A.
Rich
Institute for
Leadership
Development, says
his
goal
is
for the scholar-
ships
to help
fill a
need he
sees
in his industry
for graduates with a
deep understanding
of
the fields of science,
technology,
engineering,
and

he
said.
A

with more than
35
years in
the
accounting and
tax profession, Dennis
received the Marist College President's
Award for Community Service in
2012.
The influence
of
the Schlobach Trust
on the Marist
campus
has been
significant.
The trust
gave students
the opportunity to
have hands-on

~
to investing by funding
~
the Investment Center in

saying both have
sup-
ported
"some
of the most
impactful and transfor-

Michael Buckley '90
Establishes Scholarship
M
ICHAEL BUCKLEY '90
speaks enthusi-
astically about the Marist
lessons
he
still uses today at the world's
largest
social
networking
company-and
now
he's giving
back.
Buckley, vice
president
for global
communications at Facebook, and
his
wife,
Jennifer,
have
pledged
$500,000
to establish
an endowed scholarship.
First preference
will
go
to participants in Harlem RBI,
a youth
development
organization
in
East
Harlem
that
provides year-round sports, educational,
and enrichment activities.
Even though Buckley's
professional
track
has
taken
him
far from
the
Marist campus
on
the banks
of
the Hudson River, he
says
the
education
he
got both
inside
and outside
the
classroom
has
served
him
well over
the
years and continues to at Facebook, where
he
oversees corporate,
internal,
international,
monetization, and
policy
communications,
as well as
the
company's
messaging
services
which
include
WhatsApp and Facebook
Messenger. Buckley
is
also responsible for
communications surrounding Facebook's
efforts to connect
unconnected
communi-
ties,
which
include lnternet.org
and The
Facebook Connectivity
Lab.
During
a visit this
past
April to the
College, where
he
spoke to students about
his
career
path, he
cited Marist
'
s tradition
of collaboration with outside institutions
and
its
early adoption of
technology
as
major
influences. The College's tradition of ethics
was another critical
part
of
his
education-a
part that
has become particularly impor-
tant at Facebook, where
issues related to
big
data
and
information
sharing
have
ethical
implications.
"There was a
definitive
sense of right and
wrong
here,
as well as a willingness to tackle
difficult ethical
issues. I reflect
on
it pretty
frequently, actually,"
Buckley
said. "There
are a
host
of
decisions
we all face related
to
data and
the
society we currently
live
in, and
I
think back often to
my
time here when
confronting those
issues."
While
the broader life lessons
were
important, Buckley
also says practical experi-
ences such as
being
a student pollster for the
Marist
Institute
for Public Opinion, demand-
ing classes such as political science with Dr.
Louis Zuccarello, and
his
time on the Marist
debate team, which was
then nationally
ranked (and
beat
the
Harvard
team, as
he
likes
to point out), prepared
him
with specific
skills he could use
in
the professional arena.
The advice
he
gives
to
current students,
and those who will
benefit
from the schol
-
arship, stems
from
a work ethic formed by
watching
his
grandfather work
long days
as
a
butcher in Brooklyn.
"If you find something that gets you
excited and gets you jazzed, go crush it. Work
your
heart
out and embrace
it."

Legacy Society Members
Honored at Special Event
President Hosts Program in
Historic Cornell Boathouse
I
N APPRECIATION
of their
leadership for
remembering
Marist in
their
estate
plans,
members of the Marist College
Legacy Society were
honored
April
18
on campus at a spe-
cial event
hosted by President
Dennis
J.
Murray.
The theme
of the event was "Celebrating
the
Hudson
River Valley's Great
Rowing Legacy," with guests appropriately
gathering
in Marist's h
i
storic Cornell
Boathouse.
The
Cornell
Boathouse
is
the
only
remaining structure from the
Intercollegiate
Rowing Association's famed
Regatta Row
and was renovated
in recent
years
by
Marist,
which
now
owns
it.
Preceding brunch
and a
recognition
program, Murray
to
l
d
guests
the
storied
his-
tory
of rowing on the
Hudson
River
and
how it helped
shape
present-day
Marist's riverfront
and championship crew teams.
The Poughkeepsie
Regatta,
uni-
versally
regarded
as the greatest
rowing tradition
in
American
history,
took place from
1895
to
1949,
its
course passing what
is
now
the Marist campus.
In
its
day,
the regatta rivaled
the Kentucky Derby,
the
World
Ser
i
es, and
the Rose Bowl
as a
national
sporting event. john Ansley,
head
ofMarist's Archives and Special Collections,
also spoke and
presented photos
and vin-
tage
film footage from Marist's
Poughkeepsie Regatta archive.
Legacy Society member Frank P. Liantonio
'
70
attended with his wife, Maureen
,
and their daughter, Kiera.
Some members of the Mari st
College Legacy Society gather at
the spring recognition event at the
historic Cornell Boathouse.
Guests had
the opportunity to view
an assemb
l
age of rare regatta arti-
facts and to
talk
with
library
staff
about the
history
of
the
event.

ill
be the
first

The overall
market
for

to grow significantly over
the

decade,
according
to
a 2012 study
b
y
Georgetown

Education a
nd
the
Workforce. "Between
2010 and 2020,
healthcare
occupations will
increase from 10.1 million to 13
.
1 million
jobs," said
the
st
ud
y. "From 2010
to
2020,

Helping Veterans Make the Transition from Service Member to Student:
From Camp to Campus
"Can you help me get my dog?"
T
HAT WAS THE SIMPLE QUESTION
26-year-old Matthew
Plumeri,
a Marist
College student and United States Marine
Corps combat veteran, asked at a
meeting
of the Marist Student Veterans Organization
in October 2014.
The
answer, it turned out, was yes
.
Plumeri had
spent
two
years with
Gulliver, the Vizsla assigned to
him
in 2011
following graduation from Specialized Search
Dog
Training School,
where
working
dog
handlers
and
their 1(9
counterparts
learn
to detect explosives off-leash.
Plumeri
and
Gulliver had
trained together
at Camp
Pendleton
in
San
Diego,
CA, and then served
together
in Helmand Province in
southern
Afghanistan.
Throughout
the
seven-month
deploy-
ment, Plumeri
and Gulliver were
together
24
/
7, whether
running missions, training,
or
trying to
wind
down
w
ith
their unit
after
12
MAR
I
ST
MAGAZINE
a stressful
day.
Plumeri, a
psychology major
from
rural
Clinton Corners, 13 miles
northeast
of
Poughkeepsie,
would
later
write eloquently
of
his
experience with Gulliver. "It's a strange
feeling,
entrusting your
life to
a dog
.
This
notion is
even stranger when
the
realization
sets
in
that there
is
also responsibility for
the
other
15 to
20 Marines on patrol whose
lives
depend
on you and your K9
.
"Gulliver kept
me
safe for
the
entire
seven
months we
were
deployed.
No one
who walked
behind us
on any
patrol that
Gulliver
and
I
l
ed was ever
injured, let
alone
killed,
by
an
!
ED."
Toward
the
end of
their deployment,
Plumeri noticed
signs of
ill health
and
post-
traumatic
stress
disorder
in
Gulliver,
and
when they returned
to Camp
Pendleton
in December
2013,
he began
exp
l
oring
the

process of adopting a
military
working
dog.
However, the
Marine Corps did
not
agree
that
Gulliver should retire. When
Plumeri's
five-year contract with the Marines expired
in
June
2014,
he
went
home to
New York
alone.
"Leaving Gulliver behind was one of the
toughest challenges
I had
ever faced in the
Marine Corps and was
ironically the
one
for which
I had no training," Plumeri
wrote.
Plumeri began
classes at Marist
in
fall
2014 and
waited
for
news. In October
2014,
it
came:
he
got
the
call saying
Gulliver
would
soon
be
retired
.
The
adoption fell
into
place
as
he
had
hoped.
However, now Plumeri had
another
challenge.
He did not
want
Gulliver
to
be
flown
from Camp
Pendleton
to New York
in
a kennel crate
in the
cargo area of a plane
.
But traveling with
him in the
cabin would
mean two
expensive
plane tickets. There
was
also
the matter
of a
flight to
California for
Plumeri,
a
rental
car, and a
motel
room.
Gulliver's Travels
T
HE
GOAL
of
the
Marist
Student
Veterans
Organization
is to
advocate
for
Marist
student veterans
during
their
transition from
military to
civilian student
life. So Plumeri
approached
the
group
in
search of some
support.
The MSVO decided to
raise
money
for
the travel
expenses.
On
an October
day in
2014,
Plumeri met in
the
Marist library
with
MSVO's
president, Britany Diesing,
who
will
graduate
this December,
and
Marist
alum-
nus
Owen
Daly
'05,
both
also Marine
Corps
veterans.
They
set
up
a Facebook account
and a
GoFundMe
site.
It
was on
the
site
that
Plumeri described
at
length his bond
with
Gulliver.
Their initial
goal
was to raise
$3,000.
In
less
than a
month the
campaign
brought in
nearly
$10,000.
"It was pretty overwhelming,"
Diesing
recalls.
The
MSVO also raised
money through
sales of Marist Fox Company
hoodies
and
T shirts sold at
Marist
events
including
Veterans
Day
ceremonies, a Marist vs
.
Army
basketball
game, and
the
Music
Department's
Red,
White, and
Blue
concert.
And President
Dennis J
.
Murray sent a campus-wide email
to
raise awareness about
the fundraising
effort.
In January
2015,
Plumeri flew to
San
Diego
and
brought Gulliver to his
fam-
ily's
home
in
Clinton Corners.
Plumeri
now
reports
that Gulliver's medication
for
osteoarthritis and
muscle
atrophy
has had
positive
results.
Gulliver gets along well with
Plumer

the
other
three
dogs at
the
Plumeri
home,
where
he has
the
run
of five acres and a
pool
and stream
to
swim in.
"My entire family
loves him like he has
been here
all along,"
Plumeri
says. "He
is
beyond
spoiled
now,
and
he truly has the
retirement that he deserves more than
anything."
The
remaining
money from the
fundraising
effort will go
toward long-term
care for Gulliver,
including food
and veteri-
nary bills.
Service and Support
T
HE
CAMPAIGN TO
BRING
GULLIVER
HOME
was
the highest-profile project
of several
the
MSVO
has undertaken during
the past
year.
Active members,
who
include
Plumeri
as vice
president, Bradley Hunt
'18
as
treasurer, and Bob
Roberts
'98, also
planned
a Veterans
Day flag-raising
and
luncheon in
2014
featuring Marist
alumnus Capt.
Paul
X.
Rinn, USN
(ret.) '68 as keynote speaker.
The
event
drew more than
80
alumni, students,
staff, family
members,
and friends.
The
group
also
held
a
food drive
and
has begun
volun-
teering
at
the
VA
hospital
at Castle
Point in
Wappingers
Falls,
NY.
As president, Diesing, who is from
Wappingers Fal
l
s,
represents MSVO fre-
quently
.
She
spoke about
the
group at an
Open House
Weekend panel
for
adult stu-
dents
and worked
with
Marist's Financial Aid
and Admissions offices
to develop informa-
tional brochures
for veterans. She commu-
nicates frequently
on
the
group's
page
and
iLearn
site.
As
far as
membership,
the number
fluctuates. The
iLearn site
has
150
participants on
its
roster,
including
staff and
alumni who
help
the organization. Marist's
Office of
the Registrar reports that
59 veter-
ans
used
the
GI Bill
during the spring
2015
semester, and 89 the
previous
semester.
At
a
recent meeting, Diesing
asked
the
handful
of
veterans present how
things
were going. She also encouraged everyone
to
explore a
program directed by
American
Corporate
Partners
that offers career
men-
toring
for transitioning
military. Diesing
herself participated in
a veterans
immersion
program
offered
by ACP
at
Jon
Stewart's
The
Daily
Show,
a seven-week "boot camp"
to
help
veterans enter
the TV industry.
A politi-
cal science
major,
she
is
serving
internships
this
summer with
both Fox
News and New
York Sen. Chuck Schumer's
Hudson
Valley
regional
office
.
MSVO
collaborates with
Marist
admin-
istrators to help
student veterans
navigate
the terrain of financial
aid and enrollment.
Staff
members from Marist's offices of the
Registrar
and
Admissions
attend
the
group's
meetings in
case anyone
has
a
question. The
College
Activities office is
always
ready to
he
l
p with
setting
up MSVO
apparel
sales
at campus events,
Diesing
says, and Career
Services with editing
resumes.
"You
don't really
know
where
you fit
into
it," Diesing
says of entering
the
world of aca-
demia
as a veteran.
The
group's
mission is
"to
be
a
welcoming
community, a
place they
can
call home here
on campus."
Plumeri has nothing but praise
for
the
MSVO.
"I
will
always
be
grateful
to them,
Marist, and President Murray
for
helping
make this reunion with Gulliver
and
myself
possible. It's
something
I'll
never
forget for
the rest of my
life."

CORRIGAN
was just a

girl
when
she
first
"a
ttended"
Marist
as
part of
a
summer
soccer
camp.
She remembered that the
grown-
up
g
irl
s
who coached the participants
were nice and fun, and that Marist
Co
ll
ege
seemed like
a
pretty
cool
place.
Fast-forward
a
decade. Corrigan
,
now
a young adult and a
rising sopho
-

gotten
to
know
Marist on
a whole
other level,
an
opportunity
she says
wouldn't have been possible
if not for the Marist Alumni Legacy
Scholarship.
Each year, a
freshman
son
or d
a

ter of
a
Marist graduate
is
chosen for
the award. Olivia

mother, Jeannine

Corrigan,
graduated
from Marist
in

"I just want
to
say 'thank you' to
the
donors
for giving
me
a
truly memorable
first year
at Marist,"
says
Corrigan,
who
graduated
from Our Lady

High School in Poughkeepsie. She
worked
at a women's
shelter
a
ll
four
years
in high

in
a career

Corrigan
and
her parents recentl
y
attended the annua
l
Alumni
and
Friends Golf Tournament,
which
has
been the main
fundraising event for the
Scholarship Fund,
so
she
could offer
her
thanks in person.
The
student
says that the scenic
campus and
the
camaraderie among
students
were two of the main reasons
she chose Marist.
It
wasn
't
her
first
choice since
it was
so
close to home
.
But
a campus visit
changed
everything.
"
The second

stepped
on campus
I
was
drawn in, mesmerized by
the culture
and warmth and
the

she

to

also a

To

to the College
for
so
many things,
"
Daly
says. "Chris
and
I feel really
good about
doing this.
"
Daly
says
people
who
have held
alumni
leadership positions,
such as
former alumni
presidents
who comprise
the Greystone Board,
are among those
who have taken up the challenge.
In
a
bit of irony, Daly was the dean
of admission when Corrigan's mother
entered
Marist.
Corrigan, who
liv
ed
in Marian Hall
her first
year, says
she hopes that
Marist
alumni
will remember their
own cam-
pus
experiences and consider
donating
to the
scholarship
fund.
"The alumni
know what
a great
school it is. l was really
able
to make
connections, meet new people, and
grow socially.
It
was the experience I
was looking
for."

preferred a
more temperature-controlled
environment, the clubhouse
offered a fitness center, spa,
movie
theatre,
pool,
indoor and outdoor
hot tubs, and
mini
bowling alley.
All guests who attended Marist
Day
at the
