For the fi rst time in his presidential tenure, Dr. DiSalvo witnessed the Endicott community coming together around a common cause. The fourth annual Ice Bucket Challenge to support ALS research and awareness raised over $3,000 thanks to the selfl essness of our students and a matching contribution from Dr. DiSalvo. The Ice Bucket Challenge took place in the quad adjacent to Peter Frates Hall, named for the North Shore legend who has inspired a nation to combat this life-threatening disease.

PRESIDENT'S CORNER

Educating the whole student goes way beyond what you learn in classes. When a college educates the whole student, it means they are helping the student � gure out who they are and what they believe. College allows students to form their own opinions and become independent in the world we live in. It also gives them the opportunities to create the connections and relationships that will help them in their careers and their growth as a person.”

—Nick Grace, Class of 2020

Educating the Whole StudentWhen fi rst learning about the

value of an Endicott College education, I was struck by how holistic the experience is for students. Support for our students comes from not only academics but through extracurricular opportunities, counseling center offerings, student life programming, athletic team-building, interpersonal mentorship, and internship experience. It is my hope to expand this approach even more as we seek to support our students in the best and most effective ways possible.

Today, our young people are experi-encing more mental health challenges, more environmental stressors, and a larger uncertainty about their place in the world, and it is more important than ever to consider the concept of ‘educating the whole student’ as a necessary pillar of higher education. This generation, known as “Generation Z,” struggles with a level of anxiety many of us cannot comprehend, and as educators and custodians, it is our job to ensure no student feels alone or unsupported. There has been a recent wave in higher education to bolster mental health resources, and we must take this idea even further to fully incorporate it into the experience of every student here.

Educating the whole student is not just about academics and required courses in the liberal arts and soft skills. It digs into

what factors and infl uences contribute to the making of a graduate who is confi dent, experienced, thoughtful, intellectual, and healthy.

It considers the massive value of teaching students ethics, spirituality, creativity, athletics, service, leadership—and how these concepts all combine to ensure that students have broadened their horizons over the course of their time here and emerge as creative and thoughtful collaborators and problem solvers.

At Endicott, we take great pride in our outstanding postgraduate benchmarks in employment and career success. What we cannot as easily measure—but what is arguably even more important—is our ability to produce graduates who are integrated into their communities, confi dent, and active global citizens.

I call on our faculty, staff, and community to join me on this mission to more fully support our students we’re so passionate about educating. Their time here is incredibly formative, and it is our duty to support, encourage, and challenge them to grow in as many ways as possible—both inside and outsidethe classroom.

One hundred years of athletics history and tradition at St. John’s Preparatory School (Danvers, Mass.) is now in the hands of "Double Gull” Jameson Pelkey ’07 M’09, who began his tenure as director of athletics for the Prep on July 1. Pelkey, who earned his B.S. in Sport Management before earning an M.Ed. in Athletic Administration (now M.S. in Sport Leadership), credits Endicott’s emphasis on career preparation through its nationally-lauded internship model and the collaborative and supportive nature of the Van Loan School for achieving his dream job.

Bioengineering major Kaitlyn Nadeau ’20 joined forces with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command in Natick, Mass., for an innovative internship geared toward protecting our troops. Here, Nadeau is working on a sample of a singular polysaccharide cell that she scanned with an atomic force microscope to test the mechanics of a fungus that was affecting the Army’s portable combat shelters.

Eight hundred and forty nine members of the Class of 2023—a record-setting number of first-year students—were greeted on move-in day by an enthusiastic student moving crew who were all smiles. Eleanor Barkett ’20, Emma Hess ’20, and Meghan Price ’20 took a moment to pose inside one of our residence life move-in bins in front of historic Reynolds Hall, one of eight first-year housing options.

A new beginning.

As president, Dr. DiSalvo has a mission to ensure that Endicott leads the way with access to affordable, quality education so that today’s students can meet or exceed their highest potential. As a fi rst-generation college student, Dr. DiSalvo is a fi rm believer that the investment to further one’s knowledge is invaluable. During his tenure, Dr. DiSalvo will work closely with the Endicott community to strengthen the under-graduate and graduate programs and increase the College’s presence as a top regional institution.

A leader in higher education and beyond.

Prior to Endicott, Dr. DiSalvo served as the 10th president of Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H. At Saint Anselm, his tenure was marked by enrollment and endowment growth, a successful capital campaign, increased retention and graduation rates, and signifi cant capital improvement projects. Previously, Dr. DiSalvo was president at Wisconsin’s Marian University, where he bolstered the University’s endowment, upgraded its facilities, and launched new undergraduate and graduate programs.

On the national stage, Dr. DiSalvo has surfaced as a leading voice in the ongoing conversation about college

affordability, with op-eds and interviews in media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Boston Globe, among others. He also led the Committee on Student Aid as a member of the Board of Directors for the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU).

Dr. DiSalvo brings a wealth of experience beyond the sphere of higher education to Endicott, having served as president and CEO of the Hopewell Group, a leading philanthropic advising fi rm, and as executive director of the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation, which is committed to helping children heal from the effects of domestic violence and abuse. He has also formerly worked as executive vice president at Junior Achievement of New York, which is dedicated to preparing and inspiring young people to succeed in a global economy.

Dr. DiSalvo holds three degrees from Fordham University: a Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership and Policy, a Master of Business Administration from the University’s Gabelli School of Business, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. He previously worked in advancement at Fordham as well as at Loyola

University Chicago and Fairfi eld University. Informed by his education and experience at multiple institutions, Dr. DiSalvo maintains a deep belief in providing college access to all students and ensuring that the college community is diverse, inclusive, and refl ective of the world in which we live. His philosophy is centered on one common question: are we doing our best to serve our students?

Dr. DiSalvo credits his parents, Arline and Sal DiSalvo, for providing him the opportunity to receive a high-quality education by making many sacrifi ces, including working multiple jobs to help put him through a private, independent college. He and his wife, Eileen, are the proud parents of three adult sons, Tom, Andrew, and Connor.

Meet Endicott’sSeventh President

In March 2019, Endicott College formally announced its seventh president, Steven R. DiSalvo, Ph.D.—a higher education leader with a track record of transformative success at multiple

U.S. colleges and universities. On July 1, 2019, Dr. DiSalvo offi cially stepped into his new leadership role ready to build upon the strong foundation of the College.

A Celebration to RememberOn Friday, September 27, more than 2,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni, delegates, and presidents from colleges, universities, and learned societies across the country, and community members came together to celebrate the formal inauguration of Steven R. DiSalvo, Ph.D., as seventh president of Endicott College—the fi rst inauguration at the College in more than 30 years.

The momentous day included a ceremony where Dr. DiSalvo gave

a powerful inauguration address on the importance of accessibility to and affordability of an Endicott education—two of his top priorities. He also spoke on the advantages of study abroad and providing our students with the experience necessary to thrive in a global society. Following the ceremony, inauguration attendees visited multiple celebration receptions and had the opportunity to be a part of history by

writing well wishes to Dr. DiSalvo, putting a sticker on the world map to show where they traveled from, adding a photo to our digital mosaic, and signing a steel beam going into Phase II of the Samuel C. Wax Academic Center.

The celebration continued throughout Homecoming & Family Weekend, where Dr. DiSalvo was able to spend time with parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and students. n

Our story, the Endicott story, is less about the past and more about the future. It is less about the internship, but more about the intern. It is less about the dream, but more about the dreamer. � at next chapter for Endicott begins now, when I can say with optimism, excitement, and great pride—it’s a great dayto be a Gull!”

� e conductor here at Endicott College has changed, but we still have the same incredible orchestra. Our faculty and sta� will continue to perform together in the great symphony that is higher education at Endicott. Our repertoire will consist of the familiar as well as the new. We will not abandon the masterworks that have created Endicott. But together we will perform new pieces, engaging new audiences while remaining connected to our longtime fans—our alumni, parents, friends, and benefactors.”

Internship & Career Center introduces co-ops, off ering students expanded options for professional growth.

Co-Op Program PresentsNew Opportunities forExperiential Learning

In order to be at the forefront of experiential learning and remain

true to Endicott's founding principle of integrating experience with academics, the Internship & Career Center intro-duced a co-op model to students in all majors. Because co-ops tend to be longer than internships, students can get more in-depth experience and become more integrated into a company’s work and culture.

When deciding to pursue an internship or co-op during her senior year, dual fi nance and business management major, Jamie Espinola ’19, chose to seek out the latter to have the ability to spend more time learning the inner-workings of the company.

Espinola says that her July-December co-op with Draper, in Cambridge, Mass., allowed her to gain hands-on experience. “My supervisors got to know me very well and, therefore, trusted me

with certain responsibilities that they wouldn’t have with an intern who was just there for three months.”

As a result of being with the company for six months, Espinola says that she obtained a keen understanding of who the company is and the type of work it does. “Draper is a big organization that contributes to various industries of technology, including national security and space exploration. In fact, while I was there, I learned that Draper created the navigation system that helped land us on the moon 50 years ago. Although I didn’t work on engineering projects directly, it was cool to know that something I purchased might help a department create something that could changethe world.”

While at Draper, Espinola worked in the procurement department where she was responsible for fi lling out purchase orders and working closely with vendors to get price quotes. Other responsibil-ities included assisting with an audit of Draper’s purchasing system and managing the process of its biochemical initiative, which is how the company purchases chemicals needed in the labs.

Espinola says that her co-op experience allowed her to hone her career plans. She recently accepted a position as a fi nancial adviser at McAdam Financial in Boston but has hopes to own her own fi rm one day, where she can help people meet their fi nancial goals.

“While I loved my time at Draper, I learned that procurement wasn’t the career for me. Because of my co-op, I learned things about myself, such as that I wanted to work for a larger company and didn’t want to sit behind a computer all day.” n

Can you provide an overview of theco-op program?

Co-ops and internships are both forms of experiential learning. Co-ops tend to be longer than internships (six months is the typical timeframe for a co-op, but they can be shorter or longer, too). Whether the experience is called a co-op or an internship is determined by the employer. Including co-ops under the umbrella of our internship model is important to keep our program at the forefront of experiential learning and ensure our students have access to the best opportunities available.

How is the the co-op model benefi cial to the overall internship program?

We have been developing relationships over the past few years with employers who have co-op opportunities, so we wanted to put a structure in place to open up this option to students. Co-ops are common in STEM fi elds, and as our STEM majors have grown in recent years, it was critical to offer these opportunities for our students. Adding co-ops to our model is also benefi cial because it has opened the door to relationships with premiere employers like IBM, Raytheon, Wayfair, iRobot, Hasbro, Eaton Vance, New Balance, John Hancock, EF Education First, Fidelity, Liberty Mutual, and others.

Reasons students should take advantage of a co-op vs. internship?

Students may want to take advantage of co-ops for several reasons:

• It is the standard for their fi eld, such as engineering;

• Co-ops tend to be longer than intern-ships, so students can get more in-depth experience and become more integrated into the company’s work culture; and

• Employers often use co-ops as a pipeline for hiring students into full-time jobs so they are a good resource for potential post-graduate employment.

projects directly, it was cool to know that

something I purchased might help a department

create something that could change the world."

I knew I wanted to work for State Street after graduation within the � rst month of my internship.”

—Samantha Muzarol ’19

Marketing and business management double major, Samantha Muzarol

’19, found herself as one of only two non-Northeastern University (NU) interns on day one at State Street Corporation in July 2018. While intimidated at fi rst, she soon realized this gave her the edge she needed to stand out amongst the 88 NU Huskies.

Stand out she did. Fast forward one year, and Muzarol is a full-time employee with State Street working as a private equity performance analyst—the same department where she learned and refi ned these skills as an intern.

Muzarol, who is responsible for preparing investment performance reporting, ongoing quality control checks, data research, and analyzing fi nancial information, says that she knew within the fi rst month of her internship that State Street was the place for her. She credits the growth potential and responsibility given—even as an intern—as just a couple of reasons why. “This is the environment that I wanted to work in so that I didn’t get comfortable in a role and not want to leave. I want to be in a company where I can keep learning and moving up.”

Offi cer in State Street’s Private Equity department and Muzarol’s Internship Manager, John Christoforo, shares how internships are not only benefi cial for students, but they are also crucial for companies as they can ease the search process when looking for top candi-dates: “The knowledge gained during an internship sets a student apart from another candidate because of how much they already know about the company. Hiring Samantha was an easy decision because we already knew her work ethic. She was a great fi t for our team as an intern and now as a full-time employee.”

Each internship was a stepping stone to the next and it eventually landed me where I am today.”

—Samantha Muzarol ’19

What are your thoughts on Endicott's internship program?

The internship program is one of the main reasons why I came to Endicott. The program sets students apart from other schools because you graduate with a resume. This is particularly important in business because it allows you to network. Internships give students an idea of what they do or don’t want for a career.

How did Endicott's internship program prepare you for success at State Street?

Endicott’s internship courses prepared me for what to expect and taught me how to succeed in the roles I was given. My internships taught me everything from the basics of running a business to working with clients and now working for a billion-dollar company.

How did the internship program help you narrow your career plans?

Through various internships, I was able to realize what career path I wanted to pursue. All three of the internships I completed were very different from each other. This was helpful for me because it allowed me to see different aspects of business and what parts I was interested in. The size of the companies was also different, which gave me insight into what kind of company I wanted to work for.

Each internship was a stepping stone to the next and it eventually landed me where I am today. The connections I made helped me learn more about the career paths others had taken and allowed me to see what options I had in a particular fi eld and if I wanted to pursue the same path.

While interning at State Street, Muzarol says that she worked on a lot of projects that weren’t originally assigned to her, but ones that she asked to help with. She says that this initiative proved her strong work ethic and desire to learn, which enabled her to turn her internship into a full-time role.

Now that she’s gone through the process, Muzarol has advice for students contemplating their career path. “Put yourself out there when you land an internship. This can be very scary in a

new place, but networking is a skill that will help you for the rest of your career. The business world has a lot to do with who you know, and you will be surprised with who you will meet and how much they could help you.” She also says that asking questions is a key ingredient needed to succeed. “Ask everything you can and absorb as much information as possible. Questions will help you learn more and keep you engaged with the work you are doing.” n

Conservation & Community on the North Shore

Learning by doing: it’s the Endicott motto, one that we are sharing with the community through conservation eff orts.

ACADEMICS

Cape Ann is a region that is teeming with wildlife and diverse ecosystems

ready for inquisitive minds to explore. That’s exactly what happened this past spring thanks to a community partnership between Endicott College and Kestrel Educational Adventures, a non-profi t organization serving Beverly, Salem, Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, and other neighboring Massachusetts towns, focused on outdoor learning.

Better known as the Conservation Club, the partnership was led by Endicott Associate Professor of Biotechnology, Bram Lutton, with the help of one of his students, Vince Giacalone ’21 (biology and biotechnology major), and Kestrel’s founder, Jessica Kagle.

For 10 Wednesdays during the spring, 12 area students from grades 5-10 studied the Ipswich River and different kinds of animals and plants that call it home. The students were picked up from their respective schools by Endicott vans, and then transported to locations along the North Shore. “We try to fi nd locations nearby and to create projects that serve an environmental need for Cape Ann communities,” says Lutton.

Once a location is chosen, the young students take the reins and tailor their own educational experience. It’s the teaching philosophy of David Sobel, author of Childhood and Nature: Design Principles for Educators, and the primary

focus of Kagle and Kestrel. “Sobel is a fi rm believer in students taking responsibility and devising their own inquiry-based studies; they learn so much more that way,” says Lutton. “The children essentially came up with their own system for studying the Ipswich River. They have different jobs, which are chosen democratically, and these assignments change each week.”

While the students spent some time working at Kestrel’s Conservation “Clubhouse,” most of their three-hour experience every Wednesday took place in the fi eld, taking photos and notes, including a couple of days in canoes. At the end of the club’s adventures, they spent a few days putting it all together online at kestreleducation.org/conservation. Says Lutton, “It offers a nice source that illustrates what the Ipswich River has to offer.”

The fi rst club featuring Kestrel and Endicott was a success, and the plan is to repeat the program next spring. n

Conservation Club o� ers a wonderful blend of learning, adventure, and team-building, where every day is more fun than the last."

training 3+2 program—students will earn a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a Master of Science in Athletic Training within fi ve years of study.

This transition is in accordance with the Strategic Alliance (BOC, CAATE, NATA and NATA Foundation), which in 2015 determined that the professional degree for athletic training be at the master’s degree level.

Aligning with Endicott’s focus on experiential learning, students complete three internships before they begin to take courses in the professional phase of the program. Students then complete two years of clinical education specifi c to athletic training. They can also complete distance internships and study abroad.

It is an innovative curricular plan that fosters more opportunities for our students and allows them to pursue extra certifi cations.

“Working at Endicott and building the program over the past 26 years has been incredibly inspiring,” says Dr. Deb Swanton, dean of the School of Sport Science & Fitness Studies and chair for athletic training. “A culture of excellence has been developed that is a tribute to students, alumni, faculty, and staff. The success of the program is truly a team effort, and I thank everyone that has

played a role in helping students reach their potential. We look forward to imple-menting the master’s degree with the exciting opportunities this new curricular model brings. We have built a strong foundation with the undergraduate program and will continue to move from strength to strength.”

Endicott's undergraduate program has an outstanding reputation with pass rates currently in the top nine percent nationally. Our three-year, first-attempt aggregate pass rate for the Board of Certification exam stands at an astounding 97 percent. All of our 2017 and 2018 graduates (100 percent) passed on the first attempt compared to the national average of 83 percent.

Employed at every level of sport and in a variety of allied health settings, a number of Endicott alumni work at area high schools, universities, orthopedic centers, rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, and with professional teams. The rigorous curriculum, combined with extensive clinical education experiences, allow our students to learn from faculty and practitioners with expertise in a variety of areas.

Endicott athletic training students complete over 1,200 hours of clinical rotations throughout their four years, and many of those experiences happen right here on campus thanks to the great relationship between Endicott athletics and the program.

The competitive NCAA Division III environment and variety of sports make Endicott an optimal clinical site. Students learn from experienced athletic training staff members who teach courses and also supervise students during their clinical field experiences. Together, the staff members and students have a meaningful effect on our teams’ success by getting our student-athletes physically prepared to take the field.

Long History of Success

Another strength of the Endicott program is that alumni work for a number of our clinical sites and serve as preceptors supervising current students. This is a huge benefit, as they have a

tremendous understanding of the rigor of the program and can set appropriate expectations for students and challenge them to meet their full potential. n

Athletic Training: A Graduateʼs Perspective

Will Dejardins ʼ10, an athletic trainer at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital North Shore, credits field experience as the reason he stays involved in the athletic training program as a preceptor, or experienced practitioner who supervises clinical practice: “Courses offered are challenging and the professors are profoundly knowledgeable, but truly the clinical component is where athletic training skills get tested. My internships

granted me firsthand experience in the field, and the knowledge I gained in those circumstances was the most valuable. It is because of my personal experience going through the program as a student that I wanted to give back to the program from the other side. As a preceptor, I can create an environment for students that allows them the oppor-tunity to apply what they are learning in the classroom directly in the field.”

ACADEMICS

To learn more about the Endicott Scholars program, including information on academically challenging and engaging seminars, visit endicott.edu/honors.

Under the leadership of Dr. Sara Quay, dean of education, the Endicott

College Scholars program is an interdis-ciplinary honors curriculum that gives the College’s most ambitious students the opportunity to study topics in-depth and from a variety of academic perspectives.

Students in the program take a sequence of honors courses beginning with a foundational seminar focused on the fi eld of cultural studies. Upper-level seminars are taught by faculty experts

from across the College, and the topics and faculty change each semester. During the Fall ʼ19 semester, four upper-level seminars are offered, including The Psychology of Everyday Decisions; American Slavery; Evolution of Religion and Science; and Ideologies of Music, Art, and Literature. Scholars choose seminars that are interesting to them, regardless of their academic major, creating a unique opportunity to engage with students from across the College in an advanced study of the topic.

The learning objectives of the Endicott Scholars program are woven into every course: to develop the habit of intellectual curiosity; identify ways of thinking and knowing within academic and professional disciplines; understand the concepts of “culture” and “theory” from a variety of academic perspectives; comprehend challenging readings in primary and secondary sources; write academic papers that are intellectually sound and stylistically profi cient; and adopt leadership roles in and out of class.

How has being an Endicott Scholar benefi ted you personally?

The content I learned from my fi rst year as an Endicott Scholar has enabled me to look differently at the world. I have improved my analyzing skills and have become a better writer. I have become more comfortable pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and to be more confi dent in my own abilities. It even helped give me the courage to become an Orientation Leader.

How has the Endicott Scholar faculty supported you?

A large part of the reason why the program has had such a positive effect on me is because of the professor who taught my fi rst honors seminar, Dean of Education and Director of the Endicott

Scholars Program, Dr. Sara Quay. Dean Quay made diffi cult concepts easy to understand, was always available to provide help, and went above and beyond to see her students succeed. After only being in her class a few months, she was willing to write a letter of recommendation for me, enabling me to become a Writing Center tutor.

Was there a specifi c assignment that stands out during your fi rst year as an Endicott Scholar?

The ideology paper I wrote in Honors 100 (HON 100) stands out as a memorable project. For this assignment, we had to choose a piece of culture—television show, music video, or movie—and analyze it from the point of view of gender ideology, political ideology, or economic ideology. I chose to write

about one of my favorite movies, 20th Century Women, from the point of view of gender ideology. Writing this paper opened my eyes not only to the role of gender ideology in the fi lm, but also in my own life, enabling me to draw parallels between my own experience as a woman and academic texts—something that I greatly value in my education. Because I was taking a class called Feminist Theory (LST 320) at the same time, I was able to draw on the content I had learned in that course, which made the paper both more interesting and informative. I found that connecting HON 100 coursework with my other classes was something I could do often, which enabled me to advance my understanding of the topics I was learning. n

Student-Faculty Research Creates Collaborative Coursework

At Endicott, undergraduate students have the rare opportunity to work on research with faculty, leading to co-authoring published materials while preparing peers to be partners.

Research serves an integral role in enriching the student education experience at Endicott, encouraging the College’s community of scholars

and professionals to learn and discover in real-time through collaborative coursework. See what some of our research teams are working on.

Dr. Bram Lutton, Associate Professor of Biology & Biotechnology

Research area: How physiological systems such as reproduction and immunity are connected and have evolved over hundreds of millions of years.

Dr. Lutton recently published a full-length, peer-reviewed research article that includes Endicott students as co-authors. In 2018, the culmination of fi ve years of work, Lutton published a paper via the Association for Psychological Science with senior thesis students, Alex Dimond and Brittany Ruth, and collaborators, including Professor of Psychology and renowned researcher, John Kelley.

Beyond brainpower, students contribute to a collaborative process that strengthens the research behind the study. “If you have a lot of fantastic students in need of experiential training, then it becomes possible to accomplish a great deal. Faculty can train ‘rising scientists’ to become members of a cohesive team, practicing successful communication and developing their skillset to excel at the diverse requirements of the scien-tifi c and medical industries,” says Lutton.

In the social science division, we really focus on preparing our students to either use quantitative or qualitative social science data to write their research. If you’re constantly in the practice, then by the time you hit senior thesis, it won’t be so bad.”

Dr. Anna R. McAlister, Associate Professor of Marketing

Research area: Interdisciplinary research on consumer behavior in the areas of food and beverage marketing

In 2018, Dr. McAlister partnered with senior Shannon Harris on a study of kids’ menus and how the menu format impacts food choices. At the 2019 American Academy of Advertising conference, Harris had the opportunity to present the full fi ndings in “Kids’ Restaurant Menus: Formatting Can Signifi cantly Impact Food Choice” during a session about research collaborations between undergraduate students and faculty.

McAlister notes that working with students allows for a fresh perspective on research. “The professor should already be an expert in his or her fi eld,” she says. “Although this means the professor brings a wealth of knowledge to the project, it may also mean they are a little narrow in their thinking since there is typically an established way of thinking about a particular topic. Even if they have done some preliminary reading in the area, the student is a ‘newbie.’ As such, they can bring new ideas to the table and that’s refreshing.” n

This past summer Dr. Ober started the process of building a Marine Ecology and Climate Change Lab with the help of Hayden Wheeler, an undergraduate research assistant.

“Part of being at Endicott is that you actually get to know your professor,” says Wheeler, a junior who spent the summer photographing, measuring, and weighing species, and collecting and analyzing data. “I think, especially for STEM and all the sciences, it’s important

to understand the types of research that come out of the fi elds. It will help you understand everything as you move through your career.”

The lab space, located in the Ginger Judge Science Center, will include a recirculating seawater system, the ability to manipulate the environment (i.e. temperature), and will allow for the culture and maintenance of marine organisms.

Dr. Gordon Ober, Assistant Professor of Environmental Science

Research area: Measuring physiological responses of seaweed and marine inver-tebrates to changes in temperature and pH, exploring the role of local adaptation in response to climate change, and monitoring long-term changes within marine communities.

Dr. Adilia James, Assistant Professor of Sociology

Research area: Social inequalities in work, occupations, and education; gender and sexuality theories; and race and ethnic studies

At times, faculty research can overlap with coursework in surprising ways; Dr. James used her recent work examining the underrepresentation of racial minority groups in veterinary medicine to help students understand several research methodologies.

“My students were struggling with how to interview people, how to do observational data, and how to analyze that data once they get it,” James explains. “What I ended up doing was

taking anonymized versions of (my) interview transcripts and getting them to my honors students. They learned how to analyze interview data, how to write interview data, and connect the data back to the literature. My students really liked that exercise.”

Dr. James currently teaches “Introduction to Sociology,” “Social Problems,” “Race and Ethnicity in U.S. Society,” and “Research Methods.”

Upon receiving her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, Jaclyn Flaherty had her heart set on a career working for the government. After an initial job search, she sought ways to give her resume a

competitive edge. Her mentors recommended the master’s degree program in homeland security studies at the Van Loan School at Endicott College. A hands-on fi eld of study with a high success rate in job placement, the program gave Flaherty the network of support she needed to follow her dreams.

After graduation, Flaherty landed a job as a cybersecurity analyst at Raytheon—a technology company specializing in defense, civil government, and cybersecurity solutions based in Waltham, Mass.

“Pursuing a cyber job was not easy. Most companies are looking for people with some extra certifi cation or experience to back up their knowledge,” says Flaherty. She found that extra edge at Endicott College. “When I entered the program, I fell in love instantly with the cohort, school, and professors around me.”

The M.S. in Homeland Security Studies covers areas of terrorism, emergency management, and cybersecurity; a cybersecurity certifi cate is also available. The cybersecurity courses train students for leadership roles in cyber analysis and cyberattack prevention/management, and prepare them to sit for the CompTIA Security+ exam. Perhaps surprising to some, a tech background is not required, as was the case for Flaherty. From communication to business, hospitality to criminal justice, those from various backgrounds succeed in the program.

“My professors gave me the motivation and the ability to really pursue a job," says Flaherty. “The other colleges I looked into, it was mostly bookwork."

"As a female leader in homeland security, I am dedicated to providing future women leaders new ideas and opportunities this fi eld can offer," says Assistant Director of Homeland Security Studies, Engrid Backstrom. "We are extremely proud of Jaclyn for her hard work and her future in cybersecurity. She took advantage of every opportunity and broke through the barriers of a male dominated fi eld."

The homeland security studies program now offers an online-only option for the cybersecurity certifi cate, opening the program up to a national and global audience of interested students.

“There is a real need out there,” says Homeland Security Studies Director, Paul Joyce, Ph.D. “In the cyber fi eld, we are looking at upwards of 3.5 million unfi lled positions in the next several years, so it’s an area of real growth.”

He adds, “We think that the private sector is an area that’s going to be of interest for homeland security grads, and several alumni are already employed there, which is very encouraging.”

Recent graduates have secured positions in both the public and private sector working for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Biogen, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Guard, and Endicott alumni-owned

cybersecurity company Steel Root. Faculty networking and peer-to-peer connections play a strong role in the job search.

The hope is for more students to realize the depth of opportunities

available in emergency management and cybersecurity —including humanitarian relief, cyberattack prevention, and terrorist threat containment.

“One of the exciting and challenging parts about a career in homeland security is that it’s evolving almost as we speak,” explains Dr. Joyce, adding

that one of the main focuses among the faculty is to keep the program curriculum contem-porary. “All of our faculty are practi-tioners in the fi eld—from the FBI to DHS to the emergency management fi eld—and they play an important role in understanding the dynamics of what is going on in the fi eld and bringing that into the classroom and the curriculum.”

Because of the nature of Flaherty’s security work for Raytheon, she can’t say much about what her day-to-day duties are. But she can say this: “Working for Raytheon has allowed me to give back to those around me. My next goals are to hopefully land a job as an intelligence analyst with the FBI or the Offi ce of Intelligence and Analysis in the Boston area.” She has a number of prospects and thanks the homeland security program for that. n

Chive is a full-service catering and event design company located in the heart of downtown Beverly on Rantoul Street. As a business, the company values a sustainable approach to creating a holistic event experience. “In terms of the aesthetic or the vibe, we lean on our client’s intention for the event,” says Chive co-founder Jennifer Freedson, who received her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Endicott. “When we are given the opportunity, we can really bring in every aspect of an event to tell a story.” For Freedson, the ability to tell a story through an experience began at Endicott.

Initially, Freedson’s career plans were to be an architect. “I was starting out in interior design and kind of wanted to work my way into the architectural fi eld,” she remembers. Along the way, she worked in hospitality to pay for school and volunteered around the North Shore. “I wanted to fulfi ll my desire to be connected to nature and sustainability and learning more about food and local food culture. I felt a love for all three industries but didn’t feel fulfi lled in just one. I didn’t see one as the path, which was a little disheartening.”

Then she met her Chive business “partner in crime” Lindsey Wishart at Endicott.

“We were waiting for our very fi rst art classes to start,” she remembers. “We were sitting on the front steps and just connected.” Over the years,

the pair found themselves in conver-sations about wanting to create a local experience with fare that was pleasing to all the senses. Two years after Freedson graduated, she resumed talks with Wishart, and Chive was born.

“When I saw there was a way to align all of those loves into this one business that we were able to create, it felt very enlightening and very exciting; very much like it was unlocking this path to using all the skills I learned at Endicott and also applying other skills that I learned all at once,” says Freedson. “Our whole vibe is approachable, comfortable, warm, inviting, and intentional.”

Now as a business owner, Freedson has been able to mentor and support internships for Endicott students looking to pursue a similar path.

“We’ve been able to come do talks in different classes and give inspiration for design and interior design and hospitality groups,” she says. “One of the things that really attracted me to Endicott was the internship program. I felt like it was really going to give me a chance to really try the fi eld, connect with people and get experience working.”

Her advice to students still fi guring out their path: “I constantly tell them, whatever you are studying I am sure is going to apply to what you end up doing. You just have to put yourself out there and give yourself lots of chances to take opportunities, even if they seem disconnected, because likely they will come together.” She adds, “I defi nitely got that out of Endicott.”(continued page 28)

Th e Case of Emil Diesel & the Incredible Journey Along the Way

It was 2012, four years after Patricia Scangas ’70 and her husband,

Matthew, had offi cially brought their case against the German government.

For years Patricia had been listening to her husband recount his East German father’s struggle with the Ministry for State Security (better known as Stasi)as they took his art collection through illegal taxation in 1974. If that sounds like an intriguing plot line, you’re not alone; in 2012 Patricia began turning her court case notes and countless fi rsthand accounts from her husband into a novel. The book is called The Case of Emil Diesel, and she wrote it under the pen name Patricia Menton.

The book, which won Best Fiction from the Pacifi c Book Awards 2019, is a fi ctionalized take on the journey.

“I decided to write the book in fi ction since the case was still ongoing. I added Matthew (Max Diesel in the book), his family’s confl icts, the story about his father (Emil Diesel in the story), his art, the Stasi and German Democratic Republic, or GDR (East Germany), and you have a compelling novel.”

We recently asked Patricia more about her award-winning novel.

Why did the Stasi do this?

In 1974, the Stasi under the GDR confi scated the art by accusing his father, an art collector, as a dealer, therefore illegally placing an exorbitant tax upon him so that he could not pay, forcing him to sell his art to the government. Then they would sell the art to the West for hard currency as well as place it in their museums.

So what happened next?

In 2004, my husband received a book in the mail from his half-sister from Germany. It was a story about art

collectors whose art was taken illegally through taxation. I told him, “Why don’t you go to try to reclaim your art?” We decided to go to the museums to fi nd out what we could do. For four years, on our own, we went to the museums and they said, “Well, it’s up to the state.” So, we fi nally did get an attorney in 2008, and that’s when we were able to continue the case.

How would you describe the book?

The story is about fi ghting for truth and justice against all odds. We were up against the state of Germany and the museums. The story is also about facing life’s confl icts. We didn’t know what we were going to do when we were up against the government. The book is fi lled with twists and turns of intrigue, suspense, and emotional drama of real-life characters as Max is caught up in a web of conspiracy to reclaim his father’s precious art collection. n

� e story is about � ghting for truth and

justice against all odds. We were up against

the state of Germany and the museums.

� e story is also about facing life’s con� icts."

� e story is about

Fighting for truth and justice across the globe; the fascinating fi ctionalized take on one family’s real-life struggle against the Stasi.

These iconic publications and companies are just a few of the clients Endicott College alumna Stephanie Pfriender Stylander ’80 has in her portfolio. And

the list of celebrities she’s captured with her lens for her transcendent shots is equally as awe-inspiring—Kate Moss, Keith Richards, and Lenny Kravitz, among many others.

Pfriender Stylander’s passion for art began as a young girl, and the rock-and-roll fan’s passion grew from there. She remembers seeing The Kinks perform as a 14-year-old, which turned out to be a life-changing event for her. The older

Kate Moss, “Seek,” 1992, Harper's Bazaar Uomo, New York City

In 1992, Kate Moss was completely unknown at the time I chose her for my editorial magazine story. I was living in Paris, and Alessandro Calascibetta, the fashion editor for Harper’s Bazaars Uomo magazine, asked me to shoot a love story of a young couple on the streets of New York City. My inspiration for this story came from the great French fi lm director, Jean-Luc Godard. In many of his fi lms his muse was Anna Karina, whose acting and face I loved. She was beautiful in an unusual way, with wit and charm. I fl ew back home and went to see my favorite model agent, telling her that I was looking for someone who was different, more like an actress, unknown and unusual. She had just gotten several faxes, with pictures of this girl from London: “young, very petite, quirky, but something about her I think you will like.” I knew immediately Kate was the right person for my story. This series of Kate has become important within the history of fashion photography. This spring, Christian Roth, the eyewear designer of the black glasses that Kate wears in my pictures, just reissued the iconic frames with my images of Kate from the 1992 shoot in a worldwide campaign. It was fantastic to collaborate on this project after all these years.

Lesson:

Follow your instinct. Everyone said, “Who is she? Are you sure? You could get this famous model, etc.," but I knew she had something special and unusual, which is what I wanted.

You can see more of Stephanie's work on her website, stephaniepfrienderstylander.com,and also on her Instagram, @stephaniepfrienderstylander.

girls from the high school were shooting photos for their yearbook, and Pfriender Stylander was entranced by the cameras they were holding. “I wanted immediately to understand what all the numbers and dials meant and did,” she says. “The next day I followed them into the darkroom and I fell in love with the medium.”

She went on to hone her skills at Endicott, where she studied photography and graduated with an Associate in Science with honors. She lived in Bullock Hall, which also housed the photography department—offi ces, studios, and the darkroom. “My life revolved around learning about photography,” she recalls. “I was very motivated and therefore got a lot out of my Endicott experience.”

Her career experiences have brought her around the globe, and she recently compiled some of her most iconic shots for her fi rst monograph, The Untamed Eye. “The reception of my book has been wonderful—it quickly sold out,” she says. “Publishing this book has introduced my work to fi ne art galleries worldwide and the fi ne art market of selling photographs to collectors.”

With that, let’s take a look at the stories and lessons behind some of Pfriender Stylander’s most famous work.

Dolce Vita, “Dolce Vita,” 1993, British GQ, Rome

Beautiful Rome, beautiful couple, and a cinematic fashion editorial story for the magazine. The story was infl uenced by the great Italian fi lm director, Federico Fellini, and his fi lm, Dolce Vita. My crew and I went all over Rome creating many pictures after we location-scouted and decided on where to go. This picture was created by surprise. One night we all went out to dinner after the shoot, and we stumbled upon this restaurant, Dolce Vita (Sweet Life). I turned to the fashion editor and she turned to me and we said we have to make a picture here. So the assistants and makeup and hair artists went back to the hotel with the models to style them and do the makeup and hair—my assistant to get the cameras and the lights. Back they come and boom we did this picture. I love the spontaneity; I love the expressions, the attitude, and the wink to Italian cinema and beauty.

Lesson:

Be spontaneous. Don’t be so rigid that you can’t see anything else. Hopefully you will work with a good client who feels the same way.

Keith Richards, “The Third Eye,” 1993, British GQ, New York City

Keith was very cool, the defi nition of cool. I created a set in the studio that echoed a stage set, all black, hot lights, ashtrays, drinks, light stands, and ashes. And away we went. My cinematic approach and his natural movement with music, smoke, and talk created this very beautiful vibe. This image was created with a macro lens, so I was very, very close. When I saw that smoke ring land on his forehead, I knew this was THE image from the shoot and also, in the world of images, a famous portrait.

Lesson:

Not to be overwhelmed. This shoot was early in my career, and he was a very famous person. Of course I was nervous, but I had a plan. I knew how I wanted to photograph him, so I kept my creative boundaries around me and didn’t get thrown off by fame. I think it is important to know what you want to do when you photograph a star. They are used to scripts of word and—in this case— music. Sometimes it doesn’t work or something else happens, but you always should know what you want your picture to say even if the way you get there is a different road map.

Luckily for Endicott students, the College now offers undergraduate programs in photography (Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Science) where they, too, can pursue their passions through the lens.

CAMPUS NEWSCAMPUS NEWS

As Endicott College continues to advance as an institution, we’re taking sustainability action to ensure our growth can create positive change. Endicott fosters a healthy and sustainable community that confronts the challenges of climate change and sustainability head-on with innovative solutions that impact our campus and beyond.

Some of our recent sustainability initiatives are featured in the new Samuel C. Wax Academic Center, where we introduced healthier and chemical-free furniture as well as an energy effi cient heating and cooling system that received a grant of over $100,000 through the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC). Green building highlights also include all-LED lighting and controls, water bottle fi lling stations, low-fl ow water fi xtures, standardized waste/recycling bins, and universal signage that will be incorporated across campus, and centralized business hubs for printing. This is the fi rst location where we are piloting furniture that complies with the Healthier Hospitals Healthier Interiors guidelines that reduce unnecessary

chemicals added to furniture such as fl ame retardants, perfl uorinated compounds, formaldehyde, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and antimicrobials. Healthier materials will improve indoor air quality and our community’s health.

Anthony Michetti, director of sustainability at Endicott, explains, “By addressing added chemicals of concern in the materials found in our buildings, we are able to partner with procurement and our vendors to help shift the overall market. Larger players such as Google, Kaiser Permanente, and Harvard University have taken the lead on this, but it is meaningful for an institution our size to contribute. The sustainability features that are part of the new building will help reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change while addressing the health of our students, faculty, and staff. We are also piloting healthier materials in several other locations including the Ginger Judge Science Center expansion.” n

Endicott earned a Silver Rating in 2016 from the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) and is consistently recognized as one of Princeton Review’s Green Colleges.

Thriving Community Partnership

What started as a friendly interaction over breakfast has turned into so much more for Endicott College and Bill Cummings.

Bill Cummings’ Endicott College connection started with a familiar

interaction, one that many people associated with the College experienced at some level.

“I met (former) Endicott President, Dr. Richard E. Wylie, at breakfast for a Beverly Chamber of Commerce event when we fi rst began development of the Cummings Center,” recalls Cummings. “I happened to be sitting next to him.

Over a long period of time, I developed a tremendous respect for Dick and through him, of course, for the College.”

That breakfast turned into a thriving community partnership between Endicott and Cummings, who founded the highly successful commercial real estate company Cummings Properties—based in Woburn, Mass.—in 1970. Cummings and Wylie also shared plenty of laughs throughout the years as they

would joke back and forth about who had the most white hair.

Cummings—well-known as a billion-dollar philanthropist who recently completed his self-written autobiography, Starting Small and Making It Big—was drawn to Endicott’s entrepreneurial spirit.

SOUNDINGS • Fall 2019

And thanks in part to the $100K for 100 program, Endicott’s entrepreneurial spirit continues to thrive. Over the years, Endicott received three grants from Cummings Foundation of $100,000 each.

The last two grants have gone directly to Endicott’s Colin and Erika Angle Center for Entrepreneurship, including as recently as 2018. This latest grant benefi ts thousands of community members in addition to students, faculty, and alumni by expanding the Entrepreneur/Executive-in-Residence position, establishing a Startup Success Offi ce (SSO), offering a startup boot camp open to the public, and setting up a regional network for women entrepreneurs.

The $100K for 100 program is designed to support nonprofi ts in Middlesex, Essex, and Suffolk counties. Through this place-based initiative, Cummings Foundation aims to give back to areas where it owns commercial buildings, including Cummings Center in Beverly, Mass. This program is a crucial part of Cummings Foundation’s $20 Million Grant Program, which also includes 25 10-year grants of up to $500,000 each. In 2019, that $20 million number rose to $25 million.

Beyond the incredibly successful $100K for 100 program and its associ-ation with Endicott, Cummings and his wife, Joyce, also have links to the College as the 2016 Commencement speakers.

Cummings is also proud to have eight Endicott graduates currently working

full-time at Cummings Properties in a variety of roles. “All of these colleagues are excellent representatives of Endicott,” he says. This past academic year, Cummings also returned to Endicott for an author talk and Q&A session regarding his autobiography.

Whenever he speaks in front of a crowd of young, aspiring entrepreneurs, Cummings tends to include the following advice, in no particular order: effort is going to have an enormous impact on your careers; it is usually easy to change careers along the way; it is extremely important to curb week-to-week spending and develop a regular pattern of meaningful savings; values and hard work are crucial; and everyone needs to get satisfaction out of what they do, not just money.

A Q&A session often follows his book talks and other speeches, and one of the questions he’s frequently asked is about the giving pledge—his and Joyce’s commitment to donate the vast majority of their fortune to philanthropic efforts. People usually ask him how his adult children feel about that, but Cummings says they all are extremely supportive. At last count, Cummings Foundation has awarded grants totaling $260 million and that number continues to grow. n

Last October, Bill Cummings visited Endicott to connect with business and entrepre-neurship students via a talk; book signing for Starting Small and Making It Big, An Entrepreneur's Journey to Billion-Dollar Philanthropist; and Q&A session.

Dr. Steven DiSalvo recently traveled to the Cummings Center to meet with Endicott graduates who are now part of the Cummings team. They are: (seated, left to right) Chris Reilly, Larissa Thoin, (standing, left to right) Taylor Lucas, John Halsey, Jake Heger, DiSalvo, Jeff Turri, Abby Johnson, and Kerri Welch.

Service Is Our StanceHelping our community—and the world—is who we are and what we do. Here are some highlights of our impact and reach.

Service has long been a vital part of our community here at Endicott

College. It’s likely you cannot tell our story without describing the deep roots our community, area partners, students, faculty, and staff have for giving back and serving those in need.

With the total number of community service hours performed during 2018-19 totaling 24,883 hours, it’s clear that giving back is part of our DNA. In fact, Endicott student community service participation stands at 56 percent, which is double the national average.

Recognized for Doing GoodIn a celebration at Suffolk University,

it was announced that our students completed the most hours of community service during the second annual Boston-area college Community Service Challenge, a friendly six-week compe-tition among colleges and universities, organized by Suffolk, that increases each school’s community service

engagement. This year’s participants were Endicott, Suffolk University, Babson College, Fisher College, Lesley University, Olin College, and Regis College. In line with the competition’s aim of “doing common good for the Commonwealth,” all participating schools made impressive community service contributions. Endicott led the way with more than 9,000 hours of community service over the course of the competition.

Endicott students engaged in more than 100 projects from March 1 to April 15, many with local chapters of national organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Family Promise, Rise Against Hunger, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the American Cancer Society, among others. n

Service is truly engrained in Endicott’s culture. Every day I feel lucky that I get to work with students who put giving back and supporting others at the top of their priority list, as well as diverse nonpro� ts that give us ample platforms to serve and help those in need."

ATHLETICS

Successfully balancing academics and athletics is no easy feat.

However, if you look at the lengthy list of accomplishments that our student- athletes achieved in the last year, you may think otherwise.

Hard Work Pays Off During the 2018-19 Academic YearSince the fall of 2016, Endicott College has held the top spot on the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Fall and Spring Academic All-Conference lists for its student-athletes’ academic achievements—setting a new school record with 107 student-athletes named to the spring list.

Mutually-Benefi cial Partnership with the Division of Academic SuccessIn order to set student-athletes up for success, Endicott’s Division of Academic Success closely collaborates with coaches to facilitate a relationship where student-athletes make academics their top priority and are familiar with the resources that are available to help them succeed.

“Our services are essential to student-athletes as they navigate through their courses by aiming to manage their time, as well as think critically about the content within their major. We support student-athletes through our energetic staff members who create an environment that communicates that balance is possible,” shares Director of the Tutoring Center, Brittany Potter ’16 M’17.

Not only do student-athletes utilize the resources that the Division of Academic Success provides, but 33 percent of peer tutors in the Tutoring & Writing Centers are in fact student-athletes.

As a former Endicott women’s tennis student-athlete, Potter recognizes the tough balance of being an athlete, a student, and a member of the

College community. “We provide our student-athlete peer tutors with fl exi-bility surrounding their hours. If they have practice or a tournament to attend, they are able to reschedule their tutoring hours for another day.” These accom-modations are communicated to all peer tutors who take time out of their busy schedules to help classmates, not just student-athletes.

Head Football Coach, Paul McGonagle, is a big advocate for student support services after seeing the positive effects they had on his team. “The Division of Academic Success has been invaluable for my team,” he says. “The players know to ask for help when they need it and have learned time-management skills which are essential for being a NCAA Division III athlete.”

In the 2018-19 academic year, the Tutoring & Writing Centers had a record-breaking 10,000 visits.

Potter attributes these numbers to the center’s welcoming environment, where the stigma that once surrounded tutoring is no longer present. n

More Than Just a NameMeet Our Named Building Donors

What is behind a name? In part two of our recurring feature, we take a look at how two Endicott College alumnae have had lasting impacts on the community

through their support of the sciences and athletics.

Since its inception in 2003, Hempstead Stadium has served as a hub for Endicott Athletics—and the College as a whole—with marquee events such as Commencement and the recent inaugu-ration of our seventh President, Steven R. DiSalvo, Ph.D.

� e stadium arch is beautiful and classic. It de� nitely has a Charleston feel with that black ironwork. I love it. And I love seeing kids run through there and jump up and touch it.”

—Melissa Hempstead ’69

Once known simply as Endicott Stadium, the home of the Gulls’ football, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and

women’s rugby, and men’s and women’s soccer teams went through a transfor-mation in 2015 when it was formally dedicated to Melissa Hempstead ’69 (Associate in Liberal Studies) during Homecoming & Family Weekend.

Hempstead, a huge football fan, has been an active Endicott community member for years through the Alumni Council and as vice chair of the Board of Trustees. Her dedicated commitment to and generous philanthropic support of the College didn’t go unnoticed, as former Endicott President, Dr. Richard E. Wylie, said he would like to name the football stadium after her.

Her response? “You got it! That’s perfect for me.”

Hempstead, who owns the furniture store Coralberry Cottage in Mount Pleasant S.C., remembers coming for the unveiling of the new stadium arch with her business partner. “They pulled the cloth off of it and our fi rst thoughts were, ‘that’s exactly what I would have designed if I designed it myself,’” she recalls. “It’s beautiful and classic. It defi nitely has a Charleston feel with that black ironwork. I love it. And I love seeing kids run through there and jump up and touch it.”

Hempstead Stadium

The Stadium is equipped with a FieldTurf surface and seating for 3,000 spectators, including new visitor stands with an 800-person capacity, built in 2012. It has a permanent scoreboard, concession stand, outdoor basketball courts, and electronically-equipped press box with a BOSE public address system.

Hempstead’s love for sports is contagious, especially for football. She supports all Boston sports teams, including the New England Patriots, and she even met Tom Brady while at her home on Block Island, R.I. “I’m in two football pools every single year, and I’m kind of a fanatic about football,” she says. As an educator, she also spent time in Louisiana while obtaining her master’s degree in special education at Louisiana State University (LSU), a school that certainly knows a thing or two about football.

But when it comes to colleges, it all started with Endicott for Hempstead. “Endicott gave me a voice that I never had before,” she says. And now her name will forever be etched on the stadium where endearing Endicott moments happen every day.

When the Ginger Judge Science Center opened in 2013, it was the beginning of a technological revolution here at Endicott. Students in STEM, humanities, and social science majors now had a new state-of-the-art facility where they could fuel their passions and dream big.

It turns out those dreams were really big, as a Science Center addition opened fewer than six years later in 2019 to accommodate the growing STEM programs at the College, including the new engineering major and a larger Makerspace.

I’ve seen the College come from basically nothing to what it is today, which is incredible.”

—Ginger Judge ’51

As the named donor for the home of Endicott’s sciences, Virginia (Ginger) Warwick Judge ’51 (Associate in Science) has seen the College transform from a small, two-year women’s college into the bustling and innovative hub that it is today. And the Board of Trustees member is proud to have helped along the way. “I’ve seen the College come from basically nothing to what it is today, which is incredible,” says Judge, who is the retired president/CEO of Honeycomb Company of America, Inc.

As Judge recalls, conversations for the Science Center began with Dr. Wylie. “I guess we got talking about it and it was nothing defi nitive,” says Judge. “A few months later Dr. Wylie mentioned he wanted to name the Center in my name. Then I was at Endicott when they opened the building and there was my name on the building. Honestly, I think he had the idea of my name on the Center in his head for a long time back but I’m not sure. I was up there for the opening of the addition, which is marvelous.” Unfortunately, the expansion opened after the passing of Dr. Wylie, a man who was instrumental in the growth of the College as the “Hard Hat President.”

Ginger Judge Science Center & Expansion Wing

The Science Center and expansion house student lounge areas, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Gully’s, and modern laboratories. Students train in innovative lab facilities, learn alongside startups, and collaborate with teammates in a fully-equipped Makerspace—with 3D printers, 3D scanners, microcontrollers, and sensors.

Judge loves returning to campus and hearing from students and faculty about the exciting and innovative ideas they are forming in the Science Center, including the intrepid Ginger Judge boat’s voyage across the Atlantic Ocean all the way to France. It’s a perfect symbol of how far the College and its science programs have come, and the important role Judge has played along the way. n
