Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center
Bioinformatics Research Team Receives Awards
In a ceremony held in April, the College's new sports and recreation center was named in honor of Senator Bill Bradley. Construction on the $25 million, 80,000 square foot center, which began in January, is expected to be completed by fall 2004. In honoring Senator Bradley, the Ramapo College Board of Trustees noted, "Bill Bradley is the epitome of the scholar/athlete and he represents the best product of the American higher education system."
For the second year in a row, a Ramapo College undergraduate bioinformatics research team was awarded first prize at the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB) conference at CUNY-KCC, New York. Their presentation was entitled, "A 'G'rich Element Conserved in Human Pre-mRNAs May Be Involved in RNA Processing Site Selection." A week earlier, the team won second prize at the Fifth Annual Undergradu-
New Major: Integrated Science Studies
New Major: B.S. in Biology/M.S. in Physician Assistance
A new Integrated Science Studies (ISS) major at Ramapo College is the first in the state to address the interdisciplinary education needs of students planning to work as science journalists, for science-based corporations such as pharmaceuticals, and in many areas of government. The ISS major will prepare science students for careers in public administration, environmental regulation and administration, science journalism, science and technology assessment and administration in business, business administration in science-based services, law, and for graduate and professional studies in business administration and science. Students will be accepted into the program beginning fall 2003. For more information on the integrated science studies major, contact Dr. Bernard Langer, 201.684.7716.
A joint offering by Ramapo College of New Jersey and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) will combine undergraduate study in biology with graduate education in a physician assistant program. Students completing the program will receive a Bachelor of Science in Biology degree from Ramapo College and a Master of Science in Physician Assistance conferred by UMDNJ. The program will include three years (full-time) undergraduate education at Ramapo College followed by three years (full-time) professional education at UMDNJ. For more information about the major, contact Dr. Rena Bacon, professor of biology and advisor to the Pre-Med Club, 201.684.7727.

Freshmen Retention Reaches New High Retention of first-time, full-time freshmen reached an all-time high last semester with 96.7 percent of those enrolled in the fall 2002 semester returning in spring 2003. This is the third increase in as many years and, according to Peter Goetz, dean of enrollment management, is a result of the College's increasing selectivity in admissions. In addition, Goetz's office has stepped up efforts to monitor academic progress and assist students experiencing difficulty.
Faculty in the News
Jonathan Lipkin, associate professor of digital media at Ramapo and a member of the graduate faculty of the School of Visual Arts, is a co-author (with Charles H. Traub) of In the Realm of the Circuit. The book is an introduction to the aesthetic and historical precedents of our multi-faceted human dialog of the new electronic media. It fills the need for a text in graduate and undergraduate courses in computer art and creativity, history of art, and graphic design as well as any course that engages new media. Dr. Henri Lustiger-Thaler, associate professor of sociology, was named president of the International Sociological Association's Research Committee on Social Classes and Social Movements. In conjunction with his appointment, he organized two conferences: a regional conference on "Asian Movements," held at Hitosubashi University in Tokyo in July; and the International Institute of Sociology conference, held in Beijing, also in July. In addition, Lustiger-Thaler was invited to join the Editorial Board of the Monograph Series of
Current Sociology. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) have named Dr. Thomas J. Heed, associate professor of history, the 2002 New Jersey Professor of the Year. Heed uses multimedia/technology to enhance student learning in very creative ways. He has built a Web "world" for his students so that they can see, hear, research, and experience the periods and places of American history that he teaches. He brings other parts of the globe to his students at Ramapo College and he takes Ramapo to students in other countries, most notably Russia. Working with a professor at the Volgograd State Pedagogical University in Russia, Dr. Heed has obtained grant funding (currently from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs) to engage in joint ventures in American Studies with the faculty and students in Volgograd. Dr. Clifford Peterson, professor of international politics, was named New Jersey Global Educator of the Year at the New Jersey Global Educator's Third Annual International Education Conference. For over thirty years, Peterson has been involved in Ramapo's international programs and initiatives. As primary architect, author of and co-director of the Challenge Grant, Dr. Peterson
was instrumental in Ramapo's defining itself as a global college and was responsible for initial negotiations to forge exchange agreements with Shanghai Teachers University and Volgograd State Pedagogical University. Art of the First Cities, a just-concluded exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, included a section organized by Dr. Ira Spar, professor of history and ancient studies and a research Assyriologist at the Metropolitan Museum. The section, "Legacy of the Third Millennium," explores concepts of history, culture, law, and religion developed during the third millennium in ancient Sumer and transmitted through Judaism, Christianity, and Islam into the modern world. Spar is also the author of "The Mesopotamian Legacy: Origins of the Genesis Tradition," a chapter in the exhibit catalog that examines, through ancient myths and art, themes of creation, the Flood, Garden of Eden, and the Tower of Babel. In the show, Spar also had responsibility for a display exhibiting cuneiform tablets illustrating through text and myth the decline and destruction of the civilization of the First Cities. Spar was part of a team of scholars who helped design the exhibit and arrange for the loan of objects from museums and institutions throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Ramapo Chosen for Sino/American Leadership Program The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) has accepted Ramapo College as one of only twelve colleges/universities in the country to be a part of its Sino-American Leadership Program where faculty and administrators from Chinese universities will visit our campus and faculty from Ramapo will visit Chinese universities.
The Second Annual Conference on the State of the African-American Professoriate was held April 16 to 20. Dr. Mary Frances Berry, an author, educator, and historian who teaches history and law at the University of Pennsylvania, was the keynote speaker.
Ramapo Hosts COPLAC Conference Ramapo College served as host for the annual conference of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC). With Global Education and Civic Engagement as the theme, conference attendees participated in topic discussions including "General Education as a Site for Global Education and Civic Preparation," among others.
In Memoriam In the last year, the College suffered many losses of longtime friends, faculty members, and staff. Alum Receives Second Emmy Award
Students Win National 'Influencing State Policy' Award
Ramapo alum Shane Farley '94 was awarded a Daytime Emmy for his work in producing "The Wayne Brady Show." And, this is not his first Emmy. He also won last year as part of the production team for "The Rosie O'Donnell Show." In his role as supervising producer on the Brady Show, Farley helps decide which guests to book and generates ideas for the show.
A distinguished national panel of social policy educators has awarded the 2003 Influencing State Policy Award in the undergraduate (bachelor of social work) category to students in Contemporary Social Policy, a class taught by Scottie Massimo, assistant professor of social work. Their project was a collaborative one in support of New Jersey's Fairness Alliance Tax Proposal, which was designed to alleviate the state's budget crisis. The award is sponsored by the National Influencing State Policy Organization (ISP) and co-sponsored by the National Association of Deans and Directors of Social Work, the Center for Social Development (Washington University, St. Louis), and the Association of Baccalaureate Program Directors (BPD), among others. Those students contributing to the winning project include: Tanya Aschenbrand Valerie Blouin Cate Doyle Tiffany Flynn Irena Jovanova Heather Kastberg Jessica Monaco Parween Quraishi Lori Spano Luciana Suriano Catrice Williams
Students Respond to State Budget Issues Following Governor McGreevey's announcement of cuts of up to fifteen percent in state appropriations for higher education, Ramapo's Student Government Association (SGA) joined other New Jersey colleges and universities in advocating a restoration of funding. The SGA supported a rally at the Statehouse in Trenton, sponsored an on-campus rally featuring a roster of speakers who addressed the ramifications of the budget cuts, and promoted a letter-writing campaign and voter registration.
On Christmas Day, Oakland businessman Russ Berrie, chairman and CEO of the Russ Berrie Company, passed away after suffering a heart attack. Berrie and his wife, Angelica, provided the lead gift toward construction of Ramapo's performing and visual arts center, which is named in their honor. He was a frequent guest lecturer in classes in the School of Administration and Business. In addition, he served on the President's Advisory Council at Ramapo. About eight years ago, Berrie approached Ramapo's former president, Dr. Robert A. Scott, to explore ways to recognize individuals who have made a difference in their own communities and, at the same time, hold them up as examples and inspiration to others. The award would recognize "uncommon acts for the common good." This concept grew into The Russ Berrie Award for Making a Difference. Awards are presented each May.
Writer and folk art collector/advocate Selden Rodman, who donated more than 200 works from his collection to Ramapo College, died November 2 at the age of 93. In 2001, the College opened a new gallery to house the collection, the Selden Rodman Gallery of Popular Arts. Rodman was the author of more than forty books, including works of original poetry, a poetry anthology, travel writings, and publications on the art of Haiti, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. A new amendment to the Rodman contract with the College, negotiated shortly before his death, allows for other renowned collectors to donate works to the collection. Future Ramapo plans include an international Haitian Art Conference and an exhibition of works from the Yale University Art Gallery Rodman Collection.

help me with my career. In fact, I've received three job offers, and I'm in the process of deciding which one I want; all are in my major." Brian Hopkins, a senior who has lived on campus since entering Ramapo, chose the College because of its residences. "The housing is wonderful, and I've made great friends living here," states Hopkins. "The College provides good opportunities to get involved in campus life. Students have power and a voice. The new buildings will improve the residential life." The Village townhouses, arguably the most sought-after residences on campus, opened in fall 2002. There are 132 smoke-free units, and each one accommodates four persons. Every resident has his/her own bedroom wired with voice, video, and data lines. With floor-to-ceiling glass walls in the dining area, extensive kitchen facilities, a large bathroom, and plenty of storage space, these units are extremely desirable. The complex also encompasses a common area complete with a grocery store, laundry facilities, a lounge with a gas fireplace and large TV screen, public restrooms, and mail center. Named for Fred and Florence Thomases, the Thomases Commons provides a central meeting place for residents to get to know each other, while attending to their daily necessities. Kim Velocci, a freshman member of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, was particularly impressed with The
the hall will offer four-person suites, complete with two bathrooms and a common room. All suites will be fully wired with voice, video, and data lines. Students will benefit from the privacy of the location and the sense of community fostered by suite living. There will be a large lounge on the first floor, including a communal kitchen for those who may want to host a gathering, as well as mail and laundry facilities. In addition, a faculty-in-residence apartment for visiting scholars will occupy space on the first floor. Its proximity to the main academic buildings will make it an easy walk to classes and other activities. To minimize the environmental impact of the new building, the design incorporated a small "footprint," with a vertical structure, rather than a horizontal one. Additionally, positive steps are being taken to offset the loss of trees, by planting 600 replacements. The pond area also will be refurbished. Moreover, planning is underway for the Phase IX residence hall, which will offer another 300 beds. The healthy-lifestyles focus on the campus can also be seen in the recent renovation of the Birch Tree Inn, one of the main eateries on campus. The new Marketplace at the Birch Tree Inn offers the latest trend in dining on college campuses. Customers select fresh ingredients for their order and watch while it's cooked. Offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a variety of late-night menus, it is open daily until after midnight. Consistent with Ramapo's global mission, cuisine from every continent is available, depending upon the theme of the day
The College athletic programs are becoming increasingly attractive to prospective students, and this facility will certainly help to bolster Ramapo's appeal. Many of the athletic teams have had very impressive records over the past few years, including men's basketball, volleyball, soccer, and baseball, as well as women's softball. According to Rachel McCann, director of sports information, "The Bradley Center is a huge recruiting tool for new athletes. It will be the newest building in the NJAC (New Jersey Athletic Conference)." From the student athlete's perspective, the Center will be highly motivating. Kelly Kernan has played women's

The extensive menu also includes low-fat and vegetarian dishes, as well as burgers, pizza, pasta, and delectable desserts. Punctuated with a variety of kiosks, it's a cross between a mall food court and a café in Manhattan. The décor is colorful, funky, and fun: cobalt blue-and-yellow pinpoint lighting fixtures descend from a deep purple open ceiling.

create a dramatic gateway to the campus. In response to the demand for additional athletic and recreational space, the facility will be a hub of competitive sporting events, exercise, and interaction. The facility includes a 16,000 square-foot NCAA-regulation arena for 1,600 spectators, with a skybox, climbing wall, fitness center, student recreation area, and athletic training center. In addition, the existing athletic building will be refurbished and an indoor jogging track will be added. A glassenclosed walkway will connect the new construction to the existing building. Complete with a state-of-the-art sound system, the Bradley Center will be wired for cable TV, enabling students to watch the arena sporting events from anywhere on campus. Kelly Kernan All of the College teams will benefit from the supplemental space. Currently, athletic space is so limited that practices are scheduled up until midnight on a weekly basis. The space also will help build the intramural programs. Kerri Giovanelli, a sophomore living in Maple Hall, is particularly excited about the building. "A group of us tried to get a dance company off the ground but couldn't pull it together due to lack of space for meetings and dance practice. We tried to hold our meetings in the residence hall lounges but that didn't work well. With the new Center, we'll have the opportunity to do it."
basketball for the College and is also on the softball team. "The Bradley Center will raise the level of competitiveness, and players will step-up their games," says Kernan. "It'll make everyone want to work harder and strive for excellence. The newness of the facility will add to the excitement of playing. It'll be great to call it our home court." Indeed, Ramapo is moving forward at an impressive rate. These campus additions enable the College to offer a well-rounded, state-of-theart learning environment. According to Pamela Bischoff, vice president for student affairs, "Our new residence halls and the Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center will permit us to promote learning both inside and outside of the classroom, and to create a center for socialization where members of the community can come together informally to enhance their health and well-being." The campus expansion is a testament to the strong demand from students for residential resources and the College's commitment to respond with state-of-the-art facilities. The challenge ahead is to continue to expand the support services necessary to serve a thriving residential community. At the same time, Ramapo College will work to maintain its open and supportive environment, where every student's voice matters.

Center for Technology Enhanced Education
Ramapo's graduate program in educational technology (MSET) and professional development programs for K-12 teachers (funded by the National Science Foundation) are at the forefront of delivering science content to teachers and ultimately to their students through the production of technology-enhanced curriculum materials using the World Wide Web. This partnership between Ramapo and the school districts is the basis for the Center for Technology Enhanced Education, which began operation in February. The Center will provide many opportunities for collaboration and on-site programs in the districts. For example, following a request from the Paramus School District, Ramapo began offering MSET courses for district teachers at Paramus High School during the spring 2003 semester.
"Educational technology can dramatically transform the role of the teacher in terms of instructional engineering and liberate teachers and students from the 'one size fits all' model of education" Dr. Angela Cristini, professor of biology, director of MSET and director of graduate programs.
the College, to be known as The Ramapo Roundtable: Business and Financial Outlook. In this forum, board members as well as other analysts will discuss the coming year's prospects for business and the financial markets. Symposia planned for the spring 2004 semester include "Bioethics and Business" and two separate programs commemorating 90th anniversaries; one on the Federal Reserve and the other on the 16th Amendment, which instituted the income tax. The Teacher Center is a resource center for preservice and certified teachers and for Ramapo faculty. Resources provided include technology tutoring; advisement; academic resources such as print media, videos, DVDs, and governmental documents; Resources school-community outreach; and profesprovided include: sional development technology tutorworkshops.

In addition, students are encouraged to pursue positions in multicultural urban districts through the Center's relationships with the Newark, Paterson, and Jersey City school systems. Providing elementary school teachers with strong preparation in mathematics and the natural sciences is another segment of the Center's mission. In addition, the Center participates in archaeoastronomical research through the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico, the umbrella agency that initiates all research activity at sites of the pre-Colombian Maya.

The New Center for Business and Public Policy
"Educational technology can dramatically transform the role of the teacher in terms of instructional engineering," says Dr. Cristini. She continues, "Advances in technology can accommodate diverse learning styles and performance levels, liberate teachers and students from the 'one size fits all' model of education, enable students from dissimilar backgrounds to experience a common sense of accomplishment, provide bridges from school to career, and foster life-long learning." Administrators and representatives of the participating school districts have formed an advisory board that will become a permanent partnership and network of school and college educators. The Center for Business and Public Policy is providing a nonpartisan forum for the examination of issues that affect the economic well-being and quality of life of New Jersey's citizens. The Center's focus is on taxation, health care, education, and busiA nonpartisan ness regulation.

The Center hosts colloquia, workshops, conferences and other programs, and publishes journals and papers. These offer a wide range of thought and varying perspectives on topics that influence economic and social well-being both in the state and the nation. Center Fellows and invited experts will participate in the programs and publications of the Center. Two symposia were planned for the fall 2003 semester. The first, "Litigation and the Economy," was held on September 25 and was moderated by board member Andrew Napolitano.

Ramapo Dedicates the Thomases Commons The Thomases Commons, located in The Village, a 528-bed, townhouse-style apartment complex, was recently dedicated in honor of Florence Thomases of Englewood and the late Fred Thomases. The Thomases Commons houses an office/conference room, a lounge with fireplace, mail room, laundry facilities, and a convenience store. Florence Thomases, a member of the first Ramapo
College Board of Trustees, provided leadership, guidance, and continued support of the College beginning with its inception in 1969. The generous contributions of Florence and Fred Thomases have supported countless students and faculty through endowed scholarships and grants for research and teaching excellence.
Major support was provided by an event sponsorship gift from the Inserra Family Foundation. During the awards presentation, Commerce Bancorp Chairman and President, Vernon Hill II announced an additional gift from Commerce Bank to establish an endowed student scholarship at Ramapo College.

Student scholar representative, Elsie Byers '03, said, "Thank you so very much for believing in my ability, for giving me an opportunity that I would otherwise not have had. You have given me the world, and in return I will show that your generosity was not wasted, by succeeding in life…"

The PAC grows to 200 members – 2003 Parents Fund Soars An active, concerned group at Ramapo College, the Parents Advisory Council (PAC) has continued to achieve milestones in growth, giving, and activities. The 200member strong council conducted panels on the registration process, study abroad, and available scholarships. The PAC also makes fun and camaraderie a priority for members, enjoying Freshmen Family Day, the fall art auction, and the spring social to see the student production of The Fantasticks. Parent support of scholarships and programs and their enthusiasm for Ramapo College is a fundraising success story. Started just two years ago, the Parents Fund grew from founding PAC members' initial donations to $9,000 in 2002, and nearly double that in 2003. Ramapo parents generously donate to the Parents Fund so all students can receive a quality education.

More than thirty years after its inception as a public liberal arts college, those who graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey are linking with students to share their experiences and expertise with those who are still forging their paths to the future. These joint ventures are sponsored by Ramapo's Alumni Association, College administrative departments, and student organizations. They encourage mentoring, job opportunities, internships, and life-long connections to Ramapo. At the spring CONNECT, alumni helped students discover career opportunities, shared their work experiences, and handed out business cards. The Alumni Lounges were transformed into a virtual job fair– each school of study was represented by a faculty member and alumni holding degrees in those areas. The event was co-sponsored by the Alumni Association and the Cahill Center for Experiential Learning and Career Services. "CONNECT enhances the work of The Cahill Center by providing a forum in which students can network with alumni to further their career exploration and development," said Barbara Siembieda, coordinator of Senior Transitions/Career Advisor with the Center. Alumni also conducted mock interviews and gave students feedback, tips, and tactics. "The event allowed students to practice their social and pre-professional etiquette in a safe and facilitating environment," she added. CONNECT is one function of the Alumni Career Network, which has matched students with alumni for internships, co-ops, and mentoring relationships. "Alumni are valued professionals who generously give their time and talent to foster the pre-professional growth of students."

Delta Mu Delta/Delta Nu, the national honor society for business administration, worked with the Alumni Office and the Cahill Center to conduct a survey of 800 alumni. They were invited to visit www.ramapo.edu/academics/deltamudelta/, a gateway to ongoing participation in Delta Mu/Nu, to attend CONNECT events, and to register with the College Central Alumni Network (www.alumnicentral.com) to contact other Delta Mu/Nu members. The EOF/Cahill Center Mentoring Program provides qualified junior and senior EOF students the opportunity to develop professional and individualized relationships with alumni. The Alumni Association is assisting in identifying mentors. "Our goal is to encourage students' personal and professional development through relationships and exposure to the real world of work," said Dee Bright Foreman, student development specialist with EOF. The program provides the tools to make the transition from college to career a successful and rewarding experience. The sisters of Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Inc., with the Alumni Association and The Cahill Center, presented "There IS Life After Ramapo!" Panelists included Elizabeth Caraballo '01, Ives Galarcep '97, Ronny Jackson '01 and Tancy Nunez '02. "We don't always see the outcome of what

happens to graduates," noted Raquel Wilson, president of the sorority's Ramapo chapter and its publications/communications chair. "We wanted to know what they are doing with their major. We want to find alumni working in their field, and enjoying that work." Among the questions pondered: What role did your major play in your career choice? How early did you begin looking for a job? What was the hardest thing about applying for a job or graduate school? This helped give students the motivation to continue with their education and provide a networking opportunity for junior and seniors. The third annual Media Collision Festival in May featured alumni in the media field who took part in this exciting communication arts showcase. The Festival provided a night for networking among alumni and students in the communications field and displayed a showcase of students' works in video, writing, graphic design, multimedia design, public communications, audio, and television. The Recruitment Outreach Committee held a gospel concert featuring the AME Zion Church Gospel Choir and a dinner reception for alumni who want to assist with College recruitment efforts. Ramapo admissions counselor Mandy Restivo '99 said the purpose of the committee is to get alumni involved in attracting students, particularly students of color, to the campus. Those who volunteer accompany Restivo and two other admissions counselors to high schools throughout the state. "We try to link alumni with the high school from which they graduated. They talk about where they are now and how they got there." She said alumni have a much greater impact on potential Ramapo students than those currently attending the College. "They're impressed with the range of fields graduates enter. It shows that Ramapo alumni are still committed to the College and that they enjoyed their experience." The committee also seeks alumni who work with teen youth or church groups. For more information, call 201.684.7308 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Two alumni, Mohammad Shad '96 and Lookman Fazal '96 participated in a panel discussion with current students who are Muslim as part of a two-day Teach-In last fall. The event increased understanding of the tenets of the Muslim religion, the social issues faced by Muslims here and abroad, the role of men and women in Islam, and life for Muslims post 9/11. The alumni and the students spoke about their experiences on campus. Susie Rachouh, director of international/intercultural education, said the alumni, who attended Ramapo in the mid-'90s, remembered food as being an issue. The dining halls didn't accommodate the Halal dietary rules Muslims adhere to. "It was poignant to hear alumni talk about what happened to them as Muslims at the workplace after September 11. The emotions were still strong a year after. I think they, too, were surprised at the
intensity of them." Men and women basketball players participated in an alumni game in February. Sponsored by the 2003 Basketball Reunion Committee, Don Griego '80 and Bill Capuano '70 served as team captains. Committee members also include Tim Lorencovitz '94, Ivan McDuffie '93, and Jill Morris '79. Following the game, the Roadrunners men and women varsity squads faced Stockton State College and the alumni and their family members enjoyed the games. Students not only get involved with alumni at events— they connect through giving back to Ramapo. Continuing a legacy established in 2001, the 2003 Senior Gift Drive encouraged students to donate $20.03, symbolizing their graduation year. Funds will be used to provide scholarships, award grants, and fund vital College projects. Students are also fundraising through the annual phonathon reaching out to alumni and parents to share great news about programs, SAT scores, and new projects at Ramapo. The generosity of donors resulted in more than $50,000 in pledges.
Faculty and Students Give Back to Alumni Through Song The Ramapo College Alma Mater composed by David Welsh, professor emeritus, in the 1980's, has been given a new, beautiful arrangement first sung by the Ramapo Chorale at the naming ceremony of the Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center. Says Dr. Barbara Gordon, adjunct professor of music and director of the Ramapo Chorale, Voices and the Street Singers: "I first became familiar with Ramapo's Alma Mater when I accompanied a student performing it at Ramapo's first Parents' Day. When listening to it, I realized that the song would have considerably more strength and beauty if put into a four-part setting; that is, soprano, alto, tenor, bass. In creating the arrangement, I focused on the lyrics and the contour of the melody." A perfect example exists in the section of the song: "In the time we've spent together we have come to learn to have dignity, a mind that's free, and celebrate humanity." By giving harmonic emphasis and adding melodic repetition to these particular lyrics, the song affirms the underlying principles that are valued at the College, and ones we encourage our students to follow in life. The new arrangement was well received by students, staff, faculty, and alumni—the perfect gift of song to the Ramapo community.

Why Do I Run? Why Do I Play?
Ronna Killins '04 Track + Field/ Cross Country "Why do I run?" I have been asked that question many times. People look at me like I'm crazy when they see me running in extreme weather conditions like rain, snow, or in the unbearable heat. But it all seems worth it when it comes time for me to run in a meet. Track is different than any other sport out there. It's unique. Yes, we work as a team. But in your individual event, it's just you and your competitors running against time, and fighting for that place medal. It solely depends on you to score points for your team. That's why I call it both a team and an individual sport. Nothing beats the feeling of being out there on the track running to the deafening cheers and screams from your teammates and onlookers. Training for track is hard; it's not a sport for the weak of heart. But when I come across the finish line with my personal best time, knowing that I left all I had on the track, it is all worth it. Ronna Killins is a senior communications major with a 3.4 GPA. She was the 2002 Ramapo College Player of the Year, All-American, XC 2nd Team All-Conference, Indoor Track & Field 1st Team All-Conference, and Outdoor Track & Field 1st Team All-Conference.

Pedro Hernandez '03 Volleyball Competition is the greatest aspect of athletics. Every time we step onto a field or court, we become warriors determined to do anything within the rules to be victorious. Not understanding this concept is to be oblivious to what competition is all about, and furthermore, to what being an athlete epitomizes. The effort, hard work, and dedication put into our sport on a daily basis are for the love and the passion we have for competition. In my case, the game of volleyball has taught me various lessons I will be able to utilize for the rest of my life. In volleyball, as with many other sports, there is a need for communication, teamwork, and trust. These skills are taught through volleyball and are required of an individual in the real world; whether with your boss, friends, or family. Volleyball not only teaches an individual how to strive for success, but more so, how to do it as a team. I play volleyball for all of these reasons. I play for the dedication it requires, for the teamwork it teaches, for the hard work it demands, but mostly for the opportunity to compete and ultimately win.

Seeing that neon yellow ball come off her hip, I know I have the pitch I want, the one I see in my dreams, the one I am going to drive over the left-center field wall. The feeling comes from my toes, the swing is in motion and it is perfect. The bat connects with the ball at the sweet spot and just as fast as it comes in, the yellow laser goes right back out again. The feeling is indescribable. This moment is why I play. I play softball because I love the game. God blessed me with a talent that I work hard every day to improve upon. As a student of the game, I love the challenges and rewards each game presents. Every at bat, every defensive out, represents a chance for success or disappointment. Each game is like starting over, setting new goals, and reaching new heights. For eleven years, I have had this wonderful experience. I have played on travel teams, high school, and college teams. All of these teams have given me the chance to make many friends … and a few enemies. This is why I play. Kelly Kernan is a senior psychology major with a 3.4 GPA. She is the SAAC president (Student Athletic Advisory Committee), was awarded the Ramapo College Scholar Athlete of the Year, ECAC All-Star 1st Team, NJAC 1st Team All-Conference, All-American 3rd Team East Region, and NCAA Regionals All-Tournament Team.
Athletics Update During this past year, eleven of the sixteen varsity athletic programs participated in postseason play. For the last four consecutive years, the Roadrunner's athletics program also has accomplished a win/loss record above .500: in 1999-2000, +24; 2000-2001, +24; 2001-2002, +37, and 2002-2003 +69. This year they were also +12 in the NJAC for the first time in eight years with the men's basketball team and the women's softball team earning regular season champion honors posting 17-1 and 18-0 records respectively. Our men's basketball and women's softball teams saw much success this past year. Men's basketball climbed all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight while the softball team hosted a NCAA Tournament of their own falling short in regional play. Our Ramapo student-athletes have experienced the same success in the classroom by improving their overall graduation rate from 40 percent to 58 percent. CONGRATS to all the athletes on a job well done!

be very different. Without the skills that sports teach you, there would be emptiness in the hearts of athletes. I truly believe that without the skills and determination volleyball has instilled in me, I would not be the same individual I am today, or the dedicated hard worker I have become. The game of volleyball has done a lot for me, and as a result, I will respect it for the rest of my life. Pedro Hernandez graduated in May with a bachelor of arts in history. He will be attending Penn State Law School in September. While at Ramapo, Pedro was volleyball team captain from 2000-2003, a member of the Chi Alpha Epsilon Honor Society, History Club vice president from 2001-2003, a volunteer at the Center for Food Action, and a history tutor with Public School #1. During his four years at Ramapo, he received the following awards and honors: Rookie of the Year (2000); ODK New Student Leader Achievement (spring '00); ODK Second Year Student Leader Achievement (spring '01); EOF Academic Achievement Award (1999-2003); EOF Second Year Scholarship Award (2000 school year); Athletic/Academic All American Award (spring 02); All American Academic Award (fall '01); Dean's List (spring '00 and spring '02); Who's Who Among American Students (spring '02); Arthur Ash Minority Academic Award (2002).
Spotlight on Chemistry By Ron Kase
Dr. Robert Mentore, Ramapo College's chemistry convener, is pleased with the progress made by chemistry majors during the last few years. "Our students have been accepted to graduate study at prestigious universities and professional schools, and we have several undergraduates each year involved in biomaterial research, which I direct," explains Mentore. Graduates of Ramapo's chemistry program are presently enrolled in Ph.D. or M.D. programs at Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, UMDNJ, and the University of Connecticut. Chemistry Professor Dr. Arthur Felix directs undergraduates in research that may some day alter the way diabetes is treated. Dr. Mentore's work in bio-material science has applications in the fast growing medical implant field. Work of this caliber, unheard of at one time in an undergraduate institution, is now done regularly in Ramapo's School of Theoretical and Applied Science. Small grants from the Ramapo College Foundation and support from Dean Eric Karlin have funded presentations of work involving student researchers at national science symposia. Last year Ramapo

"Our long range goal is to involve all chemistry majors in research so that they know the possibilities," he says, while showing a group of high school students around a lab crowded with scientific equipment. Area corporations have contributed a great deal of equipment to the College's chemistry program. Many companies employ Ramapo graduates, and help by supplying Gas Chromato Graphs and UV/Visible Spectro Photo Meteors as well as other high tech products. The greater Mahwah area is home to leading technical and scientific companies, and the corporations that have recently contributed equipment include SheeringPlough, International Paper, Novartis, Berlex, and Reckitt Benckiser. The chemistry program is growing in numbers of majors and in reputation. The program complements biochemistry and bioinformatics, both new majors, and it provides students with opportunities to learn science and participate in research with guidance from accomplished chemists.

There is a study out by a sociologist and academic by the name of Dr. Arthur Shostak. In this study he looks at the effect of abortion on men. A topic you hear very little about. Men are the forgotten victims of abortion. They are often characatured as ogres who force women into having abortions. While there are certainly many men who have convinced, driven and paid for their girlfriend or wife's abortion, there are also a great many who have had no say in the process. This from the wires concerning the study;
"Shostak surveyed 1,000 men sitting in the waiting rooms of abortion facilities across the U.S. and found that 80 percent of those men indicated that that had been the longest and darkest day of their life.
Dr. Miriam Grossman, a psychiatrist at UCLA's student health service, says Shostak then followed those men for months, and even some for years.
"The numbers went up [over that time]," she observes. "The number of men who reported that day feeling some guilt and some ambivalence about what they were doing; the number of men who were asked 'Do you think that in the future you might have some troubling thoughts about this?' -- the percentages went up." Adds Grossman: "So a few years afterwards, they were reporting that it was worse than they had anticipated."
The victims of abortion are many. Men for too long have been the forgotten group of victims. Regardless of what Planned Parenthood would say, there is trauma enough for all when there is an abortion. We should not be surprised that the taking of innocent life in the womb would wreak havoc on all involved. You cannot simply kill babies and believe that the bill for that heinous act will not come due. The more we understand the effect of this for all parties the better equipped we will be to work towards the day when abortion is unthinkable!
blog you later,
pastor tom
