Seton Hall Magazine, Winter 2003 - Seton Hall University

Family is an important part of the Many Are One celebration. Aaron
Campbell ’68 (center), recipient of the African-American Alumni
Council Service Award, shares a quiet moment during the festivities
with his son, Kyle, and his wife, Joyce.
Longtime sports enthusiast and dedicated Pirate Blue Athletic Fund
supporter Joseph F. Zubko ’49/M.A. ’56 was honored with the Pirate
Blue Service Award for his achievements — both on the field and in
the classroom. A former Seton Hall varsity soccer player and educator,
Zubko also is recognized as a pioneer in the development of
reading and remedial instruction. As an assistant professor of
education at Seton Hall from 1960-68, he introduced the
University’s first study skills programs for freshmen. He retired
in 1993 from Essex County College. He and his wife, Jerilyn
(left), are seen frequently at Pirate events. Among the
couple’s favorites are the soccer alumni/varsity matches
that Zubko has been organizing since the mid-1960s.
This year, the Alumni Association and its
constituent groups honored individuals by
presenting special service awards. School of Law
alumnus John J. Sheehy, J.D. ’54 (second from
right) is congratulated by (from left) Joseph G.
Sandman, Ph.D., vice president for University
Affairs; Monsignor Sheeran; and Patrick E. Hobbs,
dean of the School of Law. Honorees not pictured
included Christine M. Katulka ’93/M.A. ’98, Young
Alumni; John Meade ’40, Golden Pirates; and
Gary A. Scott ’61, Chicago Alumni Chapter.
Guests could not resist taking to the
dance floor during the gala, which took
place at the Richard and Sheila Regan
Field House. Entertainment included
slow dances by the Duprees, a longtime
New Jersey band famous for its interpretations
of love songs of the ’50s and
beyond. For those who preferred to kick
up their heels, Mission Dance provided
high-energy party songs.
