Dr. Tomas D. Morales is the Louis R. Miller Business LeadershipAward winnerSunday, January 01, 2012, 5:25 AMStaten Island AdvanceBySTATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- When you want tomake things happen, Dr. Tomas D.Morales is your man. The president of theCollege of Staten Island has in four years'time literally transformed CSI from a smallcommunity public place of learning to atop-notch institution with an increasinglystrong international reputation that simplymakes all Islanders proud.Located at 2800 Victory Blvd., inWillowbrook, the College of Staten IslandAdvance File Photo(CSI), part of the City University of NewDr. Tomas D. MoralesYork has a modern, 204-acre campus --the largest in the CUNY system -- thatoffers lush, beautiful surroundings coupled with advanced learning facilities supporting its 14,200 studentsand 2,000-employees on an $84 million dollar budget.CSI offers 43 undergraduate and 14 graduate programs leading to associate's, bachelor's and master'sdegrees. Doctorate degrees also are offered in conjunction with the Graduate Center of the City University.But as good as it sounded on its own, CSI still needed something more. That something more was Dr.Morales. Since taking over as the school's third president the changes he has implemented are nothing shortof amazing. So for his intelligence, his dedication to education and his unquenchable fire to make CSI one ofthe best small college's anywhere, Dr. Morales has been selected as the latest Louis R. Miller BusinessLeadership Award recipient in the Not-for-Profit Category.Since taking the helm in 2007, undergraduate enrollment has increased by 13 percent; graduate enrollmentby 15 percent, the number of freshmen meeting baccalaureate requirements has increased by 57 percent,and the conferring of baccalaureate degrees has increased by 22 percent -- and that's just to start.Page 22 of 161
The school gave away $240,000 in scholarship money this year. Donations are up by 75 percent. The schoolis also home to a supercomputer designed to benefit students and faculty and is currently the most powerfulone in the CUNY system.CSI is also now attracting professors from top-notch institutions and graduates have advanced to prestigiousmedical schools, graduate and doctoral programs as well as to premier law schools.And the listachievements goes on and on."I am passionate about what I do here as the president," said Dr. Morales, also CSI's first Hispanicpresident.When asked how all this happened so quickly, he is too modest to put his name across the banner."It's we, that's the operative word here, it's not me. It's we. It's the college, the community, it's the faculty,it's the staff and it's the students who really move the institution forward," he saidFor his part, Dr. Morales likes to say his job as CSI president is "to go out and tell the CSI story to anyonewho cares to listen."While there are still some obvious challenges, Dr. Morales is a man whose ambitions and accomplishmentsto improve CSI seem endless. To that end, there's a $257 million, 10-year master plan to enhance theschool.There's also the recent release of CSI's comprehensive "Many Voices, One Vision" Strategic Plan 2011-2016.Dr. Morales' 36-year career in education is extensive. He is one of the few higher education administrators inthe country to have held senior administrative positions at the three largest public university systems in thenation: CUNY, The State University of New York (SUNY), and the California State University system.During his time at California State Polytechnic University, he served in various capacities, including VicePresident for Student Affairs, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Professor of Education andprincipal deputy to the president.At CUNY, he served as Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students with The City College. His timein the SUNY system includes having served as Assistant Dean, School of Education, and Assistant VicePresident for Student Affairs, State University of New York at New Paltz.Dr. Morales said he loves seeing how CSI has made a strong impression. He said you can't enter a physicaltherapist or doctors' office, a school, a hospital, or other places here without running into a CSI graduate."That's the impact," he said.
