A Message from the President
As I sat in the stands September 26 at our first Homecoming game in many years, I thought about football as a metaphor for
renewal. I scanned the stands and saw thousands of people shouting in unison for the Chargers, a team that just five and
a half years ago had ceased to exist. Sporting events have the ability to unite a campus in a way that few other activities can.
Football’s rebirth at the University of New Haven required the efforts of many supporters. Director of Athletics Deborah Chin
and I worked for years to have UNH accepted into the Northeast-10 Conference. UNH alumnus and Board of Governors
member Ralph F. DellaCamera, Jr. ’75 B.S., stepped forward to fund a major renovation of our existing field. The field is named
in honor of Ralph’s father, Ralph F. DellaCamera, who graced us with his presence that Homecoming day. Head Football Coach
Pete Rossomando — a veteran who learned the craft of coaching under former UNH coach Tony Sparano ’84 B.S., now head
coach of the Miami Dolphins — left the University at Albany to lead the rebuilding of our team. With their support, and with
yours, we have made huge strides at the University of New Haven. Those changes required planning, strategy and a strong belief
in our mission, the very same attributes a football team needs to complete a pass for a touchdown in the waning moments of
a game. Our efforts remind me of a quote from the legendary coach Vince Lombardi, who said,“Winning isn’t everything,
but making the effort to win is.”
The University has reached many goals in recent years. With your help, we will continue to aspire to greatness. If you didn’t hear
me shouting “thank you!” in the stands that day, please hear me now. Thank you, most sincerely, for supporting our efforts, on
the field and beyond.
Steven H. Kaplan
President
“With your help,
we will continue to
aspire to greatness.”

Incoming Class Shatters
Records (Again)
For the second year in a row,
UNH experienced a surge in
first-year student enrollment.
This fall, the University enrolled
approximately 1,250 freshmen
— a 14 percent increase over
last year’s record-breaking class.
Associate Vice President for
Enrollment Management Kevin
Phillips notes that the continued
increase is due to a number of
factors. New and expanded
academic programs, a vast array
of study-abroad options and
internship opportunities, new
state-of-the-art facilities and the
return of Charger Football are
just a few examples of the
tremendous progress taking place
on campus. New undergraduate
degree programs added this
fall include Theatre Arts, Digital
Art and Design, and Museum
Studies. As a result of these
advances, the University’s
reputation for excellence and
innovation is increasingly being
recognized throughout the
state, the nation and around
the globe.
Phillips also attributes the
increase to a substantial focus
on recruitment using social
media such as Facebook, Twitter,
2 Winter 2009
YouTube and a new online
360-degree virtual campus tour.
The result, he says, is a nearly
100 percent boost in campus
visits. “With both campus and
online visits, students and
parents appreciate the solid
connections they make with
faculty members and staff,” he
said. “And once they are here
and get a view of the facilities,
they see for themselves that
UNH is a really ‘hot’ school.”
University Dedicates
First ‘Green’ Building
The University officially
dedicated its first ‘green’
building September 25, the new
402-bed Soundview Residence
Hall. The $43 million, five-story
building offers spectacular
views of the Long Island Sound
and the City of New Haven.
Soundview is expected to
receive a gold certification for
Leadership in Energy Efficient
Design (LEED), the nationally
acknowledged benchmark
for green building practices.
The certification reflects the
University’s commitment to
sustainable architectural
practices. Soundview artfully
combines modern amenities
News
@ UNH
with environmental awareness.
Energy-efficient lighting,
recycling rooms and a first
floor exclusively devoted to
sustainable living mark it as
one of UNH’s most ambitious
capital initiatives to date.
The 2009-2010 freshman class
The facility was completed
as the University continues
to experience record-breaking
enrollment, with the largest
freshman class in history
arriving in late August.
More than 5,200 students
now attend UNH.

Breaking New Ground in Forensic Science
Institute Event a Tribute to Dr. Henry C. Lee
Once the speeches were done and the accolades delivered, the world’s foremost forensic scientist
hoisted a shovel September 25 inside a tent on the UNH campus amid thunderous applause.
Then Dr. Henry C. Lee, flanked by state dignitaries and University officials, dug into a pile of dirt to
symbolically break ground for the new Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science building. “The Henry C.
Lee Institute has come a long way from when it started in 1975 to today,” said Dr. Lee, a longtime
UNH professor whose scientific acumen and creative
genius provided the impetus for the Institute. “Back
then, we had only a few students and a laboratory.”
The Institute building is a structure that, as Board of
Governors’ chair Samuel S. Bergami, Jr. ’85 E.M.B.A.,
said at the event, “will definitively establish the
Institute and the University of New Haven as
worldwide leaders in forensic science training
and education.” Located between Maxcy and
Bartels halls, the Institute will house an interactive
public-learning center, visual displays of historic
cases, classrooms and laboratories. Also included
will be a forensic crisis management command
center featuring cutting-edge technology
available for use by police agencies throughout
Connecticut and the nation. The building is
scheduled for completion in late 2010.
President Steven H. Kaplan was among several speakers who praised
Dr. Lee’s accomplishments to an audience of several hundred attending
the groundbreaking. “I cannot think of another individual who has
meant so much and contributed so significantly as Dr. Lee to this
University’s success,” he said.

held question-and-answer
sessions with a Marketing class
and a Financial Accounting
class, lunched with student
leaders, and spent time with
faculty and deans. His advice to
all: “Be fearless.” As the chief
marketing officer for MasterCard
Worldwide, Flanagan was
responsible for selecting the
“Priceless” campaign from 35
options that were offered to the
corporation when it was trying
to revive itself in the 1990s.
Flanagan saw the long-term
potential for “Priceless.” He
pushed hard for it, even though
another ad — sharper, cooler,
wittier — had gained a strong
footing. MasterCard listened
to Flanagan, the brand was
revived, and Flanagan was
hailed a hero.
His secret: “I was just willing to
say, ‘I think this is the best thing
to do,’” he said. “I’d rather do the
right thing than the safe thing.”

Obama shook his hand, smiled
and gave him a wink. “That,
to me, was the best cure of all,”
Hilaire said. “To think that
millions of people in the United
States will never have the chance
to meet President Obama —
but I did — is wonderful. I will
carry that moment with me for
the rest of my life.”
SURF Students Present Research
Students who had engaged in summer research exhibited impressive
findings September 25 in the lobby of Bartels Hall, the campus
center. As part of UNH’s Summer Undergraduate Research
Fellowship program, students extracted fuel from algae, discovered
the effects of compounds on Lyme Disease, and explored the
relationship between economics and human trafficking, among
several subjects.

13-Year-Old Is Youngest
Student in UNH History
Though Maeda Hanafi ’13 B.S.,
Computer Science, enjoys
many of the same pastimes
as her 13-year-old friends —
from rollerblading to computer
games — every morning as
her friends head off to middle
school, Maeda heads to classes
at the University of New Haven.
The youngest student ever
admitted to UNH, Maeda
credits her parents, Imam and
Anna, for much of her success.
Three years after arriving in the
United States from Jakarta,
Indonesia, Imam graduated
from UNH in 1995 with a
degree in Computer Science.
Anna, a trained economist, has
been home-schooling Maeda
and her three siblings, ages 5
to 11, since 2004.
Imam now operates Algosmith
Computing, a local business
that builds financial-system
software for Wall Street
companies. Maeda shares her
father’s love and aptitude for
computerization. “We are
delighted to have Maeda
here,” said Melissa Laskowski,
associate director of
Undergraduate Admissions.
“She’s very bright and very
mature. I think she’ll bring
a fresh perspective to all
her classes.”
Humble Horseshoe Crab
Belies Its Life-Saving
Properties
Anyone who has ever taken
a pill, been tested for meningitis
or had a medical device
implanted should probably
thank the humble horseshoe
crab for making it possible,
according to Carmela Cuomo,
Ph.D., associate professor
and coordinator of UNH’s
Marine Biology Program.
The 400-million-year-old
invertebrate is well known for
its presence on beaches around
the globe, but less recognized
for the bacteria-identifying
compound contained in its
bright-blue blood — limulus
amoebacyte lysate (LAL) —
which is in great demand by the
biomedical and pharmaceutical
industries.
The escalating need for LAL,
which is used to identify the
presence of bacteria and sells
for $15,000 per quart, is one
of the reasons why the Atlantic
horseshoe crab species is
particularly worth saving from
decline, Cuomo says. After 10
years of research, Cuomo has
developed the first protocols to
successfully breed the Atlantic
species in captivity, a feat that
could prove a boon to the
biomedical field and help
protect the disc-shaped
creature from
extinction.
Honors Psychology Professor Recognized

Stuart Sidle, director of UNH’s Industrial-
Organizational Psychology program, was

workplace issues such as job stress,
work satisfaction, employee surveys, change management and
leadership development. He also has served as a consultant to dozens
of organizational leaders and is frequently quoted in the local and
national media.

published on the cover of the New Journal of Chemistry in its
October edition. Chemistry Professor Pauline M. Schwartz’s work with
Dan Osipovitch ’09 Chemistry, and Mechanical/Civil & Environmental
Engineering Professor Carl Barratt was detailed in the article
“Systems Chemistry and Parrondo’s Paradox: Computational Models
of Thermal Cycling.”
State Recognizes Professor’s Efforts
Political Science Professor Jim Dull, who
directs UNH’s legislative internships program,

September 16 by Arthur Forst, the executive
director of the Connecticut General Assembly’s
Commission on Legislative Staff Internships. Forst praised Dull’s

Presidential Fellows
Provide Crucial Services
to Community
Summer break had a different
meaning for 10 UNH students
this year. Instead of soaking up
the sun at the beach, these
students spent the summer
as President’s Public Service
Fellows, bringing crucial,
hands-on services to government
and non-profit organizations
in the greater New Haven area.
Now in its 11th year, the
President’s Public Service
Fellowship Program, funded by
a gift from the Henry E. and
Nancy Horton Bartels Trust,
is a highly selective program
that allows students to give back
to the community while gaining
real-world experience.
This summer, the students
worked on a wide range of
community service projects
including coordinating summer
enrichment programs for
underprivileged children,
working with the Connecticut
Food Bank, designing curricula
for preschool children at the
Connecticut Children’s
Museum, and helping the
City of West Haven revise its
emergency operations plan.
Artists Wield Brushes To

Tracking Coastal
Ecological Changes
A group of UNH undergraduate
and graduate students worked
with Professor Roman Zajac
of the Department of Biology
and Environmental Science this
past summer to identify and
quantify changes occurring in
salt marshes and other coastal
systems, as rising sea levels and
coastal development affect salt
marsh ecosystems across the
Eastern Seaboard. These trends
can negatively affect the fishing
industry, and may have an
impact on coastal flooding.
This summer’s work revealed
some new and potentially
significant insights into how
animal and plant communities
are responding to marsh change
and the pace at which such
changes are occurring.
UNH Dental Hygiene students cared for children’s teeth in
a Romanian orphanage.
Providing Dental Care in Romania, South Dakota
Faculty and students returned to Romania this summer to provide

provide care. Said Jessica Porter ’09 A.S., “I am so grateful that
I was able to have the opportunity to treat the members of the
Sioux Indian Tribe and make a difference in their lives.”

DiStefano with children’s parents
New Hero of Omaha Beach
Criminal Justice student
Christopher DiStefano ’10, is
known as “the new hero of
Omaha Beach” by his fellow
classmates for his brave act of
saving two drowning children in
Normandy, France this summer.
While touring the historic beach
during the UNH College of Arts
and Sciences Summer Study
Abroad Program, DiStefano
came upon a French couple
screaming frantically and
pointing toward the ocean.
Though he didn’t understand
French, he noticed a young boy
struggling to keep his head
above water. He immediately
dove into the water and began
swimming. Once he reached the
boy, he discovered a second
child completely submerged
underwater, the young boy’s
sister. He helped both get back
to shore and safely reunited
with their grateful parents.
“I saw what was happening and
knew I couldn’t just stand there,
doing nothing,” said DiStefano,
who hopes to eventually join
a local police force. “I just
needed to do it. It was quite
an experience and it made the
trip even more meaningful.”

1909 as the location of the New Haven County Temporary Home
for Dependent and Neglected Children, praised as the “finest county
home in the state,” and was closed, as were all the state’s county
homes, in 1955. Former UNH President Marvin K. Peterson bought
the property in 1960 for use as New Haven College. For years known
simply as the Main Building, it was named in 1987 for Dr. Ellis C.
Maxcy, who headed the College during the Great Depression.
CSI Campers Learn Crime-Solving Techniques
What did you do on your summer vacation? “Dusted for fingerprints,
analyzed evidence, and cracked a cold case.” That is what a group
of high school students who recently attended the Crime Scene
Investigation (CSI) Camp at UNH can tell their friends.
The five-day CSI Camp steps into the real world of crime-scene
investigation, giving students hands-on experience with techniques
and technology seen in TV and movies. Faculty from the nationally
recognized Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic
Sciences teach at the camp, where
students learned procedures
and tools that criminologists
use to solve cases.

Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium
Hails a Victorious Homecoming

University of New Haven Alumni Magazine
14 Winter 2009
Homecoming is typically an annual event that welcomes alumni
back to campus. This year’s Homecoming at the University of
New Haven, however, was far more significant. UNH’s Homecoming
hailed the return of the Charger football program after a five-year
absence. It celebrated the dedication of the new Ralph F. DellaCamera
Stadium, featuring a visually stunning blue and gold sprint turf field,
and it reminded students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends of a storied
football past that portends an equally storied future.
alph F. DellaCamera, Jr. ’75 B.S.,
Marketing, a member of the UNH
Board of Governors, made the
transformational gift to install the new
field. He stood in front of the 3,500
fans gathered at the stadium for
the Homecoming match against
Stonehill College on September 26,
and talked about his path to success.
“It isn’t about how hard you get hit, it’s about how
hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,”
said DellaCamera, the CIO and managing
member of DellaCamera Capital Management
LLC in Manhattan. He then dedicated the field
to his father, Ralph F. DellaCamera, “for teaching
and instilling in me the belief that I should never
give up and that I should believe in myself.”
The return of Charger football did not come
easily. President Steven H. Kaplan and Director
of Athletics Deborah Chin worked for years to get
UNH’s team accepted into the highly competitive
Northeast-10 Conference. The University hired
a new head football coach and recruited an entire
squad of players from scratch.
With just a year to field a team, Coach Pete
Rossomando and his staff found talent in

numerous places. Quarterback Ryan
Osiecki ’12 B.S., Criminal Justice, a 2008
freshman walk-on at the University of Louisville
whose father, Sandy Osiecki, was a backup
quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs,
transferred to UNH in January. Wide receiver
Sharieff Hall transferred from Bethune-Cookman
University in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The stadium was originally named for Robert B.
Dodds, a now-deceased UNH Board member
and University benefactor. His widow, Isabella
Dodds, who has continued in her husband’s
tradition of supporting UNH, graciously agreed to
the stadium’s renaming. At the event, President
Kaplan thanked Mrs. Dodds, then continued,
“Football had a long and proud history at UNH.
It belonged here, and it needed to come back.”
It returned with a vengeance that day. With just
21 seconds left in the game, Osiecki completed
a pass to Hall for the winning touchdown against
Stonehill. Cheering from the sidelines was
44-year-old reserve nose guard Wayne Parks ’12
B.S., Arson Investigation, a Fairfield firefighter
with three children, two of whom are in college.
Parks’ age has brought him and the University
plenty of publicity, from The New York Times to
ESPN. He also has become a cause célèbre for
the middle-aged athlete.
“What I like,” the Times quoted Parks as saying,
“is when people say you can’t do something,
because I like to prove them wrong. The second
thing is, I really like the people who have said,
‘Wow, you’ve really inspired me.’ ”
25 Years Later,
Familiar Voices
Echo Over the Airwaves
As Charger football made its
return to the gridiron this
season, so did the longestrunning
play-by-play team
in UNH history.
Craig Mortali and Pat Ryan,
who as undergraduates
announced Charger football
games for WNHU 88.7 FM
from 1980 through 1984,
are reprising their roles for the
UNH radio station more than
two decades later.
“Our hair is thinner, our
waistlines are thicker, we’re
both married with kids, and
the equipment is more

sophisticated,” Mortali ’84 B.S., back at work for WNHU 88.7 FM
Communication. “Other than
that, very little has changed. We still love football.”
A native of North Haven, Mortali went on to become a six-time Emmy
Award-winning producer for ESPN, headquartered in Bristol, Conn. His
most recent documentary, “Triumph and Tragedy: The “Ray Mancini Story,”
which premiered on ESPN Classic in November 2007, won the 2008
CableFAX Program Award for Best Show: Sports, and also was nominated
for a Sports Emmy in the Outstanding Documentary category. Ryan also
grew up in North Haven, worked for WTNH-Channel 8 and Comcast
Cable, and is now a buyer for Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford.
“Our friendship has grown since our days as students,” Mortali said,
“so the on-air rapport is as good, if not better, than it was when we last
teamed up in 1984.”
One last thing, he says.
“It’s great to have Charger football back.”
A First Season Ends Well; On to Next Year
In their first season since 2003, the Chargers finished with a 5-5 overall
record, including a 4-4 record in the Northeast-10 Conference. The New Haven
Register quoted quarterback Ryan Osiecki ’12 B.S., Criminal Justice, as saying,
“Most people had us last in the NE-10. We went 5-5, so I think it was a good
season overall. We have a lot of things to work on, and we’re only going to
get better.”

T
he University’s campus radio
station, WNHU 88.7 FM
(www.wnhu.net), long regarded
as one of the top college stations
in the state, has embraced a
new philosophy.
Renowned for its eclectic

student programming and
a more student-friendly
environment — have been
great,” said Mia Becker ’10,

are responding really well
to it too.”

offering streaming audio, play

photos. After a national
search, WNHU also
hired a professional
general manager.
“The change is
noticeable,” said Professor
Steve Raucher, chair of
the UNH Department
of Communication, Film
and Theatre. More than
two dozen students either
passed their training and
qualifying exam or are waiting
to hear. Seven students are
training with two UNH alumni
who are broadcasting Charger
Football games (see story, page
15). Another 25 students helped
the general manager plan and
coordinate the station’s first
sponsored event, a “Beatlemania
Again” concert.
“The station sounds better,
offers three times the
broadcasting opportunities
for students and community
volunteers, provides a more
professional atmosphere
for students, offers a better
academic environment for
students, and is a much nicer
place to work,” Raucher said.

initial reservations about the
in-house approach, which leads
to a fast-paced, accelerated
M.B.A. But his experience at
Pitney Bowes has alleviated his
concerns. “I find this cohort to
be remarkable,”
Mohs said. “There

And everyone benefits. “Offering
an M.B.A. in-house is a

of UNIVR’s Institute of Forensic

gap between forensic medicine

says UNH Professor Timothy

chairman of the Forensic

United States, with territories

Mechanical Engineering Students Enter Supermileage Competition
SAE, a society that advances

a Supermileage Competition
each year. This year, 45 teams
from across the nation signed
up for the race, although just
30 actually made it to Marshall,
Michigan, with the hopes of
competing. And before even
putting a vehicle on the track,
teams needed to pass a technical
inspection. By the time the race
began, just 23 teams qualified
for competition, with UNH
among them.
“This alone, we learned, was a
tremendous accomplishment,”
said UNH Chapter President
Michael Ingmanson ’10,
Mechanical Engineering. “Most
first-year teams never complete
technical inspection, let alone
compete in the race.” Club

to its limits, completing
five laps before the
drive chain tore apart.
A quick repair and four
laps later, the chain
severed again, and the race was
over. But the team was elated:
the vehicle’s race mileage was
240 miles per gallon, 14 times
the fuel efficiency of the average
U.S. automobile.
“One of the biggest benefits to
attending the competition was

very year, we on the Alumni Association Board make an effort to
involve you in the life of the University. This year, we are hoping
you consider coming to the Alumni Scholarship Ball, whose theme is
‘Give Locally, Impact Globally.’ Monies raised from the Scholarship Ball —
including the Alumni Association Scholarship — help students pay for
college. Once they graduate, they have an impact throughout the globe,
from West Haven to Texas to Thailand. See the ad on the back cover
of this magazine; the Ball is always a beautiful event and a great time.
Consider attending this year.
I also want to mention the Golden Charger honorary degree ceremony
held in June, which is featured in this magazine. The University presented
honorary bachelor’s degrees to a number of alumni in a very moving
ceremony that, for many, was a highlight of their lives.
Education, combined with experience, is what
the University of New Haven does so well,
and UNH wanted to recognize this
accomplishment for these graduates.
It definitely had an impact on them.
Come back to campus to see the many
incredible changes here, come to the
Scholarship Ball, and become involved
again with the University. That way,
you can have an impact too.

esident Steven H. Kaplan visited with more than 50
football alumni and their guests at a pre-game tailgate
reception September 19 to celebrate UNH’s first football
home game in five years. Several alumni who attended were
members of the University’s first football team from 1973,
when the team was a part of Division III. UNH became
a Division II team in 1982.
“When I went to school at UNH, football was a big part of my
life, and the guys I played with were a big part of my extended
family,” said Dave Haubner ’86 B.S., Business Administration,
who helped gather alumni for the event. “The best way to
thank the University was to show our support, especially for
how grateful we are that football is back.”
UNH’s Miami Alumni Weekend December 4 through
December 6, which included a Miami Dolphins game and a tour
of Land Shark Stadium, also brought together football alumni,
who continued to reminisce about the September 19 reunion.
“People are still talking about it,” Haubner said. “They can’t say
enough about how great the stadium looks, how great the campus
looks. I want to thank President Kaplan, the athletic directors and
everyone else who made this possible.”

resident Steven H. Kaplan awarded honorary bachelor’s degrees to 48 UNH alumni who
graduated 50 or more years ago with associate’s degrees from the former New Haven College
at the 12th Annual Golden Charger Luncheon and Commencement Celebration in June.
In addition, 35 alumni were inducted into the Order of the Golden Chargers.
In an emotional ceremony held on the anniversary of D-Day,
marking the start of the Allied invasion of Normandy during
World War II, dozens of veterans were applauded and
recognized for their military service. All of those honored
had been able to earn their associate’s degrees, but were
unable for a variety of reasons to return to college to earn
their bachelor’s degrees. One honorary bachelor’s degree
recipient said of the ceremony, “This was one of the
nicest things to happen to me in my lifetime.”
For weeks afterward, President Kaplan received letters of thanks and reminiscence from bachelor’s
degree recipients and their family members. The son of one recipient wrote, “For someone like my
father — quiet, unassuming — this was certainly one of the highlights of his life.”

local restaurants, country clubs and
hotels. After graduating, he served as an
executive at numerous corporations, was director of Technology

the Distinguished Service Award of the Office of Administration
— and most recently was Executive-in-Residence at the Johns
Hopkins University Carey Business School, where he designed

was a favored portraitist for numerous federal judges.
His most recent venture, however, might be his biggest yet.
He is the new CEO of Green Exchange, a consortium of leading

“It’s a very large endeavor,” says Lewis, who was honored with the

of an honorary doctorate in Business Administration, and is
chairman of the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science.
“There are not a lot of individuals in the general business sector

environmental trading platform in the world.”
The global emissions market is expected to grow to about $3 trillion

A Life Of Work, Now A Time For Play
William L. Bucknall, Jr. ’65 B.S.,
Business Administration, rose to
become one of the top human
resources professionals in the
nation, retiring in 2008 as
senior vice president of United
Technologies Corp. His sense of
industry, his intelligence and his
wizardry with time management,
however, weren’t slowing down.
He had simply decided to focus
on more important matters.
With two daughters and four grandchildren, and family
vacations in Martha’s Vineyard in the summer and Barbados in
the winter, along with family ski trips to Vermont, one might
think he spends all his time with his family. Certainly, he dotes
on his daughters, and particularly on his grandchildren. “It is
thrilling to watch each child grow and develop into their own
unique personality,” he says. “It is a priceless experience because
of the joy they bring to my life, and because I am able to give
them back to their
mothers at the end
of the day.”

Then he is off on
far-flung journeys, to
the South of France,
traveling from
Menerbes, the setting
for Peter Mayle’s
best-selling book,
“A Year in Provence,”
to Arles, where
Vincent Van Gogh found the inspiration for many of his most
famed paintings. He also has escaped to England — London,
Cambridge and the Cotswolds — to Paris, Amsterdam, Rome,
and most recently, Sicily, where he toured Catania, Taormina,
Syracuse, Agrigento and Palermo.
These days, he has far more time to pursue one of his favorite
passions, reading, and regularly attends performances at the
Metropolitan Opera and on Broadway. He also remains active on
the University’s Board of Governors. Retirement, and his expansive
definition of it, has brought him a certain satisfaction. “George
Herbert, the English clergyman and poet, said ‘Living well is the
best revenge,’ ” Bucknall says. “I completely agree with him.”

Sylvia Morgan ’83 B.S., Financial

have ended up a statistic but for one thing: a college education.
“I wanted my baby to have the best, and the only jobs I could find
were domestic work,” she said recently, more than three decades
after she left home in Virginia and moved to Connecticut with
a friend. “It became clear to me that I needed more education.”
She remembered happy moments poring over numbers with
her father when she was small, and she decided to pursue math.
She obtained her GED, attended Naugatuck Valley Community
College, and was recommended for a scholarship to UNH.
After graduating, Morgan became a CPA, and for more than 25
years has been an associate financial examiner in the Securities
Division of the Connecticut Department of Banking, the state
equivalent to the federal Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Having access to education and training turned my life around,”
said Morgan, who prides herself on giving annually to UNH.

I could have done it. I sincerely believe that anyone who wants
to go back to school deserves a chance.”

Three months later, while the couple were visiting together at
Maciejak’s home in Madison, Conn., they realized they were in
love. They were married July 18 in Louisville, just a few months

Retired Pilot Making a Difference on the Ground
During a 23-year career as an American Airlines pilot, preceded
by stints as a U.S. Air Force pilot and organic farmer, Peter Smith
’70 B.S., Business Administration, prided himself on taking
meaningful vacations. He restored stone work on castles in
southern France, volunteered with a group of airline employees
who brought aid to citizens throughout the globe, and contributed
supplies and built furnishings for schoolrooms in a Himalayan
mountain village.
“I realized how much of a difference
one person can make,” Smith says.
Retiring in 2008, he joined the Peace
Corps, relocating to the Kingdom
of Tonga, where he works for the
Department of Civil Aviation,
the Tongan equivalent of the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration
(except that the FAA has almost
50,000 employees, and his
department has four).
“I realized
how much
of a difference
one person
can make.”
“The good news for retired people looking for a lifestyle change
is that the Peace Corps has recently put a lot of emphasis on older
people with life skills,” he says. Cold showers, outdoor toilets and
neighbors who wear grass mats for clothing are all part of the
experience. “The Peace Corps isn’t for everyone,” he says. “But it
certainly has something to offer anyone willing to accept the
challenge of living outside their comfort zone.” To learn more

schools, visit www.openyourhands.org.

Administration, founder and acting dean of the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism, founder and chair
of the Faculty Senate, and co-author of the University’s first Faculty Constitution. He taught Management
Science, Economics and Quantitative Analysis in an always approachable way. He also helped small business
owners with finance and strategic planning as a consultant for the Small Business Administration, and was
an avid writer, appearing frequently in Florida’s regional newspapers long after he had officially retired.
As one small example of his tenacity and perseverance, he took up running at 54, ran his first marathon
at 55, and ran the Boston Marathon in four hours, at age 64.
He leaves his wife Jean (Conlon) Smith, and two daughters, Deborah J. Chevie of Norfolk and Valerie A.Smith of Watertown.

A Letter from the Chairman of
the Advancement and Development Committee
of the UNH Board of Governors
Iwas unsure of myself as a student until I reached the University of New Haven. Something about this institution —
the guidance, the optimism, the belief that all students possess untapped levels of promise — invigorated me and
spurred me to work. It is a story I hear often, and a particular strength of the University’s. UNH gives its students
a clear, clean compass to enable them to find the way.
But to where?
32 University of New Haven
Success means different things to different people. For many, it means the ability to give to others. When speaking about
giving, former Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca once said,“I was fortunate to get a scholarship when I went to Lehigh
University and Princeton. They were both wonderful schools. Somebody was kind enough to spend their money to
educate people that they would never get to know. That’s what I think philanthropy is about.”
He’s right, of course. Giving isn’t about getting a pat on the back or even
your name in an Honor Roll of Donors. It’s about the quiet satisfaction
that comes from knowing that in giving to a student who may never
meet you in person, you could be growing the next philanthropist
who will help the next student in need. Giving to education has
a way of multiplying its blessings, and in this holiday season,
that’s a pretty good gift indeed.
Rob Lee ’78 B.S., Mechanical Engineering

J A M E S H I L A I R E ‘ 1 0 , RECIPIENT: RYAN-FOSTER SCHOLARSHIP
Major: Criminal Justice
Involvement: Goalie, UNH Soccer; founder, Big Time Recovery
Organization, non-profit providing temporary physical and emotional
support through funding, counseling and other means to financially needy
Connecticut youths who have suffered traumatic sports-related injuries.
This fall, the Fairfield County Sports Commission named James as the
recipient of one of its most prestigious honors, the Chelsea Cohen Courage
Award.The award recognizes a person in the sports community who has
demonstrated inspirational strength in overcoming life-altering obstacles.
Hope for the future: My hope for the future is to find a job in my
chosen career so I am able to pay my loans and move on with my life
and with helping others.
Why he is grateful: I am grateful to be alive and to have my parents
and people around me who care. I can’t say “thank you” enough.
The University of New Haven was playing against Merrimack College
last fall when I ran toward a player who was dribbling
the ball toward my goal. I dove for the ball,
trying to make a save – something I had
done a thousand times before – but this
time, it was different.This time, the
player’s knee collided with my jaw
with so much force, it ruptured a
vein in my brain, so all I remember
is waking up in the hospital.
The night of the accident, my
doctors told my coaches that
I would not make it – but I
am here now. Soon, I will be
able to tell people that
I graduated from the
University of New Haven.
I will have a degree from
a great school.And I will
have that degree because
scholarships and financial
aid helped me get it.
Thank you very much.

G A I L L . B R E K K E , MEMBER, UNH BOARD OF GOVERNORS
A former vice president with LIN Television, based in New Haven
and nationally headquartered in Providence, R.I., Gail also served
in leadership positions at KXAN NBC 36 in Austin, KITN-TV Fox 29
in Minneapolis/Saint Paul,WGBO-TV in Chicago,WNOL-TV in New
Orleans and KRBK-TV in Sacramento. She also was the president and
owner of Black Diamond Communications, Inc. in Minneapolis.
She created the Geraldine Hughes Brekke and Gail L. Brekke
Endowed Scholarship at UNH this year, in honor of her mother,
Geraldine, to fulfill her wish to create a collegiate award for
“Gerry’s Dream.” Geraldine was unable to afford a college
education for herself, and this scholarship will enable other
women to achieve the dream that eluded her.
What Motivates:
Charitable giving is always a deeply personal experience, such
as doing a charity walk for a friend with Lupus, accommodating
a professional colleague asking for volunteer time and dollars on a
cause we share, memorializing a departed friend or family member,
and believing and supporting the value of local arts organizations
and how they educate youth.
What Matters:
My present priorities are education and health initiatives.
Why She Helps:
I endowed a scholarship at UNH because this is my community now,
even though it is a great distance from where I grew up on the
prairies of the Midwest.Without the sacrifices of my parents
back then, a college education would never have been possible
for me.Their long hours and willingness to work more than
one job while raising four children were something to be
respected and memorialized in a way that can ‘give back’
in the same selfless manner that they did. I was always
proud of my mother and her spirit, and it meant a great deal
to her to speak of her daughter, the first college graduate in
our family.To be part of enabling that process for another
family is repaying a debt.

Double major: Nutrition and Dietetics, Biology/Pre-med
Involvement: Volunteer with Bright Bodies/Smart Moves, a weight management
program for children at the Celentano School in New Haven. The program focuses
on self-esteem building, exercise, nutrition education and family support to help
children succeed.
Hope for the future: To get my Registered Dietitian license, then proceed
to medical school. I have big aspirations for myself and am willing to do all
the hard work necessary to make them happen.
Why she is grateful: Here at UNH, I have found mentors who are
genuinely concerned about my future, and supportive people who push me
to strive for more each day. I have attended other colleges and universities,
and not one of them has even come close to offering the nurturing and
encouraging atmosphere I have found at UNH. I am thankful every day that
I am able to attend UNH — thank you! — and to be surrounded by people
who care for my future. I now see my potential, and I am most proud and
thankful for my newfound belief in myself.

Dennis is a former vice president of Human Resources, Olin Corp., and a 27-year member of the UNH faculty.
Donna is a veteran teacher and library media specialist, having taught in both the Connecticut and Missouri school systems.
The McGoughs created the McGough Family Endowed Scholarship at UNH this year.
What Motivates:
“To whom much has been given, much is required” (Luke 12:48).We try to be good
stewards of the resources that have been entrusted to us.
Dennis: Many years ago, I was asked to write a guest editorial in the Stamford Advocate
regarding homelessness. I was serving on the board for the Shelter for the Homeless, Inc.
in Stamford. I used this well-known idea as the basis for my editorial: Give someone a fish
and you feed them for a day, teach them how to fish… My firm belief is that this isn’t
an either/or situation. Sometimes you must do both, giving someone fish so that they can
survive while they are learning to fish.
Why They Help:
Donna: Dennis and I were volunteers at the Monroe (Conn.) EMS, and we served on the
administrative board for the service. I was a teacher for 30 years, in the most rewarding
profession possible.There is nothing more exciting than helping students understand the power
they have over their own success. Dennis and I both believe it is important to serve
our community.
Dennis: UNH does a terrific job in the higher education arena. In our own small way, we
support that effort through annual giving and scholarships.We believe in the UNH mission.
Donna and I also received help from our parents and each received some scholarship support.
We are privileged to pass it forward by providing scholarship support. If you can help, you must
help. If not me, who? If not now, when?
What Matters:
Service to God through family
and community
Dennis: My personal motto:
• Love God.
• Love your family.
• Give generously to others.
• Share your knowledge.
• Really be wherever you are.
Focus!
• Give all you have on every pitch.
• While alive, live!

ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR ALUMNI AFFINITY PROGRAMS AND GRADUATE STUDENT IN EDUCATION,
CORNELL UNIVERSITY
UNH ANNUAL FUND DONOR
FORMER STUDENT EMPLOYEE OF UNH PHONATHON
What Motivates:
Giving is my way of recognizing that my life is the way it is
now because of the generosity of others. Everyone in this
country, even if just in the smallest way, has benefited from
charitable contributions. From the hospital in which one
was born to the school one attends, all facets of society
are sustained by charitable contributions.To ignore such
an essential part of life in America is as counterproductive
as breathing in without breathing out.
What Matters:
God, family, school, work,Alpha Phi Alpha and then
everything else.
Why He Helps:
Higher education is more than just a service, it’s an
investment.While working for the UNH Phonathon,
I came to realize that alumni, by investing in the University,
were investing in me. I also received the UNH Presidential
Scholarship, which was a defining factor in my decision
to attend UNH. It’s time for me to show a return on
the investment.

L A U R A E N N I S , P A R E N T
Mother of Erin Ennis ’10, Chemistry and Forensic Science. Erin is assistant editor of
the Charger Bulletin, and a member of the Honors College, the 5-6-7-8- Dance Team,
the Gaming Club and the Forensic Science and Chemistry Club.
Laura Ennis has contributed to the University’s Annual Fund, the Building Fund
for the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science, and the David A. Beckerman
Recreation Center.
What Motivates:
Family is very important to me. I have tried to raise Erin to be a good
person, hoping to instill in her the same life lessons that I had: to give,
to volunteer.There’s always someone out there who has a little bit
more going on in their lives than in ours. My daughter was a great
person when she began at UNH, and she is a better person for having
been there for four years. It’s an excellent school.
What Matters:
Erin was born with a displaced hip.We brought her to Children’s Hospital
in Philadelphia, and when we saw what other children were suffering
with, we were so thankful for what we had.We had to go quite frequently,
and several times over that period I said to myself, “when I have the
opportunity to make a difference, I will.”
Why She Helps:
Because Erin chose the Forensic Science program at the University of New Haven,
I felt in my heart that giving to UNH would provide for other students who don’t
have so much.When UNH enhances itself, it has the opportunity to enhance
the lives of its students. In turn, those students will give back to someone else,
and the cycle will continue.

A LASTING LEGACY
Couple’s Gift Reflects the Past,
Significantly Affects the Future
“UNH is
one of several
institutions
that are
very dear
to me.”
Tom Reynolds
Tom Reynolds ’89 B.S., and Trina Reynolds
have taken the long view in their approach
to institutional giving. As a member of the Ellis
Maxcy Society at the University of New Haven,
Tom has left the University in his will, a gift
that will have an impact for years into the
future. “For me, the charities I place in my
will are a way to leave a legacy,” says Tom,
the assistant majority leader in the Connecticut
House of Representatives and a state
representative from the 42nd Assembly
District. “UNH is one of several institutions
that are very dear to me.” UNH seems
to run in the family; Tom’s brother,
John J. Reynolds ’87 B.A., is also a UNH grad.
Trina supports her husband’s allegiance to his
alma mater. “We make our giving decisions
jointly, and UNH had a significant impact on
his life. We take advantage of any opportunity
we have to give back.”
For information on making a planned gift, please contact
UNH Associate Vice President of Advancement Operations
Timothy Stanton at 203.932.7285 or email tstanton@newhaven.edu.
