Juniata MagazinePRESIDENT’S MESSAGEDear Friends,Sometimes it seems as though the primary duty of a college president ismeeting people. On campus or on the road as I travel the country talkingabout Juniata, I particularly enjoy meeting or becoming reacquainted withour loyal and enthusiastic alumni. Although all these encounters are different,there is one element in our meetings that remains constant – fond memoriesof an inspiring or influential faculty member.…every generation of Juniata students hastreasured memories of faculty whochanged not only their way of thinking,but their lives as well.More often than not, alumni mention the same names again and again, suchas Homer Will, Esther Doyle, Ken Crosby, and Betty Ann and Ron Cherry. Asyou will read in the lead story “Timeless Lessons” on Page 2, every generationof Juniata students has treasured memories of faculty who changed not onlytheir way of thinking, but their lives as well. Our current faculty ably holdsup Juniata’s tradition of superb teaching and caring student guidance.In addition to reading about five of our most recent winners of the Henry andJoan Gibbel Award for Distinguished Teaching and how our students feelabout their own influential teachers, please read on about the judicial legacyof the College’s pre-law program, currently under the sage counsel of politicsprofessor Jack Barlow. Another article, “Expanding Horizons of Faith,” detailshow the College’s J. Omar Good endowment has been adapted to create twonew faculty positions in the religion department, strengthening an element ofour liberal arts program that stretches back to the origins of the College.Juniata has had a wonderful period of growth, as we have built new facilitiesand improved our existing buildings. At the same time, the faculty who teach,advise, and instruct on our campus have maintained the same standards,intellect, and inspiration so fondly recalled by past generations.Warm regards,Thomas R. Kepple Jr.Presidentkepplet@juniata.edu

Five of the College’s most recent teaching awardwinners reflect on how such a legacy is maintained and improved upon.Legal Eagles: Liberal Arts Tradition Crucial to Learning the LawGaining a broad base of knowledge in many subject areas is the verydefinition of liberal arts education. It’s also the key to success as a lawyer or ajurist. Juniata’s pre-law program produces some of the best and brightestlegal scholars year in and year out.Expanding the College’s Horizons of FaithAlthough Juniata has a long and fruitful tradition of religious studies, theCollege has made a major step in transforming its humanities faculty byexpanding the Department of Religion to three full-time faculty members —a move made possible by redirecting the educational mission of the J. OmarGood endowment.Hatching Entrepreneurs at Juniata’s Business IncubatorBusiness students and community entrepreneurs can learn how to build abusiness from epiphany to exporting at the College’s new Juniata ValleyBusiness Incubator, a facility that is transforming an abandoned elementaryschool into an opportunity to build businesses and create the purest form ofexperiential learning.departmentsCampus NewsClass NotesIn ProductionFaculty FeatureFaculty Briefs38404248IBCSportsCampus EventsGifts@Work360° – Reconnecting with JuniataDéjà ViewFall 2002 | 1

Emil Nagengast“Student input is crucial,” says James Lakso, Juniata provostand a member of the faculty for more than three decades. “Ona couple of occasions, student reaction to a job candidate wasthe deciding factor on whether or not we made an offer.”Lakso points out that a key to the creation of a high-qualityfaculty is not forcing people into a certain mold. “You have togive people the freedom todevelop new and better ways ofdoing things,” he says. “We striveto hire faculty who will bring theirown individuality and vision tothe job.”A common vision that runsthrough nearly every academicdepartment is a deep concern for students and learning.Indeed, in the 2000 National Survey of Student Engagement,Juniata was one of eight institutions at the top of the 276national colleges and universities rated for a supportivecampus environment – a rating that reflects the quality of aninstitution’s teaching and advising.Catherine Stenson, assistant professor of mathematics“She is one of the hidden gems at Juniata. Her enthusiasm forteaching and her concern for her students is as high orhigher than that of any other professor at the College.”Marty Schettler ’03, Denver, Colo.Similar criteria that recognize the uniformly high quality of theCollege’s present faculty are underlined every year by theBeachley Award for Distinguished Teaching, which can beawarded to any faculty member, and the Henry and JoanGibbel Award for Distinguished Teaching (see CampusNews page 18), which goes to a faculty member with fewerthan six years of service. To understand the overall quality ofJuniata’s faculty, let’s considerrecent recipients of the GibbelAward. The past five recipients are:Jill Keeney, associate professor ofbiology (1998); Grace Fala,associate professor of communication(1999); Emil Nagengast,associate professor of politics(2000); Belle Tuten, assistant professor of history (2001); andAndrew Belser, associate professor of theatre (2002).Many point to the culture of teaching at Juniata as influentialin their decision to join the College’s faculty and as a sellingpoint for other incoming professors ready to begin anacademic career. “The culture of teaching here is enthusiasm4 | Juniata Magazine

Betty Ann CherryDonald RockwellJill Keeneyfor the job and for the students,” Nagengast says. “Thefaculty views other members of the faculty as extensions ofthemselves, and our enthusiasm for teaching really energizesthe entire group.”Biologist Keeney agrees, pointing out that professors in scienceand the humanities often observe classes outside theirindividual discipline. “I think there is an understanding andrespect for each other’s discipline,” she says. “I think eachprofessor realizes we are all working toward the same thing.”“Dr. Nagengast made me realize things about me and mybeliefs that I never would have realized if he had not helpedme to examine them,” says George Patitisas ’05, a sophomorefrom Huntingdon.James Borgardt, assistant professor of physics“Based on my high school experience,I thought physics was a dull anduseless subject. Dr. Borgardt quicklychanged my mind. He challengedus to think outside the box and madeus get excited about physics.”Amy Mullen ’03, Ebensburg, Pa.Many new faculty arrive at Juniata from much larger graduateinstitutions where teaching style and interaction withstudents may not be strongly emphasized. Historian BelleTuten says each new professor eventually discovers ateaching style that suits both themselves and the College.“You have to get to a style that fits your personality,” she says.“I gave up being called ‘Dr. Tuten’ after about two weeks.”Fall 2002 | 5

Grace FalaWilliam Russeyto become a good teacher. “If you’re at a small liberal artscollege you make much more personal connections with thestudents, and that changes how you teach,” she says.Nagengast goes further, saying, “The difference between abig and small institution is permanence. The students youteach at Juniata will be part of your life for the time theyattend the College and beyond.”Faculty mentors for incoming professors also play animportant part in the process. Informal mentoring is anongoing process at the College as well. “We’re always talkingshop,” Tuten says. “In the history department we talk aboutteaching all the time and we observe each others classes aswell as classes outside the department.”“Teaching is so clearly what is most important at Juniata thatour eyes are always focused on what is going to work bestfor the students,” Belser says. “Teaching is about opening aplace where students can rise to meet the concepts ofwhatever we are studying.”Ken CrosbyBelle TutenFall 2002 | 7

Legal8 | Juniata MagazineEaglesfJuniata’s Liberal Arts Tradition is a Crucible for Learning the LawFocusing on an ever-narrowing area of specialization is theaccepted path to many doctoral degrees, but mastery ofonly a single area of academia can be detrimental to abeginning lawyer.“Having a broad background in the liberal arts is helpful in lifeand in the law,” says Robert Rose ’61, Nevada Supreme CourtJustice and 2002 recipient of Juniata’s Alumni AchievementAward. “In the law and particularly as a judge, scholarship andwriting become very important and there is no better base oflearning than a liberal arts education.”Juniata’s pre-law program stresses the same point, asking thatstudents find an area of scholarship that interests them andtaking a broad range of courses within that area. In fact, theCollege has no formal required courses that every pre-lawstudent must take before going on to law school. “TheAmerican Bar Association recommends against going througha formal pre-law program,” explains political scientist JackBarlow, who is Juniata’s pre-law adviser. “If a student alreadyhas an idea of an area of law to study, I do recommend theytake specific classes, such as a basic accounting class if they areinterested in corporate law, or science classes if they areleaning toward patent law.”According to Dr. Barlow, Juniata sends an average of eightstudents a year into law schools across the nation. These

students are joined by more than 10 alumni every year whohave pursued other careers and subsequently chose to studylaw. In his role as adviser, Dr. Barlow offers advice on lawschools and funnels gifted students toward schools whereJuniata alumni have done well, both in terms of acceptancerates and individual success. “Some students I see every week,and sometimes I don’t find out a senior is interested in lawschool until their last semester,” he says. “Many of the schoolsI talk to say our students are more well-prepared for lawschool than many of their peers.”Dr. Barlow, who oversees a committee of faculty from otherdisciplines as part of the pre-law program, says most of his jobinvolves carefully listening as well as a session in which he laysout financial strategies for law-school bills. “There are very fewlaw schools that offer institutional aid,” he says.Juniata’s emphasis on writing and the flexible mix of coursesthat students can take are two critical elements in preparingfuture attorneys for the law. “What we do very well is givestudents specific feedback on their writing that allows them tomake significant progress in their ability to express theirideas,” Barlow says. “The ability to find elements in differentfields and relate them to an idea is what the liberal arts do verywell and I think that is essential for the law.”“As a lawyer and as a judge you are dealing with the wholespectrum of humanity,” explains Charles Brown ’59, a formertrustee and president judge of Centre County’s Court ofCommon Pleas. “It’s important to learn about the worldaround you because you will see people at times when theyare not at their best. Having a broad-based knowledge of theworld will be invaluable.”Another avenue that provides invaluable aid to the College’spre-law students is the Barrister’s Club, a student organizationthat emphasizes student-alumni interaction. “We bring inseveral local attorneys each semester to have lunch or speakFall 2002 | 9

Judge Charles Brownon current issues,” says Jeff Spotts ’03, a senior from Lewisburgwho will serve as the club’s president for two years through the2002–03 academic year. Other Barrister’s Club activitiesinclude sponsoring LSAT examination practice sessions orscreening films with legal themes.College connections to alumni and the local legal community alsoprovide invaluable contacts for student internships. Spotts willintern with Huntingdon County public defender FrederickGutshall ’68 in the fall semester, and Judge Brown has hosted manyJuniata interns and often hires Juniata graduates as law clerks.Other students have interned at Congressional offices, the FederalTrade Commission and other regulatory agencies.Nevada Supreme Court JusticeRobert Rose ’61 says Juniata’s wellroundedliberal arts curriculum isperfect preparation for the law andfor life as well.While Dr. Barlow recommends a wide-ranging POE course load,he believes that pre-law students should take the constitutionallaw sequence, because law school students are required to studythat subject. In addition, this fall Judge Brown, who, along withJustice Rose and former College Trustee Delbert McQuaide, wasone of three New York University Root-Tilden Scholars fromJuniata, will teach Criminal Law, a three-hour course that willmeet every Tuesday.Justice Rose also recommends finding a faculty mentor. Both heand Judge Brown were shepherded into law careers by formerJuniata history professor Ken Crosby. Rose, who must run for reelectionas a Supreme Court Justice and who was elected to otherstatewide offices such as Nevada’s lieutenant governor, found that apublic speaking course he took at Juniata has served him well timeand time again over his career.10 | Juniata MagazinePerhaps the most telling statistic for the excellence of Juniata’s prelawprogram is that every Juniata student who has graduated lawschool since Dr. Barlow started tracking its graduates has passedthe bar exam on the first try. “The liberal arts model of education isthe best possible way of preparing for law school,” Dr. Barlow saysemphatically. “We do it as well as anyone, and better than most.”

tThe legacy of donorNew Horizons ofLegacy of Donor J. Omar Good Brings Religion into the LightJ. Omar Good hasallowed the College toexpand its religiondepartment to threefaculty members andto develop provocativecourses thatexamine science, faithand evolution.Juniata’s newly expandedDepartment of Religion hasallowed the college to tacklecontroversial topics such asscience and evolution. Biologyprofessor Randy Bennett, shownhere with some visual aidsfrom CA201, God, Evolutionand Culture, is one of fourfaculty to teach the course.12 | Juniata MagazineThe study of religion isdeeply entwined withinJuniata’s historical missionof education. Courses onreligion were a part of theCollege’s curriculum sinceits founding. Historian EarlKaylor notes that theecumenical study of religionhas been a hallmark ofJuniata since the Collegestarted a School of Religionin the 1920s, offering abachelor of divinity degree.“For most of Juniata’shistory we had threereligion professors on thefaculty,” Dr. Kaylor ’46 says.That legacy is about tocome full circle as theCollege is currentlyexpanding the Departmentof Religion to complementnoted medieval Christianityscholar Jose Nieto, Mary S.Geiger Professor of Religionand History. Nieto, whoseclasses have experienced anupsurge in enrollment asmore students enter theCollege with an interest inissues of faith, has beenjoined by Donald Braxton,J. Omar Good AssociateProfessor of Religion for thefall semester. Anothermember of the religionfaculty will be hired in the2003–04 academic year.“Our students areinterested in religiousquestions,” says JamesLakso, Juniata provost.“We’ve seen it in ourstudent surveys, and fromthe number of studentssigning up for Dr. Nieto’scourses. Membership inservice clubs such asHabitat for Humanity andcampus ministry really hasblossomed.”“The speed andstreamlining of modernliving has led to a certainamount of disillusionmentwith modern culture,”explains Braxton, anordained EvangelicalLutheran minister.“Students are looking forways to understand and arediscovering things to meettheir religious needs.”For the past 30 years,Juniata used part of a $1million gift fromPhiladelphia printingexecutive J. Omar Good tohire a visiting professor ofreligion. Typically, thevisiting theologians wouldstay one or two years at theCollege. Good, an 1890seraalumnus and a memberof Philadelphia’s FirstChurch of the Brethren,made his gift through hisestate upon his death in1969. $500,000 was used torenovate Science Hall (nowGood Hall), and theremaining $500,000 wasused to fund “recognizedauthorities in the field ofevangelical theology,” abequest that included thevisiting faculty program.Successful management ofthat endowment has causedit to grow dramatically.Part of the Good fundstoday are used by the Officeof Campus Ministry to funda half-time campus ministerposition and to partiallyfund the office’s director ofservice learning andvolunteer programs. A newhalf-tuition service andleadership scholarship alsowill come from the Goodendowment. Ultimatelythere will be one scholarshipwinner in each class.According to W. ClemensRosenberger ’54, a retiredBrethren minister who is oneof the trustees of the Goodestate and a longtime JuniataTrustee, it became clear inrecent years that the Collegehad managed the originalbequest so well that funds

Faithwere now in place tosubstantially change theimpact of Good’s originalgift. “The world ischanging, the religions ofthe world are changing, itwas obvious we needed alarger vision for a religionprogram,” he says.Rosenberger says theexpanded department willaddress courses andresearch in all religions,including Judaism, Islam,and Buddhism. “Religionand culture always havebelonged together andJuniata’s liberal artscurriculum complementsthat, while the College’sstrong science traditionswill allow students andfaculty to explore ethicalquestions and other issues.”To decide how to approachthe departmentalexpansion, in September2002 the College conveneda panel of five religionfaculty from other collegesand seminaries, includingtwo former Juniata J. OmarGood visiting professors.The panel recommendedhiring faculty who cancontribute expertise widelyacross the Collegecurriculum. “The newreligion professors willimmediately contribute toour interdisciplinaryCultural Analysis courses,which every student musttake before graduating,”Lakso says.One such course is CA201,God, Evolution, and Culture,a course created last year byRandy Bennett, associateprofessor of biology, DougGlazier, professor ofbiology, and Xinli Wang,assistant professor ofphilosophy. In the 2002–03academic year, Braxton willjoin the team. “We wantedto find an audience forevolutionary education, sostudents could gainexperience in all aspects ofthe debate.” says Bennett, amolecular biologist. “Oneof the reasons I joined theJuniata faculty was thechance to teach things thatare not so narrowly focusedthat only 10 people careabout it.”The team recently receivedone of 54 $10,000 grantsawarded for the 2002–03academic year by theCenter for Theology andthe Natural Sciences’Science and ReligionCourse Program. Fundingfor the awards comes froma grant by the JohnTempleton Foundation.Established in 1994, theScience and ReligionCourse Program hasgranted more than 700awards for new sciencereligioncourses awards. Itis estimated that theseawards have resulted inmore than 1,600 newcourses offerings oncampuses around theworld. Bennett says thefunds will be used toimprove Beeghly Library’sresources on science andevolution and to bring innotable special lecturers onrelevant topics.Trustee Rosenberger saidthe original guidelines forthe J. Omar Goodendowment were made inthe early 1970s, a timewhen, according to Dr.Kaylor’s book UncommonVision, Uncommon Loyalty,“virtual student autonomyhad bred a confusing arrayof conflicting beliefs thatmeant that collegians faceda serious crisis of values.”Today, College administratorsand the trustees of theGood Endowment(Rosenberger, Kaylor, andNancy Rosenberger Faus)believe that the revampedreligion program reemphasizesmany of thevalues of service, peacefulcooperation, andecumenical thought thatformed the College’seducational legacy.“I think Juniata is poised inthis front to do somewonderful things,”Rosenberger says. “I amvery grateful to have anopportunity to return to theoriginal intent of theendowment while applyingit in a broader context.”Fall 2002 | 13

sHatching Entrepreneurs at Juniata’s Incubatoress VisionariesThe former Alfarata ElementarySchool in Huntingdon will betransformed from a place thatshaped young minds to aplace that helps young andexperienced entrepreneursshape fledgling business ideasinto ongoing enterprises.Students have been creating small businesses to make extracash for their studies for eons – or at least since one of Plato’sdevotees organized a toga-cleaning business. Juniata studentsfall right into that tradition, whether the venture is a onepersondeli-sandwich delivery operation or a Web-page designfirm with employees, products, and corporate bylaws.To tap into the entrepreneurial energy of the College’s studentbody, Juniata has started three innovative programs designedto nurture business ideas from epiphany to economic success.The first program will take a physical location at Huntingdon’sformer Alfarata Elementary School, transforming part of theschoolhouse space into the Juniata Valley Incubator andJuniata College Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. Thesecond program is academic, in which students take a fourcourseimmersion in small business management taught froman entrepreneurial perspective. The third program is theCollege’s Venture Capital Fund, which provides each student(individually or as part of a team) with $5,000 or more in seedmoney to pursue a business idea approved by the center.“Helping create and grow businesses in Huntingdon County isin the long-term best interests of the College,” says John Hille,vice president for advancement and marketing. “It also is oneof the purest forms of experiential learning. If a studentinitiates a project and is making decisions about profit andloss, that becomes an intense experience that is quite differentthan reading a case study in a textbook or doing an internshipat an established company.”That type of hands-on learning technique is at the center ofthe entrepreneurial sequence currently being designed byfaculty in the Department of Accounting, Business andEconomics. “We’ve been teaching a course in entrepreneurshipfor 23 years, called Small Business Management which wasfocused on a single project that ended when the semesterFall 2002 | 15

The new business incubator will provide a laboratory of opportunity for Juniata business students, according to Jim Donaldson,professor of accounting, business and economics. A new four-part entrepreneurial lab sequence will give business studentsentrepreneurial experience from writing business plans to marketing.ended,” explains Jim Donaldson, professor of accounting,business and economics. “This year, we have refocused ourIntroduction to Business course into four semester-long labs inwhich students go through the steps of creating a business.”Students interested in business will take EB 101 Introductionto Business, followed by four semester-long Hands-onEnterprise Leadership Labs. Each entrepreneurial lab course(only the first lab sequence is a required course) will follow abusiness creation sequence: creating ideas and writing abusiness plan; refining the business plan, presenting the planto the venture capital board and implementing the business ifapproved; and two upper-level lab experiences wherestudents establish their business and manage theenterprise. “The idea is that studentscan create their own ventures orstep into existing businesses thathave been created in the JuniataValley Incubator,” Donaldson says.“Eventually we will have a collection ofbusinesses at various stages ofdevelopment where students canget experience in startup strategies,growth strategies, andspecialization skills such asmarketing, inventory, andmanagement.”Ideally, Donaldson hopes thedepartment will be operating a miniconglomeratethat will create one ortwo new startups each year. As theproject grows, students interested in entrepreneurship can trygetting a venture off the ground, and students interested inother skills can join existing enterprises. “You can’t forcepeople to be entrepreneurs,” Donaldson says. “If we can createbusinesses that employ people in nonseasonal, aboveminimumwage jobs, then that is a great community service.As we get community entrepreneurs in the incubator, we canplace students in those projects as well.”To accommodate such an ambitious business vision, theCollege purchased the former Alfarata school in June for$130,000. The former elementary school, located a fewblocks from the College on Moore Street, will be totallyrenovated and refurbished to create the Juniata ValleyIncubator in the two-story building’s southwest wing. Therest of the school will be turned into single-room studenthousing some time in the future.Juniata also has refurbished the classic businessincubator model to better suit its educationalmission and to better serve a changing localand regional business community. “Mostincubators have the goal to makemoney by recruiting businessesand taking a percentage ofthe enterprise’s equity or byacting as a landlord,” Hilleexplains. “Our goal is to breakeven on the incubator and create theopportunity for experiential learning and alasting impact on the community.”“A business incubator would have been a great help for mewhen I was at Juniata,” says David Decker ’00, a Webdeveloper at Carnegie Mellon University. Decker joined anInternet business called Liquid Binary in his senior year atthe College. “Even if an enterprise fails, it teaches you a greatdeal. It would be great experience to go through the processof starting a company and have the opportunity to touchevery part of the business.”16 | Juniata Magazine

incubator tenants. The second floor will provide two largestaging areas that tenants can use for large-scale projects suchas assembly or packaging. The offices and staging area can beused both by permanent tenants and on a temporary basis forfirms in need of particular services or space.The Juniata Valley Incubator will operate in three separatemodels: virtual, hotel, and dedicated. The virtual incubatoroffers services to students and regional businesses using Webbasedtechnology such as distance-learning business courses,marketing and business plan evaluations and student-ledinformation technology consulting services. The hotel modeoffers access to all incubator services, but offers temporaryphysical space for the business. Enterprises can use thebuilding on an as-needed basis, such as renting a conferenceroom for a two-day meeting, renting an office and equipmentfor a week, or using incubator space to assemble and packagea product. The dedicated incubator mode offers entrepreneurspermanent office, storage, and assemblage space in theincubator facility and full access to all services of the incubator.The incubator will be staffed by a director, a program manager,and an administrative assistant, positions that initially will befunded in part by a $121,000 “Stay Invent the Future”Challenge Grant from the Pennsylvania Department ofCommunity and Economic Development. The incubator alsois expected to house offices for the director and businessmanager of the Huntingdon County Business and Industry(HCB&I) Office, as well as staff of the Small BusinessDevelopment Institute at St. Francis University. Managementpersonnel will be housed in the incubator’s first floor. The restof the first floor space will feature two conference rooms,computer operations, a copy and work area, a break room,bathroom facilities and six or more modular offices forThe College also has agreed to provide management servicesto HCB&I, the Huntingdon-based economic developmentagency that recruits new businesses into Huntingdon County.The College will give the agency offices in the incubator andprovide day-to-day direction of HCB&I staff and programs.Students and incubator tenants will have access to the agency’sservices, including tenants’ use of a large industrial space inMount Union if needed. “Every enterprise will have access to awide range of services that can be used at the discretion of thebusiness, but the incubator also features a variety of optionsthat can be offered to a business as it expands,” Hille says.Donaldson says the incubator is open to any student orcommunity member with an entrepreneurial idea. Juniatastudents must go through an approval process that includeswriting a business plan, making a presentation to theincubator’s board of directors, and applying for capital fundsto start the venture. Juniata’s Venture Capital Fund promises$5,000 for each student who has started a businessindividually or as part of a team. In addition, entrepreneurscan apply through the incubator for grants of $1,000 to$20,000 from the National Collegiate Inventors andInnovators Alliance, a national program sponsored by theLemelson Foundation promoting invention and entrepreneurshipamong college students. The incubator also can helpbusinesses secure funding from the Small BusinessAdministration or other venture capital sources.“The incubator and labs in entrepreneurship will really give ustrue-to-life experience,” says Carli Dale ’05, a sophomore fromCochranton, Pa. “I can’t imagine a better way to learn.”Fall 2002 | 17

Newton and Hazel Long Professor ofHistory at Juniata College, told Juniata students to focuson matters that they can control while living up to thestandards that they have set for themselves as he deliveredthe commencement address to the graduating class of 284students at Juniata’s 124th commencement ceremony onMay 12.Graduating seniors heard commencement speaker David Hsiung,W. Newton and Hazel Long Professor of History at Juniata, whourged students to reach beyond any disappointments to pursuedreams of success.“Like some of my students, I put off working on thisassignment until last night,” joked Hsiung, who was named2000 Professor of the Year in the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania by the Carnegie Foundation for theAdvancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancementand Support of Education. “Since I left this until the lastminute, my speech is a little short. It’s haiku. Here are mywords of wisdom:Boldly pursue dreamsand reach far, but don’t forgetGive bucks to your school.Quoting liberally from philosophers such as Homer, MichelMontaigne, and Charles Barkley, Hsiung went beyond hishaiku poem and prepared the assembled graduates for theirfirst jobs or next experience by saying, “Do you deserve thehardship and pain that happens to you over a lifetime? Idon’t think so. You can rage at the gods or you can simplydo what you can.

Trim, a director ofphotography in Hollywood, an award-winning cinematographer,and a Juniata graduate, returned to campus in June toteach at the camp.“I’m absolutely amazed at what thesekids have been able to accomplish in ashort period of time,” Trim saidhalfway through the weeklong camp.“On the first evening of camp we gavethem some basic instruction in the useof equipment, showed them a series ofshort films designed to stimulate theirthinking, and the next day they wereCinematographer and Juniataalumnus Mike Trim ’76 helpscampers direct and producetheir own films at “ExtremeMedia” camp.

shooting and editing. We have kids working on shortanimation pieces, while others are working on lengthierdocumentaries, action films, and comedies.”“The kids jumped right in working with the technology, whichis really outstanding at Juniata,” Trim said. Nathan Wagoner ’80,Extreme Media Camp director and technology trainer at Juniata,sees tech camps as the wave of the future. “Kids are so into thiskind of technology these days,” Wagoner noted. “Parents andkids are looking for ways to broaden their understanding oftechnology and camps such as ours are a great way to engagethese young minds and get them moving in a positive directionin using these tools.”Trim took it a step further in suggesting that the enthusiasmand interest he has seen through the Extreme Media Campmay only be the tip of the iceberg. “The kids are here workingfrom 8 in the morning until 11 at night,” he said. “Theirenthusiasm is incredible and there are many more youngpeople out there who would be interested in this kind ofwork. With a bit of planning, I believe Juniata could developundergraduate program offerings in this area. It is anincredible amount of fun.”For more information on Juniata’s Extreme Media Campcontact Nathan Wagoner at wagonen@juniata.edu.Chemist’s GlowingResearch MakesIts MarkThe crusading forensicsleuths on such televisionshows as CSI and CrossingJordan seemingly solvecrimes by lifting fingerprints from such outlandish surfaces astoenails, leather upholstery, and even human skin. In the realworld of crime solving, it’s no sure bet that fingerprints can beidentified from porous surfaces such as paper, but JuniataCollege chemist Richard Hark and a team of students areworking to improve those odds.“In the movies, the police are always dusting for prints, butapplication of a fine powder to reveal fingerprints only workson nonporous surfaces such as glass, Formica, and paintedareas,” says Dr. Hark, associate professor of chemistry.Research assistant Angela Sauers ’02 and Richard Hark, associateprofessor of chemistry, use blue light and a filtered viewing glass toexamine how a fingerprint will “fluoresce” or glow.“Identifying fingerprints on porous surfaces such as paper,wallpaper, and other areas must be done by using a chemicalsubstance that makes the print visible to investigators.”Dr. Hark and recent Juniata graduate Angela Sauers ’02, fromYork Springs, Pa., are working to create an improved chemicalreagent that can easily be applied by investigators at a crimescene or in a forensic lab and that has properties that allowstechnicians to see the print more easily under laser light.When a finger touches a surface these residues remain on thatsurface, leaving an invisible print called a “latent” fingerprint.Currently, law enforcement investigators use a chemicalcompound called ninhydrin to spray on latent prints.Ninhydrin causes the amino acid residues in the fingerprint toappear purple. Forensic technicians also use other chemicalsto cause latent prints to glow or “fluoresce” when exposed tovarious light sources.Dr. Hark and Sauers are working to create a compound withenhanced features based on compound called 1,2-indanedione, which has excellent fluorescing properties. Theirresearch is derived from Hark’s doctoral research at theFall 2002 | 21

University of Pennsylvania, where he developed severalchemical compounds related to ninhydrin – called “analogs” inchemistry circles. Earlier in his research career, Harkcollaborated with the U.S. Secret Service on the developmentof latent fingerprint reagents.“The Secret Service is particularly interested in this type ofresearch because much of their work focuses on poroussurfaces like counterfeit currency, forged checks, orthreatening letters to government officials,” Hark says.If Sauers’ synthetic compound is a marked improvement overcurrent reagents, then Hark will assign other students todiscover if the compound can be produced economically.Juniata FacultyReceive Teaching,Service AwardsThree Juniata Collegefaculty members werehonored April 30 beforea crowd of more than700 with distinguished teaching awards during the college’sSpring Awards Convocation in Oller Hall. Honored for theirwork at the college were Alexander McBride, professor of art;Tom Fisher, professor of chemistry; and Andrew Belser,associate professor of theatre.McBride was honoredwith the 35th annualBeachley Award forDistinguished Teaching,while Fisher was namedthe recipient of the 13thannual Beachley Award forDistinguished AcademicService. Belser received theHenry and Joan GibbelAward for DistinguishedTeaching by a facultymember with fewer thansix years of service.Three Juniata faculty were honoredwith teaching awards. Pictured are:(from left) Andrew Belser, associateprofessor of theatre and recipient ofthe Gibbel Award for DistinguishedTeaching; Tom Fisher, professor ofchemistry and recipient of theBeachley Award for DistinguishedAcademic Service; AlexanderMcBride, professor of art andrecipient of the Beachley Award forDistinguished Teaching.McBride received his undergraduate education at the RhodeIsland School of Design, graduating in 1962. He received hismaster of fine arts from Cornell University in 1964. He beganhis career at Juniata in 1970. He was promoted to associateprofessor in 1978 and was named full professor in 1986.McBride’s work is in the permanent collections of PepsicoHeadquarters in Purchase, N.Y. and the Academy of MotionPicture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, Calif. McBride hashad numerous one-person exhibitions and has been includedin many group art exhibits, including shows at the SouthernAlleghenies Museum of Art, The Central Pennsylvania Festivalof the Arts, and the Three Rivers Art Festival.Tom Fisher, 2002 recipient of the Beachley Award forDistinguished Academic Service, came to Juniata in 1976. Heearned a doctoral degree from Iowa State University in 1971,and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Old DominionUniversity in 1964. Before coming to Juniata, Fisher workedas an assistant professor at St. Mary’s College of Maryland from1972 to 1976.He was promoted to associate professor in 1980 and to fullprofessor in 1988. Although he started as a biochemist, Fishernow concentrates on analytical chemistry and teaches Juniatastudents how to use the sophisticated scientific instrumentsused in chemical laboratories.Andrew Belser, recipient of the Gibbel Award for DistinguishedPerformance, came to Juniata in 1997 as an assistant professorof theatre. He has worked extensively as a professional directorboth before and during his academic career. He has directedmore than 30 theatre productions at professional anduniversity venues.He earned a master’s degree in theatre from VillanovaUniversity in 1985 and a master’s degree in directing fromVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1995. Heearned a bachelor’s degree in communication arts andsecondary education from Grove City College in 1982.22 | Juniata Magazine

Chemist Tom Fisher loves tofind out how things work. Somuch so that he has designedstripped-down versions ofanalytical instruments that costmuch less than commerciallysold products.Cutting-Edge Instrumentsat Cut-Rate PricesWhen mostscientists lookat an intricatescientific instrument, they see a tool for uncovering the secretsof the natural world. When Juniata College chemist TomFisher sees a scientific instrument, he sees a way to use hisown tools to make the same instrument for less money.Much less money.Fisher teaches the college’s course in analytical chemistry –essentially a semester of learning how to use the scientificinstruments required in the world of 21st centurychemistry. Although he started his career as a biochemist,Fisher always found himself drawn to how machines work.“I remember in 1948 my dad gave me a pith helmet thathad a radio incorporated in it,” he recalls. “It had a vacuumtube that sort of stuck up on the brim like a horn. It wasthe talk of the neighborhood.”These days Fisher wears many hats – teacher, author,advisor – and perhaps the role dearest to his heart –inventor. Using materials found mostly at hardware storesand Radio Shack, he incorporates sophisticated electronicsinto machines that perform the same function ascommercially sold scientific instruments.His version of a spectrophotometer, which analyzes andidentifies compounds using unique qualities that light wavesemit as they pass through the compound, features an electricalbox cover, the butterfly nut from a toggle bolt, a relativelysophisticated diffraction grating and several machine screwsattached to sophisticated electronics. His cost: just over $200.The computer used to run the instrument is extra.Fisher founded a company, Inexpensive Systems, to market hisproducts but found that his inventive vision had no realmarket niche. “Most chemists who need material analyzedwant instant results and can write a grant to buy whateverinstrument they need,” Fisher says. “On the other end, highschool chemistry and science classes often have small budgetsand can’t afford to buy even a less expensive $150 version ofan analytical instrument.”Nowadays Fisher creates some of his affordable instrumentsfor use in Juniata College labs. He also occasionally makesspecialized scientific instruments for his wife, Ruth Reed, alsoa Juniata College professor of chemistry.“I think I’ve spent about $70,000 over the years and taken inabout $3,000 in sales, so this has turned out to be just anexpensive hobby,” he says with a laugh.He has invented an anodic stripping voltammeter, whichanalyzes toxic metals in solution (Cost: about $12,000). Fisherreconfigured the instrument using electronics, a few rotatingparts and a metal mesh pencil holder from an office supplystore. Total price: $150.Fall 2002 | 23

Juniata MagazineCLASS NOTESAlumni tProfileHarriet Windsor ’62Harriet (Nichols) Windsor ’62he credo Harriet Windsor lives by – and coincidentally, also serves as the title ofher yet-to-be-written autobiography – is “You never know who is looking and whatthey are seeing.” Like most personal mottos, a little explanation is in order, butsimply put, the aphorism means that no man or woman is an island, where aperson’s existence affects only himself or herself.In reality, our lives interact with countless others over time and often othersmake judgments about ourselves, judgments that can affect our lives andcareers. The varied career path Windsor followed after graduating with a degreein English from Juniata is practically a primer to prove her motto.Now Secretary of State for Delaware, responsible for the smooth operation of eightstate agencies and countless government offices within those areas, Windsor saysher success comes in a direct line from the judgments and assessments professorsand classmates made during her four years at the College.“No matter who we are in life, we are significant to so many others,” she says. “AtJuniata I saw so many people who made a deep impression on me that I remembertheir names as if it were yesterday. I’m sure many of them aren’t aware of howthey impressed me, but, as I say, you never know who is looking.”A native of Millsboro, Del., Windsor had been aimed for acollege career by her mother, a strong-willed person who had “No matter who we areearned a college degree herself and who, after her husband in life, we are significantdied in an auto accident, brought Harriet up alone. Expecting to so many others.”to go to the University of Delaware, Windsor happened to tellher high school history teacher, Otis Jefferson ’49, of her plans. “He told me hethought Juniata would be a good fit for me so I agreed to visit the campus,” sherecalls. “They welcomed me with open arms. My mother later told me that Juniatareally reinforced the values she taught me.”At Juniata, Windsor jumped into the social and educational whirl, aiming hercareer dreams on the theatre. She acted in The Boyfriend, took singing and musiclessons and planned to apply to Northwestern University’s prestigious theatreprogram. “Esther Doyle [professor emeritus of English] inspired me in so manyways,” she says. She also foreshadowed her later political career by running forthe chair of the social activity committee in the Student Senate. She won, of course.“My slogan was ‘Make your two cents worth a nickel’s worth,’” says the formerHarriet Nichols.Windsor’s plans for the stage were put on hold when another Juniata alumna, thelate Irene Faucett Larrimore ’43 recommended her for a job teaching at SeafordSenior High School in Seaford, Del. After 11 years at the high school, sheaccepted a job as English professor at Delaware Technical and Community24 | Juniata Magazine(Continued on page 32)

Along the way, she earned a master’s degree in 1979 anda doctorate in 1988, both from the University of Delaware. She alsoco-wrote a journalism text, “Writing Skills for Technical Students,”which still is in print. Eventually, she was named dean of instruction atDelaware Tech.Then in 1992, at a point in her career when most folks are mentallycalculating their retirement income, Windsor received a phone callfrom a man who had been watching her career closely. Then-Delaware Gov. Thomas Carper, now a U.S. Senator (D-Del.), madethe call. “He asked me to consider joining his cabinet as personneldirector. I asked him when he wanted to talk to me about it, and hesaid, ‘This afternoon.’” By the end of the day, Harriet Windsor hadstarted her political career.She served through Carper’s entire administration from 1992 to 2000,overseeing such innovations as online applications, technologyintroductions and customer service improvements. Along the way shereared her children, Julia and James Smith, now both graduatestudents at the University of Delaware. When Carper ran for theSenate, Windsor thought retirement with her husband, RichardWindsor, assistant business manager at Delaware Tech, might be in herplans. Another phone call. This one was from Democratic DelawareGov.-elect Ruth Ann Minner. Minner wanted Windsor to be her Secretaryof State, a post in which she has thrived during the past two years. She isresponsible for Delaware’s arts programs, state libraries, the statearchives, human relations, veterans’ affairs, historic and cultural affairs,the bank commissioner, and the Division of Corporations.“One of the first things I did was visit every office in those divisions tomeet every employee,” Windsor says. “Part of my job is to be anambassador for my state and part is to keep complicated governmentoffices running smoothly.” A typical day can take Windsor from oneend of the state to the other as she meets with groups ranging fromMiss Delaware contestants to Delaware veterans to corporate CEOs.“Much of my personality and character – the concept of being fair andhonest with everyone you meet – can be traced back to Juniata. Ialways talk about treating people fairly, and the smallness of theCollege campus was conducive to that, as is the smallness of the stateof Delaware. At Juniata, you spoke to everyone, no matter who theywere. I try to do the same thing every day in my job.”32 | Juniata Magazine

Juniata MagazineFACULTY FEATUREto comeRandy RosenbergerAsk Randy Rosenberger anyquestion on any subject andbe prepared to receive aresponse that encompasses allsides of the question. After all,this is a man who admits thathe loves to analyze everythingfrom the microbreweryindustry to Allen Iverson’sjump shot.Rosenberger, SwigartAssociates SupportedAssistant Professor ofManagement, has plied his giftfor analysis since 1997 atJuniata, where he teaches avariety of business courses,including Behavioral Analysisof Organizations and Processof Management. But his pathto academia was morecircuitous, as he, well,analyzed different aspects ofthe business world.“I was always interested inhaving my own business,”Rosenberger recalls. “I was sortof the forerunner of the ‘FamilyTies’ Alex P. Keaton character –obsessed with business.”Throughout his student days,Rosenberger worked at a varietyof temporary but instructivejobs, including stints as a foodmanager at Hershey Park and asa partner in a commercial clamdiggingbusiness with his twoyounger brothers. Aftergraduating from DickinsonCollege in 1980 he entered thebusiness world as anaccountant in the Harrisburgoffice of Ernst and Whinney.Still, the pangs ofentrepreneurship tugged atRosenberger’s consciousnessand he entered the master’s ofbusiness administrationprogram at Cornell University,graduating in 1985. Shortlythereafter, he stepped intoanother career as aninvestment banker at a smallPhiladelphia-area venturecapital firm. “I analyzedbusiness plans,” Rosenbergerexplains. “I think clearly I wasgood at that, offering pros andcons and basically analyzingan idea to death.”Ironically, the same powers ofanalysis that aided othersoffered only paralysis when itcame to launchingRosenberger’s ownentrepreneurial career. “Iwould think about ideas overand over and I always couldfind a reason or two that itwas not a good idea,” he says,smiling. “My plan had alwaysbeen to become a millionaireentrepreneur who would thenretire and teach.”A stranger, a college professorwho shared a seat withRosenberger on an Amtraktrain, spoke five words thatchanged his outlook, “Whydon’t you teach now?”Rosenberger canvassed localcolleges and universities,eventually leaving the venturecapital firm to secure slotsteaching at St JosephsUniversity and DelawareCollege Community College.A move to State College tosecure a doctorate at PennState brought Rosenberger tothe area along with his wife,Lynn Huddell, now aphysician’s assistant at PennState’s student health center.As he worked through hisdoctoral studies, Rosenbergerand his wife started theirfamily, first with daughterVeronica, now 11, and sonPeter, now 8. He worked as ateaching assistant at Penn Statebefore coming to Juniata. “Ireally think Juniata is perfectfor me,” he says. “I think I’mforever revising and re-thinkingapproaches in the classroom,which brings in that analyticalthing again.”“Randy has a great ability to bedemanding of his students in avery gentle way,” says Bill Duey,professor emeritus ofaccounting, business andeconomics. “When we teamtaught a course, he came upwith games, contests,provocative questions – hewould start every day withsome sort of scheme to get thestudents involved.”One aspect of life thatRosenberger didn’t have to thinkabout is involvement in theHuntingdon community. Heserves as president of theStanding Stone ElementarySchool Parent-Teacher Groupand coaches the soccer,basketball and baseball teamsthat his children participate in.He also is determined toparticipate fully in the Juniatacommunity. He advises threestudent clubs, Students ofBusiness, the Juniata Associationof Musicians and the ModernKendo Club. “I moved arounda lot my entire life and theidea of being productive andbeing a contributor to mycommunity mattered to me –it’s that simple.”34 | Juniata Magazine

Juniata MagazineSPORTSTaking Care of BusinessBy Josh Chubb ’02Brandy Workinger ’0238 | Juniata MagazineBill Bishop ’03Athletes who compete onthe collegiate level train andprepare their bodies all yearlong so that they can be inbetter shape – mentally andphysically – for the nexttime they take to the playingsurface. Mix the training andpreparation with 15 or 16academic credit hours andwhat do you get? Oneanswer is a Juniatastudent-athlete.Randy Rosenberger,Swigart AssociatesSupported Professor ofManagement,understands thedemands studentathletesface whilestriding toward theirundergraduate degree.A former baseballplayer during hisundergraduate days atBurlington CountyCommunity Collegeand then at DickinsonCollege, Rosenberger hasbeen in the shoes of thestudent-athletes he advisestoday. Although he knowsthe demands placed on anathlete, he still treats each ofhis students as individuals,regardless of their extracurricularinvolvement.Business is not the largest ormost popular Program ofEmphasis (POE) on campus;however, it has grown largerover the past few years. “Onereason [the business POE] is inan upswing is the recent surgeof the information technologydepartment at Juniata,” saidRosenberger. “We also getstudents who come to theCollege with other POEs.”Bill Bishop ’03, a seniordefensive tackle for the footballteam and Brandy Preslovich ’02a forward for the women’sbasketball team as well as ashortstop for the softball team,were two of the fallouts fromother departments. “I came toJuniata as a Spanish major, thenI found out that I could add abusiness degreeto my POE andmake myselfmore rounded,”said Bishop.“Like a lot ofstudents oncampus, I cameas a scienceBrandy Preslovich ’02major but decided that it wasnot for me,” Preslovich added.“I loved playing basketball andsoftball so much that I decidedto change my major to sportsmanagement to keep me closerto the sports I enjoy.”

Jamie Campbell ’02, a football and baseball standout atJuniata, let his future endeavors drive him towards thebusiness department on College Hill. “I decided that takingaccounting classes would help me with my plans of workingfor the federal government, such as the FBI, CIA or UnitedStates Marshal Service. These jobs like applicants to have abackground in accounting and business, so I decided to takethese courses as an undergraduate.”The business professors always work with the athleticdepartment by answering any questions incoming freshmenathletes have concerning the business department. The directconnection may not be an easy one to see, but Rosenbergerbrings it into focus. “Athletics are consistent with the liberalarts approach in life,” he said. “Sports create a balance for theathletes that does not exist anywhere else for them. Athleticscan also be a direct extension of the classroom for businessmajors. Events can happen during competition that relatedirectly to business theory.”College sports also help the student-athletes to deal withmanagement of all types, whether serving as team captain orbalancing schoolwork.“I found the work difficult because of the amount of groupwork that goes along with the business POE,” explainedBrian Dietrich ’02, a guard and captain for the men’sbasketball team. “I found that athletics, in turn,helped me in class because I was used to dealingwith people in a group situation because of mybasketball background.”Preslovich, another team captain, agreed, butfor slightly different reasons. “A business POEis no different than any other POE. All POEscall for a lot of hard work and dedication.Playing a varsity sport, I think actuallyhelps me do better with my academics. Imanage my time better because I have towork my study schedule around practiceand games. Playing two sports helped memanage my time all year.”Bishop sees the College’s coaches as everhelpfulwhen it comes to academics, “Theacademic department is very understanding thatthe students are here first and foremost for aneducation. They are liberal in their scheduling inorder to meet our strict education demands.”“Professors at Juniata are extremely flexible with schedules andtests when it comes to sports participation,” said Campbell.“As long as a student-athlete informs professors and keeps ontop of their academic workload, it is a relatively easy task tohandle the demands of academics and athletics.”Because their collegiate careers have included a heavyinvolvement in athletics, three of these student-athletes are notready to give that part of their lives up. Preslovich plans to puther sports management degree to work by coaching basketballand softball. Although Dietrich’s feelings about coaching arenot as strong as Preslovich’s, he also would like to coach atsome point. Bishop’s goal is to become a marketing managerfor a professional sports team. Campbell’s aim is to enter theU.S. Marine Corps, attempting to become a helicopter pilot,and eventually, a federal government agent.Josh Chubb, who played football atJuniata for four years, worked as astudent intern in the sportsinformation office during the 2002spring semester. He graduatedwith a communication POE andis from Laurel, Del.Brian Dietrich ’02Rosenberger added, “Juniata possesses a nice balancebetween extracurricular activities and academics.Athletics are an important part of life at Juniata, butacademics are first and foremost.”Fall 2002 | 39

Juniata Magazine“Ron made a strong,personal connectionwith his students,”says James Lakso,Juniata provost.GIFTS@WORKA CHRONICLE OF GIFTS @ WORK FOR JUNIATADr. Ronald L. Cherry ’53Honoring Memories Through anEmotional ConnectionThere are more than a dozen endowed scholarshipfunds named for former Juniata faculty members,many of them started by former students whowanted to honor fond memories of a mentor.One of the most recent named scholarship endowments, theDr. Ronald L. Cherry ’53 Leadership Scholarship, is almost atextbook example of how to organize and execute a memorialscholarship fund-raising effort. The scholarship is named forRon Cherry, former Juniata professor of economics, whopassed away March 19, 2000. About two years later, as of June10, his scholarship fund reached $250,000, funded almostentirely from the gifts of over 220 individual donors. Thescholarship endowment will fund a full-tuition nominatedleadership scholarship every year starting in the 2003–2004academic year.“Ron made a strong, personal connection with his students,”says James Lakso, Juniata provost. “The project went well,but I think we all thought it would be a lot easier than itreally was.”Dr. Laskso credits three other participants with creating thescholarship project: Bill Alexander ’66, vice president forfinance and operations at Juniata, Charles “Bud” Wise, aformer Juniata economics and business administration facultymember and currently vice president of human resources atPPG Industries Inc., and Stephen Gillingham ’66, a financialplanner for Thompson Group in White Plains, N.Y.“There was an emotional connection to this project that madeit important for us to see this done,” says Gillingham.Organizational efforts started almost immediately. The groupfirst met the summer after Ron’s death and sought advice fromthe College’s development staff. According to Ron Wyrick,associate vice president for college advancement, the group42 | Juniata Magazine

had decided on a half-tuition scholarship, which meant theirfund-raising goal was $250,000. “Many times when endowinga project, there is an initial announcement and the fund-raiserswait for the gifts to roll in, but it does not work that way,”Wyrick explains. “The most effective method occurs whenseveral people take a leadership role and emphasize the deeppersonal attachment they feel toward the person thescholarship is named for.”To personalize the effort, the group worked with Marsha FryeHartman, director of The Juniata Fund, and Kim Kitchen,assistant director of planned giving, to identify all Juniatagraduates who had majored in economics and who had takena class from Dr. Cherry. “That was a major job in itself,”Gillingham says. “Dr. Cherry practically pulled informationout of us during case studies,” wrote Karen Beck ’93 aftercontributing to the fund. “He was patient and insistent at thesame time.”Dr. Lakso said each member of the scholarship committeemade dozens of personal phone calls. Taking inspiration fromJuniata’s class fund agent structure, the committee organizedleaders from each graduating class to make phone calls tofellow classmates. Juniata Trustee Robert Wagoner ’53, aclassmate of Dr. Cherry, wrote a letter to the College’s Board ofTrustees and made a personal appeal at a board meeting.Dr. Lakso sent out a massive e-mail message to formerbusiness and economics graduates asking for possibledonations. “I received back very personal notes and lettersremembering Ron,” Dr. Lakso recalls. “Out of the classroomsetting we found a man who enjoyed stories, laughter, andwho offered hospitality without expectation,” wrote RichardStewart ’93.Now that the endowment has reached its goal, Gillinghamdoes not want the effort to rest on its laurels. “Let’s keep goinguntil we reach $500,000,” he says.“I think the success of the project reflects the influence RonCherry had on many people’s lives,” Alexander says. “He gotmore out of people than they knew they had to give.”An Uncommonly Good ReadAlumni libraries should not be without a copy of Uncommon Vision, Uncommon Loyalty,the complete history of Juniata, written by historian and longtime faculty member EarlC. Kaylor Jr., professor emeritus of history.

GIFTS@WORKA CHRONICLE OF GIFTS @ WORK FOR JUNIATAThe Young and the Dedicated: As The Juniata Fund TurnsOne of the truisms of higher education fundraising is thatrecent graduates are unlikely to provide financial support totheir alma mater. The reasons are many: college loans are due;graduates are just entering the workforce earning startingsalaries; or they are still incurring educational expenses forgraduate programs.The irony of that particular truism is that it does not hold trueat Juniata. Many of the more recent graduating classes have aparticipation rate in donating to The Juniata Fund that is equalto or better than many other graduating classes. “These youngclasses are doing a really fantastic job of keeping theirclassmates connected to the College,” says Marsha FryeHartman ’70, director of The Juniata Fund.Joel Pheasant ’99One of the main reasons the College has had such successwith its recent graduating classes is the Graduates of the LastDecade (GOLD) Program, begun several years ago with theintent of keeping Juniata’s most recent graduates moreinvolved with the College through activities, service, andparticipation in The Juniata Fund.Hartman points out that the College’s development staff andalumni relations office have made a concentrated effort toinvolve recent graduates in volunteer efforts, alumni events,affinity groups, College events, and alumni council leadership.“Our graduates are finding more ways to show their support ofthe College even if they’ve recently left Juniata,” she says. “Ithink there’s a direct link between how a student feels abouttheir last year or two at the College and participation in TheJuniata Fund and there are many classes that obviously lovedtheir experience at Juniata.”According to Hartman, the GOLD Founders Club hasencouraged younger alumni to support the College financially.This program asks graduates to make a $5 donation during theyear they graduate, and annual donations that increase by $10for every year after graduation. For example a 2002 graduate isasked to donate $5 in 2002, $10 in 2003, $50 in 2007, and$100 in 2012. “The program works on several levels,” Hartmanexplains. “When an alumni makes a yearly donation, it helps us44 | Juniata Magazine

stay in touch because we note when they move, or if they’vegone to a new job. Also, consistent annual gifts, even insmaller amounts, are indicators that an institution has goodalumni support.”Although each GOLD class fund agent sends out officialfundraising letters each year, many often supplement theirefforts with quirkier appeals. Class fund agent Joel Pheasant’99, director of Web technology at Juniata, finds it easy to usee-mail to send out periodic reminders. “We just redesignedJuniata’s online pledge form to make it easy for graduates todonate, so I include in my e-mails a link directly to the Webpage,” he says.George Maley ’92, who raises funds professionally as directorof major gifts at The Peddie School, a boarding/prep school inPrinceton, N.J., says he concentrates on keeping his messageconsistent while asking classmates to remember the quality oftheir Juniata education. “I bring up that somewhere along theline, a professor, a coach or a dorm leader, who did somethingfor a student that changed their lives,” he says. “Giving to theCollege is one way to offer something back.”Class fund agent Valerie Cole ’00 believes the GOLD program’sstructure – building incrementally from small to larger gifts –is very effective for the College’s young alumni. “I think myclassmates are still surprised and shocked that they are beingasked for such a small amount,” she says. “But as you gothrough the decade it becomes very natural to set aside themoney and increase the gift every year.”Please make a gift to The Juniata Fund by mail, phone1-800-JUNIATA, or online at www.juniata.edu by going tothe gifts@work section.Consider the Benefits of GiftingCash, Securities, Personal PropertyIf you itemize on your federal tax return, there isone deduction that is as dependable as ever – yourcontribution to Juniata College.Your primary reason for a gift may well be your desire tosupport Juniata’s mission. However, such giving also hastangible personal benefits for you. Here is an outline of severalmethods of giving and a description of key features to helpyou decide which is best for you.Cash GiftsYou can deduct a contribution for income tax purposes only inthe year in which you pay it. A pledge or promissory note isnot deductible until it is paid. Your cash gifts are deductibleup to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income for thetaxable year, with a five-year carryover allowance to deductany excess amount.Gifts of SecuritiesWhen you contribute long-term (held more than one year)appreciated securities to Juniata College, you receive a twofoldincome tax benefit: a charitable deduction for the full presentfair market value and no tax on the appreciation. The limit ondeductibility in any tax year is 30 percent of your adjustedgross income, with a five-year carryover of any excess amount.For example, if you own securities worth $1,000 that costonly $250 six years ago and you donate the securities toJuniata, you will save $386 in federal taxes if you are in the38.6% tax bracket. You will also avoid payment of capitalgains tax on the $750 increase in value thereby saving as muchas $150 in the 20% capital gains tax bracket. Your total taxsavings would then be $536, reducing the net cost of your giftby nearly 25% to $464.

Juniata’s assistant directorof planned giving, Kim Kitchen, recently worked on aweighty and unique gift from Joseph and Margaret Forrest ofTrappe, Pennsylvania, in Montgomery County. The Forrestsdonated tons of Pennsylvania sandstone from two historicstructures, Rockhill Furnace and Cromwell Mill.Margaret Forrest came into possession of the property morethan 10 years ago when she and several friends purchasedand subdivided 60-plus acres inthe area. Margaret purchased theland because her husband enjoyshunting and fishing in ruralHuntingdon County.The first connection made betweenthe Forrests and Juniata College wasthrough Paul Heberling, seniorassociate of Heberling Associates, aHuntingdon archeological“It makes me feel reallyproud to know the stonefrom these historicstructures will bepreserved in some wayby Juniata.”consulting firm. Heberling Associates was hired by PennDOTto excavate the site of Rockhill Furnace and Cromwell Millover several years. Both historic structures had to be removedto accommodate a Pennsylvania Department of Transportationroad-widening project.The Forrests had received numerous offers from people wantingto purchase the stone. Heberling had mentioned to them thepossibility of Juniata’s interest in the sandstone. After furtherdiscussions with members of the College, Joseph and Margaretdecided instead to donate the stone to Juniata so it would bepreserved and appreciated by all who visit the campus.“Using stone from these key historic structures can symbolicallytie Juniata College to the historical legacy of the Juniata Valley,”says Thomas. Kepple, president of Juniata College.46 | Juniata Magazine
