2013 Report - Kingsborough Community College
KINGSBOROUGH COMM U N IT Y COLLEGE A Letter From the President Almost everyone knows Coney Island’s Cyclone rollercoaster. Riding the Cyclone combines the exhilaration of climbing to great heights with the scream-inducing fear of descending into deep valleys. This past year at Kingsborough was a lot like riding the Cyclone. We experienced both joyous highs and traumatic lows. In October, Superstorm Sandy ravaged our campus causing millions of dollars of damage. Remarkably, through the efforts of our entire college community, we were back in operation in only eight days. Resilience is often thought of in only physical terms; but our recovery from Sandy demonstrated a resilience of the human spirit. We showed that, even after experiencing grave challenges, by working together we could give our students the opportunity to get both their educational lives and their personal lives back in order. Then came the spring! And spring lifted our spirits high with the announcement that we had been named a “finalist with distinction” by the Aspen Institute’s Community College Excellence Program. That designation meant that Kingsborough, after rigorous evaluations, was considered to be among the top four community colleges in the nation. You will read much more about the year in this annual report. But an annual report can be much more than a mere chronicle of the past year. It can be a signpost to the future. As we look forward to celebrating Kingsborough’s 50th anniversary next year, we are now a college in transition. After nine years of leading our college to great achievements, Dr. Regina Peruggi retired from the presidency. She showed us all that leadership does make a difference. Though she will be missed, her work here will be a lasting legacy. During our college’s transition, I am proud to be serving as interim president. We will certainly be changing as an institution. I am confident, however, about change that is built upon our past strengths and our sense of community. That kind of change will lead our college to an even more promising future. Dr. Stuart Suss Interim President An Epic Journey W O U R MOM E NT I N TH E S U N e like to think that every year at Kingsborough is remarkable. But we are still trying to get our heads around this one: In an emotion-charged 12 months, Kingsborough survived a hurricane that devastated the region; was named one of the Top Four community colleges in America by the prestigious Aspen Institute; and said goodbye to a president who radically altered our philosophy of serving students. Superstorm Sandy gave us no choice. But we sure fought back. After she uprooted trees, flooded classrooms and disrupted the lives of 2,500 Kingsborough students, we cleaned up our campus, threw open our doors, and connected our college family and community members with the help they needed to restart their lives. And the sun came out again, just like it always does. Unlike Sandy, the Aspen Institute gave us a little warning. After making the list of the nation’s top 120 community colleges, we were invited to apply for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. In the report that won us a spot in the top 10, we described in detail our arduous, intentional, decade-long campaign to integrate the college’s academic and social services. Our only goal, then and now, was to make our students more successful. Though we didn’t know it at the time, our Aspen bid — which resulted in a $100,000 cash prize and the Top Four ranking — would serve as a valedictory for President Regina Peruggi, who retired in 2013 after nine years of service. Peruggi’s work is a virtual mirror image of our epic journey to the Aspen Prize. Arriving with a mandate to increase retention, graduation and transfer rates, she introduced an era of self-examination, experimentation and collaboration to the college. Her legacy is the network of programs that captivated the Aspen Institute: Learning Communities; Faculty Innovation Awards; Faculty Interest Groups; Single Stop. But more than that, it’s the attitude adjustment she brought to the way we connect with students. If they succeed, we succeed. “Kingsborough earned this finalist-withdistinction recognition because it does an exceptional job with a highly diverse student body,” said Josh Wyner, executive director of the College Excellence Program, in announcing the award. “Half of its students are minority students. Over 60 percent of its students are receiving Pell Grants, meaning that they are lowincome students. And yet the college is exceeding national averages in graduation rates. They’ve got nearly double the national average in terms of transfers to four-year colleges. And it’s done this in really intentional ways. Kingsborough builds a community that holds standards high.” As the college gets ready to observe its 50th anniversary, we have much to celebrate. We’ve been tested by natural disasters, transformed by great leaders, and redeemed by the excellence of our faculty and students. We are resilient. We are renewed. And we are ready. KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2013 3 SECOND LADY OF THE UNITED STATES, DR. JILL BIDEN, AND DR. REGINA S. PERUGGI The Aspen Prize for Community College (AK A : TH E DAY THAT TIM E STOO D STI LL AT K I N GSBO RO UG H) Y ou know how newsrooms go silent when the Pulitzers are announced? Or how the whole world stops when the Olympics name a new host city? March 19, 2013, was like that at Kingsborough. You could almost hear a pin drop as college administrators huddled around their computer screens, waiting for The Aspen Institute to announce its prestigious Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. This moment had been a long time coming. In the run-up to the first Aspen Prize, in 2011, Kingsborough made the list of the nation’s top 120 community colleges. This time, we reached the Top 10. Could we go all the way to the top? TH E A SP E N P R I ZE FOR COMMUNIT Y COLLEG E Josh Wyner, executive director of the Washingtonbased policy institute’s College Excellence Program, appeared on live video-stream. We held our breaths. “The Aspen Institute is delighted to announce today that Kingsborough Community College in New York City has been named one of the top four finishers in this year’s Aspen Prize,” he said. Hooray! Finally the world knew what we’ve been preaching all along. In placing Kingsborough among the four best of the nation’s more than 1,200 community colleges, the Aspen Institute said it was wildly impressed by the college’s completion rate, its spirit of inclusiveness and commitment to students with high needs, and the way graduates’ salaries compare to the rest of the region. It lauded Kingsborough’s willingness to experiment — to do whatever it takes to keep students on track. Over a decade, we virtually pushed the reset button on our college process, electrifying the connection between institution and students like never before. We tweaked every piece of the puzzle (academic, administrative, student-support) to make it more polished — more welcoming and accommodating — to our students. “It lauded Kingsborough’s willingness to experiment — to do whatever it takes to keep students on track.” We upped the number of Learning Communities to 50. We welcomed Single Stop, a program that acts as a virtual student response unit, putting benefits screening, legal aid, financial counseling and tax prep into a single office. We retooled the advisement process so that it starts at the earliest point of contact. We strengthened our follow-up methods. We rewarded faculty risk-takers. This, as the Aspen Institute noted, is the new “business as usual” at Kingsborough. It’s building a community of listeners and problem-solvers who can humanize the academic experience. It’s saying to students, “Hey, we’ve got your back.” It’s working. And The Aspen Institute gets it. As a very proud President Peruggi said, not long after that perfect March day when time stood still for a moment: “Students are coming here, they are staying and they are graduating.” A MAKESHIFT FOOD AND CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION CENTER WAS CREATED SU PER STOR M SA N DY WAVE O F G E N E ROS IT Y CO U NTE R S STO R M ’S DE VA STATI O N L ocated on a peninsula, Kingsborough enjoys a magnificent setting — a feature that unfortunately makes it especially vulnerable to bad weather. So when Superstorm Sandy arrived in late October 2012, the college braced for — and took — a lashing. Then generosity rushed in. “We had flooded classrooms, debris washing up from everywhere – even decks from people’s houses in Breezy Point,” President Peruggi said at the time. But with its typically unsinkable attitude, Kingsborough quickly put itself back together, thanks to a hard-working Buildings and Grounds team, and turned to helping others. Within a week, the staff returned to work. Students soon followed — many with heartbreaking stories. Kingsborough administrators reported that more than 2,500 students were directly affected by the disaster. The college and the community responded to the devastation with open wallets, resourceful solutions — or sometimes just a hot meal. Professors turned to technology (Skype, PowerPoint, texting) to teach class and hold virtual office hours. Hotlines were set up (one for faculty and one for students) to connect people with appropriate government agencies and other relief efforts. KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2013 7 DAMAGE FROM SUPERSTORM SANDY FORCED THE CAMPUS TO CLOSE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. “Sometimes, even the smallest gestures seemed like tiny miracles, and brought glimmers of hope.” And Kingsborough threw open it doors to the community: Local residents were invited to come in, get something to eat, stay warm, take a shower, recharge their computers and cell phones, and fi nd out how they could get additional help. A makeshift food and clothing distribution center was created; stocked with donations from Food Bank NYC, National Grid, Walmart and Benjamin Moore; and manned day and night by volunteers. Ultimately, it reached more than 7,000 people. Grants poured in from Single Stop USA, the Robin Hood Foundation, and the Petrie Foundation. Our own Sandy Relief Fund distributed $3,400 in MetroCards to needy students, plus another $34,000 to hard-hit faculty and staff. When it came time for the annual Walk-A-Thon, the college family laced up its sneakers and marched across campus, to the tune of $22,000. In the end, the college raised more than $200,000 in Sandy relief monies. THE ANNUAL WALK-A-THON RAISED MONEY FOR THE SANDY RELIEF FUND. 8KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Sometimes, even the smallest gestures seemed like tiny miracles, and brought glimmers of hope. At the clothing-distribution center, one shell-shocked student found a coat that fit, but after noticing it had a price tag, she put it back. When an attendant kindly told her it was free, the woman fell to her knees, sobbing. It was the fi rst piece of warm clothing she’d had in a week. Regina Peruggi AN A+ LEGAC Y I n her nine years as president of Kingsborough (2004-2013), Regina Peruggi didn’t just transform the culture of the college. She rewired the synapses of its brain. When the former president of Central Park Conservancy and Marymount Manhattan College arrived at Kingsborough, it was just another community college — good but not great. By the time she left, it was a nationally celebrated model of excellence. Sure, Peruggi was a champion of academic rigor, a dynamic fund-raiser, an innovative leader. But her enduring legacy will be the integrated support system she created for the college’s largely lowincome and minority student base. Realizing that students would never graduate if they couldn’t afford transportation, if they came to class hungry, if they couldn’t speak English, if they had to leave their kids alone, she institutionalized a community of care. (Among her innumerable accomplishments in the social-services realm: She launched the nation’s first Single Stop office at a community college and opened a campus Food Pantry.) And for every nuts-and-bolts improvement she brought — from buses to computerized registration — she profoundly altered the status quo. She encouraged collaboration (Faculty Innovation Awards). She experimented boldly (Learning Communities). She even tried to set students up for success before they left high school (President’s Prep). WITH THE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION DAY COMMITTEE “Of all the important contributions she made, the one that has benefitted us most is creating the environment where we feel comfortable taking risks,” says David Gomez, Kingsborough’s Vice President for Academic Administration. Driving around campus on her red golf cart, no project was too big or too small for Peruggi. Here was a president who triumphed over challenges, refused to be intimidated and exceeded all expectations. 10KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2013 WITH DR.

The two-year curriculum — approved by the New York State Department of Health’s Bureau of Emergency Medical Services — includes hands-on experience at area hospitals and trauma centers. At the college, students use a state-of-the-art simulation center with high-fidelity training manikins and a fully equipped ambulance, thus gaining the expertise to give the highest level of pre-hospital care. The Child Development Center celebrated its 40th anniversary with a ribbon cutting for a new playground and a party for past and present teachers, caretakers, and KCC student-parent alumni (some of whom brought their grown-up children). The center traces its roots to 1970, when a small group of studentparents formed the Day Care Collective, which campaigned for affordable childcare. Kingsborough’s president, Leon M. Goldstein, was so impressed with the collective’s detailed research that he procured a space and hired the center’s first director and teachers, in 1972. The center currently provides on-campus care for children between the ages of 18 months and 9 years, offering flexible hours to meet the needs of students. The American Heart Association (AHA) recognized the college as an official training site. Through our Continuing Education program, AHA-approved instructors teach life-saving courses such as first aid, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use an automatic external defibrillator (AED). Gov. Andrew Cuomo recounted his State-of-theState and Budget message to a standing-room-only audience on Feb. 13, 2013. President Regina Peruggi and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz greeted the governor, and Dimitri Foster, an Honors student majoring in engineering, introduced him. The first KCC Reads Student Conference — featuring student-led panels, performances, and artwork based on this year’s common reading choice, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks — took place on April 29, 2013. The daylong event culminated in a keynote lecture by Dr. Christoph Lengauer, a researcher featured in the book, who spoke on “The Impact of Doing Better: An Interplay of Science and Empathy.” 12KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE | ANNUAL REPORT 2013 After a six-month restoration to the tune of $500,000, the college radio station, WKRB 90.3FM, re-opened with a Homecoming ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 14, 2012. The makeover was conceived by Robert Herklotz, WKRB manager and Kingsborough alum (’95), and Dr. Cliff Hesse, professor and director of Media Technology & Management. Designed by KCC architect Marin Stancu, the newly configured space emulates a commercial radio station and includes a 20-seat “smart” classroom where media-technology courses will now be taught. The station also features two state-of-the art studios for production and on-air broadcasting, with digital equipment that rivals that of any major-market radio station in the country. Another bonus: The new Pro Tools audio-production suite allows students to work on a variety of audio productions, including music, public-service announcements, and station IDs. The college hosted several speakers of note this year: Martha J. Kanter, Under Secretary of Education, delivered the keynote at Spring Convocation; Fabien Cousteau, grandson of famed undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau and star of PBS’s acclaimed Ocean Adventures, delivered EcoFestival’s keynote speech; and Elizabeth Yeampierre, a nationally recognized environmental justice leader and the first Latina to chair the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Environmental Justice Advisory Council, gave the Commencement address. On Sept. 12, 2012, less than two months before Superstorm Sandy, Kingsborough was the setting for “Brooklyn Under Water: Confronting a Landscape of Risk,” an interdisciplinary conversation about the future of Brooklyn’s waterfronts in the age of climate change and rising sea levels. Co-organized with the Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center at New York City College of Technology, the event featured speakers from a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, history, city planning, biology, and geophysics. At the same time, the KCC Art Gallery displayed a visual arts exhibit, “Brooklyn’s Waterfronts: Past, Present, Future,” showcasing work that contemplated the future of our local shores. Head Coach Paul Watson was named Community College Volleyball Coach of the Year by the CUNY Athletic Conference. A Brooklyn native and alumnus of Kingsborough and Brooklyn College, Watson has been involved in KCC Athletics for more than a decade.

Coming here meant starting over — and learning a new language. Safarova attended ESL classes starting in 2005 and enrolled at Kingsborough in 2011. This year, the physical education major earned the coveted 2013 CUNYAC Schtolar-Athlete of the Year. She graduated with a GPA of 3.96; and according to Head Coach Paul Watson, her volleyball team had the best season in the history of the sport at KCC. The team won a CUNY Championship and went to state semi-finals. “In order to be a volleyball player, travel with the team, be here for practice, raise her family, and do so well in school,” Watson said, “I think it’s a phenomenal thing.” Amin Garcia, a freshman criminal justice major, won gold medals in the men’s 110-meter hurdle at both the CUNYAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships and the NJCAA National Tournament – while maintaining a 3.60 GPA. Garcia also figured among the Wave’s top performers in men’s triple jump (CUNYAC Silver Medalist), shot put (CUNYAC Gold Medalist), and 400-meter hurdle (CUNYAC Community College 1st place). The Brooklyn native was awarded CUNYAC All-Star in men’s cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor track.
