My Mail service-Grad Journey:
Following graduation, with my Psychology caste and all I learned from two mentors at Fairfield (Dr. Ron Salafia and Dr. Alex Tolor), my married woman (Linda) and I headed to the Academy of Delaware to begin my doctoral studies in psychology. My strong research background (especially my piece of work as a research assistant to Alex) served me well. I completed the requirements (including my clinical psychology internship at the Devereux Foundation) in 4 years. In 1973, we moved to New York for my position as Assistant Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York - Plattsburgh. The combination of research and clinical grooming allowed me to go beyond educational activity throughout my 45 years at Plattsburgh. I published over 100 professional articles and 16 books, and received the State University of New York Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship in 2006. I retired as Professor Emeritus of Psychology in 2018. Linda and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in September, 2018, with our ii sons and their families (including 3 grandchildren). Nosotros relish living in a small, college boondocks on Lake Champlain, shut to Canada and Vermont.

My Post-Grad Journey:
Shortly after graduation, I began a two year delivery every bit a Peace Corps Volunteer in Turkey and Ghana. I taught English as a Second Language in both countries--at the high school level in Turkey and the teacher college level in Republic of ghana. This experience exposed me to new cultures, languages, religions, politics, and poverty. I credit the Peace Corps with broadening my perspective near so many things--how I wanted to live my life, what I valued, how I viewed the world--ideas I started thinking about at Fairfield. It as well confirmed my interest in education as a career when I returned to the The states, and fueled a lifelong passion for world travel.

I began my career in Camden, NJ, in 1971 first as a teacher, and so advisor, and finally federal program administrator. In 1976 I joined the New Jersey State Section of Education where I spent the bulk of my career--33 years--in a number of primal positions. During that time I worked for half-dozen Governors on a variety of education initiatives, and was the director of a number of offices that focused on curricular problems, urban education, and secondary pedagogy. I ended my career at the section every bit an assistant commissioner for the Division of Educational Standards and Programs. In this position, I was responsible for the evolution and implementation of the Common Core Standards, the statewide assessment arrangement, a new loftier school transformation initiative, instructor and ambassador licensing, and career and technical didactics.

In 2009 I retired from the state and went to the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association where I became the CEO of the Foundation for Educational Assistants. Here was an opportunity to support the land'south schoolhouse and district leaders and to assist putting policy into practice based on many years of state experience. I retired subsequently ix years in July 2018.

As an educator, I strongly believe in lifelong learning and to that stop I earned a master's degree in 1974 in counseling psychology from the Higher of New Bailiwick of jersey, and a doctoral degree in educational administration from Rutgers University in 2004.

I have a lot of interests, merely two areas predominate. During the 1980s and 1990s I sang regularly with the Trenton Civic Opera and the Princeton Opera, two local theater groups. I performed over 25 leading roles and the experience taught me much most how to work with others and how to perform in any situation. Since the 1980s, I accept also spent a peachy deal of time traveling. I take taken two effectually the globe trips covering 18 countries, and travel regularly each year visiting incredible places on nearly all of the continents. All of these adventures have been with my partner and all-time friend. Nosotros met in mid-life, are married, and live in Doylestown, PA.

What is your favorite Fairfield University memory?
My time as editor-in-chief of The Stag, the student newspaper, provides a lot of memories. The end of the sixties was a tumultuous fourth dimension in the United states and all of the critical events impacted our campus. In improver to our interest in the Vietnam War, the Ceremonious Rights Movement, and other national issues, Fairfield was also grappling with coeducation, an ambitious building program, and student rights. My all-time times were sitting with the Editorial Board discussing our reaction to these events and reaching consensus on a position. This often occurred at the Howard Johnson'south eating place in Fairfield on all-you-can-swallow fried chicken night. The ability to think critically, to argue a position, and to write clearly were skills I learned at Fairfield and used my entire life.

There are a number of themes that encapsulate my memories of how my experiences and learning at Fairfield shaped my life since graduation. Using those themes, I will endeavour to talk about my life.

Lifetime Learning
When nosotros graduated, I was thinking about graduate schoolhouse or law. The Viet Nam conflict, and my desire to start a life with Bethany, sent me in another management. After a few weeks at Southern Connecticut Land, I became a 5th form teacher in rural Upstate New York, Copenhagen Central School. I presently moved upwards to be the junior high English Department (a department of one). I had to figure out curriculum, internal policy, a different life style, and really cold, long winters. I took graduate courses at SUNY Oswego and St. Lawrence University. I as well learned, in no item lodge, how to be a JV wrestling charabanc, manager of student plays, scoutmaster, president of the faculty union, and chair of my parish fund raiser. After four years, I realized that all in all pedagogy was not my future, information technology was either teach or seek a new career in assistants. I applied to and was accepted at Fordham University Schoolhouse of Police force. This was a move to NYC and a realization after one year that I needed to earn money while going to Fordham full time. Beth was doing her all-time as a teacher in a Catholic schoolhouse in East Harlem. I saw a flyer that Shearson Hayden Stone's legal section was looking for a law student to work on some mysterious area called Rule 144 sales. General Counsel Phil Hoblin- a three F human being (Fordham Prep, College, Law) was willing to take a chance on a semi-ii F man (Fairfield and Fordham.)

I was before long learning nigh securities regulation, litigation, corporate governance, brokerage operations, even how to transport internal wires- Figs-H-Ltr. I learned how to be second chair in arbitration, write an answer, and lug the boxes of documents to a hearing.

From Shearson to EF Hutton, the New York Stock Exchange, a start up broker as its general counsel, LF Rothschild, and finally Pershing Division of Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette. I learned more regulation, handling litigation, negotiating skills. At Pershing, I connected to larn as a manager, senior officer, member of risk management groups, speaker at seminars, and international law as we expanded to London and Japan.

I was asked to serve on Fairfield's Board of Trustees by Begetter Al Kelly, SJ and that was a corking learning feel equally well. The internal workings of a swell university and the opportunity to acquire from highly accomplished fellow alumni-trustees and Jesuit members of the board was and is a highlight of my life.

Today, I keep to larn as an adept witness and consultant. In my electric current service on my Town'south Planning Lath, I continue to learn most land apply law and public feelings near this highly charged area.

What nosotros all learned at Fairfield —deep swoop learning, reflection, and the connectedness of everything 1 learns— served me well and made that possible.

Strong Sense of Morals and Ideals
Learning to exercise and stand up for what is right is a life time project. For me, information technology started with parents who demonstrated high standards and demanded information technology of the children, was inculcated at St John Nepomucene in Bridgeport, continued with the fathers at Notre Dame High, and was rigorously taught at Fairfield. Obviously, in the financial services industry at that place are many opportunities to consider and decide what is the right course. I am proud to report that on retirement I was cited for being a steady hand for correct as Pershing'due south General Counsel.

Clear Thinking and Clear Writing
Ane matter stands clear from our days at Fairfield, nosotros were made clear thinkers and clear writers. It may accept been Walter Petry asking over and over what exactly did Jefferson say or on Joe Grassi asking to explain Plato, or parsing a verse form in a literature class, or writing a paper in Music Appreciation, but it was e'er there. These habits of clear thinking, articulation, and articulate writing proceed and grade a basis of success. I call back of smart associates at Pershing request me to edit their annual self-assessment, of drafting and redrafting answers in litigation and business reports, and existence the go-to person whenever articulate writing is needed.

Leadership
Habits of leadership by having articulated goals, expressing them well, and self assurance were all function of the experience at Fairfield. For me, it was participation in Student Authorities and membership in Phi Kappa Theta, Fairfield's experiment with fraternities. Whatsoever leadership means, it began at Fairfield and continued as President of a teachers' union, corporate general counsel and senior officer, chair of securities manufacture committees, trustee, planning board chair and Grand Knight in my local K of C.

At Fairfield I enjoyed living at the beach senior year, going to basketball game games and existence with the keen people who were my classmates. My favorite courses were Robert Emerich's Drama and Shakespeare, Dr. Joan Walters' banking courses and Dr. Edward Dew'south South and Key America political science. Although at the time I didn't appreciate why nosotros had to have then many required credits in Theology and Philosophy I eventually came to see the benefits of disciplined thinking. I am thankful for the values I learned from my parents and reinforced and refined by the Jesuits; during my career those values helped me to maintain an attitude of empathy and resolution rather than mindless confrontation and endless boxing.

First game my freshmen year was at the former New Oasis Arena against the then pre-season ranked #1 team in the state, St Joseph'southward. I will always retrieve when the Stags came onto the floor for pre-game warm ups. Toilet paper flying everywhere, the full house of thousands screaming and chanting Fairfield at the top of their lungs. I was but blow away. Then 6 Stags dunked the brawl in a row during warm ups. Likewise everything I had loved about my beginning three months at Fairfield, that moment was one of such pride, awe, daze, and bewilderment. I thought I knew school spirit, only what I was experiencing was beyond comprehension.

What is your favorite Fairfield Academy retentiveness?
Besides the fun at Ship Ahoy and parties on Embankment Road, what I recollect almost is learning to appreciate the value of lifelong learning. Inbound Fairfield, I believed the benefit of education was securing a job and pursuing a career. Over the next 4 years, I came to appreciate the value of continually learning new things, seeing other perspectives, and agreement there is e'er something more to explore. One specific result was the tipping bespeak. In my inferior year, Dr. Rossi, the biology professor who was facilitating special seminar, talked about what he did to stay current in his field, keep learning, and remain informed about globe events. Every 24-hour interval he got up at 5 am, he told united states of america, read newspapers, journals, and a multifariousness of books. I was amazed; he was already successful, had a expert task, yet he did this and enjoyed it! Looking back today, my reaction seems funny, simply since then, I have valued ongoing learning, and this has enriched my life for the past l years. The only regret I have is that I never said, "Give thanks you, Dr. Rossi."

We continue to remember in a special way the members of our grade who have gone before us...

Eternal balance grant to them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May these and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God remainder in peace.
