2012 Charitable Giving Report

Southern ConnectionsSaluting the Past. Supporting the Future.

Dear Friends,Welcome to the 2012 SCSU Foundation Annual Report. As

I noted in a letter to donors that accompanied their 2012

endowment reports, the past year was marked by both change

AND continuity, much of which has been very positive for the

Foundation and its work on behalf of the university.

The most significant change was last spring’s appointment

of Dr. Mary Papazian to the presidency. The galvanizing effects

of having a dynamic leader chart a progressive course for

Southern have been felt in all areas of campus life, including

philanthropy, with the Foundation’s overall support to the

university rising to $1.2 million, the strongest showing since

2009. Scholarship support accounted for $463,000 of that total,

more than twice the 2011 level. Similarly, program support

increased to $754,000 — $223,000 more than the previous

year, a 42 percent increase. These are very promising trends

that bode well as we resume laying the groundwork for an

eventual endowment campaign.

With the theme of continuity in mind, the stories

highlighted in this report illustrate how beneficial continuous

ties are to our graduates, the university, and current and future

generations of Southern students. The three featured alumni

have established relationships with their alma mater that

extend over many decades and have been formalized through

the establishment of endowed funds to support Southern

students. Carl Paight, ’50, earned his bachelor’s degree in

physical education and was a captain and offensive lineman for

the Owls. Nancy Palmieri, ’68, M.S. ’75, achieved her lifelong

dream of becoming a teacher after earning her degrees in

education at Southern. And Mike Katz, ’66, 6th Yr. ’76, credits

the sixth-year certificate in supervision and administration

that he earned at Southern for his success in the business

world. These are inspiring stories of achievement, connection,

and continuity that we hope you will enjoy.

However, not all continuity is positive. A report issued in

March by the nonprofit State Higher Education Executive

Officers Association describes a “new normal” — the result of

several continuing trends: dramatically decreasing state

support for higher education — yielding ever-higher tuitions

— and declining family incomes. Together, these trends are

driving student borrowing to unprecedented levels. According

to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, student loan debt has

risen from less than $400 billion in 2004 to almost $1 trillion

today, and counting. In Connecticut, education statistics

mirror these findings — and 77 percent of Southern students

now receive some form of financial aid to meet tuition and

other education-related expenses. For all of these reasons,

individual philanthropy has become critical to ensuring

ongoing accessibility to higher education — a key component

of Southern Connecticut State University’s mission.

Therefore, on behalf of my Foundation board colleagues,

please accept our sincere thanks for your continuing

generosity.

Robin M. SauerteigChair, SCSU Foundation

Very truly yours,

Fundraising and Financial Highlights

U.S. economic growth pulled back in thesecond quarter of 2012 as consumer spendingslowed. However, the U.S. jobs market reportwas better than expected, and by July thefinancial markets rallied. At the close of the Foundation’s fiscal year on June 30,fundraising results significantly exceeded our estimates, ending at $1.52 million. The Foundation’s net assets remained in line with the prior year at over $17 million,as did the market value of the endowments,which totaled $13.7 million.

Looking Ahead

The forecasts for 2013, including the S&P 500 and emerging markets, are generallyoptimistic. Prospects of another recessionseem slim as the U.S. economy continues to expand, albeit at a moderate pace. Globaleconomic data points toward modestcontinued growth in the world economy.

Timothy Hopper, chief economist, TIAA-CREF, New York, states he is “. . . positive oncorporate earnings in 2013 and we think theeffect of growth at the consumer level . . . will provide that fundamental underpinningfor earnings growth . . . and for stock priceappreciation.” The biggest risks facinginvestors appears to be from the “Europeansovereign debt crisis . . .”

As always, the Foundation’s objectives are to increase the resources available forscholarships and programmatic initiatives. The combination of investment portfolioearnings in a generally positive economicenvironment and Southern constituents’generous gifts should provide strong support for the university in 2013.

LifeCoach

An inspirational family man and coach is memorialized through a scholarship that supports student-athletes.

By Natalie Missakian

Spring 2013 | 41

ndy Paight was 6 years old the first timeshe saw her father’s coaching skills inaction. Bundled up in snowsuits, gloves,and hats, Andy and her siblings weretrying to learn how to ice skate for the

first time when their father set a folding chair down onthe frozen pond.

“My Dad taught us to push the chair around on theice, and when you were tired, sit,” she recalls. Andy says itis a perfect example of the coaching style Carl W. Paight,’50, brought to the football field during his long career as ahigh school coach.

“This was my Dad’s teaching and coaching philosophythroughout his career — always finding a way to makekids more successful regardless of their natural abilities,”she says.

Paight, a former captain and offensive lineman for thefighting Owls under head coach Jess Dow, is theinspiration behind the Carl W. Paight Endowed AthleticFund for Men & Women at Southern. Each recipient mustbe a full-time undergraduate and a member of an NCAA-sanctioned team.

Paight’s wife of 58 years, Audrey, established thescholarship to honor Carl last summer and presented it tohim on Father’s Day, while he was surrounded by hischildren, grandchildren, and great-grandson. Paight passedaway in September in Palm Harbor, Fla. Originally fromStamford, Conn., he had retired in Crystal Beach, Fla.

“He was a consummate educator,” recalls Paight’s son,Joseph. “He was a very dedicated dad and a very dedicatedcoach. And he really enjoyed every aspect of athletics.”

As part of the scholarship, the family encourages pastrecipients who are established in their careers tocontribute to the fund to support future Southern athletes.

While at Southern, Paight earned his bachelor’s inphysical education from the School of Education, andapplied his love of learning to his teaching career. Beforecollege, he served in the Coast Guard during World War II.

He began his four-decade coaching career at MasukHigh School in Monroe, Conn., and went on to teach atNorwalk High School in Norwalk, Conn. In addition, hecoached football at Western Connecticut State College,Fordham University, and Weston High School in hishometown of Weston, Conn., where he also served asrecreational director. He also coached girls’ track atNorwalk High.

Bob Jones of Westport, Conn., who was captain of theNorwalk High School football team in 1968, remembersPaight as an old-school coach who would push players totheir limits to teach them how much they couldaccomplish.

“We all loved him because we knew that he was tryingto toughen us up to play better football,” says Jones. “Hereally cared about his players.”

Paight would close every end-of-game speech with thesame words: “He would always say, ‘God bless you. I loveyou,’ ” Jones remembers. “It would give you chills.”

Jones says Paight also spent lots of time lobbyingvarious colleges and universities on behalf of his players,helping them to get their foot in the door forconsideration for athletics scholarships. He said many ofPaight’s former players went on to have great success intheir careers and lives.

“I would say that the work ethic that he had and heinstilled in us was critical to a lot of our success,” Jonessays. “He did work very long hours as a coach and thatinspired us to work year-round to be better players.”

If Paight’s players felt devoted to their coach, thefeeling was mutual, say his children. They remember theirfather spending hours at the kitchen table reviewingfootball games and scouting tapes on 8mm film. “Hewould take notes, draw up new schemes and plays. Alllooked like hieroglyphs to us,” says Andy.

His youngest son, David, recalls one Halloween whenhis father’s team members covered their front porch withhundreds of pumpkins. “That made him laugh,” Andyremembers.

His children also describe their father as a history buff,master of trivia, and a prolific reader who could oftenrecite poetry by heart. He also loved the ocean and passedhis love on to his children by teaching them to swim andsail a sunfish sailboat around Long Island Sound.

Paight always held his children to the same highstandards as his athletes, but if they ever disappointedhim, he never let it show, they say. “Dad taught us all notto be quitters,” says his daughter, Mindy. “Once you startsomething, you follow through with it, which meant a lotto me through the years.”

A “He was a very dedicated dad

and a very dedicated coach.

And he really enjoyed every

aspect of athletics.”

A Gift for TeachingSisters celebrate their mother’s passion for teaching by establishing a memorial scholarship that supports tomorrow’s educators. By Natalie Missakian

aura Palmieri remembers hearing abouther mother’s first day of work at her veryfirst teaching job. The way the story goes,she went home that afternoon andexcitedly told her mother: “I can’t believe

they pay me to do this!” “That was my mother’s lifelong dream — to be a

teacher,” Laura says. “She absolutely loved it.”So when Laura and her sister, Donna, established the

Nancy B. Palmieri Memorial Scholarship in their latemother’s memory, there was no doubt in their mindsabout which students they wanted to help the most.

The scholarship is awarded annually to a Southernstudent studying to become a teacher, a nod to theirmother’s beloved profession and her alma mater, whichprepares the largest number of teacher educationgraduates in Connecticut.

“I know she enjoyed her experience at Southern verymuch,” Donna Palmieri, ’92, says of her mother. “I knowshe met a lot of lifelong friends, and I know she felt shegot a great education to prepare her for teaching.”

It was Nancy Palmieri, ’68, M.S. ’75, who firstdreamed up the idea for the scholarship after she andDonna went to visit an elderly cousin. The cousin had toldthem about a scholarship she started in memory of herdeceased son.

On the drive home, Nancy confided to Donna that shewanted to endow a scholarship of her own at Southernsomeday, saying how wonderful it would be to helpstudents with their tuition while paying tribute to a lovedone.

“I thought it was a wonderful idea, since we had bothbeen supporters of SCSU since we graduated,” Donnarecalls.

But Nancy would not live long enough to see her wishcome to fruition. Two years after that trip, she diedunexpectedly at age 59 of complications from kneesurgery. So Donna approached her sister, and togetherthey decided to honor their mother’s memory by carryingout her plan themselves.

“My mom loved Southern. She was such an avidsupporter,” Donna says. “This was something she wantedto do and never had the opportunity.”

Nancy enrolled at Southern after graduating fromSacred Heart Academy in Hamden. She earned herbachelor’s and master’s degrees in early childhoodeducation and started her career teaching pre-K andkindergarten in East Haven, Conn.

After taking a break from the classroom to raise herfamily, she found it difficult to re-enter the teaching field.

So she took a job at Southern New England Telephone,where she worked for 16 years before retiring in 2000.

But she never forgot her first love. When she learnedabout a job teaching pre-K at New Haven’s JackieRobinson School, located next to Southern, Nancy cameout of retirement and reached for the opportunity. “It waslike she never left,” recalls Laura. “She just fell right backinto it. She loved all the children like they were her own.”

Nancy also took pride in her Italian heritage, Donnasays, and served as a board member for the ItalianAmerican Historical Society of Connecticut and was amember of POINT (Pursuing Our Italian Names Together).She traveled to Italy to study her family’s ancestry.

Donna says both of her parents were supportive ofhigher education and passed on those values to theirchildren. While at Southern, Donna also benefited froman Alumni Association scholarship, which helped withtuition costs, so she feels good about providing the sameopportunity to other students.

She says it has been incredibly rewarding to meet thescholarship recipients each year at the scholarship banquetand learn more about who they are, while sharingmemories of her mother with them.

She adds that she is fortunate to work for an employerthat matches her contributions to the scholarship, so everyyear during Southern’s Annual Giving Campaign, sheearmarks her donation to fund the Nancy B. PalmieriMemorial Scholarship.

“I would encourage anyone who supports highereducation to consider endowing a scholarship atSouthern,” Donna says. “It’s a wonderful way to helpstudents achieve their education goals and to go on to dogreat things in their communities.”

StrongManHaving made his mark as aninternationally recognized bodybuilder,professional football player, dedicatededucator, and highly successfulbusinessman, Mike Katz, ’66, 6th Yr. ’76,establishes a scholarship to help otherssucceed.

By Natalie Missakian

Spring 2013 | 45

ike Katz,’66, 6th Yr. ’76, achieved fameas a bodybuilder and former Mr.America who costarred with ArnoldSchwarzenegger in the 1977documentary “Pumping Iron.” He also

played football with the New York Jets and spent threedecades as a teacher, a job he describes as his “calling from God.”

But it was his foray into the world of business — as owner of five Planet Fitness gyms in the New Havenregion — that gave him the financial wherewithal toestablish a scholarship at Southern, Katz says. And hecredits Southern for equipping him with the business sensehe needed to become so successful.

Ironically, the degree that prepared him for thebusiness world had nothing to do with business. It was a sixth-year certificate in supervision and administration of schools, which he pursued with the thought of movinginto a principal’s job. That never happened (by his choice — Katz realized he would miss the kids too much),but the degree did not go to waste.

“It was sort of like an MBA for me,” Katz says. Hecredits the program with teaching him how to run aschool, which he says is much like running a business. “I took that information and used those skills to try to be more successful in the business field.”

Katz established the Mike Katz Endowed FootballScholarship at Southern in 2004 to assist student-athleteson the varsity football team, where Katz honed his ownathletics skills as a fullback under the late head coach Jess Dow.

At the time, he says, coaches didn’t understand weightlifting and discouraged it, fearing the extra bulk wouldslow athletes down. Katz proved it wouldn’t. He was one ofthe team’s fastest players, even though he was so muscularhe needed custom-made shoulder pads.

“And when I went to the Jets, Southern let me borrowmy shoulder pads from college because they didn’t have bigenough pads for me,” he says.

He says he turned to weight training as a preteen tocope with bullying; kids often teased him because he was Jewish, overweight, and wore glasses. “They used tocall me porky,” he recalls. He started lifting weights in his parents’ basement, and as he grew stronger, the teasing stopped.

“It obviously gave me more self-esteem as I got strongerand bigger and became a better athlete,” he explains. “Thepicking on was over at that point.”

He went on to become a football star at Hamden High

School in Connecticut. After graduating in 1962, Katzenrolled at Southern, where he studied to become a healtheducation teacher — his dream since seventh grade. Katzsays he was inspired by his own health education teacher,an ex-marine who gave him “no-nonsense direction” whenhe needed it most.

“He did that for me. I wanted to do that for other kids,”he says. “As corny as it may sound, my calling from Godwas to be a teacher. That’s what I do best.”

After college, Katz spent two years with the New YorkJets but a knee injury ended his career at the beginning ofthe 1968-69 season. The Jets went on to win the SuperBowl that year, while Katz turned his attention to teaching.He took a job as a junior high gym teacher in the publicschool system in Hamden, Conn., where he worked for 33years. He retired in 1999.

Outside of school, Katz continued to train and competein bodybuilding, winning the Mr. America title from theInternational Federation of Body Building in 1970 and twoyears later, Mr. World. He also qualified for the 1976 Mr.Olympia, placing second in the heavyweight division.

Through his friendship with Schwarzenegger, histraining partner, he got a bit part in Sally Field’s breakout movie “Stay Hungry.” But he is most famous for his starring role alongside Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno in the hit bodybuilding documentary “Pumping Iron,” which highlighted Katz’s quest for the1975 Mr. Universe title.

In 1979, he opened the East Coast’s first World Gym in Hamden with his friend and business partner, JerryMastrangelo. They switched to a Planet Fitness franchise in2004, which they run along with Katz’s son, Mike Jr.

Unlike World Gym, Planet Fitness caters more tofamilies and novice gym members. “We call it thejudgement-free zone,” Katz says. He says they made thechange because they thought Planet Fitness had a betterbusiness model.

Katz said he has enjoyed reading letters fromscholarship recipients over the years thanking him forhelping them attend college. He has continued to add tothe scholarship fund balance each year and stronglybelieves alumni should show their gratitude by giving back,especially those who have enjoyed financial success.

“I heard a quote recently: ‘He who dies with the mostmoney is the biggest loser.’ There’s a lot of sense to that,”Katz says. “You don’t have to die broke, but what are youkeeping your hundreds of thousands or millions for whenyou ought to give back to a place that helped to make thatall possible?”
