ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT 3

This is a remarkable time in Genesee Community College’s history.

Grounded in the vision of community volunteers in the 1960s, Genesee has matured 50 years later to a college that makes its mark daily on every facet of community life in the Genesee-Livingston-Orleans-Wyoming county region.

The vision of the College’s founders has been realized many times over:

• Our College’s world-class faculty provides an extraordinary quality of education to thousands of students daily.

• Hundreds of area business organizations grow through the efforts of our graduates and The BEST Center, our highly-acclaimed workforce skills training unit.

• Our direct annual economic impact on the region is some $200 million annually.

• We are the largest source of career support and retraining for unemployed and underemployed adults in our region.

• More than 30,000 area residents visit the College’s Batavia Campus and six campus centers for arts, social, business, athletic and civic events.

Equally significant, our academic and service programs are characterized by remarkable efficiency and economy. Our cost per student is just over $8,000 per year – a cost not typically seen in any sector of education. Our operating costs per student have historically been about 20% lower than the SUNY average, and our reliance on local property taxes has been among the lowest in the state.

Through the efforts of our faculty, staff, Board of Trustees and Foundation Board, and many committed community supporters, Genesee Community College’s reputation has extended beyond our region’s borders, and even worldwide. Our roots and values, however, are based here, in our GLOW region, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to a vibrant local future.

This year we celebrate our accomplishments of the last 50 years, and in the following pages we recognize some of our most outstanding achievements.

James M. Sunser, Ed.D.President

A Message from the President

01

Three Genesee Community College students received Outstanding Adult Student Awards from the Rochester Area Colleges Continuing Education Association (RACCE) at its 32nd annual awards ceremony and banquet. Michael Tucker, a husband and father of three sons, returned to school at age 43 after retiring from a 21-year military career. The Canandaigua resident plans to complete his associate degree before continuing on to pursue a bachelor’s degree in art. Maria Ammarell, wife and mother to five children, has seen her goals grow from obtaining a degree in

Human Services to opening a brick-and-mortar support center where she can combine her love of teaching with providing hope and insight to others. Kelly Hubbard began college 25 years after graduating from high school. She is working toward a degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences while homeschooling her son and undergoing cancer treatments. These outstanding students have all excelled academically while successfully combining their college education with other commitments to family, job, career and service to the community.

More than 1,700 people attended the 35th annual student-produced Fashion Show on April 28, 2016, while another 2,000 people representing 26 distant states and countries enjoyed it through live streaming! The event highlighted a wide spectrum of creativity and diversity from dozens of GCC students, some coming from as far away as Brazil and Alaska, as well as many from communities in western New York. Within the 14 professionally produced fast-paced scenes, students unveiled their unique styles and dynamic fashions. Watch the “Fashion Is…” video by scanning the adjacent QR code.

05SUNY Grant for Workforce Development Builds Employee SkillsNine local companies received a boost to aid individual consortium projects thanks, in part, to a $68,000 SUNY Workforce Development Grant awarded to GCC’s Business Employee Skills Training (BEST) Center. The grant helped support the development of training in the areas of team building, leadership and lean manufacturing. This year, 86 community college projects were supported through the SUNY Workforce Development Grant, which provides workforce development training courses to businesses and organizations statewide to promote and encourage the location and development of new business in New York and to retain existing employment opportunities.

GCC’s 50th anniversary celebration got off to an exciting start with groundbreaking for two new facilities at the Batavia Campus. The 18,478 square foot Student Success Center will be a two-story facility connecting to the existing Conable Technology Building through a second story bridge. It will become the new “front door” of the Batavia Campus and will house success coaches who will provide each incoming GCC student with a single point of contact from

his or her first day on campus all the way through commencement. The new 56,614 square foot Event Center, formerly named the Richard C. Call Arena, will be the largest open public space in the GLOW region. The arena will not only accommodate an array of athletic competitions, but a variety of civic, community, trade and industry as well as college events. The new facility is expected to draw as many as 500,000 visitors to the campus each year.

50th Anniversary Celebration Raises the Roof

New Cougar Athletic Hall of Famers are Heavy HittersThe Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding alumni athletes, teams or individuals whose efforts or achievements have fostered athletic accomplishments and sportsmanship at GCC. This year’s inductees include Ryan Gugel (‘07 - baseball), Tracy Obonna (‘06 - volleyball), Dale Pearce (‘05 - swimming and diving), and the entire 2010 GCC women’s soccer team. Inclusion in the Athletics Hall of Fame is the highest athletic honor that GCC can bestow on its alumni and supporters.

Citizens and business organizations throughout the GLOW region contributed over $5 million in support of the Genesee Community College Foundation’s “Creating Our Future Together” campaign. The campaign is making a new Student Success Center and the Richard C. Call Arena possible on GCC’s Batavia Campus, and will create many new endowed scholarships for students living in

communities served by the College’s six campus centers. In addition, the new Event Center will make a variety of educational, business, and athletic activities available for students and community residents. “The opening of these two buildings will coincide with the College’s 50th anniversary,” President James M. Sunser said. “We will have much to celebrate.”

The Precision Agriculture Summit, held Monday, April 4, 2016, attracted 120 participants, including local growers, technical professionals, agricultural suppliers and students. The gathering featured a keynote address by Marc Vanacht, principal of AG Business Consultants, an internationally-recognized authority on precision agriculture issues. Precision agriculture is an emerging specialty that focuses on the collection and analysis of technical

agriculture data, and the use of the data in agriculture planning and management. Precision agriculture typically uses geospatial tools, including satellite data and aerial drones, to collect and measure soil composition, moisture, fertilizers, and other crop inputs. The College plans to develop coursework in precision agriculture, and initiatives in the near future could include credentialing and certificate programs.

11GCC»s Best and Brightest Shine at First-Ever Scholars» SymposiumA celebration of inquiry and scholarship recognized the great work and bright minds that the College has to offer at the first-ever Scholars’ Symposium. The event, sponsored by the GCC’s Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (CURCA) Committee encouraged students, faculty, staff, community leaders and friends, some from afar, to demonstrate and share scholarly achievements in all disciplines through presentations, poster exhibits and performances. Pulitzer Prize winning author, Columbia University professor, and historian Dr. Eric Foner

delivered the event’s keynote address. Regarded as the leading contemporary historian of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period, Dr. Foner is the recipient of many awards, and has written more than 20 books on the topic. The event was supported by a GCC President’s Innovation Award, which provides funding for innovative activities and projects that promote community involvement in the life of the College, stimulate student and community pride, or help establish pilot programs and initiatives with the potential for positive, long-term impact.

Rose Callahan, co-author of “I Am Dandy: The Return of the Elegant Gentleman” came to campus to share her years of exploring the fascinating phenomenon of dandyism with GCC students, faculty, staff and visitors at the Fashion Speakers Series hosted annually by the College’s Fashion Business program. The event included a Q&A opportunity, an autograph session, and a special ‘Dress Like a Dandy’ Contest. The top five contestants deemed most elegant and stylish by a panel of GCC judges won an autographed copy of Callahan’s book.

15GCC Celebrates 50 Years with Founding Day FestivitiesOn April 15, 1966, the effort and vision of many community members was rewarded when the State University of New York officially approved and recognized the interests of the Genesee County Board of Supervisors to establish and sponsor a two-year college in Genesee County. Exactly 50 years later on April 15, 2016, the thriving College community including students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and friends gathered in the William W. Stuart Forum to commemorate this important anniversary with a cake cutting

ceremony and historical photo show. Visitors also had the opportunity to be part of a pending time capsule by briefly answering the inquiry: “What I found at GCC.” WGCC, the College’s radio station broadcasted live and the GCC Cougar mascot posed for numerous photo ops. To cap the festivities, the College officially released the new 50th Anniversary logo featuring a creative blue and gold flame matching the College’s colors that date back to the late 1960s with the insignia “Your True-Blue Past – Our Golden Future.”

After a moving and heart-rending ‘read-out’ forum where GCC students and faculty shared excerpts from Malala Yousafzai’s book, “I am Malala,” members of the Global Education Committee expanded the program to include a viewing of the full, 88-minute movie about Malala. The film reviews the events leading up to the Taliban’s attack on the young Pakistani schoolgirl for her speaking out in support of girls’ education. The screening was a continuation of the year-long effort to provide dynamic programs focused on the theme “Education Around the World,” by the College’s Global Education Committee.

Acclaimed global futurist, speaker and best-selling author Jack Uldrich served as the keynote speaker for the 2016 Wolcott J. Humphrey III Symposium for Leadership and Community Life helping guests better prepare for the unpredictabilities of the 21st Century. Mr. Uldrich provided an in-depth exploration of how the “internet of things,” big data, social media, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy

and “collaborative consumption” are changing everyday life. Through upbeat, practical and actionable insights, his presentation shed light on future trends, emerging technologies, innovation, change management and transformational leadership. Uldrich’s presentation was followed by a panel discussion featuring local representatives from agriculture, education, healthcare and leadership.

The “Cougar Crawl,” part of GCC’s annual Fall Fest weekend, invited alumni and friends of the College to stroll around downtown Batavia stopping at local establishments for food, drink, and discount specials that largely featured GCC alumni businesses. Beneath the new series of GCC 50th Anniversary banners hanging in downtown Batavia, Cougar Crawlers made stops at locations such as City Slickers, the YNGoddess, Sweet Pea’s Cupcakery, Valle Jewelers, Bourbon and Burger, and Blue Pearl Yoga. The night concluded at TF Browns with the Cougar Crawl Bash, a party that featured a DJ, food and prizes.

GCC’s six campus centers continue to be vibrant centers of community life as well as academic opportunity. Some highlights of events over the past year include a Homeschool Family Information Event, which included live music and refreshments at several campus centers. This outreach gave staff the opportunity to help homeschool students and their families by providing details and answering questions about GCC’s extensive offerings. More than 80 homeschool students attend GCC every semester.

The Warsaw Campus Center planned a “Week of Welcome” for both new and returning students with the theme, Under the Bigtop, designed to help students ease back into the college arena after the holidays. The event raised money and supplies for the local animal shelter. The Medina Campus Center offered a “boot camp” to help students with SAT/ACT preparation. The “camp” delivered a comprehensive review that helped students improve test scores and earn admission into choice colleges and universities.

GCC Students Equipped for Careers in Food Processing Technology

24

The Food Processing Technology Program acquired 12 new pieces of diagnostic laboratory equipment with support from a $40,000 grant through the Educational Credit Management Corporation Foundation (ECMC) in collaboration with the Genesee County Economic Development Center. The new equipment allows students to complete laboratory assignments that closely relate to real-world food manufacturing. The Food Processing Technology program at GCC launched in the fall of 2014 and is the only one of its kind offered at any of SUNY’s 30 community colleges.

22

23Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale and it can be applied to an enormous variety of industries and new career opportunities. GCC is now prominently positioned to prepare students for work in this cutting-edge industry with the launching of the Nanotechnology AAS Degree. The four-semester program includes the first three semesters at GCC, and the fourth and final semester will be taken at Erie Community College’s North Campus though a new GCC-ECC partnership that underscores the SUNY seamless transfer initiative. The approval of the new degree continues the community-wide excitement following Governor Andrew Cuomo’s announcement of the anchor tenant, 1366 Technologies for the new WNY Science and Technology Manufacturing Park (STAMP) project in Alabama, New York, where 9,000 new jobs are estimated over the next 20 years.

GCC welcomed the largest number of international students in its history with 151 students representing 19 different countries. While nearly half of this international student body is from Japan, the College was also delighted to welcome 14 students from Curacao (Netherlands Antilles), 13 from the United Kingdom, seven from Brazil, six from Canada, and three from Ireland. Other countries represented this year included Korea, Mozambique, Spain, Timor Leste, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Ivory Coast, France, China, Croatia, Bangladesh, and Viet Nam. More than a dozen students from others countries also study at GCC through the College’s Online program.

Concerned that her students have little exposure to marine life or zoo animals, Dr. Carolyn Caccamise, GCC’s director of Veterinary Technology arranged a trip to Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida, where a group of eight seniors was welcomed by Ray Ball, director of Medical Services. During their weeklong, spring break visit to the Tampa Zoo, the students observed exams and treatments on many animals including a penguin, a two-toed sloth, rhinos, tortoises and elephants. The administration of anesthesia, radiographs, ultrasound exams and blood draws were also observed. Students also took a trip to the Florida Aquarium to observe exams on horseshoe crabs, eels, stingrays, otters, and sea turtles, and stopped at the Marine Mammal Pathobiology Lab to see necropsies on two manatees. The trip successfully exposed students to new facets of the profession and was, in one student’s words, a“mind-blowing experience”.

26Noted Educator Leads New Student Success Initiative Dr. Shelitha Williams assumed her role as GCC’s new associate vice president of Student Success at Genesee Community College, beginning on June 1, 2016. In this capacity, Dr. Williams is providing leadership, direction and administrative oversight on the new comprehensive enrollment and student services within the college’s new Student Success Center, scheduled to open in June 2017. As the College’s new “front door,” the

Student Success Center will welcome incoming students, and each student will be matched with a “success coach” who will follow his or her academic progress through graduation.

2015-2016 was a banner academic year with 151 international students welcomed to GCC from 19 different countries. These students join us for a variety of reasons from athletic opportunities to acquiring specific skills, but all students, from near and far, appreciate GCC’s value-added education with small class sizes offering plenty of personal attention from faculty dedicated to their field.

28Student Geography GCC proactively reviews economic and employment trends and carefully considers the input of hundreds of professionals who serve on the College’s many advisory committees. This practice enables GCC to continuously update and improve academic curriculum changing older programs such as secretarial science into Administrative Assistant, or Police Science into Criminal Justice.

Peek into nearly every classroom at GCC and diversity in age and ethnicity is obvious. Like all community colleges, we warmly welcome students from all backgrounds. While the 21 and younger age set might be the numeric majority, older adult students contribute handily to the dynamics of the classroom enriching the teaching and learning experience for all.

When GCC opened its doors in 1967 at the old Valu Department Store on West Main Street in Batavia, officials anticipated a maximum of 100 students. Imagine the elation when six times that number signed up! Enrollment has continued to grow through the years with student population spiking in 2009-2011. During that time, unemployment surged, and the College helped many people acquire new skills for new career options.

With a long history of innovation in the teaching and learning environment, GCC’s Online Learning program has continued to provide emerging new academic opportunities each and every year since the first distance learning course was offered in the 1980’s through cable television. In 2015-2016, more than 4,700 GCC students enrolled in online courses. In addition, new courses in Creative Problem Solving, Hip Hop Culture, Sport Marketing, and the Survey of Mathematics were introduced. Sport Management Studies, AS was added to the line-up of 100% online degrees offered by GCC, its 16th online degree.

Since just 2010, the Accelerated College Enrollment program has saved local families nearly $4 million in college tuition when comparing the cost of an ACE credit hour (averaged at $50) to the credit hour at a private college or university (averaged at $763). Among the ACE programs are Advanced Studies inside regional high schools, College Today at GCC campus locations, and the Career Pathways featuring the following four academies: Agri-Business, Health Careers, Information Technology and Legal Careers.

From the dedicated Financial Aid staff, whose combined experience in GCC’s Financial Aid Office now totals more than 65 years, to the family of scholarship opportunities totaling more than 150 different funds —the College is committed to eliminating financial barriers to college enrollment. The Genesee Promise Plus program exemplifies this commitment. Introduced in 2008, the program started as a summer scholarship program for high school graduates. It gradually expanded to include high school juniors, homeschool students and then adults who have never attended college.

Georgann Carrubba, a 2003 graduate from GCC’s Nursing program, has that special combination of being a caring professional, innovative thinker and motivated entrepreneur. Her development of “The Choice Cap System,” a prosthetic appliance for colostomy and ileostomy patients could potentially improve the lives of more than 800,000 ostomy pouch users. With encouragement from GCC’s former Nursing Director Kathleen Palumbo, Georgann took her idea and prototype to the Rochester Venture Challenge and wound up winning $25,000 grand prize helping to fund the in-depth medical study of Tencar, her start-up company that may, one day, bring 150 new jobs to Genesee County.

35Entrepreneurship in Healthcare

When Candace Cooper came to GCC’s Fashion program in 2012, she had already established her own line of clothing and notions called Can’de Couture which she described as classic with a chic and sophisticated style. Continuing her studies at LIM furthered her education, career and success including opportunities to participate in numerous fashion shows and a tour of her own line, now called Cande, in New York City. One day, she envisions designing gowns and garments for Hollywood stars who walk the red carpet for the Oscars, and before she turns 25, she plans to have her own boutique.

36Entrepreneurship - Fashion Design

After earning a bachelor’s degree in finance from Canisius College and landing an analyst position with a bank, Tyler Annalaura’s career was secure, but not satisfying. He wound up in GCC’s Fashion Business program graduating with a Fashion Design AAS degree in 2014. This enabled him to pursue his real passion of hunting for vintage clothing and re-selling it on Etsy’s TwoGuysGoodBuys, the online marketplace he established with his best friend. Together, they continue to explore the country while scouting for great deals, meeting new people and discovering the coveted “vanlife” that is well documented on numerous social media channels.

The days of College Meadows as a private apartment complex adjacent to the Batavia Campus in the early 80’s gave rise to College Village, a student residence community purchased by the GCC Foundation in 2001. With continued investment and expansion, College Village now accommodates more than 450 full-time students and just this past year introduced a full-time, on-site success coach dedicated to helping College Village residents achieve academic success.

43College Village

Throughout its 50 year history, GCC has always prioritized technological innovation across all aspects of the college experience. From electric typewriters of the 1970’s, GCC now has 37 computer labs, campus-wide WiFi, hundreds of online courses, 16 online degrees, and ‘hybrid’ coursework employing one of the newest teaching and learning innovations: 360 Degree Learning Option. The College’s Information Technology Program has continued to expand the 360 degree learning model, and now each course in the entire program offers at least one section with the 360 Degree Learning Option. This gives students maximum flexibility. They can come to campus for in-person class time experiences, participate in live lectures remotely from the comforts of their home, and use cloud-based information storage to review classes and lectures as often as they desire.

Employing high-tech equipment, services and concepts to farming operations helps enhance crop production and other agricultural activities. As agriculture is the GLOW region’s largest economic sector, GCC established a Precision Agriculture Advisory Committee represented by regional farming leaders, technical consultants, education and other businesses and agencies. Together, they coordinated the first “Precision Agriculture Day” in April 2016. More than 105 attendees included crop and dairy producers and 70 participants from high schools. A new non-credit series of courses may potentially develop into a new academic program at GCC.

In 1966, before GCC even opened its first doors at “Valu Tech” on West Main Street, the College was officially affiliated with the State University of New York. In the years since, thousands of students have started at GCC and transferred their academic credit to earn another degree through the world -renowned SUNY system. Recognizing the need to retain consistent course curriculum and standards across all 64 campuses, SUNY introduced the seamless transfer initiative establishing common credit requirements for all SUNY programs. In the past three years, GCC has reviewed all academic programs making modifications as needed to align with the broader SUNY requirements, thereby enabling a seamless experience for transfer students.

44GCC Aligns with SUNY Seamless Transfer Initiative

Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) oversees 530 colleges and universities within New York State, as well as seven other states or

territories within this region of the nation. To retain MSCHE accreditation, GCC is undergoing a multi-stage, multi-year accreditation review process, which is scheduled every ten years. In 2014-2015, the College began the process with the intensive “self-study” by appointing a steering committee, many working groups, and campus-wide research discussions to prepare for the Self-Study Report which focuses on specific standards and helps frame the three-day site visit by an assigned evaluation team in April 2017.

46Middle States Accreditation

GCC’s first President, Dr. Alfred C. O’Connell, was a strong advocate of libraries and their central importance to the College’s mission. So when the College first opened its doors in September of 1967 at the old Valu Department Store on West Main Street, the facility included a fully-stocked library collection and services, thanks in no small part to Betty Lane, the library’s first director. In 1972, the collection was moved to its permanent home on College Road with a prominent location and named the Alfred C. O’Connell Library. Throughout its first 50 years, embracing technology and student-focused services have been hallmarks of the library. On the cutting edge of every new era, the library automated its circulation system in 1985, debuted a website in the 1990s and moved to 24/7/365 service for students via online resources. In 2000, the library was fully renovated to its present 22,834 square feet of space. Today, 99 computer workstations, laptops, 87,000 print titles, an extensive collection of current textbooks and anatomical models await students at the Batavia campus, and use of the library is robust with an average of 200,000 visits per year. There are 89 online databases, 9,500 ebooks, access to 48,550 unique full-text periodical titles, extensive online guides, instructional classes and videos, worldwide interlibrary loan, chat reference and more serve students and faculty at all six campus centers and online from around the world. Students recognized the library as #1 in the 2016 SUNY Student Opinion Survey. Lastly, the college history is well-preserved within the library’s historical Archives.

It is just three miles from downtown Batavia to GCC, but without a car those three miles are insurmountable for many students to frequent the different shops and stops in the City. To build a better connection between the College and the local community, a series of different opportunities were implemented. RTS expanded the bus schedule to encourage College Village residents to frequent local businesses; a special ‘student-friendly’ advertising circular was created by The Daily News; and special 50th Anniversary banners were displayed along Main Street and through downtown Batavia highlighting students and many different academic divisions. In addition, the GCC Alumni Association introduced the “Cougar Crawl” to kick off the annual Fall Fest Homecoming weekend with alumni and friends strolling around downtown stopping at many establishments for food, drink and discount specials largely featuring GCC alumni businesses (See page 10.)

47≈Town-Gown∆ Connections

Through the generosity of donors throughout the GLOW region, the GCC Foundation has created “Students of Promise” scholarship funds for students living in communities served by campus centers in Albion, Medina, Warsaw, Arcade, Lima and Dansville. The scholarships will help make education possible for local students with unmet financial needs that cannot be secured in any other way. The scholarships are permanently endowed, creating a lasting legacy of financial support for each of the communities GCC serves.

48Community Opportunities

Last year we established a pilot success coaching project at College Village, our residence for 450 students. The project, staffed by a full-time coordinator, provides hands-on guidance and mentoring to students experiencing academic and personal challenges. The goal: increase academic persistence and achievement. This residence-based success coaching program is one of only a very few similar programs in the U.S.

49Success Begins in Housing

Last year, the GCC Foundation provided funding for 325+ student scholarships emphasizing academic excellence, alleviation of serious financial hardship, and promotion of study in fields critical to the growth of the GLOW region. Scholarships provide support that cannot be financed in any other way. Over the last quarter-century, about 80% of all scholarship recipients have chosen to remain in the region, and increasingly hold positions of business and civic responsibility.

I am continually reminded of the striking similarities between our supporters today and their predecessors of the 1960s.

Fifty years ago, our first supporters displayed amazing generosity and volunteer activism, even before Genesee Community College was founded. They

instinctively knew that a college serving our four-county region would transform our communities in positive ways. They were determined to create and build a college.

Fifty years later, today’s supporters take pride in the commitment of their predecessors. Today, our supporters recognize the unique value of projects like our new Student Success Center and student success coaching program; our Richard C. Call Arena; scholarships and need-based grants that cannot be funded in any other way; new academic programs; and outreach activities serving the community. These projects and so many more will continue our tradition of transforming community life.

Years from now, the steps we collectively take today will foster thriving and ever-growing communities. Our supporters today are laying the groundwork for communities filled with vision and opportunity.

My thanks, and the thanks of our GCC Foundation Board of Directors, for your generous financial and volunteer commitment to our College. You continue a proud tradition that began 50 years ago and continues to shape our communities and the lives of our citizens in wonderful ways.
