The Power of Education

2013 Charitable Giving Report

Dear Friends,The importance of earning a college degree for future success

is well documented. In a recent article favoring compulsory K-16

education, Richard Reeves and Quentin Karpilow of the

Brookings Institution wrote: “We need to make post-secondary

education the norm for everyone, not just the advantaged. In

today’s economy, a high school diploma is not enough; now,

more than ever, college is the gateway to the American Dream.”

The life-changing power of education is represented in

the stories of the donors highlighted in this year’s annual

report of the Southern Connecticut State University

Foundation. Joan Specter, ’56, went from living in a two-

family Quonset hut on Whitney Avenue to becoming a

successful businesswoman. Although 83-year-old Douglas

Relyea, M.S. ’08, has achieved a great deal in life, he

demonstrates his continued belief in the value of education by

pursuing every learning opportunity available to him. The late

Nancy Marano, ’68, professor of education, believed writing

was the essence of human society and that learning to

communicate effectively would empower her students.

As the leaders of Southern’s fundraising efforts, we are

committed to generating the support which will ensure that

every Southern student is afforded the opportunity to

experience the power of education. To that end, the Foundation

has funded a number of new initiatives designed to help

Southern’s talented students succeed. These include:

• Establishing the Foundation Student Support Fund

to provide students with financial assistance outside

of the traditional financial aid process. Areas of

support include tuition and fees for those who

otherwise would be unable to remain at the

university, covering the costs of books for students in

need, and paying costs of off-campus educational

programs during the summer and other breaks.

• Supporting experiential learning by funding

undergraduate research grants for summer 2014.

• Funding the Civic Engagement/Service Learning

Initiative, the goal of which is to incorporate

community work into the curriculum so that students

gain real-world experiences that enhance their

education while providing benefits to the community.

Looking to the future, the university has embarked on the

development of a new 10-year strategic plan, and the SCSU

Foundation will align its fundraising efforts with the priorities

identified through this process. The support of alumni and friends

will be critical to ensuring Southern students have an educational

experience that propels them forward to successful lives. On

behalf of the SCSU Foundation Board, we offer our sincere

appreciation for your continuing commitment to Southern.

38 | Charitable Giving Report

Fundraising and Financial HighlightsU.S. stocks ended the year with broad gains, with

the Dow Jones Industrial Average having its biggest

rally in 18 years to finish 27 percent up for the year,

according to The Wall Street Journal. At the close of

the fiscal year on June 30, the fundraising results for

the Southern Connecticut State University Foundation

significantly exceeded our estimates — ending at

close to $1.9 million. The Foundation’s net assets also

increased over the prior year to just over $20 million

as a result of healthy growth in the financial markets.

The market value of the endowments increased $1.7

million from last year to $15.4 million.

Looking AheadAccording to Commonfund Securities, the latest

data further supports their longstanding view that the

U.S. economy is rebounding and inflation is well

controlled. The forecast for the U.S. economy,

corporate earnings, and the equity markets in 2014 is

optimistic, as a rise in consumer net worth, consumer

confidence, corporate cash flow, and profits continues.

Kiplinger’s Economic Outlook for 2014 anticipates

gross domestic product growth of 2.7 percent or

better, with short-term interest rates remaining low

throughout the year. Inflation is expected to tick up

slightly to 1.8 percent, and business spending is

anticipated to be up 4.5 percent to 5 percent as U.S.

growth strengthens.

The Foundation’s Investment Committee revised their

Investment Policy through a change in asset

allocations. Commencing in January, the portfolio is

investing in small allocations to Emerging Markets,

Hedge Equity, Global Bonds, and Distressed Debt.

This change in policy will help weather any potential

downturn that may present itself in the future. The

Foundation Board remains optimistic that its

investment portfolio will continue to achieve earnings

that, when combined with generous contributions

from our constituents, should provide strong support.

Our objectives remain to increase resources available

for scholarships and programmatic initiatives.

Living theDream

Celebrated as abusinesswoman,politician, andculinary wonder,Joan Specter, ’56,establishes ascholarship thathonors friendshipand the life-changingpower of education.

By Natalie Missakian

Spring 2014 | 41

oan Specter, ’56, can’t recall exactly how much tuitioncost when she attended Southern, but she remembers itbeing “ridiculously low” — maybe $20 or $30 a semester— and to her that seemed like a lot.

Specter, wife of the late U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania), was a newlywed and had come to New

Haven so her husband could attend law school at Yale. The couplehad very little money and was living on Whitney Avenue in theQuonset huts, a tract of prefabricated two-family homes often usedby the military to house soldiers during World War II.

“They were tin-roof buildings with one floor, and the walls werepaper thin. You could hear everything your neighbor said,” Specterrecalls. “One family lived in the front of the hut, and another familylived in the rear. It was a wild experience, I can tell you that.”

It was there that Specter met Louise Jongewaard — everyonecalled her “Dode” — who lived next door and was also attendingSouthern while her husband studied at Yale Divinity School. Bondedby similar circumstances, the two women quickly became friends.

“We were very poor. We had no money. But we had a house —a good ol’ half of a Quonset hut — and we packed up everymorning and went to school,” Specter remembers. “And we felt likewe were the luckiest people in the world that we could get a collegedegree for so little money.”

So when Specter established a scholarship at Southern inDecember 2012, she decided to name it the Joan Specter andLouise (Dode) Jongewaard Endowed Scholarship in honor of theirfriendship and their pursuit of an affordable education. The moneyis earmarked for undergraduate students who are in goodacademic standing and demonstrate financial need.

“I gave a gift to the school because they gave me a gift. Theygave me the gift of education — an affordable education — and itwas wonderful,” she says.

Specter started at Southern in 1953 (she already had one yearat Temple University under her belt), when the school was knownas New Haven State Teachers College and was still located on HoweStreet. Hers was the first class to graduate from the new campus,which bore little resemblance to the Southern of today. “They hadjust one building and no auditorium, and we graduated in this bigopen field, sitting on folding chairs,” Specter remembers.

After graduating with a liberal studies degree, she returned toPhiladelphia and earned a master’s in food and design from DrexelUniversity. Her husband would go on to serve 30 years in the U.S.Senate, the longest of any Pennsylvania senator. Specter,meanwhile, made a name for herself as a dessert maven andsuccessful businesswoman and later launched her own politicalcareer as a four-term Philadelphia city councilwoman.

While in graduate school, she met her cooking partner andtogether they opened a culinary school. As her reputation in theculinary world grew (she also wrote a food column in the localpaper and had a food-related radio show), she was approached by

a local entrepreneur who wanted to start a dessert business andasked Specter to develop the product.

“I said, ‘Well, what do you have in mind?’ and he said he wasinterested in pies,” she recalls. “So I said, ‘Sure. But it will take me awhile to figure out what I want to do.’”

Specter tested recipes and came up with the two signature piesthat made her — as one Philadelphia Inquirer food writer dubbedher — the queen of the local pie trade: the candied walnut appleand the double chocolate mousse. In 1977, she opened her bakeryand started selling pies to local restaurants. The business grewinto a wholesale food distribution company and by the late 1980s,her gourmet frozen pies could be found in restaurants and upscalefood markets across the country.

A few years into her business venture, she was approached torun for the Philadelphia City Council. She won the 1979 electionand was re-elected three more times.

Upon leaving politics, she worked for more than a decade as afundraiser for the National Constitution Center, a museum locatedacross from Independence Hall and dedicated to educating thepublic about the Constitution. Now retired, she lives in Philadelphiaand has two sons, Shanin, who is an attorney, and Steve, an MD whohas a doctorate in nutrition, as well as four grandchildren, one ofwhom attends Yale. She still keeps in touch with her friend Dode,who lives in California. “We talk on the phone all the time,” she says.

Specter’s words of wisdom to Southern students and graduatesare simple: Keep your mind open and say yes.

“That’s what I did in my life. What did I know about running abakery? Or being a city councilwoman? I mean, really?” she asks.“There are lots of possibilities out there. Just because you went toschool to be a teacher, doesn’t mean you have to be a teacher. Youcan be anything you want to be. You just have to really want to be it.”

J “I gave a gift to the school because

they gave me a gift. They gave

me the gift of education — an

affordable education — and it

was wonderful.”

Part TwoDouglas Relyea, M.S. ’08,capitalizes on aneducation program for seniors — and establishes ascholarship to helpothers earn their degrees.


ouglas Relyea, M.S. ’08, takes the catchphrase“lifelong learner” to a whole new level.

The 83-year-old former chemist has spentthe last 15 years taking classes at Southern, firstas a graduate student pursuing his master’s in

biology and now — after reaching that goal in 2008 — as anundergrad majoring in French. He is a proud, if unorthodox,member of the Class of 2014, who was set to receive his bachelor’sdegree in May as this issue went to press.

“I give new meaning to the word “senior,” quips theoctogenarian, who is minoring in German and has grandchildrenthe same age as many of his classmates.

Relyea is taking advantage of a program that lets Connecticutresidents 62 and older enroll in courses at state public universitiesand colleges tuition free. Under the program, applicants can takeunlimited courses where space is available after paying a registrationand other basic fees. In addition to being offered at Southern, theprogram is available at Eastern, Central, and Western ConnecticutState universities and the University of Connecticut, as well as thestate’s community colleges.

Relyea figures by the time he is finished, the state will havesubsidized his education to the tune of nearly $50,000. After doingthe math, the Bethany, Conn., resident decided he should pay the debtforward, so he established the Douglas I. and Mary L. Relyea EndowedScholarship at Southern, named for Relyea and his wife. Thescholarship is open to undergraduate students majoring in Frenchor German who maintain a grade point average of 2.7 or higher.

“I looked around at all these students paying for every creditand thought I really should give something back,” he says.

Relyea has a long-held commitment to education. He alreadyholds a bachelor’s from Clarkson University, a master’s fromCornell, and a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina. He alsocompleted one year of post-doctoral studies at the University ofWisconsin and worked for 40 years as a chemist with Uniroyal. Hehas received 19 patents for his research, developing insecticides andfungicides for crop protection and has authored 25 scientific papers.

When he retired, his desire to keep learning drew him toSouthern, where he has been taking classes since at least 1999.Steven Burian, chair of the Biology Department, who worked withRelyea on his master’s thesis, notes that it’s likely Relyea had takenall of the biology courses in Southern’s catalog.

“He took a huge number of courses, probably double the numberof courses that you need for a master’s degree,” Burian recalls.

Relyea says he pursued his master’s in biology because he has adeep interest in insects, entomology, and ecology — a curiositythat was piqued during his many years working on insecticides.His master’s thesis focused on the taxonomy of the mayfly.

His interest in world languages also goes back to his days as achemist. He was expected to have rudimentary knowledge ofFrench and German because scientific terminology was rooted in

those languages, but he always wanted to master them, he says. Relyea jokingly calls himself a transfer student, explaining that

Southern gave him credit for 10 liberal arts classes he took whileearning his first bachelor’s degree more than 60 years ago. He alsoreceived a waiver for the mandatory “Introduction to Wellness.”

Relyea has run a total of 180 road races and 120 biathlons andcontinued to run until a knee injury eight years ago forced him togive up the sport. He estimates he has logged around 35,000 miles.

“I’d done races. I had a body mass index (BMI) of 21. I have anannual physical exam. I eat three meals a day at a table. I was, atthe time, 81 or 82 and still breathing in and out. Did I really need acourse in Introduction to Wellness?” he recalls. So he wrote to thedepartment chair of Public Health and pleaded his case. He quicklygot an e-mail back from his secretary, telling him that the departmentchair was granting the waiver “and we both envy your BMI.”

Luke Eilderts, assistant professor of French, says Relyea bringsa different perspective to the classroom than a student fresh out ofhigh school.

“He’s beloved by his fellow students. He’s very intelligent,” saysEilderts, who coordinates the French program.

Burian adds that Relyea was a role model for the fledglingscientists in his classes, who were learning how to ask the rightquestions and apply scientific principles.

“Doug was great at that because he already had all thatbackground. It was second nature because that’s how he lived hislife,” Burian says.

When the class discussed research papers, for example, Relyeaoften questioned their conclusions. Sometimes he even re-did theanalyses. “He would never accept anything at face value — whichis how science should be,” Burian says.

Relyea says he is getting an “excellent” education at Southernand notes that a key to finding happiness in the golden years is tocome up with a five- to 10-year plan before retiring. “Don’t just leavethe job and go home and put your feet up and watch TV,” he says.

TheTeachers’Teacher

Professor Nancy Marano’spassion for educationinfluenced countlessstudents as well as herfamily. A memorialscholarship establishedin her honor continuesher legacy at Southernand beyond.


Spring 2014 | 45

hen Kristin Marano leaves the house —even if it’s just for a quick run to the grocerystore — she always brings a book with her“just in case.” It’s a habit she learned from hermother, who was never without a book evenwhen she became too ill to read them herself.

“We were encouraged to have a book with us wherever wewere, wherever we went,” says Marano, who describes a childhoodhome filled with bookshelves. “We always had family discussionsabout what we were reading.”

Kristin’s mother, Nancy Marano, ’68, believed reading was thefoundation for good writing, and she was passionate about passingon that skill to her own family and students.

At Southern, she was a longtime professor of education and an architect of the university’s Writing Across the Curriculumprogram, which promotes writing in every academic discipline andoffers workshops and tutoring for faculty and students. In a fittingtribute, the university dedicated a student writing competition inthe professor’s honor after her death in 2011. The Nancy MaranoWriting Across the Curriculum Award annually recognizes the beststudent work completed in writing-intensive courses.

“In her mind, writing really was the essence of human society,”says her husband, John Marano, (pictured at left) of Madison,Conn. “She loved good writing, she loved her students, and shewanted her students to be able to communicate effectively.”

To honor that passion, he established the Nancy Laine MaranoEndowed Scholarship Fund at Southern. The scholarship is open toa junior or senior in the School of Education who maintains agrade point average of 3.5 or higher. To be considered, applicantsmust write an essay explaining why they deserve the award.

“She was quite an effective communicator,” John Marano adds.“She had a special way with people, making them feel comfortable.”

One of her first students was none other than her husband. The two met at a New Haven nightspot while John was at Yale

University and Nancy was attending Western College. She hadcome home to the New Haven area for Thanksgiving break and,serendipitously, “it was one of the few times I hadn’t gone home for aholiday,” he recalls. A friend of Nancy’s suggested he ask her to dance.“I followed the advice,” he says. Soon after, she transferred to Southern,where she earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education.Theymarried in 1968 and have two daughters, Kristin and Lauren.

Although John worked in engineering, his job required more andmore writing as he climbed the corporate ladder into management.

“I needed a lot of help,” jokes Marano, who held corporateexecutive positions at Mobil and Union Carbide and now owns acompany that makes medical devices. “She took me under herwing and helped me with my writing and communications, whichI really believe helped my career. As time passed, if I had animportant piece of writing for my job, she would review it and giveme pointers, and I would do the same for her. We bounced thingsoff of each other in that way.”

Nancy Marano began her career as a special education teacher inCharleston, W. Va., specializing in children with learning disabilities,and later held teaching and tutoring positions in Princeton, N.J.,and New Canaan, Conn. She earned a master’s in special educationfrom West Virginia Graduate College in 1977 and a doctorate ineducational studies from the University of Michigan in 2000.

In 2001, she joined the faculty at Southern, where she wasactively involved in academic life. In addition to serving on theWriting Across the Curriculum Committee, she was a member ofthe Autism Spectrum Disorders Advisory Board and was facultyadvisor to the Future Teachers of America.

Professor of Mathematics Maria Diamantis, who workedclosely with Marano, describes her colleague as enthusiastic,patient, and caring. “One of her students gave her a plaque thatread ‘You Inspire Me,’” says Diamantis. “She kept it in her office,where she could easily see it and always be reminded of hermission. She was completely devoted to her students.”

“I only ever knew my mom as dedicated to the discipline ofeducation,” says Kristin Marano, who now lives in Winston-Salem,N.C. “To say that she was passionate about it sounds limited andtrite. It was more just who she was, foundational to her being, part ofher core. She was always a teacher — as far back as I can remember.”

Marano says her mother often spoke of her students and howmuch she enjoyed watching future teachers in the classroom. “Youcould see the twinkle in her eye when she’d talk about them,” JohnMarano adds.

In her personal life, Marano believed strongly in human rights,women’s rights, and helping the poor. She also was fiercelyprotective of those she loved, her husband says. Althoughdiminutive in stature and typically reserved, she often surprisedpeople when she spoke in defense of her beliefs. “She was calm butvery determined,” John Marano says.

He remembers one family vacation in Cape Cod when a salesclerk spoke harshly to the couple’s young daughters. Maranomarched back into the store and gave the woman an earful abouttreating children with respect.

“She was reserved until you pushed her buttons,” he jokes. Knowing how thrilled she would have been to help others

obtain a college education, he says the family has enjoyed meetingsome of the scholarship recipients, describing them as “wonderful,pleasant, and very smart students.”

W “She was always a teacher —

as far back as I can remember.”
