Fashion Show
SUNY Ulster will hold its 2nd annual Spring Fashion Show on Saturday, May 12, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the College Lounge in Vanderlyn Hall on the Stone Ridge campus. The show will feature a variety of clothing pieces and a 3D feature piece, all of which were designed and created by students in SUNY Ulster’s Fashion Design program.
Womenswear, menswear, painted kimonos and a special 3D feature piece will be on display at the show. The fashion show includes the first year students’ designs and second year graduating class’ individual collections, which are the culmination of two years of apparel construction courses. This year’s show features a project with local designer Karina Cousineau, founder of Karina Dresses. She has posed a challenge to the first year design students to create a wearable garment that will flatter every body type.
Suggested donation for this event is $5 for the afternoon show and $10 for the evening show. For more information, email flynnk@sunyulster.edu.
MVCC Grant
Mohawk Valley Community College and Leadership Mohawk Valley (LMV) were awarded a four-year $151,900 grant from the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties to create an innovative and high impact Center for Leadership Excellence to address the region’s need for effective, equipped, and engaged community leaders.
While existing leadership programs in the region have shown positive results, MVCC and LMV believe that there is still tremendous potential waiting to be unlocked in the community, including through women, minorities, refugees, and other groups that are underrepresented in local leadership.
Good Professor!
The Faculty Council of Community Colleges (FCCC) is proud to announce that Professor Tina Good of Suffolk County Community College received the Faculty Council’s 2018 Distinguished Service Award.
This annual award honors an individual who has worked to promote the success of The State University of New York’s 30 community colleges and the well-being of their faculty, students, and staff. Past awardees include SUNY Chancellor Emeritus Nancy L. Zimpher, SUNY Chairman of the Board H. Carl McCall, and New York State Senator Kenneth LaValle.
Dr. Good served as president of the Faculty Council from 2009 to 2015. Under her leadership, the FCCC experienced unprecedented growth, both in operational scale and stature. As a result of advocacy efforts led by Dr. Good, the FCCC president was granted a permanent seat on the SUNY Board of Trustees.
The event took place at MVCC last month.
