https://www2.brockport.edu/alumni/alumni-spotlight/larry-albanese-76/
Wading in the Wetlands In this month’s Donor Impact Series, Larry Albanese ’76 shares what inspired him and his wife, Gabriella Albanese ’77, to begin not only an Environmental Sciences Scholarship, but what Larry calls a “slush fund” to support key expenses involved with student research in the wetlands. He also reflects on how small, approachable monthly giving has been a game-changer for their family’s ability to make an impact. Q: Tell me a little bit about yourself and your connection to SUNY Brockport. Well, I came up here in 1974 as a junior transfer student. My first two years [of college] were at Dutchess Community College down in Poughkeepsie, and I wanted to get away from Poughkeepsie…always loved this part of the State. Once I set foot on campus, I said, one way or another, this is where I want to be. I met my wife about ten or eleven days in, and I graduated from here, then worked a bunch of places [in Rochester], including Kodak…Being a history buff, a lot of interesting things happened in Central New York and Western New York, so I have always felt a close connection up here. I got to Brockport and fell in love with the Village and the College, and now have managed to stay here. Q: How does campus feel in comparison to when you were a student here, now that you are back? It’s in some ways, very much the same. You know, the main section of the campus where we all went for class, and the dorms, it all seems very much how it did. Of course, the trees are more mature, and the plantings are more mature, and all of that. And when we graduated, the new library was complete, and the administration building was just underway…It has been fun to watch it grow. Q: Do you recall your very first gift to SUNY Brockport? We started giving a small amount to the Alumni Association, and we didn’t have an awful lot of money so we gave ten bucks a month, and did that for a long time. We’re both graduates, I graduated in `76, my wife graduated in `77. There was some kind of fundraising thing, and we said, ‘Yeah, we can do that.’ And that kind of loafed along…fast forward to a couple of years ago — our kids have been long out of the house, our kids are middle-aged — so we just really decided that we wanted to support a few things that were important to us in a more substantial manner. We kind of have a means now. I mean, I can’t bequeath hundreds of thousands of dollars, but you know, through monthly giving we can move the needle a bit. Then Donnie Walters [an Engagement Officer in SUNY Brockport’s Division of Advancement] reached out, and we were really interested in starting a scholarship fund [The Lawrence C. and Gabriella S. Albanese Wetlands Conservation Research Scholarship Fund], and so that is what we did. Hopefully we will be able to make that grow over time, too. But I have been involved with wetlands conservation through Ducks Unlimited now for thirty some odd years, and knew that Brockport had an environmental sciences program. I wanted to do something to really support a young man or a young woman who wanted to get involved with it, because our future depends on it. It comes right off our credit card every month, and no fuss, no muss…It’s kind of funny that a few thousand dollars seem to have made a difference. Q: What inspired your passion for the wetlands? I have always loved the outdoors, even when I was a kid. My grandparents had a farm, and we spent every waking moment possible out there…I was a Boy Scout, and we did a lot of outdoor camping…We always tried to do a couple of things a year that would clean up a stream bed, or clean up deadfall, or make, fix, or repair something through the Boy Scouts. And later on, we would just do it for the sake of doing it. When we moved out to the farm [in Albion] back in `86, a neighbor of ours invited us to a Ducks Unlimited dinner, which is a fundraising dinner [for Ducks Unlimited]….and it’s just an international organization that now has twelve or fourteen million acres of wetlands under supervision. This is something that I want to be involved with. Since 1989 I’ve been involved with the [Ducks Unlimited] committee. Q: What inspired your decision to create both the Lawrence C. and Gabriella S. Albanese Wetlands Conservation Research Scholarship Fund and the Albanese Wetlands Conservation Student Research Support Fund? [Laughs] It sounds so pretentious. It should just be the Larry and Gabe Scholarship and Research Funds. That’s more ‘us’ than the “Lawrence C. and Gabriella S. Albanese…[laughs]. The time was right. And the fact that global climate change is getting worse, and it’s getting worse faster now than any of us thought it was going to. We’ve got to a point of kind of a thermal run-way, and the runway is pretty short. We are not rich people, but I thought it was appropriate and necessary to do the little bit that we could to help mitigate what’s going on now. And wetlands do support every aspect of life, so with a college that we both really enjoyed, and wanting to support people in our community and our area that were going to do things to impact the quality of life in our area, we just thought it was a nice thing to start to do, and a good thing. One is a small scholarship to help a graduate or undergraduate who is going to be working in the environmental sciences field, and the other is, I hate to say a slush fund, but a fund to help with [student research], whether it be supplies, or a symposium, or a trip that needed to be made…it’s broadly written so that the head of the department can use the fund at their discretion…and Donnie says, that is something that’s unique, nobody else has done that. So if they need a certain chemical to do soil testing or batteries, that is what that is there for. Or if you got to send a student to Albany for a one-day symposium…but you need two-hundred bucks for the symposium…that’s what it’s there for. I couldn’t put my hands on two-hundred bucks when I was a college kid. Q: Would you mind telling me a little bit about the fund more specifically, and the impact you hope it will have on others both short and long-term? There are plenty of scholarships out there for the young man or young woman who is the valedictorian, or who has gotten straight A’s, and has parents that are making six and seven-figure salaries, you know? And that’s great. But we were looking for the kid who maybe grew up on a farm, or a young woman who wanted to get out there and work in the woods and the wilderness, but maybe is only a C-student because she has to work while she’s in school. We were looking for somebody who didn’t have the economic resources that some of his or her peers might have. You take the kid that grew up in Cobleskill, whose parents are working at kind of crumby jobs and scraping together every dime they can to get that young man or that young woman into a program at a good SUNY college, those are the kind of people we wanted to help. Hopefully, along with impacting an individual undergrad or grad student on a yearly basis here, [funding the Research Fund through monthly giving] will be something you folks can use as a template to show to other people who are willing to give. [Monthly giving] comes off your credit card once a month, and you never think of it, never see it, never have to lick a stamp or write out a check. Q: What are you most passionate about in regard to SUNY Brockport? We had some really great times here. Met some great people. We look back at our years in Brockport, we even lived in Brockport for a couple years after [graduating]. It’s just a place I fell in love with, and always hoped that we would be able at some point to give back, contribute to. And now, in a small way, we are able to. We are never going to be the one at the top who is able to contribute 250,000 dollars to some grand, huge-scheme project, but if we can help a young man or young woman get more involved in the things they are passionate about, then it doesn’t get too much better than that. Q: Why does giving back to your alma mater matter to you? You give to things that are important to you. We’ve always held Brockport in a nice glowy spot in our hearts [laughs]. We had a lot of good times here. Learned how to learn. That’s kind of what I equate my education at Brockport to. I had some awesome professors here, that either remained professors or went on to do really cool and great things in the industry and government and banking and everything, but it was the exposure to all of those different people and the ability to learn [that I gained the most from].

Faculty and Staff Giving Participation by Faculty and Staff sends a powerful message to our students, alumni, and friends — that everyone at SUNY Brockport is committed to our mission of student success. Whatever your reason, Faculty and Staff Giving makes an impact for our entire community. Emeriti and Retirees Support As a retiree, you share a unique relationship with the college. Although you have officially passed the torch to another generation of faculty and staff, you remain forever connected to Brockport. You helped shape the lives of students in countless ways. Today, our faculty, staff, and students continue the University’s long-standing tradition of striving each day to advance student success. Make Your Mark Senior Class Giving The Make Your Mark Senior Class Giving Campaign offers graduating students the opportunity to give back to SUNY Brockport to an area of the University that is most meaningful to them. It recognizes and celebrates their hard work and allows them to make their first philanthropic mark on the University, so they can continue to create life-changing experiences for the Golden Eagles who will come after them.

Before you encourage others: Make your own gift first You will be a more credible solicitor if you consider your own gift or pledge before asking anyone else for one. It is difficult to convince others to do something when you have not yet convinced yourself. Once you have made your own commitment and have thought about why Brockport is important to you and deserving of your support, you can use this reasoning with others. If you’ve already completed this step, thank you! During your conversation: Establish rapport This will come naturally if the colleague is someone you already know well. If not, your common bond as colleagues should provide an easy, natural opening. (“How long have you worked at Brockport? How are your classes going? Are you aware of the Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign?) Enjoy the chance to have a conversation with someone you know well or not-so-well about a place you both know well. Explain your mission Tell your colleague that you support the Faculty and Staff Campaign and are making personal solicitations on behalf of this year’s campaign. - The annual Faculty and Staff Campaign is an opportunity to celebrate the University’s mission of student success and its core value of providing a quality education at an affordable price through philanthropy. It allows all of us who champion the Brockport education to express our appreciation and assist in the continued availability of it. - The University sees each gift – no matter what the size – as a vote of confidence, and all gifts are greatly appreciated. Make the case for support Private support provides our students with rich opportunities for educational and personal growth. It enhances the wide array of activities and programs we offer to assist students in developing their personal talents while serving the community at large. Whether it is studying abroad, interning at a local business, or participating in the life of the University, private dollars play a vital part in enriching the Brockport experience for everyone involved. Although The Fund for Brockport is the top priority, if your colleague wants to give to another area of the university (e.g. departmental fund or scholarship, sports team, etc.), you can say that all gifts to this year’s campaign will enhance the offerings to our students, help make Brockport a better place for all of us, and count towards increasing participation across campus. Above all, be positive and let your enthusiasm show. Talk about why you give and why you believe it is important to encourage others to participate. Your own example will be the most powerful argument you can bring to your solicitations. After your pitch: Wrap-up the Conversation - Yes: Thank the colleague and let them know their options for making their gift – one-time gifts can be made by check, credit card or payroll deduction. Bi-weekly payments can also be set-up through payroll deduction. - Maybe: It is not unusual for someone to want time to think carefully before committing to a gift. Agree on the follow-up and ask if you can touch base again in a week or two. - No: Thank your colleague for their time and consideration, and express the hope that they will consider a gift at another point in time.

Faculty & staff giving each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) is an opportunity to support the people, places, and programs we see in action each day. Gifts from faculty & staff help us leverage external giving, teach philanthropy, and directly enhance the quality of our programs.For public universities like ours, several factors including a reduction in state support over the years have compounded financial pressures. Private support from our community is crucial. Each gift matters. The cumulative power of our giving is transformative. Over the last three years, more than 1,000 faculty & staff donors have contributed more than $405,000. Giving is a personal decision. Each donor does so for different reasons. Whatever the reason, your decision to support the University ensures our on campus community has the resources to thrive, now and in the future. Private support from our community is crucial.

Yes, you can direct your gift to the area of the University that means the most to you or to the Fund for Brockport. The Fund for Brockport supports the University’s areas of greatest need. It provides the flexibility to address immediate priorities and unforeseen challenges.

Faculty & Staff can sign up for payroll deduction, make a one-time gift, or email Donnie Walters from the Division of Advancement and Communications for a contribution form. No. While important to our local community, the SEFA campaign does not contribute directly to the University. Faculty & Staff giving supports our students, programs, and colleagues. Yes!

About Brockport Foundation Scholarships Scholarships from the Brockport Foundation recognize students for their academic excellence, co-curricular activities, and professional promise. The nearly 350 donor-created scholarships available through the Brockport Foundation recognize students in each of the three academic schools as well as participants in related programs and in many student activities. As part of the State University of New York, Brockport receives state funding and student tuition and fees to pay its expenses. Yet, to help meet student needs beyond what the state is able to provide, Brockport is fortunate to have donors who want to help students. Scholarships Created by Donors The Brockport Foundation is a non-profit fundraising organization affiliated with the University. The Foundation receives funding from donors — alumni, faculty, staff, friends, corporations, and other foundations — that it uses to enhance student experiences. Some donors are featured with their permission in our Scholarship Portal, AcademicWorks. The majority of gifts to the Foundation support scholarships. Annually, the Brockport Foundation awards more than $600,000 in student academic support. The funds dedicated to the Brockport Foundation reflect the favorite programs, majors, or activities of donors. Donors also have thoughts on the qualities an ideal recipient of their scholarship should have. The result? Each scholarship has its own set of criteria, which can include grade point average requirements, year in school, and academic major, among others.

Scholarship recipients should check their Financial Aid & Billing Account to ensure an accurate application and amount of funds. Scholarship Award Disbursement With few exceptions, Brockport Foundation Scholarships applies all awards through Student Accounts and they are typically divided equally between the fall and springs semester. The scholarship office is willing to work with students in applying the award to one semester depending on the scholarship agreement and the reason for the request. For example, a student may request that their award be paid completely in the fall semester, as the student will graduate in December. The exception to the direct application of scholarships to a student’s account is when the donor has requested that the award be paid as a check. Please note that recipients will be provided IRS Form 1099-MISC if they received a check in the amount of $600, or more, and may be subject to report the scholarship(s) as miscellaneous income on their tax return(s). Students should not plan to use scholarships for the next academic year during the summer term unless the scholarship specific states such. The Brockport Foundation announces scholarships in the spring and awards are disbursed in the upcoming academic year. Student applicants should have at least one, preferably two, semesters of study remaining at SUNY Brockport at the time they receive notification of their scholarship.

Letters of Recommendation Brockport Foundation scholarships require at least one, online letter of recommendation for submitted for each applicant. One reason to apply for scholarships early is because some applications require recommendation letters. Asking faculty, current or former employers, or professional colleagues to serve as references provides some of your biggest supporters the opportunity to recommend you. You should obtain agreement from your potential reference, so you are prepared with their name and email address before you begin your application. Decide if your potential reference knows you well enough and how well you know them. Do not ask family, friends, resident assistants, peer mentors, or student peers to provide a reference. You should always give a professional reference provider plenty of time to write a letter on your behalf. Communicate with your chosen reference provider in person or on the phone so they know to be expecting an email from [email protected]. An application that requires reference letters will have a section where you fill in your reference provider’s name and email address. It is important to make sure the email address and name provided is accurate with no errors, otherwise your reference will be unable to submit a letter on your behalf. NOTE: Letters of Recommendation are due at the public application deadline. All references must be submitted through the scholarship portal.

At times, SUNY Brockport students face overwhelming challenges due to unexpected circumstances. The Golden Eagle Opportunity Fund was established to provide financial assistance for current emergency situations, with the intention to support students to continue their education. Emergency situations are beyond the control of students and they can include instances such as death in the family, accident, loss of property, or loss of income. The funds are reserved for students that have exhausted all other sources of funding. The GEOF was established in 2019 as a response to growing needs experienced by students at SUNY Brockport. Throughout its existence, the GEOF benefited from short-term philanthropic support from the Heckscher Foundation for Children and the CARES Act. SUNY Brockport continues to raise funds and be supported by community partners through private donations, primarily alumni and friends, to sustain this fund into the future. Please consult the BPT Basic Needs webpage for information regarding important resources for day-to-day needs such as food and emergency housing.

Gloria Mattera ’52/’55 made a difference in the lives of thousands of migrant farmworkers in western New York State while dedicating herself to further the activities of the Brockport Alumni Association. After graduating from SUNY Brockport with a degree in education, Dr. Mattera began her career as a teacher. She did so at a time when relations between the Brockport community and the college were at an ebb. She helped ameliorate the tensions, working with Dr. Eric M. Steel and Mrs. Helen Johnson Rich through the Brockport Alumni Association. She accepted a faculty position at SUNY Geneseo after earning her master’s degree, and while there, expressed concern over the many children of migrant farmers who were not in school. She developed an educational program for them and began visiting their families to encourage parents to enroll their children. Once programs for children were successful, Dr. Mattera began programs for their parents, offering English, civics, child development, and other classes. As a result, she built the model for a successful center for migrant farmworkers at Geneseo. As her contemporary, the late Jeanette D’Agostino Banker ’53, recollected, whenever Dr. Mattera saw a need, she worked to fill it. She did the same for the Brockport Alumni Association, serving in each elected office and as a member or leader of nearly every alumni association committee. The Brockport Alumni Association in turn recognized her unwavering dedication with its highest honor by inducting her into its Hall of Heritage in 1986. She also established an enduring endowment at Brockport through planning a far-sighted gift that created the Gloria Mattera Scholarship at her passing. Her scholarship recognizes an incoming freshman who is preparing for a career in education. After Dr. Mattera passed away in 1988, Brockport named its planned giving society in her honor.

Endowed funds (scholarships, department or school funds, or faculty chairs) are invested and maintained in perpetuity and have a permanent impact. Each year, a percentage of the investment income earned from endowments — such as interest, dividends, or capital appreciation — is distributed to support the specific purpose designated by the donor. Any remaining income is added to the endowment principal to further strengthen its purchasing power over time. These funds will undoubtedly create a highly visible link between the honoree and the college and serve as a lasting tribute to the namesake. Donors build strong ties with the beneficiaries of their endowment, sharing in the achievements made possible by their gifts. Because endowments are permanent, successive generations of a donor’s family often maintain these relationships and reap the rewards from the honorary nature of their endowment.

Privilege, Parking, and Philanthropy Privilege, Parking, and Philanthropy: What Conner Wolfe ’16 Learned from Brockport In this edition of the Donor Impact Series, Graduate of the Last Decade (GOLD) Conner Wolfe ’16 shares his favorite Brockport memories, what being a GOLD means to him, and why he wants to inspire his fellow alums to support the next generation of Golden Eagles. Conner has challenged all faculty and staff in the History Department to reach 100% participation in this year’s Faculty and Staff Campaign: Celebrating Community, with a gift of any size, to any campus fund. If that participation goal is met, Conner will donate $1,000 to the Department of History Fund. Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and your connection to SUNY Brockport. I graduated from Brockport in 2016…I was a history major. I went to Genesee Community College for two years, not really knowing what I wanted to do. But I found that I really loved my history courses, and while I didn’t know what to do around that as a career, I ended up going with a history major because I liked the content. I absolutely loved the History Department at Brockport. One of the stories I like to tell that I think is really representative of my time at Brockport is of my first class. It was with Dr. Meredith Roman, teaching The History of the Soviet Union, and the first day, first class, she was wearing like three-inch heel leather boots and a Black Power t-shirt. And that was the perfect set up for the rest of my time at Brockport. It taught me so much about people in the world, it showed me a lot of the privilege I had, and the areas I had to learn, and it had a huge impact on my life. While I don’t use the content I learned so much anymore, I use the skills around research, critical thinking, and reading and writing every day with the work I do. Q: When was the last time you visited campus, and how did that feel in comparison to when you were a student? I try to stop by every time I’m in the area, even if it’s just to drive through. I always forget that that road is closed behind Hartwell. Every time, I try to drive through there and I remember I can’t [laughs]. The last time I was back was sometime around the Fourth of July. I mostly wanted a [trash] plate. And when I was done at Jimmy Z’s, I did a drive through campus. Right after I graduated it felt very surreal and different. I don’t have that feeling quite so much anymore, and it seems like campus has changed a good bit with the construction, the renovations and stuff. It’s always fun and good to be back. I was really involved in student government, and for the first year or so after I graduated I would park in the BSG [Brockport Student Government] Reserved Parking spot, just to say that I could. Hey, it was a free place to park without a pass! Q: Do you recall your very first gift to Brockport? I don’t….last year was my first leadership gift of $1,000 or so, and I remember that because I worked with Nicole Dumbleton in Advancement to do the Challenge for the giving day and GOLD Campaign and stuff. And I like to do those challenge gifts because it motivates other people to give and it means my gift has a bigger impact. I mean, I can just write a check and never talk to anybody [about it], but hopefully by inspiring other people to give I can make the most of it, share some of the love, and make other alumni feel as proud about Brockport as I do. Q: What inspired your decision to start giving back, especially so soon following your graduation? So as a student I was really grumpy whenever Advancement would ask me to give, because I had already given so much to Brockport with my tuition. But after I graduated, it started with just giving so I could be counted. Because for better or for worse, that alumni giving percentage matters, as far as college rankings and stuff. But having graduated [grad school] later and looked back and reflected on how much Brockport has changed my life and what a great privilege it’s been for me to attend Brockport, I started to give back to hopefully share that privilege and that experience with other people, so other students and future students can have the same life-changing experiences that I’ve had. And I like to give unrestricted because I know that’s always hard to ask for. Someone has to pay to keep the lights on, and I know most people don’t want to pay for that [laughs]. I think challenge giving is the best way to maximize the impact of my giving by inspiring others to do the same. Q: What impact do you hope your support will have on others? That’s a big question because it’s like, “What should the College’s mission be?” So, I want to make Brockport even better than it was when I was a student and share that experience as widely as possible. I think especially for people from underprivileged backgrounds, who otherwise couldn’t afford the opportunity to attend. Q: What are you most passionate about in regard to SUNY Brockport? I’m just so proud to be an alum. It was a really “woke” campus for me, especially the History Department, they were all about it. Like I said, my first class was The History of the Soviet Union, and that was just crazy to learn about. But then also finding a really supportive environment with BSG and the clubs and other groups on campus, and then eventually throughout the SUNY system. I got to travel and meet students from other schools who were really leading system-wide advocacy to make SUNY affordable and accessible. Q: Why does giving back to your alma mater matter to you? It’s that alumni giving percentage [laughs]. No, only partially. I know it makes the college look good, so I’m happy to give the ten dollars for that. But I try to give back so other people can have the same incredible experience that I had. Q: What inspired you to participate in Giving Day through a Challenge Gift? What was the process like for you in regard to considering the idea of a Challenge Gift all the way through actually doing it? I think I had thought about doing a match or challenge gift previously but didn’t have the means. By 2020, I had been sustainably employed and saved up enough to make a leadership gift. I contacted Nicole about making a gift. Thankfully, she was very receptive to what I was looking to do. On the Giving Day, I messaged just about every alum I could via Facebook and personally asked them to give. We didn’t hit our goal, but I hope I inspired at least some other GOLDs to give. This year, I offered to do another challenge with my leadership gift. [Advancement] came up with the idea of a History Department faculty/staff giving challenge which is something I had already considered. Some of my giving this year will be in honor of Dr. Salahuddin Malik, a much-respected professor of mine who retired recently. I try to not be very picky about what, and how, I give. I trust that the Advancement Division knows what will be most impactful much better than I do some 400 miles away.

Lifelong Learning Course Auditing Program: Spring 2024 Classes begin on January 29 and end on May 10 CRN: 2509 ANT 201.01 ▪ Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Pilapa Esara Carroll ▪ Tues/Thurs ▪ 9:30A-10:45A ▪ [Face to Face] Location: Liberal Arts Bldg 206B ▪ 2 Seats How might learning about other cultures better inform our understanding of our own cultural worlds? This class introduces basic concepts to the study of humanity through the lens of cultural anthropology. We will cover a range of topics from economics and politics to religion and cultural identities with a focus on how different societies view health and wellness. CRN: 2510 ANT 202.01 ▪ Introduction to Archaeology Alexander Smith ▪ M/W/F ▪ 1:25P-2:15P ▪ [Face to Face] Location: Cooper Hall C0003 ▪ 2 Seats This course is an introduction to archaeology, the magical and mysterious discipline that it is. Many of you probably have an idea of what you think archaeology is, and while some of those thoughts may be right, it is perhaps a bit more complicated than you think. This course is designed to be a basic introduction to the history and concepts of the discipline for those personally interested in the subject, as well as those looking to pursue it further. It is also intended to provide a rapid rundown of the major archaeological traditions from prehistoric and early complex societies around the world as well as some of the major modern issues that these studies encounter. We will begin by briefly discussing the methods and practices of the discipline, including how we find objects and what we do with them. From there, we will focus on the archaeological analyses of humans from the birth of humanity to complexity. This will entail a study of Asia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, North America, South America, Mesoamerica and Europe. Get ready for your multi-sited introduction to the world of archaeology!

March 5 Instructor: Stuart Soloway, Fine Arts Series Manager Title: TBD Details: TBD March 12 Instructor: Jack Peltz, Assistant Professor, Psychology Title: The Potential for Sleep-Focused Interventions to Improve the Lives of College Students Details: The majority of college students either do not obtain enough sleep or their levels of sleep disturbance preclude a good night’s sleep. Decades of research have illuminated the process of sleep and the myriad factors that prevent sleep. In addition, extensive research has demonstrated the negative effects that poor sleep can have on students’ mental and physical health as well as their academic performance. This body of literature thus begs the question, what can be done to improve sleep for college students? March 19 Instructor: Austin Busch, Professor, Early World Literature Title: Ancient Christian Explanations of Jesus’s Death Details: The New Testament offers a range of explanations for why Jesus was executed, with different biblical writers disagreeing about both the historical causality and the religious significance of Jesus’s crucifixion. This talk will survey a variety of reasons different New Testament authors give for why Jesus died and will situate the competing explanations the earliest Christian writers offer in their relevant cultural and historical contexts. We will also consider why, with respect to this most crucial issue of Christian theology, the early church tolerated a wide diversity of views rather than enforcing one interpretation at the expense of others. March 26 * It is recommended that you read Timothy Egan’s book titled, “A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan’s Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them” Instructor: James Spiller, Professor, History Title: Racism, Nativism, and the Phenomenal Popularity of the Ku Klux Klan in 1920s America Details: This talk will provide an overview of the best selling history book by Timothy Egan, A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan’s Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them (Penguin, 2023).

The Executive Branch of BSG ensures the overall functioning of the organization. It is composed of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, the activities board including communications, and the office assistants. What is Senate? The purpose of the Legislative Branch is to serve as BSG’s Board of Directors. Our Senate is comprised of 12 Senators that were elected to represent you. There are 8 general Senators and 4 Club Council Senators. General Senators are typically elected by the entirety of the student body during the election season that takes place at the end of the previous academic year. Club Council Senators are elected by the members of clubs within their respective Club Council. Elected Officers of all BSG recognized clubs are also included in the Legislative Branch. All Senators are required to serve on at least 3 committees, which could be any combination of campus wide, faculty, town, or BSG standing committees. Any student may attend standing committee meetings of BSG. Students are also welcomed to attend our weekly Senate meeting which takes place on Friday at 4:00pm, typically in Union 119. What do we do? The purpose of the Judicial Branch is to keep the other two branches in check by making rulings on student court cases. The Student Court consists of 5 Justices, with distinct positions. The positions are the Chief Justice, Associate Chief Justice, Clerk of Summons, Recruiter, and the Recorder. Chief Justice The Chief Justice is the head Justice of the court. This person makes sure that every rule is followed in the court and in BSG and leads the trial if needed. In addition, the Chief Justice runs the meetings and gives a weekly report at the BSG Senate every Friday. Associate Chief Justice The Associate Chief Justice is the second in command. This person helps the Chief Justice with any work that needs to be done and helps delegate work to the other justices if needed. If the Chief Justice is not able to attend the BSG Senate, the Associate Chief Justice is next in line to give the report at Senate Clerk of Summons The Clerk of Summons deals with any Writ of Certiorari that comes to the Court. This person reads over the Writ and makes sure that it was written properly. They then present the information to the other Justices at the Court meeting. In addition, this person must email the Writ to the other justices. Recruiter The Recruiter tries to get more people to take part of the Student Court Justice. This person will set up a table in the Union and talk to all the students about what we do and try to get them to apply to the Court. Recorder The Recorder takes notes at the court meeting and at trial in order for us to have it on record. Also, this person is in charge of our archive to make sure that everything is organized and has a place in our cabinet. Writ of Certiorai The Writ of Certiorai is to be used to formally request judicial action against any member of the Brockport Student Government or a Club Officer of whom is in violation of the BSG Constitution, BSG Bylaws, and/or the individual’s club constitution. Once the Writ of Certiorai is submitted, the BSG Student Court will vote on whether the situation presented has enough evidence to hold a trial. This form can be found in the BSG office (Union 109) or below. On this form, please provide any and all evidence currently pending as to why this individual is in violation of any of the documents listed above.

A Note From BSG For particular issues that you wish to see changed in your community, an important step to take is ensuring that those in charge of these decisions hear you. Don’t email the president because your boss fired you, or your county executive because your neighbor’s dog won’t stop barking. However, if you are concerned about a systemic issue, or more impactfully, a particular bill in the legislative body or an action taken by an executive, then write them a letter, or give their office a phone call. Use the website of any official or government to make sure that your outreach is relevant to their office or jurisdiction. For how to find these officials and their information, keep reading. How to Write to Officials This page from the ACLU offers some basic tips on writing letters to elected officials. This page offers more tips and a formatted sample letter.

A Note From BSG This is not a fully comprehensive list. It is intended to give you a better understanding of how you can get involved in LGBTQIA+ issues in America. We will be updating this site regularly, but it can never be comprehensive. That is why we need your help. If you have any suggestions for content to add or change on our Student Support pages, please send them to [email protected]. Learn A good place to start is Brockport EDI’s resources pages which include information for ally students. Find the locations of all-gender restrooms on campus. Learn more about diversity and inclusion on campus. UC Davis provides a similar list compiled from other sources. These lists show the importance of individuals, and taking time to learn and be vulnerable. There is no one way to solve LGTBQIA+ issues, we all must do our part daily. The Safe Zone Project is also a great resource list which highlights a variety of sources to learn more about this topic. Another great resource list to check out is GLAAD. Bias Reporting and Self-Advocacy Bias Report Brockport’s Bias Reporting form as well as other reporting methods can be found here: Bias Reporting. However, simply reporting incidents will not address systemic issues. At BSG we are here to help students. If you are ever experiencing an issue, the reporting page as well as the Student Government are good resources to use. Contact [email protected] with any concerns or possible ways in which we can better serve you in regards to this, or any, issue. Self-Advocacy PFLAG in an organization that focuses on LGBTQIA+ allyship. They have resources that focus on different aspects of allyship based on your identities or engagement with the issue. One of the best things you can do to understand LGBTQIA+ issues, and to facilitate conversations around this, is by taking a Safe Zone training.

A Note From BSG This is not a fully comprehensive list. It is intended to give you a better understanding of how you can get involved in racial justice issues in America. We will be updating this site regularly, but it can never be comprehensive. That is why we need your help. If you have any suggestions for content to add or change on our Student Support pages, please send them to [email protected]. Learn Experts/Good Reads This list of TED Talks covers a variety of issues within the umbrella of racism and is a great playlist to keep handy when you’re looking for voices of reason in the chaos. This is an excellent article to help inform not only your own views, but to contribute to meaningful conversations surrounding this topic. Another great article is by Kareem Abdul-Jabar who gives an interesting glimpse of one man’s take on the events of early June 2020; an interesting perspective from which to start, especially for someone who might be confused about the protests sparked by George Floyd. Other Resource Lists to Check out Bias Reporting and Self-Advocacy Bias Report Brockport’s Bias Reporting form as well as other reporting methods can be found here: Bias Report Center. However, simply reporting people will not address systemic racism. At BSG we are here to help students. If you are ever experiencing an issue, this reporting page as well as the Student Government are good resources to use. Contact [email protected] with any concerns or possible ways in we can better serve you in regards to this, or any, issue. Self-Advocacy This website, talking about race, features a series of articles about discussing race. While it is important to educate yourself, regardless of your experiences or prior knowledge, it is essential that we engage others in this learning. How we participate in these conversations makes all the differences in effecting change in our country. We do not have to change the world to make a difference, you have to change one mind. This NPR segment/article covers having these conversations with your parents, an important and uniquely difficult form of these conversations. NPR’s Life Kit offers a variety of brief episodes about dealing with racism, self-advocacy, and so much more. This NPR segment features Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility, briefly discussing her thoughts on the movement and some actions you can take. This link is the 21 Day Habit Building Challenge that DiAngelo mentions in that segment. This a great resource to keep up with in committing to doing your own best. This flyer from YWCA captures a good snapshot of how you can play your part in the struggle against racism. You’re already taking most of these steps by engaging with this content, or any other resources you may find, but that can’t stop here. First, as we mentioned earlier, send us any resources you may have. This is a living document and we need your part to make it the best it can be. Second, vote. Third, keep practicing. Everyone, no matter who you are, makes mistakes. That is not any different when navigating difficult conversations or dealing with people who sure seem underserving of any empathy. What matters is that you put yourself out there, in a position to make a mistake, and that you own up to it and learn from it if you do. Engagement Protest Resources A brief article outlining some protest safety tips can be found at this link from the SUNY Student Assembly. A much more detailed overview that covers different aspects of protests and your involvement within them can be found at this link from the ACLU.
