Changing Lives

Through Education

Family Legacies

Dear Friends,

• Lorraine, ’69, and Margaret Samela were raised

by parents who wanted a better life for their children and

believed that goal would be achieved through education.

The Samela sisters chose to honor their parents by

establishing an endowed scholarship for students with

disabilities.

• Marc Nivet, ’92, was driven by his parents’ life story

of pursuing and achieving the American Dream. His path

to success would include earning a degree from Southern

Connecticut State University. Dr. Nivet is giving back to his

alma mater and honoring his parents with the creation of

an endowed scholarship for nursing students.

• Sharon Ort, ’72, has a long family history with

Southern as both a graduate and the wife of a faculty

member who served the university for over 30 years. As a

tribute to her late husband and his passion for teaching,

she established an endowed scholarship for students in the

university’s Honors College who are majoring in English.

The Southern Connecticut State University Foundation

is grateful to these exemplary individuals. We are proud to

feature their inspiring stories, and to salute them for their

trailblazing family philanthropy. In this undertaking they

are following in the footsteps of the Gundersen, Goodwin,

and Stutzman families, whose generosity and commitment

are reflected in the foundation’s record-setting 2010

fundraising results.

The tradition of family philanthropy in higher education

has a long history in this country. However, in the realm of

public higher education, it is only relatively recently that the

requisite philanthropic infrastructure like the foundation,

a separate nonprofit entity, has been in place to encourage

and facilitate private giving. The foundation plays a critical

role at Southern: building awareness of the need for support

and forging relationships within the growing Southern

community of alumni and other donors. This process

unfolds over years — decades, even — so it is a particular

point of pride for such a young philanthropic program that

this tradition is already taking hold.

And not a moment too soon. At this writing in late

2010, it is uncertain how much the level of state support for

public university budgets will again decrease. What is

certain is that public higher education budgets have been

declining over a number of years, not only in Connecticut

but nationwide. As states struggle to find ways to close

yawning budget gaps over the next few years, public

universities are once again being called upon to implement

budget cuts and generally do more with less. As we know,

this is taking place at the exact moment when our students’

need for financial support is rising, due to widespread

joblessness and other factors. It is at that intersection of

trends —increasing need and decreasing state support —

that all of you, the generous donors to the SCSU Foundation,

make a crucial difference in the lives of many. It is at that

intersection that all of us will be called upon to do more if

future generations of students are also to have access to

life-changing educational opportunities.

Despite many challenges, the foundation remains

firmly committed to its mission of supporting Southern

students and programs. It is our hope that the following

pages will inspire you to continue with, or to join us in

that commitment.

Thank you for your ongoing generosity.

Looking AheadThe outlook for 2011 looks bright. “Recent data indicates

that growth continues to trend higher after slipping below 2%

in the spring quarter. Following growth of approximately 2.8%

in 2010, [it] would not be [surprising] if GDP were to advance

at a 3.5% pace or slightly better in 2011 . . . ,” according to

Citizens Investment Perspectives (Winter 2011).

The Foundation Board remains committed to our

long-term investment policy of maintaining a diversified

investment portfolio, with careful and ongoing monitoring

and rebalancing. Our objectives remain to increase resources

available for scholarships and generate programmatic support

and funding for new initiatives.

Year in ReviewFundraising and Financial Highlights

The financial markets showed strong signs of recovering

for 2009-2010 and fundraising has benefited from some

major gifts. Total new gifts and commitments approached

$3.0 million. The Southern Connecticut State University

Foundation’s assets totaled $14.4 million at year end,

representing an increase of 23.4% from the prior year.

During 2010, the market value of Southern’s endowment

reflected a substantial increase of 16.6%, or just under $1.6

million, closing the fiscal year at $10.9 million. This was

primarily a result of significant gifts from several of our

generous benefactors. In addition, the Student Government

Association and other members of the Southern

community established the Cheryl J. Norton Endowed

Scholarship in her honor.

Overall, investment income rebounded by accumulating

almost $3.0 million during the fiscal year; thereby erasing

the $2.0 million loss from the prior year and adding $1.3

million to the foundation’s endowment revenues. Also

helping the bottom line was a decrease in expenditures,

the result of efforts to hold expenses to a minimum.

Inspired by their parents’ belief in the importance of education,

the Samela sisters create a scholarship to honor their memory and

help others earn their degrees.

A Family Tradition

Her father, who hadn’t finished high school, was married

with a newborn daughter when he was drafted in 1943. When

he returned from the war two years later, he was “such a

conscientious provider” that he went straight to a job in the brass

factories in Waterbury, Conn., she says.

But he passed his desire for an education on to his daughters,

instilling in them a passion for learning and the ambition to

pursue professional careers.

“He always said, ‘Don’t make my mistake — make sure you

are able to get an education,’” Lorraine says. “That was his dream.

He wanted our lives to be much easier than his.”

Thanks to their parents’ support and the opportunities offered

by the Connecticut State University System, both women earned

advanced degrees and launched long and gratifying careers in the

teaching profession. Their oldest sister went to nursing school and

spent 40 years working as a nurse.

“Our father was able to send all three of his daughters to

college and educate them to become professionals. It was the state

colleges and their affordability that allowed him to do that,” says

Margaret A. Samela.

To recognize their parents and give back to the university, the

two sisters, who share a home in Old Saybrook, Conn., have

established the Marco and Alda Samela Memorial Scholarship at

Southern. The scholarship will provide financial support for

students with disabilities, in honor of the Samelas’ mother, who

was paralyzed.

This is the first time a scholarship has been offered at Southern

specifically for students with disabilities, says Deborah Fairchild,

interim coordinator of Southern’s Disability Resource Center, which

serves more than 500 students with documented disabilities on

campus.

“We’re really excited now to finally have a scholarship here

at Southern,” says Fairchild. “It acknowledges students with

disabilities and the hard work that they do.”

Lorraine Samela says she understands from experience the

challenges people with disabilities face, having been a caregiver

since she was 13, when her mother became paralyzed after back

surgery. She describes her mother as someone with a strong work

ethic who taught the girls how to sew, cook, and do household

chores, as well as how to persevere in the face of adversity.

Their father, insisting that the girls become self-sufficient,

taught practical skills like how to paint, change a tire, and mow

the lawn.

“They set up strong values,” Margaret says. “My Mom and Dad

were quite inspirational.”

Despite their advocacy for education, however, the parents

worried that their girls’ aspirations might be too “lofty” for the

family budget. It wasn’t until a family friend told their mother

about the affordability of state schools that a college degree

became more than just a pipe dream.

Lorraine says she chose to attend Southern partly because it

was close to the family’s home in Waterbury, Conn., allowing her

to commute and be available to help her mother and younger

sister in the evenings. She earned her undergraduate degree in

elementary education in 1969.

Margaret, 10 years younger, chose Central — mostly because

she “wanted to do something a little different than my sister,” she

says. She graduated in 1979 with a degree in French. Both women

earned masters’ degrees a year after receiving their diplomas —

again at the urging of their father. Margaret also took coursework

at Southern in the early 1980s while working toward her

certification as a Spanish teacher.

Lorraine retired in 2004 from the Waterbury Public School

District, where she spent 34 years working as an elementary

school teacher and vice principal. Margaret taught French and

Spanish at parochial and public schools in Waterbury and

Hamden, Conn. She also worked as an administrator, including

serving as coordinator of the World Languages Program for Old

Saybrook Public Schools. She continues to teach at Old Saybrook

High School.

Lorraine says their father discouraged them from getting

part-time jobs while at school and never asked them for money to

help with college expenses, despite their family’s lean finances.

According to Margaret, he would be thrilled if he knew he

might be helping to put college in reach of someone with

financial difficulties.

“I know he was very, very proud of what we accomplished

through our education,” she says. “I think he’d be extremely proud

to know that a scholarship in his name and honor would be able

to do that for someone else.”

Lorraine and Margaret Samela credit much of their success to their father and his unfulfilled dream.

The factory worker and World War II veteran devoted his life to his family, but he always lived

with a disappointment — that he could have been something more had he furthered his education.

“One of his biggest regrets was that when he came out of the service, he didn’t take advantage

of the GI bill and pursue his education like many of his friends did,” recalls Lorraine A. Samela, ’69.

Paying it ForwardA new scholarship supports Southern nursing students —

and honors immigrant parents who were fully

committed to their children’s education.

“I started wondering what that meant for financial aid, what

that meant for students of lower socioeconomic status,” Nivet

recalls. “Were they going to be afforded the same wonderful

experiences that I had at Southern?”

At the same time, Nivet was searching for a way to give back to

his school, honor his parents, and promote his lifelong mission to

increase diversity — racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic — in

medical education and the health care field. He says he also

wanted to recognize the wonderful nurses who cared for his late

father during his struggle with a decade-long illness.

So Nivet worked with Southern’s Division of Institutional

Advancement to come up with a plan that would achieve all of

those goals.

The result was the Carlton and Verna Nivet Endowed

Scholarship, named in honor of Nivet’s parents. The scholarship

will provide financial support for a student majoring in nursing.

Nivet, who is the newly appointed chief diversity officer for the

Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in

Washington, D.C., credits Southern and the surrounding New

Haven community with helping to shape the person he is today.

That, he says, wouldn’t have been possible without financial

aid, which allowed him to concentrate on his college experience

without having to worry about working his way through school.

“It afforded me the opportunity to get involved in the community.

It afforded me the opportunity to be active in student government.

It was a real opportunity to grow as a person,” says Nivet.

While at Southern, Nivet served as vice president of the Black

Student Union, mentored incoming freshmen in the Student Equal

Opportunity Program (SEOP), and volunteered to work with

inner-city children in public schools in New Haven. “Those

non-classroom experiences really were just as important to me

as the classroom experience, and in some cases probably more

important,” he says.

Nivet went on to earn advanced degrees from Long Island

University (C.W. Post campus) and the University of Pennsylvania

before launching a prestigious career in higher education. Prior to

his position at the AAMC, he served as the chief operating officer

and treasurer for the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation in New York City,

which supports programs to improve the education of health

professionals. Nivet also serves on the SCSU Foundation Board

of Directors.

Nivet says he was always driven by his parents’ life story, a

classic tale of immigrants going after — and achieving — the

American Dream.

“My parents were always striving for better for their children,

and that was such a motivating thing for me as a child to witness,”

he says.

Nivet’s father met his mother after they both immigrated to

the United States from Trinidad in the late 1960s. With no more

than a ninth-grade education, he worked his way through odd

jobs in Manhattan before landing steady employment at an

artist material development company. His mother helped support

the family by working as a dietician at DeWitt Nursing Home in

New York City.

But his father’s long-term plan was to own his own business,

and by 1973 he had saved enough money to open a coffee shop

in the same building where he had been working for the last

four years. He had a ready-made clientele among his many

acquaintances in the building, Nivet says, and the shop was

a huge success.

His father sold the business 15 years later, earning enough

from the sale to move the family from Brooklyn to the suburbs

in Long Island. In the late 1980s, his parents opened Long Island’s

first Trinidadian restaurant, which they ran successfully for

16 years until Nivet’s father’s death.

Nivet says he hopes his parents’ entrepreneurial spirit might

inspire future nursing students who are applying for the

scholarship by reminding them that “their dreams can really be

actualized through perseverance, diligence, and hard work.”

Nivet says he envisions the scholarship going to a student

who not only shows academic promise, but who has overcome

obstacles and demonstrated “stay-to-itiveness” in the face of

adversity. He says students who apply for the scholarship will be

required to write an essay explaining why they believe they are

worthy of the award.

Lisa M. Rebeschi, associate professor and chairwoman for

Southern’s department of nursing, says the department is very

grateful for Nivet’s support.

“Over the coming years, the state of Connecticut and the

nation will be facing a severe shortage of nursing professionals,

especially those prepared at the baccalaureate and graduate

levels,” Rebeschi says. “Scholarships such as the one established

by Dr. Nivet enable students to realize their potential as nursing

professionals.”

When the nation’s financial crisis hit in 2008,Marc A. Nivet, ’92, began worrying about

the fallout on college campuses — especially at his alma mater, Southern.

He’d been reading articles in the news about how endowments were dwindling at colleges

and universities because of the failing economy.

A Teacher’s LegacyA new scholarship honors the memory of

celebrated Professor Emeritus Daniel Ort and furthers his long-demonstrated

commitment to Southern and its students.

Such is the legacy of the longtime English department faculty

member, professor emeritus, and Honors College co-founder,

whose creative approach to teaching not only transformed the

minds of his students, but shaped how they were taught.

As a lasting tribute to her husband, his wife of 50 years

established the Daniel Ort Memorial Endowment at Southern,

a fund that has also received donations from numerous university

colleagues and former students. The fund will provide scholarship

support for students enrolled in the Honors College who are

majoring in English.

“He loved teaching. He loved the interaction with the students,

so the idea of a scholarship seemed an appropriate thing,” says Ort

from her home in Cheshire, Conn., where watercolors painted by

her late husband grace the walls of every room and his published

books sit on the bookshelves.

Ort taught English and comparative literature at Southern

from 1966 until he retired in 1997. He pioneered the concept of

“team teaching” at the university, promoting an interdisciplinary

approach that continues today in the Honors College.

The program for academically gifted students, created in 1982,

features a curriculum organized around themes rather than

specific subjects.

Ort encouraged professors from different departments to work

together, believing a collaborative method would enhance teaching

by merging several distinct perspectives on a topic. The approach,

says his wife, meant not only designing courses spanning

diverse subjects — from literature and the arts to science and

philosophy — but literally having professors teach together in the

same physical space.

Before the Honors College, Ort created the IDEA program in

the 1970s and then in the 1990s launched the SCORE program.

Both brought an interdisciplinary approach to core courses. “He

very much enjoyed that camaraderie with the professors of the

other disciplines,” Sharon Ort says.

In addition to the scholarship, the university dedicated the

Honors College Library in Ort’s memory in March 2010. English

Department Chair Michael Shea, who helped spearhead the effort,

noted the library is used as a community learning room, so it is a

fitting symbol of Ort’s vision.

“His notion of learning needing to happen in a big

community rather than individually between student and teacher

— that was very influential to me,” says Shea, who shared an office

with Ort for more than a decade and considered him a mentor.

“Dan Ort believed we were all learners together.”

Outside the classroom, Ort had numerous talents, from

writing essays, poems, plays, and novels, to acting, filmmaking,

playing musical instruments, and painting — a hobby he took up

late in life. Colleagues, friends, and family members described him

as “larger than life,” someone with a unique knack for finding

humor and wisdom in everyday situations. The New York Times

published many of his musings on daily life as op-ed pieces.

His wife was often a central character.

“He was always trying to grow as a thinker and a creator,”

Shea recalls.

Although Ort struggled with health problems, including

Parkinson’s disease, he always found a way to incorporate life’s

setbacks into his art, says his wife. When he lost control of his

right hand as the Parkinson’s progressed, Ort taught himself

how to paint with his left. If a tic or tremor caused a slip of

the paintbrush, Ort found a way to make the error a part of

his creation.

He once suffered a puzzling and frightening bout of

temporary amnesia that left him so confused he found himself

endlessly repeating a line from a favorite Edward G. Robinson

film. After he recovered, Ort used the episode as inspiration for a

collection of short stories. He entitled the book, “Is this the End of

Little Rico?”—naming it for the infamous movie line. His other

published books include, “Off to See the Wizard,” “My Mother

Always Called Me by My Brother’s Name,” and “Ort Bran.”

Sharon Ort says she hopes the scholarship will go to students

who share her husband’s passion for creativity.

Asked what Ort would think about the effort, she says he

would probably not want a fuss made over him, nor would he

have sought out a space on campus bearing his name. He didn’t

even want a party when he retired, she recalls. But, she says, he

would be pleased about the scholarship.

She comments: “Anything that is in any way helpful to kids being

able to get an education, I think he would have been happy about.”

When legendary Southern professor Daniel Ort died in 2007, a former student wrote

to his wife, recalling the day she earned her first-ever C in his class.

“She was absolutely, totally stressed and indignant about it [initially]. She had never

gotten a C in her life,” Sharon Ort, ’72, recalls. Eventually, she had gotten over the shock

and appreciated her teacher’s criticism. She went on, according to the letter, to sign up for as

many of Ort’s courses as she could because, she said, he taught her “how to think.”
