SUNY Delhi’s Veterinary Science Technology, the premier program of its type in the United States, celebrates a historic milestone—its 50th anniversary.

Established in 1961 as Animal Science Technology, the program was soon recognized as a trendsetter. A February 1967 article in Veterinary Economics quoted Professor William M. Farnsworth, SUNY Delhi’s Dean of Agriculture, who said, “We have found that approximately two-thirds of the graduates to date have accepted technical positions ancillary to veterinary medicine and the biomedical field. As the contributions of these graduates become better understood, it will bring growth. We are confident that the program will be a continuing part of the curriculum at Delhi.”

Farnsworth, known as the father of SUNY Delhi’s Veterinary Science Technology, received assistance from Robert D. Farrell, DMV, of Mount Upton in helping design the initial program. The program gained critical financial support through federal grants authored by faculty member Dr. Winfield Stone, who was also responsible for initiating the lab animal component. Graduates like Walter Collins ’50, DMV, then took the program to new heights, according to Dan Walsh, a 1975 graduate and former faculty member.

“Walt Collins adopted Delhi’s concept of veterinarian technicians, fostered it, nurtured it and started it on its way to the profession it is today,” says Walsh. “Walt was a true pioneer whose persistence led to the success of Delhi’s Veterinary Science Technology program.”

The Class of 1970 carried on that pioneering spirit. They rallied at state and federal levels for technicians to be licensed. That fight continued into the 70’s before graduates gained recognition as licensed technicians. Today, the program is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) with nearly 300 students pursuing associate’s and bachelor’s degrees.

Delhi’s investment in outstanding facilities has helped the program keep its competitive edge. Farnsworth Hall, dedicated in 1980 as one of the country’s most sophisticated laboratory facilities in the field, continues to provide cutting-edge technology.

Farnsworth Hall also houses a primate colony, which makes Delhi the only associate degree program in the nation with this special learning lab. The primate colony owes delhi.edu 32 Spring/Summer 2011

The February 1967 issue of Veterinary Economics calls Delhi’s Veterinary Science Technology program a new trend in education.

its origin to Ken Pyle, a 1969 graduate who saw it as an opportunity to prepare Delhi graduates for specialized research learning. “Unique features like the primate colony are what separate Delhi from other programs,” says Professor Pyle.

Professor Pyle also notes how Delhi’s partnership with Delaware County’s Heart of the Catskills Humane Society provides service learning opportunities for students. Students work with shelter animals through socialization and care. “This reciprocal relationship makes the animals better pets and in turn exposes students to a variety of animals,” he adds. “It’s a win-win for everyone.”

In addition to its local connection, the program’s reputation attracts many corporate and educational partnerships. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals supports $10,000 in student assistantships annually. The college has also received generous support from companies such as Welch Allyn, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Charles River, Taconic Farms, Purina and Hills.

Delhi’s commitment to Veterinary Science Technology is reflected in the college’s new Master Plan, which calls for an addition to Farnsworth Hall. The addition and renovations to Farnsworth will bring the building up to an LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standard.

“Delhi’s program has always stood head and shoulders above the rest,” says Dan Walsh. “Delhi’s Veterinary Science Technology offers an unparalleled caliber of education. It is why graduates are prepared to successfully transition to stellar institutions such as Cornell or Purdue.”

When American Express needed to know more about marketing to a younger demographic, the industry leader turned to SUNY Delhi to explore its options.

Rachael Signer ’98, manager of American Express U.S. Representative Travel Network and a member of Delhi’s Hospitality Management Alumni Advisory Council, approached Dean Michael Petrillose ’77 about engaging Delhi students in a market research project for her company. “I am fortunate to meet regularly with students at the college’s advisory council meetings,” says Signer. “A reoccurring question they ask is ‘How can I gain professional experience?’ This prompted me to ask myself what I can do to help.”

Signer’s answer was a real-life project that would give students the opportunity to conduct research, make recommendations, and present their findings to senior leadership.

She collaborated with Dean Petrillose and classmate Assistant Professor David Brower ’00 to develop an independent course for 12 select students who would work at the American Express travel center in Cambridge, MA.

The students studied a target audience of 18-to-35 year-olds, observing their consumer behavior, reviewing relevant literature, and researching area colleges and universities. Based on their research findings, students made recommendations on tactics American Express could implement to reach the target audience.

“The project was comparable to a graduate-level course,” says Dean Petrillose. “Our students rose to the challenge. American Express was very impressed with their findings.”

The project allowed Delhi students to connect with an industry leader and show their ability to conduct top-notch market research. According to Dean Petrillose, it will undoubtedly lead to summer employment and job opportunities for Delhi students.

“In today’s job market, it’s extremely difficult to get your foot in the door,” says Dean Petrillose. “Our students were able to work hand-in-hand with top American Express executives. American Express was so impressed that they want to continue the partnership so that Delhi students and the company can continue to benefit for years to come.”

SUNY Delhi achieved an impressive student success rate of 88.6 percent for its four-year programs and 75.2 percent for its two-year programs, according to a recent report by the State University’s Office of Institutional Research and Analysis. The student success rate is defined by the percentage of first-time, full-time students who either graduate or transfer to pursue a college degree.

“SUNY Delhi has earned a solid reputation by emphasizing academic excellence, innovation, and hands-on experience,” says Provost John Nader. “The college has focused on boosting retention rates and selectivity more recently and these efforts are producing results.”

SUNY Delhi’s enrollment has been on the rise for the last five years with a record number of 3,331 students enrolled this fall, the highest total in college history. The previous all-time high of 3,183 students was set in Fall 2009.

Applications to SUNY Delhi have increased by more than 65 percent over the last five years, reaching a record level of more than 6,556 applications for enrollment in Fall 2010.

Farrell Dedications Honor AlumniDouglas R. Okun ’62 was recognized for his special contributions to the Farrell Student and Community Center with the formal dedication of The Okun Theatre on September 24. A construction technology major who went on to become a nationally renowned architect, Okun provided the conceptual design for the new Farrell Center as a gift to his alma mater. Okun is pictured with President Candace Vancko at the unveiling.

On October 29, the college dedicated the Farrell Exercise and Dance Studio to recognize a naming gift by Theresa Molloy ’80 (pictured). Molloy is Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Euronext’s Corporate Client Services division. In that capacity, she creates and develops products and services offered to the NYSE’s roster of over 2,000 listed companies worldwide.

Delhi Student Named Top VolunteerBenjamin Van Duesen (left), a construction management major from Delancey, was recognized as the 2011 top volunteer for the eastern United States by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Alumna Returns to Share Business ExperienceKathryn Consentino ’66, a secretarial science graduate, shared her business acumen with Delhi students in November. Ms. Consentino serves as Director of Valuation and Advisory Group for Grubb & Ellis Company, a commercial real estate advisory firm that reaches worldwide.

SUNY Delhi now offers a four-year degree program in Construction Management: Design and Build, following approval by the State University of New York and the New York State Education Department.

“Delhi offered the first construction curriculum in America beginning in 1933,” says Provost John Nader. “We built on the program’s historical strengths to create a new baccalaureate program that responds to the employment needs of the industry.”

The Construction Management program was initially introduced as an option of its Architecture Design and Building program in 2006. Due to overwhelming placement of graduates—100 percent found jobs following graduation—the college pursued approval to offer it as an academic major.

Graduates are qualified to proceed directly to employment as entry-level field superintendents, project managers, estimators, project engineers, field engineers, schedulers/expeditors, and field inspectors, or they may start their own construction business. They may also pursue a Master’s in Construction Management, MBA or a graduate-level degree in another field.

Construction Management majors install a water fountain on the Delhi campus as part of their classroom work.

Error Yields Positive ResultBy Joel Smith, Director of College Advancement

Shortly after the Fall 2010 edition of Delhi Horizons was published, I learned I had made a tragic mistake.

Darryl Sheetz ’74 called and left a message saying he was shocked to open the magazine and see his brother Donald ’67 listed among alumni who had passed away. I was dumbfounded. I had met Darryl in August when he stopped by President Vancko’s office during a visit to the area. It was the first time he had returned to campus since graduating. He was effusive with his praise for the role SUNY Delhi has played throughout his life, which has included a distinguished legal career. He also shared with us the heart-breaking tale of how his brother had passed away while visiting a former Viet Nam colleague. Knowing that his brother Donald ’67 was a Delhi alum with whom we had lost touch, I returned to the office and had Don added to the In Memoriam section of Horizons.

It was with great trepidation that I returned Darryl’s call. Darryl confirmed the story I recalled, but said it was his other brother, John III, who had passed away. Unnerved by my mistake—the first of this type in my 30 plus years in the profession—I explained that I would call Donald to apologize and make amends. Darryl was very understanding and supportive. But I still faced making a very difficult phone call.

My fears were soon put to rest. Donald Sheetz was extraordinarily gracious about the situation. We spent more than 25 minutes talking about SUNY Delhi. Like his brother, Donald was ecstatic about his SUNY Delhi education and its impact on his career successes. When we were done, I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. My mistake opened the door for SUNY Delhi to reconnect with an alumnus. I continue to talk to Don and Darryl, and I look forward to the day when I can meet Don in person and deliver my apology firsthand.

Yes, Donald Sheetz is alive and well and thriving in Newport Coast, CA. SUNY Delhi is delighted to have discovered him and reconnected.
