KEEP SUNY-Shine INFORMED
SUNY-Shine needs your help! In order for the fund
to be effective, information about persons who are hospitalized,
weddings, births, deaths, exceptional hardships, etc., need to be
reported. Please do not assume that someone else will provide the
information to the SUNY-Shine Committee. If anyone on campus has
information that the SUNY-Shine Committee needs to be aware of, please
take the time to phone Rose Thomas at x2748, or send a note to the
Community Relations Office, 301 Netzer Administration Building. Funding
for SUNY-Shine is made possible on an annual basis through gifts and
grants to the College Foundation.
OFF-CAMPUS USE OF COLLEGE OWNED EQUIPMENT
Faculty and staff are reminded that off-campus use of
equipment without appropriate approval is unauthorized. Inquiries
regarding the established approval process for off-campus borrowings
should be directed to Janet Frankl, Milne Library, Room B217, at
x3227
(or email: frankljl@oneonta.edu). Technology Services in IRC has
independent authority to grant approval for equipment under its
jurisdiction.
EQUIPMENT MOVEMENTS
Faculty and staff should be aware that the College is
required by the State Comptroller to maintain accountability for its
equipment at all times. This means that current records must be
maintained regarding the location of all equipment with an original
acquisition cost of $1,500 or greater. We continue to experience
particular difficulty with control of computers and related equipment;
this equipment is often moved between buildings and departments without
appropriate notification to the Property Management Office. This
unnecessarily complicates the annual reinventory process (for the
Departments involved and for Property Control) and jeopardizes the
otherwise positive outcome the campus would normally achieve upon audit.
When equipment movement has or will take place, please either: (1)
initiate an EQUIPMENT MOVEMENT REQUEST so that college service personnel
can carry out and document the move, or (2) notify the Property
Management office in writing at Milne Library, Room B217 ( or email:
frankljl@oneonta.edu) providing the SUNY-Oneonta
decal number,
manufacturer's serial number, previous and new locations. Your
cooperation will be greatly appreciated. For further information, please
contact Janet Frankl at x3227.

Congratulations to the College on the successful completion of the NEH Challenge Campaign for the Cooperstown Graduate Program in History Museum Studies. The NEH award granted SUNY-Oneonta $200,000 with the challenge to raise $600,000, in four years. The goal has been exceeded raising $640,000 so far with more coming. The funds will support The Scholarships for Students, the Louis C. Jones Scholarship Fund, will distribute $40,000 in this academic year. The Rural Urban Partnership pairs students for summer internships with the best museums and gives them wonderful experiences working with diverse urban communities. The CGP provides a stipend to support living in the city and working at the museum. This year two students are already taking advantage of this program. One student, Perry Price is working at the Newark Museum in Newark, New Jersey. The other student, Rosemary Hall is a development intern with Historic New England in Boston. The Bruce Buckley Lectureship enables us to bring a nationally recognized folklorist to Cooperstown each Spring to work with the students and teach them about field work and to give a public lecture. The lectureship honors Bruce Buckley the first director of the Cooperstown Graduate Program and a folklorist from the University of Indiana. The funds raised came from alumni and friends of the program and the generous donations of leadership donors; namely, the Emerson Foundation, Scriven Foundation, Snow Foundation, Jim and Cheryl Gold, Margaret B. Parsons, Cooperstown Graduate Association and that well known donor anonymous. For information, contact Gretchen Sullivan Sorin, Cooperstown Graduate Program at 547-2586.
