  • Presidential Search Update

    I want to give you this update as part of our ongoing efforts to keep the 网曝黑料 community well informed about the progress of the Presidential Search.

    The Search Committee continues to work closely with our search partners, WittKieffer, during this active recruitment stage of the search. Since early April, our partners at WittKieffer have posted advertisements in various publications and venues and contacted potential candidates and nominators for our new President. In this type of search, top candidates may not be actively seeking a University Presidency but will be recommended by sitting Presidents, Provosts, Deans and other professionals who believe they are a good match after hearing the compelling 网曝黑料 "story".

    We held a Search Committee meeting last week with Wittkieffer, during which they provided us with an update on the recruitment process. 网曝黑料's reputation is strong and applications are now coming in from a wide range of candidates. WittKieffer will continue to recruit through May, after which they will present candidates to the Search Committee. We will then meet to review the applications of all candidates and select a group of 8-12 individuals to invite for first-round interviews via Zoom, ensuring their identities remain confidential.

    Thank you again for your participation thus far in the search process. We are eager to review candidate applications and will provide another update in the weeks ahead.

    Sincerely,
    Kate Madigan

  • Campus mourns Thomas Wallace Donnelly, former professor of geology

    Thomas Wallace "Nick" Donnelly, former professor of geology, died in Endwell, N.Y., on May 7.

    Born in Detroit, Mich., in 1932, Donnelly spent most of his early years living at several military bases across the U.S. before ending up in Washington, D.C., while his father served in the War Department. He later went to Cornell University, where he earned his bachelor's in geology; he continued his education at Caltech, where he met his wife, Ailsa Jean MacEwen, and completed his master's degree.

    Donnelly moved to New Jersey, to complete his doctorate at Princeton University. He then went to Houston, Tex., where he taught geology at Rice University. In 1966, Donnelly moved north to 网曝黑料. He retired in 1996.

    Donnelly's work took him all over the world, including several deep-sea drilling projects aboard the Glomar Challenger. Although he spent his professional career as a geologist, his lifelong passion was the study of odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), and he spent his retirement as an entomologist. He collected and described dozens of newly discovered species and helped found the Dragonfly Society of the Americas.

    A remembrance of Donnelly's life will be held at a later time. Click the link below to learn more.

  • "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy": Feb. 27-June 14

    The 网曝黑料 Art Museum presents "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy," organized by The New York Historical, on view from Feb. 27-June 14, 2025.

    The exhibition explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics and race. Monuments offer a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage and a maquette of New York City鈥檚 first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered and removed.

    "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy" is curated by Wendy N'lani E. Ikemoto, vice president and chief curator at The New York Historical. The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at 网曝黑料 by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean鈥檚 Office, the 网曝黑料 Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz 鈥78.

    Also opening in the Mezzanine Gallery is "Existential Color: Photography from the Permanent Collection," organized by John Tagg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History, and Luisa Casella, photograph conservator and Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation. In 1976, John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, hailed the arrival of a 鈥渘ew generation of color photographers鈥 who saw color as 鈥渆xistential,鈥 鈥渁s though the world itself existed in color.鈥 This 鈥渘ew generation鈥 included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in 网曝黑料 Art Museum鈥檚 photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski鈥檚 notion of a decisive break holds up or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.

    In the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries, three small exhibitions will also open: "Chiura Obata: Japanese Art in America," curated by Yao Shen He 鈥27; "History and Myth: Violence in Early Modern Prints," curated by Leah Dascoli 鈥26; and "Japanese Design and the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York," curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    For details on upcoming programming, see the Art Museum's 鈥淓vents鈥 page at the link below and on social media. All events are free and open to the public.
