Dear Alumni and Friends,
This edition’s theme, “Building Healthy Communities,” fittingly describes what goes on in the Falk College. Whether they are learning in the classroom, around the community or throughout the world, we educate our students to bring solutions to the places where they live and work. In the pages ahead, we proudly share stories of our alumni, students and faculty making healthy differences in the lives of others. On a local level, the creativity of a public health alumna instilled healthy eating habits in elementary school children, and a collaborative team is working diligently to reduce adolescent involvement in the juvenile justice system. Featured social work alumni offer fine examples of service to others. Globally, Falk faculty research is making many positive impacts on children, families and communities. Throughout this magazine, you will witness Falk College students, our change agents, who take their roles in building healthy, vibrant communities very seriously.

New bachelor of science in food studies now available
The Falk College recently announced a new bachelor of science degree in Food Studies. The new program, which is now enrolling majors for Fall 2014, provides a thorough understanding of food systems, politics, and economies from production to consumption locally, nationally and globally. Students develop marketable skills, such as data management and analysis, food preparation and presentation, and the ability and knowledge to link these skills to the growing interest in food systems.
...
Students with a bachelor of science degree in food studies might seek employment with government agencies dealing with food and agriculture issues, food-oriented non-governmental organizations that work on sustainability and food security issues, and food processing, preparation and distribution firms. These jobs include positions in program evaluation, policy analysis, marketing and community outreach and project management. The food studies major provides excellent preparation for further graduate studies in social science and legal and policy approaches to food. The presence of extensive kitchens and a professional staff of chefs, combined with nutrition, food policy and public health experts, creates a more diverse and extensive program than is available elsewhere. For more information, contact the Falk College Office of Admissions at (315) 443-5555 or falk@syr.edu.
Falk College offers nation’s first dual master’s degree program in social work, marriage & family therapy
The Falk College now offers a dual master’s degree program in social work and marriage & family therapy. This interdisciplinary program allows students to complete the master’s degree in two distinct professions—the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) and the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Marriage & Family Therapy (M.F.T.). The first dual M.S.W.-M.F.T. master’s degree program in the country, it combines the generalist practice orientation of the M.S.W. foundation and the advanced theory, practice and skills content of the M.S.W. curriculum with the intensive relational clinical training of the M.F.T. degree. The dual M.S.W.-M.F.T. degree will allow students to seek licensure in social work and/or marriage and family therapy in any state in the country to assume a very competitive position for employment opportunities.
...
Job prospects for social workers are outstanding as careers in social work are expected to increase much faster than average for all occupations through 2018. Growth areas are anticipated in gerontology, mental health and co-occurring disorders (substance use disorders and mental health), child welfare, military social work, and health care. According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, marriage and family therapy is one of the fastest growing mental health disciplines. Marriage and family therapy’s prominence in the mental health field has increased due to its brief, solution-focused treatment, its family-centered approach, and its demonstrated effectiveness. For more information, contact the Falk College Office of Admissions at (315) 443-5555 or falk@syr.edu.
Great Cardboard Campout, donation drive on S.U. Quad benefit Rescue Mission
In the past year, an average of 235 people who might otherwise have been homeless stayed at the Rescue Mission shelter nightly. Students enrolled in S.P.M. 101—Personal and Social Responsibility— slept in cardboard boxes for one over night on the S.U. Quad to raise awareness about homelessness. As part of these efforts, they collected personal care items to benefit men using the Rescue Mission shelter in the Syracuse community.
...
Boxes were donated by Syracuse Moving and Storage and Dunk and Bright for the event, and students were only allowed to bring a sleeping bag/blanket, duct tape, and a small pillow— no electronics or other comforts were permitted.

Falk College offers program-specific opportunities for its students. In addition to Professor Middlemiss’ South Africa Immersion Experience, this year’s spring/ summer offerings abroad include:
The Mediterranean Diet (Italy)
This course offers students the chance to experience one of the most renowned cuisines in the world from a food systems level to dietary patterns and health risk. After the on-campus course where students investigate the food habits, cooking and cultural differences by Mediterranean regions, compare the food systems between Italy and the U.S. and evaluate the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, students then travel to Florence to visit the places where foods and wines are grown and produced, and observe differences between an industrialized food sup-ply and a fresh, local, sustainable food supply. Taught by associate professor of nutrition, Tanya Horacek, the course includes new features this year, including the Agriturismo La Ginestra where the students work and have a pizza-making or bread-making lesson using a big open fire place.
Topics in Advanced Social Work Practice and Policy (France, Germany, Switzerland)
This course, led over consecutive years by Professor Nancy Mudrick, offers Syracuse University M.S.W. students the opportunity to study comparative social work services in a specific area of human need by visiting agencies in France, Germany, and Switzerland in the company of social work students from these three countries. U.S. students participate in a one-week seminar in the Alsace/Rhine region of Europe with approximately 40 European social work students, followed by five days in Strasbourg with visits to the Council of Europe and a social work agency, debriefing and synthesis, and touring. In class sessions on the S.U. campus before leaving for Europe, students study the structure of the social welfare systems in the three countries and how each country and the U.S. address the social problem that is the focus of the year’s seminar.
Sport, History and Culture (Australia)
For the third consecutive year, students will explore sport in Australia as well as its rich history and culture. Australia, which is one of the most sport-centric geographies in the world, offers students a chance to visit Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, and Surfer’s Paradise and attend some of the most significant sports events in the world. According to Falk Professor, Rick Burton, who leads the course, students gain many benefits during this program. “International awareness, cultural diversity and an opening of students’ collective curiosity are just some of the many experiences students have. Plus, to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef or surf the break at Currumbin can be, for some, a life-changing experience.”
Olympic Odyssey (London, Paris, Lausanne, Athens)
Led by Falk faculty member, Patrick Ryan, the program begins in London, where students experience the impact of the 2012 Summer Games. From London, students travel to Paris, birthplace of the modern Olympic movement, and on to Lausanne to inspect the present-day “Olympic Capital,” headquarters of the International Olympic Committee since 1915. The group then travels to Athens, home of the ancient Olympics and site of the 2004 Summer Games.
Bernice M. Wright Lab School gets new look with renovations
Syracuse University’s Bernice M. Wright Child Development Laboratory School, which is housed in the Falk College’s Child and Family Studies Program, has undergone a major renovation these past two years. In 2012, the preschool took over occupancy of the entire building at M-17 Lambreth Lane on South Campus. Up until that time, they shared the building with the Art Education Department. Phase One renovations included cosmetic upgrades such as paint, flooring, and carpet. A new heating system was installed, and the main office was relocated to new space. Phase Two renovations included building a new classroom, two new therapy spaces, a kitchen, laundry room, library, storage room, and a large space for gross motor play. Upcoming projects in the planning stages include a major playground renovation to be designed by Rusty Keeler, a well-known playground designer. A new accessible main entrance is also coming soon.
“Changing Sports, Changing Lives” documentary premiere
Students enrolled in S.P.M. 300—The History of Sport focused research on sports that have been adapted to transform and enrich the lives of athletes with physical disabilities. In the fall semester, students worked as a research team, each one taking a specific assignment that became their final projects. In the spring semester, these projects have provided the collected body of research to produce a documentary film entitled Changing Sports, Changing Lives. The film’s world premiere was held on the Syracuse University campus April 28. The one-hour film included a follow-up question-and-answer session and reception. Teaching the course and directing the film is professor of practice, Dennis Deninger, a three-time Emmy Award winner.
Hospitality students host 11th Annual Senior Class Gala
On April 5, students in the Falk College’s hospitality management program hosted the 11th Annual Senior Class Gala, which was themed “The Great Gatsby.” The event included a silent auction to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central New York. In the past five years, the Gala has brought in a total of $14,783 for various charities. This year’s total will make the historical total close to $20,000.
Why we eat what we eat … N.E.P.A. hosts best-selling author, Brian Wansink
The Nutrition Education Promotion Association (N.E.P.A.) in the Falk College’s Department of Public Health, Food Studies and Nutrition hosted Brian Wansink, Ph.D., in February on the topic of mindless eating. His work focuses on understanding how the environment influences an individual’s decision to eat food. His research guides individuals in understanding how they can change eating behaviors and why these changes are so successful.
Wansink is the lead author of over 100 academic articles and books on eating behavior, including the best-selling Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think (2006). His award-winning academic research on changing eating behaviors contributed to the introduction of smaller “100 calorie” packages to prevent overeating, the use of taller glasses in some bars to prevent the over-pouring of alcohol, and the use of elaborate names on some chain restaurant menus to improve enjoyment of the food.
A.S.I. hosts “Social Support and Service Provision to Older Adults: Marjorie Cantor’s Legacy to Gerontology”
The Syracuse University Aging Studies Institute—the collaborative initiative of the Falk College and Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs—held a conference on “Social Support and Service Provision to Older Adults: Marjorie Cantor’s Legacy to Gerontology” in New York City in January. The event recognized the pioneering scholarship of the late Professor Marjorie Cantor that advanced understanding of the lifestyles of older persons, the importance of caregiver support systems, and needs of elders across class and culture.

Stone Fish co-authors Treating Complex Trauma
In Treating Complex Trauma, clinicians Mary Jo Barrett and Falk Family Endowed Professor of Marriage and Family Therapy, Linda Stone Fish, M.S.W., Ph.D., present the Collaborative Change Model (C.C.M.), a clinically evaluated model that facilitates client and practitioner collaboration and provides invaluable tools for clients struggling with the impact and effects of complex trauma. A practical guide, Treating Complex Trauma organizes clinical theory, outcome research, and decades of experiential wisdom into a manageable blueprint for treatment. With an emphasis on relationships, the model helps clients move from survival mindstates to engaged mindstates, and as a sequential and organized model, the C.C.M. can be used by helping professionals in a wide array of disciplines and settings. Utilization of the C.C.M. in collaboration with clients and other trauma-informed practitioners helps prevent the re-traumatization of clients and the compassion fatigue of the practitioner so that they can work together to build a hopeful and meaningful vision of the future. The book is due out this spring.
Stone Fish’s earlier book, Nurturing Queer Youth: Family Therapy Transformed (Norton), is a groundbreaking treatise devoted to advocating for families as safe havens for all children. She has contributed research and theoretical articles to publications including Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, Contemporary Family Therapy, American Journal of Family Therapy and International Journal of Theory and Research. She has authored numerous chapters in books including “Research methods in family therapy” (Guilford), “Revisioning family therapy”(Guilford), and “Handbook of affirmative LGBT couple and family therapy” (Routledge).
Falk College announces new Certificate of Advanced Study in Trauma-informed Practice
This spring, the Falk College announced the availability of a new Certificate of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) in Trauma-informed Practice. The C.A.S. is structured for clinicians, mental health professionals, and practitioners from allied disciplines who intend to expand their knowledge and skills in trauma response and intervention. The C.A.S. in Trauma-informed Practice is comprehensive in scope and will prepare professionals to respond to trauma across a broad scope of origins, symptoms, and systems. The core courses, and elective options, address the theoretical foundations of trauma, as well as evidenced-based trauma-informed practice approaches and techniques. Completion of the Advanced Certificate program alone does not qualify an individual for licensure as a social worker, marriage and family therapist, or any other profession licensed under Title VIII of the Education Law, nor does it authorize a certificate holder to engage in those scope-restricted professions.
...
To learn more about the Falk College’s newly announced C.A.S. in Trauma-informed Practice, which will be available Fall 2014, as well as other C.A.S. programs in Addiction Studies (available Summer 2014), and Global Health and Dietetic Internship, which are both available immediately.

Thwarting a devastating disease
by Kathleen Haley ‘92
In the Amazon port city of Belem, Brazil, David Larsen came to understand the luxury of a few pennies.
...
“About 10 million children under the age of five die every year around the world and most of those deaths occur in the first 30 days of life from infections, sepsis and tetanus, which is vaccine preventable,” Larsen says.
Inspired research
After his work in Brazil, Larsen earned a B.A. degree in psychology, with concentrations in child and adolescent development, from Brigham Young University. He then pursued an M.P.H. and a Ph.D. from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine—inspired by his overseas work and a National Geographic article about the impact of malaria, called “Bedlam in the Blood.”
...
Larsen’s current three-year study involves asymptomatic infections. “When we talk about malaria control, we target interventions toward children but we’re ignoring the asymptomatic infections that are more prevalent among adults. We wanted to look at if we target the source of the infection, could we reduce the amount of transmission that way,” Larsen says.
Scaling up
Larsen, who has traveled to Africa many times, submitted the proposal to the Malaria Control and Evaluation Partnership in Africa (M.A.C.E.P.A.), a program of the nonprofit health organization PATH whose funding comes primarily from the Gates Foundation.
...
Professor Larsen’s research involves a study with the Malaria Control and Evaluation Partnership in Africa, a program of the nonprofit health organization, PATH, in which whole communities are screened—and treated, if needed—for malaria three times during the dry season.

International collaborations focus on child development and health
Research collaborations between Falk College professors Drs. Ambika Krishnakumar, Lutchmie Narine, and Jaipaul Roopnarine and Dr. Carol Logie from the University of the West Indies (U.W.I.) continue to investigate interrelationships among community and family processes, and their relationship to young children’s health and development in Trinidad and Tobago. As a result, this group has published several empirical research papers in peer-reviewed journals.
...
Working with an exceptional research team has furthered Dr. Krishnakumar’s commitment to conducting cross-cultural comparative work. Studies conducted in differing cultural contexts aid the global community in better understanding challenges and strengths of families and communities in other countries while also learning about the experiences of others. On-going work by this research team will be informative in developing community-based, culturally-sensitive intervention programs to benefit children and families.
Reducing adolescent involvement in the juvenile justice system
by George S. Bain G'96
A Falk College research team is helping Onondaga County identify risk factors that indicate when children and youth will cross over from the child welfare system into the juvenile justice system. The team includes C.F.S. associate professor, Matthew Mulvaney, the project director; Rachel Razza, assistant professor of child and family studies; Nancy Mudrick, professor of social work; Keith Alford, associate professor of social work, and; Carrie Jefferson Smith, director and associate professor of social work. All bring diverse perspectives and areas of expertise to the project. Suzanne Wenger, Falk College computer consultant, is developing the database.
...
The initial outcomes of this work were presented in April at the National Society for Research in Child Development Special Topic Meeting: Strengthening Connections Among Child and Family Research, Policy and Practice.
Taking action to prevent childhood obesity
New $4.9 million USDA grant uses social marketing to encourage healthy lifestyles

When De’Marcus Woods ’14 came to Syracuse University, he was committed to impacting the lives of others in positive ways. As a student, he found what it takes to springboard himself toward a powerful, life-changing future, and attributes guidance along the way from the Falk College’s Office of Student Services as one of the reasons he took the right path. Woods came to Syracuse University from Houston as a first-generation college student who brought to campus his love of people. His early years at S.U. included time socializing, singing, as a member of the University’s Black Celestial Chorale Ensemble, and rowing with the crew team.
...
He has worked at Elmcrest Children’s Center and is a social work intern at Edward Smith (K-8) Elementary School in Syracuse. Woods hosts a fifth-grade lunch group at Ed Smith, facilitates the school’s student council meetings, holds one-on-one sessions with students, and talks with parents. It was support from the Dr. Renie Kehres Special Needs Fund that helped Woods pay fees needed to complete his internship application through the Syracuse City School District.

Supporting student success
As a general maintenance worker in Syracuse University’s Physical Plant, East Zone, Paul Longchamps is a familiar face in Sims Hall, the home of the Falk College’s Office of Student Services. In January 2014, Paul and his wife, Karen, began contributing to the Dr. Renie Kehres Special Needs Fund, which he learned about from one of the Academic Learning Coordinators in the Student Services Office.
...
The donations from people like the Longchamps and others are critical. “I am so touched by the generosity of the Longchamps and I know that their donation will touch the lives of students in so many positive ways.” Their gift (together with other donors) has already had made an impact for several students (see story on DeMarcus Woods).
Kehres, who received her B.S and M.S. from the Syracuse University College of Nursing, completed her doctorate in the Falk College’s Department of Child and Family Studies, where she is a faculty member today. As the Falk College’s associate dean of student services, Kehres is keenly aware of the daily academic, social/emotional and financial concerns that students face on a regular basis. In establishing the fund that bears her name, Kehres remembers her own struggles as a first-generation college student on scholarship who worked summers to afford her textbooks and other college expenses. She remembers help from friends and instructors that helped her successfully navigate her college years, and, like the Longchamps, is always looking for ways to pay it forward.
Students can apply for assistance from the fund by filling out an application of need in the Falk College Office of Student Services. To learn more about the Kehres Special Needs Fund and how to donate to it, visit falk.syr.edu.

Dr. Renie Kehres Special Needs Fund
| renie | |
| renie |
The Dr. Renie Kehres Special Needs Fund was established in 2013 to help defray the costs of special needs or emergencies that arise for students in the Falk College. The overall goal of the fund is to help students overcome barriers that could negatively affect their education and, ultimately, their graduation from Syracuse University. These funds may be used for, but are not limited to, such things as textbooks, supplies, emergency travel costs, and any other kind of “special need” that may occur while a student pursues his/her education. The fund is administered through the Office of Student Services. Students may apply for assistance from the fund by filling out an application of need in the Falk College Office of Student Services. Donations can be made to the fund by check made payable to Syracuse University (and mailed to David Salanger, Syracuse University, Falk College, Office of Advancement, 425 White Hall, Syracuse, New York 13224.) or via our secured online donation link at falk.syr.edu.

by Chyna A. Fox ’14
During the Fall 2013 semester, I completed my Child and Family Studies practicum course at W.C.N.Y. Debbie Stack, director of education and community engagement at the public broadcasting station, was my internship supervisor. During my internship, I was able to combine experience with fashion and interactive education to develop an innovative workshop. “Trying on Success” was an hour-long workshop aimed at providing teens with valuable appearance-related information about how to dress for job and college interviews as well as on-the-job. The workshop was first offered at the George Fowler High School on December 4, 2013 with an audience of 36 high school students. “Trying on Success” created an interactive experience with a team building activity in collaboration with Syracuse University’s Fashion’s Conscience student organization. Students were given a series of scenarios for which they needed to style the most appropriate business outfit with clothing provided by 3fifteen Boutique Thrift Shop and donated garments from Falk College. The students displayed their outfits on hangers, presenting to the class their reasons for their selections. Students were also able to take part in a business photo shoot to obtain photographs for future reference on how to dress for success. Throughout the workshop, the teens were extremely engaged, giving the workshop rave reviews on the evaluation forms we created. The 3fifteen Boutique Thrift Shop, an entrepreneurial business of Syracuse’s Rescue Mission, also donated a $50 gift card for use in a raffle for attending students. I was granted the opportunity to return to W.C.N.Y. as an intern for the Spring 2014 semester to generate a second “Trying on Success” workshop.

Gump, Veley named Falk Endowed Professors
In 2011, Syracuse University alumni David B. and Rhonda S. Falk committed $15 million to SU—one of the largest-ever single gifts to the University. As part of their visionary and purposeful commitment to academics as a path to success, which created the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, the Falks also established a series of endowed professorships. These professorships allow the Falk College to support internationally recognized faculty to enhance the research, academic, and experiential components of its programs to advance its mission rich in teaching, research, scholarship, practice, and service. Earlier this academic year, Brooks B. Gump, Ph.D., M.P.H., was named the Falk Family Endowed Professor of Public Health, and Michael D. Veley, M.P.S., was named the Rhonda S. Falk Endowed Professor of Sport Management.
...
Veley spent nearly two decades working as a Division I athletic administrator at Cornell and Syracuse, including 10 years at Syracuse University. He is a three-time National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (N.A.C.M.A.) award winner.
Blending passions for playing, studying sports
by George S. Bain G’96
In the 1990s, many economists disdained sports economics as a field for specialization. But, as someone who had played and watched sports his whole life, Rodney Paul went against that advice he heard in graduate school.
...
“As a friend of mine joked once, I went from being a macroeconomist that did sports (question mark) to a sports economist that did macroeconomics (exclamation point).”
Exploring character development, life skills through sports
How do sports, including the natural socialization that takes place by being involved in them, contribute to a young person’s motivation, resiliency, and self-esteem? C.F.S. 300—Sport and Human Development, which debuted during the Fall 2013 semester, explores the role sports play in positive and healthy youth development. Designed and taught by instructor Terry MacDonald, Ph.D., the course’s objectives are multifaceted to help students learn about the impact of sport-related initiatives, from the history of competitive sports for children and youth to the essential components of sport-based youth development pro-grams, taking into account national and global perspectives.
...
“For their final project, I wanted them to create a sport-based program that was personal: an issue, an unmet need, and developmental perspective in which they were particularly interested or had experience,” explains MacDonald. “The feedback I received was that the sport for development project/presentation as the culminating assignment helped them connect the course topics, challenged them to be creative, and helped them recognize the relevance of sport to their interests and future professions.”
Rachel Razza recognized with 2014 Syracuse University Teaching Award
Rachel Razza, Ph.D., assistant professor, Department of Child & Family Studies in the Falk College, received a Syracuse University 2014 Teaching Recognition Award as part of the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorship Program. This honor recognizes excellence in teaching innovation, effectiveness in communicating with students and the lasting value of courses. She was honored at a ceremony on April 21.
...
Her recent work examines mindful yoga as a potential intervention strategy to enhance self-regulation among young children. This May, she debuted a new course she created entitled, Mindfulness in Children and Youth, designed for undergrads and graduate students as well as practitioners and teachers. The course included online and classroom components and provided students a foundation in mindfulness practice among children and youth. The content focused on the role of mindfulness in child and youth development and its specific benefits.

Alumni: Thank You!
There are countless ways in which you, as alumni of our college, continue to give back. The Class of 2013 gave a record number of gifts to the Class Act Campaign, leading the University and setting a high bar for the seniors who will follow in their footsteps. Our alums have spoken in classes (in person or via Skype), encouraging our undergrads to pursue their dreams, and make their own differences in the world. You’ve shared job, internship, and capstone opportunities. You’ve mentored students and by “paying it forward,” set the example that we hope all of our undergrads will follow. You’ve given of your time, talents, and financial support and for that, we are sincerely grateful. Keep it comin’!

Lori Ayanian ’59, nursing career complemented by volunteer leadership in community health
Lori (Chesna) Ayanian ’59 died of complications of heart disease November 19, 2013. A resident of Matawan, she was born on June 10, 1936 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She received her bachelor of science in nursing from Syracuse University in 1959, where she was elected to the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. She worked as a nursing instructor at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania before she and her husband of 54 years, Zaven S. Ayanian, MD, moved to Matawan to join Matawan Medical Associates and raise their family.
At the service celebrating her life, Dr. Ayanian shared details about a scholarship that was created, thanks to Lori’s vision. He noted, “when we were approaching our 25th anniversary, I asked what sort of special thing she would like to do to celebrate, thinking she would be interested in taking a cruise or a special vacation. She immediately responded that she would like to endow a graduate nursing scholarship in honor of Dean Edith Smith at Syracuse University.” At that time, Dean Smith was retired for many years and in her early 90s. “With substantial initial funding we did just that. Together with some other alumni, and the now-retired dean who the fund honors, we have made additional contributions to the Dean Edith Smith Scholarship Fund, which now goes on in perpetuity.”
Dr. Kay Moeckly Wiggins, professor emerita of nursing
Kay Moeckly Wiggins, Ph.D., was a groundbreaking scholar, educator, and administrator during a career of more than 40 years in nursing education, lovingly guiding the growth and accreditation of the College of Nursing at Syracuse University. She passed away on June 2, 2013 at her home on Bainbridge Island, Washington. She graduated from Britton High School in 1952, Texas Christian University in 1956, received her master’s degree in nursing education from New York University in 1963, and earned her Ph.D. in child and family studies in 1983 at Syracuse University. Kay was a revered member of the College of Nursing faculty from 1964- 1995, and was honored with professor emerita status upon her retirement. Countless S.U. nursing alumni attribute their expertise in maternal child health to Kay Wiggins. She was a trusted and beloved advisor to hundreds of aspiring and established nursing professionals throughout her career and afterward. A memorial service was held June 28, 2013 at Hendricks Chapel.

Dear nursing alumni
Again this fall, we were pleased to welcome nursing alumni to Orange Central 2013, Syracuse University’s annual weekend celebration of its graduates across the decades.

Syracuse was first—and only—choice for Helen Duryea ‘48
“I only applied to one school: Syracuse University,” recalls Helen Young Webster Duryea, ’48, Home Economics. In 1944, a friend in her first year of study at SU invited Duryea to visit for a long weekend. She attended some classes and labs, and got an enjoyably convincing view of campus life in that short time. “I was so impressed and excited when I came home, and asked my parents if I could send in an application for admissions. They were happy to say ‘yes.’”
...
Pictured in this section: Helen stands in front of Marshall Cottage, January 1947, with Tri-Delt sorority house in the background.
Editor’s note:
In 1917, the School of Home Economics began as a course in the former College of Agriculture. The School of Home Economics opened in 1918, and in 1921, it became the College of Home Economics. In 1971, the College of Home Economics was re-named the College for Human Development. The College consisted of four departments: Environmental Arts, Growth Science, Consumer Studies, and Family and Community Services. In 2001, the College for Human Development, the College of Nursing, and the School of Social Work merged to become the new College of Human Services and Health Professions. The department of Retail Management and Design Technologies merged into the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Since 2001, the College of Hu-man Services and Health Professions has undergone two name changes. The first change was made for the entity to become the College of Human Ecology in 2008. In 2011, The Falk College was named in recognition of generous support from Syracuse University alumni, David B. Falk ’72 and Rhonda S. Falk ’74. Its academic programs have strong roots in Syracuse University history. The College of Nursing had existed since 1943. The School of Social Work has existed since 1946, and the College for Human Development was originally founded as the College of Agriculture in 1917.

It’s about our students!
As you’ve read throughout this magazine, plans are well underway for the Falk College’s relocation in 2015. Since early fall, discussions have centered around how our academic and administrative functions can best fit into existing offices and classrooms, and where renovations or new construction are needed. One of Dean Murphy’s priorities, which is shared by our planners and architects, is identifying the ideal configurations and designs to best meet student learning needs today and well into the future. Several ideas to give students hands-on experience using technologies and equipment scenarios that simulate the real-world environments they will encounter in their respective professions are being discussed.
