efore becoming California University’s first
special assistant to the President for Equal
Employment and Educational Opportunity
(EEEO), alumna Dolores “Dolly” Rozzi ’64 positively
influenced countless individuals working in government
and at Cal U.
Her distinguished career both on and off campus has
earned her the University’s Medallion of Distinction.
Rozzi, who now lives near Huntingdon, W.Va., was
honored Nov. 22 at a luncheon in the Kara Alumni
House
Originally from nearby Stockdale, Pa., Rozzi had a
successful career in Washington, D.C., before she
returned to her alma mater. She worked with Adm.
James D. Watkins, who spoke at a Cal U
Commencement because of her connection to the
University. She also worked with Clarence Thomas,
now a Supreme Court Justice, during her tenure as
director of the Office of Federal Operations at the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission.
Rozzi was the U.S. Department of Energy’s director
of management and administration, overseeing more
than 2,000 workers, prior to accepting the position at
Cal U in 1996.
“I always tell people that I went to a small college in
a small town, and I achieved the highest level you could
achieve in the federal government,” Rozzi said.

University’s Auditors Report Good News

C

alifornia University’s auditors
had good news for University
Trustees at their final quarterly
meeting of 2009.
By boosting enrollment and
controlling expenses, the University was
able to end the year with an increase in
net assets of about $1.5 million.
“Some of your sister schools in (the
State System of Higher Education) are
feeling the effects of the bad economy,
while you are capitalizing on some of
the opportunities that are out there,” said
David Capitano of accounting firm
Parente Beard LLC.
The combination of greater
enrollment and higher tuition and fees
made the biggest difference in the bottom
line, increasing assets by 11 percent, the
auditors reported. At the same time,
University expenses rose by just 5
percent.
“These two elements must go hand in
hand,” Capitano said. “You have found
the right formula here.”
The annual audit report is presented
to the Trustees each December. Federal
stimulus dollars helped to compensate
for cuts in state allocations in 2008-2009
and again this year, their report noted.
While applauding the University’s
fiscal management, Capitano urged the
Trustees to plan ahead, since there is no
guarantee that state allocations will
rebound once the stimulus funding ends.
In other business:
The Trustees unanimously approved
a request by President Angelo Armenti,
Jr. to present an honorary doctorate to
Carol B. Mitchell ’72, ’75. Mitchell is
president and CEO of Verland, a
nonprofit organization dedicated to
caring for individuals with special needs.
Winter Commencement ceremonies will
be held Dec. 18 for graduate students
and Dec. 19 for undergraduates.

As part of the Trustees’ final quarterly meeting of 2009, Cal U’s auditors reported that the
University has increased its net assets by boosting enrollment and controlling expenses.

Provost Geraldine Jones reported on
two accreditations. The Department of
Art and Design has been accredited by
NASAD, the National Association of
Schools of Art and Design. The
department offers a B.S. in graphic
design, a B.A. in art, a Bachelor of Fine
Art degree and a B.S.Ed. in art
education.
In addition, the Bachelor of Science
in Industrial Technology degree program
has been re-accredited by ATMAE, the
Association of Technology, Management
and Applied Engineering.
Although it is labor-intensive for
faculty and more costly for the
University, “providing nationally
accredited programs is very appealing
and beneficial to our students,” President
Armenti told the Trustees.
Dr. Lenora Angelone, vice president
of student development and services,

reported on Cal U’s programming for
veterans. Enrollment of current and
former military members is at an all-time
high, she said, and the new Post 9/11 GI
Bill makes it likely that Cal U will have
nearly 300 veterans on campus by the
2010-2011 academic year.
Prior to the meeting, the Trustees
were introduced to Veterans Center
director Robert Prah, who recently
returned from active duty in Iraq, and
Donald Wall, who served as the center’s
interim director while Prah was
deployed.
Angelone’s report also highlighted
Homecoming and the success of Cal U’s
athletics teams.
Angela Burrows, vice president for
university relations, presented a video
explaining strategies behind the new Cal
U website, to be launched publicly on
Jan. 18. Now under construction, the site

is being created in collaboration with
BarkelyREI, an interactive marketing
agency based in Pittsburgh.
“Creating a site that meets the needs
of the end user, while at the same time
serving University goals and objectives,
was always our ‘end in mind’ for this
effort,” she said.
Burrows also reported that materials
created by the marketing and public
relations teams won three awards from
CASE, the Council for Advancement
and Support of Education.
Reporting for the Office of
Development, President Armenti
remained optimistic, although total
first-quarter giving for the 2009-2010
fiscal year has declined in comparison
to last year.
“All in all, the quarter is not what
we would have liked, but as the various
economic indicators improve, I think
you will see a turn-around,” he said. “I
think before the end of the fiscal year
we will catch up to, if not exceed, last
year’s total.”
In this first report to the Trustees,
Dr. Charles Mance, vice president for
information technology, displayed a
new organizational chart for his
department and outlined its goals.
Already his team has consolidated
and improved the computer help desk,
installed anti-spam software on
University computers and streamlined
the daily e-mail announcements.
Mance stressed his commitment to
customer service, and to giving
students, faculty and staff an IT
infrastructure that is both robust and
secure.
“Cal U is a special place,” he said.
“We want to raise the quality of our
service to the highest level.”
The next meeting of the Council of
Trustees is scheduled for March 3.

Webinar on Cal U for Life
Draws More than 400

M

Bill Brown, head men’s basketball coach for 14 years, becomes the 29th coach in NCAA
Division II to win more than 400 career games.

Coach Marks 400th Career Win

B

ill Brown, head men’s basketball
coach at Cal U for 14 years,
earned his 400th career collegiate
victory on Dec. 1 when the Vulcans
opened their home season with a 68-62
win over Lake Erie College.
With that win, Brown became one of
only 29 active NCAA Division II head
coaches to reach the 400-win plateau.
Through Dec. 5, Brown — the
winningest coach in the program’s
history — owned a career record at Cal
U of 276-111 (.713) with an overall
coaching mark of 401-238 (.627).
Before coming to Cal in 1996, Brown
was head coach at Kenyon College in
Ohio and at Sacramento State University
in California.
At Cal U, Brown has guided the
Vulcans to eight PSAC-West titles, two

2

conference championships, and six
NCAA Division II appearances with an
Elite Eight appearance in 2008.
He has been named PSAC-West
Coach of the Year five times and the
National Association of Basketball
Coaches Regional Coach of the Year
twice in the past three years.
He and baseball coach Mike Conte
have been at Cal longer than any other
head coaches, with the exception of
men’s soccer coach Dennis Laskey, a 25year veteran.
“Coach Brown has been very loyal to
our athletic program, and every year his
team contends for conference and NCAA
championships,” said Dr. Tom Pucci, Cal
U’s 19-year athletic director. “His record
clearly shows that he is among the elite

teaching, and Dr. Holly Diehl, an assistant professor
in the Department of Elementary and Early
Childhood Education, coordinated the event.
“Last spring I went to a conference at Slippery
Rock University where they had a dozen studentteachers do a similar thing. They were selected from
various universities, and I thought that what was good
for them would be good for all of us,” Engstrom said.
Diehl also had experience coordinating a similar
event for a select group of students at Cal U.
Faculty, other students and other professionals —
including those who may be interested in filling
teaching positions in their districts — were among
those who viewed the presentations and talked with
the student-teachers.
“We’re actually killing about 17 birds with one
stone with this event, including using it as a
recruitment opportunity,” Engstrom said.
He noted that current students who have not yet
done their student-teaching had an opportunity to see
what kind of work will be required of them.
Also, he said, “faculty will be reviewing the
posters, and we’ll use that data to see how Cal U is

doing at educating the educators. If they don’t know
how to align assessments with standards, then that’s a
problem for us and we need to see where we need to
address that within our program. A lot of times we
know we taught it, but this is a great way to see that
the students actually know how to do it.”
Melissa Nelson, a graduate student with dual
majors in elementary and special education, and
Matthew Stockberger, who is pursuing a Master of
Arts Teaching in mathematics and physics, both said
the poster presentation project was worthwhile.
“This is a great representation of what we are
going to be doing on a regular basis,” Nelson said.
Stockberger noted the importance of constantly
assessing whether students are learning. “I’ll do a
conclusion at least three times a day, and if I see they
don’t ‘get it,’ I know I have to go back and reinforce
the concepts.”
Dr. Kevin Koury, acting dean of the College of
Education and Human Services, addressed the
students at the start of the daylong showcase and
reinforced the idea that educators must never stop
learning how to be better teachers.
“I encourage you to continue to be researchers in
the field of education,” he said.

President Angelo Armenti, Jr. said Cal U is proud to
have Rozzi as an alumna, and he emphasized her role
at the University in the late 1990s.
“Dolly is a very special, loyal person and did our
University a great service by teaching us about sexual
harassment,” he explained. “We understood the law but
not the standard the EEOC uses.
“She taught us that we are responsible for the
behavior of all our employees. The system that she
established here is the one we still have. It is also a
model for the State System of Higher Education.”
Today Rozzi serves as president of an AARP
chapter in West Virginia, and she is known as a
humorous and motivational speaker.
At the luncheon, she joked about using an expletive
while vigorously fighting for the rights of a female
Navy officer and engineer whose promotion hinged on
her ability to serve aboard ship, a role prohibited to
women.
“She finally served on a ship and got her
promotion,” Rozzi said. “Years later I saw on television
that women were still not allowed on a ship. I was
stunned. I thought I had broken a barrier and made a
monumental change in the government, but all I did
was get one woman promoted and a couple of weeks of
sea duty.”
Rozzi pointed out that the date of the luncheon was
the 40-year anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s
assassination. She recalled meeting JFK when he was a
U.S. senator.
“He shook (my) hand and told me to go out and do
something for the world,” she said. “That also changed
my life, and right then I decided to go out and help
people at every level. He made me do more than I
planned.”
Rozzi called President Armenti and his wife,
Barbara, dear friends for life. She said she recalls fondly
her time at Cal U.
“Unlike (leaders in) a lot of places, when President
Armenti is faced with an executive problem, he deals
with it right away, which is imperative in being
effective,” she said.
“It was wonderful here.”

Cal U is offering a
U.S. Masters
Swimming
Program designed
to help swimmers
improve stroke
technique, build
fitness and train
for specific goals.

Swimmers Train in Hamer Pool

A

dult swimmers can keep in shape and
improve their technique with a masters-level
workout in Hamer Hall pool.
The U.S. Masters Swimming Program is led by
the Vulcans’ veteran swimming coach Ed Denny and
graduate student April Staniszewski, who concluded
her collegiate swimming career last spring by helping
the Cal U women’s swimming team finish 14th
nationally at the NCAA Division II Nationals.
Open to men and women age 18 or older, the
structured workout is designed to help swimmers
improve stroke technique, build fitness and train for
specific goals.
“We are not looking for people who do not know
how to swim,” Staniszewski said. “This program is
geared for people who know how to swim and want
to train.”
Either she or Denny will be present at every
workout, she said, and all aspects of the training are
approved by U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS). Many
of the current members are tri-athletes or swimmers
who competed in high school.
“This program is really for anyone who wants to
exercise and has previous swim experience,” said
Staniszewski, now a volunteer swim coach for the
Vulcans and a graduate assistant in the Cal U athletic

office. “It’s a swimming-laps-and-workout kind of
program that focuses on technique and
improvement.”
The swimmers will have expert guidance. Last
summer Staniszewski received Scholastic All-America
honors from the College Swimming Coaches
Association of America. Denny has led Cal to a 45-5
dual meet record since the program was started in
2002. A two-time NCAA Division I national qualifier
in the 1,650-yard freestyle as a student, he was the
head coach at Fairmont State before coming to
Cal U.
The swimmers work out from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Mondays and Wednesdays, and from 10 a.m. to noon
Saturdays. The cost is $5 per workout or $35 per
month for students, $50 per month for others.
“New members are always welcome,”
Staniszewski said.
Founded in 1970, USMS is a national nonprofit
organization that provides organized workouts,
competitions, clinics and workshops for adults.
Programs are open to all adult swimmers who are
dedicated to improving their fitness through
swimming. Membership exceeds 48,000 individuals
ranging from ages 18 to 100. Cal U is now listed on
the USMS website as an official training site.

PASSHE Board
OKs 2010-2011
Budget, Plans

T

he PASSHE Board of Governors approved a twoyear budget outline last month designed to address
major challenges resulting from a significant reduction in state funding and rising personnel and health care
costs.
PASSHE will receive about $38.2 million in federal
funding this year, and likely again next year, to temporarily
offset a $54 million reduction in state funding that has
occurred since the beginning of the 2008-2009 fiscal year.
Those funds will help replace the reduction in state funding
resulting from the floundering economy, but will disappear
in 2011.
The Board approved a 2010-2011 appropriation
request totaling $483 million to help fund the 14 stateowned universities next year. That amount would represent
an increase of $17.8 million, or 3.8 percent, over the current year’s total. The state appropriation combined with the
anticipated federal funds would help support PASSHE’s
proposed Fiscal Year 2010-2011 operating budget of nearly
$1.5 billion. The proposed budget represents an increase of
about $61.9 million, or 4.4 percent over the current year’s
spending total.
Much of the increase is required under the various collective bargaining agreements PASSHE has with its seven
labor unions, all of which will be in their final year. Those
increases will cost PASSHE about $37.7 million in 20102011. In addition, health care costs are projected to
increase by $12.9 million next year, while State Employees’
Retirement System costs are expected to increase by about
$6.8 million and utility costs by about $3.7 million.
The Governor’s Budget Office will consider PASSHE’s
appropriation request along with those prepared by other
state agencies and state-supported entities as it develops a
proposed 2010-2011 general fund budget for the commonwealth.
