Dear Fellow Alumni and Friends,

UMass Amherst has made great strides in encouraging a culture of philanthropy in the past five years.

In every area, UMass

Amherst’s fundraising is on the upswing and setting new standards. This past fiscal year, we have raised millions of dollars, increased the number of donors, and achieved strong results in attracting major gifts—more than 16 gifts of a half million dollars or more.

The Class of 1957 significantly surpassed its 50th Reunion Class Gift goal, as did the Class of 2007.

These fundraising accomplishments are important because they are the foundation for achieving the mission of UMass Amherst: to be an outstanding place for learning, scholarship, research, and outreach.

These are the goals that motivate us to be supporters. For so many of us,

UMass Amherst made a difference, so we choose to make a difference for the students who follow us.

There is no substitute for a generous and appreciative community of campus alumni and friends. No university sustains excellence without it. We thank all of you who have shown your support for UMass Amherst and hope that you will join our effort to widen and deepen the base of private philanthropic support for the Amherst campus.

Sincerely yours,

Eugene M. Isenberg, President

UMass Amherst Foundation

As we move into a new fiscal year at UMass Amherst, I am pleased to greet you as the Interim Chancellor.

Since I arrived in August, I have been getting to know the UMass Amherst family. I have been impressed with what I have seen and heard. I can see why this historic institution is ranked among the top national universities.

From one end of the campus to the other, exciting research is being done, faculty are engaged with students on subjects and in ways that will make them successful thinkers and leaders. Students are pursuing a wide range of educational opportunities, in the classroom and through internships, community service, and other activities.

Students are also excelling in athletic competitions.

The Studio Arts Building, the Integrated Science Building, the new energy-efficient central heating plant, and the renovation of Skinner Hall are all taking their final shape. This fall, the ground-breaking ceremony for a much-anticipated Recreation

Center took place. This level of construction on the campus hasn’t been seen since the sixties and seventies, but there is still much to be done in the way of modernization, major renovations, and new construction in order to provide the faculty, staff, and students the facilities they will need to carry out the mission of the campus.

During the 2007 fiscal year, UMass Amherst has been very successful in its pursuit of private philanthropy from individuals, foundations, and corporations. And as of

September 30, we were 31 percent ahead of last year in receipts and pledges. I assure you that enlarging that support is one of my priorities. I also want to acknowledge the support of the faculty, the staff, the students, the alumni, the administration, the Trustees, the Commonwealth, the

UMass Amherst Foundation Board, and the private donors who collectively have made UMass Amherst the world-class institution that it is. I am looking forward to meeting you, and

I invite all of you to continue your support to make UMass

Amherst an ever more vital place.

Yours for a stronger UMass Amherst,

Thomas W. Cole, Jr.

The Jim and Paula Buonomo Endowment for Student Development

J ames and Paula Buonomo married when he was a senior at UMass Amherst studying political science. During what James has called “one of the best times of their life,” Paula worked on campus while he went to graduate school here for his

MBA. Paula is now an aide to U.S. Congressman

James McGovern of Massachusetts. James is CFO of Nypro, a private, employee-owned company with 17,000 employees. In 2006, the Massachusetts company became the world’s first plastics manufacturer to earn $1 billion in sales.

This spring, a gift from the couple established the

Jim and Paula Buonomo Endowment for Student

Professional Development. The endowment will help fund activities and programs for ISOM undergraduates and graduate students including practicums, consulting projects, field trips, internships with start-up firms, networking events, student clubs focused on community service, and other “experiential learning.”

Working for a company that is global in scope,

James Buonomo believes in the value of experiences that broaden one’s horizons.

“I’ve been lucky enough to circumnavigate the globe

50-60 times and have visited Asia a hundred times in the last 13 or 14 years,” he noted. “What I’ve learned is first of all, that it’s nice to live in America, but second, it’s also important not to be too ethnocentric.

That’s a bit of a problem in this country. It’s important to remember that wherever someone lives, that’s home for them. External experiences can expand students’ point of view.”

The father of two grown children, Buonomo was motivated to give to UMass Amherst by the bond he feels with other parents. “Wherever you go,” he said, “I’ve found there’s one common theme. In my travels, sitting down to dinner, talking, with a family in China, in Japan, in Europe, what I hear is always the same: parents want their kids to have a better life.”


The 1863 Society recognizes donors who have made significant gifts to further the mission of UMass Amherst by ensuring every student is offered the finest education and research activities are of the highest caliber.

An Enhanced

Softball Stadium

W hen the 2007-08 UMass softball team plays its first home game next spring, its fans will be sitting pretty. An anonymous donor’s gift has enabled UMass Amherst to replace bleachers with stadium-style seating.

“We will now have a championship-caliber facility, giving us the opportunity to host NCAA and Super

Regional NCAA events,” says Head Coach Elaine

Sortino (above). “The field will have a stadium feel, with seating that is 30 feet high. The seats are really the finishing touch and will make it one of the most attractive facilities in New England.”

Angled so that everyone can see the plays, the

400 or so seats will include 101 chairback seats behind home plate and two sections of bench seating extending to each dugout. The stadium is located in the southwest corner of campus, where there are two other state-of-the-art athletic facilities,

Rudd Field and the track and field complex. The combined effect, says Sortino, will give one of the campus gateways a very nice presence.”

“Softball as a spectator sport has grown exponentially in popularity,” Sortino says. She should know—she’s been coaching the team for

27 years. “People are mesmerized by women throwing 70-mile-per-hour pitches, comparable to a baseball pitch of 100 miles per hour, and doing it so gracefully. It’s also an easy game to watch—it’s not hard to follow.”

Thanks to the softball team’s tremendous record

(among its feats: 19 Atlantic 10 Championships), attendance at home games has often strained seating capacity. In covering a substantial portion of the $390,000 price tag for the field’s upgrade, the anonymous donor’s gift makes SRO games a thing of the past. “It’s more than just making a sizeable contribution,” says Sortino. “The donor stepped up to the plate—and hit a grand slam.”

Former UWW Director

Gary Bernhard and Jeff Taylor

The UWW Jeff Taylor

Educational Opportunity

Endowment

J eff Taylor once accepted a challenge to try to beat the water-skiing record of fellow entrepreneur extraordinaire, Virgin Group’s Richard Branson. The

Monster.com founder managed to go more than three miles along the Florida coast on his second try. A self-described “nontraditional learner,” Taylor took on another challenge in 2000, when he came back to UMass Amherst to finish his college education.

Originally on campus from 1978 to 1983, he’d started businesses and been his fraternity’s president but hadn’t graduated. By 2000, he’d made his mark and made millions. Through the UMass Amherst Outreach program, University Without Walls, he earned his bachelor’s degree in 2001.

Now Taylor is helping UWW with a challenging goal: raising $350,000. This spring he gave $75,000 to the newly created UWW Jeff Taylor Educational

Opportunity Endowment. Notably, 100 percent of the program’s faculty and staff have given as well. The endowment will provide scholarships and academic access to students of diverse backgrounds who wish to attend UWW.

In its 36-year history, the rigorous, interdisciplinary program has enabled nearly 4,000 students to earn bachelor’s degrees, many of them while working and raising families. UWW director Cindy Suopis said recently, “We’ve restructured and expanded our entire curriculum in direct response to the needs and experiences of our students. Our students now will be able to take courses in the classroom, online, or in a

‘blended learning’ format that combines the two.”

Among Taylor’s favorite sayings is “Earn, learn, yearn.” The UWW Jeff Taylor Educational Opportunity

Endowment will help UWW students who are applying that philosophy every day.

Acushnet Company Grant

A cushnet Company brands, including Titleist, Cobra, and FootJoy, have tremendous cachet on the links.

At the top golf tournaments, you’re more likely to see

FootJoy shoes sidling up to the ball on the greens than any other brand. Their innovative design owes a lot to

UMass Amherst’s own Dr. Joseph Hamill (above). An expert on the biomechanics of the lower extremities,

Hamill mostly studies runners’ injuries. Over the past

15 years, though, he has received nearly $1 million in grants, including $60,000 in 2007, from Acushnet to help redefine what a golf shoe should be.

Ideally, golf shoes offer both flexibility—for striding down fairways—and stability, “a rigid platform,” in Hamill’s words, for taking a swing. Hamill has contributed to the effort to reconcile these aims by investigating such factors affecting feet and legs in motion as forefoot flexibility, mediolateral control, and axial rigidity. Most of the work he does in his

Totman lab, using infrared high-speed cameras, an electromyographic system, force platforms, et al, but sometimes he sits down with FootJoy designers at the factory in Brockton.

“The FootJoy people are really, really nice,” says Hamill. “We started the relationship with a handshake—we didn’t even have a contract the first few years. I like working with them because they’re a

Massachusetts company, and they’ve been very good to my lab. Their funding helps me to support several graduate students who work with me.”

Hamill also has a personal interest—he’s an avid golfer. From a stack of FootJoy shoe boxes by his desk, he removes a snazzy number—white with teal lizard trim—and regards it with the air of a connoisseur. He says, “They’re extremely comfortable. You can take them right out of the box and go play.” www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com

Nellie Mae Education

Foundation Grant

M any high school dropouts eventually get their diplomas, but only a small percentage go on to college, and even fewer get degrees. Various organizations are trying to improve the numbers. The

Nellie Mae Education Foundation (NMEF), for example, sponsors college prep programs in which participants brush up academic skills and learn about the college application process, financial aid, and college culture.

Do the programs work? That’s what Cristine Smith EdD ’97 and Steven Sireci, School of Education professors, want to find out. NMEF gave them a $1 million grant this year to launch the Adult Transitions Longitudinal Study. ATLAS is a five-year research project that will follow one year’s cohort of students, approximately 300 people, enrolled in 11

New England college prep programs. Smith and Sireci will track how many complete the programs, how many go to college, and how many graduate. They’ll also collect data on the graduates’ employment to find out if their earnings improved and if their attitudes toward their children’s educations and the value of a college degree changed.

“Many people drop out of high school because of learning disabilities or poverty. We want to find out what supports and what hinders these students’ success in college,” says

Smith. “We hope that what we discover will help college prep programs to understand and remove barriers that nontraditional college students encounter. Another goal is to make our findings available to other foundations and state governments who may fund and run similar programs.

“It’s a great project to be working on,” Smith adds.

“Traditionally, the emphasis in adult education has been on helping people get their GEDs. The trend now is toward encouraging people to go on to college after that, because post-secondary education is so important in enabling people to make a living wage and for our society to be globally competitive. We hope the information we provide will support this trend and help future students.” www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com

Billy Taylor Endowment for Jazz Residencies

T his year, Billy Taylor and Teddi, his wife, gave $10,000 to the Billy Taylor Endowment for Jazz Residencies, which they established eight years ago. Now totaling over $100,000, thanks to gifts from the Taylors and others, the endowment brings recognized and emerging artists to campus to teach, perform, and commune with students for three days every year.

Resident artists have included Regina Carter, Jason Moran, and

Nnenna Freelon.

Dr. Taylor (he earned an EdD from UMass Amherst in 1975 and received an honorary Doctor of Arts in 1986) says “this place was where everything came together” for him.

By then he was already an established artist. With other jazz greats on faculty, there was a lot of “crosspollination,” he remembers.

That wasn’t his first experience with crosspollination. In the forties, coming to New York fresh out of college, Taylor stepped into a golden musical moment. Of the legendary club-lined

Manhattan block where he spent many hours listening and performing, he says,

“Playing on 52nd Street was like going to music school.”

A virtuoso musician and an acclaimed composer, Taylor is also a preeminent and versatile educator. To spread the word about jazz, “America’s classical music,” as he famously put it,

Taylor started New York’s pioneering Jazzmobile program, was a longtime CBS Sunday Morning host, National Public Radio presenter, a WLIB (AM) deejay, and a Downbeat contributor.

The Wilmer D. Barrett Professor of Music at UMass Amherst is still a spell-binding teacher. Last summer, his lecture at Jazz in July was met with cheers and wild applause from a mostly teenage audience.

“Jazz is personal communication,” he told them, onstage in Bezanson Hall. With hands poised over the keys, he introduced an evocative musical interlude: “I could tell you what I mean, but it has more meaning at the piano.”

Through the endowment, gifted jazz artists share their discoveries with a younger generation. “You want to spread your knowledge and enthusiasm among friends,” Taylor urges. “Say what you have to say, no one else can do it quite the same.” www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com

The UMass Amherst Food

Science Center for Health and Wellness

I magine savoring delicious strawberry ice cream loaded with gingko biloba for added brain power.

Not skimping on the salad dressing, because its omega-3 fats could reduce, rather than increase, your chances of a heart attack. Called healthful food intervention, this approach delivers beneficial agents painlessly into people’s bodies and lives. So that it can expand its innovative research in this and other areas, the Food Science Department in the College of

Natural Resources and the Environment has launched the Just Imagine Campaign to create the Center for Health and Wellness. This spring, Dr. Karakian

Bedrosian ’54 made a planned gift of $250,000 toward the center’s creation. Bedrosian is the inventor of a highly successful method of shipping produce long distances without refrigeration.

In the first phase, NRE will transform three rooms in

Chenoweth Lab into a state-of-the-art research suite, at a projected cost of $4 million, with $2 million to be raised by Food Science. The second phase will add another suite. The center, to open once the first suite is complete, will house departmental research efforts and be the on-campus site for clinical trials.

“We are the only food science department taking such a multifactor approach to finding food solutions to health issues. Our research encompasses metabolic products, food safety, food biotechnology, nanotechnology, and recommendations for public policy in both developed and underdeveloped countries,” says Department Chair Fergus Clydesdale.

Bringing together scientists from many disciplines and academic institutions and promoting alliances with industry and government, the new center will make the department an even bigger player when it comes to this key research.

David Weisblat Gift

A s an undergraduate at UMass Amherst,

David Weisblat ’75 majored in political science. The former honors program student believes his education prepared him well for law school and a successful career as a tax specialist and partner in a foremost

Washington, D.C., firm. That is why he has steadily contributed to Commonwealth

College, the honors college at UMass

Amherst.

This year, Weisblat substantially increased the amount of his gift to Commonwealth

College. As he has in the past, he gave to the college’s general operating budget, so that Dean Priscilla M. Clarkson (above) can decide how best to use his contribution. “It’s impossible for me to judge where the needs are, so it makes more sense to provide the support and let others decide how to use it most effectively,” Weisblat says.

Appointed last June, Clarkson is a new dean but a familiar figure on campus.

She earned her bachelor’s, master’s, and

PhD at UMass Amherst and joined the

Exercise Science faculty in 1977. She brings impressive credentials as a scientist and an administrator to her role as dean, and equally impressive aims. Weisblat’s gift, she notes, may go toward new initiatives designed to attract more motivated students from all backgrounds to Commonwealth College.

Or it may help fund community service programs or the Honors Research Grant

Awards Program that provides money for undergraduate to pursue research projects.

However it is applied, Weisblat’s gift will enrich the educational experience of some of

UMass Amherst’s best and brightest students.

The Armstong Fund for Science

J ohn and Elizabeth Armstrong, who have given generously to UMass Amherst before, established the Armstrong Fund for Science last year because they want to “promote major scientific advances in society by supporting researchers with bold vision, documented credentials, and a passion for results,” in John Armstrong’s words. A new faculty member in the College of Natural Sciences and

Mathematics, Harry Bermudez, was awarded one of the two inaugural grants. (The other went to Assistant

Professor Janice Telfer, at the College of Natural

Resources and the Environment.)

An assistant professor in the department of Polymer

Science and Engineering, Bermudez (above) received a one-year, $22,500 grant for research related to immune system response. The grant will allow him to conduct in vitro experiments to interrogate specific types of immune cells at different stages of response and their interactions with bacterial viruses. Bermudez hopes to uncover some of the survival secrets of viruses, “classical evaders of the immune system,” as he has put it. That kind of information could ultimately have important practical applications: in the creation of synthetic materials, for example, that would improve hip implants.

Holding a bachelor’s from UMass Amherst and a

PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in chemical engineering, Bermudez is drawn to research that explores the interface between materials and biology.

As a postdoctoral fellow, he was involved in tissue engineering. Back at his alma mater, Bermudez is pleased to be in an academic setting where interdisciplinary inquiry is ongoing. Sitting in his office in the Conte Polymer Research Center, he notes, “This building has really been ahead of the curve, in terms of it being a place where people from civil engineering, chemical engineering, molecular biology, and other fields come together.”

“This grant,” he adds, “will be a tremendous help, in getting my lab built up, in hiring graduate students.

Just the materials alone are very expensive. From this beginning, I can build a larger research group and pursue larger research grants.” www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com

The following companies provided matching gift support for this year’s 1863 Society donors.

Merriam Internship

Scholarship

B efore coming to UMass Amherst, I didn’t know what economics was,” says Rod Motamedi ’08 (above), one of the first recipients of the Merriam Internship

Scholarship. Originally planning to study business, he took a microeconomics course and realized, “all the things that I find most interesting about business are really the domain of economists.”

Dwight Merriam ’68 established the scholarship in 2007 to support summer or semester-long internships in public policy, law, ecological conservation, and/or real estate development. It enabled Motamedi, who is paying his own way through school, to accept an internship at Regional Economic

Models, where he’s gotten “a mixture of life and work lessons.” He says, “I learned about the underlying threads that hold economics together and the on-the-ground reality of working in economics: that two monitors are better than one, and sometimes the printer breaks.”

It has also built on his positive experience at UMass Amherst: “I can’t think of a class

I haven’t liked. I’ve been surrounded by excellence.”

Dwight Merriam set up the scholarship to help outstanding students like Motamedi. “As someone from a background of very limited means, I know how important having cash in school is.” Mentoring was also part of the deal: “I thought it would be useful for the recipients to have the opportunity to call on me as needed,” he says. His third motive?

“To strongly encourage other alumni to give in bigger or smaller ways and as a multiyear commitment. Doing so is a partial payback to the university for the well-rounded education that got me to the place in the landscape I’m in today.”

The Lorrey and Kathleen Bianchi Library

Special Collections Fund

P erhaps because of their successful careers in information technologies, both Kathy and Lorrey

Bianchi seem exceptionally at home thinking about what’s next. Libraries everywhere are working to keep pace with the changing ways patrons find and use information. As longtime generous supporters of the UMass Amherst Libraries, the Bianchis have demonstrated their understanding that first editions and wi-fi have a place in libraries—and they are helping to ensure UMass Amherst has the means to offer both.

Last spring, the couple arranged a planned gift that will establish the Lorrey and Kathleen Bianchi Library Special

Collections Fund. The fund will be used to purchase, preserve, and process materials in the Library’s Special

Collections and University Archives Department. Their gift reflects their willingness to “imagine a future for research libraries,” says Emily Silverman, director of development and communication for the library. “They have acted on their sense of how we can shine, what defines us—our unique holdings.”

Special Collections has many treasures, from the papers of W.E.B. Du Bois to 200-year-old maps. The Bianchi fund will enable it to build on its strengths, whether through acquiring rare books, digitizing valuable collections, preserving fragile artifacts, or repairing timeworn materials. Lorrey Bianchi has also arranged a planned gift of his extensive collection of books, posters, maps, and other materials on the French Second Empire

(1852-1870) to the department.

“The library is already a destination,” says Lorrey, a

1969 UMass Amherst graduate. “The students who use the library have grown up with technology—it’s a part of learning for them—so having access to technology is an incentive to go there. When I was a student, I used to go to Morrill [Science Center] at night to find a quiet place on campus to study—the library offers that, too. I’ll do anything I can to help the campus libraries.”

Says Silverman, “The Bianchis have thought about what their legacy might be. They’ve got confidence in their convictions and have shown that they’re ready to act.

I also admire their idea of what philanthropy can be in your life—that, ultimately, it feels good to give.” www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com

The following individuals became life members during fiscal year 2007.

Seedworks

Nursing

Professorship

I n 1975, Susan Hagedorn (above) was a struggling single mother starting UMass

Amherst’s two-year nursing program for students with bachelor’s degrees. Once she had her nursing degree, she set about building a career devoted to improving the lives of underserved populations, especially adolescents. She has earned advanced degrees, and certifications, and has published widely on the teaching and practice of nursing.

This year, Hagedorn pledged $1.5 million to create the Seedworks Nursing Professorship for Social Justice. The endowed professorship is the first for the nursing school and the only one in a public nursing school in New England.

She made her gift partly because her UMass

Amherst experience was, in her words, “a pivotal event” in her life.

Hagedorn also made her gift because she believes, “Academics have a huge responsibility to think broadly and to mentor students and to go beyond scholarship—to be agents of social change.”

As she envisions it, the professorship will, said

Hagedorn, “produce a mentor for students who will integrate nursing with implementing social change.”

“This is an extraordinary, transformative gift,” said School of Nursing dean Eileen Breslin,

“one that speaks to the heritage of this school and its strong commitment to community and to meeting the needs of the underserved. It will enable us to attract and retain the best faculty and students—and ultimately improve the lives of men, women, and children.”

Henry L. Hall, Jr. and Jean Hall Gift

T o Henry L. Hall, Jr. ’53, it almost goes without saying that scholarships are a good idea. Over the years he and his wife, Jean, have given both their time and money to supporting UMass

Amherst. This spring, they contributed to a scholarship fund for students in the

College of Humanities and

Fine Arts. “We wanted to make a contribution,” he says modestly, “and scholarships can be helpful.” Hall knows from personal experience, having received a scholarship himself to go to college.

In commenting on the value of their gift, HFA dean

Joel Martin offered other reasons why scholarships matter. “Humanities and the arts are the thirdmost-popular majors nationally among all students, according to a recent survey by The Chronicle of

Higher Education, ” he noted .

“With 121 colleges and universities in Massachusetts alone, the competition for the best students in the humanities and fine arts is intense. If we are to continue to attract the best undergraduate and graduate students to UMass Amherst, we must provide robust scholarship support.

“This is also a good investment that extends beyond the individual recipients,” Martin continued.

“A top student helps bring out the best in other students.

Because so much of what we do is performative or public, the impact is magnified even more. One only needs to attend one of the many concerts given by HFA students to see how students inspire one another to do their very best and to work harder to do even better. Our faculty is superb, but nothing motivates a student like a peer performing at a high level of competence and artistry.” www.UMassAmherstMagazine.com

Paros Professorship

I n 1960, the year Jerome Paros graduated from UMass

Amherst, the cold war was decades away from thawing. Nuclear weapons testing was in full swing, and the US was racing the USSR to send the first man into space.

It was a time when a scientist with a vision, an entrepreneurial spirit, and luck could prosper. Paros is one such scientist. Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, the son of Russian immigrants, he followed his brother to UMass Amherst where he got a “well-rounded education,” in his words, and a degree in physics. He has put both of them to good use. Paroscientific, Inc., the Redmond, Washington-based company he started in 1972, is internationally known for its sophisticated, innovative equipment that detects and measures tsunamis and other complex geophysical phenomena.

Paros believes that the greatest advances in science and education will come through cross-disciplinary research and collaboration between industry, government, and academia. Guided by that philosophy, in 2007 Paros gave $1 million to endow the Jerome M. Paros Professor of Environmental Sciences, the second UMass Amherst professorship he has endowed.

To be held jointly by the College of Engineering and the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the environmental sciences professorship, Paros believes, will generate some synergy. Synergy several times over, in fact: between the two schools and the two Paros professors’ work. Andreas Muschinski was appointed this spring as Paros Professor of Measurement Sciences.

A faculty member of the Electrical and Computer

Engineering department, Muschinski is involved in research related to meteorology, clean energy,

“stratified shear flows,” and “atmospheric seiches.”

Paros envisions down the road the creation of an atmospheric and environmental research center on campus, yet another way to bolster UMass Amherst as a research university, where, he says, “Good science comes from good observers running good experiments with good sensors.”
