Changing Lives
Through Education
Family Legacies
Dear Friends,
• Lorraine, ’69, and Margaret Samela were raised
by parents who wanted a better life for their children and
believed that goal would be achieved through education.
The Samela sisters chose to honor their parents by
establishing an endowed scholarship for students with
disabilities.
• Marc Nivet, ’92, was driven by his parents’ life story
of pursuing and achieving the American Dream. His path
to success would include earning a degree from Southern
Connecticut State University. Dr. Nivet is giving back to his
alma mater and honoring his parents with the creation of
an endowed scholarship for nursing students.
• Sharon Ort, ’72, has a long family history with
Southern as both a graduate and the wife of a faculty
member who served the university for over 30 years. As a
tribute to her late husband and his passion for teaching,
she established an endowed scholarship for students in the
university’s Honors College who are majoring in English.
The Southern Connecticut State University Foundation
is grateful to these exemplary individuals. We are proud to
feature their inspiring stories, and to salute them for their
trailblazing family philanthropy. In this undertaking they
are following in the footsteps of the Gundersen, Goodwin,
and Stutzman families, whose generosity and commitment
are reflected in the foundation’s record-setting 2010
fundraising results.
The tradition of family philanthropy in higher education
has a long history in this country. However, in the realm of
public higher education, it is only relatively recently that the
requisite philanthropic infrastructure like the foundation,
a separate nonprofit entity, has been in place to encourage
and facilitate private giving. The foundation plays a critical
role at Southern: building awareness of the need for support
and forging relationships within the growing Southern
community of alumni and other donors. This process
unfolds over years — decades, even — so it is a particular
point of pride for such a young philanthropic program that
this tradition is already taking hold.
And not a moment too soon. At this writing in late
2010, it is uncertain how much the level of state support for
public university budgets will again decrease. What is
certain is that public higher education budgets have been
declining over a number of years, not only in Connecticut
but nationwide. As states struggle to find ways to close
yawning budget gaps over the next few years, public
universities are once again being called upon to implement
budget cuts and generally do more with less. As we know,
this is taking place at the exact moment when our students’
need for financial support is rising, due to widespread
joblessness and other factors. It is at that intersection of
trends —increasing need and decreasing state support —
that all of you, the generous donors to the SCSU Foundation,
make a crucial difference in the lives of many. It is at that
intersection that all of us will be called upon to do more if
future generations of students are also to have access to
life-changing educational opportunities.
Despite many challenges, the foundation remains
firmly committed to its mission of supporting Southern
students and programs. It is our hope that the following
pages will inspire you to continue with, or to join us in
that commitment.
Thank you for your ongoing generosity.
Robin M. SauerteigChair, SCSU Foundation
This year’s annual report of the Southern Connecticut State University Foundation
highlights families who are committed to changing lives through education and supporting
that commitment through philanthropy.

Looking AheadThe outlook for 2011 looks bright. “Recent data indicates
that growth continues to trend higher after slipping below 2%
in the spring quarter. Following growth of approximately 2.8%
in 2010, [it] would not be [surprising] if GDP were to advance
at a 3.5% pace or slightly better in 2011 . . . ,” according to
Citizens Investment Perspectives (Winter 2011).
The Foundation Board remains committed to our
long-term investment policy of maintaining a diversified
investment portfolio, with careful and ongoing monitoring
and rebalancing. Our objectives remain to increase resources
available for scholarships and generate programmatic support
and funding for new initiatives.

Year in ReviewFundraising and Financial Highlights
The financial markets showed strong signs of recovering
for 2009-2010 and fundraising has benefited from some
major gifts. Total new gifts and commitments approached
$3.0 million. The Southern Connecticut State University
Foundation’s assets totaled $14.4 million at year end,
representing an increase of 23.4% from the prior year.
During 2010, the market value of Southern’s endowment
reflected a substantial increase of 16.6%, or just under $1.6
million, closing the fiscal year at $10.9 million. This was
primarily a result of significant gifts from several of our
generous benefactors. In addition, the Student Government
Association and other members of the Southern
community established the Cheryl J. Norton Endowed
Scholarship in her honor.
Overall, investment income rebounded by accumulating
almost $3.0 million during the fiscal year; thereby erasing
the $2.0 million loss from the prior year and adding $1.3
million to the foundation’s endowment revenues. Also
helping the bottom line was a decrease in expenditures,
the result of efforts to hold expenses to a minimum.

Inspired by their parents’ belief in the importance of education,
the Samela sisters create a scholarship to honor their memory and
help others earn their degrees.
A Family Tradition
Her father, who hadn’t finished high school, was married
with a newborn daughter when he was drafted in 1943. When
he returned from the war two years later, he was “such a
conscientious provider” that he went straight to a job in the brass
factories in Waterbury, Conn., she says.
But he passed his desire for an education on to his daughters,
instilling in them a passion for learning and the ambition to
pursue professional careers.
“He always said, ‘Don’t make my mistake — make sure you
are able to get an education,’” Lorraine says. “That was his dream.
He wanted our lives to be much easier than his.”
Thanks to their parents’ support and the opportunities offered
by the Connecticut State University System, both women earned
advanced degrees and launched long and gratifying careers in the
teaching profession. Their oldest sister went to nursing school and
spent 40 years working as a nurse.
“Our father was able to send all three of his daughters to
college and educate them to become professionals. It was the state
colleges and their affordability that allowed him to do that,” says
Margaret A. Samela.
To recognize their parents and give back to the university, the
two sisters, who share a home in Old Saybrook, Conn., have
established the Marco and Alda Samela Memorial Scholarship at
Southern. The scholarship will provide financial support for
students with disabilities, in honor of the Samelas’ mother, who
was paralyzed.
This is the first time a scholarship has been offered at Southern
specifically for students with disabilities, says Deborah Fairchild,
interim coordinator of Southern’s Disability Resource Center, which
serves more than 500 students with documented disabilities on
campus.
“We’re really excited now to finally have a scholarship here
at Southern,” says Fairchild. “It acknowledges students with
disabilities and the hard work that they do.”
Lorraine Samela says she understands from experience the
challenges people with disabilities face, having been a caregiver
since she was 13, when her mother became paralyzed after back
surgery. She describes her mother as someone with a strong work
ethic who taught the girls how to sew, cook, and do household
chores, as well as how to persevere in the face of adversity.
Their father, insisting that the girls become self-sufficient,
taught practical skills like how to paint, change a tire, and mow
the lawn.
“They set up strong values,” Margaret says. “My Mom and Dad
were quite inspirational.”
Despite their advocacy for education, however, the parents
worried that their girls’ aspirations might be too “lofty” for the
family budget. It wasn’t until a family friend told their mother
about the affordability of state schools that a college degree
became more than just a pipe dream.
Lorraine says she chose to attend Southern partly because it
was close to the family’s home in Waterbury, Conn., allowing her
to commute and be available to help her mother and younger
sister in the evenings. She earned her undergraduate degree in
elementary education in 1969.
Margaret, 10 years younger, chose Central — mostly because
she “wanted to do something a little different than my sister,” she
says. She graduated in 1979 with a degree in French. Both women
earned masters’ degrees a year after receiving their diplomas —
again at the urging of their father. Margaret also took coursework
at Southern in the early 1980s while working toward her
certification as a Spanish teacher.
Lorraine retired in 2004 from the Waterbury Public School
District, where she spent 34 years working as an elementary
school teacher and vice principal. Margaret taught French and
Spanish at parochial and public schools in Waterbury and
Hamden, Conn. She also worked as an administrator, including
serving as coordinator of the World Languages Program for Old
Saybrook Public Schools. She continues to teach at Old Saybrook
High School.
Lorraine says their father discouraged them from getting
part-time jobs while at school and never asked them for money to
help with college expenses, despite their family’s lean finances.
According to Margaret, he would be thrilled if he knew he
might be helping to put college in reach of someone with
financial difficulties.
“I know he was very, very proud of what we accomplished
through our education,” she says. “I think he’d be extremely proud
to know that a scholarship in his name and honor would be able
to do that for someone else.”

Lorraine and Margaret Samela credit much of their success to their father and his unfulfilled dream.
The factory worker and World War II veteran devoted his life to his family, but he always lived
with a disappointment — that he could have been something more had he furthered his education.
“One of his biggest regrets was that when he came out of the service, he didn’t take advantage
of the GI bill and pursue his education like many of his friends did,” recalls Lorraine A. Samela, ’69.

Paying it ForwardA new scholarship supports Southern nursing students —
and honors immigrant parents who were fully
committed to their children’s education.
“I started wondering what that meant for financial aid, what
that meant for students of lower socioeconomic status,” Nivet
recalls. “Were they going to be afforded the same wonderful
experiences that I had at Southern?”
At the same time, Nivet was searching for a way to give back to
his school, honor his parents, and promote his lifelong mission to
increase diversity — racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic — in
medical education and the health care field. He says he also
wanted to recognize the wonderful nurses who cared for his late
father during his struggle with a decade-long illness.
So Nivet worked with Southern’s Division of Institutional
Advancement to come up with a plan that would achieve all of
those goals.
The result was the Carlton and Verna Nivet Endowed
Scholarship, named in honor of Nivet’s parents. The scholarship
will provide financial support for a student majoring in nursing.
Nivet, who is the newly appointed chief diversity officer for the
Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in
Washington, D.C., credits Southern and the surrounding New
Haven community with helping to shape the person he is today.
That, he says, wouldn’t have been possible without financial
aid, which allowed him to concentrate on his college experience
without having to worry about working his way through school.
“It afforded me the opportunity to get involved in the community.
It afforded me the opportunity to be active in student government.
It was a real opportunity to grow as a person,” says Nivet.
While at Southern, Nivet served as vice president of the Black
Student Union, mentored incoming freshmen in the Student Equal
Opportunity Program (SEOP), and volunteered to work with
inner-city children in public schools in New Haven. “Those
non-classroom experiences really were just as important to me
as the classroom experience, and in some cases probably more
important,” he says.
Nivet went on to earn advanced degrees from Long Island
University (C.W. Post campus) and the University of Pennsylvania
before launching a prestigious career in higher education. Prior to
his position at the AAMC, he served as the chief operating officer
and treasurer for the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation in New York City,
which supports programs to improve the education of health
professionals. Nivet also serves on the SCSU Foundation Board
of Directors.
Nivet says he was always driven by his parents’ life story, a
classic tale of immigrants going after — and achieving — the
American Dream.
“My parents were always striving for better for their children,
and that was such a motivating thing for me as a child to witness,”
he says.
Nivet’s father met his mother after they both immigrated to
the United States from Trinidad in the late 1960s. With no more
than a ninth-grade education, he worked his way through odd
jobs in Manhattan before landing steady employment at an
artist material development company. His mother helped support
the family by working as a dietician at DeWitt Nursing Home in
New York City.
But his father’s long-term plan was to own his own business,
and by 1973 he had saved enough money to open a coffee shop
in the same building where he had been working for the last
four years. He had a ready-made clientele among his many
acquaintances in the building, Nivet says, and the shop was
a huge success.
His father sold the business 15 years later, earning enough
from the sale to move the family from Brooklyn to the suburbs
in Long Island. In the late 1980s, his parents opened Long Island’s
first Trinidadian restaurant, which they ran successfully for
16 years until Nivet’s father’s death.
Nivet says he hopes his parents’ entrepreneurial spirit might
inspire future nursing students who are applying for the
scholarship by reminding them that “their dreams can really be
actualized through perseverance, diligence, and hard work.”
Nivet says he envisions the scholarship going to a student
who not only shows academic promise, but who has overcome
obstacles and demonstrated “stay-to-itiveness” in the face of
adversity. He says students who apply for the scholarship will be
required to write an essay explaining why they believe they are
worthy of the award.
Lisa M. Rebeschi, associate professor and chairwoman for
Southern’s department of nursing, says the department is very
grateful for Nivet’s support.
“Over the coming years, the state of Connecticut and the
nation will be facing a severe shortage of nursing professionals,
especially those prepared at the baccalaureate and graduate
levels,” Rebeschi says. “Scholarships such as the one established
by Dr. Nivet enable students to realize their potential as nursing
professionals.”
When the nation’s financial crisis hit in 2008,Marc A. Nivet, ’92, began worrying about
the fallout on college campuses — especially at his alma mater, Southern.
He’d been reading articles in the news about how endowments were dwindling at colleges
and universities because of the failing economy.

A Teacher’s LegacyA new scholarship honors the memory of
celebrated Professor Emeritus Daniel Ort and furthers his long-demonstrated
commitment to Southern and its students.
Such is the legacy of the longtime English department faculty
member, professor emeritus, and Honors College co-founder,
whose creative approach to teaching not only transformed the
minds of his students, but shaped how they were taught.
As a lasting tribute to her husband, his wife of 50 years
established the Daniel Ort Memorial Endowment at Southern,
a fund that has also received donations from numerous university
colleagues and former students. The fund will provide scholarship
support for students enrolled in the Honors College who are
majoring in English.
“He loved teaching. He loved the interaction with the students,
so the idea of a scholarship seemed an appropriate thing,” says Ort
from her home in Cheshire, Conn., where watercolors painted by
her late husband grace the walls of every room and his published
books sit on the bookshelves.
Ort taught English and comparative literature at Southern
from 1966 until he retired in 1997. He pioneered the concept of
“team teaching” at the university, promoting an interdisciplinary
approach that continues today in the Honors College.
The program for academically gifted students, created in 1982,
features a curriculum organized around themes rather than
specific subjects.
Ort encouraged professors from different departments to work
together, believing a collaborative method would enhance teaching
by merging several distinct perspectives on a topic. The approach,
says his wife, meant not only designing courses spanning
diverse subjects — from literature and the arts to science and
philosophy — but literally having professors teach together in the
same physical space.
Before the Honors College, Ort created the IDEA program in
the 1970s and then in the 1990s launched the SCORE program.
Both brought an interdisciplinary approach to core courses. “He
very much enjoyed that camaraderie with the professors of the
other disciplines,” Sharon Ort says.
In addition to the scholarship, the university dedicated the
Honors College Library in Ort’s memory in March 2010. English
Department Chair Michael Shea, who helped spearhead the effort,
noted the library is used as a community learning room, so it is a
fitting symbol of Ort’s vision.
“His notion of learning needing to happen in a big
community rather than individually between student and teacher
— that was very influential to me,” says Shea, who shared an office
with Ort for more than a decade and considered him a mentor.
“Dan Ort believed we were all learners together.”
Outside the classroom, Ort had numerous talents, from
writing essays, poems, plays, and novels, to acting, filmmaking,
playing musical instruments, and painting — a hobby he took up
late in life. Colleagues, friends, and family members described him
as “larger than life,” someone with a unique knack for finding
humor and wisdom in everyday situations. The New York Times
published many of his musings on daily life as op-ed pieces.
His wife was often a central character.
“He was always trying to grow as a thinker and a creator,”
Shea recalls.
Although Ort struggled with health problems, including
Parkinson’s disease, he always found a way to incorporate life’s
setbacks into his art, says his wife. When he lost control of his
right hand as the Parkinson’s progressed, Ort taught himself
how to paint with his left. If a tic or tremor caused a slip of
the paintbrush, Ort found a way to make the error a part of
his creation.
He once suffered a puzzling and frightening bout of
temporary amnesia that left him so confused he found himself
endlessly repeating a line from a favorite Edward G. Robinson
film. After he recovered, Ort used the episode as inspiration for a
collection of short stories. He entitled the book, “Is this the End of
Little Rico?”—naming it for the infamous movie line. His other
published books include, “Off to See the Wizard,” “My Mother
Always Called Me by My Brother’s Name,” and “Ort Bran.”
Sharon Ort says she hopes the scholarship will go to students
who share her husband’s passion for creativity.
Asked what Ort would think about the effort, she says he
would probably not want a fuss made over him, nor would he
have sought out a space on campus bearing his name. He didn’t
even want a party when he retired, she recalls. But, she says, he
would be pleased about the scholarship.
She comments: “Anything that is in any way helpful to kids being
able to get an education, I think he would have been happy about.”
When legendary Southern professor Daniel Ort died in 2007, a former student wrote
to his wife, recalling the day she earned her first-ever C in his class.
“She was absolutely, totally stressed and indignant about it [initially]. She had never
gotten a C in her life,” Sharon Ort, ’72, recalls. Eventually, she had gotten over the shock
and appreciated her teacher’s criticism. She went on, according to the letter, to sign up for as
many of Ort’s courses as she could because, she said, he taught her “how to think.”
