The Ethical Fork in the Road
Dr. Albert J. Simone.
Referring to the “constant parade of stories describing violations of individual and institutional integrity,” former RIT President Dr. Albert J. Simone today (Dec. 11) said the individuals involved “took the wrong branch when they came to their ethical fork in the road.”
“I am sure there are many more individuals who took the proper branch; unfortunately, we do not hear very much about these individuals,” added Simone, who spoke at Keuka College’s mid-year conferral of degrees. “The individuals who took the wrong branch are newsworthy and that is what the media tend to highlight.”
Simone assumed the graduates had come to this fork in the road “several times already” and during the course of their lives and careers will come to it “numerous times. (more…)
Old Habits are Hard to Break

Winning the Keuka College Golf Classic has become a habit for the team of Kyle Reagan ’05, Roger Jensen, Scott Jensen ’07, and Josh Robinson ’09.
The foursome have carved their names on the trophy three times in the past four years and was favored to make it four out of five at the 12th renewal of the event July 18 at Lakeside Country Club in Penn Yan.
Reagan, Jensen, Jensen, and Robinson delivered once again, although they were pushed to the limit by the team of Jim Stork, Matt Stork, Jeff Zimar, and Ben Stewart.
Both teams carded 13-under par 59s, with first place determined by a match of scorecards.
Senior division winners Bob Meriwether, Glenn Rolls (standing) and Jean and Paul O'Neill (seated.)
The team of Mike Sweet ’03, Jenn Sweet, Mike Heib, and Bryan Lanahan won the mixed team division with a 62 while Paul O’Neill, Jean O’Neill, Bob Meriwether, and Glenn Rolls returned a 61 to win the senior division.
Marty Sample and Jenn Sweet won the longest drive competitions while Judy Erwin, Doug Lippincott ’11, Jesse Bond, and Sweet won closest-to-the-pin prizes.
The tournament benefits the Deb Manahan Golf Classic Scholarship, which carries the name of the late Penn Yan resident, avid golfer and Keuka College benefactor. In its first 11 years, the tournament raised some $137,000 for the scholarship, awarded annually to Keuka students from the Finger Lakes region.

It’s a Three-Peat for Waterloo Man
Roger Ward teaches scuba lessons to children attending the Sheriff's Association programs at Camp Iroquois.
Roger Ward is a huge fan of Keuka College’s Accelerated Studies for Adults Program (ASAP), so much so that the Waterloo resident has earned three degrees through the program since 2003.
He first completed a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice systems, then a master’s in management. Then in May, Ward graduated with his second master’s – in criminal justice administration.
Thanks to his first master’s degree, Ward said he gained a full understanding of economics and how supply and demand plays into everything. Studying for his second master’s, Ward learned “the CJ problems aren’t agency-specific. Whether you work for a federal, state or local municipality, everybody has the same problems, predominately budget, staffing, and getting the right people in the right places to do the right work. I found that different people will see things pretty much uniformly, even though from a different agency.” (more…)

From Cars to Credit Scores: All About Financial Wellness
L-R, Mike Sweet, Joan Smith, Lindsay Barrile and Lori Holloway
Students wondering how to qualify for the lowest interest rate on a major purchase like a car or those just learning the ropes of building good credit were advised with money-wise insights at a November seminar on financial responsibility hosted by the Alumni Association.
Offering tried-and-true tips to getting the best deal on a car and creating a strong credit score were featured speakers – and Keuka alums – Joan Smith and Lindsay Barrile, who graduated in 2007 and 2008 respectively with M.S. Management degrees from the Accelerated Studies for Adults Program (ASAP). The pair, both bank officers with the Chemung Canal Trust Company, were introduced by Michael Sweet, a 2003 ASAP alumnus and vice president of finance with the Alumni Association, which hosted the seminar as part of the “Backpack to Briefcase” Series.
According to Lori Holloway, adjunct instructor of biology and instructor of the Wellness course for freshmen, the goal was to raise awareness of the need for financial wellness as part of the overall health and wellness in an individual’s life. Reminding students that financial problems are among the top three reasons for the breakup of relationships, Holloway encouraged those attending to consider how savvy financial decisions could reduce their stress in addition to helping land a great deal on a car.
