Double Major: English and Political Science, Teacher Education Program
Hometown: Hardwick, New Jersey
“What I like most about Hartwick is the opportunities I’ve gotten because I’ve been here. I’ve added a major, got amazing jobs, amazing classes, everything. The most surprising thing for me is the community. It is so positive and people here want to make it an amazing place for everyone.”
“Three professors that inspire me are Professor Elder, due to her amazing work ethic and inspiring me to come to my full potential; Professor Damiani due to her amazing way to be an advocate; and Professor Cody for his teaching style and his vast amount of knowledge.”
Associate Professor of Chemistry, 2018 Teacher-Scholar Award
John gets students excited about research. He refuses to characterize himself simply as a physical chemist who specializes in laser spectroscopy. He loves using his skill sets in different areas of science to broaden his knowledge. He approaches research problems from a variety of cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural viewpoints. He helps students discover their passion for research and sparks their desire to continue research in graduate school.
John’s success as a teacher-scholar and student mentor is well established. In the past 2-3 years alone, he and his students have published three peer-reviewed papers, and have made 4 oral and 2 poster presentations at national and international meetings. Some of these student co-authors worked with John in Germany using spectroscopy to better understand astrophysics. This work was funded by a research grant John received from the German Academic Exchange Service to collaborate with scientists at the University of Cologne. The students who joined John in Germany were supported by Emerson Fellowships and Trustee Research Grants.
Art major with concentrations in photography and digital media, minors in art history and education, Pine Bush, New York
“I spent eight weeks in Costa Rica at a wildlife rehabilitation center caring for and photograghing my favorite animal, sloths. Carolyn Cooper helped me write a proposal my senior year that lead to a $5,000 Duffy scholarship! This experience was a dream come true. I always wanted to travel abroad and I even earned four college credits between Dec. 9 and spring semester doing what I love.”
“My mother graduated from Hartwick and I originally thought I’d be a math major here. Then I discovered the Art department and ran its dark room. I took over 1,000 photos of sloths at the Jaguar Rescue Center and designed a book with my 64 best photos of my favorite sloths for my senior art project. Proceeds from the sale of my self-published book will be used to buy powered goat’s milk which is in high demand. I plan to return to this rescue center and deliver the milk myself.”
