The Wells Social Science Colloquia series is coordinated by Wells Assistant Professor of Sociology Laura McClusky, who works with her colleagues to bring speakers to campus whose perspectives connect to current classroom topics. “Wells students are also invited to share their research, especially if it has been selected for a national conference presentation,” says Laura.

Wells College Financial Aid Director Receives State Service Award

Cathy Bellomo is also elected to regional leadership position 

Cathleen Bellomo, Wells College’s director of financial aid, received a special service award from the New York State Financial Aid Administrators Association (NYSFAAA) in recognition of her work with students and contributions to the financial aid profession. She accepted the award in October at the organization’s annual conference held in Saratoga Springs.

This particular NYSFAA accolade, The Sister Bernadine Hayes and Rusty Hopkins Service Award, has a special meaning for Cathy and the Wells community. One of the women for whom the award is named was a Wells College administrator and Cathy’s mentor.

The award was established in 2000 to recognize outstanding women financial aid professionals. Mary “Rusty” McDowell Hopkins graduated from Wells in 1942. She joined the staff of her alma mater in 1960 and served the college for decades in various administrative roles, including the financial aid area.

In the 1970’s and ‘80s, Rusty’s efforts helped countless students in New York State gain access to higher education through increased financial aid awards. Among other contributions, Rusty testified before the New York State Senate and Assembly, advocating for increased funding. 

Cathy served as NYSFAAA president from 2000-02. During her tenure, she encouraged the organization’s participation in Education Day at the New York State Fair and created a viewbook for the organization, among other contributions. Previously, she served as NYSFAA treasurer and led many workshops for financial aid professionals. 

She has served on the leadership council of the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) and the Tuition Assistance Program (T.A.P.) Modernization Committee. She is currently state representative to the financial aid council of the National Council of Higher Education Loan Programs (NCHELP). 

Cathy is now moving from the state to regional level of professional leadership. This year she was elected treasurer of the Eastern Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (EASFAA), which represents professionals in 13 states in the Northeast.

Early Music Concert Presented at the New Aurora Inn

The Frogwork Consort will perform “Table Musik” 

The Frogwork Consort will present Table Musik, an evening of early music, on Sunday, November 16. The recital will take place at 4:00 pm in the Lakeside Room of the beautifully renovated Aurora Inn, 391 Main Street, Aurora. This performance is the second in a series of early music concerts presented in the Inn. The previous concert, given by Elizabethan Conversation on October 5, was described by one audience member as “great playing, great music, and a great setting.”  The public is warmly invited to enjoy this special recital. A $5.00 donation is requested at the door.

In Elizabethan times, music was often played at home after a meal, providing the evening’s entertainment. The gentry would sing and play while sitting around the table; thus, this type of intimate and often intricate chamber music was called “table music.” The concert features The Frogwork Consort, a period instrument trio that performs on viols, a family of string instruments popular before the string quartet and which was the preeminent ensemble for chamber music in Elizabethan England. 

The Frogwork Consort is comprised of three extraordinary musicians. The organizer of this program, Dr. Susan Sandman, is professor emerita of Wells College. She earned her B.A. in  music from Vassar College and a Ph.D. in musicology from Stanford University.  She has won several National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships and other grants for performances and recordings. Professor Sandman retired from Wells College after 26 years to devote her time to performance.  In addition to Frogwork, she performs with the Aurora early music ensemble Elizabethan Conversation. 

Lee Johnston is a print music specialist with Hickey's Music of Ithaca,  and organist and choir director at the First English Lutheran Church in Syracuse.  Frequent performances on organ and viola da gamba include Crouse Early Music Ensemble, Schola Cantorum of Syracuse, Hendricks Chapel of Syracuse University, Syracuse Chorale and Marcellus. 

Alexander Rakov received his music training in conducting, composition and performance from the Leningrad Conservatory of Music in Russia, and holds a performance diploma from Syracuse University. Formerly a professor of early music at St. Lawrence University and director of the early music program at Syracuse University, he now teaches privately and performs on lute and the viola da gamba with the New World Renaissance Band and Cantiga. 

This is the first time the Frogwork Consort will appear at the Aurora Inn.  The fine acoustics of the Inn’s Lakeside Room has a special appeal for them, and the setting is historically appropriate for the type of music featured. Performed will be fantasies and dance suites by the English master composers Simpson, Tomkins, Locke and Jenkins. Various combinations of viols, including trebles, tenors and basses will be used, and one piece features the lute as well. Three of the viols used were built by the Crocker Workshop in Aurora. 

For more information about Table Musik and The Frogwork Consort, please contact Susan Sandman, professor emerita of music, at 315/364-8406 or the Aurora Inn at 315/364-8888..

Dr. Hassan has been professor of religious studies and humanities at the University of Kentucky at Louisville since 1976. In 1999, she founded the International Network for the Rights of Female Victims of Violence in Pakistan, a non-profit organization with a worldwide membership (www.inrfvvp.org). She consults for a number of international agencies and women's organizations on matters pertaining to human and women's rights, and was a spokeswoman at the Fourth U.N. Conference on Population and Development in Beijing in 1995. She has been extensively involved in interreligious dialog with Jews, Christians, and Muslims, with a particular focus on human rights in religious traditions.

Wells is now “NOVEL-Ready” 

The New York State Education Commissioner Richard Mills recently praised the Louis Jefferson Long Library at Wells College for being “NOVEL-Ready.” The library has joined over 4,200 other New York Online Virtual Electronic Libraries, putting access to vast sources of knowledge at the fingertips of students and faculty members in the campus community.

The New York Online Virtual Library (NOVEL) is more than just the Internet; it greatly expands access to bibliographic resources and full-text information that is organized, reliable, up-to-date, and evaluated by expert librarians.

“With NOVEL, users can now access information from a variety of electronic connections before unavailable,” says Wells’ Head Librarian Jeri Vargo. “With our computer technology and networking capabilities, we have exciting new opportunities to meet the information needs of the college community, and without charge.”

The Long Library became an Advanced Electronic Doorway Library (EDL) in September 1998. As an EDL, the library goes beyond its walls to obtain useful, reliable information. Now, as a NOVEL-Ready library, users have access to journals, magazines, newspapers, and other resources available through a suite of NOVEL electronic collections. 

“The official designation of NOVEL-ready recognizes the Long Library is expanding delivery services,” said Janet M. Welch, State Librarian and Assistant Commissioner for Libraries. “Wells is better serving its students and faculty and is also offering opportunities that will give every New Yorker in any community - regardless of geographic, economic, or physical barriers - access to vast electronic resources.”

To learn more about the Louis Jefferson Long Library and NOVEL, please call library director Jeri Vargo at 315/364-3356.
