Excerpts from 02-03 Annual Report
The continuing vitality of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences was evident in their professional accomplishments this past year. Nine faculty published books, mounted one-person shows, or curated exhibits:
- Ivan Brady, The Time at Darwin's Reef: Poetic Explorations in Anthropology and History, Walnut Creek, California: AltaMira.
- Cynthia Clabough exhibited her sabbatical project, "My Mother's Name is Anna, her Maiden Name was Lanzo," in Tyler Art Gallery, Oct. - Nov. 2002.

- An exhibition of the work of Juan Perdiguero, entitled "Juan Perdiguero: Bestiario," was shown at the ACA Gallery, Atlanta, Georgia, June 2002, and Galeria Metropolitana, Barcelona, Spain, Sept.-Oct. 2002.

- One faculty member, Dr. Geraldine Forbes, received a prestigious Fulbright fellowship for research in India, 2003-2004. (She therefore declined an American institute of Indian Studies grant for research for the same period!)
A number of additional faculty received awards or other recognition for their professional work:
- Dr. Robert Ballentine, Edward Lonky, Jacqueline Reihman, and Richard Zakin received the SUNY Chancellor's Recognition for Research and Creative Activity.
- Laura Brown, Linda Loomis and Brad Korbesmeyer received the President's Award for Advising.
- Ann W. Bunch was promoted to the status of "Fellow" by the American Academy of Forensic Science.

- Kate Timm received the Dick Blick Painting Award, Cooperstown Art Association, Cooperstown.
- Norman Weiner is the President of the National Collegiate Honors Council.
In 2002-2003 there was also increased faculty productivity in the number of conference and other invited presentations-144-and a dramatic increase in the number of refereed publications, book chapters, and creative publications-93 as compared to 59 the year before. This could be a function of increased numbers of junior faculty in the early stages of their career, increased activity among the faculty across the board, or both. In addition, faculty reported 32 other publications, at least 11 web publications, and participation in 20 off-campus exhibits, concerts, recitals or other performances. Fourteen faculty served as officers or in other official capacities in professional organizations.
New and continuing grants supported the efforts of faculty and students, as well as contributing, through indirect funds, to the general operations of the College of Arts and Sciences and the institution as a whole.
