Mary X. Britten received a bachelor’s degree, two master’s and a doctorate from Columbia University where she was professor of nursing and a nursing instructor at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center before joining the Decker School of Nursing in 1976. She served as graduate program coordinator for five years, associate dean for eight years and was selected as interim associate vice provost for graduate studies from 1993-94. She has served on 23 DSON committees, chairing four of them. She also chaired eight of the 41 campus-wide committees on which she has served. Her success in obtaining training grants has included securing three nurse practitioner grants, a community health nursing expansion program and a three-year grant to expand the school’s Baccalaureate Accelerated Track degree program. She wrote the application for and directed the University’s original New York State Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program, funded by the state Education Department, and is the program’s adviser. She served on review panels for selection of federal training grants, wrote the original proposal for the school’s PhD in rural nursing program and was part of its implementation team. Britten has published almost 20 educational and clinical writings and has presented at or conducted more than 50 workshops or conferences.

C. Robert Emerson earned bachelor’s and doctoral degrees in industrial engineering and a master’s in industrial administration from Purdue University. He served as materials manager at Rockwell International and industrial engineering professor at Montana State University before joining the University of Arkansas faculty. He came to Bing-hamton in 1986 when the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science was in its infancy, serving as a “one-man army” in launching its industrial engineering program. Today, the department has 11 full-time faculty, several emeritus faculty, numerous adjuncts, a graduate program with more than 120 students and a growing undergraduate program. Emerson was key to these developments through “his guidance, mentoring, stewardship and pragmatic leadership.” He has mentored faculty and students, and his reputation for scholarship and guidance extends far beyond campus. He is vice president of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) and was instrumental in starting a new student chapter of the IIE at Binghamton, as well as a chapter of Alpha Pi Mu, the industrial engineering honor society. He also coached the women’s crew squad for more than four years and the men’s for two years. One crew member said: “He has been and still remains an integral part of the student-athletes’ life not only while they are at Binghamton University, but beyond.”

| Sandra D. Michael has distinguished herself in her service and leadership to the State University of New York, Binghamton University, the Department of Biological Sciences, the local community and professional organizations. She received a bachelor’s degree in biology from California State College in Sonoma and a doctorate in genetics from the University of California at Davis, and joined Binghamton’s faculty in 1974. Her contributions include serving as chair of the Department of Biological Sciences for eight years while maintaining her internationally recognized research in female reproduction. Michael has served on and chaired several campus committees including the Professional Standards Committee, the Intercollegiate Board and the Decker School of Nursing Dean Search Committee. She was host senator and organizer for the SUNY Faculty Senate meeting at Binghamton. These commitments have resulted in substantial changes to both the local University and system-wide governance policies, and have earned her recognition from the chancellor of the State University of New York system. She has held leadership positions in professional research organizations and has been instrumental to the success of the State University of New York Upstate Medical University Clinical Campus through contributions to the Scientific Advisory Board at the Guthrie Clinic. |
