Tony Mariano Athletic
Director of the Year
Mar 05, 2018
CLEVELAND – Norwich
University Director of Athletics
Tony Mariano was named a 2018
recipient of the Under Armour AD of
the Year Award, presented by the
National Association of Collegiate
Directors of Athletics (NACDA) on
Monday.
Mariano is one of just
four NCAA Division III athletic
directors and 28 total spanning
seven divisions (NCAA FBS, FCS,
Division I-AAA, II, III, NAIA/Other
Four-Year Institutions and Junior
College/Community Colleges) to earn
the prestigious honor.
"It is an honor to
represent Norwich University as an
Under Armour Athletic Director of
the Year," said Mariano. "I am
humbled to join 27 other outstanding
winners of this prestigious award
and want to thank the selection
committee for honoring me."
Winners will receive
their awards during the James J.
Corbett Awards Luncheon on Friday,
June 29 at NACDA's 53rd Annual
Convention at the Gaylord National
Resort and Convention Center in
Washington, D.C.
The ADOY Award
highlights the efforts of athletics
directors at all levels for their
commitment and positive
contributions to student-athletes,
campuses and their surrounding
communities.
Mariano
is in his 26th year as the Director
of Athletics at Norwich University
after spending his first 14 years at
the university as a coach.
During Mariano's
tenure, Norwich University athletic
teams have won a combined 11
national championships between men's
and women's ice hockey and women's
rugby. Several other teams have won
multiple conference championships as
well.
"Tony Mariano has been
the bedrock upon which we have built
our leadership-centric athletic
programs," said Dr. Richard W.
Schneider, Norwich University
President. "He champions a
values-based educational system
which is delivered through his
leadership of our athletic programs.
I am proud of him and all our
Norwich University coaches and
student-athletes for living our
values each and every day."
Norwich University's
athletic facilities have undergone a
complete overhaul under Mariano's
watch. He has overseen the
construction of Kreitzberg Arena,
Doyle Hall, Andrews Hall locker room
renovations and the renovation of
Sabine Field that have helped
Norwich University student-athletes
compete and train in premier
Division III facilities.
During the 2016-17
academic year, Norwich won five
conference championships, as well as
made two NCAA Tournament appearances
capped off with the men's ice hockey
team winning its fourth national
championship on March 25 in Utica,
N.Y. The men's rugby program
also made appearances in the USA
Rugby Division II 15s Final Four and
qualified for the USA Rugby Division
II 7s Tournament to complete the
most successful season in varsity
program history.
Norwich also had 65
student-athletes earn all-conference
honors from their respective
conferences, while four individuals
went on to earn NCAA All-American
honors.
Mariano is a 1974
graduate of St. Lawrence University
with a degree in Physical
Education. He received his
master's degree for Norwich
University in 1975. Tony and
his wife Gail reside in
Northfield. Their son Tom is
an Associate Dean of Admissions at
Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.
and his daughter-in–law Missy is the
head field hockey coach at Hamilton
College.
"This
is the 20th year for the Athletics
Director of the Year Program, and
each year that goes by, we are
continually blown away by the
standard of success that these award
winners maintain across all levels
of college athletics," said Bob
Vecchione, NACDA Executive Director.
"Over the last two decades, we have
been fortunate to recognize more
than 425 individuals for the
impressive work they do and the
examples they set for everyone in
our industry."
Under Armour is now in
its 10th year of sponsoring the
award and over 220 different
athletics directors have been
honored with the award during that
time.
"The Athletics
Director of the Year Award honors
those men and women who are
visionary leaders in college
athletics," said Walker Jones, Under
Armour senior director of global
sports marketing. "Under Armour is
proud to partner with NACDA to
facilitate this recognition for the
top athletics directors across all
divisions."

Science Hall inductees named
By STAFF REPORTS Posted May. 19, 2014
@ 11:57 am ROME The Rome Academy of
Sciences has announced the Class
of 2014 inductees into the Rome
Science Hall of Fame. They are Dr. Philip
Domenico, Frank Potter, and
Benjamin Wright. * Domenico is a
graduate of Rome Free Academy and
Mohawk Valley Community College.
He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in
Biology/Psychology from SUNY
Albany in 1975 and a Ph.D. from
the University of Texas in 1983.
He invented bismuth thiols in
1994, and currently consults for
Microbion Biosciences, which
licensed his technology. Bismuth
thiols are a novel class of
antimicrobial agents that exhibit
potent activity against a broad
spectrum of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria and microbial biofilms.
Domenico holds four patents in
methods/compositions for
inhibiting bacteria, biocides, and
anti-inflammatory agents. He has
authored three books, more than 45
published articles and 40 magazine
articles, and gave 88 professional
presentations. Microbion
Biosciences promotes the
development of bismuth thiols to
treat biofilms and
antibiotic-resistant organisms or
“superbugs.” * Potter graduated
from Lafayette College in
Pennsylvania in 1896, and received
a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical
Engineering. While at Lafeyette
College, he developed the first
Roentgen ray photograph, which was
an early type of X-ray in the
United States. He moved to Rome in
1905, where he and some partners
bought out the Electric Wire Works
and the Empire Wire Company, which
later became the Rome Wire
Company. In 1905, with Stephen
Houghton, they patented a new
phone with the ear piece and mouth
piece in one hand-held unit.
Potter manufactured the new phones
on Mill Street in Rome. In 1927,
Potter’s company merged with
General Cable. As head of
engineering, research, development
and patents, Potter had several
inventions including
pre-vulcanized plastic heat
insulation, among others.
* Wright was born in
1770 in Wethersfield, Conn. He
moved to the Wright Settlement,
which is now Rome, in 1789 and was
a surveyor, building designer and
engineer as well as an Oneida
County Judge and member of the New
York State Legislature. He worked
on The Inland Canal; The Erie
Canal; and the New York and
Erie Railroad that affected Rome
in the early 1800s. Wright was
Chief Engineer on the Erie
Canal which became an early
American “School of Civil
Engineering.” Wright did
considerable work for many of the
early canals and railroads in the
country built in the first half of
the 1800s.
The Academy is looking for
any living relatives of Wright and
Potter. For information, call
339-3113.
The induction ceremony will take
place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 10, at
Lake Delta Inn. The cost is $25 per
person

DINNER
WITH DENNIS AND JUDI
June 30 2012
(thanks to Debbie Nash for writing
about it)
Dinner
with Dennis and Judi on the 30th was
relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks
Dennis for driving all the way from
Philly to see us that night. Judi
was thrilled to see you.
We
had dinner at Savoy. We had been
hoping for a band but there wasn’t any
so it kind of changed the atmosphere
for the night. We had planned on
having dinner and sitting on the patio
and having drinks and dancing, but no
music so it ended up being pretty low
key.
In
attendance were Dennis, Donna
Pugliese, Judi, me, Denise and Larry
(who is in our class by proxy). Karen
was at a wedding and due to lack of
communication missed us that night.
Dennis
talked about Krista on u tube. We
talked about Maria’s coming to the
states finally and Dennis explained
what a long and drawn out affair it
had been to get the paperwork in
order. Still working on it.
We
talked about the old days of hanging
out at Judi’s in the cellar while the
guys played pool and did the jitter
bug listening to music. All very
innocent. Talked about how we played
baseball and kickball and all kinds of
games like that when we were young as
compared to today’s kids. We had some
laughs remembering things. Donna told
about how her mother punished her by
sending her to spend the day with her
dad at his gas station. Myhow
times have changed.
It
was a very nice and relaxing time. I
wished it would have been a bit more
lively, with music and dancing, but we
had Montabano on the piano and just
dinner music. Not that it wasn’t
enjoyable, just not the kind of music
to put you in a party mood.
We toasted to their 60th
birthdays (not mine cuz I’m not having
anymore, told you that) and a good time
was had by all.

Sharon
M. Glass
(Sharon
Cascarella)
“A student
for
life”
Sharron Glass, 58, of Cazenovia, has
worked in childcare for more than 30
years. But she still has a lot to
learn about her chosen field.
Glass works as a preschool teacher at
the Cazenovia Children’s House and is
working on a bachelors degree in early
childhood education at Cazenovia
College. She loves reading,
running and riding motorcycles around
Madison County with her husband, John.
But her true passion, she says, is
learning.
• What made you decide to go back to
school? My love for knowledge is what
guided me back into taking courses at
Cazenovia College. I have an
associate’s degree and I am so excited
about earning a bachelors degree in
early childhood education and
program administration.
• What’s the hardest part about being
an older student? At first the hardest
part about being an older student was
being surrounded by younger students.
I thought I would feel very
uncomfortable. Instead I made new
friends who helped me out with
anything I was not clear about.
• What’s the best part about being an
older student? The best part of being
an older student is I am constantly
learning about subjects related to the
field I love, which is early childhood
education, and the students and
faculty are there for you. I have
never met so many kind and helpful
individuals.
• What do you plan to do with your
degree? When I graduate, I plan on
pursuing a graduate degree in special
education and continue on for my
doctorate. I plan on becoming a
student for the rest of my life.
• What’s your best advice for
other “elders” considering a return to
college? My best advice for “elders”
is to try not to be afraid
of standing out because of your
age or because you might think you are
to old to go back to college. There is
such a great feeling of confidence
when you expand your knowledge and
meet people from all different
backgrounds and nationalities.
