President
Thomas
N.
Stainback
has
announced
the
appointment
of
a
man
of
many
and
diverse
talents
as
the
Col
lege's
new
Director
of
Development.
The
position,
vacant
since
1974,
was
last
held
by
Mr.
Roger
Tubby
of
Sara
nac
Lake.
Mr.
John
R.
Stiegman
received
a
B.A.
degree
from
Williams
College
in
Williamstown,
Mass.
and
brings
with
him
a
wealth
of
experience
from
his
successful
administration,
coaching,
teaching
and
business
background.
Stiegman
was
on
the
coaching
staff
of
Princeton
University
for
almost
ten
years,
concentration
on
the
sports
of
football,
hockey
and
crew.
From
Prince
ton,
Stiegman
went
on
to
Rutgers
Univer
sity
and
then
to
the
University
of
Penn
sylvania
where
at
each
institution
he
held
the
position
of
Head
Coach
of
var
sity
football.
From
Pennsylvania
it
was
on
to'
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
and
a
stint
as
Assistant
Football
Coach
and
then
to
Iowa
Wesleyan
College
where
he
taught
swimming
and
football,
the
latter
as
Head
Coach
in
1973.
Finally,
it
was
back
to
the
East
to
his
last
position
at
West
Point,
an
accomplish
ment
which
included
helping
to
lead
Army
to
its
first
winning
season
in
five
years.
\The
experience
of
coach
ing
at
the
intercollegiate
level
for
so
many
years
and
in
different
sports
has
been
a
valuable
experience
in
per
sonnel
management,\
says
Stiegman
of
his
extensive
coaching
background.
\My
record
of
association
with
the
young
men
whom
I
have
coached
must
be
a
communications
asset.\
Stiegman's
experience
is
not,
by
any
means,
only
in
the
coaching
field.
For
two
years,
as
Head
Football
Coach
at
Rutgers,
he
was
also
active
as
a
graduate-level
instructor.
This
was
for
a
multi-million
dollar
athletic
complex,
and
then
as
the
Director
of
Institutional
Planning.
Also
while
at
Iowa
Wesleyan,
he
exercised
his
bent
for
business
while
working
in
the
Sales
Division
of
Osborne,
Kemper
and
Thomas,
Inc.
and
the
SCM
Corporation.
\The
or
ganization
and
planning
techniques
of
good
management
represent
the
kind
of
work
that
many
people
say
I
do
best,\
comments
Stiegman.
\The
variety
of
responsibility
given
to
me
both
profes
sionally
and
voluntarily
in
Iowa
demon
strated
that
I
can
do
an
excellent
job
in
more
than
one
discipline
and,
in
that
assignment,
concurrently.\
At
Paul
Smith's
College,
Stiegman
will
be
responsible
for
the
researching
and
preparing
for
President
Stainback
and
the
College's
Development
Committee
plans
for
implementing
fund
raising
activities
from
the
various
publics.
He
will
assist
in
establishing
oppor
tunities
for
personal
visitations
by
the
President
of
the
College
with
pros
pective
donors
and
foundations.
While
reporting
directly
to
the
President,
Stiegman
will
also
be
working
closely
with
the
above
mentioned
Development
Committee,
which
is
chaired
by
Mr.
William
Rockefeller.
The
new
Development
Director
will
be
instrumental
in
the
coordination
of
the
departments
that'
play
important
roles
in
the
field
of
the
College's
development
and,
in
this
regard,
he
will
supervise
the
offices
of
Alumni
Affairs
and
Public
Relations.
Additionally,
Stiegman
will
estab
lish
and
develop
effective
fund-rais-
ing
programs
through
governmental
and
private
sources.
Mr.
Stiegman
is
a
past-president
of
the
Mt.Pleasant
Area
Recreation
Com
mission,
a
Founding
Director
of
the
Mt.
Pleasant
Community
Theater,
and
also
true
at
Iowa
Wesleyan
where
he
taught
on
an
undergraduate
level,
and
at
the
same
time,
displayed
his
exper
tise
in
yet
another
area:
that
of
ad
ministration.
While
at
Iowa
Wesleyan,
Stiegman
held
the
post
of
Assistant
to
the
President
for
seven
years,
first
in
charge
of
special
project
planning
has
been
a
consultant
to
the
Lifetime
Sports
Foundation.
A
married
man,
he
and
his
wife
have
two
children:
Holly,
29,
and
Elthea,
27.
He
is
also
a
re
tired
Commander
of
the
U.S.
Naval
Re
serve
.
The
Paul
Smith's
College
Trustees
and
the
administration
have
welcomed
Mr.
Stiegman
as
the
man
to
meet
the
need
at
the
College
for
an
effective
office
of
development
in
order
that
Paul
Smith's
might
secure
necessary
funding
for
its
many
plans
projected
for
the
future;
plans
which
will
greatly
improve
the
physical
and
aesthetic
ap
pearance
of
the
campus.
PARTICIPATION
is
the
K
E
Y
The
recent
appointment
of
a
Devel
opment
Director
by
the
Board
of
Trus
tees
and
the
President
of
the
College
is
one
more
indication
that
each
fully
intends
to
pursue
the
proposed
program
of
development
for
the
College.
This
program
involves
an
aggresive
plan
of
building
renovation,
rehabilitation
and
new
construction.
It
also
needs
the
full
support
of
its
Alumni
body
if
it
is
to
be
a
success,
and
if
John
Steigman's
search
for
\the
big
money\
is
to
be
fruitful.
And
here
lies
a
general
Alumni
misconception,
that
the
\small
money\
is
overshadowed
by
the
\big
money\
from
foundations
and
grants.
This
is
far
from
the
truth.
The
state
ment
might
very
will
be
reversed
and
be
much
more
accurate.
It
is
important,
notes
Stiegman,
that
the
Alumni
Association
realize
the
importance
of
the
concept
of
participa
tion
instead
of
total
dollar
support.
One
of
the
first
items
looked
at
by
a
prospective
donor
in
the
foundation,
corporation,
grant
category
is
the
per
cent
of
support
given,
the
numbers
giving,
in
the
Alumni
sector.
And
for
good
reason
too
--
what
better
way
of
helping
to
determine
the
quality
of
an
investment
in
a
college
than
to
look
at
the
willingness
of
its
former
students
to
continue
to
support
it.
The
important
thing
to
realize
is
that
in
its
period
of
growth
and
ex
pansion,
each
individual
can
and
does
play
an
important
role--and
that
this
does
not
always
mean
big
dollar
support.
Just
your
name
on
the
Annual
Giving
pro
gram's
donor
list,
even
if
it's
for
2,
3
or
5
dollars,
indicates
that
you
wish
to
be
counted
as
a
Paul
Smith's
College
supporter.
This
concept
of
participation
is
the
main
underlying
reason
behind
all
fund-raising
by
the
College
Alumni
Of
fice.
While
it
will
be
great
if
the
Association
can
take
a
firm
hand
in
the
building
of
a
dormitory,
or
the
renovation
of
The
Saranac,
or
the
pur
chase
of
new
equipment,
it
is
even
more
important
that
the
final
ledger
reflects
a
high
percentage
of
partici
pation
by
Alumni
in
the
fund
drive,
re
gardless
of
the
dollar
amount
raised.
A
high
participation
record
would
be,
itself,
a
gift
to
the
College
and
would
be
one
more
step
along
the
way
of
building
a
newer,
better
Paul
Smith's
College.
