College 基金会 Dedicates New Gordon N. 1962年，琳达·S. Zuckerman 校友 House
2022年10月3日
On Thursday, Sept. 22岁的 Hudson Valley Community College 基金会 held the official dedication ceremony for its new Gordon N. 1962年，琳达·S. Zuckerman 校友 House, located on Whitman Court in Troy.
The 基金会 identified real estate ventures as a core priority during long-range strategic planning activities held in 2020. Purchased in 2021, the 校友 House is 该基金会’s first investment property, and it will serve as a venue for 基金会 and 校友 Association cultivation activities. It will also be the official residence of the college president and a space to host guests of 该基金会 and college.
This historic house – designed by local renowned architect Marcus Cummings with his son Frederick – was purchased with unrestricted 基金会 funds and a leadership gift from class of 1962 alumnus Gordon Zuckerman.
Zuckerman has served on 该基金会 board since 2004, as chairperson from 2013 to 2015, and as an executive committee member from 2015 to present. In 2007, he established a scholarship fund that honors his late wife, 琳达, a business professor for 45 years at SUNY Adirondack. He was instrumental in fundraising activities for the college’s Promise of our Region and Science Center capital campaigns, and continues to contribute to the college’s 基金会 and champion its mission.
“Hudson Valley Community College and 该基金会 are deeply thankful to Gordon Zuckerman for his commitment to making the new 校友 House a reality,” said Hudson Valley’s Vice President of External and Government Relations and 基金会 Executive Director Regina LaGatta. “Gordon has been a strong supporter of the establishment of an 校友 House for many years, but we needed to find the right place and time to execute the vision. 现在, his generosity and support have made it possible for 该基金会 to preserve this historic home and secure an important asset for the college—one that will bring people together far into the future.”
In 2000, the college sold the former college president’s residence located in the Town of Brunswick, a gift from the estate of Margarit Amstuz. 现在, 该基金会, in partnership with donors like Gordon, is proud to invest in the college’s future with the creation of the new 校友 House.
