Vittorio, Susan [MC1980]

Ciba Corp part of BASF
Greater New York City Area

Summary

After 25 years in the Accounting, Finance and Business Support arenas I transitioned to Human Resources. Since that time I have been been a key player in the development of centralized HR Services, and have been managing Domestic Relocation, Staffing Services, HR Vendor Services, as well as performing HR Generalist responsibilities. I have successfully brought the business perspective to HR, and have effectively been able to align many of the HR services and initiatives with business strategies.

Since Ciba was purchase by BASF, I have been involved in the HR Integration project, as a part of the PMO. This has afforded me the opportunity to become involved in the intracacies of an integration project, as well as expand my knowledge of the various HR functions supporting the organization

JHQ: Aftermath Of Genocide In Cambodia 3/4 PM

Manhattan College’s Holocaust Resource Center Hosts Lecture About The Aftermath Of Genocide In Cambodia

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – The Manhattan College Holocaust Resource Center will host a lecture, The Aftermath of Genocide in Cambodia: the UN and the Failures of National Reconciliation, given by Dr. Benny Widyono on Thursday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. The event, which will take place in Smith Auditorium, is free and open to the public.

Widyono is the author of Dancing in Shadows: Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge and the United Nations in Cambodia (2007). His book is not only a political memoir but also is an account of the flawed efforts of UN peacekeeping and the inadequacies of the international response to genocide by the Khmer Rouge in the aftermath of the Cold War.

After serving as a provincial director in the United Nations Transitional Authority on Cambodia (UNTAC) in 1992-1993, Widyono was named personal representative of the United Nations secretary-general in Cambodia in 1994. He remained in that post until 1997, when he retired from the United Nations after 34 years.

In retirement, Widyono has served as an economic advisor on Southeast Asian issues both in academia and in the business world. Since 2006, Widyono has been professor of economics at the University of Connecticut at Stamford.

For more information about this event, please call Dr. Jeff Horn, director of the Holocaust Resource Center at Manhattan College, at (718) 862-7129 or email jeff.horn@manhattan.edu.

The history of the Holocaust Resource Center dates back to 1996, when discussions among concerned faculty and administrators at the College and in the Riverdale community led to its founding with the mission of promoting Catholic-Jewish dialogue and educating future generations about the Holocaust. The center inaugurated its Visiting Scholars Program the next year, and in 2006, an additional annual lecture was added to the series that focuses on genocides other than the Holocaust.

More information about the Holocaust Resource Center can be found on its Web site at home.manhattan.edu/holocaustcenter.

Family and friends reflect on DeVito’s life

A friend of Michael DeVito’s leaves a bouquet at the memorial set up for him on Marsh Plaza Thursday night

The loss of College of Arts and Sciences sophomore Michael DeVito Thursday has proven anything but easy for friends, family members and the Boston University community.

Memorials and remembrance sessions around campus have provided an outlet for students to remember times they shared with Michael and reflect on his life.

Many students remember him as a good friend, a hard-working student and a fun-loving person who always helped others but asked for nothing in return.

In an interview with The Daily Free Press, DeVito’s father, Daniel, said his son loved life, was always positive and always wanted to bring out the best in people.

“Michael was truly an angel. He was angelic in every sense of the word. He never, ever had anything but a smile on his face,” he said. “He never worried about himself. Michael was truly about what life should be.”

{Extraneous Deleted}

Michael also has an older sister, Alexa, 21, who is a student at Manhattan College in Riverdale, N.Y.

{Extraneous Deleted}

“He’s really irreplaceable. He made an impact on everyone’s life, even those who weren’t close with him.”
