Rest in Peace to Dr. Ross Pollack. He was the Director of the Specialized Resource Center at Manhattan College. He did a lot more great things than many of us were probably aware of, but I know that just from the little time I knew him, he was dedicated to MC and it’s students.
Dr. Pollack cared about his friends and through his programs, he helped all of those with special needs, those needing extra assistance with class, and someone like me who needed recommendations for graduate school. In the little time that I spent with Dr. Pollack, he always greeted me with a smile, while replacing “goodbye” with “if you ever need anything let me know.” And as soon as I did need something, he was there to help. I was fortunate enough to offer some help to others through Dr. Pollack’s program for three years, and he definitely embodied the La Sallian tradition of Manhattan College. So I’m sure that today, instead of saying goodbye to MC, he’s letting us all know if we need anything, he’s there.

Kevin Kahn on Redefining Mobility: Carry Small, Live Large

Imagine a day when a single device small enough to fit in your pocket has the power of a laptop and can deliver a rich computing, telephony, media, gaming, and Internet experience. Imagine a day when this device knows your tendencies and preferences and can adapt and optimize its interfaces to match what you are doing at any point any time. Imagine a day when this device is not constrained as a standalone unit, but can dynamically become a hybrid combination of other computing and multimedia devices in close proximity. In the labs at Intel, we have been looking at what makes sense for mobility in the future – a vision we refer to as Carry Small, Live Large.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares your grief at the death of someone who worked to make Jaspers what they could be. We are praying for our loyal helper and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. “No man is an island, entire of itself … any man’s death diminishes me”. We are sorry for your loss.
