History

Foundations as a Training Institution for Marist Brothers

Marist Colleges history begins with the Marist Brothers in the early 1816s. This Catholic religious order was founded in France by Saint Marcellin Champagnat focused on educational work throughout the world. In 1905, members of the order arrived in the Mid-Hudson Valley to establish the first Marist house of studies in the United States. On the east bank of the Hudson river, just north of Poughkeepsie, they purchased property and a house from Thomas McPherson. They named the building and property "Saint Ann's Hermitage", and began training young men for a life of "study, work, prayer and service" (this remains the college motto today).

In 1908, the Brothers purchased more land to expand the Hermitage, and soon the land grew to 150 acres.

By 1929, the training center at the Hermitage had evolved into the Marist Normal Training School, offering college-level courses. In 1946, the State of New York granted the institution an official four-year college charter under the name "Marian College", led by Brother Paul Ambrose Fontaine, FMS. Marian College continued the mission of training Marist Brothers as teachers of the congregation's schools. “NY” redirects here. ...

From 1947 to 1957, the Brothers began building on the weekends, their summers, and in their spare time: A gymnasium (the original Marian Hall), Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel, Adrian Hall, and a residence for the student Brothers (the original Fontaine Hall).

Expansion and Change

In 1958, former Marist Brother Dr. Linus Richard Foy took the reins at age 28, becoming the youngest college president in the United States. Two years later, Marian College became Marist College and the mission of the college broadened to include the wider community; lay male students were admitted to pursue degree study. An evening division was also introduced to serve the educational needs of the surrounding communities.

In 1962, Sheahan Hall the first residence hall, opened. It was quickly followed by Leo Hall in 1963 and Champagnat Hall in 1965. Donnelly Hall, also a dormitory (at the time) was built in 1962 by the brothers themselves. Stories from the construction are still topics for discussion between surviving Brothers even today.

Women were admitted to the evening division classes in 1966, then to the day classes in 1968.

In 1969, due to then-controversial laws ^{[1] [2]} regulating federal aid to religiously affiliated educational institutions in New York State, ownership of the college was transferred to the Marist College Educational Corporation with an independent, predominantly lay board of trustees. Many religiously affiliated colleges took this move during this time, marking this event its start as a secular institution.

Religion continues as a field of study and a part of many students and administrators' lives; as does the continued presence of several Marist Brothers who live and work on campus.

1970s: Marist continues to reach out

In the 1970s, programs for the educationally disadvantaged were expanded, a computer center was added, graduate programs in business administration and community psychology were instituted, and the James J. McCann Recreation Center was completed. Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a tertiary degree in business management. ... Community Psychology makes use of the perspectives of Psychology to address issues of communities, the relationships within them, and peoples attitudes about them. ...

In 1973, President Foy began a cooperative program with area secondary schools, in which selected high school seniors take freshman courses and "bridge" into college. In Fall of 1974, the College expanded its commitment to continuing education by increasing course offerings in the evening division and summer session and in 1984, opened an off-campus extension center in Fishkill. (A second extension center was opened in the Orange County town of Goshen in Fall, 1993.) Fishkill is a town located in Dutchess County, New York, USA. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 20,258. ... The Orange County Government Center in Goshen, N.Y., designed by Paul Rudolph. ...

1980s: Marist finds technology

In 1979, President Richard Foy found other opportunities and was succeeded by Dr. Dennis J. Murray, who remains president today, nearly 30 years later. Dr. Murray has stuck with traditions of the Marist Brothers and developed a vision for the college: he sought out innovation and technology and was determined to grow the student body. During Murray's tenure as president, enrollment doubled, the campus grew to 180 acres, every building on campus was either renovated or newly constructed, and numerous strategic partnerships were formed.

Lowell Thomas Communications Center

One of the first strategic partnerships was formed with International Business Machine (IBM), a major employer in the Mid-Hudson Valley. In 1984, Marist received $2.5 million in equipment and almost $2 million in software from the IBM Corporation to expand academic and administrative uses of computers on campus. Marist and IBM initiated a joint study in 1988 that has placed Marist among the most technologically advanced liberal arts colleges in the country, and gave IBM a testbed to prove concepts and applications they believe will be useful in business, education, and other fields. Marist students actively take part in these research projects.

In 2006, Forbes and The Princeton Review named Marist among the 25 "most connected campuses" in the United States. The Princeton Review’s Vice President and Publisher Rob Franek said, “The schools on our list have demonstrated leadership in preparing and supporting students for life in the digital age. Students who understand the value of technology to both their career prospects and overall quality of life will want to pay special attention to the schools on our list.” The August 2006 edition of Campus Technology magazine named Marist a "Campus Technology Innovator" for the college's "iDentity Quest" podcasting program, which provides iPods to students to record reflections on life in other countries and to share this information with classmates and professors.

Benoit and Gregory need to be replaced, and Marist hopes to build additional housing on the "East Campus" for the Fall 2008 semester for that purpose. These housing expansion plans have been a sore point with the Town of Poughkeepsie, whose residents blame the college for excessive traffic on the Route 9 corridor. The New York State Department of Transportation and Marist College both blame massively increasing population in the Mid-Hudson Valley, a result of the migration of the residents of nearby New York City starting in late 2001. In May, 2007, Marist was granted a variance allowing them to build despite a moratorium on new construction in the area.
