James Callahan and Anthony Campilii flank Richard Foy before the dedication ceremony for the Foy Townhouses.

Dr. James Callahan is a 1962 graduate of Marist, one of Rich Foy's first students. (Foy taught at least one course in applied mathematics or computer science every semester he was President.)  He followed Foy to New York University, making use of a National Science Foundation Fellowship.  Upon completion of his doctorate, he taught several years at Harvard University, then moved to Smith College, where he is professor of mathematics.  He spent several sabbaticals in England, concentrating on catastrophe theory, a new field in mathematics, and has authored several books.  While at Marist he rowed crew, edited the school newspaper and the 1962 yearbook.  Jim is one of four students of the small class of 1962 to earn doctorates in mathematics.

Another graduate of the class of 1962, Anthony Campilii came to Marist after receiving his associate degree from Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, symbolic in a way of Marist's early interest in cooperating with the growing two year college movement instead of resisting it.  He too rowed crew, and majored in business.  Although only twenty years old, Foy tapped him on graduation as his assistant for finance matters.  He quickly grew into the chief financial officer position, relieving Foy of that responsibility, and has remained the chief financial officer at Marist to this day.  Currently he supervises a $100 million annual budget, and has handled over $150 million of construction projects during his four decades at Marist.  Tony earned his MBA degree from Marist.
