Scarborough ’77 Noted in Listing of Famous Graduates of Liberal Arts Colleges

Dean A. Scarborough ’77, president and chief executive officer at Avery Dennison, is listed among “Famous Graduates of Liberal Arts Colleges” in the Montgomery Educational Consulting’s blog.

Scarborough joined Avery Dennison in 1983, just a few years after earning his M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, and served in increasingly responsible positions, moving up the ranks and culminating in his appointment as president and CEO in 2005. According to its Web site, Avery Dennison’s products include pressure-sensitive labeling materials, graphics imaging media, retail apparel ticketing and branding systems, RFID inlays and tags, office products, specialty tapes and a variety of specialized labels for automotive, industrial and durable goods applications. It’s no small pickings, either. For 2008, sales were $6.7 billion and the company ranked 376 on the 2008 Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. industrial and service companies.

Although he graduated and left the College over 30 years ago, Scarborough never left Hiram behind. He has been returning – and giving back in many ways – all along, and serves on Hiram’s board of trustees.

Mitchell’s Mix-Master Finds Perfect Blend for Success

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of attending the Center for Integrated Entrepreneurship’s fireside chat with Mike Mitchell, who with his older brother Pete founded Mitchell’s Ice Cream in 1999. Mitchell’s serves their hand-made ice cream in four Cleveland-area stores, and distributes to about 50 grocers and restaurants. Along with a group of Hiram’s entrepreneurship students, I learned about the genesis of one of my favorite hangouts and how Mitchell and his brother have stayed focused on their original vision for the popular ice cream chain.

Mitchell, a philosophy graduate from The Ohio State University, was in Seattle with his brother when they came up with the idea to open a small business. Out on the town one night, they were looking for a place to have dessert—ice cream, in particular. To their surprise, they came up empty. That’s when it struck them. Their life’s work became about fulfilling what they thought was a very common want in peoples’ lives.

The westside Cleveland natives, not being familiar with the Seattle market, returned to their hometown to open their first store. Today Mitchell’s Ice Cream serves a million customers a year by Mitchell’s best estimate. However the real lesson for Hiram’s students is not how to keep a business growing, but how to keep focused on what you love to do.

“I wouldn’t trade my job for anything in the world,” said Mitchell. “I love my job.” Mitchell’s passion is his ice cream. And he’s clear about his goals. He wants to offer the best ice cream experience in Cleveland. For Mitchell, it’s not about market share or profits.

“We don’t want to be the biggest ice cream company, just the most special,” he said.

“We have an important role in peoples’ lives,” Mitchell explained. “Maybe you’re having a bad day, out on a date, or celebrating something special,” whatever the circumstances, Mitchell’s Ice Cream is about the customer’s experience.

His commitment permeates every level of the organization.

Sophomore Jamie Zychowski and her sister, first-year student Rose Zychowski of Lakewood, Ohio, are former part-time employees of Mitchell’s Rocky River store and talked about their experiences.

“It was my first job and I quickly learned that the key to their success was their customer service,” said Jamie Zychowski, who even as a temporary employee had extensive training in customer relations. “When you go into Mitchell’s, it is all about the experience.”

Mitchell and his brother control every detail of their stores, from their cleanliness to how their employees greet their customers with a smile. The Zychowskis added that the owners frequently work alongside their part-timers, creating a welcoming, family atmosphere.

“It’s a lot of fun,” added Rose Zychowski.

Keeping such razor-sharp focus on your core values isn’t always easy, Mitchell said. Just a few years after opening their first store, they partnered with then-Cleveland Indian Omar Vizquel for a product line marketed under the baseball star’s name. It was a great idea that didn’t work out as well as he hoped. Mitchell’s made investments into new products, including specialized containers, which ultimately didn’t sell well. Mitchell learned an important lesson: keep it simple.

Since then, he’s been approached many times to open new stores, create new brands or expand his distribution. Always mindful of his Omar Vizquel experience, he turns most of them down to preserve his company’s focus on creating a meaningful experience for customers.

Hiram’s entrepreneurship students asked many questions of Mitchell, especially about how the current economic conditions have affected the ice cream business. Mitchell explained that while his costs from suppliers fluctuate, the demand for his traditional, hand-made hard ice cream has increased. Americans may cut back on major expenses, but they still want inexpensive treats and fun times with their family and friends.

The fireside chat ended with a sampling of ice creams and sorbets, and I could not refuse a generous serving of the chocolate peanut butter cup. Suffice it to say that no one raced out of the lobby of the Burton D. Morgan Entrepreneurship Center at the end of the evening.

Quite by accident, I met Mitchell for dinner with Kay Molkentin, Co-Director of the Center for Integrated Entrepreneurship. Mitchell, who considers himself as much “mix-master” as “president” at his company, shared some of his plans about new upcoming ice cream flavors and I am intrigued by what he has in the works. I’d rather not spoil the surprise, so you’ll have to visit one of Mitchell’s locations in Rocky River, Westlake, Solon or Beachwood to try them for yourself. You’ll probably see me there.

2010 Baseball Preview

HIRAM, OHIO — The Hiram College baseball team is closing in on the start of the 2010 season in which the Terriers look to build and improve from last year.

Last spring, Hiram finished with a 3-30 overall record and 0-16 in the North Coast Athletic Conference. The Terriers will also be without senior All-NCAC players Craig Dobos and Mark Reifsnyder as well as seniors Joe Trela and Jeremy Barchie.

Dobos became a three-time All-NCAC award winner last year and was the team’s best hitter with a team and league-leading .444 average (44-of-99), including a team-tying high 11 doubles, a triple, 20 runs scored and 18 runs batted in.

This spring, Hiram will be led by four seniors in All-NCAC players Kyle Kovach (Garfield Heights) and Justin Street (Warren/Howland) as well as Matt Rinaldi (Cape Coral, Fla./Cape Coral) and Anthony Maruca (Warren/Champion).

Kovach will make his return to the lineup after an injury seven games into the season, placed him on the injured list for the season of the year. Prior to his injury, he batted .190 at the plate (four-of-21) with one triple and a run batted in.

Dunn had a team-leading 21 RBI, was second in homeruns with three and third in doubles with six. He also scored 14 runs and had an impressive .977 fielding percentage as the team’s starting first baseman.

The pitching corps will be led by juniors Andy Marsh (Orwell/Grand Valley), Bubba Thurner (Pittsburgh, Pa./Brashear) and sophomores Chris Wilson (Geneva), John Colla (Austintown/Ursuline) and Ed Wolfe (Utica).

Thurner and Wilson made the most appearances last season amongst the returning pitchers with Thurner playing in 12 games, including four starts, and Wilson seeing action in 10 games, including a start.

2010 Softball Preview

HIRAM, OHIO — The 2009 season was a milestone for the Hiram College softball program as the Terriers posted a school record 27 victories (27-16 overall, 10-4 NCAC), including a first-ever North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament Championship and a first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III National Tournament. The 2010 squad will look to continue the momentum this spring.

One of the challenges that this season’s team will have to face is overcoming the loss of five senior players in Stephanie Zunic, Chastine Romanello, Rosie Frank, Megan Samuel and Heidi Gipson. All five had standout four-year careers capped by a combined two All-Region awards, 1 NCAC Tournament Most Valuable Player, 13 All-NCAC awards and 14 single-season and career individual records.

The Terriers will have their share of returning players from last year’s record-setting team, including senior two-time first-team All-NCAC pitcher/outfielder and 2009 NCAC Player of the Year Whitney Dropsey (Ashland/Hillsdale).

Dropsey has already had a stellar softball career at Hiram setting single-season records for games pitched (34), wins (18), strikeouts (137) and innings pitched (182.1) as a junior. Overall, she ended the year with an 18-9 record in 34 appearances, including 25 starts, and pitched 15 complete games with a team-best 2.11 earned run average. This season, she will look to lead the team back to the NCAC and NCAA postseasons. In addition to a record year as a pitcher in 2009, she also was fourth on the team in hitting with a .339 batting average (43-of-127) with five doubles, 27 runs scored and 18 RBI. She was second on the team in stolen bases with 11 (11-of-12 overall). One national streak came to an end last season for Dropsey with her first career strikeout that came during the conference tournament. Prior to that game, she had a streak of 354 at-bats and nearly three seasons, without a strikeout. After three complete seasons, she has now gone 370 at-bats with only one strikeout while posting a .343 career batting average (127-of-37). Following the season, Dropsey was tabbed first-team Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division III All-Central Region in addition to earning All-Conference accolades.

Joining Dropsey, will be senior Ashley Crowder (North Lewisburg/Triad) and juniors Sarah Padilla (Ontario, Calif./Colony), Jena Ervin (Canfield) and Alati Gagne (Gorham, N.H./Gorham).

Crowder saw playing time in 26 games primarily as a pinch runner and hitter. She batted .300 at the plate (three-of-10) with eight runs scored and a RBI. She also saw action as a backup pitcher having made five appearances, including two starts, and posting a 5.88 ERA with a 1-0 record and one strikeout in eight-and-a-third innings.

Padilla was the team’s number two pitcher and finished the 2009 season with a 6-6 record in 25 appearances and 11 starts. She was second in strikeouts (38), innings pitched (74.0) and was third on the team in ERA at 3.88.

Ervin played in and started all but one game last season as the team’s starting catcher. At the plate, she had a .276 batting average (32-of-116) with a homerun, eight doubles, 19 runs scored and 16 RBI.

Gagne was the team’s third pitcher who started five games and made nine overall appearances. She finished her sophomore season with a 2-1 record and a 3.72 ERA. She tallied six strikeouts for the season in 26-and-a-third innings pitched.

Also making her return to the team this season after taking the 2009 year off, will be junior Kelly Langland (Batavia/ McNicholas). As a freshman in 2008, Langland batted .330 (33-of-100) with two triples, eight doubles, 10 RBI and was third on the team in runs scored with 18. She also stole eight bases in 10 attempts.

Other returning lettermen include sophomores Erin Kellar (Canal Fulton/ Northwest), Libby Swanson (Aurora), Marlene Smith (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Trinity), Ashley Pike (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) and Kristen Cooney (North Lewsiburg/Triad).

Kellar, Smith, Pike and Cooney each saw significant playing time in their first seasons with the program. Cooney played in 41 games, including 37 starts, at right field and finished second on the team in batting average at .398 (41-of-103) and tied the school single-season record in stolen bases with 17. Smith and Pike also had major starting roles last spring. Pike played in 42 games and had a .287 batting average with one homerun, four doubles, 10 runs scored and 14 RBI. Smith saw playing time in 41 games in the outfield and batted .241 (13-of-54) with a homerun, four doubles, 13 runs scored and 11 RBI. Kellar saw time primarily as a pinch runner and scored 10 runs in 28 games.

The Hiram softball team will also have seven newcomers listed on the roster heading into preseason training.
