Joan was my mom in the truest sense of the word.  As a step-daughter I spent many years trying to bridge the gap between child and step child, trying to figure out what makes a ‘real’ mom…trying to find the steps I would need to be a ‘real’ child not a ‘step’ child.  What I discovered was that, as with all things, Joan, had already figured out what I struggled so long to learn.

Love, respect, perseverance mixed with healthy doses of high expectations, seemingly inexhaustible energy and patience which often morphed into stubbornness as she made her thoughts…or dictates known and more importantly had them obeyed….these were the ingredients she used to build a family where there was once none.

How did she take five vastly different, sometimes insecure and lonely children, two parents, a dog and four cats and bend them to her will?  What tools were in this family building arsenal that she employed?  In a word, her master plan revolved around the all important teaching time known as  “Vacation”

She moved us each spring and summer vacation thru family maneuvers with the precision of a field General.  We were given our marching orders as we prepared for our many trips into the world as a collective unit, orders which we either followed to a “T” or we learned to get out of the way and blame Jill.

Our travels brought us to every historical village, monument , battle site and museum that Joan could use to enrich our knowledge and love of history. She would educate us, expose us to culture and use shared experiences to fill the holes we had lived in.  What she never counted on was that the ways in which  a small and mischievous herd of children would interpret the wonders of history and how this would challenge her own view of the world.

And so our travels and journeys of family discovery began…..history would never be the same for Dr. Joan Iversen….

The stark existence of the Donner pass, the plight of the starving pioneers who built this nation had their image tarnished with the photos of us gorging on oreos…

The sanctity of our nations national monuments were challenged time and time again as we raced to be first, ignoring lines of tourists waiting in line, trampled gardens and spoke thru the entreaties of tour guides and park rangers as we sought bathrooms or a drink to ease our thirst or even  a snack to fill our always hungry bellies,   all the while trying to look like we were paying attention…woe to the one or two of us caught not learning….

"1951 - Thank You Marshall A parade float at the Dutch Flower Festival, expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Marshall Plan."

“1951 – Thank You Marshall
A parade float at the Dutch Flower Festival, expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Marshall Plan.”

But learn we did…we learned to listen to one another, we learned when to fight and when to turn the other check, we learned to be siblings who stood up to and for each other…and Joan learned too…

She learned when to step in and mediate disputes and when to let us figure things out….she learned that children have a tremendous capacity to love but to not always be lovable

Our trips taught her that the best way to share her passion for learning and her love of history was with a sense of humor and by ditching us occasionally to ride the buses endlessly around Colonial Williamsburg while she and dad recovered their strength with a ration of gin and tonics.

Condensing our family time into weeks of vacation, squeezing us into small spaces where we had to be together, were all part of Field Marshall Joan’s master plan.

The successes and occasional failures we encountered as Joan prodded, pushed and persuaded us to assume the roles we have learned to relish are the learning curves we had to follow.  Our travels to Miles Standish, Jekyll Island, Tom’s Cove, Outdoor Resorts, Key Largo Kampground and our summer long trip across country were the encampments that brought us together.

It was Joan’s love and often fiery emotional leadership that brought us to a place of family.  It is her generous nature, her inability to back down, her strength as a women, a teacher, a mom that I will most remember.  It is Joan’s legacy that this family she rebuilt from a place of pain to a position of strength….will endure.  My siblings at arms are raising the next generation of strong, intelligent, sometimes stubborn and  independent children…in the hopes that the love they have learned from us, thru Joan will give them a future as bright as the one she gave us.

She Provided “The Most Thorough, Rich, Intriguing Lessons in History”

My memory is not always clear. Specific facts or events seem to be more like quiet influences. I had always been turned on to learning before entering Oneonta in the Fall of 1976, but I could hardly imagine the desire to not want a lesson to end, like that longing when finishing a book, just wanting more. That is how I recall I felt in the classes I took with Dr. Iversen. She would stand at the podium, (do I recall correctly?), or elbows on her desk and provide the most thorough, rich, intriguing lessons in history. I didn’t want to leave the room. I believe I took every course I could – 20th century American History, women’s history, history through film, history of the 60s. Extraordinary. I am so pleased to offer my recollections, for me just writing this makes me want to return to her classroom but mostly it reminds me that inspiration comes from an authentic love of knowledge. With deep appreciation, I am grateful to have known Dr. Iversen.

Women’s Week at SUCO? What do You Remember?

International Women's Day 2014 Logo

International Women’s Day 2014 Logo

International Women’s day, March 8th, brings back memories for me of the Women’s Week events that my mom, her colleagues, and students organized at the State University College at Oneonta (SUCO). Those were exciting, if exhausting, times. When I was a “tween” and a teen I remember going to hear some of the speakers and just absorbing it all like a sponge: the excitement, energy, activities and political dialogues.

According to Wikipedia, International Women’s day was first celebrated in 1908. The day had a political focus from the start and quickly included women’s suffrage as part of its focus. So in honor of those roots, here’s another card from my mom’s suffrage postcard collection.

And what better way to honor International Women’s Day, those SUCO Women’s Weeks, and Joan Iversen herself than by giving to the Joan Iversen Scholarship? The scholarship will be the first at Oneonta to go to a women’s/gender studies student. We are already past the halfway mark for our scholarship goal. You can donate here and move us one step closer.

What do you remember about the SUCO Women’s Weeks?

“Joan Uncommon” : King Tut’s Mistress Discovered

27 Thursday Feb 2014

Colleague, Friend

Joan Uncommon

I thought people might get a kick out of this joke gift that Mary Lou Ryan, a close friend and colleague of my mom’s, created and gave to her many years ago. It’s very yellowed status attests to its age–it was framed and hung on the wall in our kitchen for more years than I can remember. Reading it over always makes me truly laugh out loud, because it captures my mom perfectly!

“She was fiercely bright, but also extraordinarily accessible and human”

Former Student

20130621_193634I must say that Dr. Iversen was by far the best teacher I had at Oneonta (my second favorite was also a history teacher…what does that say about the English department?). That is high praise indeed coming from a secondary English ed major! I had her for The History of the US since WWII, and it is stating the obvious that she was magnetic and charismatic. We were in a pretty large lecture hall in IRC (I think that was the building), and as diminutive as she was, her spitfire persona filled the large room. But I have a personal anecdote I hope you find amusing and comforting.

Born in 1965, I was a long suffering Met fan when I took her class. It was the fall of 1986, and the Mets were finally a force with which to be reckoned. Unfortunately, they were playing an essential, must win game at the same time as the class’s midterm, The game started at 3:00, and the class was from 5:00-7:30. I went to campus at 3:00 and watched the game in a dorm across from the lecture hall. The game moved fast, and at 5:00, I had to leave to go to class with the Mets hopelessly behind, 3-0, going into the 9th inning. Dr. Iversen decided to run class for the first half, then administer the midterm during the second half of class. Very early into her lecture, there was cheering coming from outside the lecture hall; the Mets made a comeback to take the game into extra innings.

Jesse Orosco falls on his knees after he wins the 1986 World Series for the New York MetsWhen we had our break before the exam, I realized that the other class going on at the time in the lecture hall was watching the game instead of having class (I see the professor who taught that class in my mind’s eye, but cannot remember his name for the life of me. He was a chain smoking, popular government teacher I believe). I said something before the test to Dr. Iversen, tongue in cheek, that I came close to blowing off her test to watch the game across the hall. I got nervous about whether she may have been insulted, but she got it! When the Mets went ahead in the 13th with a run, we heard the cheering from outside, and she dispatched me to find out what was happening. When the Astros tied the game in the bottom of the inning, she again sent me outside to find out what had happened. Believe it or not, when the exam was finished at 7:30, the game was still going on, and I got to watch the end of the amazing victory in the back of the IRC.

I don’t know why that story memory has always stayed with me…probably because she was such an inspiration to me. The story is emblematic of my memory of her: she was fiercely bright, but also extraordinarily accessible and human. As a teacher for 26 years, every once in a while, when I get really passionate about something in my classroom, like teaching Huck Finn, I always feel as if I am channeling Dr. Iversen.

“That steel trap mind never forgot anything”

Jenifer and Bill Whitehill, long time friends, with Joan Iversen (2000)

Jenifer and Bill Whitehill, long time friends, with Joan Iversen (2000)

We met Joan in 1966 when she and I (Bill) began teaching at SUNY Oneonta. That same year, she and Jack became a couple to become constant threads throughout our lives.

Joan was an instant memory bank. That steel trap mind never forgot anything, even within our own family. She advised us on work issues, interior decorating with our limited budget and child rearing. Her advice was always sound. She was always there for us.

I (Jenifer) was teaching K-8 music (!) at SUNY Oneonta’s campus school. Back in those days, boys had music while girls had gym. Jenifer was having an awful time with 8th grade boys who had already had 9 years of student teachers, participators and junior participators. Joan helped me with suggestions and support.

Joan kept up-to-date on our family doings. We kept up on Joan and Jack’s 5 “kids” and even saw some of their performances. She also mailed up-to-date clippings from the New York Times, lest Bill might have missed them. During those early years, Joan quit smoking her 2-3 packs of cigarettes per day….cold turkey. We so admired her, since Jenifer found quitting one pack a day her most difficult accomplishment.

Joan found much happiness with Jack and their blended family. Much of their courtship was spent in our living room where we talked and talked. Apparently that nightly brief hour or two was difficult at home with 5 kids!

It is truly hard for us to believe she’s no longer here. How could such a brilliant, caring, dynamic woman just disappear? We are thankful for the friendship and rich memories.

“There are teachers who come into your life who leave a lasting mark”

There are teachers who come into your life who leave a lasting mark. For me, Joan Iversen was one of them. I was not a history major, but took two of her classes (US after 1945, I think, and History of the 60’s) and those classes were highlights of my education. I was at Oneonta from 79-83. After class, I sometimes stopped for a cigarette. Joan, an ex-smoker, would come up to me and demand, “Blow smoke in my face, blow smoke in my face!”

I feel very, very fortunate that I lucked into her classroom, and it left me with a firm belief in the value of a rounded, liberal arts education. I tell my son at Geneseo, “Just find the best teachers around and take their classes, doesn’t matter what they teach.” And when I say that, I think of Jim Mullen, Pat Meanor, Joan Iversen.

An earlier version of these reflections was read by Nancy Smyth, Joan’s oldest child, at Joan Iversen’s Memorial Service, September 20, 2013.

My mother was a force of nature–a force for the universe to reckon with — we once jokingly called her “Hurricane Joan” not because she destroyed things, but because she was such a big presence, making her own path in the world, with such a large impact. If she decided that your life needed fixing or organizing, you didn’t stand a chance of resisting. Continue reading →

“She came into my life my freshman year…I never let go”

Text book from a course that Susan Healy took with Dr. Iversen

Textbook used in a course that Susan Healy took with Dr. Iversen

She was the most influential educator in my life. There isn’t a day in my US History classroom that I do not invoke her presence.

She came into my life my freshman year (1976). I never let go. I took everything she offered but somehow I could never fit History of the 60s into my schedule. In 1990 when I started my masters in secondary ed, it was the first course I registered for. It was worth the wait. I will be forever grateful.

My Memories of the Women’s Movement

Note: Dr. Davidson, a colleague and friend of Dr. Iversen, shares her reflections on the Women’s Movement, especially at the State University of New York at Oneonta.

MY MEMORIES OF THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT

E. T. A. Davidson (2000)

1. Prelude

I want to say something about who I am, as I think that in a history of feminism, we have to try to understand how and why some women become feminists, while others do not.

In a way, I have always been a feminist, though I did not know this for a long time. I came from a loving family. My mother was a happy homemaker. At the same time, my father was proud of her when she did something unusual, earned money, stood on her own two feet. My father respected and loved his children. Dostoevsky says that the best gift a child can have is a happy childhood. I agree. I was brought up to use my intelligence and to be independent.  Continue reading →

A cat, sitting on top of wrapping paper, staring up at viewer.

What to Get for the Person Who Has Everything?

Do you have someone on your gift list who’s really difficult to find the right gift for and who really appreciates meaningful gifts? Consider giving a gift that shapes the future and honors the legacy of a transformative teacher, Dr. Joan Iversen. Even gifts of $25 can make a difference — read this blog post to see why.

A link to a gift letter is provided, below, that you can download; it could be wrapped up in a box, placed in a stocking, or sent by email. And if you would like, we’ll even acknowledge your gift recipient online.

Just give to the scholarship in one of the two ways:

  • Checks can be made out to the “College at Oneonta Foundation” memo: “Dr. Joan Iversen Memorial Scholarship”-mail to: Office of College Advancement, 308 Netzer Admin Bldg, Oneonta, NY 13820. If you desire, you may add a note that you are donating as a gift in someone else’s name, and add the recipient’s name and address (this is optional).
  • To give to the scholarship online, donate to the College at Oneonta Foundation and choose “Other” under Designation for Funds and specify “Dr. Joan Iversen Memorial Scholarship” in the text box after “Other.” If you desire, you may also add a note that you are donating as a gift in someone else’s name, and add the recipient’s name and address (this is optional).

Letter Describing the gift

A letter that you can give to the recipient that describes the gift can be downloaded below. Two versions are provided, click on the link for the one that you want:

  • an Adobe pdf version of the Scholarship Gift Letter (which requires Adobe Acrobat reader, a free program, to use). This is provided for people who don’t want to bother editing anything and who are afraid they will mess up the formatting of the document. Click on the red link above. It may take about 20 seconds or so to load, but your browser should open up the document. Then place your cursor on the document, RIGHT-click, and choose “Save As” to save to your computer. This usually will be saved in your “Downloads” folder.
  • a Word document version of the Scholarship Gift Letter. The Word file will allow you edit the document– feel free to edit as you desire. Once you click on this link, the file should automatically download to your computer. This usually will be saved in your “Downloads” folder.

Have the Gift Recipient Acknowledged Online

If desired, send an email to Nancy Smyth at smythnj at gmail dot com indicating that you would to have the name of your gift recipient listed in the donors section of the drjoaniversen.com website and describe how you want it listed (and if you want your name listed, too…see the two options below).

1) Gift Made in the Name of John Doe

OR

2) Gift Made in the Name of John Doe by Your Name

Thanks for considering this creative approach to gift giving that also helps to make the world a better place.

I took her History of the 60’s course in 1982. Truly one of my favorite classes at SUCO. She made it seem like she was right there with Kennedy and King and Malcolm X while they were making history. She was mesmerizing as a professor. Every time I go visit the campus and I’m in IRC, I think of her and that course. We were all lucky to have experienced her teaching. Sorry to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace knowing that she had such an amazing effect on so many young people.
