Richard Reitano
Adjunct Professor 
Richard Reitano, Adjunct Professor: B.A., Merrimack College; M.A., Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University; ABD, City University of New York. Richard Reitano is also Emeritus Professor of Government at Dutchess Community College. His chief interests are multilateral diplomacy, the role of the UN in global politics, and American foreign policy in the Vietnam era. Reitano is the recipient of the 2007 State University of New York’s Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. He is a co-author of Multilateral Diplomacy and the United Nations Today, and he is also a co-author of The Dynamics of Multilateralism, scheduled for publication in 2010. Professor Reitano has been published in the Magazine of History (by the Organization of American Historians) and PS (Political Science & Politics) (by the American Political Science Association) (APSA). He has delivered academic papers at annual meetings of APSA, the American Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS), and the International Studies Association (ISA). In 2002, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching selected his course, 1 of 21 selected nationally, on the Model United Nations, offered jointly at Dutchess Community College and Vassar College, as part of a three-year study on students and political involvement in the United States. The purpose of the study was to create a national model so that other college courses could replicate the success of these courses in engaging students in the political process. Professor Reitano’s Political Science course at Vassar on the National Model United Nations (NMUN), prepares a joint student delegation from Vassar and Dutchess Community College to participate in the NMUN in New York City, the largest simulation of the UN in the US on an annual basis (5000 college students from throughout the US and 26 other countries). He is President of the Board of Directors of the National Collegiate Conference Association, which sponsors annual National Model UN (NMUN) simulations in New York City and Washington, D.C. Other NMUN venues include NMUN China (2008) and NMUN Latin America (2010) in Quito, Ecuador. Since 2008, Professor Reitano has been the Director of the Dutchess County BOCES Summer Scholars Program. He is also a long-time teacher in the program.
