iPADS MAKE TRIP TO NYC WITH FIFTH GRADE STUDENTSFifth grade students at The Green Vale School in Old Brookville have been using iPads in all of their classes since the fi rst day of school this year as part of a 1:1 pilot program. The iPads serve as planners, notebooks and textbooks, and it is expected that this use will allow students to become better organized and more independent learners. As a bonus, they brought their iPads with them on a fi eld trip to the American Museum of Natural History in New York -- so that they could complete a scavenger hunt!

The “hunt” in the museum started with an email to the students the day before the trip, and involved fi nding information aboutparticular artifacts and fossils so that photos they were given could be properly annotated. A few of the tasks also involved using their iPads to take pictures of certain exhibits. According to the fi fth-grade teacher who designed the hunt, “the scavenger hunt was intentionally non-linear, and the kids moved through the Hall of Human Origins at their own pace...students were very engaged as they moved about the exhibits.”

Barry Joseph, the Associate Director of Digital Learning & Youth Initiatives at AMNH spent some time with the fi fth gradestudents. He was so impressed that he blogged about the students, their work and enthusiasm, and their teachers, “We entered the Hall of Biodiversity and there we see an entire class of students moving about the room, in deep engagement, each holding and working with an iPad. This is not a common sight at the Museum. It was exciting to see not only how the iPad supported the young students’ educational experience, but how the teacher used his ability to create digital material to make his own, self-directed interface between the students and the AMNH’s already remarkable exhibit.”

iPAD USE IN OTHER GRADESJulie Rooney, Director of Instructional Technology, recently described the introduction of iPads to the Green Vale campus, “Sixteen are now available for classes in the Early Childhood Center, another sixteen are based in the Lower School Library and 44 were handed out to fifth-grade students as part of a 1:1 pilot program. The goal this year is to enhance individual learning while helping students navigate the digital world as strong students and good citizens.”

Jen Moreano, Lower School Librarian, is delighted with the School’s commitment to bring iPads to campus. “Making iPads available to grades one to four in the library, and in the classrooms when checked out by teachers, is exciting. These devices are a fabulous tool for our students to access information. Having this additional resource at their fi ngertips will enhance and support our curriculum seamlessly.”

THE GREEN VALE SCHOOLGreen Vale’s nursery through middle school program serves children from over thirty school districts on Long Island. Since 1923, the school’s careful attention to academic preparation and character development has led to outstanding high school and college placements for Green Vale graduates.

Suggestions to make sure thatstudents minimize their actual

out-of-pocket college costsBy Ronald Scaglia

[email protected]

A s high school seniors contemplate their optionsfor college, many will be influenced by howmuch financial aid is awarded to them. Accord-

ingly, students and their parents should make sure theytake care of everything that needs to be done in order tomaximize the financial aid amount that is awardedfrom the colleges applied to. Joanne Graziano, associ-ate provost of student financial services at LIU Post,advises students to make sure that the following stepsare attended to.1. Get Your Admissions Application Completed and

SubmittedWhile the decision of which college to attend may

hinge on how much financial aid is awarded, theawarding of financial aid hinges on the student’s appli-cation. Therefore, Graziano says that one of the biggeststeps for prospective students, is to get their admissionsapplication in order. She says that students should getall of their supporting credentials to the college admis-sion offices of schools they are considering and shealso advises that students need to be aware of the dead-lines for doing so.“Financial aid can never be awarded without a deci-

sion on admission,” she explains. She adds that manyschools now have an admissions portal, so students cango online to see the status of their application and learnwhat’s been received and what hasn’t, so they know anupdated status of their application and can resolve any

issues before a deadline passes.2. See What You’ve EarnedGraziano says that many colleges award merit based

scholarships without regard to the financial status ofthe student. She says these scholarships are based on

high school grade-point averages and SAT scores.“That’s without even filing the Free Application for

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.)continued on page 4

Navigating Through Financial Aid Steps

With the high cost of college tuition, students and their families will strive to be awarded as much financialaid as possible.


3. File The College Scholarship Service Profile ApplicationMany colleges are now requiring students to file the College Scholarship Service

Profile Application in addition to the FAFSA. However, unlike the FAFSA, which isnot available until January 1, the College Scholarship Service Profile Applicationmay be filed now. Graziano explains that the College Scholarship Service ProfileApplication requires more detailed information than the FAFSA.“Some colleges would like to make sure they are awarding their open dollars to

the students that need it the most,” Graziano comments, “But since there are only somany dollars to go around, they ask additional questions to find out what a family’strue ability to pay is.”4. Get Your Taxes Done EarlyThose who have to file an FAFSA form fill find it much easier to do so if their

taxes are completed. According to Graziano, FAFSA now provides an IRS retrievaldata tool, which simplifies the process. Therefore, Graziano advises parents to filetheir taxes as early as possible.5. Take Advantage Of WorkshopsThere are many workshops offered to help teach parents about the financial aid process.

Graziano advises parents to take advantage of these opportunities to learn as much infor-mation as possible. She says that many highschools have financial aid nights, in whicha financial aid expert provides line-by-lineinstructions on how to complete financialaid forms. Public libraries often offer theseworkshops as well. Graziano adds that LIUPost also offers these workshops and to allparents, even those of children are not con-sidering LIU Post.6. Determine The True CostWhen the information is available,

Graziano stresses that families shouldanalyze the data and determine what thetrue cost of attending college will be.She says that families need to considertuition as well as fees, room and boardexpense and other information to deter-mine exactly how much it will cost a

family per year. Some may find that when the math is actually done, it will be lessexpensive to attend a school with a higher tuition price, because one school is offer-ing more financial aid and has lower fees and lower room and board costs.In addition, Graziano also suggests that when a financial aid packet is received,

the family should contact the school promptly. She says this will help the family bet-ter plan for the actual costs, so that the student not only meets the financial obliga-tions of the first year, but also can complete the program and earn a degree.“I want to get them through the first year, but ultimately I want to get them

through all four years and their degree,” Graziano states.7. Make Use Of Net Price Tuition CalculatorsGraziano also advises that students and their families make use of net price tuition

calculators, which are available on college websites. After inputting academic and fi-nancial information, an estimate of tuition costs can be determined.8. Look Into Work OpportunitiesAs one last piece of advice, Graziano also suggests that families ask about oppor-

tunities for on campus employment. She says that on campus employment can helpdefray some of the costs of college, and can also help students feel a stronger con-nection to their school.

Financial Aid Steps

Parents of students applying to college should complete their income tax assoon as possible to help them complete financial aid forms.

By Buckley Headmaster Dr. Jean-Marc Juhel

The � eld of education has been prone to frequent reforms; yet often schools remain slow to adjust to societal and technological changes. Most pedagogical reforms have tended to replace one approach to teaching with another. When schools realized the transformative impact of technology, not only on their students’ lives, but also on the way they think and process information, their doors opened to new technologies. Most schools have now come to terms with the fact that technology is here to stay. Schools also know from wisdom accumulated over the centuries this simple truth: meaningful, life-long learning rarely fully occurs without a skilled teacher able to nurture the human interactions that spark learning. Think about learning a new language from a computer alone as opposed to learning from a teacher who can present all the linguistic and cultural nuances of the language. Conversely, think about the power of technology that puts endless cultural situations with a multitude of native speakers at one’s � ngertips.

A new concept, “blended learning,” combines face-to-face teaching with computer-mediated, online learning. One of the most remarkable tools used to implement blended learning is the Khan Academy website which contains thousands of short video tutorials for K-12 students in subjects ranging from mathematics to chemistry and history. This website provides feedback to students and ways for them to track their individual progress.

With millions of unique users each month, Khan Academy has transformed traditional thinking about teaching and learning and has challenged the traditional sequence of classroom instruction followed by homework for students to apply the skills taught in class. The Khan Academy website enables students to acquire basic instruction at home and apply the acquired new knowledge at school with their teachers as coaches. “Flip teaching,” as this innovative, student-centered approach has been coined, o� ers opportunities for both teachers and students: it optimizes classroom time; it enables teachers to further di� erentiate their instruction; students take greater ownership of their learning and adjust it to their own pace, own interests and own learning modalities.

Several Buckley teachers have started using the resources o� ered by Khan Academy to support their curriculum. Over the summer, for instance, students were asked to practice their math skills on the Khan Academy website. Teachers were able to track their students’ progress and give them goals tailored to their achievements.

This fall, in support of innovative learning at Buckley, Chair of the Board of Trustees Val DiFebo and her husband, Dick Byrne, underwrote the purchase of iPads for every Buckley teacher. Subsequently, two grandparents o� ered another 20 iPads “to express their excitement for the wonderful learning and innovative teaching that is happening every day at Buckley.”

It’s Not YourParent’s

ClassroomAs society has changed,successful teachers have

moved with the timesBy Ronald Scaglia

[email protected]

G roups of people are discussing business strate-gy for Coca-Coca. They are using their busi-ness knowledge to make decisions to steer the

beverage giant towards greater profitability. However,the meeting is not taking place in a boardroom or anexecutive office building, but is happening in a class-room at Farmingdale State College. High level execu-tives are not discussing the strategy. Discussing thesepivotal decisions are students in Sarbjit Singh’s class.Singh is an assistant professor at Farmingdale StateCollege.“The thing that stands out for me is the idea of ac-

tive learning - service learning,” says Singh. “Tryingto have instances in class where we’re doing morepractice oriented work.”Singh says that instruction in college classrooms

has changed drastically over the past two decades. Hesays that because of the technology that today’s stu-dents have grown up with, they expect everything tobe instant and practical.“There’s no such thing as a traditional lecture,” con-

curs Dr. Victor Fornari, director of the division ofChild and Adolescent Psychiatry at Zucker HillsideHospital. The psychiatrist says that today’s studentsexpect everything to be practical, prompt and brief andtherefore lessons have to engage students in differentways than teachers of the past did.To accomplish this, Singh says that instead of hav-

ing him teach the students, he tries to empower his stu-dents so that they teach each other. Singh, like othercontemporary teachers, are diverting the attention inthe classroom away for themselves and towards the

students. The Coca-Cola activity is a fine example ofthis. Instead of simply telling students what successfulbusiness strategies are, Singh empowers his studentsso they find this out for themselves.“Instead of just taking notes, they’re engaging with

the material,” he says. “They’ve got to be lifelonglearners. We’re trying to give them that excitement forlearning. If they want to succeed, there are a lot of op-portunities.”

America’s largest summer arts day camp was formed to introduce young people, ages 6-18, to the arts through performance and study with a professional faculty of artist-teachers. The Center’s mission is to provide children with the arts as a companion for life through great teaching, and the camaraderie of fellow students who share a love of the arts. Usdan offers more than 40 pro-grams in music, dance, theater, visual arts, chess, creative writing, organic gardening, nature and ecology. No audition is required for most Usdan programs, and one-third of the Center’s 1,600 students receive tuition assistance to study at Usdan. Children commute to the Center every weekday for 7 weeks each summer, travelling on air-condi-tioned buses that leave from most New York metropolitan-area neighborhoods. A special feature of the students’ daily program is the Center’s series of Festival Concerts, daily educational performances by distinguished artists, such as the Tokyo String Quartet, Empire Brass, jazz legends Jimmy Heath and Bobby Watson, the Limon Dance Company and cast members of current Broadway shows. Although the Center’s goal is to encourage participation in the arts, Usdan’s unique program has also inspired many former students to go on to professional careers. Alumni include actors Natalie Portman and Olivia Thirlby, Tony Award-winning playwright Michele Lowe,singers Mariah Carey and Jane Monheit, and members of the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, and numerous ballet companies including Pacifi c Northwest, Ballet San Jose, American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet. Usdan Center is an agency of UJA-Federation of New York.

Dr. Laurie Rozakis is a professor of English and a colleague of Singh. She con-curs that there has been a movement in education to make students more responsiblefor the teaching and learning that goes on in a classroom.“We’ve moved from the sage on the stage to the guide on the side,” Rozakis says.As an example, she speaks of analyzing the Declaration of Independence. In the past,

she might have asked her students if the document is an example of inductive or deduc-tive reasoning. However, if she were to do that today, her students would take out theirsmartphones and through the help of a search engine, find an answer in about 30 sec-onds. So instead, she will put her students into small groups and have them figure it out.For homework, instead of having students support their position, which they could easilydo with information that is readily available online, they will write their own declaration.As another example, she says in the past, she might have given her students one of

Emerson’s writings without identify-ing him as the author, and then wouldask students to identify who the authoris. Today, it is too easy for students touse technology to quickly figure outthat Emerson is the author, so insteadshe might give students an example ofEmerson’s work and identify him asthe author, but then ask students howthat deduction could be reached.However, that’s not to say that

Rozakis shies away from technolo-gy. In fact, she embraces it. She hasher own web page and a blog, andshe frequently incorporates it intoher teaching.“Our computer labs are really fabu-

lous,” she says of SUNY Farmingdale.“We have the best stuff in our labs.”And Rozakis makes sure that her

students make full use of technologyand will continue to do so in theirlives. She emphasizes that studentswill need technology skills to succeedin their own lives such as business

owners who use social networking to attract customers or students who stand out from thecrowd in a job search because they have a professional looking website, their own webpage, and a professional email address, all accomplished through the use of technology.“We have to teach them not to fear the future,” she emphasizes. “I’m very fortu-

nate because I have the technology.”And while the tools used in teaching may have changed, one thing that Rozakis

says has not is the need to create interesting lessons that captivate students. Whilemany say that a professor giving a lecture is a style of the past, Rozakis says it neverwas a good method, even many years ago when telephones were hung on a wall orsat on a desk with a cord, and were not carried around in students’ pockets.“Boring was boring 20 years ago,” she says.She recalls one of her favorite professors, who began an economics class by throwing

money on the floor. That teacher engaged his students. Even though he didn’t havemodern technology, he still prepared lessons that were interesting and fun for students.Rozakis says she and other successful professors are employing the same techniques.“At Farmingdale, because our class sizes tend to be very small, we’re very interactive,”

she says. “Our professors take a verypersonal interest.”As technology continues to

evolve, successful teachers willevolve with it. It’s becoming moreimportant for instructors to teachtheir students how to learn, insteadof what to learn. As those studentsthen go out into the workforce, theywill be able to keep up with all ofthese changes that occur after theyhave left college.“A great way to think about it is,

it’s not just about the knowledge, it’sabout the process,” says Singh. “CanI help them engage with the materialso they’re interested and spendingmore team with the material?”Perhaps the best way to summa-

rize modern teaching methods is toquote an ancient proverb that teach-ers have been quoting in class-rooms for years. “Give a man a fishand you feed him for a day. Teach aman to fish, and you feed him for alifetime.”

Professors who simply lecture in their classes will find their students are quicklybored in class.

Advice on dealing with a difficult roommateBy Ronald Scaglia

[email protected]

M any television programs, from the Odd Couple in the ’70s to Two and aHalf Men, which is presently on the air, have found much comedy in thepremise of mismatched roommates trying to share a living space. However,

college students who find themselves sharing a living space with someone who theysimply cannot get along with, will find nothing humorous about it.“The schools realize that it’s important to try and make a good fit for roommates,”

says Dr. Victor Fornari, director of the division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry atZucker Hillside Hospital. “Universities are more mindful about putting together peo-ple who they think will share interests [such as members of the football team, engi-neering majors, theatre students etc.] Even with all that said, sometimes it’s hard forroommates to be compatible.”If a college student is paired with a roommate who has a conflicting personality,

what can be done to make the best of the situation? Fornari says that for roommates toget along, they must be respectful of each other. As an example, a night owl should notbounce into a room late and make a huge racket if the other roommate is sleeping andhas an early class in the morning. In addition, roommates should respect each other’sproperty and not borrow items without receiving permission. Fornari suggests thatthere should be two of each item that may be shared, with an understanding of whichitem belongs to which roommate. And roommates should never come back and findtheir belongings on the floor, or in any other place except where they left them.“At the very least they have to be respectful of each other,” says Fornari.Students with different lifestyles should also need to be mindful of it. Even though

most dorms are smoke-free, the smell of smoke on one roommate might bother thenonsmoker. If one roommate enjoys partying and indulges in alcohol and other sub-stances, it can make life difficult for the roommate who doesn’t. To have a good rela-tionship, both roommates have to be aware of the differences and make accommoda-tions that are respectful to both sides.“As roommates develop relationships, respecting that their rooms are shared spaces

so one roommate doesn’t walk in if the other is with their partner,” advises Fornari.However, Fornari also says that he finds the current generation of college students

has difficulty being respectful to one another. He says that because of technologysuch as texting and social media, today’s college students have grown up in a world

where they say things without consequences, because they’re not used to actuallyspeaking to or seeing the person who they are commenting on.“This generation is used to instant communication,” says Fornari. “They say it and

they click it without stopping and thinking before they send it. The millennium gen-eration, the group born after 1992, that group really needs to be educated about whatrespect and patience means.”While most roommates will get along just fine, or at least well enough so that both

can go about their work, it can be quite troubling when personalities conflict. It canlead to bullying and one roommate attempting to isolate the other from a circle offriends. Recent news headlines have brought the issue to the forefront such as the tragicstory of the Rutgers University student who committed suicide after his roommate se-

A conflict with a roommate can ruin the college experience and even make aca-demics difficult for a student.

At Farmingdale, students have abundant opportunities in experiential learning—internships, clinical training, and guided research—that provide practical instruction and personal growth.

All of this at a great value, with SUNY tuition costing only about $6,000 a year.

No wonder Farmingdale has been ranked as one of the top colleges in the North by US News &World Report. And why Farmingdale ranked in the top fi ve in the category of Least Student Debt.

Small, personalized classes, a lush 380-acre campus and a highly successful NCAA Division III athletics program with modern facilities are some of the advantages Farmingdale State students experience while preparing for a whole new world—the real world.

For instance, grants from Department of Education totaling over $3 million funded the creation of learning communities. Students can immerse themselves in subjects – either by adopting the persona of Benjamin Franklin for a course on the American Revolution or programming LEGO robots for a robotics competition.

Baccalaureate programs include Telecommunications, Sport Management, and Medical Technology. Unique offerings include the only 4-year Aviation program in a New York public college and the only 4-year Dental Hygiene program in the region. Our Solar Energy Center and Institute for Research and Technology Transfer are engaged in pioneering research to develop alternative energy.

Farmingdale is Growing.

Groundbreaking ceremonies were recently held for a new building for the School of Business. A new Campus Center containing dining facilities, a bookstore, and lounge to stimulate student-faculty interactions opens in January 2013.

Enrollment reached 8,000 this fall. Our enrollment of full-time students has increased 80% since 2000—one of the highest percentage increases in SUNY. Why is Farmingdale so popular?

• Attractive and challenging academic programs • Ranked in the top 150 public colleges nationally in earnings power of its graduates by Payscale.com

• Expert faculty• Affordable SUNY tuition—just $6,000 annually

• Close to home. • Extensive partnership with local businesses

More than 600 students are living on campus. Residence halls offer modern amenities and a social setting where you’ll make friends for life.

Students Are the Priority

At Farmingdale, we strive to put students first. In fact, our initiative—Students First—is designedto enhance the total student experience whether it’s through designing dynamic activities, streamlining registration procedures, or creating an environment conducive to learning.

cretly recorded a video of him and then posted it on so-cial media. While that was, as Fornari puts it, “An ex-treme case of the ultimate betrayal,” it does show theneed for students to feel safe within their living space.If a relationship between roommates is not working,

Fornari says that seeking out a resident advisor mightbe a solution. Dr. Laurie Rozakis is a professor of Eng-lish at Farmingdale State University as well as the au-thor of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to College Survival.She concurs that resident advisors can be very helpful.“Resident advisors are extremely vetted and very

well trained,” she says.However, Rozakis also advises that students who

feel the conflict cannot be settled, speak to their resi-dent advisor and seek a change of roommates. Whileshe says that 10 years ago, she would have encouragedstudents to try and work things out, she sees thechanges in this generation that Fornari spoke of, andshe advises students to seek out a new roommate if adifficult situation arises, especially if they feel they arein danger. She says that students who feel threatenedshould seek a change immediately.“There are people who are dangerous,” cautions

Rozakis. “If you have a problem, stay with your resi-dent advisor and then get a different room. It will affectyour academic performance.”One suggestion that Rozakis has to help avoid a conflict with a roommate is for

students to consider living in a suite with five, six, or even seven roommates. Thisgoes to the concept of strength in numbers, so if there is a problem with a difficultroommate, instead of one student having to confront this individual alone, the groupcan do so. Rozakis says that she made her children stay in suites when they attendedcollege and it worked out very well.Some might consider staying off campus, so they don’t get stuck with a difficult

roommate. However, Fornari does not recommend this.

“Living in a dorm is best because it is a more controlled environment,” saysFornari.”He adds that some schools require out of state students to live on campus and not

have a car. This is to prevent alcohol related accidents among college students. Hesays that accidents due to alcohol kill more youths than any other reason.However, although roommate horror stories may make students want to commute

to school instead of being placed in a difficult situation, most of the time it works outjust fine and doesn’t turn into a television sitcom.“The schools realize that it’s important to try and make a good fit,” states Fornari.

I Can’t Stand MyCollege Roommate

If one roommate is very well organized, it can be very difficult to share a living space with someone whosebelongings are kept in a manner such as this.



For most teenagers, spending money seems to come naturally. But that doesn’t mean they know how to manage it. In fact, the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy recently found that only 10% of 12th-graders could satisfactorily answer questions about personal fi nance.Some couldn’t balance a checkbook. Yet many high school students have, and regularly use, credit cards – with little or no understanding of how interest rates, skipped payments or continual high balances can impact a person’s fi nancial future. So whether you’ve already begun the process of instilling sound money management in your teen or you’re searching for ways to begin, you may fi nd the following tips helpful.

Lead by example. Take a look in the mirror. If, for instance, you budget effectively, invest wisely, pay down debt and donate to charity, most likely your children will learn by example. Financial responsibility is one area where a parent’s actions defi nitely speak louder than words.

Talk about money management. As soon as your child begins to earn money, it is important that he or she thinks about how to manage the income. A budget may seem annoying and a little extreme – but a basic plan may set the tone for jumpstarting your teen’s fi nancial future while still leaving money to buy the things that will help him or her enjoy today. Your teenager’s desire for a new video game, phone, computer or car can work to your advantage.

At this stage, you can begin to have periodic family fi nancial discussions. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your teenager needs to know your total income or the amount of your home mortgage. But you can certainly begin to familiarize your teenager with the family budget, fi nancialchallenges you may be facing, some of the family’s longer-term goals and priorities, and perhaps how he or she can help you make progress toward these goals.

Encourage your child to start saving early. Even if in the beginning your teenager is more into buying new clothes for the school dance rather than putting away money for medical school, saving as early as possible for whatever the goal maybe is key. And no matter the size of the pay-check, help your child recognize the importance of always saving a portion of what she earns. Practicing good savings habits early can result in developing wise money management skills that can last a lifetime. Your Financial Advisor can advise you and your teen on a variety of investment accounts designed for saving money: savings accounts, Certifi cates of Deposit (CDs), mutual funds and money market accounts are just some of the options.

Stress the importance of establishing responsible credit. There are several ways for a teenager to establish responsible credit – by opening a checking account, using their savings to secure a loan or getting a secured credit card. If your older teen (or college-bound student) wants a credit card, you might seize the opportunity to have a serious talk or two about spending. In general, teens with credit cards are less price-conscious and often spend more than they should. While credit cards are a very common and popular way to help a teenager establish a credit history, when misused the cards can also cost a lot of money. Paying credit card bills late, not paying off balances in full each month and incurring late payment fees are shortcuts for teens getting in over their heads.

Explain credit scores. Make sure your teenager understands that once anyone has created a bad credit history, it can take a long time to recover. A bad credit score can keep your teen from getting a job after college or a mortgage on a home. In all fairness, your teenage son or daughter may not even know what a credit score is. Simply put, a credit score is a snapshot of a person’s credit risk at a particular point in his or her credit history. The score helps a lender determine how likely you are to repay your debt on time. For teens with no credit history, no score can be computed.

You can help your teenager understand that one of the keys to qualifying for the loan he or she will want someday at a competitive rate is a strong credit score. Even beyond being a key indicator of whether or not an applicant can qualify for a mortgage or line of credit, credit scores are used in other ways that affect people’s lives. For instance, it’s been reported in The Wall Street Journal that one in six companies use credit scores before extending a job offer.*

Diplomas don’t grow on trees either

By Ronald [email protected]

F ast food is a staple of many col-lege students’ diets. It’s cheap forstudents who are watching every

dime as they struggle with tuition bills. It’sconvenient as students can grab a quickbite in a drive through as they hustle be-tween classes, the library, a job, or othercollege activities. It’s healthy be-cause...well that’s a bit tougher to explain.Although fast food chains have made aneffort to offer healthier fare, there are stillmany options that would make a nutrition-ist cringe, especially the less expensive op-tions that are popular with college students.“Instead of going out seven days, if you

don’t eat out half of those days, you’regoing to save money, you’re going to in-crease your nutrition, and your going toreduce all the saturated fat, sodium ladenfoods [in your diet],” said Nancy Copper-man, director of Public Health Initiativesat North Shore LIJ Health System.So what are college students to do when

they are hungry? Copperman says thereare alternatives to fast food for studentswho need a meal that’s fast, easy, and af-fordable. Below are her suggestions.

1. A rotisserie chickenA fully cooked rotisserie chicken can

be purchased at many supermarkets, aswell as at delicatessens and otherstores. Some grocers have specials sothat a whole chicken may be purchasedfor around $5. In addition to a low out-lay of cash, there are likely to be left-overs, so one inexpensive purchase canprovide several meals. Copperman saysthat the leftover chicken could bemixed with refried beans to makechicken burritos, added to roasted pep-pers in a whole wheat tortilla, or usedas the main ingredient in a whole wheatpita sandwich.In addition to being affordable, a ro-

tisserie cooked chicken can be a muchhealthier choice when compared to otheroptions that college students typicallyconsume. Copperman suggests adding asweet potato or frozen vegetables, bothof which can be made quickly in a mi-crowave, to make a complete meal outof it.“It’s fast it quick and it’s actually nu-

tritious,” she says.

A rotisserie chicken can be purchased at many supermarkets. Since it’s alreadyprepared, it’s quick, relatively affordable and there will likely be leftovers foranother meal.

SUNY COLLEGE SUNY COLLEGE AT OLD WESTBURY: AT OLD WESTBURY: PREPARING STUDENTS TO GO FARTHER SUNY College at Old Westbury this fall welcomed one of the largest student bodies in its history to campus and continues its pace as a fast-growing college with a reputation for preparing its graduates to succeed. What makes Old Westbury such a popular choice among college-bound students?

“The core strength of our college is its teaching,” said College President Calvin O. Butts, III. “From its competitive Honors College to its unique first-year student civic engagement program, Old Westbury’s reputation for excellence is attracting students from across Long Island, throughout the state and around the world.”

High school students, college transfers, parents and the public who want to learn more are invited to attend Open House on Sunday, November 11, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Registration to attend Open House can be made online at www.oldwestbury.edu or by calling 516-876-3200.

In all, the College offers nearly 50 career-igniting undergraduate degree opportunities at the affordable price of SUNY tuition. From finance to psychology, communications to computer science, Old Westbury’s programs are designed to provide the skills students need to achieve

their career and personal goals. As a liberal arts college, Old Westbury also emphasizes the critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills vital in today’s fast-changing global society.

To support its students, Old Westbury this fall opened its new $64 million academic center, the latest improvement on a campus that, since 2002, has opened new residence halls, a new student union, new radio and television studios, new baseball and softball fields, and more.

Guiding students throughout their college careers is a faculty of men and women who are leaders in their fields. Of the College’s 154 full-time professors, some 80 percent hold the highest degree in their discipline. Four members of the faculty have been named Distinguished Teaching Professors and another four have been named Distinguished Service Professors, among the highest ranks recognized within SUNY.

“Our expectations are high once you arrive on our campus,” explains Dr. Butts. “As an Old Westbury student, you will be taught by a faculty that includes a Fulbright Scholar, a Guggenheim fellow and winners of research grants from almost every foundation you can imagine. These educators, writers, scientists and historians demand the best from our students — and they get it.”

The evidence of their success lies in the more than 20,000 graduates of Old Westbury who are working and leading in positions throughout Long Island, across the nation and around the world.

2. Beans with pasta or riceBeans have long been recognized as

a very inexpensive food option andCopperman says beans are nutritous aslegumes are high in protein. Addition-ally, beans are easy to prepare and arequite tasty. And since beans comecanned, college students, who are usu-ally lacking space in their dorm rooms,will find beans easy to store, even ifkept under a bed.“Open and put in a bowl and add

whole wheat pasta,” recommends Cop-perman. “That’s quick, cheap and ifyou make enough, it can last a coupleof meals.”She also suggests black bean or

lentil soup as a tasty option. To com-plete the meal, Copperman again sug-gests a serving of frozen vegetables.She recommends frozen over cannedas she says flash frozen vegetablesare tastier and have less sodium. Shealso says that generic frozen vegeta-bles are often manufactured by thesame manufacturers as the majorbrands, so thrifty college students canfind addit ional savings by goinggeneric.

3. HummusCopperman advises that hummus has

protein, She suggests putting it in a pitasandwich, and also loading up on let-tuce and tomato, for a filling and nutri-tious treat. One possible drawback ofhummus is that it needs to be refrigerat-ed. For those who find this to be toomuch trouble, Copperman says thattuna fish is similar to hummus in that itis high in protein. Just like hummus,Copperman says that it goes great in apita. Packing the pita with lettuce andtomatoes will add to the nutrition andmake it a filling meal. It can also beadded over pasta for an easy meal.

4. Ready Made Pizza CrustPizza is another frequent choice of

scholars. However, it can be expensiveand is high in fat. College students whomake too many calls for pizza may soonfind that their money is going to the piz-za delivery driver. To cut down on boththe cost and the fat, Copperman sug-gests that students make their own pizzausing a ready made crust. By doing so,the pizza can be made using part-skimmozzarella instead of whole-milkcheese, which is common on most take-

3out pizzas. In addition, toadd to the nutrition and tasteand not the fat, Coppermanrecommends toppings suchas mushrooms, roasted pep-pers, onions, broccoli, andolives.“It’s healthier and cheaper

because each topping in-creases the cost of the [deliv-ery] pizza,” she says of mak-ing a pizza at home or in adorm instead of ordering in.

5. Ground turkey or beefPreparing ground turkey or

beef at home, instead of or-dering it at a fast food restau-rant, is another option for stu-dents. By preparing the foodoneself, the cost goes down.In addition, it can be made ina healthier way. Coppermansuggests preparing groundbeef or turkey in a chili potmixed with beans.“It’s fast and nutritious,”

she says.To make it even healthier,

add more beans and cut backon the meat. She said this iswhat is done in Mediter-ranean diets, where meat is treated likea condiment.

6. Hearty SoupsNothing hits the spot on a cold night

like a warm, filling, bowl of soup. Andnot only is soup easy to make, chickenor meat broth based soups are usuallylow in fat and inexpensive. A group offriends can make a large pot of soup to-gether and have an affordable, filling,meal that’s easy to prepare.

7. If you must indulge…Most college students will dine in a

fast food restaurant during their academ-ic careers. If doing so, Copperman rec-ommends that wise choices be made.Therefore she recommends grilled chick-en sandwiches or burgers that are nolarger than one quarter of a pound. Tomake these choices better nutritionally,Copperman suggests adding lettuce

tomatoes, and onions and avoidingcheese, mayonnaise, sauces and bacon.She points out the just salad dressing canadd 200 calories to a meal. And by or-dering a custom made sandwich, it willbe made fresh and therefore taste better.Another suggestion to avoid the diet

pitfalls of a fast food restaurant is to or-der a children’s meal. These meals areusually less expensive, and Coppermanadds such a choice allows for portioncontrol. For those who want a bit morefood, she suggests adding a side salad.For those who order a regular value

meal, Copperman says to be sure todownsize the fries, or order a side saladinstead. She also suggests a small chili, aside salad with a light dressing but with-out croutons, and a baked potato withlow fat sour cream, all of which can beorder at Wendy’s. Combining these threeitems results in an expensive, low fatmeal that is reasonable in calories.

A chicken or beef based broth soup, or a vegetable soup, can be a quick,healthy and inexpensive option.

Not So Fast With Fast Food

Using a ready-made pizza crust instead of get-ting pizza delivered will save college studentsmoney. By making it with part-skim mozzarellaand adding toppings such as olives and mush-rooms, it will be healthier as well.

Even The Roslyn News reported on June 29th, 1878: “The new Catholic Church in this village was dedicated on Sunday last ... The Catholic population of Roslyn is not large and their means are limited, but they are generous to a fault and have been untiring in their labors for the achievement of the church.”

“The new edifi ce is built of brick and stone ...There is yet much work to be done, both inside and out, and when completed the church will be handsome as a one as there is on the Island.”

New SATSecurityMeasuresIn Place

S tudents who took the SAT this fall were metwith stricter guidelines than had previously beenin place. The new security measures were imple-

mented in response to an SAT cheating scandal thatwas uncovered in Nassau County.“…New security measures will be in place to en-

sure that honest kids don’t take a back seat tocheaters,” said Nassau County District AttorneyKathleen Rice. “Last year, my office uncovered awidespread SAT and ACT cheating scandal in Nas-sau County that put a national spotlight on gapingholes in standardized test security. We worked withthe College Board and ACT Inc. to bring aboutcomprehensive test security reform to level theplaying field, at no additional cost to students. Testadministrators have implemented tough, high-techsecurity measures that I am confident will almosteliminate the kind of cheating we found to be soeasy last year. More can be done to ensure thatthose who still try to cheat are held accountable, butI am grateful for the work the testing companies

have done to ensure that cheating doesn’t pay.”Among the new security initiatives are:• Students are required to submit or upload a photo-

graph during the registration process. That photo willbe printed on their test admission ticket, checked

against the photo ID they provide at the test center,and the photo will accompany students’ scores as theyare reported to high schools.• Registrants must include their date of birth and

gender, which will be printed on the test site roster.• Test takers can no longer change their test venue

on the day of the exam and same-day test registrationhas been eliminated.• Test takers will be subjected to ID checks through-

out the exam, including upon their entry into the testcenter and the individual test room, upon re-entry tothe test room after breaks, and upon collection of theiranswer sheet.• High schools will receive the test results of all stu-

dents enrolled at that school, with each student’s cor-responding photo attached to their score. This back-end check provides another opportunity for cheaters tobe identified by local school officials who know thembest.• Students will be required to acknowledge the pos-

sibility of a criminal referral for those who engage incriminal impersonation.• Proctors will receive additional training to help

them identify cheaters and high school and college of-ficials will receive more information about reportingsuspected cheating to testing companies.The security upgrades are the result of an investiga-

tion by DA Rice’s office that exposed widespreadcheating on the SAT and ACT in Nassau County in-volving test-taker impersonation that investigatorsfound to be commonplace nationally. Five formerhigh school students were arrested for accepting pay-ments to impersonate current students and take the testfor them and 15 students who paid to have their teststaken were also charged.Additional details regarding the security measures

for the SAT can be found at www.collegeboard.org,and ACT security details are available online atwww.actstudent.org.

M A K I N G M U S I C O N L O N G I S L A N DWRIGHT MUSICJONATHAN WATKINSWhat if the guy who sold your musical instrument and accessories was a professional musician?

That’s the question Jonathan Wright Watkins asked himself before he entered the music store

business. As a bassoonist with 30 years of experience under his belt, Jonathan was frustrated by trying to work with the average salesperson every time he needed something for his instrument. He wanted to speak with someone who understood the way his instrument worked - and what could make it sound better and play more easily. As in the music itself, Jonathan felt there was nuance in how the instrument could be adjusted to meet the individual player’s style and skill level. The easy answer that most music stores gave - buy a new instrument - did not make sense to him in each case. In 2003 he decided to take his dream - and every musician’s - to the next level by purchasing an established family-run music store in Port Washington, New York.

From this base - now known as Wright Music - Jonathan continues his work as an educator who happens to sell musical instruments, accessories and related services. He and his staff function as consultants for their clients, helping to identify the specifi c need, attendant problems and possible solutions before a purchase is ever proposed. They also function informally as consultants for manufacturers, helping them understand and meet the real needs of the marketplace. This gilt-edged approach to an industry that is often known for being a bit tinny has earned Jonathan a loyal following among school band and orchestra directors, parents of young musicians and a panoply of professionals.

ISCHOOL OFMUSIC & ARTKEN BENSHISHI was nine years old when my parents picked me up from basketball practice one evening and in the back seat of our car was a snare drum. I had been begging for drum lessons

for over a year and my parents fi nally bought me a drum.

I never played basketball again.

My college and university instructors were analytical and practical but were less than inspirational. Then I met a teacher at a well-respected university who, by university standards, was a complete misfi t. He had only a high school diploma, hair that stood on end and technique that was questionable at best. But, and this is a big, round, full-bodied “but” - he could make you move just by tapping his foot. This was Brannen, my favorite and most inspiring teacher. He encouraged me to let go of everything I was ever taught and just play from myheart. He taught what I wanted instead of what he thought Ineeded. It was a perfect student-teacher match.

Great teachers are like great friends in the sense that one has very few of either in a lifetime. Inspiration through teaching is something that can be passed on only when a teacher has beentruly inspired. That’s what makes iSchool different - inspira-tion drives our passion.

He taughtwhat I wantedinstead of what

he thought Ineeded.

By Felice R. Kobrick, LCSW

Paying for college is probably one of the most stressful aspects of the en-tire college admissions process. The Delta Project, an independent research organization that tracks trends in college spending, noted that over the last ten years the rate of tuition increas-es has outstripped the rates of infl ation, per capita personal income, and most major commodities. The National Cen-ter for Education Statistics reports that the average tuition at a 4-year, private college is $35,000 with more than 123 colleges and universities charging in excess of $50,000 per year! How are students and parents supposed to afford that???

Come meet the experts--Felice Kobrick, College Consultant, and Rhonda Levy, Financial Planner, to learn fi nancial strat-egies that you can apply immediately to ensure that you are not only saving money, but saving it in the right invest-ment vehicle for your children’s educa-tions. This seminar will provide informa-tion to parents of children of all ages.

T he Division of Adult and Non-Traditional Programs at LIUPost has launched a new bache-

lor’s degree completion program foradult learners who have at least twoyears of college credits.The Bachelor’s Degree Completion

Program for Adults – which offers thebachelor of science in interdisciplinarystudies with professional tracks in busi-ness or health care administration – pro-vides a combination of online and in-classroom study in short, eight- and six-week semesters.Nationwide, the demand for college-

educated workers is expected to growby 16 percent, while the demand fornon-degreed workers will remain stag-nant, according to the U.S. Bureau ofLabor Statistics.Designed for adult learners who are

returning to college after a long ab-sence, the 64-credit program can becompleted in two years or less. Stu-dents take classes online and on theuniversity’s suburban campus inBrookville. Tuition scholarships, fi-nancial aid and payment plans areavailable for eligible students.“More than 1 million Long Islanders

have an associate’s degree or some col-lege credit but not a bachelor’s degree,”said Dr. Lisa Braverman, associateprovost for adult programs and outreach.

“Our goal is to help these students seam-lessly transition back to college.”The program is designed for adults

over the age of 25 who have the equiva-lent of two years of successful collegestudy and some prior work experience.The curriculum for the Bachelor’s De-gree Completion Program for Adults in-cludes a six-course (18 credits) profes-sional track in either business or healthcare administration and 14 liberal artscourses (42 credits) that provide vitalskills required for professionals to suc-ceed in today’s workplace such as criti-cal reasoning, global perspectives, ethics,sustainability, writing and data analysis.A liberal arts track is also available.Applications are being accepted for

the first cohort of students to begin stud-ies on March 4, 2013. Students may beable to reduce the length of the programthrough LIU Post’s “Credit for LearningOutside the Classroom” program, whichawards undergraduate credit for work,military and life experiences.Interested students can learn more

A transformational $10 million anonymous dona-tion plus matching funds of equal value fromthe Simons Foundation has enabled Stony Brook

University to establish an Institute for Advanced Com-putational Science. The core mission of the institute is toadvance the science of computing and its applications tosolving complex problems in the physical sciences, thelife sciences, medicine, sociology, industry and finance.In this endeavor, the Institute will cooperate closely withthe new ComputationalScience Center atBrookhaven NationalLaboratory, which spe-cializes in large-scaledata analysis.Professor Robert

Harrison, a distin-guished expert in high-performance comput-ing, has been named as founding director of the insti-tute. Through a joint appointment with BrookhavenNational Laboratory, Professor Harrison has also beennamed director of the Computational Science Center atBrookhaven National Laboratory. Dr. Harrison comesto Stony Brook from the University of Tennessee andOak Ridge National Laboratory, where he was directorof the Joint Institute of Computational Science, profes-sor of chemistry and corporate fellow. He has a prolificcareer in high-performance computing with more than100 publications on the subject, as well as extensiveservice on national advisory committees.“This magnanimous gift marks the successful culmi-

nation of our quest to become a national player in therace to harvest the technology of high-performance com-puting for scientific research,” said Stony Brook Univer-sity President Samuel L. Stanley Jr. “We are especiallypleased that this exciting endeavor further partners StonyBrook and Brookhaven National Laboratory.”According to Professor Harrison, “Computation now

pervades nearly all aspects not just of scientific discov-ery but increasingly our entire lives. Numerically- and

data-intensive compu-tation, once dominatedby the physical sci-ences and engineering,are now essential tofields as diverse as fi-nance or medical imag-ing, and are transform-ing science and society,for instance, by under-

standing our proteome or predicting global trends. Theselarge simulations and computations require expertisethat span multiple disciplines, and are increasingly socomplex as to challenge human capabilities and budgets.The interdisciplinary IACS will make fundamental ad-vances in how we compute to harness the full power ofcomputers of all sizes, and to greatly broaden the impactof computation by making it more accessible to new re-searchers, disciplines, and industries.”These ultrafast computers involve new chip designs

and chip arrangements that are evolving on a breathtak-ing time scale. The mathematical architectures, or algo-rithms, that can make efficient use of this new hardware,

have far outgrown the concepts that power even advanceddesktop computers, which are the working tool of mostacademic scientists. In the not so distant future, as thedesktop computer incorporates the modern chip designs,it will use the language of the top-end architectures.The increasing availability and use of high-perform-

ance computers will change the way science will getits answers, industry will develop its products, and so-ciety will analyze its needs. Many states, includingNew York, are similarly investing in high-performancecomputing in order to provide its universities and itsindustrial base with the latest technological advantagesin this rapidly evolving global competition.
