Housed on the first floor, the Duey Biomedical Engineering Center will complement the nearby Duey Immersive Learning Center where students training for careers in nursing and other healthcare related fields will have the unique opportunity to master critical response training in a real-world hospital setting. The dynamic environment will feature technologically-advanced simulated patients or human-like robots that, with the touch of the instructor’s computer controls, experience cardiac arrest and a variety of other lifelike symptoms. Students studying athletic training, psychology, social work, speech language pathology and other disciplines will also be able to take advantage of simulated settings. Rooms will be designed to mimic patient exam rooms and home-care environments to allow students to become fully prepared to provide excellent care in a variety of professional surroundings. A modern nutrition lab will ensure that wellness and disease prevention are incorporated.
The Commons WCU’s enrollment growth created the need for improved and larger dining services, as well as expanded meeting space. The Commons wing will be a welcoming and modern environment for students to connect, eat and work. In addition to the main dining hall, the Commons wing will include a ballroom, auditorium and meeting rooms—facilities that are currently severely limited on campus. These additional spaces will allow faculty, students and staff to host conferences, collaborative community events and speaker presentations.

COLUMN
I
Congratulations, And Welcome To A New Semester
can’t believe it—another semester is about to begin. For many of you, it marks a milestone: continued studies and a new path for the future you choose. I trust it will be the right one. This column will be devoted to some inspirational thoughts, which I have come across during my 40 years of being a college professor. I hope they inspire you to greater success. There are two mistakes a person can make along the path of life: Not going all the way and not starting. It is important to never be discouraged because you will find that it is often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. While it may seem daunting at times, make the best use of what is in your power and take the rest as it happens, because successful people are those who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her. You may also want to ask yourself “What is your legacy?” or “What
Jack K. Mandel
will you do to leave the world a better place?” and “What gifts and talents have you been blessed with?” Once you have discovered your answers, be sure to use them to your fullest potential. Always remember that everything you’ve been through in your young lives has been preparation for where you are at this moment in time and, more importantly, where you can be tomorrow. Forget all the reasons why it won’t work, and believe the one reason why it will, because to create more positive results in your life, you must replace
‘if only’ with ‘next time.” This world is your world and it is up to you to shape it or someone else will. The ones who say “you can’t” and “you won’t” are probably the ones who are scared you will. Be humble and be thankful for what you have—you’ll end up having more. Never focus on what you don’t have because you will never, ever have enough. Personally, I am still learning that being kind and caring to those around you is more important than being right and growth is a never-ending process, so be specific in your goals because the best goals to set are those that can be measured. Talk to fellow students and especially your professors to get new ideas and options for your future. As for those goals, set more than one goal at a time—the rationale here is that if you are delayed in a particular area, you can still move ahead in another. It gives you a
sense of accomplishment when you reach at least one of your objectives. For example, let’s say you wish to become active in at least three college organizations. Even if you only join one of them and attend regular meetings, you have reached one-third of your goal. Finally, restate your goals as often as possible. Say them mentally, write them again and repeat them to others. The more you sense their importance to yourself and your personal success, the more easily your goals will be met. Professor Jack K. Mandel has taught marketing and public relations since 1978 at Nassau Community College. He is the recipient of both the prestigious Outstanding Teacher Award conferred by the New York State Association of two-year colleges and the NCC Dean of Instruction’s Faculty Distinguished Achievement Award.
The Calm Schools Initiative
Giving free mindfulness training tools to every teacher in the world
I
n today’s rapidly changing world, children face unique social and emotional challenges. Kids are experiencing greater pressures earlier in life, and feel more stress and anxiety than ever before. What if their school day began with a few moments of quiet and stillness? Numerous studies have shown the many benefits of teaching mindfulness to children. Through mindfulness education, kids can develop a lifelong capacity for greater self-awareness, concentration, patience and resilience. Meanwhile, educators face pressures of their own. Many teachers understand the benefits of mindfulness, but they face time and budget constraints, making it challenging to bring mindfulness education to the classroom. Enter, The Calm Schools Initiative, which offers every teacher in the world free access to Calm, the mindfulness app that hundreds of thousands of people all over the world use everyday. The goal is to empower teachers with mindfulness tools and resources they
can use to help kids learn this new skill. Under this initiative, any teacher with a K-12 classroom, anywhere in the world, can get free access to Calm’s paid subscription service (available on Android, iOS and the web). Teachers will have unlimited access to our growing library of guided meditations and mindfulness exercises, including Calm Kids, our programs tailored for age groups from pre-K through high school. Over the coming year, we will be steadily adding to the Calm Kids library, equipping teachers with an ever-expanding supply of content crafted for the unique needs of their students. The goal is to enroll 100,000 classrooms this year, improving the lives of more than one million children. If you’re a teacher, simply fill out the simple form by visiting www.calm.com/schools, and you’ll be approved for The Calm Schools Initiative within a few days. Once you’re
approved, you’ll receive some resources to help you get started, including share tips, suggestions and the best practices to introduce mindfulness to your classroom and get your students excited about meditation. —Anton Media Group

The New York Tech Student Doer, Maker, Innovator
New York Institute of Technology’s degree programs are consistently recognized for incredible value and outcomes. It is among the Best Regional Universities (North) ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Perhaps most impactful for families, it is No. 7 among private, not-for-profit institutions for the highest economic mobility rates for student income earnings after graduation, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. “New York Tech’s ‘doer/maker’ culture fosters invention and innovation, collaboration and entrepreneurship as necessary elements of a modern college education,” notes President Henry C. Foley, Ph.D. “Our students learn how to identify and solve challenges, as well as create opportunities that benefit humanity.” “It was always my dream to become a hacker,” says cybersecurity student Hiba Fatima. But rather than exploit information, she wants to “serve her nation and protect it.” To help realize that dream, the motivated student

But when he joined the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, he was the one who needed support. “I got through medical school because of my friends and my family. I had everything I needed to be successful,” he says. Students can also take advantage of generous financial aid packages. Moises Lopez, an engineering scholarship student, has been “paying it forward” as a tutor for after-school community service programs in Harlem. “I was able to show my mentees how important electricity and its core concepts are in everyday life,” he said. “[My scholarship] guarantees many more experiences like these.” More than 100,000 New York Tech alumni can be found around the world designing award-winning skyscrapers and apps, and leading startups and large corporations.

One of the many strengths of Molloy is its proximity to New York City. Based in Rockville Centre just minutes from Manhattan, Molloy takes advantage of the metro region to provide its students with the highest quality internships and clinical placements. What’s New
Molloy, founded in 1955 by the Sisters of Saint Dominic in Amityville and home to approximately 4,900 undergraduate and graduate students, continues to expand its flexible learning options for many of its programs, so that students can take night, weekend, hybrid or online classes. Some of Molloy’s newer offerings include an online MBA, as well as a new degree completion program that will enable returning students to easily complete their undergraduate degree. A new residence hall, the College’s third, is scheduled to open this August.

College-bound students and their parents are always looking for an academic environment that offers the best fit for the student and the best value for their tuition dollars. Last year Molloy was ranked #18 “value added” college in the U.S. by The Wall Street Journal, arguably the nation’s premier financial publication. Additionally, in December, Newsday produced an enrollment overview of the many private colleges in our region. While most of our competitors struggled in the 2012-2017 period, Molloy “saw the largest increase, rising by more than 11%.” Molloy has also earned other honors, including being ranked the #10 best value among Catholic colleges nationwide by College Values Online.
The Wall Street Journal named Molloy College one of the “top added-value colleges” in the nation.

Back to School Anxiety BY GRAZIELLA SIMONETTI
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
T
ransitioning from summer vacation to the school year can provoke anxiety for children. The shift from the relaxed and the less structured days of summer to the higher pressured school days can be a difficult leap. Furthermore, the separation from parents may cause worrying. For most students, the typical beginning of year anxiety will fade as they become more comfortable and master the routine. Here are some tips to get back into the swing of things.
Self-reflect
It can be scary for parents to place their child’s safety in someone else’s hands. If you are feeling very stressed about the separation or the pressures that come from a full calendar and heavy loads of homework, be sure you are not passing that stress on to your child. Create goals around finding balance and not taking on more commitments than can be managed. Children take cues from the adults, so managing stress levels is important in helping
PARENTING MATTERS Graziella SImonetti children to be calm.
Listen up
Parents often attempt to reassure children by saying “there is nothing to worry about.” Instead, consider listening to their concerns and help them brainstorm ways of managing their feelings and the challenging situations they confront. Validate their emotions and express your confidence in their ability to manage issues that may arise.
Practice
Do test runs to schools and visit classrooms. Walk your child’s schedule if you have access to it. Before school starts, practice routines such as waking up to an alarm and choosing an outfit the night before. Getting your children engaged in the preparation
process can help them feel more in control. Practice goodbye routines. Role play what to do in difficult situations and how to calm down when feeling worried. For young children, consider using dolls to work out how to handle overwhelming feelings. It can feel safer to act out the feelings of others rather than confront their own anxiety and fears.
School support
If you are very worried about your child’s ability to separate, reach out for help from a teacher, a school social worker, the school psychologist or an aide. Set up a plan, such as pairing your child with a buddy or assigning your child a job or task to keep her mind and body busy and engaged.
Be positive
Talk about the fun activities in which your child will be involved. Remind him of his previous positive school experiences. Recall other times of doubt and nervousness when all turned out fine.
Play dates
Research demonstrates that
having a familiar peer present during transitions can help with adjustment. Set up activities with schoolmates during the summer. Back to school anxiety can be normal. However, if the back to school worry is causing distress in your child’s day to day life, or your child does not adapt after a month’s time, it may be wise to seek counsel. Other red flags include not enjoying activities that once were considered fun, experiencing a heightened number of headaches or stomach aches, and excessive worry that something bad will happen to one’s parents. If you notice any of these red flags, or if the worries interfere with the ability to function in school, consider contacting a professional. Graziella Simonetti is a parent educator for EAC Network’s Long Island Parenting Institute and works as an early childhood social worker for the New York City Department of Education. She holds an advanced certificate in parent education from Adelphi University and is a NYSPEP credentialed parenting educator.
Payment Plan
More families have a better idea on how to finance college College may be getting more expensive, but new research suggests that more families are preparing to meet those costs one way or another. Eighty percent of families say they are confident in how they paid for college last year, and nearly half have a plan to pay for all years of college, according to “How America Pays for College 2019,” a recent study from Sallie Mae and Ipsos, an independent global market research company. All this preparation could be attributed to the fact that the overwhelming majority of families recognize the value of higher education, with 90 percent of families agreeing college is an investment. “The individual and socioeconomic benefits of a college education are clear, so it’s particularly gratifying to see that families continue to view college as a worthwhile investment,” said Raymond J. Quinlan, chairman and CEO, Sallie Mae. On average, families report spending $26,226 on college in academic year
2018-19, with a sizable portion of costs—43 percent—covered out-ofpocket through income and savings. Scholarships, grants, and gifts—used by 82 percent of families—covered 33 percent of costs, and that “free money” can be especially important, both logistically and psychologically, opening doors to opportunities that would be otherwise unavailable. The study also found that while borrowing covered 24 percent of overall college costs, 57 percent of the families who borrowed to pay for college say they had always planned to do so as part of their paying-for-college strategy. What’s more, many families are getting a head start on paying their loans back, with 41 percent making payments on student loans while the student is in school. Seventy-seven percent of families completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2018-19 academic year. Completing the FAFSA is the first step in receiving a financial aid award letter from
schools. Of those who filed for the 2019-20 academic year, 25 percent did so in October, the first month the application is available. On the other hand, the majority of families waited until January or later to file, potentially missing out on free money for college. For tools and educational resources that promote college planning, visit salliemae.com/ college-planning. “While more families are planning for
college costs, we’d like to see that number continue to grow because we know those with a plan are better prepared to meet the costs, and typically have a better understanding of the financial aid process,” said Quinlan. —StatePoint Media Inc.

German-American School An American Success Story
The web page for German-American School NY tells us that: “German is for everyone—regardless of background,” which was not always the case. When the school was founded 1851 in New York by refugees fleeing political persecution that followed the revolution of 1848, their aim was to teach German to the children of German refugees and immigrants. The founding fathers, so to speak, were members of the New York Turners and their aim was to maintain a link to the “motherland.” The school taught reading, writing, singing, grammar, essay writing, and German history. Between 1859-1898 the school had as many as 600 children, taught in class rooms on Orchard Street.

immigrants. In 1911 German-American School (aka Deutsch-Amerikanischer Schulverein), was granted recognition by the New York State Board of Regents and remains, to this day, a school that offers a graduation “Regents” diploma after completion of the 10th grade.
In 1985 the school changed its curriculum and pedagogy to appeal to anyone who thinks that knowing a foreign language will enhance their child’s growth and future. Our pupils finish with a Regents (or similar exam) diploma. Many also take our Advanced Placement classes. German-American School NY now has 210 children enrolled in its three locations: Manhattan, Garden City and Franklin Square. That is a far cry from the 600 children it German-American School Association was founded boasted in the 19th century—but over the decades officially in 1892. The first president was piano manufacturer William Steinway.

NYUSPS High School Academy Fall Weekend Workshops
Give Your Child a Distinct Advantage in the College Admissions Process The college admissions process is more competitive than ever before. In addition to good grades and excellent scores on the SAT and/or ACT, institutions of higher learning are increasingly focusing on the extracurricular activities and professional interests of the high school students they are considering for admission. High school students themselves are also seeking to explore career options that might be of interest, well in advance of the time that they graduate, to avoid choosing a college major that might not be the right fit and to gain experience that could ultimately lead to a highly successful professional path. While there are programs offered through local high
schools and universities, the appeal of pursuing pre-college opportunities at an institution such as the NYU School of Professional Studies (NYUSPS) is growing, because of the distinct nature of the programs offered and the immersive, industry-based NYC experience students enjoy. High School Academy Weekend Workshops provide an opportunity to “try on” a career. With groups of peers from local high schools across the city and in the suburbs, students acquire an insider’s view of a professional path in which they may be interested.

County Executive Curran Announces Book Club For Young Readers
N
assau County Executive Laura Curran is excited to announce the launch of her book club for young readers, “Laura’s Book Club.” The book club will include monthly book suggestions for young adults and children. Curran will announce her Book Pick of the Month on her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. “My mission is for Laura’s Book Club to encourage young people to disconnect from technology, step away from the screens and enjoy a book,” said Curran. “I also hope this program encourages residents to visit their public libraries and take advantage of the free services they offer beyond book rentals.” Curran is also participating in the 2019 Nassau County Library Tour. The program encourages residents to visit as many of the 57 library branches in Nassau County as possible in the months of July and August. Each participant of the library tool receives a map to track their progress and can earn prizes along the way. Public libraries offer free membership to residents which comes with services such as book and video rentals, workshops and seminars, access to online research databases and even discounted admission tickets to museums and attractions across New York.

SUNY Old Westbury Department Earns Accreditation
T
he State University of New York at Old Westbury Public Health department has earned accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for its Bachelor of Science in Health and Society. It becomes the 14th stand-alone baccalaureate program in the country to hold this accreditation. “CEPH accreditation is an outstanding affirmation of this program’s quality and places it among the finest undergraduate programs of its kind in the nation,” said Calvin O. Butts III, president of SUNY Old Westbury. “Having earned this recognition reflects the strength of our faculty members and the tremendous effort they put forth to provide quality education while preparing students for success in fields related to public health.“
The accreditation procedures required the department and the college to undertake a rigorous self-evaluation—a process which engages stakeholders from across the college and its constituencies, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, collaborators and community partners. SUNY Old Westbury began the accreditation process in 2015 and engaged in a three-year, comprehensive self-study. The college then submitted
the self-study document and in December 2018 hosted a team of external peer reviewers to validate the self-study during an extensive, two-day on-site visit. The approval of Old Westbury’s accreditation was rendered in June. “Our program is focused on helping students to understand the underlying social, political and behavioral forces that shape health status,” said Martha Livingston, chair of the Public Health
department. “Our students also learn how to assess critically factors that contribute to the health of populations, integrating real-world experience with coursework and learning how to improve the public’s health at the policy and the community level.” Approximately 230 students were enrolled in the 2018-19 academic year in the program, which prepares students for entry into a broad range of professions in public health and for graduate study in public health. Graduates have also embarked on successful careers in hospitals and local non-profit health agencies, and many go on to obtain training in health professions.

Strategies For Parents Of Children With Special Needs BY ALISON GILBERT
needs means that it’s even more important to enlist others for support. Stay open to the notion that other families can still relate to you as a fellow parent even if they don’t have the exact same concerns. Find a time to reminisce with parents who are similarly overwhelmed. Work together to help each other find the humor in everyday parenting “catastrophes.” Family members can also be especially helpful when you need an extra pair of hands and a break from day-today stress.

aising children can be difficult in some very unexpected ways. Parenting a child with special needs can create some unique and especially daunting challenges. Even when parents identify difficult behaviors and enlist targeted interventions, dealing effectively with day-to-day parenting stress is not a given. Having a variety of coping strategies on hand can be helpful.
Treat anxiety and depression
Stay positive
Remind yourself of all the things you are doing to take care of yourself and/or your family. Before bedtime, try making a list of all the parenting successes you had during the day—even if it was just that you managed to get the kids off to school that day. Try to let go of feelings of guilt about things that haven’t been accomplished or situations that didn’t go your way. Guilt adds an extra layer of emotional stress above and beyond any negative emotion you may already be experiencing. Even the smallest victories can help you get through.
Use humor
The frustrations of everyday parenting can certainly take a toll and make people feel bogged down. Children with challenging behaviors can make the task of parenting seem especially overwhelming. When the day is done, take time to reflect on events that you can laugh about. We can find humor in even the most frustrating behaviors—especially in retrospect. Our children can actually help us find a lighthearted side to situations. For example, in hindsight you might see some humor in the fact that your child decided to test the concept of floating by
throwing coins in the toilet when initially you saw a need to call the plumber.
Problem solve
Keeping a “problem-solving notebook” can be helpful. When you hit a bump in the road, write down the specific problem. Make a list of questions that you need to have answered. Write down information and sources of help you can call on to answer each question. If you still feel stuck, put the problem “on the shelf” for a while and return to it when you feel you may have a new perspective on it. Sometimes stepping away for a few minutes gives you better clarification later on.
Use social supports
Reaching out to family and especially to friends can be hard when you have a child with special needs. Parents may begin to feel isolated and become convinced that other families cannot relate to their struggles and that they themselves cannot relate to other families. In fact, having a child with special
Don’t be afraid to access mental health professionals. Parenting is challenging and there are therapists and physicians who can help when stress becomes significantly difficult to manage. When increased anxiety and changes in mood begin to interfere with your ability to problem solve and to take care of yourself and your family it may be a good time to seek counseling and/or a physician’s attention. Many mental health professionals can be accessed by going to the website of your health insurance provider and searching for specialists including licensed mental health counselors, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists. The American Psychological Association (www.apa.org) and the American Psychiatric Association (psychiatry.org) are also great resources. The guidebook to perfect parenting for your child with special needs certainly does not exist. However using coping strategies that you know already work for you and learning new coping techniques can help significantly. Alison Gilbert, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist. She is currently a clinical assistant professor at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine with a certificate in autism spectrum disorders from U.C. Davis.
How To Transfer Your Military Skills To The Corporate World
A
military background brings with it an ability to collaborate, problem-solve and thrive under pressure, making veterans well-positioned to take on leadership roles in the corporate world. Having worked in the banking industry for more than 25 years and in his 30th year with the U.S. Army, Jerry Quinn is an example of someone who has maximized his military leadership skills in the corporate world. As senior vice president, and head of Enterprise Military Talent External Recruiting at Wells Fargo, Quinn also serves as chairman of the Association of Military Banks of America.
Know yourself
“Knowing yourself is a key leadership principle,” said Quinn. “By understanding what your values, capabilities, strengths and weaknesses are, you can step into a leadership
role that will allow you and your team to thrive.”
Know your organization
Understand the ins and outs of the organization you work for, including its vision, mission and objectives, as well as the company’s current capabilities and potential for growth.
Set an example
“Leaders set the example by which others follow, so be sure to treat your team and customers with respect
and gratitude, and always lead from the front,” said Quinn. “Being proud of what you do can be infectious.”
Build a team committed to excellence Good leaders attract good talent and assist others in achieving their success. When benchmarks are met, give the team the credit—you aren’t a leader without them.
Be valued
Consider specifically seeking out positions with employers who value the
leadership, discipline and service record of military veterans, veterans with disabilities, National Guard members and Reservists, and then take advantage of any resources offered by the company. The existence of a military affairs program, such as the one established by Wells Fargo in 2012, is a good sign that a given employer is committed to hiring and retaining veteran team members. By honing in on the skills acquired during military service and seeking out tailored professional growth opportunities, those in the veteran community can maximize their leadership potential and thrive in the corporate world.

Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers® Island Drafting and Technical Institute (IDTI) was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the engineering, architectural, CADD (Computer Aided Drafting/ Design) and computer and electronics fields. The Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and is authorized to confer two-year associate degrees by the New York State Board of Regents. The Institute’s aim is to graduate students who are well trained and technically qualified so that they may enter their chosen field or continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has over 50 years of leadership and experience in preparing Long Islanders for careers. By staying abreast of the latest developments in the industry, the Institute continues to provide the personal attention students need to succeed. IDTI began life as the brainchild of Joseph P. Di Liberto, a senior design engineer at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale. Working at Republic by day and teaching by night, he started the school, then known as Aircraft Trade School, with just eight students. “Mr. D,” as he was known, handled the admissions, administration, and teaching all himself, with help from his wife, Gloria. After several years, Di Liberto moved the school from its original home in Amityville, N.Y.,
to the location it has called home ever since — 128 Broadway in the Village of Amityville. In June 1959, the school incorporated and its name was changed to Island Drafting School. In March 1973, the name of the school was changed to its current form — Island Drafting and Technical Institute. IDTI was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited by NATTS. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies degree. Under this authorization, the Institute is approved to offer degree programs in computer aided drafting and design/mechanical and computer aided drafting and design/ architectural. In December 1997, the Institute was approved to offer degree programs in electronic and computer service technology.
president James G. Di Liberto has been a fixture at the Amityville campus since the 1970s. And, John G. Di Liberto, who joined the school in 2000, got his start at IDTI handing out leaflets back in the 1960s. In June of this year, Forbes magazine ranked IDTI number 12 on their list of the Top 30 Trade Schools in America. Despite the technological changes of the past half-century, particularly on Long Island, and as drafting tables give way to computers, and drafters move from drawing airplanes to designing buildings, IDTI has continued to provide educational and employment opportunities for its graduates through concentrated, highly structured programs of study that prepare students for careers. Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers.®
IDTI also offers to industry, as well as to individual job holders, skills training to improve on-the-job capabilities. Programs can be customdesigned for particular companies, in addition to the extensive program offerings regularly available. Though Joseph Di Liberto passed away in 2002, IDTI’s mission has been carried on by the next generation: his two sons. Current school 206625 B
