Ashton Barrett of Liberty, pictured here at SUNY Sullivan before the coronavirus shut down his campus, now works does his coursework from home as do students all over New York State.

playing on SUNY Sullivan's JV basketball team, Barrett makes it abundantly clear: this is a winning college.

“The students are easy to relate to,” Barrett said. “Teachers go out of their way to make kids work to the best of their ability. They want to see you do great. And the environment is safe, healthy and clean.”

Barrett and all other SUNY students are now working from home while the scourge of coronavirus continues. But the college persists in its own mission, its gardens providing a quiet backdrop in a time of turmoil.

“SUNY staff and members of Hope Farm have seeded lettuce, bok choy, peas, onions, radishes, spinach, arugula, beets and carrots in the high tunnel (greenhouse) and are watching them grow,” enthused the college’s Director of Sustainability, Larry Reeger.

The organic farm run at SUNY Sullivan by the New Hope Community for intellectually and developmentally disabled people, is bursting with life “regardless of COVID’s closing of the campus to the public,” said Reeger.

“And garlic is sprouting in the Community Garden that’s being maintained by the college,” added Reeger, who teaches in the environmentallydriven Green Building and Renewable Energy program.

protocols as they prepare for the upcoming growing season, he noted.

The two-year-old Hope Farm initiative has fostered healthy relationships between college students and New Hope residents, which will surely come to life again in the future.

“While they’re picking beans and talking, a student from the college and a wheelchair-bound person from Hope connect every step of the way,” Reeger said.

COVID SPURS CONNECTIONS The campus that boasts a working windmill and a solar “farm” along with a geothermal system that heats and cools campus buildings is also serving first responders in the COVID crisis.

Paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers and firefighters are benefiting from a daycare space for their children as they work on the front

lines to save lives.

Further, the college has provided medical equipment from its Nursing and Respiratory Care programs to help patients and to protect staff as they work to save lives. It has also partnered with Sullivan 180 so that county residents can access healing classes in mindfulness, nutrition and fitness through websites like Headspace, which is volunteering its meditation and mindfulness content free to New Yorkers.

“We are also continuing to work with regional partners and the county to leverage grants and develop more ‘green’ jobs courses and certifications,” Reeger said. New programs in healthcare and in business and entrepreneurship are also on the drawing board.

“We will continue connecting students to place and community,” said Reeger. “We’re a community college, giving them skills and awareness.

That's what we do.”

SUNY Sullivan becomes smoke-free

S

tarting on May 1, Sullivan County Community College will enact a tobacco and vape free policy across campus.

According to a survey done in 2018 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHS), vaping and electronic cigarette use among high school seniors is on the rise.

In 2017, the number of seniors that vaped was 28 percent; in 2018, that figure increased to 37 percent.

Most of those high school students became college students. Now SUNY Sullivan wants them to break the habit.

According to the policy, “Sullivan County Community College is a tobacco and vape free institution committed to providing its students, employees, and visitors with a safe

and healthy environment.”

The policy states there will be no consumption of tobacco, tobacco products, or marijuana in any college property or any college facility.

According to NIH, vaping and cigarettes can pose serious health risks.

Nicotine, which is in most vape products, can lead to addiction and can slow brain development in teens.

Moreover, the vapor from vape pens can also contain toxins that can cause cancer and other harmful lung diseases.

At the moment, more than 2,342 higher education institutions in the United States have gone smoke or tobacco free.

Recently, SUNY Sullivan was one of the 48 colleges and universities that was awarded a grant from the Truth Initiative—an anti-smoking, nonprofit public health organization—to adopt a 100 percent tobacco and SUNY Sullivan, starting May 1, will be a vape and smoke-free campus.

irms today are placing a high priority on safeguarding data and computer systems from malicious attack by hiring “cyber security” specialists to protect everything from networks to mobile devices.

Programming and Computer Support. Both tracks provide the background necessary for immediate employment or for transferring to a four-year college for a bachelor's degree in technology.

Expected for the upcoming fall semester will be new cyber security courses and a course in forensics security, all of which will be part of the Computer Support program.

Cyber attacks these days are dangerous not only to individuals but also to businesses, according to experts. An attack on an individual may be designed to gain their identity or to extort payment. For businesses, cyber criminals seek to destroy sensitive data by accessing, changing or deleting important information.

Cyber attacks can cause electrical blackouts, failure of military equipment and breaches of national security secrets. They can result in the theft of valuable data like medical records. They can disrupt phone and computer networks or paralyze systems, making data unavailable.

SUNY students will learn to protect computer operating systems, networks and data, how to monitor systems and how to mitigate threats when they happen.

Cyber forensics has got students fascinated as well, said Santiago.

“Forensics security deals with offering support at crime scenes,” he noted. “For example, somebody has killed somebody and law enforcement needs to know what’s on their

“It’s a very hands-on course,” he said. “Eighty percent of the course takes place in the lab. We are teaching both the tools and the methodologies.”

Dr. Santiago began his long educational career after serving in the U.S. Navy in 1991 and then in the

SMOKE-FREE: New campus policy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5S

smoke-free campus policy.

According to the college, these efforts are part of a national movement among students, faculty, and administrators to address smoking and tobacco use not only at SUNY Sullivan but at colleges across the United States.

This new policy will be enforced in all buildings, residence halls, grounds, sidewalks, personal vehicles on campus, SUNY Sullivan vehicles, roads, or anywhere else within the 405-acre campus.

This ban includes cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaping, cigars, chewing tobacco, pipes, hookah, snus, dip, marijuana, and all other tobaccorelated products.

The college is not only looking to ban such products but wants to help those who want to quit.

Leading up to this change, the college has been holding events and was spreading awareness about the

negative aspects of tobacco and vaping.

Jenna Lewis, a student who graduated in December 2019, has been part of the smoke-free policy campaign.

She has traveled to Washington D.C. and met with other tobaccofree activists and college leaders to see the best practices to implement this policy.

A task force of volunteers from the campus community of students, faculty, and staff will assist with education and the transition to the new policy.

Lewis said, “This semester, we’ve enhanced our campaign by creating logos for t-shirts and networking with quit smoking programs for those who need the source of guidance. This campaign promotes public policy to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke.”

Jobs Galore in Medical Assistant Profession, Says SUNY Professor STORY BY KATHY DALEY

O

n May 16 almost five years ago, Derrick VanGordon graduated from the two-year medical assistant program at SUNY Sullivan.

Less than two weeks later, Crystal Run Healthcare in Middletown hired him.

“In the college’s program, I got a lot of skills and information on the basics of disease, how the body works, and

on medical terminology,” said VanGordon, who grew up in Monticello and lives now in Forestburgh. “I learned how to interact with patients and how to work with doctors and co-workers. As part of the course, I externed at Crystal Run and then they hired me.”

According to Dr. Dianne Czahor of SUNY Sullivan, medical assistant work is one of the fastest growing

fields in health care. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics gives the profession a projected job growth outlook of 23 percent over the decade from 2018 to 2028, much higher than the average.

“Here in the Sullivan County area we see a similar trend,” said Czahor, associate professor and coordinator of the college’s medical assistant program. “The vast majority of outpatient medical facilities in the area now have multiple job postings for medical assistants. It’s not uncommon for students to get jobs right out of the program. Several of our students have even had job offers while still enrolled and guaranteed full-time positions contingent only upon graduation.”

For years, the college has offered the program as a two-year course that results in an AAS (Associate of Applied Science) degree. As of this coming fall, a one-year certificate program will be added.

“Students earning a one-year certificate can get a job as well,” noted Czahor. “In fact, many medical assistants in the field do not have college degrees. The medical work for both a one-year student and a two-year student is comparable. The (two year) degree, however, provides the potential for additional educational opportunities, such as the ability to transfer or continue on to higher education, specialization, and so on.”

Medical assistants perform clinical and administrative duties under the

supervision of a physician or other health care professional. They can take medical histories and record vital signs, explain treatment procedures to patients, prepare patients for an examination, and assist during diagnostic exams.

Medical assistants can instruct patients about medications and special diets, prepare and administer medications and ready patients for Xrays.

Both the AAS degree and the certificate program require students to successfully complete specific lecture and lab classes, said Czahor. Included are topics like Basic Phlebotomy, which enables medical assistants to draw blood, and EKG, which allows them to administer electrocardiograms.

Both programs also require students to complete 135 hours of unpaid time working in local health care agencies and organizations where they have the opportunity to apply the skills they’ve learned.

“Being a medical assistant was a good first step for me,” said VanGordon. “A lot of people who are medical assistants love it and stop there.”

But VanGordon began to consider furthering his knowledge and practice. Along with his work at Crystal Run, he’s back in the halls of SUNY Sullivan, studying for his degree as a registered nurse.

No matter what, people everywhere have to eat something STORY BY KATHY DALEY

“L

et food be thy medicine,” said the famous Greek physician Hippocrates, and things haven’t changed much in 2,400 years.

Eating makes you feel good whether it’s a meal solo or with friends. And creating great cuisine is really fun, says master chef Michael Bel, who once served dinner at the White House. The gala eat-a-thon took place in 1995 when Bill Clinton was president.

“I said to myself, ‘I can’t believe I’m in this room, cooking for the president of the United States,’” recalled Bel. In his second year as director of SUNY Sullivan’s new Catskill Hospitality Institute, Bel works with some eight culinary professionals who teach this year’s raft of students.

Beginning in mid-March, things

Director Michael Bel gives easy cooking tips to children at Liberty Elementary School. He grew up in the restaurant and lodging field, studied in culinary school and earned a business degree. He worked in restaurants in England and France before spending 30 years as executive chef at places like the Hilton and Ritz Carlton

changed. With the corona virus in full swing across the world, “Our students in Culinary & Pastry Arts Programs are at home and being taught via distance learning,” said Bel. “We are teaching them through lectures, various research assignments and a wide array of professionally created videos, blogs and films.”

The college’s credit-bearing academic degree programs in culinary arts, pastry arts, professional chef, hospitality and tourism management has attracted some 80 students this year, who hope to eventually work locally, nationally or internationally.

INVITING GUESTS IN The college’s Associate in Occupational Science degree in Culinary Arts starts with Introduction to Food & Baking and moves on to business math, restaurant operations, principles of marketing and hospitality cost control.

Students hone their skills at hands-on cooking events for the community.

“We host about 15 or 16 events throughout the school year,” said Bel. During each fall semester, a fully functioning bakery produces student-crafted traditional European classic desserts like croissants of southern France or tarte au sucre, which is a scrumptious pie filled with sugar and maple syrup mixed with cream and vanilla. On Wednesdays, the bakery opens to the public.

Then there are the every other Thursday four-course pre fixe dinners cooked and served by students in the college’s Grossinger Dining Hall. Of course, the hall was named after famed Liberty hotelier Paul Grossinger, whose resort inspired the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing.”

At college recruitment events like the one that took place on March 7, crowds of parents and prospective students feast on gourmet food

served up by current Institute students.

“We want people to be aware of what we do,” said Bel. And that includes good-cuisine “deeds.”

For example, in February, the culinary program linked with Foster Supply and Hospitality and WSUL Radio to raise funds for Catskill Regional Medical Center. The Hearta-Thon took place at the North Branch Inn where folks feasted on roasted duck.

At Christmastime, students from the Institute participated in Hurleyville’s annual holiday celebration They’ve also baked goodies for a veterans fund-raiser. Hopefully, this summer will invite students to show off their cooking skills farmers’ market demonstrations.

POST-DIPLOMA PLANS Students graduating from the Institute have a passport to anywhere to ply their trade. Or they can stay in Sullivan County. Up until the

corona virus crisis, employers had been phoning Bel for summer workers.

“Beginning in February, we had 60 to 70 employers calling us for everything from front desk people to cooks, bakers and even lifeguards,” said Bel. “We posted ads and passed the information along to students.”

The national crisis, however, has had a huge impact on the hotel industry, not to mention the U.S. economy.

But Bel remains upbeat about the future.

“We are very optimistic,” he said, “that at the conclusion of the current circumstances, all of the opportunities and community involvement that we’re accustomed to will resume for our upcoming graduates, for our continuing hospitality students and for our alumni in Sullivan County and the surrounding areas.”.
