ST. BALDRICK’S DAY EVENT RAISES MONEY FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH

O

n March 13 Hofstra University and the Hofstra Roller Hockey Club raised more than $17,000 with the annual St. Baldrick’s Day event, a fundraiser at which more than 50 Hofstra students, administrators, and faculty shaved their heads to raise money for childhood cancer research.

The St. Baldrick’s Day event was first brought to Hofstra in 2009 by alumnus and Roller Hockey Club member Thomas Kostiw. “This event is really special to me and something that I truly look forward to each year. The funds raised are extremely important and go a long way in research and treatment for children struggling with cancer,” Kostiw said.

Hofstra student Inae Rurup shaved her head for the annual St. Baldrick’s Day event to raise money for childhood cancer research.

“Seeing the hockey team, university and community come together each year for such a worthy cause is an extraordinary feeling,” Kostiw said. “Everyone works so hard to raise money and get the word out. Watching these unselfish individuals sign up to shave their heads year after year is truly inspiring.”

St. Baldrick’s Day is the largest volunteer-driven fundraising program for children’s cancer research in the world, according to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

Participants this year included Dean of Students Peter Libman and Dr. Mario Murillo, chairman of the Radio, Television, Film Department and co-director of the Center for Civic Engagement at Hofstra University. Top teams included the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and the Hofstra Roller Hockey Club.

MEDICAL STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBER HONORED BY FRIENDS OF THE SANDS POINT PRESERVE FOR WORK WITH BEEWHISPERING PROGRAM

REMARKABLE RELAY FOR LIFE RAISES MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR CANCER RESEARCH

T

hree Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine students and a professor of science education at the school received awards of distinction from the Friends of the Sands Point Preserve in recognition of their volunteer work at the preserve in the BeeWhispering Program. The educational program supports local honeybee colonies and raises public awareness of the bees’ beneficial effects on the environment. The award ceremony took place on May 4 at the organization’s Gold Gala.

The BeeWhispering Program raises public awareness of bees’ benefits to the environment.

Science Education Department Chair Patrick J. Gannon, PhD, and medical students A.J. Blood, Branson Sparks and Matthew Katz were recognized for their educational outreach programs and their excellent presentations at the beeyards for visiting school groups, local families, and even Long Island farmers. At the School of Medicine, the students also work with honeybee colonies located at Hofstra University as part of a research study investigating if and how natural honey may aid in desensitizing patients with seasonal pollen allergies (spring fever).

“It’s a great honor to be recognized by the Friends of the Sands Point Preserve,” said Dr. Gannon.

“Their interest and attention to the global crisis for honeybee colonies are timely, since the media has finally brought the contributions of this unassuming insect to agriculture into the public eye.”

“Humanism is an essential value that guides all aspects of our school and our curriculum,” said Dean Lawrence Smith, MD. “The work of The Gold Humanism Honor Society fits perfectly into what we are trying to instill in our students, so that they become compassionate, caring physicians.”

Students on the Medical School’s Community Service Committee collaborated on the idea of making the baskets.

They spent weeks preparing the 28 baskets filled with a collection of dried fruit, granola bars, pretzels, bottled water, and juice boxes.

tudents from the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine embraced the spirit of Valentine’s Day this year by delivering gift baskets to nurses’ stations and ICU waiting rooms throughout the North Shore-LIJ Health System in observance of The Gold Humanism Honor Society’s Solidarity Day for Compassionate Patient Care. Solidarity Day provided an opportunity for medical students and other health care workers to demonstrate their commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.

“We know that we cannot eliminate the pain and stress that families are feeling in these situations,” said Lindsey Healy, one of the medical students participating in the project. “However, we want our community to know that we are thinking of them and that we are training to be compassionate doctors. We also want to thank hospital staff for working tirelessly to provide the best patient care possible.”

Solidarity Day was ignited by the humanistic actions of Randall Friese, MD, the University of Arizona trauma surgeon who was the first to treat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Dr. Friese struck a chord when he said that the most important thing he did for her in the ER was to take her hand and tell her that she was in Page 2

member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. The teams did most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also held creative fundraisers at their camp site.

Relay For Life began in May 1985, when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon, took the first step of his 24-hour walk around a track in Tacoma, Wash., and raised $27,000 to support the American Cancer Society.

Patricia Montagano, senior assistant dean of students and director of recreation and intramural sports, has been working closely with the student organizers over the last several years. “It’s pretty amazing to see our students work so hard to rally everyone within our campus community on Relay For Life” said Montagano. “To build awareness, excitement and ultimately raise a huge amount of money through donations for such a worthy cause is an amazing accomplishment for these students.”

The Relay For Life event was held overnight as individuals and teams camped out in tents on the campus’s intramural fields, with at least one team

Event volunteer Calla Hales, an MBA student at Hofstra, is a survivor of cancer, three years into remission. “I was lucky,” she said. “My doctor found the cancer early and was able to treat it solely with surgery. I want to help give back and support all those whose battles are much harder than mine was.”

The Hofstra community raised more than $111,000 for the American Cancer Society as part of the annual Relay For Life, setting a new record for the Hofstra event.

Against the sunset, small paper bags with candles inside lined the track as Relay For Life participants, cancer survivors and caregivers gathered together for a ceremony to remember loved ones who have died and to honor those who have successfully battled the disease.

ZARB STUDENTS JOIN FORCES WITH NASSAU COUNTY TO AID VICTIMS OF SUPERSTORM SANDY Nurses and peop le in ICU waiting rooms re ceived Valentine’s Day gift baskets from medical stu dents.

“Families waiting in the ICU are going through the worst days of their lives,” said Lindsey. “They are stuck waiting in an unfamiliar place while their loved one battles a serious illness or injury. They may be so stressed that they have trouble eating and sleeping. We hope our efforts can ease some of that stress.”

The students delivered the baskets on Valentine’s Day to North Shore University Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and Glen Cove, Huntington, South Nassau, Plainview, Southside, and Franklin hospitals.

Undergraduate and graduate students from Hofstra’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business reached out to local residents to lend a helping hand after Superstorm Sandy. Partnering with Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano, the students volunteered to be part of the Economic Recovery Task Force, an initiative aimed at the micro- and macroeconomic issues resulting from the storm.

Zarb students contacted numerous businesses in local areas such as Cedarhurst, Freeport, Glen Cove, East Meadow, Hewlett, Lynbrook, Merrick, Rockville Centre, Oceanside, Valley Stream and Massapequa Park, among other Long Island neighborhoods, informing them of important resources available to assist in their recovery. “It was such a gratifying experience to speak to local

businesses and feel like we helped make a difference in their lives,” said Steven Medard, a Zarb undergraduate student majoring in finance and marketing. Recovery services and programs available to Nassau County residents include Small Business Administration disaster recovery loans, federal disaster assistance, shared work programs, unemployment assistance and municipal contacts.

“Our students have always maintained Hofstra’s tradition of community service. We are proud to have an astounding student body that exhibits great humanitarianism and leadership for their school, their peers and their community,” said Dr. Patrick J. Socci, dean, Zarb School of Business.

ASPIRING TEEN FILMMAKERS EXPLORE CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN DOCUMENTARY FILM PROGRAM

STUDENT-ATHLETES SAVE THEIR BEST MOVES FOR THE COMMUNITY

Ten students from New York City and Long Island high schools participated in this year’s Documenting Diversity program, an innovative summer initiative at Hofstra University that teaches and challenges these students to examine each other’s cultures through the art of documentary filmmaking. Now in its seventh year, the program is funded by The Rosenthal Family Foundation, a charitable organization established by Hofstra alumni Monica Horan Rosenthal and Phil Rosenthal, creator and executive producer of the award-winning television series Everybody Loves Raymond.

The five-week program allows students from diverse social and ethnic backgrounds to partner and make documentaries about each other that explore the similarities and differences that shape their points of view as emerging adults. The participants work under the guidance of Hofstra’s award-winning television and film faculty and student mentors, and they not only learn the technical elements of professional filmmaking in a rigorous academic environment, but also establish lasting friendships and gain a more informed outlook on other cultures and ways of life.

According to program co-directors William Jennings and Aashish Kumar, students participate in writing, editing and producing workshops that look at themes such as identity formation and articulation. They also are trained in the use of the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication’s state-of-the-art video equipment and editing software. Once their short films are completed, the students are invited back to a red carpet gala in the fall where their films are publicly screened. Films are also entered into film festivals and other screening events.

Documenting Diversity exposes students to documentary filmmaking and to lifestyles different from their own. The students, pictured here with their Hofstra mentors, receive a stipend for participating in the program.

Admission to the Documenting Diversity program is highly competitive and offered free of cost. Students who successfully complete their films receive a generous stipend.

This year’s participants were: • Alan-Michael Christian James Duval, senior, Valley Stream

Central High School • Blair Garett, sophomore, Valley Stream South High School • Sanying Gui, junior, Flushing International High School • Kevin Hernandez-Amadon, 2013 graduate of Hempstead High

The Bee was the second to be held at Hofstra, and Isabelle went on to represent Long Island at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. Hofstra extends special thanks to News 12 Long Island, The Scripps Company, Merriam-Webster Inc., Encyclopedia Britannica, Long Island Ducks, New York Islanders and Hofstra Summer Camps for their support of the competition.

During the spring 2013 semester Hofstra student-athletes continued to display their dedication in serving the Hempstead and surrounding communities. Hofstra studentathletes worked on 16 individual and 28 combined community service projects and tallied more than 500 hours of service. Student-athletes raised more than $4,000 for various local charities throughout the semester, highlighted by the 4th Annual Date Auction (sponsored by the Hofstra University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee) that raised more than $1,000 for the Special Olympics of Long Island.

Below are two other special projects that our studentathletes worked on this spring:

Reading With Pride In honor or Dr. Seuss’ birthday celebration on March 1, studentathletes made trips to three local elementary schools – Jackson Main Elementary, Franklin Avenue School, and Polk Street School – and shared their favorite Dr. Seuss books. Team members from men’s and women’s cross country, women’s basketball, women’s golf, volleyball, wrestling, baseball and women’s lacrosse visited children from pre-K through 4th grade to read with the students as well as stress the importance of a proper balance between education and sports.

Matt Reister from Hofstra baseball shared his favorite Dr. Seuss books with children for “Reading With Pride.”

Becky Celorio from the women’s cross country team volunteered at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Workshop at the Long Island Children’s Museum.

Long Island Children’s Museum Martin Luther King Jr. Day Workshop Hofstra student-athletes from the women’s cross country team took the afternoon of January 21 to volunteer at the Long Island Children’s Museum as the museum hosted a day of activities in remembrance of Dr. King. Student-athletes assisted with lessons about civil rights and racism, and created crafts with the children in attendance.

How do you estimate the number of dental or doctor’s offices, gas stations, restaurants, or movie theaters in a city of a given size? How can mathematics be used to understand and even maximize traffic flow through tunnels? What are “road-bows” and rain circles? Why do so-called “taxicab circles” look like squares? And why is pi equal to four in the city? Finally, what is the likelihood that your city will be hit by an asteroid?

This will be an informative, entertaining and nonthreatening introduction to the use of mathematics in understanding aspects of city life.

NETWORKS FOR LIFE: YOUR ROLE IN STITCHING THE NATURAL WORLD TOGETHER Presented by Dr. Douglas Tallamy, University of Delaware Join Dr. Tallamy as he discusses how biodiversity is essential to sustaining human societies because other living things run our ecosystems. Yet, throughout the United States we have fragmented the habitats that support biodiversity by the way we have landscaped our cities, suburbs, and farmland. This is a problem because isolated habitats cannot support populations large enough to survive normal environmental stresses.

We can reconnect viable habitats by expanding existing greenways, building riparian corridors, and changing the landscaping paradigm that dominates our yards and corporate landscapes.

FROM THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION TO THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA AND THE DEATH OF TRAYVON MARTIN A Hofstra Cultural Center Symposium • November 7 and 8, 2013

A

t the time of the 40th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1903 – W.E.B. DuBois wrote, “the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color-line” (The Souls of Black Folk). Sixty years later at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. declared: “But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.”

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. As Americans commemorate these anniversaries, it is a time to consider how far the nation has come in its quest to become a more equal society.

In addition to the November 7 and 8 program, join Hofstra University for a series of events sponsored by different constituents of the University leading up to the symposium dates.

Groups will explore and discuss the history and short- and long-term impact of the Emancipation Proclamation as well as modern-day slavery and injustices.
