The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition To Host Its Annual Together In Teal® No Boundaries National Broadcast Celebration

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), will be hosting its 2020 Together in TEAL - No Boundaries, National Broadcast Celebration on Saturday, September 26, at 7 PM ET/ 6 PM CT and 4 PM PT. NOCC is launching a new nationwide campaign and event that will enable our community to unite from coast-to-coast with no limits. While our traditional Together in TEAL Run/Walk events cannot take place in the interest of safety and public health, our community needs to be united. The organization’s

signature event, hosted in communities across the United States each year, raises the critical funds necessary to support Earlier Awareness, Quality of Life for Survivors, Research, and Community Outreach. On September 26, we will unite people across the nation touched by ovarian cancer for our Together in TEAL - No Boundaries National Broadcast Celebration. This event will highlight the most inspiring and remarkable stories being told every day in our communities. Ovarian cancer has no boundaries, so

our movement to eradicate it shouldn’t have them either.

The global pandemic which limits us from gathering has empowered us. Now is a time for unity. And NOCC is ready to come together in the fight against ovarian cancer. Many do not know that ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers, that 1 in 78 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime, and that there are no screening tests available.

NOCC is a national women’s health organization focused on saving lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure

ovarian cancer and improve the quality of life for Survivors. All work is done with one vision in mind to live in a world where no woman ever loses a life to this disease. When you support NOCC, you invest in saving lives. Join us on September 26 by visiting https://runwalk. ovarian.org/longisland About National Ovarian Cancer Coalition For more than 25 years, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition has been committed to raising awareness, promoting education, and funding

research supporting women, families, and communities touched by ovarian cancer.

The NOCC is an important national advocate for patients and families struggling with ovarian cancer and remains steadfast in its mission “to save lives by fighting tirelessly to prevent and cure ovarian cancer, and to improve the quality of life for Survivors.

“This is a wonderful honor for me and my family. It’s also an opportunity to inspire future leaders of this great nation,” Nolan said about being selected as one of this year’s honorees.

“Sailors should not follow you because they have to … they should follow you because they were inspired to. I believe a true leader inspires and is inspired by the sailors he or she leads.”

Nolan’s Navy rating of boatswain’s mate, often addressed simply as “Boats,” is one of the oldest ratings in the U.S. Navy and its origins can be traced back to the 1775 Continental Navy and the Revolutionary War. In addition to his recent nomination, his military service awards have included: the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (two times), the Armed Forces Reserve Medals “M” - two devices (three times), Navy Battle “E” Ribbons INDUCTED INTO THE 2020 CLASS OF THE NEW YORK STATE VETERANS’ (five times), Global War Terrorism Medal, HALL OF FAME - Stephanie Nolan (front, right) accepts a proclamation on behalf on of her husband, Senior Chief Boatswain’s Mate Kevin Nolan, from New York State Global War on Terrorism Senator Monica R.

TAKING A LOOK BACK! This August I have been “taking a look back” at articles I have published in the past, giving various charities another chance at exposure. During these tough times, it is very important we continue to help others and support local charities where we can. Enjoy this past article about a wonderful nonprofit, The Book Fairies.

surpassed 1.4 million books collected!

They function out of their main office in Freeport, but they also work with 40 different special needs sites that pickup book donations and bring them to their office. Every book that they collect goes through sorting, their process of thoroughly examining the type of book and condition it’s in. The Book Fairies heavily relies on the work of selfless The Book Fairies is an organization volunteers, who generously give of their time to help this charity! The Book Fairies located in Freeport, NY. Years ago, receive help from about 1,500 volunteers founder Amy Zaslansky heard about a each year! classroom that had no books to offer to its students. Amy decided to start a book Because of their book donations, many people have been able to experience drive for used children’s books so she could hopefully be able to donate books the joy of reading. One local school that to this classroom. By word of mouth and received many book donations through hard work, this drive took off and resulted this organization in turn saw their school wide reading level increase 400%! in a final donation of about 3,500 books!

Driven by her desire to make a difference in her community, Amy later created The Book Fairies, a 501C3 non-profit.

The Book Fairies accepts donations of new and gently used books, and connects them with libraries, schools, veteran organizations, soup kitchens and more organizations throughout all five boroughs and on Long Island that do not have the funds to foster the love of reading.

Reading materials can not only foster literacy and academic success, but they can also provide a respite from personal struggles and nature a love of reading across age groups. 50% of schools that this organization works with does not have libraries. 64% of fourth graders in New York State read below their grade level. Books can be expensive and many people do not have the funds to afford reading material. Thankfully, Book Fairies are there to help! Their first year as a non-profit, The Book Fairies collected 35,000 books. As of today, they have

If you would like to get involved with The Book Fairies, you can! Book donations are always welcome. If you would like to donate books, you can do so at their Freeport location, you can visit one of their local book donation sites or you can arrange for your books to be picked up if you have five or more boxes of donations.

Tips For Effective Remote Learning

and resources available that enable teachers to provide live video lessons or to record them so students can watch them later. Similarly, social networking apps and virtual meeting programs enable students to connect digitally. This can be helpful for collaborative learning assignments or just to see a familiar face.

• Stick To Tools That Work. Once students find apps or systems that work, they should stick with them, offers Khan Academy, an educational tutoring resource. There are many factors outside of one’s control during virtual instruction, but maintaining consistency with tools and schedules is one way to feel more confident and secure.

• Check Student Accounts Frequently. Just like students, teachers may be learning as they go in regard to remote learning strategies.

Students should be sure to check school email accounts or other places where teachers post assignments a few times per day so that they stay on top of all assignments

and are aware of due dates.

• Reach Out To Instructors. Allegheny College suggests students contact their teachers if they are unsure of how to participate in remote learning environments.

Ask questions about assignments, get clarification on key topics and be sure to tune into any remote chats or virtual “office hours.”

• Stay In Touch With Guidance, If Needed.

Remote learning is a new experience for many students, and there may be certain struggles or road blocks. It can be easy to grow frustrated with equipment failures or lack of in-person interaction.

Schools employ qualified therapists and guidance counselors who are just a click, call or email away if issues need to be talked through. Students should utilize all resources made available to them.

Virtual home instruction can be made even easier with some extra assistance and guidance.

5 Smart Ways to Prep for Back-to-School Without the Stress (StatePoint) Whether the new school year means your kids will be heading back to the classroom, learning remotely, or a mix of both, back-to-school will most likely be stressful.

Thinking ahead can help prepare everyone for a new way of learning, and simplify the transition from the slow ease of summertime to the bustle of the school year.

Follow these tips so that everyone is ready when the first bell rings.

1. Resume the Routine.

Summertime schedules are often lax, but a more structured routine is important during the school year. At least a week before classes start, reestablish set bedtimes and mealtimes to ease everyone back into school year habits.

Even if children are remote-learning this fall, keep first day of school traditions alive with their favorite breakfast, pictures and a first day of school outfit.

2. Simplify Shopping.

Create a checklist of items you’ll need to buy, as well as plan out where you’ll make purchases. Check school dress codes and required supply lists before you head out, so you don’t have to make multiple trips. In addition to the usual supplies, stock up on extra face masks, personal tissues and hand sanitizer. If your child will be learning virtually, you may want to consider adding items to the list like extra USB chargers and ports, noisecancelling headphones – to help older siblings concentrate – and even blue light filtering glasses for kids that will be in front of a computer or tablet more than usual.

3. Set Up a Homework Station. A dedicated space to store supplies and paperwork is key to staying organized. Let kids take pride in this space so they want to spend time studying there by having them create their own accessories and decorating them to their liking. Duck Tape provides an easy, inexpensive way to add flair to school gear. Cover notebooks and folders in a favorite Duck Tape design, customize desk organizers and décor with cool on-trend colors, or craft one-ofa-kind creations, like pencil pouches and tablet covers. Available in more than 250 colors, designs and licenses, there’s a roll to suit any kid’s style.

4. Stick to the Schedule.

Once the hustle and bustle of the school year kicks into high gear, it’s important that students, parents and teachers stay on track. Find a unique way to display activities, homework or personal messages to your kids like a “quote of the day.”

You can use colored tape and chalkboard tape to outline a fun activity chart on a dry erase board or chalkboard easel. In

addition to to-do lists and homework assignments, make sure to include outdoor time for recess and opportunities for arts and crafts. At the end of each day, sit together to check off everything that’s been completed and help your kids update the schedule for the next day – this way they stay engaged and excited for what’s to come.

5. Label Supplies. Kids are forgetful and it’s easy for supplies to become misplaced or swapped with other children. To ease your mind about your child sharing pencils or accidentally grabbing the wrong backpack, have a night where you sit down and label supplies with colorful Duck Tape. Your child can select favorite colors and customize folders for each subject.

If learning from home, this is also great way to prevent “he stole my pencil” arguments amongst siblings.

For more back-toschool craft projects and DIY inspiration, visit duckbrand.com.

Simple preparations can help your family adjust to a new schedule and new school year.

An increased reliance on virtual home instruction has many students rethinking their organizational strategies and daily school schedules.

Learning at home is different from being in a traditional classroom environment, but with some effective strategies, students can persevere without missing a beat.

• Stick To A Schedule.

Many students are successful because they follow a schedule. The Center for Social and Emotional Foundations of Early Learning says that routines and schedules are important because they influence a child’s emotional and cognitive development.

Children feel secure with schedules, which may help them recognize what’s expected of them.

When learning at home, students should strive to maintain as consistent a schedule as possible, including bedtimes, wake times, hours devoted to learning, and time to get outside or engage in downtime activities.

• Connect Live If Possible.

A flashlight is an invaluable part of any disaster preparedness kit, and it's a handy tool to have on hand in a car, at home or when traveling.

You never know when you might need a flashlight, and it's helpful to have many on hand. When stocking up on flashlights for emergency kits, choose ones with light-emitting diode, or LED, technology.

According to Popular Mechanics, LED flashlights are 70 percent more efficient than incandescent models. That means the batteries powering the light have the potential to last 10 times longer.

Furthermore, LEDs do not have any fragile parts like incandescent bulbs. That makes them more likely to withstand shock or even endure being dropped.

Together.

Many question marks are surrounding this fall. Are we working from home? Are we remote learning? Whatever we end up doing, it’s time together with your family that is necessary and certain. Woodloch is where you can remote learn, work from home, and come closer together with your family. We’re here for you when you’re ready.

“Every one of our classrooms has a new Covid-19 enrollment limit.”

On August 24, Hofstra reopened for in-person classes, however, new safety measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing have been implemented.

Every student is required to wear a mask when attending a class in-person.

“We’ve taken safety into consideration in everything we do,” said Herman Berliner, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Hofstra. “Every one of our classrooms has been reconfigured.”

Hofstra classrooms were redesigned to comply with social distancing guidelines. Desks are set six feet apart from each other.

“A typical classroom which used to seat forty or

If a student decides to come to class without a mask on, a faculty member will ask the student to put one on. If the student doesn’t listen to the faculty member, the class will be dismissed for the day, the student will receive a “w” on their transcript and the student will have to go through the code of conduct.

“There will be a zerotolerance mask policy in class. We expect every student and all faculty members to wear a mask any time they’re in the building, period,” said Berliner.

“Masks will

However, even with the new safety measures some students are still concerned about returning to campus. be provided in every building in case a student forgets to bring one.”

Rooms across campus are also provided for commuting students who want to do their online classes on campus.

“The smaller classrooms, which will not be good for in-person classes due to social distancing, will be made available,” said Berliner. “If the student had an online class in between two inperson classes, they will be able to reserve a spot in one of those rooms.”

If a student doesn’t feel comfortable attending a class in person, classes are recorded and livestreamed so that they can continue their education from home.

“For more than 100 classrooms, we have put a lecture capture in place,” said Berliner. “We can record the faculty member and what is happening on the smartboard.”

Social distancing in the cafeteria and other eating places on campus are also implemented.

“I am particularly concerned about kids congregating off-campus,” said Jason Siegel, a senior double majoring in journalism and history with a minor in political science. “I think students will go off campus for get-togethers and parties where there will be no one to enforce mask-wearing and social distancing.

One of the biggest concerns from some of the students is intergrading the incoming freshmen.

Many upperclassmen worry that these new students will have a

harder time meshing with the rest of them.

“I met a bunch of my closer friends in-person during orientation,” said Shelby Van Hyfte, a sophomore neuroscience major. “These incoming freshmen will mainly be meeting people through different methods. It’s going to take more effort for them to make friends.”

“I’m worried that the incoming freshmen will not be able to have the real Hofstra experience,” said an anonymous sophomore majoring in health science.

“I met my best friend at orientation. These students had to do theirs online, and it’s not the same.”

Hofstra said that they’re trying to put together events such as drivein movies and virtual activities so that the incoming freshmen will be able to meet people and make new friends.

How To Support Scholastic Athletes

athletes who are unsure about what the future holds. Purchase signs and/or T-shirts from school-based support organizations, erecting the signs in your yard so local athletes know they’re still supported, even if they can’t play. highlight videos.

• Create Smartphones have made it possible to record nearly every one of life’s special moments and milestones, so chances are coaches, parents and neighbors have footage of local athletes competing in their sports.

Parents, coaches and other fans can work together to create highlight videos for local scholastic sports teams, sharing the finished products via social media. These videos can make for great and lasting memories for student-athletes and even lift their spirits at a time when everyone can use a boost.

• Host pep rallies. Organize a pep rally to honor and show support for local athletes. Work with school officials to ensure everyone celebrates safely.

Such events are integral to studentathletes’ experience during typical sports seasons, so they can be a great way for communities to offer some semblance of normalcy to athletes who have worked hard to make the team.

Student-athletes face uncertainty in regard to the 2020-21 scholastic sports season, but there are many ways for local communities to support their student-athletes, even if the games are postponed or canceled.

Factors To Consider When Setting Up A School Carpool

Getting kids to and from school can be a challenge for working parents. School start times do not always coordinate with parents’ work schedules, and school typically lets out before parents’ workdays end.

Carpools are one way parents confront the challenge posed by juggling work and family. With a new school year approaching, parents can take the following factors into consideration as they work to establish carpools.

• Determine your insurance needs. Before planning carpools, parents who plan to participate should contact their auto insurance providers to make sure their policies cover driving others. The organizer of the carpool should make sure every parent does this prior to

the school year. Some parents may need to purchase supplemental insurance, and each parent should be willing to provide proof of their insurance as well.

• Reach out to parents in your neighborhood.

A carpool that is neighborhood-based as opposed to one that is based more on students’ social circles will likely prove more convenient for parents. A carpool with neighbors means parents won’t have to drive far to pick up and/or drop off other students, saving everyone valuable time each day.

• Don’t go overboard.

Even if your minivan or SUV can seat half a dozen children, you may want to limit the carpool to a more manageable number of youngsters.

Getting kids up and out the door each morning is a challenge when there’s just one youngster

involved, let alone several. By limiting a carpool to between two and four children, parents won’t have to worry about too many hiccups during their morning routines.

• Discuss early closures and other unique days in advance. School schedules tend to be the same throughout the year, but there are various times when early closures can affect carpools. This is especially true for parents with children who attend different schools. When planning a carpool, discuss early closure dates with other parents and develop a plan for how to manage pickup.

School carpools are convenient for working parents. Planning prior to the school year is a great way to ensure carpools are successful.

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 26, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

The 2020-21 school year promises to be one unlike any other today’s students, and even their parents and grandparents, have ever known.

In March 2020, many schools were forced to abruptly cancel in-person instruction as government officials tried to prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. As the 201920 school year wound down and summer approached, school officials remained uncertain if they would reopen for in-person instruction in the fall, leaving student-athletes to wonder what would happen to fall sports seasons.

The cancellation of in-person school sessions and extracurricular activities was hard on every student, and athletes have proven no exception. Many graduating seniors did not get a chance to compete alongside their teammates during spring sports season, bringing their scholastic athletic careers to an abrupt end. With the upcoming 2020-21 scholastic sports season in similar limbo, student-athletes in the class of 2021 might be worried that their own chances to compete are in jeopardy as well. In light of that, local communities can take steps to support scholastic athletes during an uncertain time.

• Make a show of your support. Stayat-home measures prevented many schools from hosting traditional graduation ceremonies for graduating seniors. However, many communities found ways to honor their grads, and they can do the same for scholastic

Armor Museum Opens With COVID-19 Protocols And A Motivational “Call To Arms” From World War II How to motivate visitors to maintain social distancing upon entering the Museum of American Armor?

The Armor Museum has enlisted the Army.

The Museum of American Armor, 1303 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage, has teamed up with Dr. Erik Villard, Digital Military Historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History, to present his innovative reinvention of motivational posters first created by the War Department during World War II. From G.I.s prepared to throw hand sanitizers (as opposed to hand grenades), to a masked Uncle Sam leading a charge against COVID, the posters will be situated throughout the museum, adjacent to its tanks, artillery pieces, and uniformed mannequins.

Dr. Villard explained, “I already have a massive collection of these posters.

I just looked through them and thought, ‘Okay, which ones could be modified, so that they keep something of the original spirit, but would be applicable to the

Covid crisis?’

“Some of the posters are kind of the traditional attack / over the top variety; but then others, like the ‘Knowledge Wins’ poster are more informationbased. Certain images will resonate with some people, and others will prefer a

Northwell ICU Nurses Volunteer To Assist Utah Health System In an effort to support fellow health care workers battling coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 30 Northwell Health nurses answered the call to deploy to Utah to support Intermountain Healthcare.

Speaking via Zoom, three intensive care unit (ICU) nurses -- representing Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park and Southside Hospital in Bay Shore – were in unanimous agreement that pitching in to assist their colleagues in support of both COVID-19 and non-COVID patients was the right thing to do.

Andrew Roberts, the project manager for emergency deployment at Northwell, said the 30 deployed agreed to work at Intermountain Medical Center over a sixweek period – in groups of 10 over two-week deployments.

“Last April, when we were in the epicenter of the COVID outbreak, Intermountain deployed two COVID-19 response teams of 100 staff members to assist New York hospitals,” Mr. Roberts said. “Clearly, now that the surge has subsided in

New York, it’s our time to return the favor. These 30 people left their homes, their families, and their friends. As ICU nurses, they all possess a very specialized set of skills. We are so grateful to them and so proud.”

The three nurses who spoke from Utah are: • Madison Montague, RN, cardiothoracic ICU, Lenox Hill Hospital; • Jeffrey Rosa, RN, surgical ICU, LIJ Medical Center; • Shereyah Barbera, RN, ICU, Southside Hospital.

Mr. Rosa expressed the feelings of the group best when he said, “In April, during the peak of COVID-19 in New York, we were so overwhelmed with incredibly sick and unstable patients. We saw so many patients take their last breath. These heroes here from Intermountain were among the first I saw that answered the call and came to our aid when we needed it the most. It was one of the most selfless acts I think I have ever witnessed. When the call came for volunteers, we knew we had to return the favor.”

different approach,” he continued.

Museum of American Armor founder and president, Lawrence Kadish, stated, “We are following all the CDC protocols which allowed the museum to open on July 31st, but we wanted to make sure that our visitors’ behavior remained the first line of defense against spreading COVID-19.

These imaginative reenvisionings of classic military posters by Dr. Villard are designed to get your attention, focus on COVID precautions, and to do so in a setting that reminds you America has gotten through much worse when it pulled together.”

The Museum of American Armor has some 40 operational military vehicles under cover within Nassau County’s Old Bethpage Village Restoration. Its re-opening hours are Friday to Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. An admission donation of $15 for adults is requested, $10 NORTHWELL ICU NURSES VOLUNTEER - In an effort to support fellow health for seniors and veterans, care workers battling coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 30 Northwell Health and $8 for children. nurses answered the call to deploy to Utah to support Intermountain Healthcare.

today a special moment for Kevin and his wife, even though they could not be together, giving them the chance to see each other and celebrate this award together.”

For more than a decade, the New York State Senate has proudly honored remarkable veterans from around the state who have distinguished themselves in both their military

and civilian life. Service members recognized by the Hall of Fame dedicate their lives to the highest cause. Their bravery and the courage of their convictions has helped to shape and sustain our country, one of diverse beauty and unwavering strength.

“Kevin’s career as a decorated police officer and as a senior chief

boatswain’s mate in the U.S. Navy Reserve epitomizes what service to our nation is all about,” Steven A. Castleton, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, New York (South) said in support of Nolan’s achievements. “I am honored to stand here with his family.”

Many of the honorees contribute extensively

to their local New York communities. They are not only veterans, but also community organizers, teachers, small business owners, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel and other firstresponders. Collectively, public service is said to be their life calling.

In addition to the honorees, family members, friends and

St. Jude Walk/Run On Long Island Transforms To Virtual Event Event To Benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

In celebration of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, supporters of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® from across the country, including the Long Island community, will be participating in the virtual St. Jude Walk/Run September 26th.

This year participants can walk, run and fundraise at their own pace and distance in their own neighborhoods. In addition, the St. Jude Walk/ Run mobile app, is available

in the Apple app store and on Google Play, to provide a unique experience to participants that includes a virtual tour of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and some engagement opportunities using augmented reality.

Funds raised through events like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Treatments invented

at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened nearly 60 years ago. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

Fuel Consumption In 2012, the U.S. Department of the Treasury studied the effect that getting stuck in traffic has on fuel consumption.

Researchers discovered that Americans were wasting 1.9 billion gallons of gas each year due to congested roads and inadequate

Telehealth Could Be An Option

transportation infrastructure. Although that study was conducted in 2012, it’s reasonable to conclude that wasted fuel remains a big and potentially dangerous issue. One way to cut down on the environmental and financial toll of traffic is to find different routes that

help drivers avoid traffic jams. Even if such routes are more circuitous, they may end up helping commuters save time and money in the long run.

Popular GPS-based traffic apps can guide drivers to less congested roadways by allowing users to set filters to avoid traffic.

PUZZLE ANSWERS:

Social distancing guidelines encouraging people to stay in their homes as much as possible led many to wonder what to do in regard to visiting their physicians. Telehealth is one option people may want to explore.

is different for adults than it is students right out of high school.

Responsibilities to family and employers complicate the decision about where to go to school. The following tips can help adults as they decide where to continue their educations.

• Choose a school that meets your needs. Look for schools that can accommodate priorities other than academics, such as family and work.

Many schools now offer flexible schedules and online classes. Check out schools with strong reputations for working with adult learners.

• Sit down with a college counselor. If you’ve been in college before, pull your transcripts and bring any information about coursework, credits and life experience. This way you can be credited for what you have already accomplished.

Counselors can serve as invaluable resources as you navigate a return to the classroom.

• Brush up on the skills required of successful students. If you’ve been out of school for awhile,

brush up on your study skills, note-taking, annotating, and other skills that can serve you well in an academic environment.

• Speak with your employer. Many employers support employees who want to return to school, especially when employees will be gaining skills that are applicable to their existing careers. Some employees may even help their employers finance their educations.

According to Matthew Reed, the vice president for learning at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, N.J., roughly 90 percent of midsize or large employers offer some kind of tuition reimbursement.

Even when that’s not available, some employers may have an arrangement with certain schools that provide discounts to their workers, says Reed.

Adults returning to school is becoming increasingly common.

Planning and making use of resources at your disposal can help you navigate the process of returning to school as an adult.

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 26, 2020 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

College campuses are diverse. Newly minted high school graduates embarking on the next stage of their studies might dominate college campuses, but many established professionals who have long since graduated from high school are also among the student bodies at universities across the globe.

The National Center for Education Statistics says that one in five Americans enrolled in undergraduate higher education is at least 30 years old.

The changing face of higher education should be a comfort to adults who may have been apprehensive about heading back to school.

Adults considering a return to school should not allow age to deter them from enrolling.

Many people now complete degrees later in life, while others return to school to study subjects they did not study during their first go-rounds as college students.
