https://www2.brockport.edu/academics/delta-college/experiential-learning/

Engaged Learning The Delta College uses traditional classroom learning, but we also believe there are some lessons best learned through experience. For this reason, we require our students to embrace the unknown and engage with the world around them. Delta College students complete two short practicums and a capstone experience. The way students complete these requirements is dependent on their major and future career goals. Some majors already have experiential learning built in to their curriculum which count towards the Delta requirements. Some examples of these are: - Internships - Study Abroad - Research - Clinicals - Student Teaching Students can set up customized internships in their hometowns, across the country, or around the world. You can utilize established programs such as the Disney Internship Program, Brockport’s Washington DC program, or more. Many students conduct original research with campus professors. Our experiential learning courses are intentionally flexible because we know that students’ needs differ depending on their career goals. Typically, most Delta students complete a 90-hour internship during their first two years to satisfy the course (Experiential Learning Practicum I). Internships provide students with a better understanding of their vocational interests, experience in their field, transferrable job skills, and a possible offer of employment. By completing a smaller internship early in their college career, it ensures that students don’t waste four years preparing for a career they eventually discover isn’t for them. Experiential Learning Practicum II is often satisfied by a second internship, a 3-credit study abroad experience, research, or an approved student leadership experience (e.g. Resident Assistant, Orientation leader, ROTC). The Delta Capstone is 12 credits. However, these credits can be completed in increments and do not need to be earned all at once. All Delta College students submit a “Capstone Proposal” that specifies their learning objectives and provides a narrative/explanation of how their capstone experience will benefit them in their future goals. Many students satisfy the Delta Capstone through their major requirements (e.g. nursing clinicals, student teaching, business or exercise science internships). However, if a student needs three credits or wants to engage another culture, but does not have the time or resources to study abroad they can utilize the multicultural encounters course. Multicultural Encounters We promote the development of multicultural awareness and experience for our students. The emergence of the Internet has globalized society and the economy. Employers are now looking for employees with international experience, a global perspective, and the ability to work well with people from different cultures. The Delta Multicultural Encounters course pairs our students with international students in order to learn about their native cultures, languages, and customs. Study Abroad We encourage our students to travel and study abroad. If a student studies abroad for a full semester, it satisfies their full capstone requirement. If they study abroad for the winter or summer, they can count those credits towards their capstone. We work in tandem with The Center for Global Education and Engagement to assist students in finding exciting and meaningful travel opportunities. The Delta College also offers a few trips of its own. In the past we have traveled to: - Wroclaw, Poland. - Alaska (twice) - Portugal - Spain - France

The Delta College functions as a college within the University. We are an academic unit that was chartered by SUNY to be a part of SUNY Brockport. We offer an alternate route for fulfilling the University’s general education requirements. Delta is one of a kind and only offered at Brockport. No other institution has an identical program. Delta is open to incoming first-year students. Because we have our own curriculum, entry later than the first year becomes impractical. Upperclassmen have already completed many general education courses. Delta is the perfect fit for commuters as it provides a learning community and designated campus space where they can feel at home. Our credits transfer the same as any other credits from the University, but sometimes require a letter of explanation. Our students are some of the most integrated students at the University. They major in every academic discipline, and many of them serve as leaders throughout campus. Yes, many Delta alumni have gone on to become lawyers, doctors, professors, and other esteemed professionals that need to attend graduate school for their career. Delta courses are scheduled in such a way that students can easily block out a semester or two for study abroad. They are smaller and emphasize cooperation and teamwork. They foster a deep sense of community and freedom of thought.

Graduate in Just Three Years Interested in saving time and money? Joining Delta College could save you as much as $20,000! Delta College began in the 1970’s as a time-shortened degree option and continues to maintain that identity for a variety of majors. A student with one of the following majors can graduate in as little as three years (or 99 credits instead of the traditional 120 credits) as long as they have completed the Delta requirements and their major requirements. - Anthropology - Art (studio) - Criminal Justice - Dance - English - French - Healthcare Studies - History - International Studies - Journalism & Broadcasting - Liberal Studies - Philosophy - Political Science - Psychology - Public Health (Consumer Health Education) - Social Work - Sociology - Spanish - Theatre - Women & Gender Studies The requirements for other majors have become too extensive to fit into six semesters. However, some fit into seven semesters, allowing students to graduate a semester early. Want to Stay all Four Years? Many of our students grow to love the home they have found here at the University and wish to stay, so they often add another major or minor. Graduating early is an option for Delta students, not a requirement. Don’t See your Major on the List? All majors are welcome to apply and benefit from our unique curriculum.

https://www2.brockport.edu/academics/delta-college/history-of-delta/

Since its origin, Delta has served to provide students with an alternate path toward education. In February 1972, the SUNY Board of Trustees approved the creation of a separate, three-year degree program at SUNY Brockport. The program was to have its own leadership, faculty, and curriculum (existing as a “college-within-a-college”). This new entity was originally called “The Alternate College” and was funded with a large grant from the Carnegie Commission for Higher Education and the SUNY system. In 1985, the name was changed to Delta College to avoid equating The Alternate College with many alternative remedial educational programs that had sprung up across the country. The Greek letter “delta” is used within the sciences to indicate change. The hope was that the new name would prove descriptive of the type of education offered through the revised program. In 1994, the Delta College curriculum and broader program took on the contours of its current shape. Professional preparation courses combined with local, national, and international applied learning opportunities became regular features of a Delta education. The general education courses developed an interdisciplinary focus & thematic continuity, the size of the program and courses sections were adjusted to promote a more intimate learning community, and experiential learning became a core aspect of the program. Today, Delta College remains a vibrant and exciting alternate means of earning a bachelor’s degree at the University. Throughout its changes over the years, the vision of an experiential, innovative, and interdisciplinary learning community remains alive and well within Delta College. As you consider joining our ranks, we invite you to become a part of this vision and history; to experience what we call “the Delta Difference.”

About Delta College Delta College is a unique program that can be found exclusively at SUNY Brockport. There is no program identical to Delta in the country! Delta College takes its name from the ancient Greek symbol for change. Delta College provides an unconventional education that equips students with the knowledge and skills to be the agents of change in an ever-changing world. Delta College functions as a “college within the College,” where the cutting edge ideas of higher education are applied. Delta classes consist of 25 students or fewer because we believe students succeed in an intimate learning environment where they feel known and supported. Our curriculum also satisfies the University’s General Education requirements. Courses are taught by dedicated and involved faculty. Instead of taking courses in a large lecture hall, our students walk into a community. Our Mission The mission and vision of the Delta College is to model and illuminate new possibilities for higher education. We achieve this through: - Attracting visionary and motivated students and faculty - Engaging our students in a creative and nurturing community - Equipping them for the challenges of contemporary society - Propelling them into society as agents of positive change.

Professional Development Courses The Delta curriculum includes three professional development courses that provide students with a competitive edge because they begin developing their professional skills early in their academic careers. These courses provide students with the tools needed to enter and thrive in today’s job market. Some of the topics covered include: - Writing résumés - Writing cover letters - Interviewing skills - Oral presentations (speeches) - Networking - Negotiation skills - Ethical dilemmas Our students have vocalized an interest in preparing for life after university. They’re interested in learning how to budget, establish credit, obtain a mortgage, and plan for retirement. We listened to their request and incorporated a financial literacy unit into our curriculum. Internships The professional development courses are designed to compliment the student’s internship experience. Each course is designed to help prepare students with the skills they need to obtain and excel while at their internship while establishing a professional network. With the help of faculty mentors, students network within their communities and job market to find internships and field placements. These experiences help students explore potential career options and provide valuable insight on their career path. Many students have jump started their careers through a Delta internship.

The Delta Curriculum The Delta curriculum not only meets all SUNY Brockport general education requirements/learning objectives, it does so in a coherent and sequential fashion. Delta College is fundamentally interdisciplinary and we are always seeking to bring a multitude of perspectives to bear on a particular topic. Our faculty, staff, and students come from an array of disciplines. For example, three students majoring in history, a geology, and anthropology covered the topic of how social media impacts the development of communities in the modern world. Students gathered information from various sources to present their own take on the topic. These exchanges challenge both faculty and students to grapple with the diverse and interesting topics and make conclusions with a broader range of shared knowledge. Delta Courses Students who are already taking science classes for their major may waive the science courses from their curriculum.

The credits fulfilled through these experiences can count towards the Delta experiential learning requirements. - DCC 235: Experiential Learning Practicum I - DCC 355: Experiential Learning Practicum II - DCC 420: Delta Capstone Explanation of Experiential Learning Early Registration Delta students complete their Delta and major requirements simultaneously. The Delta curriculum is sequential in nature and therefore requires students to have flexibility in scheduling their major courses. For this reason, Delta students have the privilege of registering for their courses on the first day. This allows them to select the courses, instructors, and class sections they need and prefer.

The Department of the Earth Sciences has been calling Lennon Hall home for more than 30 years. Part of the Smith-Lennon Science Center, Earth Sciences shares Lennon Hall with the departments of Biological Science and Environmental Science & Biology. Chemistry and Physics share space in Smith Hall. Two major renovations of Lennon Hall allowed for new state-of-the-art digital classrooms, a “learning theater” computer classroom that houses 20 SUNY workstations, and upgraded laboratory facilities that expand the practical experiences and research opportunities for our undergraduate majors. Weather Observation Cube Provides a view of storm systems building from the west and north while simultaneously providing access to real-time radar and satellite images on several observation stations. Weather Briefing Room Theater style classroom with 20 top-of-the-line SUN Ultra systems. Ionchromatograph The ionchromatograph uses ion chromatography to separate ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to the ion exchanger. This is especially useful for water chemistry analysis due to the ability to measure the concentration of specific anions found in the samples.

Undergraduate research is an important part of all programs. Gaining practical experience in applying knowledge to solve problems is becoming an expectation of employers and graduate schools, alike. About Field Experience Undergraduate research has been a part of our programs for over 25 years, and it’s easier to get involved than you think. Faculty in the department work on a wide variety of research projects that you can participate in. You also have the option to work with a professor to design a study that interests you. In many cases, students will take the results of their projects to regional and national professional conferences to present. Recent Field Experience Projects Reilly Blocho (Geology ’19) is investigating variations in the geochemistry of black shales across New York. He started the work during the summer of 2017 as part of the University’s Summer Undergraduate Research Program which provides a summer salary and free on-campus housing over the summer. Reilly presented at the Geological Society of America annual meeting which was in Seattle in October 2017. Eliza Crane (Water Resources ’20) began working on a project investigating the chemistry of phosphorus in suspended sediment of the Irondequoit Creek watershed in the summer of 2018. This watershed is the primary source of sediment to Irondequoit Bay which is the largest embayment on the south coast of Lake Ontario, and has historic issues with eutrophication. Results will be presented at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in the fall of 2018. Molly Bartley (Meteorology ’20) is working this summer on a project to study thunderstorms crossing the Hudson River Valley as part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Program. This region sees more severe weather than perhaps any portion of the Northeast U.S., and Molly is investigating how the local topography may play a role in this anomaly. She will be presenting her work at the Northeast Storm Conference in March, 2019.

About the International Field Experience The Department offers an annual international trip where students are able to enjoy time abroad while studying the multiple fields of Earth Sciences. Typically the trip is held in Puerto Rico near the El Yunque National Forest. The trip usually takes place over the winter semester and is available to all Earth Sciences students, but seating is limited so be sure to reserve your spot early! Puerto Rico and El Yunque National Forest The eastern end of Puerto Rico is dominated by El Yunque National Forest. A mountainous area and the only tropical rainforest in the National Forest system. This area has been documented as having one of the fastest weathering rates in the world. As you travel west, total annual precipitation decreases from approximately 170 inches per year at El Yunque to 58 inches per year only 25 miles away in Patillas. The natural climate gradient with watersheds draining the same bedrock creates a unique natural laboratory to study the effects of climate on weathering and elemental cycling. Additionally, the impact of Hurricane Maria, which made landfall in this region of the island, adds on the chance to study the rebound of the system after a once in a century event.

Brockport Geology at AGU 2021 Five Geology undergraduate students and two geology faculty (Dr. Kobayashi and Dr. Kar) attended the Americal Geophysical Union Fall Conference at New Orleans from December 13th to 17th. All five students presented posters of their research and the opportunity to receive feedback on their research from the wider geology community. The conference also allowed them to interact with professionals from different fields and explore job prospects. Student presntors at AGU (clockwise from left): Jennifer Setaro (Gel’22), Alysha Zazubec (Gel’23) and Maggie Williams (Gel’22), Nicole Zhe (Gel’22) and Christiana DeLuca (Gel’23) Northeastern Storm Conference, 2022 Two Meteorology faculty, Dr. Scott Rochette and Dr. Casey Griffin are attending the Northeastern Storm Conference with four students, Angel Lopez, Ashley Stanley, Louis Sullivan, and Patricia Hutton. The conference is taking place in Burlington, Vermont on 11-13 March. AAPG Eastern Section, Fall 2021 Geology faculty Dr. Kar presented a poster tittled “Organic source characterization of the Utica, Marcellus and Burkett shales.” Student Research Alysha Zazubec (GEL’23) Alysha started analyzing samples in summer 2021 to understand the depositional condition of the Eastern Himalayan Siwalik basins. She is using organic proxies from these samples to reconstruct the past vegetation assemblage. The goal is to address a debate on how this area looked like ~10 million years ago - a marginal marine setting or a terrestrial setting. Christiana DeLuca (GEL’23) Christiana DeLuca spent the summer of 2021 evaluating the influence of precipitation gradients on weathering of granodiorites in eastern Puerto Rico with Dr. Noll. Although covid prevented planned field work to collect more samples, she was able to use existing data to complete her research. The investigation looked at a natural precipitation gradient from the eastern tip and the rainforest region of El Yunque to drier climates near Patillas with the goal of assessing how silicate bedrock weathers under different climate regimes. She is preparing a journal article summrizing her results. Visiting Researcher Pankaj Kaushik, a PhD student at Griffiths University in Brisbane, Australia, spent the fall semester working with Dr. Noll, a member of his research committee. The research is focused on using remote sensing to analyze variations in groundwater resources, and artesian spring fed wetlands. In addition to his research, Pankaj led a short course for students in the department on Google Earth Engine, a remote sensing data analysis platform, and took some time for recreational activities with the earth science club on the Erie Canal. He also accompanied the Brockport contingent to New Orleans to present his research at the American Geophysical Union meeting. Brockport is not new to Pankaj, having spent 6 months here a few years ago while working on his masters thesis at Kurekshetra University in Haryana, India. Field Experiences Geology Field Camp 2021 Two geology seniors, Nate Henry and Jennifer Setaro, participated in Geology Field Camp in Western Montana in Summer 2021. Geology Field Camp is the capstone course in geology programs. Our field camp visits Western U.S. including Yellowstone and Craters of the Moon National Monument to observe, study, and enjoy exciting geology. Students in the Sedimentology course participated in two field trips in Fall 2021. They looked at locations around Brockport and Letchworth State Park to reconstruct how this area looked like 400 million years ago. Virtual seminars The department hosted two virtual seminars during the 2021-2022 academic year. Dr. Camila Martinez from the Universidad EAFIT gave a talk on November 5th, 2021, titled “Paleoclimatic and Paleoaltitudinal Inferences Based On the Neotropical Plant Fossil Record.” She described three Cenozoic paleofloras from Tropical America, and these could be used for quantitative paleoclimatic and paleoelevation analyses. These analyses indicate dramatic ecosystem, climate, and landscape changes in the last 5 million years in the Central Andes. Dr. Kobayashi Gave an Invited Talk at the Temple University Dr. Daisuke Kobayashi gave an invited virtual talk at the Temple University on October 8th titled “The relation of Hotspots, Seismic Parabolas, and Precambrian Transform Faults in the Northern Rocky Mountain: The Bozeman Anomaly”. Paleoclimate Meeting To discuss potential collaboration and resource sharing, Dr. Nandini Kar organized a virtual meeting of the local paleoclimatologists on March 12th and March 19th, 2021. . Participants included Dr. Catherine Beck (Hamilton College), Dr. Tripti Bhattacharya (Syracuse University), Dr. Jason Briner and Dr. Elizabeth Thomas (SUNY Buffalo), Dr. Molly Patterson and Dr. Adriane Lam (SUNY Binghamton), Dr. Gregory Henkes (SUNY Stonybrook), Dr. Page C Quinton (SUNY Potsdam), Dr. Nandini Kar, Dr. Rick Smith and Dr. Stella Woodard (SUNY Brockport).. Recent Alumni Stories Sam Cherubin (MET’21) I started working at NYS Mesonet as a Field Technician in August 2021. I maintain roughly 40 weather stations across western New York. I moved to Rochester from Saratoga Springs in October to begin working “remote” with the Mesonet, since they are based out of UAlbany. My work consists of driving to sites in my work truck and repairing faulty sensors, performing general maintenance like cleaning sensors, cutting grass, and destroying beehives and hornets’ nests. Since many sites are located in the middle of grassy fields (to meet WMO standards), one must drive on 4WD roads or farmers’ access roads. Sometimes, there are no roads, and one has to walk/snowshoe into the site. The job does get dirty and muddy, and you work all year round but get to see beautiful parts of New York. But for me, I love every minute of it, and it’s an incredible experience to be a part of a world-class weather network. Camille Ward (Earth Sc’21) My path to becoming a teacher was not always an easy one. I started at SUNY Brockport as a transfer student in 2018. I entered as a sophomore with Adolescent Education in Earth Science as my end goal. I worked two part-time jobs to support me while attending community college before joining SUNY Brockport. My then-fiance was the one who encouraged me to continue and get my bachelor’s degree. Between planning a wedding and starting at a new college, my first semester was busy. While attending SUNY Brockport, I had many opportunities and experiences that encouraged me to push forward. I participated in a trip to Puerto Rico for field research with Dr.Noll. I participated in multiple local field trips that let me explore regional geology. I also had multiple school placements that allowed me to witness teaching first-hand. While in my second-to-last semester, my husband and I found out we were expecting a child in 2020. This minor speed-bump in my journey meant taking a semester off; however, I returned and finished my degree while working and caring for our son. The hard work and dedication that I had to put forth to meet my goals were worth it in the end. I had some great people that helped me along the way: my husband Tyler, Dr. Noll, Dr. Kar, and my family. After completing my student teaching at Pavilion Central School, I secured a position there. I now teach 7th-grade science at my hometown school, which I graduated from, and I am happy to say that it has been a great experience! Reilly M. Blocho (GEL’19) Recently I was hired by ConocoPhillips as a graduate geophysicist. My employment stemmed from my internship with ConocoPhillips Exploration in Alaska. I started at Brockport with a vague idea that I “wanted to work in oil and gas.” I discussed my goal of pursuing a career in petroleum with my professors. While petroleum geology is not taught at Brockport, the Earth Sciences department does a great job of providing students a solid foundation in geology, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and collaboration with other students. These values can be applied to any job in geosciences. I was accepted into multiple highly ranked geoscience Master’s schools. I chose New Mexico Tech because their department felt very similar to Brockport, and this past February, I earned my master’s degree in geophysics. The resources at New Mexico Tech allowed me to hone my knowledge of geophysics and introduced me to petroleum geology. The AAPG club at NMT also sends club members to interview and interact with representatives of multiple oil companies. I took advantage of this and joined the AAPG club to interview and network with oil company recruiters. A big talking point in every interview I had was my senior research at Brockport on the Marcellus Shale. Companies appreciated my initiative and the fact that even though there is no oil and gas industry in New York, I was able to gain research experience on a topic important to the industry. After interviewing and networking with multiple companies, I was offered (and accepted) an internship with ConocoPhillips in 2020, which I did last summer after it was delayed a year because of the pandemic. For my internship, I developed an automated methodology for extracting geometrical relationships of clinoforms and their relationships using python and petrel to use those relationships as a predictive tool for exploration. Now I am preparing to begin my new position as a graduate geophysicist at ConocoPhillips in Midland, Texas. I credit a lot of my success at ConocoPhillips to my time at SUNY Brockport and the faculty in the Earth Science department. For future students, I would recommend that they get involved with faculty research, network/build relationships with people, and ask lots of questions.

The Earth Sciences’ faculty is continuously working to engage students through shared fieldwork and research, assisting with internships, and supporting them as they present their research at national conferences. “Now I am preparing to begin my new position as a graduate geophysicist at ConocoPhillips in Midland, Texas. I credit a lot of my success at ConocoPhillips to my time at SUNY Brockport and the faculty in the Earth Science department.” — Reilly M. Blocho (GEL’19) Read this story and more in our Spring 2022 newsletter “Over the summer, I spent nine weeks researching foliage influences on diurnal temperatures in forest microclimates at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. We went out to collect data from field and forest weather stations, while also analyzing years of previously collected data.” —Adrianna Kremer MET ’20 Summer Research Projects “Having the opportunity to present at GSA was a valuable experience that was a lot of fun. I enjoyed being able to talk to a number of people who were interested in my research which allowed me to create connections as well as talk to representatives of graduate schools that I plan on going to after Brockport.” —Reilly Blocho, GEO ’19 Summer Research Projects “Since I am planning to go to graduate school next year, the AMS conference was a great opportunity. In addition to presenting my poster on my undergraduate research, I was able to attend many talks which brought me up to date on the current state of the science, and I was invited to receptions to a couple of the graduate schools I am considering.” — Amanda Burke, MET ’17 AMS Conference “During the summer of 2015, I participated in the Institute of Engaged Learning Summer Research Program at SUNY Brockport. My project examined the potential influence of climate change on discharge in streams in the northeastern U.S.” —Grant Barney, MET ’16 Summer Research Project “Nine of our [geology] undergraduates presented posters on their research at the Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America (GSA) in Vancouver, BC, October 19-22, 2014.” —GSA Annual Meeting “I spent ten weeks at Penn State working with Dr. Jose Fuentes. We studied the downward ozone transport in thunderstorms near Manaus, Brazil to better understand how ozone is redistributed throughout the troposphere. This research may one day help with more accurate numerical models to predict climate change….The research and networking experience was priceless.” —Randy Chase, MET ’16 Pennsylvania State University’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program, Summer 2014 “…we got a personal tour [of the National Weather Service office] by some of the NWS staff…we visited the AccuWeather station, an eye opening experience showing the private industry side of meteorology…finally we visited the meteorology department at Penn State University and learned about their graduate program and internships available for undergraduates from universities like Brockport through the REU Program.” —NWA Brockport Student Chapter Club Trip to State College, PA “This summer I spent six weeks in Wyoming digging up dinosaurs! The quarries I worked in contained the bones of sauropods, huge long-necked, long-tailed, plant-eating dinosaurs. I helped create quarry maps, measuring orientations, lengths, and widths of bones exposed in the quarry, and found some bones myself.” —Sarah Travaly, GEL ’14 Wyoming Dinosaur Dig, Internship “[I was invited to participate in a] summer work opportunity with Dr. Richards…which involved studying the hydrologic impact of agricultural field abandonment…I had a lot of fun and I know that the skills and knowledge I gained will be invaluable when applying for jobs/graduate school.” —Chris Walden, WTR ’13 Summer Research Project

https://www2.brockport.edu/academics/education-human-development/childhood-education-masters/licensing-disclosure/

MSEd Childhood Education Program New York State ensures a robust and high-quality population of licensed and certified professionals. In order to protect NYS residents’ who would be the recipients of services from these professionals, each license and certificate has requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. Academic programs leading to licensure or certification within SUNY schools are carefully designed to meet and exceed NYS requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states frequently have their own requirements, so if your goal is to practice in another state, you must check with that state’s licensing and certification requirements. Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.43 (2019 Rule), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 21.1, SUNY Brockport provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure/certification. 1,2 1 The terms related to certification of teachers may vary by state and your state may use different terms. 2 This determination is based on the educational and curricular requirements of each state for certification (i.e., excluding any special, temporary certification that may be granted) and does not imply that other requirements for certification do not exist or have been determined to have been met by this program. This disclosure is strictly limited to SUNY Brockport and its determination of whether its MSEd Childhood Education program, if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet teaching certification requirements in NYS. SUNY Brockport cannot provide verification of an individual’s ability to meet certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming. Unrelated requirements include, but are not limited to: - Certification examinations - Fingerprinting clearance - Verification of citizenship - Submission of certification application(s) Acceptability of the aforementioned requirements are determined by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), and are fact-specific determinations. This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state certification entity will approve or deny your application.

The other two seminars are scheduled during the semester the student is undertaking the Practicum. The three product review sessions are scheduled throughout the semester the student is registered for the Practicum in order for each student to review one-on-one with the University supervisor their progress with the competencies they have targeted for completion from the Field Experience Rating Document. The seminars are scheduled for three hours on a weekday evening, and the product review sessions are approximately 45 minutes to an hour per student. EDA 888 Administrative Internship The purpose of the internship is to: - Assume the role of a school administrator; - Strengthen leadership skills; - Complete relevant leadership tasks to demonstrate competence and proficiency; - Demonstrate readiness for employment as a school administrator; - Refine job-seeking skills. The internship is a field experience during which the student is expected to demonstrate proficiency in the remaining skills and tasks, as well as behaviors and attitudes, found on the Field Experience Rating Document.

MSEd Educational Administration Program New York State ensures a robust and high-quality population of licensed and certified professionals. In order to protect NYS residents’ who would be the recipients of services from these professionals, each license and certificate has requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. Academic programs leading to licensure or certification within SUNY schools are carefully designed to meet and exceed NYS requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states frequently have their own requirements, so if your goal is to practice in another state, you must check with that state’s licensing and certification requirements. Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.43 (2019 Rule), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 21.1, SUNY Brockport provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure/certification. 1,2 1 The terms related to certification of teachers may vary by state and your state may use different terms. 2 This determination is based on the educational and curricular requirements of each state for certification (i.e., excluding any special, temporary certification that may be granted) and does not imply that other requirements for certification do not exist or have been determined to have been met by this program. This disclosure is strictly limited to SUNY Brockport and its determination of whether its MSEd Educational Administration program, if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet teaching certification requirements in NYS. SUNY Brockport cannot provide verification of an individual’s ability to meet certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming. Unrelated requirements include, but are not limited to: - Certification examinations - Fingerprinting clearance - Verification of citizenship - Submission of certification application(s) Acceptability of the aforementioned requirements are determined by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), and are fact-specific determinations. This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state certification entity will approve or deny your application. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for certification and occur after this disclosure has been made. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their respective State’s licensure entity using the links provided to review all certification and licensure requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice.

The EOP Program at SUNY Brockport is committed to assisting students who wish to continue their education beyond the undergraduate level. Society History Founded at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Chi Alpha Epsilon was organized in 1989. Responding to an increased need to acknowledge the continuing successes of students in the Academic Development Program and recognizing that students who share similar experiences could serve as significant models for others, a Greek letter honor society was proposed by Dr. Elbert Saddler. A university psychologist and counseling coordinator for the ACT 101 Program, Dr. Saddler identified eligible students and alumni to form the nucleus who are now the Founding members of XAE. Directors of Student Support Services, McNair Scholars,Educational Opportunity Programs, and developmental programs at many colleges and universities have hailed its formation. The National Association for Developmental Education (NADE) has officially endorsed Chi Alpha Epsilon as an honor society for developmental education students. The Council for Opportunity in Education is also encouraging participation. Chi Alpha Epsilon was formed to recognize the academic achievements of students admitted to colleges and the universities through non-traditional criteria and serves developmental, SSS, McNair Scholars, and Educational Opportunity Program students. Its purposes are to promote continued high academic standards, to foster increased communication among its members, and to honor academic excellence achieved by those students. The involvement of eligible alumni enables networking for members. Programs sponsored by the society encourage other students toward this accomplishment. The honor society also has the potential to be a significant political force in the support of funding for developmental studies and educational opportunity programs nationwide. Chapter History On Friday, November 7, 2008, the Epsilon Rho Chapter of Chi Alpha Epsilon was chartered. That was the beginning of a long relationship between, SUNY Brockport, our students, faculty, administration, alumni, and our society. Charter Members are a recorded part of the history of our Society and our institution. We edify them by reciting their names at each induction. Charter Members of Epsilon Rho Chapter are: - Honorable Eleanor M. Arguinzoni - Honorable Daniel B. Askey - Honorable Vanessa B. Babb - Honorable Robert J. Bradtke - Honorable Amber L. Busch - Honorable Bomie Cooper - Honorable Yanisvel Cordero - Honorable Danny L. Cordova - Honorable Latasha S. Craig - Honorable Arlene A. Cudjoe - Honorable Felicia L. Davis - Honorable Tierra D.

Watson - Honorable Rod Wilson - Chartering Advisor: Honorable Sophea So The Spring 2019 Induction Ceremony On Thursday April 22, 2019, the Chi Alpha Epsilon National Honor Society, Epsilon Rho Chapter and the Arthur O. Eve Opportunity Program at SUNY Brockport inducted 19 new members. The inductees also participated in a private induction ceremony earlier that day. With over 30 guests in attendance, Honorable Gary Owens, Director of EOP welcomed the crowd with words of encouragement. Later in the program, Honorable Gary Owens and XAE Co-Advisor Lisa Jones assisted Dr. Eileen Daniel with the pinning ceremony. The pin not only represents EOP student’s hard work, dedication, and drive for academic success but also has meaning behind each component of the emblem. The Ivy stands for growth, the book for knowledge, the quill for creativity, Chi for center, Alpha for academics, epsilon for excellence, blue for philosophy and white for arts. Each inductee asked an individual to pin them who has helped them to continue up their ladder of success. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the EOP office at 585-395-2547 or eop@brockport.edu. Acknowledgements EOP and the Epsilon Rho Chapter of XAE National Honor Society would like to thank the EOP staff, especially XAE Co-Advisor Da’Neille Kruger and Lisa Jones for their assistance in making this event a success. Special thanks to President Heidi MacPherson, Dr. Kathryn Wilson and BASC for your continued support.

About the Summer Undergraduate Research Program The Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) is an opportunity for students to fully engage in a hands-on educational experience of scholarship, research, and creative activity with a faculty mentor. Through the generosity of the Brockport Foundation, the University sponsors student work with faculty on the mentor’s research for up to eight weeks during the summer. (As part of the program, on-campus housing and a stipend for full or part time effort for up to eight weeks is available.) To get started the student should identify a faculty mentor and ask if they can participate in their work, and if they are willing to act as a mentor. The mentor will discuss the project and how the student will participate. If a decision is made to move forward then an application is co-written; one part by the student and one part by the mentor. The mentor should help the student with writing the application. A committee of faculty reviews and ranks applications. Students are interviewed as a part of the application process. SURP fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. Student researchers and faculty mentors are required to attend the SURP orientation session. Students are encouraged to complete weekly reflective journals during research and if on-campus to present their research at a mid-summer luncheon, a Fall Poster Gallery, as well as Scholars Day in the following spring semester. A weekly workshop series focused on developing professional skills is also provided for students. SURP 2023 Application Process: Student Application: This should be written by the student applicant in the student’s words, and should involve a collaboration effort between the student and faculty mentor. Mentor Recommendation: A link to this form will be emailed to a student’s identified faculty mentor once the student application is submitted. This should be written and submitted by the faculty mentor. Interview: A 20 minute face to face interview for every applicant is required. During this interview students will be asked about the project and the potential impact this experience will have on their future goals. Orientation Meeting: Once selected for the program, student interns and faculty mentors will attend a one-hour mandatory meeting scheduled before the semester ends. Important details will be shared at each meeting. Research Fellowships With gratitude for the generosity of our donors, we are pleased to offer the following fellowships: James and Carol ’94 Haynes Research Scholars Fund This fund supports an annual summer undergraduate research award to a student in Environmental Science & Ecology with a minimum 3.0 GPA overall and in the major courses. A $3200 stipend will be presented for 8-weeks participation in summer research. Students are required to work on a project in support of, and mentored by, an Environmental Science and/or Biology Brockport faculty member. Research results must be presented at The SURP Fall Research Symposium and at least one external research conference. Donald Nelson-Nasca Research Scholars Fund This fund supports an annual summer undergraduate research award to a Brockport student with a 3.0 GPA overall and in the major courses.

This fund was established by Donald to recognize outstanding students at the University who have demonstrated commitment and potential for excellence in scientific research.
