In accordance with the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, the following Exposure Control Plan has been developed to document measures used to protect Brockport Athletic Training employees/students from the health hazards associated with occupational exposure to pathogenic organisms present in blood or other bodily fluids. Exposure Determination OSHA requires employers to perform an exposure determination concerning which students/employees may incur occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard applies to employees/students with occupational exposure to human blood, blood products and other potentially infectious materials. Under the standard, occupational exposure is defined as reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or OPIM that results in the performance of an employee’s duties. According to the OSHA standard, blood and OPIMs include: - Human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood; - The following human body fluids: semen; vaginal secretions; cerebrospinal fluid; synovial fluid; pleural fluid; pericardial fluid; peritoneal fluid; amniotic fluid; saliva in dental procedures; any body fluid that is visibly contaminated with blood; all body fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluids; - Any unfixed tissue or organ (other than intact skin) from a human, living or dead; and - Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-containing cell or tissue cultures, organ cultures, and HIV- or hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-containing culture medium or other solutions; and blood, organs, or other tissues from experimental animals infected with HIV or HBV. The exposure determination is made without regard to frequency of exposure or the use of personal protective equipment (i.e., employees are considered to be exposed even if they wear personal protective equipment). This exposure determination affects all full-time athletic trainers on staff and athletic training students at SUNY Brockport working directly with SUNY Brockport athletes or athletes participating on the University campus as part of a program sponsored by or hosted by SUNY Brockport. This also covers athletic training students who are completing a required clinical experience at an off-campus affiliated clinical site. The job classifications and associated tasks for these categories are as follows: - Athletic Training Staff members will be expected to provide emergency treatment for life-threatening emergencies, including administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and controlling bleeding occurring due to participation in athletics. Also, the staff member may be involved in assisting the team physician with suturing, draining blisters, applying band-aids, or shaving calluses. - Athletic Training Students will often be required to perform the same tasks when the situation requires. Implementation Schedule and Methodology OSHA also requires that this plan include a schedule and method of implementation for the various requirements of the standard. The following complies with this requirement: Implementation Methods Universal Precautions will be observed at this facility in order to prevent contact with blood, blood products, or other potentially infectious materials. All blood, blood product, or other potentially infectious material will be treated as if known to be infectious regardless of the perceived status of the source or source individual. Engineering and work practice controls will be used to eliminate or minimize exposure to employees at this facility. Where occupational exposure remains after institution of these controls, personal protective equipment shall also be used. (All staff and athletic training students will use personal protective equipment in dealing with any potentially infectious material). At this facility, sharps containers, waste disposable bags, and clearly marked biohazardous waste containers will be used as engineering controls. The above controls will be examined and maintained on a regular basis, with attention given to the contents of the engineering controls to insure removal once the containers reach ½ to ¾ of capacity. Hand washing facilities are also available to the employees who incur exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. OSHA requires that these facilities be readily accessible after incurring exposure. At this facility there are two-hand washing facilities located in the athletic training clinic, in each athletic locker room and in each of the public restrooms. As an alternative a personal antimicrobial wipe is stored in each athletic training student’s fanny pack, or athletic training kit on the site. If this alternate method is used, the hands are to be washed with soap and running water as soon as feasible following an exposure. After proper removal and disposal of personal protective gloves or other personal protective equipment, staff and athletic training student shall wash their hands or any other potentially contaminated skin area immediately or as soon as feasible with soap and water. If staff and athletic training student incur exposure to their skin or mucous membranes, then those areas shall be washed or flushed with water as appropriated or as soon as feasible following contact. Needles and Sharps Handling Practices Contaminated needles and other contaminated sharps objects will not be bent, recapped, removed, sheared, or purposely broken. Following usage needles or other contaminated sharps objects will be disposed of in a clearly marked biohazardous, sharps container. OSHA allows for one exception to the rule governing the disposal of needles, if the procedure requires that the contaminated needle be recapped or removed and no alternative is feasible, and the action is required by the medical procedure. If such an action is required, then the recapping or removal of the needle must be done by the use of a mechanical device or a one handed technique. Shearing or breaking of used needles is prohibited at Brockport. Any broken glass involved in an accident and visible contaminated with blood will be handled as a contaminated sharp. At this facility, recapping or removal is only permitted while assisting the team physician in a procedure necessitating this act. Containers for Reusable Sharps Contaminated sharps that are not reusable are to be placed immediately, or as soon as possible after use, into appropriated sharps containers. At this facility, the sharps containers are puncture resistant, closable, labeled with a biohazard label, and are leak-proof. The sharps container is located in the office of the Head Athletic Trainer. Work Area Restrictions In work areas where there is a reasonable likelihood of exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, staff and athletic training students are not to eat, drink, apply cosmetics or lip balm, smoke, or handle contact lenses. Food and beverages are not to be kept or placed on treatment tables, taping tables or countertops when blood or other potentially infectious materials are likely to be present. All procedures will be conducted in a manner that will minimize splashing, spraying, splattering, and generation of droplets of blood or other potentially infectious materials. Specimens Specimens of blood or other potentially infectious materials, such as urine, will be placed in a container that prevents leakage during the collection, handling, processing, storage, and transport of the specimens. The container used for this purpose will be labeled or color-coded in accordance with the requirements of OSHA standards. It should be noted that this standard provides exemption for specimens from the labeling/color coding requirements of the standard, provided the facility uses Universal Precautions in the handling of all specimens and the containers are recognizable as container specimens. This exemption only applies while the specimens remain in the facility. If outside contamination of the primary container occurs, the primary container shall be placed within a secondary container that prevents leakage during the handling, processing, storage, transport, and/or shipping of the specimen. Contaminated Equipment Equipment that has become contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious materials shall be examined before servicing or shipping and shall be decontaminated as necessary unless the decontamination of the equipment is not feasible. Personal Protective Equipment All personal protective equipment used at the facility will be provided without cost to the staff and athletic training students. Personal protective equipment will be chosen based on the anticipated exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. The protective equipment will be considered appropriate only if it does not permit blood or other potentially infectious materials to pass through or reach a staff or students’ clothing, skin, eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes under normal conditions of use and for the duration of time that the protective equipment will be used. The protective equipment necessary for the athletic training room primarily consists of vinyl gloves. These gloves will be stored on the counter in all athletic training rooms, in all the athletic training kits, the first aid shelves in the taping tables, and in individual fanny packs used by the staff and athletic training students. There is also other protective equipment made available to everyone at no cost to the staff, and students. They are listed below: Personal Protective Equipment - One-way Pocket masks - Examination Gloves - Protective eyewear - Face shield - Protective Gowns All personal protective equipment will be cleaned, laundered, and disposed of by the University at no cost to the staff and students. The University, at no cost to the staff and students, will make all repairs and replacements. All garments that are penetrated by blood shall be removed immediately or as soon as feasible. All personal protective equipment will be removed before leaving the work area. Gloves shall be worn where it is reasonably anticipated that staff and athletic training students will have hand contact with blood, other potentially infectious materials, non-intact skin, and mucous membranes. Gloves will be used for the following procedures: - Applying bandages - Applying wound closures - Draining blisters - Shaving calluses - Cleaning open wounds - Handling urine specimens - Cleaning evaluation tables - Cleaning spills of potentially infected materials - Evaluating oral/dental injuries or conditions - Applying direct pressure to open wounds - Handling/changing wound dressings Disposable gloves used at the facility are not to be washed or decontaminated for re-use. They are to be replaced as soon as practical when they become contaminated or as soon as feasible when or if they are torn, punctured, or when their ability to function as a barrier is compromised. The facility will be cleaned and decontaminated daily when used by athletes. Decontamination will also take place after any blood or other potentially infectious material has been exposed in the athletic training room. These decontamination products are stored in or on the first aid cabinets of the training rooms. Regulated Waste Disposal All contaminated sharps shall be discarded as soon as feasible in sharps containers located in the facility. Sharps containers are located in all athletic training rooms. Regulated waste other than sharps shall be placed in appropriate containers with color-coded waste bags. Such containers are located in the Athletic Training Rooms. Laundry Procedures Laundry contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious materials will be handled as little as possible. Such laundry will be placed in appropriately marked bags where it is used. This laundry will not be sorted or rinsed in the area of use. It will then be removed by the individual responsible for laundry using personal protective equipment, and washed separately in bleach. All staff that handles contaminated laundry will use personal protective equipment to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Communication of Hazards Hazards related to bloodborne pathogens are communicated through warning labels, as well as through training for employees/students with occupational exposure. Warning labels are required on containers of regulated medical waste, refrigerators and freezers containing blood or other potentially infectious material, and other containers used to store, transport, or ship blood or OPIM. The labels include the biohazard symbol and the word “biohazard”. Red bags or red containers may be substituted for labels. HIV/HBV Exposure Post-Exposure and Follow-up When a staff member or athletic training student incurs an exposure incident, it should be reported to the Program Director, Clinical Education Coordinator and/or Preceptor. The student health center or local hospital will evaluate the individual. In the event that a student incurs an exposure incident at an off-campus affiliated site, that student should report to the nearest Emergency Department or their Primary Care Physician. All individuals who incur an exposure will be offered post “exposure evaluation and follow-up” in accordance with OSHA standard. The follow-up will include the following: - Written documentation of the route of exposure and the circumstances related to the incident as soon as feasible following exposure. This is to be returned to the Program Director or Clinical Education Coordinator. - For puncture injuries or cuts from sharps, expose, express (encourage bleeding if the wound is small) and thoroughly wash the wound area with soap and water for 15 minutes. If soap and water are not available, then an antiseptic (solution, wipe, spray) should be used. - Wash any area exposed to blood or OPIM with tepid water and soap for at least 5 minutes. Alcohol-based hand rinses, gels, foams (containing 60+% alcohol) should be used on intact skin when water is not available. - If splashes are to the eyes, irrigate eyes with clean water or commercially available eyewash solution for 15 minutes. - If possible, the identification of the source individual and if possible the status of the source individual. The blood of the source individual will be tested after consent is obtained for HIV/HBV infection. - Results of testing of the source individual will be made available to the exposed staff or athletic training student with the exposed individual informed about the applicable laws and regulations concerning disclosure of the identity and infection of the source individual. - The individual will be offered the option of having their blood collected for testing of the individuals HIV/HBV serological status. - The Program Director will be designated to assure that the policy outlined above is effectively carried out as well as to maintain records related to this policy. Once these procedures have been completed, an appointment with a qualified healthcare professional is arranged for the exposed student to discuss the student’s medical status. This includes an evaluation of any reported illness, as well as any recommended treatment. Training Training for all staff and athletic training students will be conducted annually and before initial assignment to tasks where occupational exposure may occur. Training for staff and students will include the following: - The OSHA Standard for Bloodborne Pathogens. - Epidemiology and symptomatology of bloodborne disease. - Modes of transmission of bloodborne pathogens. - The exposure plan (i.e. points of the plan, lines of responsibility, how the plan will be implemented, etc.) - Procedures that might cause exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material at this facility. - Control methods to be used at the facility to control exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. - Personal protective equipment available at this facility. - Who should be contacted concerning exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material? - Post-exposure evaluation and follow-up. - Signs and labels used at the facility. Record Keeping The Athletic Training Program Director will maintain all records required by the OSHA standard. The athletic training faculty/preceptors will be responsible for conducting the training to the athletic trainer students during orientation. All staff and students will receive annual refresher training within one year of the individual’s previous training. The OSHA Standard for Bloodborne Pathogens and the outline for the training material will be kept in the office of the Program Director and in the policies and procedure manual.

Program Requirements The MS in Athletic Training program requires that all students in the professional program complete four semesters of clinical experience under the supervision of an approved program preceptor. Clinical Experience in Athletic Training Students are supervised by Certified Athletic Trainer’s (preceptors) and by the team physician. Students acquire their clinical experiences through PES 541, PES 545, PES 636 and PES 637 Clinical Experience in Athletic Training I-IV. These clinical experience courses are completed over a period of four consecutive semesters after acceptance into the professional MS program. Students will typically complete one or two semesters of their clinical experience at one of our many off-campus affiliated sites during the second year. A clinical instruction fee (liability insurance) will be charged to each student enrolled in PES 541, 545, 636 and 637. Travel Expectations During the first two clinical experience courses (PES 541 and PES 545) students are typically assigned to work with preceptors in the Brockport Athletic Training facility. Students will be assigned to rotations in the athletic training clinic as well as cover Brockport team practices and games. The only travel typically required during PES 541 and PES 545 will be to local general medical rotations at the Strong West Emergency Department and Spencerport Urgent Care Clinic. These are one week rotations and are located within a few miles of the Brockport campus. Students are expected to provide their own travel to these clinical sites and are responsible for the costs associated with travel to these sites. During the second year of clinical experiences (PES 636 and PES 637) students will typically be completing their clinical experiences at off-campus affiliated sites within the Greater Rochester area. These may include local high schools, colleges/universities and sports medicine clinics. PES 636 requires approximately 30 hours/ week of clinical experience while PES 637 requires an immersive clinical experience of 40 hours/week. Students are expected to provide their own transportation to these off-campus clinical sites and are responsible for the costs associated with travel to these sites.

Program Retention Requirements To be retained in the MSAT program, students must: - Compliance with Brockport Graduate School Retention Policy: - Complete all required Athletic Training coursework (PES 604, 605 and NUR 521 must be a grade of “C” or better) with a grade of “B” or better - Complete required clinical experiences (four consecutive semesters) - All clinical integration proficiencies associated with each semester of clinical experiences must be completed in order to progress to the next clinical experience course - Complete required competencies and clinical integration proficiencies - Demonstrate on-going compliance with all technical standards and immunization requirements (see Athletic Training Web site) - Adhere to all policies and procedures outlined in the Athletic Training Handbook - Adhere to regulations governing the practice of Athletic Training in New York State (Article 162, Section 8350)(Appendix D) - Adhere to National Athletic Trainers’ Association Code of Ethics (Appendix E) - Maintain current certification in First Aid and CPR/AED. Failure to comply with the above criteria will result in dismissal from the Athletic Training Program. XI. Criminal Background Check Policy The MSAT program at SUNY Brockport is required to comply with the State University of New York (SUNY) Policy. This policy states that the State prohibits University-wide and individual SUNY campus admissions offices from inquiring into an applicant’s prior criminal history. After a candidate had been accepted as a student, campuses shall inquire if the student has previously been convicted of a felony if such student seeks campus housing or participation in clinical or field experiences, internships or study abroad programs. Admission of Persons with Prior Felony Convictions (SUNY) XII. Credit Hour Policy SUNY Brockport’s credit hour is adopted from SUNY policy. A semester credit hour is normally granted for satisfactory completion of one 50-minute session of classroom instruction per week for a semester of not less than fifteen weeks. This basic measure may be adjusted proportionately to reflect modified academic calendars and formats of study. Semester credit hours are granted for various types of instruction as follows: A. Lecture, seminar, quiz, discussion, recitation A semester credit hour is an academic unit earned for fifteen 50-minute sessions of classroom instruction with a normal expectation of two hours of outside study for each class session. B. Activity supervised as a group (laboratory, field trip, practicum, workshop, group studio) A semester credit hour is awarded for the equivalent of fifteen periods of such activity, where each activity period is 150 minutes or more in duration with little or no outside preparation expected. Forty-five 50-minute sessions of such activity would also normally earn one semester credit hour. Where such activity involves substantial outside preparation by the student, the equivalent of fifteen periods of 100 minutes duration each will earn one semester credit hour. C. Supervised individual activity (independent study, individual studio, tutorial) One credit for independent study (defined as study given initial guidance, criticism, review and final evaluation of student performance by a faculty member) will be awarded for the equivalent of forty-five 50-minute sessions of student academic activity. Credit for tutorial study (defined as study which is given initial faculty guidance followed by repeated, regularly scheduled individual student conferences with a faculty member, and periodic as well as final evaluation of student performance) will be awarded on the basis of one semester hour credit for each equivalent of fifteen contact hours of regularly scheduled instructional sessions. D. Full-time Independent Study (student teaching, practicum) If a student’s academic activity is essentially full-time (as in student teaching), one semester credit hour may be awarded for each week of work. E. Experiential Learning At its discretion, an institution may award credit hours for learning acquired outside the institution which is an integral part of a program of study. When life or work experience is to be credited as a concurrent portion of an academic program design, as in an internship, one semester credit hour will be awarded for each 40-45 clock-hour week of supervised academic activity that provides the learning considered necessary to program study. F. Credit by Examination At its discretion, an institution may award semester hour credits for mastery demonstrated through credit-by-examination. When such credit by examination is allowed, it may be used to satisfy degree requirements or to reduce the total number of remaining hours required for a degree and is treated as transfer credit. G. Short Sessions-Intensive Format Credit hours may be earned in short sessions (summer sessions, intersessions, etc.) proportionately to those earned for the same activity during a regular term of the institution. H . Online & Hybrid Courses Courses offered entirely online without any face-to-face class (F2F) sessions have the same learning outcomes, substantive components, and requirements of a standard lecture/seminar course with an alternate delivery method. Contact time is satisfied by several means which can include but is not limited to, the following: 1) regular instruction or interaction with a faculty member via email, phone, Collaborate, Skype, etc.; 2) academic engagement through interactive tutorials, group discussions moderated by faculty, virtual study/project groups, engaging with class peers and computer tutorials graded and reviewed by faculty. In all such instances, these courses must meet minimally the total amount of instructional and student work time as the examples of traditional instruction above, when delivered online asynchronously or synchronously. Courses offered in a hybrid format with one or more face to face class sessions and at least one or more online session, both containing direct interaction with a faculty member: Contact time is assessed using both on-site definitions (for the F2F portion) and online definitions as above the onsite definition. In all such instances, these courses must meet minimally the total amount of instructional and student work time as the traditional examples above. XIII. SUNY Brockport MSAT Clinical Credit Hour Policy SUNY Brockport does not have a formal policy regulating credit hours for courses that incorporate clinical experiences. The credit hours assigned for the clinical experience courses included within the MSAT program are similar in nature to the credit hours for clinical experience hours in the Nursing major at Brockport and are consistent with institutional practice. Each of the clinical experience courses (PES 541, 545, 636, 637) in the MSAT have a minimum number of clinical hours required for each semester. The table below details the hours associated with each clinical education course. *Denotes immersive clinical experience course XIV. MSAT Clinical Experience Information The clinical education portion of the academic program is completed through PES 541, PES 545, PES 636, and PES 637: Clinical Experience in Athletic Training I-IV. Generally, two semesters of the clinical experience will take place within the athletic program at SUNY Brockport and two semesters will take place at an off campus clinical site (i.e., hospital, clinic, high school, etc.). The clinical experience courses provide a logical progression of increasingly complex and autonomous patient-care and client-care experiences. During the clinical experience courses the students will be evaluated for fulfillment of the clinical integration proficiencies for athletic training. The four clinical experience courses are completed over a minimum of two academic years (not including summers) and include a minimum and maximum number of clock hours each semester (refer to table included in previous section). The level of skill necessary and responsibility given to each student progressively increases with each clinical experience. Depending on the clinical experience course, students should average will average 20 (PES 541/545), 30 (PES 636), or 40 (PES 637) clinical experience hours/week each semester. Athletic Training students should receive a minimum of one day off from their clinical experience assignments every seven days. In addition, students are not permitted to receive any monetary renumeration for their time during clinical experiences, excluding scholarships. During the clinical experience courses, the students will be assigned to a specific preceptor each semester. The student will work with their assigned preceptor for one semester. While assigned to a particular preceptor, the student will work with all of the teams that the preceptor is responsible for during the semester. The clinical experience for each student begins when their assigned preceptor begins their team coverage. This may include pre/post-season and intersession coverage. The clinical education component of the program will include clinical practice opportunities with varied client/patient populations. Populations will include client/patients: - Throughout the lifespan (for example, pediatric, adult, elderly), - Of different sexes, - With different socioeconomic statuses, - Of varying levels of activity and athletic ability (for example, competitive and recreational, individual and team activities, high- and low-intensity activities), - Who participate in nonsport activities (for example, participants in military, industrial, occupational, leisure activities, performing arts). Students will also gain experience with patients with a variety of health conditions commonly seen in athletic training practice. In order to ensure students attain all of the required clinical practice opportunities they will complete rotations in the SUNY Brockport Athletic Training Clinic, Hazen Center for Integrated Care, Strong West Emergency Department, Strong West Urgent Care in Spencerport, and various off-campus clinical sites (area colleges/universities, high schools and clinical settings). Evaluation of the students’ clinical experience will be performed at mid-semester and conclusion of each semester. In addition to the written evaluations, each student is required to demonstrate mastery in each of the clinical integration proficiencies (CIP’s)highlighted for their respective semester (I-IV). These CIP’s are outlined in the clinical proficiency binder that each student receives at the commencement of the clinical experience and on the ATRACK online system. Failure to complete all of the CIP’s (signed off by preceptor) will result in a grade of “Incomplete” as detailed in the Clinical Experience Syllabi. These evaluations will be utilized to assess the student’s progress toward the fulfillment of required competencies and CIP’s and will be performed by the assigned preceptor and discussed between the student, the preceptor, and the program director/clinical education coordinator. Although one of the major objectives in each clinical experience is for students to gain autonomy in their skills, students should never confuse autonomy with unsupervised practice. Students enrolled in the Clinical Experience courses will not receive academic credit or approved hours for any hours that are not under the direct supervision of a preceptor. If, at any time, a student feels like they are not being supervised appropriately, they should notify the Clinical Education Coordinator immediately. Each student is expected to be present for ALL assigned clinical experiences as assigned by your preceptor. Practices and games that are supervised by a preceptor and take place in the evenings, weekends, etc. are part of the clinical experience and attendance at these events is not optional. If you have a conflict with a clinical experience assignment you need to speak with your preceptor, however, weekends are not optional. Travel Expectation during Clinical Experience Courses: During the first two clinical experience courses (PES 541 and PES 545) students are typically assigned to work with preceptors in the Brockport Athletic Training facility. Students will be assigned to cover the athletic training clinic as well as Brockport team practices and games. The only travel typically required during PES 541 and PES 545 will be to local general medical rotations at the Strong West Emergency Department and Spencerport Urgent Care Clinic. These are one week rotations and are located within a few miles of the Brockport campus. Students are expected to provide their own travel to these clinical sites and are responsible for the costs associated with travel to these sites. During the second year of clinical experiences (PES 636 and PES 637) students will typically be completing their clinical experiences at off-campus affiliated sites within the Greater Rochester area. These may include local high schools, colleges and sports medicine clinics. PES 636 requires approximately 30 hours/ week of clinical experience while PES 637 requires an immersive clinical experience of 40 hours/week. Students are expected to provide their own transportation to these off-campus clinical sites and are responsible for the costs associated with travel to these sites. XV.

Athletic Training Student Health Policy All students admitted into the Athletic Training program must undergo a physical examination in order assess the students’ ability to comply with the Technical Standards for Athletic Training (Appendix A). Each student will undergo a physical examination prior to admittance into the program. This examination will assess the medical components of physical health and other disabilities and verify appropriate immunization history. All students must verify immunizations for hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, and diptheria. All students must provide documentation of a negative PPD test annually (Appendix B). **No student will be allowed to perform direct patient care prior to receiving the Hepatitis B vaccination series (or declining via written statement) or annual bloodborne pathogen training All students must comply with the Communicable Disease Policy (Appendix C). Any student suspected of exposure/contact to infective illness will be referred to Hazen Center for Integrated Health for evaluation and treatment. In the case of infective illness Athletic Training Students will not be permitted to participate in the clinical experience aspect of the concentration until cleared by Hazen Health Center. XXI. Tuition & Fees Tuition is set by the State University of New York (SUNY) System. Tuition can vary from year to year. It is up to the student to communicate with student accounts regarding changes to tuition and their personal financial aid status. Up to date Tuition and Fee information can be found online. All students accepted into the MSAT program will be responsible for costs in addition to normal student tuition and fees. Program Specific Costs for the MSAT Program XXII. Financial Aid XXIII. Academic Calendars XXIV. Course Catalogs XXV. Grade Policies Grading policies for graduate programs at SUNY Brockport can be found at the following link: Grading System at the Graduate Level Grade Point Average (GPA) at the Graduate Level XXVI. Blood Borne Pathogen Training & Workplace Practices Brockport Athletic Training BBP Exposure Policy All students enrolled in the Athletic Training program will complete annual bloodborne pathogen training on the Brockport athletic training BBP policy in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards. For first year students, this training will take place during the program orientation prior to the commencement of any clinical experience coursework. For returning students bloodborne pathogen training will take place at the end beginning of each academic year. All students completing off-campus clinical experiences will receive site specific BBP training prior to beginning their clinical experience at the site. A post-exposure plan is available to all students in the event of accidental exposure to a bloodborne pathogen. During all clinical experiences athletic training staff and students will be required to follow the OSHA Universal Precautions for the management of bloodborne pathogens. Protective equipment and materials are available in all the clinical settings. The procedures will include the use of the following: - Gloves - Gowns - Sharps containers - Eye protection - Biohazard containers - Surface decontaminant(bleach -10:1, zorbicide) XXVII. Athletic Training Student Malpractice Liability Insurance All students admitted into the Athletic Training Program must purchase malpractice liability insurance through the State University of New York. Students will not be permitted to participate in the clinical experience until documentation of insurance is produced. The liability insurance is billed through a “clinical instruction fee” as part of the student’s bill. The current fee is $21.00/semester. XXVIII. Athletic Training Student Social Media Policy There will be absolutely no social media contact with minors with whom the ATS comes into contact during the clinical experience. This includes during and after the completion of a given clinical assignment. The age of electronic communication can be very dangerous. Any contact with a minor outside of the supervised clinical environment can be misconstrued and raise concern over the behavior of the ATS, and thus, the ATP. Any statement made or posting of any material, pictures or information within any venue of social networking (Facebook, twitter, etc.) which can cause actual or potential harm or injury to another person or to the Athletic Training Program and/or SUNY Brockport itself will be grounds for dismissal from the MSAT program. In addition, any misrepresentation of the Athletic Training Program, the Department of Kinesiology, Sports Studies or Physical Education or SUNY Brockport in text, photo or video format is strictly prohibited. At no time should an ATS engage in posting pictures or comments about anything related to their clinical education. Using social networking to contact preceptors or faculty is not an acceptable means of professional communication and will not be tolerated. As a reminder, it is a violation of HIPAA policies to ever discuss any aspect of clinical care on social networking. Violation of HIPAA policy is subject to federal prosecution. XXIX. HIPAA/FERPA Information Patient confidentiality is of the utmost importance. At no time should the confidentiality of the patients be breached. All students will receive HIPAA and FERPA training during new student orientation. Students should not discuss confidential patient information with anyone (fans, friends, roommates, parents, etc.) other than the Athletic Training staff or other qualified allied health personnel. All records are confidential and should never be removed from the clinical site without permission of the clinical supervisor. All students must comply with the provisions of the Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Breaches of confidentiality may result in dismissal from the program. SUNY Brockport Athletic Training Policies on Protected Health Information: Policies for the consent for treatment, release of, maintenance and disposal of protected health information are as follows: - Each patient evaluated by a Certified Athletic Training Staff member shall imply consent by signing in to the Medicat Electronic Medical Record system. - Each patient shall sign a consent for release of information form when warranted and necessary. In the event protected health information must be faxed to or from the Athletic Training Clinic it shall be handled by the Athletic Training Staff and kept confidential - Each patient shall have their protected health information maintained in the Medicat Electronic Medical Record system with Athletic Training Staff and Hazen Health Center access only - Each patients’ protected health information shall be disposed of after 10 years from the date they are initially evaluated in the Athletic Training Clinic. XXX. Athletic Training Student Professional Responsibilities Professionalism will be demanded from all athletic training program students and staff at all times. The student should view the clinical experience as a professional environment and should conduct themselves accordingly at all times. Dress Code Preceptors will set the final dress code based on the event(s) and the site. Site specific branded clothing is permitted. All clothing must be properly fitted (not too loose and not too tight), in good and clean condition. ATS are not permitted to wear any clothing representing any institution other than SUNY Brockport and/or the clinical site. Alcohol brands or any other inappropriate logo/message while representing the ATP in an official capacity are not permitted. Students who do not comply with the dress code for their clinical rotation may be excused from the rotation for the day. An ongoing pattern of inappropriate dress may be grounds for dismissal from the program. All students should adhere to the following dress code: - Grooming: - Hair must not interfere with ability to perform clinical duties (i.e.: long hair must be pulled back away from face, etc.). - Fingernails must be kept at a length that will not leave imprints on the patient’s skin. - Jewelry – see Body Piercing and Tatoo Policy section - Jewelry must not interfere with any functions that may be performed by an athletic trainer (e.g. multiple necklaces may interfere with evaluations and treatments; lip piercing may interfere with rescue breathing, large hoop earrings may interfere with auscultations, etc.). - Bottoms: - No denim of any type or color. - No casual cotton/lycra/spandex sweatpants/pants are permitted. - No athletic shorts (mesh, cotton, etc.). - No capris. - Nylon with pockets is acceptable. - All bottoms must be solid khaki, tan, brown, black, blue, gray, or white. - Must have a hem (no cutoffs) and pockets. - Shorts (with permission of preceptor) must be of mid-thigh length to knee length. - Shirts: - ATS must have sufficient supply of Brockport logo polos and T-shirts to wear during clinical experience. - No tank tops, sleeveless shirts, V-neck shirts, scoop-neck shirts allowed. - Shirt sleeves cannot be rolled up above the shoulder. - Shirts must be tucked into the waistline of the shorts or pants at all times. - Shoes/Sneakers/Socks: - The ATS must wear footwear appropriate to the setting. - Sandals, flip-flops, slides, crocs or high heel shoes are not permitted. - Socks must be worn at all times. - Outerwear/Hats: - Only Brockport or clinical site sweatshirts may be worn. - Jackets may not be worn in lieu of appropriate clothing. - Hats may only be worn outdoors and must be specific to the institution (Brockport or clinical site logo). - Hats must be worn correctly (e.g. baseball hats must be worn with the brim forward, etc.). - Game Day Dress: - Discuss and verify Game Day dress code with the preceptor, including exceptions for extreme weather. - Brockport AT polo shirt: - if an additional layer underneath is needed, it must be white, black or grey and under the polo. - Khaki pants. - Brockport AT jacket or ¼ zip pull-over if the weather is cold **During the pre-season and inter-session experiences students should wear either the Brockport Athletic Training t-shirts, polos or sweatshirts.

The Field of Exercise Science Exercise science is the study of how the human body responds and adapts to exercise. In practice, exercise scientists are responsible for designing and implementing exercise programs for a wide breadth of populations. We work to improve the performance of athletes by performing physiological assessments and using that information to design effective training programs. Exercise scientists also work with members of the general population who are interested in improving their health and reducing their disease risk. Exercise scientists may also specialize in working with those with pre-existing disease such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pulmonary challenges, and cancer. Our Program Students who first join SUNY Brockport and are looking to pursue a career in Exercise Science need to declare as an Exercise Science intent. Once students have fulfilled the requirements they will then become an official exercise science major. Areas of Employment - Strength and Conditioning Coach - Manager of a Fitness Facility - Corporate Fitness Program Director - Personal Trainer - Cardiac/ Pulmonary Rehabilitation Specialist - Exercise Professional at a Medical Center - Exercise Professional in an Obesity Management Center - Sport Research Scientist Graduate Study The Exercise Science curriculum effectively prepares students for graduate study in a wide array of Allied Health fields. We have successfully placed students in the following areas of graduate study: - Exercise Physiology (both Masters and Doctoral degrees) - Athletic Training - Clinical Exercise Specialist - Biomechanics - Doctorate of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) - Occupational Therapy - Physician Assistant - Nursing - Chiropractic School - Medical School Students are encouraged to enroll as Exercise Science majors for their undergraduate degree if they are looking to pursue the Master’s Degree in Athletic Training at SUNY Brockport.

An internship is required for exercise science majors before graduation. It is designed for students to utilize their classroom, practicum, and laboratory experiences in clinical settings, health organizations, the fitness industry, and sport organizations. Overview The internship field experience is the capstone of our program. Students enroll in the internship course (PEP 458) typically in their senior year after they have taken a majority of their exercise science courses. Students must commit 320 hours, roughly 22 hours per week, to their internship site and complete the associated coursework. Students also have the option to complete the course over the summer in a more condensed 12 week, 27 hour per week commitment. The internship carries a 6 credit course load. The main purpose of the internship is to offer students an opportunity to use the knowledge, skills, and abilities attained in the courses of the professional program and practicum and apply them in a field experience. These experiences take place at agencies such as hospitals, cardiac rehabilitation programs, and research programs at universities, strength and conditioning programs at universities, and community and corporate fitness settings. The internship experience allows the student to expand their professional knowledge through the interactions with the internship site personnel, clients, and others in the field. Our department works with a handful of agencies that we have developed a working relationship with to ensure a useful, informative, and engaging internship experience for our students. Students will work closely with the internship coordinator to be matched with an exercise science internship site according to their career aspirations. Students are responsible for their own transportation and living expenses. Requirements - Prior to internship placement the student must complete all departmental required courses in the major with grades of a C or better. In addition, there is also a GPA requirement that must be: - met prior to applying for the internship - maintained up until placement at the internship site - Students admitted to SUNY Brockport Fall 2015 or later must have at least a 2.75 GPA in their major to apply and complete the internship. Brockport interns are ready to apply what they have learned and work hard in the weight room.

General Overview of SUNY Brockport’s Exercise Science Program The Exercise Science Major is one of only 18 programs in the country that is both accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and endorsed by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). In the Exercise Science program, students will gain a detailed understanding of the physiological responses to exercise. They will have both academic and active learning experiences that will teach them to design and implement exercise programs for a wide breadth of populations. - PEP 458 - Internship in Exercise Science is taken once the student has completed all required PES/PEP courses with a grade of a C or better. In order to submit an application for the internship course, and complete the internship, the student must have an in-major Brockport GPA ≥ 2.75 The internship is required and designed to enable students to utilize their classroom, practicum, and laboratory experiences in clinical settings, health organizations, the fitness industry, and sport organizations. An internship course, like any other course, must contribute to the achievement of the program’s learning outcomes in alignment with those of the institution. The internship syllabus provides an overview of the course to students. Internship Objectives The Internship in Exercise Science is intended for students to observe and gain practical experience in a professional environment in which they plan to work as a career. Students are required to complete 6 credits (320 hours) of internship before graduation. The internship offers opportunities for students to: - apply theory in a practical environment - further develop professional knowledge, skills, and abilities defined for each major by appropriate professional organizations - establish groundwork and provide networking for professional development and growth in a career - further help students recognize their own strengths and weaknesses both personally and professionally - facilitate students as they assess personal ambitions in their chosen field - prepare students for employment or graduate education Internship Site Features - The intern is expected to have an opportunity to practice all the responsibilities of the professional environment as allowed by the supervisor. - The intern may be given a stipend for the internship experience, but it is not expected. If the internship is to be completed in a location where the student is simultaneously employed the internship must provide him/her with a full range of work experiences outside their current scope of practice, i.e. not what they are currently doing in their job. - The internship experience should include general responsibilities of the environment, management and administration of the facilities, learning the programming software necessary for the job, and general requirements of employment. - Where permitted, interns should observe, study and assist in carrying out the facility’s practices and policies, help design and implement program activities, help with facility maintenance and operation, and assist with specialized duties of the supervisor or his/her coworkers. - The Internship Coordinator will keep in touch in person, by phone, through email and Blackboard with the internship supervisor at least twice during the internship. The Internship Coordinator may visit if the internship is within the greater Rochester area and may conduct a video conference the site if it is outside the greater Rochester area. Site Selection A good internship site will provide the student with practical experience in the student’s area of academic or career interest, thereby contributing to achievement of the learning outcomes of the course. The site’s personnel should provide initial orientation, mentoring and guidance to the student as part of the student’s internship. The Internship Coordinator will work with students to find internship sites and site supervisors suitable to the student’s goals and the department’s academic criteria. There are several ways to locate acceptable internship sites: - The faculty or academic department internship coordinator may use professional contacts to solicit internships at appropriate sites. - Potential internship sites may be requested to submit a description of their activities, and the proposed duties and qualifications for the intern. - Students may be asked to take responsibility for researching, identifying and finding possible internship opportunities. This activity will help students to identify their own career goals and the manner in which they may best be achieved, and it will also help students learn career preparation skills that will be useful after graduation. Students may seek such internships through organizations already listed by the university or propose an internship site found through faculty advice, professional acquaintance, Internet research or other contacts. All internship opportunities must be reviewed and approved by the Internship Coordinator prior to course registration. Student Eligibility and Preparation for All Internships To be eligible for an internship, students must meet all institutional and degree requirements. The Exercise Science requirements include: - Meeting with the Internship Coordinator to discuss selection of a site for the internship during the semester prior to enrollment in PEP 458. This includes attending the mandatory internship informational meeting and participating in any necessary communication afterward to secure adequate placement - Completion of all required departmental courses in the Exercise Science Major, with grades of C or better in each course and a major GPA of ≥2.50 (entry prior to Fall 2015) or a major GPA of ≥2.75 (entry Fall 2015 to current); - Completion of an Internship Application (see Appendix A for example of the application; also on the Exercise Science Internship website). Student preparation for internship application should include development of materials and experiences such as the following: - cover letter - résumé - mock interviews - research to acquire advanced knowledge of each internship site to determine best placement Prior to commencement of the internship, special information will be given to students about workplace safety, including situations that might be defined as harassment and/or hostile work environments. Students will be instructed to report concerns about a potentially hostile work environment to the Internship Coordinator, who will have knowledge about appropriate reactions to such reports. The campus should determine, and faculty and students should know the proper channels to use to report or ask about questionable conditions during an internship. (See syllabus) Guidelines for Internship Site Supervisors General Organization Expectations - The organization is expected to provide a helpful illustration of work experience for each intern, which will play a role in his/her professional development and growth. - The organization must have sufficient resources to supply the intern with a suitable experience. - The organization must employ the person who serves as the internship/volunteer supervisor. It is expected that the supervisor is competent in fulfilling the objectives outlined below and be an employee who is committed to helping student interns develop and grow into professionals. Internship Supervisor Responsibilities - To provide the organization’s communication between SUNY Brockport and organization employees. - To create a job environment to facilitate the intern’s growth and development in their responsibilities and duties. - After gaining approval for an internship program, to communicate the goals of the specific internship experience to the appropriate body, which has committed to the internship program. - To introduce the intern and the internship opportunity to the organization’s staff and assist the intern to have appropriate interaction with the staff. - To aid the intern in understanding their work duties and responsibilities as it correlates with the organization and its clients. - To outline the responsibilities of the intern and assist their development and growth by: - Setting appropriate goals and objectives with the intern. - Meeting regularly to discuss operational methods, problems, and leadership techniques and additional issues that will facilitate the intern in meeting his/her internship goals. - Keeping the intern up to date on all regulations and rules. Internship Coordinator Responsibilities - To be accountable for the university’s communication end of the internship. - To continue to update possible internship sites and supervisors to provide currency and the best opportunities for our interns when consulting about internship placement. - To provide support and advice to the student. - To oversee arrangements for and endorse internship contracts. - To maintain the lines of communication with the internship supervisor. - To be available for consultation if necessary and act as a resource individual for the student and organization internship supervisor. - To assess internship reports and the performance of the student - the final grade is given by the Internship Coordinator using the final evaluation of the organization’s internship supervisor and journals and reflections and other assignments completed by the student. Intern Responsibilities - To select the placement of the internship site, establish initial communication with the organization, and gain final approval from the Internship Coordinator for the internship experience. - Students must complete all assignments and requirements by the dates assigned. - Students must check in to their Blackboard account daily for updated communication and to ensure they are completing all requirements for successful completion of the internship. Professionalism As an intern on or off-campus, you not only represent yourself, but also the Exercise Science Major, the Kinesiology, Sport Studies, and Physical Education Department and SUNY Brockport. Professionalism should be a top priority from the time you begin your internship search through your last day at your internship. Professionalism includes being on time, dressing appropriately, and showing respect to those around you at all times. Your level of professionalism will shine through beginning with the very first contact you make with a potential site supervisor. Ultimately, how well you present yourself will be reflected in your final grade. Below are some tips you can reference to enhance your professionalism skills: - Be respectful in all communications, face-to-face, on the phone, and/or via email. This includes, but is not limited to, addressing people formally until you’ve been instructed otherwise. (ie. Dr./Mr./Mrs./Ms/Coach, etc.) - Always be on time. If necessary, communicate a change in plans. - Dress professionally. You should ask your supervisor what appropriate dress is for the site. - Develop a good relationship with your supervisor and co-workers. Be a good listener, take feedback graciously and implement immediately. Be a team player. - Project confidence, not arrogance. Remember that you are the newest member of the facility. Being an active listener who shows enthusiasm for learning the ropes will go a long way with your co-workers and allow you to learn as much as you can about this new experience. - Limit your personal screen time. Familiarize yourself with any policies regarding cell phone use during your shift. Keep your phone off and out of sight unless you’ve been given permission otherwise. Stay engaged in your tasks and environment to maximize your internship experience and exhibit a high level of professionalism. - Show gratitude in your experiences. It is respectful to follow up interviews and final internship experiences with hand-written notes of thanks. The relationships you build with your co-workers, fellow interns, and supervisor(s) will likely carry you on to the next phase of your career and beyond. Many people stay in touch for years after an internship. Internship Course Syllabus/Procedures PEP 458 – Internship in Exercise Science, Course Syllabus Internship Coordinator: Amanda L. Shearer, M.S., C-CEP, ashearer@brockport.edu, (585) 395-2011 Course Description: PEP 458, Internship in Exercise Science, is offered in the Fall, Spring, and Summer of each academic year. The internship is a 15 week (full semester), 22-hour per week, 320 hour total time commitment for each student. If completed over the summer, it is a more condensed 12 week, 27-hour per week, 320 hour total time commitment. This internship carries a 6 credit course load. The main purpose of the internship in the Exercise Science Major is to offer students an opportunity to use the knowledge, skills and abilities attained in the courses of the professional program and practicum and apply them in a field experience. These experiences take place at agencies such as hospitals, cardiac rehabilitation programs, and research programs at universities, strength & conditioning programs at universities, and community and corporate fitness settings. The internship experience allows the student to expand his or her professional knowledge through the interactions with the internship site personnel, clients, and others in the field. The student is ultimately responsible for the location of the internship site. The internship coordinator has much contact information that can assist in this process, depending on location and type of internship. Once the student finds a site that he or she deems a good match for his or her educational interest, a meeting with the internship coordinator should be arranged to ensure that the internship site is, to the best of the internship coordinator’s determination, a worthy internship location. The student arranges an interview with the potential site supervisor, and establishes goals and responsibilities for the experience. This is conducted at each individual site, as the goals and responsibilities will vary with the internship site. The internship coordinator can provide input into the goals and responsibilities established for each student if necessary. The internship coordinator can assist the student in identifying professional and career objectives, clarifying learning objectives and assisting in the identification of the type of appropriate internship site. The internship site has a chance to assess a potential employee and give current employees additional leadership experience as they mentor the interning student. An affiliation agreement between SUNY Brockport and the internship site must be established prior to the student beginning the internship. The Internship Coordinator works with the contract specialists to assist in this process. The intern student is required to keep a journal during the internship experience. The purpose of this assignment is to have the student reflect on the intern experience. This is an opportunity for the student to describe what was done, what was learned, and to place the experiences within the context of the intern site agency. Each journal entry should be made upon completion of each day at the internship site. There is no suggested length, and a short paragraph per entry is often adequate. With each entry of the day should be the number of hours you completed that day, thus allowing you to keep track of, and document, your hours. The intern will also be required to write a summary report at the conclusion of the internship. The intern student should think creatively about his/her contribution to the profession and the professional value of the intern placement. Course Prerequisites: - Meet with the Internship Coordinator to discuss selection of a site for the internship, in the semester prior to enrollment in PEP 458. This includes the mandatory internship informational meeting and any necessary communication after to secure adequate placement. - Completion of all required departmental courses in the Exercise Science Major, with grades of C or better in each course and a Major GPA of at least 2.50 or 2.75 (entry Fall 2015 to present). - Completion of an Internship Application (found on SUNY Brockport website under Exercise Science Major – Internship). Evaluation - Supervisor Evaluation/Site Visit — 50% - Culminating Project — 20% - Journal/Blackboard Discussions — 10% - Reflective Summary Report — 20% - Online graduate survey — Not graded, but required - Employer information survey — Not graded, but required - Supervisor Evaluation/Site Visit - The supervisor will evaluate the intern at midterm and following completion of the internship. The evaluations will be emailed directly to the supervisor from the coordinator. The Internship Coordinator may arrange an observatory site visit to the site at least once during the semester for those interns placed in the greater Rochester/Buffalo areas. If the intern is placed outside a reasonable travel distance, the Internship Coordinator will arrange for a virtual visit via Skype or similar method. There will be forthcoming information regarding site visits on Blackboard. - Culminating Project – The intern will complete a project depending on the goals and responsibilities of the intern at their specific site. Please refer to the specific requirements for this project on Blackboard. - Journal/Blackboard Discussions – The intern will submit an electronic journal at the end of the internship. Each journal entry should be made at the completion of each day at the internship site. A short paragraph is adequate and describes what was accomplished that day. The report includes the activities participated in, and the activities observed. Each day should also include the number of hours completed, thus allowing you to track your progress. Furthermore, the intern is required to participate in discussions posted by the coordinator on Blackboard. These discussions will foster communication and reflection amongst all interns and provide a platform for learning about various experiences. - Reflective Summary Report - A summary report of 4-7 pages, double-spaced, paragraph format should be submitted to the Internship Coordinator at the completion of the internship experience. Topics to address are; your primary learning experiences, special project(s), case study, comments on how to improve the practicum process, improve the university process, and the agency process. This report also needs to be reflective. Along these lines, the intern will answer the following questions: How did this experience change you as a person? Reflect upon how this experience confirmed or changed how you perceive this profession. - Online graduate survey and Employer Contact Information Survey – Prior to receiving your grade, you must complete an online survey about your experiences as a Brockport exercise science major, etc. This will provide us with valuable information about our program and also your future career goals, etc. You will receive more details about this via e-mail during your internship. You will also need to complete a short survey about any current job that you might have such that we have employer information for accreditation. You will get these surveys at some point during the internship and an e-mail explanation. If the surveys are not completed by the end of the term the intern is registered for, the intern will receive an incomplete for a grade.

The 3+3 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is an early decision accelerated program that allows students from SUNY Brockport to complete both their undergraduate degree and their physical therapy doctoral degree in just six years — rather than the traditional seven — through a combined degree program with SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. Physical Therapy is the wave of the future, with job growth increasingly rapidly. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, the DPT degree is considered the gold standard in physical therapy education and will drive the future of the profession. In many states physical therapists practice independently, without physician referral. Our program prepares students for this opportunity. SUNY Upstate graduates are eligible to apply for licensure as physical therapists throughout the United States. About the Program The 3+3 DPT program is a combined degree program between SUNY Upstate Medical University and SUNY Brockport. Students complete their first three years of study at Brockport. The first year at Upstate Medical University then counts as both the fourth year of undergraduate and the first year of graduate study. After completing their first year at SUNY Upstate, students receive a bachelor’s degree from Brockport. Upon successful completion of the two more years of graduate work at Upstate, students are awarded a Doctor of Physical Therapy from SUNY Upstate Medical University. Students are able to choose from three approved majors while at SUNY Brockport: Entry-level prerequisite college courses that students must complete at Brockport prior to starting at SUNY Upstate include: *All science courses must include labs. *May substitute PES 335 for Biology II. **Pre-calculus is a prerequisite for Physics. CPR is required at the time of matriculation. Admission to the Program Admission to the 3+3 DPT program is highly competitive. To be considered for an interview with SUNY Upstate, applicants must have: - - An unweighted High School GPA of 90 or higher - 4 years of science and math - Regents, Honors, AP, or IB courses recommended - Observational experience with a Physical Therapist - 8 hours of shadowing is required - Submitting SAT and/or ACT scores is optional. If submitted, recommended minimum scores are 1270 SAT or 26 ACT. To apply, high school seniors must apply to the Early Admission Program at SUNY Upstate at the same time they apply to SUNY Brockport: Applications for admission to SUNY Upstate may be downloaded from the Upstate website. The application deadline for the 3+3 DPT application for SUNY Upstate is February 1. To apply for admission to SUNY Brockport, use the regular SUNY application. Upon acceptance to both SUNY Upstate and SUNY Brockport, students will be guaranteed acceptance into the 3+3 Doctorate of Physical Therapy program provided they maintain performance criteria. Early Admission 3+3 students are NOT required to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). SUNY Upstate encourages students considering the 3+3 DPT program to add themselves to their contact list to receive more information about the Physical Therapy program, admissions information and to be notified about events. SUNY Brockport students not accepted into Upstate Medical University’s 3+3 program as a high school senior can apply to Upstate’s Early Assurance Program for College Sophomores or regular admission during their senior year of college.

Research in Kinesiology Our students have many opportunities to participate in research in the kinesiology major. Undergraduates can gain valuable experience from research including analytical, critical thinking, oral communication, and writing skills. Research can also provide students with experiences that will separate them from their peers when competing for graduate programs and jobs. Some students develop such a strong interest from their research that it has led them on a different career path. Students interested in participating in research at any level should review the list of kinesiology faculty research interests below and contact the faculty member(s) in which you share common research interests. We will then determine if there are opportunities for you to participate in a current research project or develop a project of your own. Undergraduate students have participated in all aspects of research from participant recruitment to data collection to analyses and even write-up. Some students have published articles as undergraduate students alongside their mentor(s). Other students have attended and presented at conferences both locally, nationally, and internationally. Sport Psychology Sport psychology is the study of how psychological factors can affect a person’s performance and how performing in sport and exercise can affect not only physical factors, but psychological factors as well. While this research is typically done on athletes, there are also benefits to seeing how being involved with a sport and exercise can effect any individual’s psyche. Dr. Mario Fontana’s background is in Achievement Goal Perspective Theory and he has a particular interest in how athletes experience and process self-conscious emotions such as shame and pride. He loves working with athletes and coaches to help them get in the mindset for how to have an optimal experience in sport, no matter what their skill level may be. Dr. Vista Beasley’s research interests revolve around the psychology of pain and injury in sport, tactical, and other physical activity contexts. The psychological factors she examines include mental toughness, the desire to impress others (i.e., self-presentational concern), and social identification. She is currently exploring research questions including: What can be done so that athletes, law enforcement officers, and military members make good decisions when they’re in pain? Which athletes are more likely to push through pain or hide pain from coaches/instructors? Why does a recreational athlete or hiker do something risky that causes them to get injured? She employs quantitative and qualitative research methods and is open to helping students develop their own research projects related to these research questions and psychological factors. Motor Behavior The study of motor behavior examines how motor skills are learned, controlled, and developed throughout a lifetime. Studies within motor behavior may also try to understand and enhance people with physical disabilities. Professor Pamela Haibach-Beach’s research interests focus upon motor development assessments including motor competence and balance in typically developing and specialized populations. She co-directs the Institute of Movement Studies for Individuals with Visual Impairments with Dr. Lauren Lieberman and conducts much research with this population in all ages as well as develops educational videos, books, and conducts workshops for practitioners and students. Recent research includes balance interventions with older adults, motor development assessments with children with CHARGE Syndrome, motor imagery in children and adolescents with visual impairments, and running with guide dogs. She is also very open to helping students develop their own research projects related to motor learning, motor control, and/or motor development. Dr. Melanie Perreault’s research revolves around motor learning and motor development of children with and without disabilities. Specific topics include the effects of internal and external attentional foci on motor learning in typically developing children; factors impacting the development of fundamental motor skills in children with CHARGE Syndrome; and imagery use and function in children with visual impairments. She is also open to student initiated projects that fall within my area of expertise. If you have an idea, she would love to hear about it! Sport Philosophy Sport philosophy seeks to analyze the idea of sport in our society including how it shapes and influences our culture. Dr. Peter Hager’s research focuses on the philosophic study of the measurement and achievement of excellence in sport. He also conducts philosophic research related to ethics in sport competition. Dr. Hager also enjoys helping students to develop their own projects so that they are strongly invested in their work and motivated to achieve. Professor Cesar R. Torres’s interests and research are in sport philosophy, sport history, Olympic studies, and Latin American studies. In sport philosophy, his research revolves around the nature of and relationship between games, sport, and the skills they create. He has connected the latter to a theory of sport known as interpretivism. Following his theoretical interpretivist insights, he has analyzed a number of pressing controversies in sport, physical education, and the Olympic Movement. For sport history, Olympic studies, and Latin American studies, Prof. Torres’s primary interest lies in the cultural conversation and exchange between the Americas at the end of the nineteenth and throughout the twentieth centuries in the fields of sport, physical education, and Olympism. He is specially interested in the role that Latin America, and particularly Argentina, has played in the development of the Olympic Movement.

Study Abroad Kinesiology students enjoy a wide range of international opportunities including short term (3-6 weeks) or full semester programs. Of particular interest to students have been the full semester outdoor education program at the University of Stavenger, Norway and short term sport and adventure based programs in the Dominican Republic, western Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Students also have the option of developing their practicum experience around a study abroad trip. Students interested in learning more about kinesiology related study abroad programs should contact Dr. Pamela Haibach-Beach. For general information visit our study abroad website. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) There are two options for students to partake in a COIL program/lecture at the University. - A semester long co-teaching course with a COIL faculty member at the University and another COIL professor from somewhere else in the world. - A one-off co-teaching lesson with a COIL professor from the University and another COIL professor from somewhere else in the world. A COIL class is one in which the class collaborates with an international class through lesson plans and projects. Three faculty in the kinesiology program have been trained to teach COIL classes. These experiences enable students to ‘travel’ to other countries while staying in their classroom. Our Students are paired with students from an international institution and learn about each other’s cultures while completing collaborative projects. Recently kinesiology students have participated in COIL experiences with the Netherlands and Lebanon.

One major component of our curriculum is for physical education teacher candidates to obtain field experience in physical education settings About A student’s field experience will vary on a case by case basis. Students are placed into a physical education teacher education environment at a surrounding school district to the University and assigned to a teacher of that district that will oversee their learning and field experience. Students observe/partake in the class activities, then discuss their observations with their classmates during regular class times. Students must partake in five separate field experiences that prepare them for a career in the field. For your first field experience (PEP 441), students are required to clock 15 hours. For PEP 442 and 444, students will need to clock 30 hours of field experience. Please Note: Students should leave at least two, three hour blocks of free time available weekly in your schedule for their field experience (commute time should be built into your free time). Depending on the field experience, the window of time you need to leave open will differ. - PEP 441: Any 3 hour block within a standard work week - PEP 442: Early morning to early afternoon - PEP 444: Late morning to late afternoon Eligibility - To be eligible for a seat in Spring PEP 441, students must meet all program requirements by the end of fall semester (winter session does not count). - To be eligible for a seat in Fall PEP 441, students must meet all program requirements by the end of Summer session. Teacher candidates in PEP 441, PEP 442 and PEP 444, assume responsibility for their own transportation. Teacher candidates in the teacher certification major must have transportation available to participate in a variety of field-based experiences. Teacher candidates without transportation will need to postpone methods classes until they have access to appropriate transportation. Field Experience Application Process Students must submit a new application each semester when applying for a field experience through the PE Field Experience Office even though an application may have been submitted for a previous semester. The Coordinator of Field Experience will email links to the on-line application forms for PEP 441 (Instructional Planning and Strategies in PE), PEP 444 (Elementary Methods), and PEP 442 (Secondary Methods) to all students at mid-semester for the following semester’s field experiences. Students may not secure their own field experience placement or contact any districts. This contact may be misinterpreted as attempting to make a self-placement. It is our general policy not to place candidates in the district where they attended school or where immediate family members are working or attending school. Students will receive their field experience placement for their respective methods course (PEP 441, PEP 444, or PEP 442) via e-mail at the beginning of each semester. Requirements for Field Experience At least one field experience or student teaching placement must meet each of the following requirements: - A high-needs school (at least 50% of students receive free/reduced lunch/breakfast) - Children with special needs - Children who are not native speakers of English. These New York State requirements for teacher certification are likely to be met in multiple field experiences and/or student teaching placements; the Field Experience Office will track this information. The special needs requirement will be met on campus when enrolled in PEP 445 Adapted Physical Education. Most Instructional Planning in Physical Education candidates will be placed in the Rochester City School District which will fulfill the high-needs requirement.

The Student Teaching experience is designed as a field-based practice for the purpose of demonstrating competencies necessary for successful teaching in Pre K—12 Physical Education. Purpose Student teaching is the culminating activity of the Physical Education Teacher Education major. Student teaching serves as a synthesis of all the discrete teaching phases students have been exposed to during their time in the program. It provides an important opportunity to work with pupils in a naturalistic setting for an extended period of time. It is intended that student teachers will combine theory with practice in working with students in real school settings. It provides the student teacher with the opportunity to further acquire and refine teaching skill. By the end of the student teaching program, students should demonstrate the capacity to function as an independent teacher. Physical education teachers are prepared to teach Pre K—12, thus an experience in both elementary and secondary schools is required. Teaching assignments must therefore reflect a separate secondary experience (7—12) and elementary experience (Pre K—6). About Student Teaching The student teaching experience is a 12 credit semester assignment which is distributed across two, eight week quarters and three seminars. The time schedule for each semester student teaching experience varies with the calendar for each semester. However, for each placement, a minimum of seven to eight weeks must be completed by the student teacher. Students who meet all eligibility requirements are permitted to enroll in the student teaching experience. The student teaching experience is for a specified period of time (two equal-halves of a full semester) and for a daily amount of time (full-time). Each student teacher is required to provide professional service in each placement for the entire time school is open. A student teacher is not excused for planning periods or activity periods unless specifically approved by the university supervisor and the cooperating teacher. When not directly engaged in teaching or observing, the student teacher should be directed toward activities in the media center, counseling center, or other appropriate settings. Each semester, a mandatory orientation meeting will be held for all prospective student teacher applicants. This informational meeting discusses the student teaching portion of your education and covers all you will need to know. Eligibility In order to be eligible to partake in student teaching, teacher candidates must have : - At least 108 credits prior to student teaching. - All General Education requirements. - Completion of all other physical education major requirements. - 2.0 GPA in the physical education major (transfer courses do not count in GPA calculation). - A grade of “C” or higher in all professional methods courses. - A grade of “C” or higher in all activity/skill courses. - A grade of “C” or higher in all professional electives. - Participation in the health-related physical fitness test. - A student teaching application. - An overall Brockport GPA of 2.5 or higher. - A current, state-approved First Aid (including AED training) and CPR certification.

The Importance of Mathematics An in-depth understanding of mathematics is of great importance in many careers in our technologically complex society. Moreover, the study of mathematics promotes analytical and critical-thinking skills, and therefore is a valuable part of any program of study. The major and minor programs in mathematics are designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue graduate study or to support career goals in a range of professions. Recent graduates who have majored in mathematics have found rewarding careers in business, teaching, computing, government, law, engineering, and medicine. A major or minor in mathematics is a natural adjunct to the study of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, business, economics, computer science or the social sciences. About Us The department offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Arts (MA) degree in Mathematics. In addition, we offer a combined BS/MA program. The traditional BS degree in mathematics allows students to tailor their learning to a specific track in either Statistics and Actuarial Science. We also offer a minor in mathematics. To complete a major in mathematics, students take nine required courses that provide a thorough foundation in several central areas of mathematics, a course in structured programming, and a minimum of three advanced courses chosen to give special depth in at least one area. The two minor programs require students to take six mathematics courses that coherently complement their particular major. Due to the sequential nature of the study of mathematics, students should meet with the department’s advisement coordinator as soon as possible to declare a major or minor, be assigned a departmental advisor, and begin planning a sound academic program.

March 2, 2020 from 2:30 - 3:30 Location: 216 Holmes Abstract: Theta functions are a family of functions that are usually defined for counting purposes. However they usually have symmetries built into them which can be exploited to solve our counting problems. This will be an introductory talk that does not assume any specialized math from the audience. Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura Title: Orthogonality without Inner Products Date/Time: Wednesday, December 11, 2019, 2:30-3:30 pm Location: 101 Holmes Hall Abstract: There is no natural definition of angles without a corresponding inner product, however we can generalize the notion of orthogonality. We investigate some of these generalizations and their properties. Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura Title: Orthogonality without Inner Products Date/Time: Wednesday, December 4, 2019, 2:30-3:30 pm Location: 101 Holmes Hall Abstract: There is no natural definition of angles without a corresponding inner product. However, there are ways to generalize the notion of orthogonality. In this talk, we investigate a few of these generalizations. Speaker: Melissa Dimarco Title: Finite Generation of Ext-Algebras of Finite Dimensional Algebras Date/Time: Wednesday, October 9, 2019, 3:15 – 4 pm Location: 101 Holmes Halls Abstract: Deep within the mathematical jungle lives the elusive finite-dimensional algebra. This beast is both a ring and a field, so it can confuse even the mightiest of mathematicians. However, it can be tamed with a quiver—a mathematical quiver. These quivers, or directed graphs, allow us to compute new things and prove new theorems. In this talk, we will learn about the Ext-Algebra—what it is, how to think about it, and some of the current research on it. This talk is appropriate for anyone with knowledge of vector spaces, rings, or directed graphs. Speaker: Dr. Xiaosong Liu (Jiaying University) Title:Area operators on Hardy space on the unit ball of $\mathbb C^n$ Date/Time: Monday, September 23, 2019, 2:30-3:30 pm Location: 101 Holmes Abstract: Let $\mathbb B_n$ and $\mathbb S_n$ be the unit ball and the unit sphere of the $n$-dimensional complex Euclidean space $\mathbb{C}^n$, respectively. For $0<p<\infty$, we say that an analytic function $f$ on $\mathbb B^n$ is in the Hardy space $H^p$, if \[ \|f\|_{H^p}^p=\sup_{0<r<1}\int_{\mathbb{S}_n}|f(r \zeta)|^p d \sigma(\zeta)<\infty, \] where $d\sigma$ is the normalized area measure on $\mathbb S_n$. Let $\mu$ be a non-negative Borel measure on $\mathbb{B}_n$. For $s>0$, the area operator induced by $\mu$ is defined by \[ \mathcal{A}_{\mu,s}(f)(\zeta)=\left(\int_{\Gamma(\zeta)}|f(z)|^s\frac{d\mu(z)}{(1-|z|)^n}\right)^\frac{1}{s}, \qquad\zeta\in \mathbb{S}_n. \] where $\Gamma(\zeta)$ is the admissible approach region in $\mathbb{B}_n$ given by \[ \Gamma(\zeta)=\{z\in\mathbb{B}_n:\, |1-\langle z, \zeta\rangle|<1-|z|^2\}. \] We characterize boundedness and compactness of area operators from $H^p$ into $L^q(\mathbb{S}_n)$ in terms of Carleson measures, where $0<p,q<\infty$. The result generalized the corresponding result by Minqing Gong, Zengjian Lou and Zhijian Wu on the unit disk of the complex plane $\mathbb C$. Some of the tools used in the proof of the one dimensional case are not available in higher dimensions, such as the strong factorization of Hardy spaces. Therefore, we need the theory of tent spaces which was established by Coifman, Mayer and Stein in 1985 Speaker: Dr. Justin Troyka (York University) Title: Split Graphs: Combinatorial Species and Asymptotics Date/Time: Monday, May 6, 2019, 3:30 – 4:30 pm Location: 107 Liberal Arts Building Abstract: A split graph is a graph whose vertices can be partitioned into a clique (complete graph) and a stable set (independent set). How many split graphs on n vertices are there? Approximately how many are there, as n goes to infinity? After summarizing the work on these questions by Collins and Trenk (2018), I will explain how I have generalized their results in the setting of combinatorial species. Species theory is a framework for counting combinatorial objects acted on by isomorphisms. As I will show, split graphs turn out to be an excellent application of that theory, allowing me to prove a conjecture of Cheng, Collins, and Trenk (2016). Along the way, I will demonstrate an asymptotic result, which I am shocked to find has not been discovered before, about bi-colored graphs (which are related to bipartite graphs). This talk should be accessible to undergraduates who have seen combinatorics. There will be pictures, integer sequences, and generating functions. Previous Semesters Speaker: Sedar Ngoma (SUNY Geneseo) Title:On an inverse problem for a parabolic differential equation Time: Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2018 , 3:30 - 4:30 pm Location: 101 Holmes Abstract:Inverse problems have many applications in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and many other fields. In this talk we introduce the concept of inverse problems, provide some examples, and investigate a time-dependent inverse source problem in a parabolic partial differential equation with an integral constraint and subject to the Neumann boundary condition. Thanks to a certain transformation, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Moreover, we develop and implement an algorithm that we used to approximate solutions of the inverse problem by means of the finite element method. Our numerical results show that the proposed scheme is an accurate way for approximating solutions of this inverse problem. Speaker: Luke Duttweiler Title:Spectre Analysis: Calculating the Eigenvalues of Families of Hypergraphs…on Halloween Time: Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018 , 2:30 - 3:30 pm Location: 101 Holmes Abstract: Spectral graph theory is a highly applicable area of mathematics research. In this talk we discuss some basics for spectral graph theory, suggest a definition for cycles and paths of oriented hypergraphs, and determine the Laplaican eigenvalues of these cycles and paths. Speaker: Luke Duttweiler Title: My Statistics Internship Time: Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018, 2:30 - 3:20 pm Location: 101 Holmes Abstract: I will discuss the internship that I did over the summer in statistics. Including what I actually did, what (mathematics) was expected of me by my employers, what I learned, and how I found the internship. If there is time I will also give a sample of the sort of data analysis that I did. Speaker: Howard Skogman Title: Ozanam’s Rule is False Time: Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2:30 - 3:20 pm Location: 214 Albert Brown Building Abstract: Ozanam’s rule is a test to determine whether a given integer is a polygonal number. It was originally stated in 1694 (by Jacques Ozanam) and generalized in 1778 (by Jean-Etienne Montucla) but in 2017 it was shown to be false in general by Adam Krause (Brockport Math MA student). We discuss the history of this rule and give a corrected version. Speaker: Jason Morris Title: Familiar (and less familiar) Spaces of Sequences Time: Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2:45 - 3:45 pm Location: 104 Holmes Abstract: It’s a pleasant surprise when you find out that you can do arithmetic with sequences just as if they were vectors in 2D or 3D. But you can do more than just vector arithmetic. You can make sense of magnitude and inner products, and you can perform linear operations on sequences. You can even have a sequence of sequences that converges (to a sequence, of course)! The choice of how to measure magnitude has consequences, and different choices lead to classical sequence spaces, such as l^∞ , c, c_0 , l^1 , l^2 , and l^p . These are introduced, and some of their properties are considered. Then we can get to the “less familiar” part: does it make sense to have l(p_n) where p_n itself is a sequence? Notes: 1. If you studied infinite series in calculus 2, you’ll understand (most of) this talk. 2. If you have taken linear algebra or even real analysis, you’ll understand even more! 3. There may be opportunities for research projects based on this topic. 4. I’m working up to a future talk about the possibility of research in solving differential equations using Sobolev Spaces with variable exponent…but you don’t need to be interested in that to come to this talk about sequences. Speaker: Trevor Jarvis (Brockport Undergraduate) Title: Introduction to Knot Theory Time: Monday, Oct. 30th, 2:45 - 3:45 pm Location: 104 Holmes Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss some of the basics of knot theory, following Colin Adams’ The Knot Book. We will cover the first few chapters, some information related to the content of those chapters, as well as some applications of knot theory, essentially, why do we care about it. This talk will be accessible for all undergraduates. Speaker: Melissa Dimarco Title: Quivers, an Introduction Time: Wednesday, Oct. 25th, 2:45 - 3:45 pm Location: 104 Holmes Abstract: A quiver is a directed graph with an algebraic context. In this talk, we will introduce quivers and discuss some of their key properties. Hopefully by the end of the talk, you will be astonished by how worthwhile quivers can be in the study of algebra. This talk is accessible to all undergraduates, especially those familiar with vector spaces. Speaker: Nathan Reff Title: Quaternion Matrices and Gain Graphs Time: Wednesday, Oct. 18th, 2:45 - 3:45 pm Location: 104 Holmes Abstract: Gain graphs are a special kind of graph where each orientation of an edge is given a group value, which is the inverse of the group value assigned in the opposite orientation. If these edge values are chosen to be unit quaternions, then we can define matrices associated to these graphs so that their algebraic properties can be related to the original graph. In particular, we can find the left and right-eigenvalues associated to these matrices and bound them using graph parameters. The real challenge is that quaternions are not commutative over multiplication. I will define all of these things. Very little prior knowledge is necessary, except perhaps some linear algebra. Speaker: Howard Skogman Title: Kernel (method) Panic Time: Wednesday, Oct. 5th, 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B1 Holmes Abstract: The “kernel method” is a technique for using generating functions to solve a wide variety of problems. However, each type of problem may require its own “tricks” to make the method work. We will describe one combinatorial problem where the kernel method seems to lead to incorrect or absurd results. More importantly, I have not discovered the trick I need for this problem (or I have and I do not see it). Note that no familiarity with any of the above terms will be assumed in this talk. Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura Title: Problem Solving as a Path to Research Time: Thursday, May 4, 4:30 - 5:45 pm Location: 106 Holmes Abstract: The math of pizzas, pancakes, potatoes, cookies, trees, and many other subjects. Special appearances by Patrick and Sponge Bob. Speaker: John Steiner Title: Approximation of Fractals Time: Monday, April 24, 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: A fractal is a geometric object whose basic structure repeats at all scales of magnification. We will explore some unique and interesting fractals, the construction and approximation of these fractals, and how to calculate the dimensions. Using the prior results, we will then explore approximating the construction of fractals with an irrational dimension. Speaker: Tasneem Zaihra Title: Workshop on R: Long and Short of R in an Hour Time: Monday, Feb. 27, 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: R is a freely available language and environment for statistical computing and graphics that has become popular in academia and in many industries. This short workshop will introduce participants to using R with the help of RStudio ( IDE) in an integrated way. It is designed to be accessible to those with little or no experience with R, and will provide participants with skills, examples, and resources that they can use in their own teaching and research. Participants should bring a laptop to the session. About: The presenter has been using R to teach statistics to undergraduates at all levels as well as for her research and will share her approach and some favorite examples. Topics will include, building comprehensive html/pdf documents, which can include mathematical formula (tex) as well as R code and it’s corresponding output all put together. We will be using RStudio environment, which provides novices with a powerful but manageable set of tools, data visualization, basic statistical inference using R. Much of it will be facilitated using the mosaic package. Optional things you can do prior to workshop: Install or update R on your laptop. (Available at https://cran.r-project.org/) Install or update RStudio on your laptop (available at https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) Install the mosaic package and its dependencies on your laptop. (In RStudio, click on the Packages tab, then on Install, then type mosaic in the entry area and R should do its thing.) Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura Title: Numerical range and Aluthge transforms Time: Monday, Dec. 5, 2016 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: The numerical range of a matrix is a very sensitive set of values which encodes more information than the eigenvalues. The Aluthge transform of a matrix is a certain permutation of factors. Both are simple objects and lead to many open problems even for 3 by 3 matrices. Speaker: Nathan Reff Title: Open Problem: Oriented Hypergraphs and Associated Matrices Time: Wednesday Nov. 9, 2016 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract:For a given hypergraph, an orientation can be assigned to each vertex-edge incidence. These orientations are used to define the incidence, adjacency and Laplacian matrices. The adjacency and Laplacian matrices are particularly nice because they are symmetric, so their eigenvalues are real. A natural question arises: how are the eigenvalues of the adjacency and Laplacian matrices related to the original oriented hypergraph? In this talk, I will present a background on oriented hypergraphs, explain some of the known eigenvalue relationships, and give some current open problems. If time permits, I will show some applications of oriented hypergraphs to chemical reaction networks. Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura Title: Open Problem: Korenblum’s Constant Time: Wednesday Oct. 12, 2016 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: The setting is any vector space of complex functions defined for numbers of absolute value less than 1. In general, if the values of a function (in absolute value) are less than the values of another function at every point then the magnitude of the first function (considered as a vector) is less than the magnitude of the second function. That is, there is a preservation of order when we move from local to global. If, instead of considering the values everywhere in the disc we restrict to only the values in an annulus , there is no reason to expect such a preservation of order. Nevertheless, in many vector spaces of function this preservation of order is present. The phenomenon was conjectured by Korenblum in 1995 and it was proved to be true in a large class of spaces in 1999. This raised the question of finding the inner radius of the smallest annulus for which this happens. The value of this radius is called Korenblum’s constant. The exact value of it is not known. What we know today is that it is something between 0.14 and 0.67, with the last improvement dating from 2008. In 2014 Chakraborty and Solynin proved that if we restrict to polynomials of degree at most n then there is a particular Korenblum’s constant only for this kind of functions. As with the general case, the values of these polynomial constants are not known. Speaker: Howard Skogman Title: Open Problem: Maximal Moment Distributions of Character Sums Time: Wednesday Oct. 5, 2016 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: Given a set of numbers $S = \{a_1, a_2, a_3, …\}$ and an integers $k$, we define the $k$-th moment of the set to be the sum of the $k$-th powers of its elements, that is $$ m_k(S) = \sum_{i} a_i^k $$ In this talk we fix a positive integer $m$ and a prime number $p$ and consider the distribution of the largest moment of a set of $m$, distinct $p$-th complex roots of unity. For the case of $m = 2$ (that is a set of two distinct $p$-th roots of unity), we show that in fact there is only one value. However, if $m > 2$ the number of possible values in the distribution increases. Some natural (and completely open) questions that arise are: (a) Given $m$ and $p$ how many possible values are in the distribution? (b) What are those values? (c) Can we give any lower bounds on these values? Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura Title: Open Problem: Gauss - Lucas Theorem Generalizations Time: Monday, Sept. 19, 2016 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: For real functions, Rolle’s theorem tells us that in between two zeros of a function there is always a zero of the derivative. Gauss Lucas theorem shows a property of the same nature in the case of a complex polynomial: the zeros of the derivative are inside the smallest convex polygon containing the zeros of the polynomial. For example, for a polynomial of degree three, the zeros are the vertices of a triangle. The theorem says that the two zeros of the derivative are inside that triangle. For a polynomial of degree 4, if the zero form a convex quadrilateral, then the zeros of the derivative are inside it. However, there is the possibility that the 4 zeros of the polynomial do not for a convex quadrilateral. For example three of them can be the vertices of a triangle while the fourth is inside that triangle. The theorem still says that the three zeros of the derivative are inside the triangle. But where? Connecting the fourth point with the other 3, the triangle is divided into 3 smaller triangles. It was prove that only 2 of the three can have zeros of the derivative inside. It is not known if all three zeros of the derivative can be inside only one of the smaller triangle. Or how many of them can be on the sides. As the degree of the polynomial increases even less is known. Speaker: Howard Skogman Title: Open Problem: General Incomplete Gauss Sums and Lehmer Spirals Time: Monday, Sept. 12, 2016 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: Gauss sums are certain sums of complex n-th roots of unity. In 1973 D. H. Lehmer investigated incomplete versions and noticed that the incomplete sums spiral towards particular values. In fact he showed that almost all of the incomplete sums are located close to one of two points. In this talk we consider more general incomplete Gauss sums and consider similar graphs of the incomplete sums. Speaker: Howard Skogman (SUNY Brockport) Title: Introduction to Modular Forms Time: Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015 3:35 - 4:35 pm (note was rescheduled) Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: Modular forms (or Automorphic Forms) have become one of the most important tools in modern mathematics. They played essential roles in the resolution of Fermat’s Last Theorem in 1995 as well as in the ” Monstrous Moonshine Conjectures” also in what is known as the “Langland;’s Program”, in addition they also appear in “String; Theory” from theoretical physics. In this talk we will give a classical introduction to Modular Functions and Forms, we will discuss their definition, some motivation and some standard examples. This talk will be accessible to undergraduate and graduate students. Speaker: Daniel Gaile (University of Buffalo) Title: The Parametric t-test’s Latent Weakness Time: Monday Nov. 9, 2015 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: When a latent class structure is present, parametric t-tests conducted on the observed continuous variable can be anti-conservative. This problem is exacerbated by: A) test multiplicity across large numbers of manifest assays, each with a latent structure, and B) increased accuracy of the manifest assays to discriminate underlying latent structures. While it is not surprising that violations of the parametric t-test’s underlying assumptions can impact its performance, we demonstrate that latent state conditions can lead to profound overstatements of statistical significance and profound loss of error control. For example, we provide a motivating ‘toy’ data-set for which the parametric t-test quantifies the evidence against the null hypothesis as approximately 12.5 million to 1 when it should be quantified as approximately 250 to 1. This result is relevant in many modern experimental settings, such as pilot array / next-generation sequencing studies, where an underlying latent structure is either known to be true (e.g., methylation and array comparative genomic hybridization) or plausible (e.g., down/up-regulated gene networks). Our findings are also applicable to small animal studies (e.g., mouse and rat studies), for which latent state biological mechanisms are often plausible and the parametric t-test is often applied. Time permitting, we will briefly discuss the effect of latent structure on common distance estimators and present some methylation array results. Speaker: Dr. Rebecca Smith (SUNY Brockport) Title: Sorting things out with stacks Time: Wednesday Sept. 30, 3:35 - 4:35 pm Location: B2 Holmes Abstract: A stack is a restricted queue where entries may only enter and exit via the top. As such, a stack sorts using a “last in, first out” process. We shall use this machine with permutations. Mostly, we will be concerned with permutations simply as an arrangement of the numbers 1,2,3,…,n. However, there are some uses for more algebraic properties of permutations. Generally, one either tries to sort a permutation, meaning using a stack to obtain the identity permutation 123…n or one starts with a permutation (generally the identity) and determines which permutations can be generated using a stack. We will start with the problem of sorting permutations using a single stack. We will then talk about different restrictions or freedoms that can be applied as well as ways to string together more than one stack to create a larger machine. Speaker: Dr. Patrick Papadopulos (University of Rochester) Title: Math in a Factory: Algebraic Topology and Configuration Spaces Time: Tuesday, March 10, 2015 2 - 3 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract:In this talk, we will give an overview of some of the main components of Algebraic topology. In particular, we will introduce common objects and spaces that are studied. Our main goal, however, is to introduce the concept of a configuration space and focus on applications to real world problems. This talk will be aimed at undergraduate students with a basic understanding of point set topology and will include a number of pictures. Speaker: Dr. Nathan Reff and Dr. Howard Skogman (SUNY Brockport) Title: Hadamard Matrices and Oriented Hypergraphs II Time: Thursday February 26, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract:This talk will be a continuation of the previous talk. In particular Nathan will present the proof of the equivalency between Hadamard matrices and certain oriented hypergraphs. Howard will then review known constructions, along with (time permitting) equivalent problems, potential other constructions, and applications. Speaker: Dr. Nathan Reff (SUNY Brockport) Title: Hadamard Matrices and Oriented Hypergraphs Time: Thursday February 19, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract: An nxn matrix with all entries +1 or -1 whose rows are mutually orthogonal is called a Hadamard matrix. It is known that n must be 1,2 or a multiple of 4 for all Hadamard matrices, however it is not known whether Hadamard matrices exist for every n which is a multiple of 4. This problem of existence is well over a century old and is known as the Hadamard conjecture. A signed graph is a graph with edges labelled either +1 or -1. In this talk I will present a problem equivalent to the Hadamard conjecture which involves signed graphs and their associated matrices. Hadamard matrices enjoy a wide range of applications including a direct connection to error-correcting codes. If time permits, I will mention some known constructions. Speaker: Dr. Jason Morris (SUNY Brockport) Title: Does an infinite matrix have eigenvalues? Time: Thursday October 30, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract: For finite square matrices, we are usually taught to use the determinant to find eigenvalues. There is no easy analog of determinant in the case of infinite matrices, so we explain how to use the insolvability of Av=cv to characterize the so-called “spectral” values of A. It turns out that there are several types of insolvability, leading to a situation where some spectral values could be eigenvalues, and some not. This is the first of possibly several talks that will serve as an overview of spectral theory. The goal is to set a foundation to enable the study of relationships between infinite graphs and some matrices that represent them. Most of the topics should be accessible to students with some background in linear algebra (and in convergence of infinite series). Speaker: Dr. Howard Skogman (SUNY Brockport) Title: Covering Graphs, Part II Time: Thursday October 9, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract:We will go through more examples of the normal (or Galois) cover construction, along with related results. If there is time we will discuss block-diagonalizing the adjacency matrix or the universal cover of a graph. Speaker: Dr. Howard Skogman (SUNY Brockport) Title: Covering Graphs, Part I Time: Thursday October 2, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holme Abstract: We will define a covering graph, prove some results about their structure, discuss general constructions as well as normal (or Galois) covers and non-normal covering graphs. Speaker: Dr. Nathan Reff (SUNY Brockport) Title: Oriented gain graphs, oriented hypergraphs, line graphs and eigenvalues Time: Thursday September 25, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holme Abstract: We define line graphs of gain graphs and study matrix properties of complex unit gain graphs. As with graphs and signed graphs, there is a relationship between the incidence matrix of a complex unit gain graph and the adjacency matrix of the line graph. The line graph of a gain graph is defined using oriented gain graphs, a new structure that generalizes Zaslavsky’s oriented signed graphs and their line graphs. The line graph of an oriented hypergraph is similarly defined and will also be discussed. Speaker: Dr. Nathan Reff (SUNY Brockport) Title: Gain Graphs, Oriented Hypergraphs and Matrices Part II Time: Thursday September 18, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract: An oriented hypergraph is a hypergraph where each vertex-edge incidence is given a label of +1 or -1. Recently, there has been an interest in finding a suitable way to study matrices associated to hypergraphs. I will show how oriented hypergraphs provide a very natural setting to study matrices associated to hypergraphs, and introduce some eigenvalue properties. If time permits I will mention some potential projects related to these structures and their applications. Speaker: Dr. Nathan Reff (SUNY Brockport) Title: Gain Graphs, Oriented Hypergraphs and Matrices Time: Thursday September 11, 11 am - 12 pm Location: B6 Holmes Abstract: A gain graph is a graph where each orientation of an edge is given a group element, which is the inverse of the group element assigned to the opposite orientation. Complex unit gain graphs have particularly nice matrix properties which I will discuss. An oriented hypergraph is a hypergraph where each vertex-edge incidence is given a label of +1 or -1. Recently, there has been an interest in finding a suitable way to study matrices associated to hypergraphs. I will show how oriented hypergraphs provide a very natural setting to study matrices associated to hypergraphs, and introduce some eigenvalue properties. If time permits I will mention some potential projects related to these structures and their applications. Speaker: Dr. Aleksey S. Polunchenko (Binghamton University) Title: Suspect Something Fishy? How Statistics Can Help Detect It, Quickly Time: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Location: 105 Edwards Abstract:Statistics is a branch of mathematics concerned with rational decision-making among uncertainty. This talk aims to provide an introduction to the nook of statistics that deals with cases when a solution has to be worked out “on-the-go”, i.e. when time is a factor. The talk will focus on the quickest change-point detection problem, aka sequential change-point detection. Dr. Polunchenko will conduct a one-hour student discussion after the presentation! Speaker: Dr. Ernest Fokoue (Rochester Institute of Technology) Title: Discovering the Fascinating World of Big Data Predictive Analytics and Some Mathematical and Statistical Tools for Conquering It Time: Thursday, March 27, 2014 11 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes B6 Abstract:Dr. Fokoue will present attractive and appealing big data analytics problems and will identify some of the mathematical and statistical concepts that tend to appear almost ubiquitously in most statistical machine learning methods. Dr. Fokoue hopes to provide guidelines to mathematics, statistics and computer science professors as to some of the things they should emphasize in order to prepare students adequately for a potential career in modern data science. Speaker: Jonathan Lottes (SUNY Brockport) Title: Chaos and Dynamical Systems Time: Thursday, March 6, 2014 11 am - 11:30 am Location: Holmes B6 Abstract:This talk will give an introduction to some basic terms in dynamical systems and will focus on the sawtooth and reverse sawtooth functions. In particular, the fixed points, eventually fixed points, periodic points, and eventually periodic points will be discussed, as well as how the points of the two functions are related. Other orbits will be looked at to demonstrate the chaotic behavior of the functions. Speaker: Michelle Anderson (SUNY Brockport) Title: Modeling Cell Arrangement in Epithelial Tissue Time: Thursday, March 6, 2014, 11:30 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes B6 Abstract: We developed an off-lattice, 3D, particle-based model to simulate cell rearrangement in epithelial sheets. Our model assigns cells orientation and polarization in addition to position, volume, and shape. Including orientation and polarization in our model allowed us to add another facet of realism to individual cells and cell-to-cell interaction allowing us to more realistically simulate important developmental processes in collections of cells. Speaker: Dr. Mihai Bailesteanu (University of Rochester) Title: Spin(7) Manifolds - Old and New Time: Thursday, November 21, 2013, 11 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes B6 Abstract:Spin(7) Manifolds are 8 dimensional Riemannian manifolds that have a cross product on their tangent bundles which generate a 4-form. We can define some canonical vector fields on these manifolds, which in turn allow us to define some type of moment map. The goal of having a moment map is to study the topology of the underlying manifold. We will discuss some recent developments. Speaker: Zhuang Hou (University of Rochester) Title: Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) and Stochastic DDEs: Explosion property and applications Time: Thursday, November 14, 2013, 11 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes B6 Abstract: A DDE or SDDE is a differential equation where the increment of the solution not only depends on the value of the solution in the current time but also in the past. This type of equation is getting more and more important in several models. In this talk, I will talk about recent results about the explosion property of SDDE. And I have also joined the work to construct high dimensional DDE model of Genome-wide Dynamics Regulatory Networks. I will also talk about the model in Bio-statistics. Speaker: Dr. Julius Esunge (University of Mary Washington) Title: Generating Functions and the Moment Problem Time: Tuesday, October 29, 2013, 11 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes 205 Abstract:How much information is sufficient for a random variable? In particular, if we know the mean and variance can we uniquely specify the probability distribution of a random variable? We will consider such questions, together with more general items, and their applications. We will see the impact of these ideas in gambling, reproduction, actuarial science, and many other fields. Speaker: Dr. Howard Skogman Title: Towards a more realistic graph theory model Time: Thursday, September 26, 2013, 11 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes B6 Abstract:We will consider solutions to the “Heat Equation” on finite graphs. In particular, we will first consider graphs with constant edge weights, then deterministic but non-constant edge weights, and finally we will add a stochastic (random noise) component. Speaker: Dr. Gabriel Prajitura Title: The Leibniz Test Time: Tuesday, September 10, 2013, 11 am - 12 pm Location: Holmes 205 Abstract:We will present a general version of the Leibniz Test for series in which the usual ingredients (alternation of signs, and decreasing terms) are no longer present.

2018 MAA Seaway Section Meeting This two day event covered workshops, student poster presentations and discussions, and presentations from our distinguished invited speakers. Presentations covered topics across the field of mathematics with the goal to stir discussion and interest. Invited Speakers See the list of invited speakers and athe abstract of their talks below. - Eugenia Cheng, School of the Art Institute of Chicago - How To Bake Pi: making abstract mathematics palatable — Why does mathematics inspire love in some people and fear in others? Why do some people think mathematics is important for everyone while others think it is a collection of gibberish touching little of the world beyond the brains of some rare geniuses? Why do some think it is a creative art akin to poetry and music, while others think it is a boring tool for producing answers? In this talk I present mathematics as a way of thinking, and not just about numbers. I aim to show that math can be made fun, intriguing, and relevant for people of all ages, by means of hand-on activities, examples that everyone can relate to, and peculiar anecdotes. There will be a distinct emphasis on edible examples. - Satyan L. Devadoss, University of San Diego - The Shape of Associativity — Associativity is ubiquitous in mathematics. Unlike commutativity, its more popular cousin, associativity has for the most part taken a backseat in importance. But over the past few decades, this concept has blossomed and matured. We start with a brief look at how this has transpired, and then explore the visualization of associativity in the forms of polytopes, manifolds, and complexes. - Patti Frazer Lock, St. Lawrence University - Data Analysis in the Mathematics Curriculum — Statistics is one of the fastest growing fields nationally and globally. How does this growing interest in statistics and data science fit in with the mathematics curriculum? Should our math majors be exposed to data analysis? If so, what course or courses should they see? What should those courses look like? What recommendations do the national organizations make? And how can we meet those recommendations in a time of limited resources? We discuss the recommendations, the current status in the field, and ideas for implementing the recommendations. - Deanna Haunsperger, MAA President, Carleton College - Does Your Vote Count? — Are you frustrated that your candidate never wins? Does it seem like your vote doesn’t count? Maybe it doesn’t. Or at least not as much as the voting method with which you choose to tally the votes. Together we’ll take a glimpse into the important, interesting, paradoxical world of the mathematics behind tallying elections. - Jim Matthews, Siena College (IBL Special Session) - Mathematical Treats for Inquiring Minds —In this workshop we will share engaging materials that provide students from kindergarten through calculus with a learning environment based on inquiry. The materials are focused on mathematical problem solving. The problems (fairly) easily lead to students asking their own questions and they connect to broad mathematical topics including patterns, counting, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning, and functional relationships. While we work through workshop materials, we will discuss not only how specific problems can be used but we will also emphasize ways we might encourage pre-service and in-service teachers to incorporate more inquiry based lessons in their teaching.

About Us The Northwest Region Migrant Education Tutorial and Support Services (METS) is one of the eight regional offices in New York State’s Migrant Education Program. It is a federally funded supplemental program that provides direct educational programs and services to migrant-eligible children and youth, agricultural workers, fishers, and their families, within Monroe, Orleans, and Niagara Counties. The METS address the attributes and unique challenges that migrant students face in pursuing their educational goals, including: - mobility - educational disruption - cultural and language barriers - social isolation - health concerns - food insecurity - homelessness - poor living conditions - limited knowledge of US laws - regulations and customs - poverty - lack of transportation - other factors that inhibit such migratory children from doing well in school and making the transition to postsecondary education or employment With over 45 years of service, the Northwest Region Migrant Education Tutorial and Support Services Program has developed a high level of expertise in best practices for services. Our knowledgeable Migrant Educators recognize the attributes and unique challenges that migrant students face in pursuing their educational goals; they are also familiar with the many, often hidden, resources that migrant students bring to the educational process. Direct educational programs and services are provided to migrant children at homes and in schools, linking migrant families with necessary academic, social, and health services and providing direct services to migrant families in the areas of academic assistance, advocacy, coordination with schools and community agencies, and other outreach activities. The implementation of activities includes but is not limited to year-round strategic tutoring and academic support, home visits, a Summer School program (1-8 grade), home-based summer program, mentoring, educational and/or career counseling, strengthening family-school-community partnerships, parenting and preschool education, promoting parent and family engagement, advocacy services, support for youth who need to learn English, facilitating social-emotional well-being, fostering positive self-identity, and increasing students’ access to educational opportunities through promoting advocacy to self-advocacy and identity development. These service efforts ensure that all migratory children and youth have the opportunity to graduate from high school; earn a high school equivalency diploma; complete career and technical education courses; or succeed at other alternative educational opportunities to be ready for college, career, and life.
