On Wednesday, Feb. 14, Suarez will conduct a follow-up workshop in which participants will collaborate with community partners to design service-learning-based syllabi for courses in the 2024-25 academic year.
Eileen Gilroy and Jill Toftegaard
Eileen Gilroy and Jill Toftegaard, Communication Disorders and Sciences Department, were recently awarded a $100 mini grant from the Central New York Speech Language and Hearing Association (CNYSLHA). The grant is in honor of a past president for CNYSLHA, Sandy Ladd, who passed away in July 2014. As an advocate for individuals with disabilities, Ladd often used creative cooking and craft projects to work on many speech, language and communication goals in small and large groups, often collaboratively with other teachers or staff. CNYSLHA honors her memory by offering mini grants to enable projects or activities that members would typically have to pay for out of pocket.
The funds received will be used for a spring planting project with the clients of Liberty Resources Center for Brain Injury and Rehabilitation in Cortland, N.Y. Communication disorders and sciences graduate students have provided speech/language therapy in social groups throughout this academic year. For this project, the graduate students will work with individuals from the center in planning, cultivating and maintaining a community garden.

Moataz H. Emam
Moataz H. Emam, Physics Department, and physics graduate Jesse Chandler '14 collaborated on a research paper that was recently published in the Journal of Classical and Quantum Gravity. “Geodesic structure of five-dimensional non-asymptotically flat 2-branes” summarized research in the context of the superstring theory and studies the motion of light particles around a 2-brane, which is a higher dimensional generalization of black holes. This specific brane has interesting properties in that it has a gravitational field that doesn’t get weaker as one gets farther away from it.
