Established in 1984, Eta Sigma Gamma is the national professional health science honorary. The organization is designed specifically for professionals in public health and health education anywhere in the United States as well as other nations. In tradition of Greek usage, the letters Eta, Sigma, Gamma were chosen to represent the Greek equivalent of the letters H,S,C, the abbreviation for the term health science. The ideals of Eta Sigma Gamma are symbolized in its seal. The tri-dimensional concept is embodied in a triangle surrounded by three joined circles. The triangle is divided into four equilateral triangles, each carrying a symbol. The lamp of learning is in the center triangle, surrounded by an open book representing teaching, a microscope signifying research, and an outstretched hand representing service. These three elements form the basic purposes of the organization and the profession: teaching, research, and service. The unifying element in these purposes is symbolized by the lamp of learning, since it is through the learning process that each purpose is achieved. The primary purpose of Eta Sigma Gamma, from its beginnings in 1967, has been to further the professional competence and dedication of individual members of the health science profession. Further purposes are to: - Elevate the standards, ideals and ethics of health science professionals. - Help identify the health science discipline for colleagues in the field of education, related health fields and for the general public. - Help establish autonomy for the health science discipline as a distinct, separate, integral part of school and college curricula in matters concerning the health of the public, and to encourage and attract capable people to careers in the discipline. Membership for students with a Department of Public Health and Health Education major and a 2.7 GPA begins with initiation during the spring semester.

COVID-19 Update Due to COVID-19, some internship hour requirements were modified. Accreditation The Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, and Tourism’s undergraduate program is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Related Professions (COAPRT). The Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Related Professions (COAPRT) accredits baccalaureate programs in parks, recreation, tourism, sport management, event management, therapeutic recreation, and leisure studies offered at regionally accredited institutions within the United States and its territories, and at nationally accredited institutions in Canada and Mexico. Important Information Regarding Degree Mills Please watch this important video regarding degree and accreditation mills. According to CHEA, “Degree mills and accreditation mills mislead and harm. In the United States, degrees and certificates from mills may not be acknowledged by other institutions when students seek to transfer or go to graduate school. Employers may not acknowledge degrees and certificates from degree mills when providing tuition assistance for continuing education. “Accreditation” from an accreditation mill can mislead students and the public about the quality of an institution. In the presence of degree mills and accreditation mills, students may spend a good deal of money and receive neither an education nor a useable credential.” Learning and Teaching Assessment and Improvement Faculty in the Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, and Tourism will meet in late August/early September and late January/early February to review learning outcome assessments from the previous semester. Faculty are responsible for reporting results on performance measures associated with classes they teach and complete a closing the loop form. Faculty will present the results of performance measures and a general discussion considering course and program improvements to be made based on assessment results and other available data will occur at these meetings. The performance results and plans for continuous program improvement will be combined by the department assessment coordinator into a document made available to all faculty. The results and program improvements will also be shared with the Dean for the School of Education, Health, & Human Services by the Department Chair. It is expected that tests or assignments used in these assessment processes are to be used solely for the purpose of measuring student learning outcomes. Results are not to be used for instructor performance evaluations or other unrelated or tangentially related purposes. Further, in order to be in compliance with the Family Education Right to Privacy Act, no scores or data will be reported that could be linked with a specific individual student.

Professional Disposition Procedure for Recreation & Leisure Studies Major The development and maintenance of professional dispositions is foundational to the work of recreation and leisure practitioners. Recreation and leisure professionals work in a variety of capacities with diverse populations and must demonstrate respect, act with integrity, communicate effectively and professionally, be self-aware, and have a positive outlook. Without these characteristics, a recreation and leisure professional may be ineffective in working as a member of a team, connecting with diverse populations, and being viewed as a credible resource. The Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, & Tourism Undergraduate Program Committee has identified the following professional dispositions as being essential to candidate success in their academic endeavors and careers: Respect: Candidate is respectful to peers, faculty, staff, and community partners; respectfully self-advocates when appropriate; regards other individuals as being important; responds to and manages conflict with civility; is sensitive to other’s culture and individuality; demonstrates compassion and empathy in interactions with others. Integrity: Candidate is honest, truthful, and reliable; behaviors are congruent with personal values and the values of the recreation profession; acts in an ethical and moral manner; maintains confidentiality and discretion. Communication: Candidate is professional and respectful in written and verbal communication with peers, faculty, staff, and community partners; recognizes the need to work with and in collaboration with diverse individuals and communities; utilizes written and verbal communication to support collaboration, a professional personal brand, and civility. Self-Awareness: Candidate recognizes and manages personal emotions appropriately; demonstrates self-confidence; realistically self-appraises personal knowledge, attitudes, skills; demonstrates a growth mindset; employs reflection as a strategy for personal growth; open to considering the wide variety of new attitudes, values, beliefs, and opinions found in diverse communities. Positive Outlook: Candidate is approachable, cheerful, and optimistic; recognizes the successes and contributions of others; reframes obstacles as opportunities; demonstrates genuine enthusiasm and optimism regarding collaboration, diversity, and the field of recreation and leisure. Scheduling of Dispositions Assessment Professional dispositions are assessed regularly as candidates complete program requirements. In addition, dispositions may be assessed and reported on when candidates have engaged in specific instances of unprofessional behavior. Dispositions are assessed according to the following methodology. Assessment Methodology The assessment of a candidate’s status on professional dispositions focuses on value-driven conduct (i.e., observable behaviors) deemed essential to the functions of recreation practitioners; attitudes per se are not assessed (except to the extent they drive conduct). Each of the Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, & Tourism’s five dispositions are assessed via an instrument with a rubric scale and with opportunities for comments and/or reflections: Exemplary behavior: candidate consistently (about 90%+ of the time) demonstrates behavior that reflects positive professional dispositions; behaviors are consistent with those of the most effective recreation professionals and are never deemed inappropriate. Proficient behavior: candidate usually (approximately 75-89% of the time) demonstrates behavior that reflects positive professional dispositions; behaviors are consistent with good professional practice and are never deemed inappropriate. Developing behavior: candidate sporadically (approximately 40-74% of the time) demonstrates behavior that reflects positive professional dispositions; behaviors are consistent with good professional practice and are never deemed inappropriate, but there is considerable room for improvement with additional experience or training. Professionally unacceptable behavior: candidate rarely (less than 40% of the time) demonstrates behavior that reflects positive professional dispositions; behavior is not consistent with good professional practice or is deemed inappropriate. Formal assessments of professional dispositions will take place in the following courses: - Foundations of Recreation & Leisure (REL 202) – completed by candidates - Leadership & Professional Development in Recreation & Leisure (REL 401) – completed by course instructor & candidates - Internship in Recreation & Leisure Studies (PRO 403) – completed by practicum supervisor & candidates Rubrics completed by faculty and practicum supervisors become part of the candidate’s record, which is maintained in the Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, & Tourism. While it is expected that candidates aspire to exemplary behavior, proficient and developing behaviors are also considered acceptable for the purposes of completing the Recreation and Leisure Studies major. Professionally unacceptable behavior, however, may jeopardize either the candidate’s progress in, or completion of, the Recreation and Leisure Studies major. Faculty and practicum supervisors must inform the department chairperson (or his/her designee) of any instance of professionally unacceptable behavior observed either by themselves or by community-based professionals with whom they work. In addition to the scheduled assessment linked to required courses, university faculty, staff, or community partners must submit a written dispositional report to the department chairperson (or his/her designee) when he or she becomes aware of any candidate who engages in professionally unacceptable behavior relative to any disposition at any time. The report must include a description of the circumstances and the candidate’s behavior and refer to the “Three Levels of Professionally Unacceptable Behavior” described below. A report form will be housed on the Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, & Tourism Faculty Blackboard page. Professional Disposition Transgression Levels and Process Any instance of professionally unacceptable behavior, whether through faculty evaluation, practicum supervisor evaluation, or dispositional report, will be referred by the department chairperson (or his/her designee) to a departmental committee for consideration. The departmental chairperson (or his/her designee) must notify the candidate in writing that he or she has received either an evaluation or dispositional report indicative of professionally unacceptable behavior relative to the Professional Dispositions for Recreation and Leisure Studies Candidates and that the candidate must meet with the departmental committee. The committee must follow-up with the individual who submitted the evaluation or report to explore the rationale for their evaluation/report and must provide the candidate with the opportunity to respond to the evaluation/report and explain his or her behavior. If the committee determines that that the candidate’s behavior was not professionally unacceptable, the committee will recommend to the chairperson (or designee) that the evaluation from a regularly scheduled assessment be modified, or in the case of a dispositional report, the committee will recommend the report be dismissed. The chairperson (or designee) will assure the candidate’s record will be amended in accord with the committee’s recommendations. Note, for the purpose of these policies, and throughout this document, an “amended record” means that documentation pertaining to a charge of professionally unacceptable behavior is brought up to date to include final resolutions, such as committee decisions pertaining to the case and the results of any appeals. An “amended record” is not removed from the candidate’s file. Candidate files are stored under lock and key or in a password protected electronic file. If the committee determines that the candidate’s behavior was professionally unacceptable, it must consider the severity of the behavior and the candidate’s previous history of professionally unacceptable behavior (if any) in determining a course of action. The course of action is a function of the “level” of professionally unacceptable behavior as follows: Level 1: Ordinarily a first-time and less serious dispositional transgression. The candidate meets with the departmental committee and the discussion focuses on (1) the behavior that was observed, (2) reasons why the behavior is cause for the concern and why it is considered professionally unacceptable, (3) possible alternative behavioral responses in the future (if applicable), (4) a review of the Professional Dispositions for Recreation and Leisure Studies Candidates, and (5) a review of the Department’s policy on dispositions. The committee may prescribe some type of remedial activity (e.g., counseling, additional coursework, additional fieldwork, a volunteer experience, etc.) designed to improve the candidate’s professional disposition(s); it is possible that the prescribed activity may cause delays in the candidate’s normal progression through the program; the Department’s policy on dispositions also will be reviewed at this meeting. Level 2: Ordinarily a second-time or more serious dispositional transgression. The candidate meets with the departmental committee and the committee reviews the candidate’s behavior, and if appropriate, the candidate’s prior dispositional history; at their discretion, the committee may prescribe some type of remedial activity (e.g., counseling, additional coursework, additional fieldwork, a volunteer experience, etc.) designed to improve the candidate’s professional disposition(s); it is possible that the prescribed activity may cause delays in the candidate’s normal progression through the program; the Department’s policy on dispositions also will be reviewed at this meeting. Level 3: Ordinarily a third-time or very serious dispositional transgression resulting in program dismissal. The candidate meets with the departmental committee; the candidate’s behavior and prior dispositional history are reviewed, and the candidate is provided an opportunity to explain the behavior. The intent of the Department’s policy on the assessment of professional dispositions is that instances of professionally unacceptable behavior will be addressed incrementally and educationally. In cases where the professionally unacceptable behavior is deemed to be more egregious, however, (including, but not limited to, behaviors that place the physical and psychological health and safety of others at risk; behaviors that violate existing policies of the University or a practicum placement; and/or behaviors which are illegal) candidates with first-time transgressions may be assigned directly to Level 2 or Level 3 and candidates with second-time transgressions may be assigned directly to Level 3. Appeal of Departmental Committee Decisions If the department committee finds a level 1 or 2 disposition transgression, the candidate will be required to complete a remediation plan with designated follow up and consequences for failure to adhere to this plan. The candidate may appeal the finding in writing within five (5) business days to the department chairperson (or designee). If the department chairperson (or designee) upholds the appeal, the candidate’s record will be amended accordingly. If the chairperson (or designee) denies the appeal, that decision is final and no further appeal of a Level 1 or Level 2 transgression to the chair (or designee) is possible. Under either circumstance, the candidate is notified in writing of the chairperson’s (or designee’s) decision. The candidate may then make a written appeal to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) who will make a final decision regarding candidate status and notify the candidate and department chairperson (or designee). If the department committee determines that a Level 3 transgression has occurred, the candidate is notified in writing by the committee chair of the recommendation for dismissal from the program. To appeal, the candidate must respond in writing within five (5) business days to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) who determines if there may be appropriate appeal grounds (discrepancy in facts, findings, sanction level or due process). If so, the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) then appoints a Dispositions Review Committee to examine the facts, findings, sanction level or due process. The candidate is provided an opportunity to meet with the Dispositions Review Committee. At the discretion of the committee, the candidate has the opportunity to bring pertinent witnesses and/or advocates to the meeting. After reviewing the facts, findings, sanction level or due process, the Dispositions Review Committee notifies the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) of their recommendation in writing. The Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) makes the final decision regarding candidate status and notifies the candidate and department chairperson (or designee) in writing. Records are maintained in the Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation & Tourism under lock and key or in password protected electronic files. A candidate whose behavior has been found to be professionally unacceptable by the departmental committee and the Dispositions Review Committee at Level 3 and who has received a letter from the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) indicating that the candidate has been dismissed from the Recreation and Leisure Program will have five (5) business days to appeal the decision in writing to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee). The Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) has broad discretion in considering the appeal and may (1) convene an independent panel to review the case and provide recommendations to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee), (2) simply review the findings of the two previous committees to arrive at a decision, or (3) employ other strategies (including interactions with committee members, witnesses, and/or the candidate) to weigh the merit of the appeal. Under any circumstance, the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) is final (although the Provost retains discretion to review appeals). If the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) denies the appeal, the departmental and Dispositions Review Committee recommendations (including the candidate’s dismissal from the program) are upheld. If the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) rules in favor of the appeal, the transgression may be either dismissed or downgraded to a lower level, but in either case the candidate is restored to the program and the candidate’s record is amended. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, the candidate and the department chairperson (or designee) is notified in writing of the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services’ (or designee’s) decision. Candidate’s Rights Candidates have the following rights pertaining to the determination of professionally unacceptable behavior relative to the professional dispositions: - The candidate must be notified by the instructor in writing within five (5) business days if he or she has received an evaluation of professionally unacceptable behavior on any professional disposition during a regularly scheduled assessment OR if a dispositional report has been submitted to the department chairperson (or designee) relative to the candidate’s behavior. - The candidate must have the opportunity to respond to the instructor in writing within 5 business days of date of initial letter of correspondence to the evaluation or report and the opportunity to explain his/her behavior to a departmental committee. - The departmental committee must notify the candidate in writing within (5) business days of the findings of its review, including, as appropriate, the level of professionally unacceptable behavior. - The candidate has the right to appeal the findings of the departmental committee in writing within five (5) business days of date of departmental committee findings to the chairperson (or designee) of the home department for Level 1 and 2 transgressions. - For Level 1 and 2 transgressions, the candidate has the right to appeal the findings of the departmental chairperson (or designee) in writing. This must be done within five (5) business days of date of the chairperson’s (or designee’s) findings and be addressed to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee). - For Level 3 transgressions, the candidate has the right to appeal the findings of the departmental and Dispositions Review Committees in writing. This must be done within five (5) business days of the date of the written communiqué and be addressed to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee). - The Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee) makes the final decision regarding the charge of a Level 3 transgression and must notify the candidate and Department Chair (or designee) in writing within three (3) business days of date of departmental/Dispositions Review Committee findings. - The candidate may bring witnesses and/or an advocate to the meeting with the Dispositions Review Committee for Level 3 appeals (however, only members of the University community may serve as advocates and advocates may only address the committee when answering questions directed to them by committee members). - The candidate may continue to participate in any campus-based classes in which he/she is enrolled during the committee’s review or, if appropriate, during an appeal to the Dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services (or designee). However, the Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, & Tourism reserves the right to exclude the candidate from any field experience during the review and appeal processes. - Provided no other University policies have been violated, candidates who are dismissed from the Recreation and Leisure Studies program due to dispositional transgressions may pursue completion of another academic program on campus. Note, the policies and procedures described herein pertain only to a candidate’s status as a Recreation and Leisure Studies major and are not meant to supplant existing university-wide policies or procedures. Candidates are still subject to all university-wide policies and procedures. It is expected that when candidates go through existing systems on campus (e.g., a charge of academic dishonesty, a hearing with the student or administrative conduct board, a referral to the Student Behavioral Consultant team), the department chairperson will be informed of the outcomes of those circumstances. At that time, the department chairperson may decide to submit a dispositional report on the candidate. So, individuals affiliated with the Recreation and Leisure Studies major are subject to policies and procedures as students within the University and candidates within the unit. Recognition: The Department of Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation, & Tourism would like to thank the Professional Education Unit (PEU) and Dr. Linda Balog, Associate Dean of the Professional Education Unit, for allowing the modified use of the Policy on the Assessment of Professional Dispositions for Teacher Education Candidates.

COVID-19 Update Due to COVID-19, some internship hour requirements were modified. A quality internship can set you up for success in your field of study. This is why the Department of Recreation and Leisure makes it a requirement that our students participate in an internship before graduation. REL 307 This three credit field experience is performed during a summer semester. Students majoring or minoring in Recreation and Leisure Studies are required to take this course. REL 307 is designed to provide students with: - an early work experience so they can begin the process of using knowledge and skills learned in the classroom, - assistance with deciding what area of the recreation profession they wish to begin their career in, - practice in managing their professional time. Students may perform this field experience at any recreation or parks agency (public, nonprofit, tourism). Students are eligible to register for this course after completion of both REL 302 and REL 308 as well as attendance at the mandatory orientation meeting held each spring semester by the REL 307 coordinator. REL 403 REL 403 is a 15-credit course required by all students in the Recreation and Leisure Studies major. It is performed after ALL course work is completed. The goal of the internship is to provide a final preparation of the student for entry into their new profession in recreation, therapeutic recreation, or tourism. Students have an extremely wide choice of internship sites. All sites are previously approved by the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies to ensure appropriate site supervision, educational content, and student security and safety. Preparation for the REL 403 practicum is conducted through the PRO 401 course.

What You’ll Learn It’s nice to get out for some fresh air or a relaxing vacation, but it wouldn’t be the same without the efforts of professionals. It takes many people to organize an activity, or keep our parks clean and healthy. Majoring in Recreation and Leisure Studies gives you the knowledge and skills to be one of those people. You might like the Recreation and Leisure Studies major if you coordinate fun things to do for you and your friends, like big parties or fishing trips. You might also live an active lifestyle, or spend a lot of your time outdoors. - Curriculum As a Recreation and Leisure Studies major, you’ll be trained for management roles in the public, nonprofit, and government recreation related agencies. You can choose from three concentrations to tailor your experience: - Recreation Management prepares you to work in the field — literally. Organize activities for public parks and recreation agencies. - Tourism Management prepares you to work in professional positions in resorts and other tourism settings. - Therapeutic Recreation works with issues surrounding addictions and mental and physical disabilities. Before graduating, you’ll also be eligible for the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification. - Admission Requirements Next Deadline for Transfer Students Fall Semester: August 1Undergraduate Admissions - Internships Recreation and Leisure Studies majors complete two internships during the program. First you’ll spend a summer semester gaining some practical experience. Then during your senior year, you’ll take a more in-depth, local internship for full career preparation. That way, you leave the University with some career experience and a degree. - Career Outlook The Recreation and Leisure Studies major is about growth. Not just for you, but for your community, too. Event planners can find employment in tourism with resorts, amusement parks, and more. City and county recreation leaders manage facilities, plan youth sports programs, festivals, and other community events. A solid background in therapeutic recreation can help you earn the experience to manage nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, medical facilities or agencies. What’s Next?

Announcing the winners of the Poster Palooza Poster Contest for Scholars Day 2023. The Scholars Day committee, poster session volunteers, and contest judges were blown away by the diversity and quality of the presentations this year. The winners were selected from among the nearly 100 posters presented during the poster session. Congratulations to the winners! Thank you to everyone who participated. We hope to see you again next year! Judges Choice The Judges Choice award is determined by a panel of SUNY Brockport faculty and staff and is given to the poster presentation which best demonstrates original research, effective poster design, and compelling presentation. Winner: Karen Blank Faculty Advisor: Darson Rhodes, Ph.D. Poster Title: A Public Health Explosion: The University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) & The YMCA of Greater Rochester (YROC) Partnership Abstract: My internship experience at the University of Rochester’s Faculty Group Executive Office includes using a close lens and operational experience to evaluate the programs in this unique partnership between the URMC and YROC. Using the critical lens I have as a Y-retiree with a 22-year career at the YROC, I am able to utilize strong relationships and ask valuable questions for the URMC to use as they move forward in this impactful partnership. It is almost like a Public Health explosion when one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers and a local leading non-profit association converge. In addition to addressing the eight areas of responsibility that are essential for all of us as health education specialists, this partnership is able to use the large reach of both dynamic organizations to address the social determinants of health that are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. They include factors like socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood and physical environment, employment, and social support networks, as well as access to health care. Student Choice The Student Choice award is given to the best poster presentation as voted on by SUNY Brockport students. This year we have a three-way tie! Winner: Leah Bisgrove, Samuel Grey, Sarah Levine Faculty Advisors: Justin Faller, Ph.D. & Craig Mattern, Ph.D. Poster Title: The Effects of Antioxidants in Beet Root Juice Upon Muscle Oxygenation and Running Performance Abstract: Introduction: Beetroot juice (BRJ) has been shown to enhance exercise performance due to its high nitrate content, but the role of other compounds in BRJ, like betalains, remains unclear. Betalains are bioactive pigment compounds commonly found in the skin of beets and in BRJ and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if a betalain-rich concentrate plays a significant role in improving muscle oxygenation, running economy, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), rating of perceived exertion, heart rate and blood lactate. Methods: Seventeen collegiate male athletes (19 ± 1.75 years, 70.6 ± 8.1 kg, 176.8 ± 6.16 cm, and 12.8 ± .03 % body fat) participated in a randomized, double-blinded, crossover study. On two separate visits participants received either the supplement (100 mg of freeze-dried BRJ containing 25% betalains) or the placebo (100 mg of dextrose) after a 10-hour fast and a standardized breakfast. They then completed two running economy tests, and a VO2max assessment. Muscle oxygenation, rating of perceived exertion, heart rate, and blood lactic acid levels were also measured during the economy and VO2max assessments. Results/Conclusion: We concluded data collection at the end of February and are currently analyzing data through paired T-tests. Winner: Veronica Dailey Faculty Advisor: Natalie Svrcek, Ph.D. Poster Title: LGBTQ Inclusion in the Classroom Grades 3-6 Abstract: For my thesis project, I researched how to include LGBTQ students and families within the elementary classroom. From my research I concluded that their are two ways to most effectively do this. The first way is to read straight books through a “queer lens” with the students. The second way was to individualize/contextualize LGBTQ books themselves in the classroom. For both of these strategies, I created 5 unique lesson plans for a total of 10 lesson plans. These 10 lesson plans were put together to create a unit plan on LGBTQ inclusion in the classroom. Additionally, as part of my thesis project I created a brochure as well as a list of books/websites that teachers can use in the classroom for LGBTQ inclusion. Winner: Alyssa Gadoury Faculty Advisors: Andrew Baranauskas, Ph.D. & Michael Chislock, Ph.D. Poster Title: “A Water Analysis: The Green Victims of Rochester New York” Abstract: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established to set standards, monitor, research and enforce environmental protection to protect human health and the natural environment. Water pollution and its effect on all living life, didn’t take center stage until Earth experienced substantial amounts of harm physically, socially and economically which called for a desperate need for attention against green collar crime. The Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 legislation suggested ideas for water quality that have become the Clean Water Act (CWA). Although numerous strides have been made to tackle discrimination and inequality, the criminal justice system reveals that the social and economic gaps in society continue to widen. It becomes evident that as inequalities continue to surface, so do crime rates. Water quality equality becomes important to address as water becomes a diminishing essential resource for survival. The project tackles social justice and aims to assess surface water quality in Rochester, New York in areas of low crime and high crime to analyze if there is a correlation between high crime rate areas and lower quality of water. (Data collection and analyzation is still in process, no results have been concluded thus far).

Designing Your Poster There are many creative options for your poster design, and it is a simple process for the novice designer. Poster Dimensions & Setup - Your poster will be created as one slide in PowerPoint. - Under “Custom,” select your width and height. (Typical sizes range from 24” high x 36” wide to conference posters as large as 36” high x 48” wide. Be sure to select “Ensure Fit” to avoid lost information.) Design Tips Unless you are presenting some type of visual art or graphics project, information is king in poster design. Posters should be informative and graphically appealing. - The poster should clearly detail the project’s topic, thesis, scope, methodology, results, and conclusions. - Be sure to include: presenter name(s), co-authors, academic program, faculty advisor(s), and project title. (If presenting your poster at an off-campus event, SUNY Brockport should be included. Check the conference website for specific guidelines.) - Work drafts of the poster through your faculty advisor to be sure class or conference presentation guidelines are met before you print. Color Choices & Backgrounds - Maintain good contrast between the background color and the text color. - Colors on your computer monitor will not reproduce exactly on a shared screen as monitor color settings vary. You can expect that there will be a color shift of two or three shades. Graphics - Limit image resolution to 150 dpi to ensure ability to transfer slide to a shared screen. - All graphics should be pictures (.tif, .gif for transparency, .jpg for non-transparent images) inserted directly into PowerPoint (NOT linked from another program). The preferred image format for all inserted images is JPEG if you do not need a transparent background. - If you have graphs or charts from Excel to include in your poster, simply copy in Excel and paste into PowerPoint. - When necessary, don’t forget to caption images, tables, etc. for clarity. - Do not enlarge images after they have been inserted into PowerPoint. Text - It is best to use a font that is cross-platform to ensure that your poster retains the text, spacing, and look you want. If you use a downloaded font that is specific to one environment (i.e., only Mac or only Windows), you must embed that font in your PDF. - Rule of thumb for font sizes: Title 72-120; Subtitle 48-80; Section Headers 36-72; Body Text 24-48. - Sans-serif fonts are best for posters, particularly for the title, subtitle, and headers.

Preparing Performances - Rehearse your performance and consider attire, physical demeanor, and stage presence. - Garner feedback from faculty and peers as much as possible. - Prepare all necessary presentation notes, PowerPoint, props, costumes, musical/visual material, instruments, etc. - Record presentation with video at a distance or angle to capture entire performance. Recorded Videos for Poster or Asynchronous Presentations (for online classes ONLY) Each presenter will need to record their presentation and upload it to YouTube, as an “unlisted” (NOT PRIVATE) video. Once the video is recorded, using Kaltura or another screen recording software, save it to your laptop, drive, or thumb drive. Then, the student will need to login to YouTube using their login information, or their google account. You will use your account to upload your video to YouTube. How to upload a video to YouTube You will be asked to share a YouTube link of your presentation to [email protected] by April 3, 2023. Scholars Day Tips for all Presenters - Know the scheduled time and login information for your presentation. Login early; ensure you are in the correct session block/room. If relevant, que your PowerPoint presentation on your computer to be ready for screen sharing if applicable. Close all other browser tabs. - Introduce yourself to the session block host. They are there to support you. Provide information so they can introduce you before your presentation. - Bring/prepare presentation materials: notes, essay/talking points, visual aides, and/or any handouts for a screen share. - Charge your laptop to be sure you do not have issues partially through the presentation. To All Scholars Day Presenters - Be prepared to learn. This is an opportunity to confidently share your hard work and to humbly look forward to respectful questions and constructive feedback. - Present yourself well. Dress professionally, wear your name tag (if possible), turn off cell phone or personal computer (or turn off volume). - Good news: Being nervous does not hurt your credibility or authority. - Have fun and enjoy!

Help Golden Eagles Soar The School of Arts and Sciences prepares students for lifelong achievement by providing an enriching education and opportunities for experiential learning. Not all students have the resources to participate fully in these activities. Please join us by making a gift of any size to help keep a Brockport education within reach of all students. Together, we can establish a community that supports and creates opportunities for students to thrive in a world that is at once ever changing and interconnected. Our Priorities - Scholarship Support: Scholarships make Brockport education affordable for students and families. Since 1999, the estimated cost has increased by nearly 135% for an in-state undergraduate student. By growing scholarships, the University can recruit more students and ensure that they persist through their education. - Experiential Learning: Hands-on learning, especially outside of the classroom, enable students to develop professional skills, foster professional relationships, clarify career interests, and enhance employment prospects. It often comes with additional costs. Gifts from our community encourage students to participate in opportunities that prepare them for post-Brockport success. - Academic Innovation & Enrichment: Public funding for higher education continues to decrease. The need to invest in cutting-edge technology and to upgrade facilities that enhances the Brockport experience is growing. Private support is vital to funding unique department needs, programs, and initiatives. - The Golden Eagle Opportunity Fund: This fund provides emergency grants to our most vulnerable students to meet needs not met through traditional forms of student aid. It helps students pay their rent, utility bills, purchase food, gain access to technology for on-line instruction, cover medical expenses, transportation costs, and overcome other unforeseen financial challenges to continue their education. To date, the fund has awarded over 520 grants to students totaling nearly $200,000. Designate Your Gift Your philanthropy makes a difference in the delivery of our programs, in the lives of our students, and helps to Build a Better Brockport. Please support an area of the School that means the most to you and consider the options below. - The School of Arts & Sciences Fund (#690.01): Your gift will support scholarships, experiential learning opportunities, career preparedness programs, and other initiatives throughout the School. - Support a Specific Department: Make a gift to support department-specific programming, student activities, scholarships, collaborative research projects, and more. View the complete list of departmental funds here. - School of Arts & Sciences Student Experiential Learning Support Fund (#690.14): Your gift will enable students to take part in experiential learning (internships, research, etc.) or career development opportunities. This fund would support student travel, grants or stipends, supplies, and other expenses required to participate fully. Ways to Give - Donate Online: Make a one-time gift or an installment gift online with a credit card via our secure gift page. If you would like to support a specific fund within the School, please select “Designate my gift elsewhere and include both the name and number of the fund in the box to direct your gift. - Donate by Mail: Send a check, payable to the Brockport Foundation, to the address below.

All coursework is online and in asynchronous format, making it flexible for the working professional. In addition, the program can be completed either part-time or full-time depending on the needs of the student. Please note the Online Degree Completion program in Business Administration is designed to be a two-year program. We cannot guarantee the program can be completed in an accelerated period. However, we can work closely with you to plan your remaining course requirements to help you finish as soon as possible depending on course availability. Students must earn a minimum GPA of 2.5 in the seven foundation courses, with no grade lower than “C-” to earn admission to the major. Note that this 2.5 minimum GPA includes transfer grades. SUNY Brockport awards transfer credit for course work completed at institutions accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and other such regional accrediting bodies. Course work from other accredited institutions is accepted only upon departmental recommendation. You can transfer a maximum of 64 credits from any accredited two-year college. Therefore, although you may have completed more than 64 credits at your community college, as perhaps listed on your degree audit report, don’t forget that the degree audit will only apply 64 of your credits (those most useful) toward your Brockport degree. The maximum number of transfer credits that can be applied to your Brockport degree (a combination of two-year colleges and four-year colleges/non-college sources such as AP, IB, CLEP, etc.) is 90 credits. STAR-NY tutors are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are available Sundays through Thursdays from 7 - 11:59 pm Go to STAR-NY online tutoring, click “request a tutor” and login using your netID and password. Watch the brief STAR-NY Tutoring Video Writing Tutoring: Asynchronous tutoring is reserved for distance learners and students who are not available for Brockport or STAR-NY synchronous tutoring. Asynchronous writing tutoring does not take place in real time. Instead, you submit notes, an outline, or a draft along with your questions to ASC Writing Tutoring, and a tutor responds through email. The tutor will respond to your questions, make margin comments, and send your materials back to you within 5 business days. You may request an asynchronous follow-up session after you have had a chance to revise in response to the tutor’s comments. Course Specific Tutoring: Tutoring for specific courses is designed to help students who have questions about their course work that is specific to the content of the course. Tutoring for specific courses offers students the opportunity to discuss concepts presented in lectures or reading materials, learn problem-solving and critical thinking strategies, improve study skills, and develop learning strategies.

What You’ll Learn Economics is more than money. It’s about incentives and human choice. Economics is a powerful lens to understand how choices fit together into patterns, both good and bad, that no one intended. - Curriculum Our economics program is strongly rooted in both critical thinking and practical analytical skills. From small questions (what’s an effective way to organize a fishery?) to big questions (why did the Soviet Union fail?) to oddball questions (why don’t chimps have language?) learn the intricacies of economics. You’ll come away with both the rigorous concepts that help make sense of the world and the tools that help quantify it. - Admission Requirements Next Deadline for Transfer Students Fall Semester: August 1 - Undergraduate Research No matter what you’re interested in, there’s a way to apply economics to it. Prepare for a graduate career by working with a faculty member on a research project. - Career Outlook Economics majors are among the best-paid graduates right out of college due to their strong critical thinking and data skills.

Those who join Regular Investors in Business at Brockport (RIB2) support new program and product development, faculty and student development including conference attendance and sponsorship, ongoing market surveys and analysis, program specific marketing and promotion and School of Business and Management brand development. By design, the portfolio of initiatives evolves as the School identifies opportunities and becomes renowned for delivering on its triple-pronged mission of providing an excellent business education in a supportive environment, an extraordinary value, and an indispensable partner of the regional business and professional communities. Current Investors We would like to thank and acknowledge the following individuals and companies for supporting innovation and growth in The School of Business and Management through this critical initiative. Your commitment and confidence affirm our position in the business and professional education marketplace. A group of individuals and/or organizations who pledge $1,000 per year over five years (total of $5,000) to support the innovation and growth needs of the School of Business And Management at SUNY Brockport. In order to assure a predictable critical mass of resources for continuous improvement, we need 100 RIB2. New program and product development, faculty and student development including conference attendance and sponsorship, ongoing market surveys and analysis, program specific marketing and promotion, and School of Business and Management brand development are among the crucial needs for the School. By design, the portfolio of initiatives will evolve as the School identifies opportunities and becomes renowned for delivering on its triple-pronged mission of providing an excellent business education in a supportive environment, an extraordinary value, and an indispensable partner of the regional business and professional communities. Among the possible new programs the School believes may be valuable are those in innovation/ entrepreneurship, principled leadership, sustainable manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management, and foreign trade. To determine whether such initiatives have the potential to accrue value to our brand, substantial investigation and design effort is necessary. Resources from RIB2 enables us to make the necessary commitments without weakening our current portfolio of programs or activities. A second example for RIB2 funding is to support the Center for Student Success in the School. The Center is charged with helping students prepare for and identify meaningful co-curricular, active learning experiences; including internships, co-ops, service learning experiences and live consulting opportunities. These experiences are tied to the mission of the School and designed to add value to students’ professional resumes. Finally, another example is to invest in building faculty competence and confidence in adapting interactive technologies to improve the reach and effectiveness of our degree and non-degree products. One of the main impediments to broader adoption of synchronous and co-located learning technologies is faculty unfamiliarity with what is available and confidence in how these tools can add value to our portfolio. The School’s Dean’s Advisory Board will receive periodic updates on the initiatives supported by RIB2 resources and an annual report will be provided to all Regular Investors, showing the financial status of the fund as well as the status of all activities made possible through the generosity of the Regular Investors. As a new School fashioned from the previous Department of Business Administration and Economics, we are the newest competitor in a robust higher education market in Western New York. Unlike our better-known competitors, we have no dedicated endowment to provide the predictable flow of resources needed for the kinds of activities in which we must engage to fulfill our dynamic mission. As a public institution, our public purpose is essential to the future and development of the region. In such a competitive environment and with so much at stake, developing new curriculum and career readiness programs and recruiting and retaining highly qualified faculty, will establish our brand identity and affirm our position in the region’s business and professional education marketplace. Through this effort, the School will demonstrate to University leadership the confidence they place in us is well founded and we will be a full partner in realizing the SUNY Brockport vision of “building meaningful lives and vibrant communities”. In short, the School of Business and Management at Brockport is already an excellent place to study, learn, teach and serve. We cannot afford to keep it a secret any longer.

Take a Peak Inside Hartwell Hall - Home of the School of Business & Management School News Dr. Lerong He Promoted to Associate Dean We are excited to announce that Dr. Lerong He is the new Associate Dean of the School of Business and Management. Dr. He has a long and illustrious career with SUNY Brockport – starting with joining as an Assistant Professor, earning promotion to Associate Professor then Professor, becoming Chair of the Department of Business Administration, and serving for the last year as Interim Associate Dean. Please join us in congratulating Dr. He! Why Business at Brockport? - Accredited, Affordable & Distinctive! - Generous Financial Support - Distinctive Business Specializations - Immersive Learning Environment - Excellent and Caring Faculty - Numerous Student Clubs - Dedicated Support Staff Program Spotlight B.S. Business Administration, Business Analytics Concentration Ever wonder how… - …dating sites match couples? - …airlines set prices for flights? - …Zillow determines Zestimates? - …Netflix recommends shows/movies? - …fraudulent transactions are identified? Brockport’s B.S. Business Administration, Business Analytics program will find the answer to these questions and more. Students will be fully prepared for data-enabled jobs in many business-related career fields. Our faculty will introduce students to the fundamental business analytics concepts and tools needed to make data driven decisions to create value and address issues in organizations. Students will learn some of the major business analytics techniques including data visualization, statistical data analysis, data mining, simulation and optimization. Faculty will emphasize applications of the models and students will gain hands-on experience with software tools such as Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and R. Students in this spring’s BUS 404 Business Analytics class researched publicly available datasets to identify trends, characteristics, and properties related to MEDICARE usage. Using these datasets, students were able to see which hospitals and which treatments had the highest total cost in each state and how much cost was covered by MEDICARE. Transfer Student Spotlight Name: Jerrod Hunter Transfer Institution: Corning Community College Major: Double major, B.S. Accounting and Finance Expected Graduation: May 2021 What drew you to SUNY Brockport? I knew I wanted to transfer to another SUNY college to maximize my transferable credits. As I started looking into SUNY colleges I came across SUNY Brockport and SUNY Geneseo, which were both about 1-2 hours away from my home. As I did some digging into each school, Brockport started to seem like a better fit for me. It was also farther away from home, so Brockport gave me an opportunity to get out of my comfort zone by getting out into the world and being more on my own away from home. What are the benefits of being a student in the School of Business? I love the class sizes because they are small enough that you can get plenty of help from your instructor if needed. The advisors I have had during my time here have been very helpful. They typically have a lot of experience in their fields and can help you figure out which path you may want to take. The Center for Student Success will take your career goals and help you along the way as much as they can, through resume revisions, professional portraits or even finding you employers that you can apply to. What are the most important skills you will take from your curricular experiences? What about your co-curricular or extracurricular experiences? One of the best new curricular experiences, and I recommend it to any accounting major interested in tax accounting, is a tax practicum where we get real world tax experience and complete real returns through VITA to try and get back as much money as we can for the community. There have also been many extracurricular experiences offered throughout my time here such as, visiting accounting firms, club activities, and speeches/interviews where you can speak with people from different careers. What advice do you have for current students? Join clubs that are related to your major so you can get some information about your major and make connections, because that may help you get an internship or job down the road. School Events J.P. Morgan The School of Business’ Accounting Society was excited to host Mr. Tom Zeng, Managing Director at J.P.Morgan for a virtual presentation this spring. Mr. Zeng discussed his experience working at various Fortune 500 companies, talked about what it’s like working in New York City and shared invaluable advice with our students.

https://www2.brockport.edu/academics/school-business-management/student-success/advisement/process/
Advisement Process All students within the School of Business are assigned to an advisor. - First-semester Freshmen are assigned to an APS (Academic Planning Seminar) advisor. - ALL other students (2nd-semester Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and Transfer students) are assigned to a School of Business faculty advisor related to their program of study. The advisor’s name will then appear at the top of the student’s Degree Works degree audit. - Students will meet with their faculty advisor at least once a semester to discuss registration for the following semester and to receive an Advisement Key Number. - In the event a student cannot meet with their assigned faculty advisor, an advisor from the Center for Student Success can provide advisement. - Prior to the student’s advisement meeting, they are expected to review their degree audit for the purpose of determining remaining degree requirements, consult with the online course schedule and prepare a proposed schedule of classes for the following semester. Advisors assist students by reviewing the courses the students select and by answering questions about degree requirements, course sequencing, transfer course work, electives, careers, and graduate school. Advisors will not create a schedule for their advisees. The advisor and advisee relationship can be a very beneficial experience, when approached correctly. As students learn to navigate their academic and career paths, advisors are available to discuss academic course planning, career options, study abroad and research projects. Faculty advisors assist students in academic planning, but students are ultimately responsible for knowing and meeting their degree requirements as specified in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog and on their degree audit.

The School of Business offers ample opportunities for students to participate in organizations that enrich their academic experience. Student clubs generally have an academic area of focus, but also offer leadership, professional networking, and social opportunities. While each group has a faculty advisor, the clubs are student led. Main Page Content Several of the clubs organize trips to visit companies and organizations within their industry. Students get to experience a snapshot of life in the real-world and meet professionals in their future field. All of the clubs have bulletin boards along the main first floor business hallway in Hartwell, so check them frequently for information on meeting schedules and upcoming events. Accounting Society This student organization is very active and is focused on professional development and networking with accounting professionals. The Accounting Society meets on a bi-weekly basis and sponsors a variety of speakers to help club members understand the rich opportunities in the profession. Brockport Management Association The Brockport Management Association strives to advance the professional skills, connections, and opportunities of Brockport students by hosting speakers, attending conferences, and connecting with businesses and professional organizations in the Rochester area. Finance Club This student group focuses on those interested in a career in Finance. In addition to guest speakers and social events, the club has organized teams to compete in various simulated trading competitions, including the prestigious Rotman International Trading Competition in Toronto. International Business Club This club focuses on students who are interested in conducting business in the global marketplace. The goal of the club is to create and promote a channel through which students can raise awareness of international business and its environment. To fulfill this goal, the club sponsors guest speakers, debates, annual trips to business events and other excursions to expose its members to networking and educational opportunities. Marketing Club This club focuses on the interests of marketing majors. The club plans a variety of activities including field trips, professional speakers, and other events that deepen the understanding of how marketing works and what opportunities the field offers. In previous years, the club took a trip to the annual National Direct Marketing Conference in New York City, which was a highlight of the year. The Network The Network is a student-directed organization that seeks to help students establish and build their professional network, regardless of major. Through its meetings, events, and activities, the Network seeks to network business students to each other, other campus constituencies, local business professionals and organizations, alumni, and the community at large. We are particularly interested in helping transfer and commuting students connect with the broader campus community. Active members of the Network have myriad opportunities to develop or enhance their leadership and community service profiles; this helps students build a competitive resume. Interested students should send an email to [email protected] to receive information about upcoming meetings and events. Women in Business Association The Women in Business Association is designed to support, encourage and inspire women with an interest in business. The group provides opportunities to explore programs and careers in business and offers valuable skill building and career related events. Our goal is for students to build long-lasting networks among peers and linkages to the business community, and we plan to purposefully give back to our community. This association is intended to serve a diverse population and is open to any and all students who have a genuine interest in succeeding in business.

https://www2.brockport.edu/academics/school-business-management/student-success/internships/
The School of Business and Management believes strongly in our students gaining applied work experiences in their desired career fields prior to graduation. Internships provide students with the opportunity to develop marketable skills along with professional contacts while increasing their confidence and self-awareness. Internships also help further define career interests and goals. Students that obtain internships are provided with career related experience which makes them better equipped for the job market after graduation. Initial Internship Considerations DETERMINE YOUR DESIRED FIELD Internships occur in marketing, finance, accounting, business, and many more. DETERMINE TIME & PLACE Where geographically do you want to do the internship? Which semester? How much time can you commit to an internship? 10 hours? 20 hours? Full-time? Often the hours on site are worked out between you and the sponsoring organization. PAID VS. UNPAID Some, not all, internships are paid experiences. Can you plan to take an unpaid internship for ten hours a week? A short-term sacrifice of an unpaid internship will have long lasting dividends when applying for the first permanent job upon graduation. CREDIT VS. NON-CREDIT Determine whether you need upper-level business credit or general elective credit, as well as your eligibility. CREATE A TARGETED RESUME AND COVER LETTER. BE AWARE OF APPLICATION DEADLINES. IDENTIFY A COMPANY Think of a company that needs extra help vs. a company that could offer you an internship. Internships for Credit All business majors are encouraged to complete at least one internship prior to graduation. In fact, 94% of newly hired graduates participated in an internship or co-op prior to graduation (NACE Experiential Education survey). Business Internship Program for Academic Credit ACC 498 and BUS 498 internship credit count as an upper-level business elective for either 3-or 6-credits. To earn 3-credits, interns work a minimum of 120 hours and to earn 6-credits, interns work a minimum of 240 hours. The internship can be completed in either semester or summer break. ELIGIBILITY ACC 498 and BUS 498 are open to all juniors and seniors majoring in Accounting, Business Administration, Finance, Marketing, or International Business. Students must have an overall 2.75 GPA and a 2.75 GPA in the major. Students can complete a maximum of two internship experiences for credit through the School of Business. Note, students may not use the same experience twice. APPLICATION PROCESS Students interested in earning ACC 498 or BUS 498 credit should complete an Internship Applicationand Company Sponsor Form, create or update a resume and submit all materials to the School of Business and Management office in Hartwell 119.

Guidelines & Procedures for Undergraduate Programs & Courses All undergraduate students majoring in School of Business and Management academic programs are bound by the guidelines and procedures below. - Changes in Degree Requirements Students must meet the degree requirements in effect at the time they matriculate (at the time they are formally accepted by SUNY Brockport for admission or readmission into a degree program). The School continuously revises its programs in response to changes in the business environment and the changing expectations of employers. Therefore, the degree requirements listed in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog may not be current. Students and prospective students should check the School’s web site for the most current program requirements, descriptions, and course offerings. - Advisement Students majoring in the School’s programs will be assigned a business faculty advisor when they declare their intent to major in business. The advisor’s name will then appear at the top of the student’s Degree Audit Report (DARS). After an advisor has been assigned, students are required to meet with their advisor each semester and are expected to: - Bring a copy of their degree audit report to the meeting. - Prior to the meeting, consult their degree audit report for the purpose of determining remaining degree requirements - Prior to the meeting, prepare a proposed schedule of classes for the following semester. Advisors assist students by reviewing the courses the students select each semester and by answering questions about degree requirements, course sequencing, transfer course work, electives, careers and graduate school. Advisors will not create a schedules for their advisees. - Prior to the meeting, consult with the online course schedule to confirm that the classes in the student’s proposed schedule are still open, making adjustments as necessary. It is the advisor’s prerogative to decline to meet with students who fail to meet these expectations, i.e., students who are unprepared. Unprepared students will be required to reschedule their meeting at a later date, which may result in courses filling before the student has the opportunity to register. This, in turn, may delay the student’s graduation. Faculty advisors assist students in academic planning, but students are ultimately responsible for knowing and meeting their degree requirements as specified in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog and on their degree audit. Please note that the School generally restricts its courses to students enrolled in its major or minor programs. Certain courses offered by other schools — such as CIS217, ENG 302, MTH 244, and MTH 211, BUS 475 are also reserved for business students. - Registration Each semester, the University will publish a schedule of the classes available the following semester. A student’s registration date and time will vary by class rank with seniors getting first priority, followed by juniors, etc. A registration schedule is sent to each student and it is their responsibility to know what day they are eligible to register. A student’s registration date and time will vary by class rank and last name. Students must consult with their advisor and obtain an advisement Personal Identification Number (PIN) prior to registration for the following semester. Students should contact their advisor at least two weeks in advance of their registration date for the purpose of understanding how to schedule advisement. Advisors’ office hours will be posted on their office door. Additional time slots are often available during the advising season. Please contact your advisors for this information. Some advisors work by appointment while others work on a drop-in basis. Voice and email messages left for advisors should include the student’s name, phone number, e-mail address, and times when the advisor may contact the student. Please speak slowly and clearly when leaving voice mail messages. Students who are unable to arrange advisement with their designated advisor, because of work or class schedule conflicts, should contact the Center for Student Success in Hartwell 100 or by calling, 585-395-5539. Students are expected to work with their primary advisor if possible. Students who do not contact their faculty advisor on a timely basis or who register for courses after their designated registration date will often find themselves closed out of required courses, causing the students’ graduation date to be delayed. - Closed Courses The School sets enrollment caps on each course offered. Registration into closed business courses is controlled by the School and not by the instructor (i.e., an instructor cannot give permission to add into a closed course) and a waitlist is utilized. All courses taught by business school faculty (those with a prefix of ACC, BUS, or ECN) utilize a waitlist. Should a student prefer a course that is already closed at time of registration, they can add themselves to the waitlist. This is an automated process and the system generates an email to a student when a seat opens up. The waitlist in no way guarantees a seat in the class. Students who fail to register during their designated registration period will not automatically be added to closed sections. As such, it is important that each student register at his or her designated time. - Required Course Grades An overall average of 2.0 is required to complete any major or minor* offered by the School of Business and Management. In general, students majoring in the School’s programs need to earn a grade of at least “C-” in a course to count the course toward a degree requirement. However, accounting majors must earn at least a “C” in their accounting courses (ACC prefix on course number). - Course Retake Limitation/Three Strikes Policy** To satisfy the minimum grade requirement described in 5 above, students may not repeat a business course more than three times at Brockport unless approved by the department chair. Students who are unable to earn the required grade after three attempts will be advised to reconsider whether a business major is an appropriate choice.. Please note: This rule applies only to School of Business and Management courses (ACC, BUS and ECN prefixes), ENG 302 and CIS 217. - Transfer Course and Grade Policy In general, a grade of “C-” or higher is required for transferred courses to be used to satisfy major, program entrance requirements, corequisite, core and specialty area course requirements. However, accounting majors need to earn a grade of “C” or higher in any required accounting course (ACC prefix) that is to be transferred. - Requests for Transfer Credit The University maintains a large database of transfer course equivalencies. Courses from other schools are often automatically transferred as equivalent to a specific course at SUNY Brockport. If a course has been transferred as equivalent to a Brockport course, the equivalency will be shown on the student’s degree audit. Other times, however, courses are transferred for general credit, but no specific course equivalency is indicated. If you believe that a course taken elsewhere is equivalent to a specific SUNY Brockport course, you will need to complete a course equivalency transfer request form (available at the Center for Student Success, 100 Hartwell Hall) and provide documentation of equivalency (e.g., a detailed syllabus). Submit the form and the documentation to the Center for Student Success. Your request will then be evaluated in accordance with the school specific process for evaluation of transfer requests. The student cannot receive transfer credit unless both the school and the University approve the transferred courses, and the number of courses transferred is subject to the residency requirements of the University and school. After matriculating at SUNY Brockport, students must take all 400-level school courses at SUNY Brockport. No two-year college course work will be transferred as equivalent to any 400-level course offered by the school. Students must complete BUS 475 Strategic Management at SUNY Brockport. - Residency Requirement At least one half of the course work required to complete any School of Business major or minor must be taken at SUNY Brockport. Additionally, certain courses cannot be transferred. These courses must be taken at SUNY Brockport. - Participation in Assessment Activities The School of Business and Management administers various assessment instruments throughout the curricula of its programs. Assessment activities may take the form of exams, exercises or surveys. Assessment data are used for quality control and program improvement. Many of the school’s program improvement efforts are based on assessment results. However, assessment results are valid only when students give their serious participation and best effort. As such, students are required, as a condition of enrollment in any of the School’s courses, to participate in assessment activities and to give their best and honest effort in all assessment exercises administered by the school. Assessment activities administered in a course are considered a course requirement. This course requirement is as important as attendance, homework, or other exams. Students who are absent when assessment exercises are conducted may be required to repeat the exercise as a condition of passing the course. - Internships The School of Business encourages student participation in internship experiences that are relevant to the student’s degree and area of specialization. Increasingly, employers seek to hire individuals with relevant work experience. An internship is not required for graduation, but students without significant work experience (relevant to their major) are strongly encouraged to complete at least one internship experience. The School of Business and Management limits the number of credits and internship experiences a student may complete to a maximum of 12 credits and two internship experiences. However, internship credit may not substitute for other School or University requirements. Information on internship programs and procedures may be obtained from the Center for Student Success in 100 Hartwell or online. - Academic Dishonesty (Cheating) The definitions of academic dishonesty can be found by clicking here. All students in the School’s programs are bound by the definitions and policies described in this document. The School reserves the right to expel, from its programs and courses, any student found to be engaged in premeditated acts of academic dishonesty. This policy is strictly enforced. Your first offense may be your only offense; there are no warnings. All work and assignments completed in the school’s courses should be assumed to be individual assignments unless you have received explicit permission from the instructor to work with one or more partners. The Student Policies section of the website contains important information every student should know about campus safety, codes of student conduct, and more. - Student Conduct Students are expected to treat each other, their instructor, persons in charge, and the school’s staff with common courtesy, decency and respect. Students will recognize the instructor’s authority to lead and direct classroom activities. Students will refrain from all behaviors that interfere with the teaching and learning process as well as behaviors that are disrespectful or belligerent to faculty and staff. All behaviors that, in the judgment of the instructor or other school representative, interfere with the teaching/learning process will be considered disruptive. Campus policies on disruptive behavior and students are detailed in the Student Policies section of the website. Disruptive students may be asked by the instructor to leave the classroom; students refusing to do so will be escorted from the premises by University Police. Students who are consistently or seriously disruptive will be dismissed from the department’s programs and may be expelled from the University. - School of Business Communications The School uses email and Blackboard to communicate important announcements, changes in class times and course offerings, new policies, information about school events, etc. - Students are responsible for reading communications from the school and responding accordingly. - School communiqués will be directed to the student e-mail address provided by the University. If you have any questions pertaining to how to access your e-mail account, call the Information Technology Help Desk at (585) 395-5151 for assistance in this regard. - The School’s e-mail list-serve is for official school communiqués only, and all communiqués will originate from the School of Business and Management office. Under no circumstance is any student allowed to broadcast messages using this list-serve. Unauthorized use of the list-serve will be taken very seriously and the offender referred to the campus Judicial System for appropriate action. - Course Prerequisites 19) Course Prerequisites: Many of the school’s courses have prerequisite courses. The Undergraduate Studies Catalog details the prerequisites for all established courses; for new courses not listed in the catalog, students should speak with the instructor. The prerequisites for a course must be completed prior to registration for the course. Students who are found to be deficient in the prerequisites for a course may be dropped from the course. In particular, the courses BUS 325 Principles of Finance and BUS 475 Strategic Management have a sizeable number of prerequisites. Students who fail to complete prerequisites for these courses in a planned and timely basis are likely to find that they will not be able to graduate as planned. - Timely Completion of Program Entrance Requirement Students admitted to the University are not automatically admitted to the school’s programs. Students must first meet program entrance requirements, which include prescribed course work. Program entrance requirements vary by degree program. - Full-time students entering as freshmen are expected to complete program entrance requirement course work by the first semester of their junior year. - Full-time students transferring with an associate degree in business are expected to complete program entrance requirement course work in their first semester at Brockport. - Part-time students are expected to complete program entrance requirement courses before beginning 400-level business courses. Timely completion of program entrance requirements are the student’s responsibility. Failure to complete program entrance requirements on a timely basis may delay the student’s graduation. Students pursuing a degree in the School of Business and Management need to pay particular attention to sequencing their courses and the declaration of Major. In order to potentially finish their degrees in four years (eight semesters) students will need to finish a set of program entrance requirements, declare their major, and complete requirements for specific courses in a timely manner. All 400-level courses are to be taken by majors and minors only.

https://www2.brockport.edu/academics/school-business-management/student-success/requirements/
Most students within the School of Business & Management begin as “intents to major”, for example, a freshman or transfer student may enter the University as an “accounting intent” major. As intents to major, students are expected to work on completing the program entrance requirements and some major core requirements. This period of intent, also allows students to determine if a business program is the correct major for them. How do I declare my major? Students must successfully complete the program entrance requirements (foundation prerequisites) to become a declared major. Students are expected to complete the program entrance requirements by the end of their sophomore year. Only students who have declared their major will be able to take 400-level business courses. Students should refer to their degree audit in Degree Works and work with their faculty advisor or the Center for Student Success to ensure all requirements are met.

Mission We provide School of Business and Management undergraduate students a unique and realistic learning experience through security evaluation and portfolio management within a discovery-oriented and supportive network. Overview Thanks to the support of the Wade Brothers, the Wade Investment Fund will provide students the opportunity to manage an investment portfolio.. As such, students will be responsible for evaluating securities, deciding when to buy and sell securities, and managing the portfolio among other responsibilities. This hands-on experience provides advanced training to students in the field of finance and allows them to manage a real-money portfolio of investments rather than running simulations with hypothetical funds. Training students to manage and administer a real-money investment portfolio is rare among business schools across the country and the experience gained has proved invaluable. The Wade Investment Fund will provide enormous benefits to students because it gives them practice in applying the skills they have learned in their academic careers. In addition to improving quantitative and qualitative research skills, the Wade Investment Fund also advances career opportunities after graduation. The program provides students hands-on training in equity valuation and portfolio management with guidance from industry experts and supervision by faculty. Fundraising The fundraising goal to launch the Wade Investment Fund is $100,000 with a start date of fall semester 2022. Once this goal is met, we will continue to raise funds for this initiative so students can gain an enhanced experience – one that allows for investing in both equities and fixed income securities. Make a one-time gift or an installment gift online with a credit card via our secure gift webpage. Make sure you designate the gift to the Wade Investment Fund. Or you may send a check payable to the Brockport Foundation to: Division of Advancement SUNY Brockport 350 New Campus Drive Brockport NY 14420 *Please include in the memo section of your check Wade Investment Fund. The Fund The Wade Investment Fund is to be managed as a diversified, actively managed, long-only fund run by student analysts and portfolio managers. The student teams will meet on a weekly basis in the fall and spring semesters to exchange ideas and work together to identify security positions whose profile is consistent with the fund’s investment objectives and are deemed to be undervalued by the team. The structure and operations of the fund will be laid out in an Investment and Internal Controls Policy Statement. The fund will be held by the Brockport Foundation and follow guidelines for trading and positions provided by the Foundation’s Finance and Investment Committee. A faculty advisor and an Oversight Board of University alumni and friends will provide guidance and support. At the end of each semester, students will present the performance result, including a discussion of strategy and performance attribution, to the Oversight Board. This will be done at an event to which students, alumni and friends will be invited. Every year, the Wade Investment Fund will publish an annual report for the community. Eventually, when a sufficient track record is established, the plan is to claim GIPS (Global Investment Performance Standards)® compliance, making it one of the few (if not the only) student managed fund that is GIPS compliant. The fund will start as an equity fund and once sufficient funding is obtained; the plan is to add fixed income securities. This will enable students to understand the value of tactical and strategic asset allocation. The program provides students hands-on training in equity valuation and portfolio management with guidance from industry experts and supervision by faculty. Students will receive three credits as part of the class over a two-semester sequence. They will start as analysts in the fall semester and upon satisfactory performance, will be promoted to portfolio managers in the spring semester. Entry to the class will be by the permission/selection of the faculty advisor. Registration will be through an already existing course entitled Seminar in Finance (BUS 428).

Charles Wade ’06 Chuck Wade joined the Brighton Securities team in 2012 after an award-winning career in broadcasting with 13WHAM-TV. As a journalist, he learned the value of asking good questions and listening for answers which he believes is the only way to best serve his clients at Brighton Securities. Chuck provides individuals, families and institutions with customized plans to accomplish life objectives through active management and communication. Chuck’s clients range in age from 2-92, and his primary focus is with clients looking to define, create, and achieve a retirement lifestyle that leads to happiness. From the 25 year old young professional who wants to start saving now, to the husband and wife who want to know when they can retire, Chuck’s clients can be confident in the income they’ll have available, and the best way to leave a legacy for their families. Chuck enjoys being part of the Brighton Securities family. He values the ability to step outside his door and have a conversation with the CEO, Chairman and even his own brother, financial advisor Ethan Wade. Chuck and his wife Elizabeth live in Brighton with their two daughters, Charlotte and June. Ethan Wade ’11 Ethan Wade joined Brighton Securities as a Financial Advisor in 2013. Ethan works closely with his clients to help them achieve their short-term and long-term financial goals. No two clients are the same and Ethan does not believe they should be put into cookie-cutter models, instead, he believes each client benefits most from their own customized retirement strategy. His communication style, which is free of industry jargon, instills confidence and peace of mind in his clients because they can easily understand the complexities of their personal finances. Ethan lives in Penfield with his wife, Brenna, and their two boys, Griffin and Cooper. He also volunteers on the Board of Directors and is a member of the Finance/Audit Committee for the Arc of Monroe.
