Technology
There was a time, not so long ago, when you had to wait for the next day to find out the scores of your favorite teams. Today, wait has been eviscerated because of technology, we now have instant results.... Websites, ESPN, & smart phones have closed the geographic landscape to a narrow stretch of ingenuity that has allowed us to be connected at an almost instantaneous rate of connection. While this has been a marvelous development for mankind it has also come with a plethora of challenges and new problems that we must address. Technology has allowed us to stay connected and reconnect with family and friends… More

Taking the Internship Certificate Program on the Road to Boston
Adrienne Mc Nally, Professor Michael Gregorek and I went to Boston during Spring Break to present at the national Cooperative Education and Internship Association conference. I had the pleasure of first presenting with Michael on the successes we have had in collaborating on our two programs--the School of Management's Professional Enrichment Program and the Career Services Internship Certificate Program. In true Michael style he was the star of the show. 40 audience participants laughed in between nodding their heads in disbelief of his successful outreach to students and professionals alike. They were captivated by not only Michael's energetic delivery, (at one point he was on both… More

Spirit
We got a taste of spring this weekend. It was nice to bask in the glow of a spring afternoon while watching the Bears compete. Softball rebounded taking three out of four, baseball took it on the chin coming out on the short side a a three game slugfest, and lacrosse went on a eight hour bus ride to win in OT. With all the outdoor action going on I managed to have the time to witness a new conference initiative on Saturday. The East Coast Conference sponsored a Spirit Showcase at Molloy College. Cheerleaders and dance groups from colleges on LI… More

Crap Detection 101
Was President Barack Obama born in the United States? Does the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend a vegan diet for infants? As the inventor of the WWW, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, recently commented, “the Internet does not have an IQ.” Consider for a moment that close to 90% of university students begin their research using a search engine, and that less than 1% of all searchers travel past the first page of results. The implications are enormous… No less problematic is that more and more of today’s information is delivered un-authorized. In the past, scholars, editors, publishers and librarians… More

Intramurals
There is nothing more exciting in my line of work than intramurals. Yes, we complete against some of the best DII schools in our region on the intercollegiate level, however: here's the deal. With an intercollegiate contest you either go there or they come to you; you play the game and then you go home or they go home. Yes there is excitement and build up because you want to do well and represent your institution but at the end of day you might not ever see your opponent again. However, when you play in intramural action it stays with… More

Haste Makes Waste
Got home to review my first ever blog and low and behold....it was full of mistakes. There lies the lesson, be efficient with time but mind your time so it is productive. I rushed to get it out and I made a lousy first impression. I will try my best to make it up to you. By the way, who came up with the term "blog". It sounds like a vegetable you hated that your mom made you eat at dinner time, UGH! Today the Bear family mourns the loss of the mother of our Assistant Athletic Director and volleyball coach Gail Wasmus. Folks… More
