New Vision Health students are beginning to learn the physical assessment skills needed by healthcare professionals in providing care for their patients.  Students will learn the skills in conjuntion with the anatomy and physiology chapters as they review each body system.

Innovative Design students learn about bird migration paths to assist in their building designs. 

Collisions between birds and buildings are a big problem in our region because of bird migration paths. Scientists and architects are working together to design ways to help prevent these collisions. Mrs. Wilcox, the CTE Science Consultant instructor, used the Star lab to explore bird migration routes with the students. 

The Cosmetology Program recently toured Hurleyville’s Main Street Barber and Beauty Shoppe, the Makers Lab and the Arts Center.  The owner of the barbershop welcomed the students by providing donuts and an electric clipper cut video to each student.  At the Makers Lab, students designed key fobs that were later produced on the laser cutter and given to them.  When visiting the Arts Center student made connections to possibility do hair and makeup for dance studio performances.  Everyone had a great day.

Michael J. Burns presesented safe chainsaw operation to the Natural Resources students to reduce the risk of injury.  This session is intended as an introduction to chainsaw use or as a refresher for experienced users.  Funding for this program provided by the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) with funds from the New York Sate Depart of Health (DOH).    Chainsaws are among the most useful and dangerous outdoor powertools owned and operated by landowners.  While all danger cannot be eliminated, training and instruction have proven to be an effective way to mitigate the risk of injury to a chainsaw user.

Natalie Roszkowski M.B.A., R.T (R) the Diagnostic Imaging Supervisor of Catskill Regional Medical Center, presented information about the eight different health careers in the diagnostic imaging cluster.  She provided a basic overview of each profession, including academic requirements for entry into the programs, environments students could work and gave the median salaries within the state. 

Animal Science students with Instructor Barbara Moran and science consultant teacher Katie Wilcox take part in sustainable practices and explore multiple sources of income for agricultural businesses.  A group of students are composting materials from the farm to create a specialty fertilizer that uses waste products and has the potential to create a secondary stream of income.  

The Welding program recently fabricated the bases of the new Innovative Design computer tables.  This project allowed students and teachers to collaborate on the design and fabrication, to build custom tables for the Innovative Design program.

Cosmetology 2 receives a lesson from Mrs. Wilcox (Science Consultant teacher) on the Electromagnetic Spectrum.  The lesson was providing students with the knowledge about different colors within visible light by using diffracting glasses and different types of light (natural, CFC, LED, etc.).  There was a discussion of the uses of infrared and ultraviolet light within the industry and explored how objects change under UV light.

On September 11, the Public Safety Services class conducted a 9/11 memorial service to remember all the lost lives (both emergency services and civilians) on that fateful day in 2001.  It was held at the flags located in the front of SUNY Sullivan.  The Public Safety class currently has a classroom at SUNY Sullivan.
