EDUCATING THE

OF TOMORROW
Sciences
WELCOME
It’s hard to imagine but another year
has passed and the summer is fying
by. Our frst newsletter was well
received, providing annual updates to
the faculty, staff, alumni, and friends
of the Theresa Patnode Santmann
School of Health Sciences.
Faculty continue to be productive in
all areas of academic life, licensure
rates are well above the national
average, and additional equipment
and instrumentation have been added
to our inventory. We are still among
the most selective Schools of Health
Sciences in the nation, making our
graduates sought after by local and
regional organizations.
I am pleased to announce that two
new programs will be fully operational
by Fall 2019. Dr. Jack Thomas will
chair the Department of Nutritional
Science and Wellness, which will be
housed in newly renovated space
in Lupton Hall. The department will
include baccalaureate programs
in Health Promotion and Wellness,
and Nutrition Science. Also, Applied
Gerontology will be the next program
under the new department, and we
expect SUNY approval, perhaps by
summer’s end.

NURSING STUDENT MENTOR PROGRAM
Student Nurse Mentors were given the opportunity to mentor primary education minority students from underserved
school districts on Long Island, specifcally the Central Islip School District. Nursing students gained an appreciation of
the importance of exposing minority grade school students to the profession, which may provide a pipeline of diverse
professionals who are prepared to function in a complex healthcare system.
Two visits – October and November 2017 - were made to Mulligan Middle School in Central Islip, New York. During each
visit, middle school children were presented with nursing concepts such as teamwork, assessment, and infection control.
These concepts were introduced through activities including donning and doffng personal protective equipment, taking
blood pressure and temperature, and select videos on the topics.
Feedback from school administrators was outstanding and nursing students were invited back for additional educational
sessions. Middle school students were surveyed to measure their satisfaction with the program. Results indicated that the
majority were highly satisfed and gained knowledge about health concepts.
MLT CLUB MEMBERS MAKING
A DIFFERENCE
Striving to promote professionalism and leadership in
the laboratory profession, the MLT Club was extremely
successful this year in participating in a variety of
community service and campus activities. A highly
dedicated group of club offcers (see photo) organized
many noteworthy activities that included collecting
and contributing clothing items for the Golden Key
Honor Society’s winter clothing drive and assisting
the Department of Dental Hygiene with its annual
“Give Kids A Smile” day. Club members also hosted
tables at campus club fairs and participated in lunch
and learn sessions with regional hospital laboratories.
The highlight of the year was the annual celebration
of National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week
during April 22 – 28 with a webinar and festive
luncheon for MLT students. Kudos to this year’s MLT
