The Lesniak Institute for American Leadership is an extension of the work

that I did in the legislature over 40 years. The Institute will train and

educate students, senior citizens, anyone who wants to be an advocate, who cares

about what is happening in their lives and their communities. How to get it done.

How to make change.

What we do is we come up with events and volunteer activities

for people in the community and students to get involved.

Someone doesn't know where to start, they come to us and

we'll give them all the tools that they need in order to advocate for what they want.

Kean University was the ideal place for

having the Lesniak Institute for American Leadership

because wherever there is a cause Kean University is involved, and Dr. Farahi is right in the middle of it.

They are not just educating students in the classroom.

They're allowing students and encouraging students and energizing students

to get involved in the community.

We train the next generation of American leaders via

courses for certification and matriculation.

We also hold various training workshops,

and we have different community engagement events.

The Lesniak Institute has seven core causes that we advocate for,

but that doesn't limit people from advocating for the causes that are special to them.

The overall goal is to make sure that students and community

members know what they want to advocate toward.

To have people get involved, to have people vote,

have people feel like their voice is heard.

I cannot imagine a better job than one where I get to

meet people who are passionate about a specific

cause and help them to make the

difference that they'd like to see in the world.

The service provides advice, support and services for students with a variety of

impairments, disabilities and medical conditions. The university is supporting

me through note takers support, test support and also through having

automatic doors around the university so that it allows me to access my classes.

They facilitate the needs that I'm no longer able to meet myself, little

things like test arrangements, plus they've got a new initiative with some

tactile strips so it makes it easier for me approaching stairs, less likely to

wander off them so to speak. So I am given access to a large variety

of softwares, mostly drag and natural speak and read and write gold. Drag and natural

speak allows me to talk to my computer which is really useful because

it makes use of my oratory skill, other ways with disability which is I struggle

with writing. The University [of Waikato] has supported me by helping me get in touch with

people who will support me such as group therapy.

I'd encourage you to register with us as soon as possible,

through the website you could download the registration form and complete it

or just come in and meet with us and complete the registration form here.

We're here to make your university experience a lot easier

Owls Help Unlock the Secrets of Attention - Duration: 1:42.

[ethereal music]

When you look at a barn owl

the first thing you see is that they are absolutely beautiful animals.

But beyond that what you see is their ability

to strike with great accuracy at their prey.

[owl screeches]

Their brains must be built to solve that problem really well.

So let's look at their brain to figure out how they do it.

I'm Shreesh Mysore.

I'm an Assistant Professor in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.

There is like a million things out there in the world that are bombarding my eyes, my

ears, my skin and so forth, right?

Of all of those things at this instant that particular piece of information is what

I need to pay attention to to drive my behavior.

How does the brain solve that selection problem?

[music]

Do all of them have such receptors?

We believe that we've discovered a new way in which neurons in the brain can come together,

could jointly encode information.

What this does is it gives an answer for the first time for how does the brain actually

solve the problem in a particular kind of selection for attention.

[music]

Patients with A.D.D. are very easily distracted.

Our thinking is that this particular set of neurons that we're studying might be an important

key to that puzzle.

Barn owls provide a great model to understand how the brain in its extremely complex circuitry

actually implements this solution.

Year 12 students quizzed on Cambridge knowledge | #WeAreCambridge - Duration: 4:14.

When do you think the first black student went to Cambridge?

I should have revised!

I'm not sure but let's think about this

What do we get for getting this right?

1833

Errr...1950s maybe?

I'd say maybe 1980s

2006?

Late 1800s? not knowing yeah I know

19... No, no, no wait.

I'd go with 1970s.

I'm going to say 1985.

Probably in the 1720s.

1720s?

Oh my days!

What?

1720s? No way!

That's awesome!

That's so long ago!

That's good!

No way! Are you serious?

Oh, oh my days okay. I never knew that!

That's, that's, really? What's his name?

Went to Cambridge and they were probably the only person there?

I just think why is he not in mainstream education, I didn't know about him at all.

yeah I didn't know but until now.

Black history in general really interests me.

Because I'm interested in race as like a concept but lots of time I

try to research it's very American-based and Rosa Parks is great but it almost makes

you feel like black history in England was just non-existent and never existed!

With black history, they mainly focus on slavery and how black people relate to white people

and their struggles against them and not the individual achievements

or things that they have done.

It shows that it's possible and it's been done a long, long, long, long, long

time ago. You know having people that you can see have already done it makes it a bit

more familiar to you, it raises awareness and also that gets rid of the problem of

ignorance for other people who haven't seen you know a ethnic minorities in such

institutions. It's very important for awareness and you know this country is mixed;

it's very, very, very, diverse and that diversity needs to be seen in every institution.

Someone that inspired me right now, someone I actually spoke to today

was David Adeboye, he was telling me about his journey and how he actually

got into Cambridge, it was quite insightful and was kind of similar to my journey

as well coming from a Nigerian background and not going into

the typical route of being a doctor or lawyer and doing something different

like technology which is a booming market.

Just seeing people achieve what they want despite any barriers that might have

been put in their way, around me like; my mum, my dad, my grandparents just really

inspired me to do what I want to do, even if it wasn't going to Cambridge

I think that inspiration would still be there.

I went on a previous Cambridge residential with Target Oxbridge

and my mentor there his name's Michael.

Shout out to Michael!

He really inspired me because I felt like I'd never seen

someone, like I've seen a lot of people who were doing the artsy subjects

like Nissy Tee and Courtney Daniella with their channel but I never

really saw in like maths and Sciences field and when I talked to Michael for the first time

and kind of understood his story and where a he came from that

really spurred me on to continue to want to do that and even the people

I've met today, we went through problems together and it really

like helps me to understand that it's like actually a position I can take up

and I can like be successful as an engineer

but also as a black man in Cambridge University.

Family Sues University Where 20-Year-Old Daughter Died in a Pancake Eating Contest - News today - Duration: 3:58.

 Over a year after 20-year-old Sacred Heart University student Caitlin Nelson died from choking in a charity pancake-eating contest on campus, her family is suing the school for her alleged wrongful death

 Rosanne Nelson filed a lawsuit against Sacred Heart University on Monday in Superior Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut over the death of her daughter

 The lawsuit alleges that Sacred Heart was at fault for allowing the pancake-eating contest to happen, claiming that the university "failed to investigate the safety of a pancake eating contest before granting approval" and did not have "adequate and appropriate medical personnel" who could respond to a choking at the contest, according to the papers obtained by PEOPLE

 It also alleges that the university did not consider alternative foods like ice cream or whipped cream for the contest — which, unlike pancakes, don't turn into a "thick glob of paste" when they come into contact with saliva

 "Caitlin's family is bringing this case to expose the dangers associated with amateur eating contests and to help prevent other families from having to endure this type of preventable tragedy," the family's attorney, Katie Mesner-Hage, said in a statement to PEOPLE

"These contests are significantly more dangerous than people realize and it's critically important for the public — especially educational institutions — to understand that certain foods are safer than others and a modicum of forethought can literally save lives

"  Her family is seeking damages in excess of $15,000.  Representatives for Sacred Heart told PEOPLE that the Catholic university is "unable to comment on ongoing litigation

"  As PEOPLE reported last April, Caitlin was minutes into a pancake eating contest on March 30 when she began to choke and became "unresponsive

"  Police arrived at the event, as part of the university's annual Greek Week celebration, and found her "not breathing" with "pancakes almost to her teeth" and the "glob of pancake past in her airway

"   Suffering from severe brain damage due to oxygen deprivation, she was taken to a hospital where she died days later

Her cause of death was ruled death by asphyxiation.   "The lack of oxygen for that extended period of time caused irreversible damage, making it not survivable," Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara told PEOPLE at the time

 The New Jersey native was a junior studying social work and was vice president of her Kappa Delta sorority's community service group

She led the organization's philanthropy, planned Girl Scout events, and worked closely with Cinque at the Newtown Resiliency Center where she volunteered to mentor children impacted by the tragic events of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shootings

 "There wasn't anyone more selfless than her. She always had a smile, always there for the kids no matter what you asked of her she would do it and she did it with such grace and such love," close friend Stephanie Cinque previously told PEOPLE

"She was a beautiful human being."  Caitlin's father, James Nelson, was a Port Authority officer killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center

He was helping evacuate people from the 27th floor of one of the Twin Towers when it collapsed, according to CTPost

com. Caitlin was 5 years old at the time of her father's death.

The University of Memphis Department of Psychology Optimal Learning Lab - Duration: 1:56.

Overall, my students do things that are related to learning and memory.

How do we get students to learn better essentially, and so one of the kind of main focuses of

my research is having students make connections among the material that they face in the classroom.

My goal for the future is to bring the work into the classroom so that I can test research

questions with students, either college students, or potentially in the future high school students.

I think it is a really important as far as enhancing retention.

So we want our students to not only be able to learn but also retain information in the

classroom.

Continuing in that line of research so that we know that what we are teaching them day

in and day out is not just leaving there their memory the second they walk out the classroom,

it is something that they will be able to take with them for a lifetime.

I tend not to focus students too explicitly on my own research because I really want them

to develop as their own researchers so that they can have their own research program to

continue when they finish with their degrees.

We are always tied into what he is working on, but he does give us pretty much the freedom

and independence to work on something that is interesting to us and that we can apply

that to our world.

All the faculty members are really approachable so if you have any kind of question, even

if you feel like it is not really a deep question, if it is something really basic, they are

all really approachable and willing to help the graduate students better understand whatever

it is that you are trying to figure out.

There is a large emphasis on, you know, helping you conduct research and if you are interested

specifically in teaching, there is also a lot of materials available to you and classes

that you can take to aid you in teaching a class, and it is all about preparing you for

future work, whether that be research or teaching.

It does feel like a family.}

VCU Student Affairs: University President Dr. Michael Rao - Duration: 4:30.

I grew up in a really small town in Florida and I didn't really know very

much about the college experience so I ended up going to a college that was

fairly near there it was a state university and it turned out to be an

excellent experience it was a wonderful education. It was daunting at first but

before I knew it I was able to figure out what was where and what I needed to

do to be successful and ultimately it was one of the best experiences of my

life it helped shape me as a chemist. My dad was the first to go to college in

his family and he became a physician and then unfortunately he finished his

residency and then he passed away. That left my mother in not such a great spot -

she had started college but had not been able to finish because of his death and

because she had me a small child to raise but then she went back to college

after and when I was in high school and frankly that helped build a lot of my

own confidence about going to college because she was doing it while I was in

high school. I draw frequently on the experiences

that I had as an undergraduate to help me shape my leadership and influence as

the president of the university. I'm very sensitive to the fact that a lot of

these things are very daunting for students to come into what may be the

biggest environment that they've ever been a part of can be very scary and we

want to be certain that we're sensitive to that and that we make students aware

of resources as early as possible and find ways to sometimes bring services to

them when we know that they're not likely to come to us. So it has shaped a

lot of what I consider to be the most important strategic implementations I've

brought to VCU. Our whole strategic plan really has focused this year in its

implementation on undergraduate students and the ways in which to be certain that

undergraduate students have proper access to VCU at a reasonable cost and

with as little debt as possible leaving the institution.

Our priorities for our undergraduates are their experience at VCU...

we know that there are things that students have to learn in order to be a

baccalaureate degree holder but how they learn those things becomes really

important to VCU's experience for them and so we're trying to shape everything

around what we call the real experience what we want to be certain is and it's

an exciting and engaging experience for them so that what they learn they'll

know for the rest of their lives and that will benefit them for the rest of

their lives. VCU has always been a very career and experience centered

institution. There's no question that our students learn by doing they learn by

being a part of a solution to a problem or creating something that's never been

created before or providing support to people in ways that they need it

desperately and so that experience of course makes them ready as soon as they

graduate. They're not ready to learn how to do a job after they graduate from VCU

they're ready to do the job and they have the knowledge that they know they

need in order to be successful. It's been interesting to be you know a university

president for all of these years and tell students and parents that there are

tons of resources that they can use and now I can add a dimension to that

because I have a college student of my own my son is in college and it's been

interesting to sort of be certain to find specific ways in which he can

use the services that are available to him and I would tell every parent that

it's really important that they have a sense of all of the resources that we

put in place for their students so that they can help advise them because

parenting really doesn't stop after a kid goes to college

it continues in one of the ways that it continues is to help kids learn how to

navigate the world and some of that is of course navigating the college

environment and all of the resources that we put in place specifically to

make certain that they can be successful. You know there's really nothing like VCU.

VCU is the great American university and what I mean by that is it's helping to

fulfill the great American dream. The idea that everyone who comes to this

country and becomes a part of it will be a contributor, will

be successful if they work hard... it all plays out at VCU

The University of Memphis Department of Psychology LIGER Lab - Duration: 2:57.

So we found these four different groups.

In our lab we examined the development of reading fluency with the focus on how it contributes

to reading comprehension, so right now we have a strong focus on the development of

oral and silent reading fluency and both typical and atypical populations.

Dr. Meisinger will tell you reading is so important and so this is a large group of

children in the schools really struggle with reading, whether they have a diagnosis of

dyslexia, whether they have reading fluency problems, reading comprehension, whatever

type of reading problems they have there is a large group of unidentified kids that are

struggling and so the ultimate goal I think is for us to understand these children a little

bit more, the type of struggles they have and that is where the cognitive abilities

I think really come in, is what kind of, what kind of struggles are they having in those

areas and how can we help?

Literacy is a quality of life issue for kids and if you can not read, you are not going

to get through school, you are not going to get through life, at least not easily, so

our end goal is to conduct research that contributes to literature and provides information to

teachers, administrators, school psychologists, other educational professionals, that can

enhance kids education.

So what I like about the program is that everyone gives you the sense and context of a big family

atmosphere.

The students are so friendly, the professors really care and help you reach your research

endeavors and they are very free on giving feedback.

The Department of Psychology at our university is just a very strong department we have a

very research active group of faculty that are passionate not just about research but

also about mentoring students.

I think one of the things that really stood out about Memphis is the mentorship, the guarantee

that you are going to be assigned to a mentor, to a professor, that really is going to take

an interest in you developing as a student, as a future practitioner, and as a professional

and as a researcher, and so really from the beginning you were paired up with someone.

The work that we do in the lab could not be done without the wonderful students that we

have that are members of our research group.

Every study that we conduct only happens because every single person comes to the table in

a collaborative way.

They are so focused on making sure that you get these real world practical experiences

so you are not just learning in a classroom, you are learning in a natural environment,

working with professionals in the real world and they really work with you to try to fit

your interest and they really want to make sure that you get in those experiences, because

you can not just learn everything in a classroom, you know, it is way different when you get

out into the real world so they give you the opportunity to practice those clinical skills

in a variety of settings.}
