Parents of high school graduates seeking aff ordable college tuition op-tions can fi nd them at LIU Post, which off ers more than 20 accelerated degree programs right here on Long Island.

From accountancy to political science, criminal justice and econom-ics to law, LIU Post has programs that enable qualifi ed students to complete requirements for both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in a shortened time frame.

Th at’s an option which attracted Jackie Pineda of Westbury, who wanted to get a head start on her goal of becoming a public accountant. In 2008 she enrolled in the fi ve-year program at LIU Post and graduates this May with a Bachelors and Master of Business Administration in accountancy. “Th e accelerated program is allowing me to complete my undergraduate and masters-level work more quickly so I can sit for the CPA licensing exam,” said Pineda, who will begin a full-time job at

PricewaterhouseCoopers as a tax associate this September. “LIU Post helped me fast-track my career.”

Students who take advantage of these programs can save time and realize a monetary savings equivalent to a year of full-time graduate study.

Th at option paid dividends for Tabetha Martinez, who earned a B.S. and MPA in Health Care Administration from LIU Post in January.

In September, the university will off er two new accelerated programs. Th e B.A. in Economics/MBA off ers a unique combination of coursework in economic theory and business administration and provides the opportunity to study abroad through the LIU Global campus in China. In addition, LIU Post and SUNY Fredonia have entered a partnership to off er an accelerated “4 + 1” B.S./MBA program for Fredonia graduates.

James White of Beacon is also a student in the accelerated program

at the university. “LIU Post helped me obtain three great internships, and through on-campus recruiting, I received 10-15 calls a week from prospective employers,” said White, who is pursuing a B.S./MBA degree in accountancy from the LIU Post’s College of Management. “Post didn’t just open up the door for me—it kicked it down.”

LIU Post (formerly known as the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University) is ranked one of the best regional universities in the north by U.S. News and World Report. Its 307-acre campus is located in the historic community of Brookville. Students have access to excellent facilities including Kahn Discovery Center, Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Pratt Recreation Center and the B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library, one of the largest digital research libraries in the northeast. For information visit www.liu.edu/post/accelerated.

Jackie Pineda, a graduate of Westbury High School, put herself on the fast-track to a career in public accountancy and will grad-uate with two degrees from LIU Post in May.

Mercy College has announced a zero percent increase in under-graduate tuition for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Th e tuition freeze comes at a time when interest in Mercy College is at an all-time high. Applications for 2012 eclipsed 20,000 for the fi rst time in college history. Th is total is more than double the number of applica-tions received in 2005, according to Deirdre Whitman, vice president for Enrollment Management at Mercy College.

“We have made the very deliberate decision to enforce a zero percent tuition increase for undergradu-ates for next year,” said Whitman. “Mercy College students and their families can plan for the future and know what to expect when they choose Mercy—award-winning faculty who know students by name,

individualized student support through our nationally-recognized PACT mentoring program, prepa-ration for career success and no unforeseen debt.”

In addition to the zero percent un-dergraduate tuition increase, Mercy College awards exceptional students with scholarship support and is committed to providing students

with exceptional expertise in the fi nancial aid packaging process. Th e college’s fi nancial aid packages will not be aff ected as a result of the tuition freeze.

Tuition for undergraduate students at Mercy College is less than $17,000 a year. “Mercy College has one of the lowest private tuition rates in the country and the lowest in New York State,” Whitman concluded.

Located in picturesque Dobbs Ferry, overlooking the Hudson River, with additional campus locations in Manhattan, the Bronx and Yorktown Heights, Mercy off ers more than 90 undergraduate and graduate programs across fi ve schools: School of Business, School of Education, School of Health and Natural Sciences, School of Liberal Arts and the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

On May 2, 3 and 4, the Holy Trinity Performing Arts Department will be presenting Stephen Sondheim’s macabre, Tony award-winning musical, Sweeney Todd: Th e Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

When someone hears Sweeney Todd, they are immediately taken by the dark nature of the 2007 movie version starring Johnny Depp, however, Holy Trinity’s theatre teacher and the director for the musical, Christopher Tramantana said, “the core message of the story, is one of love and redemption. It warns the audience of the trap-pings of revenge and celebrates the enduring power of hope. Part

opera, part Shakespearean tragedy, part myth, Sweeney Todd has both historical and moral relevance. Th is tremendous piece of theatre off ers a challenge whose size is equal only to that of its message and having a student body with the talent ca-pable of fi lling the size of this story is a rarity. I feel privileged to have this opportunity and the outcome should be very exciting.”

Sweeney Todd: Th e Demon Barber of Fleet Street will be presented on May 2, 3, and 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville. Tickets become available by calling 516-433-2900 x146 on April 8. Tickets are $10 and will be sold at the door.

iTutor.com founder & education pioneer Harry Aurora was invited to speak at Harvard University this past weekend. Hosted by the Harvard Business School, the conference called on prestigious leaders from around the world to converge and discuss the development of India’s local strength vs. global growth.

This year’s business conference held on March 9 and 10 at Harvard University was a unique one in that it afforded the opportunity for iTutor.com’s founder to speak on the panel about the development of India’s Silicon Valley. Each year Harvard hosts a conference regarding the development of the world’s largest secular democracy, India.

India vs. India Local Strength vs. Global Growth is a conference dedicated to “encouraging complex-ity and controversy” as stated on the conference website, in regards to real issues surrounding such a globally competitive country. Aurora was responsible for bringing light to the development of India’s Silicon Valley using his experience of developing iTutor’s online tutoring platform and all of the obstacles that came with it. In this panel, leaders discussed India’s graduation from remote based tech services to forge opportunities of capturing a piece of the global market share of software and other tech services.

Aurora focused his ideas on the entrepreneurial spirit, angel and venture capitalist sectors of India that are aligned to take advantage of these opportunities. “India is well known for adapting to the global market,” said Aurora during one of his argumentative statements. India is globally known for its remote tech support but can the country adapt to the software end of things with limited resources required for day-to-day operations and overabundant bureaucratic obstacles plaguing the business sector.

Aurora sees the global demand close to home at iTutor every day, as hundreds of outsourced educators apply for online tutoring jobs to teach iTutor’s U.S.-based students. “We don’t currently outsource our educators because of the rigorous common core standards that the U.S. is implementing nationwide this year.” He states in his closing argument, “I am not ruling out the fact that Indian educators will teach iTutor’s U.S. based K-12 students, be-cause they will … But they will need the proper training and educational development to align with the U.S. common core before doing so.”

Headquartered in New York, iTutor Inc. is a team of highly seasoned pro-fessionals who, with over a decade of experience, have created a premiere online tutoring platform.

B15 Studios, a 32-camera passive optical motion capture animation studio, in conjunction with the New York Institute of Technology, is offer-ing a series of one-week videogame production workshops. This program will be held at NYIT’s Old Westbury campus during the summer of 2013. The workshops utilize industry-lead-ing motion capture technology, which is used for capturing natural human motion for animation in movies, videogames, and scientific research. High school students with an interest in animation and the production of visual effects for movies, television, commercials, pre-visualization and videogames will gain insight into this interesting industry. The program will be taught by industry professionals

who have worked for companies such as Disney, Acclaim Entertainment and NASA. During the course, students will:

• Direct scenes and edit motion in 3-D programs such as Maya.

• Process motion into character animations for videogames

• Create their own videogame level using the Unreal Development Kit, a video game engine used in popular games including Gears of War and Batman Arkham City.

• Choose characters, capture animations and design the game’s playable interface.

• Walk away with a playable level for their home personal computer.

They’re called student-athletes, but many youth advocates, in-cluding psychiatrist Gary Malone, are concerned that the emphasis is on “athlete.”

“Anyone who follows sports knows that college-level and professional recruiters are looking at recruits — children — at increasingly younger ages, and it’s not because they want to ensure these athletic students get a well-rounded education,” said Malone, a distinguished fellow in the American Psychiatric Association, and coauthor with Susan Mary Malone of What’s Wrong with My Family?

A high-performing student-ath-lete throughout his own high school and college years, Malone says he appreciates the benefits of

extracurricular programs.“But the NCAA’s own 2011 sur-

vey found that, by a wide margin, men’s basketball and football players are much more concerned about their performance on the field than in the classroom,” he added.

Malone reviews how the imbal-ance favoring athletic pursuits can damage student-athletes and the family unit :

• Life beyond sports: Only 3 percent of high school athletes will go on to compete in college; less than 1 percent of college athletes turn pro, where the average career is three years with risk of permanent injury, includ-ing brain damage, for football players.

• Misplaced parental priorities. A parent’s obsession with a child’s success in sports can be extremely damaging to a child, to the extent of bordering on abuse. Parents who look to their children to pro-vide them with validation, status or other unfulfilled needs don’t have their child’s best interests at heart.

• Siblings left behind: When the family values one child’s athletic prowess over the talents and gifts displayed by his or her siblings, the latter children risk growing up without a sense of personal identi-ty, which leads to co-dependency problems in adulthood.

• Pressured to play: Throughout the entire United States, football is

huge. Basketball dominates inner cities and regions like Indiana; wrestling is big in the Midwest and parts of the Northeast, and hockey might be the focus for children throughout Northeast and upper Midwest. Children, especially boys, may feel obliged or pressured to play a particular sport even if they have no talent or interest in it to the detriment of other talents that might have been developed.

“Athletics can be extremely beneficial to a young person’s life, but I think we have our prior-ities backwards,” Malone said. “Imagine how much better off our country might be if, instead of football, we were obsessed with our children’s performance in science and math.”

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Senate Majority Coalition Co-Leaders Dean Skelos and Jeff Klein, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver recently detailed an agree-ment to guarantee every school district has a permanent teacher and principal evaluation system in place by June 1.

The legislation has several components:

• First, the legislation would make clear that all evaluation systems currently implemented will not sunset by remaining in effect unless changes are agreed to by the district and local bargaining unit.

• Second, the legislation would give the four remaining school districts that have failed to imple-ment an evaluation system—New York City, Pine Plains, Fallsburg and Hamburg — until May 29 to reach an agreement on a system. If a district does not have a plan approved by that date, a one-time binding arbitration process will commence and the state will impose

a system on the district by June 1. State Education Commissioner John King will act as the arbitrator in this process and decide what evaluation system will be imposed.

• Third, to ensure ongoing com-pliance with the implementation of the evaluation system, school districts will continue to remain ineligible for annual state educa-tion aid increases if the district fails to implement their approved evaluation system.

Last year, Governor Cuomo established a new statewide evalua-tion system. The system is based on multiple measures of performance including student achievement and rigorous classroom observations. The Governor signed a law last year requiring all school districts to implement an evaluation system based on the statewide system approved by the State Education Department or risk losing their in-crease in education aid — resulting in 99 percent compliance (687 out of 691 school districts implemented a system).

Do you know that math is integral to the Japanese art of origami? Th ese were just some questions answered by over 30 exhibits on display during the Math Madness event held in Holy Trinity High School’s library last month.

Students in the seventh grade from Holy Family Elementary School in Hicksville, St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope School in Westbury and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bellmore were invited to take a trip to Holy Trinity during their school day to learn many unique and interesting math facts from high school students.

Dr. Ira Wolf has announced that in May 2013, PowerPrep will offer additional sections of its courses for SAT Subject Tests, substantially increasing the number of students it will be able to accommodate. Last year several students had to be turned away because the courses they wanted to take were already full. To minimize the chance of that happening again, PowerPrep has added extra sections for most of its courses: biology, chemistry, physics, math (levels 1 and 2), and both world and U.S. history. Parents who are unsure about whether their children should take SAT Subject Tests or which ones they should take may call PowerPrep at 484-4468 for free advice.

All colleges that require applicants to take SAT Subject Tests ask that they send in scores from two tests. However, because of the College Board’s Score Choice policy, which allows students to report only their best scores, many students take several SAT Subject Tests, often four, five, or even six. They can then submit whichever scores they want: sometimes that means just sending in their two best scores, but often students earn good scores on more than two tests, and in that case they should definitely submit all of those.

Ninth-graders who are getting good grades in their biology course are strongly encouraged to take the biology Subject Test. Tenth-graders may take biology or chemistry, world history, and/or Math Level

1, if they are completing their third year of Regents math. Juniors can take Subject Tests in any course in which they are getting good grades.

All SAT Subject Tests are 60 minutes long and consist entirely of multiple-choice questions. Students should prepare for these tests in May and take them on June 1. Students have the option of taking one, two, or three tests on any day that Subject Tests are offered. Of course, the preparation includes reviewing the most important content of each sub-ject. But that is not enough: students also need to learn the test-taking strategies that are critical for earning the highest possible scores.

The entire PowerPrep program is personally supervised by Dr. Wolf, the founder of PowerPrep and a nationally known expert in the field of test preparation. Dr. Wolf is the author of more than 10 books on test preparation, including Barron’s best selling SAT and PSAT books, as well as a book for the SAT Subject Test in math Level 1. He has been helping students to achieve their maximum PSAT and SAT potential for over 35 years.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of students use Dr. Wolf’s books to prepare for the SAT, but only students here on Long Island can actually take courses that are per-sonally supervised by Dr. Wolf. For more information on PowerPrep’s courses for the PSAT, SAT, ACT and SAT Subject Tests, you may call 484-4468.

PowerPrep To Offer More Courses

On Thursday, May 2, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m., Portledge School will host an open classroom and infor-mation session. The open house is for those interested in pre-nursery through grade 12. Students will share their experiences during tours of the 60-acre campus and build-ings. Faculty and division heads will be available to answer questions throughout.

World-renowned early childhood expert, Leila Gandini, Ed.D. Reggio Children Liaison in the U.S. for the Dissemination of the Reggio Approach,

will be on campus to talk about the Reggio Emilia philosophy at Portledge. Tours will take you into the classroom where you can see this program in action and talk to the teachers.

Refreshments will be served. Pre-registration is suggested but not required. To register or for more information or directions, please call the Admissions Department: Michael Cooper at 516-750-3202 or Leigh Farrell at 516-750-3203 or visit www.portledge.org.

Christina Lynch Markham, a graduate of the Holy Trinity High School Performing Arts program in 2000, had her high school dream become a reality when she was appointed to the Paul Taylor Dance Company.

Under the direction of Catherine Murphy at Holy Trinity, Markham recalls that until she attended Holy Trinity, she didn’t realize that dance “could be a career.” “I came to Trinity as a ‘competition dancer’…Mrs. Murphy cultivated the artist within me that I never knew was there. She taught me that dance is an opportunity to express myself…there is meaning behind every gesture, turn and leap.”

Markham has generously given back to her high school alma mater by returning as a choreographer

for the school’s yearly dance

concert and is thank-ful for the opportunity. “I

am thrilled that I am still able to work with the dance department

(at Holy Trinity) and help inspire new dancers to enter the field.” Murphy is very

proud of her former student. “She is an excellent role model for young dancers, exemplifying how

dedication and discipline is a pathway toward achiev-ing your goals.”

Following high school, Markham majored in Dance at Hofstra University. During her college years,

she trained at The Taylor School and attended the Company’s Summer Intensive Program. After gradu-ating Summa Cum Laude in 2004, she danced with the Amy Marshall Dance Company, Stacie Nelson and The

Dance Theater Company. She joined the Paul Taylor 2 Dance Company in the summer of 2008.

CAMPS & SCHOOLS

After a few years of traditional summer camp — bunking in cabins, swimming in lakes, and participating in Color Wars — many teens think they have become too old, or too sophisti-cated, to continue attending. Others have never tried sleep-away camp at all, thinking it is “just not for them,” and have outgrown their local day camps.

Working families then face the dilemma of fi nding fun, safe, and productive ways for their older teens to fi ll those long summer days. Th e good news is that each year, there are more and more programs tailored especially to the needs and interests of teenagers, and the options that are currently available far exceed what one typically thinks of when considering “summer camp.”

Some traditional camps do off er more advanced programs for older campers. Th ese programs might include more extreme sports

and adventures, as well as wilder-ness activities like rock-climbing, whitewater rafting, or mountain biking.

Many teens relish the opportunity to develop their orienteering and “sur-vival” skills, and wilderness challenges can teach the importance of both teamwork and self-reliance.

Th e older child can also choose to spend the summer scuba diving, sailing, or even skiing and snowboard-ing. Senior campers may participate in leadership or counselor-in-training programs, or train towards lifeguard certifi cation. All of these programs help teens develop the interpersonal skills and self-confi dence that will contribute to their later successes.

For the young adult who has already developed a strong interest in a particular sport or other activity, specialty camps off er intensive, pro-fessional level instruction, as well as the opportunity to socialize with others

CAMPS & SCHOOLS

who share the same interest. Specialty camps are off ered in virtually every sport, from golf and tennis to lacrosse and ice hockey, and in a broad range of performing arts, including fi lm-mak-ing, acting, dance, singing and musical theatre. Th ese programs are typically staff ed by professionals, who can often provide career guidance and men-torship beyond the camp experience. Due to the intense focus of specialty programs, they are often of shorter du-ration than traditional camps, leaving teens’ summer schedules fl exible for their other activities.

Another option available to the older teen is the academic program. Whether a student requires remedial assistance in a particular subject, or help developing study and test-taking skills in general, there are programs that teach these skills while improving the student’s self-esteem and mo-tivation. For the already motivated student, academic programs can off er advanced or specialized course work, sometimes for school credit, to accom-modate virtually any interest, from ar-chaeology to computer programming. Formal college and SAT preparatory programs are also available, some of which also off er life skills training, such as Driver’s Education. Academic programs are generally held on college campuses, with the “campers” residing in dormitories and truly experiencing college-style living.

A few also off er real-world work internships in the student’s chosen fi eld. Some programs actually combine study with travel, off ering opportu-nities to study marine biology in the Caribbean, or a foreign language in Europe, for example.

Of course some teenagers prefer to travel strictly for recreation, and leave the formal learning for the school year. Teen tours and travel programs can now accommodate even the most adventurous youth, with destinations all over the United States, Europe, South America, Australia and even Africa. Th ese trips include age-appro-priate excursions and activities that will

generate memories that last a lifetime.Th e programs that are most often

described as profoundly life-altering are those which combine travel with community service. In addition to gaining in-depth exposure to another culture, the teen that chooses this type of program gets to build solid leader-ship and practical work skills. Parents often notice that upon their return from a community service program, teens are more helpful and responsible around the house, and demonstrate an increased sense of purpose overall.

All of the teen programs can provide the kinds of experiences and skills that can be used to build resumes and college or scholarship applications. Because of their importance to a teen’s future, as well as their expense, these programs should be chosen with perhaps even more care than a younger child’s summer camp. Parents should not rely simply on the glossy advertisements or pervasive Internet presence some marketers use to appeal primarily to teens. Nor should they feel overwhelmed by the vast array of programs available and the prospect of discerning reputable, well-run, long standing programs from those that are not.

Organizations like the National Camp Association are staff ed by knowledgeable camp and teen program professionals, who can consider a family’s specifi c needs and interests, and make appropriate recommendations. Th ese referrals can be requested at www.summercamp.org/CampQuest. Armed with this cus-tomized information, parents should of course do their own homework, and check the references of any programs they are considering.

Th ere is no longer any reason for teenagers to think that their best summer adventures are behind them, and that there is nothing better for them to do than play video games or hang out at the local mall until school starts again.

Now, they can still enjoy the fun, freedom, and independence of sum-mers past, while building the life skills that can enhance their futures.
