On March 19, New York Institute of Technology medical and undergraduate students participated in the annual Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition. The event gives graduate and undergraduate students from across the world the opportunity to collaborate on innovative, multidisciplinary solutions to a real-world global health problem, or "case." Held virtually, this year's teams were charged with developing strategies to address environmental health disparities faced by indigenous populations. They were given one week to create a 10-minute presentation that addressed these public health challenges. The New York Tech team featured medical students from both of its NYITCOM locations (Long Island, N.Y. and Jonesboro, Ark.), as well as undergraduate students from the university's College of Engineering and Computing Sciences and College of Arts and Sciences. The students tackled the challenges of the indigenous peoples of French Polynesia, focusing primarily on the preservation of local language and climate change by addressing freshwater scarcity. Competing alongside prestigious institutions like Yale and Penn State, the New York Tech team went toe-to-toe with 40 teams across 15 countries. Members of the 2022 team included: Izza Arqam, an undergraduate student in the Life Sciences, B.S. program Vincent Carbone, an undergraduate student in the Mechanical Engineering, B.S. program Kaylee Bressler, a medical student at NYITCOM-Long Island Erika Levy, a medical student at NYITCOM-Arkansas Yash Makkapati, a medical student at NYITCOM-Arkansas Gianna Petrillo, a medical student at NYITCOM-Long Island The team was advised by NYITCOM student Anvin Thomas.

As part of a new agreement, NASA has contracted with New York Institute of Technology, through the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences' Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC), to have ETIC student employees build unique technology prototypes based on existing NASA patents and create professional marketing materials that NASA can use to help commercialize the technology. Currently, seven New York Tech student employees are working to fulfill the terms of the contract with NASA, which runs through August 2022. Students pursuing computer science and engineering degrees were selected to build the prototypes based on NASA patents, and two digital arts students will develop instructional and marketing videos to help present the products to investors. The products include a robotic therapy vest for patients with neurological impairments and a high-tech device, known as a c-gauge, to measure cord tension in parachutes, sails, and weather balloons.

Seven future physicians from NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine's (NYITCOM) Class of 2021 have matched into U.S. military residencies. Upon graduating from medical school, physicians must complete a residency training program and obtain a medical license to practice medicine in the United States and become board certified in a specialty. Medical residencies last three to five years for primary care physicians, with other specialties requiring additional years. While the "civilian" match will take place on March 19, 2021, medical students who have committed to military service for their residency are matched early in the year. "Military physicians play a critical role in defending our freedom, providing timely and skilled care to those making the ultimate sacrifice for our country," said Nicole Wadsworth, D.O., dean of NYITCOM. "We salute our student doctors who have voluntarily taken the charge to support and care for the service members that protect us all." Military physicians deliver health care services to military personnel and their families and work in a variety of settings, including hospital ships and international medical centers, among others. Physicians enlisted in the military may also participate in international relief and humanitarian efforts, helping to care for the victims of natural disasters and other events requiring medical stability operations. "I am incredibly proud of these outstanding student doctors, and I congratulate them on their remarkable achievements," said Shane Speights, D.O., site dean, NYITCOM-Arkansas. "We, as an institution, have tremendous respect for the work and sacrifice made by those who serve our country, and we are honored that these students have chosen this path of service as they continue their medical education." U.S. Army matches include: Steven Camacho (NYITCOM-Long Island), who will complete a family medicine residency at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Kimberly Fletcher (NYITCOM-Arkansas), who will complete a psychiatry residency at Darnall Army Medical Center in Fort Hood, Texas. Zai Ganesh (NYITCOM-Long Island), who will complete an internal medicine residency at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. Jessica Gregory (NYITCOM-Long Island), who will complete a psychiatry residency at Walter Reid National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. Danny McIntyre (NYITCOM-Arkansas), who will complete a transitional year residency program at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center in Fort Gordon, Ga. U.S. Air Force matches include: Benjamin Tartter (NYITCOM-Long Island), who will complete an emergency medicine residency at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. U.S. Navy matches include: Craig Mills (NYITCOM-Long Island), who will complete a transitional year/flight surgery residency in Portsmouth, Va. "My time in the Navy was one of the greatest and most rewarding experiences of my life, and I'm thrilled for our students who are certain to gain similar invaluable lessons as they begin their graduate medical education and enter active duty in the military," said Amanda Deel, D.O., associate dean of academic affairs at NYITCOM-Arkansas. Deel spent five years in the U.S. Navy following her completion of medical school and provided expert guidance to NYITCOM-Arkansas Student Doctors Kimberly Fletcher and Danny McIntyre throughout the match process. After graduation from NYITCOM, the future physicians will begin their Graduate Medical Education (GME) in conjunction with service to their country. They will take the military oath of office at NYITCOM's 2021 hooding ceremonies this spring.

Welcome to eSports, a skyrocketing industry and a new frontier on the collegiate athletics scene, where NYIT is poised to become a major player. eSports viewership is expected to reach 380 million this year, (according to market intelligence firm Newzoo), and by 2020, this segment of the video game industry is expected to generate $1.4 billion in advertising, sponsorships, tickets, merchandising, and media rights. "The world of eSports is such a phenomenon," says Dan Velez, NYIT director of athletics and recreation. "It's become more legitimized now that major TV networks like ABC and ESPN are televising matches." Higher education has also taken notice: More than 80 collegiate eSports teams have launched in the United States, according to the National Association of Collegiate Esports. In January 2017, the CyBears, NYIT's first-ever eSports team, officially launched with eight players; this fall, the CyBears are competing in the East Coast Conference's (ECC) inaugural eSports season. The Fall 2018 roster includes 30 students from NYIT's Long Island and New York City campuses who play the top eSports competitive games including Overwatch, League Of Legends, and Rainbow 6 Siege, among others. "I do consider eSports a sport because there is a lot of mental energy required," says Velez. "You have to learn to adapt to situations and possess a specialized skill set. The eye-hand coordination of an eSports athlete is through the roof." The overall commitment to their game makes eSports athletes similar to their traditional counterparts where focus, discipline, time management, and dedication are paramount. To welcome the CyBears to their ECC eSports debut, NYIT is building a new facility for them to practice and compete on the Long Island campus. NYIT has also launched a Center for eSports Medicine to understand the injuries and physical fitness of cyber-athletes and has introduced a customized bachelor's degree program tailored for students interested in emerging video game careers.
