Around Touro
Congrats to the Lander College of Arts & Sciences 2023 valedictorian, Dovi Teigman! Dovi made Dean’s List every semester, and received the Touro’s Dean’s Scholarship straight out of high school. He also published a research paper in the Touro Science Journal and volunteered at the Margaret Tietz Nursing Home. Dovi's future plans include becoming a dentist and an EMT and joining Hatzalah. Of Touro, Dovi says, "Where else can I get a degree and, at the same time, stay in yeshiva and still receive an excellent education and preparation for professional school?”
Congrats to Lander College for Women's 2023 valedictorian, Chana Rosenbluth! The Honors Program student graduates with a 4.0 grade point average. She made Dean’s List every semester and was the recipient of the Lander Merit Scholarship. In the fall, Chana will begin Columbia Law School, which bestowed her with the Butler Fellowship. Before law school begins in August, Chana is trying to get through her mental book list, explore New York City, and spend time with her family, “because as excited as I am to start law school, I know that I’m not going to have much time for that over the next three years.”
Touro University Graduate School of Social Work Fellows recently participated in the 11th annual Northport VA Medical Center Clinical Symposium. Since 2013, the VA Social Work Department has collaborated with Touro to offer a special day of seminars focused on issues presented by veteran clients, and enrich the clinical skill set of Touro students. “It was a great day of learning! It was nice to be back in person after four years!” said Susan Brot, LMSW, Associate Director of Field Education and Director, TUGSSW Fellowship Program, pictured far left at the Center’s Memorial Garden. Pictured next to Brot, L-R, are Fellows Christine Lupoli (Military SW Education); Gabrielle Lewis (Evidence-Based Practice in Mental Health); Mubarika Sakina Mirza (Aging Education); Miriam Dachs (Military SW Education); Taramati Shew (Evidence-Based Practice in Mental Health); Yvette Koumenan (Social Work Leadership and Management); and Amanda Sokolowski, LCSW-Northport VA Social Work Section Chief and Graduate Education Coordinator.
#TBT Students from TouroCOM Harlem organized and taught a self-defense workshop for the student body last month, with the assistance of Dr. David Colbourne, a faculty member and emergency paramedic. "With the help of Dr. Colbourne and student instructors teaching their fellow peers different self-defense techniques, participants left the workshop feeling empowered and more sure of their ability to defend themselves!" said Megan Wong, one of the student organizers. The training was organized by student interest groups from Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Surgery, American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics, and American College of Osteopathic Surgeons
Student spotlight! Touro NYSCAS student Patricia Hector (third from left) recently completed a research project for her psychology honors thesis titled "Overcoming Anxiety around Deadlines and Procrastination.” The research focused on why many people choose to procrastinate instead of starting and completing tasks. Hector's research found that participants were more anxious when the countdown timer was present after a difficult task and that participants' work quality was rated better when there was no countdown timer or impending deadline. "When looking at these results, we see that timers and artificial deadlines don’t help people to effectively and efficiently begin and complete tasks. Rather, they put people under intense pressure that is unhelpful, especially when handling more difficult tasks," said Hector.
The #FeelGoodFriday content we need! True ❤️ @ Touro! After meeting at orientation for the School of Health Sciences physical therapy (PT) program, class of 2000 alums Lauren Rais (now Dillon) went on to marry fellow PT student Mike Dillon. “We fondly remember our first-time meeting, even down to what we were wearing. We were good friends and study partners for about a year before dating, and since our graduating class was so small, we kept our relationship secret for quite some time,” recalls Dillon. Fast forward over a decade, and now the Dillons' live in Pennsylvania with their two children. Daughter Ava will soon be attending the University of Delaware and son Owen plays lacrosse in high school and aspires to play in college. Dad Mike is Clinic Director at ATI, a nationally recognized rehabilitation provider, where he specializes in outpatient orthopedics. He’s dedicated to giving back to the community and has coached several lacrosse teams throughout the years. Mom Lauren is a board-certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist and started a company called DizzyFree PT, where she makes home visits focusing on vestibular rehabilitation therapy. She'll also be heading to Temple University this summer, where she’ll be an adjunct professor in the college’s PT program.
