College Visit – Fordham University and Stony Brook University Combined Session

We are excited to host a Combined Information Session featuring Fordham University and Stony Brook University at NIS!
The session will be on Thursday, October 17th, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM at HUB LGR 3.
Fordham University, the Jesuit University of New York, is committed to academic excellence and the Jesuit tradition of intellectual and ethical development. Founded in 1841, Fordham offers over 70 majors and minors across diverse programs. Students can choose between two dynamic campuses: the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx, adjacent to the New York Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo, and the Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan, just a 5-minute walk from Central Park. Both campuses provide a rigorous education with practical experience, preparing students for success. Fordham is also a Division I NCAA school, with 23 varsity teams at Rose Hill.
Stony Brook University — New York’s flagship university and No. 1 public university — is one of America’s most dynamic public universities and a center of academic excellence. Founded in 1957, it offers over 200 academic programs, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees. Stony Brook is known for its strong emphasis on research and innovation, with numerous research institutes and partnerships that contribute to advancements in various fields. The campus is located on Long Island, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, and provides students with access to a vibrant community and diverse extracurricular activities. Stony Brook is also a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and competes at the Division I level in NCAA athletics.

This coming Tuesday, October 15th 12-4pm, several colleagues will be doing their First Aid training to update their certification. This will be a first of a few sessions of First Aid trainings throughout the year that we will be having to ensure that all our employees are updated with First Aid Certifications. The certification will be conducted through Taikang Hospital and will provide a Red Cross certificate recognized by China. For this first session we are prioritizing trip leaders, coaches and positions where emergency situations might be more prevalent. The following teachers will be a part of this first round of First Aid training.
