Eating The Rainbow

By Joann Kudrewicz ating Rainbows across America’ is an educational program designed to address the rising health concern of obesity among children in America due to Egenetics, lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these factors. Some of the same health problems affecting obese adults can also affect obese children. These include heart disease risk factors such as high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, muscle and joint problems, and liver disease. Overweight and obese children are likely to stay obese into adulthood and more likely to develop non-communicable diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. Childhood obesity can profound- ly affect children’s physical health, social, and emotional well-being, and self-esteem.

Alumni Spotlight - Dana Farrell ‘04

ana was an Architectural Technol- ogy who graduated with an AAS in D2004. She currently lives in Albany, NY. Here’s more about Dana: Current job? After graduating from Delhi, I went on to earn a bachelor degree in Archi- tecture in Washington, D.C., as Delhi didn’t offer a bachelor program at the time. Cur- rently, I own a design/consulting company called Bundle It Home where I do archi- tectural programming, interior design, and construction management. I also work full- time as a real estate salesperson with a local brokerage company. What brought you to the Architecture pro- gram at SUNY Delhi? I come from a family of builders and always wanted to be an ar- chitect or do something in that world. Being from a small town, I was eager to explore different areas for college. I settled on Delhi because it was close to home but also far enough away. I loved learning about build- ing residences but my major also exposed me to construction and structural theory for large buildings. On top of that, I had a fas- cination with designs, materials, and so on. appa Sigma Epsilon Alumni attend an Alumni All of that together ended up taking me on event in NYC.

Collegiate Cyber Defense Challenge By Mathew J. Heath Van Horn ssistant Professor Mathew J. Heath Van Horn was asked to serve as a referee for the 2019 semi-finals of the North East Collegiate Cyber Defense Challenge (CCDC) Regional. The CCDC is a national competition that Aprovides institutions with a controlled, competitive environment to assess student understanding and operation- al competency of cyberspace operations against threats to an organization’s cyber operations. Colleges from around the country send 8-person teams to run a typical small business network and defend it against hackers, environmental disasters, and the demands of day-to-day business activities.

This is the first time Professor Heath Van Horn served as a referee. In past years, he led teams of volunteer hackers in cyber-attacks against the student teams. When asked about the difference in roles he said, “As a hacker, you know your attacks are causing all kinds of grief for the defending teams, but as a judge in the team rooms, you get to witness the teams reactions to each attack.” Nursing Summit

The students had to resolve many activities over the 2-day event. The student’s priority was to maintain wired and wireless network services. Services included typical applications such as email, websites, customer database informa- tion and adding and deleting user accounts. The students also had to migrate all essential services to a cloud-based platform in less than 6 hours…and move the services back again because the CEO changed his mind.

The second priority was to mitigate outages caused by employees, hackers, or the environment. The hackers cracked user passwords to install viruses, take down web services, corrupt Microsoft accounts, and make physical computer components unusable. At one point, the hackers locked all teams out of their networks and forced them to have a dance-off where the winner would receive a password to restore their essential services.

The hackers did not limit themselves to electronic means to disrupt cyber operations. With the organizers’ permission, they picked the locks of the utility closets where they used the cleaning carts as a prop to gain access to the team rooms. While posing as cleaners removing the copious amounts of junk food and energy drinks, the hackers were able to steal or destroy password lists, network maps, and cyber defense plans.

At the end of every contest, each team is able to meet the hackers that were attacking their system. The hackers explain n April 12, SUNY Delhi faculty and staff attended how they gained access and kept access to the team cyberspace infrastructure.

The Rochester Institute of Technology emerged victorious and heads to Orlando, FL for the National Championship.

When asked if SUNY Delhi students could compete in the contest, Dr. Heath Van Horn said, “We have many skilled faculty trying to build the cyber program here at Delhi, but we have years to go before it’s finished. However, at that point, I believe our students could compete.” Asked if there were any security lessons he wanted to share he said, “Hackers can crack any password you can remember.”
