Welcome to SUNY Geneseo’s Eleventh Annual GREAT Day! Geneseo Recognizing Excellence, Achievement & Talent Day is a college-wide symposium celebrating the creative and scholarly endeavors of our students. In addition to recognizing the achievements of our students, the purpose of GREAT Day is to help foster academic excellence, encourage professional development, and build connections within the community. http://www.geneseo.edu/great_day What’s new this year? Session 3 ROUND ROBIN This session will have three varied presentations in each room, with ample time to move from room to room between presentations. All sessions are in Welles and South Halls.

Thus, half the posters will now be displayed in the College Union Ballroom during Session 1, 11:15 am – 12:45 pm, with lunch and the other half during Session 2, 5:15 – 6:45 pm, with the reception.

Upon graduation, he had to choose between continuing his passion as a dancer and beginning his journey to become a scientist. He found that the discipline and creativity of his dance training were equally applicable to scientific study, leading him to choose science. Since then, Jarvis received his degrees in Biology and Mathematics from Hunter College and further pursued his Ph.D and postdoctoral work in Molecular Neurobiology and Animal Behavior at Rockefeller University. Jarvis has continued his scholarly adventure as an Associate Professor at Duke University, and now, through his current role as a Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of Languages back at The Rockefeller University. His lab studies how the brain controls complex behaviors, in which they focus on the molecular pathways involved in vocal learning in songbirds. Through an integrative approach, Jarvis collectively uses behavioral, anatomical, electrophysiological and molecular biological techniques to study the molecular pathways involved in the perception and production of learned vocalizations. Through his research, he hopes to advance the understanding of the neural mechanisms for vocal learning and basic mechanisms of brain function. Along with his extensive research and over 100 scientific publications, he has been the recipient of a number of significant honors such as his recent recognition in 2015 with the American Society for Cell Biology Ernest Everett Just Award, highlighting his impact on diversity in science. Erich Jarvis’ journey has allowed him to engage in a variety of professional endeavors. For example, through the Science Outreach Program of New York, Jarvis provided laboratory research experience to inner-city students of underrepresented backgrounds. Additionally, he has served in multiple societies and committees such as the National Advisory Mental Health Council and was a founding member of the Black Collective at Duke University in 2001. Furthermore, Jarvis has been featured for his remarkable achievements when he was listed as one of ten most trailblazing scientists in Mental Floss magazine in 2007 and was named one of 50 most powerful men and women of Duke University in 2009. There will be a reception for Dr. Jarvis in conjunction with the poster session in the College Union Ballroom at 5:15 pm. All are welcome. 3 2017 Geneseo Recognizing Excellence Achievement and Talent Day • 11th Annual Concurrent Sessions Quick View Guide CONCURRENT PRESENTATIONS DEPARTMENT/ROOM QUICK VIEW GUIDE SESSION 1 • 8:30 – 9:45 AM SESSION 3 ROUND ROBIN • 2:25 – 3:40 PM PAGES 5 TO 13 PAGES 24 TO 31 A BUSINESS SOUTH 338 Block 1 • 2:25 – 2:40 B ANTHROPOLOGY BAILEY 104 Block 2 • 2:50 – 3:05 C MATHEMATICS SOUTH 340 Block 3 • 3:15 – 3:30 D BIOLOGY ISC 115 E ENGLISH WELLES 138 A GEOL SCI, BIOLOGY, ART HISTORY WELLES 121 F CHEMISTRY ISC 131 B BIOLOGY, LANG & LIT, PSYCHOLOGY WELLES 123 G THEATRE & DANCE DOTY RECITAL HALL C COMMUNICATION, GEOGRAPHY, CIDD WELLES 115 H EDGAR FELLOWS MISCELLANY 1 BAILEY 102 D POLI SCI & INT REL, BIOLOGY, ENGLISH WELLES 134 I EDGAR FELLOWS MISCELLANY 2 BAILEY 103 E ANTHROPOLOGY, ENGLISH, BUSINESS WELLES 119 J EDGAR FELLOWS MISCELLANY 3 BAILEY 202 F GEOGRAPHY, MATHEMATICS, PSIR WELLES 128 K EDGAR FELLOWS MISCELLANY 4
