Students then choose to specialize in either religious studies or recognize problems, analyze and articulate them and solve them in creative philosophy, as their interests take them. Graduates of these majors have gone ways. Religious studies invites students to acquire a deep understanding on to graduate programs in law, library science, social work and the ministry. A signature program within religious studies at SJC is the Nicaragua Program, where students learn about the problems and challenges faced by citizens in third-world countries and then spend a spring or winter break working alongside residents of a small village in Nicaragua to help improve their lives, as well as learn from their hosts. SJC’s Department of Philosophy offers an annual opportunity to participate in the prestigious College Ethics Bowl, where teams from many colleges come together to discuss and analyze thorny ethical issues. The department participates in SJC’s Oxford experience, where students take a spring semester course that continues in Oxford, England, during the summer. St. Joseph’s College prides itself on offering solid career and professional programs coupled with a background in the liberal arts, giving substance to our motto: Esse non Videri — “To be, not to seem.” Alexandra Mercado ’13 Philosophy/Religious Studies “Philosophy opened my mind to think in ways that it had not been trained before. Studying philosophy prepares students to think critically and question the status quo. These skills are invaluable for any career path.”

I know the religious studies classes I took will benefit me in my spiritual and professional life moving forward.”

Dana Rundberg ’17 History and Philosophy/Religious Studies “The classes I took in religious studies have been tremendously important in my everyday life. They play a role in not only helping me better understand the history I will teach, since religion has played a role in most world events, but also the diverse students who will make up my classroom. Having knowledge of all major religions will enable me as a teacher to better meet my students’ needs and understand their backgrounds. These courses will not only change the way you view the world, but also how you view yourself.” You’ve Been Hacked! Explaining Cybersecurity to Students in an Interconnected Era

By Jacob Batchelor CampusTechnology.com

omputer hackers, also known as cybercriminals, are infiltrating our world with ever-increasing sophistication. In October C2016, hackers disrupted service to Twitter, Netflix and other major websites. And in May, another group compromised the online data of thousands of people and businesses — including hospitals and other emergency services. Despite the increasing prevalence of these breaches, we still tend to disregard cybersecurity as something for someone else to worry about. But in just a few years, experts predict the so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT) will comprise 20 to 50 billion gadgets. This web of interconnected devices will reach everywhere — both in and out of school — leaving students’ and teachers’ personal data vulnerable to hackers. It is critical that students understand both the benefits and risks of these devices — not to mention their smartphones. Educators have an important role to play in helping students understand and safely navigate an internet- connected world. Explaining the Risks of IoT Devices Amazon’s Echo uses smart technology to respond to the sound of a user’s voice. Google Home can easily play our favorite tunes. But how? It’s not magic.

THE REALITIES OF THE EXCELSIOR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

By Michael Banach ov. Andrew Cuomo announced in January the creation of the New York G State Excelsior Scholarship Program, touted as the first program in the nation to guarantee free college tuition to public colleges and universities for New York resident students with a family adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less. However, once the details started trickling out, it became clear that the program falls short of being as comprehensive as promised. Excelsior awards were granted on a “last-dollar” basis; that is, Excelsior funds would only be made available once all other forms of financial aid (i.e. Pell Grants, TAP funds and private scholarships) were exhausted. Furthermore, these funds were only allotted for tuition expenses. Room and board, books and assorted fees at institutions are still the student’s responsibility. Following deliberation between Gov. Cuomo and state Legislature, the final program signed into law created more conditions. Students must remain in good academic standing and complete 30 credits per academic year, or they stand to lose their Excelsior funding. Additionally, students must live and work in New York state for the amount of years they received funding from the program. If they do not meet this criteria, they would be required to repay some or all of the Excelsior funding they received (repayment will be prorated if the student partially meets the residency and work requirement). According to a release issued by the Governor in October 2017, roughly 22,000 students out of the 950,000 enrolled statewide are using funds from the program to pursue degrees at city and state colleges and universities in New York. Recent news reports by the Times Union in Albany and NPR revealed that thousands of students across New York state, both currently

Yet, many students across New York have chosen to enroll in a public college or university with the expectation of receiving this award. In recent months, new peer-reviewed studies were also published that debated the merits of a “free tuition” approach, such as the Excelsior Scholarship. In a paper issued by the National Bureau of Economic Research this summer, educators from Harvard University and University of California, Berkeley, had researched the effectiveness of earlier free tuition programs and found that programs similar to Excelsior had no measurable impact on graduation rates, particularly at public institutions. As high school juniors and seniors start gearing up for college entrance exams and examining their options, it is crucial that they have the right information to make informed decisions and choose the institution that is the right fit for them. Encourage your students to examine the financial aid options and graduation rates at both independent and public institutions, and research the stipulations. More often than not, they’ll be surprised at what the full picture looks like. Knowledge, Preparation and Affordability: A St. Joseph’s Trifecta
