Recognition for Dr. Patricia Caballero-Schillaci Mentoring students for SUNY Research Conference in NYC

The Health and Physical Education department would like to recognize Health Studies adjunct Dr. Patricia Caballero Schillaci, for promoting a course undergraduate research experience (CURE) in HEG215 Global Health and Culture and taking it to the next level. This spring, she encouraged over 20 students to submit abstract proposals on their CURE to the interdisciplinary SUNY undergraduate research conference (SURC) which took place April 14 at SUNY Maritime in the Bronx. Liam Sullivan was accepted to present his course research on Cultural barriers to health and wellness for gang members and Alexandra Garlock was accepted to present her research on Cultural Barriers to health and wellness: punk/skinhead runaways in the U.S.  Each semester, students are encouraged to research a culture of interest that experiences vulnerabilities and a disparate physical or mental health outcome. Dr. Caballero Schillaci looks forward to promoting further opportunities for students to present course research in HEG 215.
