Using Technology for Student Success

Seidenberg School students have the opportunity to work with professors on groundbreaking research that transforms how the world connects with information technology. Recently, two graduate students enrolled in a Technology Systems course were winners in the New York State Carter Academic Service Entrepreneur (CASE) Competition sponsored by the Jimmy and Rosalyn Cater Partnership Foundation with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The students were recognized for developing a prototype of an "AssistaMouse," a modified version of a computer mouse that would help the elderly and people with certain types of disabilities to easily navigate a computer screen. The students received a grant to further development of the device. Two other students placed first in the Building Livable Communities in Second Life competition sponsored by the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services for designing a "user-friendly" living environment for the elderly using Second Life 3D Virtual World technology.

In 2007, an undergraduate computer science major on our New York City campus was named a Finalist for the Computing Research Association's (CRA) Outstanding Undergraduate Award; more recently another undergraduate computer science major was awarded Honorable Mention in the same competition. The award is given to undergraduate students who show outstanding research potential.

In addition, Seidenberg sponsors an annual Student/Faculty Research Day at which students have the opportunity to share their individual and joint findings before a sizable audience. And, it is not unusual for master's and doctoral students to present research papers at professional conferences such as the World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics and the Department of Energy's Cyber Security Training Conference.
