A community full of opportunities. 🐺

This year’s Involvement Fair was all about finding something you’re into.

From Ultimate Frisbee and Theatre to Student Senate and the many clubs around campus, there were plenty of ways to get connected.

And, as always, a big thank you to the Yates County Sheriff’s Department and Branchport-Keuka Park Fire Department for being part of the Involvement Fair!

This summer, sophomore Environmental Science major Natalie Adams is pursuing a Field Period® internship at MOST in Syracuse. Last week was the museum’s annual Summer Science Week, and Natalie had the opportunity to guide local teens through the Heiberg Memorial Forest, where they observed wildlife, identified plants, and tested soil and water.
 
Natalie says, “I picked this Field Period because it’s an opportunity to grow my communication skills in a environment. It’s been a great experience so far!”

“There really is a strategy that can help every student.”
 
That’s one of the key lessons Elisha (Burger) Gobe ’20 M’21 took away from the MS in Literacy program at Keuka College.
 
Over the last several years, she’s incorporated a variety of innovative learning experiences into her English and creative writing classes at Naples Junior/Senior High School.
 
These have included intensive ELA workshops, a Battle of the Books competition marshaled by the school librarian, cross-curricular units highlighting the importance of reading and writing in fields like environmental science, and pick-your-own-project boards based on Elisha’s thesis research on the impact of student choice in literacy education.
 
This year, Elisha offered her 10th-grade creative writing class a rare opportunity: a virtual visit with Betty Culley, author of the award-winning YA novel The Name She Gave Me. Culley graciously answered students’ questions about the book, which they had just read, and gave them an insider’s perspective on the writing life.
 
“I knew choosing Keuka College would mean making meaningful connections that would last,” Elisha says, “Now, I’m able to work with colleagues across disciplines to help students make connections and see the relevance of what they’re learning every day.”

The future of healthcare in our region is taking shape, right here at Keuka College.
 
Today, we celebrated a major milestone: the ribbon-cutting on our nearly completed Rural Outpatient Health Clinic, a 5,885-square-foot facility designed to bring greater access to care to our community while preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals.
 
When the clinic opens later this year, students in Nursing, Occupational Therapy and related healthcare programs will gain hands-on experience in a real-world clinical setting, while local residents gain an essential new resource for quality healthcare close to home.
 
Made possible in part by $1.6 million in federal support secured with the help of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Rural Outpatient Health Clinic represents an investment in the health, education, and future of the communities we call home.
 
Today, we’re celebrating what’s been built, and everything that’s still to come.

Another summer Field Period® check-in – this time from Guadalajara, Mexico!
 
David Arana Riese, a sophomore sustainability major and Spanish minor from Glens Falls, N.Y., is interning at Acuario Michin Guadalajara – an aquarium inspired by indigenous worldviews and committed to preserving the region’s amazing biodiversity.
 
David says, “I’m interested in becoming a marine biologist, so I wanted to get experience with animal care and environmental education. I’ve been researching different species and preparing informational materials for employees and visitors. I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned in class to real research and conservation efforts.”
