Registration is now open for the 2024 United Convention & Exposition! This year's event takes place in Atlantic City, NJ September 23-26 at the Atlantic City Convention Center! For more information, visit https://lnkd.in/dEQfg9R We hope to see you there! PSA- If you are registering with your Canadian credit card for United and have difficulty with your card being accepted, it could be due to the postal code. A trick of the trade for Canadian Credit cards in the US is to convert your postal code to just numbers. You take the existing numbers in your postal code and add 2 zeros on the end. For example, if your postal code is: K1N 6Z6, when putting in your credit card details in the registration use the code: 16600

"Governor Kathy Hochul today announced $8 million in recurring annual funding for The State University of New York's 30 community colleges — the first increase in nearly a decade — to advance health care and mental health goals for NY State and the SUNY system. ●$5 million will be used to support investments by community colleges to increase enrollment in and completion of health care educational programs, supporting the Governor’s goal of increasing the State’s health care workforce by 20% over the next 5 years. ●The remaining $3 million will be used to expand mental health support for SUNY students, which is consistently identified as a critical campus need..." This is a huge triple win for higher education, mental health, and workforce equity and access for young adults in New York. 🎉🎉🎉 Our community colleges are bastions of opportunity and economic mobility for millions of working-class, first-generation, and minority students and families. These investments help ensure that all New Yorkers can earn well-paying jobs in health care and access potentially life-saving mental health services on campus. This is especially critical at rural schools and community colleges, which are more likely to struggle with limited staff and resources. The mental health crisis and inequities on college campuses are dire. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of youth and college-age students, and rates of suicide can range from two to ten times higher for marginalized students and those with intersectional identities, such as queer Black (LGBTQIA+) youth or disabled Asian young adults. Colleges are often the first line of support for students and play a key role in outreach and destigmatizing therapy or mental health challenges and services. Each additional counselor hired, training provided, outreach message sent, or appointment made can help a student in need, ensure their studies succeed, and even save a life. Speaking from experience, I likely would not be where I am today if it were not for my ability to access counseling when I was struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time in my life, in college. It got bad my junior year when I began experiencing panic attacks while also developing a chronic health condition. I started attending counseling on campus, which was my first time experiencing therapy. It helped me tremendously to get back on top of my health and studies and laid my foundation to appreciate therapy's numerous benefits for the rest of my life. I was privileged and lucky to have therapy on campus, supportive friends and family, and an appreciation for applied psychology, as a psych major. Without these things, I doubt I'd even be able to talk about this today, especially given the stigma therapy often has for men. We must continue this precedent, increasing the capacity of our mental health and health care services and providing rewarding workforce development opportunities for all, at both SUNY and CUNY schools. 🗽

Supporting student success🙌 Governor Kathy Hochul celebrated the historic expansion of the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) today at Farmingdale State College. Thanks to the changes from Governor Hochul & the Legislature, nearly 93,000 students will benefit from TAP. Highlighting the impact of TAP, Governor Hochul also released the New York State TAP Difference Report. The report showcases the deep impact of TAP, from improving completion rates to broadening college access. Chancellor King added, "New York’s Tuition Assistance Program, along with help from federal and institutional aid, has made it possible for 52% of SUNY’s resident students to attend college tuition-free. This report shows how vital TAP is for student success and upward mobility, and now that Governor Hochul and the legislature have doubled the minimum TAP award from $500 to $1,000, and increased income thresholds, we are looking forward to writing the next chapter of student success for New Yorkers."

Join us April 24, 5:30 - 7:30 pm in Cicero, NY, for City Scripts Public Forum - Good Company: Micron and the Shape of Growth, sponsored, in part, by Syracuse Architecture and organized by Syracuse Architecture Associate Professors Elizabeth Kamell and Lawrence Davis, and Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs Professor Grant Reeher, director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute. City Scripts is a partnership between Syracuse Architecture and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. The partners hope their collaboration will ensure that inclusive policy and design are at the forefront of challenges facing cities in the United States and around the world. The goal of the City Scripts symposia is to create an ongoing, interdisciplinary and applied dialogue that reaches beyond the university and influences both policy and design. Date and Time: April 24, 5:30 - 7:30 pm Location: Cicero Fire House, Station 1, 8377 Brewerton Road Cicero, NY 13039 The goals of the forum are to build on the growth principles of the Plan ONondaga that implicitly acknowledge the arrival of Micron but do not have the force of law and do not speak directly to any one municipality’s needs. How can municipalities plan for growth and shape their goals in the context of this plan? How should county and state governments support and coordinate their visions? As Micron plans its new investment in Onondaga County, what are its responsibilities to surrounding towns and their inevitable growth? What do we need to ask of arriving corporations and of governments to assure that the promise of the Good Company is fulfilled? PARTICIPANTS Frederick S. Harris, Executive Vice President, Multifamily Development, Vornado Realty Trust Andrew Herod, Distinguished Professor of Geography, University of Georgia and John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow Tod Rutherford, Professor of Geography and the Environment, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and Senior Research Associate, Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration RESPONDENTS Rachel May, New York State Senate, 48th District Ryan McMahon, Onondaga County Executive Sharon Owens, Deputy Mayor, City of Syracuse Al Stirpe, NYS Assemblyman, 127th District The “Good Company: Micron and the Shape of Growth” forum is supported by: the Syracuse University Collaboration for Unprecedented Success and Excellence (CUSE) grant program; the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs; Syracuse Architecture; the office of NYS Assemblyman Al Stirpe; the Cicero Firehouse; and the School of Architecture Pratt Institute. It is organized by School of Architecture Associate Professors Elizabeth Kamell and Lawrence Davis, and Maxwell School Professor Grant Reeher, director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute.

Key to America’s future economic success is a strong #career readiness infrastructure, one that prepares today’s #youth to find future success. Building such an infrastructure requires collaboration among #education, industry, government, and the non-profit sector. It also requires states to continually assess their career readiness policies and practices to ensure they are both meeting local and regional workforce needs and advancing economic and social mobility for all workers. To view the data for each state, see linked report.
