UTEP researchers use real-time 3D animation to study motor impairments in children with autism
For more than a year, researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso s Stanley E. Fulton Gait Research & Movement Analysis Lab in the College of Health Sciences have been using real-time 3D animation to investigate motor impairments in children who have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Their aim is to understand how children with autism can learn motor skills, so that they can receive effective therapies.
The results of their study, titled Children With Autism Exhibit More Individualized Responses to Live Animation Biofeedback Than Do Typically Developing Children, were recently published in the journal of Perceptual and Motor Skills. The paper s release coincides with National Autism Awareness Month in April.

The presentation titled, “Antisemitism Past and Present,” was led by led by Jason Horowitz, director of Heritage Education and Partnership at Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) a historically Jewish fraternity.
ZBT was founded in 1898 at the City College of New York. During that time, Jewish people were excluded from joining fraternities and sororities. Being recognized as the first Jewish collegiate social fraternity, ZBT offers continued educational programming on the subject matter, even though they became nonsectarian in 1954.
“ZBT was honored to have more than 130 undergraduates participate in a very important conversation regarding antisemitism,” Anthony Haddad, assistant director for growth at ZBT, said. “We’re also excited to have an amazing partnership with Kentucky Hillel and the IFC, who helped make this happen.”
OHIO medical and nursing students combat COVID by administering vaccines to fellow students, community Published: April 29, 2021 Author: Samantha Pelham Ohio University student Simar Kalkat gets her COVID vaccination at Heritage Hall on the Athens campus of Ohio University.
Ohio University medical and nursing students gained first-hand clinical experience while combating COVID by administering vaccines at OHIO’s Heritage Hall vaccination clinic to their fellow students and the community.
“It is so exciting to have an opportunity for the students of the Heritage College to partner with their colleagues from the OHIO nursing program to give back to our community by assisting in vaccination efforts,” Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Athens campus Dean Beth Longenecker, D.O., said. “Not only is this a chance for students to directly provide care and impact the health of residents in the county, this is also an opportunity for inte
The University of Delaware School of Nursing made changes to in-person learning to ensure students continued to get the critical exposure to hands-on practice needed for success in their career. In-person simulations were expanded from one hour to four hours and observers were added to help third-year nursing students learn from different perspectives. Heiddy DiGregorio, director of simulation for SON, said many of the changes have resulted in greater independence among students and a better understanding of their role in the continuum of patient care.

A computer science major described by a dean as an “intellectually curious scholar” and a Russian-born business major who worked on global marketing campaigns for big companies while on co-op were among this year’s undergraduate and graduate students inducted into Northeastern’s exclusive Huntington 100 club at an in-person ceremony Thursday.
Joseph E. Aoun, president of Northeastern, called the honorees a community of the university’s “most influential leaders” in areas such as academics, research, and athletics. “You are models for the rest of the students, not only now, but in the future,” he said.
