Arthur Satz
The Department of Music in the School of Arts & Sciences has become the first named department in the school, thanks to a gift from former music major and influential arts education leader Arthur Satz ’51.
The late president of the New York School of Interior Design, Satz bequeathed the largest ever gift geared toward supporting the humanities at Rochester.
In addition to establishing the Arthur Satz Department of Music, the commitment will establish a minimum of five new professorships in fields related to the humanities. Honey Meconi, a professor with appointments in the School of Arts & Sciences and at the Eastman School of Music, has been awarded the first of the professorships as the Arthur Satz Professor for the Department of Music.

Kids who start vaping during their early teenage years are more likely to experience brain fog According to the two new studies carried out by the researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) vaping is directly associated with mental fog.
The study, published in the journals Tobacco Induced Diseases and Plos One, stated that both adults and kids who vape are more likely to report difficulty in concentrating, remembering, or making decisions than their non-vaping, non-smoking peers.
The study noted that kids who start vaping during their early teenage years are more likely to experience brain fog.
TORONTO Researchers in the U.S. say they have found an association between vaping and mental fog, and it appears more likely among youth who began vaping before age 14. Two recent studies from the University of Rochester Medical Centre (URMC) have found that adults and youth who smoke and vape are more likely to report difficulties in mental functions such as memory, decision-making and concentrating. According to a press release from the university, the studies examined more than 18,000 American youth, estimated to be between the ages of 11 and 18, who responded to the National Youth Tobacco Survey and 886,000 adults who responded to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Two new studies find an association between vaping and mental fog.
Both adults and kids who vape were more likely to report difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions than their non-vaping, non-smoking peers. It also appeared that kids were more likely to experience mental fog if they started vaping before the age of 14.
While other studies have found an association between vaping and mental impairment in animals, this is the first to draw this connection in people. Led by Dongmei Li, associate professor in the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at the University of Rochester Medical Center, the team mined data from two major national surveys.
