New Visions Human Services and Education students at Wildwood are working on enhancing their people skills, which involves fine tuning the way we communicate. This week, they put their skills to the test and practiced giving each other step-by-step instructions on how to draw a particular picture. (see photos) Students had a fun time with this activity but were also able to connect the activity to see how misunderstandings and miscommunications occur. #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCEScommunicates
🔍 In Chapter 2 of U.S. History & Government, students are challenging assumptions and asking bold questions: “Did the American Revolution have more than two sides?”
To explore this, they took a deep dive into Native American daily life in our region - guided by the Iroquois Loan case from the Chemung County Historical Society.
📚 Real history. 🧠 Critical thinking. 🌎 Multiple perspectives. #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESprograms

New Visions Health students from Coopers got hands-on practice learning how to properly don and doff PPE! Donning and doffing are essential skills in healthcare to keep both providers and patients safe. They're building confidence while protecting health and safety!
New Visions Engineering: Principles of Engineering - First Challenge!
Students kicked off their first engineering challenge with creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Using only the materials provided, each team was tasked with designing and building a pair of newspaper shoes that fit one of their teammates’ feet. The shoes had to be strong enough to survive a walk around the classroom and still come off without major damage.
Not only did every team rise to the challenge, but the photos captured show just how much collaboration, innovation, and teamwork went into each design. A fun and successful start to an exciting year of engineering!

New Visions Engineering Welcomes First Guest Speaker of the Year
Students in the Wildwood Campus New Visions Engineering (NVE) program had the privilege of welcoming their first guest speaker of the year: Dr. Alexis Clare, Emeritus Professor of Glass Science at Alfred University. Dr. Clare delivered a captivating presentation titled “What is Glass?”, offering students a deeper understanding of the science behind this fascinating material.
During the session, students explored topics such as fiber optics and metallic glass and were even able to examine a metallic glass baseball bat—an incredibly lightweight yet powerful demonstration of advanced materials science.
Dr. Clare was recently selected to receive the prestigious 2025 Women in Glass Award from the Glass Manufacturing Industry Council (GMIC). She will be honored this October at the Glass Problems Conference. Congratulations, Dr. Clare, and thank you for inspiring our students and supporting the mission of New Visions Engineering.
