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!

Safety first! New Visions Health students gained hands-on experience in the health and safety practices within the medical field. They learned the proper techniques for donning (putting on) and doffing (taking off) personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep both patients and healthcare workers safe!
These real-world skills are an important part of understanding what it means to work in healthcare and out students are already showing professionalism and attention to detail!

Bush and Coopers New Visions Health students had the incredible opportunity to sit down with medical students from LECOM Elmira and hear firsthand what life in medical school is really like and the steps to get there!
A big thank you to the medical students who shared their experiences and answered questions so openly- our seniors walked away motivated, informed, and excited about the future!

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.

✨ Last week, our Coopers Campus New Visions students took their learning outside the classroom and headed to Bush Campus for an Adventure Based Learning (ABL) experience!
From team-building challenges to leadership activities and decision-making exercises, students pushed themselves, supported one another, and discovered the power of collaboration. 💡💪
It was a day full of energy, growth, and fun—and a reminder that some of the best lessons happen when we step out of our comfort zones. 🌟

Honoring Heroes Through Action 🇺🇸🔥
