On October 16, Ho stra University in Hampstead, LongIsland hosted its second presidential debate in ouryears. The debate attracted hundreds o students whoturned out in the pre-dawn hours cheering and wavingDebate 2012 signs on the Student Center Plaza.

It completely inspires them, said Dr. RosannaPerotti, chair o Ho stras Political Science department,o her students reaction to their school hosting thehistoric showdown.

The debate between the two presidential candidatesPresident Barack Obama and ormer governor MittRomney was moderated by Candy Crowley o CNNsState o the Union and ocused on questions rom 82uncommitted voters rom the New York area selectedby The Gallup organization.

The massive undertaking required more than 350student volunteers (in addition to the nearly 400 who attended the debate), as well as the ability toaccommodate hundreds o campaign sta ers, memberso the media, politicians, debate attendees and security personnel.

Throughout the day o the debate, the university hosted two live radio broadcasts in the Student Centeras well as our popular student debate watch parties.

Debate volunteer Courtney McKain, a junior TV/ video and flm major rom Pennsylvania, said: Ivenever been into politics, but this is orcing me to know more about whats going on in the world.

Some o this years student volunteers even reportedthat they were frst drawn to Ho stra ollowing the 2008presidential debate at the university.

I remember watching the live Debate 08 broadcastrom Ho stra while I was still in high school andthinking Thats the school I want to be at, said NicoleSpencer, a junior political science and global studiesmajor rom Illinois. Now Im here and I have thechance to be part o this debate.

As it did in 2008, Ho stra created a wide-rangingslate o programs surrounding the presidential debate,many o them ree and open to the public.

The university sponsored more than 50 debate-related programs and events, o ered 35 di erentdebate-inspired academic courses and hosted aspecial lecture series that included political activists, journalists and scholars. Among them were ormerChair o the White House Council o Economic

Advisors Christina Romer, ormer Florida GovernorJeb Bush, journalist Chris Matthews and scholar/ activist Cornel West.

Ho stra reported that media coverage o the 2008debate generated the equivalent o $30 million wortho advertising. The ad equivalency or 2012 is expectedto more than double that fgure. The 2012 debatedrew about 32,000 traditional and broadcast mediamentions in the U.S. alone and the university generatedmore than 63,000 social media mentions on the day o the debate

Hosting a second presidential debate allows usto showcase all that weve accomplished, but mostimportantly, it provides a very special opportunity or our students to witness history and participatein the democratic process, Ho stra President StuartRabinowitz said. Our mission as a university is notonly to give students the tools to excel in their chosencareers, but to prepare them to be in ormed, activecitizens o the world.

Ho stra is now only the second university to everhost consecutive presidential debates (the other being Washington University in St. Louis). And PresidentRabinowitz is already anticipating 2016.

There is no experience equivalent to hosting apresidential debate in terms o generating excitementabout the democratic process, Rabinowitz said.Hosting a debate gives students the chance to bepart o an experience that will a ect how they look atelections and civic engagement.

The patent wars rage on in the tech world, but today a couple o big names extended olive branches inhopes o brokering a peaceor at least one betweenthe industry and the notion o patents. On October 2leaders rom the Commerce Department and CornellUniversity announced that there will be a U.S. PatentO ce sta er permanently planted right on campus.

That individual will serve as a l iaison between the worlds o tech and intellectual property, working toconnect university students and a liates to whateverresources the Commerce Department has to o er.(Be ore you private sector devotees sco , that rangesrom IP strategizing to government grants.) Its all inthe service o speeding innovations rom academicnotion to marketable product.

This is the rst time the Commerce Departmenthas ever devoted such attention to a particularuniversity campus.

To make the announcement, acting U.S. CommerceSecretary Rebecca Blank appeared at Googles New York digs with Cornell president David Skorton and ahost o local politicos, including both Seth Pinsky andCharles Schumer.

Secretary Blank quickly clari ed there wont be anactual o ce, but rather just the sta er.

The resources well provide at CornellUniversitys New York City tech campus are a naturalextension o the Administrations commitment toremoving the barriers that get in the way o more jobs and more innovation, she said. Its all part o exploring a new model o university-led innovation,she added, So we can push even more great Americanproducts into the global market.

President Skorton stepped up to say that theprogram would allow broadening the curriculumto incorporate both academia and industry. Thissta er will not be kept closeted at Cornell NYC Tech;everyone who spoke was very clear the initiative

would be available to other schools.How will having a patent o cer on the grounds

o a high-pro le tech campus to play out, giventhe rampant problems with patent trolls and thepopularity o open source? President Skorton saidthat having a patent point person on campus will help with the process o guring out together the sweetspot or IP protection in the so tware area rom tradesecrets to patent protection.

Its also probably an indication that CornellNYC Tech wont limit itsel to consumer Internetstartups, as one doesnt typically wade into biotech without ling some seriouspaperwork.

Receiving a shout outrom Patent and Trademark O ce director David Kappos was Stack Exchange. They have a partnership to getthird-party eedback onpending applications andshare prior art, with the aimo making patents strongerand more speci c. He gaveprops to the site or havingstepped up to the plate. Were getting discussionsgoing on in Stack Exchange in real t ime, he said.

Senator Schumer took the foor and rst gave propsto Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney or wearingthe appropriate shade o red. "Almost like Rapunzel,it takes research and trans orms it into jobs andcompanies, he said o the tech trans er process.

He proceeded to hold up a copper pipe in one handand an iPhone in the other to illustrate the rapid rateo innovation. Senator Schumer made the point thatuniversity ounding ather Ezra Cornell had heldthe patent on a pipe-laying machine, making it only appropriate that Cornell NYC Tech should be a leaderin the current technological revolution.

The Roosevelt Island Tram sure will be crowdedcirca 2017. EO

We are developing a plan torecruit students who are not only the best and brightest amongtheir peers, but also subscribeto the campus mission, andhave strong applied andentrepreneurial instincts,said Craig Gotsman, directoro TCII. The level o excitement - and the level o expectation - is very high.

Selected by Mayor MichaelBloomberg in December 2011to receive $100 million incity capital, the TCII aims tostimulate economic growth,hi-tech entrepreneurshipand an increase in available jobs.

By adding a new state-o -the-art institution to ourlandscape, we will educate tomorrows entrepreneurs and createthe jobs o the uture. This partnership has so much promisebecause we share the same goal: to make New York City home tothe worlds most talented work orce, the mayor commented in aNew York City government press release last year.

to improve the quality o healthcare;and Built Environment, the integrationo architecture and applied sciencesto produce e cient and sustainablesurroundings.

The school will launch at GooglesChelsea Headquarters, under a specialdeal with the tech giant that will seeit remain there until 2017, when theirst phase o the two million squareoot Roosevelt Island campus is dueor completion. The entire campusproject is scheduled to be inishedin 2037, which has prompted somecomplaints rom Roosevelt Islandresidents who believe the lengthy construction period will gravely a ecttheir quality o li e. Recently, Educated Observer joined an intimate cluster o journal ists or a luncheon with CornellPresident David Skorton at the CornellClub in Manhattan. During the mealhe discussed pressing issues o theinstitution, how Cornell has adaptedto the costs o education, in addition toCornell NYC Tech. President Skortonassured us that the construction planhas been designed to prevent excessivedisruption to everyday li e o RooseveltIsland residents and that they are working with the community s concerns.How to provide e icient transportationor students, however, has yet to be

resolved. O course not every inhabitantis up in arms about the new campus.

On October 26, The Cornell Daily Sun quoted Bryn Bass McCleary, a RooseveltIsland resident, as saying, Theyrebringing in a lot. Some o the countrysmost intelligent people will be cominghere.

Pritzker Prize-winning architect ThomMayne and Morphosis have been chosento design the rst academic building orthe new site, which is looking to makeits rst construction a net-zero energy development. Dean o Cornell NYC TechDaniel Huttenlocher added, The currentplan to generate energy is via a roo topsolar canopy that will generate much o the energy needed to make it one o thelargest energy-neutral buildings in theU.S. Were also exploring a number o other energy generating ideas, includingtidal power.

It is not only the buildings thatare undergoing something o atrans ormation, but the teaching, too, asMr. Huttenlocher explains: This campusofers us the opportunity to rethink graduate education and research in thetech arena or the in ormation age. Themodern research university developedduring the height o the industrial age, in World War II and the Cold War eras. Weare building a new campus culture andcurriculum to capitalize on this changeand to accelerate the development andsuccess o new technologies.

The school has certainly generatedinterest, said Mr. Gotsman: The responserom industry and the wider circles o theNew York City tech eco-system (e.g. the venture capitalist community) has beenoverwhelmingly positive they look orward to working closely with us asindustrial mentors and in joint researchand development, and eventually absorbing our graduates into theircommunity.

He continued, A market survey conducted or us by a leading consultingrm among potential students hascon rmed that the level o interest withinthis population in our educational programis more than enough to attract the numberand quality we are looking or.

Three workshops held over the summeraddressed the new schools key areas o ocus, and were a promising insight into

how the full-time program will be received.Nurturing talent in New York is a primary aim for Mr. Huttenlocher: We believethat the best way to keep talent in New York is by building strong ties betweenacademia and the tech community in thecity, and that is what the tech campus is allabout. Were working closely with dozensof companies already, and over time wehope to become a central place for thetech community to gather, share ideasand build community. Of course New York City sells itself in many ways as a globalcapital of culture and commerce, but fortech entrepreneurs to stay we know thereneeds to be a stronger infrastructure inthe community.

Since our students will be engaged with industry for two full years duringtheir graduate studies, working on jointresearch and development projects andinteracting with mentors, they will bestrongly rooted within the New York City tech community when they graduate,added Mr. Gotsman. Many of them willreceive immediate job offers in New York City when they graduate, probably from the companies they interacted

with during their studies, while others will spin off their work with investorsthey have been exposed to over theyears. We believe these advantages willkeep many of our graduates in theircomfort zone in New York City, and thelocal tech industry is so hungry for thesequality human resources that they willgo the extra mile to accommodate ourgraduates.

With the final measures being putinto place for the January intake, Mr.Gotsman was clear about his hopes forthe 2013 program. Our goal is quality (as opposed to quantity) - we wantCornell NYC Tech first and foremost tobe recognized for its quality, in faculty,in students, in its educational offerings,its research and its entrepreneurialplatforms. In fact, in everything it does.This means we will build the campus,the curricula, the faculty, the studentbody slowly - not compromising ontheir quality. This is critical in the early stages. In the long term, this is where we will leave our mark and make a uniqueand lasting contribution to New York City. EO

With graduating students racking up an average o nearly $27,000 in loan debts last year, according to recentndings made by public by the Institute or College Access& Success' Project on Student Debt, scholarships havenever been more valuable to prospective undergrads. Forseveral superstar scholars around the country, excelling intheir eld has opened the doors to their utures. Whetherits playing sports to championship level, participating insummer study programs or demonstrating unrivalledacademic air, Educated Observer takes a look at some o the students whose nancial burdens have been eased by school grants.

Sports scholarships have traditionally been seen as amale dominated area, but 16 year old Lyberty Anderson is testament to the act that girls sporting achievementsshould not be sidelined. The junior at Manchester HighSchool in Virginia became the rst emale in ten yearsto win the Division AAA gol championship last monthin a tournament designed or boys only. Her air orthe game saw her compete against the opposite sex andlead the trail to victory by one putt. In seventh grade,she participated in an adult emale gol championshipand beat players many years her senior. Her on-courseprowess has resulted in an ofer or a gol scholarshiprom the University of Virginia . It is an impressiveeat or the young sportswoman and also sends a clearmessage to aspiring athletes that their hard work and

talent can bring thrillingrewards.

Another recipiento a scholarship is DemarWatkins , a senior at theUniversity of Toledo . A passionor engineering kindled duringhis high school years led to his beingnamed as Ohios Minority EngineeringStudent Scholar 2012, an accolade o whichhe is understandably proud. When it cameto applying or scholarships, I looked aroundand just applied to a select ew. I then got an emailrom the consultants at the program, who told methat Id been short-listed to the nal stages and had todo a ace to ace interview. Receiving $2,500 and onthe job training has proved invaluable or the student, who advises: A lot o people dont apply to scholarshipsbecause they think that they dont have a chance o receiving one, but people should apply anyway becauseby not doing so, youre telling yoursel no. Mr. Watkins was one o just two students to receive the award, which is available to those in the process o studyingcivil engineering degrees and who have maintainedgood grades throughout high school and college. Hehas wisely put the money towards studying urther,using the und to cover a concrete design class that will

undoubtedly continue to nurture his natural abilitiesin the eld.

Academic aptitude also remains an important basisor scholarships. High school senior Kwame Newton

was recently named as an Outstanding Participantby the National Achievement Scholarship Program.The 17 year old ranked in the top 3% o over 160,000students to sit the Preliminary SAT/National MeritScholarship Quali ying Test. The All Saints Academy student received a ull scholarship to Yale s Ivy ScholarsProgram, which he completed during the summer,helping him to develop his skills be ore attendinguniversity ull time. He said, The program was really great Yales such a prestigious school, and there wasa lot o opportunity to talk to people who work in eldsIm interested in. It was pretty intense and really tiring,but really ul lling. Mr. Newton continued to impress while completing the course. He was given the Directors Award or Excellence, an accolade he didnt expectbecause there were over 100 people in the program andI thought everyone was more quali ed than me! Andhe is using the experience to his advantage when llingout college applications or the 2013 intake, explaining,This summer has really helped me as Im applying toYale to study political science. With so many awardsor academic excellence under his belt, Mr. Newton iscertainly well placed to achieve his goals.

Minority students also have certain scholarshipopportunities open to them. Oklahoma University sHerita Akamah has been awarded up to $50,000 topursue her doctorate. For each year o her studies,$10,000 is available provided she continues to meetthe scholarships criteria. She can leave school debt- ree in 2016. The Minority Accounting DoctoralScholarship rom the KPMG Foundation ofersstudents o A rican-American, Hispanic-American

or Native-American descent the opportunity to undtheir studies while enrolled in a ull-time accreditedaccounting business doctoral program. Theoundation has given out bursaries amounting to $10mto 309 minority scholars over the years and states thatits primary aim is to increase the representationo minority students and pro essors in businessschools and increase their completion rate. For the2012-2013 academic year, Ms. Akamah was among 11students awarded a $50,000 grant rom KPMG which,as one o the leading worldwide nancial sector rms,is evidently a company which values nurturing youngtalent.

Stepping away rom the more traditionalscholarships is Sri Radhakrishnan , an undergraduateat University of Colorado Boulder , who has beengranted the schools Astronaut Scholarship Fund(ASF).

competitive programs? How should they, to useMs. Forneys metaphor, best market themselves?

Several experts stressed the a orementionedpreparation and research as being o the utmostimportance. Dr. Don Martin rom Grad SchoolRoad Map says, While this may sound simplistic,the ideal candidate is the person who has done theirresearch, knows the program to which they areapplying, and does the best job o communicating why they and the program are a solid match.

While part o the attraction o going to gradschool is the allure o uture employment, expertscaution against solely practical mentality whenapproaching the application process. Graduateschool it seems should not be looked at as a meansto get a job but the job. Mr. Lo explained i youarent approaching it with the greatest o interest,its a bad start. He has had students who werebeing practical and not passionate, come to himMidterm claiming that they just dont have thestamina or what their courses require. JosephKorevec, Director o Admissions and Financial Aidat Mailman School o Public Health, got slightly more specifc. The most important thing in PublicHealth is the personal statement. It sets the toneor the rest o the application and can potentially set you apart. While poignancy is encouraged,

there is a limit to this as well.Mr. Korevec recalled readingan essay so beauti ul thatit made him cry, but thatailed to mention thestudents area o interestor intended study. This didnot help her application. Heencourages people to think o the personal statementas a happily ever a ter story,conceivably with the program asthe prince, or airy godmother.

Work experience, even i not required,never hurts. Given the current market, it seems morethan likely that students will either choose to or haveto take time a ter undergrad to enter the work orcein some capacity. Thomas Finn, a graduate studentat NYUs Journalism School, believes that his time working as a reelance journalist in the Middle Eastdefnitely aided his acceptance.

Finally, and most un ortunately it doesseem that scores, on the GSAT, LSAT and otherstandardized tests, do matter. It is possible to gaingrad school acceptance without great scores, but itmeans that the rest o the application really needsto stand out. EO
