YSU MathFest
YSU MathFest, the best annual event hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, was held on Thursday, October 13. Each and every year, school juniors and seniors from over 40 different high schools go to YSU to pay a single day celebrating and learning topics in mathematics that are not typically noticed in standard twelfth grade curriculum.
This year, 18 different workshops were available from YSU faculty and students with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. These workshops included titles just like Are which you Terrorist?, Discovering the STEM Behind Football, and The Mathematics of Brain Activity.
In with regard to the workshops, students received to be able to meet YSU students, connect to YSU faculty members, and explore what it’s wish to experience an undergraduate degree in mathematics or even a STEM-related field at YSU.
The day concluded with guest speaker Dr. Chris Swanson from Ashland University giving a large group presentation on Mathemagic!

Veterinary Science Expo
The first annual Youngstown State University Veterinary Science Expo occurred on September 29 in DeBartolo Hall. The YSU Pre-Veterinary Society sponsored this launch, which featured three professional veterinarians: Ric Berlinkski, Kelley Kilar, and Tina Costarella. Berlinkski, a vet for the Toledo Zoo, spoke about working with uncommon animals, and said zoo drugs are construction field in veterinary medicine to find yourself in.
Kilar discussed taking care of small, usually domesticated, animals. Costarella, who looks after large animals, talked about eager to start up a veterinary program while using the biology department through which students may have the opportunity job shadow her. Colleen Maskarinec, founding father of the YSU Pre-Veterinary Society, said she was grateful to offer the veterinarians there to interact with and inspire the scholars.
Most of your attendees were YSU students who are pursuing a diploma in veterinarian medicine.

Nucor Dollars and Tons
Nucor conducted their Third Annual “Nucor Dollars and Tons” event on Saturday, October 8,?2016, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.?The Dollars and Tons game is built to simulate how Nucor manages its business along with the competitive environment under which all Nucor divisions operate. Dollars and Tons will help students develop a knowledge of critical financial terms, present them typical business issues, and the crooks to decide inside a fun, fast-paced game environment whereby participants make strategic decisions such as the management team with a real Nucor division.
Five teams through the following STEM student organizations taken part in the 2010 event: American Institute of Chemical Engineering: Chem-E-Car Team; American Society of Civil Engineering: Groups I and II; as well as the STEM Leadership Society. The teams besides competed to get an awesome experience, nonetheless they had the oppertunity to network with Nucor representatives, to cultivate innovative techniques to go into a business in order to apply their solving problems skills to deal with real world applications, as well as foster their team building events skills.
The American Institute of Chemical Engineering: Chem-E-Car Team aka MEATBALL held on for one more year and upheld their reputation being the winners within the Nucor Dollars and Tons event. Bridger Kowalczyk, Brandon Haldiman, Tom Kibler, and Nick Scoumis don’t just held on to their championship as “top dog” to the event, in addition they took home $500.00 with regard to their organization as well as a steel trophy expressed by Nucor using the organization’s name engraved in it.
Physics Students Presentations
Physics students presented at the 2016 Fall Meeting with the Ohio Area of American Physical Science (OSAPS) on October 7 and 8 at Bowling Green State University.
- Brian Schubert presented a paper titled “Examination of Surface Treatments of Implant-Grade Titanium via X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy”
- Christopher Watenpool presented Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Research, “Circumventing Non Ergodic Dynamics in Anharmonic Atomic Chains”
- David Bernard, Martin Strong, and Nicholas McGuigan also attended the conference
- Dr. Snjezana “Snow” Balaz and Dr. Donald Priour provided faculty support for the projects
Cybersecurity Awareness Day
Since October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, ISEHA (Information Security and Ethical Hacking Association at YSU) additionally, the NEOACM (Northeast Ohio ACM) sponsored a “Cybersecurity Awareness Day” at YSU , October 18 in Meshel Hall. The theme at the moment was “Personal Cybersecurity,” keeping safe on the internet.
Wesley Stanton, President of ISEHA, spoke about “Password Cracking” and the ways to generate a password that’s not easy to crack. Jeremy Mio within the Cuyahoga County Department of Information Technology Security and Research Team, spoke on the way to stay safe over the internet. He discussed what behavior you need to avoid online to prevent identity fraud together with other cyber threats.
We should recognize value of being vigilant against almost any cyber threats, while recommitting to ensure we use new digital tools and resources fearlessly, skillfully, and responsibly. This is why “Cybersecurity Awareness Day” is vital and based on ISEHA and NEOACM.
STEM Expo
The STEM Internship and Co-op Expo continues to be become the better-than-ever STEM Expo. Current students and alumni alike may come meet the employers that are now trying to fill full-time positions together with internships and co-ops.
