MORNINGS ON THE HILL
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2019

GOOD MORNING I’M KAYLA BURTON. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
AND I’M ABIGAIL FRIDMANN. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE STORIES WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT OVER THE NEXT HOUR.

THE SYRACUSE STUDENT ASSOCIATION HAS PUT FORTH AN INITIATIVE TO LOWER THE PRICE OF TEXTBOOKS.
PLUS ONE STUDENT ORGANIZATION CONTINUES ITS WORK HELPING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.SEE HOW THEY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE ACROSS CAMPUS.
AND A NEWHOUSE PROFESSOR AND A RECOVERING HEROIN ADDICT DISCUSS OPIOID ADDICTION WITH THE HELP OF A NOVEL.
ALL THAT PLUS YOUR WEATHER AND ORANGE BUZZ COMING UP ON THIS EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR. WITH REGISTERING FOR CLASSES EACH SEMESTER COMES BUYING NEW TEXTBOOKS AND MATERIALS, AND AS WE ALL KNOW–THOSE COSTS CAN START TO ADD UP.
NOW THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION IS WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY TO HELP EASE THIS PROBLEM IN YEARS TO COME. OUR TAMAR TURNER JOINS US LIVE FROM THE SCHINE STUDENT CENTER WITH THE STORY.

THANKS GUYS, ACCORDING TO COLLEGECALC.ORG,THE AVERAGE YEARLY COST FOR BOOKS AND SUPPLIES IS NEARLY 15-HUNDRED DOLLARS. IT IS NO WONDER THAN STUDENTS HAVE BEEN VOICING THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THESE EXPENSES AND ARE LOOKING FOR A CHANGE.AND THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION MAY HAVE JUST THE SOLUTION.
THIS CAN BE AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT, BUT HOW DOES THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION PLAN TO FIX THINGS?
IN ADDITION TO THIS, THEY ARE LOOKING AT OTHER MODELS ON CAMPUS AND HOW THEY ARE APPEALING TO STUDENTS.
BUT MAKING TEXTBOOKS ORE AFFORDABLE ISN’T SOMETHING THAT WILL HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
AND FOR THE STUDENTS, IT IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MONEY AND BOOKS.
REPORTING LIVE, I’M TAMAR TURNER FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.

OLIVIA PROIA IS LIVE OUT ON UNIVERSITY AVE BRAVING THE COLD TO TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT.
WELL I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING FOR SURE RIGHT NOW. IT’S COLD. AND IT’S NOT GOING TO GET MUCH BETTER THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
BUT AS I STAND OUT HERE RIGHT NOW IT’S ABOUT 11 DEGREES, BUT COMBINED WITH WIND CHILL IT FEELS LIKE ABOUT ONE. SO BUNDLE UP IF YOU HAVEN’T HEADED OUT THE DOOR BECAUSE IT’S ONLY GOING TO INCREASE TO ABOUT 15 DEGREES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AND AS THAT TEMPERATURE SLOWLY RISES THROUGHOUT THE DAY SO DOES OUR CHANCE OF SNOW. AROUND NOON TODAY WE SHOULD START TO SEE SOME FLURRIES, WHICH WILL GET MUCH HEAVIER AS THE DAY GOES ON. BY EARLY EVENING WE SHOULD BE FEELING A LITTLE WARMER AT 16 DEGREES, AND BY THEN IT SHOULD BE SNOWING SOMEWHAT HARD. SO BE CAREFUL ON YOUR MORNING COMMUTE HOME BECAUSE THERE MAY BE SOME SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS. LATER TONIGHT WILL BE THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. 19 DEGREES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT’S GOING TO BE HOT! THE SNOW SHOULD LET UP AT ABOUT 9 OCLOCK BUT IT WILL CONTINUE FROM TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO OBERIMA AFRIYIE-BAAH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. I’M KYLAN WATSON LIVE IN THE STUDIO–BACK TO YOU.
STILL TO COME HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
ONE SYRACUSE ORGANIZATION IS WORKING TO CREATE A BETTER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
STAY WITH US–MORNINGS ON THE HILL WILL BE BACK IN TWO MINUTES.
WELCOME BACK.THERE IS AN ORGANIZATION HERE ON CAMPUS THAT GUIDES MEMBERS OF THE DISABLED ORANGE COMMUNITY THROUGH THEIR COLLEGE EXPERIENCES.
OUR LANDON WEXLER JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO WITH THE STORY.
THANKS, GUYS – WHEN S-U STUDENTS THINK OF THEIR CAMPUS, DIVERSITY IS OFTEN ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT COME TO MIND. IT ISN’T TOO OFTEN THOUGH THAT NOTICE OF THE DISABLED COMMUNITY.
MEET OLIVIA. SHE’S A FRESHMAN FROM CARTHAGE, NEW YORK WHO WANTS AN EDUCATION, HAS A BOYFRIEND AND WANTS TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE. HER FAVORITE PARTS OF COLLEGE THUS FAR:
“I LIKE GOING TO EVENTS AND RESTAURANTS AND GAMES. LIKE BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL GAMES”
OLIVIA HAS DISABILITIES – WHICH MADE HER DREAMS OF COLLEGE SLIGHTLY COMPLEX.
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY’S INCLUSIVE-U STRIVES TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO STUDENTS JUST LIKE OLIVIA TO HAVE THEIR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. BUT DISABILITIES RANGE AMONG INDIVIDUALS. SO WE ASKED THE DIRECTOR OF INCLUSIVE-U BUD BUCKHAUT WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME AN INCLUSIVE-U STUDENT?
“WE MODEL OUR APPLICATION AFTER THE APPLICATION THAT S-U PUTS OUT AND THEN WE TRY TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS TOO. SO AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN APPLICATION PROCESS, SO SOME OF THE SCHOOLS ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. SO WE TRY TO ASK THE SAME KIND OF GENERAL QUESTIONS THEY MAY ASK AND THEN WE THROW IN A LITTLE MORE JUST TO GET A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION.”
BUT WITH DISABILITIES, A LOT OF THE TIME, COMES THE NEED FOR SUPPORT.
“ALL THE STUDENTS BRING THEIR OWN SUPPORT PEOPLE TO HELP THEM IN CLASS. WE DON’T HIRE OR PROVIDE THE MENTORS FOR THEM – WE CALL THEM CAMPUS MENTORS. SO THAT’S KIND OF A KEY COMPONENT.”
ALONG WITH THERE BEING THE NEED FOR CLASSROOM AND PERSONAL SUPPORT, OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THESE WOULD REQUIRE THE UNIVERSITY’S SUPPORT. AND ACCORDING TO INCLUSIVE-U COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER KARLY GRIFASI, S-U HAS BEEN DOING JUST THAT.
“THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN VERY WELCOMING. SO, TWO YEARS AGO WE STARTED GIVING STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO LIVE IN A RESIDENCE HALL AND THEY HAVE INTERNSHIPS ALL ACROSS CAMPUS AND WE GET HELP FROM DEPARTMENTS TO PROVIDE INTERNSHIP SITES.”
“AS WE’VE HEARD INCLUSIVE-U HAS TONS OF PROGRAMS TO HELP STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES FEEL AT HOME ON-CAMPUS. BUT FOR ANYONE, INTEGRATING CAN BE A LITTLE BIT TOUGH. SO HOW DO SOME OF THE STUDENTS FEEL THE PROGRAM HAS HELPED THEM?”
JARED KAHN-BAGLEY IS A STUDENT MENTOR FOR INCLUSIVE-U AND HE SAYS STUDENTS HERE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES HERE LIKE NOWHERE ELSE.
“OUR STUDENTS ARE IN SEMINARS, THEY ARE ACTUALLY INTEGRATED IN COLLEGE COURSES, THEY ARE GOING TO ALL THE ORANGE AFTER DARK EVENTS, ALL THE STUDENT EVENTS.”
AND GRIFASI SAYS THAT JUST IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, INCLUSIVE-U HAS GROWN FROM 25 STUDENTS TO OVER 75. SO, WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE THE PROGRAM GROW EVEN MORE GOING FORWARD.

I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW COLD IT IS RIGHT NOW MICHELLE AND FERNANDO. BUT AS THE WEEK CONTINUES IT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO WARM UP.
TODAY OUR HIGH IS A BRISK 17 DEGREES WHICH WE’LL FINALLY BE HITTING LATER TONIGHT AROUND THE TIME YOU’RE HEADED HOME. AND AS THAT TEMPERATURE CLIMBS UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY WE’LL BE SEEING SOME SNOW. IT SHOULD START JUST AROUND NOON AND CONTINUE FROM THEN INTO THE EARLY HOURS OF THURSDAY. NOW ON THURSDAY, DON’T BE ALARMED. THERE’S GOING TO BE A BIG, BRIGHT BALL PEAKING THROUGH THE CLOWDS. AND LUCKY US THAT LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE WILL BE STICKING AROUND FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS – EVEN WARMING US UP TO A HIGH OF 38 DEGREES ON FRIDAY. IT’S GOING TO BE A HOT ONE! BUT THAT TROPICAL WEATHER WILL SLIP AWAY INTO SATURDAY, WHEN THERE WILL BE ABOUT A 60 PERCENT CHANCE OF A SLIGHT MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AND FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK TO NORMAL. SNOW AND COLD. SUNDAY THERES A SMALL CHANCE THAT WE SEE SOME SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND BY NIGHT IT’LL BE PRETTY CHILLY WITH A LOW OF 6 DEGREES.

STILL TO COME HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
WE’LL TAKE YOU INSIDE A PROGRAM AT THE SYRACUSE V-A THAT’S BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VETERANS AND MEDICAL RESIDENTS.BUT IN A WAY YOU MIGHT NOT EXPECT.
WELCOME BACK. SYRACUSE DRAMA STUDENTS ARE WORKING TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN MEDICAL SCHOOL RESIDENTS AND THE PATIENTS THEY SERVE AT THE SYRACUSE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION MEDICAL CENTER.
OUR OWN KENDRA SHEEHAN JOINS US NOW LIVE WITH THE STORY.
THE ABILITY FOR DOCTORS TO RELATE TO THEIR PATIENTS CAN BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR MAKING THE RIGHT DIAGNOSIS.
THE SYRACUSE V-A MEDICAL CENTER IS A TEACHING HOSPITAL MEANING MEDICAL SCHOOL RESIDENTS ROTATE THROUGH THE HOSPITAL EVERY FEW WEEKS.
BECAUSE OF THESE QUICK ROTATIONS RESIDENTS OFTEN DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THEIR MILITARY PATIENTS.
HOW DO WE GET MEDICAL SCHOOL RESIDENTS AND MILITARY VETERANS TO UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER BETTER? ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN THE COLLEGE OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS STEPHEN CROSS BELIEVES THE ANSWER IS THROUGH THE THEATER.
EVERY SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH A GROUP OF SU DRAMA STUDENTS INCLUDING CLAIRE ST MARIE, HEAD TO THE VA TO PUT ON A PERFORMANCE FOR THE MEDICAL SCHOOL RESIDENTS.
THROUGH RESEARCH CROSS FOUND THAT MEDICAL STUDENTS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL HAVE A LOT MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU WOULD THINK.
AFTER THEIR PERFORMANCE ST. MARIE SAYS THE FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS IS POSITIVE
RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN GIVING POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THE PERFORMANCE SO, S-U DRAMA STUDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM AT THE VA ONCE A MONTH TO HELP BRIDGE THAT GAP BETWEEN DOCTORS AND PATIENTS.
FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M KENDRA SHEEHAN.
