MORNINGS ON THE HILL
Wednesday, February 6, 2019
GOOD MORNING I’M FERNANDO GARCIA-FRANCESCHINI. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

AND I’M OLIVIA PROIA. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE STORIES WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT OVER THE NEXT HOUR.

COMING UP ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CODE HAS ONE PROFESSOR FIGHTING AGAINST FAKE NEWS.AND IT MAY COME WITH A HEFTY PRIZE

PLUS THE WHITMAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT IS DEVELOPING A NEW WAY TO KEEP ITS STUDENTS THE FRESHEST ON WALL STREET

AND SOME SYRACUSE STUDENTS ARE TAKING THEIR TALENTS IN ROBOTICS TO THE SUMO WRESTLING SCENE

ALL THAT AND MORE.KEEP IT LOCKED HERE FOR THIS EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.LET’S GET STARTED.

OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR. ONE SYRACUSE PROFESSOR IS IN THE RUNNING TO WIN NEARLY TWO-HUNDRED-THOUSAND-DOLLARS FOR HER PROJECT

MORNINGS ON THE HILL’S ASHTYN HIRON IS LIVE AT THE QUAD TO TELL US MORE.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN. REBECCA KELLY HAS BEEN NAMED A FINALIST FOR THE PROJECT SHE’S WORKING ON FOR THE ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE NEWS OPEN CHALLENGE.

SCROLLING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. REBECCA KELLY REALIZED THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE SHARING FAKE NEWS.

REASONS THAT INSPIRED HER PROJECT. DECODING DEMOCRACY.

SHE IS HOPING TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT WOULD USE ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE.AI. TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE READING AND SHARING.

BUT SU SENIOR HALEY KIM SAYS IT ISN’T ALWAYS EASY TO TELL WHAT’S TRUE. SHE’S WRITING HER THESIS ON A-I AND THAT’S WHERE KELLY’S PROJECT COMES IN KELLY WILL FIND OUT IS SHE HAS WON THE GRANT MONEY BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

KELLY CAN’T EXACTLY SAY WHAT THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL LOOK LIKE BUT SHE DID SHARE THAT THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROJECT THAT SHE’S EVER WORKED ON

REPORTING LIVE AT THE QUAD.IM ASHTYN HIRON. FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

AN OFFICE IN SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY IS PUTTING ITS NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS TO THE TEST.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE OFFICE OF MULTICULTURAL ADVANCEMENT, FORMERLY KNOWN AS PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT.

ACCORDING TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE CHANGE IN NAME COMES AS A RESULT OF STUDENTS NOT KNOWING WHAT EXACTLY THE OFFICE IS ALL ABOUT, AND THAT IS SUPPORTING BLACK AND LATINO STUDENTS AND FOSTERING ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT.

TO HELP WITH THAT THEY HAVE ALSO RECRUITED OVER TWENTY BLACK AND LATINO ALUMNI TO JOIN THE ADVISORY BOARD, THIS WITH HOPES OF CREATING MORE CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS.

“Rachel Vassel says: we like students to find us more easily and connect with us for the programs that we do have for them, and we’d also like alumni to be able to find us”

VASSEL SAYS THESE CHANGES ARE MEANT TO HELP STUDENTS FIND OPPORTUNITIES LIKE SCHOLARSHIPS AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS. MULTICULTURAL ADVANCEMENT IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF 640 SKYTOP ROAD.

TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY. IT IS A BIT COLDER OUTSIDE TODAY.

KENDRA SHEEHAN IS LIVE TO TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT.

WITH MORE SNOW COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.MAYOR BEN WALSH HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW PARTERNSHIP FOR SIDEWALK SNOW REMOVAL.

THE SYRACUSE COMMON COUNCIL APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH J-S-K SNOW SERVICES TO CLEAR SNOW FROM 40 MILES OF SIDEWALKS CONSIDERED HEAVILY TRAFFICKED.J-S-K WILL RECEIVE ONE HUNDRED AND 70 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PLOW SIDEWALKS WHEN THERE ARE MORE THAN 3 INCHES OF SNOW.

RECENTLY A GRADUATE DIRECTOR AT DUKE UNIVERSITY STEPPED DWN AFTER GETTING BACKLASH FOR TELLING HER STUDENTS THAT THEY MUST LIMIT THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE AND PRACTICE SPEAKING ENGLISH IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSRROOM

N-C-C’S KAYLA BURTON TELLS US WHAT SOME SYRACUSE STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY AFTER THEIR PROFESSORS HAD A MUCH DIFFERENT APPROACH OF RECOGNIZING THEM.

AFTER SPEAKING TO A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, MANY WERE BOTHERED AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED AT DUKE. BUT IT DIDN’T SEEM TO HINDER THE GOOD THAT GOES ON AT SYRACUSE.

LUXI SUN IS ONE OF FOUR-THOUSAND-ONE-HUNDRED-AND-THIRTEEN STUDENTS- COMING ALL THE WAY FROM CHINA.

EHLIN HANSON IS ANOTHER STUDENT WHO COMES FROM GERMANY

BOTH WHO HEARD ABOUT THE DUKE GRADUATE DIRECTOR EMAILING HER STUDENTS TO STOP SPEAKING THEIR HOME LANGUAGE AND INSTEAD USE ONLY ENGLISH.

HANSEN WAS DISTURBED AFTER HEARING THIS.

“I think it’s really none of their business, I mean if I speak my own language I’m probably talking about something that I don’t want to talk about in public and I have the privilege to do so, I have another language that I can talk and I think it’s nobody’s business what language I speak in.”

BUT FOR SUN SHE HAS A DIFFERENT TAKE AWAY FROM THE INCIDENT.INSTEAD OF SEEING THE BAD OUTSIDE HER CLASSROOM, SHE SEES THE GOOD INSIDE.THROUGH HER OWN VERSION.

“I have a story to share, just this morning. And this beautiful sentence would come up”

SUN SAID SHE AND HER CLASSMATES HAD A WONDERFUL CHINESE NEW YEAR THANKS TO THE SYRACUSE PROFESSORS WHO MADE IT SPECIAL.

KAYLA BURTON, LIVE FROM MORNING’S ON THE HILL.

COMING UP ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL. SYRACUSE WHITMAN STUDENTS CAN GO TO WORK IN SOME NEW ORANGE STYLE.SEE HOW THE BUSINESS SCHOOL IS WORKING ON A NEW CLOTHING VENTURE

PLUS WE’LL SEE WHAT STUDENTS ACROSS CAMPUS ARE TALKING ABOUT.GILAT MELAMED FILLS US IN WITH THAT MORNING BUZZ WHEN MORNINGS ON THE HILL RETURNS.

ITS A BIT CHILLY OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW ABOUT 30 DEGREES COLDER THAN IT WAS AT THIS TIME YESTERDAY. IT WAS 50 DEGREES YESTERDAY AND NOW WE ARE SITTING IN THE MID 20’S. IT IS DRY OUTSIDE NOW BUT THAT WILL CHANGE AS ME MOVE INTO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

DO NOT REARRANGE THE CODING

THE CLOUDS ARE NOT GOING AWAY TODAY AS WE LOOK AT OUR FORECAST FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THE TEMPERATURES WILL TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 30’S THROUGH THE MID DAY INTO THE EVENING. HOWEVER WE WILL SEE RAIN STARTING ABOUT NOON CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

SOME ICY RAIN IS EXPECTED PUTTING ONONDAGA COUNTY ON A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. BEGINNING AT NOON ALL THE WAY UNTIL 10 PM TONIGHT WHICH COULD AFFECT THAT EVENING COMMUTE HOME. ABOUT 1/4 OF ICE ACCUMLATION COULD BE EXPECTED IN AREAS OF HIGHER ELEVATION THROUGH EAST AND NORTH SYRACUSE. WITH THE RAIN AND ICE ROADWAYS COULD BE SLIPPERY. MAKE SURE YOU ALLOW EXTRA TIME ON THE ROAD IF YOU AR EHEADING ANYWHERE THIS EVENING.

THEY’RE PLANNING TO SELL CLOTHES THAT CAN BE WORN AT INTERNSHIPS AND WORK. ALONG WITH T-SHIRTS AND OTHER APPAREL SOLD NOW.

RACHEL MELVIN, WHO’S A RETAIL INTERN ON THE PROJECT, SAYS STUDENTS WANT TO LOOK MORE FORMAL WHILE REPRESENTING THEIR SCHOOL.

“Rachel Melvin says –we are a business school. We want to look professional. We want to aid our students with professional wear, professional material that they can have, and they also want the students to carry the brand and the legacy of Whitman with them when they go off into their careers as well. So it’s really just elevating that brand image and almost kind of revamping it.”

MELVIN SAYS THEY ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING ITEMS AND ARE EVEN CONSIDERING USING SOME NAME BRANDS.

ONLINE GRADUATE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY THE I-SCHOOL AND THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE HAVE MADE THE TOP 12 OF BEST INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS FOR 2019.

THANK YOU ABIGAIL AND MICHELLE.

THE NEW FALK COLLEGE CAREER SERVICES OFFICE IS UP AND RUNNING WITH RESOURCES TAILORED TO MEET STUDENTS’ NEEDS. THE OFFICE HAS ALREADY SET UP EVENTS AND PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS WITH THINGS LIKE FINDING JOBS OR INTERNSHIPS.

“I started in September. Started to get the program off the ground and running, now we’re officially launching for the spring semester”

SLY MAY BE NEW TO FALK, BUT HE’S ALREADY MADE GREAT STRIDES. FALK COLLEGE ESTABLISHED A NEW CAREER SERVICES OFFICE THROUGH THE INVEST SYRACUSE INITIATIVE. THE OFFICE PLANS TO TAKE A HANDS-ON APPROACH TO TRANSFORM STUDENTS INTO SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES AND FUTURE EMPLOYEES.

Give them the same types of help with resume, cover letter assistance, helping them with networking opportunities, coaching them on how to get through interviews to be successful

To celebrate the new Falk Career Services, staff decided to host a grand opening with plenty of engagement and volunteer opportunities.

OVER 30 ON-CAMPUS AND OFF CAMPUS ORGANIZATION RESOURCES, ACTIVITES, AND CLUBS SET UP TABLES TO INFORM FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORES ON HOW TO GET INVOLVED, POTENTIAL INTERNSHIPS, AND OTHER RESOURCES IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSITY.

There is a lot of resources just in the Syracuse area, specifically the Shaw Center, that’s a place you can find places for internships and they can provide transportation for some internships, so that was a resource that I kind of didn’t know about and have explored more through this experience

EVENTS LIKE THESE AND OTHERS WILL BE AVAILABLE ALL YEAR WITH THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF STUDENTS LEAVING WELL PREPARED TO MAKE A SOCIETY A BETTER PLACE.

THE NEXT FALK CAREER SERVICES EVENT IS COMING UP ON FRIDAY. UPPERCLASSMEN WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET ALUM AND EMPLOYERS. FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M NAIYA BROOKS.

TIME FOR ANOTHER CHECK ON YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY. KENDRA SHEEHAN IS LIVE TO SHOW US WHAT TO EXPECT.

IT’S A BIT CHILLY OUTSIDE NOW TEMPERATURES SITTING IN THE MID 20’S BUT NO OTHER WEATHER ISSUES RIGHT NOW NICE AND DRY OUTSIDE. HOWEVER RIGHT AROUND LUNCH TIME AND MOVING INTO THE EVENING WE WILLL SEE ICY RAIN. THAT COULD CAUSE SOME

SLIPPERY ROADWAY CONDITIONS FOR THAT COMMUTE HOME. BUT LETS LOOK AHEAD TO OUR 5 DAY FORECAST.

THE RAIN WILL STOP AND TEMPERATURES WILL WARM UP TOMORROW HITTING THE LOW 50’S. FRIDAY THE WARMER WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THERE IS A CHANCE FOR EARLY MORNING SHOWERS. THIS WEEKEND THE SUN WILL FINALLY PEAK OUT OF THE CLOUDS FOR BIT. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY TEMPERATURES WILL DROP ONCE AGAIN THIS TIME IN THE UPPER TWENTIES AND LOW THIRTIES. BUT SHOULD BE A DRY WEEKEND.

BUT LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHEN THAT ICY RAIN IS EXPCTED FOR TODAY. RIGHT AROUND NOON THE RAIN WILL BEGIN NOT STOPPING UNTIL LATE IN THE EVENING. EAST AND NORTH SYRACUSE ARE THE AREAS THAT WILL REALLY BE AFFECTED BY SOME ICE ACCUMULATION CREATING SLICK SPOTS ON RROADWAYS AND SIDEWALKS.

THAT WINTER ADVISORY BEGINS AND NOON LASTING UNTIL 10PM. EVENING COMMUTES WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE SLEET. DRIVERS SHOULD USE CAUTION ON RAMPS AND ROADWAYS AND EXPECT SOME TRAFFIC DELAYS.

I KNOW EVERY ONE IS WAITING FOR THEIR W-2’S TO ARRIVE. BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF EMAIL TAX SCAMS THAT ARE FLOATING AROUND.

THESE PHISHING EMAILS TRIES TO CONVINCE STUDENTS TO CLICK ON A HYPERLINK FOR THEIR W-2’S.S-U INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER CHRISTOPHER CROAD SAYS TAX SEASON IS WHEN HACKERS, WHO HE CALLS BAD GUYS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE
