Ithaca College celebrates LGBT History Month with video series
October is LGBT History Month. Each day throughout the month, a video highlighting a different historical figure will be available for viewing in a special section of The Center for LGBT Education, Outreach and Services’ website: LGBT History Month Featured Videos.
Each of these 31 leaders was nominated by leaders of state, national and international LGBTQ organizations and by the public, and has achieved success in a variety of endeavors, was a national hero, or advanced LGBTQ civil rights. LGBT History Month teaches heritage, provides role models, builds community and educates about unique national and international contributions.
LGBT History Month videos and other materials are made possible by the Equality Forum, a national and international LGBTQ civil rights organization with an educational focus.
Athletic training professor gives lecture at university in Ireland
Paul Geisler, associate professor and program director of the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, recently visited the Institute of Technology Carlow in Ireland to continue work on Ithaca College’s international academic exchange program and to give a lecture to the faculty and students of their rehabilitation and athletic therapy program.
The Athletic Training Education program is now in its third year of a formal academic exchange with the rehabilitation and athletic therapy program at the Institute of Technology Carlow. The full academic-clinical exchange in athletic training education is one of only a few such programs in existence in the country.
Each fall, two senior athletic training majors from the college spend a semester studying and gaining clinical education experiences with patients in their outpatient clinic and Gaelic Athletic Association athletes. Each spring, two senior rehabilitation and athletic therapy students from the institute travel to the college to study and practice clinically with athletic
training faculty and Department of Athletics–certified athletic trainers.
Over the last week of September, Geisler traveled to Carlow to work with the institute faculty on clinical education issues, potential research projects and program administration.
While there, he was invited to present a clinical sports medicine talk to the faculty and students of their program and presented his research on a new, evidence-informed paradigm for iliotibial band pathology in running-based athletes.
