Twenty students and two faculty members from the Veterinary Science Technology program attended the New York State Association of Veterinary Technicians (NYSAVT) 2019 Spring Seminar in Syracuse, NY, April 12-14. The NYSAVT Spring Seminar is a professional conference for veterinary technicians to obtain continuing education (CE) hours required to maintain their licensure. Students who attend the conference are able to start building their CE hours as well as network with other students, vet techs, and potential employers. The students reported that attending the seminar was very valuable they were able to draw connections between content learned in their classes and the workshops. Taylor Powers '19 especially enjoyed learning about how to manage stress and compassion fatigue and improving communication skills. "This will help me not only for the rest of my Delhi career but my future career as a busy Vet tech," said Taylor. SUNY Delhi's Veterinary Science Technology program was the first of its kind in the nation and is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Offering both an associate's and bachelor's degree, SUNY Delhi graduates are prepared to become licensed veterinary technicians and care for the health and wellness of animals of all sizes.

Eleven students and four faculty members from the Mechatronics Technology program attended the Manufacturing in America 2019 national convention in Detroit, MI, March 20-21. The Manufacturing in America event is a professional convention for engineers, technicians, automation vendors, students, and others in the manufacturing industry to learn about the latest technologies and plan for the future of manufacturing. The students were able to see demonstrations of cutting-edge technology and have hands-on experiences with new devices and products from industry-leading manufacturing companies like Siemens. They learned about product integrations across industries and attended educational seminars on safety, technological applications of products, and more. SUNY Delhi had a booth in the education zone of the show, the only college in New York State to be represented. The students took turns staffing the table and gave examples of projects they are working on in class. They showcased some of their automation gear and engaged with the manufacturing professionals one-on-one. This opportunity was so meaningful for students because, as Mechatronics majors, they are learning to not only understand or design complex systems (like manufacturing technologies), but also to learn the hands-on applications of building, maintaining, and improving those systems. "This sets SUNY Delhi students apart. We are the only ones doing this type of hands-on training combined with the theoretical background knowledge, preparing students to enter the industry at the technologist level," says Assistant Professor Will Warner.

SUNY Delhi's Mechatronics Design associate degree program was the first of its kind in New York State, and the Mechatronics Technology bachelor degree was the first of its kind in the country.
