A Zoom Call with Ms Nilda Nelson the Public Safety Administrator 

On Wednesday April 3rd, 2024 PTW students had the nice opportunity to have a Q & A session with LIU Post's Public Safety Administrator Ms Nilda Nelson! We had such a nice time chatting with Nilda listening to her job experience at LIU Post, hearing about campus safety tips, and learning other challenging experiences that Nilda and her Public Safety crew has had to face here at LIU Post. The students asked excellent questions to spark interesting conversations that were related to topics that we have been studying in class such as "Public Safety" and "Security Guards". Nilda stated being a good listener to accurately document reports is important at her job and being aware of your surroundings was an important tip she noted with regards to being safe on campus!   Thomas

A Visit from Two LIU Students Who are Studying Animal Care.

We had two specials guests today 10/20/23 visit PTW whcih we were super excited about. Ms Nicole and Ms Amanda stopped by to say hello and share their experience as students at LIU studying Animal Care and caring for a variety of animals. They both talked in depth about the horses that they love and tend to at the stables located on the campus of CW Post! Below are some responses from our 1st year PTW students who really enjoyed what Nicole and Amanda had to share. The two students did an absolutely amazing job with google slides to go with the info that they were sharing with our class. We were so fortunate to have these guests! Thank you Nicole and Amanda! Check out the photos!

Two things that we have learned about taking care of animals presented by Nicole:

• Nicole has spent most of her time being an equine scientist which involves making sure that the horses are groomed and treated properly without violence.
• Nicole has worked with many animals in her spare time from seals to insects to even goats.

by Caleb

I like how I learned how Nicole and Amanda work with the horses.

I also learned how Nicole likes science.

I also learned how Amanda will be a teacher one day.

From Margaret Lindquist

Nicole's favorite animal, which is whales. two things I learned today is that she studied Marine Biology in High School and I learned how she cleans the horses and takes care of them to make sure they are groomed well.  by Jared

What I learned is that taking care of animals is the most responsible thing that we do to help poor animals. What I like about Nichole is she talks about animal experiences, all different types of animals and going around the country to studies different types of animals. From Carlos

Her favorite animal is a whale. I find whales very cool because they can talk through their blowholes. They are almost like singing a whale song all about finding other whales.  by Cassidy
