Student Achievement Showcase

Taylor Cinelli

Mentor: Elana Maloney

Taylor Cinelli has been my student for two semesters and consistently impresses me with the level of maturity and excellence in her work. From the very first essay she wrote about her personal journey with alopecia, I knew that she was a student who embraces challenges. Her informative research essay for English 122 is the latest step in her academic journey. It did not surprise me that she chose motivation as the topic, as she is one of the most motivated students I have taught. I am honored to have her talk about her research for the Student Achievement Showcase.

Nessus Vulnerability Scanner:

This presentation will show how to run a Nessus Vulnerability Scan using a laptop. When the scan is complete it will display the variety of vulnerabilities that the Nessus Scan found. The vulnerabilities are grouped into a pie chart and are labeled by ‘Critical’, ‘High’, ‘Medium’, ‘Low’, and ‘Info’. Then view the individual vulnerability’s that have appeared from the scan.

Samantha Scott is a Hospitality Management student who is in her last class which is Travel and Tourism (HOSP 245) and planned a trip to Portland, Oregon as her project for her United States destination. The trip had to include all transportation, accommodations, food and beverage choices and a variety of attractions and sites to visit.  Samantha planned an excellent trip that I want to go on, she did not miss a detail!  The trip was well planned and the itinerary included everything to see in Portland.

Gary’s Presentation will be showcasing his research into alternative and more eco-friendly methods to treat wood for commercial and marine use. This will include a brief introduction and history of wood preservation methods, his own purpose built scaled pressure treatment chamber, a short talk about the natural compounds he selected for his experiment, and his findings thus far.

Randi Knauf project is from our Catering and Event Planning class (HOSP 235).  Randi planned a wedding reception for 100 people which included the venue, timeline, menu for cocktail hour, dinner and dessert, all the décor, transportation, entertainment, timeline of the event and the cost.  You could immediately see her theme and concept from her designs.  Randi plans on becoming an event planner and this project indicates she will be very successful.

NASA Fellow – Megan O’Hare

Mentor: Dr. Pendram Daneshgar

Megan’s project seeks to investigate whether the drinking water source for Monmouth County, Swimming River Reservoir, contains toxic metals. She collected samples from different water passages throughout Monmouth County, all of which branch from the reservoir. She took samples from certain locations once during a winter day, plan to do so after a rainstorm, and once again during a spring day. She will then send the samples to a lab where they will be tested for toxic metals. Toxic metals can have profound effects on human health, which is why it is crucial to determine if our drinking water source contains any worrisome substances.
