Jase Bernhardt, associate professor and director of Sustainability Studies in the Department of Geology, Environment and Sustainability, was interviewed by Newsday about the recent heat wave Long Island experienced can be linked to climate change.
“That dome is allowing hot, humid air to come up from the Gulf of Mexico and the southeast US straight into the Northeast and straight into New York,” said Dr. Bernhardt. “Also, given that we have direct sun angle, the longest days of the year, it’s allowing very hot days.”

Education Professor Alan Singer was interviewed by WCBS-TV News about the Connetquot School District on Long Island school being threatened with funding cuts if it does not reinstate its old mascot name, the Thunderbirds. The name change to T-Birds was made in 2022 to comply with a state ruling that mascot names like “Chiefs” and “Warriors” are demeaning and offensive to Native Americans. The U.S. Department of Education has ruled that these changes are a violation of federal law. Dr. Singer said Connetquot is “caught in the crossfire with the Trump administration, which is at war with blue states and diversity,” and the district’s mascot is part of a much larger political fight.
