New Awards Sarah Bengston, Dept. of Natural Sciences - RAPID: The role of disturbance in

maintaining behavioral variation in native species - NSF - $36,507 In animal populations, patterns of space use and range expansion are inherent-ly behavioral processes, resulting in different and distinct patterns associated with exploration and dispersal. However, we know very little about how recolo-nization of established range occurs after local extinction events nor do we know if it occurs through different mechanisms than mediate range expansion. This grant supports research tracking the relocation and recolonization of ant

colonies into Big Thicket National Preserve, which was submerged with 15+ feet of water for 10 days during and after Hurricane Harvey on the Gulf Coast.

Robert Kunicki, Enrollment Mgmt. and Strategic Academic Initiatives; Kannan Mohan, Paul H. Chook Dept. of Information Systems and Statistics; Stephanie

Gika, Undergraduate Advisement and Orientation - Transfer Pipeline Partnership: Building Momentum through Curriculum, Outreach, & Advising - Graduate NYC -

$200,000 The two-year CCIF award to Baruch College is supporting a curricular rede-sign within the college’s business school, which will give transfer students ac-cess to major courses while they work on eligibility requirements. Additionally, it will support the implementation of faculty working groups and the creation of degree maps for transfer students that will improve curricular alignment between Baruch and its largest feeder community colleges. These important

collaborations and changes should significantly decrease time-to-degree and increase com-pletion rates for transfer students entering Baruch’s business program.

Sanders Korenman and Dahlia Remler, MARXE School of Public and International Affairs - Building a HIPM to Supplement the SPM - Russell Sage Foundation - $28, 715

A National Academy of Sciences Committee recently recommended that the Census Bu-reau and other statistical agencies consider adopting a poverty measure developed by Profes-sors Sanders Korenman and Dahlia Remler. Unlike existing poverty measures, their meas-ure can show how programs like Medicaid and Medicare reduce poverty (video link). Rem-ler, Korenman and fellow researcher Dr. Rosemary Hyson will present to a May 20th meet-ing at the Brookings Institution for a federal government technical working group gathering input from poverty measurement experts on revisions to poverty measures, targeted for 2021.

Esther Allen - Dept. of Modern Languages and Comparative Literature “One Vast Question: The Life & Afterlife of Jose Marti (Biography) ”

José Martí (1853-1895) was an abolitionist and advocate for the independence of Cuba and Puerto Rico from Spain. He was also both a journalist and a poet, and his writing had massive international impact. Martí was also a New Yorker. He spent most of his adult life (1880-1895) in the city, and portrayed it unforgettably in crónicas published across Latin America. But though a statue of him stands at the intersection of 59th Street and the Avenue of the Americas, many New Yorkers are not aware of his place in their city's history. This work aims to integrate

Martí at last into the history of New York, and of the United States.

Tolga Aydinliyim - Narendra Loomba Dept. of Management

“The Implications of Recycling on Engineering Design Decisions and Supply Chain Performance” Firms’ efforts to improve their environmental sustainability performance are usually associated with objectives to “reduce,” “reuse,” or “recycle.” Motivated by interactions with a major player in the aerospace industry, which partnered with its primary material supplier to increase “reuse/recycle” capabilities, this project investigates how said capabilities affect strategies to “reduce” input materials, and consequently, supply chain performance. We find that “reusing/recycling” may dis-incentivize investments toward innovative engineering design solutions that aim to “reduce” input materials, thus yielding elevated supply chain costs and adverse environmental

consequences.

Debra Caplan - Dept. of Fine and Performing Arts

“Make them laugh: Molly Picon and the story of the American Jewish stage” Molly Picon (1898-1992) was the darling of the interwar Yiddish stage and screen and arguably the most famous Yiddish actress of all time. Yet despite Picon’s extraordinary fame during her lifetime, and despite a recent resurgence of interest in the Yiddish stage, Picon has received re-markably little scholarly attention. This project aims to fill this gap with the first book-length study of Molly Picon and her legacy. Debra Caplan is an Assistant Professor of Theatre specializ-ing in world theater, Yiddish theatre and drama, theatrical travel and Jewish performance

culture.

Arturo Castellanos - Paul H. Chook Dept. of Information Systems and Statistics

“Evaluating the Effectiveness of Conceptual Modeling as an antecedent to Applied Machine Learning” With the transformation of our society into a “digital world,” machine learning has emerged as an essential approach to extracting useful information from large collections of data. This re-search studies how conceptual modeling can advance machine learning by: (1) supporting the application of machine within organizations; (2) improving the usability of machine learning as decision tools (e.g., model interpretability); and (3) optimizing the performance of ma-chine learning algorithms. We propose research directions that can help understand how con-ceptual modeling can support and extend machine learning research.
