PLATTSBURGH (April 29, 2013) — A graduate student in SUNY Plattsburgh’s Master of Science for Teachers program and an undergraduate history major were this year’s winners of the Douglas R. Skopp Creative Competition on the Theme of the Holocaust.
Deborah Katz, who is working toward her master’s in teaching, was awarded the prize for her poem, “A Granddaughter’s Onus.”
“I wrote the poem one night after I needed to interview both my grandparents for an assignment on oppression,” Katz said. “It was a catharsis of a confusing tangle of emotions: sadness, fear, hope and love.”

09:32am EDT, 26 Apr 2013
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (April 26, 2013) — SUNY Plattsburgh graduate student Sarah Wild recently received the national Hank Nuwer Anti-Hazing Hero Award from HazingPrevention.Org.
Wild, who is working toward a master’s degree in student affairs counseling, joined the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority in the fall of 2009. She said the sorority psychologically hazed her and other pledges. Dressing up in embarrassing apparel and performing song and dances for older sisters were some of the smaller incidents that made a big impact on Wild.
“It made me feel belittled and small,” she said.
After she was initiated, Wild decided to take a stand against hazing. She started with her own sorority by running for president the following year.
“There were definitely sisters who supported me, but the loud, select few who were really determined to continue the behavior often overshadowed previous efforts to discontinue the behavior,” Wild said.
