Dr. Richard Explores Consumer Behavior, Marketing Topics in Published Research

SUNY Polytechnic Institute Associate Professor of Marketing Dr. Marie-Odile Richard has co-authored new research titled, “Technology Emancipative and Traditionalist Value in Cross-Cultural Market Segmentation.” The paper was recently published in the International Journal of Information Management. This research sheds light on how different cultural and demographic factors shape consumer attitudes toward technology. More specifically, it offers significant implications for businesses aiming to create culturally sensitive marketing strategies. By recognizing these consumer segments, organizations can design products and communications that better resonate with global audiences.

She also made significant contributions to understanding consumer behavior in today’s digital marketplace through two newly published research studies. In her first study, published in the International Journal of Information Management, Dr. Richard explored location-based advertising — those ads you get on your phone when you’re near a store or restaurant. While these ads can be helpful by giving you relevant deals and suggestions, they can also feel invasive if people feel their privacy is at risk. Her second study, published in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, focuses on how culture influences shopping habits. Dr. Richard and her team studied the idea of “indulgence vs. restraint,” or more specifically, how much people in different cultures like to enjoy life and treat themselves versus how much they hold back.

And finally, she co-authored a study exploring how serious games can enhance business ethics education. The research, published in the Journal of Management Education, examines how socio-technical and cultural factors influence students’ ability to learn ethical decision-making skills in immersive gaming environments.

The program provides a broad view of nursing education with courses that range from the esoteric (“Theoretical Foundations for Nursing Practice”) to the eminently practical (“Grant Proposal”) while preparing grads for work in academia or in-house staff development.”

Dr. Kittleson and Peers Publish New Research on Fatherhood Project

SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Dean of the College of Health Sciences, Dr. Mark J Kittleson, collaborated with a research team from New Jersey to publish a manuscript titled, “The FELLAS (Fathers Empowered to Learn, Lead, & Achieve Success) Fatherhood Project: Pilot Study Results,” in the Health Behavior and Policy Review journal. This study evaluates the outcomes of a funded initiative aimed at enhancing fathers’ parenting skills and supporting their journey toward economic stability. The FELLAS program focused on improving communication, conflict resolution, positive parenting skills, financial management, and employment status among participants. Fathers completed detailed questionnaires at the program’s start, conclusion, and a 6-month follow-up, with findings indicating significant improvement in all six outcome measures. The promising results of this pilot study are driving the development of a more rigorous assessment of the intervention, highlighting the potential of such programs to create lasting positive impacts on families and communities.

Numerous Publications This Past Year

Numerous faculty have been extremely active in publishing or presenting at national/international conferences.  Dr. Jarrett Rose (Community & Behavioral Health) had 3 publications and 4 presentations;  Dr. Natalie Stepanian and Krystina de Jacq (Nursing) collaborated on two publications and 2 presentations, and Dr. de Jacq had a third publication separately.  Dr. Nicolas DePaula  (Health Information Management) gave 4 national presentations;  Drs. Pat Roach and Cynthia Grabski (Nursing) also gave two national/international presentations.  Finally, Drs. Louis Dean-Kelley and Cynthia Grabski authored two chapters in a recently released textbook Nursing Practitioner, Transition to Practice. 

SUNY Poly Student Completes Community Health Nursing Internship in Belize

SUNY Poly student Jorge Grant embarked on a two-week journey in tropical Belize last summer, immersing himself in community health nursing practices. Through the Center for Engaged Learning Abroad (CELA), Jorge joined a select group of nursing students for a one-of-kind clinical shadowing experience, gaining invaluable experience in global healthcare delivery. Jorge spent one-week shadowing nurses in hospital facilities in San Ignacio and another week with community health workers in surrounding towns and villages. His clinical placements included public and private hospitals, medical centers, and home visits with community health workers, providing a comprehensive view of Belize’s healthcare system.

Throughout the internship, Jorge engaged in various activities, including an introduction to Belizean history, culture, and society, and interactions with a diverse array of nurses and other medical professionals. He also participated in an organized wilderness excursion, exploring Belize’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. This experience helped him achieve the requirement for NUR 475, a course he was taking. More specifically, he worked with Dr. Doreen DeCorah, who facilitated his ability to have this meet the course requirements.

Research Highlights

SUNY Poly Launches 14 New Research Centers to Expand Innovation, Interdisciplinary Collaboration

In a bold stride toward shaping the future of interdisciplinary research, SUNY Poly has launched 14 new research centers over the 2023-2025 academic years. These centers represent one of the most significant research expansions in SUNY Poly’s history, supported in part by historic increases in state funding to SUNY campuses. While the development of these centers has been driven by faculty expertise and strategic planning, this enhanced state support has played an important role in making their creation possible.

Among the new additions is the Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIX) Center, co-directed by Drs. Steven Schneider and William Thistleton. AIX supports AI research through labs focused on foundation models, user experience, and applications development. Similarly, the Center for Safe and Secure AI Robotics (CESSAIR), directed by Dr. Emilio Cobanera, advances autonomous robotics with a clear emphasis on safety and societal benefit.

In materials and manufacturing, the Global Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (GCAMM), led by President Wole Soboyejo, connects researchers across disciplines to develop cutting-edge solutions for global challenges. The Center for Advanced Semiconductor Materials and Devices (CASMAD) and Wireless and Intelligent Next Generation Systems (WINGS), under the leadership of Drs. Iulian Gherasoiu and Arjun Singh, respectively, are pushing boundaries in semiconductor innovation and terahertz communications.

The Center for Health Innovations and Humanitarian Engineering, led by Dr. Joanne Joseph, bridges health sciences and engineering to address pressing physical, mental, and environmental health needs. Likewise, the Center for Design, Interdisciplinary Research, Electronic Technology, Art and Media (DREAM), headed by Dr. Ana Jofre, infuses the arts into the technological core of SUNY Poly’s research, while the Center for Business and Applied Ethics, directed by Dr. Jim Staihar, explores the moral dimensions of innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Center for Smart Infrastructure and Sustainability (CSIS) and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Research Center, led by Drs. Zhanjie Li and Byeongdon Oh, respectively, emphasize SUNY Poly’s investment in creating sustainable and inclusive futures through research, education, and community engagement.

Building on this momentum, SUNY Poly launched four additional centers in early 2025: the Applied Electromagnetics and RF Circuits (AE&RFC) Research Center under Dr. Abdullah Eroglu, the Center for Cybersecurity Research and Innovation (CCRI) under Dr. Mahmoud Badr, the Center for Intelligent Manufacturing (CIM-A2SAP) under Dr. Jasim Uddin, and the Center for Nature Inspired Engineering (CNIE) under Dr. Xinrui “Sarah” Niu.

Together, these 14 centers are emblematic of SUNY Poly’s strategic vision: expanding research capacity, fostering interdisciplinary excellence, and driving innovation for societal impact. With a 119% increase in sponsored research over the past three years, SUNY Poly continues to chart a course as a leader in research, discovery, and innovation.
