For his Glocal Minute this week, Journalism Team member Brendan McLaughlin comes to you from the NYIT Club Fair in the heart of the academic quad. He’s in front of the Phi Eta Sigma National Freshman Honor Society, and tells us how to join!

The society requires that you must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. It comes with a plethora of trips and volunteer, enabling you to make friends while becoming an active member of the community.

Acceptance is only for Freshman, but it is a great item to put on your resume to help build connections at NYIT and beyond.

This week, Content Manager Joe Dash shows us how to use the escape latch inside the trunk. Most modern cars are equipped with a latch like this that allows you to escape in case you get closed in. This latch glows, so you can find it in the dark. Joe pulls the latch, and is instantly saved! Another crisis averted.

For his Glocal Minute this week Globesville’s Production Team leader Andrew Doughty traveled ten minutes from NYIT’s Old Westbury Campus to Moe’s Southwest Grill in Greenvale. It was particularly packed on this past Thursday, September 19 for Free Queso Day.

Andre highlights that this is the perfect outing for a college student on a tight budget, as you can use your student ID to receive $3 off your meal! Globesville Journalism Group leader Catherine Gullotta joined Andre and expressed a similar sentiment.

If you have any stories or videos from Free Queso day at your local Moe’s send them to us at our website Globesville.com or on Facebook.com/Globesville or @Globesville on Twitter!
