UNCG dean advocates for jockey health and safety in horse racing

Posted on September 30, 2024

Dean Carl Mattacola is helping standardize protocols that will improve the safety of jockeys and horses.

Horse racing isn’t a sport for the faint of heart. Jockeys steer 1,000-pound horses around racetracks at about 40 miles per hour.

“Jockeys are some of the toughest and most impressive athletes I’ve worked with in my career,” says Dean of UNCG’s School of Health and Human Sciences Carl Mattacola.

Despite the injury-prone nature of the sport, Mattacola says jockeys and horses have historically had few consistent guidelines protecting their health. Mattacola is a member of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA), a private, self-regulatory organization working to make a change for the better. 

HISA has existed for about four years since the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2020 was signed into law. Their goal: create and standardize guidelines to promote the health and safety of both horses and jockeys.

As part of HISA’s Racetrack Safety Committee, Mattacola brings both applied experience as an athletic trainer, as well as research expertise in sports medicine, neuromuscular control, and concussion testing.

“It is a pleasure to serve HISA and improve sports medicine under the leadership of CEO Lisa Lazurus and Medical Director Dr. Peter Hester and advance care for professional jockeys,” Mattacola says. 

Advocating for jockeys

Mattacola has been motivated to help jockeys for over a decade.

He was dismayed to discover that jockeys had less care and oversight than the high schoolers he had worked with for years as an athletic trainer. As a researcher at the University of Kentucky, Mattacola conducted some of the first epidemiological data on jockey injuries in the US.

“The challenge before HISA was that there was no national organization for horse racing,” he says. “You could be injured, have a concussion, go ride wherever you wanted the next day, and no one was going to know about it as long as it wasn’t the same track.”

While his earlier research focused on lower extremity injuries, such as ankle instability and knee injuries, Mattacola decided to pivot and tackle a peripheral topic that could help jockeys: standardized protocols for concussions.

He implemented a pilot program at the internationally recognized Keeneland Race Track where jockeys received standardized baseline testing for concussion, including a physical and neurological exam, clinical assessment for cervical spine trauma, and a balance exam.

If a jockey received an injury while riding, they had to receive medical clearance from a health provider. The pilot proved successful, expanding to multiple racetracks, with over 100 jockeys tested.

“I was one to advocate for standardized baseline assessment for concussions for jockeys,” he says. “In the athletic training profession people had been doing that at the high school and college level for years, but we were applying it in this needed space.”

Creating protocols to help horses, jockeys

Mattacola brought the findings from this pilot program to HISA’s Racetrack Safety Program.

“The majority of my work within this committee was assisting with writing the components of the accreditation that pertains to human health and safety,” he says.

Dean Carl Mattacola is an expert in lower extremity, neuromuscular control and concussion standardization.

Some of the committee’s guidelines include ambulances on site at racetracks, a health professional available to evaluate jockeys, and a person to document any injuries. Mattacola says these protocols help both the jockey and the horse – given that the two are connected to one another throughout the sport.

“A benefit of our work is that this standardization can help reduce both horse and human injuries,” he says. “The other distinct advantage for humans is an organized and coordinated medical care that can be more consistent between states.”

He says his work on the committee resonates with the mission of UNCG’s School of Health and Human Sciences to provide key resources related to the human health experience.

In October, Mattacola and some of his UNCG colleagues will participate in HISA’s International Jockey Concussion, Safety and Wellness Conference. Associate Professor Dr. Jeff Milroy and Professor Dr. David Wyrick who will speak about Strategies for Athlete Communications on Mental Health and Safety.

While he’s pleased with the progress, Mattacola says there’s more to do. “There is more work that needs to be done examining epidemiological, biomechanical, and nutritional factors important for jockey health, which is a strength of the faculty at UNCG HHS,” Mattacola says. “In addition, there is a greater need for mental health care.”

UNCG Alumna Brews Up a Small Business 

Posted on October 01, 2024

Leah Zubke, Bryan School alum and her business partner pose outside of their coffee shop, Ardmore Coffee.

For UNC Greensboro graduate Leah Zubke Reiner ’24, owning Ardmore Coffee in Winston-Salem is a dream come true. She and her husband, Blake Reiner, bought the decades-old shop last fall while they were not married yet and both still working toward their undergraduate degrees. 

Now, the young entrepreneurs are making the shop their own. They’ve got a new logo, employees and furnishings, plus fresh coats of paint, and modern equipment. 

“We had a vision for the place,” Leah says. “Number one, we want a successful business, but we also want it to be a place that people enjoy being at – somewhere people want to bring their friends or family members and just have a nice place to hang out.” 

Living the dream 

Leah’s vision has been growing since she was a child in Lexington, North Carolina. “Both my parents are entrepreneurs, and they own small businesses, so owning a business was always something I was interested in.” 

The idea of owning a coffee shop began to crystallize when Leah got her first job at a coffee shop.  

In the years since, she continued to gain experience as a barista in coffee shops through high school, then community college, and finally UNCG.  

Three years ago, she began working at Ardmore, one of Winston-Salem’s oldest standing coffee shops, and about two years ago, she became manager. Blake, whom she’d known since middle school and dated for four years, also worked there.  

In September 2023, though they were still students, they took up the former owner on his offer to sell the shop to them. 

UNCG’s influence 

Leah and Blake had more going for them than coffee shop experience when they bought the company: Both were gaining business expertise in college. Leah was a senior at UNCG’s Bryan School of Business and Economics, pursuing her bachelor’s in business administration, and Blake was studying business at another local university. 

“It was tough. I was in a challenging semester right around that time, so it probably wasn’t the most ideal time to buy a business,” she says. “But being hands-on and thrown into a situation like that, we learned so much. I don’t regret a single thing about it.” 

Leah adds that the Bryan School, with its emphasis on leadership, prepared her well for business ownership. 

“Being an effective leader and effective manager is really important,” she says. “I don’t think I understood what goes into that until I took a few classes at UNCG.” 

Leah has also relied on what she learned in marketing classes. Dr. Dianne Welsh, Leah’s Family Business course professor, taught her how to effectively conduct business with a partner or close family member. Leah found this especially helpful. 

“Leah applied her understanding of the three parts of family businesses – the family, the business, and the ownership – to her purchase of the coffee shop with her fiancé,” says Welsh. “I look forward to visiting soon.” 

Leah learned conflict management skills in her Conflict Communication course.  

“Leah chose to write her papers on topics that directly related to her future entrepreneurial goals,” says Dr. Pete Kellett, who taught the course. “I’m confident her excellence and integrity as a student now translates into her success as a business co-owner and manager.”  

“The classes I took really pertained to what I was doing in real life,” Leah says. “It worked out really well – the stars just kind of aligned.” 

Early successes 

And the stars continue to align for Leah. 

Since she and Blake refurbished Ardmore Coffee and started marketing on social media, they’ve noticed that more people are stopping in to buy traditional and signature cappuccinos and lattes, along with baked goods. 

“We always do a fun seasonal menu,” she says. “Three or four times a year, we’ll come out with a new menu of maybe four or five drinks that coincide with the weather.” 

Right now, a customer favorite is a caramel black salt latte. “It’s sweet and a little bit salty, and everyone loves it,” Leah says. 

A local baker makes fresh food for the shop every day – muffins, croissants, danishes, and cookies. And Fortuna Coffee of Greensboro roasts Ardmore’s coffee beans.  

Leah and Blake have taken lessons in roasting, so they can prepare their own beans someday. They also have their sights set on opening more locations, but for now their focus is on Ardmore. 

“That’s something that we would really like to do in the future,” she says. “We’re not even a year yet in owning the shop, so we have ideas, but nothing set in stone yet.”

School of Nursing Innovates With Direct Admission 

Posted on September 26, 2024

UNC Greensboro’s School of Nursing (SON) Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is well-known and well-loved.  

The program supports students in developing skills, empathy and compassion for patients and families, navigating challenging situations, and cultivating resilience to handle adversity and stress. It also positions students to develop financial stability in a rewarding career paths. 

And now, this reputable program will be available to more students allowing them to start their nursing journey earlier.  

Enrollment Innovation  

The SON now offers the first UNC system’s Direct Admission initiative for its high-demand BSN program. This streamlined process offers more certainty, efficiency, and savings for eligible incoming first-year students.  

“We are excited to be the first UNC System school to offer direct admission for first year students entering UNCG,” says Dean Debra J. Barksdale. “First-year direct admission provides students with early assurance of their spot in our competitive nursing major. We also still advise and maintain an application process for students who wish to apply later in their UNCG journey.”  

Driven by the SON’s goal to increase enrollment its prelicensure program by 50% in two years, the SON aims to transition 220 new students into its upper division by 2027, an increase from the 140 students admitted Summer and Fall 2024, and to help alleviate North Carolina’s nursing shortage.  

Why Growth Now?  

Why growth now? Because North Carolina desperately needs it.  

The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the registered nurse (RN) workforce to expand 6% by the year 2032, and North Carolina (NC) is one of the top ten states anticipating a large nursing shortage by 2035, at 13%.  

SHEPS Health Workforce NC research also shows metro areas experiencing the greatest RN deficits, with the Northwest/Triad Medicaid region, which includes Greensboro and Winston-Salem, being the most impacted.  

To combat the nursing shortage, the General Assembly of North Carolina directed all UNC System schools to increase nursing graduate numbers by at least 50%. Direct admissions is just one mechanism to ensure UNCG can achieve this charge.  

Before implementing the initiative, SON did its due diligence by conducting interviews with eight regional and peer universities already offering this option.  

And with 92.9% of UNCG nursing graduates staying in NC to work as RNs in diverse settings, program implementation now makes perfect sense to improve the nursing workforce.

Beneficial to First Year Students  

Kristie Davis-Collins, the SON’s director of Pre- and Post-Licensure Programs, will work with SON Office of Student Success and its advisors to oversee the first-year direct admission pathway.  

“Right from the start, new students will be embraced by a community committed to their success, including dedicated nursing faculty and advisors to help guide their journey,” says Davis-Collins. “Advisors help navigate courses, answer questions, and offer materials for student success. Plus, students can build a supportive SON community from the onset.”  

Students applying to UNCG now can opt for the direct admission program. It begins Fall 2025, with an estimated enrollment target of 200+ first-year students.

Why UNCG School of Nursing?  

The UNCG SON offers rigorous clinical experiences in a variety of community settings and delivers community-engaged learning and technology-enhanced nursing education, plus a reputable Veterans Access Program (VAP) to support veterans and active military personnel.  

UNCG nursing graduates are highly sought in the region, working in many regional healthcare settings, specifically with Cone Health, Novant Health, and Advocate Health.  

Graduates select desirable positions and are paid well. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported $84,430 as the 2024 average annual wage for Greensboro-High Point nurses although starting salaries can fluctuate.  

The UNCG Way  

The SON employs innovation to meet the legislature’s charge of growing our North Carolina nursing workforce. First-year direct admit students will experience all the benefits of being a UNCG nursing student and more. 

“This program is about more than just academics,” says Davis-Collins. “It’s about creating a nurturing environment where students grow personally and professionally. By starting their nursing education from the get-go, students immerse themselves in their passion for nursing, connect with like-minded peers, and begin to make a real difference in the lives of others.”  


Direct Admission Benefits

  • Reduced stress: Students identify with their desired program in their first year at UNCG.
  • Direct advising: Students receive dedicated advisors to support their academic journey.
  • Decreased costs: Students avoid any waiting for entry into the nursing program.
  • Student retention: SON avoids loss of students to other nursing programs.
  • School of choice: Students name UNCG as primary school of choice.
  • Community building: Students build a community of peers in the first year.
  • Sophomore or Later Entry: SON maintains its current application process for students.

Spartans Thrive Thursday: All in the Family

Posted on September 26, 2024

A mother and daughter walk up the steps to a door held open by UNCG volunteers.

All the excitement of that first semester at college, decorating the residence hall room, finalizing course schedules, and getting to know new friends, belies that difficult moment of saying goodbye to parents, siblings, and other supporters. 

For some students, it will be offset by the excitement of becoming independent, while others will feel homesick for weeks to come. As students embark on this new journey, Spartan family members can also find their place in the campus community with Spartan Family Engagement

This is a place for parents and supporters to find answers to their questions, to connect with other families, and to stay in touch with UNCG through events or volunteering. 

Loved Ones in the Know 

Spartan Family Engagement is particularly vital for a place like UNCG, where many students are the first in their family to pursue higher education. Parents and family who did not share in the college experience can feel connected and confident in their child’s journey. 

“We can help facilitate conversations, because we know what students typically struggle with,” says Nicole Merritt, Associate Director for Student and Family Engagement in the Division of Student Affairs. “We point parents in the right direction and give them the tools to have conversations, whether it be with a University staff member or their own student.”

Merritt says the most common concerns she hears about from families center around safety and student mental health. She reminds family members about how students can connect with UNCG Police and find other important resources. Additionally, families can help remind students to focus on their well-being

“When their child is stressed about class, and their well-being might be suffering, it is our job to remind parents and families of the resources we have. When students turn to their families, they can say, ‘Have you considered this? Did you know this is a resource?'”

How to Get Involved 

Spartan Family Engagement keeps parents informed through social media and monthly newsletters. This year, they rolled out a new Spartan Family Portal to bring all those tools together in one place for families to easily access what they need. 

“It is a one-stop shop for all things,” says Merritt. “And it doesn’t have to be for just mom or dad. It can work for a cousin or anyone supporting that student on their journey.”  

It also hosts the Parent and Family Advisory Council (PFAC). This group is comprised of students’ loved ones who meet every month to discuss ways to support students. One of their initiatives is the Spartan Family Fund. This directs money toward good causes that help students on campus, such as Spartan Open Pantry.

There is no requirement for families to use services provided by Spartan Family Engagement, but many families appreciate it, and it allows them to stay connected to the campus community. 

“Filtering through some of that information is helpful to family members,” says Merritt. “They know their child, and they can suggest which of our many resources are best for their student.” 

Families can learn more by going to the Spartan Family Engagement webpage or by emailing families@uncg.edu.

Political Activities Policy for UNCG Employees

Posted on September 24, 2024

A UNCG student carries a sign encouraging people to vote.

During the 2024 election cycle, University employees should be well informed about their individual rights and official responsibilities.

University System policy 300.5.1 prohibits University employees from engaging in political campaign activity using University resources (e.g. work time, University spaces, email accounts, official websites and communications channels). The Political Activities guidance (below) provides additional information on various situations that employees may encounter.  Please note that these protocols are specific to employment-related duties/settings and therefore do not impact the right to free expression outside of one’s official obligations in their role with the University; it also does not apply to the right of students/student organizations to engage in sponsorship of political campaign events and/or authorized nonpartisan activity.

Political Activities Guidance

Here are a few reminders for University employees about engagement in political activity. These provisions apply explicitly to the use of public resources (including the University’s name) in support of, or in opposition to, partisan political campaigns. They are not intended to limit discussion among faculty, administrators, and other State employees regarding political or campaign issues or candidates or to limit debates at which candidates have equal time. Anyone can support a candidate on any University property that has been designated as a free speech zone.

  1. No employee may engage in political activity during work time or using University resources. Political activity includes any action directed toward the success or failure of a candidate, political party, or partisan political group. This includes campaigning and/or taking an active part in managing a campaign. In general, employees may not use their position or University resources to secure support for, or to oppose, a candidate or issue in an election in which candidates for office or party nominations are involved. No employee may coerce, promise preferential treatment of, or threaten detrimental treatment of any member of the UNCG community – faculty, staff, or student – in relation to supporting or contributing to a political candidate, political committee, or political party.
  2. Community service leave may be used only for working inside a polling facility in a non-partisan, unpaid role, such as assisting voters with the voting process. If an employee is receiving any payment for such activities or is standing outside the polling facility to distribute candidate information, then vacation/bonus leave or available comp time must be used.
  3. Time spent voting may not be recorded as work time. Supervisors may allow employees to use available vacation/bonus leave or comp time for hours missed during the employee’s regular work schedule for voting purposes. Supervisors also may provide employees a flexible work schedule so that they can make up missed time due to voting within the same work week.
  4. Each member of the University community has the right to freely express their views on any subject, including advocacy for/against candidates for public office, so long as the activity is in compliance with the provisions referenced above.
  5. Due to potential conflicts of interest or time, all EHRA employees (Faculty and EHRA Non-Faculty) becoming candidates for or holding political offices must follow established policy regarding disclosures and approvals of political activity.

If you have questions, please contact Nikki Baker at 336.209.1643 or nmwilson@uncg.edu.
