continuing education to the Long Island community in the field
of labor studies, with specific programs for both labor and
management in the workplace."
Numerous courses are offered at the Center in such subjects

employee benefits issues, and workforce management, taught
by Dowling College-approved instructors, who are experienced
labor relations professionals.
Dr. Thomas J. Germano will serve as Director of Operations
for the Center, which will be managed under the Dowling Institute,
a leading provider of corporate training. He is a well-known
arbitrator and the former Long Island District Director for
the Cornell University Industrial and Labor Relations School.
The Center will work with both the public and private sectors
through its main office in Oakdale, and satellite facilities
in Melville, Brookhaven, and New York City.
"Providing quality instruction in labor relations management
and dispute resolution at a convenient location to residents
of Nassau and Suffolk counties is important to the businesses
and overall economy of the region," said Dr. Germano.
