UE Launches Early Start Education Program For High School Juniors And Seniors
The University of Evansville has launched an Early Start Education Program that will enable high school juniors and seniors to earn college credit. Prior to their graduation from high school, students in the program will be able to complete up to five required courses for an education degree at UE and receive the Early Start Education Program Certificate.
Coursework will include classes in education, psychology, and the health sciences. Students who decide not to pursue an education degree after enrolling at UE can choose another major while still retaining the credits. Several of these courses are required for other majors at UE.
“The program has many benefits to participating students,” said Sharon Gieselmann, chair of UE’s School of Education. “It will reduce heavy class loads, allow students in the program to potentially complete their education degree at UE in just three and a half years, and enable study abroad.”
Beginning in the Spring of 2020, classes will be available at $125 per credit hour. All classes are offered in a convenient online format, making it easy for high school students to get an early start on their college education.
“This is a smart investment for students and their families,” said Gieselman.
UE also has a number of other programs in place to address the need for well-prepared, motivated professional teachers. These programs include the Teaching Fellows Scholarship, Transition to Teaching licensure program, Accelerated Elementary Education Degree program, Ivy Tech articulation agreement, and reduced tuition for transfer students in education.
For more information, contact the School of Education at education@evansville.edu or by phone at 812-488-2368.
Methylene Chloride Draft Risk Evaluation Available for Public and Scientific Review
EPA is asking for public input on a draft risk evaluation of more than 70 uses of Methylene Chloride (MC), including commercial paint and coating removal, consumer adhesives, sealants, degreasers, cleaners and automobile care products. This is the next step in a process outlined by the amended Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to review the risks associated with uses of MC—a process that is designed to thoroughly evaluate the available science before taking action to manage the risk associated with the use of the chemical. Methylene chloride is the fifth of the first ten chemicals to undergo risk evaluation under the amended TSCA.
The draft risk evaluation is not a final agency action. The draft risk evaluation represents the agency’s initial review of the scientific data on these chemicals and will be peer reviewed by independent, scientific experts as well as open to public comment. EPA will use feedback received from the peer review and public comment process to inform the final risk evaluation and will provide frequent updates on the agency’s progress through this process. If EPA’s final risk evaluation finds there are adverse health risks associated with this chemical under any of the specific conditions of use, the agency will propose actions to address those risks within the timeframe required by TSCA. EPA’s actions could include proposed regulations to prohibit or limit the manufacture, processing, distribution in the marketplace, use, or disposal of this chemical, as applicable.
The draft risk evaluation for MC discusses how workers, occupational non-users, consumers, and bystanders could be adversely affected by MC under certain conditions of use. As with any chemical product, EPA strongly recommends that users carefully follow all instructions on the product’s label.
EPA will accept comments on the draft risk evaluation until December 30, 2019 in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0437 on regulations.gov. EPA will also hold a peer review meeting of EPA’s Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) on the draft risk evaluation for this chemical’s conditions of use on December 3-4, 2019. The peer review meeting is open to the public to attend and provide comments.
