The Vanderburgh Humane Society’s 24th annual Going, Going, Gone to the Dogs! Benefit Dinner & Auction, sponsored by Pet Food Center and Jack Rogers Realty, will be held Saturday, May 18, 2019 at Old National Events Plaza. This year’s theme is, “Fantastic Pets and Where to Find Them” and will be hosted on a new date at a new venue! The auction typically nets over $60,000 each year for the VHS, which serves the largest number of animals in the Tri-State each year.

The VHS receives no tax-based funding and therefore must depend on the generosity of the corporate community and the public to continue the much needed services it offers. The 24th annual GGGD Benefit Dinner & Auction is designed to be the largest single fundraising event for any animal welfare organization in the Tri-State. The auction will feature a preview cocktail party, dinner, and both silent and live auctions. Higher-valued items, unique items, or packages with high interest will be featured in the live portion of this successful event.

Tickets are on sale now for this event at www.vhslifesaver.org. Individual seats begin at $90 per plate, with benefactor tickets available at $125 and tables of 10 available at $1000 (individuals) or $1250 (businesses.) Tickets will not be sold at the door, so patrons should plan accordingly and make advance reservations. Dress is business casual or themed attire.

VHS is also still accepting donations valued at $25+. Just about anything has a place at “Fantastic Pets” including baskets, gift cards & gift certificates, services, artwork, jewelry, vacation packages, sports memorabilia, antiques, and more. Donating to Going, Going, Gone to the Dogs! is a great way to show philanthropy and advertise your business to almost 300 patrons in a single evening!

To purchase tickets, please visit https://www.vhslifesaver.org. To donate auction items or for businesses who wish to sponsor the event or purchase a corporate table, email events@vhslifesaver.org or call (812) 426-2563 ext. 218!

EVSC School Board Approves Innovative RAMP Initiative

0

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation School Board approved a first-of-its-kind comprehensive work-based learning program in Indiana that completely embeds high school students within an Evansville-based industry. RAMP, Real-World Application; Maximizing Potential, is a program through EVSC’s OptIN, in partnership with AmeriQual, where students will work side-by-side with industry experts to acquire manufacturing skills that they can use, upon graduation, to acquire a high-wage, high-demand career.

“The collaboration between OptIN and AmeriQual to establish RAMP is truly an innovation in education. It creates an unprecedented learning environment that will increase student hope, engagement and success,” said EVSC Superintendent David Smith. “RAMP will empower students to be successful by teaching not only traditional subject matter, but also provide transferable skills such as the ability to collaborate, think critically, problem solve, communicate effectively and demonstrate ethical practices. All of which are highly sought after by employers.”

Beginning this fall, students in RAMP will work and attend class on the AmeriQual campus on Highway 41 in Evansville. The classroom will be a hybrid where teachers will meet students where they are on the path to graduation. The students’ day will be split between four hours of on-the-job work and four hours of classroom time. This experience will provide students with an opportunity for hands-on learning and the ability to apply what they are learning in the classroom to the real world.

“AmeriQual, like many businesses right now, is always looking for qualified employees to join our team,” said Mirsada Salihovic, vice president of human resources.  “RAMP will allow us to create a pipeline of skilled workers who are already part of our family and who can be successful whether they stay at AmeriQual upon graduation or move on to something else.”

The initial RAMP cohort will include 80 students who will be selected through an application process based on need. The program fulfills the requirements for students to graduate with the opportunity to earn several certifications; including, MSSC Certification, OSHA 10 and a Forklift certification which all lead to high wage high demand careers. Students will get paid for their work and be eligible for attendance and productivity bonuses.

Going forward, the EVSC hopes to expand the program not only within AmeriQual but also work to include additional local companies and businesses.

Students interested in applying for RAMP can visit www.EVSCschools.com/RAMPapply or speak with their school counselor.

Students Prepare for EMT Testing-April 11


What:Paramedic Training (hands-on; live)


When: Thursday, April 11, 9 a.m.


Where: Ivy Tech Community College
3501 N. First Avenue
Room 219

Background: Thursday is the final paramedic training event prior to Ivy Tech students taking the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Psychomotor Skills Exam on Saturday. The Paramedic Science program prepares students to recognize, assess, and manage medical emergencies in pre-hospital and clinical settings. Includes instruction in emergency surgical procedures; medical triage; rescue operations; patient stabilization, monitoring, and care; drug administration; identification and preliminary diagnosis of diseases and injuries; and professional standards and regulations. There are more than 220 openings annually for positions in this field. Students benefit from 360 hours of clinical experience, 400 hours of an internship using hands-on experiences in actual patient care settings. The curriculum is a careful mix of lecture, demonstration, in-class skill practice sessions and clinical rotations. Through all of these experiences, students obtain the knowledge and skills to allow them to function in the ever changing world of Emergency Medical Services.

The Paramedic Science program is a selective admission program. When students apply to the College, they will be accepted into Healthcare Specialist with a concentration in Paramedic Science while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The Paramedic Science program accepts a limited number of students each year and there is a separate application process.

This year’s class of students are benefitting from the generosity of long-time Ivy Tech Donor Gayle Rood. She is funding the cost of the Psychomotor Skills Exam for students in their final semester. Rood began a scholarship endowment in 2008, in memory of her late husband, Joe.

Joe was certified as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) instructor and as an EMT-Paramedic in 1970. He founded the Wisconsin EMT Association and served as the editor of the Wisconsin EMT Association Journal from 1971 to 1975. In 1975, he moved to College Park, MD, to become the senior instructor and coordinator of EMT training for the University of Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute. Joe joined the staff of Deaconess Hospital in 1977. During his 28-year career at the hospital, he served as Emergency Medical Services Coordinator and a Clinical Quality Improvement Analyst. He also served as the external liaison for emergency communications.

USI’s EdD Program admitted to Carnegie consortium on analyzing doctorate in education

0

The University of Southern Indiana Teacher Education Department’s Doctor of Education (EdD) Program has been chosen as one of nine new members of the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED). USI will join 105 current institution members in the important work of redesigning professional practice preparation in education for the improvement of PK-20 education and the organizations that support it.

“This is a very prestigious honor to be accepted as a member of the CPED project,” said Dr. Tori Colson, USI assistant professor of teacher education. “The Teacher Education Department is very excited to utilize the CPED Framework to design, evaluate, and improve the Doctor of Education degree program.”

CPED is the knowledge forum on the EdD with a membership of over 100 colleges and schools of education, which have committed resources to work together to undertake a critical examination of the doctorate in education through dialog, experimentation, critical feedback and evaluation. New members were chosen through a rigorous application process and evaluated by a membership committee composed of leaders of current CPED institution members.

“A major benefit of being a CPED member is access to a supportive and resourceful community of colleagues from schools of education in three countries that is dedicated to transformative work,” said Colson.

“We’re very excited to welcome these new institution members to CPED’s growing consortium and to see the contributions they will make in transforming the EdD to meet the educational needs of the 21st century,” said Dr. Jill A. Perry, CPED executive director.

USI launched its EdD Program in fall 2018 in response to requests from area education professionals for an education doctoral program. The program is geared toward working adults, with classes being offered in eight-week terms during the evening and through online delivery. Students choose between concentrations in administrative leadership or pedagogical leadership and complete a total of 45 hours of coursework and field experience. The program culminates with a dissertation, which may be completed individually or as part of a small team.

For more information about the EdD Program, contact Dr. Bonnie Beach, USI associate dean of Teacher Education, at blbeach@usi.edu.
