Consumer Alert: Not all presents provide comfort and joy, check your gifts for flawed products that could harm your family

Attorney General Todd Rokita alerts Hoosiers of recalled items sold in December 

Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers of important consumer protection concerns for products recalled during the holiday season. 

“Christmas may have passed, but our children’s gifts could still be dangerous,” Attorney General Rokita said. “As a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or friend, you should not have to worry if a product you purchased for your precious little one could cause harm. Do not allow a flawed product to put your family in danger. Please stop using recalled items immediately and pursue resolution from the manufacturer.” 

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the following consumer products were recalled in December:   

There are many more items that need to be double checked before using regularly. 

If you believe you recently purchased a recalled product, stop using it, and check its recall notice. Then, follow the notice’s instructions, including where to return the product or what steps must be taken to receive a replacement product.   

To view recalls issued prior to December, visit the Consumer Protection Safety Commission website.

USI English Department to add two new minors for Fall 2024

0

The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts English Department is adding two new minors, business humanities and medical humanities, to its program offerings. These two new interdisciplinary minors have been created to give students a well-rounded and comprehensive education focused on developing important social skills in the realms of business and medicine. Studying the humanities helps students develop skills that are uniquely human; skills artificial intelligence and computers cannot recreate.

The business humanities minor is a complementary addition to a degree in accounting, business administration, economics, finance, management or marketing. Studying business humanities, which intersect areas like culture, ethics, global studies and psychology, helps students develop important skills like research, analysis, critical thinking, cross-cultural competence, empathy and imagination. Through learning and practicing these important skills, students will become more thoughtful, creative and human-centered citizens and future employees.

The medical humanities minor is a strong pairing to a degree in health services, nursing, or radiologic/imaging sciences or pre-professional programs like pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-pharmacy or pre-physical therapy. Studying the medical humanities, an interdisciplinary field that intersects areas like literature, ethics and culture, helps future healthcare providers become effective listeners, observers and interpreters. Research also shows that professional school programs (like those in medicine and dentistry) seek well-rounded applicants who have empathy and strong communication skills, and the medical humanities help students develop and practice these important skills.

“In developing the new minors, we also created new courses in these areas, and the minors and individual courses are open to all USI students.” said Dr. Kristin LaFollette, Assistant Professor of English. “Business and medicine are fields that rely on successful human interactions and collaborations along with empathy and creative-critical thinking, so we are looking forward to being able to help students gain these valuable skills and apply them to their lives, relationships and future careers.”

These minors will be available beginning in the 2024 Fall Semester.

0

The University of Southern Indiana International Club and Center for International Programs will host the annual International Food Expo from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, February 16 in Carter Hall, located in University Center West on campus.

The International Food Expo provides an avenue for USI’s international students to showcase the rich tapestry of their home countries’ cultural diversity, customs and cuisine to both the USI community and public. The event will feature many main dishes and desserts from around the world, complemented by entertainment, including dances, musical performances and a fashion show highlighting traditional cultural attire.

“Our international students are ambassadors of their respective countries and cultures,” says Dr. Emilija (Emi) Zlatkovska, Executive Director of the Center for International Programs. “These students bring a little of their worlds to the USI campus, which gives our domestic students and the community an opportunity to learn about other cultures. The International Food Expo is a fun way to enjoy multiple cultures in one setting and is an example of creating friendly and peaceful global connections.”

Tickets can be purchased on the Food Expo website and are $15 for non-USI students, faculty, staff and community members and $10 for USI students. Tickets can also be purchased with cash or Munch Money at Eagle Bistro or the Eagle Access Card Office, both located in University Center West. Tickets can be purchased the day of the event.
