Did you read this?

In the Safety Committee minutes last week, you may have seen a reference to new soap dispensers being installed. The soap dispensers are being provided by one of the custodial supplies vendor at no charge to the College. These units use liquid, dispensed as foam instead of straight liquid soap. The bag of chemicals needs changed less often, which streamlines this task for maintenance.

HEADLINERS
MASSAGE THERAPY PROGRAM ONE STEP CLOSER: We are pleased to announce that the State Medical Board of Ohio has approved Washington State to offer a certificate in Massage Therapy. The program will be offered evenings, beginning Spring Quarter (March 28).

On Thursday, December 2, 7:00 p.m., there will be an information session for prospective students and others interested in the program held in H204. It is important to determine if any prerequisite courses are needed, so that students can pick them up during winter quarter.
$100,000 ARC GRANT ON THE HORIZON:  Washington State has been invited to submit a full proposal to the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)  for a $100,000 grant to be used to expand the capacity of Washington State to enroll and graduate a minimum of 50 new specialized healthcare providers for Southeastern Ohio. This is a one year grant which requires a 50% match. If we submit a project with a $150,000 budget we will receive $100,000 in ARC funds and must match with $50,000.  Dixie Stone is working with Ron Kinker to prioritize the faculty and equipment list and provide information to Vicki Biddle to proceed with grant submission.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Parade-watchers in Marietta on November 27, and in Vienna on December 11 will see Washington State represented by a winner! The automotive services and diesel systems program will represent the College with entry of the #18 Dana Racing Dodge Ram truck that is on loan to the program. Two of the program's students will be aboard, along with Bob Feathers.

The truck won the Florida Dodge Dealers 250 Craftsman Truck Series race at Daytona in 2001 after earning a pole position start. It will have a much slower run in the parades, actually being towed.

The one-year loan provides an opportunity for students in the program to work with performance equipment. It also is an attraction that is being used in recruiting efforts. The truck, which was loaned along with the trailer and tow truck to transport it, has been taken to a number of local schools and more are on the schedule.

The Marietta Christmas Parade begins at 1:00 p.m. on November 27 and the Vienna Parade gets underway at 11:00 a.m.

DISTANCE LEARNING UPDATE: Beth Atkin, has been selected to develop an online course in Medical Terminology I as part of the Verizon Foundation Grant project. In September, a $4,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, was received to support distance-learning classes in healthcare.

Todd Colquitt, president-Verizon Ohio, said, “Verizon believes that grants, such as this one to Washington State Community College, help build a skilled work force gives communities a strong economic base on which to attract and retain jobs.”

ART STUDENTS DISPLAY WORK IN PEOPLES COLLECTION: Three of Dan McMannis', Arts and Sciences, students have had pieces exhibited in the annual Peoples Collection show, Day & Night: The Peoples Collection 2004.

Joan Coffey's pencil drawing, Stacy Dockery's oil on canvas, and Doris Morris's oil on canvas, will be on display through November 26, at
Peoples Bank, Putnam Street, Marietta, OH.

The Peoples Collection was formed in 1993 a novel way to enhance the Putnam Street, Marietta office of Peoples Bank. Though the work is not juried for entry, the works submitted are evaluated by a panel of distinguished judges. The theme for this year's submissions is "Day and Night." The judges were impressed with the variety of media and styles of work.
