t’s a scene that can’t help but bring a smile to
your face. Three young men, in dress shirts, are
hunched over iPads with a group of senior citi-
zens, all women. They’re helping them learn the ins
and outs of tablet technology.
The technology is frustrating, and the women are
full of questions, but this group of Bowling Green
State University students patiently answers and walks
them through the solutions to various problems.
The technology classes at the Wood County
Senior Center are the brainchild of Dr. Kate Magsa-
men-Conrad, an assistant professor of communica-
tion, who got the idea while staying with family.
“I taught my grandmother how to use a laptop
and it was a disaster,” she said. “It required so
much more than I was able to give. There was a
need for someone to teach a small-group commu-
nication course.”
Dr. Nancy Orel, a professor and director of the
gerontology program, pointed her to the Wood
County Committee on Aging.
Magsamen-Conrad introduced the technology
classes to her students for the rst time in the
spring of 2013.
Classes this fall ranged from one that focused
on iPads to a “try it before you buy it” class that
allowed the seniors to get their hands on an array
of tablets. This semester’s students also use a work-
book developed by the spring semester class.
During one class, the students showed the seniors
how to download apps, surf the Web and take pho-
tos and video on an iPad. They also posed for test
photos, talked about the new Apple operating sys-
tem and did a lot of troubleshooting.
“The rst class, we didn’t know what to e pect
and then once it started going it ust ew. Before
you knew it we were going ve minutes over our
allotted time period,” said Jacob Olson, a junior
majoring in communication.
“I learned if you have a thirst for knowledge
it doesn’t matter how old you are”, said Daniel
McHenry, a senior who took the class in the
spring and is now an undergraduate mentor.
“Seniors get e cited about the technology and
as long as they’re willing to learn and we’re
willing to teach, it’s fun.”
Magsamen-Conrad said these classes go
beyond teaching seniors to use tablets by also
helping them navigate the technology that
seems to be taking
over even the most
mundane items.
“There is so much
technology and
basic technology
literacy that leaves
some groups of people
behind,” she said. “Our
seniors have talked
about seeing parking
meters that look Space Age and sitting at din-
ner and getting an iPad and not a menu. We are
trying to reach out to this demographic, to help
build a foundational
knowledge that will
translate into other environments and enable them to
interact with our society today.”
Betty Laukhuf, 80, bought her iPad over the summer
at the suggestion of her daughter. “I wanted to learn.
We’re out of it if we don’t. We have to stick with it,”
she e plained.
Laukhuf, a BGSU alumna, also said she loves work-
ing with the students. It’s a feeling that is de nitely
mutual. Magsamen-Conrad said as the classes come
to a close, students often say they’re sad their time
together is ending. It’s a
relationship that evolves
from teacher-student
to one where McHenry
said the seniors feel
more like the students’
grandparents.
Magsamen-Conrad
said these classes are
de nitely teaching her
students to become
better at interacting not only among themselves in a
group, but also with an audience far more like the one
they will encounter in their work careers. X

ADRIAN COLLEGE
drian College, in collaboration with
Michigan International Speedway, provides
a unique experience for area middle school students.
In the year since the partnership with the Michigan
International Speedway and Adrian College began,
they have developed and implemented a successful
eld trip program for middle school students.
The partnership and program is called Track and
Explore and has aided Adrian College’s biology and
teacher education students with opportunities
for research. The opportunity also extends their
outreach to a younger generation to help teach
them about animal and plant life.
“This exciting partnership has exceeded our
expectations,” said Dr. Agnes Caldwell, Vice
Track and Explore Program at Adrian College offers one-of-a-kind field trips
President and Dean of Academic Affairs at Adrian College.
The Track and Explore program initially started in
the fall of 2012, and has since created the opportunity
for more than 1,200 middle school students to learn
about the ecosystem of the Irish Hills area. Adrian College

raduating college students are always looking for an edge in what is
becoming an increasingly competitive job market. Regardless of their
career path – business, social work, education, medicine, sports –
graduates nd that the competition for jobs is erce, and their diploma and
resumé need to stand out from the crowd.t e ance ollege, students are getting a distinctive advantage based on
a curriculum that is becoming progressively focused on precisely the kinds of experience and skills that employers are looking to hire. National advisory boards in numerous majors are enhancing the academic experience and ensur-ing that the college’s programs are cutting-edge.
he advisory boards bring together e ance ollege faculty with experts from across the country to provide real-time and real-world advice. For example, cor-porations and organi ations such as rice aterhouse oopers, ntel orpora-tion, mithsonian nstitution, and the etroit igers are represented on boards.
Lisa Marsalek, director of career development and assistant dean of stu-dents, notes that the boards provide a great opportunity for faculty to engage with experts in their professional discipline or program area. The profession-als share the latest trends in their elds and discuss strengths and weaknesses they are seeing in college graduates entering their profession. This in turn helps e ance ollege evaluate if the current curriculum is on target or how the college can better prepare students for their careers.
Dr. Gregg Gunsch, professor of digital forensic science, is pleased with the interaction he has had with the digital forensics advisory board. He describes
its members as a diverse cross-section of professionals in industry, academics, and law enforcement at the local and federal levels. “We have tool users and tool developers,” Gunsch explained. The advisory board has also been able to provide

enry Ford once said, “If everyone is
moving forward together, then success
takes care of itself.”
At Northwest State Community College, that
spirit is alive and well. From transfer partnerships
with other colleges and universities to community
events hosted on campus, collaboration can be
seen in various forms.
Many students who want to earn a bachelor’s
degree, or beyond, choose to start their educa-
tion at Northwest State and transfer their credits.
NSCC has strong partnerships with other colleges
and universities, which help make the process eas-
ier and provide more options for students. Some
of those partnerships include:
2+ 2 degree options: Students can take the rst
two years of a bachelor’s degree at Northwest
State and transfer seamlessly into the nal two
years at a partnering institution.

“
Transfer module: This program is 40 credit hours
that will transfer to any Ohio public college or
university.
University Center: NSCC has dedicated space on
campus where students can meet one-on-one with
representatives from local colleges and universities.
Members include Bowling Green State University,
Bluffton University, e ance College, ourdes
University, Spring Arbor University and the University
of Toledo.
Miami University Engineering Partnership:
Engineering technology students can earn a bachelor’s
degree from Miami University without leaving NSCC’s
campus. Students take the rst three years of a bach-
elor’s degree through Northwest State at the commu-
nity college’s lower tuition rate. The nal year of the
program is then completed through Miami University
using synchronous distance learning technology.
NSCC’s collaborative efforts reach beyond edu-
cational institutions and out into the community
as well. After all, community is part of Northwest
State’s name and mission.
The College’s student groups positively impact
the community through numerous service proj-
ects each year, and the groups welcome public
participation. Whether the cause is raising money
and collecting toys for families in need during
the holidays or raising awareness about suicide
prevention, Northwest State’s students are active
and involved.
The campus is home to numerous community
events each year as well. Northwest State has part-
nered with local organizations to host art exhibits,
musical acts, theater performances and other
cultural activities. Each year, NSCC and a group of
local businesses, restaurants, churches and indi-
viduals collaborate to host “It’s a Fiesta.” The event
celebrates Hispanic culture and heritage.
When people work together, it is amazing what
can be accomplished. Whether it is helping stu-
dents reach their goals or assisting others through
a community service project, collaboration can
change lives. X

PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONANAL SSKILLSK SILLS IINSTITUTENST UITUTE
q uality healthcare is a complex enterprise
that requires the skills and collaboration
of all medical professionals. Medical per-
sonnel must work round the clock to meet with
concerned patients whose health simply cannot
wait. It truly takes a dedicated team to deliver
responsible and diligent care. The care of a patient
usually begins in a physician s of ce staffed by
medical assistants, and medical billing and coding
specialists who must work together to provide a
cohesive, organized and quality visit.
Professional Skills Institute offers two programs
that foster such collaboration and talent: Medi-
cal Assisting and the Medical Billing and Coding
Specialist. Students attending PSI take a Medical
Law and Ethics course, where the importance and
maintenance of patient con dentiality is taught as
a collaborative effort.
Patient privacy is a staple of the medical eld
and one that is integrated into all curriculums.
Once completed, students must pass an exam in
order to achieve a certi cate in the ealth Insur-
ance Portability and Accountability Act IPAA
before they go on to externship. IPAA protects
the privacy of individually identi able health
information. If quality healthcare is to begin, then
all members of a staff must adhere to the strict
and vital standards of privacy whether it is in a
physician s of ce, hospital or other medical facili-
ties. Once this is established, then the assessment
and treatment of a patient may begin.
Medical assistants and medical billing and cod-
ing specialists work together by performing a mul-
titude of duties. pon entering the of ce, patients
check in and a medical assistant performs vitals
and a short summary regarding the nature of the
visit in order to prepare the doctor. Once a diagno-
sis has been determined, then the medical billing
and coding specialist must code properly. Both
parties must rely on each other in the medical set-
ting to complete patient care and process the claim
correctly. Without both aspects, a patient cannot
receive proper care and may incur higher costs than
anticipated. If coded incorrectly and billed improp-
erly, it will cause frustration for patients, doctors’
of ces and insurance companies.
PSI works with an Advisory Committee comprised
of medical professionals from the community to
help ensure that PSI is meeting the needs of employ-
ers. Together they discuss curriculum changes that
are no longer applicable in the workplace. They
also collaborate on new courses such as Disease/
Pharmacology, the use of Electronic ealth ecords
E and the upcoming ICD- -CM.
PSI also works with the community by placing
students at externship sites. Near the completion of
their programs, students must complete a -hour
externship. PSI has clinical contracts with extern-
ship sites such as physician’s of ces, clinics, health
departments, urgent care centers and medical
equipment supply companies. The student is rotated
through the facility in clerical and clinical areas in
order to receive a variety of experiences. An evalua-
tion is completed by the clinical site at the end of the
externship. This is a great opportunity for students
to put their clinical and clerical skills to the test and
gain experience.
Excellent skills and teamwork are at the heart of
treating patients, whether it is someone who rarely
visits a doctor’s of ce or someone who is a frequent
visitor. Together, all staff must maintain a profes-
sional and respectful environment. A collaboration
of trust and communication is the perfect mix for
patients as they proceed through an ever-changing
healthcare system. PSI proudly works with its students
and the community to accomplish these goals. X

OWENS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
cCollaborating with area high schools to help students succeed
Upward Bound
The Owens TRiO/Upward Bound program is an
academic pre-college program that helps prepare
and moti ate low-income and/or potential rst-
generation high school students for post-secondary
education.
O er its e-year period Upward Bound will
enable Owens to provide educational outreach to
60 students from Rogers High School and Wood-
ward High School. Once admitted into the program
these students will engage in a variety of activities
and services during the academic school year and
during a six-week summer component. Students will
participate in college visits educational eld trips
and career exploration opportunities. Weekly tutor-
ing advising and scholarship assistance will also be
offered. n addition students can attend monthly
workshops that cover a variety of topics such as
nancial aid admissions and the registration pro-
cess for admission into college test-taking strate-
gies and other topics pertaining to academic and
personal success.
Counselor Updates
Another collaboration between Owens and area
high schools is ounselor Update a once-a-year
event held in the fall in Toledo and Findlay that
provides an opportunity for local guidance counsel-
ors to learn of important updates learn about new
programs and interact with Owens staff.
Ongoing OutreachOngoing communication helps Owens staff mem-
bers and high school counselors and administrators
build and maintain relationships and partnerships that help high school students succeed in higher
education. High school visits fairs and career days are year-round events that let area high school stu-
dents know Owens is here and working to help their transition to college be a smooth one.
“Building relationships with high school coun-selors and administrators is very important to us
Schmidbauer said. “By working together collaborat-ing we can create ama ing higher education oppor-
tunities for the area s high school students.For more information about dual enrollment
Upward Bound or anything else covered in this article please call - 00- O-OW S. X
ollaboration isn’t just a word in Owens Community College’s vision and core val-ues. It’s embedded into the culture of the college. Throughout departments schools clubs and organi ations even in classrooms it’s easy to spot collaboration at work.
Some of the college’s most active and longest-
standing collaborations may be those among area high schools and high school students. Throughout
the year Owens builds and maintains relation-
ships with area high schools via partnerships
such as dual enroll-ment which includes
post-secondary enroll-ment options program;
Upward Bound coun-selor updates visits
fairs and career days.“Our goal is to help
students succeed said eghan Schmidbauer
Owens Director of Admissions. “The collaborations
we have with area high schools allow us to assist
a variety of students from those who want a jump
start on their college education to those who need
a little more preparation for college.
Dual Enrollment/Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program
As part of the Complete College Ohio initiative
Owens is working to increase the number of students
graduating from high school
with college credit. Dual enroll-
ment partnerships like the one
Owens has with Penta Career
Center enable high school stu-
dents to earn transcripted col-
lege credit from Owens.
“Transcripted credits are
bene cial to students because
they reduce the students’ time
to degree completion which
can save them money
Schmidbauer said. ”
“Owens faculty and
staff are committed to strengthening the
community by providing a superior educational
experience through excellence, innovation
and collaboration.

classroom expectations, and a strong, faith-based
education allows students to be well-rounded and
ready for success in their career after graduation.
As Anna Blanchett, RN, BSN, and a recent Mercy
College graduate observed, “I felt incredibly
well prepared with both the knowledge and skills
re uired in my eld, and I also felt I received a good
ethical and moral base at Mercy College.”
An additional part of establishing a strong moral
base includes Mercy College students volunteer-
ing their time outside the classroom with local
non-pro t agencies. n an individual level, it could
be providing donations of a coat, a hygiene kit, or
school supplies. A class- or college-wide event may
involve organizing and working at Tent City, or the
phthalmic Technology students partnering with
Prevent Blindness to provide eye exams. Mercy Col-
lege views service as a collaborative effort with the
ince its inception, Mercy College has been a
strong community member working collab-
oratively with community members and organiza-
tions. From faculty, staff, and students volunteering
their time at local agencies to its partnership with
Mercy, the multi-faceted approach to collaboration
provides bene ts and opportunities for all involved.
As a member of the Mercy system, Mercy College
is able to offer prime clinical locations and times for
students at premier medical facilities in the area.
Through clinical rotations, students are exposed to
cutting-edge technology in real-world situations.

illis Sowle III is part of a youth move-
ment happening on the Siena Heights
University campus.
The junior Religious Studies major from Toledo,
Ohio, attended a Dominican preaching in action
conference in Chicago in May 2012. Soon after that
experience, he had a revelation.
“As I began to engage in campus ministry in the
fall, it seemed like there was a
missing piece in the faith com-
munity on campus,” said Sowle,
a Central Catholic High School
graduate. “I came to realize
that we are a Dominican
university, and a vast
majority of the students
and faculty haven’t really
embraced that idea. (This) led

m
SIENA HEIGHTS UNIVERSITY
RCIA program just two years prior to my freshman
year, I knew that I needed an environment that
would provide me opportunities to grow in
my faith. Little did I know, however, how big of
an impact the school would provide me. I have
embraced a myriad of opportunities from retreats,
to service, leadership, and a wonderful mother-
house to help my faith life grow and develop.”
He said an early challenge to the group is helping
to educate more students on not only what the
Dominican tradition is, but how it can apply to
them as a SHU student.
“Siena provides opportunities for each and every
student to grow and learn further about the tradi-
tion,” Sowle said.
He said scheduling some travel experiences
around the world and also networking with other
college and university DYA chapters are also on
his agenda.
“DYA has some big plans in its future,” Sowle said. X
me to the conclusion that we need a student orga-
nization that enlightens students to the truth found
in Dominican life.”
In October, Sowle helped form a chapter of the
Dominican Young Adults on the Siena Heights cam-
pus. The DYA has replaced Sojourn, the campus
ministry youth group that previously existed. He
said the learning about the Dominican tradition and
heritage has been a process.
“I began an action plan to
educate all of our members,
myself included, on Dominican
tradition and the opportuni-
ties we would be presented
with,” he said. “The transition
process consisted of four meet-
ings, each week discussing and
learning one of the four pillars
of the Dominican tradition: prayer, community,
study and preaching. These topics were taught to us
by (Adrian Dominican) Sisters and professors from
around campus.”
At the end of the meeting process, SHU President
Sister Peg Albert, OP, PhD, addressed the new group
and gave them her presidential “seal of approval.”
“I think it’s fantastic what Willis and these stu-
dents have done to highlight and preserve the
Dominican tradition on campus,” said President
Albert. “Students are part of the future safeguards
of that Dominican heritage at Siena Heights.”
Siena Heights University is a Catholic university
founded in 1919 and sponsored by the Adrian
Dominican Sisters. Some members of DYA are also
part of the Campus Ministry Scholars program,
however, it is open to all students on campus.
“Faith is a crucial piece to my experience at SHU,”
said Sowle. “As a ‘new’ Catholic who completed the
Students are part ofthe future safeguards
of that Dominicanheritage at
Siena Heights.

format truly is a collaborative effort involving virtually all music
faculty, students, alumni and members of the community,” he said.
Heidelberg and the Ritz Players also recently partnered to pro-
duce the monster musical “Young Frankenstein,” two years after a
highly successful run with the Broadway musical “Hairspray.”
“This bringing together of community and university talent gave
us a multi-generational cast, and played to great success,” Owen
said. Chris Tucci, professor and director of theatre who directed
the Mel Brooks classic, concurred. Performing on the Ritz stage is
a bonus for Heidelberg students, Tucci said.“The best part is they get to play roles appropriate for their age
range and work with adults who typically have more theatre experience,” he said. “Working alongside these folks pushes our students and shows them realistic expectations in professional theatre.”
For those who simply share a love of music and want to learn, Heidelberg opens its doors to would- be musicians of all ages and talent levels. The Community Music School, under the direction of Cynthia Ramsdell, offers private music lessons for youth to adults on most band and orchestral instru-ments as well as voice and theory and composition. This fall, the school expanded its reach into the community by offering group and online courses.
“We offer classes in ve-week sessions as an introduction to various music experiences,” Ramsdell said. Sessions are open to the community and are available for people of all ability levels. The school has grown from a handful of students to more than 100.
Group classes were taught in guitar for teens and adults, piano for adults as well as online classes for teens and adults in music technology and auditioning/performing. Instructors are Heidelberg faculty, alumni and current or graduate students.
“Plans are in place to continue the expansion of the Community Music School, especially in providing musical opportunities to older adults, as well as area high school students,” Owen said.
One ensemble – the University-Community Chorus – combines the talents of Heidelberg music students with community singers for a pair of concerts each year. The 60- to 80-voice mixed chorus, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Clark, rehearses once each week in preparation for its performances, which also include the annual Christmas concert.
In addition to bringing audiences to campus, Heidelberg ensembles have performed throughout the
community at venues and events such as the azzin Tif n Festival and a downtown coffee house. Smaller ensembles sing and play at nursing homes and larger groups travel to high schools to showcase the
School of Music.Regardless of the size or scale of the ensemble or the venue, Heidelberg’s School of Music is engaged
in collaborations with the community in new and exciting ways. X

Now, thanks to a generous gift from the
Diocese, Lourdes is establishing a new program
known as the “Endowed Chair in Education:
Catholic Principals’ Academy” that will prepare
educators to serve as principals in area Catho-
lic schools. The program will also support the
Diocese in its mission to sustain Catholic school
education through leadership development and
will focus on the administrative, instructional, and
spiritual dimensions of a Catholic school leader.
Last spring, Lourdes launched the Principals’
Academy, a component of its Educational Lead-
ership concentration in the Master of Education
program. Through the Principals’ Academy, edu-
cators can earn their Master of Education degree
as well as achieve their Ohio Department of Edu-

only enrolls students through direct sponsorship
with partner schools.
“We’re excited to partner with Lourdes on this
important venture for the formation of Catholic

will have high quality Catholic leaders for years
to come,” shares Christopher Knight, Catholic
