key points of interest this academic year with many more to come! ❖ The College graduated 252 students in 2018 and will

graduate the fi rst traditional BSN students in May 2019. The Health Care Administration program is in its 2nd year and has 40 students enrolled.

❖ We have been approved for an additional facility to accom-modate the growth of our student enrollment. Since 2012, our student enrollment has increased from 340 to over 900 students in 2018, served by 80 faculty and staff members.

❖ The Board of Directors have approved moving forward with the development of an Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assisting program.

❖ TCC stays focused on our vision and mission of being an innovative institution that adapts to the needs of our dy-namic society. As higher education and health care rapidly change, we at TCC strive to make transformational differ-ence in the well-being of others. Our work ahead will be to lead in these areas and strive to be the destination for higher education in health care.

News From The Place You Call HomeWe all know quality matters…But What is Quality Matters (QM)

Quality Matters (QM) is an international organiza-tion that is recognized as a leader in quality assur-ance for online education.QM Quality Matters Certifi cation

for online classes!

Eight courses have earned Quality Matters certi-fi cation. A course earns QM designation through rigorous peer review, which ensures quality course design and professional development for the fac-ulty.

In 2017, under the expert leadership of Tammy Waldron, Instructional Designer, we initiated our QM Implementa-tion Plan, becoming a Quality Matters recognized school. Today, we have a lot of successes to share with our alumni. The following courses have successfully met QM Stan-dards:

❖ 2017, HUM 280, People and Their Food, Tammy Waldron, M.Ed

❖ 2018, COM 110, Introduction to Interpersonal Communication, Dr. Meghan Hollowell

❖ 2018, NUR 435, Dr. Nancy Trokan-Mathi-son

❖ 2018, PSY 110, Lifespan Development, Dr. Rob Kallmeyer

❖ 2018, NUR 350, Nursing Theories and Founda-tional Concepts, Dr. Nancy Trokan-Mathison

❖ 2018, NUR 335, Introduction to Research and Evidence-Based Practice, Dr. Nancy Trokan-Mathison

4 Winter 2019

❖ 2018, STAT 201, Introduction to Statistics, Dr. Melanie Raby

❖ 2019, ENG 101, English Composition, Alyssa Ryan, MA

❖ 3 more courses are pending review spring of 2019

The QM offi cial review process consists of

three outside certi-fi ed reviewers. They review the course using the QM Rubric, which

consists of 8 gen-eral standards with

a total of 43 specifi c review standards. Although

the process is rigorous, it has been both educa-tional and impactful. Additionally, this

process has also informed iterative improvements to our College

Blackboard template, improv-ing all courses offered at the College.

Quality Matters adds tre-mendous value to our Col-lege, to the faculty and to our

students learning experiences. Visit our Quality Matters page

on the College website, to read about our faculty’s experiences and

growth through the process. For more information regarding Quality Matters please visit www.qualitymatters.org. ◆

“Preparing my PSY 110: Lifespan

Development course for a Quality Matters review was the kind of deep work that helps me grow as a

professor.” ROB KALLMEYER, PH.D

“The course now provides more equitable

opportunities for success–providing each student with the ability to access course content

regardless of learning styles, pref-erences, abilities etc. I feel proud

of every change that I made to the course as a result of the re-view.”

MEGHAN HOLLOWELL, ED.D COM 110

Dr. Rob Kallmeyer, Associate Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, will be presenting his research titled “Do Undergraduates Students Seek to Improve PER-MA in their Courses?” at the International Positive Psychology Association Conference in Melbourne, Australia in July, 2019. This conference draws to-gether thousands of Positive Psychology researchers around the globe to present their scientifi c research fi ndings. The aim is to help educators, medical and health care professionals, and other practitioners use the principles of Positive Psychology to improve well-being. Research Summary: The traditional undergraduate education provides students the knowledge and skills to earn a degree toward a career, with a foundation in the Arts and Sciences. “To get a better job” is a com-mon reason students give for why they attend college (Rampell, 2015). We know college is considered a career path, but less is known about how students use their college education to achieve other important

parts of life. We know that concepts such as mental health (Au-erbach et al., 2016) and meaning in life (Trevisan, 2017) are important to college students; what we don’t know is whether students expect their college courses to help them improve these and other areas of wellbeing. This study uses the PERMA framework of wellbeing (Seligman, 2011) to answer this question. The 5 factors of PERMA are Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishments. This research determines the extent that students want their college courses to help them improve wellbeing overall and help them improve their experience of each construct in PERMA specifi -cally. ◆

Student Focus

Did you Know ? …Recent research across college campuses reveals that many students go hungry. Sometimes it’s epi-sodic…sometimes it’s more often than not. Take a look at some of the statistics.❖ 11.2 % of students at 4-year colleges and 13.5% at vocational schools faced food insecurity in 2015

(Urban Institute)❖ In an October 2016 report, HUNGER on Campus, 3800 students surveyed from 34 community and

4-year colleges across 12 states revealed that 22% faced food insecurity and 13% reported being homeless.

❖ Researchers at Temple University and the Wisconsin HOPE Lab surveyed 43,000 students from 66 schools, encompassing 2-year and 4-year public and private institutions. They found 36% of those sur-veyed do not get enough to eat. One in 10 community college students have gone a whole day without eating

One student shared, “Today I am kind of hesitant to buy food because I have less than $100 and I need to do laundry. Do I want to do laundry or do I want to eat today? That is the kind of question I’m dealing with.”

The hard reality is that hunger or food insecurity impacts students’ education. Many report not buying re-quired textbooks, missing class, or even dropping a class as effects of experiencing food insecurity, despite over half of them reporting they have a paying job and a third working 20 hours or more per week.

SO, HOW DOES THE CHRIST COLLEGE COMPARE?

TCCNHS students are not immune. Here are some of our statistics:❖ 38.9 % of TCCNHS students receive Pell Grants

❖ 70.4% of TCCNHS students work greater than 15 hours per week❖ The average loan debt for a freshman student is $7,100 with the

average debt for a Senior $34,608The college has a food pantry for students to access without question.

One student shared this, “I just want to thank TCCNHS for the food pantry resource. I utilized it in my time of hunger and found relief. It’s diffi cult to make ends meet sometimes (esp. days before payday!) When days are better, and I have food to offer, I will donate back to TCCNHS's great bounty!"

Please consider a monetary donation to The Christ College in support of a food assistance fund. Don’t allow food concerns to be a barrier to student success. ◆

FALL Semester Highlights❖ To kick off the semester, students enjoyed Welcome Week, a week full of activities and good food to

jumpstart the new school year! Activities included a Resource Fair, TCCNHS Spirit Day and FC Cincinnati Game! There were tons of fun and engagement opportunities for students, faculty and staff and even a t-shirt giveaway!

❖ In July, we welcomed our new president, Dr. Gail Kist-Kline, who is always eager and excited to hear from our students. Because of this, Coff ee and Conversation was created! During this hour-long event, students were able to ask Dr. Kist-Kline questions about the direction of the College and even some fun questions, such as Skyline Chili or Goldstar Chili?

❖ During Midterm exams, stress is high around campus for obvious reasons. To help students relax, DeStress

Fest was created! During the all-day event, students enjoyed free stress balls, shared their favorite quotes, sculpted Play-Doh portraits and had the chance to pet therapy dogs. Students enjoyed their study break and the chance to be a kid again!

❖ We are so grateful and appreciative that the students of TCCNHS chose us to pursue their education endeav-ors! Because of this, the Departments of Student Success and Diversity and Inclusion hosted a TCCNHSgiv-ing Dinner to show our gratitude to both the students and faculty and staff. President Kist-Kline shared a few words of appreciation with students before serving meals, along with Deans Bradley Jackson, Meghan Hollowell and Carolyn Hunter. Students enjoyed having a hearty meal and fellowshipping with their class-mates.

From the Traditional BSN program

The BSN Program is excited to have our fi rst graduating class of seniors who will proudly graduate on May 4, 2019 at the Cintas Center at 10:00am! Their senior year consists of 4 8-week clinical intensive courses in the fall and spring semesters where they complete 24 hours of clinical each week in either 8-hour or 12-hour shifts. The clinical intensive provides students with the consistency in the clinical area to make clinical judgments on patients that they’ve taken care of for several days and provide unmatched experience that will improve their transition to practice. This is the fi rst time our college has offered clinical intensives and so far, it’s been a great experience for students, the instructors and patients!Congratulations are in order for Wesley Osler, senior BSN student and President of the National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA)! Wesley was recently awarded a $3000 Presidential scholarship for his leadership in NSNA. The letter included a note that said, “Wesley has represented your nursing program and the National Student Nurses’ Association very well and we are very proud of him.” ◆

2018 Alumni Reunion Luncheon

Over 75 alum enjoyed a fabulous Reunion Luncheon overlooking the scenic Ohio river and downtown Cincinnati from the 6th fl oor rooftop event center at The Christ Hospital Joint & Spine Center. Coming home they shared many time-honored memories. Newly appointed President Gail Kist-Kline welcomed alum calling out specifi cally three graduates from the Class of 1947, Ruth Gibson, Helen Hanselman, and Nancy Younger celebrating 71 years. Associate Dean, Nursing and TCHSN alum Connie McFadden Chase (1994) spoke to changes in nursing and highlighted the College’s BSN program. Carolyn Hunter, Dean of Operations and a 1974 alum led off a story telling hour with her reminiscence of sliding down a mattress-lined stairwell in the nurses’ dorm.

The class of 1968, celebrating 50 years had this to

share:

We started the weekend at Harmony Hills Winery enjoying each other and the wine and just catching up! Saturday began with the Annual Alumni Luncheon! It was a wonderful time—reminiscent of Luncheons of past years with the focus being the Nursing Programs! We met that evening at the home of Karen and Jim Bellman, complete with Montgomery Inn, Graeter’s ice cream, and CHSN cookies! It was a wonderful evening sharing stories, memories, and pictures. We had classmates from California (Bev Rummel), Arizona (Linda Forney), Virginia (Mary Ellen Ingram) Georgia (Sue Shipley), Alabama (Sharon Winklejohn) with the rest of us from the Cincinnati area!! As a fi nal tribute, we made a donation to the Mary Alice Calme Memorial Fund, a 1977 TCHSN graduate and recent college faculty member. This is a last dollar fund to help support students in fi nancial need at the end of their program. The donation was made in honor of our class and in memory of fellow classmates Clydette Mullins, Karen Stephenson, and Sue Hust. ◆

Alumni Spotlight

Jill Beasley embod-ies our core values of caring, collabora-tion, integrity, and excellence in a myriad of ways. As a student Jill Beasley (2010) was very involved in the Student Nurse As-sociation of Christ College (SNACC) serving on the Ohio Student Nurses Association (OSNA) board of directors; and, as Vice-President on the National Student Nurse Asso-ciation (NSNA). She continued that work after graduation and served on the Ohio Nurses Association (ONA) board of directors from 2013-2015 as secretary. Jill also served on the Health Policy Com-mittee of the ONA, traveling to DC several times to lobby for legisla-tion that best serves patients and advocating for the nursing profes-sion. Jill’s experiences truly epito-mize the college’s values of integ-rity and excellence in work toward advancing the state of patient care and the profession of nursing.

Following in line with our mission, Jill took life-long learning to heart and completed her BSN at Ohio University and her master’s degree in nursing administration at UC. In 2013 she was honored as the Ohio March of Dimes

Med-Surg Nurse of the Year. Jill is currently employed as a supervisor at Select Specialty Hospital Cincin-nati North.

None of these accomplishments would have been possible had Jill not begun her nursing career at The Christ College. In her own words, Jill shares how the College’s values of caring and collaboration were bestowed on her.

“I wanted to say that the Christ College family supported me even after I graduated. I was diagnosed with stage 3C rectal cancer 3 weeks before gradua-tion from Christ. I was devas-tated because I had worked so

hard to be a nurse. At the time I was a single parent of 5. Several professors and Dr. Nathan Long stayed in touch with me during my cancer treatment, attending a benefi t that friends held for me. Christmas of the following year Dr. Long delivered a signifi cant amount of money that staff had collected for me to help me pay bills and provide a Christmas for my children. This shows the caliber of the staff at the college and the way in which they think of and support their students. I am forever grateful for my time there. The emotional support provided to me from the staff at the college during my treatment was priceless.”

Jill continues to give back and serve the college through engag-ing in various college events. She served on our alumni panel for the college’s Live Surgery event speak-ing to high school students aspiring to be nurses about nursing advo-cacy and leadership. ◆

Living Our Core Values

As we honor our U.S. veterans who have selfl essly served our country, we would also like to highlight three Christ graduates who have routinely accompa-nied WW II, Korean War, and Vietnam War vets on Honor Flights to Washington, DC. On these special fl ights, veterans get to see the sights and memorials all around the DC area. Alumni, Carole Stoelting Quackenbush ’87, Terry M. Foster ’81, & Karen Unger ’80 (pictured left to right) have done these fl ights for years; and on the fl ights they don’t take, they are usually at the airport to greet these men and women as they arrive back that night.

We take great pride in the service and compassion our nurse alumni give to our veterans, our communities, and to the world here and abroad. As we remember and thank our veterans, we also thank our alumni for their part in giving back. They exemplify our core values of caring, collaboration, integrity and excel-lence. ◆

Alumni take Veterans on Honor Flights

The Living HeartInsights from the Archives

Students lining the dorm staircase with mattresses

and sliding all the way to the bottom. Climbing into

the cupola on Class Day to put the class colors at the

highest point of the hospital grounds. Sneaking into

the residents’ quarters aft er lights out. Accidentally

insulting a Cincinnati baseball icon in the hospital for

a hurt hand. Th ese are just snippets of stories that were

shared at the reunion luncheon on September 22, 2018.

Th ey made all in attendance laugh and reminisce about

their days as a student here at Christ. Th e problem is,

once we’re all gone, what happens to those stories?

Th ey disappear unless you fi nd a way to save them.

When I became the archivist for Th e Christ Hospital

Health Network in 2015, one of my priorities was set-

ting up an oral history program. With the help of Dr.

William Camm, we now have ten fi lmed interviews

with various physicians and administrators who helped

Th e Christ Hospital become what it is today. (If you’d

like to learn more/view them, email me so I can send

you the links to the digital videos!) Th e interviews off er

great insight into our history, but there is one obvious

hole in our narrative: the story of our nurses and the

story of our school.

I’ve been aware of this hole for quite some time and

have hemmed and hawed at how to fi ll it. Most alumni

I speak to are no longer in the Cincinnati area. Even

considering local alumna, there are so many more pos-

sible nurses to interview than physicians – how do you

choose whose story to record when the cost of fi lming

is so high? I don’t want money to dictate whose story

is saved and whose isn’t. Th at is why I bought a digital

audio recorder and some microphones.

In December, I sat down with Judi Schofi eld, Director

of Nursing Quality, Safety, Innovation and Excellence

at Th e Christ Hospital. Judi was the longest-serving

manager of the CVSU at over thirteen years. While not

a CHSN grad, she gave us wonderful insight into being

a nurse at Th e Christ Hospital and how it has changed

over time. Next up on my list for audio-only oral his-

tories is Carolyn Hunter, a CHSN 1974 graduate and

current Dean of Operations for Th e Christ College of

Nursing and Health Sciences.

If any alumni are local to Cincinnati or are coming

to town, I’d love for you to stop by to participate in

our oral history series! You are a crucial element to

preserving our past for the generations to come. Even

if you aren’t interested in doing an interview, please

reach out to chat. It would be wonderful to hear what

you have to say and update your contact information

for our fi les!

Do you have items from your time as a student that you’d like preserved for future students

and staff to enjoy?

Th e archives is currently collecting materials that document student life. Types of materials

we collect include photographs, scrapbooks, event programs, newspaper articles, old uni-

forms/capes, and more! Contact Jennifer Steinhardt for more information at 513-585-0046 or
