COLLEGE UPDATE Driving Change & Growth
COLLEGE CALENDAR
Industry forces are driving colleges and universities to operate more effectively and efficiently in support of students through programs that are flexible, integrated, efficient, and affordable. The Department of Higher Education recently published a 2017 report on principles guiding collegiate stakeholders to envision and expand the impact of higher education. Namely, promoting academic success through guiding students toward education that enables them to achieve their goals, is suitable to their needs, and aligns with their interests. Additionally, these concepts center around preparing students for post-secondary work, and are designed to be flexible, supportive environments building meaningful pathways to program completion and successful transition to employment.
2017
• Blended Learning Designs: This trend has shifted to understanding how applications of digital modes of teaching are impacting students.
February No Events
According to the New Media Consortium’s (NMC) and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative’s (ELI) 2017 Higher Education Edition of the annual Horizon Report, technology is a primary driver of healthcare and higher educations’ pursuit in increasing levels of quality outcomes. Key trends that are serving as accelerators include:
• Collaborative Learning: Cloud-based services, apps, and other digital tools promote persistent connectivity, enabling students and educators to access and contribute to shared workspaces anytime.
• Growing Focus on Measuring Learning: As societal and economic factors redefine what skills are necessary in today’s workforce, colleges and universities must rethink how to define, measure, and demonstrate subject mastery and soft skills, such as creativity and collaboration. • Redesigning Learning Spaces: Educational settings are increasingly designed to support project-based interactions with attention to greater mobility, flexibility and multiple device usage.
• Advancing Cultures of Innovation: The focus of this trend has shifted from understanding the value of fostering the exploration of new ideas to finding ways to replicate it across a span of diverse learning institutions. • Deeper Learning Approaches: To remain motivated, students need to be able to make clear connections between their coursework and the real world, and how the new knowledge and skills will impact them.

WHOOT NEW! CRAYONS FOR COMPUTERS
Whoot and several other Tri-state mascots visited Trader Joe’s in August to celebrate Wart’s (Trader Joe’s mascot) birthday and Crayons to Computers. As part of the celebration, shoppers wrote cards of Good Wishes for Cincinnati area students who are receiving backpacks of school supplies through the Crayons to Computers program.
WHOOT AT THE ZOO In July, the College Board of Trustees held a retreat in the Tree Tops Conference Center at the Cincinnati Zoo. It was a full day of updates related to active progress made on strategic college initiatives. Meanwhile, Whoot entertained kids at the zoo. At the end of the retreat, the Board of Trustees recieved a surprise visit from Whoot and two zoo animals. Whoot got to meet Caspian, the Eagle Owl!
GSC students volunteered for the Flying Pig Marathon as part of a community service project on behalf of the Omicron Omicron Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society. The students were assigned to the children’s races and distributed pink gift bags to runners at the finish line.
NUR201 visited Killgour Elementary and Bond Hill Academy. They created teaching activities based on the specific school’s needs and taught 20 classes (grades K-6) utilizing the tools they created. Activities included a PowerPoint and an interactive game.

As part of our commitment to service, the college can occasionally offer interest free loans to help students pay their tuition bills on time. Here is a recent response from a Nursing III student: I greatly appreciate the opportunity to utilize this interest free loan. I am loving my Nursing III course. Additionally, I am so grateful to have the opportunity to serve others in the future and promise to pay these funds upon graduation in a timely manner, if not before then. -Dallas Mulvaney

FUTURE RENOVATIONS Student Centered Design Starting this fall, the college will undergo a complete, interior re-design. It’s more than just a fresh coat of paint. The design of the new campus layout will be completely student focused. It all starts with a welcoming entrance! (above). Additional campus upgrades will include: • • • • •
New One Stop Area Centrally Located Faculty/Admin Offices Dedicated Simulation Center New Student Success Center New Student Lounges
• • • • •
Improved Student Accessibility Skills Lab Expansion Technology Upgrades Classroom Enhancements Expanded Entrance
Why Student Centered Design? Today’s students require new learning environments, dynamics and strategies. Student learning begins the moment a student steps inside the school. “Physical student learning environments affect students’ behavior, sense of well-being and their academic success”(Johnson & Maki, 2009).

No Easy Path to Success Take one minute to talk to Vikki Kimbrough and you will instantly know she is passionate about Good Samaritan College and becoming a nurse. From her first day of class where she was a nervous wreck, to her scholarship awards that help her with the cost of tuition, she feels blessed to be part of a wonderful legacy. Vikki, like many students at Good Sam, has not had the easiest path in pursing her education; that has not stopped her in fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. She has overcome many obstacles: domestic violence, surviving breast cancer, where her diagnosis was at the young age of 37, and being a non-traditional student. While a patient, she experienced people who cared for and helped her. “I promised to God I would fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse no matter what age so that I am able to give back and help others,” Vikki explained. Vikki is fulfilling that promise. She is a Nursing 3 student who will be graduating in May 2018. When asked about her experience at Good Sam she felt that she has been very lucky to have small class sizes, outstanding professors, and scholarships to help ease her financial burdens. Her biggest support at the College has been Dr. Singh who she truly admires. “He is dedicated, unselfish, and 20 years later, you’re still his student.” She says that when things get tough, as they often do in nursing, she will turn to him and he gives her encouraging words, “You got this, if it was easy anyone could do it.” The inspiration from her professors as well as the financial support she receives helps her every day. The financial assistance allows her to work fewer hours, so she can focus on her classwork. When she received her first scholarship, her thoughts were, “I’m so thankful that someone took a chance on me. Someone who had read my letters of recommendation and believed that I would become an excellent nurse.” Once she graduates in May she is excited to begin her career and start giving back to help a current nursing student. When asked why she wants to give back, she believes in the GSC President’s view of service and she truly believes in the Audrey Hepburn quote, “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” If you are interested in establishing a scholarship or would like more information please contact Nancy Herzog at Nancy_Herzog@trihealth.com or call 513-862-3374 Fall 2017

WORTH NOTING New Programs & Resources GSC Offering Two Medical Assistant Programs GSC is again expanding its offerings to the Tri-state community. This Fall, the college is offering a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant preparatory course for non-certified TriHealth Medical Assistant employees with at least 2 years of experience. By completing the 6-week, evening-class program, students will be eligible to sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam. Dozens of TriHealth MAs have already expressed an interested in taking the class which will be offered twice during the Fall. The 12-month program includes a 200-hour practicum. The curriculum will be a combination of classroom clinical, lab and medical office training (delivered in lecture, laboratory, and simulation formats). Upon successful completion of the program, students will be eligible to sit for the RMA exam to become a Registered Medical Assistant.
GSC Phlebotomy Students Learned the “Stick” in Summer Classes Seven GSC students took part in a Trihealth Phlebotomy Program at the college this summer. Upon completion of the program, they went to work in Phlebotomist positions in the Trihealth system while completing their nursing degrees at the college. Not only can these students improve their venipuncture and micro-collection skills,but it’s the perfect opportunity to gain extensive patient contact and exposure to the hospital environment. The phlebotomy program was a natural synergy between TriHealth and GSC. TriHealth had an immediate need for phlebotomists and GSC students were easily trainable since they were prepared academically, and comfortable serving a diverse patient population. The interest from the students was overwhelming, and the feedback from TriHealth laboratory staff has been very positive. GSC expects this program to continu in the near future.
GSC Takes Off with new Orientation Format Students entering the college experienced a new type of orientation this summer when “GSC Takeoff” was held in the beginning of August. The new format moved students through stations where they learned about topics ranging from Compliance and Parking to Clubs and the Facilities Renovation. Each student was offered a Blessing of the Hands and a photo op with Whoot. Returning students also were briefed on changes in the college during three lunch presentations during the first week of classes.
Need a Little Help? Find it Through the New GSC Student Assistance Program Through a partnership with TriHealth, GSC students and their dependents now can take advantage of free confidential services such as 24/7 counseling, financial education, attorney consultations, and identity recovery support. Through this program, the college also will be holding Lunch & Learns on topics important to students. The program is offered through the TriHealth Employee Assistance Program. 15

ALUMNI ADVISORY BOARD Greetings Fellow Alumni,
I hope your summer was filled with fun, family, and much-needed relaxation.
The Executive Committee met frequently this summer to identify and realign the Alumni Association to meet the needs of the College and of Alumni as we look to the future. We identified a need for more information sharing among College stakeholders. Therefore, we invited a newly-formed, diverse group of key members, now called the Alumni Advisory Board, for advice and feedback. Our goal was to appraise the effectiveness of the Alumni Association’s activities and outreach methods, and to form a plan to meet future needs. From our meetings, two themes emerged: first, the need to develop strategies for alumni engagement, and
second, the need to provide opportunities for student and alumni interaction. To support these needs, the Board reviewed and approved a new set of bylaws. There were three major changes adapted in the revised bylaws:
• The Alumni Association was renamed The Alumni Advisory Board to reflect its role as an advisory body. • Composition of the Board was expanded to include students, faculty, and the Good Samaritan Foundation. • The Executive Committee continues as the working arm of the Board. These changes in structure will carry on and strengthen the Board’s overarching goal to engage all of us--Alumni, students and the College--in meaningful and dynamic ways.
