Entrepreneurship Scholarship Opportunity

When 95% of all employers believe that the workforce needs to be more entrepreneurial, it becomes clear that the U.S. is facing a problem; students are finishing school without the skills to perform successfully in the workplace.

The NFIB Entrepreneurship Educator Award recognizes and rewards educators who are meeting this need. The winner will receive $1,000.00  to be used for educational resources or trainings.

If you incorporate entrepreneurship in your teaching, apply for the NFIB Entrepreneurship Educator Award by submitting a 2 minute video describing your best practices and outcomes in entrepreneurial education. Applications are due March 31, 2014.

Waiver Information from Licensure at FHSU

This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting a Waiver Application is October 1.  Please relay this information to any advisees you have that this may effect.  The Waiver's purpose is to allow a candidate to apply for a one semester only temporary waiver of teacher education admission requirements in order to be allowed to take restricted classes. (For example, haven't passed one part of the PPST, low GPA or haven't take a prerequisite class)  It does not admit them to the program and it is not automatically approved - a COPTSP committee will review all waivers.  If the candidate has not met all admission requirements and has not submitted a waiver, they will not be able to enroll in upper level restricted classes.  

Attached is the Waiver Form and it is also available at http://www.fhsu.edu/cert/form/
