Special Thanks to Dr. Weisenborn

A quick note of appreciation to Dr. Greg Weisenborn. In August, 2009 Dr. Weisenborn became the Interim Chair of the Management & Marketing Department at FHSU. Dr. Weisenborn has been an advocate for Business/Marketing Education and recently took the weekend to help as a judge at the Kansas DECA Career Development Conference. We appreciate Dr. Weisenborn's interest and support in our program!! Thank you, GW!

FHSU and ESU Alumni Win Door Prize!

Dr. Jim Gleason of MBA Research (aka--Mark-Ed) provided two, $100 gift certificates for classroom resources as a door prize for the DECA Career Development Conference.

Shaina Prough (Hays High School and a FHSU Alum) and Dustin Meyer (Lansing High School and a ESU Alum) are the winners!

We will probably be checking back to see what they purchased!

Special Thanks for Jim Gleason and MBA Research!

DECA - Recruiting Table

Special Thanks to COBL students (Jessica Tormey, Tyler Thompson, Robyn Sellard, and Byron Hummon) for handling recruiting activities earlier this week at the Kansas DECA Career Development Conference.

I had several advisers comment on what nice students we have at FHSU.

Outstanding job!!

NCATE Reminder

Just a reminder that the College of Education and Technology will be under "review" for their annual accreditation visit next week.

It is always nice to have students put their best foot forward during the on-site review. Having said that, I must follow-up by saying, "Be Honest!" If we are doing things well, let it be known. If there is something we can improve on, that needs to be identified as well.

Have a great week!

New Feature to the Blog

Upon some reflection, I've decided to add a "new" feature. One of the things I wanted to highlight with the blog was Student-Teachers. When I first post a student-teacher, it works GREAT, but then as more thoughts and news get added, student teacher info gets pushed down.

NOW, I have solution! (Notice above Victor E. Tiger, we have a Navigation section.) Student-teachers, as well as Alumni, now have their own section!

I'd like to hear from Alumni, send me a picture, and a take a few minutes to fill out the form (located on the Alumni page) to fill us in on what you are doing. Your update will be added to the blog!

Can't wait to hear from you!
