No Impact Week encourages students to be more environmentally aware By Seth Weber City Editor

Senior Josh Chamberland is glad he’s been able to organize No Impact Week, an event that encourages sustainability. Chamberland worked with Director of Sustainability Nick Hennessey to participate in No Impact Week, which will start today and last until Sunday and will include events such as a trip to the wind turbines in Wood County and a talk about algal bloom by a University professor. Campus Sustainability has seen support for the event among many University organizations, including USG, GSS, UAO and EAG, Chamberland said. “To get all those groups together in one group activity is rare in any office,” Hennessey said. No Impact Week was created by the No Impact Project. Universities can buy a $250 planning kit which includes a license to use the No Impact Experiment name, a planning guide, event ideas and flyer templates. The No Impact Project was started by Colin Beavan, the author of “No Impact Man,” the common reading three years ago. Hennessey said he was inspired to do an event of this nature by the book.

“The common reading kind of started a new culture at BGSU in sustainability,” Chamberland said. “It started an awareness and since then it’s been snowballing.” Hennessey said he’s glad the University recognizes Earth Week, but he thinks No Impact Week fills a different role. “It’s sort of like an Earth Week but not the same,” he said. “It kind of has a little more focus on ways that you can have a serious impact on your carbon footprint.” He said it’s important to have such an event in the fall rather than the spring because it creates good habits earlier with “a whole bunch of the year left.” The goal of No Impact Week is for participants to experience what it’s like to live with less impact on the environment, Chamberland said. Students can register for No Impact Week by going to the Campus Sustainability web page. When registering, Hennessey said students can choose what events or aspects they want to participate in. “A lot of it is a personal journey,” he said. Monday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Union Theater, the documentary “Plastic Paradise” will be shown, which explores the Great Pacific garbage patch and what happens to plastic when it is thrown away.

Firelands, University create new program

PROJECT CONNECT

Firelands Pathway offers students second chance to join main campus

By Corey Maxwell Reporter

The University has rolled out a new program this semester for students who didn’t meet the qualifications to attend the main campus. The program is called Firelands Pathway and it allows students to attend the University while earning their credits through Firelands. “All the main campuses in Ohio always have a problem with students where the academic preparation picture doesn’t necessarily make sense,” said Joseph Frizado, vice provost for academic operations and assessments. “However, there is evidence in these students to show good potential, so we wanted to create a situation where those students could start a college career and enhance their chance to

be successful.” Students who qualify for the Pathways program might have a good high school grade point average but not a good ACT/SAT score or vice-versa. “First and foremost, they had to have a record sufficient to get admitted to the branch campus, but their record wasn’t as coherent or as strong as what we’d like to see at the main campus,” Frizado said about the qualifications of the program. The program currently has 20 students enrolled this semester, and there are five classes offered to them without any ability to take any additional classes. While the students are living on campus, the classes they are taking are through Firelands with Firelands instructors who drive

from Huron to Bowling Green every week. “They’re locked into their schedule and we provide 30 credit hours over both semesters that work for any major,” Frizado said. “It helps build community that they’re in the same classes, so we try and stack the deck so our students can be successful.” Frizado said it’s important to avoid asking any student to start their college career and not achieve a college degree. “We wanted to provide them with an opportunity for them to be successful,” Frizado said. If the students complete a sufficient number of hours successfully then they would be able to stay on campus and take classes through

PREVIEW DAY allowed future students tour the campus and departments.

CAMPUS BRIEF

Potential students come for Preview Day The University held a Fall Preview Day on Saturday Oct. 18 for potential undergraduates to explore the University’s programs and opportunities. Fall Preview Day opened a look into university campus life for the potential Falcons. Close to 2,000 students, families and guests were expected to visit the University on Saturday. The University showed a preview in campus life providing tours, informational sessions and special activities. Over 100 academic programs and student services displayed all majors and opportunities in

the Lenhart Grand Ballroom and Multipurpose room to try to recruit potential future Falcons. Department tours were offered throughout the University in 18 different colleges, learning commons and centers. Informational sessions were held for students to provide all information about the factors of the University. Sessions over scholarships, major decisions, transfer students, financial aid and undergraduate research were offered to prepare students for their academic or non-academic career. The University gave hour-long campus tours of the University’s campus academic facilities and services. Fall Preview Day gave potential future Falcons a chance to have a look into life and a future with the help of the university.

With bigger spaces but a farther location from central campus, Disability Services was moved from South Hall to College Park Office Building during winter break of 2013. Disability Services Specialist Stacy Patnode said the space is much more welcoming. “It’s nice and quiet,” she said. “There is much more space here.” Lea Anne Kessler, assistant director, said she has heard a lot of positive feedback about the new location. “We have lockers now where students can put their things and coats,” she said. “A lot of students like having that.”

FIRELANDS From Page 1 the main campus next year, Frizado said. Even though it’s still early, Frizado has high hopes for the program. “We’re at the point where we’re starting to receive progress reports and I’ve heard more positives in terms of attitude and approach,” Frizado said. “We’re very hopeful that as the semester progresses there won’t be any problems.” Michelle Simmons, assistant vice president for enrollment management, pointed to having the students on campus as an important factor for them. “One of the reasons why we are having these students live on campus is because we know they get additional support,” Simmons said. “They have access to the student rec center, the library

Disability Services serve students with both mental and physical disabilities, ranging from issues such as mobility impairment to autism to “hidden disabilities” like attention deficit disorder. They help students who need extra time on exams, need tests read out loud, need an alternate format of a test and help with housing accommodations. Kessler said one bigger change was the extra exam rooms they have for students who need to take tests at the center. They went from four small and one medium room in South Hall to seven small and one large room at the new location. Besides the need for more

and the Learning Commons because they are BGSU students.” Frizado has hopes to keep the program going next year, depending on the results. “We will look at the success of the students, how we selected the students and try to improve the selection process,” Frizado said. “But as of right now, yes, our plans are to continue and to expand.” The main goal of the Firelands Pathways Program is to give the students a chance for success, Simmons said. “I think we’re trying to give students an opportunity. If you had your heart set on attending BGSU and didn’t meet some of the academic requirements, this was an option,” Simmons said. “They have an opportunity to come to BGSU and that’s what we’re focusing on: giving an opportunity to do that.”

space, Disability Services needed to relocate because of the renovation of South Hall. “They looked around for a space and identified an open space here at College Park],” she said. Patnode said South Hall was very dark and she is very happy with the new space. “It’s very welcoming and quiet here,” she said. “People feel good about coming here.” Kessler said there are 752 students registered in their office this semester. On average, she said Disability Services proctors about 2,000 exams in an academic year. In September 2013, they proctored 164. This year, they proctored 198 in September.

There will also be “Roaming Recycling” in residence halls between 5-9 p.m., in which students’ recyclables will be collected for residence hallthemed cash for entering raffles, Hennessey said. Tuesday will be highlighting the Orange Bike Program, which is a community bike program that students must register for so they get a key to unlock bikes around campus. On Wednesday there will be a vegan dining event hosted by Dining Services in the Union lobby from 12-1 p.m. and a “Thrift Store Event” at the Re-Store, in which students can trade an item or donate for things such as clothing, books and Halloween costumes. There will be a tour of the wind turbines on Thursday. Buses from Campus Sustainability and the Geology Department will be used, Chamberland said. Students must register to attend as there are a limited number of seats. The buses will leave at 9:50 a.m. and will return shortly before 11 a.m. Students can ask questions about the turbines as well

A lecture by George Bullerjahn, professor of biological science, will be given on Friday in the Union room 207 at 5 p.m. He will be talking about toxic bacterial bloom in Lake Erie. “As everyone remembers early in August the Toledo water system shut down,” he said. “This is the issue that’s really been brewing for a number of years.” Bullerjahn said a student of Enrique Gomezdelcampo in the Department of Environment of Sustainability approached him about speaking for No Impact Week and he agreed to do so. He will be talking about the causes of the blooms and how to treat water to protect the public. He will also tie in work in the Sandusky Bay being done by grad students in his lab. One thing he wants to find out is the long term effects of the toxins on humans. “What we don’t know is really what the long-term negative effects of toxin formation is,” Bullerjahn said. The event will end Sunday with the “Eco-Sabbath,” in which students are encouraged to turn off electronics and lights and spend time by yourself or with family and friends.

“The numbers are always increasing,” she said. Freshman Taylor McFarland uses Disability Services because of a walking disorder. Even though she didn’t get a chance to see the center in South Hall, she likes the services she receives. “They are very nice,” she said. However, because she lives in Founders, she finds the walk to the new location out of the way and inconvenient. Kessler said students can use the shuttle to get to College Park, but McFarland hadn’t thought of that option. “It’s hard to get there because of my walking disability, but now that I know there is a shuttle it will be easier.”

WIN-FILLED WEEKEND Women’s soccer wins back-to-back matches By Tara Jones Sports Editor

The BG women’s soccer team went two for two this weekend against Ohio Friday and Kent State Saturday. With the victories, the Falcons advanced to 4-11-0 overall and 3-5-0 in Mid-American Conference play. The team’s back-to-back conference wins during the weekend is its first since 2010. To open the weekend, the Falcons scored a 2-1 victory against the Bobcats. The Falcons overcame rainy conditions and a 1-0 halftime deficit to score two second-half goals from freshmen Madison Schupbach and Leah Runkle. Sunday, the Falcons were the first ones to get on the board with a Skylar Fleak goal in the 27th minute of the first half to lead the Falcons to a 1-0 win. The Kent State match also served as Senior Day for BG’s three seniors, Ashley Garr, Kylie Briem and Sidney Huth. Basalyga elected not to start either of the active seniors (Garr remained inactive due to injury) because Kent State was a must-win game. “To me Senior Day is about honoring the seniors, but we don’t want to deviate away from who we are,” she said. “I mean this is a game that needs to be won, so for me tradition and Senior Day is about finding the moment to honor the seniors, it doesn’t necessarily have to do with minutes played.” Huth said she was excited to come away with the win on her Senior Day. “At the end of the day it’s just another game, but to have a win on Senior Day is just the icing,” Huth said. “[This weekend] boosts our Confidence so much. We’ve been working really hard and it’s the process that we’ve been trying to stick to and it’s paying off now.” Head coach Lindsay Basalyga said she was really proud to see some of the team’s efforts come together this past weekend. “For them overall to finally feel the emotion that comes from the work and the process and their commitment, for them to actually feel that, I’m ecstatic for our team,” she said. Fleak said getting on the board early meant the team had to be that much more focused throughout the remainder of the game. “It gives us a lot of confidence throughout the game, but we’re not just going to sit back and relax,” Fleak said. “We stayed disciplined. I think that was one of the huge things I think that helped us throughout the rest of the game.” That ability to remain disciplined also stuck out to Basalyga. “I think [the early goal] works two ways; I think it’s confidence that we are pushing to score, but that was a long time for us to manage a lead and that’s part of learning how to win,” she said. “I’m really proud that

Falcon offense struggles against Broncos Hockey defeats Alabama-Huntsville BG football drops Mid-American Conference match to Western Michigan

By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief

Coming into the season, all of the talk about the Bowling Green offense was about scoring “60 points a game.” When Matt Johnson said that in the opening press conference there was excitement, but there was never a thought that this offense would be held scoreless in an entire half. As the season progressed there were signs of inconsistency by the offense, particularly in the second half against Buffalo and against Ohio University this past week. The Falcons were able to find ways to win those games despite the offense going through dry periods. This time it all caught up with the Falcons, as their 26-14 loss to Western Michigan Saturday was head coach Dino Babers’ first home regular season loss of his head coaching career. “We just didn’t execute today, we just didn’t get the job done like we know we have to,” said quarterback James Knapke. “You have to give them [WMU] credit they played a heck of a game and took us out of our game.” The Falcons entered halftime with a 14-13 lead after a late oneyard touchdown run by Andre

Givens. That would prove to be the Falcons last score of the game and one of their last chances in the red zone. “I don’t remember what we did in the second half I’m not sure we did much of anything,” Babers said. “We weren’t good today, we were off. We were missing on all cylinders and it was the reason why we lost it had a big effect on the game.” The Broncos received the ball first after halftime and put together a four play 80-yard scoring drive to take the lead 19-14. That drive was extended after what seemed to be an 11-yard sack by defensive lineman Bryan Thomas a play that instead resulted in a 15-yard facemask penalty and first down for the Broncos. Three plays later Broncos QB Zach Terrell connected with Darius Phillips for a 63-yard touchdown pass. “It’s football, stuff like that is going to happen,” senior linebacker D.J. Lynch said. “You just have to line it up and play the next down. They executed what they were supposed to do.” The offense responded with a drive of their own, as they converted two straight fourth down conversions to move the ball to the WMU two-yard line. After five handoffs in a row to Fred Coppet the Falcons were faced

with another fourth down play but this time on the two. The play called for a fade route to Heath Jackson in the left side of the end zone. Knapke and Jackson were unable to connect on the play and the Falcons failed to put points on the board. “I knew in my gut it wasn’t going to be a field goal game, it was going to be a two touchdown type game,” Babers said. “It was the same play that beat Indiana; I think it’s a good play. There was some stuff that went on and we didn’t make the play.” That drive was the last time the Falcons would enter Broncos’ territory. Three of the Falcons second half drives ended in three-and-outs and one in the fourth quarter resulted in a first play fumble. When the Falcons did get a first down they could not consistently tie them together. Their offense and tempo relies on getting those first downs wide receiver Ryan Burbrink said. “It was frustrating. You feel like you aren’t doing your job like you need to be doing,” he said. “We have to be consistent.” Although this is a loss and it drops their record to 5-3 (3-1) this does not hurt the Falcons in the

5-0 with help of goalkeeper

Chris Snell records 18 saves in victory against Chargers By Corey Krupa Reporter

On Falcon goaltender Chris Snell’s first collegiate start Friday night, the Falcons shutout the AlabamaHunstville Chargers 5-0 on the road. Snell recorded 18 saves in the victory. “I took it like any other game and went through my routine tonight,” Snell said. “After the first couple shifts I settled in and found my comfort zone.” BG also had five different skaters record a goal in that game. Mitchell McLain scored the first goal shorthanded 6:59 into the game with an assist from Nolan Valleau. This was McLain’s first collegiate goal. The Falcons ended the first period with another goal from Kevin Dufour and assists from Pierre-Luc Mercier and Matt Pohlkamp. “When we were playing well tonight we were a handful,” head coach Chris Bergeron said. “We want to make sure we are getting to our game as quickly and often as possible.” In the second period on the power play, Brandon Hawkins scored his first collegiate goal to give the Falcons a 3-0 lead.

Hawkins recorded an assist on both goals and PierreLuc Mercier and Mark Friedman each recorded one assist in the third period. “We played our game tonight and it was a great team effort,” Hawkins said. “We fought hard all night and it was great to earn the first two points of the weekend.” In Saturday’s contest, the Falcons won 4-1 as Kevin Dufour scored two goals. Dufour now has six goals on the season. “Getting four points this weekend was huge and will be big points down the stretch of the season,” Dufour said. Falcon goalie Tomas Sholl

I have written here before about the opportunities I have had singing with the A Cappella Choir here on campus. Going on tour in May is the bright light that keeps me going through the tunnel of exam week, but there is plenty of fun throughout the year as well. This past week, my choir mates and I had a workshop with The Thirteen, a choir from New York with twelve professional singers and their conductor. They gave a concert Monday

They tell me they wish they had the power like mine to doggedly find something good about every situation, not naively so, but enough to do away with negative energy. Usually I tell them I’m so happy because I know I’m training for the best career in the whole world - teaching. Beyond that, though, I never know what to tell them. I have no recipe for happiness, no lists to give them that spell out how to be happy. The reason is because it’s self-generated. I choose how I want to react to a situation or someone else’s remarks. I like the fact that I always seem happy to others, but it isn’t as though I don’t have any other emotions. In other words: it’s up to you.

You can’t control the weather, but you can control your attitude about it. You can choose to curse the rain or you can choose to notice the pretty reflections of streetlights in the puddles. The same goes for people. You have no control over how other people act, but you do have control over how you respond. You even have control, I believe, over how you feel. I strive to live by Abraham Lincoln’s words: “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Smile. It’s good for your health.

Ebola epidemic scare unwarranted, hysteria pointless IAN ZULICK COLUMNIST

night, which was very cool, but I enjoyed working with them in class just as much. I also sat in on their question and answer session with the Collegiate Chorale and one of the questions posed was how to stay healthy. There were the expected points about eating a balanced diet and getting enough exercise and rest. Then one of the sopranos said something a little surprising. She remarked how important happiness is to physical health. It didn’t seem so surprising after all as I thought about it. Keeping a positive outlook on most everything is something I’m known for. Friends have asked me time and time again why I’m always so happy.

I admit, I was largely a nihilist before I heard about the Ebola virus. What I looked forward to more than anything else [even more so than finally breaking down and shamelessly clogging my arteries with a Hardy’s mile-high bacon burger while boning up on my Nietzsche] was the thought of sinking namelessly into the loam to join my forefathers. But now, just like that one bumper sticker that convinced me that 9/11 was really conducted by communist Martians, so too has the hysteria and fear mongering promulgated by the mass media convinced me that Ebola is indeed an omen of the coming apocalypse. Call me crazy, but I don’t think the very sparse, very isolated cases of Ebola in the United States even remotely

warrant the amount of media coverage they are getting, nor do I think this disease will wipe us all out before they can finish shooting the latest season of “The Walking Dead.” But fear has a way of taking even the most reasonable, rational, calm human beings and turning them into ravenous, paranoid shells of their former selves [read: zombies]. When we see all of the news coverage and feel that sinking feeling in our stomachs and the chills rush up and down our spines, we need to be able to take a step back and examine these claims for what they are. Yes, one man in the US has died from Ebola and a few others have been infected, but there is a fine line between a dangerous, contagious disease and a full-blown epidemic. It is not an airborne pathogen, so you can only contract it by coming into direct contact with someone who has the disease. Yes, many of these individ-

uals have only shown symptoms after contacting others and yes, this disease could, for all we know, become a huge problem, but I think the media is missing the point, which is this: what difference does it make? What would it matter? There is nothing about the spread of Ebola that you and I can control. Though it may make us feel uncomfortable or helpless, we are at the mercy of our natural world, as we have always been. What if, back in the Middle Ages during the time of the Black Death, TVs and the internet had existed? Could the millions who died have averted their doom by reaching a critical mass of vague television reports and paranoid, hysterical Facebook statuses? No, nor will we be able to here in the 21st century. Yes, this is a disquieting thought, but there is simply nothing any of us can do but have faith that this doesn’t become something more serious.

Prescription drugs, obesity, tobacco, alcohol and motor accidents kill millions of people a year in this country combined and yet this doesn’t stop most of us from having fast food; it doesn’t stop most of us from abusing prescription drugs, it doesn’t stop most of us from smoking or drinking and God knows it stops no one from driving, so why all the fear? Death is around us 24/7, so unless we all want to spontaneously decide never to leave the house again, we’re going to have to accept this fact. Maybe Ebola will turn us all into flesh-eating mutants and naught will remain of human civilization but the rusty husk of lonely skyscrapers and the echo of despair over valleys bereft of human footsteps, but something tells me that just like most of us, Ebola will soon be forgotten.

Falcons end match against Buffalo in tie

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU

Men’s soccer unable to overcome 1-1 score as match moved into double overtime

By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor

After a 1-0 loss in the MidAmerican Conference opener, the BG men’s soccer team strayed away from BG soccer in its second MAC game. With a week off between games, Bowling Green came out pushing the ball early. Outside of a few long passes deep into BG territory, the Falcons were able to control the game out of the gate. This pressure ultimately led to an own goal for Buffalo after Danny Shea put a long ball into the box forcing a defenseman header into the Bulls’ goal. However, BG was unable to capitalize on the gift from Buffalo. Less than five minutes later Buffalo scored a goal of its own locking the game at 1-1. “We knew that they’ve come from behind a lot this

WOMEN’S From Page 3 we were able to manage that much of soccer in the second game on the weekend.” On the other side of the ball, Basalyga was also pleased with the effort of the back line. “I think the discipline on our decisions when we stepped and what the rest of the back line did was great,” she said. “Lauren Cadel was again phenomenal, she made some game-winning saves, but her communica-

year, so we knew the game wasn’t going to end 1-0,” sophomore Pat Flynn said. Following the equalizer from the Bulls, the two teams would go on to play a physical 90 additional minutes. Constant midfield physicality, and some apparent missed fouls, the game would last two additional periods with no one coming out on top. “We knew it was going to be physical, that’s sort of the style of play that all MAC games are, so we came in knowing it’d be a battle,” senior Jon Kumher said. “Unfortunately we didn’t get the result we wanted, but I thought we played O.K. in some aspects, but could have played better in others. We just have to let it go, keep going and get better after that.” Getting better is something the Falcons have been working on, and will continue to

work on moving forward. After being on fire early in the season, leading the country in goals, the Falcons will look to get back to BG soccer for their next game, head coach Eric Nichols said. “Something that was going at the beginning of the year just isn’t falling right now,” Flynn said. “We just have to move on, get back to practice and dial in completely for the next game.” While Bowling Green was a bit off with their goal chances, its effort fell just a bit short to the Bulls as well. Not always winning the 50-50 balls, and getting beat to spots on the field, the Falcons left without their best effort on tape. “I think we wanted it, but I don’t think we wanted it more than Buffalo did today and I think that’s a problem,” Kumher said. “This game put us in a little but more of a

hole in the MAC, so we have to get better every practice if we want to get to the MAC tournament.” After doing plenty of things well during the season, many of those did not look as well on Saturday, so this game will be used as a midseason check to get the Falcons back to the basics, Nichols said. The Falcons will take on Ohio State on Wednesday in a non-conference game before playing their third MAC game the following Saturday. Bowling Green will look to put the tie against the Bulls behind them and make strides in each game, both technically and mentally, to finish out the season’s final stretch. “However we do in one game doesn’t carry over to the next game,” Kumher said. “We might not have had that little extra spice this game, but we’re going to make that the next game we do.”

tion as well gave some confidence to our back line and that’s something we really haven’t seen from her over the last year and a half.” The confidence of this team has continued to increase, which has not only had an impact on this year’s team, but provides a promising future for the Falcons. “Right now we’re pretty confident because our team is pretty young, and I think as we move forward and as we get older, I think we’re going to be so much more confident than we are now,” Fleak said. “Being able to

come in as a freshman and play with [this year’s upperclassman], it was just an awesome experience.” Even though this year’s seniors were just a part of the beginning of the rebuilding process, they are still proud to be a part of it, Huth said. “In a few years when we’re up there winning MAC championships and stuff, just to be able to say that I was here to turn this program around is really exciting,” she said. With all of the excitement about the future, the

Falcons still must remain focused on its last three MAC games of this season. “We have three MAC games left and the team knows what’s at steak in terms of the MAC tournament appearance,” Basalyga said. “But we’re sticking to our process and if we end up in the MAC tournament because of our process, that would be great.” The Falcons will take to the road in their next two matches against Western Michigan and Northern Illinois Oct. 24 and Oct. 26.

Dufour gave the Falcons another goal in the second period, however the Chargers answered with a goal late in the second period to make the score 3-1. Dufour scored his second goal in the third period to give the Falcons a 4-1 victory and a sweep on the road. “We came down here with a plan to win two games and we did just that,” Bergeron said. “We were able to execute that plan.” BG outshot Alabama Huntsville 88-37 in the week-

end series. The Falcons went 4-for-12 on the power play and a perfect 9-for-9 on the penalty kill in the series. The Falcons begin conference play 2-0-0, for the first time since the 1996-1997 season. “We are still learning on how to finish games and ultimately we are happy with the weekend,” Bergeron said.” BG will be on the road again this weekend in Potsdam, New York, against the Clarkson University Golden Knights.

FOOTBALL HOCKEY From Page 3 From Page 3 grand scheme of things. They are still undefeated and in first place in the Mid-American Conference East Division. As long as the Falcons continue to win their MAC East games they will be in a position to go back to Detroit for the MAC Championship game. “It gives us one loss,” Babers said. “If we take care of our business coming out of the break we will have an opportunity to win the East and that’s what we want to do.” The Falcons now have a 16 day break before they go on the road Nov. 4 to play The University of Akron. The Zips after their loss to Ohio University Saturday are second in the MAC East division behind BG.

improved his record to 2-0-0 and made 19 saves in the series sweep. Both teams were held scoreless until Hawkins scored early in the second period on the power play to give the Falcons a 1-0 advantage. Later in the second period, Jakob Reichert scored with an assist from Mitchell Mclain to make the score 2-0.

Wellness Connection Accredited The The DailyCrossword Crossword Fix Fix Daily

Program earns bronze level, looks to improvement for next assessment By Ryan Hanson Reporter

The University’s Wellness Connection received bronze level accreditation from a group called US Healthiest. US Healthiest is a non-profit organization that will assess a corporation, college or public agency based on health. Wellness Connection is an umbrella term for the services offered for student, faculty and staff health on campus. Faith Yingling, director of Wellness Connection, gathered together a group of her colleagues to create an assessment committee. The committee consisted of Yingling, Karyn Smith from the Recreation and Wellness department, Garret Gilmer from the Counseling Center, Deborah Busdeker from the Falcon Health Center and Holly Grunn from Fraternity and Sorority Life. “You wanna get everyone’s input,” Yingling said. She said although the assessment committee isn’t active anymore, all of the people on it constantly collaborate as a part of the Wellness Connection on campus. “Building a culture of wellness is about... everyone in campus,” Yingling said. Yingling said that the positive aspects of the University’s Wellness programs that lead

to the bronze level accreditation was the Wellness Connection’s collaboration. She said the people from other departments that commented during the assessment were “instrumental” to the Wellness Connection receiving accreditation. “There’s a lot of collaboration when it comes to wellness on this campus and I appreciate that,” Yingling said. Smith also said collaboration was a place where the Wellness Connection excelled. “Most times when people think of health, they think of physical health,” Smith said. “And I think we offer so much more than that.” Gilmer said that the “coordination of care” in different aspects of health was a positive aspect. He mentioned that another area where the Wellness Connection excelled was the bystander intervention program. Bystander intervention is training for students, faculty and staff to learn how to intervene when someone is struggling. For improvement, Smith said that the University currently doesn’t offer health risk assessment for students, faculty or staff. She described this as a way to “assess current habits and identify top health concerns and priorities.” Yingling said the Wellness

Connection needs to improve on “telling their story.” She said that they already reach out to upper administration, but she thinks they could do more to encourage the upper administration to participate and invite them to events. “[We can improve by] getting it into the hands of the people that need to know this information and can advocate for us,” Yingling said. Yingling said that although US Healthiest typically has a fee, the University got a free assessment. She said they reached out to the University to try out new tests for accreditation. So if the University’s assessment committee were to give feedback on the tests, US Healthiest would provide their service for free. US Healthiest first sent out forms to the assessment committee to fill out and send back to them. Gilmer said that the committee first did the assessments individually then brought them together to compare and collaborate. Then the information was sent back to US Healthiest. Yingling said that US Healthiest came in late January for a “site visit” where they examined all the services and facilities that the assessment committee documented. “It was really informative to, all at once, see the net we cast for students,” Gilmer said.
