Film explores IN widening pay gap s t a t e s man

DENISE SMITH Reporter As Indiana State University students venture into the real world, they may be facing an unbalanced economy, where the gap between the rich and poor is widening.

Cunningham Memorial Library hosted a showing of the documentary “Inequality for All,” including a panel discussion featuring three Indiana State faculty members, Wednesday evening.

The film picks up after the Occupy Movement and the most recent recession, when the scales between the poor and the wealthy tipped before the public eye.

Prior to its latest dip, the economy had doubled over a 30-year period, but gradually the profit had been unevenly split. According to the movie, the 400 richest people in the United States have more money than the lowest 150 million combined.

Robert Reich, the former secretary of labor for Bill Clinton and the film’s star, said that middle class workers were CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

BRIANNE HOFMANN Editor-in-Chief Indiana State University Board of Trustees approved a 2.9 percent increase in room and board rates for the 2014-15 academic year Friday.

options will pay higher rates.

Diann McKee, vice president of business affairs and university treasurer, said the increase is in line with regional university housing plans.

“We have strived to maintain the affordability of our residence halls and University Apartments and believe rates for the coming year will compare favorably with other institutions,” McKee said.

The new sorority housing, Reeve Hall,

is the only campus residential building exempt from the rate increase. Board members are waiting until the May meeting to determine its costs.

Also beginning the fall 2014 semester, the rate structure for the University Apartments will be modified this fall to reflect living and learning experiences similar to those in other residence halls.

Indiana State offers new online business degree Adler ingalsbe Reporter Students and faculty expect Indiana State’s newly-offered online business degree to be very popular and beneficial.

Brien Smith, Dean of Scott College of Business said he is extremely excited about the online degree that will be available for Indiana State.

“We are excited about offering business programs online. Online programs help us position ourselves as a leader in distance education for business,” Smith said.

Smith said Indiana State is offering the online degree to help out students who struggle with commuting to campus.

“Online programs help us better meet the needs of our customers by providing high-quality business programs to students who may not be able to attend classes on campus. In this way, we are bringing more quality education options to the citizens of Indiana,” he said.

Smith expects this to be a very popular choice for students because of the convenience it brings them.

“We absolutely believe it will be popular. We share the same vision and goals as the rest of the University. We feel that we can offer high-quality programming online at a price that is reasonable for students,” Smith said.

Brad Ackman, sophomore business major who agrees with Smith, believes the online program will be very successful for students who commute.

“I feel like the opportunity to earn a business degree through the Scott College of Business would be very convenient. I would be interested in earning a degree online if I was a commuter student.

With the new Indiana State University online business degree, students will no longer have to worry about trying to find a way to commute to campus in order to pursue a higher education (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

It will also be great publicity for the Scott College of Business and ISU as a university.”

Smith said the decision to create an online business degree came from Indiana State is needing to meet the needs of adults and commuters.

“As a state institution we need to be responsive to the educational needs of adult learners in Indiana. Online programming brings students great flexibility in their scheduling and helps them graduate on time. This is true for

many students taking classes on campus as well. It is all about meeting the needs of the customer,” he said.

Wes Heck, a sophomore business major, thinks the online business degree has its ups and downs.

“I think that it’s a good and bad idea. It’s a good idea from the standpoint that the world has become all about technology.

Offering an online degree would appeal to a lot of people,” Heck said. “But the only problem with an online degree is once you enter the work force, you won’t

have as good of people skills and may not be able to handle an interview or real life business complications.”

Although Indiana State is still at the beginning of the process, Smith believes the new online program will result in more students leaving ISU with a degree in hand.

“We are early in the process but we are expecting solid growth. I would love to see 100 more graduates per year coming out of the distance education stream,” he said.

Under the new structure, “families will be located in one community, which will allow for the development of intentional programming for students and their significant others/children that best meets their unique needs,” according to the meeting agenda.

Although this kind of housing has been geared toward upperclassmen in the past, sophomores will be included, as well.

In other business, the Board of Trustees extended President Daniel J. Bradley’s contract for another three years.

Randy Minas, Board of Trustees president, said extending Bradley’s contract would create a higher likelihood for institutional success.

“Having a steady, seasoned and trusted hand at the helm is critical to our success,” Minas said. “Dr. Bradley has been a remarkably effective leader.

His contract was originally going to expire in 2016, will now last through June 30, 2019, Minas said.

Bradley, who has been with the university since 2008, said he was “excited” to continue his time at Indiana State and appreciated the Board of Trustees’ confidence in his abilities.

“Cheri and I love being part of the Indiana State family and the Terre Haute

community,” he said.

On Friday, the trustees also endorsed the merger of the department of elementary, early and special education with the department of curriculum, instruction and media technology in the Bayh College of Education.

Provost Richard ‘Biff ’ Williams said the move would “result in a single, more comprehensive department focused on advancing knowledge and the practice of teaching, learning, and instructional technology in the Pre-K through 12 schools while providing education to a variety of other professionals in business, industry, health, military and higher education.”

In other action, the board approved: • An adopted resolution recognizing former trustee George Pillow of Indianapolis for his six years of service.

Pillow stepped down from the board in September after being named to the State Horse Racing Commission • A $300 fee each semester for internationally-sponsored student aimed at sustaining and enhancing support • An increase of the $10 replacement diploma fee to $25 with a new $5 notary fee per transcript or diploma

On Friday, the Indiana State University Board of Trustees approved extending President Daniel J. Bradley’s contract by three years. The 11th president will now remain at ISU through 2019 (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

OPINION

Monday, February 24, 2014 • Page 5 Opinions Editor, Samual Clark isu-statesmanopinions@mail.indstate.edu Editor-in-Chief, Brianne Hofmann isu-statesmaneditor@mail.indstate.edu

Ukrainian revolution overlooked, too many dead I’m not entirely sure how many of you are aware, but things have taken a sharp nosedive in Eastern Europe.

Ukraine has been the site of protests for the past four months, ever since now ex-president Viktor Yanukovych pulled the rug from Opinions beneath his country Editor by abandoning the European Union’s olive branch in favor of furthering Russian support. Recently, though, the protest turned into a bloody battle between citizens and law enforcement.

After four months of tension and trouble, Ukraine has finally seen Yanukovych’s downfall as parliament officially and unanimously signed into being a law that stripped the president of his powers and brought rebellion-leader Yulia Tymoshenko out of prison.

Tymoshenko was actually a major driving force behind the 2004 revolt and the losing candidate in the 2010 presidential election. After Tymoshenko lost to Yanukovych, she was arrested one year later for supposedly selling highpriced gas deals to the Russian-state owned company, Gazprom. She then spent seven years in prison.

Yanukovych has a pretty nasty habit of deciding what he wants to do, with little to no acknowledgement of the law’s take on what he does. And with Vladimir Putin pulling Ukraine’s strings, we could have seen a very quick backslide into a lot of trouble.

Thankfully though, parliament

Sam Clark

intervened and the coupe detat won out.

But for how long?

It’s no big secret that multiple military upheavals in a short amount of time tend to spell trouble. Look to countries such as Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Or better yet, look at countries like Zimbabwe, Colombia and South Africa. These are countries in near-constant turbulence due to political extremism. The great Marxist revolution in the Middle East led to the massive slaughter of innocent civilians. And the revolt in Ukraine has, or is estimated to have, a body count of somewhere in the hundreds.

Now the public media’s question of Ukraine’s future is spreading like wildfire. Will it side with the EU, or will it stay with Russia?

Yeah, sorry, but to me this isn’t a situation of “who’s on whose side.” This

There’s so much wrong with the fact that you can turn any corner and hear all about a state representative’s stepping on metaphorical toes while there are very literal necks being stepped on by officers sworn to protect them.

Perhaps we ought to focus a little more on issues of global importance instead of a personal scoff. So the next time you want to moan about how unfair social taxes are, take a good look at the world.

We as Americans often forget how bad it can get.

Sure we deal with crummy payments and bad cell phone reception, but do you remember ever having to walk into the street with a Molotov cocktail?

I didn’t think so. Be grateful for what we’ve been given.

Because as Ukraine has proven, it can all go up in a cloud of smoke.

In December, Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych started a revolution when failing to follow his people’s wishes.

Recently, more news has unfolded as we find the real horror (Photo courtesy of Mstyslav Chernov via Wikimedia Commons).

We just watched a dictator literally run his people into the ground and meet the just end to his political career.

It should not be a question of where is Ukraine going now, but how can we make sure that this never happens again? Yanukovych was a dictator in a president’s clothing.

We have our heads stuck so far up Sochi’s rear that we apparently forgot that the rest of the world has kept turning.

Stars pave the rainbow brick road for future gay youth How appropriate that just on the heels of Valentine’s day, we have had more young people thrust into the spotlight for being open about themselves and who they love.

First was Michael Sam, who hopes to be the first openly-gay professional football player. He was a prime choice in the draft before he came out, but after coming out, his popularity dropped

sports, I have heard that Sam is pretty good and even though he didn’t have to come out — since his coaches, teammates and the NFL already knew — it is good to have such a great role model for young, gay athletes.

He is far from being the first gay athlete, but what is so shocking about his coming out is that it is before his career has even started. This could have a large effect on how his team or the fans toward him.

It will be difficult, but if he stays strong Assistant and pulls through, then we have yet Editor another role model who will hopefully inspire more people to be honest with themselves and others. significantly.

Next, on Valentine’s Day, Ellen Page Did being open about himself really came out at a conference aimed at change the way he plays? No, it clearly supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and didn’t. transgender people.

While I know next to nothing about She gave a beautiful speech about the

Kylie Adkins

hardships many LGBT people go through, including herself. She talked about how she draws strength from how brave many of the people she was talking to are.

It is so important that Page came out.

Young girls don’t have a homosexual peer role model. Sure, there’s Ellen DeGeneres and plenty of other out bi-sexual and lesbian women, but there aren’t very many young enough for current teenagers to relate to. This is also true of gay males, but to a lesser extent.

There are far more gay young males out there than females. A lot is due to the pressure that Hollywood puts on young stars, as Ellen Page pointed out in her coming out speech.

They are expected to act a certain way, to dress a certain way and even to live a certain way. It is important that we have two young people who have broken the

mold.

It is really unfortunate that this is even news. Not that I think it isn’t worthy of being reported, it’s just sad that people still need to hide themselves.

At this point in time it shouldn’t be a big deal for these people to come out. It’s even sadder that some people wait until so late in their lives. It is a really long time to hide from the world. Gay isn’t really that strange in our culture anymore, even though some people would have us think so.

Hopefully, one day people won’t have to “come out” and make public announcements about their sexuality and everyone can just be accepted as they are.

Maybe some day kids won’t be bullied for their sexuality or punished for breaking the mold and loving whomever they want.

Netflix raises the bar television with new innovation “That’s how you devour a whale, Doug, one bite at a time,” Kevin Spacey said in the hit show “House of Cards.” Spacey plays the lead role as the devious congressman Frank Underwood in the breakthrough for the video provider Netflix and TV-lovers everywhere.

With the constant Columnist technological changes, the thirst for instant gratification grows greater every year. TV providers are losing ground to Netflix and other Internet-based entertainment.

At the end of the fourth quarter in 2013, Netflix had 44 million subscribers in 41 different countries around the world.

This puts Netflix ahead of any single United States commercial TV provider on the market to date. Netflix’s success is attributed to it’ ease of use, advanced user control and hit exclusives like “House of Cards.”

Starting as an online DVD rental enterprise in 1997, Netflix has grown and changed the way we all view TV. Years ago, when you wanted to watch a new TV program, you got out the TV Guide to see what time it was airing and

T.C. Wampler

what channel. Everyone had to plan their lives around TV programming to make sure they saw the shows they wanted to see. This was also important for the programmers because they wanted to reach as many viewers as they could during prime time window.

We all have used the “tube” as an escape from our lives and from the stresses of the world. We use it as a way to gather the family together and have some quality time.

It gave us a common ground with strangers, to ensure we had something to talk about. This phenomenon is not exclusive to TV programming, but is also relevant to movies, as well.

Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and many more video providers have broken this tradition of scheduling lives around programmed times, giving us the choice of when to watch something.

You can now turn on any electronic device and use it to watch your favorite show, movie or documentary. There are entire seasons available to watch, one after another. Giving complete control to the user has changed the perception of what television is.

Coming home from work, school or just a long, stressful day sitting down in front of your favorite show or movie helps

ease your tensions. Netflix is a gateway many have used to get away from the life’s troubles.

Students everywhere have something to do to take their minds off studying during these next few weeks coming into midterms.

If you are anything like me, you love using Netflix. It gives us a way to escape from everything. Not only that, but for those of us who have a hard time keeping up with new TV shows as they air through the weeks, Netflix’s user-friendly

availability give you the ability to watch at your own leisure.

It also gives the ability to binge-watch my shows so you will never get lost in the story or miss what happened last week.

Even for those who feel like have seen it all, don’t sweat it. Providers plan to spend another $3 billion on new programming this year.

That is a staggering figure but for a binge-watchers, it is only a few weeks of content. It is exciting to see a company like Netflix shaping our entertainment world.

Entertainment conglomerate, Netflix, has completely revolutionized the way that we view our movies and television with easier access on our time (Photo courtesy of Clipart.com).

Welcome to the Career Opportunity Fair May 2014 is only 3 months away, and Indiana State University students will be starting new jobs and internships before we know it! If you haven’t yet secured that full time post-graduate job or your Summer 2014 internship, the Career Opportunity Fair is a great place to look. The Career Center will again host a campus-wide career fair at the Hulman Center on Wednesday, February 26th from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. In attendance will be more than 100 employers from a wide range of industries and companies here to speak specifically with ISU students.

If you aren’t in the hunt for an internship or job at this time, a career fair is a great place to network with employers for future opportunities and to practice talking about your skills and accomplishments. The more you practice talking about yourself and your qualifications, the easier it gets.

DARBY SCISM ISU CAREER CENTER DIRECTOR Tips for getting the most out of your Career Opportunity Fair experience: 1.

Dress professionally! You will not be allowed into the fair if you have on jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, tennis shoes, etc. OR if you have too much skin showing (ladies!). Make a great first impression by wearing conservative and professional clothing (see the related article in this section).

2.

Bring at least 10 copies of your resume (come to Walk In hours on Monday or Tuesday to make sure your resume looks great – 10:00 a.m.

– 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. in the Career Center, east of the fountain).

3.

Research which companies you would like to meet by reviewing the company attendance list at http://www.indstate.edu/carcen/ under “Workshops and Events.” Create a list of at least 10 firms you would like to meet. The more research you do about each company, the more knowledgeable, interested, and impressive you will sound.

4.

Bring your student ID so we can scan you in to the fair. Once you scan in, pick up the Employer Guide and figure out where the employers you wish to speak with are located.

5.

When you approach an employer table, smile, give a firm handshake, and introduce yourself. The conversation with the recruiter should be about what skills, experience and accomplishments you can bring to their company and position. Be sure to mention your success in academics, student organizations, volunteer experiences, part-time jobs, leadership activities, and anything else that will make you an impressive candidate for their internship or job openings.

6.

Make sure to get the recruiter’s name and contact information as well as details about how to apply to their openings. Some recruiters will accept your resume on the spot and others will want you to visit their website to fill out an application and submit a resume.

7.

If you are genuinely interested in a company’s internship or full-time job opening, send the recruiter a thank you note or email message.

You will want to thank them for attending the fair at ISU and reiterate your interest in their opening.

There will be Career Center staff at the fair to answer any of your questions. We also encourage you to make an appointment with one of the Career Advisors in the weeks following the fair to talk through your internship or job search plan as well as your career exploration and research.

Planning for your future career is something that shouldn’t wait until the last minute, so make sure to visit the Career Center now!

Unlocking The Spectrum was created with the mission of making ABA Therapy accessible to ALL children with autism by providing the highest quality ABA Therapy services to areas of need throughout Indiana.

Ilana Hernandez, MA, BCBA is the Founder and Director of Unlocking The Spectrum. Ilana grew up in Bloomington and first began working with children who had special needs while in college at Indiana University. Working at a group home for children with autism, Ilana realized that there had to be a way to more effectively help the children she cared so deeply about. She began researching and discovered Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy.

Research, conducted over the past 40 years, has shown ABA Therapy to be the most effective treatment for children with autism. In fact, ABA therapy is the only therapy endorsed by the Surgeon General as an effective treatment for autism.

At Unlocking The Spectrum, we believe that an effective ABA program is an essential component in allowing children with autism to reach their maximum potential.

Are You Prepared to Wow Them at the Career Fair?

Recruiters see hundreds of students at career fairs at several universities and colleges each semester. Have you thought about how you are going to stand out amongst Merry Lucas your competition?

Career Center Follow the steps below to help you prepare for the fair, as well as leave a lasting, positive impression after the day is over.

Before Attending the Career Opportunity Fair: • Clarify why you are going to the career fair. Are you attending to look for an internship, summer employment or full-time employment? Are you going to learn more about options in your career field or network with employers?

By having a good understanding of what you are looking for, you are going to make better use of your time and be able to sell yourself better to companies.

Knowing your own goals will also help you determine whether the company has the professional opportunities you are looking for.

• Know which organizations will be attending. Last semester, over 100 organizations, companies, and graduate schools attended the Career Opportunity Fair. By trying to talk to everyone, you will exhaust yourself and waste valuable time speaking to companies that don’t have what you are seeking. Review the list of companies attending the fair and make a list of 10 companies that you would like to speak with and learn more about. The complete list of employers can be found at www. indstate.edu/carcen/events/ and then by clicking on “Participating Employers”. Use Google or the organization website to research the

organization: structure, mission/ philosophy/goals, size and locations, products and services, and recent press coverage.

• Prepare your resume. For a career fair, resumes should be one page long and should highlight your relevant and transferrable experiences and skills. Have your resume reviewed by a career advisor at the Career Center prior to the fair to get feedback. Print your resume on quality paper (such as 20 or 24lb) rather than just computer paper.

Bring enough copies to the fair for the organizations you are interested in, plus a few extra, in a padfolio!

• Develop an “elevator pitch”.

Create a 30 second “pitch” to introduce yourself to employers.

Include your name, major, and professional goal(s). Express your interest in a specific position and describe what you have to offer the organization (use examples from previous experience). Demonstrate your knowledge of the organization.

• Eye contact and handshakes.

When initially meeting someone, your first impression goes a long way. When approaching a recruiter, make sure to greet them with a smile and eye contact. These two things display your confidence and help draw the other person into a conversation with you.

Additionally, make sure that as you introduce yourself and state your name, you greet the recruiter with a firm handshake. Offer a warm firm, palm to palm handshake as you begin your conversation.

• Practice! Grab a friend and practice your elevator pitch with one another. It gets easier and more comfortable the more you practice.

After Attending the Career Opportunity Fair: • Follow instructions. When speaking to recruiters, it is likely that they’ll give you directions about how to apply for internships or jobs with their companies. In many cases,

this may include submitting your resume or an application online.

Whatever the directions are, make sure to follow them and submit any materials before the deadline!

• Thank the recruiter(s) you spoke with. At the end of each conversation you have with a recruiter or company representative, ask for his or her business card.

Within 48 (preferably 24) hours, send each individual a note thanking them for recruiting at ISU and taking time to speak with you.

Use this message to highlight some of your skills that may be pertinent to the position you are seeking.

Thank you emails are nice, but a handwritten mailed note is even better!

Merry is a Career Advisor, Liaison to the College of Arts and Sciences, Library and Distance Education.

On average, employers spend only 30 seconds reviewing a candidate’s résumé, therefore candidates need to make every second count! The biggest mistake a candidate can make when writing bullet points for the experience section on their résumé is simply telling the employer the tasks they did. For example, “Provided exceptional customer service” does not tell the reader how you provided exceptional customer service; why providing exceptional customer service is important to the organization; or the impact your actions had on the organization. Providing the reader with a descriptive bullet point gives them the opportunity to understand the duties of your position and how well you performed them. Let’s try this statement again: “Provided exceptional customer service” becomes “Provided exceptional customer service to over 50 clients on a daily basis by prioritizing issues and concerns to increase client satisfaction and retention for the organization.”

On Campus Recruiting: The Best Kept Secret That Isn’t Meant To Be a Secret You might not know this, but right now, employers want YOU. That’s right, while you are engrossed with student activities, leading a s t u d e n t organization, TERESA DWYER working on CAREER CENTER campus or at a part-time job while simultaneously balancing it all with the pursuit of knowledge in your chosen career field - YOU are most desirable to future employers.

That’s right, they want to meet YOU. So much so that company recruiters even come to campus for the purpose of seeking YOU out, educating YOU about opportunities with their company, and interviewing YOU for internships and jobs. This phenomenon where recruiters come to campus with the hope of finding bright, talented students and future graduates for their internships and entry-level roles is called On Campus Recruiting, or OCR. OCR occurs in a multitude of ways and it’s happening more often than you think, right here at Indiana State University. The most obvious way that recruiters participate in OCR is by attending the Career Opportunity Fair.

These events draw a large number of representatives from big name companies to small and mid-level firms. The Career Opportunity Fair is open to all students, freshman through senior, from any academic discipline. This is your chance to have that face-to-face contact with

a recruiter, during which time you can ask all those burning questions that you can’t always get the answers to from a website. You can learn first-hand about the hiring process, what they look for in potential candidates, and the career paths of new employees. What you need to know is that the Career Opportunity Fair is your chance to ask questions and get the answers you will need in order to make an informed decision about what jobs and companies are a good match for you. This is your time to explore and learn. Go, seek, and discover. The opportunity is there for you!

Another way in which companies will engage in OCR is by hosting an information session on campus.

These information sessions can happen at any time during the academic year and are either coordinated by the Career Center or by a targeted academic department.

An information session is a scheduled time where company representatives come on campus to educate you about careers within their organization. It is standard practice for representatives to collect resumes at the session and conduct interviews either immediately following the session, the next day, or perhaps a couple weeks later. Therefore, you’ll want to come prepared with a resume and ready to make a positive first impression.

A more refined search will detail those companies that fit with your qualifications.

Employers have the ability to select who they want to interview in advance, so you’ll want to have a resume that has been critiqued by a member of the Career Center ready to go. A delay

in submitting your materials could result in a missed opportunity.

On Campus Recruiting provides students with a unique prospect, one in which companies come looking for you. Recruiters see that you are developing time management skills, honing your leadership experience, making decisions that have an impact on the future, and involved in your community. You’re engaged in your education and that’s what employers are seeking, students just like YOU. Opportunities like this

don’t happen after you’ve graduated.

Take advantage of these while you are at Indiana State University, you won’t regret it.

Let the C-A-R drive your Behavioral Interview One of the best indicators of what you will do in the future is based on your past behavior and experiences.

This is the primary reason Jeff Hudnall inter viewers Career Center like to conduct behavior based interviews. It is very difficult to recall specific past experiences or “wing it” when put on the spot in this type of interview. Preparation and practice is the key to success.

Part of your preparation should include researching the company and position description to determine the skills and experiences they are looking for.

It is equally important to reflect on your past experiences and find specific examples you can use in the interview to showcase your skills and abilities. When preparing, try to think of many different examples so you do not use the same situation for multiple answers. Variety is good in your examples because it shows depth of experience and gives your answers credibility.

Once you have prepared, you can

then head into the interview with confidence. During the interview you will want to focus your answers on the topic to avoid rambling with unnecessary words. The C-A-R method will help you neatly package your answers and keep you on track.

The ‘C’ stands for Circumstance, ‘A’ is for Action, and ‘R’ is for Result. Try to set the stage at the beginning of your answer with the “circumstances” involved. Give the big picture of the situation you were in. Then dive into the “action” that you took to accomplish the tasks.

Finally, wrap up your answer by talking about the “results” of your

action and behavior. Talk about what you learned from the situation or if you would have done anything differently.

Answering behavior based interview questions is like telling a story. Just like a story, you need a clear beginning, middle, and ending. Remember to let the C-A-R drive your interview! If you’d like to practice your interview skills, set up a mock interview with one of the Career Advisors in the Career Center. It gets easier the more you practice!

Employers Seek Graduates with Professional and Employability Skills In 2013, the Indiana State University Career Center and Division of Academic Affairs hired Eduventures, a higher education research and consulting firm, to survey employers and human resource professionals in the State of Indiana about the skills and qualifications they seek when hiring new college graduates. Not surprisingly, Indiana employers mentioned that students’ “professional and soft skills” are just as important as their academic knowledge and “hard skills.” What this means is that students not only need to have knowledge and experience in their major and industry area, but they need to know how to present themselves professionally in the workplace. Employers mentioned the following skills/qualities as being the most important for new graduates to possess: • Communication skills • Critical thinking skills • Problem solving • Teamwork • Leadership • Analyze and Evaluate Data • Global Understanding • Understanding of Technology • Self-management / Work independently • Strong ethics and integrity • Adaptability and flexibility • Conducting oneself in a professional manner (email etiquette, professional dress and demeanor, etc.)

Professional Skills Certificates In response to these needs of employers, Indiana State University and the Career Center have launched the “Professional Skills Certificate” initiative to help students develop some of these employability skills as they earn their academic degree. Faculty and staff from a variety of departments have started developing certificate programs that will help students enhance specific professional skills that will make them more competitive in the job search and more successful in the workplace. A few of the already established certificates include: • Sycamore Career Ready Certificate – focuses on professional identity, skills, and experience to improve your chances at finding a great job.

• Workplace Professional Skills Certificate – introduces necessary workplace skills such as customer service, diversity training, sexual harassment prevention, confidentiality and communication skills.

• Certified Peer Educator Training – teaches skills needed by peer educators on health, wellness and safety topics.

• Team Facilitation Certificate - prepares students to work with groups in an experiential context related to team and individual growth, group development, and adventure-challenge education.

• Leadership Certificate – prepares students to lead by examining the vision, values, and beliefs that will shape the direction of our campus and our world.

There are a number of additional certificates in the planning stages that will be launched next fall including Professional and Business Communication Certificate, Teamwork Certificate, and a Sustainability Certificate. Students are also encouraged to pursue 3rd party and online certifications that are valued in their respective industry and career fields.

For more information on the Certificate Program please see http://www.indstate.edu/carcen/students/certificates.aspx

Having a LinkedIn profile that demonstrates your positive professional skills can make a great first impression. LinkedIn is also a great way to connect and learn from professionals in the field.

Getting Started…

Next search for teachers, professors, and other professionals with whom you have a positive relationship. As your network begins to grow, seek out new people to connect with either by having a current connection introduce you or by politely and professionally messaging that individual.

Don’t just use the default email introduction for a connection. Be sure to craft something short and sincere that will get your new connection’s attention.

Communicating on LinkedIn. When communicating with people you don’t yet know, write and “speak” in a more formal and professional manner. As you build better rapport, use the language your connection feels comfortable with. Once you’re connected, stay connected. Give updates to your contacts without being a pest. Remember, this is not a contest of how many people you can connect with, it is more important to have quality and strength in your connections over quantity.

To have a great profile you should focus on 5 key areas: 1. A professional photo 2. A headline that is a snapshot of what you offer 3. Industry related keywords and transferable Use LinkedIn to Search for Internships and Jobs. skills that you possess or have experience with 4.

Having this university connection is a good conversation starter. Not every connection you request or make on LinkedIn (or in life) will take you to your dream job, but it is always smart to start where you and another person have common ground (ISU).

Lilly Endowment grant to help university boost graduates’ career prospects

A $3 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. will allow Indiana State University to build job readiness skills into its curriculum and expand its Career Center. The grant is part of a $62.7 million initiative by the endowment aimed at helping graduates of 39 accredited colleges and universities in the state find meaningful employment in Indiana.

Indiana State will use its funding to expand its Focus Indiana initiative by introducing employment awareness early in students’ college careers through its existing Foundational Studies program, Freshman Transition course and Sycamore Career Ready Certificate activities. The grant also will fund expanded internship opportunities and support new employer relations staff who will work with targeted growth and high need industries.

“We want Indiana State to be at the forefront of innovation for connecting our graduates to meaningful employment in Indiana,” said university President Dan Bradley. “The endowment’s support will enable us to pursue student and employer engagement strategies more proactively, which is good for our students’ future and the future of our state.”

More than 85 percent of Indiana State’s undergraduate students are from Indiana and more than two-thirds of those students stay in the state upon graduation, Bradley noted.

The Endowment’s Initiative to Promote Opportunities through Educational Collaborations has been in place for more than a decade.

While progress has been made, particularly through expanded internship opportunities and more robust career placement offices, Indiana college graduates continue to have difficulty finding jobs within the state that are suitable to individuals holding a bachelor’s degree, Endowment officials said.

“Despite a steady supply of four-year college graduates, Indiana ranks very low among the states in the percentage of its adult working-age population that has a bachelor’s degree, and the state’s average per capita income ranking also is unacceptable,” said Sara B. Cobb, vice president for education at the endowment. “The endowment has become increasingly concerned about the implications of these statistics and their potential impact on the state’s future prosperity.”

A 2011 study by Battelle Technology Partnership Practice, which was funded by the endowment, found that Indiana lags the nation in the availability of high-skilled jobs and that many graduates do not have the required majors or other credentials for the high-skilled jobs that are available. The study suggested actions that colleges and universities could take to prepare and connect their graduates better to high-skilled jobs and help increase the state’s demand for educated workers.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 In 2012 the endowment provided planning grants to Indiana colleges and universities that enabled them to review Battelle’s findings, study the problem from the perspective of each institution’s mission and context, understand more deeply the experiences of their graduates in seeking employment in Indiana, and develop school-specific strategies to address the initiative’s aim. Many schools also used the planning period to research best practices at peer institutions around the state and country.

“The endowment has seen firsthand that colleges and universities have the ability and desire to help improve the job prospects of college graduates in Indiana, and we wanted to give them the resources to be even more strategic and ambitious,” added Cobb.

Indiana State’s Career Center has already shifted its focus and is reaching out to students from the time they first set foot on campus, rather than waiting for students to seek its assistance, which generally doesn’t happen until they near graduation, said Nancy Rogers, associate vice president for community engagement and experiential learning.

“Most of our students are first-generation college students and can especially benefit from the expanded early outreach that this grant will enable,” Rogers said. “To our students, a college education means gaining access to upward mobility. This grant will help us enhance the already lifechanging experience of an Indiana State education.”

The Career Center, through its new employer relations specialists, will develop strategic partnerships with employers in manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; health care; and professional, scientific, and technical services, said Darby Scism, the center’s executive director.

“We selected these industry clusters because we already offer a strong employment program in other clusters,” Scism said. “While we are centrally focused on educating our students so they can obtain positions within growing industries in Indiana, it is important to note that we will not ignore the other industries that also are significant to the health of our economy. We will utilize marketing materials to communicate with employers about Focus Indiana and its objectives.”

Indiana State expects the initiatives made possible by the Endowment grant to increase the number of its graduates landing meaningful employment in Indiana by more than 1,100 during the next five years.

struggling the most.

“Who is actually looking out for the American worker?” Reich said in the film.

Using graphs, personal narrative and interviews with real middle class workers, Reich demonstrated how Americans struggle because of the wage gap.

Richard Lotspeich, professor of economics, said he considered the Wednesday showing a successful event and hoped it was informative for students as well as the Terre Haute community.

“Well, I want people to think about these issues carefully. I thought Professor Reich’s film did a great job presenting this,” Lotspeich said. “The film had very striking data and very striking graphs.

He did it in a very entertaining way and sort of getting into the nuts and bolts analysis about these issues.”

Indiana State Librarian Marsha Miller said she expected students to leave after the movie during the question and answer session. However, students showed concern about the wealth and poor gap in the nation and wondered how it will affect them after they graduate.

“Almost everybody stayed and there was a lot of serious involvement,” said

We did have 131 people come out.”

Following an encore showing Thursday, Reich was scheduled for an interactive webcast with students but he had to cancel.

“I imagine a lot of people wanted to come today, but were interested in the follow-up podcast with Professor Reich,

but it was canceled so I understand that not that many people might have wanted to come out again,” Lotspeich said.

“Inequality for All” premiered in 2013 at the Sundance Film Festival, winning a special jury award for achievement in filmmaking.

Reich, the film’s centerpiece, is also a best-selling author of over 20 books and is currently a professor at the University of California, Berkley.

Physicist to speak about cosmology

Dave Taylor

ISU Communications and Marketing A physicist who studies the origin and makeup of the universe is the next speaker for Indiana State University’s 2013-14 University Speakers Series.

Stephen M. Barr writes and lectures extensively on the relation of science and religion. He will discuss “Particle Physics and Cosmology” on March 4 at 7 p.m. in University Hall Theatre at Indiana State.

Barr is a professor in the department of physics and astronomy at the University of Delaware and is a member of the university’s Bartol Research Institute.

His research centers mainly on “grand unified theories” and the cosmology of

the early universe. He has written 150 research papers, as well as an article on Grand Unification for the Encyclopedia of Physics.

Many of Barr’s articles and reviews have appeared in First Things, on whose advisory council he serves. He has also written for “The Public Interest,” “The Weekly Standard,” “National Review,” “Modern Age,” “Academic Questions” and other national publications.

He is the author of “Modern Physics and Ancient Faith” (University of Notre Dame Press, 2003), “A Student’s Guide to Natural Science” (Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2006) and “Science and Religion: The Myth of Conflict” (Catholic Truth Society, 2011).

A theoretical particle physicist, Barr received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1978 and went on to do postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania.

After holding research faculty positions at the University of Washington and Brookhaven National Laboratory he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 1987.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He has served on the board of The Fellowship of Catholic Scholars and was elected in 2010 to the Academy of Catholic Theology.

Like all University Speakers Series programs, Barr’s presentation is free and open to the public.

The room was crowded, filled with people of all ages and nationalities and the warm scent of traditional Chinese food.

Held before the “Cirque Ziva” performance on Friday night, the reception took place in the lobby of Tilson Auditorium. It’s the Chinese School of the Wabash Valley’s contribution to what is to become a night of cultural celebration.

The lights dimmed as the music grew louder, and the Golden Acrobats’ presentation of “Cirque Ziva” began. The first act was a variety of German wheel acrobatics, where performers rolled and spun around the stage in hoop-like devices. The tricks grew in difficulty and intensity, and by the end, six performers rode within a single wheel, making it spin like a penny about to fall over.

Four performers bent their bodies in seemingly impossible ways, building themselves into living sculptures on the stage. Most surprising of all was when the performers bent over backwards, placing their chins on the floor between their feet.

These feats of balance and flexibility had the audience gasping in disbelief.

Several different balancing acts appeared in the show, the first being a single woman who balanced pyramids of stacked cups on her feet, hands and forehead simultaneously. At the end of the act, she dismantled a stack of the cups, revealing that they had been full of water the entire time.

The next balancing act had a man using a balance board —a flat board placed on a cylinder — to toss ceramic bowls and Continued on PAGE 8

Page 8 • Monday, February 24, 2014

Continued FROM PAGE 7 catch them on top on his head. He did two and three at a time, and then, with a laugh from the audience, tossed a single spoon and caught it in the topmost bowl.

The acrobatic acts involved groups of performers jumping over, under and through things such as hoops, lassos and each other.

The stunts would get more dangerous as the acts continued, adding more people and more dangerous obstacles. An audience member’s hand jumped to her mouth as watched a performer on stage barely make it through a hoop.

The show’s Chinese roots could be seen in a number of different acts, mainly through foot juggling. A group of performers, lying down on their backs, used their feet to juggle balls, spinning cloths and parasols.

The acts intensified, increasing the numbers of juggled items and participants.

The most unique of these acts, however, was one where a single performer juggled a large Chinese urn on her feet, spinning it on its side in a manner that made it look like she was running. After the urn, she juggled a square table, legs and all.

Following the juggling acts was the “diabolo,” or Chinese yo-yo act. The “diabolo” involves a pair of weights held

www.indianastatesman.com

together by an axel, suspended on a string.

Two wooden handles on the ends allow the performer to manipulate the weight, tossing it in the air or swinging it around.

The “diabolo” act featured a group of performers who juggled the weights among them, stacking themselves and tossing the weights high in the air, doing flips and then catching the weights again.

The climax of the show came with the chair act, where a performer stacked six chairs on top of one another. “One more?” he asked the crowd, and many responded with ‘no,’ nervous for his safety.

Taking the top chair, he tilted it over and seated himself, relaxing for a moment as the audience laughed. He tilted the chair another way and, nearly thirty feet off of the ground, did a one-handed handstand.

Though “Cirque Ziva” continues a long tradition of Chinese variety arts, the loud electronic music and neon colors made it a thoroughly modern show.

Hannah Bose, an audience member, said the show had her on the edge of her seat.

“The [performers] train their whole lives,” Bose said. “They start when they’re very young. The kind of dedication that takes … the whole show is really engaging.”

Ann Burchell, an Indiana State alumna, said it was, “one of the most awesome things [she’s] seen” at the university.

The show was “very entertaining, and the skill, and the presentation was just perfect,” she said.

For Jennifer Cook, assistant director of the Hulman Center, the show was the ultimate test of discipline.

“That’s what [the Golden Dragon acrobats] do, and that’s how they [perform] — all that control and that ability to just do the different [stunts] up there,” Cook said. “I think discipline is absolutely [what students can learn from watching “Cirque Ziva”]—whether it be discipline with taking care of your body, or exercise, or balance and concentration.”

Cook said the show was entirely sold out, with many ISU students in attendance. “[I’m] just really glad to have such a great crowd, and have the pre-event activity. It was just a great evening and [I’m] just excited to have everybody here tonight. These people are so talented; it’s just really, really a pleasure to be able to bring them to campus,” Cook said.

The next event in the spring series is “Smokey Joe’s Café,” taking place on March 28 at 7:30 p.m. in Tilson Auditorium.

Forward overcomes first-year ‘struggles’ Conrad Braun Reporter Basketball in Khristian Smith’s eyes means life. Hard work, dedication to the game he loves and striving for excellence are the tools to becoming great, he says.

The sophomore forward’s basketball legacy began at Pike High School in Indianapolis. There, he earned first team all-conference and second team all-county honors in the 2009-2010 season. He was deemed the most valuable player of his team as a senior, averaging 14.2 points per game as well as 6.5 rebounds and hit 57 percent of his shots from the field.

Smith then attended Maine Central Institute for one season, where he said he showed extreme perseverance to continue his basketball career to the next level. He was a member of the NEPSAC Championship Team under coach David Campbell, where he was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

Coming out of High School Smith was committed to play at the University of Cincinnati. Smith said he knew he had more options to play somewhere else potentially. Having multiple schools would enable him to make the best decision possible.

But after visiting Indiana State in the fall of 2010 and talking with Coach Greg Lansing, Smith said being a Sycamore would be the best decision.

“My freshman year was a little bit of struggle at times, getting used to the collegiate level of play,” Smith said. “We have a great coaching staff here at Indiana State, who helped me develop all parts of my game to become a better player. This season my ppg are up from last season, I’m becoming more of a presence on the court this year.”

Coach Lansing wanted Smith to become a part of Indiana State University, and explained to him that this was the best place for him. Meeting some of the other recruits and taking a tour of the campus really sold Smith on attending.

“I liked the campus and it just gave me the feeling like home, I’m glad I made that decision, I play with a great group of guys

and wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Smith said. “It was the hometown feel of being a Sycamore, and it just felt right to come and play for this program.”

As for the team this season, Smith and his teammates all have the goal of winning the Missouri Valley Conference title or receiving an at large big to the NCAA tournament. Everyone wants that 20 win season this year, but getting back to tourney would be huge for the University and the fans.

“I love playing with these guys; we’re ready to finish up these last remaining games before the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in St. Louis. We need to win out the rest of our games to have a chance of reaching the NCAA tournament,” he said. “Getting to 20 wins this season was one of our team goals.

We just have to keeping working hard in practice and take it one game at a time.

Of course we want to get selected to the tournament. We’ll have to see how it plays out.”

Smith’s goals as a Sycamore are to win the ‘sixth man of the year’ in the conference, and help his team off the bench the rest of his tenure at Indiana State. Improving in all aspects of the game is ultimately what he wants to accomplish these next few years.

As a freshman he averaged 5.1 ppg, and his numbers are greatly improving this year. During the 2013-2014 season Smith’s ppg have more than doubled to 11.4.

“Everyone is going to have their struggles on the court. This season I’m becoming more of the player I know that I can be,” he said.

Greek community comes together for heart health JOHN PATRICK GIBBONS Reporter The third annual Alpha Phi dodgeball tournament to support women’s heart health took place Saturday at the North Arena on Indiana State University’s campus.

The tournament is a philanthropy event put on by Alpha Phi in order to help fund research and educational programs for improvements of women’s heart health. As a national chapter, Alpha Phi first had cardiac care as its philanthropy in 1946, and in 1956 the foundation was moved to fully support the cause.

“We have to market and spread awareness through the Greek community and the Indiana State campus,” senior Annah Dalenberg said.

Since November, Alpha Phi has been planning the event by putting up flyers around campus, getting it publicized on WISU, using social media to get the attention of students as well as wearing

red on the first Friday of February to support National Heart Month.

For the first time this year, Alpha Phi also tried to raise awareness by having penny wars among fraternities and sororities where they competed to raise the most money for women’s heart health.

For the tournament, the matchups were a best of three games with the winner moving on to the next round with six players on each team.

All fraternities and sororities were represented, including several from Rose-Hulman.

The sororities played first with Delta Gamma moving past Alpha Sigma Alpha in the semi-finals. Delta Gamma then faced Zeta Tau Alpha, who got past Chi Omega in the semi-finals.

In the championship, Delta Gamma was too much for Zeta Tau Alpha to handle and ended up winning the tournament.

Following the sorority tournament,

the fraternities got started with the matchups. In the semi-finals, Theta Chi came back and beat Tau Kappa Epsilon in game three to move on to the championship where they would play Alpha Tau Omega.

In the championship, Alpha Tau Omega came out on top over a Theta Chi and took home first place.

“I got a lot out of it. I met new people, had an amazing time with friends and had fun for a good cause helping raise heart disease awareness,” sophomore Alpha Tau Omega member Freddy Yanes said.

In the end, all the fun and games were for a good cause as Alpha Phi put all their profits to the philanthropy of raising women’s heart disease awareness.

“Hopefully it gets bigger and bigger each year. Our goal is to see more independent teams in the future,” junior Alpha Phi president Kate Ash said.
