In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Abashek Bhati, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Bowling Green State University, to dive deep into the ever-buzzing world of social media fundraising. Spoiler alert, it's not just about asking for money. Drawing on fresh research, Dr. Bhati reveals that nonprofits who blend a variety of six message types (instead of hammering the “donate now” button nonstop) can boost their fundraising results by a whopping 96%. That's nearly doubling your impact just by mixing up your posts. So, what are these six magical message types? Beneficiary stories, mission-focused content, engagement asks, expressions of gratitude, goal attainment updates, and fundraising ask. While asking remains the most frequent (and necessary) message, Dr. Bhati's research shows that over-reliance on it can lead to donor fatigue faster than you can say “algorithm change.” It turns out donors want to feel part of a story, not just a transaction. The conversation gets even juicier when Bill and Dr. Bhati dig into the science behind why these message types matter. Want more donations? Try publicly thanking donors (which can lift giving by 59%). Need to hit that campaign goal? Posts showing you're just $50 short create FOMO that can spike donations by 79%. It's all about creating that “whirlpool effect” of engagement, where your message spreads further and deeper. They wrap with practical tips for fundraisers of all organizational sizes. Don't have a massive marketing team? No problem. Start by planning posts ahead, use scheduling tools, and lean on your board, volunteers, and existing supporters to build your social media presence. Because as Dr. Bhati reminds us, social media fundraising isn't a magic bullet, it's a strategic dance. And when you choreograph your messages well, donors don't just listen, they leap in.

Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artists Francisco and Fredy Gabuardy, Consuelo Cruz Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement Belger Arts, artists Tyler Suter and Hannah Schelb. FRANCISCO and FREDY GABUARDY- Kansas City-based media artists Francisco Gabuardy and Fredy Gabuardy are identical twins, but their styles are not hard to differentiate. Francisco explores a collection of personally meaningful symbols like spikes and pie graphs, while Fredy is a builder and often includes sculptural elements in his work. Cadejo, their first collaborative exhibition, was four years in the making. It showcases 10 pieces, eight highlighting the push and pull of their unique styles and shared Nicaraguan origins, and two representing their own studio practices. Cadejo refers to a mythical, dog-shaped spirit they grew up hearing stories about. In Central American folklore, it represents "good" and "evil," light and dark. It can protect and attack, lead away from harm or toward danger. They were inspired by the dual nature of cadejo, reflected in their complementary or perhaps, at times, seemingly contradictory styles and approaches. The works, in turn, reflect their relationship as twins, mirroring each other at various points in life and art. For the Gabuardys, the key aspect of cadejo is its mysterious ability to lead. But whether to safety or peril, the artists must keep moving forward. The brothers created the works using a series of self-imposed "rules," game play, and improvisational techniques. Each collaborative effort involved new negotiations and strategies with every action and counteraction. How much space does one occupy? Who gets to enter the conversation, and when? The results are both uncanny collisions and gentlemanly covenants in mixed media, expressing twin communication that goes beyond words. The works are exercises in trust and intention. In this series of collaborations, the artists demonstrate a tenacious investment of energy and time, and an expansive curiosity around process, material, and formalism. The works are packed with personally meaningful symbols, exuding cryptic beauty in their unexpected compositions. The artists invite viewers to approach the works with an open mind, reminding us that these abstractions hold infinite interpretations. They see the pieces as stanzas, sentences, or small thoughts that can serve as starting points for the viewer's own narrative. Artists talk can be viewed here, Unraveling ‘Cadejo: A Twins' Journey - YouTube www.fredygabuardy.com www.franciscogabuardy.com Kansas City Public Library Central Library 14 W. 10th St. KCMO Guldner Gallery now through September 20 CONSUELO CRUZ, Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement Belger Arts Belger Arts Residency Programs, Hannah Schelb, Ceramics Artist in Residence, Tyler Suter, Glass Artist in Residence Belger Crane Yard Studios continues to host national and international artists through its Residency program. A residency provides ceramic artists with the opportunity to expand their body of work or create a special project that may be outside the scope of their routine studio practice. The residency program gives driven, self-directed artists opportunities for rigorous professional development and enhanced self-sufficiency practices. Within the studio community, resident artists engage in constructive dialogue and immerse themselves in their work. Residents foster the development of the studio's creative environment and create outreach opportunities within the local community. Outreach opportunities include teaching classes or workshops, giving public presentations, and critiques. Through community involvement, residents create educational opportunities for the appreciation and critical understanding of ceramics, thus employing and evolving Belger Crane Yard Studios as an innovative, artistic resource. Hannah Schelb, Ceramics Artist in Residence: Hannah Schelb started working in ceramics in 2009 while attending Augusta State University. After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2012, she started a studio practice and eventually moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she worked in glaze production and taught community classes. In 2016 and 2017, Schelb attended summer residencies at Chautauqua School of Visual Arts in Chautauqua, New York, while teaching after-school programs in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the school year. She was accepted into the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2019 and graduated with a Master of Arts and Fine Arts in May 2021. She was the director of ceramics for the summers of 2020 and 2021 at a summer camp in Harrison, Maine. Schelb became a lecturer for the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022-2024 and started showing work at several prominent galleries. Schelb recently completed her 2024-25 residency term at the Belger Crane Yard Studios and is returning for her second term. The Glass Residency is open to emerging glass artists looking to further their artistic and professional careers and gain experience teaching and working with the public. This residency is ideal for artists looking to develop a body of work, who thrive in a shared, communal space, and are preparing for the next step in their professional pursuits. Resident artists advance their art practice in a spacious state-of-the-art facility equipped for glassblowing, kiln forming, sandblasting, and coldworking. Work alongside nationally recognized artists throughout the year and help develop and inspire beginner glassblowers. Resident artists teach a class of their own design, plan and lead public glassblowing demonstrations, and engage with the public during hands-on glassblowing experiences. Tyler Suter, Glass Artist in Residence: Tyler Suter is a St. Louis-based studio artist who, since an early age, has had a profound love for the natural world. Working primarily with glass, his current body of work explores the repetition of form and pattern that can be found throughout nature, from micro to macroscopic. Developing this body of work involves exploring various glassworking techniques and incorporating ceramic components. Tyler received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in ceramics from Bowling Green State University. He has had work featured in numerous group exhibitions, including Bravo! BGSU: A Celebration of the Arts (2018). He has also conducted public demonstrations and private classes, sharing his passion for glass with the community. Tyler recently began an artist residency at the Belger Glass Annex in the inaugural year of the residency program. Since 2000, the Belger Arts Center has encouraged viewers to explore, question, and deepen their understanding of art and of the world around them. Drawing upon the extensive Belger Collection as well as a rich variety of local, national, and international artists, the Belger Arts Center has staged over 100 large-scale exhibitions that represent some of the best in contemporary art. Belger Crane Yard Studios is a ceramics studio, education center, and gallery space located in downtown Kansas City's Crossroads district. Learn new techniques or master old ones with wheel throwing, handbuilding, and special topic classes, for beginners to professional potters. Our world-renowned Artist-in-Residence program has made Belger a center for contemporary ceramic art, fostering artists to explore their craft. The adjoining Belger Crane Yard Gallery hosts exhibitions featuring world-class glass, ceramics, and multimedia artists. The Belger Glass Annex is the third Belger Arts location and opened to the public in October 2021. It is the first public glass blowing studio in Kansas City of its scale and scope. The facility boasts state-of-the-art glass blowing equipment and tools, a furnace that holds 300 pounds of molten glass, and three workstations. The Belger Glass Annex is a Midwest hub for glass art, education, and appreciation, strengthening Kansas City's reputation as an arts destination. www.belgerarts.org Belger Arts Center 2100 Walnut Street Kansas City, MO 64108 816 - 474 – 7316 gallery@belgerarts.org Belger Crane Yard 2011 Tracy Avenue Kansas City, MO 64108 Events • October 3, First Friday: Opening of Put a Lid on It exhibition (lidded vessel invitational) and Fall-Focused Glass Demo with Glass Pumpkin Sales • Eight resident artists have arrived: (https://belgerarts.org/air) Four new ceramics residents + two returning ceramics residents + two residents for our NEW Glass Residency(https://belgerarts.org/glass-residency-programs)! • November 7, First Friday: Opening of Holidays at Belger Crane Yard Gallery • November 21 and 22 Holiday Sale at Belger Crane Yard Studios • We also kicked off Saturday Socials in our ceramics studio—like Date Night but without the pressure of having to bring a date.

At the Glass Art Society's (GAS) 2025 conference, Trailblazing New Traditions, held in May in Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas, Zachary Layhew and Hoseok Youn presented a unique collaborative glassblowing demonstration where Youn's Venetian fantasy vessels intersected with the baroque, cubist influences of Layhew's practice. The artists shared their unique approaches to traditional techniques and designs, both makers transforming the context of tradition through the lens of their original personalities. The result was a figurative sculpture constructed from historical goblets and decorative stemware, combined with the line patterns of cane. Goblets and cane are common and popular in the glass tradition, but this demonstration showed the community a creative and innovative way to elevate those methods to new frontiers while paying respect to their origins. Layhew started his glass career at the age of 14 by taking an introductory intensive at the Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) called Teen Bootcamp. He quickly fell in love with the material and the community surrounding it. Through the years, the artist has focused on his technical skills in glass and developing his personal voice through sculpture. His work revolves around a combination of glassblowing, cold working, and then further reheating, manipulating, and assembling the pieces.  Working as an artist and instructor at PGC, Layhew assists other Pittsburgh artists in his spare time. He will teach Lines, Rings, and Patterned Things at Foci, the Minnesota Center for Glass Arts, from November 12 through 16. In December, the artist has a residency at Keystone College, Factoryville, Pennsylvania, and through the rest of 2025 and 2026, he will teach eight-week classes at PGC. Additionally, Layhew creates production work that is sold online and in person.  A South Korean glass artist specializing in glassblowing, Youn holds a BFA degree in glass and ceramics from Namseoul University, Cheon Ahn, Korea, and earned an MFA in glass from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois. He has taught at Bowling Green State University as an adjunct professor, was a studio artist at Toledo Museum of Art and a studio lead at Belger Arts in Kansas City, Missouri.  Youn's artistic practice focuses on Venetian traditional glass, figurative sculptures, and photography. He is inspired by heroes and villains based on pop culture and toys. His work reflects the image of his ideal successful self, combining crystal clear glass, elaborate vessel forms, intricate stemware, and abundant details. In 2026, he will teach a workshop at Pilchuck Glass School, session 7.

Send us a textLogan Bell's story begins not in a town, but in a village—a one-square-mile dot on the map called Lisbon, Ohio. It's here where his baseball journey took root, nurtured by parents who somehow balanced demanding work schedules with never missing a game. When most people ask where Lisbon is located, he simply references Youngstown, a familiar landmark that anchors his small-town origins in something recognizable.The rhythm of Logan's early life followed the seasons of sports—football in fall, basketball in winter, and baseball dominating the summers. But what stands out in our conversation isn't just the athletic achievements, but the deliberate efforts to maintain normalcy amid the demands of competition. From wing nights after practice to street hockey games with friends, these moments provided crucial balance and kept the pressures of performance in perspective.His college baseball path reflects both perseverance and adaptability. Starting at Akron as a 17-year-old freshman surrounded by junior college transfers in their twenties forced early maturity. After partially tearing his UCL, Logan found his way to Bowling Green State University, reuniting with a coach who had first recruited him years earlier—a relationship that proved pivotal in his development both on and off the field. Now training in Florida while completing his master's degree, he's pursuing professional opportunities with an unwavering "no Plan B" mindset.Throughout our discussion, Logan offers thoughtful perspectives on the changing landscape of college athletics, MLB economics, and the unique challenges faced by small-market teams. But most memorable is his closing message about pursuing dreams without apology: "If you have this idea of what you want to do and what you want to be, don't let anybody tell you that you can't be it." With supportive parents, loyal friends, and grounding faith, Logan demonstrates that sometimes the journey itself matters more than the destinSubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDeemed FitBe a part of our movement to instill confidence motivation and a willingness to keep pushing forwardBuddy's Beard CareBuddy's Beard Care provides premium men's grooming products at an affordable price.Sweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

In this episode we challenge the ideas about invisibility of Asian Americans in the urban Midwest by discussing Rebecca Jo Kinney's Mapping AsiaTown Cleveland: Race and Redevelopment in the Rust Belt (Temple University Press, 2025). Mapping AsiaTown Cleveland links the contemporary development of Cleveland's “AsiaTown” to the multiple and fragmented histories of Cleveland's Asian American communities from the 1940s to present. Kinney's sharp insights include Japanese Americans who resettled from internment camps, Chinese Americans food purveyors, and Asian American community leaders who have had to fight for visibility and representation in city planning—even as the Cleveland Asian Festival is branded as a marquee “diversity” event for the city. Importantly, this book contributes to a growing field of Asian American studies in the U.S. Midwest by foregrounding the importance of region in racial formation and redevelopment as it traces the history of racial segregation and neighborhood diversity in Cleveland during the 20th and 21st centuries. Rebecca Jo Kinney is a Fulbright Scholar and an interdisciplinary teacher and scholar of American Studies and Ethnic Studies at Bowling Green State University, Ohio, USA. Dr. Kinney's award-winning first book, Beautiful Wasteland: The Rise of Detroit as America's Postindustrial Frontier argues that contemporary stories told about Detroit's potential for rise enables the erasure of white supremacist systems. Her third book, Making Home in Korea: The Transnational Lives of Adult Korean Adoptees, is based on research undertaken while she was a Fulbright Scholar in South Korea. Her research has appeared in American Quarterly, Food, Culture & Society, Verge: Studies in Global Asia, Radical History Review, Race&Class, among other journals.

NASA tells In Touch about a condition that affects the vision of around 70% of their astronauts. It is called SANS and although the space agency aren't currently seeing hugely negative affects to their astronaut's vision upon returning to Earth, they are concerned about what could happen once we begin longer-term space exploration, with this being considered a 'red risk' of reaching Mars. Dr Sheri Wells-Jensen is a huge space enthusiast and within her role as a Linguistics professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, her focus is on welcoming disability as necessary part of future space exploration and potential occupation.

Bill Williams, our esteemed guest, recounts a remarkable journey that spans multiple careers, from his early days in a military family to his current role as a registered investment advisor. His formative years, characterized by transient schooling, laid a foundation that ultimately led him to earn both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Broadcasting and Journalism from Texas Tech University. Following a tenure in educational television and communications consultancy, he transitioned into financial advisement, where he continues to make impactful contributions. Throughout our dialogue, Bill emphasizes the importance of resilience, encapsulated in his favorite piece of advice: “Never give up.” This episode not only highlights his professional evolution but also serves as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance and the value of nurturing connections in varied fields.In this enlightening discourse, Bill Williams, a veteran in the field of communications, shares his remarkable life journey that spans numerous roles and experiences.

For many mental health professionals, exploration into a client's relationship with spirituality is often left out or actively avoided.  Could honest and open discussions about a client's spiritual perspective help them reconnect to themselves and others while also alleviating their symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression? On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth is honored to welcome Harvard psychologist, author, and educator David Rosmarin, PhD., to explore the connection between spirituality and mental health, modern psychology's aversion to the topic, and the ancient Jewish wisdom behind the connections paradigm.  About David Rosmarin: Dr. David H. Rosmarin is the director of the Spirituality and Mental Health Program at McLean Hospital and an associate professor of psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He earned his PhD in clinical psychology from Bowling Green State University, completed a predoctoral internship, and then pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital. Dr. Rosmarin studies the relevance of spirituality to mental health, and he innovates methods for clinicians to address this area of life. He has published over a hundred manuscripts, editorials, and chapters and served as co-editor of the Handbook of Spirituality, Religion, and Mental Health. Dr. Rosmarin's work is regularly featured by the media and has appeared on CNN, NPR, Scientific American, the Boston Globe, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.

Diana Ivanikhina – From Orphan to International Athlete and MissionaryDiana Ivanikhina is an international student, a tennis superstar, and a young woman whose journey from adversity to hope is a testament to God's faithfulness.After her father abandoned the family and her mother faced financial difficulties before suddenly passing away, Diana and her brother were placed in a Christian children's home in Tajikistan. There, Diana encountered the love of Jesus and began placing her trust in Him. While adjusting to her new reality, she poured herself into academics, Bible studies, and a newfound passion for tennis.Without access to a professional coach, Diana turned to YouTube for guidance. What started as a self-taught summer hobby soon became an intense, six-hour daily training regimen. Her dedication led her to compete for the Tajikistan Tennis Federation, play internationally, and even coach other children.Diana's story took another extraordinary turn when she met American businessman and fellow believer David McKee. Touched by her perseverance and passion for both tennis and spreading the Gospel, McKee helped Diana pursue her dream of studying in the United States. Despite numerous hurdles, his sacrificial support enabled her to receive a tennis scholarship from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. However, God's plan for Diana's journey was not complete.Through connections made at First Baptist Church in Bowling Green after a snowy four-mile walk on her first Sunday in the U.S., Diana found her way to Cedarville University, where her love for tennis, her love for worship, and her desire to become a career missionary have perfectly aligned.This is a powerful story of faith, perseverance, and the ways God blesses those who trust in Him, even in the face of overwhelming challenges.https://share.transistor.fm/s/72856593https://youtu.be/cBVYN0BKKEg
