On this episode of Speaking Of...College of Charleston, Julia Heslin, CofC senior majoring in communication, speaks with Jim Allison, executive director of the College's career center and Karen Fritchman, director of employer relations at the career center.  Allison kicks off the conversation by talking about the various offerings at the career center for students of all ages. "In higher education and student development, probably the areas that are most underutilized or areas that would be the most appropriate to emphasize, for soon to be graduates, are to please make sure to have your resume critiqued by someone in the Career Center before you graduate," says Allison. "The hardest thing for an undergraduate student to do is apply for a job after graduation cold." Fritchman shares some of the most common questions students ask when they come to the center. She also talks about the upcoming Spring Career Exploration Fair that is curated for all students, including those just starting to take a peek into what career might fit their passions and interests and those who are graduating and ready to start their careers. The EXPLORATION format will encourage career exploration and discovery, as well as extensive networking options beyond the traditional career fair. The fair will have workshops and programming before and after to effectively prepare students for the fair – like writing a resume, planning professional attire and enhancing communication skills. The event is on Thursday, February 29, 202, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Most Frequently Asked Questions:1. Does my resume have to be one page?2. Do I need a cover letter?3. Where do I start if I have no job experience?Final Words of Career Center Wisdom:"National data has shown for several decades that students who utilize their college career centers have a much higher percentage of securing an internship as well as securing an interview for a full time job."Featured on this Episode:Jim Allison, executive director career center, earned his Bachelor's degree in English from Wake Forest University and a second degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina Greensboro.

Elizabeth Pizzarello was born a sighted child in the Bronx, New York. She grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Cedar Crest College, in Pennsylvania. Just weeks before graduating, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic disorder that contributed to her eventual blindness. After ten years of living blind, in 2012 Elizabeth was the beneficiary of a newly developed lens implant procedure with miraculous results. The surgery took her from a state of complete blindness to the limited use of one eye.  ​The inspiration for writing this memoir came from that moment of profound gratitude when Elizabeth experienced her newly regained sight post surgery. Elizabeth's poem “WOW” was composed during the first month of her sight being restored. The ability to see the incredible world around her again had such a profound impact that she was compelled to write the poem in an attempt to distill the emotional magnitude of her journey. That is why the poem occupies such a prominent position at the beginning of her book. ​This book recounts moments from her story about going from life as a sighted child, through early adulthood, when she first received the devastating diagnosis of the disease that led to the gradual reduction of her sight that ended in blindness. But going blind and being blind are not the same thing, nor is going blind just about learning to live in darkness. It is Elizabeth's desire to explain the psychological complexity of that transition as well as share the incredible twist of fate that enabled her to have a portion of her vision restored a decade later.  ​Elizabeth is working on a collection of children's stories that embody themes of compassion, determination, resilience, and pushing past limiting beliefs based on the lessons she learned from her experience as a disabled individual. 

Elizabeth Pizzarello was born a sighted child in the Bronx, New York. Her unexpected journey started two weeks before her college graduation when doctors told her that she was to be blind by age 40. It happened earlier; Elizabeth was blind by 38. Elizabeth wants share with our audience that even throughout one's academic journey, dreams can be altered by unexpected circumstances. Bad things happen to good people. When doctors told her she was losing her vision and would go blind, it rocked her world. The good news is that the talents and skills one acquires can be used to overcome obstacles. They are never lost. You can change the outcome of your story. One just has to learn to pivot! In episode 393 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what it was like for Elizabeth to grow up in the Bronx, why she chose Cedar Crest College, what was Elizabeth's reaction when she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and she knew should would lose her vision, what her reaction was 10 years later after a lens implant procedure to restore some of her vision, how she made the shift from blindness to a a high tech implant, how you can build confidence after catastrophic loss, what are the misconceptions about blindness, how she cooks and serves meals today, and more about her book called "Eclipsed". Enjoy!

To put it in the most basic terms possible, race is no longer a factor in admissions. At the center of this decision, were two court cases, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, which have changed the direction of admissions in the United States. Advocates across the country have expressed concern about representation and diversity on college campuses and in several fields, such as STEM, in the coming years.Learn more about CITI Program: https://about.citiprogram.org/References: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/applying/articles/how-does-affirmative-action-affect-college-admissions https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-will-the-supreme-courts-affirmative-action-ruling-affect-college-admissions/

Welcome to another episode of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship. I'm your host, Nina Badzin. In episode 38, I spoke to author Diana Spechler about a piece she wrote in her Substack called “How to Make Friends.” It was a refreshing take on making friends when moving to a new city and on friendship "deal breakers."What are your friendship preferences and limitations? Does repeated cancelling get to you? Is a friend who wants to talk several times a week asking for too much? Each of us has different "deal breakers." Outside of a significant breach of trust, there is no right and wrong here--just personal preferences.Show notes are here.MEET DIANA SPECHLERDiana Spechler is the author of the novels Who by Fire and Skinny and of the New York Times Opinion series “Going Off.” She has written for The Guardian, GQ, Washington Post, Esquire, McSweeney's Quarterly Tendency, Electric Literature, Harper's Travel and Leisure, and many other publications.Diana is and eight-time Moth Story Slam winner and has been featured on the Moth Radio Hour, The Moth Podcast, and NPR.

Nursing is an incredibly hard job in the best of times. For the last few years, nurses have been facing significant stress, burnout, and political opposition on top of their normal jobs. These are challenging times for the profession, so we wanted to know if the last couple of years have changed how hospitals and healthcare providers recruit nurses. How have nursing schools adjusted the ways they teach and prepare people for the job? How different is the job now than it was just a couple of years ago? We asked Dr. Wendy Robb, Dean of the School of Nursing at Cedar Crest College in Allentown.

Our subject is ‘You don't know what you don't know – A Disability Services Perspective.' Our guest is Dee Singly. Dee is the Director of Disability Services at Ursinus College. She facilitates accommodations for students under the Americans with Disabilities Act. She has a B.S. in Psychology, from East Stroudsburg University, an M.Ed. in Counseling and Human Services, and a Ph.D., in Special Education from Lehigh University. She has also worked in Disability Services at Cedar Crest College, Moravian College, and Chestnut Hill College.The best disability service supports start with student self-advocacy and self-determination—skills that are often new to first-year students. Dee tells us that “The most important part of connecting a student with what they need in college is that very first conversation [in the disability services office] … This may be the first experience a student has had talking outside of the family about their disability. A student needs to feel comfortable, and this takes practice.”The ratio of students to DSS support staff can vary wildly, but 400:1 is not uncommon. Under these circumstances, self-advocacy is crucial. It starts with self-awareness. When a student knows the answers to the following questions: -       What is my diagnosis?-       How does it impact my life?-       What impacts does my diagnosis have in the classroom?-       What are the impacts from a social perspective?They are more likely to get the support they need.We also discuss decreasing the stigma of asking for help and the differences between support in high school versus college. Accommodations in college are meant to create access whereas in high school, they are focused on success. In college, success is dependent upon the student.

Nutrition misinformation is 'the original fake news.' That's what Melinda Boyd calls it -- the Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition at Cedar Crest College says an alarming amount of the information people find online about diet and nutrition is actually misinformation. So what are the biggest lies people constantly believe about nutrition? Diet shams that won't go away? Super foods that aren't so super? And when should you start wondering if the Instagram influencer you rely on for diet tips might not actually be qualified to give you advice?  Learn more about your ad choices.

On our inaugural show we chat with, Lyndi Wieand, Weis Markets In-Store Registered Dietitian about her role in DSMES. Diet is a significant portion of diabetes management that is unfortunately sometimes overlooked. An article recently published in 2018, Diabetes and Diet: A Patient and Dietitian's Perspective, discusses the challenges that Type 2 Diabetes patients face when trying to lose weight, especially while taking insulin therapy. The dietitian plays a vital role in the management of carbohydrate awareness while concurrently minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia. Because of this, utilizing the dietitian in DSMES classes can have a positive impact on patients' health.  Isabelle Litvak, PharmD & Rachel Hay, PharmD are the new hosts of season 2 of Beyond the Sig for the DSMES Podcast Series powered by the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association. The podcast's goal is to bring awareness to Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support and how individuals like you play a role in educating both patients and health care practitioners. Today we discussed the DSMES classes from the dietitian's perspective. We hear about Lyndi's DSMES successes, challenges, and personal stories overcoming patient barriers during her three-year experience.

On our inaugural show we chat with, Lyndi Wieand, Weis Markets In-Store Registered Dietitian about her role in DSMES. Diet is a significant portion of diabetes management that is unfortunately sometimes overlooked. An article recently published in 2018, Diabetes and Diet: A Patient and Dietitian's Perspective, discusses the challenges that Type 2 Diabetes patients face when trying to lose weight, especially while taking insulin therapy.

[button link="http://baconpodcast.com/dollar-special/"]READ MORE >[/button] Click To Learn More! Karolyn Vreeland Blume was born many years ago in New York City. She started her professional life as a lawyer with a successful general practice including litigation, real estate, divorce, business and estates. As a lawyer, Karolyn encountered many diverse situations involving a wide variety of issues and people. She represented Fortune 500 corporations, mom and pop businesses, and everything in between. She has vast experience navigating the treacherous waters of local, state and federal governments, as well as representing neglected and abused children. She helped spouses separate with integrity while maintaining a stable environment for their children. In her estate business she offered her clients compassion and understanding as well as excellent legal representation. She is empathetic, compassionate and gives of her expertise beyond expectation. After 25 years, she decided there had to be a better way to resolve disputes than beating each other up in a courtroom. For Karolyn, that better way was mediation. She founded Conflict Resolution Services (www.CRSMediation.com), which is a full service mediation, facilitation and arbitration firm. With over 300 hours of training – both receiving and presenting – she has helped hundreds of people and businesses resolve conflicts peacefully and amicably. She handled a wide range of cases in the areas of business matters, divorce, elder issues, family disputes, real estate, medical malpractice and class actions for individuals and businesses. Karolyn is a known and respected international speaker, consultant, coach, facilitator, mentor and teacher, whose presentations are filled with valuable information and engaging humor. She is an expert problem solver and gifted strategist. She served as an adjunct faculty member for Penn State University, Muhlenberg College, and Cedar Crest College. She moderated a live, call-in program for PBS television, and is active in many non-profit and charitable organizations. She is a Founding Member of Mediators Beyond Borders International, and is listed in Who's Who in American Law, and Who's Who of American Women. She is the author of Eat the Elephant: Overcoming Overwhelm. Podcast Transcription Brian Basilico: Welcome, everybody and I got a question for you; I can totally relate to this: are you overwhelmed? I get overwhelmed a lot because there are so many things going on between podcast, and emails, and videos, and courses and all these other stuff and I get crazily overwhelmed, but I got an expert that's going to help us bring us back to a moment of the zen. Karolyn Blume, how are you doing today? Karolyn Blume: Good, Brian. How are you? Brian: I'm doing awesome. When I first read your bio and your book, I looked at it and I said, “Oh, she's into law and meditation. No wonder why she could bring us back to a moment of zen.” But I got that wrong, didn't I? Karolyn: Yes, it's law and mediation and there's a very little zen about the law. Brian: Amen for that. So, how did you go from a lawyer and doing mediation to writing a book about “eating elephants?” » Expand To View More - Click Here Karolyn: Well, I guess I'm kind of a slow learner and it took me 25 years to realize that practicing law and litigating was no way to resolve disputes. Bashing each other around the courtroom and being antagonistic and hostile all the time is just not a good way to live. So, that lead me to mediation, which is a much more sane way to resolve disputes. You sit down, you can control your destiny, control the outcome, you're not depended upon people that you don't even k...

Editor's Note: Due to technical issues with WOBC's radio transmitter, the recording of this show has significantly decreased audio quality. We have done as much as possible to repair the damage, and we apologize for the issues. On May 30, 2017, Carmen Twillie Ambar was named as the 15th President of Oberlin College by the Board of Trustees, and is the first Black woman to hold the position in the College's history. After settling into the job, she announced that under her leadership, the College would begin an Academic and Administrative Program Review (AAPR), a sweeping audit of all college offices, programs, and departments. Under AAPR, a steering committee of faculty, staff, and students will conduct research and analysis from now until next spring, subsequently making recommendations to the board. In her previous role as President of Cedar Crest College, Ambar initiated a similar process. But is that a good thing? Many faculty members don't think so. At Cedar Crest, AAPR resulted in the proposed elimination of five majors; sustained lobbying efforts by students and faculty only saved two of them. What's more, the process was opaque, deceptive, and at times disturbing. No notes were taken of steering committee meetings, leaving no record of how and why certain decisions were made; a faculty member was fired after being told in writing that they would not, leading to a lawsuit against Cedar Crest; and Ambar's chosen consulting firm, Stevens Strategy, made fraudulent claims in a presentation to the Cedar Crest board and engaged in a practice of ranking majors by their financial value. Should we be worried? (Daniel is very worried.) We'll ask President Ambar about that, and also find out why she thinks Oberlin is the best college in the country. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-weekly/support

She has developed several groundbreaking presentations on the relationship between women and money.

Viewing divorce, retirement, and widowhood not as a time of withdrawal and fear, but gearing up for new challenges and rewards, Lynn helps women prepare financially — and emotionally — for these significant transitions. Lynn earned her BA from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She’s held the CFP® mark of distinction for more than 25 years. Lynn is active in her community and has held leadership positions in a variety of civic organizations including the Women’s Resource Center of Scranton, which she co-founded, Maternal and Family Health Services, charter member of the NE PA Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Cedar Crest College’s Alumnae Association, and the President’s Advisory Board of Keystone College, Factoryville, Pennsylvania. Lynn and her husband, Patrick, enjoy spending family time with their son, Tyler, and boating on Lake Wallenpaupack in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains.
