Initiated by a phone call from someone posing as Amazon, the scam led to convincing the victim to purchase gold and transfer significant sums of money. Parth Patel, a 27-year-old from Ontario, Canada, was arrested and charged in connection to the scam. The main suspects are believed to reside in India and the U.K., with Patel considered a lower level "associate." Despite the collaborative efforts of law enforcement, the victim's lost money has not been recovered. Cherokee detectives worked with the FBI and Homeland Security in the investigation and urge citizens to remain vigilant against such scams, providing tips to avoid falling victim in the future. STORY 2: Cherokee Schools Students Excel at National and Regional Winter Guard Competitions The Cherokee County School District's winter guard teams have demonstrated outstanding performance at both national and regional competitions. The Creekview High School varsity team notably advanced to the top 20 championship finals at the WGI World Championships, marking a historic first for the program and the district. Additionally, at the Southern Association for Performance Arts Championships, CCSD teams excelled, with five teams placing in the top 10.

Georgia's Charlie Condon is distinguishing himself as the leading contender for the No. 1 pick in the MLB draft, following his latest triumphs, including breaking Georgia's all-time home run record.

Alice Lloyd: A serious woman In 1951 the Southern Association of Colleges, an accrediting agency, sent a committee to assess a small two-year institution in the mountains of eastern Kentucky named Caney Creek College. Their final report makes for interesting reading, which you can't always say about accreditation reports. “This institution charges no tuition,” they reported. “...The understanding is that students will offer to work in the mountain area, and 90% have done so. There are amazing examples of outstanding service…The President is aged and crippled but otherwise alert, diligent, and confident. She works seven days a week…The fact is, this committees has never seen an institution like this. One must visit to understand and to be able to interpret.” The President was Alice Lloyd, and she was also the founder of the college–as well as a network of charitable organizations. After her death, the college was renamed in her honor. Allison Holbrook Southard is Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Alice Lloyd College. She's with us today to talk about this unique institution, explain what “institutional advancement” is, and the unique challenges that all college advancement officers face, as well as those specific to Alice Lloyd.

In this episode Lisa and Megan discuss:Navigating the AP exams from sign-up through the exam season. The myth of the magic number of AP courses to take in high school. If your student should risk getting a B in a harder course of interest in instead of playing it safe with only A classes when choosing your high school courses. Deciding whether you want to take the AP e exam and which scores to report to colleges. Key Takeaways: As early as 8th grade, be aware of what AP classes your high school offers. The course offerings and policies not only vary regionally but also between high schools even within the same district. The student is only held responsible for pursuing the rigor that is available to them. If the AP classes are not available to you, it is not a big deal and colleges won't look negatively on that.Choose the AP courses that will assist your teen in their future career and college major. Do not take every single class available. Of those you do take, you do not have to take the exam for every course. Speak to the teacher and  the school counselor. AP courses are college-level courses but also vary in difficulty. Some students may be ready for an AP course during freshman year, others may not be until later.  “Do not let the fear of the AP exam stop you from taking a rigorous class.” – Megan RoseAbout Megan Rose: I moved to Florida in November of 2019 from New Jersey, where I was a social studies teacher for 15 years and a school counselor for three at one of the top public high schools in the state. As a school counselor, I assisted hundreds of families with the college application process. From the search for a student's "dream school” to finalizing their enrollment, I have dealt with all the paperwork in between and take pride in streamlining the application process for both students and parents. I am a fully licensed school counselor and a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, National Association for College Admission Counseling & the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling. With a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education from the University of Maryland and a Masters of Science in Educational Counseling from Monmouth University, I recognize the lifelong benefits that choosing the right school provides.Episode References:College and Career Clarity Episode #054 High School Course Selection with Julie Spak Take Lisa's free quiz “Is your teen ready for coaching?” here- https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/608984a7a898980017089b21/q/1Connect with Megan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegesolutionswindermere/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeSolutionsWindermere/ Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-h-rose/ Connect with Lisa: Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingco Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-marker-robbins/

This is Living Stories, featuring voices from the collections of the Baylor University Institute for Oral History. I'm Kim Patterson. Dr. Stanley E. Rutland served as president of Paul Quinn College from 1969 through 1976. Under his leadership the college enjoyed many improvements, among them accreditation for the first time with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1972. Dr. Norman G. Ashford describes the climate of Paul Quinn in 1971, when he came on board as a biology professor: "I remember well one time where we had a meeting in the evening where we were going over the accreditation procedures and the required reports, et cetera. Well, we started meeting, I believe it was at seven o'clock in the evening, and that meeting lasted till two o'clock in the morning. So it gives you an idea of the events taking place." Dr. Rowena Keatts explains she was working as a cataloger in the Paul Quinn library when Rutland enlisted her help in getting the college accredited: "He walked down there and walked in that back door and says, ‘Mrs. Keatts, I am making you head librarian. I've checked your transcript, and what I want you to do is go back'—I didn't have my master's degree then. I think I lacked nine hours of having it. He said, ‘I'm making you head librarian here.' And I said, ‘No, you didn't either.' I got my things and went home. "When I got home my husband said to me, said, ‘What are you doing? What have you been doing all day?' And I said, ‘Shoot. I've had twenty-five years of teaching. That man come telling me he's making me head librarian, and I'm not going to do it.' He didn't say a word. But he looked at me, and he continued—we were having dinner—and he said, ‘Well, can you do it?' I said, ‘Yes, I can do it, but I'm not going to. I'm going to sit down and draw my teacher's retirement when I get older.' He said, ‘I believe if I were you, and those old people paid ten cents a brick to build some of those buildings there when they were built, and you can do just that little bitty thing, and you don't want to do it? I believe if I were you, I believe I'd go do it.' I didn't do a thing but get all my things, put them back in my car and brought them—come back over to Paul Quinn and sit down." Although reluctant at first, Keatts took over the task at hand with gusto: "When the team came in they had no problem whatever with the library. That library was in tip-top shape. " Interviewer: "I see." "But I tell you, Dr. Rutland was a man that if you would work with him—he was a learned man. I dare say he is one of the best presidents I've ever seen because he went to each department to find out what was needed, what was lacking. And if they had to have money, he went somewhere and got it. The people here in Waco didn't like him too much because—at first, because they said he stayed on the plane too much going places. But when he went someplace, went those places, he brought something back with him." Interviewer: "I see." "And he was able to see and he knew how to meet the needs of Paul Quinn College. And he did it." Paul Quinn College left Waco in 1990 and moved into the former Bishop College campus in Dallas. In 2009, SACS revoked Paul Quinn's accreditation, but two years later the college attained membership with another accrediting agency, Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

This is our first Redux of 2023 and because Monday the 16th is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we are looking back at a favorite past Mississippi Moments episode: MSM 601 Father Peter Quinn - Dr. King Comes to Hattiesburg, which aired originally on January 28, 2019. For the interview, we are joined by Dr. Rebecca Tuuri, an associate professor of history at the USM with expertise in Civil Rights, African American, and Women's and Gender history. She is co-director for the Center for the Study of the Gulf South and a member of the Center for Black Studies at USM. She also serves on the boards of the Gulf South Historical Association, the Mississippi Historical Society, and is the Mississippi State Scholar for the Smithsonian exhibition Voices and Votes. Her 2018 book Strategic Sisterhood: The National Council of Negro Women in the Black Freedom Struggle won the 2019 prize for best book in Southern women's history from the Southern Association of Women Historians. Father Peter, O. Quinn moved from his home in Ireland to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in September of 1962, shortly after being ordained into the priesthood at the age of twenty-five. His first assignment was at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and then he became the priest at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, which was an all-black church in Hattiesburg. Father Quinn was very much involved with the youth groups including the Youth NAACP and the Catholic Youth Organization, advising and sponsoring the young people on weekly dances, ball games, and fund-raising. But also in promoting the advancement of Civil Rights by organizing boycotts, protests and picketing of whites-only businesses and facilities. Quinn gives a hair-raising account of being shot at as two truck-loads of men attempted to run him off the road as he returned from a meeting at Vernon Dahmer's house. When Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Hattiesburg in 1968, ten days before his death, he took a nap in Father Quinn's parsonage before continuing on his journey.   PHOTO: Associated Press

In the conclusion of this two-part series, Dr. Drumm McNaughton and Dr. Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges Commission on Colleges, discuss the tsunami of issues facing higher ed and accreditation today, including several hot-button issues, how she responds to criticisms of accreditation, recent SACSCOC standards, and what's ahead for accreditation.   Podcast Highlights Student learning outcomes continue to be “a big deal.” The desire for micro-credentialing by sources outside accredited colleges and universities is stronger than ever, and how—and even if—to proceed is still up in the air. In its current mid-cycle, SACSCOC is focusing on reviewing existing standards, shared governance, and DEI matters, and these will probably continue to be focus areas in coming years.   To read the full show notes, visit: https://changinghighered.com/an-assessment-of-higher-ed-accreditation-and-sacscoc-part-2 #HigherEdAccreditation #HigherEducation #SACSCOC   Resources   Host Dr. Drumm McNaughton is a Higher Education Consultant.

In the first of this two-part interview, Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), about the tsunami of issues facing higher ed and accreditation today, including three recent examples of undue political influence on governing boards.   Podcast Highlights The current misunderstanding of accreditation likely stems from the larger issue of the overall decline of public support for higher ed in general. Governing boards—for both public and private institutions—have become increasingly politicized, but there are ways for presidents to address this. Recent case studies from Kentucky, South Carolina, and Florida underscore the negative impacts of undue political influence in higher ed.   To read the full show notes, visit https://changinghighered.com/president-of-sacscoc-higher-ed-accreditation #HigherEducation #HigherEdAccreditation #HigherEducationGovernance Resources Dr. Drumm McNaughton, Higher Education Board Governance expert.

The program recently received approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. This continuous five-semester program is 100% online, with the first cohort beginning in the fall of 2023. The MSN in Nursing Education prepares students for careers at colleges, universities, vocational-technical schools and hospital educational departments. Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the Certified Nurse Educator, Novice Nurse Educator and Academic Clinical Nurse Educator exams. The curriculum also supports the foundational knowledge needed to pursue a terminal nursing degree. Applicants for Reinhardt's MSN program must have completed a bachelor of science in nursing from an Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing or Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited and state-approved nursing program. Applicants must also hold a current unencumbered Georgia or compact state registered nurse license at the time of the application deadline.   Reinhardt running back Devyn Collins was named the Appalachian Athletic Conference's Offensive Player of the Week following the Eagles' 40-0 win over Union to close the regular season. Collins ran for 214 yards and four touchdowns in the dominant win that helped Reinhardt (8-1, 5-0) earn the AAC's automatic bid to the NAIA playoffs. He averaged 9.7 yards per carry to secure his second weekly award of the season. As the AAC's leading rusher this season, the junior from Rome averaged 106.8 yards per game, along with a conference-best 17 touchdowns. Collins finished the Eagles' regular season on a high note, accounting for the first four scores against Union. He opened the floodgates with a 25-yard run on the Eagles' second drive of the game and followed with a 19-yard run with two minutes left in the first quarter. Collins' most explosive play came in the third quarter, a 61-yard touchdown run. Reinhardt will open the NAIA tournament on the road today, facing former Mid-South Conference rival Lindsey Wilson.   On Thanksgiving Day, thousands of meals will be sent out for delivery or picked up to be enjoyed by families in Cherokee and Pickens counties who otherwise wouldn't have a meal for the holiday. Cherokee Thanksgiving is in its 30th year feeding local families this year, said Cheryl Mosley, the coordinator of the event. What began with a small group at Canton First United Methodist Church has grown to a nonprofit organization with over 200 volunteers. The group expects to serve about 2,400 meals this year, Mosley said. The meals are for anyone — those who cannot make or buy their own meals, and first responders like police and firefighters who have to work on Thanksgiving. People can have their meals delivered or they can order a meal to pick up and take home. This year's event was planned to be organized from Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q in Canton, which has helped provide food in the past, but plans had to change quickly after a fire shut down the restaurant earlier this month. The couple connected the nonprofit with another local restaurant, La Catrina Tacos and Margaritas in Canton, where staff are now also helping prepare food to continue the tradition. This year's Cherokee Thanksgiving meal is chicken, rice, green beans, dressing and gravy, a roll and a sugar cookie.   #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/                   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we're talking with Debra Wilson, President of the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS). Debra is here to talk with us about trends in headships for women, the challenges women still face when ascending into leadership, and how to gain experience and confidence to take on your next leadership role.

When the news broke in 2010 of an academic scandal on the campus of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, at first involving members of the football team, few knew that the issue would eventually expand to include more than 3100 students and student-athletes taking 200 “paper courses" offered by the African and Afro-American Studies Department. Among many other outcomes, UNC Chapel Hill was put on probation by the regional accreditation association, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Carolina was restored to full accreditation by the SACSCOC the following year, and later, the NCAA decided not to hold the institution in violation of their rules. In fall 2013, UNC-Chapel Hill was under new leadership, including a new Chancellor, new Provost, and new Athletic Director. They needed a clear and comprehensive understanding of the academic life cycle for student-athletes in order to move forward. Former Provost James W. Dean, Jr. and Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham convened a 10-person team of campus leaders to do something that we believe no other university had done before: comprehensively document and assess all academic processes that affect student-athletes from the time that they are recruited until after they graduate. With Chancellor Carol L. Folt's direction and support, Dean and Cunningham led the Student-Athlete Academic Initiative Working Group in this effort, acknowledging that Carolina needed to make changes to address these issues, restore trust, and promote academic integrity. Most institutions sweep high-profile athletics scandals under the rug. UNC instead chose to build a culture of continuous improvement, where everyone on campus plays a coordinated role in student-athletes' success. Today's conversation goes behind the scenes with one of the key leaders in this effort, which still continues today. Dr. Debbi Clarke led the Working Group out of the Provost's Office for more than nine years. Debbi takes us behind the scenes of a leadership puzzle – does change begin at the top with new leadership? Or from the bottom up, led by faculty and other key voices on campus? At UNC, it's been both. They continue to address the issues they faced in a way that has drawn interest from university leaders across the country. As Clarke says "You're building a new culture. It's a really hard thing to do. We recognized what went wrong, and how it went wrong, and said, ‘This is what we're going to do to fix it." It's a remarkable transition.

Episode 482. Part 2 of our interview with Ted Schirmer about his memoir, Defiance. In the '70s, even twenty years after Brown v. Board of Education, LSU was still refusing to give up its racist past. While most students attending LSU were primarily focused on obtaining a better life through getting a college degree, some could not turn their backs on injustice. The students who fought at Ted's side were not the wealthy fraternity or sorority members. They were from middle to lower-middle class families and the working poor. It was Ted's goal in writing this book to honor their sacrifices and tell what it was like to fight the system-the LSU administrators, the Board of Supervisors, and the Greek organizations-in the deep south in the turbulent '70s.

Berwind,” North Carolina Historical Review, (January 2014). An HBCU advocate, his book, New Life for Historically Black Colleges and Universities seeks to identify the challenges that Black Colleges face, explore the historic origin of Black college management systems, and identify models of success that will improve the long-term viability of HBCUs.

There are a few moments in the life of a university where an event overtakes the local and national narrative about who and what your campus represents. When the news broke in 2010 of an academic scandal on the campus of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill involving the football team, few knew that the issue would eventually expand to include over 3100 students and student-athletes taking 200 classes offered by the African and Afro-American Studies Department. Among many other outcomes, UNC Chapel Hill was put on probation by the regional accreditation association, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Several years later, both the NCAA and the SACS deferred on whether to hold the institution in violation of their bylaws. My guest today is Holden Thorp. He was the 10th Chancellor at UNC-Chapel Hill from 2008-2013. Currently, he is the Editor-in-Chief of the Science family of journals since 2019. He came to Science from Washington University, where he was provost from 2013 to 2019, and where he is Rita Levi-Montalcini Distinguished University Professor and holds appointments in both chemistry and medicine. He is a venture partner at Hatteras Venture Partners, a consultant to Ancora, and is on the board of directors of PBS, the College Advising Corps, and Artizan Biosciences. He talks frankly about what presidents and trustees should know about college athletics. It's an eye opening conversation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karen-weaver/message

Wednesday on Political Rewind: The governing body behind Georgia's public universities and colleges is on the search for a new chancellor. But appointed members of the Board of Regents are facing criticism after former Gov. Sonny Perdue was reported to be among the final candidates for the role. A college accrediting agency warned the board to keep politics out of the search. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a letter to Regent chair Sachin Shailendra from The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges advised the board pick a candidate based on their skills and abilities to avoid "politicizing" the search. Perdue has no experience in education administration. Also, President Joe Biden is scheduled to travel to Georgia tomorrow following his first speech to a joint session of Congress later tonight. His speech will serve as a review of his first 100 days in office. Biden's Thursday trip to Georgia reflects the new importance of the Peach State in national politics following the 2020 election of Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. The pair of Georgians gave Democrats a majority in the U.S. Senate, bolstering the president's abilities to pass his progressive agenda.

On the morning of November 1, 1755, a devastating earthquake struck the Portuguese capital of Lisbon. The quake leveled buildings, triggered fires, and caused a tsunami that laid waste to the urban landscape. When it was all over, thousands were dead.  The Lisbon earthquake was a disaster of epic proportions, so much so that it became the subject of the first major international disaster relief effort. People from around the Atlantic world contributed funds to Lisbon and its inhabitants, including a £100,000 donation from King George II of Great Britain.  The quake also marked a change in how people around the Atlantic world responded to disasters. Surely, many who awoke that morning to celebrate All Saints Day attributed the devastation to God's wrath, but in the era of the Enlightenment, many more still looked to reason and science as modes of explanation, and to alleviate the suffering. On today's episode, Dr. Cindy Kierner of George Mason University joins us to discuss the origins of our modern attitudes toward disasters. She is the author of the new book, Inventing Disaster: The Culture of Calamity from the Jamestown Colony to the Johnstown Flood. And as you might have divined from the book's subtitle, how we now respond to disasters like the coronavirus, California wildfires, or Hurricane Katrina is the product of a long history that dates back to the 17th century. About Our Guest: Cindy Kierner received her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 1986. A specialist in the fields of early America, women and gender, and early southern history, she is the author or editor of eight books and many articles. Kierner is an OAH Distinguished Lecturer and past president of the Southern Association for Women Historians (SAWH), and she has served on several editorial boards. Her research has received support from the American Historical Association, the Virginia Historical Society, the Library Company of Philadelphia, the American Antiquarian Society, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. About Our Host: Jim Ambuske, Ph.D. leads the Center for Digital History at the Washington Library. A historian of the American Revolution, Scotland, and the British Atlantic World, Ambuske graduated from the University of Virginia in 2016. He is a former Farmer Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at the University of Virginia Law Library. At UVA Law, Ambuske co-directed the 1828 Catalogue Project and the Scottish Court of Session Project.  He is currently at work on a book about emigration from Scotland in the era of the American Revolution as well as a chapter on Scottish loyalism during the American Revolution for a volume to be published by the University of Edinburgh Press.

This episode Eric and Marty do a live audience podcast from the Southern Association for Counselor Education and Supervision conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The episode is about podcasting and other digital creative work for faculty.

Orion High School is a digital school whose mission is empowering learning, renewing hope. Our guest, Dr. Gallegos, founded the school over a decade ago and shares with us what he's learned and what makes his school unique. It was important to him and the other founders to find a way of teaching that better met the needs of the students. The school they created hires experts in their field to mentor students, as opposed to being teachers. At Orion, there is no way a student can pass a course without interacting regularly with their mentor, there are no multiple-choice tests, students are given tasks and not homework, and expectations are clearly set early and often for students at the school. Trailblazers, right? Make sure your school is accredited Not only is Orion High School nationally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, internationally by AdvancED, and by the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission, but these accreditations are part of what gives Orion High School its strength. When digital schools are appropriately accredited, this makes it much easier for students to secure financial aid when they enter college. Students and families find this very important! Orion helped create digital standards of education Because Orion High School was one of the first digital schools to go through the accreditation process, the reviewers didn't quite know what to expect! The typical onsite standards didn't work for a school of this nature, so Dr. Gallegos worked with AdvanceED to create the standards that are appropriate for digital schools. Trends in digital learning There has been a shift away from the traditional learning environment over the years; this is positive because it gives students and families more choice and flexibility, and provides better learning opportunities. At Orion, students can be fully enrolled, taking all of their classes through the school, or they can take classes as needed. Since there are an increasing number of students seeking digital courses, administrators at the school are strongly encouraged to consider accreditation so that they can best serve their students, but also so that their school is appealing to those beyond their backyard. Orion has students from across the nation and outside of the U.S., and they have also worked with their home state of Texas to ensure smooth transfer of records between the schools. Dr. Gallegos began working with Transcript Maker not long after founding the school and has been able to create transcripts that lend credibility to his school while functioning in the way he needs. We are so glad that Dr. Gallegos joined us on Beyond Transcripts to share his insights, experiences, and tips about digital education.

It might be a little late in the game if you are just beginning to formulate a parenting strategy for your college-bound student so that they will communicate, collaborate, or reciprocate to parental guidance. Recently at a parent coffee meeting, a few folks came up to me to ask how ‘hands-on' or ‘hands-free' they should be with their high school kids. On this episode, my dear friend and esteemed colleague Nancy Beane will explain how the parenting work for “college-readiness” begins in high school or even in younger grades. She will discuss what students themselves can do to prepare themselves for the realities of a multifaceted college life where you and only you are in charge of your success.About Nancy BeaneNancy Beane grew up in Tennessee. She graduated with honors with a B.A. in History from Agnes Scott College, has an M.A.T. in History from UNC-Chapel Hill, and has an Ed.S. in Social Studies from Georgia State University.

There she taught history until 2015 and has done college counseling since 1992. Her fervent belief is that every person has the potential for a positive future, and she has always encouraged her students to take advantage of opportunities for growth and development while believing in themselves.She has been actively involved in various professional organizations and is currently the President of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). She also served as President of the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling (SACAC) from 2004 to 2005, was a member of the Board of Directors of NACAC from 2008-2011, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools (ACCIS) from 2012-2015.
