Blake was pretty much a stud from the get-go, winning 5 AAU state titles. During that time, he wrestled at one of the toughest clubs around, the Cedar Valley Mat Club. His success followed him into his high school days, as he became a 4x state placewinner for Denver-Tripoli. Blake chose to attend Upper Iowa University and was a national runner-up as a sophomore. Unfortunately, Blake battled knee injuries for most of his wrestling career, making his accolades that much more impressive. Blake now owns an acreage in Denver with his wife and two kids, who I bet are just as rowdy as he was. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Blake Sorensen!

In honor of Black History month, we are excited to share about an amazing woman of color. Susan was born on July 3, 1851 in the free state of Illinois. Her parents, Isaac and Sarah Ann, were both emancipated slaves. She was the first Black woman to graduate from Upper Iowa University; the first black woman to graduate from Chicago Training School; and the first black woman to be supported and sent out as a missionary to Africa by the Women's Foreign Mission Society. Susan worked in various capacities with Bishop Taylor before starting and building her own school and orphanage in Quessua where she served as the administrator, teacher, principal, and nurse for over twenty-five years. When she returned to the states, Susan was a sought-after speaker at women's meetings, churches, and various events. She never complained about the hardships or setbacks of her life, though there were many, but rather she worked with whatever circumstances life presented her with great success. Her story is so remarkable that we needed three episodes to highlight the obstacles, accomplishments, and events of her life Susan Aneline Collins: With a Hallelujah Heart By Janis Bennington Van Burent

A Marian apparition is an event in which the Blessed Virgin Mary is believed to have supernaturally appeared to one or more persons. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, or on the sobriquet which was given to Mary on the occasion of the apparition. They have been interpreted in religious terms as theophanies. Marian apparitions sometimes are reported to recur at the same site over an extended period of time. In the majority of Marian apparitions only a few people report having witnessed the apparition. Exception to this include Zeitoun, and Assiut where thousands claimed to have seen her over a period of time. Author Kevin Cook has a B.A. from Upper Iowa University, and a masters in theology from a Protestant seminary.

Dr. Frazier is known as an academic entrepreneur and his career is marked by enrollment growth through creative academic programming. Dr. Frazier's portfolio includes the Adult and Graduate Programs, library services, academic support, international education, Registrar Office, Office of Student Development, career services, community service office, campus ministries and the university academic divisions (Business, Education, Humanities, Nursing, and Sciences). Dr. Frazier serves on the President's Cabinet and is also a full professor in the Division of Business. Under Dr. Frazier's leadership, Iowa Wesleyan has seen over 100% increase in overall student enrollment in less than two years. Under Frazier's leadership, Wesleyan has increased international student enrollment by over 600% (18 to 120 students). Frazier has designed and incorporated a step-by-step plan for designing new academic programs and has implemented in the university wide strategic plan metrics to develop a minimum two new programs for review each academic year. Under his leadership the university has launched its first two graduate programs as well as an aggressive micro-credential program. Frazier is a national presenter on academic entrepreneurship. Prior to serving at Iowa Wesleyan, Dr. Frazier was the associate vice president for academic affairs and dean of the Graduate School at Campbellsville University in Kentucky. At Campbellsville University, Dr. Frazier oversaw 17 different graduate programs across various disciplines including business, counseling, education, music, social work, social science, and teaching English to speakers of other languages. Frazier was responsible for implementing recruitment strategies, overseeing curriculum development and monitoring program resources. Under his leadership, the Graduate Programs grew steadily from a Full-Time Equivalency (FTE) of 453 in the Fall 2010 to 535 FTE in the Fall 2012. Two of the programs have recently (2014) been ranked by U.S. News and World Report in the top online programs in the United States. Dr. Frazier came to Campbellsville University after serving three years as the Senior Vice President for International Programs (SVP for IP) at Upper Iowa University (UIU) in Fayette, Iowa. Dr. Frazier was responsible for overseeing UIU's academic extension centers located in foreign locations. Upper Iowa University currently has centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. Under Dr. Frazier's leadership, full-time student numbers at the international academic extension locations have increased from 399 to 831 over the past three years. The enrollment growth reflects a 108 percent increase in total students.  As the Sr. VP for IP, Dr. Frazier oversaw all academic requests, including final grade appeals, internship extensions, appeals from suspension, approval of faculty, and final review of course substitutions.

All-time leading scorer and role player don't really fit in the same sentence. But in the case of this week's Moonlighter, they are both a part of his story. Brooks McKowen graduated high school having set a new standard for Iowa high school basketball players. While at UNI he became a new player. When he hung up the sneakers, he found another role holding a clipboard. No matter what role he takes on, Brooks McKowen continues to find success on the basketball court.   Brooks McKowen grew up in smalltown Iowa and absolutely dominated high school basketball for his four-year career. McKowen set a state record by scoring over 2,800 points in his career and set the season mark with 1,002 in his senior year alone. The individual records weren't really on his radar until he was entering his senior year though. He just wanted to win. McKowen put Wapsie Valley on the map and had the state of Iowa keeping track of him as he made his way into the record books.   McKowen was a 6'2  guard who was putting up 35 and 11 each night in high school. Coming from a small school, and in the era before social media, McKowen's recruiting process was really different than what his own players go through today. He started 117 games for UNI in his 4 years. He was a key player for the Panthers as they went to 3 NCAA tournaments. But instead of being a scorer, he became a role player averaging 7 points and 3 assists per game over the course of his career while playing for Greg McDermott and Ben Jacobson.   That transition has helped him become the successful head coach that he is today. When he was finished playing for Ben Jacobson, he traded his jersey for a clipboard and served as a graduate assistant and later as an assistant coach for the Panthers. After stops in DMACC and Southwest Minnesota State, McKowen took on another new role as the head coach for the Upper Iowa University. UIU is the only D-2 school in the state and McKowen puts an emphasis on recruiting Iowa-born and bred players. McKowen knows that smalltown kids will thrive in smalltown Fayette, Iowa. In his 9 years at UIU, the Peacocks have won 150 games and set the school record for wins twice. This past season they were 22-6 and made it to the NCAA D II Central Regional Semifinals. The outlook for this 2022-2023 is very bright as he returns a lot of talent.

A Marian apparition is an event in which the Blessed Virgin Mary is believed to have supernaturally appeared to one or more persons. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, or on the sobriquet which was given to Mary on the occasion of the apparition. They have been interpreted in religious terms as theophanies. Marian apparitions sometimes are reported to recur at the same site over an extended period of time. In the majority of Marian apparitions only a few people report having witnessed the apparition. Exception to this include Zeitoun, and Assiut where thousands claimed to have seen her over a period of time.

Marcelo Botelho estava na base do Legião FC (DF), quando se deparou com o dilema que quase todo atleta acaba tendo: será que vai dar pra virar profissional? A dúvida foi temporariamente respondida ao passar na UnB e já considerar o nível profissional como passado. Um amigo próximo, no entanto, tratou de reacender a chama esportiva ao participar de um processo para se tornar estudante-atleta nos EUA, como tenista. Curioso sobre o processo, Marcelo replicou os passos e na raça buscou uma rota para fazer o mesmo, mas como jogador de futebol. Fazendo isso tudo há 10 anos, com muito menos acesso a informação, Marcelo sentiu na pele os desafios, mas também viu o enorme valor ao entrar na Upper Iowa University. Jogando e estudando administração, no último ano fez um trabalho de estudo focado na atividade de gestão de um time universitário, incluindo as etapas de recrutamento. Pouco tempo depois, já formado e já tendo ajudado muita gente no Distrito Federal, Marcelo deu início ao Team Brazucas. Ao longo de 7 anos, muita coisa de transformou e hoje é uma assessoria com clientes ao redor do Brasil e com um canal valiosíssimo para instruir jovens e curiosos sobre o futebol universitário nos EUA. #marcelobotelho #teambrazucas #brasileirosnoseua - - - - - Cansado de ver sempre o mesmo tipo de conteúdo dos outros canais?

Though the shelter was meant to be a stabilizing influence for her family and respite for the downtrodden, it was a breeding ground of dysfunction. ​A determined spirit and unshakeable faith lifted Paul to earn a degree in business administration from Upper Iowa University. Father to four adult children, Paul wrote his autobiography, titled No Love, No Charity: The Success of the 19th Child.

How do you follow a legend? Not many know or are able to do it well, but Conner Klostermann in his first year in the 3rd base coaches box needed to figure out a way to make it work. Taking over for legend Tom Jenk Jr. , Conner Klostermann was a 19 year old kid taking over a position that was held by his former coach for over 40 years.

In this episode we talk with Chief Jeremy Craft of Lehi Fire. We get deep and address tough issues, what it's like to be in the fire service, how difficult it is to be a first responder, and how the issue of mental health awareness is on the rise. We also open up about our own individual journeys of finding who we are and how to embrace all the parts of us that show up from time to time. It's a great episode with lots of helpful tools and information for anyone! Here's a little about Jeremy: Jeremy Craft has been in the fire service for the past twenty seven years. Jeremy began his career as a volunteer for the local ski patrol in Montana where he grew up. After high school he moved to Utah to pursue a career as a paramedic. He soon found that in order to be a medic he had to also be a firefighter. It was as a part time employee at South Davis Fire District that he received his initial firefighter training. Jeremy also worked for Gold Cross Ambulance in the early months of his emergency medical services career. It was through Gold Cross Ambulance that Jeremy was able to receive his Paramedic education at Weber State University. Just after graduation from Paramedic school, Jeremy was hired by Provo Fire and Rescue. Throughout Jeremy’s career he worked as a medic for the first eight years and then moved to the position of engineer. After two years as an engineer he was promoted to Captain and served in that capacity for three and half years. One of Jeremy’s career goals as a Paramedic was to fly in an air ambulance for Life Flight. He was fortunate to be able to fly with them for five years. In 2007 Jeremy was accepted to Utah Valley University and began pursuing his educational goals. Jeremy graduated with honors in April 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in public emergency services management. He continued his education at Upper Iowa University. In 2013 he graduated with a Masters of Public Administration. Jeremy took the fire chief job with Lehi City in December of 2014, and still holds that position today. Jeremy’s wife Kristen has been a source of much unselfish support as he continues to achieve his goals. Jeremy and Kristen have 5 children: Ashlee, Jordin, Marlee, Kenedy and Terrence. As a family, they enjoy anything outdoors. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/findingstrength/support

The fifth annual Ten with Ken Holiday Special continues our review of highlights from more than 500 college and university greeting videos released around the world last December. In part 3, “Festive & Fuzzy,” we turn to the cuddlier side of the season, with a look at campus mascots, puppy dogs, and classic movies.   Mascots appear often in holiday videos, as we saw in parts 1 and 2, including the University of Virginia’s Cavalier, Upper Iowa University’s Pete the Peacock, Wheaton College’s Roary the Lion, James Madison University’s Duke Dog, and Cape Breton University’s Caper.  Mascots played Santa as well, such as JW the Mustang in Western University’s video.  At Atlanta’s Emory University, it was not the official mascot, Swoop the Eagle, but the “spirit” of campus, Dooley the Biology Lab Skeleton, who played Santa. The best-in-class “Mascot as Santa” video, though, came from the University of Alabama: Big Al, the elephant, was rushing around campus dispensing gifts, when he needs to figure out how to cheer up a disappointed little girl.   Although cat videos (like my current fave, Owl Kitty) dominate the internet, when it comes to higher ed holiday videos, it’s all canines all the way! They make cameo appearances at tree-lighting ceremonies, music recitals, and even serve as a prop for presidents. An adorable golden retriever puppy warmed up the bonfire at Algoma University. Two malteses cheered up a fireside chat from Quinnipiac University president Judy Olian. At Duke University, president Vincent Price recited a poem to his golden doodle and labradoodle.   Dogs are also increasingly the stars of holiday videos. Teddy and Travis toured the College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University. At North Carolina’s Meredith College, president Jo Allen’s dog Bachelor has starred in holiday greetings for years – delivering ornaments and candy canes, making a fitness resolution and hitting the treadmill. Last year, he took us on an aerial tour of campus, flying his WWI prop plane. Bachelor has earned a special lifetime achievement award for his contributions so far.   Landmark College president Peter Eden talked to the animals – by Facetime!  And the campus therapy dogs texted each other.  And speaking of therapy dogs, the theme of well-being has been increasing in holiday videos. The SAIT Student Association released several videos last year emphasizing support services. The Thompson Rivers University student life office produced a tongue-in-cheek video about winter wellness. And of course, plenty of videos focus on homesickness and loneliness.   Lonely mascots often find a happy ending. At the University of California Merced, Rufus the Bobcat felt neglected by busy students until he launched a campus feel-good initiative. At the University of Guelph, Gryph snuggled up to watch holiday videos with president Franco Vaccarino. At Scotland’s University of Stirling, the mascot Squirrel was deeply depressed until he was brought into a warm circle of friends to celebrate the holidays. “Be the Difference” was the best-in-class video of this type last year.   Often, lonely mascots parody classic Christmas movies like “Home Alone,” eating tons of ice cream and getting into trouble. Last year it was Penn State’s Nittany Lion, and the University of Alberta’s GUBA the golden bear.  But we also saw the president of Regis University, Father John Fitzgibbons, recreating holiday classics like “Home Alone,” “Elf,” “Christmas Vacation” and even “Love Actually.” With even higher production standards, the John Chambers School of Business & Economics at West Virginia U produced a wonderful best-in-class collection of movie parodies. It was matched only by another outstanding parody of “Christmas Vacation” from the University of Tennessee – Martin, in which Chancellor Keith Carver performs superbly. Of course, the other popular holiday movie parody was “The Grinch,” from UK’s Newcastle & Stafford Colleges Group to Bellarmine University.   This episode contains clips from more than 500 higher ed holiday videos that Ken collected last year. You can find our full collection of 2018 videos on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLodJ8ParJmYXZ7unDyH9cDK-lwTwGul7B And we’ve started collecting 2019 higher ed holiday videos at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLodJ8ParJmYXaztYot1vitgTZ5AHfAfJk If you want to add one, please use this special link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLodJ8ParJmYXaztYot1vitgTZ5AHfAfJk&jct=Tm_lbyblL2ee4fhdD9En0aFVEu-NVg   After 3 parts and 40 minutes, we may have done what we can for this month.  Ten with Ken will be back in January with more serious topics, from virtual reality in pedagogy, to student mental health and therapy dogs.  To be sure you don’t miss a thing, be sure to subscribe at http://eduvation.ca/subscribe/

This year’s “Ten with Ken” Holiday Special starts with part 1: Midwinter Magic!   In last year’s higher ed holiday videos, campus marketers were clearly anxious about doing a good job, such as at the Bryan School of Business & Economics at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, Upper Iowa University, Chambers College of Business & Economics at West Virginia University, and Newcastle & Stafford College Group. Some campus leaders invite lots of input, such as at the Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism at the University of Southern California. But president Ryan of the University of Virginia took matters into his own hands, in the best-in-class “presidential message” video. As always, hundreds of videos were just animated greeting cards, but some stood out from UBC Okanagan, Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles, and the Mellon College of Science at Carnegie Mellon University. The best-in-class “miniature campus” video came from New York’s Barnard College.  We saw tree-trimming or tree-lighting ceremonies at Sweet Briar College, Mount Saint Vincent University, King’s University College, and DePaul University. Meadow Brook Hall at Oakland University was decked with all the trimmings, while Elon University released an hour-long “yule log” video (without a fireplace). Many campuses are beautiful in winter, and snow sports featured in videos from Bishop’s University, McGill University, Western Carolina University, and Trent University. At the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management staged ice sculpting. But in the southern hemisphere, the holidays fall at the height of summer – so Santa visits the University of Western Australia wearing shorts and sandals! One new trend in last year’s videos was giant snowglobes on campuses, including Grand Valley State University in Michigan the University of Leicester in England, and the University of La Verne. Although it started two years back, the use of robots in holiday videos really accelerated last year. Some good examples came from the University of South Florida, the UCLA Robotics & Mechanisms Lab, Germany’s Forschungszentrum Informatic research centre, and perhaps even the Western University Archives. Eschewing tradition, the Chancellor of Purdue University Indianapolis was sent on a scavenger hunt, while at Oklahoma State University, president Burns Hargis and his wife took on whitewater rafting. Chancellor Susan Koch of the University of Illinois Springfield became a cartoon and went snowboarding with the provost, while president Feridun Hamdullahpur of the University of Waterloo was turned into claymation in the best-in-class “animated president” video. Animated presidents were just a new twist on the longstanding tradition of amusing videos from animation students, and last year we saw good examples from Sheridan College, Centennial College, and Emily Carr University of Art & Design. The best-in-class “animated greeting” video came from Scotland’s University of Stirling. This episode contains clips from about 60 of the 500+ higher ed holiday videos that Ken collected last year.

Breaking Into...  -- In this episode Black Hollywood Live host James Lott Jr. interviews Paul Lamar Hunter. Big and small families have their drawbacks. But what happens when you have 20 brothers and sisters and a mother who was mentally ill? Well, according to Paul Lamar Hunter, you fly or your fall.

Paul Hunter is the first (and only of his sibling)s to have graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Upper Iowa University. Hunter’s inaugural literary offering is a gripping autobiographical account of growing up in a dysfunctional and abusive environment in an enthralling biographical literary offering titled “No Love, No Charity: The Success of the 19th Child.” Having had 20 siblings, Hunter grew up with as many as 17 in the home at one time, in what he describes as abject poverty, chaos, and physi
