  • Spring Is Nesting Time Native Fish Exhibit
    spring is nesting time chorus frogs Next time you visit the Ogden Nature Center, stop by to see the home improvements our Red-tailed Hawk Sampson has been making inside his enclosure. Each spring Sampson takes the twigs and branches that Ogden Nature Center staff leave for him and weaves them into a nest atop the platform in the upper corner of his mew. Like many raptors – birds that hunt with their feet – Red-tailed Hawks mate for life and both the male and female work on building the nest. Throughout the spring, Sampson will take food up into his nest. Sampson is an imprinted bird, meaning he has lived with humans for almost his entire life. He doesn’t know how wild hawks are supposed to act. When springtime brings forth his urge to find a mate, he lands on the heads of human females – and it appears as though this feathered gentleman prefers blondes! The women who volunteer as feeders wear hats to protect themselves from Sampson’s photo by Brandi Bosworth springtime advances. Although Sampson can fly and hunt, he cannot be released because of his imprinted behavior, thus he serves as an animal ambassador at the Ogden Nature Center, teaching our community about native birds of prey. photo by Jack Rensel by Susan Snyder, ONC teacher/naturalist Nature’snewsletter of the Ogden Nature Center •Log spring 2010 nature center notes, page 2 green tips for spring, page 3 native fish exhibit community programs, pages 4, 5, 6 volunteers, page 7 Thanks to a team of students from Weber State University, the fly with the flock fun run registration,page 8 Ogden Nature Center will soon be home to an incredible, eight-foot 2010 annual report and friends list, page 9-15 long, 265 gallon aquarium exhibiting Utah native fish.

  • Reported Proportion of SARA Enrollments 2016-2018
    December 2020 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS REPORT Beginning with the Annual Data Report that was published in December 2020, NC-SARA changed the nomenclature used for reporting periods and thus the titles of its reports. All distance education enrollments that were reported to NC-SARA took place the fall term before the report-date year, and Out-of-State Learning Placements (OOSLP) took place in the previous calendar year. The report that follows represents fall 2017 distance education enrollment data and calendar year 2017 Out-Of-State Learning Placements data. Additionally, the enrollment report and the Out-Of-State Learning Placements report (originally separate reports) have been merged into this single file. The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) is a voluntary, interstate reciprocal approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. The initiative is administered by the country’s four regional higher education compacts (MHEC, NEBHE, SREB and WICHE) and coordinated by NC-SARA. States and institutions that choose to participate agree to operate under common standards and procedures, providing a more uniform and less costly regulatory environment for institutions, more focused oversight responsibilities for states, and better resolution of student complaints. www.nc-sara.org z1 NC-SARA 2018 ENROLLMENT REPORT Prepared for NC-SARA by Terri Taylor Straut October 15, 2018 Preface NC-SARA and Its Regional Partners In 2013, the National Council for State Authorization Agreements (NC-SARA) became a nationwide coordinating entity, in partnership with the country’s four regional education compacts (NEBHE, MHEC, SREB, and WICHE) to establish uniform standards and procedures for state oversight of postsecondary distance education delivered across state lines.

    Contents Leadership Message.......................................... 3 Member Institutions ........................................ 12 Financial Audit Report ...................................... 24 Leadership Message from Chair Dr. Lawrence Leak It has been an honor to serve as the chair of the Council and the ACICS Board of Directors this year. As a public member of the Council, I view taking the reins as chair as a signal to the greater higher education community that the ACICS leadership is an independent and diverse body of thinkers. As for my background, I am a lifelong educator with a professional career that spans the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary continuum. In retirement since 2008, I dedicate my service time as an independent public board member to the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and to ACICS. Without a doubt, 2016 has been challenging year for ACICS. It has been satisfying to work and serve with so many who are committed to strengthening ACICS. Very early in 2016, the ACICS Council began adopting sweeping changes to our organizational structure, culture, accreditation guidelines, and accreditation practices. All these efforts are done to improve ACICS's effectiveness as an accreditor, enhance the quality of our member institutions, and to protect the students who enroll at the institutions that earn ACICS accreditation. Below, I provide a recap of the major accreditation criteria changes adopted by the ACICS Council and the significant material events/activities that took place in 2016. Major Accreditation Criteria Changes Adopted by the ACICS Council in 2016 The following accreditation criteria changes are effective July 1, 2016, unless otherwise noted: Definition of Academic Quality.
