TENNESSEE STATEWIDE CONSUMER EDUCATION PROGRAM Mrs. Virginia H..Knauer, Special Assistant to the President for Consumer Affairs, has defined consumer education as "the process of imparting toan individual the skills, concepts, knowledge, and insighs required to help each person evolve his or her own values, evaluate alternative choices in the market- place, manage personal resources effectively, and obtain the best buys for his or her expenditures. In addition, consumer education must help people under- stand the rights and responsibilities of an informed consumer in the free enterprise system." During the fall of 1971 the State Agency for Title I joined with interested institutions of higher education, government agencies, and communitygroups to develop a program that would meet the consumer education needs of Tennesseans. The Tennessee Statewide Consumer Education Program has been partially supported by federal funds under HEA Title I from January 1972 through December 1976. Initial program activities were directed to those who work with the low-income consumer--human service counselors, community ac'tion aides, VISTA volunteers and others. Activities were then expanded to provide inservice workshops and consumer-education curriculum development courses for teachers in selected public school systems-in an effort to integrate consumer education into the existing school curriculum. Other activities have provided information and materials directly to senior citizens, residents of public housing projects, Head Start parents and staff, and the general public. A mass media.component provides consumer releases to newsoapers and.radio and television stations, and also publishes a monthly.newsletter--The TENNESSEE CONSUMER--for previous partici- pants in project activittes and others who request it. .The Tennessee Statewide Consumer Education Program is a cooptixative effort involving the following institutions of higher education and State agencies: East Tennessee State University, Memphis State University, Motlow State Community 3 College, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, The University of Tennessee at Martin, The University of Tennessee Environment Center, the State Agency for Title I (HEA 1965), the State Department of Educa- tion, the State Department of Public Health, the State Department of Human Services, the Tennessee Community Services Administration, the Tennessee Energy Office, and the State Division of Consumer Affairs. The program has been developed by the Tennessee Statewide Consumer Education Planning Council, consisting of project directors from participating institutions and representatives of government agencies. The current membership is: Chairperson:Mr. Bill Radcliff, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Vice Chairperson: Mrs. Martha Overall, Motlow State Community College Mr. Daniel Russo, East Tennessee State University Dr. Lloyd Brooks, Memphis State University Dr. Lillian Chaney, Memphis State University Mr. Marvin Adkins, TenneSsee Technological University Dr. Jean Groezinger, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Dr. George Wagoner, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Mr. John Gammill, The University of Tennessee at Martin Dr. John Gibbons, The University of Tennessee Environment Center Mr. Paul Martin, State Agency for Title I Ms. Cresa Bailey, Tennessee Community Services Administration Mrs. Ann Eaden, Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs HONORS The Tennessee Statewide Consumer Education Program has been cited by the U. S. Office of Education as a model for statewide programming under Title I of the Higher Education Act of 1965. It has also been recognized by the HEW Office of Consumer Affairs as one of the most comprehensive consumer education programs.in the country. The Tennessee Statewide Consumer Education Program was selected asone of only 200 community service projects across the country to be included in the "Horizons on Display" Bicentennial program.Selection was made by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the American Revolu- tion Bicentennial Administration.. "Horizons on Display" is a major national program, highlighting for others those community achievements that represent successful, on-going efforts to deal with cOmmunity needs. "Horizons on Display" will open a dialogue among communities and will provide a forum for information exchange among citizens, private organizations and all levels of government. This tribute to community achievement should remindUS thatour mutual goal is to improve the quality of life for all Aluericans. The Horizons theme recognizes that the,process of community problem solving remainsa powerful force for positive growth and change in America today.

  • Sustainable Cold Storage Policy
    Cold Storage Facility Policy Purpose The purpose of this policy is: To enable energy, cost and carbon savings while maintaining or improving sample safety, security and integrity within University of Edinburgh facilities housing cold storage (i.e. ULT freezers). To standardise good practice in the design and operation of cold storage facilities at University of Edinburgh. Overview ULT freezers expel a lot of heat and, as such, the rooms in which they are held can heat up very quickly if not well ventilated. As the room becomes hotter the strain on the ULT freezers’ compressors increases, which increases energy consumption and the likelihood of failure (risking potentially irreplaceable biological samples). Currently some freezers are located in facilities which have poor natural ventilation, resulting in excessive energy requirements to maintain the appropriate room temperature with fans and air conditioning, and excessive strain and energy consumption of the ULT freezers. The design of facilities to house scientific cold storage equipment can be a major influence on the energy consumption of that equipment and also the energy consumption of building ventilation and cooling services. A well-designed facility will provide more favourable ambient conditions and put less strain upon the components of individual ULTs, reducing risk of failure and associated risk of damage to samples and other freezer contents. Facilities with good natural ventilation, such as the facility at the Roslin Institute, maintain lower room temperatures with very low fan and air conditioning energy consumption. This has a positive compounding effect of lower ULT freezer energy consumption and reduced strain on the compressors, reducing the risk of failure and sample losses.

    VOLUNTEER APPRECIATIONApril 2018 EditionEdition ISSUE 146 We Love our Volunteers! by Sonya Tyler, Director of Operations With National Volunteer Week approaching, we always dedicate the April newsletter to our volunteers. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with two outstanding, hard-working groups that volunteered their time at Interfaith (which Karla will talk more about in her article). We often get church groups and organizations that reach out to us, wanting to give back to their community in a meaningful way. Most of the time, the jobs we provide are not pretty; nor, on the surface, do they even appear to help the people we serve. But each and every job impacts someone significantly. For each volunteer that shows up faithfully to serve here at Interfaith, their time and talents are priceless. And I never tire of saying, we would not exist without them, because it’s true. As we celebrate all 282 volunteers this month, throughout their ministries here at Interfaith, join me in praying God’s blessings on them, for they truly are the heart of Interfaith.
