SCHOOL OF BUSINESS – Ann Theis, Dean Programs, Partnerships, and Opportunities This spring, the School of Business is offering 79 course sections serving 1,148 students at 24 area high schools through dual enrollment. The evening Cohort Program (Findlay) in Business Management Technology began this semester with nine students enrolled. This accelerated program allows students to complete their degree in two years attending compressed classes one-night a week. The School of Business and Workforce and Community Services (WCS) have partnered to develop a system that encourages more Owens students to earn a variety of Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) information technology certifications. By utilizing the College’s status as an educational institution, Owens is able to obtain large exam fee discounts for students. School of Business faculty are urging students to take one or more of the exams to complement their coursework, and WCS provides certification voucher fulfillment services. Through these coordinated efforts, more students will ultimately earn nationally-recognized certifications, which enhance employability in a variety of information technology-related fields. Since the beginning of the semester, tutoring for Information Systems Technology and Accounting Technology has moved under the School of Business. To date, the School has conducted 574 tutoring sessions in both Findlay (8 percent) and Toledo (92 percent). A tracking database allows the School to identify the specific classes and/or issues that the student needs help with and give that feedback to the instructors. The Owens Chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) Chapter and United Way are hosting a free tax prep clinic at the Toledo Campus on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Founders Hall. Jeremy Mohler, Owens Chapter President, is a coordinator of this program. Rama Kannan, Assistant Professor, Accounting, is the Chapter Advisor. To become a Certified Volunteer Tax Preparer, IMA student members went through an intense training and examination process. This program provides free federal and state tax return preparation for eligible taxpayers through the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program. Targeted clients for this free tax preparation program are low to moderate income, especially families, elderly, disabled and students. 3 SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES – Doug Mead, Dean On February 1, the Dental Hygiene program and the Toledo Dental Society provided the Give Kids a Smile Day at the Dental Hygiene Clinic.
