Student and Faculty Services Numbers Graduates: 261 distance students graduate this semester. 71 students received their undergraduate degree, 187 received their graduate degree and 3 received their doctoral degree. Graduation Celebration: May 15, 2015 in the Alumni Center had 18 graduates attend with a total of 69 family and campus staff there to celebrate with them, not counting Global Campus staff! Testing: Spring semester brought 1,345 exam appointments into the testing center - the highest of any semester yet! Scholarships: Global Campus received 90 applications and awarded 17 scholarships totaling $15,000 to degree-seeking distance students for the summer 2015 semester. This is only the second time we’ve awarded scholarships for the summer, a semester in which few finanial aid opportunities exist. It is common for distance students to enroll in summer courses to stay on track in their program and to better balance their academic workload throughout the year. Compared to summer 2014, we saw an 8 percent increase in applications and awarded six additonal scholarships for an increase of $5,500.

1 Professional Development Professional Development Takeaway Forms Be sure to check out the reports from those who have attended conferences and professional development events. These reports are a great way for everyone to glean the highlights of many activities in a quick, concise manner. All reports can be found at: W:\public\Global Campus Information\Professional Develop- ment\Completed activity report forms. Also, be sure to submit your reports after attending a professional development event so you can share what you learned with your colleagues!

Cara Koerperich, Michele Edwards, Kim Schurle, Tina Horocofsky, Missy Jacobson, Janice Nikkel and Lydell Cox attended the Leadercast event in Salina on May 8. The title this year was “The Brave Ones,” that focused on bravery and what it means to lead with boldness.

Global Campus hosted a Summer School event outside the Call Hall Dairy Bar on April 22 from 2-4 p.m. In a little over 2 hours, we handed out nearly 500 ice cream coupons. Elissa Mullinix and Rosemary Boggs assisted Jo Maseberg-Tomlinson in talking to students about their summer plans. We asked if they knew if they were on time for graduation or if they were going to take an extra semester or more. Students were surprised to learn the opportunity cost of staying in school just an extra semester (lost potential salary in addition to extra cost of school). Many students reported that they are staying here this summer and taking classes or are taking classes online from their internships or jobs at home. The Call Hall Dairy Bar line for ice cream stretched out the door and down the sidewalk – a successful event for all who participated! Global Campus has held a few Summer School events on campus: the Lemonade Stand (Monday, June 15), the Photo Booth with Willie the Wildcat (Monday, June 22) and the Ice Pops giveaway (Monday, June 29). For the Lemonade Stand, over 100 students stop by despite a light mist falling at times. The Photo Booth was equally well attended (despite a 100+ degree heat index), with 85- 100 people stopping by to get their picture taken, grab a cold drink, and sign up for future prize drawings. The Ice Pops giveaway had over 150 students stop by. A big thanks to Melinda Sinn, Rosanna Vail, Anna Dyke, Valerie Meyer, Moritz Cleve, and Brandon Smith for all their help!

Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society The Omega Xi chapter of the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society inducted its first class into membership at the 2015 K-State Global Campus Honors and Awards Reception April 30. To receive an invitation, a student must be a currently enrolled nontraditional student with a minimum of twenty-four hours completed toward an undergraduate degree program through the Manhattan or Global Campuses with a 3.2 cumulative GPA or better. Fifty-nine students were accepted to membership and ten (pictured with co-counselors Katie Morris and Maleah Lundeen) were able to attend the induction ceremony on campus.

“A lot of different flowers make a bouquet.” –Muslim origin July 2015

Janet Carlson Get Office: Conferences and Noncredit Programs, Coordinator Connected Time at Global Campus: 1 1/2 years - 10 plus at K-State Hometown: Born in a very small rural town in Marshall County, KS but moved to the western part of Pottawatomie county when I was 4 years old so I have lived in the Manhattan area for most of my life. My dad was a farmer and my Mom was a school teacher. Jan’s Family Includes: Husband, Jack, also works for KSU. He is an Engineering Project Manager in the Campus Facilities Planning Office. We will celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary in 2015! We have two children. Son, Brian, and his wife, Sutida, live in Los Angeles, Calif. “Tida” is from Thailand. Our daughter, Denise, and her husband, Kevin, live in Springfield, Missouri.

April showers bring May flowers…. Which flowers are your favorite in the spring? Peonies – my mother had beautiful iris and peonies. Some of the peony plants I have in my garden are off- spring from her plants.

What are some hobbies you have? Jack and Jan enjoy spending their spare time “working” on the 400-acre pasture they own north of Manhattan. There is always something to do – cutting cedar trees, fixing fences, spraying weeds and brush.

What is the most valuable piece of advice you have ever received? After graduation from Manhattan High School, my college decision was an easy one. My parents told me that I could go to college anywhere I wanted, but K-State was the only school that they would pay for. It turned out to be good advice and guidance – KSU has been my academic and employment home for most of my life.

What is your most memorable summer vacation? It was really a fall vacation, but we traveled to Thailand for the traditional Thai wedding of our son and daughter-in-law. The wedding started at 6 a.m. and there were events throughout the day into the evening.

What was the first job that you have ever had? Vista Drive In – and yes I wore one of those blue uniforms and white aprons that they have on display now in the restaurant. I worked there for 2 years – last year of high school and first year of college. Then I got a student employee job on campus and my KSU journey started.

Who has been the biggest influence in your life? I feel that much of my growing up was influenced by my maternal grandmother. She lived with our family during my growing up years. I learned my love for animals and gardening from her. She emphasized the responsibility that we have to care for what is given to us.

What is your favorite season and why? I love all the seasons and am so glad that I live in Kansas where I can experience them all.

5 Anna Shippy Get Office: Marketing and Communication Services, onnected Student Writer/Editor C Time at Global Campus: One year, 9 months Hometown: Hays, Kansas Anna’s Family Includes: Mom, Kay; dad, Darrell; brother, Ethan (16); sister, Claire (12); and Allie, our wild dog!

What do you enjoy most about your job? In my position, I really get to interact with all of the different units here at K-State Global Campus. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know lots of different people throughout the building. It’s also neat to see my name on bylines for news releases published in K-State Today and also in magazines and publications produced by K-State Global Campus.

What is the most valuable piece of advice you have ever received? Whenever I get really stressed out, I call my mom to talk it out. She’s the most patient person I know, so she’s great at listening to me complain and helping me find solutions to my problems. She always tells me “take things one day at a time.” This is great advice, because it helps me look at my schedule and realize, okay, by tomorrow this will be done, and then the next day I can finish this, and so on, so that I’m not stressing about everything all at once.

What is your favorite restaurant? I love Chipotle. I could eat it every day, for every meal.

What place would you like to visit? I’ve always wanted to go to Australia. I’ve heard kangaroos are like squirrels there and just run wild, which I think is awesome. The Great Barrier Reef would also be neat to see.

What was the first job that you have ever had? I’ve really loved ice cream ever since I was a child, so my dream job was to work at Dairy Queen. The day after I turned 15, I applied to work there. That was the best job ever. The Hays store only sold ice cream, so we didn’t have to worry about any of the fast food prep. It was so much fun getting to go to work and make Blizzards and cones and decorate cakes all day. Plus, all of the employees were allowed free ice cream whenever they worked, which was awesome.

What was your most memorable Halloween costume? When my brother and I were little, my mom always insisted on dressing us in coordinating Halloween costumes. We were Mickey and Minnie Mouse one year, Indians another, but the most memorable was when we were Woody and Jessie from Toy Story, because my brother refused to wear his boots and wanted to wear Barney the Dinosaur slippers instead. The pictures are hilarious.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grow up? This is crazy, but when I was in kindergarten I told my mom I wanted to be a trash man. I saw them riding around town on the back of the trash trucks and thought it looked like fun.

What do you enjoy most about your job? Honestly, the list is long. I enjoy the people I work with. I love that I get to do something a little different each day and I really appreciate being in a position where I can help and make a difference.

What is the most rewarding experience you have had and why? The hardest and most rewarding experience I’ve had has been raising a child. There are wonderful days and days you wonder where that kid came from because you know that’s not how you raised them. The wonderful days far outnumber the less stellar days, and I am looking forward to watching our daughter continue to grow into a young adult.

What is your favorite quote? One of my favorite “quotes” is a 1991 Jerry Rice Nike poster which is too long to print here. While he mentions many things that I’ll probably never do, the “Just Do It” theme is one I employ often. Don’t think about why you can’t do something, figure out a way to get what you want to do done!

What is your favorite restaurant? Oh food…. I honestly can’t pick a favorite. I often tell my husband “you can take me anywhere as long as you feed me well.” I will say that when we were in Utah a couple of years ago we were there three days and ate at the Red Iguana all three days – guess that would rank pretty high. The best BBQ I’ve ever had was at a little shack called Franklin’s in Austin, TX. We stood in line almost two hours prior to opening and I think only 12 or 15 people behind us in line got food that day – when the food is gone they close the doors. It was pretty amazing. I could go on and on.

What is your most memorable summer vacation? My family took only one vacation when I was growing up. We all loaded into the big yellow conversion van and took a road trip to Galveston, Texas. We lost our muffler going through Houston – that was the most lanes of traffic I had ever seen! We rode a ferry across to the island and got to see the ocean for the first time and collected seashells. On the way home we went through , and I had my first gumbo. Now I make gumbo for my dad’s birthday every year.

What was your first car? My first car was a 1969 Dodge Dart that my grandpa had patched up with Bondo and spray painted forest green. It was not beautiful but it had a 318 engine and was really fast. I found out later that the guys in my class used to steal the keys from my locker and take it out and drive it around. It earned the name “frog mobile” because of its color and because once they left me a frog on the dash of the car after they had taken it for a spin. The frog mobile met its end during my senior year in high school and I had the fun experience of riding to school with my brother who was a freshman – not very cool but it was still better than the bus!

Who has been the biggest influence in your life? While my parents certainly had a big influence, I’d say the biggest influence in my life has been my husband. We’ve been together forever (junior high sweethearts) and have grown up together. We’re best friends and have a strong mutual respect for each other and our talents and shortcomings. There have also been several professional mentors who have positively impacted my life and for whom I am very grateful.

What is your favorite season and why? I love all the seasons because they each have their unique attributes. Spring because everything is coming alive and is fresh. It’s the beginning of the busy time and days spent outside. Summer because things are growing, flowers are blooming and the garden is producing yummy things to eat. Fall because things are slowing down a bit and the weather is turning cooler. And, Winter because, when we’re not cutting wood, it’s time to be inside by the fire and getting a few house things done that get neglected during the days outdoors.

9 Austin Barnes Get Office: Student and Faculty Services, Student Assistant onnected Time at Global Campus: One year, 1 month C Hometown: Shawnee, Kansas Austin’s Family Includes: Parents, Ron and Shelly, and two younger brothers, Josh and Colby.

How do you relieve stress? Running is one of my favorite ways to relieve stress. I’m also getting ready to start boxing…emphasis on getting ready. We’ll see how that goes! My family also embraces the “group chat”, which is basically free therapy. I am an advocate.

If you could have a ticket to any concert, what would it be and why? I would have loved (as I’m sure the world would have) to experience Michael Jackson’s This Is It tour, had it happened. I have a feeling it would have been a very cool experience.

What are some hobbies you have? I’m semi-obsessed with reality TV… and TV in general. Because it’s summer, I’ll be watching a lot of Big Brother on CBS. I’m a Red Sox fan, that’s fun. I’m planning to go into entertainment journalism, so most pop culture related happenings interest me. I’m certain that my co-workers will attest to this.

What do you enjoy most about your job? There are SO many aspects of my job that I enjoy. Getting to work with students, especially prospective students, has a way of making you feel really good about yourself. I talk to quite a few people in the span of a work day, and every now and then I’ll get to work with one who I can tell is genuinely excited about starting or resuming their education. Those calls make me feel like I am a part of something important. I also have some really great co-workers, who have made working here feel a lot less like a job.

What is the most rewarding experience you have had and why? I spent two summers building houses in Juarez, Mexico. The experience was unreal, the people were so genuine, and it was nice to get away from the “me culture” of the U.S. for a little while.

What is your favorite ice-cream flavor? Ben & Jerry’s Jimmy Fallon inspired “Tonight Dough” … There are no words!

What is your favorite place to visit? Target. Target is magical. The employees know me by name.

What movie are you looking forward to seeing in theaters? Jurassic World! I’m a huge fan of how the original movies were produced visually, so I’m pretty stoked to see how the 2015 model looks.

What was your most memorable Halloween costume? In 2nd grade, I was a magician’s rabbit inside of a top hat. My parents created a top hat costume that I could fit inside of. It was very DIY. Every Halloween someone, somewhere, sends me a picture of it.

Farewell While it is always a sad time to bid farewell to an employee it is also a time of celebration when the person has gained new employment in his chosen field. James Callahan, as coordinator of Go Teacher, will leave the CNCP Global Campus staff in early July. James will be taking a position teaching English with the Manhattan school district starting in the fall. In the transition time, James will teach for the English Language Program in the Office of International Programs for the remainder of the summer. His last day will be July 4 when he takes the Go Teacher students to the Wamego Independence Day celebration. The Go Teacher program coordination duties will shift to the College of Education effective July 5. We are happy for James as he returns to the teaching role he much enjoys and wish him well as he embarks on a new phase of his career.
