Qualifying Institutions Senator Rucker asked for clarification on which institutions would qualify to participate in the program. Any of the 26 public community and technical colleges would qualify, as would those Kansas private independent institutions that offer certificate or associate degree programs.

Many students that enter the Barclay College Online Program are surprised by the personal attention given by the online team and professors. Most classes will have a maximum of fifteen students with an average class size of seven to ten students. The Barclay Online Student body is made up of students of all ages ranging from recent high school graduates to retirees. At times, campus students elect to take online courses to accelerate their degree path or to add additional classes to their campus schedules. Regardless of your geographical location, whether at home in the United States or abroad, the Online Program can provide a biblically based education that will prepare you for effective Christian life, service, and leadership.

  • 03 January, 2006 Governor Names Kansas Native to Oversee Credit
    NEWS RELEASE SEP AUG AUG Close 3 captures 28 Help 25 Sep 06 - 27 Aug 08 2006 2007 2008 03 January, 2006 Governor names Kansas native to oversee credit unions Kansas credit union members expect a high level of service and integrity. Ensuring the safety of their deposits is an important job, which is why Governor Kathleen Sebelius has named a Kansas native with extensive experience in the field to serve as state credit union administrator. John P. Smith is set to return to Kansas to once again lead the Kansas Department of Credit Unions, a position he held from 1993 to 1998. “Whether they’re seeking a home or car loan, or looking to build up their savings, Kansans deserve to know their credit union is operating with the utmost integrity. John will ensure the Department of Credit Unions continues to look out for the best interests of credit union members,” said Sebelius. “Plus, it’s always great to be able to bring a Kansan back to his home state.” The Kansas Department of Credit Unions protects Kansas citizens from undue financial risk by overseeing Kansas credit unions to ensure sound operation and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Subject to Senate confirmation, Smith will serve a four-year term. Smith returns to Kansas from Missouri where he has served as director of the Missouri Division of Credit Unions since 1999. Prior to his previous tenure as administrator of the Kansas Department of Credit Unions, he was director of the Wesley Employees Credit Union in Wichita from 1970 to 1993.

    Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius - Press Release For Immediate Release Nicole Corcoran, Press Secretary January 4, 2007 785.368.8500 Governor requests Presidential Disaster Declaration for 44 Kansas counties affected by winter storms; Agriculture Declaration also requested Upon surveying storm damage in the affected areas of the state and meeting with local emergency management officials, Governor Kathleen Sebelius signed a letter to the White House late yesterday, requesting federal assistance to help Kansans recover from the effects of the winter storms that hit the state Dec. 28 through Dec. 31, 2006. The impacted area includes 44 counties. Sebelius was joined by Congressman Jerry Moran, Adjutant General Tod Bunting, Agriculture Secretary Adrian Polansky and Regional FEMA Director Dick Hainje during her visits to Colby, Ulysses and Satanta. “The impact of this storm has been tremendous and it is critical we receive federal support to help our state recover from the significant financial losses left behind.” said Sebelius. “We will be assessing the damages and financial impact the storm has taken once the critical needs have been addressed.” Governor Sebelius has also requested U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns to declare the same counties agricultural disaster areas to help minimize economic losses livestock producers affected by the storm. Sebelius is seeking the declaration in an effort to make livestock producers eligible for financial assistance, should it be made available by USDA. “There are 3.7 million head of cattle worth an estimated $3.4 billion in the 44 counties hardest hit by this winter storm,” Sebelius said. “Averting and recovering from widespread livestock casualties is important to our state’s economic stability and the well-being of our livestock producers.” The storm has made it temporarily impossible for some livestock owners to get feed to their cattle.
