    MICHAEL T. BENSON President and Professor of Government Eastern Kentucky University 521 Lancaster Ave Richmond, Kentucky 40475 Tel. 859.622.2101 [email protected] https://president.eku.edu/ Michael T. Benson, D.Phil., is the 13th President of Eastern Kentucky University, a position he assumed on August 1, 2013. He also holds the rank of Professor of Government and teaches within the Department of History as well. In his current role at EKU, Dr. Benson is responsible for more than 17,000 students on three campuses, nearly 2,300 full-time faculty and staff, sixteen Division I athletic teams, and an annual budget in excess of $355 million. EKU enrolls more native Kentuckians than any other institution in the Commonwealth. In 2016, EKU had its highest enrollment ever, and, despite deep cuts to state appropriations, the university has achieved its four best fundraising years in the institution’s history during Benson’s tenure. Since 2013, significant increases in retention and graduation rates have also been realized, and EKU welcomed its best-prepared and most diverse freshman class to campus in fall 2017. The University has doubled its four-year graduation rate in the past eight years and awarded 4,154 degrees this past academic year—the most in its 145-year history. EKU is nearing the end of an aggressive $240 million campus revitalization which is being completed entirely with non-state-appropriated funds. Prior to his chief executive post at Eastern Kentucky, Benson was the 15th president of Southern Utah University, where he helped secure the designation for SUU as the state’s public liberal arts and sciences university; established the Hispanic Center for Academic Excellence; gained admission into the Big Sky Conference for all athletic teams; completed new residence halls, a teacher education facility, and a science and engineering center; and directed the development and implementation of SUU’s largest and most ambitious comprehensive fundraising effort.

    Summer Activity Guide 2017 Cache & Box Elder Counties www.careaboutchildcare.utah.gov Summer Activity Guide 2O17 Cache & Box Elder Counties Summer Activity Guide 2O17 Cache & Box Elder Counties 6510 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322-6510 435-797-1552 or 800-670-1552 www.careaboutchildcare.usu.edu A program of Department of Workforce Services – Office of Work & Family Life, Office of Child Care & Utah State University – College of Education & Human Services, Department of Family Consumer and Human Development. Utah State University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Why Are Summer Activities Important? Seventy -six percent of all Utah school age children 5-12 years old have parents in the work force, creating the potential for many children to be left unattended. Many children are not prepared to be left home alone. Children in self-care are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, be truant from school, experience stress, have poor grades and abuse substances. They are susceptible to feelings of loneliness, fear and boredom. Summer activities are a wonderful way to offer fun, constructive activities to occupy your children’s time. Summer activities can give your children learning opportunities that not only help to ease their boredom, but can also help them become well-rounded, socially capable adults. We, at Care About Childcare - USU, have gathered this list of possible summer activities that may be of interest to you and your children. We hope that you will take the time to talk to your children and help them choose the activities that are best suited to their interests and your needs.
