    2020-21 Application for Participation in the Two-Year College Transfer Grant Program — IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS — Established in 2007, the Two-Year College Transfer Grant Program (CTG) provides an incentive for students to first complete an associate degree at a Virginia public two-year college before transferring to a participating Virginia four- year college or university as a means to reduce the overall cost towards completing a bachelor’s degree. In addition to paying lower tuition charges for their freshman and sophomore years while attending a two-year college, qualifying students may also receive a CTG award once they transfer to the participating four-year institution. To be eligible, the student must (subject to Code of Virginia §§23.1-623-727 and 8VAC 40-150): Be a first-time entering freshman (at any institution) no earlier than fall 2007. Be an undergraduate in-state student (Virginia domicile). Meet selective service requirements. Have received an associate degree at a Virginia two-year public institution. Have a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 for the associate degree. Enroll into a Virginia four-year public college or university or a Virginia four-year private nonprofit college or university by the fall or spring immediately following completion of an associate degree (see list of participating institutions at the bottom of the next page). Enroll full-time into a degree program that is not for religious training or theological education. Have applied for financial aid by completing the federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the four-year institution’s published deadline.

    Farm Safety, Health, and Wellness Resource: Mental Health Case Studies The Montel Family: An Intergenerational Farm Laura Ashley Samuels, Physical Therapy Student, Mary Baldwin University; Hannah Coffey, Occupational Therapy Student, Mary Baldwin University; Haley Adducci, Occupational Therapy Student, Mary Baldwin University; Jessica Wyker, Physical Therapy Student, Mary Baldwin University; Garland Mason, Graduate Research Assistant Department of Agricultural Leadership, Community, and Education, Virginia Tech; Kim Niewolny, Associate Professor and Extension Specialist, Department of Agricultural Leadership, Community, and Education, Virginia Tech These case studies are tools to help extension agents and other health care professionals identify common stressors among the farming community. Our case studies aim to bring awareness to problems Virginia farmers face and to promote appropriate problem-solving in coping with mental health issues. We hope the farming community will utilize these tools to build their knowledge about mental health and the mental health resources available to them. Our goal is to educate farmers, farm families, and extension professionals about farm stress and mental health resources in order to improve mental health within the farming community. We have incorporated discussion questions throughout the case studies to allow readers to practice applying their knowledge of stressors, symptoms, appropriate referrals and treatment strategies. Instructions Read the case study thoroughly. When you get to a superscript in the passage, refer to the corresponding discussion questions located on the right side of the page. Take a few minutes to think about the question and answer it thoughtfully. We suggest you write down your answers and/or discuss them with peers. After you feel that each question has been appropriately addressed, continue reading the case study until you reach another superscript and repeat the processes explained above.

    Mary Baldwin University Staunton, Virginia Chief Operations Officer Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership

    Mary Baldwin University Staunton, Virginia Position Prospectus Chief Operations Officer Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership March 2018 Mary Baldwin University invites nominations and applications for the position of Chief Operations Officer for the Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership (VWIL), a premiere leadership development program. Review of applications will begin immediately, and the position will remain open until filled. Official posting can be viewed at http://www.marybaldwin.edu/business_and_finance/employment. Mary Baldwin University (MBU) Overview Mary Baldwin University (MBU) is a deliberately small, private, coeducational university enrolling 1,761 undergraduate and graduate students. Located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, the main campus sits on 58 hilltop acres in downtown Staunton, Virginia and enrolls about 800 undergraduate residential students. A radical belief in student potential and in the transformative power of the liberal arts and sciences has guided Mary Baldwin University since its founding as Augusta Female Seminary in 1842. Mary Baldwin’s history began with founder Rufus Bailey and what was then a revolutionary idea: that women, like men, should be well educated. A generation later, namesake Mary Julia Baldwin took the reins during the Civil War; afterward her cutting-edge innovations made the institution thrive. This history continues today with students who dare to make a difference, engage in service to their communities, and boldly initiate change in our neighborhood and around the world. Augusta Female Seminary was renamed Mary Baldwin Seminary in 1895 in honor of Miss Baldwin, and became Mary Baldwin College in 1923. On August 31, 2016, the institution became Mary Baldwin University to reflect its growing range of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs.
