    A STUDY OF THE IDENTIFICATION OF CORE CONTENT OF TECHNICAL COURSES IN THREE ALLIED HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES Peggy Ann Bensman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1975 BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY il ABSTRACT The study was undertaken to determine if there were a common core of content included in the technical courses of dental hygiene programs at the certificate or associate degree level and nursing and radiologic technology programs at the associate degree level. The study also ascertained whether there were possible additions or deletions to content that was being taught in these programs. The information was obtained through a questionnaire survey which was sent to the directors of all of the three types of programs in the United States. Five levels were used to determine the amount of emphasis placed on each item of content. Two cores of common con­ tent were identified: core A which included content on which 75% or more of the respondents placed average or greater emphasis and core B which included content on which 51% or more of the respondents placed average or more emphasis . Thirty-two items of content were analyzed as to whether they were common to two or three of the programs under investigation. The findings revealed that seventeen items of content were common to the three programs at the core A level and twenty-three at the core B level. Six were common to two programs at the core A level and eight at the core B level.

We came together as scholars from diverse disciplines and research backgrounds with a common interest in the mission of Mercy education and an exchange of ideas, information, and methodologies. We gathered in the first Mercy classroom in Mercy International Centre and at Glendalough—a fifth century monastic settlement renowned for wisdom and learning. With these shared interests and in these settings laden with meaning, we did the work of the Roundtable. The following papers offer a glimpse of the richness that flows from such common purpose and common inspiration. 5 Contents 6 Sustainability in Higher Education: A Marriage of Necessity and Mercy Mission Tracy K.

  • 2016 GIVING REPORT As We Reflect on the Success of 2016 and Look Ahead, We Are Grateful for the Collective Efforts of All Who Helped Cultivate Generosity This Year
    2016 GIVING REPORT As we reflect on the success of 2016 and look ahead, we are grateful for the collective efforts of all who helped cultivate generosity this year. This year our donors gave 11,000 grants—a record!—to 2,349 nonprofits. And we opened 154 new donor accounts, which helps further expand our reach. With more than $1 billion in assets, we are now the 15th largest community foundation in the country, according to CF Insights. While these numbers are impressive, our biggest successes are reflected in the relationships we continue to build across our community. In 2016, we worked to deepen our impact throughout the region. We launched The Landscape, a community indicator project that uses publicly available data to gage how the Omaha metro is faring in six areas community life. This project reaffirms our commitment to meeting the community’s greatest needs, while expanding the breadth and depth of knowledge we offer. The Landscape is a space where each of us can dig deeper and learn about this community beyond our own unique experience; our hope is that this project helps inform our own work, and the efforts of our many partners and collaborators across the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. Each and every day these partners—our board, staff, the area’s nonprofit sector, and our family of donors—are driven to make this community a better place for all. Together we seek to inspire philanthropy that’s both big and small—whether it’s a new $10 donation given during Omaha Gives!, a leader influenced through our Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, or a donor that witnesses the tangible impact of their substantial gift.
