Thirty-five student-athletes were selected to the All-MEC Academic Team and 44 more were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the Fall 2018 semester. To be a member of the All-MEC Academic Team, the student-athlete must be a member of the active roster and have a grade point average of 3.70-4.00 in the semester of their championship season. To qualify for the Commissioner’s Honor Roll, a student-athlete must be a member of the active roster and post a grade point average of 3.25-3.69 in the semester of their championship season. The Fall sports included football, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball. 3+3 Agreement Signed with Penn State Law: [ Note: attorney David DeJarnett, with Bowles Rice in Martinsburg, serves on the advisory board. ] Shepherd students now have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree and gain early admission into law school through a new 3+3 accelerated bachelor/J.D. agreement signed with The Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Law. The agreement guarantees that students will be able to use their first year of law school as their final year for the baccalaureate program at Shepherd through a curriculum Shepherd’s Department of Political Science helped develop. The agreement allows exceptional third-year Shepherd undergraduate students to apply for early acceptance into Penn State’s J.D. program. Dr. Tom Segar Awarded State Distinguished Service Award: Dr. Segar, Vice President for Student Affairs, has been awarded the Stella Cooksey Distinguished Service Award by the West Virginia Association of Student Personnel Administrators (WVASPA). The award is given each year to a student affairs professional who has made significant contributions to a West Virginia institution of higher education over an extended period of time. Nominees are evaluated on service to a state college or university and to WVASPA through leadership, committee work, and contributions to the field of student personnel through teaching, administration, or research. High Reliability Institute: Shepherd hosted a meeting with regional and national experts on December 20th to examine the creation of a High Reliability Institute within the Center for Regional Innovation. The initial focus would be in the areas of rural health care systems, health care services delivery for veterans, and the application of high reliability principles and practices to new health care technologies. Also examined was the potential for incorporating high reliability content into Shepherd’s current academic programing. Maxwell Snyder Named Poet-in-Residence, Launches Society for Creative Writing: Dr. Hope Maxwell Snyder, poet laureate of Shepherdstown, is Shepherd’s first poet-in-residence. Snyder, who taught in the Department of English and Modern Languages from 1995-2003, is leading a new initiative, The Society for Creative Writing, which will bring national and international poets and fiction and nonfiction writers to Shepherd to encourage literary dialogue while exposing students to a multicultural writing community. The Society for Creative Writing hosted its first event the evening of February 8th, with a poetry reading featuring Snyder and former Maryland poet laureate Michael Collier. Snyder is also planning a literary festival October 10-13, 2019, which will bring poets and fiction and nonfiction writers from across the country to Shepherd to participate in readings, workshops, question-and-answer sessions, and book signings. Shepherd Student Completes Rural Health Internship: Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) student Karis Nolen, Frederick, Maryland, interned with the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) during the Fall 2018 semester. She is the third Shepherd student to take part in the rural health policy internship program established by Dr. Marcia Brand. Nolen started her career as a clinical nurse in a hospital, but is working toward her D.N.P. with the goal of becoming a nursing leader who can advocate for large groups of people. Business and HPERS Students Work with Harpers Ferry Bolivar Merchants Association: A partnership between Shepherd and the Harpers Ferry Bolivar Merchants Association is giving the merchants new and fresh ideas and students’ real-world experience in business, tourism, and marketing. Two Shepherd classes, one from the College of Business and one from the Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Sport, worked this past semester with the merchants association and some of its members to create marketing plans and plan special events. U.S. Agriculture Under Secretary Visited Tabler Farm: On December 7th, Bill Northey, Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and colleagues visited the Tabler Farm to receive an on-site update on the progress of the Veterans to Agriculture initiative, funded by the USDA. In attendance were Dr. Peter Vila, Director, Veterans to Agriculture Program and Associate Professor of Environmental Studies; Haroun Hallack, Farm Director; Major Tom Willis, West Virginia National Guard; and President Hendrix. Shepherd and Marshall to Provide Services to Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Shepherd and the West Virginia Autism Training Center (WV-ATC), located at Marshall University, have signed a memorandum of understanding that establishes Shepherd as a WV-ATC campus-based satellite site that will provide services to Shepherd students with autism spectrum disorder and training for faculty and staff through the College Program for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Foster Care Training Grant: A $300,000 grant from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources is allowing the Department of Social Work to continue training prospective foster and adoptive parents in a 17-county area of West Virginia. Shepherd’s grant is funded through Title IV-E of the Social Security Act. The Department of Social Work has received the grant each year for 25 years, securing more than $3 million in outside funding support for the program and the University. Drone Services on Contract: The Institute of Environmental and Physical Sciences purchased a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone and a pair of DJI high definition digital video goggles with a grant from the Foundation’s Women Investing in Shepherd (WISH) that can be used to produce aerial marketing videos, complete insurance inspections, or inspect roofs on buildings, as a campus team did recently. Shepherd will offer a drone class during the spring semester to help prepare students for the Federal Aviation Administration pilot exam. Drone services are available on a contract basis to local businesses. Four Transfer Agreements Signed with Lord Fairfax Community College: Shepherd and Lord Fairfax Community College have signed four 2+2 agreements that will give students a seamless transfer from Lord Fairfax to Shepherd in psychology, social work, biology, and sociology.

  • Annual Debt Position 2014
    West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office Fiscal Year 2014 Debt Position Report Including debt information for Fiscal Year 2014 State of West Virginia JOHN D. PERDUE OFFICE OF THE STATE TREASURER JOSH STOWERS STATE TREASURER CHARLESTON, WV 25305 ASSISTANT STATE TREASURER PHONE: 304-558-5000 FAX: 304-558-4097 1-800-422-7498 www.wvtreasury.com My fellow West Virginians, I am proud to present you with the enclosed Fiscal Year 2014 Debt Position Report. This year’s report cover shows a collection of athletic fields from various higher education facilities. Many of these facilities have utilized debt financing for either construction or improvements and renovations. Debt financing is an important tool available to each institution as it strives to build our future generation. Fiscal Year 2014 saw a continuation of a trend toward issuing refunding bonds. The statistics shown in this report indicate that more than 20% of the bonds issued during the fiscal year were for refunding of prior obligations. However, there were new projects financed during the year. For example, West Virginia State University issued a note for $2.7 million for a new athletic complex. This report is intended to outline and report on the bonds and lease obligation issued. It is a report which can provide our state leaders with valuable information when they formulate financing options and opportunities for the citizens of West Virginia. Every state agency, board and commission provides my office with all of its outstanding debt information; however, this report is not audited. Also, please be aware that at the time of this publication Concord University, Parkway Authority, and Shepherd University did not file a debt update for June 30, 2014.
