Eastern Seeks Toy Nominations for Annual Study

Eastern Seeks Toy Nominations for Annual Study - Press Releases   Search   The Office ofUniversity Relations Eastern Seeks Toy Nominations for Annual Study Posted by Dwight Bachman on January 23, 2013 3:20 PM

Willimantic, CT -- Faculty and student researchers at Eastern Connecticut State University are seeking nominations for the 2013 TIMPANI Toy Study.  This annual study, conducted through Eastern's Center for Early Childhood Education, examines how young children in natural settings play with a variety of toys. 

Faculty and student researchers observe how children play with the nominated toys and rate children's interactions on three subscales: thinking and learning, cooperation and social interaction, and self-expression and imagination. The study provides valuable information to parents and teachers about the types of toys that help children learn, and helps researchers understand how children's play with toys contributes to their overall development.
 
The highest-scoring toys in previous studies have included DUPLO bricks, a toy made by the LEGO Group; Hasbro's Tinker Toys; and Wooden Vehicles and Signs, made by Melissa and Doug, LLC.

Eastern is now seeking nominations of toys to be included in the 2013 study.  Toys may be nominated by parents, grandparents, teachers and others not affiliated with the toy industry.  To nominate a toy, visit www.easternct.edu/cece/timpani.html, or contact the Center for Early Childhood Education at (860) 465-0687.  Nominations must be received by Feb. 1.

ECU POLITICAL SCIENCE CLASS RAISES FUNDS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BACKPACK FOOD PROGRAM

ECU's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students,
faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Members of East Central University’s political science class pose with Brenda Price (holding check, right), a counselor with Homer Elementary School.

- # # # -

A political science class from East Central University recently raised $725 and awareness for children’s hunger.

Dr. Christine Pappas’ Political Science 1113 classes did a service learning project where they purchased 200 orange bracelets that say ‘No Child Should Go Hungry’ and sold them on campus and at ECU football games.

On Nov. 20, approximately 40 students participated in a ‘Day Without Food’ and fasted for up to 30 hours to build understanding for hungry children.

The $725 was presented to Brenda Price, a counselor at Homer Elementary School, to buy additional food for the Homer Backpack Program. Children sign up to take home backpacks full of food each Friday so they can have meals to eat over the weekend.

With the money, Price plans to buy beef jerky and fruit for a holiday treat.

School of Business Maintains Prestigious AACSB Accreditation

With its recent re-accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Eastern Kentucky University’s School of Business has again earned a distinction that less than 5 percent of the world’s business programs can claim.

The five-year re-accreditation covers baccalaureate degree programs in all majors – Accounting, Finance, Computer Information Systems, Insurance, Management, Marketing, General Business, and PGA Golf Management, as well as the School’s MBA options in Accounting, General Business and Integrative Communications.

AACSB International is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees in business and accounting. More than 650 business schools in 45 countries and territories maintain AACSB accreditation.

“Since 1919, AACSB International has been the premier accreditation organization of business programs,” said Dr. Bob Rogow, dean of EKU’s College of Business & Technology. “AACSB accreditation ensures students, parents and employers that EKU’s School of Business provides a high-quality business education based on rigorous international standards. Graduates of AACSB-accredited business programs are recognized worldwide by employers and universities. In fact, some employers only hire graduates from AACSB-accredited business schools. This is important when seeking employment and applying to graduate school.”

EKU’s School of Business has been accredited by AACSB International since 2003.

“Students who study in EKU’s School of Business are assured their professors and curricula are up to date, and that the supporting services provided are appropriate to the School’s mission,” Rogow said. “They should know their education is worth their investment of time and resources and will provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful throughout their lives.”

Robert D. Reid, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International, said: “It takes a great deal of commitment and determination to earn and maintain AACSB accreditation. Business schools must not only meet specific standards of excellence, but their deans, faculty and professional staff must make a commitment to ongoing continuous improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver the highest quality of education to students.”

Rogow credited “the School of Business faculty and staff for all their hard work, the Business Advisory Council for their support of the School of Business and, especially Dr. Rita Davis, associate dean of the School of Business, for helping coordinate the accreditation process leading to reaffirmation.”

He also thanked EKU President Doug Whitlock and Provost Janna Vice for their “continuing support” of the College of Business & Technology.

CHICKASAW NATION GOVERNOR ANOATUBBY TO ADDRESS ECU’S FALL GRADUATES ON DEC. 15

ECU's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students,
faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Central University Communications and Marketing580-559-5650 or 405-812-1428 (cell)

Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby will address candidates for bachelor’s and master’s degrees during fall Commencement ceremonies at East Central University on Saturday, Dec. 15.

The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. in the Kerr Activities Center for 242 candidates for bachelor’s degrees and 102 candidates for master’s degrees.

Anoatubby has served as governor of the Chickasaw Nation since 1987. His effective leadership has led to ongoing growth within the tribe.

When Anoatubby took office as governor, the Chickasaw Nation had only 250 employees. Today, it employs over 12,000. The financial conditions of the tribe have been improved tremendously. Funding for tribal operations has grown exponentially. Tribal assets have grown twentyfold.

His leadership not only spurred the financial growth and success of the Chickasaw Nation, but his influence has also helped preserve the proud history and culture of the tribe. Anoatubby’s efforts have led to a cultural and language renaissance among the Chickasaw Nation, including the construction of the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, a state-of-the-art campus which celebrates the legacy of the Chickasaw people while serving as a supreme learning tool.

In his role as chief executive of the Chickasaw Nation, Anoatubby has made education, jobs, health care, preservation of the environment and business development as priorities in his governorship, all of which have sustained success and growth.

Prior to becoming Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, Anoatubby served as the first Lieutenant Governor from 1979-1987. He has been active in tribal government since 1975. His previous positions include director of tribal health services, director of finance, and special assistant to the governor and controller.

Anoatubby earned his degree in accounting from ECU in 1972. That education coupled with his effective business management skills have made the Chickasaw Nation, the 13th largest tribe in the United States, a model of continuing economic growth and a proud historical and cultural heritage.
