The Chicago School of Professional Psychology Produces 'Change Makers'

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

The next generation of mental health professionals - some 275 “change makers” were awarded master’s and doctoral degrees last Friday at two commencement ceremonies for the Washington, DC campus of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. The graduates enter a profession dealing with severe shortages at a time when experts say as many as one-in-five people in this country suffer from a mental disorder, and only half of those who need help can get it. In addressing the graduates, Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy.D. President of The Chicago School, said “I hope that your time as a Chicago School student has lit a fire within you – a fire to provide empathetic support for those in need. I urge you to follow your passion for service as far as you can and to light the way for others.” Joining Dr. Nealon in awarding diplomas was Dr. Donald Schultz, Ph.D, Chief Academic Officer of The Chicago School and Dr. Thelma Day, Ph.D., recipient of an honorary degree for her contributions as a counselor-educator, organizational leader and college professor. One of two student speakers was Dr. Akshaya Parthasarathi, Ph.D., a data analyst at the federal Office of Minorities and Women Inclusion, tasked by the U.S. Congress to develop policies to ensure equitable treatment of all by the nation’s financial institutions. She shared her story as an international student who is grateful to her professors and fellow students. “What looked like a distant dream for a girl from India, to study abroad in an institution like this, was made possible because of each of you. Accepting me as I am--allowing me to be different--has let me grow into a global citizen with varied experiences and stories in my pocket,” she said. “My goal is to share these experiences with people of the world, to show the power of community, and the success one can achieve when people let you be you.” Another student speaker, Dr. Bethany Patterson, Ph.D., serves as clinical director at Helianthus Positive Behavior Supports, provider of counseling services to children and families in Virginia and North Carolina. She told her story, as she sought an institution that would support her role as a military spouse and mother of three. “I needed a school that was supportive and respectful of the military lifestyle because I had unique needs,” she said. “I found a place where the learning environment is optimized by active learners with diverse cultures,” she said. “Today I embody The Chicago School’s values of innovation, service, and community-- I am giving back by creating a space to encourage other military spouses to further their education.” The Chicago School serves a majority minority student body in which two of three students identify as individuals of color. The 43-year old non-profit institution has more than 6,000 students enrolled in 30 degree and certificate programs. About The Chicago School of Professional Psychology: Integrating theory with hands-on experience, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology provides education rooted in a commitment to innovation, service, and community for thousands of diverse students across the United States and globally. Founded in 1979, the nonprofit, regionally accredited university now features campuses in iconic locations across the country (Chicago, Southern California, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Dallas) and online. To spark positive change in the world where it matters most, The Chicago School has continued to expand its educational offerings beyond the field of psychology to offer more than 30 degrees and certificates in the professional fields of health services, education, counseling, business, and more.

THE INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AT UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY SENDS OUT CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ONEJUSTWORLD AWARDS

The Institute for Social Justice

The Institute for Social Justice (TISJ) at Union Institute & University recently launched OneJustWorld.org, an online community that seeks to mobilize individual and group action for measurable impact. Today TISJ announces a call for nominations for the OneJustWorld Awards. Award winners will be announced in February in conjunction with the World Day of Social Justice. This will be the first year of these awards, which will recognize and honor those who have demonstrated their leadership and commitment to putting social justice into action in the areas of education, economics, environment, health, safety, and social impact. Anyone can submit a nomination to recognize individuals and organizations that have made a measurable and meaningful contribution. Nominations can be made online here. “There are amazing people out there doing amazing work,” said Betsy Martin, TISJ Executive Director. “The OneJustWorld awards are to honor and recognize the courage and persistence of changemakers across multiple areas of society. In order to achieve our goal of a more just world, action must be taken in every community; including workplaces, organizations, and neighborhoods. In addition to the awards, OneJustWorld is helping to facilitate the pursuit of social justice through community action by setting up regional Community Action Councils across the country to identify and bring together as many current and aspiring leaders and changemakers as possible. These awards and Action Councils are ways that TISJ can support change leaders, honor them, and celebrate voices with impact.” While much of the interaction with OneJustWorld.org is online, reaching communities in-person is equally important. Community Action Councils (ACs) are being organized in four regions: South, West, Northwest, and Midwest/East. The first four meeting cities will be selected as the launching point for their region and anyone interested in becoming an Action Council member outside of the designated city, but within the region are also invited to join in on the city’s initial meeting. Meetings will be offered both in-person, at Union Institute & University Centers, and on Zoom. The first meeting will be on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 in Cincinnati Ohio for the Midwest and East regions. Hollywood Florida will kick off the South region. Los Angeles California will host the Southwest and Sacramento California, the Northwest. These meeting dates are listed on the website. Another way to add your perspective to the community is through OneJustWorld’s “Share My Voice” campaign. Community members are invited to listen to and share the stories and voices regarding all aspects of social justice: What have been your challenges or how have you put social justice into action? Who has inspired you or what have you done to inspire others? What does one just world look like to you? OneJustWorld would like everyone to “Share Your Voice.” Adding your voice via “Share Your Voice” is quick and easy. Simply go to the website and set up an account using your email address. Once you’re logged in, add your voice by entering your response in the box below “What Does One Just World Look Like to You?” You can type in a response and also share images or video. OneJustWorld offers multiple access points to information and engagement, including: Resource Center: Project, contract, supplier, and employment matching Digital Library: Videos, podcasts, webinars, articles, papers, and research Coffee Chat: Online coffee, conversations, and networking Virtual Community: Physical and digital work and meeting spaces Book Circle: Social justice book sharing, discussions, and author events OneJustWorld is committed to sharing an abundance of opportunities to hear Voices with Impact.

" This amendment illustrates the confidence of Synergy shareholders in the long-term value of Volatus Aerospace, " said Abhinav Singhvi, CFO of Volatus Aerospace. “This addition in our definitive agreement eliminates significant dilution based on current share price and protects the interest of our existing shareholders.” Full amended news release is attached below: Volatus Aerospace Adds Over 500,000 km of Oil & Gas PipelineRight of Way Surveillance with Acquisition of Synergy Aviation Ltd. Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV:VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced on October 13, 2022 that it has signed an arm's length definitive agreement dated Oct 12, 2022, to acquire Alberta-based Synergy Aviation Ltd.

Founded in Alberta in 2014, SynergyAviation is an industry leaderin aerial surveillance, pipeline integrity monitoring, and specialized geomatics, patrolling and inspecting more than 500,000 KM of pipeline right of way stretching from the coast of British Columbia to the Manitoba/US border. The company provides Canada’s largest oil & gas producers and pipeline operators with uninterrupted, consistent and highly detailed right-of-way integrity data. “Pipeline inspection, much like other long linear inspection requirements, has traditionally been completed using crewed helicopters and small fixed wing aircraft,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Leveraging Synergy’s oil & gas presence combined with our existing pipeline operations in Ontario will allow us to introduce the power of innovative drone solutions to meet regulatory compliance and asset management requirements with improved efficiencies and a material reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.” There are nearly 5 million kilometers of oil & gas pipelinein North America requiring annual inspections and, in many cases, weekly patrols to meet regulatory and asset management requirements,” said Todd Tkach,President of SynergyAviation. “Becoming part of Volatusgives us the added geomatics capabilities, market reach, and the opportunity to disrupt traditional methods in this sector.

8 Best "Write My Essay For Me" Websites: Pay Someone To Do It For Cheap

Genuine Papers

It takes more than sheer grit to achieve success. After all, success is a function of a well-planned endeavour. You do not rush into it. You do not scurry into it. You do not stumble upon it. It does not happen to you by chance. Instead, it is a result of a well-thought-out plan and execution. And in this execution, there is a clear understanding of personal abilities, strengths, and weaknesses directing the approach of such a success plan. The ants know this. So, there is a clear-cut division of labour amidst them. And that is why they have thrived for so long despite the harsh climatic conditions they have had to live through. Thus, it only makes sense that for you to achieve such excellence as you so desire in your academic pursuits, you must engage the services of people who know their onions on the task. Essay writing is one of the things many students need help with. Some of them cannot do it. But is that a bad thing in and of itself? No. Why? Because many life contexts determine different life approaches. An immigrant undergraduate student who juggles three jobs would have little or no time to sit down before a computer and type long (or even short) essays. The same goes for a family man who, after a long day in school, still has to fend for his children at home. At the same time, some students do not have a strong command of the English language and can not write coherent essays. So, should these folks suffer in their academic pursuits because of their life situations? Definitely not.

Little wonder many review sites commend them for their outstanding customer service and support. They are keen on helping out their clients with the slightest inconvenience.

However, with factors such as academic difficulty level, the grade of the writer writing your essays, plagiarism reports, VIP service etc., the price of your order is likely to increase significantly. For discounts, Studdit likes to add to the overall experience of its customer by including 25% off on their first order. #3. EssayPro EssayPro is a pro essay writer because of the speed of their turn-ins. They have a reputation for sending in essays within a short period. Once you stipulate your deadline, they get your task to you at said time. And they do this for a wide range of essays that you can think of. These include term papers, dissertations, research papers, personal statements, admission essays, theses, etc. All these are essays written for high schoolers as well as for persons who are presently in tertiary institutions. And guess what? Persons in postgraduate studies are also not exempted from their league of clientele. You should know that EssayPro is a sucker for excellence. And that shows in the rigorous process they take their writers through they are finally admitted. These procedures are not to misuse them. Rather, they are duty-of-care processes that separate the wheat from the tares. Thus, only the best of the best writers, who are culture-fit for consistent delivery of quality work despite the huge workload, are retained. There is always the ID and Diploma verification stage for the writers they recruit. Then, they are asked to send in samples of their previous works. Further, test jobs are assigned to them before they are admitted into a full-time hire, howbeit probationary phase. In contrast, placing an order on the EssayPro site is an entirely different ballgame. It is simple and seamless as opposed to the recruitment scheme for most of their writers. You first fill out the order form. This usually includes details about the length of the essay, the topic, and the academic level of such an essay. At this stage, you can surely provide them with samples you have worked on before if you have. This is so the writer can tailor the essay to your writing style.

Their market pricing is also quite fair, and you can get an excellent essay for just $10.8. But like other sites, the delivery stipulations, whether high school or undergraduate level writing, would also determine the increase or decrease of the price slide bar. #4. PaperHelp PaperHelp is truly that “write my essay” site that you can pay to get your writing needs to be sorted for you. Why? There are a couple of reasons that have informed this claim. And a major of them is the quality of their essays. It's sterling. Most of their previous and current customers have testified of their special deliveries.

Another feature of their services that stands them out is the referral program they run. This involves students and others sharing their services with people outside the platform.

This is a low price for many students, which is affordable for them to pay.

Questions & Answers What is an essay? An essay is a form of writing that talks about a specified topic. It could give an overview of the topic or niche-down and discuss sub-topics in such fields. Essays could also relate to taking a side on a given topic. This is usually referred to as an argumentative essay. And here, you approach it from a "for" or "against" perspective. That is, you could argue for such a topic or offer points against it. The other forms of essays include discursive, persuasive, narrative, and descriptive essays. Moreover, one thing is consistent with all these types of essays. And that is a clear outline of thoughts, whether prosaically or argumentatively. Further, most essays are academic. And they are usually regarded as a yardstick for academic performance.

Comcast California Hosts Inaugural Digital Equity Summit in San Francisco

Comcast California

Today, Comcast hosted a Digital Equity Summit in San Francisco. The gathering brought together more than 100 executives, program directors, community leaders, public officials, and other key stakeholders from around the Golden State working to close the digital divide and create digital equity. The goals of the summit were to highlight best practices; learn more about the current and future needs of vulnerable communities; and identify challenges, solutions, and available funding resources. The summit also served as a moment to celebrate the work of Comcast’s valued digital equity partners across California, who worked throughout the pandemic to help drive Internet adoption and provide digital literacy training for those in need. In addition, the company announced it has exceeded its expanded goal to launch 1,250 Lift Zones before the end of this year. Comcast’s award-winning Lift Zones program provides free WiFi access in neighborhood community centers nationwide. Since September 2020, Lift Zones have enabled nearly 6 million free WiFi user sessions for students, veterans, seniors, and adults. According to a consumer survey of users who visited a Lift Zone: 4 in 10 report they would not have had Internet access without the Lift Zone. 50% of low-income households in major Comcast markets are within walking distance of a Lift Zone. 58% of Lift Zone users strongly believe that the site helps them achieve more. 58% report the Lift Zone reduces stress with studying, working remotely, and/or managing tasks online. 56% say the Lift Zone is critical for success at school, work, and/or managing tasks online. 92 percent of sites report that being a Lift Zone helps them increase digital equity in their communities. The Lift Zones program is part of Comcast’s Project UP – a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and build a future of unlimited possibilities. Backed by a $1 billion commitment, Project UP will help reach tens of millions of people with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to succeed in a digital world. “We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity right now to help connect the unconnected,” said Broderick Johnson, EVP of Digital Equity and EVP of Public Policy, Comcast Corporation. “Working together between Comcast, our nonprofit partners, and the state and federal government, we will connect more households to the Internet and help even more people take advantage of critical resources such as the federal Affordable Connectivity Program and digital skills training.” “Comcast’s continued partnership and dedication to our communities have resulted in allowing more students, children, seniors, and families to get connected to the Internet, “said San Francisco Mayor London Breed. “Public-private partnerships like these allow us to ensure that all of our communities have access to services they need to thrive.” Comcast’s Lift Zones were initially created in partnership with city leaders and nonprofit partners to help keep students connected to schools during the early stages of the pandemic. These digital navigators helped countless communities at a time when they needed it the most. Even as students return to their classrooms, Comcast continues to see strong demand for Lift Zones that serve underrepresented populations and offer an array of digital literacy programs, access to online healthcare services, workforce development training, and digital navigator support. “Thanks to Comcast, we’ve been able to connect many of our families to the Internet with high-speed WiFi to support a dynamic learning environment for their children,” said Gloria Corral, President, and CEO of Parent Institute for Quality Education. “Today’s Digital Equity Summit confirms Comcast’s commitment to the communities we serve. I am eager to see how today’s conversation will improve and help support the lives of the children and families.” In addition to the Lift Zone program, which earlier this year won SXSW’s “ People’s Choice Award,” Comcast is proud to participate in the Federal Government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). ACP provides eligible households with a $30/month subsidy that can be applied toward their Internet service. When used to pay for Comcast’s Internet Essentials service, home broadband Internet is effectively free.

Comcast Makes Significant Investments in Fresno, CA to Help Close the Digital Divide

Comcast California

As part of its ongoing commitment to digital equity, workforce development, and work readiness skills, Comcast today announced the launch of a new “Lift Zone” at Saint Rest Baptist Church, surprising 200 families with free laptops, and investing $200,000 to bring digital equity to the Valley. This new Lift Zone will provide free WiFi access, powered by a Comcast Business solution, to help connect youth and their families, seniors, and community members to the Internet so they can fully participate in educational opportunities and the digital economy. With this new location, Comcast has now established 16 Lift Zones in Fresno County—and a total of more than 150 Lift Zones throughout its California service area. Comcast also donated $25,000 to Saint Rest Baptist Church to help create a new computer lab as well as provide digital literacy training to students, families, seniors, and community members within Fresno. Earlier this year, Comcast also invested $1 million to expand its network to Biola, CA, a rural community in Fresno County, along with opening a Lift Zone at the Biola Community Services District. Through these significant investments and supply of reliable WiFi service at multiple educational and community spaces, in addition to homes and businesses, Comcast has helped thousands get online, bringing the Central Valley a step closer to eliminating the digital divide. Additionally, Comcast announced today at an event with tech apprentices a $200,000 investment in Bitwise Impact, a 501(c)(3) to provide paid apprenticeships to learn technology skills and connect to meaningful technology opportunities in the Central Valley. The donation will help these organizations continue their impactful work in Fresno “For years, Comcast has shown its commitment to supporting low-income families and our community by ensuring they have access to an affordable, fast and reliable Internet connection,” said Pastor D.J. Criner, Pastor of Saint Rest Baptist Church. “We’re proud to partner with Comcast on the opening of this Lift Zone and look forward to the positive benefits it will bring to our Saint Rest community.” “Comcast’s significant investment in Fresno will expand workforce development initiatives and shows their commitment to connecting those who have largely been underserved with life changing opportunities in tech,” said Irma Olguin Jr., board member, Bitwise Impact. “Today’s announcement, and continued Comcast support, will increase access to tech training that supports small businesses, creates future leaders and entrepreneurs from individuals who otherwise would not have seen the tech industry as a place for them.” “Our continued partnership with the St. Rest Baptist Church community and Bitwise is part of our constant work here in Fresno, in which we’re striving to advance digital equity and workforce readiness in communities across the Central Valley,” said Broderick Johnson, EVP, Digital Equity and EVP, Public Policy, Comcast Corporation. “The opening of this new Lift Zone and computer lab at St. Rest and our $200,000 donation to Bitwise allows us to support students, seniors and families and provide them with the tools, skills, and resources they need to get connected and achieve their goals.” Today’s announcement and donation is part of Project UP, Comcast’s $1 billion commitment to reach millions of people with the tools, resources, and skills needed to succeed in a digital world.

In California, Comcast has connected more than 1.7 million residents, making it the number one state in terms of overall participation in the Internet Essentials program.
