Trustee David Paskach takes a turn hosting the wheel of luck.
Labor Day weekend has arrived and life in the booth is going well! It's warm out today and many fairgoers are walking away from our booth with complimentary UPS fans.
Kathy Grady was here from North Hennepin College answering questions about Minnesota Online. Minnesota Online is a Web site that provides students with online course, program and registration information for the 32 institutions in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.
Visit the Minnesota Online Web site.
Kathy explained that students have to apply to each individual institution to take classes online; however, once accepted, a person can take as many online courses as are offered by the institutions they've been accepted to. She told me that it is good to find out if online courses are best suited for you.
To find out if you are a good candidate for online courses and programs, you can fill out a questionnaire on the Minnesota Online Web site that will help you determine your learning style.
Find out if online learning is right for you.
Today our first responder’s area featured information on disaster survival. Tracy Worsley, the Emergency Preparedness Manager at the Fire/EMS/Safety Center, informed me how important it is to have a set plan in the event of an emergency. He showed me a bin of items that may be helpful in case of an emergency, and also informed me about some useful Web sites that people who want to create their own emergency kit at home can visit.
