In the News Walden community members are making news. It was something I always wanted to do. I decided that it would be easier to make a difference teaching kids like me [with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder and other learning challenges]. I like this even better because I can help even more kids. Greg Johnson, a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) student with a specialization in Administrator Leadership for Teaching and Learning, discussing his motivation for getting involved in special education in an Aug. 1, 2009, article in the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, Lockport, N.Y. I am very grateful for the opportunity I had to serve with the men and women of the 106th Rescue Wing and their families during this time of war for our nation and state. Their service and sacrifice went far beyond what was expected, and I will always remember what they did so that others may live. Michael Canders, a Ph.D. in Applied Management and Decision Sciences graduate, on leaving command of the 106th Rescue Wing to assume command of an overseas Air Expeditionary Group, in a press release from the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs. I want to shed light on issues facing children. Its important for parents to be equipped with the right tools and resources in order to protect their children and allow them to reach their full potential. Wendy Halverstadt, a B.S. in Psychology student with a specialization in Preparation for Graduate Studies, in an article she wrote on Examiner.com about motherhood and furthering her career. I realized that my success was up to me. There is a chance of minimizing the effects of drug addiction in Baltimore, but it will take a strong community effort that involves law enforcement, educators, medical professionals, legislators and community residents.
Michael Murrell, a Ph.D. in Public Health student with a specialization in Community Health Promotion and Education, in an article on Examiner.com. [We] saw a real need in the community for infant and toddler care and I finally decided to open a center to help fill that void. I feel a great responsibility to give [children younger than three years] opportunities to explore and learn about their world. Tatiana Cantrell, a Ph.D. in Education student with a specialization in Early Childhood Education, in an article on opening an infant and toddler care center in downtown Willits, Calif., for the Aug. 19, 2009, edition of The Willits News. [W]e can learn so much from the younger set. We have to stop dictating and start listening. The most important message is to avoid stereotyping and to embrace the gifts each generation has to offer. Geneva Craig, a 2004 Ph.D. in Health Services graduate, in an article on generational differences in nursing published in Johns Hopkins Medicines Dome. The group offers education and support.
Kim Rogers, a MS in Nursing (MSN) graduate with a specialization in Leadership and Management, discussing a newly formed breast cancer support group she is leading at Three Rivers Health, Three Rivers, Mich. I really want to help the students who are struggling in traditional schools.
Sameera Abdulaziz, a Ph.D. in Psychology student with a specialization in School Psychology, in an Aug. 20 article in The Oregonian on her plans to open River City Academy in fall 2010. The school would serve a select student population, including those with neurological differences such as autism and attention deficit disorder, and combine academics with therapeutic intervention to help students make decisions and learn how to interact with others. There [are] a lot of great things happening in education, and theres a lot that still could get better. I was having to teach kids to read faster and put words into blanks, but that is teaching kids to take tests, not learn. Malinda Daniel, a Ph.D. in Education graduate, discussing her new book, Fallacy or Truth: The State of American Education Today (Highway, 2009), in an Aug. 31 article in The Lawrence Journal-World, Lawrence, Kan. Im doing this to thank America and honor the troops who protect her. This walk is hard, but compared to [the troops] sacrifice, its nothing and this walk is dedicated to them.
Sinh Tho Nguyen, a Ph.D. in Psychology student, in an Aug. 31 article in the Big Spring Herald, Big Spring, Texas, on his journey across the country on foot in honor of U.S. military personnel.
