        Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School & Academy will host an Open House Sunday, Nov. 6, from noon-3 p.m.
        “Open House is a chance for new families, as well as the community, to meet our students, watch performances from our band, and learn about athletes and clubs,” said Kevin Foos, Cardinal Stritch’s Admission and Enrollment Manager.
        Prospective students and families are encouraged to attend and inquire about academic coursework, college credit options, campus ministry, fine and performing arts, eSports, athletic programs and clubs, and to experience the school’s outdoor classroom and courtyard with private campus tours led by a student and faculty member.
        Open House attendees will also learn about the new World Language Immersion Program, which enables students in grades 7-12 to self-select from 25 global languages to study.
          The Cardinal Stritch Finance Department will also be available to share scholarship and tuition assistance   opportunities available.
        Foos noted that Cardinal Stritch strives to partner with all families who desire a high level of education and that 95% of students receive some sort of tuition assistance.
        Visiting students will be able to register to be a “Cardinal for A Day,” a preview program is which pairs prospective students with a current student with similar interests.
          Registration for the High School Placement Test, an admissions requirement for Toledo area Catholic schools, will be available for non-Catholic school students. Scholarships are awarded based on test scores.

Scholars in Aging Program
application deadline nears

        The Ohio Department of Aging (ODA), in conjunction with the Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education (OAGE), is accepting applications for the 2022-2023 Ohio Scholars in Aging program.
        For the past decade, ODA and OAGE have teamed up to offer the Ohio Scholars in Aging program for undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled in an accredited educational institution in Ohio. Participants benefit from the opportunity to learn about aging-related policymaking, establish professional contacts, and gain career knowledge and skills in the field of aging by completing an internship or a community project, attending ODA and OAGE events, making a presentation for state leaders on aging, and more.
        The program stipend has been doubled this year. Participating students who complete all program requirements will each receive $2,000.
        “Seniors are the fastest-growing age group in Ohio. Now is the time to increase our engagement with our state’s best and brightest minds and allow them to use their skills and innovative ideas to help older Ohioans,” said ODA Director Ursel J. McElroy. “Ohio Scholars in Aging provides a unique opportunity for us to help shape tomorrow’s policymakers and leaders, while using their insights to help others.”
        The program is free and open to emerging professionals in a variety of careers. These can include students of nutrition and allied health sciences, city and regional planning, gerontology, social work, or other relevant focus areas.
        Ten students will be selected from the pool of applicants to participate in the program.
        Applications are due by Friday, Nov. 4.
        A survey of the students who participated in the Scholars in Aging program last year showed that 40% have already been hired to work in the aging network, while 80% said their involvement in the program influenced their career decision in some way. Additionally, 90% reported they were “highly satisfied” with their experience.
        Each participant must work on their internship or project for a total of at least 45 hours. In addition, participants must attend three ODA meetings, attend an all-day experience at their local Area Agency on Aging (AAA), and prepare a presentation for a Project Poster Session at the annual OAGE Conference.

Organizations will also be able to create volunteer events and opportunities, communicate with volunteers and manage volunteer participation all on one platform. Additionally, BGSUserves can be used for event and volunteer management with existing regional volunteers.
        “We are excited to announce this new initiative and grow its partnership with organizations in Bowling Green and Northwest Ohio,” said Kendra Lutes, assistant director of the Marvin Center for Student Leadership and Civic Engagement. “As part of this new initiative, we invite any interested community organizations to reach out for more information and to take advantage of this new opportunity.”
        BGSUserves is managed by BGSU and contracted with GivePulse, a national company known for its support of volunteer management and community services.
