Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012
From Mansions to Towers: A History of Residence Halls at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
No full textThe construction of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's residence halls has generally followed that of the national trend. The school struggled to find enough funds to build residence halls in the early years. Eventually, student housing was in needed so badly that the school had no choice but to provide housing for the students. In 1947, the Dulany mansion was purchased and remodeled by the school. This building served as the University's first resident hall. Since then, eleven resident halls have been built on campus with one more being planned. Life in these residence halls have changed dramatically over time. In the 1960's, the students protested and eventually the strict rules of in loco parentis faded away. After this, students enjoyed the freedoms of new technologies, relaxed rules, and more professional housing leaders. Today, UW-Eau Claire is a thriving university. UW-Eau Claire has been recognized by many as a top school in the Midwest. Much of the success can be attributed to the residence halls and the happiness of the students. My paper will provide UW-Eau Claire and its students with a cohesive history of the residence halls on campus and will also show how student life has evolved since the University was first established

A graduate employment study of the Computer Network Specialist program at Chippewa Valley Technical College
No full textPlan BThe Computer Network Specialist (CNS) program at Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) was launched in August 1999. CVTC is one of sixteen technical colleges in the Wisconsin Technical College System offering an associate degree-level computer networking program. CVTC’s CNS program had experienced high enrollments during its first two years of existence. Consequently, a large number of trained networking professionals became available for employment within a relatively short time. The main purposes of this study were to identify the degree of success that graduates of the CNS program at CVTC have had in securing program-related employment and to identify the types of duties graduates perform to fulfill their obligations in program-related jobs. To enable the creation of an employment opportunities profile for future CNS graduates, this research also discovered employer names, job titles, salary information, and the degree to which CNS graduates have had to relocate to gain program-related employment. In addition, the research identified professional certifications that CNS graduates either currently hold or intend to obtain. Furthermore, this research determined what additional training needs CNS program graduates have, and if they would return to CVTC to receive that training. The CNS department faculty agreed that a survey of CNS program graduates was an appropriate method of gathering the desired information. At the conclusion of a review of existing literature, a survey instrument was developed and pilot tested with the CNS faculty and the CNS advisory committee. A final survey instrument was developed utilizing the input from the pilot group. The survey was mailed during March 2002 to all 97 persons who had graduated from the CNS program between December 1999 and December 2001. Slightly over half of responding graduates reported employment in jobs related to the CNS program at CVTC. Over 40% of respondents were earning salaries in the range of 40,000. They worked in many different industries; however, educational institutions employed the highest percentage of them. Most respondents were employed within the CVTC district and all reported employment within the upper mid-west region of the nation. The largest percentage of respondents worked under the job title of Computer Support Specialist, however, several other job titles were also identified. The study revealed the duties that graduates were performing in program-related jobs. Respondents were performing duties in the areas of network operating systems/server components, network hardware configuration, network media, network security and protection, client workstations, peripheral devices, help desk and troubleshooting, documentation, and computer usage. Duties related to client workstations and help desk and troubleshooting were performed at higher rates than those duties associated with the other classifications. Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) was the certification held most often, however, over 60% of respondents held no professional computer or networking related certifications. Sixty percent of respondents indicated an interest in testing for at least one professional certification in the near future. The results of this research will help the CNS department maintain alignment with CVTC’s mission statement by ensuring that the CNS program is serving the workforce needs of the information technology (IT) field. The information gathered will support the CNS department’s continued efforts to maintain relevant curriculum offerings utilizing the latest networking technologies and aid the department’s efforts to accurately assess student learning. The data gathered from program graduates will help support department requests for instructional hardware and software to facilitate industry-relevant training. Finally, the information gathered during this research will be used by CVTC counselors and faculty to better advise future CNS program students regarding employment options
