Regional Opportunity Initiatives (ROI) has been awarded an $85,000 grant from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s STEM Teacher Recruitment Fund. ROI is among 16 organizations and colleges awarded grants in the program’s fifth round of funding to support programs that recruit, prepare, place, and retain educators in underserved STEM classrooms and high-need school districts.
 
ROI will utilize this grant funding to enhance its STEM Fellows program in the Indiana Uplands region and expand it to include middle school educators.
 
 “The Indiana Uplands is fortunate to have an abundance of career opportunities in STEM fields,” said ROI Vice President of Talent Development Michi McClaine. “But we know that early interventions in STEM learning are crucial to getting students interested and keeping them engaged in STEM through middle school and beyond. ROI is grateful to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education for this opportunity to grow and enhance the STEM Fellows program. Not only will it benefit educators, students, and school districts, the STEM Fellows program is creating a pipeline of competitive STEM talent that will enable our industry sectors and our region to prosper long into the future.”

Just a few years later, a surge in growth led to hiring more staff and serving practices in all 50 states. The company proudly continues on the strong foundation that was built by St. John and May.

Now helmed by their niece, Alex St. John, the company continues to positively influence patient care across the country. Since its creation, SJA has made thousands of physician placements and is the industry leader in many physician specialties.

The Salvation Army Announces Red Kettle Campaign Kick Off

10/26/2021

0 Comments

 
The Salvation Army will begin its annual Red Kettle Campaign on November 17 with their 15th annual Red Kettle Kick Off event. Due to the continued presence of COVID-19, the event will be held virtually instead of at the Convention Center.

Each year, individuals and businesses form teams to compete on raising the most funds to get the Red Kettle Campaign started. Teams collect donations from family, friends and business associates in their online kettle.

“Anyone wishing to help in this way can go to “salarmy.us/kko2021” and create their own team. Then all they do is send their team link to all their contacts and help The Salvation Army raise needed funds for Christmas and to keep their programs going in 2022,” said Captain Gordon Hoag, local Salvation Army Administrator. The team that raises the most will be recognized with a traveling trophy with their team name engraved on it.
