My name is Chris Donnelly and I need help picking a few more classes. At the beginning of summer my parents and I agreed that I would be attending JCCC this year but recently they changed their minds and said I could come back to KU again this year! The only problem is that I can't remember all of the classes I needed to take this semester. Im currently enrolled in IST 202 and ACCT 200. If you could look at what classes I need to enroll in and let me know that would be great.

How do I site your info? Lun, 07/28/2014
Hello! I have a "lengthy issue" for which I am seeking your advice...... but first of all, I wish to thank you for the work you do. My name is Jacqueline A. Juhl, RDH, MSDH Candidate (double emphasis: Dental Hygiene Education and Dental Public Health). As a graduate student, I learned of your website and have continued to access it for work in my rural community to help form an oral health coalition. I currently teach at downtown Seattle dental hygiene baccalaureate program (quite the commute!) and teach a three part Community Oral Health Series, among other classes. I have encouraged my students to access your site in their course research and have provided them with links to specifics from your site in my PPTs. Thank you all so much for the great work you do!
My issue/question is this: I see such a gap in equity to access to oral health care in our present health care delivery system. Also, as we continue to establish credible oral-system disease interactions, the void in inter-professional oral health knowledge and education has promulgated a lack of oral care for hospitalized patients in our country, a void not seen in the UK and other countries globally. It is now established that the lack of oral care for hospitalized patients negatively impacts health outcomes, can precipitate additional cardio-vascular events, and costs patients thousands of dollars in additional hospitalization days. Together with a small group of "Alternative Practice" dental hygienists in Washington State and with my experience in hospital dentistry, and based on current research of disease processes, I hope to contribute to improving health care outcomes for all, including hospitalized patients. In my future doctoral work, and through other efforts, I hope convince hospital CEOs, Boards, and the public of the need to staff hospitals and emergency departments with advance practice dental hygiene professionals and dental hygienists as they do any other "therapist" as is currently done elsewhere globally. Oral disease prevention through education and skills training for both other healthcare disciplines and patients is essential. Can you advise me how best to convince hospital CEOs and Boards to recognize the evidence and open their minds and doors to this change in our current care delivery system? My alternative practice colleagues and I had begun some grassroots work with individual hospital CEOs and I have begun to broach the subject with my local rural hospital CEO who was a great help during my thesis research on Non-Traumatic Dental Complaint patient Emergency Department utilization. Your work on focus groups and advocacy has inspired me to even come to you with this issue. I hope you can advise me how best I can be a more effect advocate to gather momentum for this greatly needed workforce change which would significantly improve health outcomes and prevent future suffering. Thank you, once again. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Advisor,

I am a graduate student in California and I am writing a thesis that focuses on planning a cultural competency workshop (4-5 hours) for community health workers. I could use guidance on how and where to start. I have been looking for information on how to plan a cultural competency workshop but the information is either dated or difficult to find. Thank you for your time and assistance!

I need your help desperately. I am the secretary of my neighborhood association and my leadership has abandoned me to carry it by myself. I am the last remaining board member of the largest neighborhood association in my city. The association has imploded as a result of a councilman who has manipulated board members which led to the founder of the association want to dissolve the association. City by laws do not permit politicians to use neighborhood associations for political purposes, the problem is the councilman does not care about the city charter and is only interested in advancing himself. Tomorrow I will be having an exploratory community meeting where I will create a forum like environment that will allow the people of the community to provide input about their needs and the shape of the association. My other problem is nobody wants to volunteer to be a part of the board. This too I will be addressing at the meeting tomorrow. I need your guidance on how to address all the matters shared, my goal tomorrow is to engage the community in meaningful dialogue that recognizes the importance of their participation while sending a clear message that we will remain independent of political influence. I have told the councilman that we will not be having any speakers, he informed me then he will be there absolutely be there like it or not. I look forward to your advice and guidance.

Who would like to be involved as a Board Member or Core Team member for a research project that involves a new community health and wellness paradigm system?

The PCORI, Patient Centered Outcomes Research Initiative, grant requires 501(c)3 status to apply. July 24-25 is a free PCORI grant workshop in Washington, DC so I am looking for qualified stakeholders that want to joint venture or Board members that have a passion and high level diverse talents to fine-tune and finish blooming the Wellness Wellness system.

As a Level 2 Humor Academy student through The Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor, I must declare my research project by January 2015.

I have been a sole proprietor and visionary of the Wellness Weavers local to global community health and wellness system concept with a website to try to help others to understand.

I would like to combine the AATH research project and a PCORI grant to activate and research the Wellness Weavers community health and wellness paradigm.

My father passed away after expressing years of emotional support for my mission and concept and left me money to buy a campus of historic buildings to use for the pilot project.

To stretch the money God has blessed me with a series of volunteers that have been homeless and desired to end their cycle of poverty and substance abuse. It has been a symbiotic relationship program that is ready for the next level...more structure, real business people, and those that can engage all the stakeholders to come out of their silos and work efficiently together.

Most communities and families are affected by those issues in some way.

The Wellness Weavers paradigm is based on the principles of Eco-healthy quality early childhood learning and therapeutic humor to integrate health and wellness into a Community Service-Learning system that is reciprocal with other communities in the network.

The health forms and databases for the skills and resources and projects of volunteers and members were created 5 years ago during my Core Public Health course.

I am an "immigrant" of four years to Waterville and to date have not been able to engage local public health, educational, or religious systems to come see the facilities or to dialogue with me about the concept.

It is definitely time to find the Board and Core Team that see the wisdom and potential of the Wellness Weavers paradigm and investment.
They will have strengths in my weaknesses and we will share our passion for peaceful, creative stewardship of our health, our families, our communities, and resources.

If you are inspired to join me in this project or know someone who would be, please contact me to dialogue the best next action steps.

Writing a Grant Application for Funding Mié, 07/09/2014
Good afternoon,
I am writing on behalf of FuseSocial which is a non-profit organization (we say social profit  ) in Wood Buffalo Region that exists to strengthen the capacity of local social profits.
We have found your online tool an amazing resource – so much to take advantage of. Thank you for kindly sharing it.
There is another challenging area that we have encountered with social profits and would like to ask for your advice. Due to non-profit activity specifics, as you certainly know, Human resource management can be very challenging as:
- The level of burnout is high
- Environment can be quite frustrating and challenging
- Clear benchmarks are difficult to achieve.
Keeping this in mind we wanted to ask if you had anything on “Work and life balance”, “Personal leadership and importance of self-care” (that is so often overlooked by non-profit workers), Benchmarking and results measurement in non-profits.

Would be happy to receive and informational tips.
Thank you,
