Academic Affairs
Business, Management & Administration
Our combined classes of Accounting Operations and Administrative Office Specialist were visited by several spooky characters on Halloween. We also recognized several students who received their certifications for completing OCP’s. Congratulations.
One of our students just completed her job shadowing requirements with United Way. She gave a report to the class on the experience including tips and suggestions for the next students who will be job shadowing.
This week we have invited a member of the Lake County’s Human Resource Department to come and address the students in three programs (Accounting Operations, Administrative Office Specialist and Digital Design). The topic will be finding a job and interviewing tips.
Health Science
The Paramedic students were very pleased to have D.r Paul Banerjee, Medical Director Lake EMS and Medical Director Lake Technical Center EMS Programs, present a special lecture titled Optimizing Outcomes in Cardiac Arrest.
Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that is potentially reversible if treated early. With fast, appropriate medical care, survival is possible. Administering continuous chest compressions, along with early defibrillation, can improve the chances of survival until emergency personnel arrive.
Dr. Banerjee is a nationally recognized speaker presenting his innovative programs and protocols across the nation. He will be presenting Optimizing Outcomes in Cardiac Arrest at the EMS World Conference in New Orleans the first week in November.
Thank you Dr. Banerjee!

Lastly, the Criminal Justice Academy received its third, that’s right third, Perfect Audit from the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission on Thursday at the quarterly commission meeting in Sarasota!! Congratulations to our team for all their hard work and effort.
