Just completed a webinar called “Student Learning Abroad: What our Students Are Learning, What They’re Not, and What We Can Do about it.” The key take-away is that facilitated reflective learning must be embedded in study abroad programs.
I see that DELO is better positioned to help faculty develop courses in which the study abroad and study away destination as a means to achieve clear learning outcomes.

The new location for the motorcycle range and storage for the class equipment is complete and ready for the first Basic RiderCourse this weekend. The new range is larger, allowing for an additional two students per class. The newly built storage facility includes electricity and lighting, which will make motorcycle maintenance simpler, and the ‘outdoor classroom area’ will allow for some of the classroom components on Saturday and Sunday to be held directly off the range. It will also be a great place to rest during the summer’s hottest temperatures!
Here are some pics of the new site and the bikes arriving at their new home!
What a week the Knicely Center had! Our team pulled together and hosted four simultaneous large events. We hosted the Ed Leadership Doctoral Symposium, the National Geographic KY Geography Bee, the Nanotechnology Symposium, and the KY Study Away Symposium. All events went without a hitch. I want to congratulate the staff of the Knicely Center for pulling this off with smiling faces! Another milestone was also met in that the Ed Leadership Doc Symposium was our very first Conference Coordinating Services event. We teamed with the DELO Marketing folks and designed the look, marketed the event, took the registrations and payment, designed ordered and took delivery of promotional items, manned the registration table, provide and printed the name tags, lanyards, and holders. The services were well received by the clients and plans are under way for next year’s event. Thanks to all!
We’re offering three new American Traveler programs for this summer. Working with the Study Away program leaders, we’ve opened noncredit options as well.

Summer Sessions registration started last week and we are off to a great start! Currently, there are over 2,500 students registered!
Last week, Summer Sessions sponsored registration rallies all across campus at various academic halls to create awareness of summer registration. Summer staff members handed out t-shirts, lemonade, and water. Many students took advantage of this opportunity to ask questions about the Summer Scholarhip.
There are over 1,200 classes available this summer – check TopNet for the latest list of courses.
Continuing Education and the Knicely Center played host to the Ware Boiler University this week, with 15 individuals from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky attending the three-day training.
Ware Boiler University is a hands-on, in-depth program that provides training on boiler operations and maintenance. The program covers safety, inspections, codes and troubleshooting and is designed for anyone involved in the operation or purchasing of boiler equipment.
According to class comments, the information obtained was ”informative” and “top notch.” One participant even said now he’s “not scared I’ll do something that will cause an explosion”!
