The unique opportunities for massage therapy students at Globe University - Wausau continued throughout Fall quarter 2014. Recently, a graduate of Globe University - Wausau’s massage therapy program visited the special populations class to share her experience as a graduate working in the field, and the incredible insight she has gained from working with a very special client.
Massage therapy graduate Lori Hindman demonstrates working with a disabled client
Lori Hindman is an LMT with her own massage therapy business - Healing Touch from Heaven, LLC, in Mosinee, Wisconsin. One of the reasons Lori pursued massage therapy as a career is because of her strong desire to help her disabled brother and others facing similar challenges. In her practice, Lori focuses primarily on clients with disabilities. Lori’s brother has been in a wheelchair for 20 years.
Lori and her brother visited our special populations class to share their insights about the challenges and benefits of massage for the disabled client.
Observing the communication between Lori and her brother while moving to and from the massage table made an impression on the class. Holly Rajski said, "Before this demonstration, I could only imagine the thought and planning it takes to assist someone onto the massage table from a wheelchair. This demonstration showed us the importance of proper body mechanics on the part of the therapist and the importance of shared communication throughout the transition. It’s also important to think outside the box; not all clients in wheelchairs are going to share the same disabilities and we will have to be creative in finding a solution to fit the needs of each person."
After the demonstration, the class practiced by role playing both the massage therapist with a disabled client and taking the role of the disabled client. This portion of the class definitely made an impact on these students.
Jolene Kinney said, "When I was in the wheelchair being assisted, it really made me understand how difficult not being able to use your legs would be. When I had to assist the disabled client, it also made me have a better understanding of how difficult it can be for the client, and that as the massage therapist, we have to do everything possible to make them feel comfortable and make it easier on them."
Hattie Mallek observed, "I had a bit of an advantage when it came to understanding the point of view of a disabled client. There was a time about four years ago when I didn’t have very controlled use of my lower body after a surgery on my lower back. I had to rely on someone to help me in and out of bed and to turn over. For a brief time, I experienced what it was like to need that extra help. I knew what it was like for my body to not function like it was supposed to. Even with this experience, I can only imagine what my life would be like if I lost the mobility in my lower body permanently. In a small way, this role play helped everyone see how different life is with a physical disability."
Lori and her brother also talked about the benefits of massage for the disabled person. Through their insight, the class was able to understand how beneficial it is for a disabled person like Lori’s brother to have regular massage therapy. Hattie noted, "With Lori and her brother sharing their experiences and thoughts about the treatments, we were able to understand just how important massage is to a disabled client. Massage therapy can make all the difference in the world to them. Having a physical disability puts so much extra stress on the body, and having a lack of mobility can quickly lead to a buildup of additional issues in the body. Because of this, the work we do as massage therapists can be vital to the quality of life of a disabled client."
The class agreed that meeting Lori and her brother and learning from their experience was something that would certainly help them as they prepare for their careers as massage therapists. Maurice Steffens stated this simply when he said, "We learned some very valuable information in this class. I am very grateful for this presentation; it was inspiring and we learned some necessary concrete material."
Hattie and Jolene agreed. Hattie continued, "I definitely understand the importance of this experience we had in class. If anyone can benefit from massage therapy, it is someone with a physical disability." Jolene added, "All clients are different and will need different assistance. Being able to always think about what will be most beneficial to my client will help me to be able to treat them most effectively and assist them in ways that are comfortable for them."
Lori enjoyed the experience as well. She said, "Being able to provide this kind of help to people like my brother is why I chose this career. I know that I am able to really make a difference in the quality of life for my clients. I am glad to be able to share some of the experience I have with the students, and I hope they will find this kind of satisfaction in their careers."

"Tonight, I will focus on beginnings," said Laurie Anne Caamal, Globe University-Madison West graduate.
Completing one part of the journey and starting a new journey—all in one night. Let’s celebrate our fall 2014 graduates!
Inspiring and motivating speeches were recently given by our graduate speakers from the Madison East and Madison West campuses.Globe University-Madison West Graduates
Joy, laughter and tears were spread throughout the audience. Hearing the obstacles that were overcome and the journeys that led them to becoming Globe University alumni was nothing short of amazing.
Madison East speaker Terkeysa Patterson, a graduate of the medical assistant program, spoke about her journey, quoting C. S. Lewis: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."Globe University-Madison East Graduates
It set the atmosphere for graduation.
"Forcing myself to get up every day to go to a job because I have to pay bills. Now Globe University has changed my life for the good of myself and my family, and I have come so far in my life," Terkeysa said. "I had something to prove to myself and to the people that wanted to see me succeed. I just want to let everyone know that no matter what life throws at you, your setback is a setup for a come up."
Madison East speaker Whitney Ruda, a graduate of the paralegal program, spoke about overcoming your past and how to not let that ruin your future.
"As a teenager, I made some reckless choices. I was incarcerated for four years at the age of 20. Shortly before enrolling at Globe University, I started working for Pelliterri Waste Systems, a company that, thankfully, believed in second chances," Whitney said. "After learning about networking at Globe, at Pelliterri’s last annual company Christmas party, I approached one of the owners and spoke to him about my goals. Later, he offered to create a position to specifically to deal with contracts. I’m proud to say I began my current position as the contracts coordinator for Pellitteri Waste Systems."
She continued talking about her story and overcoming obstacles.
"There was a time when I had lost all faith in myself. I honestly believed it would never get better, that I would never be better," she said. "But right now, in this moment, I know that no matter what your past struggles are, no matter how you’ve been judged, no matter if you’ve ever lost sight of who you are or who you want to be, with faith, hope and a lot of determination you can overcome and be everything you were ever meant to be."
Laurie Anne Caamal, Madison West speaker and admissions representative for the campus, graduated from the business administrative program and shared her path to becoming a Globe graduate.
"Tonight I was going to focus my time on rising above obstacles. But graduates, you have already done that. Congratulations! Instead, tonight I am going to focus on beginnings. Graduates, do you remember the first time you stepped into Globe University? Do you remember the beginning of this journey?" she asked. "My ‘beginning’ was a pending divorce and the need to secure a better job to financially support two children. I could not find meaningful full-time employment—even with years of administrative experience and owning my own business, because I had an incomplete degree and an employment gap in my resume due to taking time to raise my children. I was working yet another part-time job and facing heavy financial issues when I saw the commercial on TV for Globe University. I made the call. My next beginning was my first quarter at Globe. We have all been through things that have made it tough to continue and we have all made it to the other side—not to the end, but to the beginning."
Congratulations to our December 2014 Madison Globe University graduates!

Our campus offers in-demand career fields such as medical assisting and veterinary technology . Our students are offered a variety of classes to help them become valuable employees. Students need to be well prepared for a competitive job market and high demand workforce in today’s economy.
In order to gain more insight into the needs of our community, Campus Director Aimee Miritello hosted a Workforce Development Roundtable on campus on Thursday, December 18th. Six participants from the community attended the round table event, including employers from Avera, Goodwill, Citibank, and the City of Sioux Falls. Topics of discussion ranged from the state of the current workforce in Sioux Falls to what skills employers are looking for in potential employees.
Our staff gained valuable insights from these employers about what they’re hoping to see in future employees. Those looking for jobs in Sioux Falls need soft skills in addition to the technical skills gained from their time at Globe University. Employers are looking for candidates with good communication and problem solving skills as well as positive attitudes. Those willing to work hard are also standout candidates in the workforce.
"The lunch proved a productive discussion and one that was overdue. It is exciting to see the valuable relationships emerging by partnering with the city and employers to work at improving the current workforce and those of the future." said Ann Kolbreck, Director of Career Services.

The New Year is often a time of reflection and a chance to pursue new opportunities. If 2015 has you thinking about making a career change, here are some things you may want to consider.
Determine Your Motive
You might feel stuck in your current job because you’re unhappy, not making enough money or just don’t see yourself moving up. The New Year is the perfect time to reinvent yourself and embark on a new career path, but you’ll first want to identify your motivation for making the switch.
"People switch careers for many different reasons. Often times it’s for an increased salary, a more challenging work environment or even different hours," says Ashley Tanner, director of career services for Globe University. "It’s never too late to switch careers, and nowadays it’s becoming increasingly more common."
Tanner warns about jumping into a new career too quickly, though, and stresses the importance of analyzing the real reason why you’re considering it.
"Wanting to switch careers can often be fueled by life changes, so be sure to do research when making this big decision," she says.
Do Your Research
When thinking about a career change, Tanner recommends visiting the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics website, which provides information about job titles, potential earnings and required education for specific positions that can help you with your decision.
"Be realistic when switching careers," says Tanner. "A career change may be demanding, so be sure to have a plan in place, and set realistic and attainable goals."
More than likely, whichever career you choose is not going to be as stable or routine as your current role, so she suggests comparing your current job to others you may be considering and weighing the pros and cons of each.
Have a Plan
Once you’ve decided on a new career path, you need to have a plan going forward. Tanner says it’s helpful to seek a mentor in the particular industry you are considering, and network with professionals to get a feel for the job field.
Many times, going back to school is also a necessary part of your plan. The proper educational background can help you stand out above the competition because it shows you have the foundation to back up your skills and experience. Whether you need an updated certification, an associate degree or an MBA, continuing your education will give you the credentials to make your dream career happen.
Figuring out why you want to make a change, doing your research and establishing a plan are all things you should do before embarking on a new career path. If you decide a new career in 2015 is for you, Globe University and career support services can help. Visit www.globeuniversity.edu/about-us/career-services to learn more.

Here at Globe University, we know that preparing you for your career means more than education in the classroom.
During the past year, we offered up regular career tips aimed at helping you with the ins and outs of finding a job. The series covered everything from utilizing social media to resume writing and building your personal brand.
As we look ahead to 2015, we’ve compiled a list of our 12 most popular career tips posts from 2014. (Click the headline to find further details on each.)
12. Get Focused and Get Hired
This piece concentrated on goals and motivation and the value of being positive and sticking with it.
A big part of staying focused is continuing to network, which keeps you connected and helps you develop what could prove to be beneficial relationships, according to Jenny Schroth, director of career services for Globe University.
"Even if you’re still in school, start networking and informational interviewing," Schroth said. "It’s never too early to start making those connections."
11. The 3-Part Recipe for a Successful Job Search
Simply put: plan, prepare, execute.
This post gives you the basics on searching for a new job, along with more insight from our career services team. Each phase is outlined with specific tips that can help you get organized and create checklists to follow in your journey.
One nugget under "execute" that could be useful: During the job search process, consistently update your resume and LinkedIn profile with any additional experience, volunteer work or internships you’ve obtained along the way.
10. Resume Writing 101
Your resume is likely the first time a company will see what you’re about, and it serves as the backbone of your job search process—even if the average recruiter only looks at it for 10 seconds.
With that statistic in mind, there are several ways you can make your resume easier for hiring managers to digest and help you stand out from the crowd.
This post deals with formatting tips, language usage and what you should highlight.
9. Love What You Do
"Know thyself." The ancient Greek saying is a good way to start this post about finding your future career.
Here, we discussed self-exploration, finding your passion and tapping into your personality. As the old saying goes, "When you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life."
Melissa Simon, part of our career services department, talks about the benefits of aligning your values with your goals.
"Passion builds motivation," she said. "Searching for a job takes extensive time, energy and focus, so it’s important you have the passion for it."
8. Four Simple Ways to Sell Yourself
This post provides some great tips on standing apart from the crowd and being viewed as a valuable asset.
You’ll find a few simple things you can do to better sell yourself as a future employee:
Customize your message
Don’t sell yourself short
Connect with the right people
Define your value
Check out the blog for more specifics.
7. Three Ways to Improve Your Personal Brand
The ability to properly market yourself is a big part of the job search process.
Packaging your skills for the career you want takes some critical thinking, and in this post we give you several options for building your personal brand.
It’s about demonstrating value to your potential employer, identifying your abilities and connecting your skills with the job description.
6. Five People You Should Avoid at Work
This is a great post about relationships in the workplace. There are constructive ones… and those you should avoid.
Here, we’ve identified a few archetypes of coworkers who can cause problems, create negativity or hinder performance. Associating with the right people at workplace is vital to your professional growth.
The post also provides tips for dealing with the poor influences at your job.
5. Andrew Davis Says Networking and Branding Leads to Your Dream Job
This blog grew out of a presentation from Andrew Davis, a well-known marketer and author of Brandscaping: Unleashing the Power of Partnerships.
Davis, whose resume includes stints with Jim Henson and the Today Show, discussed the value of going on a "career quest" and building relationships.
"Know who the key players are in the field you want to work in," he said. "Become a member and active participant in organizations those people are part of, and do online research and connect with them online so that you know who they are and what they talk about. That way when you do meet with them, you can actually have a valuable conversation."
4. We’ve Got You Covered: Tips for Writing a Steller Cover Letter
Cover letters are another major factor in your ability to land the job you want.
This post covers (pardon the pun) what you need to know when you craft your cover letter, which can often show potential employers more than your resume would.
Three keys:
Customize
Personalize
Organize
3. Employers Use Social Media to Find, Vet Potential Hires
Whether it’s making sure you don’t have compromising posts on your Facebook or Twitter accounts, updating your LinkedIn page, or creating a digital portfolio—your online presence matters.
You should assume that if you apply for a job, somebody at the company will take a look at your social media posts. Sprinkle in some links from industry leaders; check your privacy settings; update your LinkedIn account.
You’ll find several steps you can take to make your virtual self a more attractive candidate.
2. Why Social Media Should Be Part of Your Job Search Strategy
This post goes into great depth on how to leverage social media in your pursuit of a successful career.
Each social network has its own quirks and audiences, and by tapping into these differences, you can bolster your online profile and make yourself a better candidate.
It’s up to you to manage your online reputation and showcase what you want others to see—a professional, positive impression.
1. Five Ways to Use Pinterest to Get a Job
Drumroll, please…
The most-viewed post from our career tips series was about how you can use Pinterest to land a job. (Are we seeing a trend with our top three here?)
Pinterest may not seem at first blush like a social media network where you can get traction on getting a job. But there are several aspects of Pinterest that you can take advantage of. Read the post for ideas on:
Showcasing your work
Targeting companies
Following job and career support boards
Becoming an industry expert
Getting inspired
Well, that wraps up our list of popular 2014 career search posts from Globe University. We hope you have a wonderful 2015!

With 2015 underway, many of you are probably making resolutions for the New Year.
In this infographic, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most popular resolutions among Americans, along with tips or facts about each.

Some of the most popular New Year’s resolutions include losing weight, quitting smoking, going back to school and saving money. But what about the less popular ones?
It was only a short time ago that the internet came onto the scene, and since then, our willpower and concentration skills have been put to the test by constantly having the world at our fingertips.
Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, online shopping, news sites, Netflix — the possibilities are endless, and we can start missing out on real life.
Here are five New Year’s resolutions we can make to help us beat our digital addictions and foster a healthier relationship with technology.
1. Be present in social interactions
We’ve all had the experience where we’re trying to be more interesting than what someone is looking at on their phone.
And yet, how many times have we been the ones looking at our phones while our friends and family are trying to get our attention? At some point we have to decide if that BuzzFeed article is really more important than spending quality time with the people we love.
This viral video by Prince Ea, which boasts 9.5 million views, helps illustrate the point.
Maybe for 2015 we can put our phones away in social interactions and only respond if it’s urgent. The internet isn’t going anywhere, but we’ll never get lost time back.
2. Don’t text and drive
We already know this is a bad idea — not to mention illegal in most states — and campaigns like Stop the Texts, Stop the Wrecks remind us just how dangerous it is to text and drive.
Here are a few statistics to keep in mind next time we feel the urge to text and drive:
Texting makes a car accident up to 23 times more likely to happen, while talking on the phone makes an accident only 1.3 times more likely to happen.
Texting was the cause of 1.3 million car crashes in 2011, roughly 23 percent of all auto collisions.
The minimal amount of time your attention is taken away while texting is five seconds, or the time it would take to drive the length of a football field at 55 mph.
If the urge to text and drive is too strong, we can put our phones in the backseat or trunk. We’ll be much better off steering clear of the fatal statistics mentioned above.
3. Think outside of the chat box
We love connecting with friends and family over social media, and it’s especially convenient if we live in different cities. But how much of our social lives are being funneled into a digital reality?
What was once a world of predominantly face-to-face conversations — complete with body language, vocal inflections and physical surroundings — is too often being reduced to a one-size-fits-all chat box on a screen.
According to this article, Americans are currently spending more than seven hours per day looking at digital media, whether in the form of TV, computer or mobile devices.
The sad part is, we’re probably too early in the "information overload" era to gauge the long-term effects of overindulging in digital media.
But this much is clear: when we disengage our digital lives, we re-engage our real lives.
4. Limit web surfing time at work
Many of our jobs require a computer and internet access, and unless our employers implement strong website blocks, we’re on the honor code as to how we spend our time at the computer.
Once we finish our work assignments, the temptation to escape into a sea of mindless YouTube videos and social media outlets can be hard to ignore.
But when we’re still on the clock, getting paid to surf the web is a dishonest use of time.
An alternative use of time would be to ask our supervisors or coworkers what they might need help with, or to get a jumpstart on our next project.
If wasting an employer’s time and money doesn’t nag at our conscience, we can consider it in more selfish terms: Will this use of time help me grow professionally and aim to get that promotion I want, or am I just waiting around for 5 o’clock?
5. Use distraction-free apps
It seems counterintuitive… an app to help us not look at too many apps? Yes!
For those of us who have a hard time unplugging from our various devices but are not willing to give them up altogether (although that’s a solution too), here is a list of helpful apps we can use to keep us present and productive:
ColdTurkey (Windows): This app temporarily blocks social media and other time-stealing websites while we get work done.
SelfControl (Mac OS X): This app also blocks distracting websites for any period of time, and won’t let its Mac users off the hook until the time is up.
Forest (Andoid): This clever app motivates its mobile users to spend 30 minutes at a time not checking their phones. With each 30-minute interval spent not checking their phone, a tree grows. Eventually, users with the strongest willpower will have a forest to share with friends.
Focus Time (iPhone): This app is an elegantly designed timer for iPhone users who want to avoid distractions and get more done.

By Stephanie Daniels, Globe University-Wausau veterinary technician program chair
As the veterinary technician program chair at our Globe University campus, I enjoy keeping in touch with graduates as they establish their careers. I am excited to share some of their stories, starting with veterinary technician graduate Megan Wilczek.
Megan graduated from Globe University-Eau Claire campus in December 2011, and is now working closely with the Globe University-Wausau team as a full-time certified veterinary technician supervisor at VCA Companion Care of Wausau. I am excited to share that Megan has recently decided to pursue a specialty in behavior.
Megan Wilczek, CVT with VCA Companion Care
What does a specialty in behavior mean exactly? A Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) in behavior is a CVT who provides expert knowledge, techniques and suggestive behavior modification in the area of animal behavior. As a VTS, Megan will train animals in order to prevent and correct behavior problems, and improve the human-animal bond through communication and leadership.
This specialty is no easy task.
Megan explains: "To become a VTS in behavior, I need to log 4,000 hours working in the behavior field and 40 hours of continuing education in behavior. Three thousand of those working hours can be working with animals to prevent behavior problems. One thousand of those hours need to be working with a pet that a veterinarian diagnosed with a behavior problem with the goal of correcting that behavior problem. I need to log 50 cases and submit five case reports. I also need to complete a list of skills under supervision of another veterinary professional, such as a veterinarian or CVT. I need to be able to train dogs, cats, and at least one other species of my choice. Once I have completed all those things, I can apply to take the exam to get my VTS in behavior."
Megan is passionate about trying to keep pets from being surrendered to shelters. She would like to be able to provide education to clients to prevent and correct behavioral problems. In turn, this training and understanding will improve the pet’s quality of life.
For those who are interested in veterinary technology, Megan provides this advice: "There are a lot of options with a career in veterinary technology. It might seem simple that with a degree in veterinary technology you become a veterinary technician. That is only the starting point. Beyond that you can choose one of many specialties, become a hospital manager, teach at a college, do wildlife rehabilitation… the possibilities are endless. Whatever it is that interests you, there is a path you can take for it. Don’t limit yourself."

Globe University-Sioux Falls continues to recognize and celebrate outstanding students by naming Tayler Owens as our December Student of the Month.
Tayler is currently a second-quarter criminal justice student.
He was recently hired as a student worker on campus, covering hours at the front desk and in the library. Always a cheerful presence on campus, Tayler maintains a positive attitude in every situation.
He’s also a dedicated and hard-working student, receiving a 4.0 GPA in his first quarter at Globe.
Tayler’s program chair Jay Meyers had this to say: "Tayler does a great job in his classes. He is consistent and routinely writes insightful papers that have greatly impressed his instructors. He recently volunteered with a Criminal Justice Day held on campus for a local high school and was very helpful."
Here is what Tayler said about being a student at Globe:
"I grew up in Pierre, South Dakota, and am currently a Criminal Justice major. After attending four other universities, I was not sure what path I wanted to take. I know I made the right decision coming to Globe. I ended my first quarter with a 4.0 GPA and was given the opportunity to be a student worker as well.
"My advice for the students struggling to maintain good grades while working is to learn to prioritize. It can be difficult completing homework and meeting all deadlines, but is well worth the effort to graduate! I had two jobs my first quarter in addition to taking classes full time. I maintained my grades by working hard in class. I always paid attention and asked questions when I did not understand something.
"A positive attitude is also important while attending school. It was difficult at times to stay motivated. My motivation now is to see how far I have come, while keeping in mind what I need to do to become a police officer. I do not want to start over again so I am going to continue to stay positive all the way to graduation!"
Our campus wishes to thank Tayler for his hard work while attending Globe. We looked forward to his continued success and achievements.
