Proposal for funding of new communications studio at Weston College in Burmingham, Alabama

Background: Weston College has offered matriculating students as well as statewide high school students opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful in a variety of disciplines within the mass communications field for 20 years. With a small communications program of 100 students, Weston is able to provide students with one-on-one attention and instill program participants with a wide spectrum of educational facilities in order to promote a well-rounded student population. The private college receives less than 5% of its annual income from public funds and mostly relies on private endowments for scholarship and facilities.

Proposal Project: The mass communications department, by request of the students, has decided to create a local television station which would provide community members an outlet for public service announcements, calendars and promotion of non-commercial, not-for-profit events. The station would be entirely student-run with the exception of school advisors and mentors.

Needs: To maintain a competitive status within the educational community. Weston College must keep up with technological advancements made in the communications industry. In order to continue to draw in top achieving students, the school should be able to continually provide students with all the educational facilities larger universities are offering without increasing matriculation costs.

Donor Benefits: The Weston College production studio will honor the program's top donors by using their name on the building and they will be recognized during a ribbon cutting ceremony at the time of the studio's grand opening. Other donors will be recognized publicly when the station is up and running.

To: All Managers
From: Harold Geezer, Company President
Date: Tuesday, July 13

Because of recent issues related to discipline of employees, as well as dismissals where these employees have brought lawsuits against the company, I have decided that there is a need for a well-documented company policy regarding both discipline and dismissals. I have asked the Human Resources department to draft this document, and to have it completed by September 1st of this year.

Once this document is completed, it will be distributed to all managers to be carefully reviewed. You will be given until September 7th to submit any concerns you may have to Human Resources in writing. On September 15th, there will be a meeting of all managers, Human Resources and myself to make any final changes to the document. It will then be distributed to all employees on September 21st, who must then read it carefully and sign it by September 28th.

Health Note March

The Truth About Supplements? (continued from page 19)
So, ideally, maintaining a varied diet is enough to satisfy the nutritional requirements of adults aged 65 and older. However, some seniors may find this difficult to do, as they lack time and find preparing nutritious meals to be too challenging. In such cases, many doctors agree that taking vitamins and other supplements may be helpful. Even so, physicians believe that these supplements should be carefully regulated so as not to cause unintended harm. According to a controlled study¹ by the Research Institute for Aging, some vitamins and minerals can be toxic when ingested in large amounts. For this reason, getting the advice of a trusted and qualified physician before beginning a vitamin regimen is recommended.

1-Health Note was granted advance access to the study, which will soon be available for publication.

*For permission to reprint this article, please write to admin@healthnote.com. Charges apply for publication of the complete article or 500 words or more. Excerpts with fewer words can be reprinted for free, but must be attributed to Health Note.
