Power Station 92.1’s ‘College Talk’ Senior Day

In this episode, Dr. Carjie Scott, Radio Show Host, will celebrate graduating high school seniors from Alachua County High Schools and throughout the nation. Dr. Scott will provide listeners with ideas to celebrate high school seniors. Your senior year of high school is a critical time in your life. You will soon graduate and enter the “real world.” Why not go out with a bang and make lasting memories with your classmates? Listen live to hear ways to celebrate your senior year at powerstation92.com this Saturday, October 29 at noon. Here are some ways to celebrate your senior year.

  1. Senior Night – This event celebrates the end of high school and marks your journey after that. It recognizes your academic, athletic, and leadership abilities and acknowledges the contribution of your friends, family, faculty, and staff. Typically, it is hosted during the last home game of the season.
  2. Trunk Party – This event is usually a celebration for someone accepted into college and will live on the college campus. At the party, guests fill the trunk with non-perishable food, school supplies, room decorations, laundry supplies, bedding, and other college essentials.
  3. College Signing Day Event – For students accepted to multiple colleges, many college signing day events are hosted for scholars in partnership with non-profit organizations, high schools, and churches. During this event, students share the scholarship awards received and the colleges they have been accepted to. Then they announce the college that they are attending.
  4. Senior Class Gift – This is an opportunity for your Senior Class to leave something behind to commemorate your time in high school. Some gifts include a park bench, a scholarship fund, a landmark or mascot statue, parking signs, a t-shirt, or any other philanthropic token of appreciation.
  5. Decorate Senior Lockers or Parking Spaces – Seniors can decorate their lockers or parking spaces to celebrate their classmates. They can make this event a competition with a theme of colleges students have been accepted to, jobs that students want to earn after graduation or something generic like a superhero theme.
  6. Adopt a Freshman – Seniors can adopt a first-year student to become their mentor and help them get through high school. This can be a great way to increase high school retention and potentially help first-year students begin to think about life after high school sooner.
  7. Celebrate your Senior on the Radio – Comment on this post with your Senior’s name and high school, and Dr. Carjie Scott will celebrate them live on Power Station 92.1 FM. Listen live on your radio or at powerstation92.com. This episode will air live on Saturday, October 29, from noon to 2p,

5 Career Paths That Focus On Social Responsibility

When competitive salary offers and benefits are abundant, many are looking towards careers that can provide a sense of fulfillment. Forbes notes how 83% of millennials would be more loyal to a workplace that helps them contribute to social and environmental issues. 64% said they’d reject a job without a firm CSR policy. Even those who teach students are now looking to Improve Social Impact in Higher Education.

Many who work in careers that focus on social responsibility have not only been found to stay at their jobs for longer but also have a driven level of engagement and productivity. If working in a purpose-driven career sounds appealing, check out these five paths that heavily focus on social responsibility.

Doctors

Becoming a doctor is an attractive career path because many see it as a path to prestige or wealth. However, it’s a common fact that the job also comes with a heavy responsibility for human life. It doesn’t help that several states face a doctor shortage, which means many doctors are also overworked.

The shortage, combined with the ongoing health needs of residents, has thus led to an increased demand for telemedicine physicians in Georgia and other states. The Peach State has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, alongside Arkansas and Oklahoma. Fortunately, telehealth has allowed healthcare workers to exercise flexibility in their careers and accommodate a wider group of patients daily.

Many claims that the years it takes to become a doctor are only worth it when you have the mindset to help people genuinely. This gives many aspiring doctors the strength to complete an undergraduate program, medical school, a residency program, and additional training.

Healthcare advocacy

Perhaps technique and medical practice isn’t your forte, but you’re equally passionate about public health for the good of society. Working in organizations with healthcare advocacies may be the right place for you.

These organizations are responsible for many of the rights and services that minority groups experience today. See the Black Women’s Health Imperative which helped introduce advocacies like the Sickle Cell Disease Expansion Act – H.R. 7177, and launched the BWHI Change Agency.

Formations like these require diverse teams, including sales and marketing experts, to promote their campaigns. However, many would gladly welcome volunteers of no experience to be trained in-house.

Environmental and sustainability activism

These activists champion climate justice campaigns, which can be particular per state.

For example, environmental and sustainability activists in Louisiana fought to close more than 50 oilfield waste sites in Vermilion Parish. To achieve these wins, passion is a necessary ingredient, but a background in environmental studies, campaigning, and federal laws is equally important.

Licensed social worker

Social workers choose to assist individuals and families according to cultural, political, or economic trends. As with most social activism, this can differ per location. For instance, social workers in Montana had to recently focus on urging legislators against changing Medicaid expansion, which many Black communities depend on.

Like becoming a doctor, to become a licensed social worker, you must complete a bachelor of social work (BSW) degree, a master’s degree, and a licensure exam if you feel a fundamental social responsibility and passion for helping.

Educator

Teachers are just as responsible for shaping people’s lives. This means that teachers have moral, social, national, and humanitarian social responsibility as educators. Teachers must not only care about their actual students but also understand and show them how to fit in a community.

Diversity among teachers in states like Nevada is significant to counter the heavy misinformation and fear-mongering against minority groups. Teachers are vital in representing diverse groups of students and as role models, setting them up for success in society as the future generation.

These careers focus on social responsibility, but it’s key to remember that social responsibility stems from the individual. Making the most out of your job for the common good is possible as long as you are clear with your goals and purpose for making society a better place.

11 Ways to Improve Social Impact in Higher Education

by Carjie Scott on March 28, 2022 at 1:30 a.m. CST

Students do not attend college for the sole purpose of obtaining employment. Studies have shown that a college degree is not required to get a decent-paying job anymore. Instead, college fills the gap between teenage years and adulthood to prepare students for the real world, particularly for first-time freshmen. College communities are successful when deliberate about engaging in activities to create a culture of belongingness, confidence, and lifelong learning. These institutions encourage students to improve their critical thinking, goal setting, time management, living habits, civic engagement, emotional intelligence, and learning skills. Faculty and staff shape the environment to allow students to accomplish these goals. Oftentimes, higher education employees are required to do more than what’s assigned in their job description to make this happen. Below are 11 ways to improve social impact in higher education.
