For the past three years, Saint Luke’s College has partnered with Saint Luke’s Hospital in their yearly disaster exercise. The hospital staff participates in this disaster drill to better prepare them for a real emergency.

The College recruits student volunteers to represent the patients in this drill. The students offer a perspective to the hospital staff that can only be provided through the eyes of a patient. In return, the students get great exposure to disaster medicine and the challenges experienced within the healthcare field during mass casualty incidents.

Higher education accreditation has been in the news for the past couple of years. It has many advocates, supporters, and promoters, but it also has its detractors. Some of the criticisms are not new. They come from different constituents, including government and some from inside higher education. Some of the concerns include the cost of the process and the ability of peers to make tough decisions. For example, ACICS, a national accreditor, is currently under the fire for its alleged inability to act as a sufficient assessor of college quality.

Kansas City, MO (April 21, 2016) – The Kansas City Council recently pledged its commitment to the nationwide movement Start By Believing. Start by Believing is a public awareness campaign by End Violence Against Women International; leading the way toward a positive community response to survivors of sexual violence.

Following the April 13, 2014, shooting tragedy at the Jewish Community Campus and Village Shalom in Overland Park, Kansas, a group of caring individuals decided that the community has the power to outshine and overcome such senseless acts of hate. SevenDays is a challenge for young and old, to embrace diversity across races, religions, and cultures. Through three events, Faith, Love & Song, Faith, Love & Kindness and Faith, Love & Walk, we hope to promote understanding and encourage kindness to Make a Ripple to Change the World.
