education

Every single day of the year is set aside for at least one, and usually more, events. Like today (Monday) you could have been celebrating National Chocolates Day or Lung Health Day. But don't get bummed because Tuesday is just as good if not better!

Our good friend Robert Haley took time to come talk about the programs for educating our veterans.  He is the director of the Maine State Approving Agency For Veterans' Education. Hear what he has to say about the educational programs.

Here is a unique educational opportunity. There is a plan to open a circus-performance college in Portland. The Circus Conservatory of America would offer a Bachelor degree in circus arts. No, it’s not 'clown college', it’s a lot more.

If there's one thing you can say about politics, it certainly brings out the best in people. As you can see in the above video, a political "debate" went awry when a University of Oregon Professor physically pushed two students subsequent to making "racists remarks" towards them...

It is always great to see and talk with someone that is so nice, like Elizabeth Vanderweide.  I first met Elizabeth a few years ago because of the Harold Alfond College Challenge. Personally, I think she has one of the coolest jobs around. She helps people be aware and take advantage of money for secondary education.

I am a college student, what they call an “adult learner”.  I am more “adult” than some in my program, less “adult” than others.  By “adult” I mean…old.  I have been doing since fall of 2008.  This May I am due to graduate from Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield. This will be my first college degree. And this is how I am managing to keep the end in sight.

This sounds interesting. Maine business and education leaders have launched an effort to double the number of computer science and information technology college graduates over the next four years. It’s called Project Login.

The University Of Maine Board Of Trustees said 'OK' to a new Bachelor of Science degree in aviation. The degree program will be offered at the University Of Maine Augusta. According to the KJ, the program was created to meet a growing need for commercial aviation professionals.

School for thousands of public school students is about to get quite a bit longer. Five states will add at least 300 hours of learning time to the calendar in some schools starting in 2013. Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee will take part in the test.
