ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There will be a retirement celebration for Les Weiand – Sept. 26, 2- 4 p.m.

Congratulations to 2023 family nurse practitioner/doctor of nursing practice graduate Michelle Lucas, lead author, with Brenda Elliott, of “Safety Considerations for Home Care Providers” in Home Healthcare Now, The Interprofessional Journal for Home Health Care and Hospice Clinicians. Read online at: https://doi.org/10.1097/NHH.0000000000001190

ABSTRACT
Home care is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, projected to continue increasing as the population ages. However, there are unique safety concerns associated with home care compared to the more controlled hospital or clinic settings, such as driving distractions, potentially dangerous neighborhoods, and in-home risks categorized as environmental, biological, chemical, and emotional. Each home is essentially a new worksite with its own set of safety hazards, increasing the need for home care providers to be aware of safety risks in these ever-changing environments. Ensuring worker safety is essential to the recruitment and retention of home care workers. This article discusses safety risks unique to home care and offers solutions that increase the safety of home care providers. Education around workplace violence, implementation of evidence-based practices, and establishing and adhering to safety policies are paramount.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

After many years of service and significant departmental leadership, Raeann Hamon, distinguished professor of family science and gerontology, stepped down as chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Science after thirty-one years, and Paul Johns has stepped into this role over the summer. Under Raeann’s leadership, the department educated thousands of students from numerous majors with excellent pedagogy; the program achieved affiliation with the National Council on Family Relations; and Raeann developed a variety of opportunities for high quality undergraduate student research, among many other achievements. Hamon will continue to share her many gifts as she returns to the classroom full-time. As a respected educator, family therapist and institutional citizen with two decades of service to Messiah, Paul is well poised to take the helm of this undergraduate department. Please join the interim dean of the School of Arts, Culture, and Society in thanking Raeann and welcoming Paul.

I’m writing to inform the University community that Linda Poston, director of Murray Library, will retire from that role effective Nov. 30.

Linda assumed the library directorship at Messiah University in 2018, after twenty-two years of leading the library at Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary. Along with her experience at a sister institution, Linda brought wisdom, grace, and creativity to her role at Messiah, guiding the library’s strategic planning at a time when the role of academic libraries was undergoing considerable change. Linda has been a strong advocate for the library and its role on campus; but more than that, she’s been a campus-wide leader and partner, serving on the Middle States re-accreditation steering team, championing the use of open educational resources, and supporting educators and students who rely on the library’s services to deliver and receive a quality education.

Linda’s retirement will allow her more time to spend with her husband, Larry, who taught in our Department of Biblical, Religious, and Philosophical Studies (and before that, at Nyack College), until his recent diagnosis with pulmonary fibrosis. Both Linda and Larry would appreciate your prayers as they navigate the road ahead.

More information will be forthcoming from the provost’s office about a time to celebrate Linda’s leadership at Messiah University.

CultureCONNECT, 2023 Annual Lecture

Please plan to attend the Department of Communication’s CultureCONNECT 2023 lecture on Sept. 13, in Parmer Cinema, at 7 p.m., with Katie R. Place, professor and strategic communication expert at Quinnipiac University. Place’s lecture on “Ethical Listening for Communications, Business, and Beyond” looks at how listening in public communication contexts has historically engaged in an 80:20 ratio of speaking versus listening, where listening has been done to promote marketing needs, provide competitive data, or identify methods to sell products. Research and practice must better identify values that promote the ethical pursuit of listening to establish healthy, equitable dialogue and more ethical representation of social equity and morale among organizational publics. Place will discuss her recent research findings on ethical listening and ethical management of the organizational listening process. A reception in Howe Atrium will immediately follow the lecture.

Over two semesters, the 37 students who participated in the sales project produced: 642 prospects, 1,396 communications, and 264 sales, which included things like displaying a poster about Messiah’s Business Department, connecting with Messiah business professors on LinkedIn, and inviting Messiah professors to speak to their classes.
