    Fom the diectos chai

    One of my rst opportunities in my new position as

    director is to re-activate the Student Advisory Board (SAB).

    I participated in this volunteer opportunity when I was

    enrolled in the MSCJ program and found the avenue to

    provide input to the Distance Learning Center sta to be

    personally rewarding. I realize that its dicult as an online

    student to build a connection with a college campus that you

    may never visit. Because of that potential lack of connectivity

    between student and campus, its also dicult at times from

    a sta perspective to solicit and receive feedback from our

    students.

    Over 60 students volunteered to serve on the SAB in

    response to an e-mail request for participation. By the time

    you receive this publication, we hope to have conducted

    our rst introductory telephone conference and will have

    given the student representatives assignments to work on

    over the summer. We will be asking these representatives

    questions about how we do business on a day-to-day basis

    and how we can beer serve you, our customers.

    I would like to extend an invitation to contact me

    personally at the DLC if you ever have an issue or concern.

    Alternatively I invite and encourage you to contact any of

    your student representatives if you have input you believethe sta needs to hear. Contact information for your SAB

    representatives will be printed in the fall edition of The

    Pioneer Connection.

    Taking a pint-based

    couse this fall?

    Loan defement eminde

    If you are a print-based student and want to defer loanpayments for the fall semester, keep in mind that the

    starting date of your registration can be no later than

    September 2nd. Registrations that start in October/

    November/December cannot be used for fall deferments.

    In addition, most lenders require that you are enrolled at

    least half-time in a semester to be eligible for a deferment

    for that term.

    The UW-Plaeville Registrars Oce submits enrollment

    verications to the National Student Clearinghouse for

    all loan deferments. Regulations permit the universityto verify enrollment for UW-Plaeville courses only. If

    you are taking courses with UW Colleges or any other

    school, verication for those courses must come directly

    from those institutions, even if you have a nancial aid

    consortium agreement.

    If you have any questions, contact your advisor.

    Financial Aid Awad Lettes in PASSBeginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, your Financial Aid Award Leer will be posted in PASS. You will receive an

    Ode textbooks ealyYou must have your textbooks

    on the rst day of class. Order

    them when you receive your

    may sound like a nancial

    bargain, but can cost you more in

    the long run. Match the ISBN of

    textbooks you order to the books

    listed for your course in PASS.

    Contactyour advisor to learn about policychanges, tuition rates, and the new registration process.

    The changes we have made in the last year make it

    your campus e-mail, and campus resources, such as the

    Karrmann Library, all with the same NetID (username)

    This summersregistration period

    marked the start of

    something exciting

    for distance education

    students at the

    University of Wisconsin-

    Plaeville PASS!

    Though change can be hard for some, this changehas been long awaited. As an alumnus of the

    MSPM program, I am envious of all current

    students. In the past, we had at least three or four

    usernames and passwords to keep track of, with

    just as many websites and contact names. Many

    of us had a document listing all of our usernames/

    passwords and what each was used for (e.g.,

    registration and payment, D2L, the Advising Site,

    Karrmann Library access, etc.).

    One of the best improvements for students is that

    you now need only one NetID (username) and

    password for all UW-Plaeville sites. You can

    access your courses in D2L, your records in PASS,

    databases in the Karrmann Library, and your

    campus e-mail all with the same login.

    Other new features of PASS:

    You no longer need to contact a third party

    to receive information on tuition or to make

    payments for courses. You can pay online andprint receipts for tuition payments.

    You will nd your grades in your Student

    Center in PASS. If you need your grades for

    tuition reimbursement, you wont have to wait

    for grades to be posted to the advising site. The

    new process is faster and ensures accuracy.

    Starting with the 2012-2013 nancial aid year,

    you can view nancial aid information and

    accept or decline oered aid in PASS ratherthan returning an Award Leer by mail.

    In the coming months, you will be able to

    monitor your degree progress using the

    Academic Requirement Report. This report

    will chart your progress toward your degree,

    indicating courses completed and requirements

    yet to fulll. Watch for more information in the

    next issue of The Pioneer Connection.

    While learning a new system can be daunting,

    PASS has streamlined and simplied processes fo

    both students and sta. A big thanks to all alumn

    who have spoken up about ways we can improve

    our student services. Without Pioneers taking a

    moment to voice concerns, changes cant be made

    If you are ever concerned about a process, contact

    your advisor you may aect the future for all

    students.

    PASS simplies life for students

    You can access your courses in D2L, your records in PASS,databases in the Karrmann Library, and your campus e-mail

    all with the same login.

    Pioneer Profile - Dion Shaw

    Halfway thee

    When Dion Shaw

    completed his bachelors

    degree in computer

    science in 1997, he

    had several years of

    professional work

    experience, in addition

    to perspective from

    negotiating one giant

    hurdle. Regarding a

    diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in his early 20s,

    Dion said, It put my priorities in order. It makes

    me want to help others, to give to others, to look

    around and see what maers.

    Years later, working as a management information

    systems manager for a large manufacturing

    company, and pursuing a masters degree in

    project management with UW-Plaeville Online,

    Dion was laid o. He spent 2009 looking for

    work and volunteering with the Illinois WorkNet,

    helping unemployed workers with rsum-writing

    and interviewing skills.

    At the Project Management Conference in

    Plaeville in 2010, Dion engaged faculty, shared

    his experience, and was encouraged to take a

    special topics course to pursue his idea of creating

    a resource for workers who want to start home-

    based businesses. Dion designed, developed, and

    maintains Homepreneurs, a blog that does just that.

    As a recent guest on Unity Online Radios Beyond

    Blind Spots, Dion discussed the importance of

    researching and planning a business, explaining

    that the business plan can be brief, something

    to remind you of where youre going...a dynamic

    document that evolves along with the business.

    Dion is halfway to completing his masters

    degree. He divides his time between school,

    parenting, working full-time for CompUCom,

    and maintaining the Homepreneurs blog. Two

    years, over 400 posts, 600 comments, and 40,000

    visitors later, its a valuable resource to many, and

    illustrates what is possible when a person follows

    his passion, identies a need, and gathers the

    expertise and community to implement the plan.

    Tim Strait is pitching a

    curve ball to his students

    this fall. As a licensed

    psychotherapist,

    hell blend business

    and psychotherapy

    into Organizational

    Behavior (BUSADMIN

    3530/5530). The course ispart of UW-Plaevilles

    innovative Master of Science in Organizational

    Change Leadership program.

    While earning his masters degree in business

    at Edgewood College, Madison, Wisconsin, an

    instructor inspired Tim to look at organizations

    through the lens of a psychotherapist.

    She said, If you really want to make a high-level

    impact on people in an organization, you needto become an expert on how the human mind

    works and what might be causing a person to act

    and react to the things that happen during the

    workday. Aer all, organizations are made up of

    human beings.

    Organizational behavior and the study of change

    are steeped in Systems Theory, Tim said. The

    concept maintains that each element and each

    person within an organization is interrelated

    and interdependent. For example, when one

    family member changes his or her behaviors, all

    other family memberseveryone in the family

    systemare impacted. The same can be said for

    organizations. Tim will encourage students to

    think of their work as a system consisting of teams,

    various roles and groups, clients, and suppliers.

    I want students to have the skills and abilities

    to think more deeply than their colleaguesbecause they have been challenged through the

    introduction of these psychological theories,

    Tim said. Hopefully, we can give them tools that

    others competing for the same job may not have.

    In July 2009, Salary.com reported median

    annual earnings for organizational development

    consultants of $81,309, and to be successful in the

    profession, a masters degree is nearly always a

    prerequisite.

    The MS in Organizational Change Leadership

    program prepares students for lead roles as

    change managers or consultants. Specically, the

    curriculum explores the nature of change, the

    change process, assessing readiness for change,

    communication strategies, assessing stakeholders

    and sustaining change.

    What really sets our program apart is that its

    part of an established institution versus a start-up

    for-prot institution, Tim said. T J

    William Achia sees the

    signicance of supplychain management.

    Sometimes, it can be the

    dierence between life

    and death.

    At Cardinal Health, a

    Fortune 20 healthcare

    provider, William

    was responsible for managing the supply chain

    activities for a $120 million account, Cleveland

    Clinic, where the importance of readied supplieswas critical.

    Not having a suture availed to a surgeon on

    time might have been the dierence between a

    successful surgery and a person losing his life,

    William said. With that in mind, the supply chain

    gained a very important role. We assured our

    customer that we would have whatever product

    the hospital needed within a day of them placing

    their order.

    Specically, William measured various metrics

    such as service levels, ll rates, and also vendor

    management, ensuring that they had the same

    level of commitment to Cardinal Health that it

    promised its customers.

    Its that same commitment and an immediacy of

    learning that William brings to his course, Supply

    Chain Management (BUSADMIN 4100/6100).

    The course is part of both the bachelors degree in

    business administration and the Master of Science

    in Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM).

    The ISCM program draws on the strengths of

    three UW-Plaeville departments: Business and

    Accounting, Industrial Studies, and Industrial

    Engineering. This provides students with a

    360-degree approach to supply chain management

    and equips them with analytical, quantitative, and

    business skills to make them beer managers ofsupply chain activitiesabove and beyond what

    is currently oered by regular MBA programs.

    As an educator, I cannot aord becoming

    irrelevant to the needs of the marketplace. Being

    a supply chain management professional, I know

    that changes in standard business practices

    occur almost daily, William said. Being at

    the forefront of the ow of innovations and

    advancements is key to delivering an education

    that is relevant to the needs of studentsgraduating from college and entering an ever-

    changing job marketplace.

    Prior to joining UW-Plaeville, William was a

    supply chain analyst for ThyssenKrupp Stainless,

    a global leader in the stainless steel industry,

    where he was a part of the companys evolution

    from a lile-known foreign steel company based

    in Deereld, Illinois, to one of the largest steel

    mills in the nation. During the transition, William

    oversaw the import and distribution activities of

    ThyssenKrupp, including facility (distribution

    center) location, driving down costs through

    pricing negotiations, supply chain activities

    (trucking and warehousing), and troubleshooting

    vendor issues.

    Throughout this whole process, eective supply

    chain management helped the rm build market

    share and name brand recognition, he said.

    Some of Williams enduring excitement for

    everything analytical is his lifelong love of trivia.

    He won several trivia competitions in elementary

    school and believes the fact-nding fun helps him

    beer understand himself and the world around

    him, making him a global citizen.

    This spring, the UW-Plaeville Department

    of Criminal Justice and the Criminal Justice

    Association hosted the 39th Annual Criminal

    Justice Career Fair.

    The two-day event included several speakers

    on various topics related to three disciplinesof criminal justice:

    law enforcement,

    corrections, and

    forensics. Students

    could learn more

    about DNA and

    drug chemistry,

    pretrial services,

    the Sex Oender

    Registry Program,

    and defensive andtactical techniques.

    UW-Plaeville

    criminal justice

    instructors also

    presented ngerprinting labs and a

    workshop on interview preparation.

    The CJ Career Fair is a great experience

    for students at any level of their academic

    career. Agencies provide recruitment and

    employment information for graduatingseniors and internship information for students

    looking to gain experience that can broaden

    their education. Students just geing started in

    the eld can benet too, as the fair highlights

    the many dierent career paths within the CJ

    eld: law enforcement, corrections, private

    security, forensics, law, DNR, and the list goes

    on, Dana Cecil, program coordinator of the

    BSCJ program, said.

    Keynote speaker Major Sarah Huxtable of

    the Wisconsin State Patrol also emphasized

    the variety within the criminal justiceprofession. As a

    state trooper, there

    are many dierent

    job possibilities and

    assignments: motor

    ocers, motor carrie

    enforcement, K9,

    narcotics, explosives

    etc. She also

    discussed subject-

    specic careerpaths. For example,

    students interested in

    math could work in

    the technical reconstruction unit re-creating

    crime scenes. Likewise, science students

    could pursue a career in forensics.

    The starting point, however, is the same.

    The best way to get into law enforcement is

    to have an education, Sarah said.

    Most agencies have minimum

    undergraduate credit requirements and

    the profession demands good writing

    skills. Many students who dont pass the

    entrance level exam fail because of spelling

    and grammatical errors. Law enforcement

    involves a lot of report writing and the

    defense will aack your credibility based on

    poor report writing.

    In addition to the speakers, over 100

    representatives from local, state, and

    federal law enforcement agencies discussed

    internship and employment opportunities.

    The Oshkosh (Wisconsin) Police Department

    hoped to ll ve positions and oered a

    wrien entrance examination that day to

    interested students. Captain of Police Cyndi

    Thaldorf said, Things that I look for in

    candidates are good communication skills

    somebody who can express condence

    and who doesnt hesitate to ask questionsin general, good or bad. We have hired a

    number of UW-Plaeville grads in the past

    and they have done well. We know you have

    quality students here.

    The Oshkosh Police Department was only

    one of many agencies with open positions.

    There is a number of hiring placards on

    the tables, so it looks very promising for

    CJ majors in short-term and long-term

    marketability of their degrees, Dedra Tentis,UW-Plaeville criminal justice instructor

    said. Ive had a couple of agencies indicate

    to me that they are anticipating a number

    of retirements, which means even more job

    possibilities for students.

    For students looking to build their resumes,

    Dedra said, I talked to a number of agencies

    at local, state, and federal levels that have

    open internship opportunities, both paid and

    unpaid. So, I would encourage students to

    reach out and seek internship opportunities

    and possibilities. I ran into a number of

    alumni who are currently working in the eld,

    so there are a lot of networking possibilities.

    Sarah oered additional advice for job-

    seekers. When applying for positions,

    students should be prepared to take an entrance, a psychological, and

    a physical agility exam. In interviews, agencies really want to know:

    Can you multitask, prioritize, and handle high-stress situations? A good

    example [to demonstrate those skills] would be a short-order cook at

    Burger King. You need to recognize what theyre looking for and draw

    from your personal experiences, even if you think they may not be law

    enforcement related.

    The CJ Career Fair is held every spring, and online students are

    encouraged to aend. Cheryl Banachowski-Fuller, director of the

    MSCJ program, said, The Criminal Justice Career Day avails criminal

    justice online students the opportunity to visit the campus for the

    rst time, while seeing what the job market has to oer in reference to

    employment in the criminal justice eld.

    Dana added, With employment information at our ngertips through

    the magic of the Internet, the CJ Career Fair provides a valuable

    opportunity through which students can network and personally

    connect with many dierent agencies.

    The main goal of the fair is to give criminal justice students exposure

    to prospective employers in the eld and demonstrate to students that

    no maer their level or interest, there are many opportunities available

    to them. The career you are about to embark on is so full of rewarding

    experiences. Its very enriching, Sarah said.

    towad caee path

    Nancy Schneider neverconsidered fraud

    investigation as a career

    until, while earning

    her masters degree in

    criminal justice, she

    decided to complete

    an internship with the

    Department of Justice

    where she worked with

    the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The internship

    is what turned my entire life onto the course that itis now on.

    Aer completing her internship, Nancy was hired

    by American Family Insurance as a paralegal

    responsible for litigation investigations and cross

    trained in insurance fraud investigations.

    Eventually, Nancy earned her Fraud Claims

    Law Specialist and Fraud Claims Law Associate

    designations in the insurance industry. She

    graduated from UW-Plaeville with honors in 2009.

    Nancy was not only an excellent student, but

    her ability to be successful in completing the

    coursework while maintaining her high-demandwork responsibilities was superior, said Cheryl

    Banachowski-Fuller, director of the MSCJ degree

    program.

    In December 2012, Nancy was hired by the

    Wisconsin State Department of Children

    and Families to do regulatory compliance

    investigations in the Program Integrity Unit.

    While working with an investigator from the

    Child Care Anti-Fraud Task Force, Nancy decidedto get into criminal investigation herself. I love it

    Its the niche that I t into.

    Now a member of that same task force, Nancy

    conducts criminal investigations related to fraud

    in the Wisconsin SHARES program, which

    subsidizes child care costs for low-income

    families. Nancy will also train fellow investigator

    on Internet research and proling.

    In addition, Nancy is an adjunct criminal justice

    instructor at Bryant and Straon College in

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

    Ann is also a full-time police ocer for

    I love being out on patrol, so I cant see

    career that is more family orientated.

    Ann started the masters program in

    2011 and will complete her degree inthe fall.

    Students enjoy the real-life stories.

    It brings the textbook material

    into perspective. So, I want more

    Pioneer Profile - Nate Katzenmeyer

    BSCrIMINALjUSTICE

    For many UW-Plaeville

    Online students, earning

    a degree is a juggling act.

    Nontraditional student

    Nate Katzenmeyer is

    an exceptional juggler.

    Natewho is earning

    his bachelors degree

    in criminal justice

    balances a full-time course load, a full-time career as

    a Dane County Sheris deputy, and a personal life.

    How does he do it? Nate credits his success to time

    management, good instructors, and his habit ofworking ahead on assignments. You dont know

    what is going to happen in school, in your personal

    life, and in your professional life. So, I try to work

    ahead so that there are no surprises.

    But Nate isnt looking to just cross o a list of

    assignments. The reason I work so far ahead is

    that Ive enjoyed being in the classes so much, and

    I look forward to the next assignments and doing

    the research and beering myself. If you put it o

    things are going to get bad and youll be behind.If you get behind, you get overwhelmed, and then

    you dont get as much out of the classes and your

    education.

    Instructor Gary Apperson noticed Nates

    determination in his Criminal Investigations

    (CRIMLJUS 3130) and Police-Community

    Relations (CRIMLJUS 4130) courses.

    Nate demonstrated drive, eort, and leadership

    in my classes that helped the other students to gofor the high bar. Additionally, Nate was always

    rst to turn in assignments and his work was

    always very high quality.

    Nate hopes to complete his bachelors degree in the

    next year and continue in the masters program.

    Eventually, he would like to be a K9 ocer.

    Students secet to success: Wok ahead

    Cuent topics eseach and witing couse

    Criminal justice instructor Gary Apperson will teach Current Topics: Research

    Writing (CRIMLJUS 4630) this fall. The elective focuses on research and scholarly

    writing.

    The entire course is built around writing one research paper. In fact, the nal

    exam is the completed research paper. Each weeks lesson is an easily digestible

    part of the paper, Gary said. By breaking down the component portions of the

    paper into small assignments, it allows me to provide very concise feedback, and

    the students learn and understand each section.

    Gary aims to improve students general writing skills, which will benet them in other undergraduate

    courses, future masters courses, and eventually, their professional lives.

    Aer taking this course, college suddenly becomes much easier, students will produce more scholarly

    work that stands out and shines, and professional endeavors become more powerful, noticed, and

    manageable, said Gary.

    Realistically, to get a job in todays world,

    you have to have a degree. Most employmentapplications are now online, so if you cant check

    the box that indicates you have a degree, your

    application will be ignored, Dave said.

    retail. He eventually went to work for WyoTech, an

    educational institution that oers career training in

    construction trades and transportation technology.

    Working for an education company, its importantthat I get a degree. I would need it to move into a

    directors position.

    As manager of student nance, Dave worked

    with students as they completed the FAFSA and

    related nancial aid materials. However, recent

    restructuring has put Dave into the job-seeking

    category. Fortunately, back in 2007, Dave took

    Pioneer Profile - Todd and Jessica Tadych

    Two years into their marriage, Todd and Jessica

    Tadych decided to enroll in the engineeringprogram and complete their masters

    degrees simultaneously. Both had excelled as

    undergraduates in engineering at UW-Plaeville

    where they met through the engineering fraternity

    Theta Tau. Both had demanding jobs in their elds:

    Jessica as a soware developer for Epic and Todd

    as a transmission planning engineer for American

    Transmission Company. And both aspire to

    management positions in the long-term.

    Aer researching MBA programs, I chose thisbecause it combines the technical aspects of

    engineering with management, Todd said. Jessica,

    who also pursued the management emphasis,

    agrees she liked that aspect and added, I wanted

    to do it for myself, more than anything. I just

    wanted to continue my education.

    The couple took every class together and took

    one class at a time, except for their nal semesterwhen they took Optimization with Engineering

    Applications and International Marketing.

    We regreed taking two courses at times,

    said Jessica. I dont think I would have goen

    through it without Todd. Some nights, I would

    come home and say I know I said I was going to

    work on it tonight, but I just cant. Todd would

    begin working and at some point, Id join him. We

    pulled each other along.

    to see how the work provided by these two diers and

    it is also interesting to watch them post on each other s

    discussion postings. They have been very professional

    throughout the course.

    Many factors contributed to the couples success. Dierent

    strengths: she likes math, he likes writing. A bit of

    competitiveness: Jessica wasnt too happy when Todd got

    100 on an exam and she got a 99. And We learned a lot

    from our classmates, said Todd. Everyone comes from

    dierent backgrounds and sometimes only one person

    in a workgroup is familiar with a concept. Since we were

    usually in dierent groups, we were able to leverage

    knowledge from both groups.

    Thank you for taking the time to

    share comments and suggestions.

    As a result of your input, here are

    some reminders of how to contact

    Karrmann Library for assistance:

    Call 888.450.4632 toll free to

    speak to a research librarian.

    Librarians are available between the

    hours of 9:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Monday

    through Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-Noon

    on Friday, and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

    on Sunday.

    Send an e-mail Web form called

    Ask a Librarian. This service is

    recommended for directional

    questions or research inquires

    not requiring immediate

    aention. During regular

    hours, you should receive a

    response within two hours. If

    you post questions or comments

    during the evening or weekend,

    you will receive a reply thefollowing working day.

    Occasionally, e-mail questions

    are course-related or faculty-specic

    and really need to be addressed by

    your professor. Please keep in mind

    that librarians are usually not privy

    to specic assignments or course

    parameters.

    Select our CHAT service. CHAT

    is oered during regular business

    hours and can be accessed on

    the Ask a Librarian page. The

    procedure for CHAT is similar to

    e-mail. The more detail you can give

    when describing your needs, the

    quicker we can assist you. Many of

    our librarians use Jing which allows

    us to create a brief video clip when

    answering your question. Jing

    allows us to actually demonstrate a

    possible solution to your research

    need with sound and graphics.

    As the distance education librarian, I

    always welcome your feedback and

    comments. Feel free to e-mail medirectly at [email protected], and Ill

    respond ASAP.
