A Big Welcome to Whoot, our GSC Blue Owl mascot! Whoot flew in to GSC in September
and quickly became a popular icon around campus. We thought we’d ask Whoot a few
questions of introduction.
Just How Did You Come to
Be?
Well, it was a lengthy process. The
flight took almost a year! First,
having a mascot was a glimmer in
the eyes of a few folks in the
Alumni Relations department here
at the college. Then the mascot
idea took flight and soon many
wise alumni and students were
making suggestions. It was
narrowed down to three
candidates and people commented
on all of us. Of course, eventually,
the wisdom of choosing me came
through and suddenly this old bird was it!
Where do you think you’ll live?
I hope to be nesting in the college for a long
time. I’ll likely hang out on the GSC website and
make several appearances on the GSC Facebook
page. I’ve already been blinking on the college
monitors and some of the spiritwear. I’m
hoping to fly in for a few student and alumni
events – you know, add some extra fun to the
place. Really, I’m here for whatever and
wherever I’m needed. I just want people to
“give a hoot about Whoot!”

But tell us, why do you
think you are the perfect
mascot for GSC?
Well, I certainly am observant –
you know my eyes never blink.
And, I’m a wise bird – remember
that “wise old owl” saying? I’m
very confident in my role – note
my hands on my hips. At the
same time, I’m a relatively happy
bird – see how I have that smile
on my beak? And the obvious
thing – I’m the GSC Blue.
Changing myself to a blue owl
was a sacrifice, I mean how many
blue owls have you seen flying across the night
sky? But I was willing to become blue because
like others in the health care profession, I’m
dedicated. And I’m honored to be the GSC
mascot.
What do you think about that name
Whoot?
Oh, I really like it. It totally goes with the way
people think I sound. GSC’s WHOOT THE BLUE
OWL! It’s got a good screechy sound to it, don’t
you think?
The Cor
ner Office
As we move rapidly towards the end of the semester and the holiday
season, I am pleased to share some of the exciting things going on at the
college. First, have you met “Whoot” the Blue Owl, our new mascot?
After nearly a year of soliciting ideas and input from students, faculty,
alumni and staff, Whoot was selected to be our mascot. Whoot is
introduced on our front cover and you soon will see Whoot on T-Shirts
and coffee mugs, and featured in our publications.
The BSN program continues to grow. We have more than 60 students enrolled and six
of them are scheduled to graduate in May. We are preparing for the Accreditation
Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) self-study and site visit this winter.
Exciting times ahead…
The college has also begun using Moodle (through our vendor “Remote-Learner”), for
our course management system. Moodle provides a platform for hybrid and online
course development. Faculty now have the ability to share learning resources with
students (audio clips, video, PowerPoint shows, MSWord documents, PDFs, etc.)
electronically. Moodle also helps organize courses by week in a visual manner that is
easy to follow.
Since we now have this tool, we recently purchased iPads for all teaching faculty and
some professional staff to enhance our connectivity to all the college technology and
especially to our students. Faculty can plug their iPads into classroom flat screen
monitors for enhanced teaching capabilities. The purchase of iPads was made possible
through our Annual Fund Campaign which you generously support…so, a big “Thank
You” goes to all of you.
In November, the college purchased two more traveling flat screen monitors. The
portable monitors are easily moved between rooms, providing more technical flexibility
and adaptability in the classroom.
New financial aid software PowerFAIDS was implemented this summer in GSC
Enrollment Management. It is designed to help the college better manage the financial
aid process and adds automation to many tasks that were previously manual.
I am sorry to end with sad news, but am sure many of you would want to know that our
friend and colleague Larry Schaller lost his battle with cancer just a few months ago. He
was diagnosed last spring when he was treated for an unrelated injury. Larry joined the
college six years ago as our Bursar and from the very first day became part of our Good
Sam family. Larry was more than 6’7” tall and had a great sense of humor. He will be
remembered as our “gentle-giant” who loved working with students. Please keep him in
your prayers and remembrance.
I do wish everyone a joy-filled and safe holiday season.

n that October day in 2005, when the

that her life would carry a scar forever.

better today because of our son’s short life.”

Walking the Walk
With a generous matching
donation from TriHealth, the GSC
team raised more than $5500 in
the 2013 Arthritis Walk held at
Sawyer Point in Cincinnati. The
GSC Articulators were named the
third top fundraising team of the
city-wide event. With 112
walkers, the college also had
more participants than its Christ
College competition, so the
traveling trophy now will be
displayed permanently at GSC.
During the summer, staff became
students when they attended
sessions to learn about Moodle,
the new software system that is
being used to enhance GSC’s
nursing and Gen Ed courses. The
new system is quickly taking hold
in classrooms across the GSC
campus.

GSC Graduates Continue
with Superior NCLEX
Passage Rates
In the fall of 2010, GSC began to implement
a new Concept Based Curriculum into the
nursing program. The goal was to improve
NCLEX passage rates for graduates and
prepare them more fully for a nursing career.
The 2012 annual rate for GSC graduates
NCLEX passage is 96.67%. This is more than
six percent higher than the national average
of 90.34% and almost 7% higher than the state
of Ohio’s average of 89.85%.
AASN Department Chair Mary Morris reports
that rates continue to look promising in 2013.
For the first two quarters of this year, GSC’s
passage rate (98.32%) has continued to
surpass national (87.03%) and Ohio (83.89%)
rates.

Apply Now for 2014 Alumni Association Graduate
Scholarships
Alumni of GSC/GSHSN who are continuing their
education in a degree program are encouraged to apply for
scholarships available through the Alumni Association.
Scholarships are designed to help meet tuition expenses. Ten
graduates received $17,000 in 2013 scholarship awards.
The 2014 Alumni Graduate Scholarships will be awarded to
alumni pursuing a Masters or Doctorate degree and to alumni
pursuing a Bachelor’s degree at an institution other than GSC.
Alumni in the GSC Bachelor of Nursing program should contact
the college Financial Aid Department for separate scholarship
information.
Alumni who are pursuing a Nursing Education degree should
submit the Graduate Scholarship Application to be considered for
the Nancy Mackenzie Powell Scholarship which was established
for alumni seeking a Master or Doctorate in Nursing Education.
For more information or to request an application, contact
Alumni Secretary Clare Allaire, 513-862-2389,
[email protected]. Completed applications are due by
March 15, 2014 and scholarship recipients will be announced in
April.
Pamela Gindele Krieg ‘81, Alumni Association President
Fellow Alumni,
Wishing you a Happy Holiday!
I want to let you know of a few changes that will be taking place to the 2015 Graduate Scholarship supported by the Alumni Annual
Fund (there are no changes in the 2014 Graduate Scholarship). In light of the college offering a BSN program of its own, beginning in
January 2015, the criteria to be considered for the scholarship will change.
 Only alumni pursuing a graduate education in post-Bachelor programs will be eligible for the 2015 Alumni Graduate Scholarship.
 Alumni enrolled in the GSC BSN program will continue to be eligible for the Alumni Undergraduate Scholarship for GSC
students.
 Alumni seeking an undergraduate BSN degree from other institutions will no longer be eligible for the Alumni Graduate
Scholarship.
Post-Bachelor applications will continue to be processed in the current manner, with funds being awarded by the Alumni Association
Graduate Scholarship Committee. Monies are distributed as available from the endowment.
We are excited about the new BSN program and look forward to GSC adding graduate programs in the next few years. When GSC
begins to offer graduate education, Alumni Scholarships then will be reserved for alumni attending the GSC graduate degree program.
As always, thank you for your support of the Annual Fund, which makes our student and graduate scholarships possible.
