Calhoun's Mock Casualty Drill Scheduled for April 23


Students from the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Nursing programs will conduct a mock mass casualty training drill on Thursday, April 23, 2015, beginning at 9:30 am in the area of the Health Sciences Center and Kelley Gymnasium on the Decatur campus.

The mock disaster will simulate a scenario involving a threat to persons/property which has just occurred on campus. Approximately 25-30 simulated casualties will be a part of the exercise and will be portrayed by Calhoun Allied Health students, who will have a full range of mock injuries.

Calhoun nursing students will receive the “patients” from the EMS students for treatment at the college’s “hospital”, located in the Health Sciences Center. In addition to Calhoun EMS and Nursing faculty, Calhoun Police and Security personnel and area fire, EMS agencies, area police departments and air medical flight services from MedFlight will participate with the students in this endeavor.

The specific circumstances of the mock disaster will not be announced in order to preserve the “realness” of the event. Past mock drill scenarios have included a bus crash, bomb threat, and an active shooter incident. 

So that students, staff and visitors to the campus will not confuse the drill with a real situation, notices will go out across the college and signs indicating a training drill is currently underway will be posted in the area of the activity.


An Acoustic Show including a Q&A with Billy Bob Thornton
 
The Boxmasters will take stage tonight, April 13 at Merrimack Hall Performing Arts Center at 7:30pm, like you've never seen them!  Don't miss this intimate evening of music, stories and entertainment.
 
Teddy Andreadis, J.D. Andrew, Brad Davis and Billy Bob "Bud" Thornton make up The Boxmasters; an American roots-rock band of seasoned musicians whose sound is rich in rhythm and story. Formed in 2007, the band released the self-titled debut record "The Boxmasters" to critical acclaim. 
 
After touring the country in 2008, The Boxmasters released a Christmas album - "Christmas Cheer" - and by April of 2009 had released their third album - "Modbilly". Modbilly later was ranked #14 on the 2009 Americana Music Association's Top 100 Albums of The Year. The Boxmasters have a new album - "Somewhere Down The Road" - slated for release in the Spring of 2015, along with an aggressive tour schedule that kicks off with a slew of LIVE performances from Texas to Tennessee and throughout the South.

Are you a creative person with an eye for design? If so, this course will show you how to transform plain living spaces into beautiful and functional rooms.

Interior design takes training as well as talent, and these lessons will give you the know-how you need to design a room from floor to ceiling. You’ll delve into color theory, industry trends, spatial arrangements, floor plans, traditional and modern interior design ideas, and other basics. In addition, you’ll explore a range of careers in interior design and get insider tips for entering this exciting field.

Because interior design is constantly evolving, you’ll also learn about some of the latest trends affecting the industry. You’ll investigate “green” sustainable design, and you’ll find out how to modify your designs for people with special needs.

As you master design skills step-by-step, you’ll complete your first project: a fully developed room design complete with spatial layout, lighting, and finish selections. Your new knowledge and hands-on practice will give you the confidence you need to start creating beautiful residential interiors for yourself and others.
