Good Afternoon! I hope this email finds you doing well. Most of you have either started or are about to start your Spring semester classes, so I wanted to touch base with you to wish you the best as well as ensure you have everything you need to provide your students with access to KellerOnline. If you need me to resend your school code information or your personal login information, please let me know and I'd be happy to send that to you. A few notes:
Students do not need to create new accounts each semester. Their accounts are on until 6 months beyond their graduation date (which they enter during registration)
It will, once again, be in the budget for KOL to do $10,000 in scholarships in the fall, so I encourage you to get as many students as possible using the service!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. If you need a refresher of the service, I'd be happy to set up a demonstration for you! Have a great semester!

According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a global outplacement consultancy, the environmental sector is among the top five industries expected to offer the best opportunities for job seekers during the economic slump.*

……………"Tips to give your students: They need to be very versatile is the safety field. They need high level of written and verbal skills, creativity, research skills, high efficiency at multi-tasking, know how to prioritize, how to make a “concept version” of a project in order to get more time to make a good product. Being very familiar with computers – Word, Excel, and Publishing is huge. Companies are asking a lot out of safety personal. They need to start their “networks”! Make sure they have co-students phone and emails. Join ASSE and attend the chapter meetings and meet other professionals. Also, a lot of companies have started placing high value on ASP, CSP and CIH"……………………. Gay Burkette (Graduate Student)
