Paramedic program partners with Testing & Talent Assessment Center
The Testing & Talent Assessment Center, (formerly the ACT Testing Center) in WD 223, has partnered with Columbus State’s Emergency Medical Services program, coordinated by Carolyn Steffl. EMS will now use the Health Education System Admission Assessment (A2 Exam) for pre-testing in screening and selecting candidates for the Paramedic Program.
The Testing & Talent Assessment Center will schedule candidates, administer and proctor the exam, and provide score reports to the candidate and the EMS Paramedic coordinator. The A2 Exam is part of a set of rigorous criteria used to select candidates for the program.
The Testing & Talent Assessment Center has provided similar services to the RN, LPN, Multi-Competency Health, Nuclear Medicine, Radiography, Dental Hygiene, and Respiratory Therapy programs for the past several years. These degree programs use the A2 and other tests to screen and select candidates for degree programs.

Social Sciences offers Culture Jam Festival Nov. 9
Students in the Social Sciences Department’s Popular Culture classes will offer a Culture Jam Festival, presenting art, photography, music and essays, on Wednesday, November 9, from 5:30-9 p.m. in Nestor Hall Auditorium.
According to Adam Moskowitz, Ph.D., assistant professor in Social Sciences, the idea of “Culture Jamming” comes from Kalle Lasn's book Culture Jam. “In his book he calls for a commercial-free culture, a culture with authentic community and interactions that have not been automated through the process of commercialization,” said Moskowitz. “His book provides a critique of the increased bureaucratization of the modern world through the increasing role that corporations play in our lives.”
The event will also be live broadcast from 7-9 p.m. with Bob Fitrakis on www.talktainmentradio.com.
