In 1972, J.C. Dumas was an aspiring journalist for The War Cry high school newspaper at Westport Road High School in Louisville. His assignment for the “all about colleges” section was to look at opportunities available for women in the area at the time.

Dumas looked at the landscape and noted that: "In Louisville, a girl’s dreams CAN come true, for it is home of two outstanding secretarial schools- Sullivan Business College and Spencerian College".

You can read his original article Business Schools a Must for Girls on the Best Age Ever blog.

Today, the research project assistant at Preston-Osborne Marketing Communications & Research in Lexington,celebrates being "inspired by" the women, including his own boss, who have overcome numerous barriers to success.

In Looking Back at 1972, Dumas provides an update to his 1972 article.

Jan Gordon, Executive Director of Spencerian College Louisville, has been selected to become a Team Chair for the Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), the accreditation body for Spencerian and more than 800 other learning institutions.

The Team Chair coordinates accreditation visits along with an ACICS staff member. The chair is a mentor to team members, processes the team report, and is the liaison between the team and the school administration.

Jan was selected from a large number of applicants by the Chair Selection Committee. Applicants were evaluated based on their resume, references, experience in education, and experience with accreditation.

The recent Alumni Weekend for the Louisville campus, "was truly a first class event," says Executive Director Jan Gordon. "If you were not able to join us this weekend you really missed a terrific time".

As the staff takes Thanksgiving week to be thankful for everyone who made the event possible (and to get some much needed rest), we wanted our graduates to know, again, how much we appreciate them.

As Chancellor A R Sullivan indicated during the dinner Saturday night, wiithout you choosing to further your education at Spencerian College, none of this would be possible.

Serious health consequences from improper drug use can go undetected for months or years. The International Center for Advanced Pharmacy (INCAPS) at Sullivan College of Pharmacy is conducting free mini medical consultations every month at the Louisville area St. Matthews & Highlands Rainbow Blossom markets to help you understand your medications and to use them properly.

The interaction of multiple medications, foods, over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements can all have an impact on your health.  According to a recent article in the Courier-Journal, it’s important to become knowledgeable drug interactions since negative effects don't necessarily happen right away.

Bring along your prescriptions to the events and Dr.Nash’s team will review them noting any dosage or administration concerns. The team will be at the Saint Matthews store on Lexington Road on Thursday, December 16, from 2-6pm.

The Department of Education is currently considering regulations that will have a dramatically negative impact on programs offered at Spencerian College and the other Sullivan University System institutions; Sullivan University and the Sullivan College of Technology and Design (formerly Louisville Technical Institute).

The proposed regulations seem, at least in part, to be a way to demonize for-profit schools. Steve Foerster, an E-Learning professional and friend of Dr. Anthony Piña, Dean of Online Studies at Sullivan University, has published a list of  Ten Reasons to Love them instead.
