 Good day, Bulldogs! It's Monday, August 11, 2025, and welcome back to the hottest podcast on campus. Let's dive into the latest happenings at Jarvis Christian University. First up, we're thrilled to announce that Jarvis Christian University has been approved for a Cybersecurity Registered Apprenticeship Program by the Texas Department of Labor. This initiative, developed in partnership with industry leaders, aims to equip our students with the skills and experience needed to excel in the rapidly growing field of cybersecurity. In other news, our university continues to make a significant impact on the regional economy. According to the 2024 Economic Impact Report released by the Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas, JCU contributes a total of $39 million to the regional economy. This includes $31 million in direct spending by the institution, its employees, students, and visitors, plus an additional $8 million in indirect and induced spending through business stimulation and job creation. On the academic front, our biology professor, Dr. Shakhawat Bhuiyan, is leading a groundbreaking research project funded by a $2.25 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The project, titled "Interdisciplinary Research Infusion into STEM Education Undergraduate Program," aims to train a diverse group of students by integrating education and research in STEM fields. Over the next five years, students will have the opportunity to research plant-based bioactive compounds and nanoparticles to potentially develop new treatments for cancer. In leadership news, President Dr. Glenell M. Lee-Pruitt has appointed Dr. Regina Stovall Robinson as the Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, effective July 1, 2024. Dr. Robinson brings over 40 years of academic, clinical, and administrative experience in higher education. On the student achievement front, senior business accounting major, Vladimir Avramov, has been making waves both academically and professionally. Not only has he been elected president of the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), but he's also the proud recipient of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants (TXCPA) scholarship. Vladimir's dedication and leadership continue to inspire us all. In the realm of arts and media, Communications and Media Arts faculty member, Trenton McKay Judson, has released his first feature-length film, "Bad B*tch." Set for global release, the film emphasizes strength, justice, and bold representation. Kudos to Dr. Judson for this remarkable accomplishment. Lastly, our campus has seen some exciting developments. Thanks to a generous grant from The Home Depot, we've unveiled the newly renovated Innovation Lounge in the Olin Library. This space is set to be a hub for creativity, collaboration, and innovation for all students. That's all for today's update. Stay tuned for more news and stories from our vibrant Jarvis Christian University community. Until next time, keep striving for excellence, Bulldogs!
