John Glenn Internship Program

The John Glenn School of Public Affairs High School Internship Program

This unique public service internship program allows high school students in the spring semester of their senior year to gain first-hand experience within organizations in the public service sector. As a service-learning program, students also participate in an academic seminar at Ohio State that reinforces their internship experience. Internship placement locations have included the statehouse, city council, state agencies, local government offices, non-profit organizations, and positions at Ohio State. Applicants must meet admission requirements for the Academy and submit the John Glenn School's High School Internship Program application.

See Mr. Koebel if you are potentially interested in this program for next year.

"Share the Love" Suicide Prevention Night

Did you know that suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens? Did you know that Licking County's suicide rate is higher than the national average? Are you interested in making a difference on this very important issue?

Licking County Mental Health of America is sponsoring a "Share the Love" prevention night across Licking county on Friday, May 4th. Similar events will be held at schools across the county on the same night.

The night will include speakers, role plays, pizza, and prizes (Kindles). More details to follow soon.

I am looking for 8-10 students to serve on a committee for this event to help me as I coordinate it. See me ASAP if interested.

Body Image Awareness

Mr. Koebel will present to Psychology and Sociology classes later this week regarding body image and eating disorder issues. We are constantly bombarded with images of thin, beautiful people which can make it very difficult to maintain a healthy body image.

Some statistics to ponder:

-One in four college-aged women engages in disordered eating.
-Due to public perception, men are less likely to seek help for eating disorders.
-If Barbie were a real person, she would have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
-Most fashion models are thinner than 98% of women.

Many of the images that we see in the media are not real. They are edited, altered, or airbrushed in some way. The following "Evolution" video from Dove cleverly shows how images are altered to fit an "ideal."
