The Accreditation Challenges in Transnational Educational Ecology: The Ghana...Valdosta State University
The transnational nature of the contemporary educational ecology has placed many national accreditation boards under an enormous pressure in executing their mandate of monitoring, supervising, and granting accreditation to academic institutions and the programs they offer. In recent times, the Ghana National Accreditation Board (NAB from now on) has come under an immense public scrutiny for what the public may have rightly perceived as its failure to perform its gatekeeping role in safeguarding the credibility of educational products sold to the Ghanaian public by some unaccredited educational institutions.
Using a purposive comparative framework, we selected for interrogation cases of institutions and individuals who have come under public scrutiny for awarding and receiving academic qualifications and awards that the public considers questionable. This is to answer three pertinent questions:
I. What is the accreditation status of institutions selected for analysis?
II. Who are the individuals associated with these institutions?
III. What are the motives of these individuals for acquiring these degrees/awards?
The report indicates that some of the institutions in question are in breach of the NAB’s instrument of authority, while others have acquired NAB’s accreditation under questionable arrangements. The report further indicates that two categories of individuals are identifiable in these accreditation controversies. While one group views higher academic qualifications as career tools, the other considers these awards as status symbols for self-actualization and a seal for the legitimization of their place of honor in the public’s eye. An uncritical-propaganda-dogged media coupled with an unquestioning public continues to fuel the practice.

Slides from a presentation describing the merits of the Royal Society of Biology's CPD scheme. I can take no credit for the creation of the scheme, but have found it an extremely helpful way to capture the kind of "evidence" of ongoing professional development which is required for appraisals, awards and applications. This talk was given at BioSummit2017, an annual gathering of teaching-dominant UK Bioscience academics.

Unconventional Opportunities for Graduate StudentsMarkita Landry
Stuck in a research rut? Bored with the grad school day-to-day?
Below is a short presentation I compiled on 'unconventional' approaches to your 5 (or 6, or 7...) years in grad school. I've participated in several of these great programs, and I can say for certain I wouldn't be where I am today without having participated.
These programs got me from bungee jumping in Costa Rica, to discovering a new research passion at Osaka University, to meeting Bill Gates in Germany! Take a look at these Fellowship, Award, and International Research Opportunities that are the underrated, low-hanging fruit of graduate school!

Editor's Notes
While you’re in school, it’s important to find opportunities to meet and network with medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals. Making connections early can provide increased direction in your studies and even lead to internships and job prospects.
If you’re looking to stand out and get ahead, you need to apply for the ASRT Student Leadership Development Program.
Through the program, participating students get to:
Learn about the American Society of Radiologic Technologists
Attend the ASRT Educational Symposium and Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting
Participate in courses and fun activities for students
Receive an assigned professional mentor for the meeting
If you are selected as a participant of the 2017 ASRT Student Leadership Development Program, you will get to travel to Orlando, Florida to participate. You’ll receive:

A stipend for meals
Other travel expenses
In order to be eligible to apply, you must be a student enrolled in a primary medical imaging or radiation therapy program, an ASRT student member and a member of an ASRT affiliate society. Locally, our affiliate society is ___________________________(State/Local Affiliate). If your state does not have an ASRT affiliate society, you can join one of a nearby state.
To apply, you simply submit an application and a 500- to 700-word essay addressing How would you grow professionally from your participation in the ASRT Student Leadership Development Program?
You can apply through Dec. 19, 2016 at www.asrt.org/studentleadership.
In the meantime, you can get started by joining the ASRT as a student member.
As the world’s first professional organization for technologists who perform diagnostic medical imaging exams, ASRT works to uphold education, ethical and practice standards for the profession.
ASRT is the only umbrella association in the radiologic sciences. That means it represents every discipline, specialty and career level in the radiologic sciences. There are benefits for everyone in the profession, from students to department managers and CT technologists to radiation therapists.
As a student, ASRT provides you with access to professional publications and online study tools like physics and radiation therapy physics modules, anatomy resources and online drill and practice exercises.
You’ll also gain access to career resources, an online community for questions and networking, scholarships and discounts. Discounts on exam review materials, textbooks, uniforms and insurance can add up to hundreds of dollars in savings! Also, upon graduation, tools like the ASRT JobBank®, Salary Estimator and Career Essentials videos can help you plan your career.
