The associate of applied science degree program in radiologic technology on the С»ÆƬÊÓƵ Salem Campus recently received continued accreditation status from the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology for a period of eight years.

The national accreditation body awarded the С»ÆƬÊÓƵ Salem program the highest level possible, with the program meeting all 53 standards and no citations when reviewed earlier this year by a site visit team from the JRCERT.

While on campus, the JRCERT site-visit team met with administrators, clinical personnel, program faculty, student services personnel and students. The team complimented program personnel on a well-organized program with dedicated staff.

Additionally, 100 percent of the 2016 graduates of the С»ÆƬÊÓƵ Salem radiologic technology program passed the national certification examination and their job placement rate is 90 percent since graduation in May.

The radiologic technology personnel include Jan Gibson, senior program director; Judith Miller, clinical coordinator; Margie Iagulli, senior lecturer; Kelly Dragomir, lecturer and clinical coordinator; and Sherry DeWitt, secretary.

С»ÆƬÊÓƵ at Salem offers an associate of applied science in radiologic technology, as well as a bachelor’s degree in radiologic and imaging sciences technology with concentrations in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic medical sonography and radiation therapy.

Looking to better prepare fieldwork and clinical instructors and educators for working with Generation Z students, the С»ÆƬÊÓƵ College of Applied and Technical Studies' Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) programs will host a joint virtual continuing education session for licensed practitioners on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024.

For a group of elementary students from the Salem area, this past summer was not a time to take a break from learning. Instead, they participated in a series of workshops that introduced them to the science of psychology in fun and interactive ways.

Dr. Brad Bielski, interim dean of С»ÆƬÊÓƵ at Salem, announced those students named to the Spring 2024 President’s and Dean’s lists. To qualify for the President’s List, students must have a 4.0 grade point average and must have completed 15 hours during the semester. To qualify for the Dean’s List, students must earn a 3.40 or greater grade point average and must have completed 12 or more credit hours for the semester, the majority at the Salem Campus.

The students and their hometowns are:
