Greater Miami Valley Computer-Science and Math Circles
GMVCSC | GMVMC |
Dear Miami Valley Residents,
The Greater Miami Valley Computer Science Circle (GMVCSC), on planning its 3rd year of operation, is an organization dedicated to helping the students of the Miami Valley and beyond. Our Computer circle focuses on computational thinking and problem solving. We use Python/Java/HTML to teach concepts like Algorithm design, Web design, Mobile apps, Robotics, and Information Security. We currently only have 1 class level, as we get more instructors we will try to break out into beginning and intermediate/advanced classes. The GMVCSC is open to 7-12 graders who have had at least Algebra 1. Faculty come from local school districts, area colleges and universities, private industry, local government. We have students from all over the area and beyond; we are truly a "Greater Miami Valley" organization!
We meet from 10:00am-Noon the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month during the school year (September-early May) in the Mathematical and Microbiological Sciences (MM) Building on the campus of Wright State University.
If you would like to inquire about joining one of our groups, please contact either myself (at ken.nelson@wright.edu) or Dr. Munsup Seoh (at munsup.seoh@wright.edu). Spaces are limited! If there is not space for your child at the time you email us, then you will be placed on our waiting list. Available spaces will be offered to those on our waiting list first, with priority given to those on the list longest.
If you or someone you know, would be interested in volunteering with our organization, then please let us know as well! We will be happy to talk with you and see where your skills and talents can be best used!
Lastly, please let us know if you have any questions and see the attached flyer about our group. Please share it with anyone who would be interested! We thank you in advance for reading this letter and wish you well!

Dear Wright State Family, | It was with great pride and enthusiasm that I began work last week as the seventh president of Wright State University. | The journey that has brought me here has taught me some of life's important lessons—how to overcome challenges through perseverance and collaboration, to leverage diversity as a strength, and to recognize that shared success is our greatest fortune. All of it, all of these lessons and more, are rooted in my experiences helping students realize their dreams. I trust you would say the same. It is our collective calling. Thank you for letting me join you in this noble endeavor. | I arrive at Wright State University with knowledge gained from my experiences in higher education, and I believe, as your president, I will gain further invaluable wisdom from you. | We will begin working together on a comprehensive strategic plan that ensures financial sustainability for Wright State, and that fosters a campus atmosphere aimed at providing our graduates opportunities to excel in fields that define the future and our region. | I have spent much of my short time on campus focusing on meeting many of you. In my first week I filled my time with a singular goal in mind: begin our campus conversation. To start, I met with your representatives from faculty, staff, Student Government, alumni, retirees, and the Wright State Foundation. We also shared laughs, stories, and thoughtful aspirations at the welcome reception in the Student Union. It is my hope that these are the beginnings of a never-ending campus conversation that bears fruit for all of us, but most of all for those seeking to better themselves and their families through higher education. | I am committed to communicating and shaping a culture of administrative transparency that includes town halls, campus tours, this monthly message, and a personal goal to visit each campus unit, in time. | But for today I leave you with one question and a request for a little help. As we begin to work on our comprehensive plan to shape our future, consider this question: | Imagine that it is ten years from now and Wright State University has met its most important goals. What does the university look like and how is it different from today? | Some of you may remember this question from my fora when I was a candidate to lead this accomplished university. I find responses to this question to be a helpful barometer for shaping our shared vision. | Please consider sharing your responses with me at wright.edu/president so we can begin a conversation that will lay the foundation for our future. You have emerged from recent challenges stronger than you were before, with better systems and better checks. But this work is not done. We are leaner, but it is also time to lean in. | We must embrace our bright future together with an eager and unwavering commitment to our students' success. It is through our collective and concerted effort that we can realize a vision through which Wright State University, built upon five decades of accrued success, can not only sustain itself but can also flourish for another 50 years. | Warmest regards,
Cheryl B. Schrader
President | | |

Subject: FW: Ombudsman Office Weekly Update 7-7-2017
This week your Ombudsman opened cases on matters related to subsidized housing, the IRS, and financial exploitation of the elderly living in the community. These cases are for residents of Centerville, Dayton, Brookville, Harrison Township and Oakwood.
Instances of financial exploitation are particularly difficult for the victims because the perpretrators are often someone close to them, or who pretends to be close to them. This week we assisted the daughter and son of a 73 year old Veteran, who is recovering from a stroke, to develop a plan to establish a Power of Attorney to protect him from a woman who repeatedly talks him into taking her to the ATM machine to take out money for her. The man was in arrears in his rent and utilities due to the exploitation.
We also provided referrals and brief assistance for residents of Brookville, Dayton, Harrison Township, Kettering Oakwood and Trotwood on matters with the ADAMHS Board, Adult Protective Services, the Federal Trade Commission, Housing and Urban Development, the IRS, legal issues, social services, the Attorney General's Office, and the State Medical Board.
Our Long-Term Care Ombudsmen opened cases in five area facilities on unwanted discharges; assistance with eating; needs for equipment, the administration of medication; failure to respond to requests for assistance; accidental injury; unresponsive staff; pressure sores; and staff shortages. We prevented two unwanted discharges from nursing homes and participated in seven surveys by the Ohio Department of Health by providing information about the verified complaints in the facilities being surveyed.

Facebook Weekly Update: July 3, 2017 – July 7, 2017
“Mail mix up solved--woman grateful”
Recently the Ombudsman received a call from a woman having a problem with mistaken mail. The woman is a senior citizen and is also legally blind. She received a piece of mail which contained a debt collection notice from the Division of Parole that was handed over to the Attorney General’s Office for collection. The woman was embarrassed to receive mail from the Attorney General’s Office and was concerned about what her letter carrier might think. She was also embarrassed at receiving a debt collection notice from the Division of Parole because she insisted she had never been arrested. She was also worried that because of her poor vision, she did not realize that she was opening someone else’s mail until she had read the notice. The reason she opened the mail was because her name was striking similar to the name of the person owing the debt. The first names began with the same letter, the middle initials were the same, and the surnames were the same. But the person owing the debt is male.
The woman provided the Ombudsman with the number on the debt collection notice. The number was to a private law office. The Ombudsman called a staff person at the Attorney General’s office and explained the issue to her. The staff person looked up the woman’s address, and then agreed to contact the law office. The staff person did call back to report that mail to the man owing the debt had come back marked “Return to Sender.” In searching for a valid address for the man they mistakenly added the woman’s address. The law office removed the address so the woman would not receive any further mail about the issue. The woman was extremely grateful to have the mistaken mail matter corrected.
The Ombudsman Column, a production of the Joint Office of Citizens’ Complaints, summarizes selected problems that citizens have had with government services, schools and nursing homes in the Dayton area. Contact the Ombudsman by writing to the Beerman Building, 11 W. Monument Avenue, Suite 606, Dayton 45402, or telephone (937) 223-4613, or by electronic mail at ombudsman@dayton-ombudsman.org or like us on Facebook at “Dayton Ombudsman Office.”
