The College Board Supports Students with Free, Remote Learning Opportunities Ahead of At-Home AP Exams in May

April 7, 2020

NEW YORK, April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The College Board is supporting AP students with free, remote learning opportunities ahead of online, at-home Advanced Placement testing for its 2019-20 exam administration in May.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8667251-the-college-board-free-remote-learning-ap-exams/

“We surveyed thousands of students from all over the country, and they overwhelmingly want to test,” said Trevor Packer, the senior vice president of AP & Instruction. “We want to give every student the chance to earn the college credit they’ve worked toward throughout the year. That’s why we quickly set up a process that’s simple, secure, and accessible.”

These at-home testing options will provide more than three million students worldwide the opportunity to earn the college credit and placement they’ve been working hard toward all school year. The College Board surveyed 18,000 AP students, and 91% indicated they want to complete this important step, urging the organization not to cancel these exams.

Students can now continue preparing for exams at home with access to free, live and on-demand, mobile-friendly AP review lessons, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. Any relevant free-response questions in AP Classroom will be unlocked for digital use so students can access all practice questions of the type that will appear on the exam. AP Classroom is a free tool introduced earlier this year, which includes new instructional resources that provide daily support for students and teachers.

This year, the traditional, in-person AP Exams will be replaced by shorter, online versions that students can take at home in 45 minutes, on their device of choice—smartphone, tablet, or computer. Students without access to the internet or a device can contact the College Board to indicate their needs. Certain art and design courses will use portfolio submissions and will not have a separate online exam. All deadlines for portfolio submissions have been extended to May 26, 2020. Students taking world languages exams will complete two spoken tasks consistent with free-response questions three and four on the current AP Exam; written responses will not be required.

Details about exam fees and cancellations, credit and placement, calculator policies, and more will be added and continually updated on the College Board website and shared via email, through online educator communities, and social media.

WGU’s Gap Scholarship to Cover Majority of Costs for Some California Community College Grads

April 6, 2020

SALT LAKE CITY, April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Western Governors University (WGU) is making it easier for graduates of California community colleges to transfer and earn their bachelor’s degrees at the competency-based university. The university today announced the launch of the California Gap Scholarship, which will be offered to students who have earned an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) or an A.S. in Nursing and are also receiving Pell Grant funding. The university has set aside $50,000 in funding to help students who meet the requirements.

The California Gap Scholarship will be offered in the amount of tuition not covered by the student’s Pell Grant, leading to minimal out-of-pocket costs for students to earn their bachelor’s degrees at WGU. The scholarship will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and is designated specifically for students who qualify for Pell Grants and have completed an ADT or A.S. in Nursing degree from any of the 114 California community colleges.

“Increasing access to affordable learning for everyone, and especially people from underserved backgrounds, is a big part of our mission,” said Rick Benbow, Regional Vice President for WGU. “The California Gap Scholarship will support our efforts by allowing many community college students to seamlessly transfer into four-year degree programs with very little out-of-pocket cost.”

Completely online and competency-based, WGU is designed to meet the needs of nontraditional learners. The competency-based model allows students to take advantage of their knowledge and experience to move quickly through material they already know so they can focus on what they still need to learn, saving both time and money. Success at WGU is measured in mastery of a competency or skill, rather than time spent in a classroom. WGU faculty members work one-on-one with students as mentors, offering guidance, support, and individualized instruction.

WGU has had a partnership agreement with the California Community College Board of Governors since 2017 that enables the state’ community college graduates to easily transfer credits to WGU and gives them a 5 percent tuition discount and access to scholarship opportunities. Offering the California Gap Scholarship deepens the relationship of this partnership and further increases access to affordable post-secondary for California residents.

CBT College temporarily transitions to remote online learning model during the health crisis.

April 6, 2020

MIAMI, April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To comply with the social distancing requirements of the CDC, CBT College, the accredited trade and vocational school located in South Florida, announced that their Campuses across Miami Dade County has temporarily transitioned from classroom instruction to a distance education model until further notice.

“At these difficult times, our main concern is the health and welfare of our CBT Family. So, we decided to make the temporary transition from classroom instruction to remote online learning to minimize the spread of the virus and to comply with the official guidelines”, said Luis Llerena, President & CEO at CBT College.

To ensure digital accessibility throughout the transition to virtual classrooms, CBT College leadership assessed the internet service and laptops availability among the faculty and student body, to assure that everyone could have the proper access to the remote learning platform. “Normally, students with limited remote access use our labs and facilities to complete their classwork,” said Llerena. “But in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we addressed the remote availability limitations by providing laptops to students that need them, ensuring that they can continue their courses online despite the unprecedented set of challenges that we are all facing nowadays.”

Llerena also mentioned that CBT College’s next step is to implement a hybrid remote-onsite learning environment once CDC and Miami Dade County guidelines allow faculty, students, and staff to return to the facilities completely. Meanwhile, they also set up a CBT Hotline (786-693-8896) to inform about the latest news regarding the shift to the remote working/learning environment during the pandemic, and a FAQ page within the CBT Website to answer questions related to CBT College and COVID-19.

“During these challenging times, we continue to be committed to providing a healthy and safe educational setting to our community and to continue to meet our mission of preparing our students for technical careers that fulfill the employment and economic development needs within the local, national, and international markets.”

– Luis Llerena, President and CEO.

Domino’s franchisees are already out helping their local communities.

“We empowered our managers to look for opportunities in their local neighborhoods to donate pizzas to those in need,” said Domino’s franchisee Pat Farmer, who owns stores in the Seattle–Tacoma area. “It could be for families, frontline workers or even those showing up to work at our grocery stores. Stores are now actively looking for who they can help next. They have pride in how they’re making a difference during difficult times.”

“We take our responsibility seriously and we are honored that we can provide meals to those in need, as well as those who are working to save lives during this difficult time,” said Memphis-area Domino’s franchisee Jason Shifflett.

Shifflett has committed to donating an additional 1,000 pizzas to those in need in his community.

Trial for Potential Coronavirus Treatment is Underway at Montefiore and Einstein

April 3, 2020

BRONX, N.Y., April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine has joined a clinical trial to evaluate the experimental drug remdesivir to treat people who are hospitalized with severe COVID-19 infection. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, is sponsoring the trial. This treatment has the potential to help people who have serious lung complications as a result of COVID-19. Recruitment for the trial began in March and is still underway.

Montefiore-Einstein is one of 46 testing sites nationwide and is the first site in New York State to open. NIAID launched the multi-center international effort to determine if remdesivir, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug, acts against COVID-19 viral infection. Remdesivir has shown promise in animal models of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), both caused by human coronaviruses.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is being led by principal investigator Barry Zingman, M.D., professor of medicine at Einstein and clinical director, infectious diseases, in the Moses division of Montefiore Health System. The trial is “adaptive,” meaning it can be modified to include other investigational treatments. “This flexibility allows us to add additional therapies to the trial step-by-step to improve treatment as the pandemic continues,” said Dr. Zingman.

Trial participants are hospitalized patients with a laboratory-confirmed coronavirus infection and lung complications, including rattling sounds when breathing, a need for supplemental oxygen, abnormal chest X-rays showing pneumonia, or the need for a mechanical ventilator.

People in the treatment group will receive 200 mg of remdesivir intravenously on the first day of their enrollment in the study and will receive another 100 mg each day for the duration of hospitalization, for up to 10 days total. The placebo group will receive an equal volume of a solution that resembles remdesivir but contains inactive ingredients.

Montefiore and Einstein’s robust clinical trial infrastructure contributed to its selection and rapid approval for participation.

No therapies have yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating COVID-19.

Remdesivir, an investigational antiviral therapy, was developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Purchasers of Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes: A Class Action Settlement May Affect Your Rights

April 3, 2020

PHILADELPHIA, April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by HF Media LLC regarding the Charmin Freshmates Class Action Settlement.

WHO IS AFFECTED?

A class action settlement has been reached involving Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes. The settlement involves all pre-moistened wipes sold under the Charmin brand name bearing the word “flushable” on the package label (“Wipes”). The lawsuit claims that the Wipes are not actually flushable. P&G denies these allegations and maintains that the Wipes perform as advertised. You may be an eligible class member if you purchased the Wipes in the State of New York, between May 23, 2011 and March 6, 2020.

WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE?

In connection with this settlement, The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) will change the labeling of the Wipes and agreed to stricter industry-standard testing protocols. P&G will also pay a partial cash refund of (i) seventy cents ($0.70) per package purchased, up to $6.30 per Household without proof of purchase; or (ii) one dollar and twenty cents ($1.20) for the first package with proof of purchase (and $1.00 for any additional packages with proof of purchase), up to $50.20 per Household with proof of purchase. Proof of purchase means the actual label or bar code portion of the package of the Product (not a photocopy or digital image), or the original or photocopy or digital image of an itemized sales receipt originally generated by a retail seller showing the date and place of purchase, name of the product purchased, and the amount paid.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

You must submit a claim online by September 21, 2020 or by mail so that it is received (not merely postmarked) no later than September 21, 2020 to receive a payment. The deadline may be extended, please check the website for updates.

You can opt out of the class and keep your right to sue P&G on the released claims by June 25, 2020. The settlement will release all claims related to Plaintiff’s contentions that P&G’s marketing, advertising, and sale of the Wipes with the representations “flushable,” “septic safe,” and “safe for sewer and septic systems” were false or misleading. There is no release of claims for personal injury or property damage allegedly caused by use of the Wipes.

You can also object to the settlement by June 25, 2020, which does not affect your ability to file a claim. For details on how to opt out, object, or to file a claim, please visit www.BelfioreWipeSettlement.com or contact the Claim Administrator.

If the settlement is approved, the attorneys for the class will ask the Court for an award from P&G of up to $3,200,000 in fees, costs, and expenses, and a class representative payment of $10,000 for the named plaintiff. Note that the hearing date may change without further notice to you although any such change will be reflected on the website. You may attend the hearing, but you do not have to.
