            Shawnee State University’s Shannon Lawson, assistant professor of English and Humanities, has returned from her 12-day People to People Citizen Ambassador Program trip in Rwanda, Africa.
            “I had an amazing time and I would recommend any faculty member or student to go on this trip because you learn so much and get a chance to see what Rwanda and Africa is actually like,” Lawson said.
            The delegates traveled all around Rwanda meeting the teachers and sharing their crafts of teaching with each other. They visited nurseries, primary and secondary schools, universities and orphanages.
            “The way we exchanged our teaching strategies was we would ask each other questions over a meal and just discuss the different pieces of literature and techniques we use in our classrooms,” Lawson said. “Although it was an informal setting, the African teachers were able to learn of our techniques and we learned of popular African literature.”
            The group also had the chance to see how Rwanda is rebuilding after the genocide. They visited millennium villages which are designed by the government to build new schools, industries and co-operations to help people make a living after the damages from the genocide. New Dawn Associates organized the group’s local visits.
            “We had a chance to go to an orphanage, Les Enfants de Dieu that houses 130 homeless boys. This man, Rafiki Callixte, supports and funds all of these boys on his own and teaches them to be independent, self-sufficient and obtain jobs when they leave the orphanage,” Lawson said. “He takes donations and the Web site,                   www.enfantsdedieu.org, tells more of what the orphanage is about.”
            Lawson hopes to be able to take a group of students to Africa to teach and let them experience African culture first-hand.

            For the past three years, Shawnee State University has provided state-approved food safety training awarding more than 150 ServSafe Food Protection Certifications. ServSafe is a nationally recognized and accredited program.
            The ServSafe Food Safety Manager Certification Program was developed by the National Restaurant Association and leads the way in providing foodservice industry with an up-to-date comprehensive food safety training and certification program.
            “The two-day comprehensive ServSafe training at Shawnee State educates attendees on the elements of safe food handling and how to design a safety program that will protect customers from potential food-borne illness.” said Brenda Covert, manager of Business and Industry Training, “This training not only teaches attendees the ‘how and why’ of safe food handling, but also teaches them specifics on micro-organisms and their relationship to food-borne illness. In addition, they learn sanitation management and pest control.”
            The State Of Ohio requires that every food service establishment have a person certified in food safety or be able to demonstrate knowledge of food-borne illness and how to prevent its occurrence.
            ServSafe provides the restaurant and food service industry with an up-to-date, comprehensive food safety training and certification program and it is recognized both in Ohio and Kentucky Departments of Health.
            According to the Center for Disease Control, an estimated 76 million cases of food-borne illness occur each year in the United States as a result of the mishandling of food by workers. In addition more than 500,000 people are hospitalized each year and at least 5,000 people die as a result of food-borne illness.
            The CDC reports that 90 percent of reported cases of food-borne illness are related to poor food-handling practices involving improper holding temperatures and poor personal hygiene.
            The Business and Industry Training Department at Shawnee State University offers the ServSafe Certification course on a quarterly basis.
