CASPR stands for Continuous Air & Surface Pathogen Reduction. CASPR takes ambient air and creates highly effective oxidizing molecules, predominately Hydrogen Peroxide. Coastal Alabama College researched different disinfection systems and found CASPR to be the most effective for a populated indoor space.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., January 27, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Coastal Alabama became the first college in the U.S. to install CASPR “Continuous Air and Surface Pathogen Reduction” technology to disinfect indoor environments 24/7, making them safer for students, faculty, and administration. Dr. Craig Pouncey, President of Coastal Alabama, started researching the most effective way to provide the safest indoor possible in early 2020. The staff vetted many air purification systems and discovered the medical-based company CASPR Technology, which was helping hospitals reduce Hospital Acquired infections (HAIs) in their ICUs. Natural Disinfection Solutions, NDS-360, distributes CASPR Technology and has expanded CASPR’s products into the commercial market during the pandemic and now helps people in homes, schools, offices, restaurants, churches, gyms, cruise ships, and buses. 

CASPR uses Natural Catalytic Conversion (NCC) technology that uses the natural molecules in our ambient air to combine and form highly oxidized molecules to fill the air of a room and then settle on all surfaces. The oxidized molecules are predominately hydrogen peroxide and are completely safe for people, pets, and plants. CASPR takes a proactive approach to attacking mold, fungi, bacteria, and viruses, so as soon as pathogens are exposed in the air or on surfaces, they are being attacked, which makes them less likely to be transmitted. This technology is the future of effective disinfection in indoor environments. Coastal has joined schools like LSU, Texas A&M, and Michigan State to install CASPR, but is the only college to install campus-wide to date. Coastal Alabama decided to cover the classrooms, dorms, common areas, cafeterias, and offices. The first installations started in June of 2022 and now are complete. They have installed 300 units from Gulf Shores to Gilbertown. Some of the CASPR BLU TILES can be seen in the ceilings, but if not, know that some are working behind the scenes in the HVAC ducts that cover multiple areas. Coastal Alabama is now one the leaders in campus safety and ready for what variant comes next.

Generation USA and the League of Southeastern Credit Unions and Affiliates have partnered with Envision Credit Union on Generation USA’s Credit Union Member Services Specialist Program, part of the Southeastern Credit Union Foundation’s (SECUF) Community Spark Program in Florida.

Credit Union Member Services Specialists work at credit unions as video tellers, in-person tellers, or call center representatives. They are responsible for providing exceptional member service through basic financial transitions and resolving member issues and requests.

Upon completion of the program, students will have the opportunity to interview with Generation USA’s employee partners.

“Now is a great time for people to seek opportunities to improve their financial lives, and we are very excited to partner with the League of Southeastern Credit Unions and Generation USA to offer members of our community a path to a rewarding career in the credit union industry,” said Hollie Maddox, SVP Chief Operations Officer, Envision Credit Union.

“We are thrilled about the growth of the Southeastern Credit Union Foundation’s Community Spark Program in Florida,” exclaimed Samantha Beeler, President of the League of Southeastern Credit Unions. “By partnering with Generation USA, we look forward to helping adult learners develop the skillsets needed to advance in today’s ever-changing workplace. While industries across the country are currently struggling to find and retain trained workers, we are proud of the collaborative effort by Florida credit unions to continue to improve people’s lives whether it is through credit union membership or by creating career opportunities for Floridians.”

About Generation

Generation is a nonprofit that transforms education to employment systems to prepare, place and support people into life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Even before the pandemic, more than 75 million young adults were out of work globally and three times as many were underemployed — and 375 million workers of all ages needed to learn new skills by 2030. At the same time, certain jobs remain in high demand and 40 percent of employers say a skills shortage leaves them with entry-level vacancies. To date, more than 38,000 people have graduated from Generation programs, which prepare them for meaningful careers in 14 countries. Generation works with more than 3,900 employer partners and many implementation partners and funders. For more, visit usa.generation.org.

WyoTech Announces Hall of Fame Program to Recognize Its Most Accomplished Alumni

Local entrepreneur and philanthropist teams up with Fusion’s three Florida campuses to stand up against bullying.

BOCA RATON, Fla., January 24, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Businesswoman and philanthropist Claudia Bartra and Fusion Academy in Miami, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach Gardens are teaming up to prevent bullying in their schools and communities. 

“We’re excited to have Claudia on board,” said Christina Seamster, Ph.D., Area Head of School. “She is a great community partner and we’re thrilled to be teaming up with her for our zero-tolerance bullying initiative.”

Bartra is actively involved in the community, notably with La Granja, her successful chain of award-winning Peruvian restaurants. Her philanthropic contributions include her work with ASPIRA, a youth organization for Latin American children, providing scholarships to students attending Palm Beach State College, and being honored for her support of children’s education both in the United States and her home country of Peru. Bartra deeply values the power of education, and her collaboration with Fusion Academy is no exception. 

Founded in 1989 in Solana Beach, California, Fusion Academy has 80 campuses across the U.S., including three in Florida: Boca Raton, Miami, and its most recent addition in Palm Beach Gardens. With one-to-one classrooms and personalized instruction, Fusion Academy can center every student’s needs while providing opportunities to interact with other students. During “Homework Cafe” time, students can work on homework collaboratively, play games, and eat snacks together. A student’s five-hour day at the school is built for their needs and encourages them to be the full version of themselves. Fusion campuses operate between 7:30 A.M. and 7:30 P.M. which gives students flexible learning opportunities that best fit their schedules. 

Every Fusion Academy location ensures each student experiences both academic and social-emotional core learner outcomes: being resourceful, critical thinking, self-awareness, and inclusivity. 

Claudia Bartra and Fusion Academy want to confront the nationwide problem of bullying and provide a resource for students where they can feel comfortable in addressing their concerns to their parents and teachers. Bullying not only affects the students who are being bullied, but also the school community as a whole. According to a 2019 report by the National Center for Educational Statistics, nearly 20% of students in the United States aged 12-18 reported being bullied at school.

Together, Bartra and Fusion Academy created actionable goals to prevent bullying in the school community and beyond:

1. Making every parent a partner in their child’s education and socio-emotional development. 
2. Providing holistic socio-emotional learning experiences. 
3. Being proactive and positive (for both teachers and students).
4. Provide safe spaces and teacher mentors for each student. 
5. Encourage peers to come to a common resolution with openness and inquiry. 
6. Inspire positive change to be a more reflective person.
   7. Identify individual biases and prejudices to become more self-aware and diffuse tense situations. 

Both Bartra and Seamster look forward to implementing the new initiative in 2023. Visit Fusion Academy for information, and to learn more about Claudia Bartra, go to www.claudiabartra.com.
