Faculty Spotlight/Appreciation
At the close of the spring semester, we asked ISU students to give a shout-out to professors and instructors who have made an impact on their education and experience at ISU. Over the next few Issues of ROAR Weekly, we will highlight some of those professors and instructors in a “Professor Appreciation” series, as a thank you for all that they do to help our students achieve their academic goals.
Julie Frischmann dedicates herself to her students and their growth within their lives. One of her biggest motivations for being such a wonderful educator is seeing the students grow. She loves “seeing students start their college career and learning how to navigate their college career as they become better people,” seeing that kind of growth is a satisfying feeling for Frichmann as it adds to the incentive of being an educator. She wants students to know that she is there for them regardless of whether they complete her course.
Alex Bolinger has always enjoyed being on a college campus, having developed a deep love for the vitality of college life from an early age, when he accompanied his father who was working on a Ph.D. That early experience inspired an enthusiasm for becoming a teacher and working in a college setting. As an ISU alumni, he knows how great an ISU education can be, and he works hard to ensure that his students are given the best learning experience in his classes.

Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group

Losing a loved one to suicide can be a profoundly painful and isolating experience. The complexity of the emotions can feel overwhelming and often survivors struggle to know who to talk to for fear others won't understand. Counseling and Testing Service offers a group for survivors of suicide loss to connect with others who have suffered the loss of a loved one to suicide. CATS also offers a presentation where participants can gain greater understanding of the factors related to suicide loss and receive support. Both services are open to students, faculty, and staff.
