  • Drug Strategy: The City of Marshall

    Akgul, Arif (Indiana State University, 2023-01)
    This course introduces the students the main themes and elements of intelligence. Specifically, the students will identify the intelligence community, intelligence cycle, policy making process, and critical issues about intelligence discipline. According to Clark (2016, p.294) “strategic intelligence is about the production of intelligence that is required for forming policy, strategy and plans in government, the military, law enforcement, and industry. Strategic Intelligence is typically a product of intelligence research.” This course is divided into three parallel tracks covering strategic theory, the practice of strategic intelligence, and the application of those principles to “real life” problems. Students will participate throughout the course as a member of a group in a large-scale estimative project.
  • MARSHALL, IL BROWNFIELD/SUPERFUND SITE PROJECT

    Myers, Nathan (Indiana State University, 2023-01)
    This course will examine modern public policymaking in the United States. We will examine the different forms that policy can take and how each branch of government can leave a lasting impact on policy. The course will investigate the environment in which policy in the U.S. is shaped and the key official and unofficial actors involved. The course will investigate how public policy issues are defined and earn a place on the policy agenda. The remainder of the course will focus on various criteria for evaluating policy: effectiveness, efficiency, equity, liberty, security, and resilience. The manner in which policy often requires trade-offs between these values will be discussed, as will the tension between evidence-based and value-based policy analysis. These issues will be addressed through a combination of guided class discussion and an on-going in-class simulation covering policy development and implementation.

  • Community Facing Athletic Trainer

    Post, Eric (Indiana State University, 2023-01)
    In an initial planning meeting with Marshall Mayor John Hasten, the mayor identified the potential need for an athletic trainer to serve as a community-facing health professional within the Marshall community in order to provide access to highquality injury prevention, evaluation, and care. The agreed-upon objectives for this project were to: ● Perform a needs assessment to determine the potential costs and resources necessary to provide a community-facing athletic trainer within the Marshall community. ● Share perspectives on how athletic trainers can provide services to serve the health needs in the Marshall community. ● Determine the best strategies for providing access to athletic trainers in the Marshall community. Students collaborated with Nora Swalls, Executive Director of the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce, and with Dr. Denise Pine-Mattas, local family medicine physician at Cork Medical, to perform the initial needs assessment before researching and developing the rest of this report.
