>>> COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

WE'LL LOOK AT A WE'LL LOOK AT A RECENT REPORT SHOWING THAT DOZENS OF ARIZONA PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE.ALSO TONIGHT: HOW DEEP-BRAIN STIMULATION CAN HELP TREAT A VARIETY OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS INCLUDING EPILEPSY AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE.AND, A NEW EFFORT TO HELP BRIDGE THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN OLDER AND YOUNGER GENERATIONS.

THOSE STORIES AND MORE, NEXT, ON ARIZONA HORIZON.>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IS EXPECTED TO ACT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS ON AN EMERGENCY APPLICATION FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.THE CASE INVOLVES THE PRESIDENT'S FIRING OF THE HEAD OF AN INDEPENDENT GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG AGENCY THAT PROTECTS WHISTLEBLOWERS.

A FEDERAL JUDGE PUT A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ON THE MOVE.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS FIGHTING THAT ORDER.

THE CASE COULD HELP CLARIFY IF INDEPENDENT AGENCIES CREATED BY CONGRESS ARE PROTECTED FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, OR IF PRESIDENTS CAN GO AHEAD AND FIRE ANYONE SEEN AS A POTENTIAL CRITIC.A FEDERAL JUDGE TODAY HEARD ARGUMENTS OVER WHETHER OR NOT TO TEMPORARILY BLOCK ELON MUSK AND HIS GOVERNMENT EFFICIENTY GROUP FROM ACCESSING FEDERAL DATA SYSTEMS, INCLUDING ACCESSING, COPYING AND DISSEMINATING DATA FROM THE DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, EDUCATION AND HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.

THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED BY 14-ATTORNEYS GENERAL, ALL DEMOCRATS, INCLUDING ARIZONA'S KRIS MAYES.AND MUSK'S GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY GROUP IS ABOUT TO GET ACCESS TO THE IRS'S TAXPAYER DATA SYSTEM.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO CNN, WHICH REPORTS THAT MUSK EXPECTS THAT ONE HIS SOFTWARE ENGINEERS WILL BE GRANTED ACCESS TO THE HIGHLY- SENSITIVE DATA, QUOTE, "IMMENENTLY," AND WILL BE BASED AT THE IRS FOR AT LEAST 120-DAYS.

A SOURCE TOLD CNN THAT MUSK'S SOFTWARE ENGINEER IS EXPECTED TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT REQUIRING THAT HE MAINTAINS CONFIDENTIALITY WITH TAX INFORMATION.A DELTA AIRLINES FLIGHT FLIPPED OVER ON LANDING TODAY AT TORONTO'S PEARSON AIRPORT.AT LAST REPORT, ALL 80-PEOPLE ON BOARD, PASSENGERS AND CREW, ARE ACCOUNTED FOR, BUT AT LEAST 19- PEOPLE WERE INJURED, WITH AN AMBULANCE SERVICE REPORTING 2- CRITICALLY INJURED, INCLUDING A PEDIATRIC PATIENT.

THE FLIGHT WAS FROM MINNEAPOLIS.

STRONG WINDS OF UP TO 40-MILES-PER-HOUR IN THE TORONTO AREA MAY HAVE IMPACTED THE LANDING.

>>> 47-ARIZONA SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE HAVING MAJOR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT FROM THE ARIZONA AUDITOR GENERAL.

WHY ARE SO MANY DISTRICTS EXCEEDING BUDGETS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ADDRESS THIS OVER- SPENDING.

JOINING US NOW IS ARIZONA AUDITOR GENERAL LINDSEY PERRY.

AVERAGE R. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> WHAT IS AN AUDITOR GENERAL?

>> WE AUDIT STATE AGENCIES.

COMMUNE COLLEGES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

WE DO A SLEW OF AUDITS ON THE SPECTRUM AND FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION.

>> THIS REPORT IN GENERAL, THE ONE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DEALS ARE SCHOOLS, FINANCIAL RISKS, HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCH A THING?

>> GREAT QUESTION.

WE LOOK AT TEN MEASURES ACROSS SEVERAL CATEGORIES, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WILL LOOK AT DECLINING SCHOOL ENROLLMENT.

WE KNOW SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND THEY GARNER SO MUCH MONEY.

THIS MEANS LESS REVENUE INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE LOOK AT FINANCIAL POSITION AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT SPENDING MORE THAN IT'S TAKING IN IN REVENUE.

IF SO, WHY.

WE LOOK AT UNRECEIVED BALANCES.

IF THEY ARE OVER SPENDING THEIR MONEY THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM SOMEWHERE.

WE LOOK AT RECEIVERSHIP.

THAT'S A TOPIC IN THE NEWS.

WHEN THEY TAKE OVER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE OF MISMANAGEMENT THAT'S ANOTHER MEASURE WE LOOK AT.

YOU TAKE THE MEASURES AND YOU HAVE 47 OUT OF A FEW HUNDRED THAT ARE HIGH RISK OF EXCEEDING BUDGETS.

47 PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE NOT DOING WELL.

>> THAT'S A FAIR ASSESSMENT.

WHAT WE LOOK AT, FOR OUR FINANCIAL RISK ASSESSMENTS WE LOOK AT THE RISKIEST OF THE RISKIEST.

WE LOOK AT THOSE APPROACHING HIGH RISK.

IN CERTAIN AREA, WE SAW 47 OUT OF THE 207 WITH SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN ENROLLMENT.

WE FOUND ISSUES WITH THEIR FINANCIAL POSITION.

THEY ARE SPENDING MORE THAN BRINGING IN.

IT'S SOMETHING CONCERNING WE WANTED TO ELEVATE TO DISTRICT LEADERSHIP AND POLICYMAKERS SO THEY CAN PUT A PLAN IN PLACE TO MITIGATE THE RISKS.

>> SPEAKING OF PUTTING A PLAN IN PLACE YOU OFFER, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, FINANCIAL RISK ACTION PLAN TEMPLATES FOR THE DISTRICTS TO USE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

YOU CAN LOOK AT ALL OF THE AUDIT REPORTING AND ALSO THE TEMPLATE WE PUT TOGETHER HAS GUIDANCE AND ACTION STEPS A DISTRICT CAN TAKE.

I OFFER MY PEOPLE AS A RESOURCE.

THEY CAN CALL US AND OFFER DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF PRESENTATIONS FOR GOVERNING BOARDS TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE ANALYSIS LOOKS AT.

WHAT HIGH RISKS THEY MIGHT BE FACING.

WHERE HE WANT THEM TO COMBAT THE HIGH RISK.

>> ARE THEY PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT.

47 OUT OF 200 IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE.

>> WE HAVE BEEN WEAVING A RED FLAG AFTER COVID-19.

WE KNEW THERE WAS A LOT OF MONEY THAT CAME IN FROM THE FELL RAL GOVERNMENT TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS.

$4.6 BILLION.

THEY END SEPTEMBER OF 2024.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THE CLIFF.

AFTER THE MONEYS HAVE GONE AWAY, SOME DISTRICTS HAVE ACCUMULATED BALANCES AND EAT INTO THE FUND BALANCES.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

WE WANT THEM TO BE PREPARED AND PLAN GOING FORWARD FOR HOW TO TRIM BUDGETS.

HOW TO MAKE DUE WITH LESS MONEY THEY MIGHT HAVE.

THAT'S PUTTING ASIDE POLICY DECISIONS THAT POLICYMAKERS MAKE TO HELP WITH SOLUTIONS.

>> NOT DOING THINGS LIKE CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS FOR BASIC COSTS.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A RECIPE FOR DISASTER ONCE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S ONE OF THE TEN WE LOOK AT.

WE BUY NEW SCHOOL BUSES AND INSTEAD OF THAT, MOVE THEM TO OPERATIONAL AND PAY TEACHERS.

PAY ADMINISTRATION AND FOOD SERVICE COSTS.

YOU ARE MOVING THOSE FROM A NEED TO ANOTHER NEED.

AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO FUND SCHOOL BUSES.

YOU HAVE TO FUND THE BONDS AND INTERESTS ON YOUR BUILDINGS.

>> AGAIN, THE BASIC QUESTION HERE IS HOW DO YOU GET SO FAR BEHIND.

THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR BEING $28 MILLION BEHIND IN A DISTRICT WITH LESS THAN 5,000 KIDS.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN AND HOW CAN THE AUDITORS IN GENERAL KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING.

YOU SAID REFLAGS.

DO THEY NEED A DIFFERENT SHADE?

>> IT STARTS AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

DISTRICT OFFICIALS AND GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE IN CHARGE OF OVERSEEING THE DISTRICT, THEY NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT I SAY DISTRICT.

WE ARE ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

THIS IS A TOOL TO LET GOVERNING BOARDS AND OFFICIALS KNOW WHAT'S GO OBLIGATE ON IN THE DISTRICT.

23409 A YEAR AGO BUT GOING FORWARD.

THIS IS A PROACTIVE TOOL TO LOOK FOR INSTEAD OF AN AUDIT.

THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE TO PROVIDE A TOOL AND MORE INFORMATION TO MAKE DECISIONS GOING FORWARD.

>> WHAT IS THE MESSAGE FROM THIS REABORT BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS THE MESSAGE.

USE THIS AS A TOOL.

>> IT IS FOR THE PUBLIC AND GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE TO USE.

LOOK AT A HIGH LEVEL WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE STATE AND LEGISLATURE DISTRICT LEVEL TO BE ABLE TO FORMULATE POLICY, REALLY, IT'S PRIMARY GEARED TOWARDS GOVERNING BOARDS AND DISTRICT OFFICIALS AND PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHOSE MONEY GOES INTO THEIR SCHOOLS.

TO HAVE AN IDEA HOW THEY ARE DOING.

>> LINDSEY PERRY, GOOD INFORMATION, AUDITOR GENERAL.

>> THANK YOU.

>>> A PROCEDURE INVOLVING DEEP-BRAIN STIMULATION IS SHOWING PROMISE IN HELPING TREAT A VARIETY OF NEURO- MUSCULAR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING EPILEPSY, PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND TOURETTE'S SYNDROME.TO LEARN MORE, WE WELCOME DR. JONATHON PARKER FROM MAYO CLINIC ARIZONA.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

>> THIS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE BUT ADVANCES MADE IT MORE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

INVOLVING TWO THIN WIRES AND BATTERY IN THE CHEST.

IT'S RECHARGEABLE.

WORKING WITH THE TEAM, WE DO DIFFERENT PARAMETERS TO TREAT THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.

>> WITH PARKINSON, TRIMMERS, YOU ARE SEEING RESULTS HERE.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

IN THE STATE ALONE 20,000 PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

WHEN IT'S ADVANCE AND DOESN'T RESPOND TO MEDICATION.

DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION IS AN OPTION.

>> MAYBE EPILEPSY, OCD, CHRONIC PAIN.

>> YES.

>> IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, SO MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.

THE KEY IS THIS IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE BRAIN AND WE UNDERSTAND FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL CONDITIONS WHERE DO WE STIMULATE, THEY OPEN UP MANY CONDITIONS WE CAN TREAT WITH IT.

>> WE HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PROCESS HOW IT WORKS WITH THE SURGERY AND THAT KIND OF BUSINESS.

WALK US THROUGH HERE.

WHAT ARE WE SEEING HERE.

>> SEE AN ANIMATION OF THE THIN WIRE OR LEAD INTO THE BRAIN.

THAT CONNECTION UNDER THE SKIN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE NECK AND THE BATTERY IN THE CHEST.

THIS IS A SPECIFIC VERSION TO TREAT EPILEPSY.

WE STIMULATE THE SURFACE OF THE BRAIN.

SOMETIMES A DEEPER LOCATION.

THAT'S WHAT THE ANIMATION IS SHOWING YOU THERE.

>> INTERESTING.

THE ELECTRODES ARE PLACED THERE.

>> THIS IS A GUIDANCE SYSTEM WE HAVE IN THE OPERATING ROOM.

IT'S LIKE A GPS SYSTEM TO PUT IT IN THE RIGHT REGION.

WE HAVE THE GPS AND BRAIN RECORDING.

>> THE DEVICE IS IMPLANTED IN THE CHEST.

ALL OF THIS IS STAY WITH 50 THINGS.

THEY ARE VERY WELL SECURED.

THERE ARE TWO LITTLE BRACKETS IF YOU WILL.

ALL OF THE LEADS IN PLACE.

THE BATTERY IS IN THE CHEST.

THE RISK OF THESE GETTING PULLED OUT IS LOW.

>> THE PROCEDURE ITSELF, HOW LONG IS THE SURGERY.

>> IT'S ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS.

IN GENERAL, AT THE SAME TIME.

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO STAGE IT OR TWO SEPARATE FOR PATIENTS NEEDS.

>> DO YOU TURN IT ON WHILE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCES THIS?

>> WE USUALLY WAIT A WEEK TO MONTH TO TURN IT ON.

WE LET THEM HEAL, BRING THEM BACK AND TURN ON THE DEVICE AND DO ADJUSTMENTS.

INSTANTLY, FOR EPILEPSY IT CAN TAKE LONGER.

WE WAIT FOR A FEW MONTHS.

>> A WAY TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT TOO MUCH.

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND OUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ADVANCED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WE KNOW IT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT.

WE DIAL IN THE STIMULATION TO JUST THE RIGHT SETTING.

CAN THE INDIVIDUAL PATIENT CONTROL THAT.

>> YOU KNOW, WE DO GIVE OUR PATIENTS SORT OF A VOLUME FOR THE THERAPY.

WE HELP EDUCATE THEM.

>> SO, THEY DON'T CONTROL CONDITIONS LIKE PARKINSON DISEASE.

IN EPILEPSY, A THIRD OF THE 80,000 FOLKS IN THE STATE TO HAVE THAT CONDITION THEY COULD BE A CANDIDATE FOR TREATMENT LIKE STIMULATION.

MEDICATION IS STILL THE FIRST OPTION?

>> YES, WE ONLY USE THIS WHEN MEDICATION STOPS WORKING.

>> AS FAR AS THE ADVANCEMENTS, WHAT'S NEXT?

>> THE MOST INTERESTING.

THE NEWEST VERSION HAS DIRECTIONAL THERAPY.

IT'S LIKE A FLASHLIGHT.

WE POINT THE FLASHLIGHT RIGHT TO THE LOCATION OF THE BRAIN WHERE THE THERAPY NEEDS TO GO.

THAT'S SOMETHING HERE AND NOW AND BETTER AS TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES.

>> ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS TO THIS?

>> WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

WE HAVE ELECTRODES IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

WHEN WE TURN IT ON WE COULD HAVE SIDE EFFECTS.

WE WILL SEE IF THEY CHANGE IT WE GET THE THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE.

>> THE RIGHT PATIENTS, HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE RIGHT.

>> WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF THEM HAVING.

HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN ON MEDICATIONS?

WHEN DID THEY STOP WORKING.

WE LOOK AT THE FACTORS.

>> DOES THIS WEAKEN OVERTIME?

>> IT'S THE THING WE DID SEE THAT.

WHAT WE LEARNED OVERTIME IS TYPICALLY FLASHLIGHT AND THE VOLUME OFF OF THE THERAPY.

>> THE BATTERY LIFE, EVERYTHING ELSE BATTERY LIFE IS IMPROVING OVERTIME.

>> NOW YOU CAN RECHARGE IT YOU CAN PUT AWARELESS DEVICE ON THE CHEST.

>> REALLY QUICKLY, YOU ARE AN ACTIVE PERSON.

>> YEAH, REALLY GOOD QUESTION SWIMMERS AND ALL OF THE SORTS OF THINGS.

WEAR A HELMET IF YOU DO AN ACTIVITY.

>> DR.PARKER DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

>>> TONIGHT, AS PART OF OUR MONTHLY AARP SPONSORED SEGMENT THAT HIGHLIGHTS ISSUES IMPORTANT TO OLDER ADULTS IN ARIZONA, WE LOOK AT A NEW ASU INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO REDUCE AGEISM BY CONNECTING OLDER AND YOUNGER GENERATIONS.

IT'S CALLED "THE FRIENDSHIP BENCH.

"AND HERE TO TELL US MORE IS AARON GUEST.

HE'S AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AT ASU'S EDSON COLLEGE OF NURSING AND HEALTH INNOVATION.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> WHAT'S THE FRIENDSHIP BENCH.

>> IT'S A PROGRAM FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS WE HAVE.

WE HAVE CHALLENGES BUILDING CONNECTIONS.

WE KNOW OUR STUDENTS ARE REPORTING UP TO TWO-THIRDS.

HOW DO WE BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER AND MEET PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM US.

SOME COLLEGE STUDENTS NEVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE.

AS A GERONTOLOGIST, WE WERE THERE TO TALK WITH THE FRIENDSHIP BENCH PROGRAM AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE COULD DO.

THEY HAVE OLDER RESIDENTS.

WE KNOW THEY NEED CONNECTIONS AND BUILD THEM TOGETHER.

>> YEAH, SO BASICALLY, THE SENIORS DEPLOYED THE BENCHES IN CERTAIN SPOTS?

>> WHAT WE DO IS TRAINING.

WE HAVE LEARNED A BIT MORE.

WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE THE MATERIAL TO HAVE PEOPLE JUST DROP BY AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

>> I'M ALL EARS.

>> THE ALL EARS FRIENDSHIP BENCH CAMPAIGN.

>> FOLKS REALLY GO FOR THIS.

>> I SAY WE HAVE ABOUT 15 VOLUNTEERS AND I'D LIKE TO GO OUT RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN IMAGE IT ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS WITH DOZENS OF PEOPLE TOGETHER.

WE YOU CAN TALKING TO STUDENTS THAT FEEL LIKE TALKING.

THE WAY WE SEE IT IT'S A ONE-ON-ONE OPPORTUNITY.

NOT EVERY STUDENT WILL ACCESS TO RESOURCES ON THEIR OWN.

SO, IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STUDENTS TO BUILD THE INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTION AND LEARN ABOUT OLDER INDIVIDUALS.

THE NEXT STEPS TO GO FORWARD.

IF SOMEONE GRANDMOTHERLY OR GRANDFATHERLY SAID HEY, GO TO THE CENTER, YOU SHOULD DO IT.

>> WHAT DO THEY TALK ABOUT.

>> IT'S AMAZING.

I FIRST WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD TALK ABOUT.

THEY TALK ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.

WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS COMING BY THAT CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS ARE OUT TALK ABOUT HOW A RELATIONSHIP IS GOING AND MISSING THEIR DOG AND CAREER MAJOR.

WHAT THEY SHOULD BUY SOMEONE FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY OR VALENTINE'S DAY.

>> TALK ABOUT AGEISM AND GET FIRSTHAND FATHERLY ADVICE.

JUST GETTING RID OF THE LONELINESS ON BOTH SIDES.

>> IT'S A BIG FACTOR.

LONELINESS IS AN EARLY PREDICT TOR.

SINCE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC STUDENTS REPORTED HIGHER RATES OF LONELINESS.

OLDER ADULTS EXPERIENCE LONELINESS AND ISOLATION.

THIS PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO GET TOGETHER.

WHETHER IT'S SOMEONE SITTING DOWN FOR A 30 MINUTE CONVERSATION, IN FACT, I HEARD A VOLUNTEER GOT A CARNATION OR SOMEONE SAYING HEY, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'D LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE.

>> YOU MOVE PEOPLE THROUGH DIFFERENT SPOTS.

>> WE DO.

WE ARE EXPANDING TO THE DOWNTOWN CAMPUS THIS MONTH AND WEST VALLEY AND POLYTECH.

WOW, IT'S GROWING A LOT OF INTEREST.

>> YOU MENTIONED ZIMBABWE.

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

>> THEY NOTICED IT WAS A CHALLENGE.

THEY DEVELOPED A GRANDMOTHERLY PROGRAM.

THEY TRAIN GRANDMOTHERS TO HELP NEW MOTHERS LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN.

LIKE BEING AT THE FIFA WORLD CUP.

MY FATHER JUST TOLD ME HE WAS IN A FARMER STORE AND THEY HAD A FRIENDSHIP BENCH.

WE HAVE TAKEN THIS PROVEN MODEL AND BRINGING IT TO THE COLLEGE CAMPUS AND ONE OF THE FIRST GROUPS TO TRY IT.

WE HAVE OUTEXPANDED TO ALUMNI PROGRAMS AS WELL.

>> YOU ARE THE LEADER.

>> WE ARE VERY EXCITED.

IT'S ONLY BEEN GOING ON FOR A SEMESTER AND WE'D LIKE TO COPY IT.

>> BEST PRACTICE.

>> YES, THAT'S WONDER.

>> AARON GUEST COLLEGE OF NURSING AND HEALTH INNOVATION.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

>>> THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

I'M TED SIMONS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

HAVE A GREAT
