[Jennifer Leos]

Areyou a learner at A1 English level (elementary)? This section offers listening practice to help you understand familiar words and basic phrases when people speak slowly and clearly. Situations include meeting people, shopping and conversations at work.

Getting the right information to the people who need it is a constant struggle, and grows more complicated with the size of an organization and the adoption of new technologies. UI Health Care is an enormous and complex entity, and technology has never moved faster.

To find out what we needed to fix, the Provider/Faculty Satisfaction & Engagement Committee conducted a communication audit. In December 2016 we sent a survey to about 2,500 providers, and more than 500 of you answered. In-person interviews with 50 providers continued through January.

Committee members will continue to share these findings with all departments, and hold listening sessions with clinical and basic science departments to discuss key issues. They also pledge to conduct and share regular communication audits to ensure forward progress.

The UI Health Care Marketing and Communications Department (MarCom) is the primary cultivator of institution-wide communication, and will regularly meet with communicators across the enterprise to share communication strategies and tactics.

The Military Science Program offers classes open to all Santa Clara students as well as Stanford University, San Jose State University, and University of California, Santa Cruz, students. The Military Science Program is designed to develop management skills and leadership abilities for successful careers in both the corporate world and the military. Students who complete the ROTC program are eligible for appointment and commissioning as officers in the United States Army.

The military science core curriculum consists of six lower-division classes in the ROTC Basic Course and seven upper-division courses in the ROTC Advanced Course. Cadets may take a summer course (MILS 24) in lieu of the six lower-division courses. The professional military education of ROTC cadets consists of two components: a baccalaureate degree from Santa Clara University (or one of the cross-enrolled universities) and at least one undergraduate course from each of five designated fields of study. Prior to commissioning, cadets must take at least one course in military history.

For those planning on commissioning into the U.S. Army, the curriculum is divided into ROTC Basic Course requirements and ROTC Advanced Course requirements. To proceed to the ROTC Advanced Course classes, students must complete either the six required ROTC Basic Course classes or attend a summer class at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The director of the Military Science Program must approve exceptions to this progression.

The ROTC Basic Course, Fundamentals of Leadership and Management, includes the first-year and second-year courses (MILS 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, and 23) designed for beginning students who want to qualify for entry into the ROTC Advanced course and for those students who may want to try military science without obligations. A student can also qualify for entry in the ROTC Advanced Course by completing the summer training camp (MILS 24).

Students must complete all courses numbered greater than MILS 130, to include MILS 134, a six-week Cadet Leader Course during the summer, in sequence, unless otherwise approved by the professor of military science. The ROTC Advanced Course qualifies students for commissions as officers in the U.S. Army. Students who do not desire to compete for a commission as an officer in the Army may take these courses for academic credit with approval by the professor of military science.
