Basically, the Plan of Medical Coverage provides for a lifetime maximum of $15,000 for any one accidental bodily injury or illness and $5,000 combined lifetime maximum for mental illness and substance abuse treatment. The Plan is considered secondary or excess insurance, meaning, if the student is covered by other valid and collectible insurance, all benefits paid by such insurance will be determined before benefits are paid by the Eastern Illinois University Plan. Students with equal or better coverage may apply for cancellation of their student medical coverage by completing a Waiver Form and submitting it to the Student Health Insurance Office during the first ten class days Fall/Spring Terms or during the first five class days of Summer Term. Please note that students participating in the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Programs and Varsity Cheer Team members are ineligible for the medical coverage cancellation. In addition to completing the Waiver Form, students must present evidence of personal health insurance coverage. The waiver from the Student Health Plan will continue in effect until such time as the student requests reinstatement or re-enrollment to the Plan or does not respond to a periodic request for verification that he/she continues to be covered by another health insurance plan. All students enrolled for a minimum of six on-campus hours are eligible for re-enrollment in the EIU Student Health Plan by completing an application and making payment of the insurance fee within the first ten class days of either the Fall or Spring Term, and the first five class days of Summer Term. The insurance coverage will become effective the day application and payment are received. Please note that summer insurance coverage is available to all students who were insured during the prior spring term; otherwise, the student must be enrolled a minimum of six on-campus hours to be eligible for summer insurance coverage. For reinstatement of the EIU Student Health Plan to become effective anytime during the semester, students must show proof of involuntary cancellation by their insurance plan within 30 days of the cancellation. For additional information, please contact the Student Insurance Office located in the Financial Aid Office or call 581-5290. Textbook Rental ServicesBasic textbooks for courses are rented to students through the Textbook Rental Service. The rental charge is included in the student fees. Students not returning textbooks by announced deadlines at semester or term ends are subject to fines of up to $10.00 per book. Lost textbooks must be paid for at full replacement cost. Students may also be required to pay for textbooks in which they have written or highlighted, which have been subjected to unusual wear, or which have been water damaged. The total charge for both lost and damaged textbooks will include late fines of up to $10.00 per book. During announced sales periods, students may purchase textbooks for courses in which they are enrolled, subject to the availability of replacements. ![eiu resume help IU Trident Logo](https://assets.iu.edu/brand/legacy/trident-large.png) - Cover Letters

Some examples include: teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. Transferable SkillsTransferable Skills are common soft skills found in nearly every job posting. Employers have expressed hard skills can be taught, but they want candidates to learn soft skills before applying; we have found them to be consistent across the board as far as skills they seek. These skills deserve space on your resume. Curriculum Vitae (CV) Standard – For teaching/research positionsThe Curriculum Vitae (CV) Standard is a comprehensive document of your background and academic credentials. The CV is typically used when applying for positions in academia, the sciences, graduate or professional school and various areas of research. The CV is different from the resume in that readers will take extensive time to read the document. Tailor Your Resume for an ApplicationA tailored resume is a general resume that has been edited (tailored) to a specific industry or job/internship posting. Whenever you apply for a position, the resume you submit should be tailored to that role and organization by using keywords and phrases you noticed in the position posting.

Whenever you apply for a new position, you will want to tailor your resume.

Accomplishment Statement Examples (Student Employment & Campus Involvement)Accomplishment Statement Examples for Student Employment & Campus Involvement will help you highlight your university involvement on your resume.

Your resume is a document that outlines your experiences—professional, academic, extracurricular —and the skills you have acquired as a result. Think of your resume as an advertisement for yourself. A strong resume should demonstrate your excellent written communication skills and make the reader want to interview you. What if I don't have a lot of experience yet?A resume is always a work in progress, and students who start early benefit from improving and refining the document over time. It is good to keep your resume updated regularly to reflect new experiences, ensuring that an up-to-date resume is available whenever necessary. You never know when and where your resume will be needed. Not necessarily. There is no right and wrong when it comes to resume content and format. Each resume is as unique as the individual it represents. It is up to you to select the appropriate content that best highlights your skills for the employment you hope to acquire, and then effectively communicate your qualifications in a format that is clear and easy to read. Tips for Writing Your Resume- Proofread carefully to ensure correct spelling and grammar.
- Keep verb tenses consistent throughout. Use present tense for current activities and employment.
- Use past tense for activities and employment not presently held.
- Avoid the use of first and third person pronouns, such as “I,” “he,” or “she.”
- Phrases, rather than complete sentences, are generally most effective.
- Use a variety of action verbs to bring your skills and experiences to life.
- Avoid using each verb or adjective more than once.
- Spell out all acronyms the first time they are used, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Thereafter, in the same document you may use the acronym alone.
- Industry-specific jargon should be used sparingly or in a context that the average person could understand. The person reading your resume may not be an expert in your field (they might be an HR manager, for example).
- Use professional language and tone
- If bringing copies of your resume to a career fair, networking event, or interview, be sure they are of high quality.
- While it is not necessary to purchase special paper, if you choose to do so, use neutral colors such as white or cream.
- If you are including a cover letter, it should be printed on the same type of paper as your resume.
- Have your resume reviewed multiple times. This gives you varied insights and multiple perspectives. The Career Center provides opportunities to have your resume reviewed.
- Faculty, academic advisors, family, and friends can also provide good insight.
Formatting Your Resume- Take advantage of white space. Use it as a mechanism to appropriately convey emphasis and organization to your information and skills.
- Be consistent with alignment and appropriately use left, center, and right alignment.
- Make use of bold, underline, and italics to emphasize different aspects of your resume, such as headings and titles.
- Special fonts, layouts, and images or graphics are often problematic for other people's computers. They may not render properly, might be rejected by Applicant Tracking System scanners, and may not be read correctly by accessibility software like screen readers. You don't know what's on the receiving end, so keep it simple!
- Don't include a headshot photo unless specifically requested in the job ad or expected by the industry.
- Pre-made templates are often the culprit for introducing unusual colors, fonts, graphics, and layouts. We usually recommend avoiding the templates that come with word processing or design software for this reason.
- The length of your resume depends on your degree level, academic major, and number of relevant experiences you have conducted.
- Rather than being creative in the design and format of your resume, demonstrate your creativity in the content you choose and the way you describe it.
Not sure if you need a resume or a CV? Check out our Resume vs. CV guide . Customizing Your Resume: Consider Your Audience and Reader- Investigate industry standards and each potential employer. Consider preferences for length, format, and content of your resume.
- Be sure to follow special instructions for supplemental application materials. Provide all documents requested, and determine if appropriate to send additional, e.g. reference list.
- If possible, save all of your documents in one PDF and attach them to your application.
- A potential employer typically spends around 30 seconds initially reviewing a resume. Therefore, it is important to carefully select experiences that emphasize the skills most relevant to your desired position. As you make your choices, remember to stress quality over quantity.
- Review the job description and consider the responsibilities for each position you apply to. Consider the perspective of the potential employer, and what the organization would desire in the ideal candidate for the position. Make changes to your resume accordingly.
- Reflect upon your specific experiences that demonstrate the skills and credentials listed in the position announcement.
- Think about using words from the job posting, highlighting different relevant coursework, or using example projects or outcomes that more closely match that specific position's requirements or job duties. The changes you make may be small, but the impact could be huge!

Graffitti on the side of a brick building](https://in.ewu.edu/careercenter/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/12/img_create.jpg) A resume is a marketing tool to get you an interview for a particular opportunity. It’s not a record of everything you’ve ever done, and the best ones are never generic. Your resume needs to be focused, concise and tailored to each opportunity you’re applying to because people tend to skim a resume in 30 seconds or less. To help you focus on what’s most relevant to the position, we recommend making a professional inventory before creating your resume. While it’s fine to use examples to inspire you, it’s best to create your own resume rather than use a template (looking fancy and being effective aren’t the same thing). Here are some page set-up guidelines: Number of Pages One page is typical for limited relevant experience and new professionals. Two pages are acceptable for extensive relevant experience, experienced professionals, and/or people with graduate degrees. Margins should be: - the same on every side
- half inch minimum
- one inch maximum
Start with a half inch margin to maximize space. You can always make it wider later if needed. Resumes should be single-spaced, with even line spacing between main sections and even spacing between entries within sections. See the resources page for examples. Justification Left justification is best. We read left to right, and we skim the same way. Centering is usually only a good option for letterhead and is never good for entries or blocks of text. Good font choices The best fonts for resumes are clean, readable, and business-like. Serif fonts are more common in hard copy or for a “classic” look; Sans-serifs are easier to read on-screen and look more “modern.” Sans-Serif: Font choices to avoid Arial ( overused ) Brush Script ( script fonts are not good for this ) Century Gothic ( also overused ) Comic Sans ( resumes aren’t for toddlers ) Courier ( the typewriter is dead ) Hobo ( decorative ) Impact ( too bold for body text ) Papyrus ( it’s not an ancient Egyptian scroll ) Stencil ( great on ammo crates and nowhere else ) Times New Roman ( overused everywhere for everything ) The next section talks about font sizing. Because employers more frequently skim resumes than read them, you should use headings, subheadings, and a few simple text alterations (like bold, italic, and size) to make that easy for them. - Body text (your entries): 10 pt minimum, 12 pt maximum.
- Entry Headings: same size as body, but altered to stand out
- Main Headings: 2 pts bigger than your body text
- Your name: 4-8 pts bigger than your body text
Here’s an example: Arya Stark [name] 123 4th St, Cheney, WA 99004 | 509.555.1212 | [email protected] Experience [main heading] Research Assistant | Fall 2013 [entry heading line 1] Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA [entry heading line 2] + Conducted analytical experience on gene expression [body text] + Performed purification of protein [body text] + Generated statistical summaries and reports of collected data [body text] Black is really your color. Using any other color is usually a bad idea for anyone whose job isn’t actually about the use of color. Bright colors are distracting and gray or soft pastels can be difficult to read. Black is classic. It behaves itself. It won’t get you in trouble. Don’t include pictures or graphics. Bluntly, if you’re not applying to be an actor, dancer, or model, your future employer doesn’t need your headshot. Submitting a photo with your resume puts a potential employer at risk for violating Equal Opportunity legislation. Many employers won’t interview those who submit a personal photo . You also don’t put graphics or clip art on your resume. Required SectionsAt a minimum, your resume must have these three sections. It might have more, but those sections are optional according to the needs of your audience and the content you want to deliver. The letterhead contains your contact information at the top of the page. It should include: - Your phone number
- Your professional email address (see below)
- Your mailing address (optional)
Stuart Griffin 111 Adams Ct., Spokane, WA 99201 | 509.555.1212 | [email protected] Email Addresses A professional email address is one that is as close to your name as possible with as few numbers as possible (i.e., [email protected], or [email protected]). Anything that doesn’t meet that criteria (e.g., [email protected], [email protected], etc.) is an unprofessional email address and should not be used. Optional mailing address Your prospective employer needs to know how to contact you, but in the age of the internet, they’re not likely to do that through the mail. If you’re applying to a job in another city, however, it’s often a good idea to list your city and state so they can structure interviews appropriately. You can put your Education either before or after Experience. Before is more common for current students and new professionals. After is more common for experienced professionals. Education entries must contain four elements: - The official name of your degree (e.g., Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Bachelor of Arts in Theater, etc.)
- The month and year you graduated or will graduate
- The name of the institution
- The city and state where you attended
Start with your most recent degree, either completed or in progress, and work backward in time. EDUCATION Master of Arts: Rhetoric and Technical Communication | June 2018 (Expected) Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA Bachelor of Arts: English Literature | June 2016 Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA It’s really that easy. Other items you can put in your Education section: - Minors, if you have them.
- Certificates, if you have them.
- GPA (only if it’s 3.0 or higher), or your honors designation if you graduated with honors – but usually not both
- Relevant special coursework
- Competitive academic awards, if relevant
Don’t include the following: - High School (unless you’re Running Start – then it’s okay)
- Associate Degrees (under most circumstances, but see below)
- Dean’s List if your GPA is over 3.5 (it’s assumed)
- Irrelevant coursework, or classes common to your degree
- Irrelevant awards
When to list an AA: - When it’s the highest degree you’ve earned, and you’re applying to a job that lists an AA as a minimum requirement.
- When you have an AAS or special certificate in a field of study that’s relevant to your career (Fine Arts, Electrical Engineering, etc.)
- When applying for a job at a community college. They like people who are familiar with the environment.
A well formatted and relevant experience section is crucial to getting noticed and getting an interview. Your experience section should contain the experiences you’ve had that best demonstrate your qualifications for the opportunities you want. Experiences don’t necessarily have to be paid experiences as long as they gave you knowledge, skills, and abilities that will be useful to your prospective employer. Learn more about experiences you might include and ideas for getting experience here: Formatting the entry heading Your experience entries should follow the same layout and arrangement as your entries in your education section. They should be listed in reverse chronological order and contain: - position title
- dates (month and year)
- organization name
- location (city and state)
Do not include additional details such as street addresses, phone numbers, supervisor names, or wages. Describing Activities & Demonstrating Relevance Next, describe your activities in that experience that are relevant to your audience. - Use bullets, not paragraphs – bullets are easier to skim.
- 3 – 5 bullets per entry is ideal. One is not enough. Eight is too many.
- Bullets are often one line long, but particularly important ones might be two lines.
- Use phrases, not complete sentences.
- Begin each bullet with strong action verbs in past tense, even for experiences you’re currently engaged in.
- Each bullet point should demonstrate a different skill used, relevant to what you are applying for.
- Don’t include items that do not bring value to your future position.
The basic bullet formula is: Action Verb + What You Did + How You Did It + Quantities + Frequencies + [Results if applicable] If you follow this formula, your bullets will have consistent phrasing and won’t be flat, shallow, and generic. Using quantities and frequencies proves your level of competence at that skill. Communications Intern | January 2019 – March 2019 Spokane AIDS Network, Spokane, WA - Wrote weekly press releases resulting in 24 publications in three local news papers
- Developed script for Sub for Santa segment on Good Morning Spokane news program
- Assisted in coordination of donor recognition event, hosting more than 150 guests and 15 high profile donors
- Edited “Spokane AIDS Walk” campaign pamphlets and website, ensuring seamless transition during new media campaign
- Provided creative ideas for 15 second commercial, supporting Communications Director in development of workable concepts and script
Optional SectionsIntroduction sections are optional but common. If you have one we recommend having a Summary (also called a Profile). Guidelines include: - It should be one to four short sentences or lines
- It can be in paragraph style with sentences or bullet style with phrases
- It should focus on the needs of the employer rather than the needs of the candidate.
- It should act as an abstract for the reader, giving them top level information at a glance, so it’s best to write it last.
Here’s an example in paragraph format: Health Services Administration graduate with experience in rural health care. Successfully established multiple clinics with nonprofit health care groups, providing service for thousands of rural patients from infants to the elderly. Bilingual in Spanish and English. Here’s an example in bullet format: - Skilled fundraiser with three years of experience.
- Plan and execute events for nonprofit organizations.
- Strong interpersonal skills with training in conflict mediation.
- Proficient in current web design technology.
We don’t recommend objectives because they’re outdated and usually aren’t very effective, as they are all about what the candidate wants instead of what the employer wants. Valuable experience isn’t always attached to a job, internship, or volunteer opportunity. Depending on the industry, valuable experience can also be demonstrated through projects, public presentations, and publications. Entries in a projects section should be formatted just like your experiences and given activity details in the same way. PROJECTS Event Management and Student Check-in System | Sep 2016 – May 2017 Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA + Designed system to track student registration and attendance for weekly events, and schedule events and facility resources + Implemented using CodeIgniter, PHP framework, MySQL, JQuery, and CSS3 Publications and Presentations Listing important publications or presentations works just like listing them on a Works Cited/References/Bibliography page in a paper. Pick an appropriate style format, (like MLA, APA, or Chicago), and use it consistently. Here’s a presentation example: Weldon, T., Field, N. (2014, April). Cambodian Genocide and Intergenerational Attribution of Blame. Poster presented at the annual Western Psychological Association Conference, Portland, OR. Here’s a publication example: “Gadamer, Dewey, and the Importance of Play in Philosophical Inquiry.” Reason Papers, Vol. 38 (1) [Spring 2016] 8-20 Skill lists should be brief and contain only the skills most relevant to the opportunity you want. Skills are always specific, named, trained things: - relevant tools you know how to use, whether hardware or software
- languages you can speak (or code in!)
- methods and strategies to accomplish goals that people without your education or experience aren’t likely to have.
Skills are not personal qualities that make you a wonderful human being. Also, they are not the ability to be a functional adult at a basic level. (Those are very good things, but they don’t go here). Things you should not list as skills: - Basic computer skills ( e.g., email, basic word processing, being able to switch between operating systems )
- Social media ( unless you’ve managed it as a job )
- Languages you can’t have an actual business conversation in
- Time management
- Quick learner
- Team player ( demonstrate this in an activity bullet instead )
- Good communicator ( same here )
- Passionate (also avoid dynamic, engaged, thought leader, out-of-the-box thinker, etc. )
And, of course, anything that isn’t true or is exaggerated. If you have won competitive awards that are relevant to your future career, you might list them in a section on their own. Usually it would be the last section. Simply name the title of the award, the organization who awarded it to you, and the date it was awarded. Related Resources- Resume Explainer (PDF)

Resumes & Cover LettersTo schedule an appointment and have your resume and cover letter reviewed login to Handshake and select “Appointments” under the Career Center tab from the homepage. Drop-In Hours are available Monday-Friday from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM while Fall & Spring classes are in session at the main office located at 701 East 5th Street. Resume StylesChronological resumes present your job-related experiences in reverse chronological date order (most recent listed first and then going backwards in time). Consider using this style if you have an established career direction and you are continuing on the same or similar career path. Functional resumes group your skills and experiences together based on job-related functional areas. Place your experience statements together beneath job-related functional areas. A chronological listing of employment history should also be included. Consider using this style if you are changing career direction or if you have skill sets from past experiences that may not be directly related. Combination resumes bring relevant work experience/ history to the forefront by breaking the experience/work history in to two sections: “Related” and “Other/Additional.” The combination resume generally starts with a functional resume format that allows the reader to see your skills, accomplishments, and qualifications. It first lets the reader see the experience you have that is related to the job opening, then lets the potential employer look at your work history. This style allows the reader to first match your qualifications against the needs of the job opening, and then gives the reader a sense of where the accomplishments took place. Resumes and a Curriculum Vita are different styles of document with differing information. For more information click here . Cover LetterWhile the resume serves as an “advertisement” and overview of your background, the cover letter can heighten the employer’s incentive to learn more about you and connect your skills to the opportunity. Tailor your letter to the requirements of the position and the employer’s needs.

Kennedy-King helped Favour secure an internship at SDI Presence, where she’s worked for over a year updating software for the company’s laptops and computers. Her most recent venture is learning app development through the Everyone Can Code program. Everyone Can Code is a partnership City Colleges has with Apple that provides students with a paid tech internship and experiential learning opportunities. Students at both Truman and Kennedy-King Colleges are participating in the program this summer. Favour and her classmates are learning IOS development and how to think critically, which helps them in school, apprenticeships, jobs, and life. This summer, participants looked for a problem in their community and created an app that helps solve the problem. Favour’s group created an app that teaches kindergarteners to read, write, and pronounce letters. “Everyone Can Code is a great program to be a part of,” Favour said. “It’s great to have Apple on your resume. It pays, it gives you experience working with IOS, and it teaches skills I can use outside of Kennedy-King and in my future career.” Everyone Can Code is part of the Tech Launchpad at Kennedy-King College. Kennedy-King College’s Tech Launchpad provides students access to high-quality academic and training in tech. This ensures students are ready to navigate the tech ecosystem and succeed at a tech career at a variety of companies. The opportunity is made possible through One Summer Chicago initiative, a six-week summer youth employment program.

For most people, resume writing is a daunting task. Job hunters wonder about how to improve their resume. Mary, a director at a large company, called for help with resume writing because she was losing her job. She said, “I’m sure my resume doesn’t represent me very well. I want it to be impressive, but I’m stumbling on how to create it. I hear people say they send out dozens of resumes with no response, which makes me very anxious. How must I differentiate myself to get an employer’s attention?” For most people, resume writing is a daunting task. The stakes are high. Yet, you may be unaware of the current resume trends you need to consider. Here are the ten resume trends to understand to help you showcase your uniqueness and capabilities and stand out to an employer. Self-Marketing. Self-analysis is essential to do before you start writing. Think of your resume as an advertisement trying to get an employer to buy the product, and that product is you. Outline what you are best at doing. Note your top strengths. What are relevant credentials and experience to emphasize? Identify your best accomplishments. RESULTS. Employers hire you based on your previous achievements and the belief that you can repeat those if they hire you. Each work description must focus on sharing measurable results and outcomes. Be specific. Employers value concrete accomplishments. Emphasize if you made the company money, saved money, started something, made an innovation, or created a new tool, process, system, or program. Incorporate numbers and percentages into your bullet descriptions. Have your most impressive accomplishments and best experience near the top of the description. Prioritize. Target what is most important to employers. Determine the key elements they seek and tailor your resume to their needs. To identify the key points to highlight, review several relevant job openings. Focus on the top three to five qualifications and duties they advertise for. Incorporate that information into your resume to demonstrate that you have what a potential employer values. Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024. Highlight. Showcase your success. Under your work history, you should use bullet points to create each statement. The most effective way to develop these is to use the formula: Actions = Results, noting what you did and its impact. For example, “Developed and executed a new email fundraising campaign, and the results increased donations by 21%.” Or state the dollar amount if that is impressive. Keywords. Research the job description, paying close attention to the required skills and qualifications, and align your relevant skills accordingly. Identify the more critical tasks, such as project management or process improvement, and sprinkle these sparingly throughout the resume, especially in the work descriptions and in the summary section. Include any relevant industry terms, too. Don’t try to “keyword stuff” throughout the resume, as the ATS may reject your resume, and a recruiter may disregard it, viewing it as being too generic or lacking. Action verbs. Under your work descriptions, start each sentence with an action verb. Use words highlighting the skill or accomplishments, such as Led, Drove, Analyzed, Designed, Originated, Implemented, Established, etc. Avoid repetition, and don’t use that same action verb to start a statement within a particular work description. Write the sentence in the past tense, even for your current position. ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems). ATS is a human resources software that works as an online database or a digital filing cabinet when you submit a job application. It’s not very sophisticated and requires search engine optimization. Avoid any creative resume style. Simple formatting is the key to getting through the system’s filters. Eliminate columns, tables, text boxes, headers, footers, graphics, color ink, or PDFs (unless specifically requested). Qualifications. Employers hire someone with the skillset necessary to succeed in that advertised job. They want a person who is not underqualified or overqualified. Carefully evaluate the role before you hit “apply.” Assess your skills, education, and experience to ensure the job closely fits your background. Refrain from applying for a job if you don’t have 80% of the qualifications required. Soft skills. These traits help show how you fit into the job role and match the company’s culture. Include appropriate ones to supplement your hard skills. The top soft skills employers value beyond excellent oral and written communication are collaboration, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, leadership, adaptability, problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. Competencies. Employers find no value when you list a lot of competencies, such as project management, team leadership, results-driven, etc., in one section since you aren’t demonstrating exactly where you used these abilities. Avoid creating this section. Instead, inserting these competencies into the work history and summary of qualifications is much more effective. That way, you illustrate how you have that skill and apply it on the job. ![eiu resume help Robin Ryan](https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/61932de9d4eb56a1af707d2e/400x0.jpg?cropX1=70&cropX2=692&cropY1=60&cropY2=682) - Editorial Standards

Citing anonymous sources, the New York Times reported that bulletproof glass will be installed in front of Trump at rallies. The agency also reportedly will pull agents from President Joe Biden's detail to provide help for Trump's security. The New York Times reported that the ballistic glass has been used at past events for Secret Service protectees , but the material is heavy and logistically difficult to move. RELATED STORY | New police video shows the moment officers realized there was a shooter at Trump rally Prior to Trump's rally in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, he was seen standing behind a glass wall. It was later revealed by then-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson to the House Jan. 6 Committee that Trump had asked for weapon-detecting magnetometers to be removed from outside of the rally. The rally preceded the counting of Electoral College votes from the 2020 election, which was interrupted by the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Trump has not held any outdoor rallies since a gunman wounded him at a Pennsylvania event on July 13. Trump tended to have outdoor rallies during his campaign prior to the shooting. RELATED STORY | Attempted Trump assassin neutralized 15 seconds after first shot, official says Trump, who was wounded in his right ear in the attack, was addressing supporters when a gunman fired several rounds at him from a nearby rooftop. The incident has placed intense scrutiny on the agency as questions have emerged on how a gunman was able to access the rooftop so close to the rally and get a direct shot at the former president before getting fatally wounded by Secret Service agents. Kimberly Cheatle told Congress one day before resigning as Secret Service director that the incident was the Secret Service's "most significant operational failure" in decades.

The Secret Service plans to surround Trump's podium with bulletproof glass, according to two federal law enforcement officials. While this measure is typically used to protect sitting presidents, the Secret Service is making an exception after the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13, when the gunman took several shots at Trump, grazing his ear before a Secret Service sniper killed him. The plan was first set into motion by then-Secret Service director Kim Cheatle in the immediate aftermath of the rally. The Secret Service typically pre-positions personnel around the country in battleground states so they can be within driving distance of campaign rallies, which enables faster transportation of the ballistic glass to events. The Secret Service declined to comment on its reported plans. Within weeks after the shooting, Trump vowed to continue appearing at outdoor rallies and said the Secret Service had " agreed to substantially step up " its operation. The Secret Service had already increased its security efforts around Trump — in fact, the Butler rally was the first event of the 2024 campaign where the agency's highly trained counter snipers were deployed to secure a campaign event for the former president. But the event was plagued by security lapses, and in the wake of the attempt on Trump's life, Cheatle resigned . The acting Secret Service Ronald Rowe disclosed that Secret Service counter snipers did not have radio communications with local law enforcement that day. Instead, the agents relied on text messaging, with local Butler County tactical teams sending Secret Service snipers two pictures of Crooks via text message at 5:45 p.m., about 26 minutes before shots were fired. The Department of Homeland Security is assisting the Secret Service in establishing a committee to explore the permanent creation of a uniform communication channel. This would enable the Secret Service, federal law enforcement officials and state and local law enforcement officials assisting the agency to radio one another with greater ease, allowing communication between law enforcement entities that typically transmit messages on separate frequencies. The panel is still being assembled, with assistance from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and will be led by Heather Fong, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' senior counselor for law enforcement and acting assistant secretary for the Office for State & Local Law Enforcement. Fong is also a former San Francisco chief of police. Notably, Rowe has conceded that problems with communications among law enforcement agencies on July 13 delayed critical information from being relayed to the Secret Service as local law enforcement pursued the gunman in the minutes leading up to the shooting. - United States Secret Service

Loading....The delivery service that moves library materials across Maine will resume Sept. 3, months after it was suspended because of a contract dispute. ![eiu resume help](https://w2pcms.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/38677462_20240605_Library_9200.jpg?w=300) Sarah Schultz-Nielsen, director of Lithgow Public Library, packs interlibrary loan pouches back into a shipping bin at the Augusta library in June. Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal Libraries were notified in June that the popular interlibrary loan service would be suspended while the state heard an appeal from Freedom Xpress Inc., a Brewer-based company that handled the deliveries for 12 years but was not awarded a new contract. Ultimately, an appeals board upheld the Maine State Library’s decision to give the contract to STAT Courier, a national library courier company based in Missouri. Maine State Librarian Lori Fisher said in a statement Monday that the van delivery service “has been deeply missed” by academic, public and school libraries that rely on interlibrary loans. “I am grateful to the public, school and academic libraries who bore the brunt of this pause in service due to the complex legal appeal process we were required to navigate after the Request For Proposal award was announced,” Fisher said. “We heard from many Maine residents who were impacted by the disruption in service, which underscores the need for information and resource sharing statewide.” More than 180 libraries participate in the service, with more 1 million items transported each year, Fisher said. Maine interlibrary loan system on hold for weeks because of contract dispute The state’s bid process did not require the contract be awarded to the lowest bidder. According to the state library, STAT Courier was chosen because it provides a dedicated service – its trucks, drivers and sorters deal with library materials only – with no additional stops for other types of deliveries. The company has three sorting hubs in Maine with a process to shuttle materials between them to help with efficiency. Advertisement After Freedom Xpress filed an appeal, the Department of Administrative and Financial Services told the state library that it could not yet sign a new contract, but was able to start final negotiations to limit the amount of time the service was suspended. Fisher said STAT Courier will officially begin van delivery service on Aug. 26. During a one-week transition period, the company will get stranded materials back to their home libraries and test new delivery routes. Maine interlibrary loans to resume after board approves book delivery service After the service disruption was announced in June, library directors and patrons lamented the pause. The loss was particularly acute in rural towns, where small libraries have limited resources. Some libraries got creative to fill the gap while the appeals process was underway. The South Portland Public Library teamed up with eight others in the area to offer a smaller version of interlibrary loans they dubbed “Mini-ME.” Kevin Davis, director of the library in South Portland, said patrons are looking forward to again having access to materials from libraries statewide. “Working with our local library colleagues, we have done our best to minimize the impact created by the disruption in delivery service this summer,” he said in a statement. “However, nothing can match the selection and diversity of materials available when delivery service is fully up and running.” Related HeadlinesModify your screen name Join the ConversationPlease sign into your Press Herald account to participate in conversations below.
