POWER

It’s something we strive for, something that society places in high regard. Although Harford Community College recognizes that, we also know that it’s not the power itself that is important, but the positive things that can be done with the power. It’s about empowerment. The Power to . . . What does Harford empower you to do? What makes you say, “We’ve Got the Power”?

Message From the President At Harford Community College, we strive to enrich and expand lives—giving those who come here the power to achieve their academic, career and development goals. I am pleased to share with you the many accomplishments that occurred at Harford Community College between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. One of our most significant achievements is that the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) reaffirmed the accreditation of the College, a process that involves a 10-year cycle of review. We not only received a commendation from MSCHE on the quality of the self-study process, but the College is also in a very select group of institutions with no follow-up reporting requirements. In addition, we received another kudo— the College was named as one of five model institutions.

Dr. Dennis Golladay President, Harford Community College

Harford Community College is growing! During FY12, work began on the Susquehanna Center renovation and expansion. The project was completed in FY13 and included the new APG Federal Credit Union Arena. We greatly appreciate the financial support of the State and County as well as APGFCU, our naming partner. In addition, we have begun the design phase for a new Nursing and Allied Health building. For the first time ever, this facility will bring together the work of the credit and noncredit divisions, allowing them to share resources and plan curriculum to meet the needs of our students.

I participated in the Northeastern Maryland Higher Education Task Force, designated by the Governor to recommend solutions to higher education needs in the region. As a result, the Towson building that has been discussed for years will finally become a reality. We hope to break ground in spring 2013. The building, which will be located on the west side of campus, will allow students access to four-year degrees without the commute to Towson, saving them time and money. Our academic programs are strong—the College was recently named a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance 2-Year Education. Our students are performing well academically and our athletic teams are having winning seasons. Thank you for your continued support of the College. As you read this report, I hope you will join me in taking great pride in the very important work being conducted at Harford each and every day.

Internship Project Attracts National Attention Anthropology students Morgan Bengel, David Guzman, Cara Heasley, Grace Lee, Ella Michel-Tylor, and Rachel Smith were selected to participate in “Anthropology By the Wire,” a prestigious, very selective, paid internship experience where students live on the Towson University campus for six weeks and learn about anthropological film making and urban ethnography. They conducted anthropological research with community agencies and feature people in Baltimore who are living with AIDS. This multimedia research project on urban and visual anthropology in Baltimore was a very important project for Towson and has generated national attention. The internship was funded by a National Science Foundation grant. http://anthropologybythewire.com/

Student Magazine Benefits Students and the College OWL Magazine is written, designed, produced and distributed by students—a unique selling point to prospective students. While the newspaper industry is fading, the magazine industry is flourishing. Graphic designers who previously worked on the newspaper staff stressed that their professional interest is in magazine design, not newspaper design. While the magazine showcases student photography, writing, and design, OWL readership has increased student involvement on campus and in the greater community, putting HCC on the cutting edge of college media production.

Field Trips Add to Academic Experience Cultural Anthropology classes (above) visited the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian for a special tour by a Native American on the topic of American Indian identity. Sociology students participated in a field trip to the Newseum in Washington, D.C. They visited several exhibits relating to journalism and contemporary social issues, including one devoted to issues surrounding 9/11. Students also participated in a museum-conducted workshop on media ethics.

In May, several students participated in an archeological excavation and artifact analysis at Elk Landing, the site of a bunker during the War of 1812. The excavation was sponsored by the State of Maryland Archeology office, the Archeological Society of Maryland, and the local Archeological Society of the Northern Chesapeake. Students participated in both the dig and the artifact analysis at the Hays– Heighe House.

THE POWER TO EXPLORE

Academics

“ Students love field trips! I encourage them to bring family and friends, widening the opportunity for community members to get involved with the College. In fact, several family members and friends who have attended these trips have later enrolled at Harford because of their positive experience.”

THE POWER TO FINISH WHAT YOU START

Encouraging the Completion Agenda Established to increase college completion rates in Maryland, the goal of the Completion Agenda is to increase the number of people with postsecondary credentials, such as a degree or a certificate. Working in collaboration with College faculty, administrators, business leaders, local and state government, and public education teachers and administrators, Harford Community College has implemented several ways to encourage this agenda and increase a student’s opportunity to obtain employment or earn a bachelor’s degree in the future. • Compass Seminar/First Year Experience addresses skills freshmen need to succeed in college. • High School One Stop Programs provide easy access to enrollment. • Summer Bridge Program for incoming freshmen targets at-risk students and provides them additional help. • Articulation Programs with four-year institutions provide seamless transfer to bachelor’s programs. • Re-engaging Students by contacting and encouraging those who only need a few more credits to earn a degree/certificate • Reverse Transfer allows students who transfer to a four-year college without first earning their associate degree to transfer credits back from the four-year college to HCC in order to earn the associate degree. • Completion Advisors contact currently enrolled students who have earned at least 45 credits but not yet graduated, offering personalized advising to assist them with expeditious degree or certificate completion.

Between December 2010 and December 2011, HCC saw a 27% increase in the number of graduates.

HCC instructors challenge students to achieve things they never thought were possible. They open their minds to new ideas and teach them to follow their dreams . . . giving them the power to say, “I can.”

Faculty Members Work to Revise Statewide Curriculum HCC faculty members Chris Jones, Deborah Jaeger, Fary Sami, Meredyth Puller, Dotti Miller, and Laura Hutton were chosen to participate in statewide workgroups in the areas of Mathematics, English, and Teacher Education. In conjunction with the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), the multiyear project tasks groups with setting standards for K-12 assessments in Math and English as well as improving the preparation of incoming college students—reducing remediation and increasing degree attainment. The state plans to move forward with the new standards by 2014.

MSCHE Reaffirms Accreditation of HCC The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) has reaffirmed the accreditation of the College. The accreditation process conducted by the Middle States Commission involves a 10-year cycle of review that includes a Self-Study Report prepared by the institution under review as well as an on-site evaluation visit by a Commission team.

“Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.” William Butler Yeats

• Th e College had no follow-up reporting requirements. Only about 20% of the MSCHE institutions recently reaffirmed were in this select group. •A chieved the best possible outcome from the entire self-study/ accreditation process •R eceived commendation from MSCHE on the quality of the self-study process •W as named one of five model institutions

Use of the Blackboard Online Learning System to submit electronic assignments instead of paper documents enables the College to save both money and resources.

Nursing students achieved a 92.5% first-time NCLEX-RN pass rate.

Students in the Medical Assisting program achieved a national exam pass rate of 85%—above the national average.

BUILD STUDENT SUCCESS Student success. It’s the culmination of all we do at Harford. Comprehensive support services not only enrich our strong academic programs, but also prepare our students for what comes next, whether it’s a promotion, a new career, or transfer to a university. Simply put, we have the power to build futures. First Year Experience (FYE) Launched in Spring 2012 First Year Experience is a collaborative College-wide effort to improve student learning and to promote a successful transition into higher education. The goal is to help students foster relationships and to become a part of the campus community by learning skills through mentors, classroom activities, and workshops. FYE Survival Guides were designed by the Marketing department and distributed to all students who participated in the FYE one-credit seminar course. Thirty-seven students successfully completed the FYE course and received a one-credit tuition reimbursement for helping to pilot the program.

Support Services

In the classroom, online, on campus— Harford Community College provides tools and resources to ensure the success of our students. Pilot Program Launched: High School One-Stop for Easy Access to Enrollment During the 2011–2012 school year, HCC piloted a One-Stop registration day at two Harford County Public High Schools, C. Milton Wright and Edgewood. For a two-week period, HCC personnel from admissions, academic advising, disability support services, and enrollment services traveled to each site and offered One-Stop introductory overview, academic skills assessment, a self-directed

learner presentation, academic advising, course selection, and OwlNet registration. The program, designed to offer students the entire enrollment process without traveling to campus, was well received and participating schools have already expressed interest in doing it again next year.

“We are privileged to have such a diverse array of students with various ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and individual identities. Those unique aspects challenge us to provide quality and uniquely tailored services.” Dr. Diane Resides, Associate Vice President Student Affairs & Institutional Effectiveness

Approximately 1,631 students were served during 2011-2012 One-Stop sessions.

THE POWER TO SERVE

Career and Academic Advisors guide students as they explore and identify majors and make decisions impacting their overall career and academic development.

More than 300 HCC students are currently using veterans educational benefits. A Commitment to Veterans and Their Families The College joined 21 community colleges and four-year institutions in signing the Maryland Campus Contract for Student Veterans to improve on-campus services for our veterans. Initiatives included: • Creation of a Veterans Task Force • Removal of barriers for returning veterans • Creation of a web page to centralize information for veterans Harford Community College is a member of Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC), a consortium of national higher education associations with more than 1,900 institutional members that subscribe to principles designed to provide quality academic programs to military students and their families. Through use of SOC agreements, active duty and reserve service members and their family members are able to lock in a degree plan with a home college and continue to work on that degree plan after leaving the home school through completion of pre-approved course equivalents. HCC is also a supporting member of My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA), a Department of Defense program that assists spouses of active duty service members in completing college and other training programs designed to develop portable career skills that will enable them to find employment as they transfer from post to post with their military partner.

HCC implemented electronic billing to minimize printing of billing statements, thereby reducing paper consumption, printing, and cost of postage.

Veterans Space The College, in conjunction with the Veterans Club (above), recently opened a space for veterans to work and study in the Student Center.

Online Chat Advising Online chat gives students the opportunity to meet with an advisor online during times when students would like to meet with an advisor, but may not be able to due to circumstances such as child care, traffic, or work schedule.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Online advising is helpful because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about how long the line is going to be, and I can get home and work on the things I have to work on.â&#x20AC;?

Wayne Hepler and Sir Hans Knot, renowned scholar of pirate broadcast history, meet in Groningen, Netherlands.

Modern Day Pirates Meet HCC Professor In August 2011, Wayne Hepler, Associate Professor of Mass Communications, approached the Board of Trustees requesting a sabbatical to research radio piracy—both the original pirates of the Netherlands and UK in the mid-60s, and present-day, covert pirates in America. By the spring 2012 semester, Hepler and two HCC Mass Communications students traveled to the Netherlands and the UK, conducting interviews and videotaping numerous pirates—many in silhouette to protect their identities. The stories were both poignant and humorous, documenting life on the high seas and in hiding. The culmination of Hepler’s research will be presented at a variety of conferences and competitive film venues next year. The Board will see a segment of his work in early 2013.

“With an education, your power is limitless.” Taryn Nance, Student Speaker at Advocacy Day

Perspective

HCC volunteers celebrated Earth Day by planting small trees and shrubs around the campus. Green tours showcased sustainable features incorporated in HCC buildings and grounds.

Alternative Spring Break Instead of taking time out to relax from their studies, HCC students put others before themselves by spending their spring break serving others. Through the 2012 Alternative Spring Break program, HCC students visited Washington, D.C. for three days performing community service projects. At the nonprofit agency “Food & Friends,” students prepared and delivered meals to individuals in D.C. living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses. Additionally, the team worked at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in D.C. helping to clean up the grounds and interacting with residents.

“ . . . Students seemed to really enjoy interacting with the residents of the Retirement Home and took special pride in the ability to serve those who have served our country.” Elaine Gisriel, College Life Specialist, Alternative Spring Break Advisor

During FY12, 26 students enrolled in the Rites of Passage mentoring program. The Rites of Passage Mentoring Program Throughout the year, Rites of Passage sponsored events ranging from documentary screenings, panel discussions, and exhibits to lectures and visits to area colleges and historic sites. One of the year’s most well attended events was a documentary screening and discussion called Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes, which provided an examination of manhood, sexism, violence, and homophobia in hip-hop culture.

Future Plans

Two major capital projects were underway in FY12: Construction of $4.1M Waste Water Treatment Facility The new Waste Water Treatment Plant constructed at Harford Community College dramatically improves the quality of waste water through the use of natural biological processes. In addition, the amount of energy needed to operate the plant is much less when compared to a conventional package plant. This new system provides for a very low carbon footprint. Susquehanna Center The $27M Susquehanna renovation and expansion included a new auxiliary gym, two new multipurpose rooms, a new dance studio, a new larger fitness center, athletics offices, a student lounge, and a completely renovated pool, along with the construction of the 50,000 square foot APG Federal Credit Union Arena.

Planning Ahead Nursing and Allied Health Building The design phase has begun for a new Nursing and Allied Health building. For the first time ever, this facility will bring together the work of the credit and noncredit divisions allowing them to share resources and plan curriculum. Work is scheduled to begin on the new 45,000 square foot building during spring 2013 with completion by fall 2014.

Plant Services Annex Building The Plant Services Annex will consist of a two-story 12-14,000 square foot building located on the North side of Joppa Hall. The building will house the Copy Center, Computer and Technology Services, bulk storage, Housekeeping and office space for several Plant Services personnel. Work is expected to begin in summer 2013 and be completed within 12 months.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nursing and Allied Health building is being designed with input from all the stakeholders: students, faculty, staff, and administrators. The intent of the design is that the building reflects health and wellness. Therefore, there will be lots of natural light, pleasing textures, and open spaces.â&#x20AC;? ~ Tina Zimmerman, Professor of Nursing

Fitness Center Named for Dixie Construction Dixie Construction Company made a $150,000 gift to the Harford Community College Foundation, Inc., and in return, the fitness center in the newly renovated Susquehanna Center was named in their honor. $50,000 was designated to purchase state-of-the-art fitness equipment and $100,000 went into the HCC Foundation’s unrestricted fund that provides

resources for scholarships/ grants, innovative teaching grants, faculty and student travel, building restoration, and information technology enhancements. Diane Dixon, CEO, and David Dixon, General Manager, alumni of Harford Community College, felt strongly about supporting the College through this named gift.

Harford Offsets Carbon Footprint With Photovoltaic Panels Thanks in large part to J.M. Huber Corporation, fortyfive 230-watt photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof of Aberdeen Hall, Harford’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math center. Huber Engineered Materials, a division of J.M. Huber Corporation, made a five-year pledge of $50,000 to support student scholarships, scientific education, and sustainability projects, which included $40,000 for the photovoltaic panels.

In recognition of their generous gift, Chemistry lab #303 in Aberdeen Hall was named for J.M. Huber Corporation. The photovoltaic system will generate approximately 10,000 watts of electricity and will be reflected on HCC’s monthly BGE bill. The College will retain ownership of the system’s “Renewable Energy Credits,” which can be used to help offset its carbon footprint.

Our ongoing Alumni Outreach Campaign continues to provide ways for alumni and friends to stay connected to campus. In addition to Harford, our biannual news magazine, we have created an e-newsletter and added social media outlets for alumni through Facebook and LinkedIn. Through the Association’s fundraising efforts, the Alumni Endowment Fund reached a historic value of $200,000, which was a long-standing goal for the group. Each year the Association awards scholarships from the fund to full-time, part-time and transfer students.
