Drywall Repair It is almost inevitable that you will need to patch or repair drywall somewhere in your house. Drywall is easily repaired with virtually no evidence of any of the damage.

Executive Institute Challenge As the "Knowledge Worker Age" has replaced the "Industrial Age," organizations are now facing four chronic problems associated with this new dynamic: low trust in leadership, strategic uncertainty, an ominous shortage of experienced leaders, and an unending war for talent. If they are to transcend these potentially crippling issues, today’s leaders must heed the call for a new type of leadership, one that treats individuals as “whole people”—body, heart, mind, and soul.

Solution This program provides today’s management leaders a new mind-set, skill set, and tool set for leading individuals—and 21st century organizations—to greatness. The series comprises seven stand-alone training and development modules, each of which teaches a specific set of imperatives that leaders can apply immediately, to create a work environment that addresses the needs of the knowledge worker.

About the Course The impact of two or three days of training on individual effectiveness is profound.

But for leaders who can barely make time for lunch—let alone multiple days of training—this program lets them focus on one specific leadership competency, a half day at a time. Drawn from the proven content of FranklinCovey’s flagship leadershipdevelopment program the Leadership Modular Series, this program includes the following instructor-led training modules:

Harford Community College, as a member of the Maryland Association of Community Colleges, is partnering with the State Administration on Skills2Compete-Maryland, a major initiative aimed at increasing the skills and competitiveness of Maryland’s workforce.

By preparing more Marylanders for middle-skill jobs (those that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree), Marylanders can gain the skills and credentials they need to get good jobs with family-supporting wages. Middleskill jobs are the backbone of the state’s economy, making up half of Maryland’s labor market.

Maryland community colleges are the places to go for training to meet the middle skill labor demand in the state. Visit Skills2Compete-Maryland at www.skills.maryland.gov to learn more about this important effort.

Technical Standards Many Healthcare & Human Services Programs have essential technical standards that include physical abilities and behavioral characteristics necessary for successfully completion. It is the policy of HCC to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities to ensure equal opportunity to meet the academic and technical standards. Determination of a reasonable accommodation will be considered on an individual basis and is an interactive collaboration with the disability support services provider, the student, the program advisor, and the faculty member, when indicated. For a complete statement of the technical standards, please visit our web page at http://www.harford.edu/ cet/HealthCare or contact the Healthcare & Human Services Office in Continuing Education & Training.

Have you always dreamed of working with large and exotic animals? With the addition of the new Exotic Animal Module and Externship to the Veterinary Assistant Program, students work with many varieties of large wild and domesticated animals, which may lead to employment opportunities beyond veterinary offices, clinics, and hospitals.

Learn the advanced techniques used at a local zoo to improve the lives of the many rare and endangered captive animals that reside there. Zookeepers and handlers use these training methods to communicate with the animals rather than domesticate them.

The program consists of lecture, skills lab, and externships. Schedules typically include evening, weekend, and holiday hours. Good physical health is a prerequisite due to the risks of working with animals. You must be able to see, hear, communicate, maneuver in tight spaces, and run without difficulty.

Whether you decide to continue in this field or not, our program provides you with an experience that could be one of the most memorable and rewarding times of your life!

Advanced Rider Course This course is the civilian version of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's military sport bike course, but it can be taken on any stock street legal motorcycle. It is a course designed for experienced riders. For the purposes of this course, an experienced rider is one who has the basic skills and is a current rider with a motorcycle license. The Advanced Rider Course is designed to compliment and build on the skills learned and practiced in other rider courses. Special emphasis is given to self-assessment, risk management, rider behavior, riding strategies, and overall skills development, particularly in braking, cornering, and swerving techniques. Students use their own bikes and get feedback from very experienced instructors. A motorcycle license is required. Recent real time mileage on a personal motorcycle is a must, and students must be able to demonstrate good basic skills to be allowed to continue. The class covers 3 hours of classroom instruction, a break for lunch, and 5 hours on the range.

License, registration, and insurance will be checked before class. Proper attire includes DOT certified helmet, protective eyewear, fullfingered gloves, long pants, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and sturdy over-the-ankle boots.

Parental or guardian approval, in writing, is required for participants under age 18.

Personal motorcycles must be street legal, in good operating condition, and pass a routine pre-ride check given as a part of the course.

Because of the high level of traction required, the riding activities will NOT be conducted if the riding surface is wet. The classroom activities will be conducted and the riding portion rescheduled for another time.

During the riding activities, each rider will be evaluated by the instructors on their ability to accomplish the riding objectives. Riders who cannot demonstrate minimum riding proficiency will not be allowed to continue

Aqua Zumba Known as the Zumba "pool party," Aqua Zumba gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing, stretching, twisting - even shouting, laughing, hooting, and hollering - are often heard during an Aqua Zumba class. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua fitness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief. Aqua Zumba uses mostly Latin music rhythms such as Merengue, Cumbia, Salsa, and Reggaeton, but can also use a variety of upbeat tempos as found in international music. Because of the resistance of the water, Zumba movements will be slower and adjusted to the water environment; however, the workout can be just as intense. Water shoes are needed for this class.

HCC provides for the equitable resolution of complaints by students with disabilities alleging a violation of their rights under the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Students can begin the informal grievance process by filing a complaint in writing with the Coordinator for Disability and Student Intervention Services (443-412-2132). A formal grievance may be filed in writing at any time with the Director for Human Resources and Employee Development (443-412-2129). An investigation into the complaint will be completed within 30 workdays for an informal grievance and 90 workdays for a formal grievance. For more information, call Disability Support Services at 443-412-2132 or TTY 443-412-2199.

Transcripts may be requested via the website or by submitting a Noncredit Transcript Request form. To request a transcript via the web, visit HCC’s Student OnLine Access to Resources (SOLAR) system, which can be found at www.harford.edu. For a Noncredit Transcript Request form, call 443-412-2376.

Security Tips •

•

•

•

•

•

Do not engage in conversation with people who make you feel threatened.

Being alone and under the influence of alcohol and drugs makes you more of a target to assailants.

Never drive (or ride with anyone) under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Lock vehicle and store valuables and books in the trunk or out of sight.

Walk with others to and from class when possible; there is safety in numbers.

Use well-lighted areas and walkways.

• When walking to or from your vehicle, scan the area for suspicious subjects. If something makes you uncomfortable, walk to an area where other people are.

• If you are confronted by an armed assailant, the decision to comply or resist is a personal one. Any property you may have is not worth your life.

• Keep your keys ready when approaching your vehicle to reduce the time it takes to enter.

• When driving at night, keep your doors locked and windows up.

• When stopped at a traffic signal, maintain space between you and the vehicle in front of you so you can pull away if necessary.

• Trust your intuition. Call Public Safety at ext. 2272 to report any suspicious activity.

Bicycling, Skating, and Skateboarding Bicycling and bicycle commuting are encouraged, although riding on sidewalks and in the Quad area is not allowed. Skating and skateboarding are prohibited on all campus property.

Drug and Alcohol Philosophy Statement Harford Community College is dedicated to maintaining an educational environment in which students may be prepared for an enriched and productive participation in society, and thus enhance the quality of community life.

The College is committed to providing a campus that is free of illegal drug use and drug and alcohol abuse, and in so doing, supports the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act states that the use of illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and campus members can significantly impede the learning process.

The College recognizes drug and alcohol abuse as an illness and a major health problem. The College also recognizes drug and alcohol abuse as a potential safety and security problem. Therefore, the College Life Office offers a number of educational programs throughout the year to encourage awareness among students and employees about the hazards of drug and alcohol abuse.

Sexual Assault Policy Harford Community College condemns sexual assault and rape. The College is committed to providing a working and learning environment in which all members of the academic community are free from crime and the fear it may elicit. Men and women of the campus community who commit these crimes are subject to severe sanctions through the campus judicial/ disciplinary systems and/or the criminal justice system. Such sanctions include, but are not limited to, suspension from duty and/or enrollment, termination of

124

employment and/or enrollment, and criminal and/or civil prosecution.

Maryland Law Article 27, Section 461, 463, Rape/Sexual Offenses outlines what constitutes the offense(s) of sexual assault and the criminal penalties. Copies of the statute are available from the Public Safety Office.

The Public Safety Office is open 24 hours a day to assist victims of sexual assault.

Security officers can be reached on campus by calling ext. 2272 and from off campus at 443-412-2272.

Complaints/incidents of sexual assault occurring at HCC or during the course of HCC-sponsored activities must be reported to Public Safety. Public Safety, with the consent of the victim, will notify the Harford County Sheriff’s Office to conduct official criminal investigations of any charges of sexual assault. Public Safety will also contact a staff member from the Student Intervention and Prevention Team, if available, to assist the victim through the reporting and referral process. Appropriate College administrators (Associate Vice President for Student Development, Vice President for Student Development and Institutional Effectiveness, and/or Vice President for Marketing, Development and Community Relations and/or division deans) will also be notified of the incident(s). Precautions will be taken to involve only those persons with concrete knowledge of the incident or with a legitimate educational interest. At the request of the victim, Public Safety will arrange for transportation to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center for medical treatment. The hospital is equipped with Maryland State Police Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits.

Victims of sexual assault will be referred to the Sexual Assault/Spousal Abuse Resource Center (SARC) located in Bel Air, Maryland, for counseling services.

Student Intervention and Prevention (SIP) As members of the campus community, students have a shared ethical responsibility to report concerning behaviors they experience or observe. Concerning behaviors include emotional distress, unusual behavior, abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs, thoughts of suicide or homicide, disturbing written material, and other troubling behaviors. If you experience or you know or observe someone who exhibits any of these behaviors, it is your duty to report them on a Report Form for Concerning Behavior, www.harford.edu (Student Life Tab). You may also report the situation to the Associate Vice President for Student Development or designee, Student Center, Room 254.

While HCC does not have a counseling center, the College does have a SIP Team.

SIP Team members are College employees who, through their professional skill set, are capable of providing assistance to the student as necessary. The SIP team may meet with the student in question, assess the situation, provide resources, and/or mandate an assessment. A student who exhibits behavior that is a threat of harm to self or others may be temporarily suspended from HCC on an interim basis pending a disciplinary proceeding or medical evaluation.

After a campus sexual assault has been reported, and upon request of the victim, if feasible, transfer to alternative classes shall be made.

Disciplinary action(s) against employee violators of this policy shall be handled under existing College procedures as outlined in the Harford Community College Board of Trustees Practices and Procedures Manual. Disciplinary action(s) against student violators of this policy will be handled according to existing procedures outlined in the Harford Community College Student Code of Conduct.
