Program Feat ure:

Advance Your Career With Project Management Training Project Management (PMP®) Certification is one of the most marketable credentials for government organizations, DoD contractors and job candidates. Feedback from students in both the intensive16-hour exam prep course and the full 35-hour exam preparation course has been very positive. “The PMP® certification exam prep bootcamp at the Gate does exactly what it says. It prepares you and sets an expectation as to what knowledge and test-taking skills are required for the exam, while also providing the opportunity to discuss as a class our real-world experiences.” IT systems analyst Lee Magny traveled from Columbia to the Performance Training Center in Aberdeen to complete the PMP® exam prep course with instructor Mary McNally.

Contact Pam Karwowski at pkarwowski@harford.edu or 443-360-9108 for information about quality, cost-effective PMP® training at several Harford County locations including the Performance Training Center on APG.

MEET THE INSTRUCTOR Mary McNally, PMP® Mary McNally, PMP®, ITIL V3, has taught PMP® preparation classes for six years at Harford Community College and has more than 30 years of project management experience. Known for her down-to-earth style, Mary shows people how to simplify complex problems and make effective decisions. She has been involved in biochemistry, IT, HR, real estate, training, and telecommunication projects. “When I teach a PMP® certification exam prep bootcamp, I provide students with information that can be used in their professional setting every day as well as what they need to pass the PMP® certification exam.”

ONLINE EDUCATION FOR BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS If your organization is like most, you need flexible options for the educational needs of your staff. Perhaps your employees travel extensively and cannot attend regularly scheduled classes. Or your personnel are scattered throughout the country. Or you want all your employees to have short, targeted training with weekly drop-in sessions. Maybe your employees need the same consistent training on a new product or service. Or you want traditional face-to-face instruction with an online component for your staff to access and share ideas long after the course is over. Whatever your situation, HCC can provide an online training solution that fits your needs.

Convenient, Standardized and Economical Online training, either in conjunction with classroom-based courses or as the sole means of instruction, provides a convenient, standardized, and economical approach to corporate training. Employees attend class from anywhere – in the office, at home, or on the road – and study at a pace that is right for them. With courses that are either instructor-led or self-paced, with or without a live chat or web conferencing component, Harford can assist you with your educational needs.

American Profiles: NEW Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, “Duchess of Baltimore” Long before Baltimore’s Wallace Warfield Simpson married into British royalty, Betsy Patterson entered the imperial family of Napoleon Bonaparte by marrying his youngest brother, Jerome. Alas, it was not to be a lengthy marriage since Napoleon rejected the match and eventually convinced his brother to seek a new wife elsewhere. Betsy spent a lifetime seeking a throne for her son and entrance into European society for herself. Sadly, she spent far too many years alone in Baltimore, a city she professed to hate. Along the way, she shocked proper Americans with her risqué dress and became a fast friend to Dolley Madison. Tuition: $19 Sessions: 1 Course: 45663 J.

American Profiles: NEW Thomas Paine - The Controversial Founding Father

American Profiles: Patrick Henry The First Founding Father

Pamphleteer, inventor, diplomat, controversial hero of two revolutions, Thomas Paine has been called “Benjamin Franklin on steroids”. His close friends included Franklin and Jefferson, and his writings, especially Common Sense, endeared him to much of revolutionary America. Later he played a role in the French Revolution, nearly losing his head in the process. He returned to America at Jefferson’s invitation where his later writings alienated most of his earlier supporters. When he died in 1809, only six people attended his funeral.

As the American Revolution approached, Patrick Henry was America’s greatest orator and one of its finest lawyers. His passion for liberty made him one of the first to call for America’s independence from Great Britain, and his leadership brought many others to the cause. Later, that same passion led him to oppose his nation’s new Constitution. Known for his motto “Liberty or Death,” a common jest at the time, many proposed that with his 18 children, Henry, and not George Washington, was the true father of his country.

Formerly known as the Experienced Rider Course (ERC), this 6-hour course is for the licensed rider who wants to improve or refresh his/her skills, or who has recently completed the Basic Rider Course and wants additional practice on their personal motorcycle. The class consists of nine riding exercises. Eight of the exercises are borrowed from the Basic Rider Course (BRC) with some minor enhancements for the more experienced rider and one completely new exercise. Instruction is provided by Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program Certified Instructors. Individuals enrolling in this course must have a valid Class “M” motorcycle license. During the initial riding activities, each rider’s ability to operate a motorcycle will be evaluated by the instructors. Riders who cannot demonstrate minimum riding proficiency will not be allowed to continue and will need to consider enrolling in the Basic Rider Course. Riders who are not allowed to continue will not be eligible for a refund and may have to pay an additional fee to be enrolled in the Basic Rider Course. Riders are expected to use their own motorcycle. Personal motorcycles must be street legal, in good operating condition, and pass a routine pre-ride check given as a part of the course. To complete the course, riders

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. This is a brand new class, being offered at HCC as one of only 4 locations within Maryland. 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. 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 or should consider enrolling in the Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2). Riders who are not allowed to continue will not be eligible for a refund and may have to pay an additional fee to be

Returning Rider Course The Returning Rider Course (RRC) is designed specifically for those riders who were active motorcyclists at one time and want to refresh their skills before “returning” to the street on two wheels. You may be considered a “Returning Rider” if: you have a Class “M” license; you are over 30 years of age; it’s been several years since you’ve ridden a motorcycle on the street; you are between motorcycles and want a refresher before buying a new bike; or you participated in the Basic Rider Course over 3 years ago and received a Class “M” license. This course is NOT intended for a novice rider who is learning to ride for the first time. Prerequisites for this course include the ability to: coordinate clutch and throttle use to control the motorcycle smoothly; upshift and downshift smoothly; stop the motorcycle properly at a designated point; and negotiate normal roadway turns. During the first riding exercise, you will be evaluated based on the prerequisites. The first part of the exercise is intended to allow you the opportunity to get familiar with the training motorcycle and reintroduce you to the primary controls. Even if you have been out of the saddle for an extended period of time, you should remember. The second part of the exercise will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your skills in straight line riding, shifting, and stopping. If you are not able to show minimal proficiency in motorcycle operation, you will not be allowed to continue in the course. This does not necessarily mean that you will not be able to re-enter motorcycling, but that you should consider enrolling in a Basic Rider Course, which would provide additional time for skill development. The RRC is 8 hours long and consists of 3 hours of classroom and 5 hours of riding activities. It is designed to reacquaint a rider with riding a motorcycle and familiarize him/ her with changes in the motorcycling world

The American Civil War was the first major conflict where railroads played a prominent role and the B&O was the major line that straddled a divided country. Between April 19, 1861 (The Baltimore Riot of 1861) and April 21, 1865 (Lincoln’s funeral train leaving Baltimore for Illinois), the B&O stood witness and participated in the greatest conflict the U.S. has ever faced and changed the course of American history. The second stop of the tour includes one of the oldest and most complete surviving metropolitan railroad station buildings in the country, Camden Station. Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards has restored the Gentlemen’s Waiting Room to its original luster. Visitors to the museum can learn about Camden Station’s important role in the first blood of the Civil War during the Pratt Street riots as well as Abraham Lincoln’s connection to the building in the exhibit Lincoln, Riots, and Railroads. Artifacts in the Gentlemen’s Waiting Room include rare artifacts from the Pratt Street Riots, personal items from a Confederate prisoner who passed through the station as well as historic photographs and maps.

Lunch is at Brooks Tavern which many say is Chestertown’s best restaurant. Our three course lunch includes a choice of soup of the day or salad, a choice of three entrees (Carolina crepe with pulled pork, shrimp and grits, or crab cake) and a choice of dessert. After lunch tour the kitchen and have a conversation with the chef. There will be time to shop and explore the quaint shops of Chestertown and/or visit the Custom House with an audio tour.

NEW

Washington, DC Thursday, October 27 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM President Abraham Lincoln struggled throughout the Civil War to preserve the Union. He lived long enough to see it maintained—but not long enough to help in healing the wounds left by the war. The theatre where Lincoln was shot and the house where he died are preserved today as Ford‘s Theatre National Historic Site to teach us of these events, to remind us of troubling times this Nation passed through and to encourage us to perpetuate the aspirations, the hopes and ideals that Lincoln held for the United States. The second part of our trip includes a visit to Lincoln’s Cottage. Located on a picturesque hilltop in Washington, DC, President Lincoln’s Cottage is the most significant historic site directly associated with Lincoln’s presidency aside from the White House. During the Civil War, President Lincoln and his family resided here from June to November of 1862, 1863, and 1864. During your visit, you will assume the role of President Lincoln’s cabinet members and recreate the heated discussion of Lincoln’s preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on July 22, 1862. The program is conducted by a museum educator, and won a Silver MUSE Award from the American Association of Museums for its innovative use of educational technology. Course fee includes travel by motorcoach, admission to Ford’s Theatre and Lincoln’s Cottage, participation in the award winning program “Debating Emancipation” at Lincoln’s Cottage, and academic escort.

UPCOMING PROGRAMS OF INTEREST

Civil Rights Tour March 2012 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. ” Thomas Jefferson’s stirring words, written in 1776 in our Declaration of Independence, defined the promise of America-freedom and equality for all. The words rang hollow, however, for the millions of African Americans held in slavery prior to the Civil War, and later denied political, economic, educational, and social equality by unjust laws and social customs. This trip tells the powerful story of the heroic campaign we call the modern civil rights movement. The places we visit are the actual sites where these events occurred – the churches, schools, homes, and neighborhoods – where the battle was fought.

Christmas at Biltmore

Civil Rights Tour

Charming, romantic, adventurous . . . Your customized tour of Italy is coming in May 2012. The itinerary was coordinated with the help of Harford Community College’s own Eva DeRoma, instructor of both Italian and French. Eva will accompany the group providing valuable insight into the language and culture of Italy. Highlights of the 14 day tour include . . . • Panoramic tour of Ancient Rome • Vatican Museum • Sistine Chapel • St. Peter’s Baliica • Pompeii • Sorrento • Amalif Coast and Calabria • And so much more.

Thomas Jefferson’s stirring words, written in 1776 in our Declaration of Independence, defined the promise of America--freedom and equality for all. The words rang hollow, however, for the millions of African Americans held in slavery prior to the Civil War, and later denied political, economic, educational, and social equality by unjust laws and social customs. This trip will tell the powerful story of how and where the centuries-long struggle of African Americans to achieve the bright promise of America culminated in the mid-20th century in a heroic campaign we call the modern civil rights movement. The places we visit are the actual sites where these events occurred – the churches, schools, homes, and neighborhoods – where the battle was fought. Call 443-412-2175 to receive the details as they become available.

Plan are being finalized, so call now to be placed on the mailing list.

GENERAL INFORMATION Escort Services College Security operates an escort service at all times. The College Security vehicle is well marked and operated by a uniformed security officer. Call ext. 2272 from any campus phone for this service. All persons are encouraged to use this service.

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.

HCC Crime Statistics*

• 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 College Security at ext. 2272 to report any suspicious activity.

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.

employment and/or enrollment, 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 College Security Office. The College Security 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 College Security. College Security, 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. College Security 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, College Security 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 hand picked campus 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.

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.
