Entrepreneurial Effectiveness: Become a Leader Through Innovation 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 Program 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 Franklin Covey’s flagship leadership-development program, the Leadership Modular Series, this program includes the following instructor-led training modules: 1. The 4 Imperatives of Great Leaders 2. Inspiring Trust 3. Clarifying Your Team’s Purpose and Strategy 4. Closing the Execution Gap 5. Building Process Excellence 6. Unleashing Talent 7. Leading Across Generations An entrepreneurial coach certified

by Franklin Covey shows owners and executives how to take the courageous steps to increase market share and profitability in today’s economy.

Ethical hacking is the process of penetrating computers, networks and applications that you have official authorization to access in order to determine if vulnerabilities exist.

Once the vulnerabilities are discovered, what should be done to undertake preventative, corrective, and protective countermeasures before an actual compromise to the system takes place? This course will teach you how to look for weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems. You will use the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, but in a lawful and legitimate manner to assess the security of a target system.

You will work on a small (approximately 5-6” across) natural Ready-to-WeaveTM gourd that is cut, cleaned, drilled, and sealed with beeswax, and use natural, varied colored round reeds in several sizes.

The class will examine this elite force, from their battlefield exploits to their perpetration of some of the most heinous war crimes in history. It will also expose the myths that the Waffen SS remained aloof from the crimes against humanity committed by other Nazi organizations.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION Historical People

Andrew Jackson

Villains

America’s Heroes and Villains

Andrew Jackson’s first serious biographer called him “an atrocious saint” because of his many contradictions.

He could be both pragmatic and dogmatic in his personal dealings, his life in the military, and his terms as president. This lecture will cover the many events in Jackson’s life and try to locate those core values that explain who he truly was. In his life, he brushed up against many famous people from John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to Peggy Eaton and Sam Houston, yet he towered above them all.

Benedict Arnold

Examine some of the heroes and villains that shaped history. Learn interesting and notable facts about each selected character, how they influenced history in positive and negative ways, and how their actions affected the United States and the world.

John Marshall John Marshall, an ardent Federalist along with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, took an embarrassingly weak Supreme Court and made it equal to the other two branches of government. He did for the justice system what Hamilton did for the financial system. But he was so much more than American’s longestserving and most powerful Chief Justice. He served in all three branches of government as a congressman and as John Adams’ Secretary of State. And he stood with George Washington at Valley Forge. His is a truly amazing story, that of a giant among giants.

Sam Houston Sam Houston was president of a country - the Republic of Texas, governor of two states, a congressman and senator, and a military hero who received four wounds in the service of his country. Friend to Andrew Jackson, he was a larger than life western hero with many virtues - loyalty among them - and a basketful of vices, including a penchant for strong whisky and lots of it. He was a man of character who shaped much of the early southwest.

Perhaps the most fascinating character to emerge from the American Revolution was its bravest warrior and greatest traitor.

Why did Benedict Arnold do what he did? This session traces the rise and fall of Arnold, his lovely wife Peggy and the flamboyant British officer, Major John Andre. Arnold’s capture of Fort Ticonderoga, his march on Canada, bravery at Saratoga, and treachery at West Point will all be discussed. George Washington admired and trusted Benedict Arnold - for a while - and so might you!

Aaron Burr Aaron Burr’s treachery makes Benedict Arnold’s look tame by comparison. A schemer and plotter all of his life, this New England blue blood not only killed Alexander Hamilton in America’s most famous duel, he plotted the greatest act of treason in the history of the United States.

Had he succeeded in his plans, our country, whatever country it might be, would be very different today. This session focuses on who Aaron Burr was and looks at his relationships with some of America’s most revered leaders from George Washington and Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION James Wilkinson Everyone knows about Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr, but few have heard of James Wilkinson who bested them both in treachery. Considered a Revolutionary War hero (although he never did anything heroic), Wilkinson turned traitor in 1787 and was a double agent on the Spanish payroll and a co-conspirator in Aaron Burr’s schemes. And all this happened while Wilkinson was General of the Army and Governor of the Louisiana Territory. The twists and turns in his career failed in the end to make him famous, but guarantee to make him interesting.

“History on a plate! This is as good as it gets!”

J. Kozo Fall 2011 Student of Nick Noppinger

Life and Times of George Armstrong Custer Love him or hate him, George Armstrong Custer was a key figure in settling the West.

This session details Custer’s generalship during the American Civil War and the subsequent events leading up to his demise at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. Did Custer really save the Union army from defeat at Gettysburg? Could Custer have come out on top at Little Bighorn and changed the course of history a second time? Using the latest in archeological research methods, we can finally answer the question – was he a bad general or merely unlucky? All participants will receive a DVD of the instructor’s presentation and accompanying research material.

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.

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, bodytoning, 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.

Best known for creating the animated comedy South Park, Parker and Stone co-created the music with Lopez who co-wrote and cocomposed Avenue Q. The show lampoons organized religion and traditional musical theatre, reflecting the creators’ lifelong fascination with Mormonism and musicals.

It tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. Naive and optimistic, the two missionaries try to share their scriptures—which only one of them knows very well—but have trouble connecting with the locals who are worried about famine, poverty, and AIDS.

“My family is thrilled with our experiences at HCC’s Early Learning Center. My son Henry loves going to school and is always talking about what he did in class. I credit the wonderful teachers and aides that work at the ELC. They are kind, nurturing, and very patient. The curriculum is helping to prepare the students for the transition to kindergarten—we’re learning sight words and even have homework that is age appropriate yet also allows Henry to practice a variety of skills. It’s been a great experience for our family and I will be sad to say goodbye when Henry heads to kindergarten!”

Noncredit Transcripts Available

Grievance Procedure

The Continuing Education and Training Division offers official transcripts to students enrolled in many noncredit workrelated training courses and other courses (course description will indicate “Transcript Available”). Transcripts provide a history of noncredit courses completed and indicate the name of the course, start and end dates, course hours, and number of continuing education units earned.

Harford Community College has established informal and formal grievance procedures to resolve complaints regarding alleged discrimination based on a disability. 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.

Students planning to arrive for classes at these times should allow at least 20 minutes to locate a parking space and walk to the classroom location. Parking will not always be available adjacent to the classroom location. Students should watch the HCC sign at the corner of Thomas Run Road and Route 22 for traffic and parking information and avoid trying to access the lots indicated as FULL on the sign.

To avoid congestion, parking in the T Lot or J North Lot and walking to the desired location is suggested.

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

144

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.
