NEW CORRELL CENTER FOR TEACHER EDUCATION AND LEARNING OPENS ON CAMPUS BY
SHANE CONDIT
On January 25, the College of Coastal Georgia dedicated the second new academic building built on the campus under President Valerie Hepburn’s tenure. When the Health and Science building opened its doors for classes two years ago in January 2011, it was the first new instructional facility opened on the Brunswick campus in nearly 30 years. The weather could not have been better for the much anticipated unveiling of the Correll Center for Teacher Education and Learning. Hundreds gathered in the courtyard between the Jones building, Academic Commons North, and the Correll Center to hear Pete Correll and his wife, Ada Lee, explain why they were grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the project. The steps to success, he said, “start with a teacher.” The second floor of the center houses the School of Education and Teacher Preparation. Their space includes a suite of faculty offices, seminar rooms, and classrooms. Dr. Michael Hazelkorn, Dean of the SETP, praised the new facility as “very welcoming and accessible to students.” The state-of-the-art facility for
students pursuing degrees in education offers dedicated classrooms for teaching future teachers in their respective fields. English, Language Arts, and Social Science also have designated laboratories in which students hone their teaching skills. Integrating technology into the classroom was also an important consideration in the design of the space. Hazelkorn commented that the Center “was built with students in mind, and it also puts teacher education front and center here on campus.” The CCTEL also brings together under one roof a number of academic services for students. Both the Academic Tutoring and Instruction Center (ATTIC) and the Writing Center have relocated from the library to the first floor of the Correll Center. The ATTIC provides academic support to all College of Coastal Georgia students, and the Writing Center coaches help students polish and improve their writing. In addition, the Center for ServiceLearning has moved from its space in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to the CCTEL. The Center for Service-Learning initiates and supports curricular and co-curricular activities that enhance student learning and that respond to
Common-sense Tips about the Web That People Commonly Forget BY JESSICA
FRAZIER
When you log on to Facebook and post that status that you think is so funny that all your friends have to see it, or when you upload that embarrassing photo of your best friend passed out at last night’s party, do you ever stop and think how those things may come back to bite you? Did you know that things you post or like on the web can allow others to gather information about you that you might not want them to know? Recently subjects were invited to talk with a “psychic” who was able to tell them in-depth details about their lives that had them believing he was truly gifted. At the end of the experiment, a sheet was dropped, revealing a team of investigators who had been able to collect all the information from the participants’ Facebook pages. Seeing this got me to thinking about how much personal information my Facebook was giving out. By typing my name in Google, I could find a direct link to my Facebook and to photos I deleted a few years ago; I was
the critical needs of the community. Working closely with Habitat for Humanity and with the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Council this semester, Service-Learning is right at home in a building that molds students for a future of helping others.

ATTIC Moves to New Location in Correll Center
The Academic Tutoring and Instructional Center (ATTIC) on the Brunswick Campus has moved to a new location.

The mondopad provides tutors an opportunity for collaboration and the use of a giant interactive whiteboard to help
surprised that they were still hanging around. During my search, I came across a website where, for only a small fee each month, I can type in anyone’s name and find out every social website, fan club, or webpage that the person has ever been on. I really wish I had been more careful with the things I posted online. I never posted anything seriously damaging, but I did not realize that once information is out there, there’s nothing I can do about it. Here are a few tips that can help you avoid costly or embarrassing mistakes and protect you when you go online. 1) Seriously think about things before you post them. If you think it will be funny to post those embarrassing photos of your friends, think about how your joke might affect them in the future. When it’s time for them to go job searching, no employer is going to hire someone who appears to be unreliable and unprofessional, a party animal. Also, in many cases, what you post can get you into some serious trouble. For example, right after the election last fall, a young California women
