The College's CIO, and OpenCape President and Chairman Dan Gallagher (below) provided the project overview, noting that when completed, high speed internet will be available throughout the region,  plus redundant microwave links to ensure key community resources and services would not be lost during catastrophic weather events. Rep. Sarah Peake noted that a simple snapped tree limb on a power line had knocked out 911 service to the Outer Cape the day before, something Gallagher noted would be a thing of the past once OpenCape was completed.

This exhibit runs through April 9th featuring the work of three accomplished regional artists, Soojin Kim, Bao LeDe and C. J. Phu. Working in conjunction with the College's Annual Multicultural Festival on March 6, the Higgins Spring group exhibition celebrates the work of these three contemporary painters. Born in divergent countries within Asia-South Korea, China, and Vietnam, their compelling life stories are a testimony to the immeasurable importance of the immigrant experience to the arts. Working in a variety of materials, techniques and subject matter, their paintings address the universal passions of the human community-family, a sense of place, and the beauty of nature.

 Making Life Transitions - "Boomer Learnshop" Series Starts This Coming Wednesday March 10th at 4 p.m.
Mid-life transitions are facing thousands on the Cape as Baby Boomers reach points in their lives where change is unavoidable. Cape Cod Community College's Plus50 Program is offering three Spring workshops that address some of these changes and their impact on successful aging.
The first takes place this Wednesday March 10 from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Room 115 of the South Building on the West Barnstable Campus. Titled: Passages - New Goals And Strategies At Mid-Life, the focus is on significant life changes such as retirement, career shifts and moves to new locations that now face those roughly 45 years of age and older. Family dynamics change causing individuals to relate differently with partners, parents and children. Physical changes for both "Boomers" and parents, may require adaptation and new routines to cope. More free time means cultivating new interests. This workshop focuses on developing strategies and goals for negotiating these transitions and moving successfully into the next phase of life |
