| | | | | | |  It's Opening Day! Students get a few more days (Sept. 7), but for faculty and staff, Thursday Sept. 2, was the "all hands on deck" Opening Day of the 2010-2011 academic year. President Schatzberg provided an overview of the year ahead, a snapshot of national issues and upcoming special events, and introduced the Foundation's new Executive Director Laurent Fisher. Vice President Dixie Norris looked at the immediate issue of Hurricane Earl's approach and our preparations, and then went on to review the "challenges and opportunities" in the coming year's budget. She made a point to note the Board of Trustees' intent this year to look carefully at both how the College generates revenue, and where it spends its money, adding that their focus was not to micromanage but to look for ways that their expertise and experience could help the institution work through very difficult times ahead. Pictured is Interim Vice President Susan Miller at the podium for her first Opening Day in the new position. She began by noting that she'd been attending these events since 1979, but her new role made this, by far, the most humbling and yet energizing day she'd ever attended. She laid out the year ahead focusing especially on the commitment to outcomes assessment, program review, and further linking planning and program development with institutional research data. The Massachusetts Community College's General Counsel Ken Tashjy (right) was the featured presenter of the morning, spending considerable time reviewing changes to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and to the Revised Code of Conduct that has been adopted statewide. Taskjy, with others in his office, provides legal counsel to all 15 community colleges in the state. The night before (Sept. 1), more than 50 of the College's part-time faculty joined administrators in the Lorusso Solarium for a comprehensive overview of the institution, its new Moodle digital learning environment, and specific resources available to the adjunct faculty who are a vital part of the College community. |

Two New Colleagues Welcomed To Campus  New Sociology faculty member Christine McClure (far right) was introduced to those gathered in the Tilden Arts Center on Thursday Sept. 2, as she attended her first Opening Day festivities. Prof. Emerita Mary Kay Cordill retired last year, creating the opportunity for Ms. McClure to join the campus. Workforce Training Specialist Jennifer True (immediate right) was introduced as well, and begins her new role in the Workforce Education Resource Center ( WERC). She joins Kathleen Girelli in a vital part of the institution that provides customized workforce training to employers, and offers various career-focused short courses, seminars, and workshops for individuals working in different segments of the region's economy including hospitality, real estate, construction, business, and finance. In future issues we'll provide a more detailed profile of these new members of the College community.

 Continued Strong Demand Brings Second Printing of the Outstanding "1858 Map Book" Two-thousand copies wasn't nearly enough, and through the generosity of co-publishers On Cape Publications and the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank, now there are 1500 more of this stunning, limited-edition reproduction atlas, inspired by an original copy held in the collection of the W.B. Nickerson Cape Cod History Archives here at the College. Last year, On Cape Publications' release of the book quickly sold out by year-end. In response to this ravenous demand, a second edition was underwritten by its co-publishers. This generous support allows all proceeds from its sale to benefit the $1,000,000 Nickerson Archives renovation and expansion campaign currently underway by the College's Educational Foundation. Books purchased directly through the Foundation at www.ccccfoundation.org or 508-375-4015 bring 100% of the $50 sale price directly to the Nickerson Archives renovation and expansion campaign. Cape Cod Life Magazine has just released it's new issue, and features the book in a very colorful 8 page spread. |

COMCAST Channel 98
The College's COMCAST cable channel 98 broadcasts videos of on-campus events recorded and produced by media specialist Adam Farrell, and announcements of up-coming events and special courses/seminars. The channel is seen through much of the Cape. When College programs are not running, Classic Arts Showcase, a public satellite-delivered service of a wide variety of performances, is shown on the channel. Classic Arts Showcase is shown when College-generated programming is not being broadcast. Due to adjustments required to the satellite receiving equipment. Classic Arts Showcase is NOT AVAILABLE at this time. We expect it to return to our channel by the end of next week, if not before. |
