First Public Health Graduate Pursues Personal Goals

The Association of Schools of Public Health reports that the public health student graduation rate will need to triple over the next 12 years in order to meet projected shortages in our nation’s workforce. Wayne Liu, one of the first graduates of HCC’s new public health program, plans to help fill that gap. “HCC is the first two-year college in the nation offering an arts and sciences associate of arts degree transfer program in public health,” says Jeanette Jeffrey, program coordinator and professor of public health and nutrition. “Public health focuses on saving lives at a population level through disease and injury prevention strategies. Career opportunities in this field are growing.” Liu has already gained valuable experience in the field. All of HCC’s public health majors choose from more than 80 partnering sites for direct community involvement, and Liu chose to work with the Howard County Food Bank. After his first full year of classwork, he participated in the Summer Institute for Biostatistics at North Carolina State and Duke University’s Clinical Research Institute. Liu spent last summer working at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researching thyroid cancer, especially in children, and the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Liu has transferred into the public health program at The Johns Hopkins University, and he hopes to return to NIH through its fellowship program and continue working on cancer research. “My long-term goal is to get a Ph.D. in epidemiology and I might consider getting an M.D. so I can treat patients in addition to conducting research.”

Making a Difference to Patients and Families

Danica Lyon has wanted to be a nurse for a long time. Why a nurse? “I am a hands- on person. I like knowing that I can make a difference in a patient’s day and serve as an advocate for both patients and their families,” she says. Lyon was an LPN working at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for eight years, when she started looking for a bridge program to become an RN. “HCC has an excellent reputation. The school has an amazingly high pass rate on the licensure exams, and when you are finished going to school here – you are ready to work.” “One of the ingredients that makes our nursing program so strong is the support we provide our students,” says Donna Minor, associate division chair and director of nursing. “We offer mentoring, tutoring, and study groups. And we provide flexibility in scheduling that our working students really appreciate.” As a student in the LPN to RN pathway program, Lyon says she found the faculty to be readily available and very responsive. “They prepared me well for every clinical cycle and specialty,” says Lyon. “I value the confidence I gained by practicing with the simulation patients available at HCC. They are so real, they even say ‘ouch.’” Lyon hopes to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate program and eventually get a master of science in nursing degree – all while she is working as an RN. “My goal is to be a certified registered nurse anesthetist,” she says. “After observing in the intensive care unit at Howard County General Hospital, I realize this would be an awesome way to use critical thinking skills and make decisions that can really help people and impact their lives.”

After 12 years of dedicated and inspriring service on the HCC Board of Trustees, including as chair from 2006 - 2008, Dr. Patrick L. Huddie’s appointment ended on June 30. Dr. Huddie also served as chairman of the first Commission on the Future of HCC from 1998 - 1999.

The Storied Merriweather Post Pavilion College Composition students of assistant professor Rick Leith not only accomplished their course objectives for the spring semester, they made significant contributions to local history. Leith challenged his class to research and write about Columbia’s renowned outdoor music venue, Merriweather Post Pavilion.

The class also teamed with HCC director of service learning, Brit- tany Budden, to collect and transcribe oral histories from community members about their experiences since the gates opened in 1967. The Columbia Archives was delighted to include the recorded inter- views and written transcripts into their collection, as it contains very few oral histories.

The students were prepared for this innovative learning experience with National Public Radio’s StoryCorp website, Howard County Book Connection selection Listening is an Act of Love, guest lectur- ers Barbara Kellner, director of Columbia Archives and author of Images of America: Columbia, Maryland, and Joe Mitchell, co-author of New City Upon a Hill: A History of Columbia, Maryland, as well as a tour from long-time Merriweather general manager Jean Parker.

Reflecting the values of namesakes Peter and Elizabeth, the mission of HCC’s Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center is to promote awareness, sensitivity, and a lifelong relationship with the arts. The Horowitz Center is the instructional facility for the college’s arts and humanities programs, as well as the county’s hub for professional and student art exhibits and performances.

The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival awarded HCC a certificate of recognition for “excellence in ensemble work” for the fall production of 1001. The play was co-produced by the college’s theatre program and Arts Collective, which showcases the work of HCC students, alumni, employees, and professional guest artists. This year was the first that HCC participated in the festival, and three of the students and their acting partners went on to participate in the regional festival held at Towson University in January.

Conquering Stage Fight

The class description may sound a bit threatening…unarmed, knife, single sword, quarterstaff, broadsword...but stage combat is an important and resume-enhancing skill for actors and dancers. HCC is fortunate to have a Certified Teacher with the Society of American Fight Directors on the faculty. Jenny Male, assistant professor of theatre and coordinator of musical theatre, is the only woman in Maryland with these credentials. Students of her Introduction to Stage Combat course learn basic styles and partnering techniques while creating a safe environment to portray a character in a fight performance.

Continuing the run of quality education-based shows that have become a trademark for Horowitz Center, a multimedia exhibition The Art of Seduction will be featured in the Rouse Company Foundation Gallery from January through March 2012. “The focus of the exhibit is subtle or implied sensuality demonstrated through the use of materials that are seductive; forms that are undulating and graceful, voluptuous and generous; and themes that are romantic, edgy, or emotionally heated,” says exhibit curator Gail Brown.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, a variety of exhibitions and performances to complement this theme are scheduled in the Horowitz Center as follows. Parental guidance is suggested for all events.

An Evening With Dr. Ben Carson

“Inspiring” was a superlative mentioned by many guests at HCC’s Nursing Scholarship Benefit held in the Horowitz Center this past June with renowned neurosurgeon and author Dr. Ben Carson as guest of honor.

Hosted by Jill and Patrick McCuan and presented by Kaiser Permanente and other generous sponsors, the event raised approximately $146,000 in much-needed funds to endow scholarships for HCC nursing students.

“We all need the help of nurses at some time in our lives, and they need our help now. Helping nursing students become well-trained and compas- sionate professionals ultimately helps our community,” said Patrick McCuan.

Over 250 guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, an elegant seated dinner catered by Putting on The Ritz, and a captivating speech by Dr. Carson.

“Nurses are my favorite people….They are the infantry of medicine because they are the first hands-on people with patients,” said Dr. Carson in a nearly 45-minute speech delivered in the intimate surrounds of Smith Theatre. Another highlight of the evening was the presentation by HCC President Kate Hetherington and Dr. Carson of a special certificate of completion to recent graduate Andrew Miecznikoski, whose life was saved twice by the neurosurgeon.

A LOOK AT ALUMNI

Health Care Careers are Contagious

When Marie Kittelberger enrolled in HCC’s nursing program in 1982, she had no idea she was starting a family tradition. The college business major, office manager, and mother of three was living and working in Columbia. She took a careful look at the job market and decided she wanted a career that offered more job security than her current job as an office manager. She also thought she’d like a career that gave her the opportunity to help people. So she put her name on the waiting list for the nursing program at HCC; took anatomy, physiology, and other prerequisites; and launched herself, and eventually all of her children, into health care professions. After earning her associate degree and RN certification, Kittelberger worked at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for a decade, first in neurosurgery and neurology, and then on many of the other surgery and post-surgery

floors. Following her career at the hospital, HCC nursing alumna Marie Kittelberger. she was a home health nurse for many years.
